Cherreads

Chapter 3 - Chapter 3

Persius takes a Zoomer to Mythic Academy and once he's there, he's looking up at these castle walls and thinking "wow it's been so long since I've been here but it looks the same as always." He goes to the dean's office in that familiar hallways of dark blue and brown wood and knocks.

Persius: Hello…Dean?

There are faint groans for a moment and then they stop and furniture is moved around abruptly. The door clicks open and he sees the dean at her desk, poised with another teacher or staff member beside her. She's a 5'7" voluptuous succubus, with sunkissed brown skin, long black hair pinned up in a neat updo, and warm chocolate brown eyes. Both look poised but everything seems okay.

Persius: Ummm Dean, is this a bad time?

Natasia: Not at all, please come in Persius.

Persius comes in: Hello to you both! 

Niya: -she looks him up and down and her eyes widen slightly- Oh my, Persius? I didn't even recognize you dear, it's been so long.

Persius: Pr-professor Kaur? Is that you? Damn you got fine! What happened? You look so different! *Persius shuts his mouth abruptly* Oh fuck I'm so sorry!

Natasia: *laughs hard* Hahah this is Professor Kaur yes. But you are in terms an adult, just be respectful alright? *giggles and looks at Niya and smiles at her* She does look fine though.

Persius: Oh…*his eyes widen* Oooooo oh yes yes of course Professor Kaur, I do apologize for the remarks to your uh visage. It's lovely to see you again. 

Niya: -she chuckles quietly- I take no offense dear. It's lovely to have you back again. -she looks back at Natasia- I'll give you two some privacy, call for me if you need anything else Dean Haile. -she lets her succubus tail subtly trail up Natasia's leg before leaving. She smiles at Persie again and gives a small bow of her head as she passes him-

Persius: *smiles awkwardly* Of course, Professor. See you around.

Natasia: *looks at Niya* Of course Professor Kaur, we can continue our discussion after. *waits for Niya to leave* Now then, how were your travels, Persius?

Persius: Well it was wonderful, I learned a lot honestly. Like so much so, that I wish to extend if applicable. The goddess actually thought it best to add some new destinations to my travels and I agree. I believe I am ready now and I want to learn more from other cultures but also learn more as a diplomat. *from a young shy boy to a bit more even-spoken man, Persius is confident in his speech but waits for Natasia's reply*

Natasia: Oh? And what are these new destinations?

Persius: Well…Istrelar, Dzular, and Infernal Isles if it's alright. 

Natasia: Very well…I will start the paperwork at once. I see you saw the Goddess first, I was worried initially when I didn't see you after your plane touched down. I have a lovely flat for you to stay in while you wait.

Persius: Actually, the goddess has given me a guest room at the Ivory Sanctuary while I stay here for the summer. She thought it might be appropriate to also attend diplomatic duties while I am here as well to learn Resosian politics. 

Natasia: -she looks up at him- …She's given you a room at the Sanctuary? I..see. How interesting.

Persius: I-is that okay to do? It didn't seem like there were any ulterior motives. If you want me to move my stuff I can, but I wouldn't know for sure how to explain it to her. *he searches Natasia's face for any signs of resistance or obstinacy but finds none but curiosity and relaxes a bit* Anyway, I have all my paperwork and filings of all my research for cultural studies here. *hands her the binder and it's quite large*

Natasia: -she takes the binder and sets it down, looking down at it impressed but she keeps her face as neutral as possible- You may stay there if you wish…Just do be careful. Thank you for your work, I'll look it over thoroughly. You may go and enjoy your time home as you wish.

Persius smiles and gets up, nods respectively, almost wanting to dart to his best friend's room immediately when he comes running back to say: Thanks dean, for everything. *leaves to try and get a carriage to head to the dorms as soon as possible, making his way up to Ajii's dorm and knocking on his door in a funny rhythm, his best friend pulls it open annoyed but smiles hard and hugs him hard*

Aiji: Oh shit! You're back! -he gives him a big squeeze- Dude it's been forever! When did you finally get back?

Persius: *hugs him as Ajii brings him into his dorm and they both plop on the couch* Oh man, this place still looks the same after I left. I got back today! I wanted to surprise you, hehe did it work?

Aiji: Heh it definitely worked. Tell me what's been goin' on man, you barely ever return my texts and we never get to stay on the phone long.

Persius: Oh it's just been a lot I barely had enough time to even be in the places they had me at. I would see your messages and want to reply but then my caretaker would say I had a meeting to go to and boom off I go. I learned a lot from being in Baehalan, going around and such. *he sits looking at his thumbs* It's almost too much to explain but…*he proceeds to explain all he's done, between meeting the pharaohs to going to diplomatic meetings with the seven kings and then heading to Luxuria where some of the most beautiful people lived* And yeah…it's a fun time but…I did miss home. Hahah I just don't miss how cold it gets here.

