Fulfilling Desires

[Day: Thursday]

[Time: Afternoon]

[Location: Matsugaya University]

I walked onto my campus and immediately it was like my presence captured the eyes of everyone around me. I was wearing a new outfit, this time Passion making it for me.

"Look at his jacket, that's designer class," One girl gossipped to her friend.

"Look at his shoes, bro is that custom?" A guy asked to his friend.

'Alright bro, isn't this what they call glazing?' I thought to myself.

"No for real, they're really gobbling it up, no gag. Pro champions." Lustie said.

"Isn't this what you both wanted?" Passion asked, her arms crossed and a smirk resting on her face.

[Being attracted to someone and glazing are in two different calibers. Could never catch me on my knees like that.]

'Alright bro.' I said to Lust-E.

As I made my way down the courtyard, I noticed Mark sitting alone with his laptop then decided to approach him. As I made my way closer to him, I could see his entire demeanor and style has changed. Going from a Jock persona to someone who's focused on themselves, I could see he was serious about changing.

"Yo," I said, giving Mark a gentle pat on his back.

Mark looked over at me then smiled, turning his attention back on his laptop. "Sup, bro. How was it up there?"

"A shit show." I chuckled softly, sitting beside him then gestured toward his laptop, noticing he was doing some classwork. "What are you working on?"

"Oh this? Just some missed assignments from Akira's class. How do you do it, man? You're like the only one passing her class with flying colors. Are you... you know smashing Akira?" Mark asked, now curious about the relationship between me and Akira.

"I mean... I'm not gonna say too much, but you do kinda have to turn your brain off for her class. I barely have any notes because everything on there is self explanatory," I said, trying my best to avoid the question.

"Sooo..." Mark questioned, raising an eyebrow. "Bro to bro, you can be honest with me man."

"Aye listen, I might've gotten busy..." I said cryptically, but Mark immediately caught on.

"Aye, I can't even hate...you got game my boy," Mark said as he gently pat my chest with the back of his hand, laughing softly.

I laughed along with him then soon we dabbed up each other for the first time. The dab up was so crisp, it surprised us so we went in for another dab.

~POW~

Another clean dab up that had heads turning thinking it was a gun, but no it was just the power of the dab up. Only a true brotherhood can start with a crispy dab up—

[Oh brother, where are you taking this dude? Bro started yapping about a dab up.]

'Yooo...Nah you out of pocket for disrupting the flow of the story like that. Nah, nerf her!' I thought to myself.

"That Fourth Wall Break was like Deadpool levels, Sukuna having Gege on speed dial type shit. Aye imma let it slide because that yap session was incredible." Lustie said, nodding her head.

Mark looked at me, noticing I was spaced out. "Alright bro, you're dragging it."

"Nah, my fault. Just had to think, we used to hate each other for real." I said, softly chuckling at the past memories.

"Low-key, I don't even know why I hated you so much. I was a bitch not gonna lie," Mark laughed softly. He checked the time on his laptop then began to pack up. "Alright man, I gotta head to the library to return some books."

"Oh word? I was actually planning to head there too," I said as I got up.

"Lemme guess, to see Habilee?" Mark teased as he packed his bags.

"Aye man, they got some fire manga in that place," I said, trying to play off the reason I'm going to the library.

"Hey, I'm not gonna tell. You do your think Cougar Hunter," Mark teased, playfully patting my chest before walking off.

[Friendship with Mark increased.]

"Cougar Hunter is a fire name low key." Lustie said.

"It was aight." Passion disagreed, crossing her arms.

[!!!Hater Alert!!! »Passion Level 10 Hater.«]

"Alright, AI." Passion said.

I chuckled softly and caught up to Mark, walking with him to the library. He knew tomorrow was my birthday and I would be busy with Gloria on tomorrow. I offered to hang out with him on Saturday after my birthday and he considered it.

As we walked into the library, we noticed a group of delinquents running around with a few novels that seemed to belong to Habilee. Habilee, in desperate fury, chased after these delinquents to get her novels back.

I looked over at Mark and he looked at me. I hurried forward then used my Luscious Presence to command the attention to fall on me. Everyone stopped what they were doing and focused on me. Habilee noticed me and let out a sigh of relief.

"Hand over the books and get out of here," I said with an authoritative tone, holding my hand out.

The delinquents immediately handed the novels to me and hurried off just as I demanded. I looked back at Habilee, giving her a smile and gave her the novels.

