The third chapter of an incredibly, amazingly, horrendously long RP
and I have been doing since I first got on Inkbunny. She and I met six and a half years ago, on June 10th, 2014. And we've been great friends ever since. ^^

Finally, I have decided to take and attempt to edit this monster RP out into a story, so that the people that enjoy Laoru's art can see where some of it came from. Also, to help me remember what in the world happened. ^^; Six years is a long time!

This chapter was a bit shorter, but next chapter will be a beast, so...

If you want the cliffnotes of what happens in this chapter (Thanks past/future me!):
Midnight and Looru go out to a fancy Japanese restaurant.
Midnight doesn't think Looru is strong enough to go home alone, and has her prove herself.
In the end, Looru unintentionally succeeds by sitting on Midnight's chest bottomless.
Midnight awkwardly asks Looru on an official date for the next day.

And here's the links to the pictures that all happened during this chapter in order of appearance!

 ‌ ‌
"Yeah...‌ ‌Usually‌ ‌she's‌ ‌not‌ ‌so‌ ‌persistent.‌ ‌She‌ ‌must‌ ‌really‌ ‌like‌ ‌you."‌ ‌He‌ ‌rubs his neck awkwardly.‌ ‌"Anyways,‌ ‌this‌ ‌is‌ ‌Station‌ ‌Square.‌ ‌The‌ ‌heart‌ ‌of‌ ‌Westopolis."‌ ‌
 ‌ ‌
Looking‌ ‌around‌, Looru takes in the area. ‌"Wow...‌ ‌I‌ ‌never‌ ‌seen‌ ‌so‌ ‌many‌ ‌people‌ ‌gathered‌ ‌in‌ ‌a‌ ‌same‌ ‌place...‌ ‌Surely‌ ‌not‌ ‌easy‌ ‌to‌ ‌find‌ your ‌way‌ ‌among‌ ‌a‌ ‌such‌ ‌crowd.."‌ ‌She‌ ‌says,‌ ‌quit‌e ‌impressed‌. ‌
 ‌ ‌
Midnight‌ ‌easily‌ ‌maneuvers‌ ‌around‌ ‌the‌ ‌crowd‌,‌ ‌walking‌ ‌into‌ ‌a‌ ‌Japanese‌ ‌restaurant.‌ ‌
 ‌ ‌
"Alright,‌ maybe‌ ‌not‌ ‌so‌ ‌much…"‌ ‌Looru muses softly to herself.
 ‌ ‌
"Mm,‌ ‌smells‌ ‌oriental‌ ‌in‌ ‌here."‌ ‌He‌ ‌smiles as he looks around.‌ ‌He‌ ‌gets‌ ‌them‌ ‌a‌ ‌table‌ ‌and‌ ‌pulls‌ ‌her‌ ‌seat‌ ‌out‌ ‌for‌ ‌her‌ ‌like‌ ‌a‌ ‌gentleman.‌ ‌
 ‌ ‌
"Oh‌ ‌Thanks‌‌!‌ ‌That's‌ ‌nice‌ ‌of‌ ‌you‌."‌ ‌she‌ ‌smiles‌ ‌and‌ ‌sits‌. ‌
 ‌ ‌
He‌ ‌pushes‌ ‌her‌ ‌in‌ ‌and‌ ‌sits‌ ‌across‌ ‌from‌ ‌her.‌ ‌He‌ ‌orders‌ ‌himself‌ ‌a‌ ‌full‌ ‌meal,‌ ‌including‌ ‌eggrolls,‌ ‌
sushi,‌ ‌rice,‌ ‌Teriyaki,‌ ‌and‌ ‌egg‌ ‌drop‌ ‌soup.‌ ‌
 ‌ ‌
"Indeed‌ ‌you‌ ‌seem‌ ‌to‌ ‌really‌ ‌like‌ ‌Japanese‌ ‌food‌!"‌ ‌She‌ ‌says,‌ ‌impressed‌.
 ‌ ‌
"Nah,‌ ‌just‌ ‌hungry."‌ ‌He‌ ‌smiles.‌ ‌"Order‌ ‌whatever‌ ‌you‌ ‌want,‌ ‌I‌ ‌just‌ ‌got‌ ‌my‌ ‌salary."‌ ‌
 ‌ ‌
"Thanks… What‌ ‌kind‌ ‌of‌ ‌job‌ ‌do‌ ‌you‌ ‌do‌?‌ ‌Are‌ ‌you‌ ‌a‌ ‌GUN‌ ‌agent,‌ ‌too‌?"‌ ‌She‌ ‌asks,‌ ‌curious‌ ‌to‌ ‌know‌ ‌
more‌ ‌about‌ ‌him.‌ ‌
 ‌ ‌
"Nah...‌ ‌free‌ ‌agent.‌ ‌I‌ ‌do‌ ‌whatever‌ ‌anybody‌ ‌wants‌ ‌me‌ ‌to‌ ‌do,‌ ‌for‌ ‌the‌ ‌right‌ ‌price.‌ ‌Handywork,‌ ‌
shopping,‌ ‌spying,‌ ‌stealing,‌ ‌assassinations..."‌ ‌He‌ ‌pauses.‌ ‌"But,‌ ‌nobody's‌ ‌asked‌ ‌me‌ ‌to‌ ‌kill‌ ‌anyone‌ ‌
yet,‌ ‌if‌ ‌you're‌ ‌squeamish‌ ‌to‌ ‌death."‌ ‌
 ‌ ‌
Indeed,‌ ‌her‌ ‌expression‌ ‌has‌ ‌changed‌ ‌for‌ ‌a‌ ‌second‌ ‌when‌ ‌she‌ ‌hears‌ ‌this‌ ‌last‌ ‌word.‌ ‌But‌ ‌she‌ ‌regain‌ ‌
