Chapter 243: f.u.c.k Normal

"Do you…

…want to?"

"..."

If breaths could sing, then the gasps that were coming out of V"s mouth would probably be an entire choir as she…

…waited for Riley"s response.

It has only been 2 seconds since she asked the question, but it felt almost like an eternity. She had been in the prison for like 5 months or so, but this single moment felt like it overshadowed it and even lasted longer. Is this what Tempo feels whenever he activates his abilities?

If so, how exactly has he lived so far?

V"s eyes perhaps, even more than her fettered breaths, gave away what she was currently feeling right now. She could barely even see Riley in her sights anymore as they trembled uncontrollably– the house, entirely becoming a blur.

Why did she say that? And why was Riley taking too long to respond? Did she… really actually want to experience it with Riley?

She was shocked– no. She was petrified when Riley mentioned doing it earlier; never once did Riley show any signs that he liked her as well… but could it be he does? Or was it just something he said as a joke?

And why was he taking too long to respond!?-- V thought. Any more, and it would feel like she was being tortured with the awkwardness, cringiness, and humiliation that was whispering and singing in the air right now.

But finally, after what seemed like another eternity, Riley opened his mouth.

"Do I want to do what, Victoria?" Riley blinked a couple of times as he looked her straight in the eyes.

Hearing Riley"s words, the only thing that V could do was cover her entire face from the embarra.s.sment. All this time living in eternal shame, and Riley did not even know what she was talking about.

She almost forgot who she was talking to– this was Riley. If she didn"t fully specify what it is that she was mentioning, then he would probably think of something else.

"That–" V was about to shake her head, but as soon as she saw Riley"s eyes directly staring at her"s, she could not help but take in a very deep gulp. Throughout the months that they were inside the house together…

…this was perhaps the very first time that Riley was looking at her– truly looking at her. Not once did she have a memory of Riley looking her in the eyes like this. And in that instant, every moment she had with Riley danced in her mind.

Her cleaning dishes, while Riley continued to watch Italian Mafia Reborn.

Her cleaning the house, while Riley continued to watch Italian Mafia Reborn.

Her tr.i.m.m.i.n.g the gra.s.s, while Riley continued to watch Italian Mafia Reborn.

All these moments seemed very mundane, but it was the only semblance in her life that felt normal. In between those moments, however, she felt like a normal girl– Riley made her feel like she wasn"t a super who had an obligation to save the people.

Their late-night talks about her life in the Hope Guild.

Their late-night talks of Riley listening to her rant and complaining about it.

Their late-night talks about Megawoman.

Their late-night talks of what it meant to be a true hero, about Darkday, about themselves, about their families, and about Megawoman.

Riley knew everything about her, and she knew everything about Riley– or at least she hoped so since she basically laid out her heart for him already. She was even confident that out of all the students and his friends in Mega Academy, she knew more about Riley.

They spent all these months together 24 hours a day– what they had was special.

It was the little moments for her; the little moments that Riley made her feel like a normal person.

Riley… has become a very special person for her. Whether or not it was love she was feeling, she had no idea. One thing she knew, however, was that if it was with Riley…

…she wouldn"t regret it either way.

"Do… you want to have se… s.e.xual intercourse with me?"

And so, with a little stutter but an abundance of courage, she once again asked. It was never her style to shy away from anything; facing anything that came at her head-on… and this situation was not any different.

If Riley was going to come, then let him come.

"..." V then suddenly covered her mouth as the thought… came into her mind; trying her best not to let out a hint of laughter and ruin the moment.

"No, Victoria."

"W… what?"

"I do not want to have s.e.xual intercourse with you," Riley then said without breaking a single word as he continued to stare directly into V"s eyes.

"I… I see," V then let out a small chuckle; her eyes, however, were about to be covered in a cloud of shame. No, this was good– she thought. At least she knew where she and Riley stood.

"This… this doesn"t change anything between us, right?" V once again stuttered, "We… we"re still friends?"

