Mina was spending so much time on her computer what got Daniel curious about what she's been doing this whole time

-daniel: "what're you playing?"

-mina: "stardoll, we should try playing it together it's fun."

-daniel: "okay, let's do it now."

-mina: "really?? Okay I'll create an account for you. Pick a player and tell me the username you want."

-daniel: "let me just.."

He put his glasses on so he can see and read what was on the screen more clearly

"i want this asian man i like his fit and for the username.. "mina's simp""

-mina: "aaawn! You're so cute hahahha be for real"

-daniel: "im serious!"

-mina: "okay"

She looked back at her computer and started typing the username

"danny you know.. you look fine with and without the glasses, I don't know what to pick.. with glasses daniel or without the glasses daniel."

-daniel: "they're both yours anyway"

-mina: "i noticed that you only use them when you read or write"

-daniel: "Yea that's because I can't see close up."

-mina: "I figured as much"

-Daniel: "When i was a kid i needed to wear them all the time but my eyesight got better now. Kids used to call me four eyes and broke my glasses countless times."

-mina: "what did you do about it?"

-daniel: "nothing, Uncle richard used to go with me and talk to them to make them stop but they said they don't have to listen to him and i have no right to complain to him since he's not my father."

-mina: "pfft they're so mean. If you knew kai back then he'd kill them."

-daniel: "haha im sure he would. I thought they were right, i grew up believing that since my parents are gone i don't have nobody left to talk to or share my problems with, that's why i never spoke up against anyone till it became a habit. But in fact Uncle richard is more than a father to me.. all of my neighbors loved me like their son."

-mina: "i'm sorry.. and im happy you have people like them to have your back."

-daniel: "honestly if it wasn't for them I'd not even make it to hope's peak academy."

-mina: "it was all planned so we can meet."

-daniel: "true.."

-mina: "look, everytime kali calls you mina's simp.. I can't.."

Mina found it funny and couldn't stop laughing at how Kali, the guidance bot was calling Daniel's stardoll "mina's simp".

-daniel: "mina's simp ready to shop! Lessgooo"

-mina: "hahahah stopppp!!"

-daniel: "i want this leather jacket."

-mina: "we can't buy expensive stuff you need to save money for upcoming missions"

-daniel: "i've been saving up my entire life i wanna live like a king in the game at least."

-mina: "you're a king, shut up."

#week 5#

.

Mina and daniel were laying on the bed, she was resting her head on his chest. She could hear his heart beat clearly while he had his arms wrapped around her waist.

-mina: "danny,"

-daniel: "yes mina? Hungry again?"

-mina: "yes but i want you"

-daniel: "I'm with you"

She got on top of him and said in a more serious tone

-mina: "I SAID I WANT YOU!"

His eyes widened as he blushed slightly

-Daniel: "i- i hope im not getting you wrong.."

-mina: "you're not,"

-daniel: "i don't mean to turn you down but..

i cannot"

-mina: "please!"

He switched positions becoming the one on top of her now.

-daniel: "stop doing this to me.."

Daniel was completely caught off guard, she could feel how his breath was growing heavier as his face turned bright red.

-mina: "don't hold back"

-daniel: "you're not completely healed yet"

-mina: "which is why i want you.. your warmth, your voice in my ear, your love, your touch.. will heal me"

-daniel: "im sorry mina.."

-mina: ".. that's what i thought."

-daniel: "huh?"

-mina: "you feel disgusted with me"

-daniel: "what're you talking about?"

-mina: "it's because i was raped and you're not going to be my first. And not only one but by three strangers.. whenever you look at me this is all you see and think about. It grosses you out doesn't it?. I appreciate everything you did for me.. but if you think im disgusting which is understandable, you can leave.. and find.. someone new"

She smiled at him through the pain and tears

"you must be tired of me and how I've been lately so here im setting you free.."

-daniel: "what're you saying? I just don't wanna hurt you. You had a very traumatic experience, im afraid if i do anything I'll trigger negative feelings inside you and ruin the progress you got to. Im afraid I won't be enough. Im afraid im not giving enough. Im afraid you're asking for it just because you feel down and I don't wanna feel like im using your condition.. im afraid you'll regret doing it with me by morning."

