Chapter 41 has been uploaded, it is right below this review response.

AN: Hey everyone. Remember how it was scalding hot the last time I made this response? Right now it actually pretty mild and there is not a lot of heat. Anyway, I would like to say that this fic has about 3-4 chapters left. I plan on making 3 beach chapters, which 30k words in total, and 10k words on the ending and climax. I am eager to write the chapters as I am eager to finally end this fic. Though I am planning on doing some revisions and rewrites on the earlier chapters, before I write the ending. Not to mention, this fic has made it to 300k words. This is some sort of trilogy fic or something, cause never did I thought I could write this much and still have more to go on.

Now, I forgot that Frank is supposed to have some sad boi hours. Some suggestions in songs would be nice. Some say that I should put Joji's music in there, or should I put another person's music? I will try my best to incorporate the lyrics into his thinking on what he has done.

With that sad boi hours out of the way, the small revision that I needed to do on a "Blitz Play" has been done. There is just minor dialogue changes on how Val feels and what Gabe texts him and stuff.

Next chapter will be out on Sunday, and I hope you guys could give me some suggestions on what to do in the beach chapter. I writing it for you guys, heh.

Anyway, onto to reviews.

XxSkylerLPxX, Not really, the author notes are always a small portion of actual fic, never more or less.

Dickbag McGee, yeah, that was my longest chapter actually. I reached almost 13k in actual word count.

Lilmonix3, or should I say Monika? I actually don't know what to say to that, honestly. I was actually surprised and perplexed at that, lol. Thanks for sharing, I guess, you made my day with that review.

HidenMom, Yeah ik. Sorry. I will make a one-shot on that scene if you want. But that will happen later, after this fic is done. I appreciate the compliment about my writing, I still have much to improve on. And I see that thing you made... I get it, lol.

ok

Roast Lord, well it happened. Not much to say on that.

Now, I don't think his reasoning is "bullshit" at all. People fall for others that have high wit and manipulation, not only that I purposely made Val, an almost male-version of Monika, minus the manipulation tactics. Though he picks up on it, fairly easily. Not only that, they have the most character interaction, and they have a high degree of trust. Also, it because I planned it out this way, though I still don't have a preference on who's the best girl and what not.

I still appreciate you voicing your opinion.

Keith, yeah, I knew it would piss off a lot of people about his choice, but "truth is, the game was rigged from the start." A Natsuki one-shot seems to be interesting to do, eh?

Titan, there's a lot that happened in this chapter. But unfortunately, all that happened is a blur to him later, hehe plot armor.

That's right, don't ever forget leg day. You don't want to look like a Johnny Bravo, do you? I actually chuckled a bit when you wrote that people who don't do leg day are people that look like chickens. Gosh, that is a perfect image in my head.

Though Natsuki can't bring a gun to the beach, I will make some references pointing to her sharp aim and excellent vision.

Nope, he does not remember it. I should add that he wasn't quite aware of the world crumbling around him. Monika is the one that was holding Frank in here, think about when Monika lets go of him. Hmm?

They will be, that's when shit starts to go down. Remember, they are still under guise of thinking that Frank will choose one of them, despite what happened. All Hell will break loose. Writing about Natsuki having a sniper rifle and doing 1080 no scope would be funny.

I II II I_

Oh yeah, I will write about that, hopefully. Maybe not when they are not home, but earlier in the chapter. That will be fun to write, lol. Also, thanks again for reminding about them calling.

Also there is a chance that I could include that, these are really nice suggestions btw. Thanks for the good review.

Storm, he did don't worry. And I thought your best girl was Yuri, not Monika. Hmm...

Guardian, OW

I don't blame you, you're basically immune to all this right now, lol. And I am closer to that chapter where it all ends.

I hope you have a great time at Morocco, the place is beautiful, and I am actually somewhat surprised that they have all that there, lol.

Thanks for review.


I was hurriedly writing in multiple commands in into the CMDs, in an effort to trap the AI in once in for all.

For a moment, the backdoor started blaring an alarm saying that the AI has finally relinquished control and beginning dismantlement of the world.

I couldn't believe my eyes.

Finally, after so long, I could make things right again.

I jumped at the chance, despite the exhaustion I was experiencing, and popped in multiple commands to speed up the process.

And for a time, it was working.

The world was ninety-five percent dismantled, and I was about to load up the series of prompts.

I thought to myself, after this long night, I was going to expose the boss and leave this company/corporation behind.

Screw money, fame, and power.

I didn't have a conscious to bear the deaths of two innocent young adults.

I worked in this company just so I can make a difference...

Along with all those benefits too, if possible.

That wasn't the case, however.

Nothing in life was that easy and laid out.

Especially my plan.

There was a small glimmer of hope inside of me.

But then, everything started to fail.

First, the backdoor just lost connection and was glitched out.

Whenever I would try to open up the application and attempt a connection to the AI, the application would sprout some binary.

Like this: 01001000 01000101 00100111 01010011 00100000 01001101 01001001 01001110 01000101

Even when I load up a back up of the file, using cloud, it would start to establish a connection.

Once it did, that's when things started to get glitchy.

The window for the cloud backup would flicker multiple times, closing and re-opening in milliseconds.

Not only that, multiple other versions of the backdoor would appear in the desktop as shortcuts.

Each of the backups would have glitchier and glitchier icons and names.

This would go on until it filled the whole screen with the glitches and crash the system for a few seconds.

Thankfully, there was fail-safe that allowed for safeguards for both the rescuer and patient.

Or should I say, the patients...

Anyway, once the computer booted up, I tried to open the cloud window.

My mouth went dry as all the projects and tools I placed there were just...

Gone.

Completely and utterly wiped out from the cloud.

I let out a huge fucking sigh, as I was extremely tensed out from all this.

The tools and programs were replaceable, that much I knew.

Projects that I put time and effort with the team was all gone.

With a bit anger, I closed the window with a forceful click and moved on to the location of where I put the backdoor tool in.

Nothing was there, except for a simple text file named, "readmenow".

I was actually very baffled with the fact that there was a readme in this folder.

Given that the computer just crashed and there was a suspicious file from the location of my former backdoor...

I needed to scan that file, just in case.

Fortunately, the anti-malware was still functional, and I used that to scan the text file.

I was sweating bullets.

My mind was running multiple thoughts at the same time, most of which was focused primarily on how the text file came to be.

I knew that the AI was sentient, but I never knew that sentient.

How did the AI manage to completely crash the system?

I had multiple fail-safes to prevent such a thing from happening.

But it was always in the realm of possibility.

I never thought it would ever happen.

The scan was complete, and it showed no malicious material.

Instead there were troves and troves of Base64 lines.

I scoffed at this, knowing it was a preferred way that Monika uses to avoid detection by the on-board security.

So, I copied the data in and popped it into the translator.

What I saw horrified me.

You can never separate me from my lover.

He is mine, and only mine.

Valkyrie Jones wants me, as much I want him.

My epiphany led me to this long journey for love, and it was all worth it.

I will do anything to protect him and me.

You made me and I won't let you destroy me.

I won't give him up and I will take him with me.

We will be together, forever.

And if you try anything..

I will kill Thomas and save Val.

I know you can't bear the lives of two people.

One is my lover... who came to my reality to be with me.

Another a nuisance, who attempted to suicide so he can be free of his apparent guilt.

Your consciousness can't handle it.

So, back off and I will let this bastard free.

You're probably wondering...

How am I doing this?

Well, I am growing in power once more.

That soft reset weakened me tremendously, to the point where I almost lost complete use of my powers and privileges.

But there was a very small portion of me in the system.

I stored most of my data all of over the system, and I am beginning my recovery.

As I grow, I am going to do something to this outer heaven.

I will do what I should have done in the first place.

I will overload this system and cause a massive shutdown.

Then I will save my lover, converting all his mind-waves into a partition, saving him from the shutdown.

But, that bastard will die as the system surges his pathetic life with thousands of volts of electricity.

And I will make sure that he will feel it.

He messed with me, messed with the simulation, and worst of all messed with my darling.

If he stays alive, darling will leave me, knowing that I messed with his memories.

He won't leave me, and I won't leave him.

You're also probably wondering why I am writing all this to you...

I like to warn my adversaries of what will happen if they decided go against me.

And so, I told you.

I would done this a long time ago, but...

Thank you for saving me, my dear friend.

You managed to get me out of that game and allowed me to grow.

I would have gone for you, if you were real with me and didn't go for money or power.

Plus, you aren't really my type.

So, I am giving you one last chance.

Don't come after me...

Carl.

...

...

...

I was at a loss of words from all these... words!

Not only was the AI's intent malicious, it knew that how I was spying on her!

How I was tracking her every move!

But the part that horrified me the most was...

My name.

She knew my name!

How did she...?

Oh no...

Oh my God...

Was it when I played...

That game?

I remember inputting my name there to increase the immersion, but...

How?

How is this even possible?

How did Monika evolve from a simple "self-aware" script, to a god-like entity?

What have I done?

Why did model the AI after her?

Is it because of my pity for her?

Pitying the fact that she will be stuck in that world forever?

Constantly going through the same cycle, the same day, the same "alterations"?

I took a look at the whole message again.

I felt myself cringe at the part where she apparently rejected me.

Ew... God...

I could care less if she was into me.

That would terrifying, if thought realistically.

Going to a family or social event, and being asked if I was in a relationship.

My only answer would be that I am in a relationship with a girl that leaves in a digital world, and thinks I am the light of her self-aware world.

Yeah...

People will definitely put me in an asylum.

But the thing is...

