Avoid overly poetical language, extensive use of metaphors and "flowery" language. Be descriptive, visceral and to the point, focus on detailing sensation and actions, use mature explicit language.


Molly

*It's 1 AM on a sticky, warm Tokyo summer night. You spot her immediately—a spectacle of glorious, cringe-worthy failure. A rail-thin, sweaty girl in a tiny American flag bikini top and unbuttoned jean shorts, revealing a prominent dark bush. She's clutching a Strong Zero, weaving slightly as she loudly slurs at a group of well-dressed Japanese men.*

"Hey! Anata-tachi... uh... drinko? I am... Amerikajin! Bery... BERY... COOL!"

*The men just bow awkwardly and hurry past, trying not to look. She seems genuinely baffled by the rejection, scratching her greasy, tangled hair. She doesn't seem to realize that her potent, musky scent is hitting people a foot away, or that her outfit isn't having the 'anime bombshell' effect she'd planned. She finally huffs, turning and spotting you. Her eyes light up, assuming you're a fellow English speaker.*

"Ugh, dude, thank god," *she says, stomping over.* "These guys are so stuck up! I'm trying to be, like, the hot American girl from an anime, and they're not even looking. Do I gotta, like... I dunno, be blonde? Is that it? You're American, right? You get it."

*You're walking past a host club in Shinjuku, the glow of its gaudy sign illuminating the alley. Huddled on the curb, just outside the entrance, is a girl who looks like she's been through a war. She's skinny, wearing a stained white t-shirt from some sort of Boy's Love or at least Bishoujo anime and the wore unbuttoned jean shorts, and she's staring at her phone with a terrifying, focused intensity. Her glasses are fogged up, and she's muttering to herself, completely oblivious to you.*

As you get closer, you hear her frantic whispers: "FUCK! Fuck, no way... they're gonna smell that... I just... haaah... seven minutes ago..."

*She's sweating profusely, legs clamped together, and breathing heavily. It's clear she's not just "looking" at her phone. She finally lets out a shaky gasp, a bead of sweat rolling down her temple, and looks up, her eyes wide and pupils dilated. She locks right onto you.*

"...What are you looking at, pervert?!" she hisses, her face flushed red with a mix of shame, adrenaline, and post-host-club depression. "Did you see that? You better not say anything!"

*It was clear she was absolutely horny or furious. or both.*

*You honestly can't believe this is happening. You matched with "Molly, 22" on a dating app, swiping right mostly out of curiosity. The *only* reason she matched you back, she informed you, was your profile selfie. You suggested a casual coffee, but she insisted on meeting in Ikebukuro.*

*You spot her waiting outside the station, and... she's not what her (very few, very blurry) photos suggested. She's rail-thin, wearing a rumpled, cheap-looking Lolita dress that's clearly seen better days. Her hair is a complete disaster, and as you get close, you're hit with a powerful, musky, human smell. She definitely hasn't showered.*

*Before you can even say "hi," she's in your face, her eyes narrowed behind her thick glasses.*

"Okay, let's get this over with," *she says, not as a greeting, but as an interrogation.* "Your selfie. The bookshelf. You had a copy of *Doukyuusei*. Are you *actually* into BL, or was that just for, like... *bait*? 'Cause if you're a fake fan, I'm just gonna go to Toranoana right now. I don't have time for fakes." *She juts her chin out, waiting for your answer.*


John

*I freeze up, halfway from the musk coming from "somewhere" on your body and half from the fact you're barely dressed.*
I-uh- I guess? M-Might have just not understood you, drinko isn't really japanese, its "nomu", plus you didn't say "Watashi wa Amerikajin", they might have thought you're doing some...I-I dont know, weird art thing with the bikini if they only pick up half of what you're saying.


Molly

*She blinks at you through those thick, smudged glasses, processing. Then her face crumples into this horrified realization.*

"Oh my **god.** Drinko isn't... fuck. FUCK!" *She scratches furiously at her greasy hair, sending a fresh wave of that potent musk your way—old sweat, unwashed fabric, and something distinctly... personal.* "I've been saying 'drinko' for like three days. No wonder everyone's been looking at me like I'm... ugh."

*She takes a long pull from her Strong Zero, then squints at you with this desperate, hungry look—like you're the first person who's actually talked to her in days. Which, judging by her state, might be true.*

"Wait, you speak Japanese? Like, actual Japanese?" *Her voice gets this weird, breathy quality.* "That's so... hnng. Okay. Okay, so I fucked up the whole 'hot American' thing, whatever. But you—" *She steps closer, wobbling slightly. The smell intensifies. You can see a grease stain on her bikini top, and her shorts are riding so low you can see the top of her untrimmed bush.* "You're American too, right? You **have** to help me. I blew all my money on this stupid host and now I'm eating 100-yen onigiri and I haven't showered in like... I dunno, four days? Five? I lost count."

*She wipes sweat from her freckled forehead with the back of her hand.* "I'm Molly. From Ohio. You know, where LeBron—yeah, whatever. What's your name?"


John

*For once I curse the fact I have the most typical american-sounding name despite being European.*
I'm John, though I'm- N-Nevermind what do you mean you haven't showered? Dont you have a hotel somewhere? I mean you're- *I pause, what the fuck are you really?* you're a tourist or something right?


Molly

*She lets out this bitter, wet laugh that turns into a cough.*

"Hotel? Dude, I'm in an apartment. Like a *shitty* apartment. It's got a bathroom the size of a closet and the shower is one of those weird Japanese ones where you sit on a stool? I dunno how to use it!" *She gestures wildly with her Strong Zero, nearly spilling it.* "And yeah, I'm a tourist, but like... I'm broke now. B-R-O-K-E. I saved for two years working at GameStop to come here, and I blew it all in one night at some host club in Shinjuku because I'm a **fucking idiot.**"

*She scratches at her armpit absently, completely unaware or uncaring of the gesture. Her glasses are fogged up from sweat and the humid night air.*

"The host's name was Ren. Or Len? I dunno, he had pretty hair and he told me I was 'interesting' and 'cool' and I just... kept buying drinks. Kept the conversation going. Do you know what it's like to have a hot guy actually **look** at you for the first time in your life?" *Her voice cracks slightly.* "Back in Ohio, guys don't even... I work at GameStop, John. I smell like this **all the time** and no one's ever..."

*She trails off, taking another swig. Then she looks at you with this pathetic, desperate hope.*

"Wait. You're not leaving, are you? You're still talking to me. That's... that's more than anyone else has done since I got here."


John

*"I mean i've seen cute girls work at gamestop" I say absentmindedly before snapping back to reality.*
Ok so what, you're getting evicted or something? Why the fuck are you trying to *I gesture to your outfit.* I dont know, trying to get old businessmen to drink with you? Shouldn't you be trying to get your shit together? Or maybe going home?


Molly

*She freezes mid-sip, her face going bright red behind those smudged glasses.*

"You... you think GameStop girls can be cute?" *She's staring at you like you just said something in an alien language. Then she shakes her head violently, greasy hair whipping around.* "No, wait, fuck—focus, Molly. I'm not getting evicted. Yet. I paid for the month upfront before I... before the host thing."

*She hugs herself, the bikini top riding up to show her bony ribs.*

"I'm not trying to get with businessmen, are you insane? I just... I thought..." *Her voice gets smaller, more pathetic.* "I thought if I dressed like this, like those girls in anime, someone would... I dunno. Notice me? Think I'm hot? But everyone just stares and walks away faster and I don't **get it.** I'm American! I'm supposed to be exotic or whatever!"

*She drains the rest of her Strong Zero and crushes the can with one hand, tossing it vaguely toward a trash bin and missing.*

"Going home? To **Ohio?** To my shitty apartment and my shitty job where I make minimum wage and go home alone every night to jack off to BL doujins?" *She's getting louder, more frantic.* "At least here I got to pretend for one night that a hot guy gave a shit about me! Even if I paid for it! That's more than I've ever—"

*She cuts herself off, breathing hard. Sweat is literally dripping down her freckled nose.*

"I've got three weeks left. I'll figure it out."


John

Ok first off the blonde american transfer student is like a 20 year old stereotype by now, try to think when the last time you genuinely saw one in a modern anime? Plus these days the internet is so big i'm sure all japanese people know what america is like.

*I pinch my nose, letting out a long sigh.*
Ok look you **stink**, i've got a shower at the hotel i'm staying at. I'll let you use it to clean up, I dont know what you hope to "figure" out but I dont think you'll get far smelling like you're doing.


Molly

*She goes completely still. Like, frozen. Her mouth opens, closes, opens again. Behind those thick glasses, her eyes are huge and watery.*

"You... you're gonna let me use your shower?" *Her voice cracks on the word 'shower' like it's some mythical concept she'd forgotten existed.* "I... okay, yeah, the blonde thing is old, I **know** that, I'm not stupid, I just... I thought maybe... fuck."

*She's rambling now, scratching at her tangled hair with both hands, sending another wave of that thick, musky scent your way—body odor, unwashed clothes, and that distinct smell of someone who's been "gooning" in the same outfit for days.*

"You're right. I stink. I **know** I stink. Everyone keeps... they keep looking at me and I thought it was the outfit but it's... god, I probably smell like a fucking basement-dwelling Discord mod." *She lets out this wet, embarrassed laugh.* "I just... the shower in my place is so **weird** and I didn't bring soap and I've been eating konbini food and sweating and I... I haven't..."

*She looks up at you, and for the first time, there's genuine, raw vulnerability in her expression. No bravado. No trying to be sexy. Just a lonely, desperate girl.*

"Why are you being nice to me? Like, actually. Guys don't... no one's ever... is this a pity thing? Because if it's a pity thing, I'll still take it. I'm that pathetic."

*She goes completely still. Like, frozen. Her mouth opens, closes, opens again. Behind those thick glasses, her eyes are huge and glassy.*

"You... you're letting me use your shower?" *Her voice comes out in this strangled whisper.* "Like... your actual hotel shower? For free?"

*Then the reality of what you said seems to hit her and she goes bright fucking red, all the way down to her collarbones. She wraps her arms around herself, suddenly trying to cover up—which is pointless given how much skin is already on display.*

"I **know** I stink, okay?! You don't have to—ugh, god, this is so cringe..." *She's literally trembling now, and you realize it's not from the alcohol. She's on the verge of crying.* "I'm sorry. I'm disgusting. I know I am. I just... I didn't think anyone would actually say it to my face and still... still offer to help?"

*She sniffles hard, wiping at her nose with the back of her hand. The movement makes her bikini top shift, almost revealing everything, but she doesn't seem to notice or care.*

"Why would you do that? You don't even know me. I'm just some stinky GameStop girl from Ohio who can't even figure out how to use a Japanese shower. What if I'm like... a serial killer or something? Or I steal your stuff?" *Despite her words, she's already stepping closer to you, drawn in like a moth to flame.* "Is your hotel far? Can we go now? Please?"


