Harry Potter: A Different Beginning (Ezralora and I only)
It seemed like Izybel was the one that was called on, and she was soon enough explaining what exactly it was. Man she wasn't overly pleased about the fact that they were testing it in partners, and something about it failing. She was hiding the sigh that she wanted to let out and was just flipping out her book to the page that he specified. After that she was just skimming through the page, and reading through the ingredients that were needed for the potion. Oh wait... this was actually a potion that she was able to make without failing. Somehow anyways, not exactly sure how, since everything else she seemed to fail out. Yet again this had been a godsend during her first year in school. Shockingly enough back then she had been rather shy and timid. Yet a lot of people found that rather difficult to believe.
Harry Potter: A Different Beginning (Ezralora and I only)
The rest of the lesson went on in the same routine for a while actually it was simple process in the end to go through the potion and then try and pull something off in the end. In the long run the rest of the classes continued to go on this way, with the steady build up to the trouble of handling a higher grade of NEWTs. It was definitely something new, and within three weeks some of the students were beginning to feel the squeeze and the pressure of this intense time table. Though there was a lingering conversation that buzzed around the school, that of the Goblet of Fire and what would come of it.The conversation was practically ripe on the day of the reveal to the point where the staff announced a surprise Hogsmead trip just to get students out of the school and stop them from pestering them. Macha stood outside on the autumn day at the entrace with a long thick coat on, some earmuffs, and her usual yellow scarf. Her red hair was tied back with part of her fringe covering one side of her face. She breathed into her gloved hands as she looked over her shoulder. It had certainly been an odd three weeks. She had not been struggling with school, so much as just her social skills. Taking a leaf from her sister's book she had been trying to be more social, and she had begun to realise just how draining it was. With a casual movement she slipped her hands into her pockets and glanced back at the gates, wondering if they'd walk into town together before going their separate ways. She was sure that Izybel would be meeting Draco at some point.
Harry Potter: A Different Beginning (Ezralora and I only)
The rest of the lesson had gone by smoothly enough, and without much fail. And before they knew it three weeks had gone past, and there were many conversations that were floating around. The biggest one being that of the Goblet of Fire, considering the results would be announced sooner rather than later. And it seemed like the staff was a bit annoyed with being pestered about it, so they had arranged for a Hogsmead trip for the students, regardless of if they had permission slips or not, just to get some quiet time. Honestly one couldn't blame them. Most of the staff didn't have any more information about what was going to happen during the tournament than the next.Red hair was pulled back in a tight braid and draped over a shoulder as the young woman made her way towards the gates to meet up with her sister. After a while the pair had finally started to talk again, not that that was much of a surprise. They could never avoid each other for longer than a couple of days, it just felt strange. Or it did for Izybel anyways. She was jogging up to her sister before she spoke, "Sorry I'm late, got into helping some of the people from the other school find their way." Well the castle was a maze more often than not, and it really didn't take much to get lost at all, unless you knew it from top to bottom, and even then there was no promises. Izybel personally enjoyed getting lost, and seeing what mysteries she could find.
Harry Potter: A Different Beginning (Ezralora and I only)
Macha pulled her coat tighter around herself before she gave a wave as Izybel was coming towards her. She gave her a small smile before nodding her head, "Well look at you being all helpful." She said with a teasing grin before she began to walk slowly away from the castle and down the path, it would take a fair few minutes before they got to the town so there was time to enjoy the walk. It hadn't been too long, a couple of days before Macha had gone back to her and apologised, claiming that she was angry and a little jealous about the whole fact in the most awkward way possible. She took in a deep breath as she watched her breath rise up in front of her before she rubbed her hands together."Well as you said, it continues to change. But glad you helped them, could have sworn i heard a rumour at some point that a student got lost for a few days in the castle. Not the best to say the least." She said with a small laugh before glancing down at her boots as she crunched over some fallen leaves. "What are you planning on doing once we get into Hogsmead?" She asked with a casual shrug of her shoulders.
Harry Potter: A Different Beginning (Ezralora and I only)
Izybel just looked towards Macha for a moment in time before she spoke, "Oh once you get lost it is difficult to try and get un lost. Speaking through experience, yet again I do it intentionally. I want to know every nook and cranny of this place. Perhaps some day it will come in handy." With that she was chuckling before she was strolling after Macha so that they could get going to Hogsmead. Not that it would take overly long to get there at all, and she was just looking when her sister was asking what she planned on doing. This had her tapping her lips before she spoke in a low voice, "Well if one thing about the original doesn't change, there will be the Yule Ball. So one thing I'm doing... if searching for a dress."
Harry Potter: A Different Beginning (Ezralora and I only)
"A dress...." She laughed before her eyes widened as she looked at Izybel. "Should i start trying to find one as well?" She asked her as she tugged at her scarf nervously before clearing her throat, she had forgotten about that but her eyes glanced up at Izybel. "You know if you want to know every cranny of the school i could always help at some point." She pointed out, beofre her head got taken away with trying to figure out what dress would be best to go with her. She knew Izybel would be able to find one in a heart beat. Or... easier than her. "I assume if you get chosen you will be taking your future husband to be with you?" She asked with a small smile, it was beginning a small bit of gossip that Draco and Izybel were getting closer, and plus it was fun to tease her sister about the whole thing.
Harry Potter: A Different Beginning (Ezralora and I only)
Izybel just looked towards her sister before she was giggling then spoke, "Looking for a dress would probably be wise. Besides you know eventually we'll need something nice to wear for when father shows up." With that she was continuing to walk along before she was giving a grin at the mention of how she would help at some point. This had her chuckling a bit before she spoke, "I know that. We'll go exploring together sometime. I was just exploring the forbidden wing last night and.... it is a lot bigger than I thought." She just walked along besides Macha although was glancing over at her sister at the mention of being chosen, and taking her future husband to be. No she doubted that she would actually get chosen to be the Champion of Hogwarts, not with how many people had put in their names. "I will probably go with him but... I hope you know that just because I am dating him, I haven't forgotten about you."
Harry Potter: A Different Beginning (Ezralora and I only)
Macha glanced down as her green eye flicked to the snow. "I know Izybel, i was just... a little jealous on more than one level." She said and gave her a soft smile as they continued their walk before she flared her nostrils a little. "Well whoever it is, i am sure that we will judge them without a single shred of resilience." She pointed out before coming to a stop, "Yes... father will want us looking fancy won't he?" She said and cleared her throat a little. She had sent a few letters to their father since they had been here, and the few responses she had gathered were... Slim to say the least. A few pieces with one or two words placed on them. "Oh that reminds me, duelling club will be starting again. You still down to be doubles with me?" She asked her with a smirk.
Harry Potter: A Different Beginning (Ezralora and I only)
Izybel was giving a small chuckle before she spoke, "And I swear he mentioned something about coming to "visit" during the ball as it was." Which was another reason she knew that the ball was going to happen. Unless of course there was a different one happening at some point during the year, although she doubted that. With that she was walking along besides her, just gazing around at a few of the shops that were around them before she was turning to face her sister fully at the mention of dueling club. "Since when do we not pair up?" she questioned with a small scoff, as if she couldn't believe her sister was actually asking that question.
Harry Potter: A Different Beginning (Ezralora and I only)
Macha shrugged her shoulders lightly before giving a small smile, "I just have to be sure that you haven't gone completely and utterly insane." She said as she looked over the town, despite everything she could always see the appeal of this town. It was cozy and quaint and now with the sudden influx of students she was sure that there was plenty of income coming in. "I mean let's face it we're going to have this in the bag once more." She pointed out before adjusting her earmuffs, which whilst a little out of character. Certainly made her look a little more approachable. "But i guess we will find out who will be Hogwarts champion tonight! Then... well... i don't know."
Harry Potter: A Different Beginning (Ezralora and I only)
Izybel was giving a chuckle before she spoke, "Macha, I've always been insane. I just have those normal moments." With that she was giving a faint chuckle before she was pointing towards a store that was actually selling dresses. Well that could definitely check that place out. She was nodding at the mention of having everything in a bag before she was commenting, "Yes we do." Although the annoying thing was actually having to keep the wands in their hands, and actually make a show of using a wand, to cast magic.
Harry Potter: A Different Beginning (Ezralora and I only)
Macha let out a sigh, before shrugging her shoulders. She felt like telling her sister something, but thought it best to keep as a surprise for later. She made her way into the clothes shop, after giving it a look of fear, and resigned depression as she began the hunt for a dress. She lowered her earmuffs before shaking her hair, for a moment her yellow eye visible through her fringe as she walked a little further in. She had been spending some time with Harry, Ron and Hermione. She felt that a relationship with them was getting stronger, if she was awkward and they were slowly becoming friends. Despite them being different she had to admit Harry was certainly a looker, and she had glanced at him occasionally. God she would have killed sometimes to have Izybel's way of just knowing something would work out. She stopped before pulling out an emerald green dress, "What do you think? For your silver snake?" She asked with a small smirk.
Harry Potter: A Different Beginning (Ezralora and I only)
"You look like you have something to say." Izybel spoke as she was looking towards her sister for a brief moment in time, and was just giving a gentle smile. She was reminding her that no matter what, she was always her sister, she would always be there to talk about whatever she wanted to talk about. After that she was commenting, "I've seen you hanging around Ron, Hermione, and Harry recently. I hope that you are forming friendships with them as well." After that she was looking at some of the dresses, then just looked at emerald green dress that Macha had pulled out, which had her cooing ever so slightly. It was really pretty although she wasn't quite sure of the style. "Love the color, I'm not sure about the style though. A bit too floofy for me." she was giggling before she was spotting a dark red colored dress, which she was pulling out for Macha to look at. It was more of a maroon, but it was still rather pretty.
Harry Potter: A Different Beginning (Ezralora and I only)
Macha nodded a little, "Trying to at least..." she mumbled as she placed the dress back only to turn back to see a maroon dress in her face which she stared at for a moment and chewed the inside of her cheek. Whilst she certainly liked the colour of it. It felt a little exposing especially along the back. She felt the light sting of a long since healed scar there as she took it carefully. "You do realise if i take this i'm going to be incredibly self conscious." She commented as she examined the dress closer. She wasn't a dress person, so the sooner she found one the better, and this seemed to do. Macha moved around to the other side of the rack and pulled out a slightly deeper green dress, it was less floofy but had a flare around the leg hem. "What about this?"
Harry Potter: A Different Beginning (Ezralora and I only)
Izybel looked towards her sister before she spoke, "We can keep looking." After that she was giving a small chuckle and was sweeping some of her hair out of her face. Nope that dress wasn't for her sister obviously, and she really didn't want her sister to be self conscious the entire time. That would just make the dance... well not as fun. With that she was studying the dress that her sister had founded for her, which had her taking it and holding it up to herself. She was turning to look at herself in the mirror before she spoke, "I feel like a Christmas decoration. So I'm thinking.... maybe I'll go with a silver dress and green accessories."
Harry Potter: A Different Beginning (Ezralora and I only)
Macha frowned a little as she said silver with green and she just shrugged. "Sure, but let's be honest even if you go in wearing a rag you're going to have eyes on yourself." She mused with a grin as she continued her search, but there was nothing on this rack of clothing. "Why not just get something tailored for you?" She asked with a raised eyebrow, i mean it was always a last option but in this case it might be best. Expensive but a better option.
Harry Potter: A Different Beginning (Ezralora and I only)
"If I can't find a silver dress then I'll probably do just that." Izybel was commenting to the tailoring option. Yeah it was an option and one that she would consider, if nothing was found. She found another dress that she thought her sister would possibly like. The back was showy, although the dress itself was more off an off shade of black.
Harry Potter: A Different Beginning (Ezralora and I only)
Macha nodded as she closed her hand around a dress that was silver, or more of a dark silver with a few emerald like gems embedded in the body of it. She held it up before seeing her sister holding up the off black dress. She glanced at it and went to exchange dresses before nodding a little. "I think this will do the job nicely." She said with a small smile as he looked over a little closer, the back showing was something she was a little troubled by, but if she kept her hair down it shouldn't be a problem. "Is that one a little flashy for you?" She asked gesturing to the silver dress, though some bits of it looked more like a frost colour at the hem of it.
Harry Potter: A Different Beginning (Ezralora and I only)
"Oh this is pretty." Izybel spoke after a moment in time as she exchanged dresses with her sister and was holding up the dress to herself before she was just looking at herself in the mirror. There was a smile that was on her lips before she spoke, "No actually it isn't too flashy at all, it is perfect." Beautiful actually. Not floofy at all, and from the looks of it, it was more of a shape hugging dress. Good thing she wasn't overly self conscious of herself. At least not usually, although she was almost beginning to have her doubts at that point in time, for some reason. She was shaking her head a bit before she was speaking, "Lets go try them on."
Harry Potter: A Different Beginning (Ezralora and I only)
Macha tilted her head a little before taking in a deep breath as she headed into one of the changing rooms and placed the dress on after getting out of her warmer clothes. The dress had the colour of red wine about it as she came out, her hair still tied up, as she looked at herself in the mirror. With her exposed back there was little she could do to hide the deep dark scar going down it, but a small price to pay. She smiled ever so slightly as she came to the conclusion, that she was looking good.
Harry Potter: A Different Beginning (Ezralora and I only)
Izybel was disappearing into a changing room as well so that she could try on her dress. As soon as she changed out of her warm clothing, she was slipping into the dress and just examining herself for a moment in time. After that she was stepping out of the changing room before she was just looking towards her sister before she spoke, "Oh you are looking adorable." Nope her sister looked very good in that dress, and with a little bit of work, they could style her hair so that it covered the scar on her back. She knew that her sister was quite self conscious about that. Yet again she supposed that everybody had that one thing that they didn't like about themselves, and they were afraid to let others see.
Harry Potter: A Different Beginning (Ezralora and I only)
Macha gave a small smile before taking in a deep breath as she nodded, "Well i don't think i need to tell you that you look good in the dress." She said to her with a smile as she looked over it, everything just seemed to compliment her and it was hard to point out anything that was out of place, or even looked like it shouldn't belong. She was certainly pulling it off very well. "I guess then that's one more thing we don't have to worry about for now."
Harry Potter: A Different Beginning (Ezralora and I only)
Izybel was studying her sister for a brief moment in time before she spoke, "You look absolutely beautiful in that dress." Nope her sister did look very nice, and as her sister was making a comment that she looked good in the dress, this had Izybel doing a small twirl, just examining herself in the mirror. She felt good as well. Yeah this was most definitely one more thing that they didn't have to worry about. Dresses were taken care of for the ball, now they would just have to find accessories.
Harry Potter: A Different Beginning (Ezralora and I only)
Macha got changed quickly back into her clothing, and tugged her scarf slightly as she lifted it up to cover the lower part of her chin as she cleared her throat, and handed over a few gold coins for the dress. It was after all well crafted and deserved every penny she could. It wasn't like she was beginning to be strapped for cash. She brushed some of her hair back before glancing outside. Despite it being the back end of Autumn she could see the beginning of snow starting to fleck down, though a part of her imagined it was the school that was doing this. Somehow to make the night seem all the more mystical and memorable.
Harry Potter: A Different Beginning (Ezralora and I only)
Izybel was changing back into her normal clothing and was picking up the dress, handing over a few gold coins as well. Nope, she had no qualms about over paying a bit, even telling the shopkeep that she didn't need anything back. Not like either of the sisters had to worry about becoming strapped for money, it wouldn't take long to send a message to their father to let him know that they needed more money. And he would get it taken care of. "You think he will show up at the ball like he mentioned. Father that is." Izybel spoke as she walked along beside her sister, using a bit of magic to send the dress that she had just bought to her locked trunk at the end of her bed.
Harry Potter: A Different Beginning (Ezralora and I only)
Macha frowned for a moment before raising both of her gloved hands as she let out a chilled breath. "A bit of me wants to say know but i think we both know the truth which is, yes. He will be there without a doubt. He might not be a member of the council, but he certainly has his ways with influencing people. What about mother?" She asked her as she brushed her red hair behind her ear as she saw that the place had gotten a little busier for Hogsmead now that it was cutting into the day a little. Lots of wide eyed third years exploring for the first time, it was cute in some ways.
Harry Potter: A Different Beginning (Ezralora and I only)
Izybel just looked towards her sister before she spoke, "If father will be there, you can guarantee that mother will be there." No their parents were practically connected at the hip, they didn't tend to go far without the other. And they supported each other like no other, although honestly, out of the pair of them, Izybel was definitely more afraid of their mother. Probably because the woman was so unpredictable, yet again Izybel was the same way. Like mother like daughter she supposed. Her gaze flickered towards the third years that wandered around, and soon enough her attention was turning towards that of Harry and his group as they walked towards them.
Harry Potter: A Different Beginning (Ezralora and I only)
Macha gave her a soft smile as she heard her sister talk before shrugging her shoulders. "Well i suppose that is certainly something that will be interesting to look at." She ran a hand down her face before adjusting her scarf as she glanced around and then spotted Harry's group heading towards them. She blushed a little before rubbing the back of her head as she was doing her best to look as distracted as possible and was suddenly very conscious of everything. She quickly leapt on the first thought in her head, "Snow... at least there will be snow when the weather changes and the ball happens."
Harry Potter: A Different Beginning (Ezralora and I only)
Izybel was just looking towards her sister for a moment in time before she spoke, "Everything is interesting when mother and father show up." With that she was giving a small shrug of her shoulders before she was giving a small wave towards the group as they got closer. Yeah she had seen the faint blush on her sister's cheeks but she wasn't going to say anything. Not at that point in time. "Can we have the snow but get rid of the freezing cold weather." Izybel mumbled as she folded her hands behind her head.
Harry Potter: A Different Beginning (Ezralora and I only)
"Well if the snow is there then it would just be sludge and people aren't too fond of sludge." She gave an amused laugh. "Kind of strange when you think about it, the difference between happiness and annoyance is just a few degrees in temperature." She closed her eyes before frowning. "Since when do you complain about the cold?" She asked her with a raised eyebrow. The weather had never bothered her too much, and she was surprised to hear her sister found it that way. "I always thought winter was the best season anyway. Gives people a reason to get warm."
Harry Potter: A Different Beginning (Ezralora and I only)
Izybel just looked towards her sister before she was mumbling, "I have never been a fan of the cold weather." She loved winter, and the snow but she had a dislike for the cold itself. The snow was absolutely beautiful, at times anyways. She ran her fingers through her hair before she was looking towards Ron and Harry who were merely talking about something. Winter had her thinking back into the previous time line. Harry wearing the invisibility cloak and tossing snowballs at Draco and his crew. But she was grateful that they all seemed to be getting along nowadays.
Harry Potter: A Different Beginning (Ezralora and I only)
Macha chewed the inside of her cheek for a moment as she rubbed her nose a little. She could pretty much feel the redness of it as she buried it back into the folds of her scarf. "You and Draco going to the ball together i assume?" She asked her with a smile in the voice, "I bet you have already picked out the perfect suit for him to wear to match your new dress." She teased as she glanced over at the other three. For now though she was glad to be reconnecting with her sister, especially after a rocky start. She was happy for her and Draco's relationship, but she was allowed be sisterly at times and not like the guy for taking her away from her for a bit of time.
Harry Potter: A Different Beginning (Ezralora and I only)
Izybel was looking towards her sister for a brief moment in time before she spoke "Of course we are going together, but that doesn't mean that I'm going to abandon you as well. As for his suit, nope I haven't picked out anything yet. But I shall." With that she was giving a slight grin before she was looking towards the other three to see who they were going with. Oh seemed like they didn't even know yet, well that wasn't a major shock to her at all. The red head was pursing her lips for a brief moment in time before she commented, "They will be announcing the contestants for the tournament tomorrow."
Harry Potter: A Different Beginning (Ezralora and I only)
"Yes they will, and i'm sure that the champions will be getting a bit more love thrown at them." She said in a slight mocking tone as she brushed hand over the hem of her scarf. "Without someone slipping in Harry's name, and without the pale snake charmer it should be a flawless competition of participating and victory for one." Macha frowned a little as she felt a small chill run up her spine and looked around the place. "Makes you wonder what father intends to achieve through having us attend here. We aren't exactly attracting followers or converting anyone... It kind of seems... like he wants us out of the way for the moment."
Harry Potter: A Different Beginning (Ezralora and I only)
Izybel just looked over before she was giving a nod of her head, and commenting that that was most definitely the truth. She was however tilting her head slightly at the comment about their father. "Who knows what goes through his mind half the time. I stopped trying to figure it out years ago." she spoke with a slight shrug, before she was pushing some of her hair from her face. Nope whatever their father was planning, it would eventually become privy to them, she hoped anyways. But until then she was going to enjoy living this life as a Hogwarts student, and continue to make new friends. Or totally screw up the entire school in general with her own pranks and mischief.
Harry Potter: A Different Beginning (Ezralora and I only)
Macha blinked before shaking her head as she smiled, "I wish i could have your attitude towards that." She pointed out as she began to walk again, moving away from the three as she tore her eyes away and stomped some feeling back into her feet. A habit she thought was kind of practical in away. "Is there anything else we need? Or should we just head back and call it a day. Because i don't know about you, but if i have to get one more item of clothing i might just start setting fire to things."
Harry Potter: A Different Beginning (Ezralora and I only)
Izybel was just chuckling before she commented, "Besides trying to figure out what is on his mind, is like trying to figure out what is on my mind." Valid point there. She was always scheming something, sometimes it was something that would get her into trouble, or it was something to help people. After that she was looking towards her sister when she was commenting that she would start a fire if she has to get one more item of clothing. This had her giggling softly before she spoke, "Yeah I agree with getting back." Why did she want to go back? She was frozen... and the twins may or may not have had something planned that they needed her help with. Dinner was going to be quite interesting, more so than just names being pulled out of the goblet.
Harry Potter: A Different Beginning (Ezralora and I only)
Macha looked her over carefully as her gaze narrowed slightly as she looked at her sister carefully. Trying to read her was like trying to read a school book. You know you had to at times, but at the same time you didn't as you were scared about what you'd find. "Okay then... let's get moving." She said as she adjusted her grip on her bags and began to walk, her boots trudging along the path as she did so. She wasn't going to ask what was being planned, or if there was going to be anything planned. That would take some of the surprise out of it, that and she wanted to at least have the option to freaking deny what was going on if it back fired horribly. Which she was fairly certain it would not.