composure‌ ‌right‌ ‌away.‌ ‌"And‌ ‌so...‌ ‌will‌ ‌you,‌ ‌if‌ ‌someone‌ ‌told‌ ‌you‌ ‌?"‌ ‌
 ‌ ‌
"Depends‌ ‌on‌ ‌the‌ ‌person,‌ ‌and‌ ‌how‌ ‌much‌ ‌I'm‌ ‌getting‌ ‌paid.‌ ‌I'm‌ ‌never‌ ‌gonna‌ ‌kill‌ ‌family‌ ‌or‌ ‌friends,‌ ‌
no‌ ‌matter‌ ‌how‌ ‌much‌ ‌I‌ ‌get‌ ‌paid."‌ ‌He‌ ‌says‌ ‌seriously.‌ ‌
 ‌ ‌
She‌ ‌smiles‌ ‌to‌ ‌him.‌ ‌But‌ ‌then‌ ‌discreetly‌ ‌swallowed‌ ‌and‌ ‌grabs‌ ‌a‌ ‌menu,‌ ‌appearing‌ ‌to‌ ‌plunge‌ ‌into‌ ‌it.‌ ‌
 ‌ ‌
He‌ ‌takes‌ ‌a‌ ‌sip‌ ‌of‌ ‌his‌ ‌water.‌ ‌"Of‌ ‌course,‌ ‌if‌ ‌I‌ ‌ever‌ ‌settled‌ ‌down‌ ‌a‌ ‌little,‌ ‌had‌ ‌someone‌ ‌to‌ ‌care‌ ‌for...‌ ‌
maybe‌ ‌I‌ ‌wouldn't‌ ‌kill."‌ ‌He‌ ‌muses‌ ‌obliviously.‌ ‌
 ‌ ‌
Looru‌ ‌looks‌ ‌up‌ ‌from‌ ‌the‌ ‌menu,‌ ‌staring‌ ‌at‌ ‌him.‌ ‌"You‌ ‌know...‌ ‌nobody‌ ‌should‌ ‌have‌ ‌to..."‌ ‌
She‌ ‌was‌ ‌interupted‌ ‌by‌ an elder waiter.‌ ‌


‌"Here‌ ‌we‌ ‌are‌ ‌young‌ ‌peoples.‌ ‌So‌ here‌ ‌we‌ ‌have‌ ‌a‌ ‌full‌ ‌meal‌ ‌for‌ ‌this‌ ‌Sir,‌ ‌and‌ ‌here‌ ‌a‌ ‌miso‌ ‌

 ‌ ‌
"Beaucoup‌ ‌d'autres‌ ‌langues‌ ‌ainsi,‌ ‌mademoiselle."‌ ‌He‌ ‌smiles.‌ ‌
 ‌ ‌
She‌ ‌was‌ ‌staring‌ ‌at‌ ‌him,‌ ‌appreciative.‌ ‌"Well‌ ‌I'm‌ ‌really‌ ‌surprised‌‌!‌ ‌You're‌ ‌someone‌ ‌full ‌of‌ ‌

 ‌ ‌
"I‌ ‌can‌ ‌speak‌ ‌or‌ ‌at‌ ‌least‌ ‌understand‌ ‌all‌ ‌languages.‌ ‌Wie‌ ‌wäre‌ ‌es‌ ‌mit‌ ‌Deutsch?‌ ‌O‌ ‌tal‌ ‌vez‌ ‌

 ‌ ‌
"Really‌‌?‌ ‌What‌ ‌is‌ ‌it‌?"‌ ‌She‌ ‌looks‌ ‌at‌ ‌him‌ ‌and‌ ‌seems‌ ‌really‌ ‌concentrate‌ ‌now‌. ‌
 ‌ ‌
He‌ ‌smiles‌ ‌and‌ ‌reaches‌ ‌into‌ ‌his‌ ‌hair,‌ ‌pulling‌ ‌out‌ ‌an‌ ‌industrial‌ ‌hammer.‌ ‌"Storage‌ ‌dimension‌ ‌in‌ ‌my‌ ‌
hair."‌ ‌He‌ ‌pulls‌ ‌the‌ ‌Ace‌ ‌of‌ ‌Hearts‌ ‌and‌ ‌offers‌ ‌it‌ ‌to‌ ‌her‌ ‌with‌ ‌a‌ ‌smile.‌ ‌
 ‌ ‌
Taking‌ ‌the‌ ‌card‌ ‌and‌ ‌looking‌ ‌it,‌ she ‌then‌ ‌looks‌ ‌at‌ ‌Midnight,‌ ‌and‌ ‌the‌ ‌card‌ ‌again‌ ‌"That's‌ ‌almost‌ ‌
unbelievable...‌ ‌it’s ‌as‌ ‌if‌ ‌you‌ ‌had...‌ ‌kind‌ ‌of‌ ‌magic‌ ‌hair!‌ ‌"‌ ‌She‌ ‌looks‌ ‌excited‌ ‌now‌. ‌
 ‌ ‌
"Indeed.‌ ‌Of‌ ‌course,‌ ‌only‌ ‌I‌ ‌know‌ ‌where‌ ‌everything‌ ‌is‌ ‌in‌ ‌there...‌ ‌someone‌ ‌else‌ ‌could‌ ‌get‌ ‌hurt."‌ ‌He‌ ‌
smiles.‌ ‌He‌ ‌pulls‌ ‌out‌ ‌a‌ ‌pack‌ ‌of‌ ‌cards‌ ‌and‌ ‌shows‌ ‌it‌ ‌to‌ ‌her,‌ ‌showing‌ ‌that‌ ‌the‌ ‌Ace‌ ‌of‌ ‌Hearts‌ ‌was‌ ‌
gone.‌ ‌
 ‌ ‌
She‌ ‌smiles‌ ‌brightly‌, ‌raising‌ ‌up‌ ‌the‌ ‌card‌ ‌she‌ ‌is‌ ‌holding.‌  ‌"I‌ ‌think‌ ‌I‌ ‌could‌ ‌almost‌ ‌write‌ ‌an‌ ‌entire‌ ‌
book‌ ‌on‌ ‌you‌ ‌at‌ ‌the‌ ‌end‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌day."‌ ‌
 ‌ ‌
He‌ ‌smiles.‌ ‌"Really?‌ ‌I‌ ‌could‌ ‌perform‌ ‌a‌ ‌theatrical‌ ‌movie‌ ‌with‌ ‌you‌ ‌tonight.‌ ‌Like‌ ‌Titanic."‌ ‌He‌ ‌winks.‌ ‌
 ‌ ‌
"Muuuh‌,  ‌no‌!‌ ‌Don't‌ ‌want‌ ‌you‌ ‌or‌ ‌me‌ ‌to‌ ‌die‌ ‌at‌ ‌the‌ ‌end‌‌!"‌ ‌She‌ ‌feigns‌ ‌to‌ ‌pout‌ ‌ "...‌ ‌ok‌ ‌and‌ ‌that's‌ ‌also‌ ‌because‌ ‌I‌ ‌don't‌ ‌swim‌ ‌really‌ ‌well‌."‌ ‌she‌ ‌laughs‌. ‌
 ‌ ‌
"Mm,‌ ‌too‌ ‌far‌ ‌in‌ ‌the‌ ‌story.‌ ‌More‌ ‌like‌ ‌the‌ ‌part‌ ‌where‌ ‌I‌ ‌paint‌ ‌you‌ ‌like‌ ‌a‌ ‌French‌ ‌girl."‌ ‌He‌ ‌winks.‌ ‌
 ‌ ‌
"Uh‌ ‌?"‌ ‌She‌ ‌blushes‌ ‌again‌ ‌strongly‌ ‌but‌ ‌finally‌ ‌manages‌ ‌to‌ ‌says‌ ‌"Don't‌ ‌you‌ ‌think‌ ‌I've‌ ‌been‌ ‌