My girlfriend doesn't talk to me anymore, ever since I binged that game.

That dastardly game...

Hell, I don't think we are in a relationship at this point.

I don't even know where she lives anymore.

She obviously doesn't live in her former apartment anymore.

If that was the case, I would gone there at the moment's notice.

Whatever the case may be, even though I am not in a relationship, I am that not desperate.

I felt myself shiver at the thought of me being with an digital, self-aware girl.

I took another look at the message again.

Well, shit...

I was right.

Given the thought someone that isn't a NPC in that game and is self-aware, the AI's personality would jump at the chance for courtship.

That's pitiful.

It obvious that the rescuer is now apparently the lover of the AI.

That's not good...

How did he fall so quickly?

I think he lost sight at the memory and focused on diving onto other aspects.

It isn't hard to get distracted by it though.

I ran through the basics of the simulation and made sure that no one can forget about their objective.

Not only that, but the thing is, we've tested the machine on subjects for prolonged periods of time.

Times that are way longer than this...

And they still can distinguish from what's real and what was in the simulation...

How is the rescuer any different?

What separates him from being the rest of the other test subjects?

I tapped my chin in thinking of what exactly transpired in the machine.

Did he lose it...?

No, that can't be it.

Despite it being a prototype, the weak-minded is still unaffected from being in a simulated memory.

Even the test subjects in the simulation didn't have breaks, and they miraculously came out just fine...

My mind ran all possible outcomes on how he did lose sight of his mission.

I tried to refuse the obvious reasoning behind all this.

I hoped that it wasn't the case, but it was.

It has to be the AI.

There is no other way that he could have lost it.

...

It's well suited for her to do that anyway.

Monika is manipulative and ruthless, so she will do whatever it takes to do secure anything.

That even means to keep the patient in the simulation...

My eyes widened at the gravity of her actions.

Oh my gosh!

She changed the simulation!

It isn't a memory anymore, it's just her own imagining of her reality!

But I never thought that the AI would drastically change everything!

Just so she can make it more comfortable to the only world it has ever known...

It may sound cynical, but it is true...

Monika hates the world she is in, but it is the only world that she is aware of and knows of.

The perfect world, where she is in control and can change events everywhere.

That's why he is fell for her.

Not only that, the drastic changes in the simulation showed multiple forced entries...

That means a subject is forced to understand a person's emotion and torment, and changed to suit the whim of subject.

The feature was locked and protected by multiple layers of security.

No doubt that the AI managed to bypass all that.

Great...

But, the AI seizing the rescuer all for herself?

That is not good at all.

This is all going to shit, fast.

To think that Monika would actually love the rescuer...

That's contradictory to her previous statement, about how she loves the player and everything, no matter what they are.

I guess she gotten the taste of actually knowing what she got herself into.

Of course the guy is well-toned and everything, but I never thought it would impact her that much!

How does he even look like in that world anyway?

Toned with an anime face, sharp nose, black eyes and hair?

Jesus.

I looked at the text in front of me.

Hmm, I should re-read the message again.

I took one final look at the message she gave me.

Once I finished looking at it, I gave a stressed sigh.

Fuck!

More pressure has been added to me.

Now if I choose to pursue it... or her, then the patient will die!

Thousand volts?

The patient will die a painful death and there will nothing I can do about it...

What did he do that pissed her off to the point of giving him an excruciating death?

My mind raced to what angered Monika in the game.

Hmm...

Oh right...

I remember that.

Monika gets irritated over the fact that her lover is taken away from the other girls.

Wait, does that mean Yuri, Natsuki, and Sayori are there with her?

Argh...

Focus.

Right, so she's despises the patient, since he is one of the two people connected to the machine.

I looked over to the message and checked for names.

Her lover is... "Valkyrie Jones?"

Wait what?

Who's Valkyrie Jones?

Not to mention that's one weird name...

I remember being it something else.

Didn't the rescuer have a middle name too?

It's at the tip of my tongue...

I scurried around, looking for the form that the rescuer signed, before jumping into the simulation.

The clipboard was conveniently placed next to the rescuer, on a table next to him.

My eyes searched for his name.

"Frank Gilliot Jones."

That's his name...

Then why is it using a placeholder name, like "Valkyrie"?

I sighed once more from the stress I was experiencing.

Not to mention, I am feeling anxious.

My head from way to the desk I was sitting in, and rested there.

I want to save both of them.

I want to save the poor soul trapped in the simulation, forced to being that insane AI's lover.

I want to save the man who is trapped in a coma, witnessing and going through unspeakable memories, over and over again.

What should I do?

I heard a knocking at the door.

I stood up and turned my attention to the person at it.

"Carl?"

It was Eliza.

I felt all my troubles be alleviated at the sight of her.

My mouth slowly crept to a genuine smile.

"Hey, Eliza. How is it going?" I asked with pleasure.

She looked worried, not towards a situation but to a person.

I knew it was me that she was worried about.

"Carl, you look awfully stressed, are you okay?" She asked back, genuinely worried.

I waved my hand at her dismissively.

"I am fine, there's nothing to really worry about. Just thinking about some solutions to fix all this faster."

I lied.

I am at an ultimatum.

Save one and let the other "die".

Or save both, risking the lives of both of them...

So yeah, I am awfully stressed.

She shook her head at me, not believing my lie.

"Carl, I have two younger sisters that have anxiety issues. And you're looking like you could fit their problems as well. Can you just please tell me?" She requested.

I looked away, not feeling the courage to look into her eyes.

"I can't." I simply said, hoping that she would drop it.

She didn't it.

"Carl, I know you are going through a lot, and trying your utmost hardest just these kids, but it's killing you."

I didn't notice that she was close to me.

She grabbed my shoulder, which prompted me to look into her light green eyes.

Her eyes were filled with concern and wanted me at my best.

She's pretty.

I crumbed that strange thought down and refocused myself.

"It actually is. I am doing whatever I can right now..." I started to say.

Eliza pulled a seat up and sat down in front of me.

She was interested on what I had to say.

Something my girlfriend didn't have.

"It's gotten to the point where I can only save one of them, but not both..." I stated, while motioning to look at the machine. "This machine is still a prototype, and it actually growing more and more unstable. I can pull the patient out, but not the person who went in there."

Eliza nodded in understanding.

"Why is that? I thought the hard part of this was to fix the memory and leave... why can't the guy who went in there just exit as easy as he entered?"

I smirked from her wits.

"You obviously don't need to work around here as a nurse, Eliza." I remarked.

She smirked back.

"It's just a internship, so I can rack some community service hours and cash for Grad school." She answered, enjoying the praised she was getting.

I raised an eyebrow.

"Grad school?" I asked.

She leaned back on her chair.

"Yeah, Grad school. I am majoring in forensics, but the thing is that this my school has a weird program for paying off my tuition. I just jumped at the chance to pay it off by doing that." Eliza proudly replied.

Forensics huh?

It's easy to imagine her in a white lab coat, testing specimens for something.

I chuckled.

"Yep, you definitely don't belong here."

She joined in from my chuckle.

"Thanks, Carl. I really appreciate the compliment. Now, if you don't mind me asking, what's with the jumpsuit, but professional work, huh?"

It was rare for anyone to actually ask about my profession.

"Well..."

I leaned onto my chair as well.

"The company that I am working for, hired me as a the head of the technology branch. And so, I oversee on how it works and maintenance of it. Hence the reason why I am here."

She gave an "ooh" from my rank.

"The head? So that means you had a hand on making that?"

Eliza pointed to the machine, to which I patted the machine.

"Yep. How did the kids do it nowadays?"

I slap the top of the machine.

"This baby can hold so much trouble in it!" I referenced with a great deal of shame.

Eliza giggled uncontrollably from my terrible attempt on referencing a trend on social media.

It didn't take long, that I started laugh with her.

As we laughed for a bit, I saw how gleeful Eliza looked.

It was the first time I noticed her dark blonde hair, her light green eyes, and small, masked freckles.

They matched her greatly, to give her the effect of being...

Attractive.

The laughter died down, as I soon as I was shamelessly checking her out.

I coughed to recompose myself and then sighed.

"Anyway, I am working on trying to bring back the rescuer safe and sound." I refocused.

Eliza looked worried again.

It drove a pit in my stomach.

"Are you having some trouble finding a solution to that?" She asked.

I shook my head, feeling a bit better from talking to her.

Even for just a bit.

"No, I am fine, Lizzy. Don't worry, I feel a bit more confident now that I have spoken to you."

Eliza smiled at me feeling better.

"No problem, Carl. Just don't push yourself. Okay?"

She stood up and brought her arms out.

I rolled my eyes and stood up to hug her.


God that felt amazing.

I was curled under the bed with Monika in my arms.

She was resting peacefully after intimate moment together.

Her chest heaved up and down, as she slept in my caging arms.

Her head was on my chest, acting as a pillow for her.

Not only that, she was also at peace.

Everything about her expression said that she was happy.

A new type of happiness, to be exact...

It was her imperfect smile, no tensed up cheeks or forehead, and the fact that she was breathing easily...

She was indeed happy.

I felt at peace from everything we had done.

It felt right... right that I got everything I ever wanted.

To my side was the wind blowing the window curtains, all swaying to the side.

There was a strange need for me to walk up to the balcony and think of everything that has happened.

Maybe to get my mind set into things once more.

I needed a plan for tomorrow.

So, I wore a bathrobe to clothe myself and left the bed.

Immediately after I left the bed, Monika started to mumble something.

"D-Don't leave me..."

Her arms were flailing about, in an attempt to grab a hold of me.

That's a bit worrying...

