"I''m going to need everyone to shut up."

    "Jay?"

    "What are you doing here? Wait... What are we doing here? Don''t tell me that we all-"

    "I slept in the bath..." Jay noted, looking around him. "Shut up, Al. I''m sick of your shit."

    "Huh? What did I do?"

    "Oh, right." Kris scratched his head, remembering.

    "Huh? W-What?"

    "God, you were so fucking annoying yesterday." Jay sighed. "Just... Raya this, Raya that."

    "Hu... HUH?!"

    "Yes, seriously." Kris nodded.

    "If you want her that badly..." Jay started.

    Al kept shaking his head. ''This isn''t happening. This isn''t happening...'' He repeated to himself internally over and over again.

    If you want her that badly...

    Kris and Jay turned towards each other.

    "Just confess to her how you feel."

    "Just get naked in front of her."

    The two frowned, and the annoyance they both shared towards Al slowly started turning against the other.

    "Confess!"

    "Get sex!"

    "What the fuck?"

    "They''re horny females! The easiest way to get it done is getting naked!"

    "What the fuck?" Kris repeated.

    "What? You wanna tell them about your feelings? They''re feeeemaaaales! They don''t understand that stuff, or care about it!"

    "Of course they do! You''re generalizing badly! Just because a few bad apples-"

    "I''m sorry but the whole tree is poisoned!"

    "Well, maybe that''s because you''re looking for poison!"

    ''It does feel better when no one is around...'' She thought to herself as she slowly let her cheek fall against his chest.

    Wrapped up in the blanket while seated on him, Liz felt she could sleep for another three days, or more... For as long as he would hold her in this manner.

    Liz raised her chin, and he lowered his.

    "How are you doing? After yesterday?" He asked after kissing her passionately. "Slept okay?"

    "Yes... I did." Liz whispered. "Thanks for coming to see me... Yesterday, and now."

    "Don''t thank me." The Paru''s hand slowly moved up her neck before reaching her earlobe. "It really looks great on you."

    "Y... Yeah... I guess I was supposed to take it off before sleeping-"

    Liz''s eyes suddenly widened.

    "Wait... I''m supposed to go see the Commander."

    "You are?"

    "Yes! She said as soon as I wake up!"

    "Hm... Isn''t it fine? I mean... You could have woken up an hour later from now... Or three."

    Staring into his eyes silently, Liz really considered it for a moment.

    Being wrapped up this way in the blanket, seated on his legs, and held in his arms... She felt incredibly comfortable.

    But beyond that, she felt incredibly tiny. Something that was starting to arouse her.

    "No, I have to go." Liz said as she deposited a kiss on his cheek. "I''ll see you later. I doubt it will take long, since the Commander is probably... Well, you saw how she was yesterday."

    "Yeah." Cero nodded.

    Just as Liz started getting off his legs, his right hand swiftly moved below her knees.

    "Alright."

    "W-What are you doing?"

    "I''m carrying you to the Commander."

    "W-W-What? Hahahhaa! No, let me dowwnnn! I have to get dressed! I can''t go there in underwear!"

    "Hmm..." The Paru stared at her for a bit. His right arm lowered her, allowing her feet to touch the ground. His left arm remained around her back. "Alright then." His right hand undid her bra.

    "That''s not what I meant! Hahahah! Stop! I have to go!"

    "Fine, fine... I will miss you."

    "I hope you will!" Liz chuckled. "Alright, off you go! I have to get dressed!"