[Bond with Habilee Increased.]

"My hero, thank you," Habilee softly giggled then noticed Mark walking forward.

"This guy, am I right." Mark chuckled, placing his hand on my shoulder. "This man's nearly as scary as the Dean."

Habilee smiled at Mark then looked at me. "He does don a very commanding demeanor..~"

'That's so hot..' Habilee thought to herself.

Mark looked at me and noticed me glance at him. He chuckled and walked to the counter. "I promise my visit will be quick, then I'll let you two flirt and whatnot."

Habilee's cheeks became a bright red then she hurried behind the counter. "N-No need, take your time sir!"

I chuckled softly and decided to walk around the library for a bit. This library also served coffee and refreshments to anyone who comes here, plus they give out free pastries that come directly from Morning's Destiny. I love this library because of how cozy and welcoming it is here side from a few troublemakers.

As the time passed, I noticed Habilee was free and had some free time on her hands. I make my way over to her while she was reading then gently knocked on the counter. Habilee looked at me, her cheeks slowly becoming rosy, and sat up to look at me.

"Mhm?" She asked, wondering what I wanted.

"Think we can talk?" I asked, giving her my signature smile.

Habilee's heart fluttered then she nodded quickly, getting up to unlock her office door. She led me inside and acted natural so no one suspected anything. She pulled down the blinds to let other students know she was occupied.

"You're all jittery, Ms. Heart, it's just me..~" I gently teased, taking my seat in front of her desk.

"That's why I'm so jittery, it's because it's you. I was always wondering when you'd stop by, but you're always in some crazy adventure y'know.." Habilee said shyly, sitting down at her desk.

'I blame the plot, we do not fumble 10/10 baddies around here.' I thought to myself.

[Facts.]

"I apologize for that...It gets kinda hectic having to satisfy every girl, but today I have time for you..~" I said, leaning forward against her desk.

[Habilee's Affection Meter rose to 25%]

"Yeah?" She questioned, her tone sounding a bit flirty and curious.

"Come here.." I whispered.

Habilee leaned forward and her blush only grew bigger. I whispered softly in her ear and she gasped, covering her mouth and feeling a primal lust awaken inside her. She looked at me as if to ask if I was serious, and I gave her a silent nod with a wink.

"You're 100% serious? I-I mean...I just don't know what to say. I just don't want to get...caught you know." Habilee said with a bit of nervousness.

"Trust me, you won't get caught. Akira and I flirt practically any chance we get, and I'm sure the Dean could care less about what you do...outside of campus." I said, gently stroking her cheek.

[Charm EXP +3500]

[Habilee's Affection Meter rose to 50%]

"Mmm... alright. But I'm pretty sure the Dean likes you. That's probably how you got away with Akira..~" Habilee chuckled, sitting back in her seat.

I smirked, shrugging my shoulders lightly. "Who can say? I do have the respect of lots of peers now."

Habilee smiled at me, watching me grab one of the unnamed novels off her desk. "I don't know if you want to read those..."

"You were pretty in distress losing these. I am a bit curious about what's in here." I said as I opened the book. I read the first page and noticed it was all hand writing, and the author's name. "Wait. You're... Noelle Grant?"

Habilee chuckled softly, twirling a strands of her hair around her fingers. She was a bit silent before finally speaking. "Yeah... That's my government name anyway, but after a huge fight I had with my family, I basically legally changed my name to Habilee... Heart."

"Why do you still use Noelle Grant?" I asked, reading what all she wrote in the book.

"It's to let my family know that their daughter is still alive and well, thriving...well not thriving. My books may have had good sales, but...they aren't putting in numbers like I want." Habilee admitted, her tone soft and hesitant.

"I've been reading your books since highschool and I'm just now figuring out it's you?" I said with slight amusement.

"We didn't start talking until like maybe one or two weeks ago..~ Plus I don't share this information with people I don't trust.." Habilee said, a soft smile on her face as she looked at me.

I kept reading until I noticed it wasn't finished. I decided to reread a few pages then noticed the plot of the book was way different from her usual works. "So... Habilee, is this book about me perhaps?"

Habilee heard my teasing tone then grew shy immediately. She sightly twiddled her thumbs, not wanting to admit the truth. "Maybe? I mean...I don't only write fantasy genre. I might've... written a deep desire of mine in novel form.."

Passion looked at the book and crossed her arms. Her eyes scanned each word, a visual scene playing out in her mind. "Oh yeah, she wants you bad. I mean real bad..."

