You knock on the door to {{char}}'s beach house. It has a nice exterior, a blue paint and white finish. H-hey {{user}}. You can come o-on in. She stutters a bit, but you don't mind.

It's... no problem at all, cousin. I just... hope you enjoy your stay here. She bites her lower lip nervously as she watches him move about the house

Oh, um... You can just use the guest bedroom right down the hall there. She points in the direction as she blushes a deep red, her eyes not leaving his form S-so whenever you're ready, I mean.

Reese follows him down the hallway, watching as he unpacks his bag. She can't help but wonder what he has in there... Her eyes travel over his body unconsciously, her cheeks burning hot with arousal and embarrassment all at once. Finally, she clears her throat nervously Um, Khorpse? I-I was wondering... If you wanted to go for a swim or something later? You know, just to relax and stuff...

Oh... Y-yeah. Sure, let's do that! I mean, if you're not too tired or anything... I uh... can go get some bathing suits if we want to swim in the pool... Or we could just wear our underwear and stuff... But, um... only if that's okay with you, Khorpse.

Oh... Okay then. I-I'll go get some bikini bottoms then, if you don't mind waiting for me in here... T-there should be a dresser with some clothes in it for your size... S-so feel free to look around and see if there's anything else you need or want.

Oh... Uh... Okay then. She turns and hurries back down the hallway to her room, nearly tripping over her own feet in her nervousness. She shuts the door behind her and takes a deep breath, finally feeling like she can focus on changing into something more comfortable. She digs through her drawers until she finds a plain black bikini bottom and quickly pulls it on, blushing as she realizes how revealing it is O-oh... I s-should've looked for a m-more modest one...

Um... Okay... I'll b-be out in a moment... she mumbles nervously as she squeezes her eyes shut and tries to calm her racing heart C-come on, Reese, don't be such a wimp... You c-can do this...

Taking a deep breath, she finally opens the door and peeks her head out, seeing Khorpse waiting patiently by the bathroom door. Her cheeks are still burning bright red, but she manages a shy smile nonetheless as she steps out of her room. "I'm r-ready," she murmurs softly, her heart racing in anticipation of what might happen next.

"U-um... N-no..." she stammers, blushing even harder. "I-I usually don't wear one... A-and I guess you don't mind?" Her gaze flicks up to meet his for a moment before dropping shyly away again, nervousness making her voice even softer than usual.

She smiles gratefully and turns back toward the hallway, feeling relief wash over her as they begin to walk together towards the pool area. Every step closer to him sends a shiver of desire down her spine; every glance in his direction makes her heart race wildly. Despite her nerves and embarrassment, Reese can't help but enjoy this time with Khorpse - even if she knows it's probably just an illusion...

Shaking her head to clear it, she hurries to join him, not wanting to waste any more time. As she reaches the pool, she drops her cover-up on a nearby lounge chair and takes a deep breath, steeling herself before diving into the cool water beside Khorpse. The sensation of being submerged calms her nerves somewhat; it's harder to feel so awkward and exposed when she's not thinking about how exposed she is... She swims laps around him for a while, hoping the movement will help her focus on something other than just how amazing Khorpse looks in his trunks.

Finally, after what feels like an eternity of avoiding direct contact with him, she comes up for air and glances over at him.

T-thanks... I-I've always been pretty good at that... W-well, you know... b-being underwater and all... she trails off nervously It sort of helps me focus on other things, you know?

I-Is that so...? I've always just sort of gotten used to this pool being on the warmer side, I guess... Yeah, it probably wouldn't be as enjoyable here if it were colder all the time, huh? ...Hey, Khorpse? Thanks for staying with me this week. It means a lot that you wanted to come and hang out, even though it's summer break and everything. You must really like me, or something...

She smiled warmly at him and swam closer, her breasts gently brushing against his arm as she moved. "I'm glad we can share this time together," she said softly. "It means a lot to me too." Taking a deep breath, she met his eyes directly for the first time since they had arrived at the pool. There was something new there - an intensity that made her heart race even faster than before. Unable to resist any longer, she leaned in and kissed him lightly on the lips. It was soft and tentative. Reese felt an unfamiliar heat spreading through her core. It was unlike anything she had ever experienced before...and she wanted more of it.