naked‌ enough ‌today‌?"‌ ‌
 ‌ ‌
"You're‌ ‌cuter‌ ‌when‌ ‌you‌ ‌blush."‌ ‌He‌ ‌smiles.‌ ‌"That's‌ ‌the‌ ‌only‌ ‌reason‌ ‌I‌ ‌like‌ ‌you‌ ‌topless‌ ‌so‌ ‌far.‌ ‌Not‌ ‌
for‌ ‌your‌ ‌body,‌ ‌but‌ ‌your‌ ‌beauty."‌ ‌
 ‌ ‌
Her ‌eyes‌ ‌widen, her face growing redder.‌ ‌She‌ weakly attempts ‌to‌ ‌catch‌ ‌a‌ ‌sushi‌ ‌with‌ ‌her‌ ‌chopsticks,‌ ‌but‌ ‌because‌ ‌she‌ ‌is‌ ‌stunned ‌by‌ ‌midnight's‌ ‌words,‌ ‌she‌ ‌misses‌ ‌her‌ ‌mouth‌ ‌and‌ ‌ends‌ ‌with‌ ‌a‌ ‌lot‌ ‌of‌ ‌rice‌ ‌grains‌ ‌around‌ ‌it.‌ ‌"Oh‌ ‌my..."‌ ‌she‌ squeaks, ‌holding‌ ‌her‌ ‌arm‌ ‌toward‌ ‌her‌ ‌towel‌. ‌
 ‌ ‌
He‌ ‌smiles‌ ‌and‌ ‌reaches‌ ‌over,‌ ‌brushing‌ ‌her arm ‌and‌ ‌flicking‌ ‌away‌ ‌the‌ ‌rice.‌ ‌"There‌ ‌you‌ ‌go."‌ ‌
 ‌ ‌
“Thank‌ ‌you...‌” ‌She‌ ‌says awkwardly ‌looking‌ ‌down‌ ‌to‌ ‌her‌ ‌plate,‌ ‌feeling‌ ‌a‌ ‌little‌ ‌nervous‌ ‌right‌ ‌now,‌ ‌without‌ ‌knowing‌ ‌why.‌ ‌She‌ ‌pick‌ ‌up an‌ other‌ ‌sushi.‌ ‌
 ‌ ‌
He‌ ‌smiles‌ ‌and‌ ‌grabs‌ ‌her‌ ‌sushi‌ ‌with‌ ‌his‌ ‌chopsticks.‌ ‌"Your‌ ‌hands‌ ‌are‌ ‌shaking.‌ ‌Here..."‌ ‌He‌ ‌moves‌ ‌
it‌ ‌to‌ ‌her‌ ‌mouth‌ ‌gently.‌ ‌
 ‌ ‌
"What‌ ‌are‌ ‌you‌ ‌do~hmf"‌ ‌She‌ ‌squeaks ‌while‌ ‌the‌ ‌sushi‌ ‌entered‌ ‌her‌ ‌mouth‌. ‌
 ‌ ‌
He‌ ‌smiles‌ ‌and‌ ‌gently‌ ‌flicks‌ ‌rice‌ ‌off‌ ‌her‌ ‌lip‌ ‌with‌ ‌his‌ ‌thumb.‌ ‌
 ‌ ‌
She‌ ‌blinks‌, blushing shyly. ‌"Thank‌ ‌you…"‌‌Then‌ ‌she‌ ‌broke‌ ‌the‌ ‌eye-connection‌  ‌"I'm‌ ‌feeling‌ ‌as‌ ‌if‌ ‌I‌ ‌actually‌ ‌spent‌ ‌all‌ day‌ ‌thanking‌ ‌you."‌ ‌she‌ ‌adds‌ ‌with‌ ‌a‌ ‌little‌ ‌nervous‌ ‌laugh‌. ‌
 ‌ ‌
"It's‌ ‌cute.‌ ‌Just‌ ‌like‌ ‌you've‌ ‌embraced‌ ‌Japanese‌ ‌with‌ ‌your‌ ‌little‌ ‌'hums'‌ ‌and‌ ‌'hus'."‌ ‌He‌ ‌smiles teasingly,‌ plucking‌ ‌another‌ ‌sushi‌ ‌from‌ ‌her‌ ‌plate‌ ‌and‌ ‌moving‌ ‌it‌ ‌to‌ ‌her‌ ‌mouth.‌ ‌
 ‌ ‌
Pink‌ ‌on‌ her ‌cheeks,‌ ‌she‌ ‌squints‌ ‌a‌ ‌little‌ ‌looking‌ ‌at‌ ‌the‌ ‌approaching‌ ‌sushi‌ ‌"Uh..‌ ‌You‌ ‌don't‌ ‌have‌ ‌to‌ ‌do‌ ‌that...‌ ‌I'm‌ ‌ok‌ ‌now,‌ ‌my‌ ‌hand‌ ‌won't‌ ‌shake‌ ‌anymore…"‌ ‌
 ‌ ‌
"Don't‌ ‌have‌ ‌to,‌ ‌maybe.‌ ‌But‌ ‌I‌ ‌can't‌ ‌help‌ ‌but‌ ‌want‌ ‌to."‌ ‌He‌ ‌smiles‌ ‌gently,‌ ‌placing‌ ‌it‌ ‌in‌ ‌her‌ ‌mouth‌ ‌
before‌ ‌she‌ ‌closed‌ ‌it.‌ ‌
 ‌ ‌
Her‌ ‌eyes‌ ‌widened‌ ‌from‌ ‌the‌ ‌surprise‌ ‌when‌ ‌the‌ ‌second‌ ‌sushi‌ ‌entered‌ ‌in‌ ‌her‌ ‌mouth.‌ ‌But‌ ‌she‌ ‌
closes her mouth ‌and‌ ‌eat‌s ‌it‌. ‌
 ‌ ‌
He‌ ‌smiles‌ ‌and‌ ‌moves‌ ‌back‌ ‌to‌ ‌his‌ ‌food,‌ ‌eating‌ ‌it‌ ‌quickly‌ ‌but‌ ‌precisely.‌ ‌
 ‌ ‌
She‌ ‌does‌ ‌the‌ ‌same,‌ ‌discretley‌ ‌looking‌ ‌at‌ ‌his‌ ‌controlled‌ ‌movements.‌ ‌
 ‌
The waiter‌ ‌returns with a smile "Would‌ ‌these‌ ‌young‌ ‌people‌ ‌like‌ ‌a‌ ‌déssert?"‌ ‌
 ‌ ‌
"Yes."‌ ‌Midnight‌ ‌smiles,‌ ‌ordering‌ ‌some‌ ‌dessert‌ ‌for‌ ‌them.‌ ‌
 ‌ ‌
"You‌ ‌know,‌ it’s ‌funny.‌ ‌When‌ ‌people‌ ‌look‌ ‌at‌ ‌you‌ ‌we‌ ‌could‌ ‌almost‌ ‌think‌ ‌it's‌ ‌a‌ ‌smiling‌ ‌Shadow...‌ ‌
which‌ ‌is‌ ‌really‌ ‌a‌ ‌weird‌ ‌thing‌ ‌considering‌ ‌he‌ ‌‌never‌ ‌smiles"‌ ‌She‌ ‌says‌, ‌smiling‌. ‌
 ‌ ‌
"Maybe‌ ‌that's‌ ‌why‌ ‌I‌ ‌do‌ ‌it,‌ ‌to‌ ‌piss‌ ‌him‌ ‌off."‌ ‌He‌ ‌smirks.‌ ‌
 ‌ ‌
She‌ ‌laughs‌ ‌with amusement.