"No, Victoria. I do not have friends."

"This…" And now, truly, V did not know what to do. Should she just leave? No– she made a promise to herself that she would not leave the prison until Riley was freed. If she was right, then there should be another house… that would–"

"But I believe my body needs it, Victoria."

"...What?" Riley then blinked a couple of times as Riley suddenly approached her, "What… what do you mean?"

"s.e.xual intercourse," Riley muttered, "It has been months since my body last let out what it needed to let out. My organs have been impeding my normal routine because of it."

"What… are you trying to say?" V took in a small gulp as she slightly took a step back, pushing the huge sofa behind her.

"Let"s have s.e.xual intercourse, Victoria," Riley then said as he took off his prison clothes; revealing his almost perfectly chiseled torso.

"I… I"m not your toy that you could just use!" Victoria then suddenly screamed as she pushed Riley away; rushing out of the living room and straight into her room.

"..."

As for Riley, there was a somewhat confused expression on his face; his eyebrows, were ever so slightly furrowed. He stood there alone for a couple of seconds, before once again putting on his shirt and sitting on the sofa– turning on the TV to watch another episode of Italian Mafia Reborn on Webflix.

A few minutes later, however, he felt a pair of hands slowly crawling on his shoulders, moving all the way to wrap his chest.

"I… thought you didn"t like to be touched?" V then whispered into his ear.

"Without my permission, Victoria," Riley then gently removed V"s hand; grabbing the remote to make sure he paused what he was watching before once again leaning on the sofa,

"You have my permission ever since you entered the house," Riley then said as he gently held V"s arm.

"!!!"

Riley"s touch did not contain any warmth in them; but still, V started feeling a sort of weird heat crawling across her entire skin… all meeting between her legs.

"Hk."

All Riley did was touch her, but the limiter that was wrapped on her back started to light up the entire room– causing a torrent of electricity to destroy any electronic devices within the house… including the TV.

"..." Riley looked at the crackling screen for a few moments, before letting out a small sigh as he fully turned his eyes towards V; her eyes, trickling and sputtering as green crackles of electricity glimmered from them. Even with those, however, the lush red that wrapped her face could still be seen clearly.

"Is it possible that this would be your first time having s.e.xual intercourse, Victoria?" Riley then whispered as he gently placed her palm on her red cheek.

"S… shut up," V meekly said, "So… so what if it–"

And before she could finish her words, her lips suddenly met with Riley"s.

"!!!"

And due to the shock, the only thing she could do was pull her head away and let out a deep gasp; almost as if she almost drowned.

"And that was your first kiss as well?"

"D… does it matter?"

"Mine was with Megawoman, Victoria."

"W… what?"

"I have learned a lot of things about this activity, Victoria," Riley then flicked his finger, causing the both of them to suddenly float in the air.

"Wait… what are you–" And before V could finish her words, the shirt she was wearing started unb.u.t.toning itself; her pants too, started sliding down, only stopping around her ankles.

"Let me take the lead this time."

"W… wait!" V meekly screamed as she tried covering her chest, which was now only covered by her bra, "This… this is my first time, let"s… let"s do it normally!"

"I am afraid that"s not possible, Victoria."

And with those words, V"s pants that were hanging on her ankles suddenly tightened, cuffing both her feet together.

"W… what… what!?"

Riley then floated closer towards her, wrapping his arm around her pale waist that seemed to not have once been basked by sunlight; and perhaps that was the case, as V had always been inside her mecha suit.

"You are with me now, Victoria," Riley then whispered into her ears; and this time, V almost tucked in her head as the warmth of Riley"s breath seeped into her skin,

"You should forget being normal."

"..." And with those words, V could not help but blink a couple of times. Her eyes, as if thinking of everything and nothing at once; she stayed like this for a few seconds, letting Riley"s breaths drown her entire body.

Until finally, she let her arms go; revealing her normal-sized chest and embracing Riley,

"You… are right," she then whispered,

"f.u.c.k normal."