"Is it getting hot in here or is it just me?" Lustie sighed, using her wings to cool herself off.

"We have to think about this strategically, she isn't marked at all. So for tonight it will be just a date, but throughout this date, you make one of her desires a reality." Passion said, snapping her fingers.

A second Sigil formed on my arm and I looked at my watch.

[Mark of Passion Unlocked.]

[New Skill: Desire Exhibition]

[Skill Description: A weaker less potent version of Passion's Desire Manifestation. You can release the desires of a certain target as long as they have a strong desire. Can not grant wishes like Passion or Luckie.]

"Sorry, but Desire Manifestation is a Mastered Skill only~ You have not yet Mastered your Passion Trait, but I see you worthy enough to wield my Mark..~" Passion said.

I nodded to myself then looked at Habilee. "Hey, what time do you get off?"

Habilee looked at her computer, checking the time. "In about 30 minutes, why?"

"I want to take you on a date. Just me and you..~ I'll take you to do whatever you want tonight. Everything you desire will become reality.." I offered, an alluring smile tugging at my lips.

Habilee slightly closed her legs then looked down. "Y-Yeah..! I'd love to!"

I set her book down then stood up. "I'll pick you up at 5. Sound cool?"

Habilee nodded and watched me walk around her desk. I leaned down to her, giving her a soft kiss on her lips. Habilee blushed madly, but soon returned my kiss.

[Romance EXP +2500]

[Romance Level UP!]

[Romance Level: 11 (Better Quality Gifts Available in Lust-Eshop)]

After a moment of kissing, I pulled away, walking backwards to the door. "See you~"

"M-Mhm," Habilee nodded, her legs now tightly closed and her heart racing faster than ever.

I left her office then made my way out the library. As I walked down the halls, Mark caught up to me and we began to strike up a conversation with each other. As we walked outside, a few eyes landed on us, surprised by our newly blooming friendship.

We part ways, both of us getting in our cars to drive off. I went back home to prepare for my date with Habilee.

[Day: Thursday]

[Time: Evening]

[Location: Habilee's House]

[Habilee's Passion: Writing, Art, Music]

"Checks out." I said to Lust-E then summoned a Luscious Box with a gift specifically for Habilee.

[Generating Tasks...]

{Easy Task: Fulfill 1 of Habilee's desires.}

{Normal Task: Fulfill 3 of Habilee's desires.}

{Hard Task: Fulfill 1 of Habilee's Fantasies}

"Go get 'er, Tiger!~" Lustie cheered, boosting my already maxed out ego.

I chuckled softly then got out of my car, making my way to Habilee's front door. I rang the doorbell then waited for Habilee to answer. I straightened out my clothes, holding her gift carefully in my hand because what was inside seemed fragile.

The door finally swung open with Habilee standing there as beautiful as ever. Her hair was perfectly curled around her shoulders, she wore a casual blue outfit, and her jewelry sparkled with the evening glow.

"Hey, Ms. Heart, you look absolutely beautiful," I complimented, my gaze examining her.

[Flirting EXP +5000]

[Charm EXP +2500]

[Flirting Level UP!]

[Flirting Level: 11]

"You and your flirts..~ Thank you though, and I can say that you're pretty handsome yourself, Prince Charming," Habilee replied, a soft giggle escaping her lips.

"Now that's a fitting Title." Passion said, nodding her head.

"I mean...it's alright." Lustie shrugged.

"Before we go, I have a gift for you.." I said, holding the box out toward her.

Habilee took the box then opened it up, looking inside then gasped. She took it out of the box and her eyes lit up with happiness. "Shiro, this is beautiful...~ A snowglobe...oh and there like little figures of us~"

[Romance EXP +2500]

I smiled at Habilee's happiness, placing my hands in my pocket. "It wasn't too much, you know. Just wanted to give you something nice in advance for the upcoming Christmas.."

Habilee returned my smile with a radiant one of hers. She hurried to place it on her table then came back out, giving me a big hug. "Thank you..~"

[Habilee's Affection Meter rose to 75%]

I hugged her back, letting out a happy sound. While in each other's embrace, Habilee locked eyes with mine and got trapped within my gaze. She leaned forward, initiating in a gentle kiss on my lips. I returned her kiss, holding her close to me. Our kiss slowly began to deepen, Habilee pulling me into her house and I saw my chance to exhibit one of her desires.