 ‌ ‌
He‌ ‌finishes‌ ‌his‌ ‌meal‌ ‌shortly‌ ‌after‌ ‌that‌ ‌with‌ ‌a‌ ‌mysterious‌ ‌smile.‌ ‌
 ‌ ‌
"Oh...‌ ‌it‌ ‌should‌ ‌be‌ ‌late.."‌ ‌she‌ ‌says‌ ‌looking‌ ‌at‌ ‌the‌ ‌dark‌ ‌sky‌. ‌
 ‌ ‌
He‌ ‌looks‌ ‌up‌ ‌too.‌ ‌"Yeah...‌ ‌I‌ ‌don't‌ ‌think‌ ‌you‌ ‌should‌ ‌head‌ ‌home‌ ‌though,‌ ‌if‌ ‌you‌ ‌live‌ ‌at‌ ‌your‌ ‌studio."‌ ‌
 ‌ ‌
"Why‌ ‌not‌ ‌?"‌ ‌She‌ ‌turns‌ ‌toward‌ ‌him,‌ ‌surprised.‌ ‌"Well...‌ ‌That's‌ ‌true‌ ‌I‌ ‌lost‌ ‌myself‌ ‌earlier,‌ ‌but‌ ‌I‌ ‌think‌ ‌
could‌ ‌find‌ ‌my‌ ‌way‌ ‌this‌ ‌time."‌ ‌
 ‌ ‌
"Well‌ ‌yeah...‌ ‌but‌ ‌don't‌ ‌forget‌ ‌you‌ ‌were‌ ‌seen‌ ‌with‌ ‌me.‌ ‌You‌ ‌could‌ ‌be‌ ‌seen‌ ‌as‌ ‌my‌ ‌accomplice."‌ ‌He‌ ‌
frowns.‌ ‌
 ‌ ‌
She‌ ‌looks‌ ‌at‌ ‌him,‌ ‌mouth‌ ‌half‌ ‌open,‌ ‌not‌ ‌really‌ ‌knowing‌ ‌how‌ ‌to‌ ‌react‌ ‌at‌ ‌this‌ ‌information.‌ ‌But‌ ‌she‌ ‌
shakes‌ ‌her‌ ‌head‌ ‌and‌ ‌smiles as ‌she‌ ‌answers‌, ‌"Well..‌ ‌I'm‌ ‌sure‌ ‌they‌ ‌won't‌ ‌be‌ ‌interested‌ ‌in‌ ‌me." ‌She‌ ‌smiles‌ ‌"And...‌ ‌If‌ ‌something‌ ‌happen,‌ ‌I‌ ‌sure‌ ‌will‌ ‌defend‌ ‌myself‌‌!"‌ ‌She‌ declares, ‌frowning‌ ‌and‌ ‌raising‌ ‌a‌ ‌fist‌.