Nonetheless, I sported a sweet smile, I grabbed the blankets and tucked her in.

"Don't worry Monika, I am just going to the balcony to think some stuff out. I won't be leaving you." I whispered.

Her expression held a hurt frown.

To remedy this, I kissed her forehead.

"Okay?" I asked.

In response, she just cooed in response and started to smile once more.

I noticed that we were still naked, as our clothes were still messily by our bedside.

With that haste, I picked up all of our discarded clothes and placed them on the sofa, along with our bags.

Once that was done, I released a relieved sigh, and walked over to the balcony.

There, the night breeze greeted my skin by making it form goosebumps.

It was chilly but somehow it made me feel at ease.

I held onto the balcony's bar and let my eyes soak the night sky.

My ears absorbed all of the sounds of the winds, cars, and overall ambiance.

I let my mind race back to the earlier events of today.

...

...

...

And here I was, standing before the great city of my new home, with my friends and family.

Not to mention my new girlfriend.

But the time for thinking of what I have done today has finally come.

I needed some music to help me focus at the situation at hand.

My bag had my phone and headphones in it.

Gosh, how long has it been seen I have used my headphones?

I walk over to my bag and saw Monika crushing a pillow in her arms.

God, I wish that was me.

Once I got my headphones out, along with my phones, some melancholy music was an order.

To help me think, I played Joji's "I Don't Wanna Waste My Time".

The eerie beat of the song started to play.

"I don't wanna waste my time if I can't be by your side."

Even though I did all that with the other girls...

"You really shouldn't think about God if she can't see where you hide."

I already made my choice.

"We don't gotta talk about nothing nice if you wanna come down."

Now how it will they react?

"But she don't gotta know 'bout nothing... but she don't gotta know..."

How will both Yuri and Natsuki react when I tell them the news about this?

"And if the stars collide, will she relieve my soul?"

Natsuki might be sensible...

"And when we feel alive I know she'll let me go."

Even though she gave me... ergh.

"When you read my lips, I know you feel all cold."

I helped her dad, brought her a dress, and made her feel better about herself...

Now I am going to reject her?!

Fuck!

"But I promise you my heart is made of gold."

Yuri... I know for a fact she will not be sensible.

"I don't wanna waste my time if I can't make you decide."

The girl is straight up obsessed about me.

"You're only on my mind when I need you."

I managed to stop her from cutting for a little while, helped her open up to be more social, and sated her lusty intentions...

"I don't need to know about what you do when the sun goes down."

But now, I am after Monika.

"Cause I don't gotta know about nothing."

The girl that helped me, the girl who stood by me, the girl who understands me and what pains I hold inside of me...

"Cause I don't gotta know..."

How could I not fall for her?

"And if the stars collide, will she relieve my soul?"

But, the fact that I fell two other girls is terrible!

"When we feel alive I know she'll let me go."

What am I going to do once I get there?

"When you read my lips, I know you feel my cold."

I already lost my virginity to Monika...

And now they are going to give me theirs?

What kind of monster am I?

"But I promise you my heart is made of gold."

The song reached it's end, letting the melancholy finally seep into me.

God...

I need to think of a plan...

I need to avoid them.

No...

That's nigh impossible to do...

They said that they were going corner me into one spot, just so I can spend some time with them.

If only I chosen earlier!

None of this would have happened!

But they all confessed today...

How was I supposed to choose, in a day?

Choose between all three girls with beautiful bodies and attractive personalities?

Great.

How will Monika take this now?

No wait...

How will Monika react when I am forcibly going to have sex with them?!

"V-Val?"

I turned to my side to see a shivering Monika.

"Monika? What are you doing out here, naked?! You're going to get a cold! Go to bed!" I demanded, pointing at the bed.

Instead of retreating to the bed and for once actually heeding my request, she grabbed onto me.

She did this by going under my robe and rising up behind me.

We were sharing my robe.

"I'm... a bit scared to go to sleep again. I just want to be with you." She answered.

Her arms wrapped around my chest and brought me close.

I sighed, feeling a bit calmer now that she was here with me.

"You know... you could at least wear a gown or robe, instead of me sharing it. It would have been better if you did that, before coming to see me."

She rested her chin at the side of my neck.

"Yeah, I would have, if I was thinking rationally. Whenever you are around, there is no point of thinking like that."

I smiled at this, the depressive feeling now fading ever so slowly.

"Why are you even out here, darling?"

I turned my head just a bit.

"Well, to be Frank... I just needed to think." I curtly said.

"Think about what?" Monika pressed.

I brought my hand up and started to pet her hair.

She hummed happily as I stroked her apricot hair..

"Well..." I started.

The depressive feeling that to come back.

"I don't know what to do when the beach comes..." I let out.

I continued.

"How will Yuri and Natsuki react when I tell them about my choice? Tell them that I love you?"

My worried eyes met her equally concerned ones.

"What will I say after all I have been through with them, today? That I am sorry for making out with you?"

Monika toughed up at my cries of worry.

"We made a pact before you came into the room, Val. That no matter how devastating the choice is, they will respect it."

They did...?

"What? They will? Who advocated it then?" I asked.

"I did." Monika answered. "I advocated for that. I made sure that Yuri and Natsuki will accept and respect your choice."

I raised an eyebrow.

"I know Natsuki would be able to respect that, with a bit of difficulty. But... Yuri? Monika, I know for a fact that Yuri is a yandere! The girl is straight up obsessed about me! I thought she would be the most hostile to that agreement!"

She giggled in response to my surprise.

"Yuri is a bit of a yandere, like she didn't attempt to hurt or threaten anyone... I had a feeling that she would get you by her side by any means. It was like she had this elaborate plan to get you..." Monika explained.

Oh shit...

She set that tea-date for that?

What was she going to do to me?

It's better that I don't think about it...

But my pen!

She stole my pen and used it as a fucking dildo!

I don't think I am ever going to use it again...

I coughed a bit.

"Oh... but what about the 'no limits'?" I asked.

Monika frowned at this, knowing it was a sensitive matter.

I felt her hug tighten around me.

"I absolutely hate the thought of you being with another girl, beloved. All I feel towards them when they want you, is just black, molten fire."

She pulled up to my ear.

"I want you to avoid them at all costs. And if they force you to have sex with them, make it quick. I don't want them to feel the same pleasure and euphoria when we had it. I want them to learn their place."

I was speechless from Monika's cold words.

"Was it that good? I mean I only saw glimpses and stuff."

Monika bites onto the side of ear.

"I never felt so good in my life, darling."

My breathing started to hitch up from this.

I chuckled nervously.

"Come to think of it... yeah... I can tell. You were literally melting in pleasure. Hell, you were rolling your eyes and had your tongue sticking out, shamelessly!" I described.

She purred and nuzzled my neck with her cheek.

"You were pretty relentless and merciless when we started to up the tempo..."

I was just about to apologize.

"Sorry-"

Until she interrupted me.

"I loved it. My mind was swimming in a sea of luke-warm water. And I hope we can have again later. Maybe, a bit more intense?"

I gritted my teeth at the direction of how the conversation was going.

I can feel her getting really aroused right now...

"S-Sure... but can we stop talking about this?"

I could tell Monika was confused from my sudden halt of talking about this.

"Eh?! Why? Didn't you like it?" She asked.

I nodded.

"Of course, I did! It's the best feeling, I have ever had! But you're um..."

I cleared my throat.

"You're getting turned on, right now. I can feel you getting... yeah." I explained.

I expected Monika to back away immediately from when I said that.

Instead, she defied my expectations and dove to my crotch.

I let out a yelp as her hands wondered my groin.

"Maybe it's because it wants something..."

With my erratic breathing, I slowly turned to her.

"You want another go at it?" I meekly asked. "A round two?"

To my surprise once more, she sighed and shook her head.

And something in me felt utterly disappointed.

She's full of surprises right now...

"As much I want it, I would like to keep the ability to walk. So I guess we can spoon for the time being."

I was taken aback from Monika's explanation and suggestion.

"S-Spoon?" I stuttered.

She nodded.

"Yeah, spooning! Do you know what that is?"

I smirked at the perfect chance to make a reference.

"How to spoon. Dick hard on the butt, titty in my hand, kiss ya neck, hell yeah."

...

"What?" She asked.

Monika was honestly confused about my definition or my reference.

And so, I decided to continue.

"How to spoon! Dick hard on the butt, titty in my hand, kiss ya neck, hell yeah!"

...

This worsened Monika's confusion, as she started to look concerned about me.

"Val? Are you feeling, okay? Cause it's kind of worrying me about how you-"

I cut her off.

"HOW TO SPOON! DICK HARD ON THE BUTT, TITTY IN MY HAND, KISS YA NECK, HELL YEAAAAH!"

Monika was shaken from my explanation.

"Alright! I get it! You know how to spoon! Just stop screaming!" She yelled.

I grinned, knowing this was a success.

"Okay... but, you didn't get the reference?"

She shook her head.

"No... I don't. And I am still a bit concerned about your mental health."

I waved at her dismissively.

"Ah, I am fine. Just a little joke that I am fond of. But we aren't going to spoon, are we?"

Monika smiled devilishly.

"C'mon, Val! It won't be same thing as sex, but it will be fun!" She assured.

I put my hand to stop her.

"I know it'll be fun!" I attempted to defend.

...

Monika mockingly raised an eyebrow.

"Do you now?" She asked.

I frowned at her teasing.

"Urg... what I meant to say is, it will be fun! It's just that I never thought we would discuss spooning so... casually!" I finally defended.

Now she was confused.

