Starling Academy

[Eliza]

Adrian leaned down and placed a few small, tender kisses on her lips before he smiled. "Alright, I feel I've teased you enough, do you want to go to our room?" He tilted his head, staying still for the time being until he had her answer. It was almost unbearable to stop moving, but he managed. He thought about the new occupant of the house and wondered what Stella thought of her, it might make for some enjoyable times if she did. As long as he didn't have to touch her, it might be fun for Anna to join in too. It wasn't as if she didn't have a habit of charming people, she just friendzoned them to the point of being in a lead lined box, in a vault, under the ocean, in the heart of a volcano. He had to stifle a laugh as that crossed his mind and he went back to focusing on Stella and the dazed look on her face.

That came as a surprise to Anna and she furrowed her brows together. "Why not? You have so many amazing qualities, just from what I've seen!" It didn't seem to bother her that Shiven was a bit blue, Anna had happiness enough that she knew sooner or later Shiven would succumb and smile again. That was what she most looked forward to, getting to see more of Shiven's smiles. She had enjoyed the first one more than she had enjoyed anything up to that point. It made her feel warm inside in a way she hadn't expected. "Well, now you'll have a house full of friends! If you want to be friends, anyway. Stella and Adrian are both really nice, I think you'll like them. Besides, I'm a shut-in too. I go to school, and to the coffee shop. Oh, and I run every morning, I'm still kind of fat, but I try." To emphasize, she poked her stomach.

[Shuboni]

Stella almost whined when Adrian stopped, but knew he would probably call that cute. She definitely didn't want him to say she looked cute while she was laying naked under him like this. "M... Maybe..." She looked away. "I was wanting to make you finish too, you know." She wiggled her hips a little before looking up at him. "I really like it when you finish inside of me, you know. I love how warm it is." She bit her lip again, looking deep into his eyes.

"Well..." Shiven guessed now was as good of a time as ever to admit a little about her past. "See... I had friends when I was little... Or, I thought I did. But it turned out that they all really just pitied me." She sighed. "I grew up in an anti-magic neighborhood. Everyone looked down on me, saying I wasn't natural and all that, but they wouldn't say it to my face because they wanted to look like they were actually good people." She looked away, not wanting to think about it. "That's why I'm a shut-in. Never really wanted to be betrayed again like that. People tell me they're my friends while insulting me behind my back. Calling me a witch and other slurs like that." She couldn't help it. Now she looked genuinely sad. She hated those memories. She had left and gone to school to get away from it all. She didn't even talk to her parents anymore because of that.

[Eliza]

As Adrian looked into her eyes, all he could think was that Stella was definitely trying to kill him. He groaned when she moved her hips and closed his eyes for a moment. "Do you know what you do to me?" He shook his head, sitting up on his knees while still inside of her. "Sit up, then. I can always just carry you like this, you know." his wolfish grin was back, but his eyes held nothing but affection and admiration for the girl beneath him. He wanted to spend the rest of his life with her if he could.

Anna remained silent while Shiven was talking, her eyes growing somewhat angry as she continued about the kind of people she had to grow up with. Wordlessly, she shifted so she was straddling Shiven's hips, their hight difference making it so they could see eye to eye. Anna understood the importance and the solace that came with quiet understanding so she just sat there for a moment, not doing or saying anything, before she pulled Shiven against her and wrapped her arms around her in a hug. She buried her face against Shiven's shoulder and squeezed her tight, "I can't believe they could be so cruel... I'm so sorry... I promise to protect you from people like that. I don't let anyone hurt my friends, new friends or old, I won't let them." Anna's voice was serious as she spoke, and she meant what she said wholeheartedly.

[Shuboni]

Stella's face was so red, the sudden rush of heat that hit her cheeks probably couldn't be seen. "You're... going to carry me like this?" She looked away, feeling so flustered, but complied all the same. She sat up the best she could, keeping her legs wrapped around Adrian's waist. Every movement she made, she could feel him inside of her. Bumping here and there, it made her shiver a little. "Will this work?"

