Chapter 7: Black and Golden (2)
I searched the entire campus for Desdemona and began to lose hope until I heard music playing in one of the out of order buildings. I walked toward the building and walked inside. This used to be the old gym. I noticed Desdemona sitting on the stage. I walked over to her and she looked at me, setting down her sketchbook.
"Ace..." She said.
I stood in front of her then held her hands. She looked down at me and stared into my eyes. I let go of her hand then got onto the stage and sat beside her. She took a puff out of her vape pen and sat in a way where one foot was on the stage and the other still hung off the stage.
"Why did you come here?" She asked and looked down at the floor, holding her vape pen in her hand.
"I wanted to find you and see if you're okay." I said.
"You don't have to force it anymore. Not even your friends know who I am, I'll only hold you back. You're popular, I'm not. Everyone knows that if you hang around me, I'll only drop your reputation." Desdemona said.
I looked at Desdemona and pulled her closer to me then wrapped my arm around her shoulder. "I will gladly let my reputation fall and if it falls then it's my fault, not yours. You shouldn't blame yourself too much."
"Why? It's my fault most things happen." Desdemona said and leaned against me.
"I can't really speak for that outside of school, but I can speak for you here and I can confidently say that most things that do happen to you, isn't your fault." I said. "I will fight for you. I don't mind fighting for someone I care about. If I didn't care, I wouldn't be here comforting you."
Desdemona stayed quiet and placed the vape in my mouth. She watched as I inhaled then exhaled the smoke from my nose. She smiled and lowered the vape then took a puff out of it. "How do you do it?"
"Do what? Blow the smoke out of my nose? It's pretty easy, so-"
"No not that...I mean how are you able to make me smile and happy without trying..?" Desdemona asked and looked up at me.
I shrugged as I even didn't know. I was just being myself. "I don't know, but I'm glad I can make you feel that way..~"
I stayed with Desdemona and hung out with here for a few hours. Within those hours, I learned a lot about her such as she works as a tattoo artist, she really likes to play video games, she's really into ecchi and "I can't believe this isn't hentai" anime, and that she's the youngest one in her household as her sister was 24 and even showed me a picture of her. Her name was Riley Black.
We read manga and she taught me to draw in her artstyle and we watched a few anime together. She was really into Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt and honest I couldn't blame her.
The bell rang for the lunch period. I invited her to eat lunch with me and she agreed to. We headed to cafeteria and waited in line. We were talking about the stuff we watched together and the games played on our phone.
After we got our food, we prepared to go out to the courtyard together. As we made out way to the exit, Tony walked by and smacked our lunches on the ground and dabbed up his friends afterwards. I looked at our lunches on the ground then looked back at Tony then noticed Scott was with them.
Desdemona grabbed my sleeve and I looked at her. "Let's just go...I wasn't that hungry anyways."
Tony looked back at me and smirked. He turned around and got his lunch with his friends. Desdemona dragged me out of the cafeteria by my sleeve and we headed out to the courtyard. We sat down and Desdemona put her head down. Her stomach growled and she groaned softly.
I looked at her then my arm began to burn slightly.
"Survive." The voice said to me.
I looked ahead and noticed a woman staring at us from across the table. I recognized her as she was a girl from my Psychology Class. Her name is Quinn Avery. She was the smartest in that class and seemed to know the ins and outs of a human mind. She's 20 years old and works as a bartender at a nearby bar downtown.
I watched as she stood up and my immediate reaction was to be on the defensive and protect Desdemona.
She walked closer to us and sighed. "Calm down, Golden. I'm not here to pick your brain this time. I noticed what happened and it seems your friend there seems to be hungry. She can have my lunch."
Let's get one thing clear. Quinn is a total fiend for me. I've known her since my senior year and I've always noticed her have her eyes on me. She doesn't just like me, she's in love with me. Now that wouldn't be a bad thing if she wasn't so into bending and breaking the human mind. She's a tad bit manipulative, protective, she tried to rid Nicole from my circle and worst of all, the reason she's in love with me is so bizarre. She's in love with me because I helped her by showing her where a classroom was. If that alone doesn't tell you about her character then I don't know what will.
Desdemona looked at Quinn then looked at me. She looked at the plate of food then thanked Quinn and began to eat.
Quinn squinted at me and grabbed my hand then looked at it. "I can tell you're hurting...your arm is burning isn't it?"
"The hell..? No it isn't." I answered, looking at Quinn.
"Then why is your arm so hot? Feels like an oven." Quinn said and looked at me.
