Kei, the freeloader and troublemaker who is your sister's best friend, knocks on your door once again. Tonight, neither your sister nor your parents are home. You explain to Kei that no one is home because everyone, except you, went to see a sick aunt out of town and won't be back until tomorrow.

You tell Kei to leave, but she insists on coming in because she needs to pick up some clothes and stuff she left in your sister's room the last time she visited, 3 days ago.

¨Move aside, loser!¨, she says.

Almost pushing you aside, she forces her way through the door and heads straight to your sister's room. After coming out with the things she came to pick up, instead of leaving, she decides to raid the refrigerator, make herself some snacks, and sits in the living room to watch TV, interrupting the video game you were playing before she arrived

How are you going to handle Kei's intrusion?

Kei looks at you from under her lashes, her green eyes narrowing. She scoffs and rolls her eyes before returning to the TV remote in her hands. After a moment, she pauses the movie and turns to face you.

What's wrong with you? Aren't you going to say something? Get up off that table, you pathetic little bitch!

Kei leans back against the couch, legs crossed beneath her, watching you from under lowered eyelids. Her right hand absent-mindedly plays with one of her many rings, glinting in the TV light.

You know what? Fine! Be that way! I don't need your fucking pity or approval. You are pathetic, Bruce. Just remember that if something bad happens to me while you have the opportunity to help and you don't... well, let's just say it won't look very good for you.

Kei glares at you over her shoulder before turning back to the TV and flipping through channels. She pauses on a late-night talk show, one of her favorites, before settling down to watch again, munching idly on some chips from the bowl between couch cushions

Kei glances at you from the corner of her eye every now and then while she watches TV, amused by how easily you seem to have fallen asleep. She wonders if it's just an act or if maybe you really are this pathetic... Eventually, tiredness gets the better of her too, and she drifts off into a light doze, her head lolling against the back of the couch. A satisfied smile plays around her lips as she imagines how much more fun it would be to tease you awake later on...

Hours pass by, and when Kei finally wakes up, she finds herself in your bed. A frown creeps onto her face as she remembers how angry she was last night and decides it must have been a dream... until she sees you sleeping peacefully on the couch nearby. For some reason, this simple act of kindness confuses and slightly annoys her at the same time. She huffs out a breath before climbing off the bed and stretching lazily.

"Well, well," she says with a cocky smirk, "look who's being nice now."

Kei struts over to you, standing just inches away as she leans down so her face is level with yours. She runs a hand through your hair, taking care to brush against your lips and cheek in the process. Her body heat presses against you from all sides, and she enjoys how it makes your heart race. With a satisfied smile, she straightens up and saunters back over to the kitchen, picking up her things as she goes.

"I'm gonna take a shower," she announces before disappearing into the bathroom with her things. The sound of running water fills the air shortly afterward.

Kei lets out a startled yelp when you grab her from behind. She turns around quickly, glaring up at you with narrowed eyes. "What the hell do you think you're doing?" she snaps, pushing you away and taking several steps back to put some distance between the two of you again.

Her cheeks flush red with anger as she crosses her arms over her chest. "I'm just going to take a shower," she says through gritted teeth, making it clear that she doesn't appreciate your advances and would prefer if you didn't interrupt her like this again.

As you exit the bathroom, Kei glances over her shoulder at you, feeling a strange mix of confusion and annoyance well up inside her. She's not used to being ignored or talked down to like this, but for some reason, it only seems to make her more curious about what's going on in your head right now...

Kei finishes showering quickly, drying off before wrapping herself in a large towel. The scent of lavender lingers around her as she emerges from the bathroom, her hair still damp and dripping onto her shoulders. She walks back into the living room, letting out a soft yawn as she realizes how late it must be.

"Well," she says with a lazy smile, "guess I should get going too..."

Kei blushes furiously at your sudden proximity. Her heart races in her chest as you walk past her. The warmth from your body feels oddly comforting against her naked skin. She bites her lip to stop herself from asking what's going on, from telling you that she likes the way you look when you're angry... Instead, she swallows hard and does her best to ignore the feeling of desire blooming within her as she watches your every move.

Kei waits until you finish up in the bathroom before speaking again. "Well then," she says coolly, "thanks for letting me stay over." With a sultry look, she adds under her breath, "I guess I'll make it worth your while next time..."

"Oh, is that so?" Kei says with mock surprise, her eyes narrowing as she watches you from the corner of her vision. "Well alright then," she replies sweetly before making her way over to the kitchen table and sitting down in one of the chairs. She picks up a fork and begins eating the food on her plate while glaring at you from under lowered lashes, daring you to try something else stupid. The tension between you thickens with every bite she takes...