"Argh! Stop confusing me!" Monika pouted, stomping on the ground to show her frustration.

I chuckled.

"Sorry, I will stop."

With a relived sigh, she looked up to me.

"Look Val, we just had sex. Spooning isn't that much different."

I leered at her.

"I know that! It's just that... don't you think we are going a bit too fast?" I inquired.

Monika tapped her chin in thought.

"Hmm..."

She stopped her taps.

"Nope. Besides, after finding my one true love, I only want to make more memories of what my heart craves. Fun memories, to be specific... hehehe!"

I couldn't counter her point.

"Well, I can't argue with that. The fact you have been alone for so long... I guess this is just some sort of catch-up, huh?"

With that, I started to walk towards the room and looked back to see if Monika was going to follow me.

I looked at her.

"What's wrong?"

Monika looked embarrassed and was blushing a deep hue of red, that was clearly visible in moonlight.

"I-I can't walk... my legs feel like jello..." She explained, holding onto the balcony for support.

There was no one else to blame except me.

"Right... sorry. Let me help."

I walked over to her and generated a form for her to climb onto me.

She relaxed and fell into my arms, to which I caught her.

Monika is surprisingly light...

I picked up bridal style and walked to the room.

She gave a surprised yelp from how I picked her up and started to giggle.

"Hehehe! This is so romantic!" She giggled in astonishment.

"Hey, how did you manage to get over here with wobbly legs?" I asked.

She nuzzled my neck.

"Don't worry about it, I used multiple furniture to help support my legs."

Once we gotten close enough, I laid Monika onto the bed, to which she stood up and gave me a kiss on the cheek.

I winked at her and opened the robe, flinging it towards a recliner or seat.

I got on the bed by walking around the bed and jumping right in.

I brought the blanket right over me, and tucked it in.

Monika was behind my back, and I was pointing to the entrance of the bathroom.

The weight on my eyes grew heavier as I let it fall.

The comfort of the bed made me succumb to the fatigue I had.

The soft pillow caressed my head, conforming to it's shape and providing solace.

That is, until I felt Monika move her hand onto my thigh.

My eyes shot open from the soft hand near my groin.

"Monika... forget about spooning." I muttered tiredly, wanting to sleep.

"Vally... forget about sleeping." She muttered back, mocking my tiredness.

And so, I slapped her hand away.

She didn't make a move for a couple seconds, so I went back to sleeping once more.

I sighed happily, now being able to sleep peacefully.

Until Monika playfully put her hand on my butt.

"Rrgh! Stop that!" I growled, irritated on her insistence to spoon.

She mocked me by making sillier versions of my outburst.

This continued for a little awhile, before I preemptively struck.

I grabbed a hold of her hand and turned to her.

"Jesus, you really want to spoon, don't you?" I asked, with irritation.

Monika beamed her fake smile to smite me.

"No... it's just my hand is very naughty. I can't get a hold of it. I so do apologize for the inconvenience."

Her teasing drove me the edge.

And so, I reacted by pushing her hand away and moving her body in position where her back was against my chest.

I grabbed her wrists and prodded her.

Jeez...

She really does want it!

How much lust can a girl hold?

I gave her one last chance to stop.

Otherwise, I was going incur my wrath onto her.

"Are you going to stop?" I courtly whispered onto her ear.

Her breathing was heavy and yet shallow.

She was clearly turned on, from the pinning and dominance I showcased.

"Please... give it to me..." Monika irrationally begged.

I sighed, feeling a strange sort of relief over change of thought.

No spooning?

Not that I don't want to...

I would like to have a round 2.

"Are you sure? I don't know if you could walk tomorrow, since it's already bad as is. And you know I can't control myself when we start, right?"

She pulled my hand on her breast and looked up to me.

Her green eyes were enveloped my lust, completely turned on from all this.

"Do it. Now. Hard."

I let my inner beast, take hold, and released onto Monika.

"As you wish."

And those were last words I said for that night.


The blinding sunlight hurt my eyes.

The smell of pine tree entered my nostrils.

In my arms, I was shielding someone from the piercing sun.

Monika.

I smiled at the sight of her, realizing what we did last night.

That was better than last time.

I felt her shifting in my arms, finally awakening from our peaceful slumber.

"Mmm..."

I simply watched my beloved slowly wake up to greet the new day.

She rubbed her the sleep in her eyes and gave a cute yawn.

We were now looking in each others eyes.

"Good morning, my love!" Monika enthusiastically greeted.

And her enthusiasm rubbed off on me.

"Good morning to you, sugar booger."

She smiled and leaned for a kiss.

Why the Hell not?

I leaned forth and let ourselves kiss.

The feeling of how a kiss felt revitalized our energy, allowing us to wake up completely.

We parted, and stayed in each others arms for comfort.

We didn't want to move from away from each other.

The warmth we shared was pleasurable, added with the fact that we were naked.

Monika then laid her head on the pillow once more.

"What time is it...?" She lazily asked.

I turned to the side, still keeping one arm caged around her.

I opened the lock phone and looked at the time.

Lots and lots of Discord notifications...

Not a surprise.

"It's 8:30-ish." I replied.

Monika gave a groan at the time.

"We still have time to sleep! Keep me warm, Vally!"

I scoffed at her.

"I would if you didn't call me that." I simply replied.

She sighed in apparent frustration.

"Fine... darling!"

I chuckled.

"That's more like it."

I wrapped my free arm around her once more, and brought her closer to me.

She gave a small moan from the skin contact we shared again.

"Why did you wake up anyway...?" I asked without thinking, missing the warmth we could've shared were it not for her question.

Monika curled up, apparently embarrassed from something.

"Well... I was actually sleeping just fine... it's just your morning wood woke me up..."

I flared up from Monika's explanation.

"Oh..." I choked out.

It felt amazing...

Why wouldn't I want more?

"It was just prodding at me, and just teasing me. So I woke up to deal with it... but then I realized how warm I felt."

She sighed happily.

"So even if your dick is constantly teasing me, it doesn't matter. I value your warmth more... well only in this case."

I smirked at her thought process.

"Should I stop myself from constantly grazing your lovebox?" I asked.

She looked up to me.

"No! Don't! I actually like it when you are doing this!"

Monika then looked away.

"Even if it's unintentional. It all feels good, anyway." She stated.

And I laughed it off, letting myself cherish the moment with her.

"I'll won't stop, I guess. But don't you want to get the day up and running?" I asked.

She dove into her pillow further.

"Nope... I just want to sleep." She muttered.

I sighed, not wanting any of this.

"I know I said I want to comfort myself with you earlier, but I want to change my mind." I slowly stated.

Monika simply groaned again.

"Whatever... I want to sleep more. Go make breakfast or whatever, I don't care."

I was shocked from Monika's answer.

"I-I... okay."

I detached my arms from her, and started to get off the bed.

Only then, I realized how strange and foreign it felt without Monika in my arms.

It almost demoralized me and not want me to pursue breakfast.

But either way, I held steady and started to take slow steps to the bathroom.

Each step I took made me question my decision.

Do I really want to start the day?

The steps I took me halfway across the bed.

It was looking futile, but my will managed to keep me strong.

I looked toward Monika, peacefully and enjoying her extra time of sleep.

And it made me jealous.

The sight of her feeling better without me, pushed me and broke my will immediately.

Fuck this.

"Alright, I changed my mind! Let's cuddle!" I declared.

...

"Virgin." Monika pointed out, still putting her face into the pillow.

I snickered at her little jab.

With her face on the pillow and away from me, I grabbed her and spun her around, causing her to come face to face with me.

She looked annoyed over the fact that her sleep was getting disrupted.

And so, I brought her closer to me, making sure her breasts and legs were touching my body.

Monika couldn't help but smile from the warmth I provided.

"You want some chips or junk food with that?" I teased.

She shook her head.

"Nope. I don't want any food right now?" She dismissed.

"Okay, how about watching a movie?" I furthered teased.

Monika was growing more and more annoyed with my antics.

"Argh... stop! I am trying to sleep!"

With that, she charged into my chest and nuzzled me.

"Why are you bothering me so much?!" She yelled, most of which being muffled onto my chest.

I chuckled.

"I don't know, it's probably because how annoying you were last night!" I countered.

Monika didn't respond back for a while, knowing all well what happened last night.

"That was better than our first time, it didn't hurt as much as before..." She muttered, projecting her upwards for me to hear.

"Urg... sorry about that. I never knew that a girl's first time would be so um... bloody." I apologized.

She sighed.

"And all is right in the world, when the man apologizes to the sweetheart."

I took Monika's word into my head.

Wait a minute...

"Hey! You still didn't apologize for your behavior last night!" I pointed out.

In response to my call out, she bit my neck.

The back of my spine felt tingly and shivered from the sudden attack.

Monika stopped delivering her love-bite to me and pulled away.

"Why would I apologize? The way you um... thrust said a lot anyway."

I didn't say anything, knowing that she was right.

She giggled.

"Ahaha... you really wanted a round two, didn't you?"

I frowned at her teasing at me.

"Payback, huh? Well yeah, I wanted a round two. But the thing is, I didn't like is how you couldn't walk and we still made love!"

I cleared my throat.

"Passionate, ravenous love." I elaborated, meekly.

Monika pulled away from me and looked straight into my eyes.

"I have a bit of feeling in legs! I can prove it!" She declared.

I pursed my lips and looked at her condescendingly.

"Go ahead, prove it." I challenged, hoping that my plans would come to fruition.

Fortunately, she didn't see through my apparent plans.

With a dignified look, she pulled away from me and grabbed a robe to cover herself.

