Wat? Or ‘The reason why she did it’ or ‘The Harem Talk’ or…I advise you to not get attached.

They waited at the bus station in silence. John really wanted to ask Rave about the why but he could hardly do it with Victoria around with looking rude as hell. “We really ought to find a better travelling solution.” John started an easier topic. “Mhm, maybe you can learn some teleportation magic with that bullshit ability of yours.” Rave suggested. “Is there a book about stuff like that?” John asked earnestly, teleportation sounded awesome. “Probably, let’s check the Auction later.” Rave suggested and John nodded while glancing over to Victoria, who was fidgeting with some outer bags on ‘guitar’ case.

The bus rolled around the street corner and came to a halt. Victoria stopped fidgeting with the case and turned to the entrance. John was already about to step in when she put her hand on his shoulder. “Let me buy the tickets, you let me come along after all.” Her grip felt a bit off to John, then again, he wasn’t used to being touched by people at random. “Ehm, thanks but as students we drive for free.” He explained to her. “Okay.” Victoria dropped the issue surprisingly easily and allowed the couple to get in first.

The two of them sat down at the far end of the bus. Victoria bought the bus ticket and took a seat bit away from John and Rave, putting some earplugs in afterwards. If she did that to respect their privacy, to have some space or for some other contrived reason he didn’t know but he was thankful nonetheless, as it allowed him to ask a simple question.

“Why did you allow her to come?” He whispered to Rave. “What? Ya didn’t want her to tag along?” She answered in the same quiet tone. “No, well, kinda, but not today. I thought you just wanted to hang out today.” “And we can still do that after murdering some stuff. It’s just, you know, urgh now I have to do this whole emotion stuff again!” Rave leaned in closer and sighed. John did his best to not be aroused by her breath on his ear. He failed.

“As you, with your stupid high Intellect, should remember I am not the most liked girl in town.” “Mhm, I would argue that you are not the most known girl in town.” John interjected, “If the people knew you there would be no way they would dislike you.” “Sweet but not what I was going on about so you get a kiss.” He felt her lips on his cheek, “And a pinch.” Followed by some pain in his right side. This was becoming a regular thing and he was not sure if he was fine with that.

“Back to what I was saying, although I get along with Baldy and Jimmie is fun to have word battles with I don’t have exactly many friends. Like, we only have each other.” “True enough.” John wasn’t about to bring up that she would have no trouble finding other friends if she just tried. Then again now that his Charisma Stat wasn’t abysmal anymore maybe that was true for him as well? Whatever he would NOT get pinched again so he kept his mouth shut. “So, because I know being friendless kinda sucks and all that jazz I thought we might as well let her tag along. If she stays around we might as well get to know each other.”

That was actually a very good reason. Rave dropped her head on his shoulder and just stared out of the window. “Although her timing is piss-poor. I swear to Gaia I hope she puts out.” “Ehm, are you implying what I think you are implying?” “If you are thinking about a threesome, which you pervert undoubtedly are, then yes.” Rave purred into his ear. “What, ya think only men can have fantasies in their youth?” One of her hands found her way to his crotch and lightly squeezed, “We can serious later in life...”

“Well if we are already talking about that.” John decided that, right now in the middle of a ride to their farming location, with a slavic sniper in an otherwise empty bus while he was skipping school with his girlfriend it was the best time to speak about a rather touchy subject. “Would you mind if I build a Harem?”

Well, Rave just raised her head from his shoulder and looked at him funny. Then she giggled but her eyes were slightly dangerous. “Well, ya are honest at least. Ya gotta explain tho.” “Like, I don’t want to cheat on you.” John was quick to defend himself. “But, you know, I am young and I also kind of want to stick my dick into everything that looks even the least bit sexy.” “I think that is called cheating though.” “Not if you agree to it.” John was still on the defensive. All in all, this wasn’t going as horrible as he thought. The hand on his crotch wasn’t strangling his dick off yet.

“So, you want me to just agree to you sleeping around?” “Actually, I just want to know if you would be fine with it so I can go ahead or not even try. I sure as heck won’t you trade in for some random girl, no matter how sexy.” Rave mustered him for a second and John thought he could go on the offensive here for a bit. “You already want to have threesome with Aclysia or Victoria and you just said that we can get serious later in life.” He argued.

Rave was not convinced “Nice try twisting my words but this and that are very different things. Let me turn this whole thing around: If I wanted to sleep with other dudes would you let me?” Ah, there it was the question he had expected and feared as it would unveil his hypocrisy. “No…” he admitted. Rave continued as she tapped her fingers on his pants “If you said ‘Hey, let us have a threesome with another guy’ you think I would agree?” “Yes…” He shrunk in his seat.

“And still my answer will be: Yes, you can try it.” ‘Wait what?’ He thought. “Wait what?” He repeated out loud. “I have a few conditions though!” Rave said and removed her hand to cross her arms and give him a very stern look. “First, if you get yourself hitched up with somebody else without me you tell me, no secrets. Second, if I dislike one of your ‘acquaintances’ she gotta go. Third, I am your girlfriend and I get the date, cuddle and fuck privileges, meaning that if I get to put up with you sleeping around you will have to put up with me wanting sex after you already went two times that day.” Quietly she added, “Not that that is gonna be a problem with your bullshit ‘Masturbation’ Ability.”

Well, John had to agree so he opened his mouth to say his part but Rave with a quick movement sealed his lips by pressing his lips together with the index finger and thumb of her left hand. “I ain’t done, John.” She said, “Lastly: When I want this whole Harem thing to be over it is.” She let go off his mouth.

“That’s all?” He asked. “Yeah, what?” “Well, I expected you to smuggle that whole ‘sleeping with other dudes’ thing in there to shut me down.” “Yeah, there is a slight problem with that. You know how you have that Fucking Skill?” Rave sighed, “Ya have no idea how good that thing is, honestly keeping ya to myself would be a crime on womanhood.”

John would have loved to boast about that achievement but that Skill was handed to him on a silver tablet so that wouldn’t have been fair for all the guys who actually were good at sex. “Well, I can promise you monopoly over my heart at least.” “And ya better keep that promise, ‘cause if ya go cheat on me I will become a man-hating cat lady and start visiting parties, seduce hot women and ruin them for all men. After breaking your balls.” Rave glanced at his crotch, the jeans with its oil stains were pretty tight. “You only heard ‘seduce hot women’ did ya?” “Can you blame me?” “Mhm, I guess not, but you remain a hopeless case.” “Aha,” John said triumphantly, “But I am your hopeless case!” He turned to kiss her, she was willing to indulge him. “I really love you, Jane.” “Right back at ya. Now, can we share that newcomer between us?”