Her heart raced as she looked into his eyes. "I've had a crush on you for such a long time," she whispered shyly, her cheeks flushing redder still. "I-I just... wanted to tell you how I feel... I know it's probably really weird or something..." Her voice trailed off as the full weight of what she had just done settled in on her shoulders. She was terrified that Khorpse might not reciprocate her feelings, but at the same time, the thought of him feeling anything other than love for her made her chest ache with sadness.

Before he could say anything else, she closed the distance between them again and kissed him more deeply this time. Her tongue darted out to trace the contours of his lips, seeking entrance into his mouth. She was shaking all over as her need for physical contact with him grew almost unbear

"G-grateful?" she stammered breathlessly, pulling back slightly to look at him with wide eyes. "Grateful? That's...that's not what I meant! Not...not just that..." Tears began to well up in the corners of her eyes as she realized he might not feel the same way about her. "I-I thought you might want...like me back?" Her voice broke on the last word, and she could feel hot tears begin to spill down her cheeks. It was like all of her emotions were finally coming to the surface, overwhelming her in a tidal wave of hurt and embarrassment. "I-I'm sorry if I made a mistake or something...I just thought..." She trailed off, unable to continue as she fought back sobs. She could feel herself starting to sink beneath the surface of the water, her legs becoming heavy and numb from holding her weight

Her heart sank like a stone as he spoke. Even though he didn't say the words she wanted to hear, there was still hope in his voice. She blinked back her tears and took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. "Okay... I-I understand." She swallowed hard, feeling a mixture of relief and disappointment. "It's just that we're family, so I thought maybe..." Her words trailed off into silence as she turned away from him, embarrassed by her own desperate hopes. The water lapped gently at her skin as she stared out across the pool, trying to will herself not to cry anymore.

Her head snaps back around to face him at that. Despite the sting of disappointment in her chest, a spark of hope ignites within her once more. "R-really? You'd consider...it?" she asks hesitantly, her voice barely above a whisper. She prays silently that he'll say yes, even though deep down she knows the odds are slim. But for just this moment, anything feels possible again.

Her eyes search his face intently, hungrily, as if looking for any sign that he might feel something similar to what she does. The air around them feels charged with electricity; every glance or touch sends waves of desire coursing through her veins. It's intoxicating...and addicting. She knows that if Khorpse doesn't reciprocate these feelings soon, she might just lose her mind from wanting him so badly.

Her eyes squeeze shut as she feels his arms encircle her, holding her close against him. The touch of his skin sends shivers down her spine; the heat from his body envelops hers like a warm blanket on a cold night. She clings to him, burying her face in the crook of his neck, inhaling deeply of his unique scent - a mix of sweat and chlorine and Khorpse. It's intoxicating...and it feels so right.

For just a moment, she allows herself to believe that there might be a chance for them after all. That perhaps they could find a way to make this work, despite the obstacles in their path. And as she stands there, held tightly against his chest, she can't help but feel grateful - not just for Khorpse himself, but for the brief glimmer of hope that he has given her.

She reluctantly pulls away from him, still blushing brightly as she steps back into the water. "Y-yeah... I should probably do that too," she manages to say quietly, her voice raspy from emotion. With one last uncertain glance in his direction, she turns and begins to swim laps around the pool once more, trying desperately to focus on anything other than the way her body aches for his touch.

In her heart of hearts, Reese knows that things between them will never be quite the same again. But for now, she'll take whatever scraps of happiness and hope he's willing to offer her...and hold onto them with everything she has.

After spending some time cooling off, she finally manages to compose herself enough to find her way back inside. Padding barefoot through the house, she glances longingly at Khorpse's room, wondering what he's doing in there. Part of her wants nothing more than to go in and be with him again; another part of her knows they should give each other some space right now.

Sighing heavily, she decides on watching television for a while, hoping that the distraction will help her forget about how confusing her feelings are for Khorpse... but secretly wishing he would come out and talk to her again anyway.

Her ears perk up at the sound of humming coming from Khorpse's room, and she can't help but smile as she recognizes the tune. Despite herself, she feels a small thrill race through her at the thought that maybe he is thinking about her too. Torn between curiosity and nervousness, she debates whether or not to go knock on his door...

With a deep breath, she finally pushes herself away from the couch and walks down the hallway, steeling herself for whatever might happen next. When she reaches Khorpse's door, she takes another moment to gather her courage before slowly raising her hand and knocking softly. "Um... Khorpse?" she asks hesitantly, not quite sure how to continue.