Shiven gasped a little when she was hugged like that. She fought the shudder and sob that was coming very hard. It hurt so bad that tears came to the corners of her eyes. She wordlessly returned the hug, feeling the warmth coming from Anna. She couldn't help but notice the sweet smell of Anna's hair. Shiven felt rather surprised. A reaction like this, and she only talked about the kids she grew up with. Didn't mention the adults, or even her parents. But, it was nice. Shiven used it to help tamp the feelings back down. It was hard, with how everything welled up so fast. The way Anna spoke, how sincere she was, was also rather heartbreaking. "I'm fine... I promise. It... was a long time ago. Besides, I'm meeting new people now. Like you said, I have you and Adrian and Stella..." Her voice was only the slightest bit shaky. Shiven reassured herself that she had pushed the feelings back. Maybe after living with them a while, she might even be able to forget it.

[Eliza]

Adrian wrapped one arm securely around Stella's back, playfully bouncing her a little just to get her to make one of those sounds he loved so much. "Yep. I plan to, anyway, we're going to find out if it works right now." With his other hand, he braced against the wall and managed to rise to his feet, joints only protesting slightly from the awkward way of standing. He wrapped his other arm around Stella, giving her a little squeeze. "It worked~"

Even though Shiven said she was okay, Anna still didn't let her go, she held her a little tighter, reaching up with one of her hands to run her fingers through Shiven's hair. She didn't want her to feel so sad, and her purring changed, the sound lower and calmer, Anna subconsciously reacting as a mother cat would to an injured kitten. She had heard about places that hated magic, but had never been, her father was human, and he and her mother both had human friends, both gifted and nongifted, and they all got along rather well, so she knew it wasn't ever human that was like that, but the thought that any were saddened her. Finally, she loosened her grip and leaned back a little, still keeping her hands on Shiven's shoulders and looking her in the eye. "I'm here if you need me for anything, okay?"

[Shuboni]

Stella moaned when she was bounced and squeaked a little when she was picked up. "I... It did." She held tight onto Adrian, hiding her face against his neck. "Wha... What are you planning to do with me when we're in our room?"

Shiven rather enjoyed the attention, the warmth of the girl laying on top of her so intimately. The comfort did make her let go a little more than normal though. She sobbed a tiny bit, more tears collecting at the corners of her eyes. She nuzzled into Anna's shoulder for a bit before she pulled back. It was a little disappointing when she did, though. Then again, the current position was rather... Shiven blushed and looked away. "Yeah... I... Thanks... Umm... So..." She listened to the noises of the other occupants of the house. "The others sound like they're moving."

[Eliza]

Adrian smiled and nuzzled Stella's cheek as he carried her down the hall, gritting his teeth from the way she shifted with each step he took. It felt so good that he almost missed her question. "Well, You seemed pretty keen on me finishing inside of you, so I thought I would do that, but first, I plan to lay you on the bed and make meaningful, passionate love to you until you can't think anymore." As he spoke, he opened the door and walked into their room, setting her down on the edge of the bed. They had adjusted the legs to be the perfect height for doing things on the edge of the bed and he was rather grateful for it as he set her down, not having to remove himself.

Anna offered Shiven a small smile and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her thumb. "If you need to cry, never worry about doing it in front of me. My shoulders are small but strong, I'd help you carry the burden." She had heard the others moving as well, followed by the sound of a door opening and closing, meaning they were in the clear. She paused to think about what would be best, on the one hand, it might be best to get Shiven out doing something fun. On the other hand, it might be better to let her cry and cuddle some more. Anna decided that the best thing she could do was let Shiven decide, "We can do whatever you'd like. We can stay here, or we can go do something. I need some new bras, and a dress for an event I have to go to with my parents over winter break, so we could go to the mall. We can still check out the neighborhood, or that could wait for another day since you'll be moving in, we could go the park, the aquarium, wherever you'd like." It seemed like a safe idea to throw out a few ideas so Shiven didn't feel pressured, and it occurred to her that maybe Shiven would like to go as her date for the event, and she tilted her head, deciding to ask that a little later.