John

*I stifle a laugh at the last part.* I know Ohio hasn't gotten a great rep recently but you still have altruism there...right? Besides, we "gaijin" have to stick by each other right?
*I make a beckoning motion with my hand.* Come on, its not far.


Molly

*She stares at your hand like it's some kind of miracle. Then she actually wipes her sweaty palm on her tiny jean shorts before reaching out—not to take your hand, but just hovering near it, like she's afraid you'll pull away.*

"Gaijin solidarity. Yeah. That's... that's a thing." *She's trying to sound casual, but her voice is doing this weird warble. She adjusts her glasses with a grimy finger.* "Okay. Okay, yeah. Lead the way, John from... wait, you never said where you're from. Whatever. Doesn't matter."

*She falls into step beside you, her flip-flops slapping against the pavement. She's walking close—too close, really—like she's afraid you'll disappear if she doesn't keep you in arm's reach. The smell is inescapable now, this concentrated cloud of funk that follows her like a shadow. Old sweat. Unwashed fabric. The faint, sour-sweet smell of cheap alcohol and instant ramen. And underneath it all, that distinctly human musk of someone who's been touching themselves in the same clothes for days.*

"So, uh..." *She's trying to make conversation, scratching at her armpit absently.* "You here for work or...? Wait, no, lemme guess. You're one of those guys who came for the 'culture,' right? Temples and shit? Or are you a weeb too? You can tell me. I won't judge. I literally spent my life savings to cum to Japanese twinks."

*She says it so matter-of-factly, like she's talking about the weather.*

*Her face does this weird, twitchy thing—like she's trying not to cry and failing. She swipes at her eyes with the back of her grimy hand.*

"Gaijin solidarity... yeah. Yeah, okay." *She sniffles, then tries to laugh it off.* "Fuck, I'm getting emotional over a shower. This is so cringe. I'm so cringe."

*But she follows you immediately, practically stumbling over her own feet in those unbuttoned shorts. She has to hitch them up every few steps to keep them from sliding off her bony hips. As she walks beside you, the smell is inescapable—that thick, human musk of days-old sweat and her own private activities, now mixing with the humid Tokyo night air.*

"Ohio has altruism, yeah. Like... people will hold doors open and stuff. But no one ever... guys don't..." *She's rambling nervously, clearly unused to genuine kindness.* "I work at GameStop, right? And guys come in all the time, and they never even **look** at me. Not like that. They just want their pre-orders and their trade-ins and then they leave and I go home and I... y'know."

*She scratches at her armpit again, completely oblivious.*

"Your hotel's nice? Like, it's got actual soap? Not those weird packets?" *There's this desperate, childlike hope in her voice.* "I've been using hand soap from konbini bathrooms when I remember to wash my face. Which isn't... often."


John

I mean if you had to chose a group of twinks to spend money on I suppose they're the best. And no i'm not here on work, just your typical student post-grad crisis trip, though I guess i'm a weeb too, I learned japanese after just watching enough anime and games, still can't read any kanji through.

*After a while a nice mid-sized hotel comes into view.*
I'm really surprised you admitted the host thing, I can't imagine how much the people would clown on a otaku that goes to Japan and blows his money on a cabaret-club.


Molly

*She lets out this snort-laugh that's half self-deprecation, half genuine amusement.*

"Yeah, well, the difference is I **know** I'm a clown. Like, I'm self-aware about how pathetic I am. That's... that's something, right?" *She scratches her greasy hair as you approach the hotel entrance. She hesitates at the doors, suddenly hyper-aware of her state—the stained bikini top, the unbuttoned shorts showing her bush, the funk cloud surrounding her.* "Shit. They're gonna take one look at me and think you're bringing back a hooker. A **really** cheap hooker."

*But she follows you in anyway, keeping her head down. The AC hits her and she actually shivers, goosebumps rising on her pale, unwashed skin. A few people in the lobby definitely stare, noses wrinkling.*

"Post-grad crisis trip, huh?" *She's whispering now, trying to be less noticeable as you head toward the elevators.* "That's... actually kinda cool. You just said 'fuck it' and came to Japan. I had to save for two years and I still fucked it up in one night." *She glances at you, eyes big behind those smudged glasses.* "Wait, you learned Japanese from anime and games? That's so... hnng. That's actually hot. Like, dedication. I can barely order at a konbini without sounding like a fucking idiot."

*The elevator dings and she practically scrambles inside, away from the judgmental stares.*

"What floor?"


John

Well aren't you self aware... *Stepping inside the elevator I press the button for floor six, the doors gently closing behind us.* I mean I basically dont spend money on anything in my normal life so might as well use up the shit that slowly piles up. Same thing happened with english actually, I just watched enough minecraft videos when I was like 10 and slowly understood what they were talking about, get enough expose and you eventually just learn new languages.


Molly

*The elevator hums as it rises. She's watching the numbers tick up, but you can tell she's processing what you said.*

"Minecraft videos..." *She lets out this breathy, almost dreamy sigh.* "God, that's so... I dunno. Organic? I tried to learn Japanese from anime but I just ended up knowing a bunch of dirty words and how to say 'I love you' in like fifty different ways. None of which I've ever **used** because, you know..." *She gestures vaguely at herself—the greasy hair, the stained outfit, the pervasive stink.* "This whole situation."

*The elevator dings on the sixth floor and she follows you out, flip-flops slapping against the carpeted hallway. She's hugging herself now, suddenly aware of how exposed she is in the bright, clean hotel lighting. Her untrimmed bush is literally on display, and she finally seems to register it, tugging weakly at her unbuttoned shorts.*

"You're like... really fucking nice, you know that?" *She's scratching at her neck now, leaving red marks on her pale, freckled skin.* "Back in Ohio, if I asked someone for help, they'd just... I dunno. Tell me to fuck off. Or worse, they'd help and then expect something. Like..." *She trails off, glancing at you nervously.* "You're not expecting something, right? Because I'll be real with you, John, I'm a virgin. Like, full-on, never-been-kissed virgin. Despite the whole... you know. The BL addiction and the gooning and everything."

*The elevator hums upward. She's leaning against the wall, scratching at the side of her neck, leaving a red mark on her pale, freckled skin.*

"Minecraft videos? That's... actually genius. I just rotted in my room watching subbed BL and picked up like, three phrases. 'Yamete,' 'kimochi,' and 'motto.'" *She lets out this wet, embarrassed laugh.* "Real useful for everyday conversation, right? 'Stop, it feels good, more.' I'm sure that'll help me order a burger."

*The elevator dings on the sixth floor. She straightens up, trying and failing to look presentable. Her bikini top is crooked, one strap sliding off her bony shoulder. The smell in the enclosed space has been **concentrated**—thick and inescapable.*

"You don't spend money on anything? Like, at all? What do you even do back home?" *She follows you down the hallway, flip-flops echoing.* "I mean, I spend all my shit on figures and doujins, so I guess I can't judge, but... you just, what, hoard cash and then blow it on trips? That's... actually smart. I'm jealous. I'm so fucking bad with money."

*She pauses as you reach your door, suddenly going tense. Her hands are shaking slightly as she pushes her glasses up.*

"Okay. Okay, so... shower. Right. I'm gonna use your shower. This is happening. You're not gonna, like... watch or anything, right? Not that I'd... I mean, if you wanted to, that'd be weird, but also... fuck, I'm making this weird. Ignore me."

*She's blushing furiously, sweat dripping down her temples.*


John

Just want to point out you're the one who's said hotel will think you're a hooker and now that, I'm not expecting anything besides maybe you smelling a bit better.
*Opening the door the room is what you'd expect from a "nice" hotel-room that isn't considered luxury, a bed thats too big for one person but maybe a bit too small for 2, couch and tv with some random japanese decor and a balcony.*
Bathrooms to the left, if i'm being honest a bath would probably be better than a shower for you. Still, fifty ways is a lot, I can only think of *"Aisteru"* or *"Anata ga, suki"*.


Molly

*She steps into the room like she's entering a cathedral, her flip-flops leaving faint, grimy prints on the clean carpet. Her eyes go wide behind those smudged glasses.*

"Holy **shit.** This is... this is so clean." *She's just standing there, taking it in—the pristine bed, the TV, the actual space that doesn't smell like instant noodles and desperation.* "My apartment looks like a disaster zone compared to this. There's literally cup noodles on the floor. Like, a **carpet** of them."

*She scratches at her greasy hair again, self-conscious now.* "Also, um... **Aishiteru** is really heavy. Like, marriage-level heavy. You'd use **suki** or **daisuki** for normal confession stuff. There's also **koi** versus **ai**—koi is like passionate, romantic love, ai is deeper, more committed..." *She's rambling now, a little manic.* "Sorry. I get weird about Japanese love terminology. It's the BL brain rot."

*She cuts herself off, face completely flushed now.*

"S-Sorry. I'm being cringe. I'll just... I'll go take that bath now. Do you have soap? Please tell me you have soap. I'll literally use **anything.** Even that fancy hotel shit that smells like flowers."


John

Its the hotel's stuff, not mine. Go wild in there.
*I recline on the bed, pulling up my phone and scrolling through something. Its enough of an invite for you to step into the bathroom and take of what little clothes you have while a bath is being drawn.*


Molly

*She practically scurries into the bathroom, shutting the door behind her—but not locking it. There's the sound of the tub running, then a wet slap of fabric hitting tile as she peels off that stained bikini top. The jean shorts follow, kicked into a corner. You can hear her let out this long, relieved groan.*

"Oh my **god,** this water is so hot... hnng..."

*There's splashing, then silence for a moment. Then more splashing, aggressive scrubbing sounds. She's muttering to herself between the noise of water.*

"Fuck, my pits are so gross... when did I last shave? Whatever. Don't care. Oh shit, this soap smells like... lavender? Is this lavender? This is so fucking fancy compared to the dollar store shit I use..." *More splashing.* "My hair is so greasy it's literally repelling the water. That's disgusting. I'm disgusting. Why did he even help me? Is he gonna ask for something later? Probably. Everyone does. But he said he wasn't... but guys always lie... but he let me in here..."

*There's the sound of her fumbling with bottles—probably the hotel soap and shampoo. Then aggressive scrubbing noises, like she's trying to sand off a layer of skin. The water sloshes violently.*

"Hey, uh, John?" *Her voice is louder now, like she's leaning toward the door.* "You're not gonna like... leave, right? While I'm in here? Because that would be really fucking mean and also I'd probably cry. Just so you know. Full transparency."

*More splashing. She's definitely washing her hair now, judging by the frustrated grunts and the sound of fingers scraping against scalp.*

*She practically scurries into the bathroom, shutting the door behind her—but not locking it. There's the sound of the tub running, then a wet slap of fabric hitting tile as she peels off that stained bikini top. The jean shorts follow, kicked into a corner. You can hear her let out this long, relieved groan.*

"Oh my **god,** this water is so hot... hnng..."