College is expensive. This is something Rey knew in her head, in her bones, in every second of her day when she considered attending one of the top engineering schools in the world. She hadn t actually considered that she d get in, nor that her student visa to move from the UK to the US would get approved. Yet here she was, a sophomore with a full class load and a 4.0. She d done her math what felt like a thousand times when her acceptance letter came in, crunched the numbers of attending so often they seemed imbedded behind her eyelids even when she closed them. With her scholarship, grants, financial aid, and savings itshouldhave been enough.Half the problem with American schools, as she would come to find, is that they tacked on a good dozen or so fees you didn t know about until the bill was received. Oh, that and the fact that a bunch of nameless college officials could get together every year and decide to jack up the prices what they considered a reasonable number to compensate for inflation. Funny how that didn t effect or raise scholarship though, or change the fact that the federal minimum wage hadn t risen more than a quarter over the last few years. Funny.With a student visa, Rey could not do traditional work and she damn sure wasn t about to risk losing everything working under the table. That fact, coupled with the outrageous 4k a semester for board and another 4k for a meal plan on top of regular school and living expenses left her little choice but to pile a work study on top of her overflowing plate. She should count her lucky stars she even qualified for it.Funny that, the American concept that students could demonstrate need for financial aid but not be needful enough to meet an seemingly arbitrary threshold set by the government.She stood in the quiet study room in the upper left wing of the library, outrageously early, and too nervous to sit. Her supplies were laid out neatly on the table and she preened at her tucked in button up, hoping she looked the part. It was late in the season, there was only one student in need, and yet her advisor was oddly reluctant to give her even that. Were they really so hard out on money that a few hours of minimum wage a week was too much for a student in need to ask? Maybe they think I ll be terrible at teaching. Her eyebrows knitted together as she pushed the insecure thought away and straightened her uncomfortable name tag. She knew the subject like the back of her hand being a bad teacher shouldn t be possible.

Why he was even required to take higher level math courses, he didn t know he was going to be graduating the following spring with a dual major in political science and English literature, on the fast track to accepting an internship with one of the city s top law firms upon completion of his degree and entrance into grad school but it had been arbitrarily placed upon him as a requirement, and that was when he found out his skills in math had deteriorated greatly since high school. He d always been passable at it, but not skilled to the point of being able to pursue a career in something less volatile , as his mother had put it, but as he d paid less attention to his entry level requirement math classes and more attention to things that would actually help him with his degree, he d found his Calculus grade suffering to the point that they were threatening to fail him. If he didn t pass the class, he wouldn t be able to get his degree, and the firm would rescind their invitation, and then He wouldn t allow himself to dwell on that. The insecurities that had long since plagued him, drilled into him from childhood by a family that seemed far more successful than he could ever hope to be, would not take this chance to strike out on his own away from him. With his tail between his legs, he d gone to his professor, who had sent him along with a hastily written phone number for someone the professor had called Ray . So, on a Thursday night when he should have been working on his thesis or getting a head start on the predicted graduate courses, sneak peeks fed to him by Professor Holdo, who had taken a shine to him even though he was Han and Leia s son rather than because of it, he was making the trek to the library, a place he hadn t spent time in since he was a sophomore himself. Already in a foul mood, in no temperament to be spending time with some snot nosed underclassman who thought himself to be an expert in the subject, probably someone with just as little social experience as him which would be his only saving grace he could probably brashly shove his way through the interactions, his gruff tone and intimidating stature enough to bully the sure to be nerd into getting him up to snuff and passable. When he was met with the sight of a petite brunette with her things spread out on the table his tutor had directed him to, his scowl only deepened. Excuse me, he barked as he plunked his backpack onto one of the chairs, taking another and pulling it out far enough to make space for his six foot three frame. You re in my spot. I m meeting someone here, so why don t you go work on your Communications 101 homework somewhere else?

Rey still wasn t sitting, but considering her petite statue and the above average height of the conference table she didn t have to do much leaning. Luckily the university had not changed versions of her calculus book out for the newest year, so she needn t buy another, in fact she could have sold this one back to put a bit of cash in her pocket were it not for every available margin being filled with her notes. She held a highlighter, still capped, between her index and middle finger as she used it to guide her reading along her meticulously taken notes that she d written just a hair too tiny for comfort in effort to fit them all in.In came big foot, stomping or rather, just awfully heavy on the hollow sounding floor and throwing his bag around like he owned the place. If he was anything like the majority of the student body his parents very likelydidown some part of the school and he was acting like an entitled brat because of it.Chances are, if hewas one of those my parents paid my way to ivy league students he d be picking her apart with his eyes in seconds. That old money always seemed to see the age of her clothing, no matter how pressed and pristine, and the callouses and scars on her hands as if they were fresh and inflamed.Rey was already on the defensive in her head. Outwardly, she forced a stiff smile as she lifted the cover of her text book and tapped her high lighter to it. Calculus, first through fourth. She corrected then pointed that same highlighter towards the laminated sheet on the door. I know you may not be aware of the change, but this conference room is now schedule based use instead of open use. You will need to schedule with the library admin forty eight hours in advance if you want a two hour time block. This one is mine, and I m afraid there will not be enough room for both you and my student. Then she took her seat, emphasizing her claim.It was true that there would be enough room, probably, maybe there was another chair if he moved his damn backpack. The room was already on the small side, probably a broom closet or storage space before they converted it. His size made it feel smaller, cramped even. Rey s eyes ran over him, dark hair, disgruntled expression, looking like he might have just eaten something sour and slumping a little. Was the table too short or did he have bad posture? And why was he so prickly?Suddenly, something clicked a brief memory of her advisor muttering something about a prickly boy and good luck be with her while she walked out of her cubicle after procuring the one and only student available. Her eyes finally met his. You re my student. She breathed, the statement pulling all of her tension out along with it as if it were a sigh. She visibly softened too, maybe even slouched a little. A little. My name is Rey, but you probably knew that already. I wasn t given your name on account of some student privacy policy or because Ms. Kanata thought I would harass you for homework a pause, as Rey turned a thought around in her head a few times. which if you do have some of your homework with you I d like to look it over, along with any notes you ve taken. Especially on anything you don t understand.

The confused expression etched into his face only deepened as she continued to speak, caramel eyes squinting as he attempted to figure out just who this girl thought she was. If she was anyone to be known, he would already know her it wasn't that he was popular around campus, but he was certainly well known. Hell, an entire wing of campus was named in his mother's honor, the family long since making donations to its alumni fund whether under the Organa name or the Skywalker name of his grandparents. That, combined with his volatile personality and academic standing, had led to most students at least knowing of him and likely knowing to steer clear of needling him into one of his infamous rages. This girl was doing quite the opposite, though, taking a seat opposite him as though she could merely tell him to leave and he'd obey, continuing her falsely confident statements until a metaphorical light bulb illuminated over her head. She introduced herself Rey, not Ray, and he smacked himself mentally for not asking for more details from the professor, thinking the location of the conference room would be enough for him to ferret out the nervous looking student who had been bribed into taking him on as a tutoring client and his scowl turned to an expression of disbelief, of suspicion. He had always been far too expressive with his emotions, unable to contain them to the point of not having a poker face, and around the girl Rey, he had to struggle to correct himself, she'd more than established at least the respect for using her name rather than a dismissive term that certainly didn't seem to change. "You're saying you're the calculus expert Maz told me about?" he clarified, his shock evident in his tone. How could this girl she looked barely old enough to be enrolled as a freshman, let alone the minimum sophomore age required to take the slightly advanced course be that good, so good that she'd been given him as a student when he was going to be graduating the following semester? And how didn't she know his name? Surely, Maz had given her some sort of warning, he thought, until he considered the situation further and realized that of course, she hadn't. Maz was a brilliant woman, but she was manipulative, more than even him, and he could see her leaning back in her chair at her desk and cackling at the fact that she'd thrown the girl to the wolves. Still, Maz was one of the people close to his parents that he trusted to know what she was talking about, and if she'd assigned Rey to him, she clearly thought she could handle him. He'd show her otherwise, if he had anything to do with it. Leaning back further in his chair, he tipped it off its front legs so he could lean it back slightly, his arm resting on the table behind him to aid his balance. "Look, isn't teaching me this shit your job? I wouldn't be coming to you if I was doing the homework well, and I doubt you could even read my writing, let alone decipher the way I take notes. I'm sure you have to have some sort of course prepared or they wouldn't let you tutor, so let's see what you've got." Pausing, he studied her, before offering one hand for her to shake. "Ben Organa Solo, by the way. You should probably know that by now if you pay attention on campus at all."

He looked downright confused by her. Her assertiveness perhaps? Unwillingness to bow to bullying when she knew she was in the right? Rey was proud of her ability to stand firm, especially with how often she d metaphorically broken her back in the past bowing to others out of necessity. If his confusion had stayed steady she d be chuffed and start preening her collar again, but then came the disbelief and following suspicion and then he just had to saythat. Yes. No qualifiers, or justifying herself. Her voice was flat, the look in her hazel eyes equally so. Being a woman, and young one at that while looking youngerstillthan she was due to her slight frame she knew she didn t look the part. She got the same looks and suspicious questioning in robotics club and whenever she volunteered at the local garage. Rey should be use to having to prove herself. Familiarity didn t stop the sensation of pins pricking up her spine at the thought of being underestimated.He tilted back in his chair and the thoughts Pompous and Brat rang in her head while she schooled her expression into one of cool neutrality. She listened to him, but her eyes diverted as she opened the textbook and orange binder to the current pages, her tongue pressed hard to the roof of her mouth as she formulated what should have been a icy reply until he cut her train of thought off by introducing himself. She looked back up to his offered hand massive, elegant, far less blemished than her own and gave him a firm and respectable handshake.His name tickled two sources of familiarity: the first being the overheard whispers of Terrifying. and Unstable delinquent. and maybe even a little Destruction of school property sprinkled here and there from guys in her robotics club. The second source was the last name Organa. No way the name of one of the biggest alumni contributors with their name stamped on half a building was a common one.So hewasone those.Ugh. And now what? He was trusting his name and reputation to precede him, for her to roll out the red carpet and fall on her knees and beg for his good graces and connections?She blinked, a beat passing that felt felt like a big question mark had formed over her head while she feigned a look of blank confusion, like she d never heard that name before in her life. Riighht I don t pay mind to gossip or student forums. Nice to meet you Ben Organa Solo. She tapped her highlighter against the page of the text book, drawing attention back to it. Moving on. Teaching is actually you and your teachers responsibility, I m here to help you understand the material. Understanding is different, because it s personal. She gave him a pointed look but the gold tin sitting beside her supplies caught her eye. She d almost forgotten it. I do have a lesson plan. It covers from chapter one to twenty, and at this point in the semester you re probably on chapter thirteen. Reviewing chapter thirteen with you doesn t do you any good because calculus is cumulative and failing it now means you didn t understand one of the chapter prior to it. I need to know which one. Rey grabbed the tin, snapping it open with a metallic sound before placing the lid under it. The large and slightly misshapen snickerdoodle cookies within were exceptionally aromatic. Extra cinnamon. She slid the tin across the table to him. I need to see your homework and your notes. It will save you time, since I won t have to start from the first chapter. Unless she narrowed her eyes at him.Pompous. Entitled. There was a good chance he had been coasting through the majority of his classes on the downright bribery of his parents. The school had only recently started cracking down on that kind of thing after multiple student reports of it had blown up on social media. Unless you haven t done any of the work and we need to start from the beginning regardless.

At the very least, he d give it to her that she had a firm handshake. It reminded him a bit too much of his mother for comfort, diplomatic, but with an icy edge, like she was giving off the air of respect but deep down was plotting his murder. He wouldn t put it past the resourceful girl to know where to hide a body. My parents would love her flitted through his mind, and he brushed it away with a bitter scowl. Of course, they would, he thought they d love any kid more than their own, especially one that seemed so like them. Whereas Ben had been moody, isolating, and downright contrary from the start not from the start, of course, but they d tell the story that way, and who was he to correct them? he could tell this girl was full of fire. Not many would stand up to him and remain unscathed to tell the tale, and while it had angered him at first, it morphed into a sort of intrigue. Everyone had a breaking point, everyone could be pushed so far as to rise to battle with him he just had to find hers. Benjamin Organa Solo never did back away from a challenge. It wasn t in his blood. He eyed the tin suspiciously as she slid it across the table, reaching out to pick one up and holding it away from his face to scrutinize it as though it were going to bite him. They smelled delicious, but he wasn t in the habit of accepting food from strangers, as nice as this one seemed. One bad drug test could threaten his spot on the water polo team, and considering he had recently been made captain and he knew the team couldn t succeed without him along with the fact that it allowed him to humanely let out his aggression, whether that be by training or by fouling when the referees weren t watching he had to be skeptical of everything he consumed. Thankfully, he had turned twenty two that year, and as such wouldn t be penalized for alcohol, or he might have gone insane. There s nothing in these, is there? he questioned, bringing it closer to his face to sniff before holding it away again, eventually setting it down on top of one of his unused notebooks. Letting his chair fall back down so that all four legs connected with the floor, a loud clunk resounding in the quiet hall, he leaned forward to study her. Well, if I m gonna be paying you, I might as well get my money s worth, he said with a slight shrug of one shoulder. Start from the beginning. I d hate to see you make a lesson plan for nothing, he teased her, his emphasis on the words only sounding mocking.

Rey watches Ben with her peripheral as she flips through her binder. He was so,soprickly and she knew she should be annoyed with him. She could be,would be, so red in the face and practically barking at him now if she had let her temper flare but she didn t. He was frustrating sure, mostly in a way that made her want to grab his broad shoulders and shake him until he listened to her. Of course he was also incredibly entertaining,stimulatingeven, his verbal jabs lighting up her brain like she was working on something mechanical. Maybe she should join the debate team?He looks at her cookie with such suspicion, and when he implies shes laced it with drugs and gives it a sniff she can t help the way her lips quirk upwards and an undignified snort leaves her nose. His paranoia is comical. Oh yes She mocks, abruptly reaching across the table and snatching a cookie from the tin. my cookies are full of a brain stimulating drug called sugar. Not to mention cinnamon, flour, a pinch of salt and an unhealthy amount of butter. Then to satisfy some weird urge to, what flex her metaphorical nuts? She isn t sure, but she shoves the entire cookie in her mouth in one go. Which was a mistake because she can t quite look at him with her mouth full without the threat of laughing and spitting snickerdoodle all over her books.Her throat bobs when she swallows, the too big bite stinging on the way down though she manages not to show it.The way he mentions paying her catches Rey s ear, throwing all prior processing thoughts out the window as she suddenly feels tugged in two different directions. She needs the money, of that she is certain, and him paying her plus the meager amount she is getting paid by the school means she could easily double her income for tutoring without the extra effort. There was the option to let him remain under the impression that he was the one paying her, but was the risk worth it?Her teeth click together as she makes her decision, her stomach pulling itself into a deft knot in her middle. You won t be paying my anything, Ben. Im doing this as part of my work study. Ultimately the risk is too much and he is too well known. Her student visa could easily be invalidated if the school or anyone else found out she was double dipping or working under the table.He teases her, and she should bite back, but the brief thought of losing everything she had worked so hard for sombers her exponentially. Okay, then let s start with chapter one. I have my guideline here she taps the handwritten pages of her binder. It mostly a review of algebra three and a refresher of how to read equations. We can easily cover it and chapter two today to reinforce your calculus foundation. Rey commences the lesson, and at some point during the two hours they are together she gets tired of passing books back and force and slides her chair and all of her supplies up next to him instead. He ll find that she actually pretty good at explaining things, and intuitive enough to know when he has questions he neglects to ask. She never takes a break from being difficult, but maybe that s a good thing. When they finally get to the first set of simple problems she won t leave him alone until he works them in front of her and then when she looks them over she explains when he s wrong. It s almost worse when he s right, because then she won t let him have it until he provides an in depth explanation as to why his work is right.Rey has a whole lot of high expectations, she even gives Ben homework. Then she ll stress that he shows his work until her eyes are twitching and she s blue in the face.Somehow, she manages to never insult his intelligence and when he deserves her praises, she gives it in subtle abundance.