[Shuboni]

Stella was already to that point, no need to take her into their room over it. She was rather grateful for the privacy, however. While she didn't mind if the girls in the house saw her naked, she didn't think she would like it if Shiven saw Adrian naked. Then again, with their lifestyle, it might be unavoidable. She laid back on the bed, squirming her hips a little, looking up at him. "You do spoil me, don't you?" She smiled softly up at him, her hair splayed out on the bed under her head, arms laying at either.

Shiven shook her head after Anna wiped her tears away. "No no... I don't need to cry. I shouldn't cry, it's stupid stuff that was in the past. I left it all behind when I came here." Shiven looked at the figures in Anna's room and made a face. The figures themselves didn't bother her, she was used to her floor being littered with all kinds of creations, it was actually the eyes that got to her. Sure, her little paper figures saw with no eyes, but you didn't really notice. They also didn't need to face you to be able to 'see' you. She shook her head a little, shaking away the thought. Anna was talking about something. Going to the mall? She would love to stop by a craft store. She had a bit of extra money from not having to pay rent for a little while, and it looked like she was going to get more. Because of people like her, paper manufacturers were experimenting with the materials. She wanted to find something new. "Actually... Going to the mall would probably be fun. But you have to promise me two things. One, you'll go with me to a craft store. And two," She looked back at Anna. "If I want to see how you look in a dress, you'll try it so I can see." Hopefully Anna didn't think it was too much to ask. "We can stop by the coffee shop before, if you'd like. I wouldn't mind paying for that." She shrugged. "About the aquarium..." A weird, kind of twitchy grin came to her face. "Well... I'm sure you have a similar aversion to water but... Ehe... Water and paper don't mix well. So, neither does water and me." She grimaced. "I mean, it'd probably be cool. Just don't expect me to do any of those touch tank things. I have that phobia thingy where you can't stand the feeling of living things in water touching you. I don't know why they call it a phobia, I just don't like it. It's freaky."

[Eliza]

Adrian smiled and ran his hand along her thigh once she looked comfortable, rolling his hips a little as he let out a breath. "I do try. I want to give you the world, because I can." As much as he teased her, he loved her unconditionally and wanted to spoil her, to shower her in all of the affection she could ever want. He had a lazy smile on his face as he thrust into her again, letting out a quiet groan.

Anna wasn't buying what Shiven was selling, but didn't push it. She didn't want to pressure her or make her uncomfortable, letting go was something that had to happen naturally. She noticed how Shiven looked at all the creatures and items in her room and blushed a little, realising they were all staring at them. "I'm sorry... We're kind of connected... They're like a part of me and can tell what I'm feeling. I'm sorry they were staring." Anna shooed them away and they all went back to their favorite spots, nestling down and going back to sleep. She smiled apologetically at Shiven and tilted her head, her ears twitching slightly as an amused look crossed her face. It didn't seem like too much to ask, they both seemed like reasonable requests. "Alright. Then I have two conditions of my own, you have to help me pick out my new underclothes, and you'll let me buy you something." She planned on doing it anyway, but it would be easier if Shiven was consenting about it. "I need to go to the craft store anyway, I need some more hundred pound paper." She giggled about the aquarium, shaking her head. "That's okay. We need to go three cities over to get to one that will let me in. I might have tried to eat a sting ray. I wondered what it tasted like." She unfortunately wasn't joking. She sometimes gave in to her more animal instinct s, and they told her to eat the fish. She was hungry at the time, so it made sense to her.

[Shuboni]

Stella tilted her head a little to the side, her eyes half lidded. "It wouldn't be that hard to give me the world, you know. Not for you anyways." She smiled, feeling a little overly clever. "Because you are my world." She bit her lip as he thrusted again, her back arching slightly. "Mmm.... Yes..." She looked into his eyes, breathing a little hard.

