Chương 5: The Morning After
The sunlight breaking through the blinds of the window lit up the bedroom of the apartment. Ares grumbled sleepily as he slowly opened his eyes, raising a hand to block the light from the window, closing one of his eyes as he slowly sat up in the bed, the sheets sliding off of him and slumped onto his lap.
"One of these days you'll give me a warning before you show up…" Ares grumbled, still half asleep. He slid his legs out of the sheets and sat on the edge of the bed for a few seconds, his back covered with claw marks, deep scars, and nasty puncture marks from his past. He then slid off the bed, stretching out as he let out a long yawn, cracking his neck as he walked towards the bedroom door.
As he placed his hand on the door handle, he looked to his left, seeing his reflection in the tall mirror hanging on the wall. He saw a tall battle scared equine in dark grey sweat pants, his silver mane and tail an absolute wreck from sleep. He raised his free hand up to his mane and brushed it down, trying to get it to look less crazy. "Guess I'd better get washed up."
He opened the door and headed towards the bathroom, stopping short when he noticed something dangling off his couch. He squinted his eyes as he stared at the couch and saw…a tail? He walked into the living room, wondering who was sleeping in his dorm room. When he got closer, he saw a black dragoness curled up in a blanket, sound asleep.
Ares' ears flicked as he remembered last night. "Oh, of course. Vampirium, or rather, Vamps. She and I had a few drinks and had a pleasant conversation." He headed into the kitchen, starting up the coffee machine; "I'm sure she'll need some of this. If memory serves, she was quite out of it."
As the coffee machine was making the first cup, the scent slowly started filling the room, Vamps' ears flicking as she sniffed the air, letting out a tired moan from the delicious scent. She covered her face with the blanket, grumbling softly. "Mmnnn…Alfred…make sure my cup has 2 sugars…"
Ares chuckled softly, making his own cup. "Apologies, miss Vamps." His voice made Vamps' ears twitch, uncovering her face, which had the look of shock all over it; "But since you got my name incorrect, you'll just have to make your own."
Vamps quickly propped herself up with her hands, the blanket falling to her legs as she looked around, unsure where she was. She looked towards where she heard the voice, seeing Ares shirtless and drinking coffee. "What the hell is going on?! Where am I?! Why are you-" She suddenly covered her mouth as she felt the room spin, her head feeling like it was in a vice grip.
Ares chuckled, getting the second cup and adding 2 spoons of sugar to it, mixing it in. "Calm yourself, my dear. Your hangover will thank you." Ares walked over to the couch, resting the cup on the table in front of Vamps, then took a seat in one of the recliners.
Vamps looked at Ares angrily, then at the cup of coffee, the smell filling her nostrils making it hard for her to ignore. She slowly took the cup and sat up on the couch, blowing the coffee before taking a slow sip.
Ares looked at Vamps, seeing her hair a complete mess and smirked, sipping his coffee. "So, do you remember any of our conversation last night, or is it a giant blur?"
Vamps growled as she cut Ares a mean glare. She sipped her coffee, trying to rack her brain for any information about last night. 'Ok Vamps, think!' She thought to herself; 'You came here to talk to him, but what did we talk about?? Why was I asleep on his couch?!'
She used her bed head to her advantage to cover up her quick glances over at Ares. His torso was covered in scars, but his body was what she couldn't stop staring at. 'And why is he shirtless?! It's too fricking early to be staring at a nearly naked hot guy!'
After a few sips, Vamps cleared her throat, brushing her hair back slightly. "I remember plenty from last night, thank you very much!" She raised the cup to her lips, moving her eyes to look towards Ares; "I just…don't remember the conversation..i-is all."
Ares chuckled, raising his cup slightly towards Vamps. "Well, if you'd like, you can use the restroom to freshen up. I need to do my morning routine, so that should give you time to get ready for todays activities." He took a sip of his coffee before standing up, heading towards the kitchen, pointing his thumb towards the door in the hallway; "If you'd like, you can leave your clothing by the door, and I can wash them for you."
Vamps growled, trying to keep her temper in check. "So first you get me drunk, then you try and have me naked in your dorm?" She scoffed, resting the cup on the coffee table before slowly standing up; "To be fair, a relaxing soak does sound lovely." She headed towards the door Ares pointed out, opening it and seeing his restroom. 'Huh…not a bad setup for a non mythical .' She thought, admiring the jacuzzi.
She turned her head to look at Ares over her shoulder, her tail swaying slightly. "I'm sure you've guessed this by now, but if you try and peak, I'll rip out your eyes."
Ares looked over at Vamps, raising an eyebrow as he let out a soft chuckle. "Must you always threaten?" As she turned and walked into the restroom, Ares saw her tail swaying, lifting her dress slightly, giving him a slight glimpse of her rear. As she closed the door behind her, Ares went back to cleaning his coffee cup, his eyes going from the cup to the door, then back to the cup as he smiled and chuckled. "I truly will never understand the female species."
