Mau5in' Around

Chapter 16

She could still feel the pulse throbbing in the back of her skull. She thought she was going to go deaf… and that feeling. Those bloody chemicals…

She had splashed cold water all over her face. The water was dripping down her nose and eyelashes into the sink that she was leaning over in the small, crowded bathroom. 

Shuddering, clinching.

The first night of their tour was pretty decent. However, her body was reacting badly to the stress she had put herself under. Not only was it fighting the side affects to Mau5’s drug, but also she was physically exhausted from so much dancing. She had come into the bathroom, thinking she was going to be sick to her stomach. To some of her relief, she did not throw up. But she still felt like she needed to.

“Raven? Are you going to be okay in there~?” Squeaked Dead Mau5 from behind the closed door.

“Hang on a bloody second..” Raven mumbled as loud as she could. She tipped her head back and took in deep breaths, waiting for any sign of nausea to hit her again… …. … It did not come.

“Yeah, I think I’m fine now.” Raven opened the door and Mau5 stood directly in front of it, fidgeting. 

“You sure?” He asked.

“Yes…” Raven said, slightly scowling. She was getting a little annoyed with Mau5’s constant worrying. It was a bit too much to bear.

“My mix is still giving you bad side effects, eh?”

Raven’s eyes fluttered a bit, trying to not stare at his face. “A bit.”

“What’s wrong now?”

“Nothing!” Raven hissed.

But that wasn’t true. Even though she felt the nausea first, Mau5’s other effect in the chemical was stirring around in her system. She felt…. Wot was the word for it? Angsty? 

Mau5 observed her expression. He observed the feelings she was fighting. “Raven…. Are you..”

“No.”

“I didn’t even ask anything yet.” Mau5 said. His tone sounded like a mix between annoyance and eagerness. 

“Wot, then?” Raven said, looking down at the floor and leaning against the doorframe.

“Are the chemicals making you feel horny again?”

Raven’s nose wrinkled up. “Don’t say that word, it sounds weird coming from you.”

“Horny?” Mau5 asked casually.

Raven looked back up at him, glaring. “Yes, Mau5. That word.”

“Well, are you though?” He asked. The eagerness was more obvious now.

“Just a bit, yes…” Raven mumbled.

“Well~ I can-“

“No, no.” Raven immediately said. “It will pass.”

She wasn’t use to the feeling of being horny being an uncontrollable thirst. Usually it was a feeling that she knew was there, but it was easy to just ignore. This was different. The chemicals in Mau5’s mix triggered her brain to make her think she needed to satisfy this thirst.

“You sure you don’t want-“

“YES, I’m sure, Mau5.” Raven said, clinching her jaw.

Mau5 fell silent, but remained next to her.

Raven looked up, feeling a bit irritated even more with his presents still looming over. “Wot?”

“Well, Raven… if you’re sure… I’ll let you rest. We have a while before we head back out on the road and start the next show.”