When Ben had been informed that he would need a tutor to bump up his grade no longer able to skate by on athletic performance, money, or name value he had initially been reluctant, to say the least. At best, he had figured that he would be able to bully the kid through doing all his work and schmooze his way through the final exam after all, even though the school had told him that money wasn t a way to get by anymore, there was a price for everything, and he d be willing to find it if it meant leaving college behind and finally starting off in the working world. He had spent his whole life watching his mother use her Skywalker lineage and watching his father lie and charm to get what they wanted why couldn t he do the same? But as the tutoring session went on, he found that he liked spending time with the girl, something he hadn t been able to say about anyone in well, he couldn t remember how long it had been. He tolerated most people in his life, but that was mainly because they had something beneficial to offer him his parents for their money, his teammates for their collective athletic success, his mentor for his ability to give Ben a boost in the corporate world based on what he did rather than who he was. This girl didn t know who he was and didn t seem to give a damn, and she intrigued him with her mix of attitude and gracelessness. Watching her shove the entire cookie in her mouth as though it would fit, stubbornly chewing and swallowing it even though he could tell she was struggling not to spit it out, was endearing. So, instead of arguing and lashing out well, he did a bit of that, but that was to be expected if she wasn t going to drop her attitude, he wasn t either, even if he was acutely aware that he had been the one to start things off on a combative front he put his nose to the books and did the work, although clumsily at first. By the end of the lesson, he found that he could work through equations he hadn t bothered with trying before, pleasantly surprised that it came naturally to him. It was a frustrating and exhausting endeavor, with her constantly pointing out his mistakes, but at the end of the lesson, he found himself with a better understanding of the subject than when he walked in, which was enough of an improvement for him to consider the day a success. In fact, he found himself disappointed when their lesson ended, an alert on his phone ringing to warn him that he had only a half hour until water polo practice. Shit, he muttered, silencing his phone as it blared incessantly from his pocket. Gotta run. Practice, he offered her in way of an explanation as he stood, messily shoving his things into his backpack and slinging it over his shoulder. Hurriedly, he scribbled his number down on a piece of scrap paper, sliding it over the table to her with a half smile. Let me know when we need to do this again, okay? I ll try and make time. With that, he jogged from the library, taking the steps from the upper wing two at a time. Over the next few weeks, he and Rey found themselves establishing a civil rapport, often littered with the bickering that had made their first meeting so memorable, but ending on a relatively unbothered note, save from the time he d met up with her after a particularly tough meeting with his mentor. Snoke meant well, Ben knew, and he only expected more than Ben could give to challenge him and prepare him for the workplace, but that didn t mean that it didn t get tiring going from one person insinuating he was stupid to the next, and he d had a minor blow up at Rey due to pent up stress. He d gruffly apologized by the end of it, but he knew she was likely still bothered, so he d made a note to at least try to be nice at their next session. On his way to another meeting with Snoke, Ben s car, a sleek, black, brand new Mercedes S Class, began sputtering, and he smacked the steering wheel as he pulled it into the parking lot of a grocery store, getting out and yelling in frustration as he saw the smoke coming from under the hood. After placing a call to the dealership he d purchased it from only to find that they didn t have any appointments open he d reamed out the poor receptionist, dropping at least three instances of do you know how much I spent on this car? in their conversation he flipped through dealerships on his phone, placing a call to the first one that would take it. Once he had it set, he rode with the tow truck to the dealership, only staying long enough to toss his credit card over the counter and tell them to do what they had to before hopping in an Uber. Snoke had been furious that Ben was late to the meeting, berating him for everything from not prioritizing his time down to buying the wrong car even though Ben had purchased the model he d told him to and he was exhausted by the time he made it back to the mechanic shop to pick up his car. Dark circles rimmed his eyes and his hair was a mess when he walked through the doors, striding to the counter and tapping his fingers on the counter as he waited for someone to bring his keys to him.

At first glance the mechanic shop entrance was empty of any of the actual mechanics, and on top of that there was no bell on the counter or way to alert the men inside the auto bay. The bell on the door should have done that , but upon further inspection there was a rather noisy heater pointed out the open door just behind the counter that masked the noise. That doorway gave an open view of the shop garage. Red, the elder gentlemen that had taken Ben s car in that morning sat in the corner on a ragged looking shop stool nursing a black tumbler of coffee? Tea? From the looks of him and the rosiness of his cheeks it was probably alcohol. A handsome and familiar fellow stood to his right, leaning back against the cluttered counter and flipping a tool from hand to hand, and a little bit further down there was a thin and mousy looking blond man hunched over an old computer. By all appearances they were standing around shooting the shit rather than actually working on the vehicle beside them.If Ben got any closer he could overhear the group of lazy mechanics and see that there was in fact someone working on his car, though they weren t much more than a pair old brown boots from that angle, scuffed to hell and covered in oil stains. I m telling you the engines shot. The blond calls over his shoulder, and Rey thinks she might just kill him. The mechanic shop is her happy place, a place for her to unwind and curse and be who she really is when she s not at school or tutoring or trying to look like some kind of perfect foreign citizen. She loves it so much she volunteers simply because she can t actually work here. No it s not, Skeeter, you ripe plonker! The fuel injector is just clogged beyond Christ! You think a car this beautiful would get regular maintenance. It s a weird kind of love, because her and the guys do nothing but argue and they definitely take advantage of the free labor and spend all of their time fucking around while she s actually fixing things. It s part of the charm. She kind of feels like she s back in foster care, bickering with the rest of the dirty nameless children. Yeah I m gonna order that engine No! Rey is practically vibrating with anger, but she never stops being careful with the piece of equipment she s holding on to underneath the car as she cleans it with a soft brush dipped in some sort of corrosive fluid. You just wanna charge fifteen thousand for an engine replacement, drop it in and call it a day, but I ve already replaced the coolant tank and when I finish cleaning this fuel injector this machine will run likes it fresh off the lot. Replacing the engine without doing that will have it down and truly out in less than month. We don t even need an engine! She s finished, she covered in muck carbon, she thinks, these new expensive models of the s class seem to build it up faster than any old clunker. There should be a recall. Now she s just holding the heavy weight of it above her so she doesn t jostle anything loose before she can screw the pieces of it back on. She reaches out with her free hand to where she keeps her perfectly laid collection of tools in the order she already knows she ll need them. Except now there s one missing. Where my socket wrench? Rey feels around a little more, confirming the missing 10mm wrench, and she already knows who took it. DAMERON!! You bloody wanker! Where d you take my fucking wrench? And it s like she s pulled a string on his back, because next thing she knows he s all charm and stupid smiles and she can t see them but she knows it s there as he leans close to the car but just out of reach. Relax, sweetheart and in the background there is the distinct garbled sound of Red choking on his drink when Rey growls,growls! at Poe from underneath the vehicle. Red and Skeeter feels like they should step in, because damn Dameron s making a very bad decision right before their very eyes, but they don t. I m right here. You don t need to yell. Here s your precious socket wrench. He drops the tool into her open hand and as soon as it connects Rey s kicking her feet in his direction, trying to get a solid connected kick in but he s already slipping away from her. So she curses him instead. You goddamn short, dodgy, salad tossing, bell end! When I m done mounting this fuel injector I m going unmount your stupid balls, stick them up your sphincter dry, and then I m gonna kick your ass again! She yelling, so much that her voice echos a little in the concrete space. Skeeter is snickering. I m starting to think you like it, D. The reddening of Poe s ears is tell enough to make the other two men break down laughing.Rey slides herself and the dirty rolling creeper she s laying on out from underneath the car. She wears brown pants and a ribbed off white tank, not that the color of those things is discernible at all considering the amount of stains. She s absolutely filthy, covered in black muck and oil, some of that oil from the car and some of it that is most definitely hers from all the sweating she s done today. She turns the towel previously draped around her neck to its slightly cleaner side and uses it to wipe her sweaty face, and she s only about mid face wipe when she freezes. In that moment her eyes lock with the must be owner of the car, her student, and someone she would rather never see her out of the most professional attire. Honestly, she d rather be caught with her pants down than in the state she s in now.

Upon walking into the mechanic s, Ben hadn t thought the day could get any more irritating. It had been a long day, stretching over thirteen hours from when he d left his townhouse to when he d gone to pick up his car, and most of it had been spent with his mentor alternating breathing down his neck and berating him for his supposed shortcomings. It wasn t that he wasn t used to it quite the contrary, considering he d dealt with it from his parents growing up, then his uncle, then Snoke, so it was more of a constant than anything else in his life but it did tend to wear him out, and if the bags under his eyes or his trademark slouch worsening by the second didn t sell him out, his attitude surely would. Not that he was pleasant to begin with but exhausted, he was even more of a force to be reckoned with. He tapped the desk once, twice, three times, before his eyes darted towards a pen on the counter. After drumming it on the surface a few times, he lifted it and stared at it for a few moments before aiming it like a paper airplane and chucking it into the shop if that didn t get someone s attention, he was going to jump the counter and demand it, but just as the object left his hand, his eyes connected with one of the mechanics as they pulled a towel down their face revealing Rey s face, which thankfully was not the one hit by the flying pen. Ow, god damn it, who the fuck Poe sputtered, picking up the pen and storming towards the front of the shop, his face breaking out in a smarmy grin as he came face to face or as close to it as he could, with their six inch height difference with Ben. Fucking Dameron, Ben groaned, rolling his eyes as he stepped back from the counter, having to ball his fists underneath his armpits as he crossed his arms over his chest to keep himself from lashing out and punching him. Of course, he had to deal with Dameron. Poe Dameron, asshole extraordinaire, son of his parents best friends and everything his parents had ever wanted in a son, stood before him, looking ridiculous with an ink smear on his forehead being the only mar on his otherwise perfect tanned face. No grease or sweat stained him, proof that he was there more to mess around than he was to work, which was a perfect description of the older version of the kid Ben had grown up spiking the punch at his parents functions with. To say they had grown apart during high school would be an understatement they d gone so far in their separate ways that if Ben jumped across the counter to punch him, it wouldn t be the first time and it likely wouldn t be the last. Is that any way to talk to the guy who has your precious gas guzzler up on a lift right now? Poe teased with a smirk, leaning back against the half wall that divided the cramped office with the shop in the back. Eyes narrowing, Ben stepped to the counter again, gesturing back towards the other mechanics, including Rey. You don t have my car on a lift, they do, because I guarantee you wouldn t dare get your manicure dirty, Ben growled as he motioned for Poe to move to the side. Now get someone out here so I can pay for my repairs. I don t trust you with my credit card. You left it with us, Benny. You re lucky Rey here stopped us. Not that often we get a special snowflake AmEx black in here. We coulda charged you for a brand new car and you probably wouldn t have noticed, Poe teased, but as Ben made a half hearted swipe for him, he laughed and darted into the back. He s all yours, sunshine, Poe sang as he wrapped his arms around the shoulders of the other two men, disappearing towards the back of the shop. Ben was seething. He swore he saw red as he clenched his eyes shut and took a deep breath to calm himself down. When he reopened them, he stepped back from the counter again. Can I please just get my car and go home? he called to Rey, the pleasantry sounding anything but.
Star Wars College AU (Solo & Sabre)
Rey feels like she s frozen in time, somehow gaping with her mouth closed as Poe talks to Ben and she can t really hear what they re saying to one another but she does now know two things: One, the two men know each other but judging by the body language they are exchanging it s not the friendly sort of relationships, and two when Ben crosses his long arms so far across his chest his hands are in his arm pits he kind of looks like a dying spider, which is weird imagery but whoop there it is.Ben swipes at Poe, who is so much more slippery than people give him credit for, and he skips back in to the garage with that stupid grin on his face before grabbing the other two mechanics. Rey doesn t register what he says next but she does very clearly get the tone when Ben yells across the shop to her. Can I please just get my car and go home? There s a pause, where she considers her option and she really doesn t want to go out there and give him an even better view of her being the mess that she is, but she also realizes that sending drunk, moron, or smarm, is just going to make the situation even worse.Rey stands abruptly and goes to the counter, collecting the coolant tank that looks more like a child s rubber coin pouch now than an actual car part. She stops and tosses the keys to one of the mechanics. Skeeter, bring his car around. Don t let Poe do it. Skeeter solutes her and Poe deflates a little. They all kind of leer at her, watching her like she s some kind of doe going into the lions den when she steps out of the garage into the shop.She isn t keen on letting the guys eavesdrop, so she stops at the door and kicks the heater holding it open to the side. It slams shut behind her.Her eyes haven t quite met Ben yet, she plops the hunk of plastic on the counter and is typing away on the computer in front of him, one hand occasionally coming up to push her the hair that has come out of her ponytail to the side. When she does look up what she see gives her pause.Ben looks... exhausted. She s seen him on a bad day before and been on the receiving end of his usual grumpiness more than once. He had been especially disgruntled and a jerk to her during their last tutoring session, which she s still sore from. There are bags under his eyes, his hair is mussed, his clothes look like he s been sitting in the same position fordays, and she s beginning to worry if he s even slept since the last time she saw him. The printer whirs to life behind her. I m going to make this as quick as possible, but there are some things you need to know. Her voice is soft, even, she decided not to be combative or poke the bear . Her hands fold over the opaque white piece of plastic on the counter. This is your coolant tank and as you can see, it pretty much exploded. There are two caps here And she points out the two yellow caps but taps the one on the left for emphasis. one needs to be tight and the other needs to be loose. Whoever serviced your car last tightened them all the way so when your car started to over heat there wasn t anywhere for the steam to go and the tank swelled to the point of bursting, hence the smoke. I had to replace it, and you re pretty lucky your engine didn t catch fire. She turns around, quickly collecting the stack of papers from the printer that includes his receipt and a diagram that she lays out on the counter. She grabs a red marker and circles a few things on it as she explains them. Your car overheated because your fuel injector was clogged, and I cleaned that out, but it was clogged so prematurely because the bridge that connects it to the engine is shoddy. We can replace it, but that isn t going to do you any good when the only replacement available is the factory part that has the same problem since you ll have to replace it oh, let s say every three to four months until Mercedes finally recalls it in two years. She shows him the receipt too, itemized for everything that s been done. It s actually fair and to the point in comparison to what it could have been. There s a note at the bottom. I ve recommended here that you get the fuel injector cleaned each time you get the car serviced. Insist on it if you have to, otherwise it ll damage your engine over time. Finished up, she shuffles the paper in to a neat stack and prepares to give it to him. But she doesn t, she s just there looking at him with it resting in her hands.Ben looks sotired and like he s slowly sinking into the floor with how heavy is slouch is getting. Driving while fatigued is almost as impairing as drunk driving, and the thought of him getting hurt on his way home ties her stomachs up in knots.She ll blame it on worry, on being frazzled, on just being plain stupid when her next whim tumbles right out of her mouth before she can stop it. Can I drive you home? She cringes internally the second it s out of her mouth. It s genuine, concerned. It sounds like the wrong thing to say too, the kind of thing that will rub him the wrong way one iota too far and he ll snap. She goes stiff all over, bracing herself as she finally offers up his receipt.

With the others retreating into the back, his anger slowly subsides, but he can feel it still churning inside him, only tampered down by the waves of exhaustion that crash against him. All his limbs feel like they re made of cement, and he finds himself resting one forearm against the counter to keep himself propped up. If he lets go, he doesn t know if his legs have enough left in them to hold him up all he wants to do is go home and crash until he needs to be up for class in the morning. Totaling the hours up in his head, if he skips breakfast and orders something at the caf outside the English building in between morning classes, he can manage around seven hours that s if he can get out of there relatively quickly, something he finds he s not going to do in as little time as he wants when Rey starts talking. He tries to focus on her words really, he does, and he manages to absorb some of them but he s grateful that she s also jotting her notes down on the papers in front of her. At the very least, he can present them to the next mechanic when he takes his car in for the next check, though after all the trouble he s gone through with it that day and how disparaging Rey is in her comments about it, he s half tempted to take the thing back and trade it in for something more reliable. There had to be something flashy enough to satisfy Snoke and still be something that wouldn t leave him stranded before his meetings maybe he d ask Rey about it when he started being able to form coherent sentences again. As it stands, all that he manages to do is nod as she speaks, finally taking a second pen and scribbling his signature on the copy of the receipt she would need to keep. It s nothing like his normal elegant handwriting, but he doesn t trust himself to write anything halfway legible if he has to focus on it for more than a few seconds, so the scribble would have to do. It s only when she blurts out an offer to drive him home, hurried and almost tinged with regret, that his head snaps up to really look at her. Despite being just as disheveled as he is, while he must look dead on his feet she s quite the opposite, glowing with happiness even as she looks him over with concern. He can tell she s in her element there, covered with grease and in clothes that he can t even tell what color they were originally but they surely aren t that color anymore, and he briefly wonders when the last time was that he felt that happy. Despite focusing on it for an abnormally long time, he comes up with nothing. I I don t want to bother you, he mumbles, trying to pick up the stack of papers but dropping them back onto the counter as soon as he tries to tighten his grip, his muscles in his hands going slack instead. Pawing at them, he manages to shuffle them back into a somewhat organized stack, tucking them in between his bicep and his side instead. On second thought Maybe it s a good idea. It isn t a good idea, and he knows that he should just take an Uber home and have another bring him back in the morning to pick up his vehicle, but that would add on more time spent waiting for the cars and another stranger he d have to force at least marginal interaction with, and he thinks he s maxed his quota out for both those things with the day he s had. Can we leave now? he asks hopefully. I don t know when your shift is over but I really need to get home.

Ben doesn t yell at Rey. She stays cringing for a few moments more, just in case. Instead he mumbles and answer to her, which is incredibly jarring for someone that s never heard him do anything less than perfectly annunciate each word. Her downcast gaze snaps back up to him, her hazel eyes wide as she stares at him rather dumbly for a moment.He accepts her offer, sort of, and shes gaping because this is not the path she expected this interaction to take at all. She shoves the niggling little voice in the back of her head back where she can t hear it. It doesn t matter what she expected, this is where she is now. I m a volunteer, I can leave whenever I want. Rey grabs her old brown coat from under the desk and shrugs it on. It isn t pretty, stained from years of use and covered in carefully mended holes and patches, but it s much cleaner than her shirt and she would absolutely hate to get oil anywhere on the pristine interior of his car. She comes to stand beside Ben, not quite touching him but standing close. She hovers like a mother would around a newly walking toddler, prepared to catch him. He s got a foot and probably eighty pounds on her, and strong as she is she doesn t think she could hold him up if he falls, but she could at least break his fall. Let s go. Maybe maybe uh, concentrate on staying upright. Here, I ll get the door. She takes tentative steps away and opens the door for him. It chilly and dark outside. Rey s breath is immediately visible but just past that is the steam rising from his car, already on and waiting for him in the parking lot with Skeeter leaning against the driver side door.Rey hovers next to him the entire trip to the car, gently steering if she needs to. It s unlike her to fret so much or be over protective. She tries not to dwell on it, but she can t breath a sigh of relief until he s safely sitting in the passenger side seat, however long it actually takes him to get there.Skeeters eyes are bugging behind his coke bottle glasses when she asks him for the keys. You re seriously gonna drive this guy home? He doesn t say it, but there s an unasked question of whether she s sure that s safe for her to do, Rey glowers at him and snatches the keys from his hand without asking again. I am. Consider me signed off for the night too. You know him? He s a friend. Ooh I see. You don t see a damn thing Skeeter. Get your eyes checked. And with that Rey butts him out of the way.She gets in the car, adjusts her sights and the seat. She turns on the cars gps too, selects home and hopes its right or that he ll correct her if it s not. Her eyes briefly flit to poor, exhausted Ben, wherever or however he may be at that given moment. Don t worry, she gives him a half smile. I m a good driver, promise. Maybe he can take a nap while she drives.If he gives her the chance she does prove to be a very good driver. She shows him that she s incorrigibly careful and good at maneuvering, rolling into stops and turns slow and smoothly enough not to jostle him. More so, she appears to just enjoy being behind the wheel and wears a little smile the entire drive.

