SIX|| A House Pet?!

“So he called you out on your bullshit, I don’t see the problem”. Have I mentioned that I hate Sakura Hoshino? I haven’t?.

Well, I hate Sakura. I really do.

“I mean he didn’t even disturb you for the rest of the day, you’re just bitching at this point”.

The audacity of this woman. Considering the fact that this whole thing started because she kept forcing nuclear waste down my throat, she should be begging me for forgiveness and promising me her firstborn or something.

But no, it’s all — “Why run at the entrance anyway, what are you? Some regretful bride?”.

The thought of Aronohai Miyamura chasing me like some kind of misunderstood husband has me shivering violently.

I forbid such!.

As I wrap my blankets tighter around myself, I glare hotly at Sakura. Pick your friends wisely, or you’d end up like me.

“I swear everyone hates me”. I mutter to myself.

“Is that actual self-pity coming from you?”. I burrow deeper into my nest. It’s common sense to avoid fools after all. “I mean I recall telling you not to leave the room”.

Here she goes again.

“I mean why did I go through all the trouble to rent a room if you were just going to stumble into the lap of the first alpha you find?”.

“He pulled me into his lap”. This has to be the fourteenth time I’ve made this argument. Wouldn’t it be nice if I could glare people out of existence?.

“Good for you then, since that’s the closest you’ll ever get to a man”. Oh, that’s low. I’ve got to match that. I sit up straighter and shrug off my blankets.

“How close did you get to your last girlfriend? I recall she had some kink, what was it again? I can’t seem to…”.

“You freaking bastard, I didn’t do any of that shi…”.

“Ah! A piss kink was it? Well, I’m not one to kinkshame, it’s a good thing I don’t bring up the past right, Sakura?”. I smile brightly at her. She has to know I’m a kind and understanding friend.

She has to understand that fact.

“I never drank her piss you dirty…”, of course I don’t let her finish, where’s the fun in that?. Heh.

“I thought you meant she wanted to pee on you? You drank her piss? Really Sakura? Wow, you’re so out there”. She makes this sound, like a constipated ferret. Good.

“I really can’t compete with you, I mean you got reeaall close to her, didn't you?”, I put extra emphasis on ‘real’. “All that piss, is that even sanitary? I mean…”.

“Fine fine, I’m sorry you hear! I’ll stop bringing it up so shut your mouth”. That’s a nice glare she’s got there, she might be able to glare people out of existence with that one. “You’re a bastard too you know”. She picks up her phone and gets up.

Yes, leave my room.

“You’re the one who wouldn’t stop bringing it up”, I roll my eyes at her. It’s talk smack, get smacked. She knows this. She grabs one of my pillows and tosses it at my head, I dodge.

“I’m just saying, it could’ve been worse you know?”, she sighs. “What if it wasn’t Aronohai? What if it was one of those alpha supremacists? Or what if Aronohai was in a really bad mood? This could’ve been a lot worse, Hagakure Sorahiko!”.

Full naming me? Damn, she’s mad.

“And I was in there, completely wasted while you were out there handling The Aronohai Miyamura!”. Hate to break it to you Hoshino, but I had nothing handled.

“If anything had happened, I would have never known! And I wouldn’t have been able to do anything because you left the damn room without calling for room service! I mean how the hell would I even question Aronohai? What would I have even said?…”.

Well now I feel like shit, She spent all this time worrying and all I’ve been doing is bitch about the bastard.

“Look Sakura, I’m sorry”. She stops speaking and blinks at me. The hell? I apologize when I’m wrong, don’t I?. “I’m honestly really lucky this didn’t end up far worse so I’ll stop complaining about it, happy?”. It’s easy to slump back and rest against the bed, so I do just that.

“It’s just so new to me”, I turn to face her, “I’ve never been this close to a high-class alpha you know?”.

Sakura sits beside me, “Bitch about it if you want to, just don’t overdo it”. She’s honestly a sap. “I mean you can’t just keep it in, but just remember he could’ve given you an actual punishment”. She turns to face me too.

“It really could’ve been a lot worse Hagakure”.

“Do me a favour and define overdo?”. I receive a very unimpressed look for that one.

“Talk smack within the four walls of our apartment, nowhere else”. She deadpans, “deal?”.

“I’m not insane, where else would I say this?”. Does she think I’m some type of fool? I’m not seeking death. Like hell I’d walk in the street talking smack about an Aronohai. Even the thought has my gut clenching.

“You tend to mutter when you’re irritated Sora”. Oh. I forgot I do that.

“Deal”. We shake on it.

“So you have no talents?”.

“No sir, I’m sorry to disappoint sir”. I’m not.

“So if I tell you to bust a move here, you’d be unable to?”. Is that a threat??.

“I apologize sir, I have no rhythm”. I’m not sorry.

“Woe is me, I’ve been tricked”. The Bastard leans over my desk, pushing my papers to the ground while being unnecessarily dramatic. “My pet is so boring”.

Excuse me? I’m on the same level as a house pet?.

“All he does is glare at me and nip at my ankles”. The Bastard straightens up and sighs at me. I bend down to pick up my papers holding back a sigh of my own. “What dog doesn’t know any tricks?”.

I’m human you bastard!.

“Perhaps you need a bit of training…”. There’s that dark look in his eyes again. That shit’s positively terrifying. “…I’d have to check how to teach my pet new tricks”.

Well fuck me. Woof.

A beat of silence.

“Well, how good are your coffee-making skills?”. Can he just stay silent?. For an eternity at least?.

“They’re manageable sir”. Politeness is the key to life.

“You really have no talents, do you?. Deep breaths, what doesn’t kill you now, might kill you later. “What a sad existence you must be, being so generic must be quite humbling”. Bastard sighs.

“Not that I can relate to that, though”. He smirks at me.