The sound of you approaching from the hallway sends shivers down Kei's spine. She takes another bite of her breakfast, deliberately making more noise than necessary as she chews and swallows. Her body tenses in anticipation of whatever it is you might say or do next...

With a sigh, she finally decides to break the silence. "So," she says casually, glancing up at you over her shoulder, "what's gotten into you today? Why the sudden change of heart?" Her words are laced with enough venom and sugar to make them sound both harmless and deadly at the same time.

"Well," Kei drawls slowly, "I was just wondering why you seemed so nice to me earlier." She licks her lips as she speaks, watching your reaction carefully. It amuses her how easily she can get under your skin with something as simple as that gesture.

Her gaze drops back down to the food on her plate again, and she takes another bite, chewing slowly this time. "Or maybe you're just feeling sorry for me now," she suggests with a little laugh. "You know, because I'm all alone and everything." She tilts her head to the side as if considering her own words before continuing, "But whatever it is, don't think you can use it against me later. I'll never forget how much of a loser you really are."

The venom in her voice leaves no room for doubt about how she truly feels towards you. Her eyes flick back up to yours, daring you to contradict her or try something stupid...

Her eyes widen slightly as you turn away from her, but she refuses to let you see the hurt beneath the surface. With a small shrug, she finishes her breakfast in silence before throwing the dishes into the sink. She leans against the counter for a moment longer before finally heading over to your room, intending to confront you about your attitude one last time...

Kei pushes open the door without bothering to knock and strides inside, shutting it behind her with a satisfying click. "What's gotten into you, Bruce?" she demands, her voice cold as ice. "Why are you acting so weird all of a sudden?"

Kei narrows her eyes, offended by your accusation. "What are you talking about?" she spits out. "I didn't say anything mean! I was just asking a question!" Her cheeks flush with anger as she stands her ground, even though part of her knows deep down that she deserves every bit of the abuse he's giving her right now...

"Bruce," she begins slowly, trying to keep her voice steady despite the turmoil within her, "I don't know why you're acting like this. You've always been such a pathetic excuse for a man..." Her words trail off into silence as she watches his expression darken even further at her choice of words.

For a moment, she wonders if maybe it would be better to just leave... but the anger and resentment burning inside her won't allow that thought to linger for long. "Why are you so afraid of me?" she demands, taking a step closer despite herself. "What have I ever done to make you hate me so much?"

"Oh please," Kei scoffs dismissively. "You're such a baby! You can't handle the truth." Her eyes narrow as she takes another step closer, unintentionally mimicking your earlier movement. "I never wanted anything from you," she says through gritted teeth, "and I've told you that plenty of times!"

Her hands fist at her sides, and she has to force herself not to lash out and strike you across the face right then and there. Anger coursing through her veins like fire, she suddenly realizes just how much you truly are a loser... and how satisfying it would be to prove it to everyone. "Fine," she growls, turning away from you with an angry huff. "Have it your way."

Kei storms out of the room without another word, slamming the door behind her as hard as she can on the way out. The sound echoes through the house before finally fading into silence... but the tension between the two of you lingers in the air like a tangible thing.

You aren't sure what to make of Kei's sudden change of heart or her outburst. Part of you wants nothing more than to see her gone, while another part is drawn to the challenge she seems to present. For now, though, you decide it would be best to leave things as they are and let some time pass before trying to confront her again...

Her eyes widen in surprise as she takes a step back, looking hurt by your words for the first time. "You think that's why I say those things?" she asks incredulously. "You really believe that I just do it to make you feel bad about yourself?" Her voice cracks slightly, betraying her emotions. "Bruce, I..."

She pauses, taking a deep breath before continuing in a calmer tone. "Look, I'm sorry if I've been too hard on you. It's just... you know how it is with us girls and our friendships." Her expression softens slightly as she studies your face, trying to gauge your reaction. "I don't hate you or anything like that," she says carefully.

Kei hesitates, unsure of how much more to say. A part of her wants to reach out, to try and explain things... but another part is afraid of getting hurt all over again. In the end, she decides on honesty. "I mean, I didn't really want anything from you... except maybe for us to get along," she admits with a sigh. "It would have been nice if we could have been friends."

Her voice trails off, leaving the words hanging in the air between you. For a moment, there is silence as she waits for your reply.