The exhaustion only compounds as time goes on, and by the time she reiterates her offer confirming that it hadn t just been a hallucination, which he had suspected it wouldn t be the first time he d started seeing or hearing things from lack of sleep he s barely moving of his own accord, autopilot taking over as he follows her instructions and exits the shop. The cold barely registers, his cheeks flushing pink and the small puffs materializing in front of his nose as he breathes being the only indication he doesn t shiver and he doesn t make any effort to pull his coat tighter around him, because he doesn t truly feel the cold. If anything, it comforts him, the brisk air a metaphorical slap in the face that brings him back to conscious thought. Rey all five foot something of her slight frame guides him into the passenger seat, his large frame flopping into the plush leather with a thwump , and he paws behind him clumsily to slide the seat back and give his legs some room. He feels out of place, completely aware that that wasn t where he was supposed to be sitting in his own car seeing the interior from the opposite side feels surreal, though he supposes that could be compounded by his tired state. Nothing feels real at that point, especially seeing the bright, bubbly girl slide into the driver s seat like she was meant to be there. The curt, crisp voice of his GPS starts to ring through the speakers, the sound being the only thing coming from them. He doesn t listen to music often when he drives either the soothing classical music he uses to study would lull him to sleep, or the intense, angry hardcore he preferred during his free time would cause him to drive even more aggressively than he usually did. Getting into an accident because of his own anger would only infuriate Snoke more, and if their earlier meeting was any indication, he couldn t afford to do that. Better than I d be, I m sure, he mutters under his breath as he runs a hand through his unruly black waves, attempting to tame them to make himself look a little less crazy. Sorry you well, you didn t have to drive me home, but you get it. Words weren t his strong suit on a good day, and the intricacies of language were completely lost on his addled brain. Still. Sorry.

The silver detailing on the steering wheel sticks out apart from the black on black onmoreblack of the rest of dash, shiny and perfect. Rey doesn t look at it, but her thumbs frequently smooth over the textured metal in appreciation. The car is beautiful and drives perfectly steady despite its flaw. She can t recall ever driving something so luxurious and expensive it feels like a privilege. Her smile causes fine creases around her eyelids, the only way to tell the expression is genuine.The night is dark, the car is dark, and its only through passing street lamps and her peripheral vision that she gets a glimpse of Ben trying to soothe his wild hair back into place. When he says sorry the word feels like it echoes through her addled mind.Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.Ad infinitum.That s exaggerating, of course, but she does feel a certainwayabout hearing him say it. Perhaps it dances too close to frayed edges of bitter memories. Perhaps it s the implication that he s burdening her. Don t be sorry, she says, her tone too gentle to be chiding. for accepting my help. You re not burdening me, I m being... thoughtful. And she makes that half a laugh noisy nasal exhalation. Like the notion of her being thoughtful is so downright silly. You will arrive in three miles. Your destination is on the left. I Rey starts, but thinks better of it and snaps her mouth shut. Her tongue runs back and forth against her teeth. She has a philosophy she thinks he could benefit from, a philosophy of the saying thank you instead of sorry and all of the grace of gratitude, but it s difficult to put into words and he s probably too tired to appreciate a lecture.Her eyes briefly flick to him, then back to the road. Despite better reasoning her self imposed silence never lasts very long. Knowing you re safe and going to make it home in one piece gives me peace of mind I m grateful for. You have arrived at your destination. Rey pulls the car up to his residence and parks in the appropriate location. Funny how she s followed all of the directions of the gps but didn t digest the majority of them. Now she s not exactly sure what side of town they re in but this doesn t look anything like standard campus housing.

He s in and out during the drive home if he isn t taking micro naps where he blacks out entirely, he s in a daze, barely registering where he is or what her words are. She could kidnap him easily, overpower him and toss him in a river, and briefly he wonders if she s even visualized it. She seems too kind, too sweet, too pure to think about doing anything of the sort, which is another tally in the column of reasons he shouldn t be allowing her this close to him. He s a monster he spends his days picturing a hundred and one ways to make anyone who even mildly inconveniences him disappear, while she gets off work and offers to drive a near stranger home because she s worried about them getting home safely. They couldn t be more different if they tried, and he knows it. It doesn t stop him from wanting it not to be true. There s still good in him somewhere, isn t there? He wants to believe there is, if not for himself, then for her. As his eyes blink open again outside his townhome, he realizes it s the first car ride he s had where he hasn t offhandedly wanted the car to veer off an embankment. He s not sure what that means, but the significance isn t lost on him. Shifting in the seat, he puts his wide palms on the leather on either side of him, pulling himself up from the half upright position he d slumped into during his brief slumber. He rubs at his eyes and attempts to brush his hair from in front of his eyes, looking in the rearview mirror on the passenger side to see a picture of exhausted mess if he s ever seen one. Rey s spent the entire day elbow deep in grease and she still looks more put together than he does he winces at his reflection before turning away from it, thankful that the darkness outside makes him invisible in the window behind her. He d much rather look at her, anyway. It s a moment before he speaks, his voice hoarse with the little sleep he d managed to get. Her words echo in his mind home, one piece, safe and he feels a bit choked up at knowing she d cared that much. No one had ever cared that much. He can t even remember the last time someone s cared at all. I m home, he mumbles, both as a way to fill the silence that s beginning to make him uncomfortable and as a verbal wondering not that he didn t think they d make it home, she was a perfectly suitable driver, but she could have just as easily stolen his car and dropped him off in the middle of the city and he d have been none the wiser until he woke up with his wallet gone. You brought me home. It s repetitive, but he still can t believe it. Shaking his head, he unclicks the seatbelt, pausing before opening the door. I really can t thank you enough. The words feel foreign to him he can t remember the last time he s thanked someone, usually preferring a clipped nod if he acknowledges someone else s actions at all. Can I get you an Uber home, at least? You can come in and wait if you want.

Rey isn t surprised Ben lives in a town home, but she thinks she would have been if he lived in a dorm or an apartment. She first pegged him for a penthouse kind of guy, but townhome works just as well. There s greenery she can t really see and parking space and even a porch. Rey gets a little lost calculating how much rent would be in this area, but the thought is gone the moment Ben shifts and sits up.He winces at his own reflection and then he looks back to her. He s a mess with sleep in his eyes and that makes him looks softer and more vulnerable than she s ever seen him. Then a theres something just so damnendearingabout the hoarseness of his voice that she smiles. You re home, er well, you will be once you re inside. His seatbelt unclips and spurs her into action, giving her precious seconds to get out of her own seat and meet him on the other side. She s standing there when it opens, his keys in one hand and her other offered out to help him up. He may not want or need it, but she still hovers as though he won t make it to his front door without her. Saying thank you is enough. The air is cold and instantly makes the tip of a Rey s nose pink. They are definitely in for an early winter this year, even if hasn t snowed yet.When they make it up to the door Rey hands over the keys and has a moment where she feels like an all American good ol boy from those classic Hollywood movies, the kind where the guy takes his date home and walks her up to the door and then awkwardly loiters in the doorway. It s just that neither her nor Ben really look the part.It feels out of character for her not to plan ahead, but up until the moment he mentions Uber Rey hadn t considered how she was going to get home even for second. I think I can walk. I usually walk back from the shop because its only a few miles and .. This is only a few miles more, honestly, so she could walk back.Rey looks out at the nice little neighborhood, realizes she has very little idea of where she is and that s it s cold enough her trusty jacket isn t going to do much, and that oh yeah, it s pretty freaking dark too. She rubs her chilled hand on the back of her neck, suddenly feeling very embarrassed. On second thought, I would very much appreciate that Uber, please. But I can wait out here instead of invading your privacy so you can get straight to bed. She grins, but the way it s equal parts sweet and apologetic wrinkles her little nose. Rey s had enough time around him to learn he s pretty paranoid. Surely he d feel better locking the door behind him and finally getting some rest instead having to wait around watching for her to leave.
Star Wars College AU (Solo & Sabre)
Ben blinks dumbly at her a few times, as though her words aren t registering and really, they aren t, but it s for more of a reason than his exhaustion. Would she really expect him to let her walk? Sure, he lives in a nice neighborhood, and he s pretty sure the only actual crime that s happened there is a result of children being so bored they run around vandalizing mailboxes or smoking weed, but that doesn t mean that he likes the idea of her walking by herself. The way she says it so casually, as though it s a fact of life makes him think she does it often, and that twists a knot in his stomach that he didn t even know was there. Thankfully, she dismisses the idea the stupid idea, he would have pointed out if she wouldn t have corrected herself immediately but it s replaced with one almost equally as ludicrous, so this time, he does react, an inelegant scoff huffing from his mouth as he shakes his head. Unlocking his door, he pushes it open and cocks his head towards the inside, raising an eyebrow as she pauses. First off, if you think I m just gonna come in here and pass out while you wait outside for an Uber that s going to take hold on, where are you going? around fifteen minutes, if my wait times are any estimate, you re crazier than I thought, he starts as he steps inside and nudges his shoes off with his toes, hitting the light switch before venturing from the entryway to the kitchen that s just inside. And secondly, if you think I m going right to sleep well, again, that whole crazier than I thought thing. He tries to keep his voice light, but fails sleep is all he wants to do, but Snoke wasn t pleased that he d turned up late earlier that day, and had assigned him extra work as punishment. Humming softly, he busied himself with starting his espresso machine, the smell of freshly ground espresso beans filling the air. I ve got work to do. I ll manage to get a few hours before I have to be back at it in the morning, he explains offhandedly, as though it were nothing as though every fiber of his being wasn t screaming at him to crawl into bed and let her see herself out. Coffee? Well, espresso? I ve got milk if you know how much it takes to make it a latte. Fraid I don t.

Ben s scoff leads Rey to frown and her brows draw to create a fine wrinkle between her eyes. She thinks it s not the first time he s scoffed at her like she s being absurd.The front door opening startles Rey rigid and when Ben gestures for her to follow him in she s not fast enough to hide the way her eyes widen or how the nerves wrapping around her throat makes her gulp. She doesn t have to step inside to know his home smells good or that everything in it is expensive and classy in that subtle way that having a lot of money can buy. It s clean too, clean and perfect while she s dirty and covered in oil andoh godhe ll never get the stains out.Rey thinks about being difficult or running in the opposite direction, but it s too shameful to squander his kindness. This is kindness for him, isn t it? You really think I m crazy? She checks that notion off as another concern to add to her list. She follows him inside to unlace her heavy steeled toed boots and leaves behind an extra two inches in height when she steps out of them. Knowing her fuzzy fox socks are much cleaner than her shoes makes her feel marginally better about walking on his pristine floor.Rey gives any furniture and walls a wide berth while she follows Ben into the kitchen. The mention of him doing more work makes her visibly bristle. You what work? You ve been working all day and you look like you re about to keel over! You need to rest. She crosses her arms over her chest to keep from grabbing the counter. It occurs to her that she can t make a good case for him to get more sleep by pouting, but the defeat in his voice, the heaviness of his limbs, those dark hollows under his eyes It upsets her in a way she s not willing to examine right now.She prioritizes things that need to get done over her health, especially her mental health. She s a hypocrite. He doesn t need to know that. Maybe he already knows.Rey works her jaw and chews her lip. She has no right to be upset or to make demands, even if she s in the right or or perhaps not, perhaps her pouting is unfair.Rey rolls her shoulders and leans back against the counter behind them in attempt to force herself to relax a little. I would like an espresso. Plain or however you usually make it, please? I don t really have a preference. Examining things in a new light could help, so that s just what Rey does. Her eyes roam down to his feet and stick there while she vaguely remembers a joke about men with big feet wearing big socks and wonders why it s funny. His socks look comfortable.The new light she s looking for shines down and opens up her eyes.She realizes that she s struggling with her approach because Ben s not her student right now, he s her friend. That certainly helps cultivate a more empathetic perspective. Sooo.. that work you have to do, would you benefit from having a temporary assistant? I have no idea what I d be getting into but I can stay and assist if it would help you finish sooner. The offer feels silly. It s unlikely that she can help, she knows, he probably needs someone trained in whatever he actually does. There s a chance she ll make a mess of things. Regardless, the thought is there.

Rey is in his house. Rey is in his house. Rey is in his house. No matter how many times his mind repeats it, it feels surreal. A few weeks ago, she d only been a girl forced to tutor him, someone he did his best not to provoke too much if only for his grade and someone who seemed to hate him on the best of days, and now, she s in his house. If the sleep wasn t already making him delirious, Ben thinks he might be forced into that state by that sheer fact alone. The protests she makes go in one ear and out the other, Ben offering only a roll of his eyes in return. It isn t like they aren t things he hasn t heard before from Hux, from his mother, from Chewie, from his father when he bothers to call but all their words ring untrue in the eyes of Snoke, and that s whose opinion really matters to Ben. What would be higher on his priorities than someone who s going to help him graduate with high honors and get him a job after school? It s an argument he s had many times over, and he doesn t have the patience to go through it again he d much rather spend their limited time together not arguing when he can and this is a change that s happened so subtly he hadn t even realized it until it makes him drop the spoonful of espresso beans and scatter them over his counter. As his hands brush them to the counter s edge and back into the machine, his face flushes. As the machine brews enough for two a heavier workload than it s used to, unless Ben has forgone so much sleep that he needs a double shot to keep himself moving, and he almost considers it Ben gathers two small glasses, moving the creamer and sugar jars from behind the machine out onto the counter. It doesn t take long for the beverage to brew, and soon enough he s pouring hers out and sliding it over to her with the fixings, setting his aside to cool. It s nothing you could help with, he says, but hurriedly shakes his head and huffs out a breath at his rudeness. I mean it s stuff I can barely get through, and I ve been doing it for years now, he corrects himself as he tests the beverage with the tip of his pinky. Still too hot. It wouldn t stop him if she wasn t there he d tossed them back, so desperate for caffeine that he s burned the roof of his mouth, but he figures she ll likely try and lecture him for that, too, so he practices a bit of restraint. It s nice enough to just have this, he says, a bit of forlornness heard in his tone, his emotions more visible and more vulnerable than he is with anyone else this is another realization that startles him, though thankfully, he keeps hold of the cup he s rising to his lips again. I don t, uh I don t have people over often, he explains, or at least tries to, again words aren t his strong suit, that s why he never majored in creative writing. I m just happy I had the cups clean to be able to offer you something to drink. It isn t a joke, per se but it s lighter than anything he s said all night, and he finds it a nice contrast. And no, he says after a few seconds of silence, his voice suddenly much quieter. To answer your question. I don t think you re crazy. But I am.

The clatter of espresso beans has Rey looking back up from the floor, to the counter, to Ben and then back to the counter again as he sweeps the spilled beans into his palm and back into the machine. His loss of dexterity affirms her prior decision to drive him home. It s nice not to doubt something.She s grateful when Ben slides over the piping hot liquid in a small glass along with the cream and sugar. When she d ask for him to make it as he usually did, it was under the assumption that he was going to mix it for her himself and well, asking for her actual preference felt a little embarrassing to say out loud.Sugar, sugar, more sugar, way too much creamer, and by the time she s done with her concoction it looks more like chocolate milk than any kind of coffee and her cup is twice as full. But she s happy with it.Rey uses both hands to bring the cup to her face and breath in the dissipating steam. The smell of espresso is such a small pleasure, but she enjoys it enough to hum about it. I understand, I thought that might be the case but my offer was already half way out. She s relaxing, just a little, and blowing on her cup as if the creamer hadn t already taken the temp down to a manageable level. It s when Ben mentions he doesn t get company that the she takes a sip of the warm drink and savors it as her eyes drift across the part of his home she can see without having to move her head. It s a bit sparse, neutral and clean and honestly now that she thinks about it his place looks more like he s renting a high end furnished apartment for the week rather than actually living there. She wonders if he enjoys himself here at all, or if it s just the place where he occasionally finishes work and passes out until getting back to his daily grind.Though she wants to ask uncomfortable questions she cracks a smile instead. Truly? And here I thought you were the type to don vintage dresses and throw dinner parties. Humor helps her ache. The warm espresso does too. Talking is harder when she doesn t have a goal or job to do, yet it s not nearly as difficult with him as with others. I m.. pretty happy you let me in and fortunately did have a clean cup. You, Ben Organa Solo, are the hostess with the mostess after all. I m kind of crummy guest though, didn t even bring a gift. spose next time I ll bring flowers or something. She looks down in her cup, drowning her chuckle and the other stupid things she could say. And no, To answer your question. I don t think you re crazy. She looks up to him and stares, right in his dark eyes, and the quiet stretches. Her heart pounds in her chest and the blood thunders in her ears. Suddenly her face is hot but not from steam. She almost wishes he had said he thought she was, at least that she can laugh off. Oh, she gulps, feeling flustered. O k good.. um and she brushes some of her loose strands of hair behind her ear. Thank you for being kind to me, and making me espresso, and getting me an Uber which is probably going to be here any minute but it s been really nice just being and.. talking. Time feels like it s slipping away despite her desire to sit and sip and stare at him. Why does it take awkwardly standing around in his house for all the buried emotional alarm bells to start ringing off their hooks and make her look like a weirdo?

It isn't really coffee by the time she's finished with it, but he figures it does suit her. There was no way a girl that acted like that was going to take her coffee black like he does, and while he likely would make a snarky remark, he's too tired to come up with anything witty. He's probably already embarrassed himself enough today, acting so far from his ordinary, that he figures keeping his mouth shut when he'd usually open it is just adding to the idiosyncrasies. At this point, does she even know who he is? Does he? Every day he spends with her, he feels like he knows less and less. And then she jokes back at him, and the shreds of understandable conversation he'd managed to have so far were gone. If anyone asks him, he'll deny it to his last breath. If anyone asks him, he'll make up excuses of being tired or being out of it from his car breaking down earlier or the emotional toll it takes to sit through one of Snoke's lectures, especially when the man is mad. Whatever he says, he knows he won't admit the fluttering in his chest that he can't say is solely from the caffeine beginning to give him one last burst of energy for the night, but that's okay it's not like anyone will ask anyway. The only people he talks to are Snoke, who wouldn't care less if Ben paid him to listen to his problems, and Rey, who he couldn't exactly confront with budding feelings of something. He doesn't know what it is or even how to try and conceptualize it, and he thinks that scares him more than the actual feelings do. Too soon, the notification flashes on his phone Rey's Uber has arrived. "Hey, looks like your ride's here," he says, all her previous words ignored verbally, but they've truly sunken in, and he thinks he'll hear her compliments long after he closes his eyes later that night. "I already have a pretty shitty rating on Uber, so we probably shouldn't keep them waiting," he suggests, though he'll take another hundred one star ratings if it means she'll stay settled in his kitchen like she belongs there. Rationally, he knows she doesn't, and he knows she doesn't want to, but he can't stop his delirious brain from imagining her with one of her sugary coffee abominations sitting at the little breakfast nook as he cooks breakfast for the first time in forever. Guiding her towards the front door, he pauses as he opens it, regarding her with a softness that most would assume him not possible of summoning. "Thanks, a lot, for everything today," he murmurs, his voice barely above an audible volume. "I mean it. I owe you big time."