Inside the bathroom, Vamps slowly undressing as she got the jacuzzi ready, staring at the door as she laid her clothes in a folded pile next to it. She then dipped her tail tip into the water, checking the temperature. Once it was the correct temp, she slowly got into the water, letting out a sigh of relief as she slid down into the water.
As she began soaking in the tub, she suddenly dunked her head into the water, letting out a loud muffled scream, large bubbles erupting from the water. She then pulled her head out of the water, holding her cheeks in her hands, her face filled with panic.
Her mind raced with thoughts as she tried recalling last night. 'Dammit Vampirium, what did you do?? Why am I in his dorm room?? Why is he so casual with me??' Her eyes went wide, recalling what he said earlier about the coffee; 'Wait…he called you Vamps!! Oh Vampirium Blackscales, you lightweight!! What the hell did you do?!?'
A soft knock on the door echoed in the bathroom, making Vamps jump in shock, covering her chest and sinking slightly into the water. "Miss Vamps? I'm going to open the door a crack to retrieve your clothes."
Hearing his voice, Vamps blushed a crimson color. "Very well, but no funny business." She kept her eyes on the door as it opened slightly, her heart racing as Ares reached his hand in and collected her clothes, then closed the door back.
She sighed as she leaned back onto the inner wall of the jacuzzi, staring up at the ceiling. She closed her eyes as she tried retracing her steps. 'Ok Vamps, think. You came to his dorm. You walked in. He was in the living room, and he was…' Her wings spread open in the water as she remembered the start of it all.
Her mind was filled with the image of Ares standing in the living room, drying off his mane from just getting out of the shower. She remembered seeing his scars, and she felt her cheeks redden as she remembered that he was completely naked. She recalled every detail as her eyes opened slightly, seeing the stallion standing fully exposed, his massive cock swaying freely.
She slowly moved her hands to her belly, sliding one hand up her body up to her chest as her mind wandered. 'That damn Ares…he could have at least Tried hiding that thing when I walked in.' She unconsciously started massaging her breast, closing her eyes slowly as she leaned her head back, her other hand slowly moving down her body to her waist.
Her mind started to wonder, causing her to see Ares next to the tub. Without saying a word, he slipped into the waters with her his huge cock resting against her. As her mind wandered more, she saw Ares moving between her legs, gently moving them to each of his sides. As she envisioned this, her hand went lower on her body, sliding between her legs. She gripped her breast harder as she moved her other hand over her folds, brushing her finger across her clit, making her inhale sharply as she saw Ares press his cock tip against her pussy, a soft moan escaping her lips as he-
Her eyes opened wide as she sat up, quickly moving her hands away, breathing heavily as she realized what she was thinking. 'Are you crazy?! You are Not thinking about that! Not with him!' Her mind raced with images of Ares and her, covering her face with her hands as she shook her head. 'No no no NO!! Stop it brain! We are NOT doing this!'
Another soft knock on the door made her jump, a slight 'eep!' escaped her lips. "Miss Vamps, I regret to inform you your clothes won't be ready for about 35 minutes. If it's alright, I can lend you a spare set of clothes of mine to wear till they're ready."
"You mea-" Hearing her voice was surprisingly high from what she nearly did, she cleared her throat, trying to calm herself; "You mean to tell me I'll be stuck wearing your gaudy attire for nearly an hour??"
She heard a slight chuckle from behind the door. "Well it's either that, or you can stroll about in your birthday suit and a towel." Her mind started racing again hearing him say that, his voice so calm while saying that; "You could call it payback for the incident yesterday."
She growled loudly. "Oh, you Wish you could get me out there naked." She scoffed loud enough for him to hear; "I suppose I'll have to accept your offer for the spare clothing."
"Well then, I'll leave you to your bath. Let me know when you're ready, and I'll pass you the clothing through the door." Outside the door, Ares placed a set of clean clothing next to the door, readying himself for his morning exercise.
After a few minutes of his training, he stood in place as he clapped his hands together in front of his face, taking a slow deep breath. He then slowly lowered his hands to his chest, exhaling slowly. He than looked over to the bathroom door, seeing it cracked open, his ears twitching slightly. "Are you done, miss Vamps?" He called out.
"Indeed. Where are the clothes you mentioned?" She stood behind the door, using a towel to dry her wings and tail. As she started drying her legs, Ares' arm reached in, offering her a change of clothing. She took the clothing before closing the door back, walking over to the sink and resting the clothes on the counter top.
A few moments later, the door opened, Ares looking over to see Vamps walking out, tugging down on the shirt she was wearing. She was wearing a button up dress shirt, the top buttons straining due to her breasts, making the shirt ride up slightly to expose her midriff. She was also wearing a pair of grey dress pants that fit surprisingly well, though they were slightly too long, so she rolled the legs up to cuff them. "How is it that you're taller than me, but your shirt doesn't fit?"