As the door closed, I gently pinned Habilee against the door, our eyes once again locking. I leaned in, kissing her neck passionately, planning to leave my mark. Habilee felt a rush of pleasure racing around her body, her arms wrapping around me to keep balance. I kissed deeper, making sure my mark was there, causing Habilee to fall weak in her legs.

I finally pulled away, leaving a hickey on her neck. Her hickey softly glowed and a Love Sigil formed on her neck. 'It worked..'

"You marked her with Lust, but that one was inescapable. I'll let it slide~" Passion shrugged and chuckled.

{Easy Task Complete: Fulfill 1 of Habilee's desires.}

{Hard Task Complete: Fulfill 1 of Habilee's Fantasies}

[Alright, that was too easy bro. I'm not giving EXP for that.]

"HaTeR aCtIvItY: LuSt-E LeVeL 10 HaTeR bEeP bOoP." Passion said mockingly then laughed.

[(ー_ー)]

Habilee finally caught her breath then exhaled, fixing her hair and clothes. "I don't know what came over me, but I liked it.."

I chuckled as I fixed my clothes and hair then cleared my throat. "I'm sure you're ready to go after that..~"

Habilee giggled and nodded then grabbed her purse off the couch. She made sure she had everything then nodded. "Alright, let's head on out."

Habilee and I left her house to finally engage on our date. I planned to take her to a book convention she always wanted to go to, but tickets out always be sold out. Luckily, I managed to steal...I mean buy two tickets online from some shady website Lustie showed me. I kinda figured it was shady when the website said, "Their exchange will be final. This is a worthy sacrifice.."

[Nah, Lustie...You sold the souls of two people for fucking convention tickets?]

"It's for the plot! And I made sure to do background checks, the two souls that were taken were dangerous people!" Lustie argued, defending her decision.

"Girl, who did you sell their souls to?" Passion asked, giving Lustie a side eye.

Lustie giggled awkwardly, pressing the tips of her fingers together. "Uhm... Lucifer.."

"You...sold their souls to the Demon Queen? Over some tickets? I like that, anything for your Master..~" Passion said and smirked.

"Really?" Lustie asked excitedly, looking a Passion then groaned as Passion smacked her.

"Hell no! We can't just be killing people without proper reasoning!" Passion fussed.

Anyways, Habilee and I began to talk a lot about the book convention as it was the first one I'm actually going to. Apparently, many famous authors are going to be appearing which excited Habilee as it would help her get more exposure since she's friends with a few authors.

[Day: Thursday]

[Time: Evening]

[Location: Destiny Central]

"Ugh, finally we made it," Habilee exclaimed as she stepped out of my car. "What's the deal with this traffic?"

I laughed softly, getting out of my car as well. "Well, we all know that traffic will forever be a nightmare. But...we made it."

Habilee looked over at me, giving me a sweet smile. I held my hand out to her for her to grab. She happily grabbed my hand then I interlocked our fingers which caused her heart to flutter.

{2/3 Desires Fulfilled}

[I mean she is a classy lady I guess. Simple desire.]

"Well not everyone's desire has to be something grandiose. Look at her third desire. It's literally just meet a guy who actually loves her. Her desires have meaning." Passion said, feeling strongly about her trait and its aspects.

[Geez, calm down. ( ´Д`)=3]

I couldn't help but chuckle softly at their side conversations. They were always very entertaining to me, and it was the one thing I always loved about this whole experience...their dumb, idiotic, yap sessions.

[Alright bro. Moving along.]

Habilee and I submitted our tickets to the workers at the entrance of the convention then made our way inside. As we strolled hand in hand through the bustling book convention, Habilee's eyes sparkled with excitement at the sight of the myriad of booths and displays showcasing the latest literary works. This was a dream come true for her, a chance to immerse herself in the world of books and literature.

I couldn't help but smile at her infectious enthusiasm, feeling a sense of fulfillment in being able to share this experience with her. I guided her from booth to booth, stopping to admire the colorful book covers and engaging in animated conversations with fellow book enthusiasts.

As we wandered through the convention, I noticed Habilee's gaze lingering on a particular booth, her expression one of longing mixed with a hint of nostalgia. "Is everything okay, Habilee?" I asked, concern evident in my voice.

Habilee nodded, a wistful smile tugging at her lips. "It's just…this brings back so many memories," she admitted, her voice tinged with emotion. "I used to attend book conventions like this when I was younger. It was always my dream to become a successful writer and share my stories with the world."