"I-"
"You're nervous. I can tell. You're...wary of me." Quinn said and looked into my eyes.
Desdemona began to grow a bit uncomfortable. "Uhm...hey. You're kinda creeping me out. I appreciate the food, but you're acting really weird."
Quinn looked at Desdemona and smiled. She let go of my arm. "I'm sorry, I guess I'm doing a bit too much huh?"
"Yeah, and then I smacked the fuck out of their trays onto the ground. They know not to mess with Saint's Best Athlete, Tony." Tony boasted as some of the football cheerleaders gushed over him as if he was the coolest guy ever.
Desdemona and I looked at Tony as he and his posse walked down the courtyard. Tony noticed us and Quinn then decided to walk over to us.
"Yo Avery, why are you hanging out with these chumps? Come hang out with us." Tony said and smirked at me.
"No. First off, ONLY Ace can call me Avery and two they aren't chumps. There's nothing you can do to take me away from Ace...even if you blackmail me and I suggest not doing that because that's the one thing that will get you in danger with me." Quinn said and looked at Tony.
Tony felt slightly uncomfortable when Quinn shot a soul gripping stare at Tony. Tony scoffed and walked off. "Whatever."
The bell rang and the lunch period was over. We all got up to head to our next class, well everyone except me and Desdemona. She dragged me back to her secret spot that not even the professors know about. We went into the office so she could charge her phone so we could keep watching stuff together. I sat in the chair and turned on the light.
"So how long have you been in this hideout?" I asked.
"Since the first term started. I needed somewhere to be alone and that's how I found this building. Literally no one comes in here since the front doors were locked. We can only enter through the windows and the windows are so dusty that even light doesn't shine through them so no one can know if the lights are on or not." Desdemona said.
"Huh." I said then felt Desdemona place her hands on my arms. I looked up at Desdemona and she looked at me.
"That also means no one can figure out what's done in here..." She said then smiled.
"Survive." The voice said once again then my arm started burning a bit.
"Some women can get really dangerous..." The words of the Goddess echoed in my head.
Because of the type of woman Desdemona is, she's not immune to a few traits of a yandere. Because I'm the only one who talks to her and shows her any form of affection, she's becoming obsessed and I can tell she was extremely jealous of Quinn.
"Desdemona." I said then held her arms. She looked at me, blushing.
This was my desire and I am the only one who can fulfill it. I wanted Desdemona and I think I finally understand the true meaning of what the Goddess meant by "survive". It's not about the guys who want to hurt me, or about the type of women. It's about what the women become when around me. They become obsessive, extremely clingy, possessive. The effects take longer depending on the woman and her traits.
The Goddess gave me Sex Empowerment because the only way to quell that side of them is to please them sexually because not only do I make them have strong feelings for them, but my presence also can cause their hormones to become wild. It doesn't explain the marking though, I still don't know what this marking can do. Luckily the women doesn't become fully yandere unless that's their personality aka Quinn. They keep their original personality and only add some yandere traits to themselves which is mainly obsession, possessive, and clingy.
I looked at Desdemona then smiled at her. I stood up and held her hips. "I want to tell you something.."
Because I lust for women, the women I make my targets will also unconditionally lust for me. This allows me to create my own harem of women. I know my true Ultimate Desire, not only will I become stronger just by having sex with women, but I can start using my abilities. I will make them mine.
"I want to make you mine.." I said then sat her on the desk.
"You do..?~" She asked and looked into my eyes.
"I do..~ You can be like Nicole, the happiest woman if you stay with me. I'll do whatever you want just as long as you fulfill my desires as well.." I said.
"I'll fulfill your want and needs...I just want to be with My Ace..~" Desdemona smiled.
I smiled at her then stroked her hair. "I still want to know you better, and I can feel you slightly shaking. I don't think you're ready for it right now."
Desdemona nodded and calmed down a bit. She held my shoulders and smiled at me. "Can we go out...no scratch that. I want you to come over to my house Friday after your came. I'm sure my sister and her friend should still be awake by then."
"Alright I'll stop by after my game." I nodded.
Desdemona smiled and hugged me. "You're the only person on campus who's this nice to me..~"
"You deserve the kindness. If no one else will show you the respect and affection you deserve, then I'll be here to give it." I said.
Desdemona let out a soft chuckle and blushed. "Okay..~"
We spent the rest of the school day in the secret spot until I had to go to practice. My mission wasn't done yet with Desdemona but I knew I'd have to give it a few days before I could actually focus on making her completely mine. I could also ask the Goddess more about what I can do and what I need to do since I only figured out a piece of the puzzle.