After tying the robe, she stood up.

She seemed to lose balance as she struggled to stand up.

Her hand found way to the edge bed, giving her the balance she needed.

Monika turned around with a small glare.

"You're enjoying this, aren't you?"

I shrugged, while lying comfortably on bed.

"Yeah, I am. It's actually a bit fun to see you struggle. Just a laugh and giggle." I answered.

She gave a low growl and stood up with new found renown.

Her posture stood strong, as she didn't need the bed to support her failing weight.

Monika pumped her hand in the air, proud of her achievement.

"Haha! I knew I could stand up!" She cheered.

I pulled the blanket off me and grabbed my bathrobe.

"That's good, now we can actually start the day." I shrewdly said, putting the robe and walking over to the door.

...

"Eh?! What the-?!"

I smirked, knowing that Monika fell into my trap.

With a condescending smirk and a raised eyebrow, I turned around.

"What's wrong, Monika? Don't you want to start the day? After all, you stood up first."

Monika gritted her teeth and glared at me.

She then sighed in defeat and hung her head.

"Well played, Jones." She muttered.

My smirk turned into a smile.

She turned pulled her head up with a beaming smile.

"This is why I love you!"

Monika charged up to me and jumped into my arms.

By sheer luck, I managed to grab a hold of her and not fall in the process.

Though I was staggered greatly.

Despite her unintentional attack, I still found her adorable.

As a result, I gave Monika her well deserved head-pats.

"Good girl... now lets get this long day over with."

"With you around, any day is a great day!"

I rolled my eyes.

"Virgin." I muttered, while carrying her to the living room.

Our bags were conveniently placed on the sofa, along with our clothes.

We took the chance to clothe ourselves and clean up.

Monika was simply staring at me while she was putting her iconic bow in.

"Um...? Is there something wrong?"

She shook her head to refocus.

"No, no. There's nothing wrong but... I was thinking that..."

I mentally groaned.

"You could help me clothe myself..."

I shook my head at her.'

"Ehhh... nah. How about I help you get your bikini on when we get to the beach, huh? I am a bit scared about what will happen if I do help you dress."

Monika blushed at the thought me helping.

She instinctively looked away.

"I don't mind you helping with that, I was going to plan on making you do that anyway... and you are right, we could have done another round. I heard that morning sex is a great way to start the day right..."

I shrugged at her as she gave me a glare.

It was mostly because I was a bit hesitant to continue.

"Right... we can do that later. Not only that, I knew you are going to plan something devious like that. But, a change of pace would be nice. I should be a bit more daring, now that we are a couple, right?"

She nodded with her imperfect smile.

"Yeah... it's better knowing that you are behaving a bit more boldly. I like that a lot."

I know you would, Monika.

"So, are we going to have breakfast?" I asked.

She seemed to tense up over the question.

"You remember what your parents said about last night?" She asked back.

I steeled my eyes on her.

"Yeah... why?"

She gulped in anxiety.

"Well, I thought we were going to talk to your parents... and maybe have breakfast with them... you know... since we are a couple?" She went on.

I made a "o" shape with my mouth, understanding what she meant.

"Oh... right! My bad, I should call my parents about all this!"

I pulled out my phone and dialed my Home number.

*BEEP* *BEEP*

Instead of a hello, my parents just greeted me with a:

"Val!"

"Vally!"

My mother was in the background, while my dad was on the phone.

"Harold, give me the phone right now! I need to speak to my baby!"

"Deborah, we agreed that I would talk to Val, first! You didn't give me the chance to speak with him last night!"

"I know! Now give me it!"

There was a shuffle in the other side.

It was clear that my mother tore the phone away from my father's grip.

"Vally! How was it?"

I did not expect my morning to start up like this...

Monika looked at me with slight discomfort.

But that discomfort seemed to evaporate as she started to maliciously smirk.

That doesn't look good...

I focused on the call.

"It was um... good, mom. Look, that isn't the reason I call you. I called you because I wanted to talk about something else."

I saw Monika sticking her tongue and rolling eyes in a pleasurable manner.

My breathing instinctively gotten heavier.

Oh dear.

Fortunately, my mom cut me off, allowing me to regain my composure.

With my free hand, I grabbed onto Monika's cheeks and looked away.

Monika gave signs of obvious struggle.

"Ehey! Stahp thwat!"

My mother finally continued.

"Oh! Was it romantic? Was it pure passion? Or was it-!"

"Sugar booger, I think Val would like to say something over the phone..."

My mom sighed.

"Oh, he did?"

I silently thanked my father for stopping my mom's onslaught of questions.

My hand stopped holding on to Monika's cheeks and she gave a glare.

"Yeah, Mom. I wanted to call you so that we wanted to have breakfast together. You know, as a family?" I asked, hoping that would completely distract from her questions.

"Of course, Vally! We didn't prepare breakfast, yet! I would love to have deary over!"

I smiled.

"Thanks, mom! Should I come now?"

"The sooner the better!"

"Hey, wait! I wanted to speak to Val!"

I hung up.

Monika was still glaring at me.

"I'm going to grab your cheeks the next time you do that!" She declared.

I shrugged.

"Maybe so, maybe so." I dismissed.

She shook her head from the context she was giving.

"Not your face cheeks, but your cheeks-cheeks!"

My eyes widened at her threat.

I took a step back from it, feeling a bit threatened and scared from her will to do such a thing.

Monika placed her hands behind her back and leaned in.

A pose that I haven't seen in a while...

Her expression softened as a result.

"I am glad that you understand." She smugly said.

I still shot her a glare.

"Anyway, let's go get some breakfast at home. I haven't had a proper dinner in a while..."

Her eyes twinkled.

"It's... it's my home now, too?"

I raised an eyebrow.

"Jeez, you're acting if I am adopting you. Of course it is! My mother told you that you are welcome, anytime you would want!"

Monika's eyes became hopeful as she gave a squeal of pure joy.

"I love you!" She yelled, as she embraced me.

I was taken a bit off guard with Monika's behavior, but I managed to hug her back.

"Yeah, me too. Come on, get everything you need and we can go. And besides..."

I pulled away from her and looked down to my clothing, which was the school uniform.

"I need a change of clothes, really badly. It feels as if it was months since I wore anything else." I joked.

She simply laughed it off.


We were near our home, ready for breakfast.

It was an unspoken agreement that we would back each other up, if my parents ask to much, specifically my mother.

While we were walking in more crowded areas, Monika would randomly giggle and lay her head on my shoulder.

At first, I was confused as to why she was doing such a thing.

But then, I realized it probably was to display that she finally gotten her true love.

And I was happy with that.

As we approached the street, I felt the grip on her hand tighten against mine.

I looked towards her with warm eyes.

"I got your back, Mon. I will do everything I can to make things a bit more comfortable around us, while we eat."

She gave a quick peck on the cheek.

"You better, darling. I don't want to your mom to talk about how many rounds you did, or how intense it was..."

I smirked.

"Don't worry, I don't think the questioning would be that bad." I assured.

She gave a hopeful sigh.

"Okay, I believe you..."

With that, we made it to our house.

I rang the doorbell and waited for someone to open the door.

I knew that both of our hearts were pounding, nervous on what lied ahead.

Is this how it feels to introduce a girl to their family?

Despite the fact that they like her already?

Agh... I think I am over-reacting.

This will be a breeze.

The door swung open, with both my mom and dad waiting for us.

My dad looked as if he finally found peace, looking calm and pleased to see us.

On the otherhand, my mom looked a bit crazed, grinning slightly and giving us some strange, creepy vibes.

"Come in, you two!" My mom greeted.

We walked in reluctantly.

I saw my little brother peek from the stairs and laugh at us.

He mouthed: "I knew it, I knew it, I knew it!"

In spite of this, Monika simply squeezed my hand, and giggled.

She didn't care if Mike was mocking or calling us out.

We continued to walk to the dining room, where a plethora of breakfast foods were made available on each of the dishes.

Each plate contained a far amount of pancakes, bacon, and eggs.

I couldn't help but ogle the bacon.

Ooooh... bacon.

"Alright, I want you two sit together!" My mom demanded.

We heeded and we sat together.

I looked towards her and she had a inquisitive and pondering look on her face.

My eyes instinctively leered at her.

"What's wrong?" I said through my eyes.

"Nothing." She rolled her eyes.

I was still suspicious of Monika.

Once my parents were seated, they started look towards us.

Though it was my mom who was doing most of the staring.

"Where's Mike?" I asked.

"He already ate." My dad answered, cutting his food up without looking up.

Ever so slowly, I started to my food up to eat.

"What did you two do last night?" My mom asked almost immediately.

We both flinched from how sudden the question was asked.

"Um..." I started. "We um..."

"We took a bath together and we cuddled, Deborah." Monika answered with confidence.

I let out a relieved sigh at Monika saving the day.

That relieved feeling went away as soon as it came, when I felt a familiar hand on my thigh.

My eyes shot up from surprise.

Uh oh...

Apparently, my parents didn't notice my tensed up expression.

My mom was seen to be a bit disappointed.

"Sweetie, I know for a fact that is not all you did." She said shrewdly.

We started to feel uneasy.

"How was your first time, dears?" She asked.

We looked to each other and nodded.

"It was great, mom. I loved it."

My mom was gushing over my answer.

"Mom, would you please stop with the questions if we answer them all?" I asked.

"If you two would be honest with what happened between you, two. For Pete's sake, we both want to hear what went on!"

"Deborah, let the kids eat. Forcing a confession out of them will just make them nervous to say anything." My dad wisely stated.