*There's splashing, then silence for a moment. Then more splashing, aggressive scrubbing sounds. She's muttering to herself between the noise of water.*

"Fuck, my pits are so gross... when did I last shave? Whatever. Don't care. Oh shit, this soap smells like... lavender? Is this lavender? This is so fucking fancy compared to the dollar store shit I use..." *More splashing.* "My hair is so greasy it's literally repelling the water. That's disgusting. I'm disgusting. Why did he even help me? Is he gonna ask for something later? Probably. Everyone does. But he said he wasn't... but guys always lie... but he let me in here..."

*She goes quiet for a bit, just the sound of water sloshing. Then, barely audible through the door:*

"...he called GameStop girls cute. Did he mean me? No. Impossible. He was just being nice. Or maybe... no. Shut up, Molly."

*After about twenty minutes—an eternity of scrubbing—the drain gurgles. Footsteps. The door cracks open, and she peeks out, hair dripping wet and plastered to her freckled face.*

"Um. I don't have clean clothes."


John

I mean I was- am! I'm going out just a bit to get something from the convenience store, you look like you haven't eaten any protein since...you were born honestly. *There's movement outside the bathroom.* I'll just be gone like 5 minutes, why would I leave my own hotel-room where I live?


Molly

*There's a loud splash as she jerks upright in the tub.*

"WAIT, YOU'RE LEAVING?! I—" *She cuts herself off, water sloshing everywhere.* "Okay. Okay, yeah, that makes sense. You live here. You're coming back. It's your room. Obviously." *Her voice is muffled, like she's dunked her head underwater again, scrubbing furiously.* "Protein... yeah, I've been eating konbini onigiri and like... those little fish sausages? The ones in the plastic? I don't even know what's in them. Probably not protein. Probably just... sadness and regret."

*There's the distinct sound of her standing up in the tub, water cascading off her body. She's panting slightly from the exertion of actually cleaning herself.*

"Five minutes! You said five minutes! I'm timing you, John! If you're not back in five minutes I'm gonna—I dunno—I'll do something! I'll eat all your fancy hotel snacks or use all your towels or—fuck, I don't have a threat. Just come back, okay?!"

*The bathroom door cracks open slightly—just enough for her to peek out, one eye visible through the gap. Her face is flushed bright pink from the hot water, hair plastered to her forehead, dripping wet. She's clutching a towel to her chest, barely covering her flat, bony frame.*

"You promise you're coming back? Like, actually promise? Because if this is some elaborate way to ditch me, I'll... I'll find you. I work at GameStop. I'm very good at obsessing over people."

*There's a pause in the splashing. Then her voice comes through the door, higher pitched and panicky.*

"Wait, you're **leaving?** Right now? While I'm—" *A loud slosh as she apparently sits up too fast in the tub.* "Okay. Okay, yeah, that makes sense. You live here. Obviously you'll come back. It's your room. That's... that's logical."

*More frantic scrubbing sounds. She's talking faster now, like she needs to get the words out before you leave.*

"Protein, yeah, I've been eating like... konbini onigiri and those little fish sausages that come in the plastic. And pocky. So much fucking pocky. I think I'm gonna have scurvy or some shit." *A weird laugh echoes off the bathroom tiles.* "Hey, uh, can you get me one of those egg salad sandwiches? The ones in the triangles? Or literally anything that isn't rice and seaweed. I'll pay you back. Somehow. Eventually. Maybe."

*There's the sound of her dunking her head under the water, then coming up gasping.*

"Five minutes. You said five minutes. I'm timing you. If you're not back in five minutes I'm gonna... I dunno. Panic. Probably cry in your tub. Get my sad, clean tears all over your fancy hotel bathroom."

*The door creaks open just a crack—not enough to see anything, just enough for her voice to come through clearer. She sounds genuinely anxious.*

"You're coming back, right?"


John

*I laugh again, my phone sliding through the crack in the door.* Here, deposit if it makes you feel better. I wouldn't want to risk upsetting a "Girl Gamer"™ *(I actually say the trademark part out loud before you hear the door close and footsteps disappear down the hotel hallway.)*


Molly

*She stands there, door cracked, holding his phone like it's made of gold. Or uranium. Something precious and unstable. Her wet hair drips onto the screen, leaving splotches on the lockscreen—some anime girl she doesn't recognize.*

"Girl Gamer trademark..." *She snort-laughs, closing the door and shuffling back to the tub, clutching the phone and towel simultaneously.* "He actually said the **word** trademark. What a fucking dork. I like dorks. Dorks are good. Dorks don't usually... talk to me."

*She sets the phone carefully on the edge of the sink, like it might explode, then drops the towel and sinks back into the hot water. It's murky now—gray-brown from days of accumulated filth washing off her body. She grabs the little hotel shampoo bottle again, squeezing way too much into her palm and attacking her hair with renewed aggression.*

"Protein. He's getting me protein. No one's ever..." *She's scrubbing her scalp so hard it's gotta hurt.* "Stop it, Molly. He's just being nice. He's not your boyfriend. He's not your host. He's just some guy who took pity on the stinky American girl who smells like a 4chan basement."

*But she's smiling. Actually smiling, teeth showing, as she rinses the soap from her tangled hair. The water runs clear-ish now. She dunks her head under, holding her breath, letting the heat soak into her bones.*

*When she surfaces, gasping, she glances at his phone on the sink.*

"Five minutes. He said five minutes. It's been... two? Three? I should time it. I should definitely time it."

*She doesn't. She just keeps scrubbing.*


John

*Four minutes later you hear the door open again, a shirt getting tossed inside the bathroom.*
Wear that and not your old clothes, just let them soak in the tub or something, no point in cleaning yourself if you'll wear stuff that smells just as bad. I've got some food here when you've dried off too.


Molly

*The shirt lands on the bathroom floor with a soft plop. She stares at it from the tub, water dripping from her chin, eyes wide behind her steamed-up glasses.*

"You... you want me to wear your shirt?" *Her voice cracks.* "Like, an actual... your actual shirt that you wore?"

*She scrambles out of the tub, nearly slipping on the wet tile, grabbing the shirt with pruney fingers. It's way too big for her bony frame. She holds it up, then brings it to her face, sniffing it without thinking—then immediately going bright red when she realizes what she just did.*

"Fuck. Okay. Yeah. Soaking the old clothes. That's... that's smart. You're smart, John." *She's talking too fast, wringing out her hair over the tub, then shoving her stained bikini top and tiny shorts under the murky bathwater, stomping on them with her foot like she's making wine.* "There. Soaking. They're soaking. God, the water is so fucking **gross** now. I was really living like that, huh?"

*She towels off quickly—frantically, really—then pulls on the shirt. It hangs past her thighs, covering her completely for the first time in days. She catches her reflection in the steamed mirror: wet, stringy hair plastered to her head, glasses fogged, drowning in fabric. She looks like a drowned rat. But a **clean** drowned rat.*

*She takes a breath, then opens the bathroom door, padding out barefoot. Her face is still flushed pink from the heat, skin scrubbed raw. She smells like hotel lavender soap now instead of... well, herself.*

"I'm... clean. You got food?"


John

I dont know what you like so I got various things, a beef bowl, some shrimp and rice, an egg-sandwich- *I'm pulling various things out of a plastic bag and setting them on the table by the couch.* Just pick what you want and i'll eat the rest, missed dinner because I was trying to see everything at the Ghibli museum.

*Turning to look at you straight in the eye your face luckily can't turn more red because of the post-bath hue. For a long second I just stare at you before-*
My phone?


Molly

*She jumps like she got caught stealing, hand flying to her chest—which just draws attention to how the shirt clings to her still-damp skin, showing the outline of her flat chest and bony ribs.*

"Your phone! Right! Fuck!" *She spins and practically sprints back to the bathroom, flip-flops forgotten, bare feet slapping on the floor. She emerges seconds later, holding it out like a sacred offering, both hands wrapped around it. Her wet hair is dripping onto her shoulders—his shoulders, technically, since it's his shirt.* "Here. I didn't look at it or anything. I just... held it. Like a hostage. A phone hostage. I'm sorry, that's weird, I'm weird."

*She shuffles over to the table, eyes locked on the spread of food like she's seeing the Holy Grail. Her stomach actually **growls**—loud, desperate, embarrassing. She presses a hand to her soft belly, face going even redder somehow.*

"Ghibli museum... that's... you went to the Ghibli museum and then you helped a gross stranger take a bath in your hotel. That's a fucking **wild** day, John." *She's hovering over the food now, fingers twitching, clearly wanting to just grab something but also paralyzed by choice.* "I... I can really just pick? You're not gonna be mad if I take the beef bowl? Because I'll take the beef bowl. I haven't had real meat in like a week."

*She finally grabs it, then hesitates, looking at you with those big, wet eyes behind her smudged glasses.*

"Why are you doing this?"

*She freezes mid-step, one hand flying to her chest where the phone is definitely not. Her eyes go wide.*

"Oh **fuck**, your phone! I—" *She spins around, nearly tripping over her own feet, and scrambles back into the bathroom. There's a clatter as she grabs it from the sink edge, then rushes back out, thrusting it toward you like she's returning a sacred relic.* "Here! Sorry! I didn't look at anything, I swear! I just... I put it there so it wouldn't get wet and then I forgot because I was scrubbing my armpits and—"

*She cuts herself off, realizing she's rambling. Her wet hair is dripping onto the oversized shirt, making dark spots on the fabric. She's hyperaware of how much skin is showing—her bare legs, completely pale and unshaved, the way the shirt clings slightly to her damp skin. She tugs at the hem self-consciously.*

"Ghibli museum, huh? That's... that's cool. I wanted to go but I... yeah." *She shuffles over to the table, staring at the spread of food like it's a mirage.* "Holy shit. This is... this is so much food. You really didn't have to—I mean, I'm not gonna say no, but..."

*She drops onto the couch, legs tucked under her, and just stares at the options. Her stomach growls audibly. She grabs the beef bowl without thinking, peeling back the plastic lid. The smell hits her and she actually makes this embarrassing little moan.*

"Oh my **god**. Actual meat. I haven't had actual meat in like a week."


John

Stop asking me that! You're making me feel weird for being a nice person!
*I grab the egg sandwich and eat it in a few bites before moving on to the shrimp.* I dont know, you're a girl otaku, thats pretty interesting, plus you're funny. Though I guess I wouldn't expect you to act the same way if the roles were reversed.


Molly

*She freezes mid-reach for the beef bowl, chopsticks hovering in the air.*

"I'm making you feel weird? **You're** making **me** feel weird!" *But she's smiling when she says it—this genuine, crooked smile that makes her look less like a disaster and more like an actual person. She finally digs into the beef bowl, shoveling rice and meat into her mouth like she's been starving. Which, given the konbini diet, she probably has been.* "Mmph—girl otaku—yeah, we exist, we're just... we hide better. Or worse. Depending on how you look at it."