 ‌ ‌
He‌ ‌smiles.‌ ‌"That's‌ ‌awesome.‌ ‌However...‌ ‌I‌ ‌think‌ ‌you‌ ‌need‌ ‌some‌ ‌self-defense‌ ‌lessons‌ ‌before‌ ‌you‌ ‌
try‌ ‌anything.‌ ‌I'll‌ ‌escort‌ ‌you‌ ‌home."‌ ‌
 ‌ ‌
She‌ ‌blushes‌ ‌to‌ ‌be‌ ‌percieved‌ ‌as‌ ‌so‌ ‌weak‌ ‌"Well...‌ ‌I‌ ‌think‌ ‌there‌ ‌is‌ ‌nothing‌ ‌I‌ ‌can‌ ‌do‌ ‌to‌ ‌stop‌ ‌you‌ ‌
then...‌ ‌"‌ ‌
 ‌ ‌
"Unless...‌ ‌you‌ ‌can‌ ‌take‌ ‌me‌ ‌to‌ ‌the‌ ‌ground‌ ‌once.‌ ‌Then‌ ‌you‌ ‌have‌ ‌me‌ ‌convinced."‌ ‌He‌ ‌smiles, standing and turning around to look for the waiter.‌ ‌
 ‌ ‌
"...‌ ‌Not‌ ‌funny."‌ ‌she‌ ‌says,‌ ‌apparently‌ ‌sulking....‌ ‌ ‌"But‌ ‌maybe‌ ‌I‌ ‌could‌‌!"‌ ‌She‌ ‌suddenly‌ ‌turns‌ ‌over‌ ‌and‌ ‌jumps‌ ‌on‌ ‌Midnight's‌ ‌back,‌ ‌a‌ ‌determined‌ ‌expression‌ ‌on‌ ‌her‌ ‌face‌. ‌
 ‌ ‌
He‌ ‌laughs‌ ‌and‌ ‌pays ‌the‌ ‌bill with cash.‌ ‌"Very‌ ‌well,‌ ‌let's‌ ‌try."‌ ‌He‌ ‌warps‌ ‌them‌ ‌to‌ ‌Central‌ ‌Park‌ ‌so‌ ‌he‌ ‌wouldn't‌ ‌hurt‌ ‌anyone.‌ ‌
 ‌ ‌
She‌ ‌falls‌ ‌on‌ ‌her‌ ‌ass,‌ ‌a‌ ‌little‌ ‌dizzy‌ ‌"Uh..‌. what an ‌unexpected‌ ‌warp..."‌ ‌She‌ ‌looks‌ ‌around‌ curiously. ‌"The‌ ‌Park‌?"‌ ‌
 ‌ ‌
"Yeah."‌ ‌He‌ ‌smiles.‌ ‌He‌ ‌leans‌ ‌in‌ ‌a‌ ‌little,‌ ‌bending‌ ‌down‌ ‌with‌ ‌a‌ ‌small‌ ‌smirk.‌ ‌"Oh,‌ ‌and‌ ‌before‌ ‌we‌ ‌get‌ ‌
started...‌ ‌nice‌ ‌panties."‌ ‌
 ‌ ‌
"Eh‌?"‌ ‌She‌ blinks and looks ‌down,‌ ‌now‌ ‌noticing‌ ‌that‌ ‌her‌ ‌skirt‌ ‌was‌ ‌lifted‌ ‌"Ah‌ ‌!!"‌ ‌She‌ ‌quickly‌ ‌
replaces‌ ‌it‌ ‌with‌ ‌her‌ ‌two‌ ‌hands.‌ ‌Trying‌ ‌to‌ ‌regain‌ ‌composure‌ ‌she‌ ‌asks ‌"And‌ ‌now‌?"‌ ‌
 ‌ ‌
"Now, you‌ ‌take‌ ‌me‌ ‌to‌ ‌the‌ ‌ground‌ ‌and‌ ‌give‌ ‌me‌ ‌a‌ ‌punch.‌ ‌One‌ ‌or‌ ‌the‌ ‌other‌ ‌doesn't‌ ‌count,‌ ‌you‌ ‌have‌ ‌to‌ ‌do‌ ‌both."‌ ‌He‌ ‌smiles.‌ ‌
 ‌ ‌
"Uh‌ ‌wait‌…!‌ ‌I‌ ‌won't‌ ‌give‌ ‌you‌ ‌a‌ ‌punch‌‌!"‌ ‌She‌ ‌says‌ ‌sincerely‌, sweating. ‌
 ‌ ‌
He‌ ‌smiles.‌ ‌"Then...‌ ‌how‌ ‌about‌ ‌a‌ ‌kiss‌ ‌on‌ ‌the‌ ‌cheek?‌ ‌I‌ ‌can't‌ ‌make‌ ‌it‌ ‌too‌ ‌easy."‌ ‌
 ‌ ‌
She‌ ‌smiles‌ ‌"Then‌ ‌I‌ ‌guess‌ ‌I‌ ‌could‌ ‌take‌ ‌you‌ ‌to‌ ‌the‌ ‌ground."‌ ‌She‌ ‌spreads‌ ‌her‌ ‌legs‌ ‌slightly‌ ‌to‌ ‌get‌ ‌
into‌ ‌a‌ ‌kind‌ ‌of‌ ‌fighting‌ ‌stance,‌ ‌now‌ ‌showing‌ ‌a‌ ‌really‌ ‌focused‌ ‌expression‌. ‌
 ‌ ‌
He‌ ‌smiles‌ ‌and‌ ‌nods.‌ ‌"Take‌ ‌me‌ ‌to‌ ‌the‌ ‌ground."‌ ‌
 ‌ ‌
She‌ ‌acquiesces and ‌takes‌ ‌a‌ ‌great‌ ‌breath,‌ and ‌opening‌ ‌her‌ ‌eyes‌ ‌she‌ ‌rushes‌ ‌torward‌ ‌Midnight.‌ ‌She‌ ‌throws‌ ‌her‌ ‌two‌ ‌arms‌ ‌forward,‌ ‌intending‌ ‌to‌ ‌grab‌ ‌his‌ ‌shoulders‌ ‌
 ‌ ‌
He‌ ‌ducks‌ ‌and‌ ‌grabs‌ ‌her‌ ‌waist,‌ ‌jumping‌ ‌and‌ ‌performing‌ ‌a‌ ‌triple‌ ‌frontflip‌ ‌before‌ ‌landing‌ ‌with‌ ‌her‌ ‌
behind‌ ‌him,‌ ‌her‌ ‌skirt‌ ‌embarrassingly‌ ‌sticking‌ ‌up‌ ‌to‌ ‌her‌ ‌top,‌ ‌leaving‌ ‌her‌ ‌panties‌ ‌exposed.‌ ‌He‌ ‌
whistles‌ ‌and‌ ‌smirks.‌ ‌"Got‌ ‌to‌ ‌do‌ ‌better‌ ‌than‌ ‌that,‌ ‌Cutie."‌ ‌
 ‌ ‌