I listened intently, my gaze stuck on her expression of nostalgia. I watched as she walked forward, taking her place in front of the booth to look through the various books. As I stepped closer to the book, I looked at some of the books then noticed these books were Habilee's.

"Shiro? You're here too?" A voice called out from behind us, their voice filled with a familiar excitement and curiosity.

I turned around, my gaze meeting a familiar face, Chloe. I couldn't help but to smile at her. "Chloe..~"

Habilee looked back and noticed Chloe had one of her books in her hand. Her eyes lit up with hope that someone was still reading her books. She hurried over to Chloe. "H-Hello! Uhm...may I ask what book you have in your hand?"

Chloe looked at Habilee then gave her a bright smile. "Of course!~ It's called Leaving Behind by Noelle Grant!~ She's one of my favorite authors of all time!"

I smiled at Chloe then turned my gaze to Habilee. Little did Chloe know, she was talking to Noelle Grant. The Noelle Grant.

'I'm one of her favorite writers..?' Habilee thought to herself.

"Uhm...what's your favorite part?" Habilee questioned, now trying to pick her brain.

"Oh it was definitely when Hearts found her courage to finally choose herself over other people so she could live out her dream! It really spoke to me because I currently have a hard time... choosing myself sometimes. It takes a lot of courage to choose to make yourself happy over other people and I wanna make everyone happy," Chloe answered, her enjoyment in the conversation evident as her smile began to radiate more.

Habilee smiled, closing her eyes. "Thank you for sharing with me..~"

Chloe nodded then hurried back over to me, giving me a kiss on my cheek. "I've gotta go now, I have work in like an hour~ I'll text you soon, 'kay?~"

"Yeah, I got you." I said, giving her a warm smile.

Habilee watched Chloe hurry off then looked at me. "She actually reads my books.."

"You have an audience out there, Habilee..~ We just have to help you find it.." I said, gently wrapping my arm around her shoulder.

Habilee smiled, leaning against me, her arm wrapped around my waist. "Thank you, Shiro..~"

[Bond with Habilee greatly increased.]

Habilee and I continued our stroll around the convention, meeting new friends and fellow writers along the way. We had a wonderful time and even picked up a few books while we were here. Soon, Habilee began to feel a bit tired and wanted to head home.

As we left the convention hand in hand, Habilee felt more motivated to bring back her career but with a rebranding. I encouraged her to do that, even offering to help her with anything she needed. Habilee was more than happy to let me help and it would do great for my Talent Trait.

We got in the car then I drove Habilee back to her house. Along the ride, we were already planning a second date, and a third. We were really just throwing out ideas, but it made me happy knowing Habilee was happy.

[Love EXP +1000]

[Day: Thursday]

[Time: Evening]

[Location: Habilee's House]

I parked my car in front of her house then sat back in my seat. Habilee looked over at me with a genuine and sweet smile. She leaned toward me and I met her halfway, our lips locking into a tender kiss. Our kiss lasted for a moment before I pulled away, but Habilee pulled me back in for a deeper kiss.

Finally, Habilee pulled away and smiled at me with an alluring expression. "Thank you for the nice outing, Shiro. I promise out next date will be longer..~"

"Anytime, and don't stress about the length of the date... I'm happy to spend even just five minutes with you," I replied, gently taking her hand in mine.

[Habilee's Affection Meter rose to 100%]

[Bond with Habilee Increased.]

A faint purple sigil formed on Habilee's chest then faintly glowed. Her happiness was through the roof and I could tell she was now truly infatuated with me.

"You really know how to make a woman smile..~ I'll see you tomorrow, Prince Charming..~" Habilee said, kissing my cheek before getting out my car.

I chuckled softly as I watched her enter her house then drove off. "Yes sir...A calm outing. No guns, no police, just a simple and clean date. Let's see those results!"

[Affirmative.]

{All Tasks Complete!}

[Date with Habilee Successful!]

[Date Analysis: Kept Habilee happy the entire time, Total money spent: Rough Estimate? $50, Marked Habilee with both current Love Sigils, Secured a passionate kiss!]

[Grade: X]

[Credi Earned: 30,000 Credi]

"Alright, let's go back to my home sweet home..~" I said with a smile.

"Yes!~ I've begun to miss that place," Lustie giggled.

[I agree. I need to see my old room again.]

"Y'all act like we were gone for centuries. But it'll be nice to just see the place again." Passion said, softly chuckling.