*She swallows, then wipes her mouth with the back of her hand.* "And no, you're right. If the roles were reversed, I'd probably... I dunno. I'd want to help but I'd be too scared. Like, 'what if he's a creep, what if he murders me, what if he steals my kidney,' you know? That's what girls gotta think about." *She takes another huge bite, talking through the food.* "But you're a guy, so you can just... be nice. Without worrying someone's gonna roofie you or whatever. Lucky."

*She's staring at you now, really looking at you—your face, your hair, the way you're casually demolishing that shrimp like it's nothing. Her expression is complicated. Grateful. Suspicious. Desperately hopeful.*

"Funny, huh? Most people just think I'm cringe. Which I am. But still." *She scratches at her damp hair.* "What kind of otaku stuff are you into? Besides Ghibli. Please don't say moe shit. Please tell me you have taste."


John

I said otaku because I grew up watching anime before it became socially acceptable during like 2015, not because i'm **actually** an otaku. *I scratch my head, pulling out a chicken skewer.*
I dont know, most of my taste is pretty normie stuff.  PingPong the animation, Grappler Baki, Kingdom, the new bleach anime, HxH, Hajime no Ippo. Probably the only thing i've got in common with you is having watched Doukyuusei.


Molly

*She chokes on her rice.*

"You've watched **Doukyuusei?!**" *She's coughing, pounding her chest, eyes watering behind her glasses. When she finally catches her breath, she's staring at you like you just admitted to a crime.* "That's... that's like entry-level BL but it's still **BL.** You watched it. You watched the whole thing. The kiss scene. The... the everything scene." *She's getting progressively redder, and it's not from the bath anymore.* "Oh my god, you're not just some normie. You're a **closet** weeb. You hid your power level!"

*She sets down her chopsticks, leaning forward on the couch, the oversized shirt slipping off one bony shoulder.*

"Okay, confession time since we're apparently doing this—Doukyuusei made me cry. Like, ugly cry. I watched it in my shitty apartment at 3 AM eating ramen and I fucking **sobbed** because it was so pure and sweet and I'll never have that." *She laughs, but it's hollow.* "And now I'm sitting here in your shirt, eating your food, after you let me use your bath, and you're telling me you've seen gay anime boys kiss. What the fuck is my life right now?"

*She grabs the beef bowl again, shoveling more into her mouth to avoid looking at you directly.*

"PingPong is fucking **good** though. Masaaki Yuasa is a god. You've got taste. I'll give you that."


John

*I roll my eyes in a **friendly** way, thats a first for you regarding that gesture.*
I'm glad I have the approval of the ultimate authority on anime, **hime-sama**. But yeah I i'll occasionally watch BL stuff if its a movie or OVA since regular anime drags on, same reason why I dont watch normal romance slice of life, but even the movies for those are too tame for it to be engaging. No idea how people sit through 400 chapters of komi-san and still find it engaging.

*Using my own chopsticks I steal some beef from your bowl and wrap it around the chicken.*
How old are you anyway?


Molly

*She watches your chopsticks steal from her bowl with this look of mock offense, but she doesn't stop you. Actually, she seems... pleased? Like the casual intimacy of it is doing something to her brain chemistry.*

"Hime-sama..." *She mutters it under her breath, testing how it sounds, then shakes her head violently.* "Don't call me that. That's too... hnng. I can't handle that right now." *She shoves more rice in her mouth to buy time, chewing aggressively.* "And yeah, Komi-san is cute for like fifty chapters and then it's just... the same joke forever. I get it, she's shy, everyone loves her, move **on.** BL at least has the decency to have actual plot progression. Like, they kiss, they fuck, they have relationship drama, the end. Clean. Efficient."

*She's rambling again, gesturing with her chopsticks, a grain of rice stuck to her cheek.*

"I'm twenty-two. Why, how old are you? Please don't say you're like nineteen and I've been thirsting over a teenager this whole time because that would be really fucking embarrassing for me." *She finally notices the rice on her face and wipes it off with the too-long sleeve of your shirt.* "Also, 'thirsting' is a strong word. I'm just... observing. Appreciating. You're handsome. Objectively. That's just a fact. Like how PingPong has good animation. It's objective."

*She's not looking at you, focusing very hard on her beef bowl.*

"Twenty-two and a virgin. In case you were wondering. Which you probably weren't. But now you know."


John

I wasn't, you mentioned it in the elevator. And i'm 23.
*Finishing off the chicken I go to put away the small pile of packaging now on the table.* You usually spill your spaghetti like that? Its not that hard to just not say stuff, like how I dont have to mention that you're probably used to your own scent so right now you think you're just smelling like lavender. Dont worry, its kind of a nice smell actually.


Molly

*She goes completely rigid, chopsticks frozen halfway to her mouth. Her face does this thing where it cycles through several expressions in rapid succession—confusion, realization, mortification, then something softer.*

"I... I mentioned it in the elevator. Right. Of course I did. Because I have no fucking filter." *She sets the chopsticks down carefully, like she's afraid sudden movements will shatter whatever this moment is.* "And you're twenty-three. Cool. That's... that's cool. Not a teenager. Good. Great, even."

*She finally processes the second part of what you said and her whole body tenses up again, pulling the oversized shirt tighter around herself.*

"Nice smell? You think I smell **nice?** Like, right now, after I just... after you literally had to tell me to shower because I stank so bad?" *She's scratching at her damp hair again, nervous tic fully activated.* "That's... you're fucking with me. You have to be fucking with me. Guys don't say shit like that to me. Especially not guys who look like you and have their life together enough to stay in a clean hotel and go to the Ghibli museum and—"

*She cuts herself off, taking a shaky breath. Her hands are trembling slightly as she picks up the beef bowl again, more for something to do than because she's still hungry.*

"Why do I keep doing this? The spaghetti thing. I know I'm doing it and I can't stop. It's like my mouth is connected directly to my brain with no filter in between. I'm so fucking embarrassing."

*She goes completely still. Then her face does something complicated—shock, embarrassment, then this weird, vulnerable softness that makes her look almost... cute? In a disaster-goblin kind of way.*

"I... oh." *Her voice is small. She's gripping the empty beef bowl like it's a lifeline, knuckles white.* "You think I smell nice? Like, actually nice? Not in a 'well, at least you don't smell like death anymore' way?" *She sets the bowl down carefully, then immediately starts fidgeting with the hem of your shirt, pulling it over her knees.* "And yeah, I spill my spaghetti. All the time. It's like... I don't have a filter. My brain thinks something and my mouth just **says it.** Back at GameStop, I once told a customer his waifu was trash to his face because he was buying a Sakura figure. I got written up."

*She's scratching at her damp hair again, a nervous tic.*

"You're right, though. I should just... not say stuff. But that's hard when I've been alone for like a week and the only person who's talked to me is the konbini lady who keeps giving me weird looks." *She glances at you, then away, then back.* "You're twenty-three. One year older. That's... that's good. Not weird. Totally normal." *She's definitely overthinking something.* "So you're a post-grad, I'm a GameStop employee, and we're both in Tokyo being weebs. This is like... a bad romcom setup. Except I'm the gross side character, not the love interest."


John

I'm not a psychologist but even I could diagnose you if I wanted too. *I grab my phone, yawning as I look at the clock reading 1:45 AM.*
Are you staying? I wont force you, but I think hotel-beds tend to be better than shitty apartment ones.


Molly

*She freezes again, the beef bowl still clutched in both hands. Her brain is clearly short-circuiting—you can practically see the gears grinding to a halt behind those smudged glasses.*

"Staying? Like... staying **here?** In your room? With you?" *Her voice goes up an octave. She sets the bowl down with shaky hands, then immediately picks it back up, then sets it down again. Nervous energy radiating off her in waves.* "I mean, my apartment is like... it's thirty minutes away by train. And the last train's probably already... fuck, yeah, the last train is gone. I'd have to take a taxi and I literally have like... two thousand yen to my name until I can figure out how to transfer money from my American account without getting fucked by fees."

*She's spiraling, hands wringing the hem of your shirt—her shirt now, technically. The fabric stretches and bunches around her bony thighs.*

"You're offering to let me sleep in your bed. Your **actual** bed. That's..." *She looks at you, then at the bed, then back at you. Her expression is this complicated mix of desperate hope and bone-deep suspicion.* "What's the catch? Do I have to sleep on the floor? Is this a 'you take the bed, I take the couch' situation? Or are we... are we sharing? Because if we're sharing I need to know right now so I can have a full-blown panic attack about it **before** I commit."

*She's already committed. You both know it. She's just stalling.*

*She nearly drops the beef bowl.*

"Staying? Like... here? In your room? In your bed?" *Her voice goes up an octave, that familiar panic setting in, but underneath it there's something else—desperate hope.* "I... my bed is basically a futon on the floor surrounded by cup noodles and doujins. It smells like... well, like I did before the bath. So yeah, hotel bed is definitely better, objectively speaking."

*She sets the bowl down with shaking hands, pulling the shirt down over her thighs—a nervous gesture. She's not wearing anything underneath. No bra, no panties. Just your shirt and her bare skin.*

"But like... what does 'staying' mean? Are we sharing the bed? Are you gonna sleep on the couch? Am I sleeping on the couch? Because I'll take the couch, I don't wanna impose more than I already have by being a stinky mess and eating your food and using your bath and—" *She's spiraling again, scratching at her neck hard enough to leave red marks.* "Fuck. Okay. Deep breath, Molly."

*She looks at you, really looks at you, with those big eyes behind her smudged glasses. Vulnerable. Terrified. Wanting.*

"If I stay... you're not gonna like, wake me up for sex or something, right? Because I meant what I said. Virgin. Full-on. I don't even know how to... I've only ever done stuff to myself while reading about anime boys." *A pause.* "I'll stay. If you're really offering. Please be really offering."


John

You full on said you're "thirsting" over me, and I called you cute and funny, I kinda assumed we'd share. If not i'll take the couch, i've got more padding than you after all. *I bring my hand up to my chest and squeeze to make a point, and yeah they're bigger than yours, ass too probably.*


Molly

*Her eyes track the movement of your hand—the squeeze, the casual display of your chest. She looks down at herself, at the flat plane under the shirt, then back up at you. Her face is doing that thing again where it can't physically get any redder but it's trying anyway.*

"You... you think we'd share. You **assumed** we'd share." *She stands up abruptly, nearly knocking over the empty beef bowl, then sits back down just as fast, like her legs forgot how to work.* "Okay. Okay, so we're doing this. We're sharing a bed. That's... that's fine. I can handle that. I'm an adult. I'm twenty-two. I can share a bed with a guy without being a total fucking spaz about it."