Aiji: That sounds so awesome though. Haha, makes me becoming a professor sound so boring. Where are you staying now that you're back? Is your hotel close? We could find some time to hang out.

Persius: Actually I'm staying at the Ivory Sanctuary, the ummm…goddess said I could stay there and had a room arranged for me already. Although I did feel bad since the dean gave me a whole apartment. She is a generous goddess though. But other than that, yeah dude we can totally chill.

Aiji: -he stares at him for a moment before he starts to smirk- Wait wait wait…you…have a room at the actual Ivory Sanctuary? One of the most coveted places to stay in, in the whole world? Just..because?

Persius: I guess…I didn't think it was so much a big deal. I mean she has a son that's there and his best friend also stays there I think so it's not like there's no one there. Plus my room is pretty big and comfy. I was just happy to lay down somewhere, that flight is brutal.

Aiji: Pffft…how far into the Sanctuary is it? 'Cuz normal guests stay closer to the front.

Persius: Ummmm I think it's a little in the front…I think. I went in from the throne room and it was to the left of the entrance and I went down a few halls but it seemed like a guest room, it was more blank but comfy. So it's probably where guests stay. *he hits his arm playfully* Don't fuck with me haha I just got here man! You seeing anyone?

Aiji: -he laughs- Nah nah nah before we even begin to get into that I'm not done with the room situation. My guy, she's gonna steal you. Normal people don't get to stay in the Sanctuary like that. And she just let you around her kids? So glad you jumped from being a diplomat to concubine in just a few hours~ hahahaha~!

Persius: Bitch I ain't no fuckin' concubine. And technically not a diplomat either, that comes with getting certified and licensing which I'll be working on so HA! But steal me? The fuck you talking about? You and the dean are on something. She was worried too, about nothing. She hasn't even touched me, didn't make any remarks at all. And her son just popped out of the ceiling because he's experiencing mana bursts so it was by accident. So stop being weird!

Aiji: -he laughs louder and leans on him- Sure sure~ whatever you say~.

Persius puts his arm around him and puts his head on his in a friendly way: It's good to see you…also you got pretty tall and I'm glad you didn't turn out ugly haha. I don't have any ugly friends and how am I supposed to introduce any incubi to you if you look like footy mcfootperson hahaha. But yeah you look good and look like you've been eating at least! So…you seeing someone? What's he look like? Still into femboys?

Aiji: -he gets a little quiet and looks away from him- Okay okay the gay jokes stopped being funny a long time ago..you know I'm not. Besides…I'm engaged…to a woman..

Persius gets quiet and looks at him slowly: …what?

Aiji: I'm engaged…happened a few months ago….my..parents arranged it.

Persius: Not only are you engaged…you are engaged to a woman…and it's arranged? *he sits back, taking it all in* Oof..that's a lot to think about Jee…that's a whole lot to process. Well you know I'm here for you, do you like her? Is she cute? You get along?

Aiji: Yeah…I've met her a few times, Stephanie's a nice girl.

Persius: Her name is Stephanie? You got a picture? Y'all have shit in common? Not the "oh _____'s a nice person" shit like that's how I know they are just here…you don't like them. Why'd you agree anyway? You are only 17 years old. It's early as fuck. 

Aiji: You know how my parents are…They said she's a good match. She's the only person I liked out of all the girls they had me meet. -he pulls out his phone and shows him a picture- She's cute.

Persius looks over at the phone: Hmmmm I mean she's not ugly, she's cute yes but she's not necessarily your type. She's very….I guess plain-looking…average. Like I'm not trying to demean her at all, she's just not your type. You've always liked people with some sort of "wow" to them, you know. But I don't know, I know it's been three years…it's a long time…maybe your taste has changed. Either way, let's go have some fun!

Aiji: Yes please! I'm sick of studying. I need to get oooout! There's a new club that opened up not too long ago you might like. It's a cool demon club, heh you should feel right at home.

Persius: hahah demons are actually fun as shit to be around so hell yeah. Wanna grab a bite before we go? *he's already getting up to put his shoes back on*

Aiji: -he gets up- Yeah I'm starving. Wanna hit up the diner? It's still around and still just as good.

Persius: Oh fuck awesome! I love that diner, hell yeah let's go. We can take a zoomer there. 

Aiji: Sure, dinner's on me tonight. To celebrate my best friend's return! -he puts his arm around his shoulder and leads him out to enjoy their night together-

Persius: *smiles and stops to really hug and embrace his friend* It's good to see you, my friend. *stops and then runs out the dorm* Still slow as fuck though.

