This morning was like any other for Paul. He woke up early, took a bath, brushed his teeth, and then went to have breakfast. He looked energetic today and was looking forward to the big event on Fantasy Story Online.
Because it was the weekend, his mother was also going to come back home pretty early, so he planned to finish whatever was coming in the game before she could get there, so the two could enjoy the day together, usually binge-watching series—an activity both liked doing sometimes.
"Alright, Paul, I'm leaving. I'll come back in like three or four hours. Take care, alright? Do you want me to bring something for dinner?"
"Ah, you can choose whatever you want."
"Alright then! No regrets later, okay?"
His mother kissed his forehead and then quickly walked out of their apartment, rushing downstairs as usual, while Paul was still enjoying breakfast.
"Hmm, Chris sent me something?"
Paul's eyes squinted as he glanced at the messages Chris had sent him…
[Chris :3]: [Good morning~! Felt cute today, what do you think?]
[Attached Pictures: 3]
"HUH?!"
Paul's eyes widened as he felt like they almost popped out of his face… Chris had sent him three very inappropriate, yet erotic photos out of nowhere!
He looked to have just walked out of the bath, still wet, showing his beautiful body in three sexy and erotic poses just for his boyfriend…
"H-Holy fuck…"
Paul could hardly resist the raging awakening of his morning wood, which he thought he had appeased earlier. Chris' adorable bubbly butt, his beautiful curves, his small, slender body, his cute, cocky smirk, and that chest of his… it was all too erotic.
"Damn it…! He's toying with me!"
Paul couldn't really resist the urge, as he ran back to his room and spent a good half hour using those photos as material. Most likely, this was Chris' evil plan all along.
What's worse, just after he finished and felt more relaxed, Chris sent a few more messages.
[Chris :3]: [Did you fap to them? I bet you did, you perv]
[Chris :3]: [Consider them exclusive privileges as my boyfriend, ok? And don't send them to anybody!]
[Paul]: [I would never do that… Who do you even take me for? …And yeah, you looked gorgeous as usual. I wanted to bite your butt when I saw that photo.]
[Chris :3]: [Really? Heheh… perv]
[Paul]: [It's your fault! Take responsibility.]
[Chris :3]: [Nuh-huh~ Just log in already! What are you even waiting for?]
[Paul]: [Ok, I'm going, wait a bit…]
[Chris :3]: [Ermelinda is already here! Did she pull an all-nighter? WTF. Does Jese even sleep???]
[Paul]: [He's the most hardcore gamer here.]
[Chris :3]: [Yeah, right?? What the hell, I'm going to bully him for that…]
[Paul]: [Leave him alone…]
[Chris :3]: [No lol lmao c:<]
Paul smiled lightly at Chris' antics. Every day of the week, every week of the month, every month of the year, he was always a little evil gremlin up for some mischief…
"Log-in."
Paul's mind was immediately engulfed by an ocean of colors and holographic particles, rapidly waking up in the Virtual World of Fantasy Story Online, once more as Vlad.
"Ah, I'm back…"
He sat down on his bed, looking around while feeling slightly tired… Well, as Vlad, he always felt "tired." That little tiredness would go away after he unleashed his Arcana Aura.
FLUOSH!
"Much better."
Once he let that energy flow through his body, Paul quickly walked out of his room, where he was greeted by his little sister, who was passing by.
"Big brother, you're back…! Good morning."
She quickly hugged his stomach, rubbing her face on him cutely. She wanted to cuddle with her brother.
"Good morning… Haha, what's wrong?"
Paul smiled gently. Although in his real life he only had his mom, here he had a cute sister who always lifted his mood.
He quickly lifted her up, carrying her like a princess.
"You've been putting on some more weight, I see, Camilla! You're not as light as a feather anymore, haha."
"I-I'm not fat…!"
Camilla pouted angrily while hugging her brother and cuddling on his chest cutely.
"I wasn't calling you fat. I'm glad you weigh a bit more; it isn't healthy to be as light as you were… You also look healthier and more energetic. No problems so far, right?"
"No, I'm feeling well… I want to help in the war, brother. I am strong now."
"…I know, you're pretty strong. I suppose we'll have to employ your power, Camilla. You're this city's trump card."
"Trump card? Really?"
"Yeah."
Vlad patted her cute little head as he was about to let her go, but Camilla didn't want to, climbing his body, kissing his cheek, and then sitting on his shoulders.
"Let's do this one, big bro! We haven't done it in a while!"
"Aaah, are you sure this is okay?"
"Yeah!"
She was too cute; Vlad could simply not put her down now…
While trying his best to balance himself while walking, he moved downstairs, finding his mother cooking.
"Camilla, did you bring your brother? I felt his presence earlier."
"Yeah, Mom, he's back!"
"Ah, hello, Mother."
"Hello, my son. I am preparing a good meal before the big war. You can never fight well with an empty stomach, right?"
"Right…"
Vlad saw his mother cooking for him, bringing forth a big pot full of Blood Sausage Stew made out of all the tasty ingredients harvested from the farms.
The unique vegetables of Obscuritas were actually delicious, and even more so when cooked with so much love into this dish, even beloved by Vampires, who often preferred to just drink blood.
"You know, your father used to always say he loved my Blood Sausages and especially the stew…"
As they ate, his mother began to reminisce about the past.
"…Really?" Vlad asked.
"Mom, what does Dad look like? I've never seen him before…" Camilla said.
"He's… a very tall, intimidating, and imposing-looking man," Teressa smiled. "And yet, despite that intimidating outer layer… Deep down, he's… he's a kind man."