"I'm just not used to things with eyes... My creations see still, just differently." It was odd that they were all going to sleep. Was Anna feeling tired? The counter-requests, which is the best description could think of, didn't seem all that hard. She wasn't very fond of people buying things for her, however. "Well... Okay. I'll help you pick-" But are you going to model them for me? Shiven's ear twitched as she fought to keep a straight expression, "-and I'll even let you buy me something, as much as I'd rather protest it. Wait, what are you buying me?" Hundred pound paper, Shiven never understood why it was called that. It didn't weigh a hundred pounds. It didn't feel like it was going to take a hundred pounds to fold it. It didn't even take a hundred pounds of pressure to pierce it. The thought drifted away as Anna told her story about the aquarium. Shiven furrowed her brow. "Sting ray? Aren't those poisonous or something? Or, I guess... Like sand sharks, where they pee through their skin?" Shiven had the sneaking suspicion that she was wrong. She knew stingrays had venomous barbs on their tails, but that was it. "I don't think it would be a good idea to try to eat one... Eel on the other hand..." Shiven thought about it. There were actually few fish she'd like to eat. "I prefer rabbit to all of that."

[Eliza]

Adrian laughed softly at the cheesy joke, shaking his head with a smile. "You already have me, you know. I still want to give you everything you could ever ask for, and more. I'm quite determined to do that." He leaned down to rest his arms on the bed on either side of her hips, thrusting a little harder. The encouragement from the beautiful girl on the bed just egged him on and he kept up the pace, slowly losing himself in her once more.

"The eyes don't really bother me, but I had them all go to sleep so they weren't staring. I take a lot of naps, so it's easy to get them to sleep." Anna shrugged, looking around at all of the now dozing creations around her. She liked having them around, it was comforting to be around them. "I'll of course need you to tell me how they look, too. It's hard to tell what they look like based just on mirrors, it's good to have a second opinion. As for what I'm buying you, I'm not sure yet. Whatever it is that strikes my fancy to pay for, I suppose. I'm taking you on a date, after all, so it should be up to me to pay. I'd pay for all of it if I thought you'd let me." Anna knew enough about people to be able to read them fairly well, and she could already tell that Shiven wasn't the type to let herself be given a lot of gifts, so instead of fighting it, she decided she would just go along with it. "I'm not sure. I doubt it, since I wanted to eat one. I tend to avoid things that will poison me. I just wondered how it tasted." Hearing that Shiven liked rabbit intruded her, but it made since, she was an arctic fox after all, so rabbit was a normal part of their diets.

[Shuboni]

Stella was going to say something back but couldn't remember. Something about how she already had all that she wanted, but those thoughts were lost in the torrent of pleasure that came from Adrian's movements. She held onto him tight, moaning, moving her hips in rhythm with his. "Adrian..." She moaned his name, trying to encourage him. She wanted more.

Shiven blinked. "I... Uh... Umm... You sure are determined to make me feel welcome, huh? A show in the kitchen, you climbing in my lap like this, now you're offering to show off in your underwear..." The red of her blush went all the way to her ears. She didn't really care what Anna bought her. She did dread the thought of Anna buying her a dress, because Shiven would not want to wear it but also feel bad if she told her she wouldn't. The conflict would end with her in a dress, feeling uncomfortable. "So... Umm... When should we go?" Now were some more conflicting emotions. On the one hand, leaving would mean Shiven got to see this gorgeous girl mostly naked. On the other, she was quite content to die here with this beauty lying on top of her. Well, not yet. There was plenty more she wanted to do with Anna, but was both too shy and too unfamiliar to ask.

[Eliza]

Adrian continued at the somewhat rough pace he had set as he reached between them to rub her clit with his thumb. There was something about having her finish when he was inside of her, the way the muscles tightened and her whole body quivered, he couldn't get enough of that feeling. The way she said his name only fueled the fire that was already burning and he thrusted harder, still rubbing her clit. "I know I don't say it enough, I love you..." he didn't think he ever could say it enough, even if he spent the rest of his life saying it, it could never be said enough.

