The Pop Star and the Violinist

Just a feeling

Verosika woke up stretching her wings while looking down to see Rivan's and Kiki's sleeping face. She smiled as she bent down to kiss him gently on his lips, and Kiki's. She looked out the window of their new apartment in Lust. She watched the various neon signs and bustling city down below until she sighed loudly. She closed her eyes contemplating on everything that's happened up until now, and soon started to question herself on some things. Her tail waved behind her, and hummed Rivan's initial melody when she first met him.

"Is that creative block I'm sensing?" asked Kiki leaning against the hallway in her sleepwear until Verosika looked back at her.

Kiki's eyes widen noticing some confusion and doubts, "Or perhaps something else?"

"Kiki, you once said I was in love with Rivan. Why?" asked Verosika.

Giggle "That's not really a question. You are in love with him. Slowly but surely, little by little, you're opening up more and more to him," smiled Kiki sitting next to Verosika.

"But why am I falling in love with him? I was also in love with my limp dick ex too, but why am I falling in love with Rivan? Is it because he helped me? Because he was the closest rebound after I broke up with my ex? Is it because I know he's safe?" questioned Verosika looking out the window again.

"Safe?" asked Kiki confusingly.

"My ex was adventurous, spontaneous, rough, loud, obnoxious,  a real..."

"Wild card?" finished Kiki predicting exactly what she was going to say, getting Verosika's attention.

"I know the type very well unfortunately," said Kiki.

"Rivan isn't any of that. He's sweet, kind, gentle, considerate, amazing, talented, and just..."

"Trustworthy?" smiled Kiki once again getting Verosika's attention, "You're worried that you only like Riv cause he's the complete opposite of your ex."

"Yeah," sighed Verosika.

"Hmm, Finally confronting that doubt that's been gnawing at the back of your head," sighed Kiki.

"That obvious?" asked Verosika lying down on the couch resting her head on her lap.

"A little. Can't hide your lust from another succubus Vee, remember?" giggled Kiki gently stroking Verosika's hair.

"I'm scared Kiki," whimpered Verosika still feeling conflicted, "I don't wanna hurt him. He's been-"

"Heartbroken, yeah I know," interrupted Kiki shocking Verosika, "It's there, I sense it from time to time whenever he thinks of us. His lust rises, and I know you can sense it too, but then it quickly goes away as if-"

"He's reliving a heartbreaking experience," finished Verosika remembering how she felt when her ex stole her car, "A wound that never fully healed."

"Poetic way of saying it, but yes," sighed Kiki, "Riv gave his heart out, and whoever this bitch was stomped on it good and hard. So much that-"

"Riv is hesitant to let anyone get to close to his heart for real," said Verosika looking up at the ceiling, "I...I don't wanna hurt him like that. I want him to be happy, but what if-"

Giggle "Now here comes the questions," interrupted Kiki making Verosika look up at her, "I went through all this myself remember? I know what you're gonna say. What if he doesn't love me like that? What if he likes someone else? What if I accidentally hurt him without realizing it? And so on, and so on. A million questions running through your head, and not a single right answer to any one of them raising more questions than answers. No one ever said being in love was easy. Especially for us," said Kiki in a calm tone.