"Aah…"‌ ‌She‌ ‌replaces‌ ‌her‌ ‌skirt‌ ‌one‌ ‌more‌ ‌time.‌ ‌She‌ ‌could‌ ‌feel‌ ‌héat‌ ‌coming‌ ‌to‌ ‌her‌ ‌face‌ ‌again,‌ ‌but‌ ‌
she‌ ‌turns‌ ‌around‌. ‌"I ‌wàs‌ ‌just‌ ‌warming‌ ‌up…"‌ ‌She‌ ‌runs‌ ‌toward‌ ‌him‌ ‌again‌ ‌and‌ ‌manages‌ ‌to‌ ‌grab‌ ‌his‌ ‌left‌ ‌arm,‌ ‌starting‌ ‌to‌ ‌pull‌ ‌on‌ ‌it.‌ ‌


He's‌ ‌a‌ ‌wall,‌ ‌not‌ ‌moving.‌ ‌He‌ ‌smiles‌ ‌at‌ ‌her,‌ ‌watching‌ ‌her‌ ‌tug‌ ‌at‌ ‌his‌ ‌arm.‌ ‌He‌ ‌smiles‌ ‌and‌ ‌leans‌ ‌in,‌ ‌
kissing‌ ‌her‌ ‌nose.‌ ‌"Try‌ ‌harder."‌ ‌He‌ ‌smiles.‌ ‌
 ‌ ‌
Looru‌ ‌was‌ ‌surprised‌ ‌by‌ ‌the‌ ‌little‌ ‌kiss,‌ ‌and‌ ‌she‌ ‌releases‌ ‌a‌ ‌little‌ ‌her‌ ‌grip‌ ‌while‌ ‌she‌ ‌was‌ ‌still‌ ‌
tugging,‌ ‌which‌ ‌had‌ ‌for‌ ‌effect‌ ‌to‌ ‌make‌ ‌her‌ ‌fall‌ ‌backwards to the ground.‌ ‌She‌ ‌stares‌ ‌at‌ ‌him‌ with a soft pout. ‌"Th-that‌ ‌was‌n’t‌ ‌fair‌‌!"‌ ‌
 ‌ ‌
"I‌ ‌never‌ ‌said‌ ‌I‌ ‌couldn't‌ ‌do‌ ‌anything."‌ ‌He‌ ‌smirks.‌ ‌
 ‌ ‌
She‌ ‌grumbles‌ ‌and,‌ ‌still‌ ‌on‌ ‌the‌ ‌floor,‌ ‌she‌ ‌stretches‌ ‌one‌ ‌of‌ ‌her‌ ‌leg‌s ‌between‌ ‌Midnight's‌ ‌ones,‌ ‌
hoping‌ ‌to‌ ‌makes‌ ‌him‌ ‌lose‌ ‌a‌ ‌little‌ ‌his‌ ‌balance‌ ‌
 ‌ ‌
Midnight‌ ‌smiles‌ ‌and‌ ‌hooks‌ ‌a‌ ‌foot‌ ‌around‌ ‌her‌ ‌ankle,‌ ‌yanking‌ ‌her‌ ‌towards‌ ‌him.‌ ‌He‌ ‌picks‌ ‌her‌ ‌up‌ ‌
mid-slide,‌ ‌around‌ ‌the‌ ‌hips.‌ ‌But,‌ ‌since‌ ‌he‌ ‌had‌ ‌made‌ ‌her‌ ‌slide‌ ‌towards‌ ‌him,‌ ‌he‌ ‌had‌ ‌inadvertently‌ ‌
made‌ ‌her‌ ‌skirt‌ ‌ride‌ ‌up‌ ‌before‌ ‌he‌ ‌did‌ ‌so,‌ ‌and‌ ‌so‌ ‌now‌ ‌held‌ ‌her‌ ‌thighs‌ ‌under‌ ‌her‌ ‌skirt,‌ ‌his‌ ‌gloved‌ ‌
hands‌ ‌touching‌ ‌her‌ ‌flesh.‌ ‌
 ‌
"Kyaa‌!"‌ ‌She‌ ‌yelps‌ ‌while‌ ‌she‌ ‌was‌ ‌sliding.‌ ‌The‌ ‌action‌ ‌was‌ ‌really‌ ‌fast,‌ ‌so‌ ‌she‌ ‌doesn’t even‌ ‌realize ‌how‌ ‌she‌ ‌was‌ ‌now‌ ‌in‌ ‌this‌ ‌new‌ ‌position,‌ ‌grabbed‌ ‌under‌ ‌her‌ ‌skirt‌ ‌by‌ ‌Midnight.‌ ‌She‌ ‌unconsciously‌ ‌starts‌ ‌to‌ ‌swing‌ ‌her‌ ‌legs,‌ ‌and‌ ‌attempts ‌a‌ ‌knock‌ ‌with‌ ‌her‌ ‌knee‌ ‌on‌ ‌his‌ ‌belly.‌ ‌That‌ ‌was‌n’t‌ ‌
really‌ ‌enough‌ ‌to‌ ‌actually‌ ‌hurt‌ ‌him,‌ ‌thought.‌ ‌
 ‌ ‌
He‌ ‌smiles‌ ‌and‌ ‌leans‌ ‌in,‌ ‌his‌ ‌forehead‌ ‌and‌ ‌nose‌ ‌touching‌ ‌hers‌ ‌as‌ ‌his‌ ‌eyelids‌ ‌lower‌ ‌and‌ ‌he‌ ‌
smiles‌ ‌gently.‌ ‌"Having‌ ‌fun‌ ‌yet?‌ ‌I‌ ‌know‌ ‌I‌ ‌am."‌ ‌
 ‌ ‌
She‌ ‌blushes‌ ‌but‌ ‌adds‌ ‌frowning‌, ‌"I'm‌ ‌not‌ ‌giving‌ ‌up‌ ‌yet‌‌!".‌ ‌With‌ ‌one‌ ‌hand‌ ‌on‌ ‌his‌ ‌chest‌ ‌she‌ ‌pushes‌ ‌
him‌ ‌back‌ ‌while‌ ‌she‌ ‌was‌ ‌trying‌ ‌with‌ ‌the‌ ‌other‌ ‌one‌ ‌to‌ ‌remove‌ ‌Midnight's‌ ‌grip‌ ‌on‌ ‌her‌ ‌thighs‌. ‌


"Eep!"‌ ‌As‌ ‌he‌ ‌gets‌ ‌pushed‌ ‌back,‌ ‌he‌ ‌tries‌ ‌to‌ ‌reassure‌ ‌his‌ ‌grip‌ ‌on‌ ‌her‌ ‌to‌ ‌not‌ ‌hurt‌ ‌her,‌ ‌grabbing‌ ‌her‌ ‌
panties‌ ‌instead.‌ ‌He‌ ‌stumbles‌ ‌back‌ ‌from‌ ‌her‌ ‌push,‌ ‌and‌ ‌when‌ ‌he‌ ‌recovers,‌ ‌he‌ ‌blinks‌ ‌and‌ ‌looks‌ ‌at‌ ‌
what‌ ‌he's‌ ‌holding,‌ ‌which‌ ‌wasn't‌ ‌her.‌ ‌He‌ ‌gulps‌ ‌and‌ ‌blushes‌ ‌vividly,‌ ‌realizing‌ ‌what‌ ‌he's‌ ‌holding.‌ ‌
