Griffin's Salvation

Chapter 13: Kian

The first thing I hear when I get near my dorm room is music, I few weeks ago I'd introduced Ju-ri to Just Dance video game on my Xbox, and she'd gotten addicted. I asked her why she never heard of video games before and her answer was "You humans go through bursts of fade very quickly and it's exhausting trying to keep up, so I just mostly don't". that was understandable, she lived so long and people tended to lose interest in the new viral thing sweeping over the human population that year very quickly. it saddened me to notice that ever since that day she would drop in, even when I wasn't there to game. I mean she would do that for a game and not her own mate, quite shameless behavior if you think about it.

I crept close to my door as quietly as I could and silently opened the door, this wasn't what I'd expected at all and it threw me out of a loop. Ju-ri was in shorts and a sports bra dancing to Reggaeton Storm, one of the earliest Just Dance. That song was all hip thrusting and twerking and my brain just circuited. I could see it clearly in my mind's eye, I imagine what it would feel like to have her moving like that on my d**k with he tits... something hit my forehead so I looked down surprised, Ju-ri's controller was at my feet.

-why are you hitting me I asked surprised

-you dirty-minded little man!

-oh, you heard that?

-I didn't just hear it I also saw it! that how graphic you were.

-sweet, in any case, I'm sorry I forgot to think in the background.

-you say that like this is a common occurrence!

- Are you hungry, do you want to eat anything?

-do not change the subject, how often does this happen?

-I think you'd have better luck at reaching a concrete number if you asked the number of time spent not fantasizing about you naked on top or under me.

- Kian! she gasped throwing her slipper at me. do not say things like that!

-did you know that with time my sense of smell got really sharp?

-you're changing the subject again.

-I meant that I can scent you getting wet while your mouth is spewing self-righteous bullshitery. I scoffed rummaging through my take-out drawer. I'm feeling like eating ramen today, how about you?

-That is an unconscious reaction, I can't be held accountable for that!

- So are my thoughts they just sort of happen when you're around

-since when?

-since after we completed the first bite, everything just sort of woke up after that night.

-This is the first time I have heard anything like this, I thought we agreed not to close our minds off from each other.

-I don't.

-but how?

-I've created a box in my mind and all thoughts of the s****l variety happen in there, I am sure you could get in there if you tried. it just kind of happens back there and I make sure that whatever I'm doing at that time is echoing in my head louder and on the forefront.

-I never noticed, I'm really the worst mate ever.

-no you're not, do you remember for like two months after you bit me? How I would always be running multiple song lyrics in my head on a loop, at the same time and you were perplexed trying to figure out if that was my normal or if something weird was happening again.

-I remember those days.

-you did notice! You just put two and two together and came up with five. I was actually testing you out to see what you could hear and what went unnoticed, that how I perfected the s*x box. I didn't want you to freak out and run again if you were aware that a teenager was lusting after you.

-I wouldn't...

-you would, you know you would, hell you have!

-Kian!

-how about a burger?

-I'm so...

-don't apologize, it's not...I stopped taking a big breath in. So burgers or ramen, what tickles your fancy?

-Ramen.

the mood around the room got kind of quiet while we waited for our orders to come. Ju-ri slipped into one of my sweatshirts and sat on the bed, worrying her fingers. I could hear her mind firing off in multiple directions, and I know she meant well, but getting abandoned by your soulmate did not feel great. I'm aware she didn't mean it like that, but it sure as f**k felt like it. I always steered clear of any thoughts that would lead me back to those earlier days because they were triggering for both of us, no use torturing ourselves over something we couldn't change. Ju-ri always ended up feeling like s**t and I had to work hard to cheer her back up, my stupid mouth got the better of me today, that's what opening that darn s*x box got me. It broke all my defenses. I joined her on the bed and wrapped myself around her like a panda, rocking us back and forth until she stopped picking at her nails.

-I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking. all my brain cells got stuck between my d**k and my head and I lost control.

-you shouldn't have to walk on eggshells around me.

-I don't, it doesn't feel right to hurt you over something you did thinking you were doing the right thing.

-I should have known better

-you meant well.

- the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

-I think we should focus on the now! there's nothing we can do to change the past what happened is done. how about we promise to not make single-handed decisions and just talk things through together before making any major decisions that could impact both of us?

-okay, I'm so...

-you really have nothing to apologize for, this time, I'm the dickhead! I kissed the top of her head while she wrapped her arms around me, my birthday was in two days, and I'd hate for her to be unhappy on such a joyous day, plus the party promised to be fun.

-how did you know about the party? she startled looking up at me

-you were thinking about it in your sleep a few weeks ago.

-damn it! it was supposed to be a surprise. she groaned burying her head in my chest

-I promise to act adequately surprised when the day comes.

-you better, the twins were very excited about the party.

the rest of the night went on without a hitch, we ate our food, talked, and watched some TV.
