Water Droplets (KaiStal f.f)

Ch. 8

Not a single part of my dream can be remembered even though my eyes have just began to be born to light again. I heave a sigh, not wanting to wake up to go to school.

Someone's arm slightly moves around my body.

Wait, this isn't my room...

My voice decapitates itself as it starts letting a scream that startles the person next to me awake. This person isn't doing anything wrong, but I yeet myself off the bed as if they did.

"Who are y—" I yell but my eyes start focusing on the sleepy figure in bed. He starts off a bit blurry, almost blind to my eyes, but then his image finally makes itself fully known to me.

Oh, right, I'm in a game.

Guilt surges throughout my body seeing him just rub his eyes because the sunlight is so bright for his pupils. My forgetful brain decides to trick me into thinking that I'm in the actual world instead of this one, which wakes Kai up pretty much immediately.

"Was that you, love?"

I guiltily chuckle, trying to stand up correctly but my feet slip on the blanket. Maybe I just slipped because I heard him call me as a lover, not my name.

"I still have to give you your punishment."

I look up at his smirking face, scared to life with what he had planned. My ears begin to burn like a stove even though I'm scared. Scared that he's going to make me kiss him or anything of the sort.

I scoot back on my butt so I don't have to trip over more things if I walk or even stand; eventually, though, I'll just hit the couch and it'll be a dead end. But I can't just run out of here with this type of hair that's all over the place.

Kai swings his legs over the side of the bed and sets his chin on his hands.

"Hmm... let's see. If I kiss you, you're just going to hate me forever but if I ask you to kiss me, you won't do it. What should we do about this?"

Wait, so he's giving me options for this punishment? Man, this kid's hilarious.

"Let's just not do a punishment at all." I groan, letting my head fall to the ground. Surprisingly, my head doesn't even hurt a bit. It's like a doctor gave me some anesthesia to numb my brain because I study too much.

"That's not how my punishments work, dear. I'm afraid that if you talk back again, I'm going to have to make these punishments worse." He says.

I thought that this is innocent mode? Or is it just a laid back smut mode?

"Aish...!" I pull my head back up and glare at him. Right when our eyes meet, Kai flashes a wink.

"Hun, it's not what you're even thinking. I'm talking about a cheek kiss not one of those full out steamy ones." He laughs, letting his body slide against the bed to eventually fall onto the floor.

ㄱ_ㄱ BOI.

He grabs my shoulders like a python catching prey and then leans in close to my lips but still a bit far away. As always, my weak personality just lets him use me like how my classmates tease me because of my smart brains. His lips quickly brush my cheek, which technically doesn't count as a kiss at all.

"This is what you joined this game for; to be loved. And I will make sure you get all of it from me and no one else." He, with a serious tone in his voice, whispers into my ear.