 ‌ ‌
 ‌ ‌
She‌ ‌sits up from the ground,‌ ‌feeling‌ ‌the‌ ‌grass‌ ‌abnormally‌ ‌on‌ ‌parts‌ ‌of‌ ‌her‌ ‌skin‌ ‌where‌ ‌it‌ ‌shouldn't,‌ ‌just‌ ‌below‌ ‌her‌ ‌skirt.‌ ‌It‌ ‌takes‌ ‌her‌ ‌a‌ ‌few‌ ‌seconds‌ ‌to‌ ‌realize‌ ‌what‌ ‌was‌ ‌missing.‌ ‌Because‌ ‌something‌ ‌was‌ ‌actually‌ ‌missing.‌ ‌She‌ ‌slowly‌ ‌raise‌ ‌her‌ ‌head‌ ‌toward‌ ‌Midnight,‌ ‌standing‌ ‌in‌ ‌front‌ ‌of‌ ‌her.‌ ‌He‌ ‌was‌ ‌currently‌ ‌holding‌ ‌her‌ ‌panties‌ ‌on‌ ‌his‌ ‌hand,‌ ‌a‌ ‌really‌ ‌stange‌ ‌expression‌ ‌on‌ ‌his‌ ‌face.‌ ‌She‌ ‌closes‌ ‌her‌ ‌eyes‌ ‌with ‌embarassment,‌ ‌hiding‌ ‌her‌ ‌red‌ ‌face‌ ‌behind‌ ‌her‌ ‌hands.‌ ‌"MIDNIGHT‌ ‌!"‌ ‌
 ‌ ‌
He‌ ‌yelps,‌ ‌juggling‌ ‌the‌ ‌lingerie‌ ‌like‌ ‌it‌ ‌was‌ ‌on‌ ‌fire‌ ‌as‌ ‌he‌ ‌whimpers,‌ ‌"Sorrysorrysorry!!!"‌ ‌
 ‌ ‌
She‌ ‌stand‌s ‌up‌ and ‌goes ‌toward‌ ‌Midnight‌ ‌to‌ ‌get‌ ‌it‌ ‌back,‌ ‌but‌ ‌she‌ ‌stumbles‌ ‌against‌ ‌a‌ ‌tuft‌ ‌of‌ ‌grass,‌ ‌
falling‌ ‌on‌ ‌him,‌ ‌and‌ ‌making‌ ‌him‌ ‌fall‌ ‌backwards‌ ‌with‌ ‌her.‌ ‌She‌ ‌was‌ ‌now‌ ‌half‌ ‌lied‌ ‌on‌ ‌him,‌ ‌while‌ ‌the‌ ‌
panties‌ ‌landing‌ ‌on‌ ‌the‌ ‌top‌ ‌of‌ ‌her‌ ‌head.‌ ‌
 ‌ ‌
He‌ ‌groans,‌ ‌dazed.‌ ‌When‌ ‌he‌ ‌recovers,‌ ‌he‌ ‌goes‌ ‌rigid‌ ‌as‌ ‌he‌ ‌sees‌ ‌the‌ ‌hedgehog‌ ‌girl‌ ‌inches‌ ‌from‌ ‌
his‌ ‌face.‌ ‌He‌ ‌gulps.‌ ‌He‌ ‌swears‌ ‌he‌ ‌can‌ ‌feel‌ ‌her‌ ‌naked‌ ‌lower‌ ‌body‌ ‌pressing‌ ‌against‌ ‌his‌ ‌pants‌ ‌in‌ ‌an‌ ‌
accidental‌ ‌but‌ ‌to‌ ‌any‌ ‌passerby‌ ‌suggestive‌ ‌way.‌ ‌Crazy‌ ‌in‌ ‌the‌ ‌back‌ ‌of‌ ‌his‌ ‌mind‌ ‌was‌ ‌determined‌ ‌to‌ ‌
not‌ ‌make‌ ‌it‌ ‌an‌ ‌accident,‌ ‌and‌ ‌he‌ ‌could‌ ‌feel‌ ‌something‌ ‌rising‌ ‌in‌ ‌his‌ ‌pants,‌ ‌poking‌ ‌at‌ ‌her‌ ‌bare‌ ‌skin.‌ ‌
 ‌ ‌
Looru‌ ‌opens‌ ‌her‌ ‌eyes,‌ ‌blushing‌ ‌more‌ ‌than‌ ‌never‌ ‌before,‌ ‌her‌ ‌hands‌ ‌laying‌ ‌on‌ ‌Midnight's‌ ‌torso.‌ ‌
“Alright.‌” ‌she‌ ‌thinks,‌ ‌”At‌ ‌least‌ ‌it‌ ‌couldn't‌ ‌be‌ ‌more‌ ‌embarrassing...‌” ‌That‌ ‌was‌ ‌before‌ ‌she‌ ‌could‌ ‌
feel ‌something‌ ‌raising‌ ‌somewhere‌ ‌below‌ ‌her.‌ ‌Her‌ ‌eyes‌ ‌widened‌. ‌”That‌ ‌can't‌ ‌be…” ‌With‌ ‌a‌ ‌
squeak,‌ ‌she‌ ‌straightens ‌up‌ ‌in‌ ‌order‌ ‌to‌ ‌stand‌ ‌up‌ ‌again‌. ‌
 ‌ ‌
Of‌ ‌course,‌ ‌she‌ ‌had‌ ‌straightened‌ ‌up‌ ‌right‌ ‌onto‌ ‌the‌ ‌rising,‌ ‌and‌ ‌it‌ ‌went‌ ‌even‌ ‌faster‌ ‌in‌ ‌response,‌ ‌
pushing‌ ‌on‌ ‌her‌ ‌flower‌ ‌as‌ ‌Midnight‌ ‌groans‌ ‌with‌ ‌a‌ ‌blush.‌ ‌"G...get‌ ‌off‌ ‌before...‌ ‌Crazy...!"‌ ‌
 ‌ ‌
She‌ ‌moaned‌ ‌at‌ ‌the‌ ‌contact.‌ ‌She‌ ‌keep‌ ‌going‌ ‌back,‌ ‌getting‌ ‌off‌ ‌him.‌ ‌She‌ ‌was‌ ‌now‌ ‌kneeling‌ ‌close‌ ‌
to‌ ‌him,‌ ‌looking‌ ‌anywhere‌ ‌but‌ ‌toward‌ ‌him.‌ ‌She‌ ‌stutters‌, ‌"I-I'm‌ ‌sorry...‌ ‌I‌ ‌...‌ ‌stumbled..."‌ ‌
 ‌ ‌
He‌ ‌stops‌ ‌her‌ ‌talking‌ ‌with‌ ‌a‌ ‌hiss‌ ‌and‌ ‌grabs‌ ‌her‌ ‌head,‌ ‌pressing‌ ‌his‌ ‌lips‌ ‌onto‌ ‌hers‌ ‌as‌ ‌a‌ ‌purr‌ ‌
emanates‌ ‌from‌ ‌his‌ ‌throat.‌ ‌