-mina: ".. im sorry, i didn't know you were putting so much pressure on yourself. And maybe yes.. i did ask for it out of sadness but out of love too.. I want you danny, because I love you and because i know that you can take away all the pain. i promise I won't regret it"

He wrapped his arms around her and held her tightly

-daniel: "i love you.."

-mina: "so is it a yes?"

-daniel: "we can't wait till marriage?"

-mina: "i don't know about you but i can't."

(-daniel: "is it really okay? What if she hates me for it later? What if this will hold her back from moving on? She's not mentally stable I can't..")

-mina: "you don't want me?"

-daniel: "there's a huge difference between

i don't want and I can't"

-mina: "why can't you?"

-daniel: "i don't know man, i don't wanna steal your innocence away."

Both of them giggled at what he said as they realized how much that sounded like kai.

-mina: "danny.."

she spaced out thinking to herself and didn't finish her sentence

("in spite of knowing that im his and im the one asking for it, he's still nervous and concerned about me.. and these guys.. they-")

As Daniel noticed that she was zoning out and not focused, he asked quietly so she doesn't panic

-daniel: "why're you silent? What're you thinking about?"

she then, unexpectedly grabbed a hold of his hair and pulled him in for a kiss.

-mina: "this is what i was thinking about."

He was taken by surprise that he didn't even close his eyes during the kiss as they widened

-daniel: "mina... Im sorry, im sweating so much this is embarrassing"

-mina: "i know! your hair's so wet and if you only could see your face!! It's so red im afraid you'll explode any minute now"

They laughed it off together,

Leaving all their worries aside

enjoying themselves and the moment,

Hoping for it to last

.

In the next morning,

Daniel woke up before mina, kissed her forhead and kept watching her asleep

(-daniel: "she's sleeping.. she wasn't having enough sleep lately. Just what did i do? Why? Im such a treacherous and an exploitative person.. I should've calmed her down and..")

While he was thinking to himself, Mina woke up

-mina: "good morning."

-daniel: "good.. morning."

-mina: "are you okay?"

-daniel: ".. i was just thinking.. how would we hide these bruises on our bodies."

-mina: "we wear hoodies"

-daniel: "h-how're you feeling?"

Daniel was so embarrassed,

He didn't know what to feel or think

But at that very moment, one thing was bothering him.. and that was that he fell asleep without putting anything on.

("This is so messed up why didn't i put my clothes back on before sleeping..")

Mina noticed how troubled Daniel looked but didn't care to ask since it was pretty obvious.. he's the shy type, everyone knows it

-mina: "im fine,"

*in the dinning room*

-gerald: "why're you wearing hoodies? you caught a cold or something?"

-daniel: "n-no.. but it's kinda cold today. Im sorry."

-gerald: "why're you sorry?"

-mina: "f-for doing a hoodies party without you."

-gerald: "haha it's alright."

-mina: "chill! You're making it obvious." She whispered to Daniel.

-daniel: "I can't! I may start begging him to forgive me and tell him about what i did to you!" He whispered back to her.

-gerald: "is there something wrong!?"

-daniel: "N-no e-everything's cool! Ahaha what a beautiful day!"

-gerald: "(what're they trying to hide?.. well looks like they don't want me to know so it can't be helped.)"

He thought to himself then addressed Daniel

"daniel."

-daniel: "YES SIR!"

-Gerald: "i want to discuss something with you later"

-daniel: "OKAY SIR!"

Gerald raised one eye brow as he found it confusing and funny how Daniel was talking as if he was in the army or something,

He then wiped his hands and left the room

-daniel: "damn.. im screwed. What could it possibly be? Did he know? Was i that loud last night?!"

-mina: "hahhahahahhahahaha"

-daniel: "you're laughing?? My heart dropped! Im so scared is it funny to you?"

-mina: "i- I can't hold it back look at you!!"

-daniel: "you'll understand when he kicks me out and stop us from seeing each other"

-mina: "nothing can stop us trust me."
