It's a special day. One of those that many would call, rather vulgarly, a "shit day."
I have a lot of tasks to do on the computer for today's work, and I'm solving them one after the other. And I'm even succeeding quite well.
So, what's the problem? Why am I anxious and nervous?
Because I want to finish everything in the best way possible to wrap up a good workday. But at the same time, I have a concern, although it's not critical.
Verosika worries me. She doesn't seem to feel sick, but I'm still worried about her.
I turn my head and look towards my bed. And she's still there, sitting in the middle of the bed with her head pressed against her knees.
She's been like this for at least 3 days, but it's been gradual.
Sleeping in the same bed hasn't been so bad after all, and it's helped a lot with my back pain.
To get over the awkwardness, I just turn to the opposite side from where Verosika sleeps. So, no problem.
I can almost say that Verosika's presence even helps me sleep better than usual. Maybe it's because she's a succubus.
As for her, 3 days ago she started having less of an appetite and ate very little. Two days ago, she stopped doing anything, even playing guitar or video games, and yesterday I saw her looking very stressed, maybe worried? I'm not sure.
Today, though... she looks almost sad.
I've asked her several times how she's doing, and she tells me everything's fine, that it's just a minor thing regarding her.
And I believe her, but the facts clearly show that something's wrong. Especially since she hasn't touched food since yesterday afternoon. She only drinks water.
Another strange thing I've noticed is that in the last 2 days, she's been more... how should I say... clingy?
It's not the right term, but it really seems like her intentions, though not fully acted on, are close enough to describe her as clingy.
She seems happier than usual when I interact with her. And I've noticed that every time she gets the chance, she has to put a hand on my shoulder or even rest her head on me. She seems to like it, and I don't mind it either, but it feels very strange.
I get up from the computer and sit on the bed for a moment. She doesn't seem to notice.
« Vero? Is everything okay? »
« Yes, » she answers instantly, in a tired tone.
« I've really never seen you like this, » I've been asking her since yesterday, but I try again. « Are you feeling okay? »
« It's just something temporary. »
« So, something's wrong? »
« Never denied. »
« Headache? Nausea? Menstrual cramps? I have herbs to relieve any pain, Verosika, but I can't help you if you don't tell me what's wrong, » I try to say as calmly as possible, because I know I might sound intrusive. But I'm willing to take the risk, just like when I asked her how her life was going.
« Succubi don't have menstrual cycles, » she tells me with a laugh.
« Oh... » I'm surprised.
« You didn't know that, did you? » It's the cute attitude she has towards me that I've already sensed. But this time, she doesn't look at me or touch me, not even with a hand.
« No, I didn't know. »
« Fail! Go back to studying, » she says jokingly, still with her head pointed forward, pressed against her knees.