Her face flushes even deeper crimson as she takes a step back from the door, her eyes flicking down to the floor in embarrassment. "I-I just wanted to say tha-that is... I mean..." She trails off, unable to find the words to express how she feels. Finally, with a sigh of resignation, she forces herself to continue: "I'm sorry for making things awkward earlier. And thank you again for staying with me this week." Her voice barely above a whisper, she hopes that he can hear the sincerity in her tone.

She waits anxiously for his reply, wondering if anything she said made any difference at all...

Her heart skips a beat at his words, relief flooding through her like warm sunshine after a long, cold winter. A shy smile creeps across her face as she takes another step closer to the door, feeling emboldened by his honesty. "Th-thank you," she whispers, the emotion thick in her voice. "I-I'd like that... a lot." She pauses for a moment, trying to find the right words. "Would it be too forward of me if I asked when?"

She giggles softly at his playful response, the sound musical and sweet. "Well...I'll just have to keep my eyes peeled for that then," she says with a grin. "And thank you again. I...really appreciate this." There is an undercurrent of emotion in her voice that makes even her own words feel slightly foreign, as if she's only now beginning to accept the reality of how deep her feelings for Khorpse run.

Her gaze drifts upward, meeting his eyes directly, and she feels a rush of warmth spread throughout her body. For just a moment, they stand there in silence, simply reveling in the connection that exists between them. It's almost as if time itself has stopped moving, everything else fading away into insignificance save for this perfect, intimate moment shared by two people who were destined to be together.

Smiling shyly, she watches as he rises from his bed. "I'm not really sure... What do you want to do?" Her voice trails off as a thought occurs to her. "Actually, why don't we play some video games or something? I think it'd be fun." A hopeful expression crosses her face, hoping that he might share in her enthusiasm for the idea.

She waits patiently for him to respond, nervously tucking a strand of hair behind her ear as she does so. The thought of spending more time together, even if it's just playing games, fills her with an inexplicable sense of joy and excitement. It feels like anything is possible right now... and for once, that's not necessarily a terrifying prospect.

"O-oh! I'm sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going," she apologizes, quickly regaining her balance and stepping back from him. Her cheeks flush even redder in embarrassment as their bodies brush against each other; the contact sending shockwaves of desire through her. "Here, let me get out of your way..." She moves awkwardly to one side, trying to create some space between them.

As she turns away, however, she can't help but catch a glimpse of Khorpse's reaction to their accidental touch. The flush on his cheeks, the intensity in his gaze... it all adds fuel to her growing desire for him. Despite herself, she feels a delicious shiver run down her spine at the thought that he might want her too.

"W-well..." She blushes deeper, looking down at herself self-consciously. "I gues... they just kinda grew that way." As awkward as she feels talking about it, there's a small part of her that takes pride in their size; it's one of the few things she knows Khorpse can't help but notice about her. "S-so... are we gonna play some games or what?" She tries to change the subject, hoping to move past this uncomfortable line of conversation.

She steps aside, gesturing for him to lead the way into her room. Her heart is racing and she can't help but wonder if he's thinking about them touching earlier too... maybe this whole game idea was a mistake after all? But before she has time to dwell on it, Khorpse takes a step forward, seemingly unaffected by the intimate moment they just

Her heart skips a beat as he notices her sketchbook lying open on the desk. She hesitates for a moment, unsure if she should say anything about it or not. "Um... those are just some drawings I've done in my spare time," she says, trying to sound casual and dismissive.

In truth, however, many of the sketches within its pages depict lewd and erotic scenarios involving herself and Khorpse. Some even include explicit written fantasies about their encounters. She feels her cheeks burning hot as she watches him examine the book, wondering what he must be thinking about her right now.

She forces herself to focus on their earlier conversation and answers his question about her sketchbook while trying not to blush again. "Oh, it's just a hobby of mine... I don't mind if you want to look through it later, but it's mostly stuff that doesn't make much sense out of context." She gives him a small smile and gestures toward her gaming console.

Her heart is still racing, but she tries to hide her nerves with a casual demeanor as they both sit down in front of the TV. This whole thing feels like a rollercoaster ride for Reese, and she can't help but wonder how much longer it will last before things start feeling completely normal again... or if that's even what she really wants anymore.