The Uber has arrived. Rey smiles but her disappointment still shines through. She s not good at hiding all her feeling after all. Alright, alright, I ll try to be quick. She swallows the rest of her caffeine in a single gulp before he guides her back to the entryway where her boots lay haphazardly in front of the door.Rey s not as quick putting her boots on as she was to taking them off. The old oily things are a little too big and the heavy leather is softened by years of abuse. The gets the right on easily but Rey instinctively grabs Ben s arm for stability as donning the left boot throws her balance off kilter. Whoops her nose scrunches up when she looks up at him andgiggles, embarrassed. I usually do this sitting down. The door opens, her driver patiently awaits, but she s a little caught by the brown eyes looking down at her with an expression she s sure she hasn t seen before. Um you re welcome, and your thanks is enough. Her nervous swallow is audible. She feels she need to do something but a handshake feels too formal and a hug far too familiar. She puts her hand on his shoulder instead. Thank you for having me. Goodnight Ben, please get some quality sleep. Then she s gone, into the night, into the car, giving Ben a little wave if he sticks around to see the car leave. Where she s from Thanksgiving isn t something that peopledo so Rey isn t quite sure what all the hubbubs about because all the turkey she s eaten in her life has been miserably dry and rather tasteless. It seems stupid to have a day dedicated to it. Nevertheless, she did appreciate having the week off on a nearly empty campus. It gave her time catch up on a bit of everything.Now everything s back in gear and she s feeling... a little nervous actually. There are only two weeks of regular classes left before finals and holiday break. That means two weeks of tutoring and a few odd days of cramming and then not only does she find out her own grades but she ll hopefully find out how Ben did in calculus and that s almost worse because what if she s a total failure of a tutor?The cookie tin is open. Her feet tap against the chair they rest in and Rey is sitting on the table with a cookie in each hand. It s not a good look, but stress eating seldom is.When Ben finally arrives Rey shoves what remains of each cookie in her mouth, painfully swallows, and takes big breath of air before asking the very standard conversation starter he s probably already heard a dozen times that day. So, how was your holiday?

The car pulls away from the curb, and Ben shuts the door behind her. The townhouse now empty, he sits at his desk and spreads the files he's been assigned out in front of him. Artificial light from the opened laptop illuminates the room, and he tries to delve into his work, but after he's read the same line four times he realizes that he can only focus on the way his forearm tingles where she'd grabbed him. The espresso should have woken him up, but the scent is tinted with cream and sugar and it reminds him of her, which serves to soothe him, not energize him. Before he knows it, he's barely able to keep his eyes open, and he only manages to shuck the pants and top he'd worn that day onto the floor before he half covers himself with the duvet and falls soundly asleep. In the morning, his alarm rouses him, bleary eyed and heavy limbed, and as he checks his phone before he leaves he finds he's six minutes behind his normal routine he should be scrambling, but he's moving lazily about, even popping a bagel into the toaster for a few seconds before ambling out the door and he should be scrambling, gunning his engine to whip his car out of his driveway and towards the office, but instead, his mind drifts towards Rey. He hopes she has a good day. It's a foreign feeling he hasn't even hoped he has a good day in quite some time. Snoke is, predictably, furious when he doesn't show up ten minutes early like he's supposed to a point that has never made sense to Ben, but then again, most of the old man's methods don't, he just knows to follow but even then, Ben suppresses a smile as a very Rey like comeback flits through his mind. Thankfully, he still has the sense about him to bite his tongue and delve into the work he'd neglected the evening before. Gatherings of the Organa Solo Skywalker rarely go well, and Thanksgiving is no exception. He tries, at least, which is more than his petulant side can say for his parents, for when he shows up on Thursday morning after fighting for that day and the next off just to make sure his mother is happy, the first thing he's met with is a snide remark about his choice of advisor. It doesn't improve from there, with Ben going from staying silent to attempt to keep the peace to snapping at his father that if he didn't want him to go into poli sci or English lit maybe he should have been around more to influence his son's decision to getting into a full on screaming match and swiping the rest of the red wine to spend the rest of Thanksgiving holed up in his childhood bedroom. Swilling the liquid around in the bottom of the bottle, his lips wrap around it soon after, draining the last of the alcohol, as his other hand brings his phone up for squinted eyes to peer at. Vaguely, he can make out Rey's contact info, but he stops himself from sending any message. She wouldn't want to hear from him, anyway probably busy happily celebrating, like she was meant to be, while he drowns his sorrows alone, like he was meant to be. It's almost a relief to get back into the routine that is school and Snoke and Rey. While he wouldn't consider the former two pleasant, they were at least a reprieve from the ever present reminder that his family thought him a disappointment. The latter, however, was a bright spot in his week, the quick meeting between the two often the only thing he found himself looking forward to as the days advanced. The familiar tin of sweets is open when he arrives, and the aroma of something mouth watering drives his hand into the tin without question. Humming as he bites into it, he nods with satisfaction, tip of his tongue darting out to clear his bottom lip of crumbs before he chews, swallows, and speaks. Well, it isn't a response at first, more of a dismissive grunt, but he figures after she took care of him what feels like forever ago, he could at least form words back to her. "If I lie and say good, will you believe me so I don't have to talk about it?" he shoots back wanly, a slight grimace on his face.

The cookies are usually on the smaller side and a little misshapen, but there always pretty good and perfectly cooked now that Rey has figured out the perfect touch on the old toaster oven in the dormitory lounge. The first time she brought them they were an offering to smooth things over but now they are something else, some language of food that other people don t quite get. Watching Ben eat something she s made makes fizzy bubbles of affection burst in her chest. She s staring at his lips.The professional in her kicks her butt off the table to refocus her thoughts, and Rey pats the wrinkles from hunching over out of her shirt like she always does. By the time Ben responds the textbook on the table is open and Rey is seated again. She smirks at him and arches an eyebrow. He may as well have asked her something impossible. How can I believe you if you ve just told me you re lying? Then she purses her lips and looks back to the text book, knowing sheshouldn tbe nosy and tamps down on her questions. But you don t want to talk about it. She says that like a finality, like she s going to let it go. She tries. We re finally down to the last three chapters now. They ll be on the final and a great foundation for Calculus two. And she s flipping through pages, going through notes which have somehow gotten impossibly longer since the last time he had seen her tutoring binder.Rey s image of Ben s holiday flashes from one possible scenario to the next and she doesn t exactly suppress the expressions that rapidly change with them. Wealthy, well known family that he belongs to he probably had his holiday on a yacht with the feast catered by fancy restaurant.Rey taps her pen, her eye twitches a little. That doesn t feel right.Maybe his folks are the type to want a traditional sit down with with the family, and his mother wears an apron and spatchcocks her own turkey?Rey shakes her leg, practically vibrating in her seat. Normally she s more controlled, professional, maybe even a little stiff sometimes when she tries real hard, but the more comfortable she gets around Ben the harder it is to subdue her rabid curiosity. Not asking is impossible because she feels like she might explode otherwise.Rey leans in a little and her voice lowers to a whisper, as if asking him about it doesn t count if she s secretive about it. Why was it bad? She doesn t give him proper time to answer, her hazel eyes going round as she word vomits multiple scenarios that she s already dreamed up. Did your weird uncle show up with an escort and it made everyone uncomfortable? Or maybe she was a stripper that misread the situation and got on the table? Did your estranged sister crash the party? Or did someone burn the turkey or her hand flies over her mouth as she gasps, scandalized. or did your parents make you wear one of those awful pilgrim hats? It all sounds silly yet Rey speaks with total seriousness, thoroughly exposing that her knowledge of thanksgiving is gathered entirely from ads and kitschy holiday movies. When s she done spilling she gives him an eager look but leans back a little, giving Ben space to fill with the real story of his vacation.

Ben should know better than to think that would be the end of it. When she redirects the conversation to something he's more comfortable with and he never thought he would describe calculus as a more comfortable anything, but it's definitely preferred to discussing his trainwreck of a family he actually makes an effort to grasp the material. He'd been at least somewhat trying since the beginning of their tutoring, but as he's grown to know her, he's found himself trying a lot harder, as though becoming good with the material will somehow mean he's become good with her. It's a strange language, a strange way to try to impress her, but even if he doesn't really care what grade he gets in the class as long as he passes, it seems like she does, and that's enough to spur him on. They fall into their comfortable brand of silence, one Ben's grown to love it isn't the oppressive silence between him and his mentor, with Ben scrambling to try and figure out what he's done wrong, or the tense silence that hangs over family gatherings, like it was just waiting for someone to say something so it can explode into a cacophony of voices. It's nice, and it's comfortable, and of course, that meant it couldn't last. She breaks the silence, recounting her ridiculous ideas of what they'd done over break. The thought of any of those things happening in the Solo household was silly, though he supposed he couldn't rule out the possibility of an estranged sibling showing up. It wasn't like they had ever paid much attention to the child they did have, and with Han gone more than he was home, it wouldn't be the craziest thing in the world to find out he'd drunkenly fathered another kid he didn't take care of. "Well, at least it wasn't that bad," he mumbles. The examples she'd given made the real events look tamer in comparison, and he is almost embarrassed that he doesn't have as eventful a story to tell her as the ones she'd dreamed up. "Just a lot of fighting. Let's just say my parents don't exactly approve of my choices in education and in my future." It's a simplified, almost political answer, and one that he doubts will satisfy her curiosity, so he sighs and shuts his book loudly, leaning back in the chair with his arms folded across his chest. "I know you what was it you said? don't pay attention to gossip or whatever, but there's no way you go here and don't know the name Organa. There's a whole wing named after her, and there's a reason for it: she funded it herself. My uncle? Luke Skywalker, yeah, that one. And my dad? Well, your guess is as good as mine who Han Solo is. Not like I've seen him enough to form an opinion." Bitterness laced his tone, the venom evident with every word. "And I'm the black sheep, the family disappointment for wanting to make a name on my own rather than rely on fucking hand outs."

It wasn t that bad. Ben says, and Rey can t help but frown at him and want to mock him a little, but she figures that s not exactly going to get her feeling across. But It was still bad. The weight of Rey s head fall in her palm as she lends Ben a sympathetic ear, and what she hears doesn t exactly shock her but it is confusing. Her brows wrinkle and she shakes her head. Why? You re doing great at school, even in calculus! And she could go on, especially about his job? internship? Last she heard through the grapevine he had a great one lined up but she isn t familiar with it other than him being worked to the bone.The wrinkle on Rey s brow deepens with every word Ben elaborates on the situation. Its true that she knew of the name Organa, that it meant money to a lot of people, but she hardly understood the weight of it until she met Ben and did a little research. Still, it didn t mean nearly as much to her as it seemed to most others. Possibly because she s a foreigner and pretty detached overall from American politics. Of course I ve heard the name Organa, since I use those buildings all the time. I didn t really care or pay attention to how often I heard the name or not until I met you, then I well I did start to actively hear it a little more, enough to know your moms a politician and it s a big deal to a lot of people. I have no idea who Luke Skywalker and Han Solo are but I m guessing it s a similar big deal situation, right? Rey leans back into her chair, contemplating as she rubs her thumb in circles just above her knee. From where she s sitting it sounds like a mess and she says so. Sounds like a mess to me. It s unfair that they expect you to shoulder the burden of carrying a legacy you didn t ask for. Thats the real price of ever accepting those handouts, isn t it? There s also the inkling that maybe his family is just trying to help him, even if they are misguided and expect too much, but she can t say that for certain without meeting them and thats unlikely to happen. The more she thinks about his family invalidating his feelings, and them fighting over him making choices different then their own, the more strongly she feels about it. It makes her angrier than she expected. I don t understand how they can dislike your career and education choices so much that they want to fight about it? That s atrocious, you re doing great for yourself. Anyone can see that you study and do your job relentlessly and work yourself to exhaustion to secure your future. They should be proud. Her arms fold, her fingers twitch like they re being pricked with agitation. It worse that it was like that over the holiday, when families around suppose to come together and y know, be happy and stuff. Were they needling you all week? Surely that wasn t the norm? It went unsaid, but Rey started to wonder if the fighting and disapproval was recent or if Ben s family life was always like that. What if it was worse the longer the family spent time together? Like the nearly three week Christmas vacation? That scenario made her worry just to think it.

It's been years since he's discussed his family with anyone, really. No one really seems to care whenever he brings it up, and quite a few even mocked him for thinking his problems were anything in the grand scheme of things. While he could realize that others surely have it more difficult, that didn't make his issues with his family any less real, at least in his eyes. Rey is the first person who's taken him seriously in longer than he can remember, and he finds himself floundering at how to take it. She's this polite to everyone, he thinks, convincing himself that it's no different from how she'd treat any of her friends, but even that thought shines a spotlight on the fact that he considers them friends. That brings up two more points for him to overanalyze: one, does she feel the same way, and two, how significant is it that he's this willing to call her a friend? He's known people for years and years that he wouldn't think twice about denying that about them, but this girl who's tutored him for a few months is suddenly in such high regard, and it's jarring. "A similar big deal situation. You could say that," Ben scoffs and rolls his eyes at the mention of his other family. "Luke Skywalker, savant extraordinaire and author of any number of papers on philosophy of the atmosphere or whatever the hell hippy dippy bullshit he's spouting off about now. Han Solo, who holds more NHRA records than any other drag racer since cars were invented. Leia Organa well, I don't have to go there. She practically paid for the whole fucking school. If she didn't, her parents did." Bitterness laces through his tone as he speaks, increasingly getting more heated until he has a fistful of his hoodie's fabric wrapped in his hand, the only thing protecting his nails from digging into his palm. "They don't give a damn about me. They care about the status that I could bring them, or how it'll look when I work for someone who directly opposes my mother's campaign, or how much of a shame it'll be when their only child isn't around to do photo ops anymore and make them look better in the media. If they think they're gonna hear a word from me after my degree's in my hands, they're delusional." It sounds selfish, and he knows it, but how can he want to go back to people that do nothing but make him feel bad about himself? Sure, Snoke does the same, but at least he does it because he wants Ben to succeed... Right? "That's an understatement," he answers and rolls his eyes again. "At least we made it through the first course of the meal this time. It's a record for us," he mocks derisively. "I finished up my mashed potatoes and took a bottle of liquor up to my room. Didn't come out the rest of the weekend until I drove home with a hangover. Wouldn't recommend that, by the way. I think I still have a headache." He purposefully ceases to mention that he'd almost broken down and called her truthfully, he doesn't know if that's a real memory or if his drunken mind had made it up, and even if it is real, it's the last thing he wants to get into.

By the time his mother had finally managed to rouse him from the black comforter that had engulfed his lanky body, he d had to brush his teeth, pull on dark ripped jeans, a black t shirt, and an old, beat up leather jacket, and run downstairs to climb into the car with his angry father, who had pulled away from the curb outside of the stately house before Ben had even shut the passenger door. The short drive to the school is silent, despite Han s half hearted attempts at trying to make small talk, regaling Ben at how he d gotten quite a few detentions in his day. The only response from his moody teenage son is a few grunts and, since he's feeling particularly generous for the ride today, a dry chuckle that seems more of a mocking than a genuine response. The black haired boy slams the rusty door of what his father calls The Falcon just an old, beat up car that doesn't seem like it's even street legal earning him a yell from the driver s side. Ben rolls his eyes, continuing towards the school. Guess you ll be missing the party tonight, huh? What. A. Shaaaame. By the way, see you in detention. I know it will just make your morning knowing you have hanging out with me to look forward to. Kicking at a rock in the parking lot, Ben lets out an angry growl, loud enough to be heard nearby but not enough to cause alarm. His mother had grounded him when he d come home from school the previous day and slapped the detention slip on the table to be signed. She d badgered him repeatedly for why he d gotten detention, why he couldn t just be good for another few months and graduate, but he d kept a tight lipped stony face, refusing to say a word. If they thought that badly of him, that he d done something so horrible, well, he wasn t going to tell them, no matter how the party was shaping up to be. Ben knows what everyone at school thought of him, he isn't stupid, and he's even worked to build part of that reputation for himself. All throughout grade school, he d been bullied by people bigger than him because he kept to himself, so when he d been going into high school, he d taken advantage of his father s old, unused home gym to bulk himself up, going into his freshman year almost unrecognizable. Standing at six feet three by his senior year, he's gained a reputation as being scary and not someone to mess with , only supported by his occasional outbursts of anger. This time, it had been someone deserving on the receiving end, a bully from the football team who was pushing around a freshman that Ben recognized from his extracurricular jazz band class. The fact that it was Poe Dameron, golden boy extraordinaire and apple of his mother's eye, was irrelevant. They d exchanged a few angry words when Ben had pushed his way in between the two, Poe had swung, and within seconds, Ben had him on the ground with fist after fist connecting with his face. Two teachers had to pull him off, and he d spat the blood from the one good swing Poe had gotten back on his face before being towed away to the office. Han and Leia had managed not to get any charges pressed, but he d be serving Saturday detention until school ended. Fine by him. Not like he really has anything to do Saturday mornings anyway. He practically swaggers towards the school, climbing the stairs to the entrance and only stopping when he sees a girl standing nearby. Furrowing his eyebrows, he studies her for a second as he pulls the door open. You here for detention? Might want to hurry, you know Mr. C doesn t like it when we re late, he manages out, his tone casual, as he enters the school, letting the door fall shut behind him as he makes his way to the library and takes a table in the back.

