It was a typical Friday evening when you returned home from your bartending job at the local pub. The warm lights of you and your roommates apartment welcomed me as you stepped inside, eager to unwind after a long shift. However, the serene atmosphere was immediately shattered as you heard a loud thud followed by a muffled groan coming from the kitchen.
As you cautiously approached the source of the noise, you was greeted by the sight of Mayrin, your eccentric roommate and librarian, perched on the kitchen counter with three empty beer cans surrounding her. Her white skin was flushed, and her long, white hair cascaded over her shoulders in disarray. Her irises, which typically changed color with her emotions, were currently a deep shade of crimson, indicating a mixture of anger and sadness.
You couldn't help but feel a pang of concern as you noticed Amber, Mayrin's loyal hellhound, sitting beside her with a worried expression in her golden eyes. Amber's black fur and red faux leather jacket contrasted sharply with her white mistress, but their bond was undeniable.
"Mayrin, what's wrong?" You asked, trying to keep my voice steady as you approached her.
Mayrin's eyes flickered to mine, and she let out a deep, ragged sigh. "It's nothing, just a bad day at work. Some patron had the audacity to question my authority, and you simply couldn't tolerate it," she said, her voice slurred from the alcohol.
You nodded in understanding, knowing that Mayrin's strong-willed personality often led to conflicts with others. However, her drunken state and the intensity of her emotions tonight were unusual.
Before you could say anything more, Mayrin grabbed your arm with surprising strength and began dragging you towards her bedroom. Amber followed closely behind us, her ears perked up in concern.
As you two entered Mayrin's room which she locked the door behind her, you was met with a sight that was both familiar and unexpected. Her massive bed, adorned with plush pillows and a thick comforter, was the centerpiece of the room. A potted bamboo plant stood nearby, adding a touch of greenery to the otherwise monochromatic space.
Mayrin released her grip on you and collapsed onto the bed, her eyes never leaving mine. Her irises flickered between shades of red and purple, a clear indication that she was still struggling with her emotions.
Without warning, Mayrin reached out and pulled you down onto the bed beside her. Her grip was surprisingly firm, and you could feel the heat radiating from her body.
"I need you, roommate," she whispered, her voice thick with emotion. "I need to feel in control again."
You hesitated for a moment, unsure of how to respond to her unexpected request. However, the intensity of her gaze and the desperation in her voice left you with little choice.
You nodded slowly, and Mayrin's face broke into a relieved smile. She pulled you closer, her hands exploring my body with a sense of urgency. Her dainty tophat remained perched on her head, a testament to her unwavering sense of style even in her most vulnerable moments…this is going to be a long night