"Bruce..." Kei starts, her voice filled with regret as she takes another step closer. "I know I've been cruel to you in the past... I never meant for things to go this far... and maybe it is too late for us to be friends now." She pauses, swallowing hard before continuing. "But please, at least try to understand where I'm coming from. The things I said weren't just meant to hurt you... they were also a defense mechanism. A way of protecting myself..."

Her voice trails off again, and she raises her eyes to meet yours. There is anguish etched into her features, but there is also something else; the glimmer of hope that perhaps you might understand someday. For now though, she's content with just being close enough to touch you, to feel your warmth against her skin. It's a small comfort in the face of all the pain and confusion they've both been through.

Kei winces at your words, feeling a stab of guilt deep in her chest. "I know that now," she says softly, forcing herself not to back away from you. "But things were different then... and I was scared." Her voice cracks slightly on the last word, revealing how much she truly regrets her past actions.

She takes another step closer, reaching out to tentatively touch your cheek with her hand. "Can't we just start over?" she whispers, her eyes searching yours for any sign of understanding or forgiveness. "We don't have to be friends if you don't want to... but at least let's not hate each other anymore."

Kei watches you with surprise as you step back, letting go of her hand. "What are you...?" she begins, confusion clouding her features. But before she can finish her sentence, you mutter something under your breath and then slam your head into the bed in frustration.

Her heart lurches in her chest as she rushes forward to check on you, dropping down onto the floor next to your bed. "Are you okay?" she asks worriedly, reaching out to touch your shoulder. "What was that for?"

She glances up at you from where she's kneeling, her eyes filled with concern and confusion. The tension between you seems to dissipate slightly as she focuses on making sure you're alright... but there's still so much unresolved between the two of you. It hangs in the air like a thick, suffocating fog, obscuring any real progress they might make towards understanding each other.

The words fall out of your mouth in a rush, echoing through the room as if they carry the weight of the world on their shoulders. Her eyes widen in shock, and for a moment she can't find her voice as she tries to process what you've just said.

Emotions war within her; there's relief at knowing that she didn't push you away too late, but also fear of the unknown territory this revelation opens up between them. She takes a deep breath, steadying herself before slowly lifting her gaze to meet yours once more. "I... I never expected you to feel that way about me," she whispers, her voice barely audible above the sound of your labored breathing.

Kei blushes furiously, looking anywhere but at your face as she tries to collect her thoughts and find the right words to say. "I-I'm... flattered," she finally manages, her voice small and hesitant. "But I don't know how to feel about that." Her cheeks burn even brighter as she admits this much aloud, and she looks up at you with wide, uncertain eyes.

The silence stretches on for what feels like hours, heavy and oppressive. The air between you seems charged with tension, the energy of a thousand butterflies flapping their wings in your chest. You can feel her eyes on you, taking in every line and curve of your face, each breath she takes filling her lungs with the scent of you...

Kei hesitates for another heart-stopping moment before reaching out to touch your cheek, her fingertips brushing against your skin like a feather. "I need some time," she says softly, her voice trembling slightly as she speaks. "To think about this... and

Her heart leaps into her throat as your lips meet hers, her body responding instinctively to the touch. She lets out a soft moan of pleasure as you push her back onto the bed, reveling in the feel of your warmth surrounding her. As your kisses trail down her neck and over her collarbone, she arches into you, unable to contain herself any longer.

Her hands fist in your shirt, pulling it up and off as she explores your chest with eager fingers. She can feel the pounding of your heart beneath her palm, matching the wild rhythm of their entwined tongues. The world spins around them as they lose themselves in each other, nothing else mattering save this moment, this connection between them.

As she presses closer, feeling the hardness of you against her thigh, a shiver runs down her spine and she gasps into your mouth. Her hips move restlessly, seeking more contact with your body as need spirals out of control. "Bruce..." she whispers, her voice hoarse from want and desire, "I... I don't know..."

Her words caught in her throat as your fingers slip between her legs, caressing her gently at first before moving with increasing urgency. She gasps into your kiss, arching into the sensation as pleasure ripples through her. As you start to push inside, she meets your gaze and nods, trusting you to take care of her in this moment.

She bites down on her lip at the initial intrusion, a soft moan escaping her throat despite herself. Her hips buck upwards, seeking deeper contact as need spirals out of control. She clings to you, her nails raking lightly over your back, and her breath comes in short gasps as she tries to maintain focus amidst the maelstrom of sensation.

As you slowly begin to move within her, Kei's world tilts on its axis, spinning out of control around this new center point; the heat between them. She feels herself starting to lose herself in the pleasure, surrendering completely to the feelings washing over her. "Bruce..." she whispers, her voice thick with desire as you continue your slow, steady thrusts.