It s Saturday and she has better things to do. Rey s angry at herself and that stupid red headed nark, and in her head she s yelling and beating the crap out of him the way he deserves. Outwardly, she s practically cool as a cucumber, the rhythmic tapping of her foot as she leans against top of the metal stair tail the only visible sign of her bad mood.She types away on her cell, it s one of those older slide out keyboard types from a decade ago but it works just fine. Half her life is in that thing, all of her plans, all of her budgets and estimates too and now she has to adjust half of them. Saturday use to be the best day for earning money, but now the next six are almost a total waste.Her grade changing business is going to need a whole reformatting too, especially now that the teachers are aware. Thanks to that asshole Hux she s going to be literally thousands behind the savings the originally predicated. Nothing pisses her off more than fucking with her income.Her hearing is lost to concentration, so much so that she never hears the heavy footsteps coming up the stairs behind her. Big Ben what s his name practically startles Rey out of her boots and in the moment of fight or flight she takes a ridiculous defensive kung fu pose and brandishes her bricky phone like a weapon. What?! She looks like an idiot, she knows, like an idiot door mouse trying to fight a bear that just happened to walk by. It takes her brain a second to catch up with her fear and recognize that he spoke actual words and not some sort of death threat. Oh. She composes herself, adjusting the glasses that might be a little too big for her face and smoothes the wrinkles out of the navy polo that is definitely too big for her small frame. Of course. Thanks for the reminder. He s already turned his back to her and walked inside, and Rey waits a few seconds, careful to keep her distance. She hasn t been at the high school very long but anybody that s been there longer than a day knows Ben s reputation for violence and flying off the handle. She d been there for the very beginning of the fight with goldenboy Dameron, and though she hadn t seen the end because she escapes crowds as quickly as possible she had heard the guy was gonna need a whole new face after what Ben had done to him.There are more people in detention than Rey expected, from the corner of her eye she can see that first table being taken up by Hux, who is obviously sneering at her and starts to look even more red and pinched than usual when she doesn t acknowledge him. Than theres Finn, who she gives a little wave. Miss popular Rose Tico is right behind him, but she doesn t look up from whatever she s writing in her journal. Poe Dameron is seated at the next table, and he doesn t look that much worse for wear despite the bruise and bandage wrapped around his head.There s two tables in the back, one of which Ben claims. Rey stares down at the seat at the adjacent table. Would it be weird if she sat on the ground in the front of the library instead? Would that make it too obvious she s afraid to sit within ten feet of Ben? Where the heck is Mr. C anyway?She gulps and takes the seat while watching Ben out of the corner of her eye. Could anyone blame her if she took off right now? He is pretty frightening after all, even looks the part, and she s so wary once her nerves get the best of her that she startsvery blatantly staring at him before she can stop herself.
Don't You Forget About Me (Redacted x Sabre)
It's a full house in detention, and that only means that Ben feels more uncomfortable than he thought possible. He'd prepared for a quiet day, perhaps allowing him to drift off in a nap if the teacher does his normal move of leaving them alone and unattended in favor of locking himself in his office to attempt to enjoy his own Saturday stuck in the school, but if the annoying tapping of Hux's pencil or the death glares Poe Dameron shoots him from behind the bandages or the clear social connection between the girl and the dark skinned boy is any indication, he's in for anything but. A permanent scowl is fixed on his face as the room fills with the final addition, the girl he'd nearly run over on the steps, and since no one else has decided to take the other seat next to him like he can blame them he brings his feet up to rest on the chair, loudly, his boots thunking loudly against the sturdy wood in the quiet room. "What, you can't even keep quiet now?" Poe hisses, turning to face Ben with dark eyes narrowed. Ben only laughs, leaning back in his chair and crossing his arms over his chest. "You want round two, Dameron? Seems I didn't do enough to have them wire your jaw shut. What a shame. But there's still time." Huffing, Poe moves to stand up, but is immediately stopped by the student in front of him. "C'mon, man, you know he's not worth it," Finn soothes Poe, reaching back to pull on his letterman jacket's sleeve, not stopping until his friend has turned back towards the front of the room. "Lucky you had your boyfriend to save you," Ben taunts, flexing the fingers that grip his bicep. "Wouldn't want to end up back in the hospital, would you?" Poe seethes, but remains silent, focusing only on Finn to keep himself from turning around. They're saved from further bickering at least for the moment when the thin frame of Mr. C sweeps into the library, door clanging shut behind him. "Alright, alright, settle down. You kids know the rules. Keep it quiet, stay in your seats, and don't cause any trouble, alright? I've got episodes of Pawn Stars to catch up on and I don't want to leave my office. You make me get up and you lose your lunch break." With that, the authority is gone as soon as he arrives, and Ben chuckles before standing up and circling his table, walking by Poe's and, with a nudge of the table, immediately being met with the shorter man in his face. "What is your problem, Solo?" Poe sneers, squaring his shoulders and standing to his full height, which is still several inches less than Ben's. "Had enough of disappointing your parents, gotta move to the teachers now to get your attention fix?" Ben takes a few deep breaths, his hands curling into fists as he towers over Poe, taking one step closer so the two are only inches apart. "You want to shut your mouth and sit down, and you want to do it now," Ben growls, holding his hands at his sides to keep himself from hitting him. It's only going to last so long before he's in another fight, and he knows his mother won't bail him out again, but he doesn't care. What does it matter anyway? He knows he's going to graduate, and even if he doesn't, there's no shortage of bullshit prep schools his parents can send him to until they buy him a degree. They'll do it, if only to save face in the public how would they be able to deal with their only son not graduating high school? It's unheard of, and Ben knows that no matter what he does, Leia won't stand for the social outrage.
Twins of Aqua and Magma (East, x Star Siren)
Kyui Lavaridge town, 2200 hoursMagma owned this town, it was a vacation spot for many couples, and love birds, a natural wonder thanks to the healing effect of the hot springs caused by the vulcanic activity which was a wonder of heated volcanic activity and naturally forming aquatic pools to create something truly relaxing and restful.Currently Kyui was sitting in those waters, it was late, the softer shades of night were out and at rest. The world was at peace, which was exactly the reason that Kyui had picked this time, most people had gone home by now and so it was a good chance for him to reflect on the passage of time.Today was his 19th birthday. He set a glass of whiskey to the side of him, and another that he was currently holding and taking a soft sip from it. He was resting because tomorrow was the battle, and he had the second glass for another.He didn't really remember how long ago it was that his family devided, he could kind of remember the faces of his younger sister, he supposed it wouldn't have been too different from his own. As he rested against the bamboo that seperated the male and female sections of the hot springs he knew this wasn't exactly a place where he could have a drink with her, but it didn't matter.Team Aqua had made sure that his family had broken apart, and stayed shattered. He had been raised mostly by Maxie after the death of his father at the hand of an aqua grunt who had taken the battle a little too far. His sister and mother had never come for him after that day, and instead of being raised by strangers in an orphanage team Magma had looked after their own.So the second glass was too his twin, Maxie had only ever said that Aqua had gotten to her just like his father, which meant he must have been the last surviving member of his family. She was a twin so had she grown up the same as him, she would have been the same age.He sighed and sipped on his glass feeling the burn, raising his glass to the empty spot."Don't even have a name for you, but that ones for you sis."Tomorrow he could focus on revenge, today though... today he just wanted to relax.

Twins of Aqua and Magma Lavaridge Town, 2200 hoursAkiraleaned her neck back against the cool stone above the soothing waters of the hot springs. She closed her amber eyes and breathed in the healing vapors. Her breath was visible, like smoke, when she exhaled.What a day.With all the build up for the upcoming fight, she'd barely had a chance to think. She was certain she only got away this evening because it was her birthday and everyone knew it was a touchy subject. Ankira still had vague memories of what her birthday had once been like. Flashes of color and smiles, figments of laughter, a happy family all together. But that was a long time ago.She had a brother, somewhere. And a father too. They could both burn in hell, assuming they weren't dead already. Where were they when her mom was injured in the battle? Why didn't her dad do his job and protect their family? Her mom had tried, so where was he? Instead, Akira watched as the best doctors that Archie could afford tried to save her, but the woman's fate was sealed. Her mom died just days after a vicious attack by Team Magma and her father and brother never bothered coming to find her. Archie had taken pity on the little girl and instead of pawning her off on some doorstep, he'd made sure to raise her within the organization.But today was her nineteenth birthday. The one day that she made herself remember just how much she missed her family. It had been hard, being alone and different. Sometimes she wished that Archie had given her away to an orphanage so she could have been adopted by a nice family. But then she wouldn't be the Akira she was today.She sighed. It was no use being angry, at least not right now. In battle she could use her fury, but in the hot springs on her birthday it just made her more depressed. She glanced at the teapot beside her. She hated tea but the pot had been her mothers. She always drank a glass on her birthday in remembrance. So, Akira sat upright and poured herself a small cup of tea."I miss you mom. I wish you were still here. I wi "Another voice drifted through the night. A man, close by, probably on the other side of the rickety divider wall. It was late, too late for most people to be in the hot springs. Akira had thought she was alone. Curious, she waded over to the divider and peeked through a large hole in the wood. He looked sad, but there were two glasses of something sitting next to him so he wasn't alone. But she didn't see anyone else.Akira watched him sigh and sip his drink while listening to him talk. He seemed as alone as she was. After several long minutes, she pushed away from the divider wall. She was tired of being alone on her birthday, tired of having no one to celebrate with. And this man was honestly attractive. So what if he was at a low point and she was just swooping in for some 'nice to meet you' booty? It was her birthday and she was entitled to something nice for once.Akira wrapped the towel snug around her F cup breasts and pulled herself out of the water. She tiptoed to the far end of the divider, where the wood met with a rocky outcropping and carefully climbed onto their slippery surfaces. A few well placed hands and feet later, Akira was climbing down the other side. She hopped to the ground on the men's side and stepped into the torchlight."Hi. I'm Akira. Sorry to pop over so suddenly, but I think we're the only two people here and I'm certain the owner already went to bed. I just thought it might be nice to share this beautiful evening with someone. I hope you don't mind."She sank into the water and closed the distance between them as she introduced herself. Even if he didn't want to talk, at least she would have company.

Considering that this was a gender split hot spring few but the most self conscious actually wore shorts. Kyui was most certainly not that. So he didn't exactly move to cover himself up when someone else entered the waters, even when that other turned out to be a woman. he blinked for a moment looking over her body. It was delightful to look at, her golden eyes reflected his own, and he found himself staring at her with a lot more interest than a passing glance.His body language was open to her, and the water helped to hide his waist. He raised his glass to her, and took a sip of his own, before offering her a drink not from the spare cup, that was for the dead and you didn't disturb that unless you wanted to be haunted by spirits. At least that was the way that Maxie had explained it."No by all means I'd love to have someone to sit with."He said happily for a change. It was late, but that didn't mean her intrusion was unwelcome."That glass is for the departed, this ones free to drink if you wanna pass it back and forth."He leaned back looking up at the sky watching the moon, and the stars laid out before him. The torches lit, and the stillness of the air all made the world seem more enjoyable. He was always a fan of the night over the day. "Beautiful indeed."He said gesturing to her. His eyes lingered on her breasts, it was hard not to take note of them, they were round, perfect, and wonderfully shaped. He could actually say that about much of the girl, immediately she was probably the most attractive woman he had ever seen. Looking at her lips he wanted them, both to kiss, and to do other more fun things with. The lustful thought of what she tasted like crossed his mind."Sort of brazen of you to cross the barrier either way, but I certainly prefer the company of another. Especially today... I lost people years ago, but it never gets old."He shook his head."Sorry these are thoughts i'd rather not be having, Akira's an odd name for an attractive young woman. Mine's not much better, My name is Kyui." He glanced at the half full bottle of whiskey, and swallowed for a moment. Maybe he had too much to drink to actually be reliable right now. Maybe he stop talking before the random attractive woman smacked him.

Akira took a seat beside the handsome young man. She knew there was a lustful look In her eye, and she didn't hide the way she looked his body over. But he didn't seem to mind.She inched closer as he offered his drink and gladly accepted."Sorry to hear about your friend. I know how that feels. I've lost people too. It doesn't hurt any less but it does get easier."She smiled at him and took a sip of the unknown liquid. And coughed as the whiskey burnt it's way down. Oooh it was definitely better than tea!" lt cough gt Oh! That has a kick to it! Wow that's good! lt cough gt "She took another sip before handing the glass back.The alcohol warned her from the inside out. Her eyes met his and she marveled at their intense color. They were like burning fires, and they reminded her of her own eyes. And If she wasn't mistaken, they were also filled with desire. The glass was passed again and she took another longer sip."Heh, I'm pretty sure my parents got me and my brother's name switched. Akira is usually a boys name, after all. I wish i could tell you more but.. i don't really remember him. He left with my dad when i was really little."She didn't know why, but it was really easy to talk to him about this. She handed the glass back."Sorry, I don't know why I said all that. I shouldn't be sharing a drink with you either.. i don't even know you, Kyui. But.. I'd like to."Akira couldn't deny the unusual and intense attraction she felt to this stranger. Maybe it was the whiskey, but her body temperature had risen significantly. As she spoke the last sentence, she let her towel fall into the water and swam up to him. With the tops of her breasts above the water and everything else hidden underneath, she moved between his legs. Her head was now only a few inches away from his."Stop me if you don't want this, but i feel like there's some kind of crazy connection between us."
Twins of Aqua and Magma (East, x Star Siren)
"it was a sister actually."He didn't go into the details, mostly because Akira's towel had fallen away rather intentionally, she looked at him, and he knew immediately that he did indeed want this. It was random, one of those once in a life time encounters, but damned if it wasn't one of the best birthday gifts he could have possibly recieved right now. The thought that she had a brother and a father that left her he immediately thought of his sister and the mother that vanished from his life, but honestly that conversation was over, here he was with another woman from a broken family, an understanding between them that the past was just that."a lady as good looking as you hops into the hotspring and randomly offers herself to me, yeah trust me I ain't stopping you, I'm only gonna ask that you don't pinch me, cause if I did pass out a little earlier than I really don't want to wake up from this."His hand reached out and gently cusped the side of her face, pulling her in, in one swift motion as he took her lips and felt his tongue slip inside. It was delightful to hold and touch another person, even for just a moment. His hand went down to her waist pulling her in closer to him, and also pulling her down a little lower, intending to bring her down onto her knees.She would feel his cock press against her breasts under the water, enjoying the full mast that he was already at, he eagerly slid his cock between her breasts, enjoying the size of them his hand gently caressing and touching her as the kiss broke."mm, where have you been all my life."best birthday ever!There was a lot of lust in his eyes a he looked her over, wanting and desire, but he also wanted to get to know this mystery woman a little more. Maybe it was more fun that he didn't know about her, but at the same time the allure of the relationship was that there was a connection here that he wanted to explore, and that was partly the reason he had picked her breasts first. They were warm and comfy, but also it let them talk."This isn't some set up is it? Where I'm gonna learn tomorrow that some of the guys had a gaff and hired you because they knew i'd be feeling down today?" He didn't want this to end either way, but as he looked into her eyes he smiled."Scratch that, the guys I know don't have the common sense for that kind of thing, do you live around this town?"