Anna nodded, grinning up at Shiven with a beaming smile. "Of course. I want to make sure you'll be happy here. I don't mind people seeing me in my underwear, I wear bikinis all the time, because cat or not, I like to go swimming. My little pink bikini is a few triangles of fabric, and several straps. All of my bras and panties cover more, save one set." Anna had a lacy thong with a matching bra, though 'bra' should be used loosely, as it was see-through, and it was a demi bra that left her nipples above the cups. She had itjust in case she ever found someone she had sexual interest in, and had as of yet only worn it once when she tried it on. She noticed the blush and giggled softly, patting Shiven on the top of her head. "It sounds like they went into their room, so I just need to get changed and then I can go." A bit reluctantly, she stood up and started walking towards her closet, stripping off her shirt and jeans on the way. "You can wait there if you would like, it'll only take me a minute to get changed. I try not to go out in my painting clothes." She was turned so she was facing Shiven again as she spoke, hands on her hips and standing in just a pair of yellow and white striped panties and a yellow bra.

[Shuboni]

Stella moaned again, biting her lip and closing her eyes shut. "I love you... too... Ahhh..." Her body shuddered as he rubbed her clit. It was too much. She tightened around him, getting close to climaxing. "Adrian.." She moaned again, feeling a little overwhelmed.

"Well, that makes one of us..." The skimpiest piece of swimwear that Shiven had was a one piece bathing suit. She only owned it on the off chance that she was asked to go to the pool. She didn't really like the water, though. She was also very self conscious. "I'm not the kind of person to get naked in front of anyone. I'm pretty sure only three people in my life have seen me naked. Wait, four. My parents, my doctor, and..." She bit her lip. "One other..." Meow Zedong sauntered out of nowhere and sat down, his eyeless face pointed in Anna's direction. Shiven watched Anna as she got up and saw that she was stripping her clothes off. The blush going one shade deeper, Shiven hopped out of the bean bag. "I... we... uh... I'll let you have some privacy, then. Come on, Meow Zedong." The cat waited a moment longer before getting up and following Shiven. She shut the door after her, letting out the tiniest sigh. I could stay? Wait, did she want me to stay? God, I feel like such a moron. Shiven pulled on her ears a little, keeping a groan back. She leaned on the opposite wall and took the few moments of solitude to compose herself. Anna was going to be modeling underwear for her in just a bit, wasn't she? But wasn't that different? Or was it? Why was she suddenly uncomfortable with Anna's brazenness? "Meow Zedong... Do you have any clue?" The cat just looked up at her. This creation of hers was the second most autonomous thing she had ever created, meaning that it wasn't just an extension of herself. It was still silly to ask, however. She pulled a little notebook out of her pocket, a day planner. She held it up, it flipped to that week by itself. She read over her schedule for the next couple of days. "Okay... so... the movers said they could be here as early as tomorrow. So, I'll have to call them today before 6 PM." She made a note of it before putting her planner away.

[Eliza]

Adrian groaned low in the back of his throat, feeling the way she tightened and shuddered beneath him. IOt felt amazing and he wasn't sure how much longer he could hold back, he was determined that he would make her finish first, though. His breathing had grown heavier and slightly more erratic as he continued thrusting, he could feel how close Stella was getting and it made him thrust a little harder into her.

"I don't get naked in front of people, either. Just close to that. All the important pieces are covered, and it's just skin, after all." Anna already had an idea that the other person had hurt Shiven, which made her frown. She decided that she would need to find said person and make sure they understood that couldn't hurt people in such ways. She would never hurt anyone, but she had a sharp tongue and a habit of making people feel bad about their life choices when they made bad mistakes that should have been avoided. She was a little disappointed when Shiven left but didn't complain, thinking maybe Shiven just didn't want to be around her right then. She quickly changed into an oversized sweater and fleece leggings before pulling on her winter boots and heading out to the hallway. "I'm sorry about that... I should have given you more warning, I guess. I'm ready now."