Ares chuckled, pointing to his chest. "Probably because I'm less 'endowed' than you are." Vamps growled at Ares due to the comment, moving over to the couch and sitting down, crossing her legs as she rested her hands on her knees.
"So, what did we talk about exactly?" Vamps looked over towards Ares, sitting on the recliner again, deciding to just ask rather than act like she remembered.
Ares stood up as he walked over to the restroom. "I'll tell you after I've cleaned up." He walked over to his bedroom, making Vamps look towards him curiously as he walked out with a set of clothing; "And no worries about me giving you an unintended show this time." Vamps huffed, turning her head away from Ares, hearing the door close.
A few moments later, the door opened as Ares walked out of the bathroom, fully dressed. He looked towards the couch and noticed Vamps wasn't there. A feint noise in the kitchen area made his ear flick, looking over to see Vamps looking in the refrigerator, bending over to look inside curiously.
"Anything in particular you're looking for in there?" Ares walked over to the kitchen area. 'Certainly making herself at home well enough.' He thought to himself.
"Why don't you have anything good to eat?" Vamps grumbles, standing up, using the fridge door to prop herself up. She looked over at the clock, checking the time. The clock read 7:55. She looked over her shoulder towards Ares; "How much longer till my clothes are done? The sooner they're done, the sooner I can get some decent food."
"They'll be ready in about 12 more minutes. Speaking of food…" Ares went towards his bedroom, returning a few seconds later with his class schedule; "According to the schedule the teachers gave me, I'm to be heading to the 'Culinary Cuisine' class today. Though I don't see why there's a class for cooking, it's fairly straight forward."
Vamps' ears twitched, closing the door to the fridge, her tail flicking slightly as she turned to face Ares. "Wait…YOU are taking the culinary cuisine class?"
Ares was curious as to why she reacted so shocked. "That's…correct. Why do you sound so surprised?" He raised an eyebrow slightly as he asked.
Vamps clapped her hands together, her wings opening slightly. "Well then, why don't we head over there so you can make me breakfast?" She flicked her hair behind her shoulder; "And while you cook, you're going to tell me about our conversation from last night!"
Ares stared at Vamps, dumbfounded at her requests. "You can't be-" The sound of the dryer alarm cut off Ares' response.
Vamps walked over to collect her outfit, then walked over to the restroom. "I won't be taking no for an answer. After all, most men would die for a chance to make a meal for a mythical, much less a member of the Blackscales family." She then closed the door behind her, leaving Ares to rub between his eyes, letting out a sigh of exhaustion.
After Vamps changed into her dress, her and Ares left his dorm, Ares following her to the Culinary Cuisine classroom. As they walked, Ares thought of something that made him curious. "So, miss Vamps, I have a few questions. Perhaps answering them can help me understand a few things."
Vamps nodded slightly. "If you must, then ask away. I'll try to answer as best I can." Vamps lead Ares towards the Main School building.
"Well you keep mentioning 'family' names. How many families are there exactly?" Ares noticed Vamps' wings shift slightly when he asked this.
Vamps cleared her throat. "There are 5 Royal Families in the world, all of which are composed of the top mythical beasts. The bottom family is the Phoenix Family, the Emberwings. They consist of mostly Phoenixes, obviously.
Above them is the Equine family, the Equestrians. They have one main house with 2 branches, the Unicorns, Pegasi and Alicorns. The Alicorns are the main house, since they're the superior breed.
Then you have my family and our rival family, the Blackscales and the Crimsonwings. They are mostly draconian, with a few branch houses with Wyverns being the main breed."
Vamps eyes narrowed as she seemed to grit her teeth; "And then, there's the family that seemed to disappear without a trace. Their name is forbidden, and anyone, mythical or normal to speak their name, vanish as well."
Ares stared at Vamps curiously. He was about to ask something, until Vamps stopped in front of a door. Ares looked at the sign on the door. 'Culinary Cuisine'.
"We're here." Vamps stated, opening the classroom doors and turning on the lights; "Now, I would like Eggs Benedict for breakfast." She moved toward the front row seat and sat down, staring at Ares with a smug grin on her face; "Oh, and make sure the egg is perfect."
Ares' ears twitched in disbelief. Only seconds into the classroom and she's already making demands of him! Ares took a slow deep breath, undoing the cufflinks of his coat, rolling up the sleeves as he loosened his tie. "Very well, miss Vamps." The confidence in his voice made Vamps' grin fade slightly. He collected the ingredients for the dish, then smirked at her.
As Ares started making the dish, a group started heading towards the classroom, unaware of someone already being inside the classroom.
To be continued.
