Company.

Alice sat down on my desk chair, Noelle sat down at the foot of my bed and Diana sat next to me, putting the back of her hand on my forehead.

“They’re right. You do have a fever,” she said, grimacing. “Were you practicing for…”

I chuckled. “Yeah, but this was gonna happen eventually. Frey says it’s like when you first workout some muscles. It shouldn’t happen again after this.”

“Please don’t overdo it,” Diana said, cupping my cheek. “As interesting as the idea is, it’s not worth your health.”

“Relax, I’m fine,” I told her.

“He was delirious just an hour ago,” Noelle said, giggling. “You should’ve heard him.”

Diana smiled wryly. “I’m sorry that I can’t find that funny.”

“S-Sorry!”

“Hey, we were worried sick when we found him, so seeing him better now really is a relief,” Alice said. “He couldn’t move before but now he can sit up by himself. So really, he IS getting better.”

“Sorry to ruin your day out,” I told them.

“Shut up, it’s not your fault,” Noelle told me. “Besides, we got to spoonfeed you, so it’s all good!”

“Okay, now I’m jealous,” Diana said.

“Did you come back to have drinks with mom and Maria?” I asked her.

“Yes, they asked me to make them something and your house was the closest,” Diana said.

“Feel free to tell my mom if you’re not feeling like it,” I told her.

Diana shook her head. “No, I like doing it, so it’s not an issue.”

Diana cupped my cheek again, lovingly caressing me with her thumb. It felt really nice. Actually, maybe a little too nice. My dick was starting to rise from her touch alone.

The rush was faint but the feeling was all too familiar. Old, usually harmless and welcome habits rose, too, and my eyes traveled from chest to chest. I swallowed hard.

Alice was wearing a white, baggy blouse, but even in that her chest was noticeable. It pushed the fabric forward to the point one would imagine that any tighter blouse would probably have its buttons snapped from the strain. Noelle was wearing a plain black T-shirt. It was long, but tighter precisely at the chest area. It made me think that, if her nipples were a little harder, I might be able to see them poking out. And then there was Diana wearing a light, cream-colored cardigan over a white tank top that not only packaged her chest in a similar fashion to Noelle’s T-shirt, but also offered a tiny bit of cleavage. And as if their boobs and their bodies weren’t enough, they were so damn pretty that even if I turned to look into their eyes like a proper gentleman, I’d still get the urge to grab them and shower them with kisses because somehow I’m dating six of the most gorgeous women in the world.

“...”

I felt like an addict, almost. A bottle of liquor, a line of coke, a slot machine with a coin in my hand… All I had to do was reach out and drink of the pleasure that gave me life, only it was forbidden for the next two days.

I hid under my blankets and let out a heavy groan.

“W-What happened?” Noelle asked, worried.

“Thanks for being here, but I think you girls should leave,” I told them.

“What, why?” Alice asked.

“Because looking at you makes me feel things and Frey said I should avoid contact with magical energy for a while.”

“And the naughty stuff… creates energy, right?” Noelle said.

“Yeah…”

Diana sighed. “If we’re going to make you feel uncomfortable, then it really would be better if we left you to rest.”

Diana began to stand up, but I reached out from inside my hiding place and grabbed her wrist.

“...Actually, I don’t want you girls to leave,” I said.

“But we’ll only make you uncomfortable,” Alice said.

“Yes, but I still want you here,” I said.

Diana chuckled and sat back down. “Then we’ll stay.”

“Do you need anything?” Noelle asked me.

“Need? More water,” I said. “Want? Um…”

“We’ll make up for it in a few days,” Alice said. “I won’t tell you to take your mind off of it because I know you won’t be able to, but if you end up craving something in particular… We might be able to accommodate.”

I wanna burrow my face in tits, dammit!

“If you need a distraction, though, I have a bit of gossip,” Diana said.

“You know I’m not into gossip,” I told her.

“You’ll be into this. Maria says she and Thomas are considering moving in together, too.”

“Woah!”

“Seriously?”

I let out an impressed whistle and kind of made my head spin. Not again. “Okay, that is interesting,” I admitted. “Details?”

“Maria’s idea, apparently. She offered him to move in with her into her house. She says she hesitated because he would be moving further away from his university, but says Thomas said yes immediately.”

“So they’re pretty serious, then,” Alice said.

“Yes, it surprised me, too,” Diana said. “Not that Maria is one to date casually, but it’s surprising that it’s working well between them.”

I nodded. “I knew he was head over heels for her, but it’s a relief to see she’s serious about him, too.”

Noelle giggled. “Did you hear her calling him ‘sweetie’?”

“I did,” Alice laughed. “They’re really cute.”

“I really hope things work out well between them for the long run,” Diana said. “If my best friend and your best friend break up on bad terms, it’ll be super awkward for us, too.”

“Okay, now you’re thinking of worst case scenarios just like Oliver,” Noelle told her.

“She’s right, though! How are we supposed to invite either of them to the house if they break up?” I asked.

“They’re not gonna break up!” Alice said. “Can you see either of them screwing up really badly?”

Diana and I looked at each other. “I… can’t, actually,” I said. “My biggest worry is Maria will decide Thomas is too childish for her.”

“And I’m worried Thomas will decide he wants to spend more time with his friends in university than with her,” Diana said.

“I doubt it,” I said. “He likes to host parties, but he’s always been responsible about it.”

“And she’s always raving about how fun he is to be with.”

“See? They’ll be fine.”

“Alright, everyone shut up or you’ll jinx it!” Noelle said.

The girls stayed with me until the evening. We talked about a little bit of everything, then they decided to actually give me time to rest when I was falling asleep in the middle of the conversation.

Didn’t sleep great that night, but I did wake up feeling better.