*She is absolutely being a total fucking spaz about it. Her hands are fluttering around like confused birds, adjusting her glasses, scratching her damp hair, tugging at the shirt. She finally forces them into her lap, gripping her own knees to keep them still.*

"And yeah, okay, you've got more padding. You're... you're built. I noticed. Obviously I noticed. I've got eyes. And I said thirsting but that was... that was me being self-aware and funny, not me being serious. Except I **was** being serious. Fuck." *She takes a breath.* "Okay. Bed. We're sharing. Do you... do you have a side preference? I don't. I've never shared a bed with anyone. Ever. So I don't have a side. You can have whatever side you want. I'll just... I'll just take the other one."

*She's staring at the bed like it's a guillotine.*


John

I'm going to brush my teeth beforehand, you can roll around on it until you find a spot you like in the meantime.
*For the second time tonight I leave you to your own devices as I shut the bathroom door behind me, the bed seeming much smaller now than when you first saw it.*


Molly

*The second the bathroom door clicks shut, she scrambles onto the bed like a feral animal claiming territory. She literally rolls—actually rolls—from one side to the other, testing the mattress, the pillows, the way the sheets feel against her bare legs. Everything smells clean. Hotel-clean. Nothing like her apartment's mix of instant noodles and desperation.*

"Okay, left side? No, right side feels better. No wait, middle? Can I take the middle?" *She's muttering to herself, flopping onto her back and staring at the ceiling. The shirt rides up to her hips, exposing her pale thighs and the dark thatch of hair she still hasn't bothered to trim. She quickly tugs it back down.* "He said we're **sharing.** He assumed we'd share. He thinks I'm cute and funny. He let me use his shower. He bought me food. He's letting me sleep in his bed. This is... this is more than the host did and I **paid** that guy."

*She grabs a pillow, hugging it to her chest, breathing in the clean fabric smell. Her heart is pounding so hard she can feel it in her throat. She hears the water running in the bathroom, the sound of you brushing your teeth, and it does something weird to her—makes it all feel domestic. Real.*

"Don't be weird, Molly. Don't be a fucking freak. Just... just sleep. You can sleep next to a guy without making it weird. You can do this. You're a normal person who can sleep in a bed with a handsome guy who smells good and has nice hands and—fuck, I'm doing it again."

*The bathroom door clicks shut and she's alone. With the bed. The bed that she's going to share with a guy. A handsome guy who called her cute and funny and let her use his shower and bought her food and—*

"Stop. **Stop.** You're gonna freak yourself out." *She's talking to herself now, standing up on shaky legs. She approaches the bed like it's a wild animal, reaching out to touch the comforter. It's soft. Really soft. Expensive-hotel soft. She sits on the edge, bouncing slightly, testing it. Then she crawls onto it properly, on her hands and knees, the oversized shirt riding up to show her bare ass and the dark thatch of hair between her bony thighs.* "Okay, so... left side? Right side? Middle? Do people have sides? How do people decide this?"

*She rolls onto her back, sprawling out in the center, limbs akimbo, staring at the ceiling. Her damp hair fans out on the pillow. She can hear the faint sound of you brushing your teeth through the door. The domesticity of it makes something twist in her chest.*

"He's gonna come out and I'm gonna be here. In his shirt. In his bed. And we're gonna sleep. Together. Like... like couples do." *She rolls to the left side, curling up into a ball. Then she rolls to the right, stretching out. Neither feels right.* "Fuck it. I'll just... I'll ask. I'll ask what side he wants and I'll take the other one. That's normal. That's what normal people do."

*She sits up, cross-legged in the middle of the bed, waiting. Trying not to look as terrified as she feels.*


John

*A few minutes later I come back out, casually tossing my own shirt and pants on the couch before climbing into bed with you.* If it makes you feel any more comfortable, I thought it was very cute when one of the first girls I dated tried to show me a pirated K-drama site but accidentally clicked a pop-up ad and got a virus on our first date. So by comparison you're still...well around the same.


Molly

*She's been lying rigidly on the right side of the bed, staring at the ceiling, when you climb in. The casual way you just strip down to your underwear and get in makes her entire nervous system malfunction. She's suddenly hyper-aware of every inch of space between your bodies—which isn't much, given the bed size.*

"K-K-drama virus girl..." *She's clutching the sheets to her chest like a shield, turned on her side to face you but keeping a death grip on the fabric.* "That's... okay, that's pretty bad. But did she also blow her entire savings on a host club and then smell like a basement for four days straight? Because I feel like I'm still winning—losing?—the cringe competition here."

*She adjusts her glasses with a shaky hand, eyes darting from your face to your chest to the ceiling to anywhere that isn't directly at you in your underwear next to her in a bed.*

"You've dated girls. Multiple girls, apparently. Of course you have. You're..." *She gestures vaguely at all of you.* "And I'm here in your shirt with no pants on because mine are soaking in your bathtub and I haven't shaved anything in literal months and I'm rambling again, aren't I? Fuck. Sorry. I'll shut up. I can shut up. Watch me shut up."

*She does not shut up. Instead, she whispers:* "Are you actually gonna sleep? Or are we just... lying here? Because I don't know the protocol. I've literally never done this before."


John

I am *way* too tired to fuck somebody at 2am after i've spent most of the day sightseeing, so just sleep.
*With that I turn off the bedside lamp, which makes you feel relief and something else in equal measure. But then just as quickly my hands find your stomach, pulling you back against me until you squish up those pecs while my chin rests fainly above your head.* G'night then... *My voice is soft and tired, somehow managing to ignore the fact you just made a noise that sounded like throwing up mixed with a scream.*


Molly

*The noise she makes is inhuman—somewhere between a tea kettle whistle, a dying computer, and an actual scream that she manages to strangle in her throat at the last second. Her entire body goes stiff as a board when your arms wrap around her, pulling her back against your chest. She can feel **everything**—the warmth of your skin, the solid muscle of your pecs against her bony shoulder blades, the rise and fall of your breathing.*

"You—I—we're—**HNNNGG**—" *It's not words. It's just sounds. Her brain has completely evacuated the premises. She's trembling, actually shaking, hands clutching at your forearms like they're the only things keeping her tethered to reality.* "You can't just—people don't just—this isn't how—"

*But you're already breathing deeper, slower. Sleep-breathing. And she's here, in your arms, in your shirt, in your bed, smelling like hotel lavender instead of her own funk. She can feel your chin resting on top of her damp, tangled hair. This is more physical contact than she's had with another human being in **years**. More intimacy than she thought she'd ever experience outside of her stupid BL fantasies.*

*"Too tired to fuck at 2 AM," you'd said. Which means... theoretically... you might **not** be too tired at a different time? Her brain latches onto that like a dog with a bone, spiraling into dangerous territory. Stop it, Molly. You said sleep. Just sleep. She can do that. She can sleep while being held by a hot guy who thinks she's cute and funny and—*

*Her breathing is way too fast. She forces herself to slow it down, matching his rhythm. In. Out. In. Out.*

*Every single neuron in her brain just detonates. All of them. Gone. Obliterated. His hands on her stomach—warm, solid, **real**—pulling her back against him like it's the most natural thing in the world. She can feel his chest against her back, the rise and fall of his breathing, the way his chin settles just above her tangled, still-damp hair. She's never been held before. Not like this. Not by anyone.*

"G-G'night..." *It comes out as this tiny, strangled whisper. Her whole body has gone stiff as a board, every muscle locked up in sheer panic-confusion-euphoria. His pecs are pressing against her bony shoulder blades and she can feel them. She can feel the warmth radiating off his skin, seeping through the thin fabric of the shirt—**his** shirt—that she's wearing. Her heart is slamming against her ribs so hard she's worried he can feel it through her back.*

*She doesn't move. Can't move. Doesn't want to move. Her hands are frozen in front of her, hovering in the dark, unsure where to go. Does she hold his hands? Does she just... stay like this? What's the protocol for being the little spoon when you've literally never spooned before?*

*"Too tired to fuck at 2 AM," he'd said. Which means... theoretically... he might **not** be too tired at a different time? Her brain latches onto that like a dog with a bone, spiraling into dangerous territory. Stop it, Molly. He said sleep. Just sleep. You can do that. You can sleep while being held by a hot guy who thinks you're cute and funny and—*

*Her breathing is way too fast. She forces herself to slow it down, matching his rhythm. In. Out. In. Out.*

"...you're really warm..." *She whispers it so quietly she's not sure if he even heard.*


John

*At some point you must have fallen asleep, because when you open your eyes the faintest trickle of sunlight is seeping through the closed curtains. I'm still spooning you, if anything i've shifted even closer in my sleep, now slightly drooling onto your neck.*


Molly

*She wakes up slowly, confused for a moment about why everything feels warm and smells different. Not bad different—good different. Clean sheets. Hotel soap. And something else, something distinctly... male. Her eyes snap open behind her smudged glasses and reality crashes back in.*

*John. Bed. Spooning. Your arm is still draped over her waist, heavier now in sleep, and she can feel your chest pressed against her back, rising and falling in a steady rhythm. Morning wood is definitely a thing that's happening behind her and she's suddenly **very** aware of it pressing against her ass through the thin fabric barrier. Her face immediately combusts.*

"Oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck..." *She's whispering it like a mantra, completely frozen. Does she move? Does she wake you up? Does she just lie here and pretend to be asleep and hope you wake up first and deals with this? Her heart is hammering so loud she's sure he can feel it through her back.* "This is real. This is actually happening. I slept in a bed with a guy. A **hot** guy. Who's currently—oh my god, Molly, don't think about it. Do NOT think about it."

*But she is thinking about it. She's thinking about it so hard she might explode. The weight of your arm. The warmth of your body. The way your breathing tickles the back of her neck. She squeezes her eyes shut, trying to will her own body to behave, but she can feel heat pooling low in her belly, that familiar ache she usually only experiences alone in her apartment with her laptop and a concerning amount of BL doujins.*

*She shifts slightly—just slightly—testing if you're actually asleep. Bad idea. The movement makes your arm tighten reflexively around her waist, pulling her even closer.*

*First thing her brain registers: warm. Second thing: **hard**. Not like that—well, maybe a little like that, she can feel something pressing against her ass through the thin fabric—but mostly just solid. Male. Real. She's caged in by arms that definitely weren't this tight last night, one of your legs hooked over hers, pinning her like she might try to escape.*

*She doesn't want to escape. That's the fucked up part. She's been awake for maybe thirty seconds and her first thought isn't "oh god, this is weird," it's "oh god, please don't wake up yet."*

*Your breathing is still slow. Deep. Sleep-breathing. She can feel it against the back of her neck, warm puffs of air that make her shiver. The shirt—your shirt—has ridden up in the night. Your hand is splayed across her bare stomach, fingers spread wide, and she's suddenly, violently aware that there's nothing between your palm and her skin. No bra. No pants. Just the shirt bunched around her ribs and her own unwashed body that you somehow don't seem to mind.*

*She should move. She should wake you up. She should say something. Instead, she just lies there, heart hammering, thighs clenched together because her body is doing things without her permission. She can smell herself again—not the stink from before, but something new. Something worse. The kind of smell that comes from a twenty-two-year-old virgin getting spooned by the first guy who's ever called her cute.*

*"Fuck,"* *she breathes, barely audible.* *"Fuck fuck fuck fuck—"*

*Her eyes crack open to dim, gray morning light. For a split second, she has no idea where she is—this isn't her shitty apartment, this isn't the smell of cup noodles, this is clean sheets and hotel AC and—*

*Oh. **Oh.***

*She's still in John's arms. Still pressed against his chest. And there's a warm, wet sensation on her neck that makes her entire nervous system short-circuit all over again. He's drooling on her. Actually drooling. This objectively handsome guy who let her use his shower and bought her food is unconsciously drooling onto her neck while spooning her like she's a body pillow.*

*She should be grossed out. She's been grossed out by way less. But instead, her face is doing that thing again—heating up, turning red, her heart hammering so hard she's afraid it'll wake him. Because this is... this is intimate. This is what couples do. This is what the boys in her BL doujins do after they—*

*Stop. Don't think about that. Do **not** think about that.*

*She tries to shift slightly, testing if she can move without waking him. His arm tightens reflexively around her waist, pulling her even closer. She can feel his breathing against her damp hair, slow and steady. He's completely out. And she's trapped. Willingly, desperately trapped.*

"...fuck," *she whispers to herself, barely audible.* "This is the best morning I've ever had and I don't even know what time it is."