Aiji: Oh you're still a fucking cheater! -he laughs and runs after him-

Persius: *jumps out the door and lands at the bottom of the stairs* Yeah yeah says the sore loser. *puts his hands in his pocket and takes out his phone to get the zoomer* I got the zoomer though, since you're paying for food! Heh!

Aiji: -he comes down the stairs too fast and grabs onto him laughing, almost taking them both to the floor- Yeah it's the least you can do for cheating.

Persius: Holy shit! You almost took us both out ahha and whatever bitch boy whatever! *they both joke with each other as they wait about 5 minutes for the zoomer and then they both hop in and say they are going to Saint's diner* Oh to taste that delicious, greasy food is about to be epic.

They spend the rest of the ride chatting more about their experiences and life while they've been apart. The diner is exactly as Persius remembered it, even the owner Thomas still had that same smile. It was decently busy but it wasn't loud, thankfully there was room for them to grab a booth by the window. They ordered all of their old favorites and continue to catch up with each other. Thomas even gave them a milkshake on the house to happily welcome Persius back home. After their meal they headed over to the new club that Aiji told him about. Even from the outside he could tell it was bumping. They joked around some more and made small talk with the other party goers as they waited in line to get in. Inside was deep reds and blacks with loud bass bumping in all the speakers, the whole club was full of beautiful demons, especially succubi and incubi, a few ants, and some mages scattered around. They grinned at each other and made their way to the dance floor, happily dancing the night away, thoroughly enjoying being around each other again just like old times.

Persius trying to speak over the loud bass: This is amazing! It reminds me of my time in Baehalan woohoo!! *sees a few pretty succubi and incubi staring at them* Ohhh bro, look over there, they staring hard, should we go say hi? *Persie winking at him* It's been a while for me heh. 

Aiji: -he looks over at the group, his eyes lingering on the incubi, and bites his lip as he smirks- Saying hi couldn't hurt~...it's not like I'm married yet.

Persius: Yeah! *puts his arm around him and goes over to the demon group* ~hellloooo, my friend and I wanted to come say hi and also wanted to know if you like to have some drinks or dance? *Persius' smile is infectious as it dazzles both succubi and incubi with his also handsome mage friend standing tall and giving a charismatic grin*

Aiji: -he winks at one of the incubi really staring at him- Good company should have some good drinks~.

The group swoons just a bit more and makes room for them to sit with them. Persius sits between a beautiful succubus and incubus, while Aiji sits between two gorgeous incubi.

A bartender comes over: What are you having?

Persius: I'll have a rum and coke and whatever they want, it's on me. *he puts a hand on both the succubus and incubus thighs with the incubus putting his arm around him and the succubus putting her legs on top of his and giggling* I just came back to town from Baehalan and my friend here thought it would be nice to bring me here to a beautiful place with some beautiful people.

Lyra: -she moves closer to him- Well I think we can give you a fun…welcome home~.

Aiji: -he smirks at Persius- Enjoy yourself Persie. The rest of the night can be on me.

Sable: -he leans on Aiji and traces his finger down his chest- I like a man who can take care of things~.

Persius: *looks at Lyra* I like a nice fun time, I think I can handle you both heh. *looks at the incubus beside him and cups his cheek and kisses him hard and then kisses Lyra* It's been a long time, I hope y'all can go for a while.

Bartender comes over and puts down the drinks and smirks and leaves. Such energetic young people.

Aiji: -he laughs at Persie- Show off~.

Persius: Shush and occupy yourself. *he picks up the drink and sips on it* I hope you two don't have anything to do later. *Lyra is actively putting her hands in his shirt and tracing them up his chest while the incubi, Aeson was putting his hands down his back to grip his butt* So handsy you two, me like hehe.

He sees Ajii getting kissed on his neck being felt up from the front and back by two incubi as one is already wanting to unzip him. He smirks and realizes he's never seen his best friend in that light and looks away because it's still a bit awkward.

Persius: Don't you two want to finish your drink?

Aeson: How about we finish our drinks…at your place, handsome?

Persius looks at Ajii: is that doable, my friend? *he doesn't want to encroach on his space so if he needs to get a hotel for the night, he will*

Aiji: -he stops making out with the incubus in front of him- Hm? Yeah we can head to my place. Your room is still good.

Persius: Awesome. Well come on, let's go! *he calls for a service and he feels this interesting feeling in his groin, as if he already has a rock hard dick but he usually is better about it* Mmmm I'm so ready. *he hears a voice, it's familiar but feels so distant "Have fun, young man, the doors are open for you whenever." He looks around but the voice vanishes and he doesn't pay it any more mind, downing his drink and leaving the money for the drinks on the table.

They both leave with their new "friends" and get into the XL-Zoomer and they both start making out with their friends. They make out with them and get home and proceed to have fun all night long.