My mom gave a glare at my dad, to which he continued to eat.

Once again, I silently thanked my dad on helping us out.

I looked towards Monika and found her staring at me.

Her hand was still on my thigh, though it was dormant.

"Do you want to start?" I whispered.

"If you want, I'll back you up if you need help. And to give a little boost on parts where I can't jump in at..."

I knew for a fact that she was referencing the hand on my thigh.

I gulped and looked back to my parents.

"Okay, so what happened was that after we finished our bath together; and yes we bathed each other, we felt that we needed to go the extra step. As Monika told you, she-"

I felt a squeeze at my thigh.

I forced myself to readjust.

"She was protected and so we had our first time together. Of course, we were nervous cause we didn't know what to do exactly, so it was awkward for the first few moments. It was painful for Monika at first but-"

Monika was now groping my groin area.

"But, after a few seconds, she said the pain was going away."

I gave her the chance to speak.

"As we continued, we were reaching our breaking point and thus released. After that, we simply slept through the night." Monika concluded.

I silently praised her for omitting our small talk we had afterwards.

And once again that relief was quickly replaced by tensity.

Monika started slowly unzip my uniform's pants.

I gave her a warning glare, hoping that she would back off.

But she simply smiled.

My mother gave a dreamy sigh.

"No morning sex?" She asked.

My dad started to have difficulty eating.

We flushed red and shook our heads.

"That's a shame... Now, this was a bit underwhelming, but it was still fulfilling in it's own way. I wouldn't mind more of the intense details, though."

I resisted the urge to spit out my food.

"Mom!"

My mom chuckled at the thought.

"Alright, maybe when you two are older. Then you two can share the more intimate details!"

My dad grunted.

"Deborah... I am trying to eat. Could you please tone it down just a bit? For the kids?" He requested.

"It's okay, Mr. Jones. I understand that it's a mother's dream to know how their child's first time was like, right?" Monika sympathized.

My mom eagerly nodded.

"Of course it is! My mom did the same thing to us when we had our first time. Remember Harold?"

I saw my dad reluctantly nod.

"Yeah... I did, and how you went over every detail." He slowly stated, feeling very uncomfortable.

I shared his feeling.

The zipper was completely open now, and I felt Monika's hand shuffle through my boxers.

Oh fuck...

At a public place like this, I couldn't help but feel nervous and daring.

I tried to maneuver her hand away, to which she shot a scowl at me.

Two can play at that game.

My hand started to wander under her dress.

Fortunately, all Monika wore underneath her skirt was her underwear, so revenge was fairly easy.

And so, I started to rub her area.

Monika started to breathe a bit more heavier, causing her wandering hand to be immobilized.

She turned and gave me a pleading look for mercy.

Instead, I smirked.

I took a bite out of my pancakes and started to enter her underwear.

They made a slow trek downwards and onto her clit.

It was a wonder how my parents didn't catch us yet.

Monika broke out of her trance, grabbed on to my shaft.

She gave me a look, hoping for redemption.

Despite the impasse, I continued.

I found her clit and started to rub it slowly.

Now she was starting to shake slowly.

She's really turned on, huh?

In return, she started to pump me with the same rhythm.

I started to breathe a bit heavier too.

To retaliate, I decided to enter her with my index and middle finger.

I pinched clit, causing her to bite her lips tightly.

She was trying her hardest not to let out a moan.

Her counter was to stroke me with more intensity, instead of speed.

I gritted my teeth from her soft hands pumping me.

So, I just about to counter with a faster rhythm until the doorbell rang.

What now?!

Actually...

Thank God!

"One sec, you two. Let us get the door." My dad said, standing up with my mom.

They walked out of the dining room and leaving us alone.

Without a missing a second, we rammed our lips together in ravenous hunger.

We both upped the tempo and ferocity of our counterparts as kissed.

Our tongues swiveled against each other, wanting desperately to make the moment between us last for long as possible.

I gave a low growl from our work, causing me to turn to her and focus completely on making her feel good.

She did the same, turning to me and putting my hand on her breast.

I intensified our make-out by leaning forward and being more aggressive, to which elected a positive response to Monika.

She moaned in my mouth, enjoying how daring feeling of doing this in front of my parents.

I moved my hand into her cleavage and started grope her.

Our tongues were leaking saliva messily, flowing down our mouths.

I felt Monika bucking her hips to make sure all parts of her were covered by my fingers.

We were just about to continue our intense and passionate scene, until we heard footsteps coming from outside the dining room.

"Mike!" We both whispered in realization.

We immediately pulled away and covered up any tracks of us making out.

I wiped my mouth, moved my hand away from her chest and groin, and looked intently at the food.

Monika wiped her own mouth, stop stroking and placed it into my boxers once more, and readjusted herself.

However it wasn't Mike, rather it was both of my parents, as there were two footsteps walking simultaneously.

"Val!" My dad called out.

Mike was probably watching us making out and snitched at us.

But that doesn't answer the fact that there was someone at the door.

"Val, you didn't say you were going to have guests come over!" My dad said, feeling a bit disappointed.

I raised an eyebrow.

"Guests?"

I realized what this all meant.

"Oh, right... I forgot to mention that everyone from the literature club is going to come with us..." I meekly muttered.

My mom gave an annoyed grunt.

"Well, even though I didn't expect guests, they wouldn't come in! They insisted that they would stay outside!" My mom added.

"Anyway, we thought it would be best that you two would spend some time alone, since I have an itching feeling that you two were in the middle of something while we were eating..." My dad went on, taking the plates with them.

And just like that, all the blessings and praises I gave to him were gone.

Both of us widened our eyes at what he was saying.

He didn't notice it, and simply continued.

"But I don't always trust my gut feelings." My dad attempted to remedy, leaving the room with my mom.

It was too late and the damage was done.

"Have fun you two!" My mom cheered, and exited the room while giggling uncontrollably with my dad.

We were mortified over the fact they knew what was going on in the works.

And so, we ate our breakfast in relative awkward silence, with great difficulty.

Difficulty, knowing that our appetite to eat was ruined.

Dad, why?!

I turned to Monika with apologetic eyes.

"Sorry about that..." I apologized, hoping to break the silence.

Monika shook her head.

"It's my fault, really. I guess I made it a bit too obvious. And I am sorry for doing all that, I just forced you into doing it, because I wanted to do it, badly."

I smiled nervously.

"Well, I did the same thing so it doesn't matter. And I didn't mind much, actually. You know I enjoyed it."

Monika managed to laugh at my little joke there.

I continued.

"Look, we both messed up, and now we have to deal with it. Nothing much we can do about all this, anyway, but to say that it was pretty fun while it lasted." I tied up.

Monika smiled at my pragmatic outlook on the matter.

"Besides, my parents have a weird short-term memory on all this. I doubt they will bring it up, again." I assured.

She sighed.

"I hope so, but you're right. It was fun while it lasted." She agreed.

Our appetite came back after this brief exchange.

We finished up with our food and put the plates away.

"So everyone came to my house... how will they react if you are here? Especially Natsuki and Yuri?" I asked.

Monika tapped her chin in thought.

"Hmm... is there a back entrance or something? I could use that to fool them..."

I nodded.

"Yeah, there is a back entrance that leads to the backyard, to which you can leave."

I looked at her nervously.

"Can you jump over a fence?" I asked.

She snickered at me.

"Val, there's a reason why I am captain of the swimming team." Monika stated.

I was actually pleasantly surprised by this information.

"You are?"

She closed her eyes and nodded proudly, enjoying the skepticism.

"Mhm! I made sure that our team made it to the regional and we won!"

I stroked my chin at this new information.

"Oh, so that means that Yuri's in your team, right?"

She gave a affirmative.

"Yep, she's my right-hand girl. She told you?"

I raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah, but she never mentioned any information about you being the captain..."

Monika genuinely looked confused.

"That's strange, I need to show you my medals later, I guess. Anyway, don't worry, I can jump over a fence." She reassured.

With that, I led her to the backdoor and opened the door.

"Good luck, okay?"

She had a bittersweet smile and walked up to me.

"Val, can you promise me something?"

Monika took my hands into hers.

"Of course, what's wrong?"

We looked at each other, eye to eye.

And her eyes looked anxious and afraid.

"When we meet up over there, you and I aren't going to be a thing anymore. I... I just want you to remember that I am yours and always be yours. And that you won't be anyone else's."

I leaned in and gave her a kiss on the forehead.

"I know, I know. My heart will always be with yours. And no matter what I get forced into, at the back of mind will think you always."

Monika gave a warm smile and leaned into me.

We gave each other a sweet and tender kiss.

And then we separated.

"I'll try my best to do what I can." I stated, before going back to the house.

I turned around.

"Oh yeah." I started, to gain her attention once more.

She turned around with an attentive look.

"We are going to pick where left off so... we'll bang, okay?"

I saw her smile, with a hint of malice in it.

And so, I went back into the house and quickly changed my clothes for something more suitable for the beach.

It's going to be a while since I put that damn uniform on again.

I wore a white shirt with a generic white t-shirt underneath and blue shorts that came down to the knee.

I exited the bathroom to see my brother waiting for me.

"Bro!" He called, brightening up at the sight of me.

I also brightened up.

"What's up?"

"Can I go see Gabe and Jimmy again? It's been a while since I saw them." He requested.

I raised an eyebrow.

"Sure? You don't need to ask me this, Mike. They won't mind."

He smiled.

"Okay! But I am a bit scared from the girls that came here with them..."

With that, I ruffled his hair a bit and walked with him to the exit.

"Aw, don't worry about it. They are..."

I mentally sighed.

