Chapter 249: Goodnights

“You have eaten some of us, haven’t you?” Raya asked as she pulled her dress down. “You don’t have to answer that. What matters is that you can’t tell the others. I’m not sure how Liz or Rea would react but-”

“It was right here on Tyl.” The Paru admitted.

“The cases with our comrades frozen? Well... That’s ominous as fuck. Any reason? Please don’t say you just enjoyed the taste.”

“I’m not an animal.” Cero frowned. “It’s what...” He pointed at his throat. “Allowed me to-”

“Vocal cords? It’s what allowed you to gain the ability to talk?”

“Yeah.”

Raya rubbed her chin for a moment.

“A talking You is much more useful than frozen corpses.” She whispered. “I suppose Roka would agree on that.” Her gaze moved back to him. “You haven’t eaten any other than those? Any at all? You could understand us before we got to Tyl, so...”

“As I told you before, I was me before Tyl, and before our time in the bathrooms. It was me.” The Paru scratched his head, not sure how to explain it. “Let’s just say that I was a Paru... Mindless and all... Then one day... Bam. I was different. I could think and all.”

“That makes no sense.”

“It’s exactly what happened.”

“How would that even-”

“Divine intervention.” He interrupted with a serious and over-the-top tone.

“...”

Raya stretched her arms up and yawned after a couple of silent seconds.

The Paru got up.

“Well, all thanks to the goddess, huh?” Raya whispered as she joined his side, tilting and resting her body against his arm.

The two started walking towards the spaceship.

“Fuck you. Fuck you two.” Bak cursed as the retractable ramp was lowered to allow them entry. “I’ve been sitting here for... Fuck... Close it yourselves... I’m going to pass out.”

It was only after he walked away and got lost in the spaceship’s corridors that the two chuckled.

“You know how to close it now.” Raya whispered as she pressed a combination of buttons which made the retractable ramp start to rise, closing the entry to the spaceship.

“How about if I want to open it?” Cero asked, curiously staring at the different buttons.

“If you want to go out, huh?”

“Yeah.”

Raya smiled cheekily as she stared into his eyes.

“You’ll have to come find me then.”

...

Once the ramp was closed, both walked side by side for a bit.

Raya rubbed her hands together. She wasn’t very good with goodbyes, or goodnights.

“So, I’ll... I’ll go to my room. You’re going... To yours? Or Lith?”

“Yeah.” He nodded, whispering to himself so as not to disturb her, and left the room.

...

“How is my little bitch doing?” Cero said as he suddenly turned the light on.

“Oh... No... Please... No lights...” Rea whispered, hiding her eyes from the burning light above.

“Sorry.” The Paru pressed his lips together and turned them off. “You’re not asleep yet?”

“No... I have a headache...”

“Drunk too much?”

“Some... Would say...”

“Poor you.” Cero chuckled as he stepped closer and took a seat on her bed. “Can I do something to help my little bitch feel better?”

Rea was seated with her back against the headboard.

“No... I don’t think so...” She sighed. “I mean, we could... No, with a headache... It would just...”

The Paru stared at her for a moment, before laying a hand on her head.

“What are you-”

His hand started pushing her head down gently.

‘Seriously? He wants me to suck him off now? I just said that I had a....’

Rea’s eyes widened as her cheek reached his thigh.

“I’ll stay with you until you fall asleep.” The Paru whispered, his hand caressing her hair.

“R... Really?”

“Yeah.” Notcing her blushing, Cero felt forced to do it. “Least I can do for my little bitch.”

“...”

Rea pressed her lips together, holding the drapes tightly in her hands.

“W-Well... Your little bitch thanks you, I guess.”

“You guess, huh?”

All in all, it only took about twenty minutes for Rea to fall asleep.

Once he tried to get up, she held onto his thigh, which made him think about staying and sleeping alongside her.

A moment later though, she turned around in her sleep, letting go of his thigh.

Back in the spaceship’s corridors, there was only one place left to go to.

And Cero walked towards that place with a wide smile on his face.

“Hello...” He whispered.

Eyes Open! Sit up! Turn!

“Uwo!”