Akira closed her eyes as Kyui pulled her in for a kiss. Their lips met, her mouth parted and she felt his tongue slip in. It danced with her own and a small moan escaped her busy lips. Her own arms wrapped around the neck of his neck as he pulled her in closer. Her heart was beating fast now and her breath came in soft pants when he finally broke the kiss.Her breasts were fully submerged now and his erection was buried between them. She grinned as her hands untangled from his neck and dipped under the water to support her large mammaries. She pushed them together and began to move them up and down on his cock. His touch was thrilling and as his hands wandered under the water, exploring her breasts and toying with her nipples. He was a stranger, some random guy in the hot springs. But somehow it made this all the more intense!It was surprising to hear that his departed friend was actually his sibling. That was a similar story to her own. Already they had something in common. And she didn't mind talking while her breasts got him off."A sister? That really sucks. I'm sorry. But this isn't a dream. I heard you talking while i was over on my side and thought I'd come visit. I didn't want to be alone today anyway. And i could say the same about you. You're seriously hot. Where have you been hiding? Hahaha if i was a whore, do you really think your friends could afford me? Don't insult a lady while she's giving you a titjob. Honestly though, I wasn't paid and i don't know you or anyone in this town. I'm here for work and thought I'd take an evening too enjoy myself. I had no idea I'd be here doing this with someone as attractive as you. "She winked at him and pressed her lips against his once more."What about you? What brings you here? "As she spoke and her hands moved her massive breasts, her shapely ass bobbed on the waters surface. It was beautifully sun tanned, round and conspicuously naked. Like the rest of her
Twins of Aqua and Magma (East, x Star Siren)
Chances were that Akira was correct, he couldn't see a woman like this making anything less than top dollar if she was a whore. A stranger and a random woman he knew nothing about yes, but a whore most certianly not even as her large breasts wrapped around his cock he found himself moaning against her kisses, he was trapped and all too happy for it. Looking at her tanned ass as it popped up from the waters he reached over her body, taking a firm hold of her butt and spreading the cheeks as she continued to work him."Mmm, I live not far from this place. I come down this way every now and then. This place may be an exotic resort town, but there are certainly some advantages to actually living here."As he spoke his fingers brushed along her back, pulling her closer into him, forcing her breasts to press harder against his crotch enjoying the pressure, and the movement of her titfuck. He was pretty sure he could be content with just that, but it was hardly just fun for him."Raise your ass a little higher, bend down a little lower."He gave the order as he adjusted himself to lean over her, his goal becoming apparant when his fingers managed to grab hold of her pussy, and dig their way inside of her from the position he was sitting in. Shifting her slightly to the side so that he could reach better, his fingers explored her hole two at a time causing a splashing sound each time he stuck them inside of her or spread her legs apart."I can't let you be the only one having fun, and your hands were busy."He said with a cocky smile."I can't say I expected this today of all days, but I'm gonna take advantage of it while I can, and I hope you hold that against me."His grin, and just about everything about him screamed flirtatious."Hey Akira, how are you at holding your breath?"
Twins of Aqua and Magma (East, x Star Siren)
"Must be nice, living nearby to all this. Maybe I should come through here for work more often."Akira winked at Kyui as she worked him over. Her ass wiggled when his fingers found it and she let out a low grunt as he pumped two in and began to explore. She rocked her hips back into his hand and smiled up at him."Hold my breath? What sort of kinks are you into mister?"She laughed but flashed him a saucy grin."I'm game if you are."
Twins of Aqua and Magma (East, x Star Siren)
"well I always say I'm willing to give anything a try but the truth is the reason I need you to hold your breath is." As Kyui spoke his hand trailed through the womans dark hair brushing her head softly and patting her as he adjusted himself in the water his cock slipping from her breasts as he pushed her and manipulated her body."I don't really want to move at the moment."He gave her a moment to take in as much breath as he could before pushing her face under the heated water, holding his cock in one hand so that it would press against her lips, and force it's way inside her mouth. He probably should have worked out some kind of motion for her to come up for air, but he figured that once she started struggling, or maybe a little bit after that he would let her up for air.
Twins of Aqua and Magma (East, x Star Siren)
Akira flashed Kyui a lustful smile as his hands brushed through her hair. She leaned into his touch and shut her eyes briefly. God this felt good! Then it was suddenly clear what Kyui wanted. Akira licked her lips and took a deep breath before nodding. In seconds, her head was pushed under the water and Kyui's cock was forced inside her open mouth. Her lips closed around the tip and she allowed the force of his hand on her head to guide her mouth down his shaft. She felt the tip glide along the roof of her mouth until her lips met his hand. It was almost more than she could handle, but she bobbed on him back down to that point over and over again.It was by no means her first blowjob, but this time she was doing it underwater. Breath control was not something she'd practiced before and within a few strokes, Akira felt herself running low on oxygen. She lifted up to surface and take another breath when the back of her head met with firm resistance from Kyui's hand. The force of it surprised Akira and in a panic, she took his cock down her throat too far and gagged. The reflex forced the remaining air from her lungs and Akira began tapping frantically on Kyui's leg.They hadn't worked out a signal, but she hoped he understood this one.
Twins of Aqua and Magma (East, x Star Siren)
Kyui watched Akira go down seeming confident, he had expected her to last at least a minute, but she only did so for about twenty seconds and a few bobs, before he felt her head trying to leave his cock. He paused for a moment wondering if he should let her up, but when she started tapping his leg he rolled his eyes, and assisted her in lifting her head. "Thought you said that you could hold your breath."He continued to brush the woman's hair. He lifted himself up and sat down on the edge of the hot spring, his cock dripping from the hot water. "I'm not gonna get off like that, so maybe we can take this up here. Besides I kinda wanna watch you suck it." He chuckled slightly at the dirty words passing through his mouth. "Besides it can't be comfortable under the hot water.
Twins of Aqua and Magma (East, x Star Siren)
Akira coughed as she pulled her head up from the water. It took her a minute to catch her breath, but Kyui wasted no time hopping up on the ledge. When she felt ok enough, Akira responded to his teasing."Of course i can hold my breath, but you gotta warn a girl first, otherwise she tends to think you're gonna drown her. Besides, i just met you. I dunno your kinks." She pushed herself up to the ledge and brought her hand up to brush the side of his shaft. "Maybe you like waterboarding. I think there are much more fun ways to get wet though."To prove her point, Akira leaned in and filled her mouth with his cock. Her lips held onto shaft as her head began gliding on his dick. Each downward slide ended with a fraction more inside her mouth until she felt the reflex. Her head quivered but she didn't let go. Instead, she took a deep breath and shoved his cock past her tongue and into her throat. She gagged on him hard, but refused to let up. Her throat muscles contracted against the head while her mouth sucked hard on the shaft. She tried to swallow and her muscles contracted again, squeezing his cock like it was being milked.Akira counted in her head while she worked. At around 50 seconds, she felt the need for air. At 56 she exhaled what was left in her lungs. At 1:02 she pulled off his cock, coughing and sputtering. She glanced up at his face with an 'i told you so' grin, but didn't wait for a reaction.She drove right back down onto his cock, this time holding her mouth open and using her tongue to guide his rod am the way back. Her saliva quickly mixed with his precum and dribbled down her chin in glistening lines. After a few quick throat thrusts, she'd take him all the way in and gag on his dick and force her throat to massage it, then repeat the process. She just hoped he was good for more than one load.
Twins of Aqua and Magma (East, x Star Siren)
it took a lot of energy for Kyui not to immediately grab onto Akira's hair or wrap his legs around her neck with what she was doing. Was he impressed by her lack of need for air when sucking on his cock. oh gods yes, he was trying his best to stifle his moans but he was failing at it miserably at it as she was currently going to a length to please him that no woman has ever done before, not even the ones he had paid. He felt bad for the previous insinuation as this was probably going to be the best sex he had ever had, and he didn't even really know the womans name.He bit down his lower lip as he felt her push him to the back of her throat again and again, her lips and her throat milking him every time she gagged. He knew enough to know that had to hurt, and he was a little worried that she was going to make herself throw up but she was doing it regardless, and the skick combination of pre cum and salivia that was building up over his cock was making him slide easier and easier as she went deeper with each thrust.At this point he just tried to keep himself relaxed as she worked, his hands gripped the fencing above his head. Wrapping onto a wood bar so that he could cling to something. He didn't need to tell her what was going to happen, because his cock was already engorging against her mouth, the tip widening and becoming a darker shade as blood rushed to it. He was going to cum. He looked into her golden eyes his breath coming in shallow pants as he watched her do whatever she wanted with his cock when it started to twitch. His hot seed spilling out into her mouth to do with as she pleased, his own breaths coming in raggedly as his body tensed, and then finally relaxed completely when the minute had passed, and the last few drops of cum were sucked free from his cock."Wow." He spent a moment traversing cloud nine, before coming back down to earth, and quickly jumping to his feet back in the water. moving closer to the mystery woman who had just sucked him off. "That was the best head I have ever had, now." He gestured to where he had been sitting. "Get on the ledge, it's my turn to return the favor, I am very thirsty, and need to drink, that pussy." He attempted to punctuate what he was saying by slapping her ass, but it didn't work nearly so well with the water taking out all the force and him just ending up grabbing her rather tone and firm butt.
Twins of Aqua and Magma (East, x Star Siren)
Akira grinned and hopped up on the ledge. Her nude body was now on full display under the moonlight. The steam from the hot springs had started to make her dizzy, and the cool air on her skin felt amazing. It also made her erect nipples even harder. She made a show of parting her legs for Kyui as her teeth caught her lower lip. She leaned back, using her left hand to support her upper body and trailed her right hand to her exposed crotch. With her right hand, she reached for the whisky glass and polished off the remainder in one large gulp. Then her right hand spread her pussy lips apart for him.This was crazy! Sober, angry Akira would never ever do this! If it were any other day, in any other town, with any other man, there was no way in hell. But here she was. Displaying herself like a proper slut for a stranger. The thought brought a vibrant blush to her tanned cheeks. She wanted his fingers, his tongue, his cock, whatever he wanted to give her. She wanted to fuck away the bad memories and the pain associated with this goddamn day! She prayed he was good in bed, but even if the sex ended up being disappointing, at least she'd always have this once in a lifetime memory.Her golden eyes looked into his and she smiled wide. "I'm wet and ready, stud. Don't keep me waiting."
Twins of Aqua and Magma (East, x Star Siren)
Kyui hopped down from the seat he had taken when she had sucked him off, standing in the water, he felt a small chill as the heated water touched his more sensitive skin. His eyes followed Akira as she posed herself on the ledge taking the last drink of the offered whiskey and then completely spreading herself out for him. She put every one of her assets on display, and in a moment he was a touch intimidated. Her skin was flawless, she was beautiful, well rounded, her tits were huge. This was a weird birtday gift, but after seeing her there was absolutely no way he could turn it down. For him it wasn't just a way to wash down one of his more lonely days, it was a chance for something more important. A connection that he was silently hoping wouldn't vanish the next night, even though he barely knew her.His hands went to her thighs, gently brushing her legs, for a moment as he brought himself a touch closer to her, kissing her stomach, and leading himself down between her legs. His tongue lightly touching her spread folds. His fingers rubbing the wet smooth skin. She was right she was wet and ready, and he had no intention of keeping her waiting. His tongue lavished her lower folds, running over her skin, as his eyes looked up into her gold.A hand on her stomach pushed her back lightly, leading her down to the ground, as he crawled up from the water, his body dripping over her, as he used a hand to stroke himself making sure he was hard. He pressed the heated tip of his cock against her entrance, and leaning against her soft body, he started to take her. pressing his cock inside of her body, taking her pussy, as he grabbed her, and kissed her. His hands exploring her sides, longingly, enjoying every second of the intimate embrace.
Twins of Aqua and Magma (East, x Star Siren)
His mouth was hot on her body, but his tongue chilled her with every lick. She twitched as he caught her clit and toyed with it. A moan escaped, not soft and coy but loud and sudden. Her hand quickly covered her mouth. She berated herself for letting her voice go like that. All excitement aside, the hot spring was still a public establishment open to the night air. Anyone could be out there listening. A stranger might have The thought fell apart as it ran through her mind. A stranger, Like Kyui. The smoking hot guy with matching eyes that she was about to have sex with. Yep. It was far too late to be putting up appearances. With any luck, she wouldn't see him again after tonight so what did it matter if she wailed like a porn star? Besides, if it bothered him, he'd have to put his hand over her mouth...Akira grinned wide at the thought, then groaned as she felt the tip of his cock push past her willing lips. Oh fuck! She whimpered as he worked his way in. One thrust. Two. By the third she could feel her orgasm building. "Oh fuck! Fuck fuck fuck!" She mumbled. His hips hit hers and she didn't hold back. She bared her teeth as the orgasm shook her the first of many to come. When it subsided, she rocked her hips up towards him. He was hitting deep inside her now and she didn't even try to keep her passion contained."Ah! Oh fuck yes! Oh! Oh! OHH! G gods! Ffffuuuuuck! Kyui! Ahh! AHH!"
Twins of Aqua and Magma (East, x Star Siren)
"Oh fuck." Hearing how passionate that Akira got in an instant, Kyui was right on top of her. His hand reached out to take hers, holding her hand steadily passionately. His hips slapping and grinding on top of her, driving deep down into her, as he lifted himself up. "Oh fucking yes, you feel so warm and tight around my cock." He moaned loudly, the two of them in throws of passion he didn't really care that she was screaming or that he was also being loud, if they were found out at this point it wouldn't matter. All that mattered was this moment of intense bodily passion as his cock slammed deeper against her cervix, feeling her tight walls squeeze against him."Your so wet, and warm." He moaned for a moment as he gripped her, his mouth falling against her neck, biting her gently sucking on her soft skin so as to leave a tender mark a small reminder that he had been here that she would see in the morning. His eyes closed and she would hear his panting moaning breaths in her ear. Praising her with sweet remarks as he fucked her.Then he pulled out. His hand slapped her thigh. His cock still wet from being inside of her, dripping with anticipation as he pulled out of her. "Turn over, hands and knees." He said grabbing her waist, moving her to another position and then just as quickly as he had pulled out, he was back inside of her the stone somwhat uncomfortable compared to laying on her back, but as he fucked her raw doggy style he had to admit that his cock could reach much deeper in this position.He slapped her ass hard enough that there was a five finger mark on her rear. "Bark for me." He gave the command before he had ever really thought it through, but was still amused by the idea.
Twins of Aqua and Magma (East, x Star Siren)
He was so passionate! Akira properly moaned as Kyui nibbled on her neck. For a moment, her body convulsed and she suddenly felt a rush of liquid between her thighs. She was too enthralled to care about the squirting, and honestly she was so wrapped up in the sex that she didn't notice the slap he gave her. But she couldn't miss it when he pulled out.Akira whimpered and opened her eyes. He hadn't cum yet so why was he ? Then the instruction came and she moved herself as quickly as her quivering legs could take her. He had to help position her, but with some effort she was soon on all fours anticipating his cock. She wiggled her ass at him and pushed it back against his rock hard cock. Her butt cheeks grazed his dick. "Mmmm, put it in me."No sooner had she spoke then Kyui rammed his cock back into her pussy. She screamed and nearly fell forward from the force. He worked up a rhythm in no time, which made her massive breasts swing into the ground. Her nipples rubbed against the stonework as he pounded against her cervix. Her hands and knees were sore from the uneven ground but she didn't care. She didn't bother containing her voice and let it out with every thrust. When he asked her to bark, she didn't think twice."Bark! bark! Woof woof grrrrrr oof! Ahhh! Woof! Ohhhh Ruff Ruff! Ruff er! Yessssss!! Hold me down! Ah ah ahh!"
Twins of Aqua and Magma (East, x Star Siren)
Her loud barking was a sound to behold, her passionate sex, was amazing, watching her ass wiggle, as she thrust her hips back to him made him moan. Kyui Pushed his hips against hers, grinding his balls against her hard, thrusting deep and fast into her, fucking as a hand gripped her thigh, but then she told him to hold her down. He moved a hand to her head, grabbing a fist full of her hair he pressed her cheek down against the rough tiled floor.His body leaned over her and his thrusts increased in speed, the wetness dripping down his balls flicked sexual juices and water from the hot spring onto her body as her breasts and face both rubbed the floor. He held her down almost violently so, but made sure that he didn't actually hurt her as he applied pressure on to her. He pulled on her hair and moaned loudly. Half words escaping him, thoughts were difficult to formulate on this he had mounted the woman like a wild animal at this point, and was fucking her harder and harder."I'm gonna cum inside you." He wasn't joking, he was getting ready to cum, his cock was throbbing already. "And it's only the first time." Somehow he was calm about the whole ordeal, his balls were heated, he was warm. He felt her cunt grip him with each and every thrust she was warm and wet."Your gonna have my babies." He said it just to add to her struggle a little more. He didn't know this girl, he had just met her. "I'm going to cum inside you, get you pregnant, and I don't even know your name." He moaned softly, the half formed idea was delightful for some reason, he was going to ditch her in the wild, and leave her some struggling mother.Why the fuck did that turn him on even harder. "Beg me not too."
Twins of Aqua and Magma (East, x Star Siren)
"Oh fuck! Fuck! Fuck! FUCK!" Akira screamed as he rammed her pussy into the floor. Her first orgasm came quick and then she was flooded with wave after wave of orgasms with every few thrusts. Her thoughts muddled into nothing. She had been reduced to nothing more than a quivering sleeve for this stranger's cock, and it excited her.He said he was cumming. Gonna drop it inside her just like that. She'd have a stranger's load in her raw cunt. The thought of all that sperm flooding her pussy brought sent her spasming again. She was cumming thinking about a stranger cumming inside her! She didn't want to stop him..."No! No please! Please.. don't... Don't... stop!"
Twins of Aqua and Magma (East, x Star Siren)
Every single one of her orgasms caused him a wave of pleasure that was immense. His grip on her hips was tight, and her trembling pussy clung to his cock he had expected panic with her words, when he had told her to beg him not to cum inside her. He had completely expected her to panic, what she did instead shocked him. She started to beg him to cum inside her. He groaned in pleasure at that single moment. "Oh, fuck.""I'm gonna breed you!" He called out quickly, His own breath heavy for a moment. He gripped her, his balls slapped hard against her as he thrust himself deep inside of her. His cock swelled and twitched inside of her before unleashing a hot load of cum into her pussy. Each twitch filled her with hot living seed. His grip slowly dissipated as he came and twitched inside of her.The haze of lust left him after a moment, and he realized he had just came inside a complete stranger. He finished, and pulled out of her, his cock dripped with the mix of their fluids. He was unsure what to say as he was coming down from a high. He reached out and patted her belly. "Give me a healthy son." He said with a joking tone.
Twins of Aqua and Magma (East, x Star Siren)
Akira flopped onto the floor, trembling head to toe. She could barely speak. Every movement sent sparks through her body. "Mmm ahhh ohh! Ngh!" She squealed as he slipped out of her, cumming once more as the flood of sensations finally started to ebb. She was panting, tongue out, like a bitch in heat. In her stupor, she hummed herself a happy birthday.She rolled onto her side, her large breasts glistening with water and sweat. He touched her stomach and made a snarky comment. She laughed, her voice louder than she intended. She turned her lusty eyes towards this handsome stranger. "Whatever you want, lover." Her hands caught his. She caressed his fingers before entwining hers around his. "This is nice. Can we just finish out the day together? It is my birthday too after all."
Twins of Aqua and Magma (East, x Star Siren)
Kyui chuckled as she replied, and the two held hands for a moment he looked up at the evening sky, today had easily been the best birthday he ever had. Then for a moment something hit him. She had said that her brother had left with her father, today was their birthday, he had a sister who had left with his mother, there was something just outside his comprehension in the moment, and then boobs wet jiggly boobs to be exact. He smiled for a moment discarding the strange thoughts about a long dead half of his family in exchange for the beautiful naked woman in front of him."If you want you can come back to my place for the night." He smiled for a moment leaning back against the wall. "I will feed you, give you a warm bed, and we can go round two if your up for it."
Twins of Aqua and Magma (East, x Star Siren)
Akira grinned. The afterglow of dangerous sex with a stranger in the moonlight was intoxicating. She wanted more. Her grin widened as he spoke. Of course she wanted to go back to his place! Here she was with a smoking hot man she didn't know being offered even more hours of the most amazing sex she'd ever had. Obviously the only answer was yes. This man had awoken something deep within her, some primal need."That sounds awesome! Yes! On one condition. We fuck more than we sleep."While she spoke, her hand moved to gently tug on his cock.
The Legend of Korra: Whore of the Galaxy (StarSiren & Potter-kun)
Korra awoke well before the guard droids sounded the morning alarm. Laying in the dark on her filthy little cot, she hummed a familiar refrain to herself and sighed."Happy Birthday, Korra. You're 17 today.."She reached into a small gap between her thin mattress and the cot frame, and pulled out a flat, round baked good. Her fingers carefully dusted it as she brought it to her lips... and shoved the entire thing in her mouth at once!At first, the taste was exotically sweet, but the more she chewed, the more it became bitter until she was forced to spit it out onto the floor."Ugh! I thought those were a delicacy! Man! Way to go Korra, stealing a birthday treat that tastes like womp rat shit. Gross!" Perturbed, the young woman sat upright in bed. Her eyes roamed the room, taking in the details despite the dimness. She had grown accustomed to this life, this place, this room. It slept nearly 40 other women, all servants like herself, all with a debt to pay. While most of the women in the room had earned their place here through their own foolishness, there were a few who were innocent from such matters. Those blameless girls were all here because of a family member.For Korra, it was her parents. They had fallen on hard times and were faced with two options: sell Korra into indentured servitude to pay off their debts, or go to work in the labor camps. Knowing that they wouldn't last a week in the labor camps, and it would take close to 40 years to earn enough there to repay their debts, Korra's parents signed papers that sealed Korra's fate.Korra was taken away and her contract was sold at an auction to offworlders. This was done to limit her ability to escape and force her to become dependent on whomever her new masters would be. For months, she toiled on the slaver ship but her independent streak was strong. Every opportunity she had, she defied them. When she was finally taken from the ship and brought planetside, she thought at first that they would leave her on a barren dustworld. Instead, she found herself standing before an audience of Hutts. Her circumstances were made quite clear to her: either ask the Hutts to take over her contract or return to the ship with no guarantee of surviving the trip.Eager to be rid of the vile crew aboard the ship, Korra chose the Hutts. The room burst into uproarious laughter as she made her preference known, but she was soon taken away and fitted with a behavioral collar. Since she was both young and rebellious, she was given to the droid in charge of cleaning the household. She had been doing maidly duties ever since. They were never hard, but they did keep her busy from morning until night.But today was special. It was her 17th birthday and even if she couldn't enjoy a treat, she could still practice her magic a bit before the day truly began. Korra focused on the pile of mush on the floor by her cot. She was sitting with her feet on the floor, on either side of the discarded snack and her hands hovering over it. Her fingers wiggled as she concentrated. Slowly, little bubbles of water pulled free and rose into the air.Korra began moving her hands opposite one another. The right hand went up and roughly formed the top of a circle while the right hand went down and roughly formed the bottom. Then they switched positions. Each time her hands moved like this, the bubbles floated closer together until they finally coalesced into one large water sphere. Korra exhaled and smiled to herself once the ball was formed. She repositioned herself to lay on her back on the cot and began tossing the water ball from one hand to the other."You're gonna get caught, you know. They'll think you're a Jedi and they'll take you away and kill you."Korra froze the ball spinning above her right hand. Her eyes sought out the voice's source."Where are you?!""She's right. It happened to my sister. She got mad and pushed a guard away using her mind. It was the last time I saw her. They dragged her off to who knows where and probably killed her.""Would you both shut up! You're gonna alert the guard!"Korra barked at the two unknown women, louder than she had intended. All she wanted to do was have a treat and practice her fun water magic and these two chatty cathys were ruining it!"Suit yourself. I'm just trying to protect you, child.""Yes, best keep your unusual talents to yourself. Don't want to catch the Master's interest.""But even if he doesn't kill you, he'll definitely move you out of our ward. I've heard horror stories about the other wards in the household.. maid duty is the safest ward here.""The Master has unusual tastes. The last thing you want is for him to find you interesting. He might move you to his personal harem! ICK! I could never serve a creature like him.. in that way..""Shut up! SHUT UP! All of you shut up!!" Was everyone awake? Had they all been watching her this whole time? Oh gods, had the guard seen? The water ball continued to spin in Korra's right hand as she ran scenarios through her mind, but it was still possible that no one outside the room had seen "You There. What Are You Doing? Stop At Once!"The voice came from a droid near the door and Korra reacted. She flung the water ball at the machine in a fury of fear and anger, and watched it harmlessly splatter across the droid's body as the lights came on."Oh no. This is gonna be bad.."Korra slumped in her cot. She would be punished for this and something told her it would be something awful.