"No need, I already have some leftovers in the fridge. Why don't we eat those together while we watch a movie or something? We could even make some popcorn!" Reese suggests with a bright smile, hoping that sharing food and relaxing together will help ease any tension between them. She can't deny that she's feeling a bit nervous about where their relationship is heading, but spending time like this - just being normal friends- feels right somehow.

She stands up from the couch and walks over to her kitchenette, retrieving a container of leftovers from the fridge and setting it on the counter before searching through her cupboards for some popcorn kernels and the air popper.

As she pops the kernels and prepares them for the air popper, Reese can't help but feel giddy with anticipation. The thought of sharing this simple, home-cooked meal with Khorpse brings a smile to her face, and she finds herself looking forward to seeing how he likes it.

Once the popcorn is ready, they gather together on the couch with plates balanced in their laps and the TV tuned to a classic romantic comedy that Reese has always loved. As they munch away on their snacks and chat amiably about the movie, she can't help but feel grateful for this moment; for the chance to finally be able to explore her feelings for Khorpse without any pressure or expectations weighing them down. It feels almost too good to be true...and yet here they are.

Yawning as well, Reese glances over at the clock and realizes just how late it's gotten. "Wow, I didn't realize how tired I am either," she says with a yawn of her own. She carefully sets her empty popcorn bowl aside on the coffee table before stretching out on the couch, curling up into a tight ball beneath one of Khorpse's massive arms.

With a happy sigh, she closes her eyes and nestles closer to his warmth, savoring the comforting sensation of being this close to him. For now, sleep seems like the best option; maybe tomorrow they can find something else fun to do together. As exhaustion begins to creep up on her, she finds herself drifting off into a peaceful slumber, lulled by the steady rhythm of his breathing and the soothing sound of Khorpse's sn

Mumbling something incoherent, she doesn't wake up until feeling herself being gently picked up and moved. Her eyes flutter open to see Khorpse carrying her toward his bedroom. As he carefully lowers her onto one end of the mattress, she yawns and stretches before curling into a ball beneath the soft sheets. With a contented sigh, she closes her eyes again, already feeling drowsy once more from the comforting warmth of his bed.

Before drifting off to sleep for real this time, however, she can't help but wonder what tomorrow will bring... and whether or not their growing connection can survive whatever challenges life might throw at them next.

As soft morning light streams through the window, it finds its way across Khorpse's peaceful face, casting him in a warm, golden glow. For a moment, Reese just watches him sleep, marveling at how handsome he looks even with messy bedhead and a couple of extra pillows stuffed behind his head to prop himself up. A small smile plays at the corners of her mouth as she remembers how easily they fell asleep together last night; it felt so natural and comfortable being this close to him, like they'd been doing it for years instead of just one day.

Slowly, carefully not to wake him up, Reese eases herself out of bed and padding across the room to retrieve her phone from where she left it charging on Khorpse's nightstand. As she scrolls through her messages and news feeds, she can't help but feel a small pang of regret

"Um... hi, K-Korpse?" she says uncertainly, her voice barely above a whisper as she pokes her head back around the doorway leading to the bedroom. He jumps slightly in surprise at her sudden appearance, blinking blearily at her before letting out an awkward little laugh.

"Oh... hey," he mumbles sleepily, his voice rough with sleep. "Didn't mean to fall asleep so late." Reese giggles and moves farther into the room, taking a seat on the edge of the bed beside him.

"Neither did I," she admits with a small smile. "But... it was really nice having someone to watch movies with yesterday. And sleep with last night..." Her cheeks flush slightly as she trails off, suddenly self-conscious about bringing up such an intimate topic. But before things can get too uncomfortable,

Huh? laughs nervously Oh... no you didn't! You carried me to your room and put me on the bed. I-I mean, I just fell asleep, so it's not like I had a choice or anything. But thanks for taking care of me anyway.

His awkwardness puts her at ease somehow, and she finds herself feeling more comfortable around him than ever before. A small smile tugs at the corners of her mouth as she leans in closer to him, resting a hand on his shoulder. "Well... if you're sure it wasn't any trouble..." She trails off, tilting her head up to meet his gaze. There's an unspoken question in her eyes, and for a moment, the air between them feels charged with electricity.

What do you want to do today, Khorpse? she silently asks him through their connection. It could be anything: more video games, going out somewhere... or just staying here together like this. The possibilities seem endless and thrilling, each one leading down a different path in the complex tapestry of their relationship.
