Chapter 28: Congratulations, Rhys.

"…Who the fuck are you?"

Do you know the feeling of being caught masturbating by your own mother? Rhys doesn't—but for some reason, it probably felt like this.

He wasn't doing anything, not really. But since there was a pretty, short-haired girl currently on top of him, it felt like he was doing something… wrong. But then again, Lina was indeed about to do something.

And while Rhys's mind was once again lost in its own world, Lina and Katarina just stared at each other; with the twitching of Katarina's eyes getting faster and faster by the second.

"S…sorry," but after a few more seconds, Lina quickly jumped off the bed; fixing her skirt and hair as she moved to the side, "There… there was something on his shirt so I was just trying to get it off."

"...Right," Katarina squinted her eyes as her head nodded slowly, "And were you trying to get it off with your mouth?"

"That's—wait, who are you?" Lina also squinted her eyes as she started looking at Katarina from head to toe. She initially thought she was a doctor in the hospital, but realized she saw her before when she first met Rhys. And now that she was looking at her from head to toe, Lina could not help but take in a small gulp as she saw the difference in their… physique.

Suffice it to say, Katarina's breasts were even larger than Lina's thighs—and she was proud of her thighs.

"I'm Rhys's… personal doctor. I should be the one asking you that, who are you?" Katarina adjusted her glasses before she looked at Rhys, "Rhys, who is this?"

"..."

"Rhys!"

"What? Oh…" Rhys finally snapped out of his mild stupor as he looked back and forth between Katarina and Lina,

"This is Lina, she's…" Rhys then turned to look at Lina; staring her straight in the eyes, "She's…

…my girlfriend?"

Rhys was a little hesitant, but he didn't really have to think that long. He and Lina have really only known each other for a few days, and they both barely know anything about each other—but there was already a connection between them that he couldn't quite explain.

"R… Rhys, are… are we?" Lina could really only stutter as she returned Rhys's gaze—the large empty Heart floating above her head, starting to show a hint of red at the bottom.

"..." Rhys took notice of the change; quickly wondering what else would happen if he was to fill the large heart, "And this Dr. Lopez, she's… I suppose you can say she's family."

"Girl…friend?" Katarina also stuttered; her large breasts, slightly jiggling as her breaths turned heavy. She didn't even hear what Rhys said about her.

Her shock didn't last long, however, as she quickly shook her head and approached the bed,

"I… suppose it doesn't matter. It… it's not my business whether you have—it's not my business," Katarina continued to mumble as she tried her best to hide what she was feeling, "I came here to talk to you about something."

"Oh, I'll… leave you guys to talk," and with a smile and a blush on her face, Lina made her way to the door, "I'll be outside, Rh—!!!"

Before Lina could make it to the door, however, Katarina suddenly grabbed her arm as she passed by her. And although Lina was an Elemental-type, she was still quite proud of her strength… and yet as she tried to pull her arm away from the growing pressure, she found that she couldn't even budge Katarina's hand for even a single millimeter.

"Did… you need me for something?" Lina's eyebrows started to furrow as she looked Katarina straight in the eyes. Although Rhys said that she was family, as a woman, Lina sensed that there was something about Katarina that she just didn't like.

…Like she was competition.

"I do, actually," Katarina, on the other hand, just tried her best to smile as she let go of Lina's arm,

"Since I need a witness for this, anyway," she then said before suddenly handing something to Rhys—some sort of thin binder.

"This is…" Rhys opened the binder, only to see a large print of his name on it.

"Congratulations, Rhys…" And all of a sudden, any other emotion on Katarina's face disappeared; with the only one remaining a melancholic joy that was enough to reflect in her eyes as she held Riley's hand.

"W…what?"

"You survived high school, literally…" Katarina then placed Rhys's hand on her cheek as she let out a small but heavy chuckle, "I'm… I'm so proud of you, Rhys."

"...What?" Rhys could really only repeat his words as he once again looked at his name, before seeing the word 'diploma' written somewhere on the paper, "This… I'm… graduating?"

"You already have," Katarina smiled as she looked at Rhys's face, "The board decided that… it was best to just close the school for now. Hence, they expedited the—you know what, it doesn't matter. The most important thing is that you no longer have to go back to that hellish place anymore."

"That's… I don't really know what to feel right now, Dr. Katarina," Rhys could really only breathe heavily as he looked at her, "Just… thank you?"

"You should thank yourself for being so stro—!!!"

And before Katarina could finish her words, Lina suddenly rushed to Rhys's other side and kissed him on the lips without any warning.

"Congratulations, Rhys…" Lina then smiled as she pulled back, "We… we need to celebrate this. How about we take a photo for—Aw!"

Lina was about to pull out her phone, but before she could do so, Katarina suddenly appeared behind her; slapping her hand and causing her phone to violently roll away.

"Bitch, what did you do that for!?"

"You're his girlfriend and you don't even know!?"

"Know wha—" Lina was going to raise her voice even more, but as soon as she glanced at Rhys, he noticed him looking away; his arms that were covering his face, slightly trembling as they tried their best to hide his face,

"Rhys, I'm… I'm sorry. I… I forgot," Lina took in a small gulp as she remembered… the video.

"It's… it's fine," Rhys very slowly lowered his arm; his breaths, obviously still heavy as he looked at Lina and Katarina, "I just… I was just surprised."

"Rhys, I'm sorry," Lina gently grabbed Rhys's hand, "It's… I swear it's not going to happen again. I was just… too happy that something nice finally happened from all the shit that's been happening to you."

"I… know, Lina. Thank you," Rhys shook his head as Lina's desires echoed inside his head.

"Do you want to rest, Rhys? We can go out if you want," Katarina placed her hand on Rhys's leg, "I can get you something from the nurses?"

"I'm fine, Dr. Katarina. You promised, remember…? No more meds."

"That's—"

"And I'm actually more worried about something else," Rhys then let out a small sigh as he once again looked at his diploma, "Now that the school's officially closed…

…I don't really know where I'm going to stay anymore. And I don't plan on going to college, so the government won't provide me with housing anymore."

"...Why are you worrying about that?" Katarina blinked a couple of times as she looked at Rhys, "Isn't it obvious? You'll be living with me—that's another thing we promised each other, remember?"

"Oh, then—"

"Wait, wait. Hold on," Lina slightly raised her voice before Rhys could say something, "What do you mean it's obvious? I'm her girlfriend, remember? He…

…should be staying with me."

There are problems, and then there are Problems. The curse of being handsome, I have this problem IRL as well. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
