Dimencreas (One-Shots)

Experiment - Ruan Mei

Y/n was one of Ruan Mei's most successful creation that she became captivated with— a perfect life form that she's been conducting for years of relentless and meticulous research.

Her mind and body were the paragon of human beauty, her temperament the exact combination of every positive attribute imaginable. Ruan Mei's obsession with her creation was warranted — she was both the living embodiment of Ruan Mei's ambitions and the realization of her deepest desires.

Ruan Mei moved slowly towards Y/n, her face betraying the slightest hint of softness as she gently caressed her cheeks with her hand.

The touch was gentle yet firm, each movement deliberate and controlled, as if every detail of the gesture had been meticulously devised and planned in advance.

As brilliant and accomplished as Ruan Mei was, Y/n had one significant flaw— her total lack of affection. She was incapable of feeling empathy or forming attachments, despite her relentless efforts to do so.

She could never fully appreciate the beauty of a sunset, the warmth of a hug, or the sheer joy of a simple conversation.

For the first time in years, Ruan Mei was exhibiting a genuine display of affection. It was clear that the demonstration of her feelings was not spontaneous; she had clearly planned every single movement in advance. However, this did not make the action any less meaningful. Her expression was a genuine one, filled with a new-found softness she had never shown before.

“...Creator, what... are you doing?” Y/n asked her.

“I am displaying my affection for you, because you are a masterpiece, a product of my lifelong pursuit. And it is time for me to claim you.” Ruan Mei responded, her tone now soft and tender as her touch became more affectionate.

She leaned forward slightly, her mouth inches away from Y/n's lips.

“Do you not desire my affection?” She whispered.

“...Affection..? Forgive me, but my vocabulary in that word is rather... slim. What do you mean by that?” Y/n asked again.

“Affection.” Ruan Mei repeated slowly, her voice now more passionate as she ran her fingers through Y/n's hair.

“It is the human emotion that causes the heart to swell and the chest to tighten when close to the object of one's affection. It is the sensation that makes one's lips twitch and one's palms sweat from the mere presence or mention of the person one is fondest of.”

“It is one of the most basic emotions that humans can feel. And it is what I am trying to express to you right now.”

She then paused before continuing, “I am trying to indicate a deep fondness, warmth, and tenderness. You are aware of these emotions, correct?”

“...I don't, sorry.” Y/n replied. “Perhaps feeling a certain affection was one thing that you... failed when creating me.”

Ruan Mei could not help but frown slightly by Y/n's words. How could she not feel the simplest of human emotions? It was like she was a completely different species. Perhaps she did fail in conducting her perfect human life form?

“Do you feel nothing when I touch you?” Ruan Mei inquired, her tone remains the same as she ran her hands softly along Y/n's arms.

“Do you not feel my warmth when we are close together?”

“...I could feel your presence close to me, but other than that... nothing, if I must say.” Y/n replied.

Ruan Mei was starting to feel discouraged by the interaction, how could her creation reject her affection so bluntly? She was putting so much effort into her demonstration of affection, but it seemed like it was all to no avail.