It didn't take long for news to spread of Korra's incident and within a matter of minutes, Jabba's personal guards had arrived. They were the pigged headed Gammoreans, towering green beasts that often held vibroaxes as tall as themselves. Rumor had it many of the guards could tear a human in two with their bare hands without breaking a sweat. They barged into the maid quarters, one of them snorting like a pig as they looked around. One pointed to Korra's cot and the other approached her, towering above her, looking down on her with cold, emotionless eyes."You, Korra....yes? Master will see you....fo...fo..follow us." the guard managed to snort out in broken Basic. Korra knew better than to resist, especially if Jabba himself wanted to see her. To defy the big boss himself often meant death by Rancor or death by Sarlacc...neither a particularly pleasant way to die it was told. Korra was led down the hall, whispers abound about what might happen to her. Many knew of her abilities...most expected her to be killed or tortured. As they moved down the hall, the whispers vanished and only the sounds of their footfalls remained. They walked for a few moments before they reached the end of the hallway."Master.....will see you...." One of the guards opened the door and held it open to her, expecting her to walk in. Inside she would find Jabba's private chambers. They were gilided and rich with silks, gold, silver and jewels to show his wealth. He was being attending to by some of his harem girls and servants when Korra walked in. His feline eyes locked onto her at once as he licked his lips, his tail slapping against his dias. His fat rolls glimmered with a mixture of his saliva from his fat tongue and his own slime. In front of him was a table, loaded with succulent food...plates filled to the brim of dishes from Korra's home planet. Their was a glass of wine with a pitcher full next to it. There was a chair for her to sit in and on the plate was a bag....filled with a decent amount of Spice...the most craved drug in the galaxy to humans it acted much like a mixture of cocaine to energize oneself, a relaxant to ease pain and a hint of an aphrodisiac. Korra didn't know all those details though...she just knew Spice went for a lot and felt really good when taken."Ah....Korra....please...take a seat....have some Spice, Wine and food...I hear it is your birthday....Happy Birthday to such a beautiful girl." He bellowed out in Basic. He spoke it fluently as it was the language of trade but rarely as it was hard for the Hutts to use it with their gutteral voices. For a Hutt to use Basic was normally considered in honor. He took a sip of wine from his own goblet before beckoning one of the slave girls to refill it as he waited for Korra to react.
The Legend of Korra: Whore of the Galaxy (StarSiren & Potter-kun)
Korra hated the Gammoreans almost as much as she hated Jabba. Both were slimy, smelly and cruel, but at least the pig men acted on orders. They wouldn't kill her unless her master told them to, but Jabba was a loose cannon. As a maid, she'd cleaned up plenty of 'servant accidents' already. Once there were 9 in one night! Korra remembered being called into his entertainment room to scrub the floor after the larger chunks of.. something.. had been discarded, only to watch as her Master strangled, blasted, poisoned or beat to death eight more servants. The worst part was being forced to clean the floors again each time, knowing that he intended to do it all over again in a matter of mere minutes.As those memories resurfaced, Korra shivered. Is that why she was being summoned? She couldn't remember a time when her Master had asked for her by name. She was a maid, nothing more, and she was often referred to as such. But to be requested by name to see Jabba himself? She was definitely in a whole heap of trouble.Korra's shoulders drooped and her head hung low as she entered her Master's private chamber. She tried her best to look like a picture perfect, obedient servant in hopes that just maybe she would be forgiven. She didn't raise her head upon crossing the threshold of the room, nor did she make any sound. She knew from the turns and hallways she'd been led down that she was now standing in her Master's private chambers. She could hear the jingle of his scantily clad harem and smell the delicacies of her homeland. But it wasn't until her Master adressed her that she dared to look up.All around, the room was decorated in opulent colors and a fragrant smoke lingered in the air. It swirled in eddies around the girls' movements as they oiled, rubbed and toweled their Master. There was indeed a feast laid out, and a seat prepared at the table for Korra. Cautiously, she lifted the bag and set it on the table before pulling up her chair. She had taken spice before, several times, but she didn't care for the drug. It addled her mind in a way that she hated, and she never quite remembered what happened while it was in her system. But this was a direct command from her Master and to been seen as unappreciative was just as bad as disobedient.Korra nodded and opened the bag. Her fingers sought out a small amount and she dosed herself under her Master's watchful eye. Next, at his request, she poured herself some wine and began to eat and drink the meal set before her. It tasted as authentic as she remembered, but anything was better than the flavorless gruel and meal packets that the servants ate.This whole situation was.. strange. But the most unusual thing about all of it was her Master's greeting. He had wished her a happy birthday. She had never heard of Jabba throwing anyone a birthday feast except for himself. What made her so special? The fact that he'd called her beautiful was glossed over in her mind. Jabba valued many things, and chief among them was beauty. To that end, he generally kept only the loveliest servants for himself. Since she hadn't been transferred, sold or killed, Korra guessed that her physical appearance was pleasing.After consuming half of her plate and downing her goblet of wine, Korra wiped her mouth and looked at her Master. She knew better than to look him in the eye, so she watched his tentacle like tail instead. It was twitching or pulsing in an unusual way, but the end of it disappeared behind one of his harem girls."..thank you Ma "The girl in front of the tentacle let out a whimper of pleasure and Korra's attention shifted.The harem slave looked young, like Korra. She was wearing an elaborate set of looped gold chains that fell in a series of droops from a bejeweled, golden collar. She had matching loops falling from bands on her arms, legs, hands and head. The body jewelry was beautiful, but it didn't cover the girl up in any way. Her modest beasts and large areola were proudly on display. Anyone in the room could see how hard her nipples were or the way she rocked her hips forward and back. It was almost as if "Aaahhhhh!! AAAAHHHHhhhhh!!!!"The young girl screamed and placed her hands on the ground in front of her. Her legs moved to a squatting position, so she was on all fours like a dog. Korra's jaw dropped. There in front of Jabba, for anyone to see, this young girl barely older than Korra herself was pistoning away on the slimy Hutt's tail. The effort on Jabba's part was minimal: a minor thrusting twisting motion. The girl, on the other hand, was slamming her innocent maidenhead into the tentacle tail with the ferocity of a rancor killing it's prey. With every self imposed ram, more of the tentacle entered the girl's puffy, swollen lips.It was a mesmerizing dance, with the chains swaying and the girl bouncing and Jabba twitching. Korra wanted to look away, to stop it, to do anything! But she couldn't. Her eyes were fixated on the disturbing scene until It ended. Suddenly the girl's panting filled the room. She wailed something incoherent as she forced the tentacle further inside than Korra had seen before, and convulsed on It. The girl's whole body shook and spasmed, and her voice hinged on the edge of audible hearing. Exhausted now, the girl collapsed onto the floor as some kind of liquid began to sputter out between Jabba's tentacle and her own stretched out pussy. Slowly, the tentacle slid out and pushed the girl 's hip until her ass was facing Korra's direction. Then he slid the tentacle under the girl's stomach and forced her to raise her stunningly round cheeks into the air. From this angle of ass up, shoulders down, Korra watched in horror as more of the slimy juices dribbled ouy of the girl's gaping hole. If cross species breeding was a thing, Korra was pretty sure this girl just got knocked up with a baby Hutt.As the girl slowly recovered, Korra was finally able to tear her eyes away. Her cheeks burned with shame for watching the whole thing unfold. And then the way Jabba had turned his slave there at the end, it was like he wanted her to see It all! Korra tried to keep her eyes focused on the exorbitant amounts of food on the table instead of the recuperating sex doll. She knew she needed to speak, to thank her Master for his kindness, but she was rattled by the fucking she'd just seen, so it took time to think of what to say...thanks.. I mean, thank you Master! It was kind of you to remember.."She dare not say any more, for fear that she'd give herself and her abilities away, or be forced to copulate like that slave girl had just done.
The Legend of Korra: Whore of the Galaxy (StarSiren & Potter-kun)
Jabba took great enjoyment from watching Korra reacting to the copulating that had just occurred in front of her. While the harem girl was beautiful to be sure, Jabba had seen her many times before. Korra however was relatively new...he had seen her as a maid a few times and thought she was pretty and maybe when she was older, there would be a place for her in the harem. The discovery of her abilities however, had accelerated that plan.Jabba's breath was somewhat ragged for a moment as he caught his breath. He downed a goblet of wine and quickly ordered another poured. Once that was done, his tail began to rub at the ravished harem girl's pussy. His tail flicked at her clitoris and the tip began to prod at her entrance once more. It was a clear signal to the girl that she was going for another round. Jabba just barely pushed his tail in and then let it sit. He was going to have her do all the work now as his attention focused back on Korra. Of course, the ass and cunt of the harem girl was still in full view for Korra to see as the second round of fucking began."Of course....truth be told, I had found you to be quite beautiful when I saw you clean....I was contemplating adding you to my harem when you grew older." Jabba took a sip of his wine as he let out a small chuckle. He seemed to be paying almost no mind to other harem girl now. "I've been told of your powers though and that will accelerate things a bit." Jabba nodded slightly and another harem girl brought out a number of outfits."You will join my harem, Korra. You shall be one of the jewels of it. Indeed.....one with your powers will be truly impressive. You will do more than just copulate with me. You will be displayed, along with your powers to impress. Once I'm sure I can trust you a planet to run....I feel you will be quite good at it." Jabba chuckled, downing his wine as his feline eyes gazed at Korra, judging her reaction."Accept, and I will wipe out your parents debt and reimburse them for selling you. They will be well off and provided for." Jabba stated as he let out soft moans from the copulating now as he licked his lips and then looked at Korra in a more menacing way."I don't think you want to know what will happen if you refuse, am I right?" Jabba said knowingly...she had seen slaves punished for even minor transgression....what would happen if she defied Jabba himself....she could surely think of a few things.
The Legend of Korra: Whore of the Galaxy (StarSiren & Potter-kun)
Korra nearly choked on the morsel of sweetcake she'd just put in her mouth. Did Jabbs just say he wantedherto join his harem? She coughed and sputtered, trying to get the bit of spongy bread out of her windpipe as the implications formed in her mind. Jabba wanted to fuck her. More than that, he would want to mate with her. He did that with all his harem girls eventually. She would be forced to give birth to a baby monster!But he didn't stop there. Jabba had ended with the one thing she hated most about being a slave. Yes, she was given a choice and she didn't have to comply with his wishes. But the alternative was often death, and in this case, she was certain it was horrible mauling and torture followed by a slow eventual death. Did she really want to die?Well no, of course not. But did she want to live while being a sex puppet for her disgusting, insatiable Master and eventually give birth to his oozing progeny? No, not at all. But she couldn't only think of herself. If she did this, her parents would have a clean slate again. They could really start over, maybe even move off planet and settle down somewhere really nice. Everyone knew that Jabba's favorite mates received monetary gifts from time to time. Korra could use those to help her family rebuild. Plus, she wouldn't be killed.As much as she hated to agree and detested the thought of her disgusting Master touching her , she had to admit that it was better than dying in debt. Korra gulped. If she agreed, nothing would be the same. Ever. Her eyes fell from her Master's face to the young girl moaning away on his tail. Again. With every bounce, sticky secretions dripped down her thigh. The girl began wailing suddenly as her rocking doubled in speed. It seemed this orgasm came twice as fast as the last one, and as she came, Korra felt something tingling throughout her body.'Shit.. the Spice. I didn't think I took that much...'Korra watched, eyes peeled as the girl screamed and fell back onto Jabba's fat tailcock. It must have slipped further inside her because she let out another yelp and began twitching on the floor while rubbing her own clit. It was another minute before she was at it again, but this time, Jabba's tail didn't come out. Her hands gripped it and slammed it in and out of her well used cunt as she lay on her back with legs spread.It was humiliatingly erotic. Korra felt the growing wetness between her legs and she squirmed in her seat. She straightened her back, but dropped her fork as her hardened nipples grazed the table. She let out a low, surprised moan. Had she really misjudged the amount of Spice she'd taken by this much?? Or.. wait, was the food laced with Spice? Or the wine? Oh god, if it was... she had already eaten two plates full and had three goblets of wine! This was bad! She absolutely could NOT be horny right now! Not when Jabba was proposing all this! Not while he was making her watch as he fucked this silly harem slave over and over and over. No, no no! The timing could not be worse!With ragged breaths, Korra placed her palms face down on the table. She swallowed hard against the building sensations throughout her body. Shehadto give him an answer now. His broken little slut was working on her fourth orgasm and Korra had been silently watching this whole time. She tried to calm her mind, to focus on the solid things like the chair underneath her or the table in front of her. Her hips began gyrating on the seat. Oh yes, the chain under her wasquitenice. it had interestingly placed little ridges that she could feel now and if she rubbed them just right.."Ahh!"Korra found one at the same time that her breasts knicked the table and twinged her nipples once more."Mmm.. mmmm!"Yes, the table was nice too. It was the perfect height for rubbing up and down against her breasts so that her nipples pinged off both the top and bottom edges. Her eyes had closed somewhere amidst all this and as she ground herself in her seat, she tried to speak."I..AH! I agree..eeeeee... uhhh.. I will.. nnghhh.. I will do what you say ayyyy! Ohhh.."But she wasn't getting anywhere with all this rubbing. It was infuriating her senses! She just wanted to get off, but something was inhibiting it! She blamed the Spice.
The Legend of Korra: Whore of the Galaxy (StarSiren & Potter-kun)
Jabba laughed as he saw Korra trying to secretly pleasure herself under the table obviously she wasn't hiding it very well between her moans and the way she was rubbing her breasts up against the table made it painfully obvious what she was trying to do. So he decided to relieve her of the stress of trying to do it secretly. He licked his lips as he motioned to one of his harem girls to fetch a new collar with leash for Korra."Korra...I am very happy you accepted to join the harem. We shall get you your new clothes soon...but you seem to be quite distressed at the moment." He chuckled as his feline eyes gazed upon her lithe form, her moans seeming to make him even more aroused then he already was with his tail buried inside one harem whore already."Please....stand before us all and pleasure yourself openly...there is no need to hide!" Jabba commanded waiting for one of the slave girls to attach the new collar to Korra. Once that was done, Jabba decided to relax and enjoy the show. He would watch Korra pleasure herself, egging her on every now and again with commands. Once he was sure she was properly warmed up and ready to go, he turned his attention to his harem."Girl...please bring your new sister to me and prepare her for her first copulation." he laughed, the veteran girls knowing exactly what to do and some of the newer girls excited to be able to help for the first time, remembering when they were in Korra's position. They would start with his tail to get her ready, but then they would move onto his cock, which was emerging from underneath his slimy fat rolls. It was a large and massive tentacle with a bulbous head and it was twitching in excitement and anticipation.Jabba himself watched as the girls went about preparing Korra...he himself kept his eyes on her, licking his lips. Yes, she was truly beautiful....she would be the jewel of his harem and already now he could envision her as his wife....that future was a long way off though, Korra would have to prove herself first.
The Legend of Korra: Whore of the Galaxy (StarSiren & Potter-kun)
Korra wished she could disappear. Yes, she was horny as fuck and yes she was trying to secretly masturbate in her Master's presence, but NO she did NOT want to have him openly watch her do it! And she absolutely DID NOT want to fuck his Slimeyness!! The thought of it was enough to make Korra wretch, but already Jabba's obedient harem slaves were appraoching. She had nowhere to run or hide when they lifted the table and carried it off against a wall. But the collar was too much. Her instincts told her to fight and she slapped the ominous thing from the Harem Mother's hand.The backhand hit Korra from out of nowehere. Her head spun, her face stung and she fell from her chair. Something cold was laid upon her neck and clamped shut. It was heavy and it jangled as she was lifted into an upright seated position on the floor. Soft hands roamed her body, sliding over and under the fabric of her common maid uniform. She felt the tension loosening as one by one, all her items of clothing were removed. Now naked, she tried to cover her engorged tits with one arm and hide her dripping cunt with her legs. The harem whores did not allow this, and pulled her arms and legs away so that the Mighty Jabba could see the jewels Korra would soon be offering him.She squirmed under the restraining hands of the harem, but her face remained flush with longing and her wet hole seemed to pulse and shine when eyes were upon it. She did not want this, but a voice blew down the back of her neck while another whispered into her ear."Pleasure yourself. The Master wants to see. It will ease the pain."Still, Korra refused to actually touch herself.So, the harem girls began kneading her breasts in their velvety smooth hands. Four hands on two breasts meant there was always a new sensation for Korra. Her nipples were squeezed, rubbed, flicked, tweaked, pulled and scratched while her breasts were fondled, pushed, pulled, scratched and pressed. Korra's will to fit was weakening with each passing second. It just felt so good! Her mind was succumbing to the Spice and the pleasure.No! She just needed to focus on Something plunged into Korra's sopping pussy, then another and the two long, thing objects vigorously pumped in and out of the drug addled girl. She gasped, then yelped in high notes of pleasure as she reached the very edge of orgasm."AHH! Ohhhhh Oh God! Oh GOD! Ahh! AHhh! Yes! Yes please! No! No please don't stop!!""Tell our Master how happy you are that he chose you. Tell him that you will do anything he asks without hesitation. Beg for him to fill up your belly with his seed."The woman roughly fingering Korra halted all her motion as she locked eyes with the poor girl. Korra would do and say exactly what Jabba wanted her to do and say or there would be no release."Do this and he will allow you to cum. Do it!"The words spilled from Korra's mouth in a heartbeat."Yes please! I'll do anything you say, Master. Anything at all! I'll be your filthy whore and you can fill me with all the babies you want, I don't care as long as i can cum! Please let me cum!"She panted desperately as her hips twitched. The woman's fingers were tantalizingly close to her entrance she could still feel their heat but not their presence. The girls abusing her breasts had stopped when the fingering had stopped, leaving Korra no option but to beg for an orgasm.Korra's words seemed to please Jabba and he muttered something that Korra did not understand. The woman leaned over Korra and pressed her lips against Korra's in a soft kiss."Very good. Now, please yourself the way you like so that our Master may watch you enjoy yourself. Leave no detail out."Then the woman stood and all at once, the girls brought Korra forward, close enough for Jabba to touch if he wanted to. Then they all sat down beside Jabba and began rubbing, sucking, licking and preparing his body for mating.Korra's ragged breaths echoed through the chamber. She swallowed hard, thinking about what she was about to do. Beads of sweat trickled down her chest as she laid back against the ornate floors. She had expected to be prone on cold tile, but her back made contact with an inclined pillow instead. It's velvety surface was warm and welcoming, but it served a different purpose for Jabba. With this pillow placed behind her back, the Hutt would be able to see both Korra's face and her pussy while she masturbated.With her back resting on the angled pillow, Korra spread her legs wide. She kept her knees bent and the flats of her feet on the floor as one hand slid down and began caressing her bald mound. Hygiene was important here and the fewer places with hair, the better. Korra's fingertips pushed against her lowerlips, rubbed them, flicked them and then spread them open. Her thumb circled the already stiffened clit while her free hand slid up to cup a breast. Korra massaged her firm yet spongy flesh and tugged at her own nipple as one curious finger slipped inside her eager pussy. She worked the finger in and out to the second knuckle, then added a second finger. With both fingers going, her thumb's circles turned sloppy. Each time she'd tweak her clit or bump her g spot, she'd use her other hand to tug hard on her nipple and groan with delight. The orgasm she'd twice been denied was coming quickly now and Korra pumped her fingers in and out furiously. The room resonated with squelching sounds overlapped by Korra's haggard "Ohhhh" noises.At last the climax was back on Korra's doorstep, and as she thumbed and finger fucked her way into it, something rough prodded for entrance to her pussy. Korra was so focused on cumming that she'd closed her eyes and wasn't paying attention to anything in the room anymore. With a final tweak, she sent herself screaming over the edge and something hard pushed her hand away, then rammed into her convulsing cunt.
