Chapter 74 - The Scream

That night, after lap pillowing, Bell and Ais got ready for bed. Bell went to shower, and when he was done, he heard a loud scream from Ais. Bell immediately wrapped the towel around himself, activated hati, argonaut was charging, and ran to protect Ais.

When he got to the room, Ais was apparently fine, but her face was all red and she was trembling.

Ais "Bell, you only have a towel around you"

Bell "You screamed, what happened"

Ais "..."

Bell "Are you ok?"

Ais could not answer and was really flushed.

Bell "What happened? Why are you all red and trembling"

Ais "I am not..."

Bell looked around and saw on the bed a opened book with gift wrap next to it.

Bell "Oh that was the gift from Riveria and Finn"

Ais "Dont mention that book, it is bad"

Bell "What?"

Bell go towards the book to take a look

Ais "Stop!"

Bell "What is going on"

Ais "Nooooo don't look at it"

Bell "Is it a grimmoire? You have a new spell?"

Ais "..."

Bell picked up the book and the book was called "The Birds and the Bees. A How To Book"

Ais screams "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Bell realized what had happened, but he could not control himself. He started laughing. That really flustered Ais who starting beating on Bell...

Bell "LOL LOL LOL Ou, ou, ouch, stop, stop, LOL LOL LOL"

As Ais was beating him, his towel fell off.

Ais "You beast, put clothes on"

Bell "LOL LOL LOL You have seen me in a towel before LOL LOL LOL"

Ais "That was before, you put clothes on NOW"

Bell "LOL LOL LOL come on, ok stop hitting me and I will put pajamas on"

Bell goes and put on pajamas, while Ais turned her face to avoid seeing his naked body. They then went to sleep without wrestling.

At the Loki home, a worried Riveria and Finn were talking.

Finn "I am not sure we did the right thing"

Riveria "Of course you did the right thing"

Finn "It was your idea"

Riveria "You agreed to it. We are like her parents. It was our responsibility to teach her about that."

Finn "Dont you think you should have had a mother to daughter talk then?"

Riveria "But I am a high elf, I cannot talk about things like that. You should have done it"

Finn "That is insane. It would be totally weird, you should have done it"

Riveria "That is impossible."

Finn "How do you think she took it"

Riveria "Well they have been together for months, it is probably nothing new to Ais..."

Finn "You are right, it is probably nothing to worry about"

Back in the Hestia home, Bell and Ais went to sleep. Ais turned towards the wall and had trouble falling sleep. Bell also could not sleep especially without wrestling. After an hour, Ais could not stand the silence any more.

Ais "The book, you know what is in it?"

Bell "Yes I took a quick look"

Ais "So you knew those things all along"

Bell "... ah yes..."

Ais "It looks very unnatural... and scary... and ..."

Bell "Well it is just nature"

Ais "Scary... omg..."

Bell "Ais are you ok?"

Ais while clutching to the extra sleep shirt that she put on "No"

Bell "Come on, it is just nature, you have seen animals do it"

Ais "I never thought about it that way"

Ais "... Bell, have you been thinking about that type of stuff..."

Bell "... well no ... but it is just natural ..."

Ais "OMG, you want to do that! "

Bell "... Ais, dont think about stuff like that. It is just Finn and Riveria trying to be your parent"

Ais "You think so?"

Bell "Think about it, they are like your adopted parents. They probably felt a responsibility. But it was awkward and embarrassing"

Ais "It sure is embarrassing"

Bell "Go to sleep"

Bell hugs her, which made her almost jump and she did not resist...

After another hour, both finally fell asleep.