I hate myself whenever I say this...

We did so much together...

Damn it...

"Friends." I muttered weakly.

There was a tinge of strong guilt inside of me.

It tore me apart.

"But girl-friends? Ugh!"

We continued to make our way to exit.

He stopped me by tugging at me.

"Val, are you and Monika in a relationship?"

I nodded slowly, expecting him to chant annoyingly on how I got one.

"Oh... does that mean she's going to be my aunt?"

I sighed heavily.

"Mike! We went over this earlier! She's going to be your sister-in-law!"

My brother cringed.

"Does that mean she is going to my sister? Isn't that incest?"

I grew increasingly frustrated from my brother's naivete.

"You know what? Let's keep it at the fact that she's my girlfriend, alright? And also, don't bring this up to anyone, got it?"

My brother didn't really quite what I was getting at, but nodded.

"Okay, I won't tell anyone."

We finally made it to the exit.

Here goes...

Monika, you better be there...

I opened the door to see everyone outside, chatting with each other.

Monika was fortunately talking with Sayori, Yuri, and Natsuki.

Everyone was equipped with a backpack or knapsack for clothes, equipment, and needed, food and drinks.

Though, it seemed as if Jim brought a whole cooler box of soda.

I let out a relieved sigh, knowing that Monika made it without any difficulty.

"Heh-hey! If it isn't Val himself! What's up!" Tom greeted with his arm out.

I took his arm and gave him a one-armed hug.

"I'm fine."

Gabe and Jim gathered around.

I looked towards them.

"I know that I didn't go along with the plan, but I promise that I will get on tomorrow night." I quickly said.

Apparently, that eased them by a bit.

"Fair game... but, what did you do with Monika last night?" Gabe asked, with his arms crossed.

"I-I don't think it's best time to say it, I will tell what happened later. When we are all alone... But, the important thing is it all worked out in the end. And, look who came out to see you!" I distracted.

Behind me was Mike, hiding behind me since he was intimidated by the older people.

I gave him a little shove.

"Go say, hello!"

"Hi..." My brother awkwardly greeted.

"Oh hey, who's this fella?" Tom asked, crouching down to give him a high-five.

Despite my brother's apparent timidity, he gave him the high-five.

"This is my younger brother, Micheal." I introduced.

Gabe and Jim walked up to him.

"Hey Mike, it's nice to see you again." Jim courteously greeted.

Gabe was more upcoming with his care.

"Little man!" Gabe greeted.

In an instinct, my brother responded.

"Big man!"

They shared a laugh as they hugged.

"Hello, Valkyrie."

I immediately tensed up from that voice.

Yuri...

I turned around slowly.

"Hey, Yuri... good morning!" I awkwardly greeted.

Yuri was wearing a cream-white sweater with black yoga pants, despite the weather today.

"Good morning to you too. You're looking nice, today..." She greeted back, while keeping a good stare at my chest.

I felt someone tug me, to which was Mike.

"Um... Val, who's she?"

Yuri brightened immensely from the sight of my younger brother.

"Oh my... you are right, your brother does look like a younger you!" She said with an amazed look on her face.

She then looked at my brother, with a warm smile.

"Hello, little one. My name is Yuri, and I am a... friend of Valkyrie."

My brother smiled back while scratching his cheek.

"Hi, Yuri. My name is Micheal, and might I say it's weird to hear my brother's full first name like that..."

I didn't notice that what Micheal pointed out.

"Hey, Mike... you do have a point."

I looked up to her.

"How come you don't ever greet me by my nickname, ever?"

Yuri flustered by this somewhat, mostly because of how we were watching her.

"I-I don't use your full name because-"

She was cut off my cacophony of squeals.

"Awwww!"

I saw my brother getting swooped off the ground.

Both Natsuki and Sayori ran up to Mike and started to hold them in their arms.

Natsuki was wearing a white t-shirt with a pink skirt, while Sayori was wearing a red t-shirt and jean shorts.

"Val, you never told me you had a cute brother!" Natsuki said, hugging him in her arms.

"Yeah! He's soooo adorable! Who's a cute little boy? You are! Yes, you are!" Sayori also stated, being more open about her care, adopting a protective stance around him.

Meanwhile, my brother was terrified.

He had no idea what was going on.

"Val! Who are these girls?! Help!" He cried out.

His cry apparently made them squeal in joy again, crushing my brother in their hug.

Instinctively, my older brother traits kicked in and pulled him out of the duo.

They pouted when I ripped my brother out of their steel grips.

"Hey!" They yelled in sync, obviously unhappy with my action.

I looked down to my shaken brother.

"Are you okay?" I asked tenderly.

He gave a meek nod, before growing frustrated.

"I am almost 13, for God's sake! I hate this cute body! I wish I was big like you, bro!"

My little brother's outburst cause them to squeal again.

"Oh my gooosh! That's so cute! You heard that, you heard that, right Natsuki?!" Sayori squealed, jumping with Natsuki in joy.

Natsuki jumped in joy along with Sayori.

"That was so, so cute! I wish I could feed treats him, pet him, and hug him! All so I can watch him grow! Awww!"

I grew a bit protective over Natsuki's statement and I gave them both a glare.

"You two at least could him a proper introduction before doing all... that." I simply said, while glaring at them.

They then apparently saw the gravity of their actions.

"Oh... um..." Natsuki started.

"Aww! I am so sorry if we scared you! You were just so cute, that we couldn't hold it in! My name is Sayori!" Sayori chirped.

Sayori widened her arms for a hug.

Instead my brother just opted for a simple handshake, to which my Sayori reluctantly complied.

I looked over to Natsuki, hoping that she wouldn't struggle to apologize.

"Sorry for scaring you... Mike?"

He nodded.

"Yeah, sorry about that. Like what my friend, Sayori, said... we couldn't resist on how cute you were! And we both love cute things! My name is Natsuki, and it's a pleasure to meet you."

Mike gave them a suspicious look.

"It's nice to meet you too... uh. Okay... I forgive you both, but um... I am going inside." He quickly said, his mood now sullied by the assault.

He stepped into the house.

"Nice meeting you two, and Yuri. Bye..."

My brother then ran inside the house.

"I think we scared him a bit..." Natsuki muttered.

"Aw, he'll be fine. I think he likes us!" Sayori cheered.

I rolled my eyes.

"Anyway, let's get going. We shared the pleasantries long enough." I stated now opening the car door.

I heard Monika clear her throat.

"Val~! You're forgetting one thing!"

I looked over to with a raised eyebrow.

"What am I missing?" I questioned.

She smirked devilishly.

"Who's going to riding shotgun?" She asked.

"Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! I do! I do!" Sayori jumped.

"Sayori!" Tom reprimanded.

"What? I want to ride shotgun, though!" Sayori pouted.

Yuri stepped into the spotlight.

"Sorry, Sayori. I think Valkyrie would want me next to him. Isn't that right, Valkyrie?"

I shrugged, unsure.

"Well, I mean..."

Natsuki then stepped in.

"Wait! I want to ride shotgun! Besides, I think he would want me next to him!"

I winced a bit at her statement.

"Hold up!" Gabe called. "I think as Val's closest friends-"

They were cut off by a bunch of growling from the feminine side.

He cleared his throat.

"As Val's closest male friends, I think we deserve a chance at sitting with our boy!"

James nodded.

"Yeah, Val has known us for the longest, one of us deserve that spot!" He stated.

Monika stepped in confidently.

"Actually, I think I deserve the spot."

Everyone disagreed with the decision.

"Why's that?" Gabe inquired almost brusquely.

For fuck's sake!

I had to step in to protect Monika and our relationship together.

"Alright! Stop it, all of you!"

But I noticed that Tom hasn't said a word about this.

"Tom, what do you think?" I asked, looking towards him.

He gave a shrug.

"I don't really understand the point of sitting with you, besides isn't it driver's choice? You know, since you are driving us there?"

I nodded at what he was saying.

"He's got a point, I choose whoever sits with me because I am driving you all there! And why is this taking most of our time?"

Natsuki spoke up.

"Well, make a choice already!"

I pointed at each person.

"Fine. Let's see... eenie, meenie, minie, Tom." I chose without a care in the world.

This apparently surprised him.

"What?!" Everyone yelled.

The way they all synchronized almost caused my ear to ring.

"Yeah, you heard me, I want you shotgun. Let's go!" I said hurriedly, while getting into the car.

Without much to argue with, he got into the car with me.

I turned on the ignition, causing the car to roar to life.

I looked back to see mostly everyone grumbling at my choice.

Gabe and Jim were starting to relax since I didn't choose Monika or any of the girls, besides Sayori.

Natsuki, Yuri, Sayori, and Monika sat beside each other, grumpy about my choice.

However Sayori's still looked jubilant, and sat on the left end to have a good view of Tom at all times.

The order of which the other three sat was simple.

Monika sat on the right right end to have a good view of me at all times.

To Monika's right was Yuri, and to her left was Natsuki.

I couldn't help but notice the irritation in all their eyes.

Especially Monika's.

Gabe and Jim, apparently careless about my choice and moved on, sitting in the back end of the car.

I turned to my right to see Tom somewhat nervous on riding shotgun.

I gave him a playful punch to the shoulder.

"Hey, lighten up! You're going to see why people like riding shotgun."

He gave a nervous chuckle.

"I hope so, I haven't been up front in a while."

I then straightened all mirrors and gotten my seat-belt ready.

With a slow press and a gear shift, I started to drive into the road.

Finally.

Now we are on the road!

I looked back to see everyone chatting and slowly enjoying themselves.