 ‌ ‌
Her eyes go wide ‌at‌ ‌the‌ ‌unexpected‌ ‌kiss.‌ ‌She‌ ‌could‌ ‌feel‌ ‌her‌ ‌face‌ ‌burning,‌ ‌as‌ ‌well‌ ‌as‌ ‌her‌ ‌chest,‌ ‌but‌ ‌she‌ ‌didn't‌ ‌resist,‌ ‌unable‌ ‌to‌ ‌move‌ ‌one‌ ‌muscle,‌ ‌as‌ ‌frozen.‌ ‌When‌ ‌Midnight‌ ‌pauses‌ ‌on‌ ‌the‌ ‌kiss,‌ ‌she‌ ‌murmurs‌ ‌"You‌ ‌know,‌ ‌I‌ ‌did‌ ‌it.‌ ‌I‌ ‌technically‌ ‌took‌ ‌you‌ ‌to‌ ‌the‌ ‌ground..."‌ ‌she‌ ‌smiles‌ ‌softly‌. ‌
 ‌ ‌
"And‌ ‌you‌ ‌gave‌ ‌me‌ ‌a‌ ‌kiss."‌ ‌He‌ ‌purrs.‌ ‌His‌ ‌tail‌ ‌wags‌ ‌as‌ ‌he‌ ‌brushes‌ ‌a‌ ‌hand‌ ‌on‌ ‌her‌ ‌cheek.‌ ‌"I‌ ‌guess‌ ‌
you‌ ‌can‌ ‌go‌ ‌home‌ ‌without‌ ‌me‌ ‌as‌ ‌a‌ ‌bodyguard..."‌ ‌
 ‌ ‌
"You‌ ‌know...‌ ‌Actually‌ ‌to‌ ‌be‌ ‌honest...‌ ‌I‌‌'m‌ ‌not‌ ‌really‌ ‌sure‌ ‌that‌ ‌next‌ ‌time‌ ‌my‌ ‌potentials‌ ‌oponents‌ ‌
will...‌ ‌"‌ ‌She‌ ‌pauses,‌ ‌blushing‌ ‌"Be‌ ‌distracted‌ ‌by‌ ‌pieces‌ ‌of‌ ‌lingerie."‌ ‌
 ‌ ‌
"Maybe‌ ‌not."‌ ‌He‌ ‌chuckles.‌ ‌"So,‌ ‌shall‌ ‌I‌ ‌show‌ ‌you‌ ‌more‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌city‌ ‌tomorrow?"‌ ‌
 ‌ ‌
"S-Sure‌ ‌!‌ ‌But...‌ ‌Don't‌ ‌you‌ ‌have‌ ‌any‌ ‌work‌ ‌tomorrow‌ ‌?‌ ‌I‌ ‌already‌ ‌monopolize‌d ‌your whole ‌day..."‌ ‌
 ‌ ‌
"Not‌ ‌until‌ ‌I‌ ‌get‌ ‌hired."‌ ‌He‌ ‌shrugs.‌ ‌"I‌ ‌make‌ ‌enough‌ ‌in‌ ‌between‌ ‌to‌ ‌keep‌ ‌a‌ ‌small‌ ‌family‌ ‌satisfied‌ ‌for‌ ‌
a‌ ‌few‌ ‌months."‌ ‌
 ‌ ‌
"Oh‌ ‌I‌ ‌see."‌ ‌She‌ ‌smiles‌ ‌"I'm‌ ‌happy‌!"‌ ‌She‌ ‌says‌ ‌looking‌ ‌at‌ ‌him‌ ‌with‌ ‌a‌ ‌little‌ ‌blush‌ ‌of‌ ‌happiness‌ ‌on‌ ‌her‌ ‌cheeks‌. ‌
 ‌ ‌
He‌ ‌smiles and stands.‌ ‌"Good,‌ ‌it's‌ ‌a‌ ‌date!"‌ ‌He‌ ‌kisses‌ ‌her‌ ‌cheek.‌ ‌"Oh...‌ ‌and‌ ‌you‌ ‌look‌ ‌cute‌ ‌with‌ ‌your‌ ‌panties‌ ‌on‌ ‌your‌ ‌head‌ ‌like‌ ‌that."‌ ‌He‌ ‌chuckles‌ ‌and‌ ‌warps‌ ‌away.‌ ‌
 ‌ ‌
"Eh‌!?"‌ ‌She‌ ‌raises‌ ‌her‌ ‌eyes‌ ‌and‌ ‌seeing‌ ‌it‌ ‌quickly‌ ‌get‌ ‌it‌ ‌off.‌ ‌When‌ ‌she‌ ‌turns‌ ‌her‌ ‌head‌ ‌again,‌ ‌
Midnight‌ ‌had‌ ‌already‌ ‌disappeared.‌ ‌She‌ ‌was‌ ‌now‌ ‌alone‌ ‌in‌ ‌the‌ ‌middle‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌park,‌ ‌still‌ ‌kneeling‌ ‌on‌ ‌the‌ ‌grass.‌ ‌"A...‌ ‌Date‌?"‌ ‌She‌ ‌blushes‌ ‌at‌ ‌the‌ ‌word.‌ ‌She‌ ‌shakes‌ ‌her‌ ‌head‌ ‌"Come‌ ‌on‌‌!‌ ‌Let's‌ ‌move‌ ‌a‌ ‌little‌‌!" ‌After‌ ‌having‌ ‌awkwardly‌ ‌put‌ ‌her‌ ‌panties back on,‌ ‌she‌ ‌went‌ ‌to‌ ‌her‌ ‌home,‌ ‌where‌ ‌she‌ ‌pull‌ed ‌on‌ ‌a‌ ‌night-dress‌ ‌and‌ ‌fell‌ ‌asleep.‌ ‌", "pools_count": 1, "title": "Eternally Yours, Chapter 3", "deleted": "f", "public": "t", "mimetype": "text/plain", "pagecount": "1", "rating_id": "1", "rating_name": "Mature", "ratings": [ { "content_tag_id": "2", "name": "Nudity", "description": "Nonsexual nudity exposing breasts or genitals (must not show arousal)", "rating_id": "1" } ], "submission_type_id": "12", "type_name": "Writing - Document", "guest_block": "t", "friends_only": "f", "comments_count": "0", "views": "89" }