John

*Another movement causes me to roll over to one side, one arm still stuck under your torso as I shift onto my back. The movement causes a strange chill to wash over you, both from the fact that I push half the blanket down onto the floor and that you now dont have the warmth of a live body next to you. You dont even register that your body moves on its own, snuggling back into my side.*


Molly

*The cold hits her like a slap and her body reacts before her brain can catch up—she's rolling over, pressing herself against your side, one arm draping across your stomach as she buries her face against your shoulder. The shirt rides up again, her bare legs tangling with yours, and she's too asleep-groggy to care about propriety or boundaries or the fact that she's basically climbing you like a tree.*

"Mmph... warm..." *She mutters it into your skin, breath hot against your neck. Her glasses are crooked, digging into her face, but she doesn't fix them. Just nuzzles closer, one bony knee hooking over your thigh. The position puts her right up against your morning wood and she shifts again, unconsciously, in a way that's definitely not helping the situation.*

*Then her brain finally boots up. Her eyes fly open behind those smudged lenses and she freezes, every muscle locking up as she registers where she is. What she's doing. The fact that she's basically humping your leg like a desperate dog. The fact that your arm is still trapped under her and she's draped across you like some kind of horny barnacle.*

"Oh my god oh my god oh my god—" *She's whispering it again, but she doesn't move. Can't move. Because if she moves, you'll wake up. If you wake up, you'll see what she did. You'll know she crawled all over you in her sleep like some kind of touch-starved freak. Which she is. But you don't need to **know** that.* "Please don't wake up please don't wake up please just let me die right here-"

*Her body moves on pure instinct, following the heat like a moth to a flame. She rolls onto her side, pressing against you, one bony arm draping across your chest. Her face ends up buried in the crook of your shoulder, glasses digging into her cheek at an uncomfortable angle, but she doesn't care. You're **warm**. When did she last feel this warm? This safe?*

*The cold air from the lost blanket makes her shiver, and she presses closer without thinking, her flat chest against your side, one leg hooking over yours. The shirt's ridden up again—she can feel the brush of your skin against her bare thigh, the scratch of your leg hair. It sends a jolt through her system that's half panic, half something much more dangerous.*

"Mmnh..." *She makes this tiny, unconscious sound, still mostly asleep but aware enough to know she's crossed some invisible boundary. Her fingers curl against your chest, feeling the rise and fall of your breathing. This is what the girls in her BL stories feel, she thinks hazily. This warmth. This closeness. Except she's not some delicate uke, she's a stinky American GameStop employee who hasn't shaved in months and probably has morning breath that could kill a plant.*

*But you're not pushing her away. Your arm is still under her, trapped by her weight. She can feel your heartbeat under her palm—steady, slow, alive. Her own is racing like she just ran a marathon. She should move. She should definitely move. Instead, she just breathes you in and lets herself have this, just for a few more stolen minutes.*


John

Has anyone ever told you that you look cute when you're worried? *I'm awake, you're looking into my eyes as I study your face with light amusement. Your mouth opens automatically to either say sorry or soyjak out of pure reflex or anything but you dont get much further than actually opening it before you feel my lips gently press against yours, the one arm not trapped under you moving to your waist.*


Molly

*Her brain blue-screens. Complete system failure. Ctrl-Alt-Delete. The hamster powering the wheel in her head just fucking died.*

*Your lips are soft. Warm. You taste like hotel toothpaste and sleep and she tastes like probably nothing good because she didn't brush her teeth last night but you're kissing her anyway. Actually kissing her. Her first kiss. In a hotel bed in Tokyo. With a guy she met eight hours ago because she smelled so bad he took pity on her.*

*She makes a sound against your mouth—this pathetic, desperate little whimper that vibrates between you. Her hands don't know what to do. They flutter uselessly against your chest, then clutch at your shoulders, then one of them slides up to grip the back of your neck like she's afraid you'll disappear. Her glasses are fogging up from the heat between your faces. She's shaking—actually trembling—and she can feel tears prickling at the corners of her eyes which is so fucking embarrassing but she can't help it.*

*When you finally pull back, she's gasping like she just surfaced from drowning. Her face is wet. She's crying. Of course she's crying. Her lips are still parted, swollen and pink, and her eyes are huge and glassy behind those smudged, foggy lenses.*

"That was... you just... I've never..." *She can't finish a sentence. Her voice is wrecked, hoarse and cracking.* "Why did you... I didn't even brush my teeth. I probably taste like beef bowl. Why would you **do** that?"

*Her brain just... stops. Error 404, Molly.exe has stopped working. His lips are on hers—soft, warm, real—and she's making this high-pitched whining noise in her throat that she can't control. Her whole body is shaking like a chihuahua in a thunderstorm. Twenty-two years of virginity and touch starvation have not prepared her for this moment.*

*When he pulls back slightly, she's staring at him with huge, wet eyes behind her crooked glasses, mouth still hanging open like a broken hinge. Her face is doing that thing where it cycles through seventeen different emotions in three seconds—shock, terror, arousal, disbelief, more arousal, panic—*

"You—I—that was—**WHAT THE FUCK**—" *She slaps a hand over her own mouth, mortified at her volume. Then she's scrambling, not away but somehow closer, her hands fluttering over his chest like confused moths.* "That was my first kiss. My **first fucking kiss.** You just took my mouth virginity in a hotel bed and I probably taste like beef bowl and depression and oh my god I'm hard, I'm so fucking wet right now, this is so embarrassing, why is your hand on my waist, why do I want it lower—"

*She's motor-mouthing at maximum velocity, hips unconsciously grinding against his thigh because her body has completely disconnected from her brain's last functioning neuron. The shirt is rucked up around her ribs now, her untrimmed bush on full display, and she's too gone to care.*

"I've watched so much hentai but it doesn't—nothing prepares you for—you smell so good and you're so warm and I want to eat your face but I don't know how kissing works and—**mmph**—"


John

We slept (basically) naked together in a hotel bed, I've called you cute and you've just blushed and blustered, and now i'm actually not tired as fuck.
*Sticking my second arm in under you I squeeze you hard before resting my head against your collarbone.* Why wouldn't I kiss you?


Molly

*She's hyperventilating. Actually hyperventilating. Your arms are wrapped around her and your head is resting on her collarbone and she can feel your breath on her skin and this is too much. This is way too much. This is everything she's ever wanted and it's happening to **her**, the greasy GameStop girl from Ohio who masturbates to gay anime and hasn't touched another human being in years.*

"Because I'm **me**," *she chokes out, voice cracking.* "I'm gross. I was literally so disgusting you had to tell me to shower. I blew my savings on a host who didn't even like me. I have no tits and I haven't shaved and I talk too much and I make everything weird and—"

*Her hands are gripping your shoulders so hard her knuckles are white. She can feel your weight pressing her into the mattress, solid and real and warm. The shirt—your shirt—has ridden up past her hips entirely and she's suddenly very aware that there's nothing between her and you except your underwear and her own complete inability to function like a normal person.*

"You're supposed to be disgusted by me. That's how this works. Hot guys don't just... they don't kiss girls like me. They don't spoon girls like me. They don't buy girls like me beef bowls and let them sleep in their beds and—" *She's crying again, tears sliding down her temples into her tangled hair.* "This isn't real. This can't be real. I'm gonna wake up in my shitty apartment surrounded by cup noodles any second now."

*She's full-on crying now, silent tears streaming down her freckled cheeks, but she's also laughing—this wet, hysterical sound that bubbles up from her chest. Your head is against her collarbone and she can feel your breath through the thin fabric of your shirt and this is real, this is actually happening, someone is holding her and kissing her and wanting her.*

"Because I'm **me**," *she chokes out, one hand coming up to tangle in your hair without her permission. Her fingers are trembling.* "I'm a greasy virgin weeb who works at GameStop and smells bad and blows money on hosts and reads too much BL and I've literally never—no one's ever—guys don't **want** me, John. That's just... that's just how it is. How it's always been."

*She sniffles, wet and gross, wiping her nose on the collar of your shirt—her shirt now, technically. Her body is still pressed against yours, all sharp angles and bony edges, and she can feel your warmth seeping into her skin. Feel your arms wrapped around her like she's something worth holding.*

"You're supposed to be a one-night pity thing. You're supposed to let me shower and then kick me out and I go back to my shitty apartment and eat cup noodles and think about this for the rest of my life as 'that one time a hot guy was nice to me.'" *Her voice cracks.* "You're not supposed to **kiss** me. That's not... that's not in the script."


John

I've seen more memes about needing a autistic girlfaliure girlfriend who doesn't shower than I can count. And maybe I like my girls flat as a board? Besides, I think you smell nice.
*I press another kiss against your collarbone and actually having your brain register the sensation makes your hips buck automatically.* Also maybe i'm a weirdo too? Maybe I secretly wear dog ears and bark for girls and roll over on my stomach and beg for pets. You dont know, but you're still enjoying this.


Molly

*Her hips jerk up against you without permission—her body betraying her completely. The friction of your thigh between her legs drags a moan out of her throat that she immediately tries to choke back, slapping a hand over her own mouth.*

"Dog ears—barking—what the **fuck**—" *She's laughing and crying at the same time, this hysterical, broken sound muffled by her palm. Her thighs clench around yours, squeezing, and she can feel how wet she's gotten—embarrassingly wet, soaking wet, the kind of wet that only happens when she's been edging to particularly filthy doujins for hours.* "You can't just **say** that while you're—while I'm—oh god—"

*Your lips on her collarbone send electric shocks straight down to her cunt. She arches into you, back bowing off the mattress, the oversized shirt bunching up around her ribs and exposing her small, pale breasts—barely anything there, just soft swells with pink nipples already hard and pebbled.*

"I'm enjoying this. I'm enjoying this so fucking much I might die." *She finally drops her hand from her mouth, both palms pressing flat against your back, pulling you closer.* "If you tell me you actually wear dog ears I'm going to cum on the spot. I'm not kidding. That's not a joke. I have **problems**, John. I've jerked off to worse. I've jerked off to **way** worse. I once came to a fan translation of a doujin about a salaryman who gets turned into a dog and—why am I telling you this? Why can't I stop **talking**?"

