Their House

Whoa… shit, this planet really is advanced, isn't it?

That was what I thought when I first visited their home.

***

"Why don't you live with us?" She said loud and clear.

"Huh?"

"Yeah, I also recommend doing so." Sean agreed to her remark, and then continued, "Is that fine with you, Luke?" and then proceeded to ask Luke for consent.

"Huh, what?" He looked up at us, it seems he wasn't listening at all. What is he fidgeting with, I wonder?

"Luke, quit staying on your phone so much during important conversations, give it here!" Seren scolded him.

"Hey give it back! Tch, what?" He began sulking and then asked what the conversation was about.

"So, what do you think, is it alright if Elias lives with us?" she asked.

"Meh, it's all right with me. The more the merrier, isn't that right?" He said with a smile, "Now give me my phone back." He grabbed it as if an animal waiting impatiently for their food.

She dropped it off on his hands and then proceeded to move her gaze towards me, "Ya heard that? Now, let's pay what we got and head home."

"W-wait, wait… this whole conversation is being led without me even saying anything!" I refused to let them make choices for me when I barely just got to know their names.

Seren asked while gazing at me with her raven eyes, "Is there an issue?"

"N-no, it's just… I don't want to be a burden, I am new to this whole place, and I don't even have the basic knowledge." My eyes kept fidgeting around.

"We were the ones who invited you, we know what it takes and we will still keep asking you." Sean intervened.

I wiped my eyes jokingly as if I was crying, "You guys would do that for me?"

"Heh, is that even a matter of question?" Sean shrugged and then with a low tone as if dying, "Now let's go back home before I jump in front of a car…"

"Pff… Haha…" Surprisingly, I laughed. The time I am going to spend with them… might turn out to be fun.

***

Finally here. Let's begin with what the outside looks like, and then we'll see how the inside is too.

The house, a cubic-shaped one, is quite large too, around sixty square meters, but that's not important.

We got inside, Luke touched something and the foyer was now lit up, I could get a better look. The hall seemed to be stretched forward with pair of stairs at the end of it, while two doors, one on the right and one on the left were at opposite sides.

"Hah, I'm pooped, I want to go drink some water. You must be thirsty too, right, Elias?" Seren asked me, basically telling me to follow her.

"Now that you mention it, yeah, I'm really thirsty." I followed her, and we went through the right door.

It seemed something like a kitchen…? Yes, it is a kitchen, but damn, this world's furniture is too detailed. Everything is so refined, not even the dwarfs in my homeworld could do such perfect linings and designs.

"Here." She offered me something which one could see through.

"What is this?" I asked as I held the cylinder item that seemed to have the fluid called water in it.

"A water bottle?" She looked at me confused, "Ah, I'm sorry, I forgot there isn't plastic and such back in Nexus."

"The apology is accepted, but would you be willing to instruct me--ah, no I don't need help," I said while fiddling with the 'Water Bottle' and the trap came off by rotating it on the left.

Immediately, I gulped down the water.

"Be careful, don't get yourself tired since this is going to be a long night…" Seren trailed off with an enticing, low tone.

"Pwuh--Khca, khca!" the water I was still drinking flew out of my mouth and washed Sean over, while coughs followed after.

"Huh? What do you mean?!" I asked, shocked at what she said, ignoring Sean's retorts for being washed by my saliva.

"Hehe, you'll see later… at my room," She lowered her head while biting her nail softly.

"…"

Is she… by chance the type of girl who acts innocent and as if she's an airhead? But when the night comes she hunts males like a wolf?!!? Chill out, Elias, your fantasies are going too far…

"Don't get your hopes up, dumbass. She's just an idiot who doesn't know how to properly talk."

"What do you mean by that? Haha, you get it? Like that video. But wait, yeah, I know how to talk properly, hmph!"

"Yes, yes. I'm going to take a shower and sleep now. I'll see you all tomorrow. Again, Elias, I'll warn you. No matter what, don't get your hopes up. She just talks in a misleading way like that."

Hmmm, even when he advises me not to… I still can't help it!

"Well then, may we go to my room?" She said after Sean left.

"Yes… let's do so," I answered quietly.

***

Five minutes later, Sean was out of the 'Shower' and holed in his room.

"Elias, go to the right from my room and knock on that door, it is Sean's room. Ask him to give you his pajamas!" She instructed me on what to do so, "Oh, and don't come in until I tell you to," she also told me that.

Hmph, hmph, hmph. My breathing's becoming too erratic, I need to calm down. But my heart is going to explode.

I got in front of the white door and knocked two times quietly. "Sean, Seren told me to come here and ask for some pajamas… if that's alright with you…" I said quietly.

Some rumbling was heard beyond the door and around one minute and four seconds later he opened the gate, "Here they are. They are also unused so you don't have to worry about if they're clean or not."

I nodded as I smiled and said, "Thank you, truly for everything, thank you. That doesn't mean that I'm not skeptical of you guys and that I'll let my guard down, though."

"Haha, don't worry about it, be on guard as much as you want to. Until you realize that our sentiment and desire to be of help to you is genuine." He replied with a genuine smile.

I am surprised to see him smile. So far it was all with sarcasm or just goofing off, nothing so, real, I should say.

"I see, thank you again, and good night for today." I nodded again and made my way back to the former room I was in.

I changed into those pajamas and went in.

My pounding heart was still doing its job properly since I couldn't hear anything besides its thrums.

I grabbed the handle, pushed it down, and went inside the room… "Don't come in!!" A scream was heard by the young woman's lips and a hairbrush was thrown towards my forehead.

Damn, quite the aim she has? I thought before grabbing a hold of the brush centimeters before touching some strands of my hair.

Suddenly I was calm and… then I noticed from her arm, peeking out a pink, "Cherry?" I said without thinking and obviously closed the door.

I turned my back to it and rested, my eyes were closed and the etched smirk on my face suddenly opened into a gasp realizing what I just saw... I SAW HER BARREN CHEST, IN OTHER WORDS, BOOBS!?!?

How will I explain it to her…? She even told me to not come in without knocking properly and hearing her reply.

***

Soon after her voice was heard, calling out to me. "You may come in now!"

I opened the door and took a look at the room instead… Ah, the smell of flowers, muwhaha… wait, no Elias, you must apologize to Seren. I aimed my eyes toward the bed where she was resting on.

"So? Did you see?" she voiced her question instead, raising her lips while sulking.

"No, I swear I didn't!" Yes I did, I got a pretty good look at that.

"T-then that's fine." She stood up from her bed, her tone back to normal, and approached me.

Resting her left hand on my right shoulder, her mouth, almost touching my left ear as she said "Now, shall we do it?"