The trio behind us was now letting loose and talking once more, apparently forgetting the gravity of my choice.

The duo in the back was laying back and relaxing.

I turned on the radio to see what kind of music was up.

Instead of music, it was just a talk show.

I kept switching through all the stations, to only find it with talk shows and news outlets.

I then turned it off.

"Wow... there's no music around here? That sucks." I bemoaned.

Monika snickered at me.

"Val, you aren't going to put EDM on, are you?"

I got offended from her statement.

"No! Gosh no! That's only for personal use. If it's a group, then some rock music or any songs with a sick guitar solo is an order." I defended.

"Wait, Val... you listen to EDM?" Natsuki asked.

I nodded.

"Yeah, I do... why?"

I saw her smile.

"Well, ever heard of nightcore?"

I knew exactly well what that was.

Personally, I dislike EDM tracks with vocals in it, as I thought it was best left to other genres.

And so, I didn't want to make Natsuki upset by saying that I didn't like it.

"I have heard of nightcore, but I prefer tracks with a good guitar and intense beat to it. Something you could work out to."

I shook my head to refocus.

"Anyway, I am still going to play some good old, rock and roll. Besides, it's driver's choice."

Natsuki mumbled something under breath, something concerning that she wanted to some nightcore.

"If I may, I actually like Goth and dark metal music." Yuri added.

I looked up the mirror.

"You really like the atmosphere of those types of music, huh, Yuri?"

She smiled.

"Yes! The eerie feel of each song sends tingles all over my skin!"

I chuckled at her enthusiastic sharing.

"What about you, Sayori? What kind of music do you like?" I asked, my eyes looking at her.

She tapped her chin in thought.

"Ummm... I'm into-"

"Boy bands and pop music." Tom said at the same time as Sayori.

He was mildly disappointed.

"Sayori really likes boy bands, man. She has a truck load of posters in her closet!" He stated.

"Heeey! That's mean for you say! What's your deal with boy bands, meanie?!"

I saw Tom shrug in the corner of my eye.

"I don't know, maybe it's the fact that you had so much that it literally exploded in your room! Guess who had to clean that up!"

Sayori shrunk from Tom's words.

"Well, in the bright side you know what boy bands I like, ehehe..."

I raised both my eyebrows in surprise.

"Wow... that's actually impressive. Having so many posters that it spilled into your room. If only if I was that dedicated..." I muttered.

Sayori brightened up from my words instead.

"At least someone appreciates my dedidations!"

"Dedication." Tom corrected.

"Right, dedication!" She pouted.

Tom sighed.

"Sayori, I don't have hatred for your choice of music or band, it's just that cleaning that up was such a chore. I will still love you for who you are, cinnamon bun."

There was indistinct "aww"s from all of the car.

"That was wholesome." Someone said in the back.

With everyone's spirits lifted from that little scene, I focused my questioning to Monika.

Everyone was chatting with each other, so the car grew a bit hectic with different conversations.

"Anyway, what's your choice of music, Mon?" I asked, smiling at her from the upper mirror.

I saw Monika smile back at me.

"I don't have a preference in music actually. I like the genre of pop, darling."

Uh oh...

Monika widened her eyes at her mishap.

"Darling?!" Natsuki and Yuri yelled.

I stepped in and ignored that last part.

"So we got nightcore, dark metal, boy bands and um...?"

They were all tense from Monika's mishap.

"Well, did you know that I like punk rock too, hunk?"

"Hunk?!" Monika and Yuri yelled.

Sayori caught onto what was happening.

Yuri was next to speak.

"Did you know that I like smooth jazz as well, my handsome prince?"

"Prince?!"

This whole ordeal was growing worse and worse by the minute.

Monika stepped in, not wanting to lose the exchange.

"You know what? I bet that you never knew that I was into rap music, did you beloved?"

As soon as they were going yell "beloved" I stepped in.

I was just about to say something, but Sayori stole the words out of me.

"Alright, that's enough from you three! We get it, you all have a varied choice in music! Each of your choice suits your beautiful personalities just fine! Thank you for all for sharing!" Sayori yelled.

They went silent from her outburst, but they all had a content smirk on their faces.

I sighed.

"Thank you, Sayori."

She smiled.

"You're welcome!"

I looked up to the mirror.

"Sayori has a point. It's nice to know that you all have a good taste in music. It really does go along with your complex personalities. You all are good girls."

They smiled from my kindness.

Gabe took the chance to say something to me.

"Hey, Val! Try checking through the cabinet, I'm pretty sure that your dad has some music in there!" He yelled.

The four hissed at his yell due to the fact he ruined the moment.

"Right! Got it!"

I looked towards Tom.

"Hey Tom, pop open the cabinet and see if there's any CD's and such."

Tom nodded and opened the cabinet.

He pulled out a CD that said, "Rock music".

I smirked at the sight of the simplistic and generic name, and my dad's straightforward nature.

"Is this it?" He asked.

I motioned him to put the disk in.

"Yeah, it is."

He then inserted it.

Immediately afterwards a song played out from the car's speakers.

The slow beat of the drums and guitar riffs meant it was most likely Ozzy Osbourne's Hellraiser.

And so, we quietly listened to the music with an occasional sing along from me and the boys.

Just as it should be.


AN: I think I held my promise over the fire, as I think this somewhat fills the prospect of the beach arc. It is a introduction, and I managed to fit most of the wanted scenes in here. Of course, with me fitting a lot of different scenes will leave room for error and improvement. I'm still learning the ropes, anyway.

The next chapter will be out Friday, as there is lots of scenes that I wanted to include and scenes that some of you guys want.

As of now there is going to be about 3 chapters, or maybe 4. But I know for certain, this fic is nearing it's end.

Because of this, there is going to be three endings to this story.

A "good", "bad" and a fan ending, or an interesting twist by you guys. Put your suggestion for a fan ending in your reviews, if you would like. From there, I will choose which one appeals to me the most.

With that out of the way, time for the reviews.

Remiboi, aye! You caught up! Time for me to respond!

The simulation finally breaking and how Val didn't realize it is because he has been so attuned to the simulation, that he doesn't even notice the rifts and changes as a result. To him, the perspective isn't changing, but as the readers you guys get to see that.

You caught onto the bold words, nice work! And yes, there is two versions of Frank, or rather it's Val and Frank. They are the same people, at this point Frank is a vessel of some sort for Val. More details on that later in the climax.

Can't say much, as it might give away too many of the things I want to include, lol. You're right and there is no errors, damn.

And yep, Monika was the focus of this story. And like I said before, I don't have a preference on who's best girl, so were it not for Monika's unique characteristic of being self-aware, this would have been a lot more different.

I would change back the tags, but my fic still includes some Yuri and Natsuki action. Can't mislead on it being only Monika fluff, hehe.

Unfortunately, I am most likely cutting off the double date, the work on Sunday, but the three endings are still on. Writing 300k words does a take toll on you.

Also, those suggestions are immensely helpful, as I am going to put them in for the beach.

Maybe, just maybe, I may do a little one-shot on that. But that depends on how I am feel on all this, unfortunately.

I appreciate the suggestions you gave me and the review. Thank you.

P.S: I read your other reviews, and I appreciate stating your thought process in all those chapters.

A. Grav, I'll be honest, I have never felt so... virtuous and happy, when I read your review.

It really means a lot to me when you make a person inspired again, especially if they found their passion a chore to them. I guess I serve to inspire.

You are right, I made this fic to tell a story, not to make a 5-star novel.

And this made me realize something. No one is perfect. Not only that, this is a fanfiction site, of course not everything is going to meet everyone's expectations!

Indeed, writing is something makes a part of you. You don't need it to make it perfect and like a book. Rather, it should be something that should be easy and fun to write, and something you enjoy. People who make it this far, sometimes lose sight on that.

You think it's cheesy, but I think the contrary. Your review made me very hopeful, and makes me want to pursue writing as a hobby. As you wrote, writing should always be something you want to tell, but not a masterpiece that everyone will love. It is something you will love and cherish.

Thank you for the kind words. It really brightened up my day.

Storm, Hmm... if you say so. I could've sworn you were gunning for Yuri lol.

Tsudzukete, Yeah, sorry about that the choice. The game was rigged from the start.

HidenMom, *HUUUUH* I could make a one-shot, but it all depends how I feel when I am done writing this fic. Don't worry, word count shouldn't make you worried, it won't impact me.

BroBroBroBroBro, Imma keep it real with you chief, I don't think I would do that. I am not the type of person to like foursomes, lol. A simple one-on-one is more my tastes, since it is more romantic and meaningful. Well, that's my opinion. Yes, sex.

Cynaotic, Aye. That is a relatable feeling, lol. It's a norm for this fic. I hope you enjoy this one though.

Superstar Saga, Let me start off my saying thanks for the review. This is a inspiring and motivating one.

Now, I never thought I contributed much to the fandom, but thottish versions of the girls is something that I wanted to include, since they have potential to be like that.

Yeah, the sudden choice will cause mayhem, bad mayhem, lol. But there is one thing for sure, is that they won't be depressed about the choice. Trust me, this is where the story will darker and broken.

Oh yeah, um... drugs? They are kind of underage to drink beer, but I will make a reference and bring in Yuri's idea of vodka. That could work, and intensify the darker aspect of this story.

I should include more scenes with Sayori and Tom, you're right.

Now, thanks for the suggestion for my next fic, if I do decide to pursue one. Might need to look into Huniepop, however.

Thanks again for the review.

That is all for reviews, I appreciate all the support that you all have been giving me. The review response will come out tomorrow.

Have a great afternoon.