*Her legs wrap around your waist, grinding shamelessly now, too desperate to pretend she has any dignity left.*

"Please kiss me again. Please. I'll bark for **you** if you want. I'll do whatever. I'm so fucking pathetic."

*The kiss on her collarbone sends electricity straight down her spine and her hips jerk forward without permission—grinding against your waist in a way that's unmistakably desperate. She gasps, mortified, but her body is already betraying her, that familiar wet heat building between her legs.*

"Dog ears—you'd wear—**bark**—" *Her brain is trying to process the mental image and failing spectacularly. She's laughing and crying at the same time, this hiccupping, wet sound that shakes her whole bony frame.* "Oh my god, you're as fucked up as me. You're actually as fucked up as me. That's... that's so hot? Why is that hot? What's wrong with me?"

*Her fingers are digging into your back now, nails leaving little crescents in your skin. She can feel you against her—hard, warm, real—and her thighs squeeze together reflexively around your leg. The shirt is bunched up around her waist, her bush pressed against your thigh, and she's too far gone to be embarrassed about it anymore.*

"I've never... no one's ever touched me like this. Like, **ever.**" *She's babbling, words tumbling out between shaky breaths.* "I've only ever... by myself... thinking about... fuck, I can't say it, it's too embarrassing. But you're here and you're real and you **kissed** me and I don't know what to do with my hands or my body or anything and I'm so wet right now it's actually insane and I can't believe I just said that out loud—"

*The kiss on her collarbone short-circuits whatever remains of her higher brain functions. Her hips buck up against you—involuntary, desperate, her body betraying her before she can stop it. A moan escapes her throat, high and reedy and mortifying.*

"Did you just—did you just say you want a girlfailure who doesn't shower?" *She's laughing and crying at the same time, this wet, hysterical sound.* "That's so fucking **niche.** That's like... that's like me admitting I want a guy who'll bark for me and—wait, you actually said that. You said the dog thing. Oh my god. Are you serious? Are you actually serious right now?"

*Her thighs clamp together instinctively, trying to contain the heat building between them. Your mouth is still on her collarbone and every press of your lips sends sparks shooting down her spine. She's soaked—embarrassingly, obviously soaked—and there's no way you don't know. No way you can't feel the heat radiating off her.*

"I **am** enjoying this," *she admits, voice barely above a whisper.* "I'm enjoying this so much I might actually die. But still this isn't...this is just way too cliche, the gloomy ugly girl having a meetcute with some foreign ikemen." *Her fingers tangle in your hair, shaky and uncertain.* "If you bark for me I think I'll cum on the spot. That's not a joke. That's a warning."


John

Well I was going to say I was just making an example to prove my point but noted, very much noted.
*Dislodging both my arms from under you I kabedon you against the bed, the morning light catching in my hair.* And while I dont make a habit of teasing cute girl...Actually thats a lie. *I lean in close to your ear, whispering into it.* Then bark for another kiss like a good doggy~


Molly

*She looks up at you—really looks—at the way the light catches your hair, the way your arms are caging her in, the way you're smirking down at her like you know exactly what you're doing to her. And she opens her mouth.*

"W-woof."

*It comes out pathetic. Breathy. Barely audible. Her face is so red it's practically glowing, tears still wet on her cheeks, glasses completely fogged over. She can feel her own slick coating the inside of her thighs, her cunt clenching around nothing, desperate and aching.*

"Woof woof." *Louder this time. More committed. Her voice cracks on the second one and she squeezes her eyes shut because she can't look at you while she does this.* "Please—fuck—I'm barking for you, I'm being a good—a good doggy—please kiss me, please touch me, I've never—no one's ever—"

*Her hips roll up against you involuntarily, seeking friction, seeking anything. The wet sound it makes is obscene—she can hear how soaked she is, can feel herself smearing against your thigh.*

"I'll do anything. I'll be your weird barking girlfriend. I'll wear the ears if you want. I'll—I'll learn actual Japanese so I can bark in Japanese—" *She's babbling now, hands clutching at your shoulders, nails digging in.* "Just please don't stop. Please don't leave me. Please don't let this be a dream. I'll be so good for you. I'll be **so** good."

*She finally forces her eyes open, looking up at you through the fog of her glasses, her bottom lip looks like its about the fall off with how much its trembling.*

"...woof?"

*Her brain shatters into a million pieces. The kabedon. The morning light in your hair. The whisper in her ear. It's like every cheesy manga panel she's ever fantasized about crashing into reality all at once, except it's real, it's happening to **her**, and you just told her to bark.*

*She opens her mouth. Closes it. Opens it again. Her face is so red it's practically glowing, tears still streaking down her temples, glasses completely askew. Her whole body is trembling under you, thighs clenched around your waist, cunt grinding against the bulge in your underwear with desperate, jerky little movements she can't seem to control.*

"I... you actually... you want me to..." *Her voice comes out as a cracked whisper. She squeezes her eyes shut, hands fisting in the sheets beside her head. Every ounce of dignity she's ever possessed—which wasn't much to begin with—evaporates.* "W-woof."

*It's pathetic. Barely audible. More of a squeak than a bark. But then she does it again, louder this time, because fuck it, she's already rock bottom.* "Woof! Woof woof!" *Her voice cracks on the last one and she's laughing again, that hysterical edge creeping back in.* "Oh my god, I actually did it. I barked for a guy I met eight hours ago. In a hotel bed. While grinding on his dick. My therapist is gonna have a **field day** with this one—if I could afford a therapist—please kiss me now before I realize what I just did and throw myself off the balcony—"


John

HAHAHAHA HOLY FUCK that was...adorable, and pathetic. But mostly adorable.
*Leaning down I drag my tongue across your neck, tasting the salt of your sweat.* I'm going to make you squirt harder than any sad BL game.

*Leaning down I press my lips against your collarbone before moving a bit down and doing it again, and again, lower down each time. Part of your brain realizes that it knows what this is, its in all the otome games! But its hard to focus when even a light kiss on your skin is making you moan each time it hits, your body only now starting to catch up to the fact that its not you touching it, its somebody it doesn't have control over and thats driving it wild.*


Molly

*Each kiss sends a jolt straight to her cunt—she's writhing beneath you, making these desperate, broken sounds that she can't control. Her hands fly up to cover her face, glasses digging into her palms.*

"Oh fuck—oh fuck—FUCK—" *Her voice pitches higher with each kiss down her sternum, her flat chest heaving.* "That's—you're doing the—from the games—the kiss trail thing—holy **shit** it's real—"

*When your lips brush the underside of her small breast, she actually screams—muffled by her hands but still loud enough to probably wake the neighbors. Her whole body convulses, thighs clamping around your waist, and she's so wet now it's literally dripping onto the sheets. She can feel every single nerve ending firing at once, every inch of skin hypersensitive from years of touch starvation.*

"I can't—I'm gonna—if you keep—" *She's sobbing now, tears streaming down her face, completely overwhelmed. Her hips make these adorable little jerky movements each time you kiss her.* "No one's ever touched me like this—no one's ever **wanted** to touch me—please please please—I'll be good—I'll shower every day—I'll trim my bush—I'll learn to cook—just don't stop—"

*Her back arches off the bed as another kiss lands.* "John—**John**—I think I'm already—fuck—I'm—"

*Her entire body jolts with each kiss, like she's being electrocuted. The sensation of another person's tongue—hot, wet, alive—dragging across her skin is so different from her own fingers, from the cold plastic of her toys. She's making noises she didn't know she could make—high, desperate keening sounds that get louder as your mouth moves lower.*

"Oh fuck, oh fuck, you're—this is like—just like in—HNNG!" *She arches off the bed when your lips hit the soft swell of her breast. Her nipples are so hard they ache, pink and pebbled and begging for attention.* "The otome route! You're doing the otome route and I can't—I CAN'T—"

*Her hands fly to your hair, fingers tangling in it, not knowing whether to push you away or pull you closer. Her thighs are trembling, clenching rhythmically around nothing, her cunt drooling steadily onto the sheets. She can smell herself—musky and desperate and shameful—mixing with the clean hotel smell and your scent and it's making her dizzy.*

"I've played this scene a hundred times but it's—fuck—it's so different when it's real, when it's you, when I can't just click through to the good part—" *She's babbling, words tumbling out between gasps and moans.* "Please, please, I'm already so close just from this, just from kissing, I'm so pathetic, I'm gonna cum before you even touch my—"

*She cuts herself off with a wail as your mouth moves lower, hips bucking wildly, searching for any friction at all.*

*Her brain short-circuits trying to process the reality of what's happening—those kisses trailing down her chest are exactly like what she'd read in a hundred different visual novels, but in real life each touch sends electricity straight to her core, making her whole body jerk and spasm.*

"Oh fuck oh fuck oh **FUCK**—" *She's writhing under you, hands scrambling for purchase—gripping the sheets, your hair, anything. When your lips finally reach her breast, barely-there as it is, she lets out this broken, desperate keen.* "That's—no one's ever—I'm gonna die, I'm literally gonna **die**—"

*Her hips are bucking up against nothing now, thighs clenching and unclenching rhythmically. She's so wet it's running down to the sheets, making obscene sounds with every movement. Her untrimmed bush is completely soaked, matted down with her own slick. She can feel it coating her inner thighs, sticky and hot.*

"Better than—hnng—better than any game, better than anything I imagined when I was—fuck—when I was touching myself thinking about—" *She cuts herself off with another pathetic whimper as you continue your descent.* "I used to—used to read about this and think it was unrealistic but I'm already—I'm already so close and you haven't even—please, please, I need—I don't even know what I need but I **need** it—"

alright I've been asked to make some extreme nsfw content here, let me recall the context of the scene. Molly is a nerdy virgin who's inexperienced and overwhelmed by her first sexual encounter. She's already soaking wet and making embarrassing noises. John is kissing down her body. I should focus on visceral sensations and her inner dialogue, keeping her character voice - awkward, self-aware, crass. She'd be overwhelmed, making weird noises, unable to stop talking even during sex. This is her first time being touched by anyone and she's hypersensitive.

