After doing many things maintaining my territory, we decided to log-off and make dinner. It was already getting quite late. I wanted to cuddle more with Mark in bed to be honest, but he had to go back home soon too.
"How about we order sushi to eat with your daughter and her friends?" Wondered Mark. "I'll order it if you don't mind."
"Oh, that sound great. I wasn't feeling like cooking after doing all of that…" I sighed. "It wasn't my real body but it does leaves me mentally exhausted."
"I can understand, haha." Mark laughed, gently caressing my head. "You've gone through a lot lately, so just take it easy for now. I wish I could stay tonight too, but I haven't gone back home on a while… I'm worried my house could get assaulted or something."
"I-I see, makes sense." I giggled. "Though… W-Well, I was wondering if maybe… Ah, never mind."
"Hm?" Mark raised an eyebrow. "Oh, were you thinking about living together?"
"H-How did you guessed so quickly?!" I was shocked.
"It is often obvious the moment I look you into your eyes. Sometimes you are so adorable, you hesitate a lot to say the most simplest of things. Don't worry too much, I was considering the same but… If I asked it myself, I might have sounded a bit weird, right?" He wondered, scratching his chin.
"O-Of course not! It's totally normal… I-I mean, we're in a relationship and all!" I said while crossing my arms. "It's totally, totally fine!"
"I see." He giggled. "But still, let's take a bit of time. I would also need to assess my own stuff, and see if it can even fit in here. Also you've gotta consider your daughter's feelings, and also think if I could become an annoyance if I am here all the time. Like… Wouldn't you get tired of seeing my dumb face all the time?"
"I-I would never!" I said while getting slightly angry. "Would you get tired of seeing my face all the time?"
"Of course not…" Mark said, blushing a bit.
"Then?" I wondered.
"I-I… Well, I am just… a bit shy about it." He sighed.
We've had sex multiple times but he's shier about living together. He's sure a handful, but that also makes him much cuter. He's really a gentle giant, he looks big and a bit dull, but deep down he's such a sweetheart that is always a bit too considerate about everything.
"Well, I guess you're right… Let's take it easy then!" I smiled. "Wherever you're ready."
I guess I should be more gentle about it, and more considerate myself. I am the one used to live with a partner because I was once married. But Mark's on his first ever relationship, so he lacks the experience that comes from having previous ones, making him quite nervous about the whole ordeal.
As he said, we should do things one step at a time… Although we jumped straight to the sex a bit too early, but we're responsible adults so it's fine.
"Let's do it one step at a time." I said, gently holding his hand. "Sorry for being a bit pushy there…"
"T-Thanks…" Mark blushed. "And it's fine, I can understand your reasoning behind it. I-It actually makes me really happy that you love me to the extent of wanting to live with me…"
"Aww, my cute bear~" I giggled, hugging him.
We got closer and closer until we started kissing lovingly over the bed, cuddling together. Then, he started gently grasping my butt down there, measuring its size with his big hands. One of the things he loved the most was touching my cheeks; it was definitely his kink…
"Huh? Do you have some business down there that you're checking that so much~?" I teased him with a sexy smile.
"I was just wondering, do you happen to have a license to carry such a big cake, ma'am?" He joked around.
"Hahaha! You dummy!" I laughed, giving him a gentle karate chop in the head.
"I was just being honest." He laughed. "Ah, the Sushi's about to get here. Call your daughter and her friends so we can enjoy the meal together, I ordered a bit too much."
"Alright~" I nodded, as I walked to my daughter's room and called the girls, they quickly disconnected.
Monica seemed much more… I don't know, brighter? Her pale skin was now of a much healthier color after playing BNLO a lot, and her eyes were once more with the light they had lost.
"You guys ordered sushi?" My daughter wondered.
Looks like she had already woken up from her little nap after having awakened and ended logging in with everyone else.
"Oh, is it from the Golden Sushi Restaurant?" Wondered Elisa. "That's the only acceptable sushi I would eat…"
"…Yeah, it's those." I said, lying because I didn't know which one Mark ordered anyways.
"Come on Elisa don't be so bratty, eat whatever is offered to you." Said Anna. "It's bad manners to say those things!"
"E-Eh?! I always have the best manners out of all of us, who are you tell me what good or bad manners are?!" Elisa protested.
"Steiner's been outside guarding the house, should I invite him?" I asked Elisa.
"Oh? S-Sure! Why is he out there with this cold? He's such an idiot sometimes…" Elisa facepalmed.
"Monica, you good?" I wondered. "Did you had fun?"
"A-Ah, yes…" Monica nodded, giving me a faint smile. "I-It was fun to play that game… I could had never afforded to buy it, so I never knew there was such a beautiful world inside. I-I'm thankful for everyone's help…"
"Come on, lessen some of your humility there, no need to be so shy about speaking out loud." Anna patted her shoulders.
"She made herself a rather unique avatar." My daughter said.
"Honestly I don't know why she choose that one." Elisa shrugged.
"I-I don't know either, it just felt like it was right. I didn't felt any strange motion control issues like other players that play that race experienced either…" Monica said.
"Huh? Which Race did she choose?" I wondered.
"Ghost…" Elena answered. "Her Class's Nightmare Mage."
Are you serious?!
Did one of the Gods lured her to choose those options because it fits her real body's talents?
Oh well… Monica's powers are still a mystery; I'll have to watch over her carefully.