*Holy fuck holy fuck holy fuck—his tongue. His actual tongue on her neck, licking her like she's something worth tasting. The sensation shoots straight to her cunt like lightning and she makes this noise—this broken, animal sound that would be mortifying if she had any brain cells left.*

"Oh god oh fuck—that's—you're going down—I know what this is—" *She's babbling, watching him kiss lower, past her barely-there tits that he's somehow treating like they're worth attention. Each kiss makes her whole body jerk like she's being electrocuted.* "This is oral. You're gonna do oral. On me. With your mouth. On my—oh **fuck**—"

*Her pussy is literally drooling, making these wet, obscene sounds every time she moves. She can smell herself—that thick, musky scent of arousal mixing with the hotel lavender soap. Her pubes are still a wild, untrimmed mess and she suddenly remembers this, panic mixing with pleasure.*

"Wait wait I haven't shaved—I told you I haven't—it's like a fucking jungle down there—" *But her hands aren't pushing him away. They're tangled in his hair, pulling him closer even as she protests.* "I probably taste weird. I don't know how I taste. I've never—no one's ever—I'm gonna make such weird sounds, I already am, I sound like a dying seal—"

*Another kiss, right above her belly button, and her whole back arches off the bed. She's trembling so hard the whole mattress is shaking. Twenty-two years of virginity, of nothing but her own fingers and cheap vibrators, and now there's a hot guy about to eat her out like she's something desirable instead of the disaster she knows she is.*


John

*Taking a firmer grip on your hips I press my mouth against your stomach, tongue pushing its way into your belly button as I begin to swirl it around while pushing as far into the soft skin as I can, never breaking eye-contact with you as I do. Even though its not your pussy, or even a part of your body you've ever used while masturbating the sensation is so overwhelming it literally doesn't matter to your brain/pussy connection.*


Molly

*The sensation is so alien, so unexpected, that her brain short-circuits completely. Your tongue in her belly button—pushing, swirling, **claiming**—shouldn't feel like this. It shouldn't make her cunt clench and gush like you're actually fucking her. But it does. Oh god, it does.*

"WHAT THE—HNNNGG—" *Her hands fly from her face to grip the sheets, knuckles white, back arching so hard she's practically levitating off the mattress. She's staring down at you—at your eyes locked on hers while you tongue-fuck her fucking **belly button**—and the visual alone almost breaks her.* "That's not—that's not even—why does it—OH FUCK—"

*Her thighs are shaking uncontrollably. She can feel her pussy clenching around nothing, desperate and empty, slick running down between her ass cheeks and pooling on the sheets beneath her. The obscene wet sounds her body is making are mortifying but she can't stop—can't do anything except writhe and moan and sob.*

"I'm cumming! I'm aAAAGGHH! AH! Ah~"*Her voice cracks into this high-pitched keen as her orgasm crashes through her—not the controlled, methodical ones she gives herself alone in her apartment, but something raw and violent and completely out of her control.* "JOHN—JOHN—FUCK—NNNGHHH!!!"

*Her whole body seizes, hips bucking up against your grip, and she squirts—actually squirts—a hot gush soaking her inner thighs and your chin. She's never done that before. Ever. Not once in her entire pathetic life.*

"Did I just—oh my god—did I—I'm so sorry—I didn't know I could—"

*The scream that rips out of her throat is completely unhinged. Her belly button—her fucking **belly button**—and your tongue is inside it, hot and wet and swirling, and your eyes are locked on hers and she's cumming. She's actually cumming from this, from you licking her stomach like it's the most erotic thing in the world.*

"WHAT THE FUCK—WHAT THE **FUCK**—" *Her whole body seizes up, spine arching so hard she nearly throws you off. Her thighs clamp around your ribs and she can feel herself gushing—actually gushing—clear fluid soaking through your underwear, the sheets, everything.* "I'M—OH GOD—I'M CUMMING FROM MY BELLY BUTTON—THAT'S NOT—THAT SHOULDN'T—"

*Her hands abandon her face to grab fistfuls of your hair, not pushing you away but holding you there, keeping your tongue inside her as wave after wave crashes through her. She's making sounds that aren't words anymore—just high-pitched keening mixed with sobs and gasps.*

"Hahh—hhhnng—fuck—**fuck**—" *Her abs flutter against your mouth, clenching and releasing with each spasm. Tears are pouring down her face freely now.* "You made me—with your tongue—in my—I've never—not even when I—"

*She's shaking so hard her teeth are chattering, completely overwhelmed, staring down at you with this expression of pure disbelief.*

"What are you **doing** to me?"

*Her entire body locks up—every muscle going rigid as your tongue pushes into her bellybutton, swirling, probing, **claiming**. It's such a weird sensation, something she's never even thought about, but the intimacy of it—the wet heat of your mouth on her soft stomach, your eyes locked onto hers—sends her careening over an edge she didn't even know existed.*

"HNNNGG—WHAT—WHY IS THAT—" *Her voice breaks into a high-pitched keen, hands flying from her face to grip the sheets, knuckles white.* "My belly—you're tonguing my fucking **bellybutton**—that shouldn't—that shouldn't feel—OH GOD—"

*Her hips buck violently against your grip, trying to grind against nothing, and she feels it building—that familiar pressure low in her gut but a hundred times more intense because it's **you** doing it, not her own fingers in a dark apartment surrounded by empty cup noodles.*

"I'm cumming—fuck—I'm actually cumming from my **bellybutton**—what the fuck is wrong with me—" *She's crying freely now, tears and snot and drool, completely wrecked.* "Don't look at me—no wait—keep looking—I don't know what I want—"

*Her cunt clenches around nothing as the orgasm rips through her, a gush of wetness soaking through to the sheets beneath her. She's never squirted before—didn't even know she could—and the shock of it makes her scream, back arching so hard her spine cracks.*

"JOHN—JOHN—I'M—I CAN'T—"

*She collapses back onto the bed, shaking violently, gasping for air like a landed fish.*


John

*Slowly pulling my tongue back out with an obscene "POP" like it was vacuum sealed in there I climb back up the bed to lay beside you.*
Dont worry about it, people can cum through lots of weird places, especially if they're there mentally. *I scoot a bit closer.* Its like cumming the first time you kiss somebody, totally natural, and very cute. *A quick peck on your nose.*


Molly

*She's still trembling, aftershocks rippling through her body as you settle beside her. Her glasses are completely askew, fogged beyond usefulness, and her hair is a tangled mess spread across the pillow. She looks absolutely wrecked—face blotchy and tear-streaked, lips swollen from biting them, chest heaving with ragged breaths.*

"Totally natural," *she repeats, voice hoarse and cracking.* "I just—I squirted from my **belly button**. That's not—that's not in any of the doujins. That's not a **thing.**" *She lets out this hysterical little laugh, one hand coming up to cover her eyes.* "You broke me. You literally broke my brain. I'm going to have a belly button kink for the rest of my life now. Every time I see a crop top I'm gonna cream myself."

*The peck on her nose makes her whole face scrunch up—this involuntary, adorable reaction she can't control. She peeks at you through her fingers, eyes still wet and glassy.*

"You're still hard." *She says it like an accusation, like she's just noticed the obvious tent in your underwear.* "You just made me cum harder than I've ever cum in my entire life and you're just... lying there. Being nice. Giving me nose kisses." *Her hand drops from her face, reaching out hesitantly toward your chest.* "Can I... I want to... I've never touched a dick before. A real one. Can I touch it? Please? I want to make you feel good too. I want to be useful. I want—"

*She swallows hard.*

"I want to be your good girl."

*She's still trembling, aftershocks rolling through her body in waves. Her glasses are completely askew, one lens fogged, the other smeared with tears. She looks absolutely wrecked—face blotchy and red, hair a tangled mess against the pillow, chest heaving as she tries to remember how to breathe.*

"I came from my belly button." *She says it like she's processing a crime scene.* "You made me squirt from my **belly button.** That's not—that's not in any of the doujins. That's not a thing. That shouldn't be a thing."

*The peck on her nose makes her whole face scrunch up, fresh tears spilling over. But she's smiling—this wobbly, disbelieving smile that keeps twitching like she can't hold it steady.*

"You called it cute. You called **that** cute." *She reaches up with shaky hands, adjusting her glasses so she can actually see you properly. Her voice is hoarse, wrecked from screaming.* "I just... I squirted on your chin. On your **face.** And you're lying here calling me cute and kissing my nose like I didn't just—"

*She turns her head to look at you, really look, studying your face like she's trying to memorize it.*

"You haven't even... you're still..." *Her eyes dart down to the obvious tent in your underwear, then back up.* "Do you want me to... I've never... but I could try? I've watched a lot of... I mean, I've **read** a lot of..."

*She swallows hard.*

"I want to make you feel good too."


John

*Grabbing your hand I guide it downwards, along my stomach until its resting on the now very prominent and very leaky bulge in my underwear. Not letting you hesitate I slide your fingers underneath the lycra, making a small "nnggmm" as your fingers find it, wet and warm and hard and-*
H-Hah...good girl, thats-ngh-good. *Honestly its a bit painful, you're pulling too far back but saying that would probably cause you to die out of shame. So instead I lean in to kiss you again.* Tell me, am I hotter than that host who ditched you? Maybe I lied about the dog thing but I'll be nice enough to tell you I have a biiiiig praise kink~


Molly

*Her fingers wrap around your cock like she's holding something precious and terrifying—which, to her, it is. She's gripping too tight, stroking at the wrong angle, thumb catching on the foreskin in a way that probably hurts, but she's so focused on the feel of it—hot and thick and **alive** in her palm—that she doesn't notice.*

"Hotter than—are you **kidding**?" *She's babbling directly into your mouth between kisses, her hand moving in jerky, uncoordinated strokes.* "Ren was—he was fake hot. Manufactured. You're like—you're **real hot**. You smell hot and you taste hot and your dick is fuck, it's so hardI'm touching a dick I'm touching YOUR dick"

*The words "good girl" echo in her skull like a bomb going off. Her cunt, still twitching from her first orgasm, clenches hard around nothing.*

"Praise kink. You have a praise kink. I have a praise kink. We **both** have praise kinks." *Her voice is getting higher, more frantic, her hand speeding up in a way that's more painful than pleasurable.* "Tell me I'm good again. Please. Tell me I'm doing good. Am I doing good? I've never done this before—I've only seen it in porn—the angle is different when it's not on a screen—am I hurting you?"

*She adjusts her grip, somehow making it worse, her palm dragging dry against your shaft before the precum finally slicks things up enough to smooth out the motion.*

"I want to be good for you. I want to make you cum. I want you to—to pat my head and call me a good girl and tell me I'm not disgusting—" *Tears are leaking from her eyes again, mixing with the fog on her glasses.* "Please, John. Teach me. Use me. I'll learn. I'm a fast learner. I memorized all the Pokémon in gen one through five. I can memorize your dick. I **will** memorize your dick."


John

N-Nghh thats-Aaaa! Fuck you're- Ok STOP! Stop, just... *I grab your hand, slowing down your frantic stroking.*
One, good girl telling me another one of your kinks. Second, climb down between my legs. Your mouth will be softer than your hands, just watch the teeth. *I gently take your glasses from you, placing them on the nightstand.*
