"Vill-V..."
"Hey, are you listening?"
"Hey!"
"Snap out of it!"
Vill-V gasped as she lifted her head up and looked around. She trembled a bit and flinched as the girl in front of her was snapping her fingers to get her attention
"You okay?" The girl asked
"A-ah...uhm...y-yeah. Sorry Esmee" Vill-V said
"Heh...were you thinking about your girlfriend?" Esmee asked and Vill-V blushed deeply
"She is not my girlfriend" Vill-V said
"You sure you're not dating?" Esmee asked
"I already told you she is just a friend" Vill-V said
"Yeah and a Dom who ended up giving you that collar" Esmee said pointing at her neck
"Just because I'm wearing this collar doesn't mean we're dating. This is only to tell other Doms to not come near me" Vill-V said
"True but it also tells them that you're taken by someone else. Collars have an important meaning for a Dom and Sub" Esmee said
"Look. This collar is just...a contract...I guess. It doesn't mean anything. Besides it's just a friend who is very caring. She insisted in becoming my Dom" Vill-V said
"Well if you say so. Anyways...what am I going to do!?" Esmee exclaimed
"Just be honest with her. She is going to end up finding out about you cheating" Vill-V said
"I really didn't mean to do that but...it's just...well it's not that I don't like her but my needs as a Dom aren't being fulfilled" Esmee said
"What do you mean?" Vill-V asked
"It's not just about giving commands. A play between a Sub and Dom need to satisfy both of them. They both have their needs and if they aren't being satisfied then it's an issue. The reason some aren't satisfied is because they either want something more extreme or something soft. In other words, people either want a hardcore rough play or people might want a soft gentle play. It depends on the person if they're really masochistic. I feel like I want someone who enjoys pain and have my way with them" Esmee said
"Are all Doms like that?" Vill-V asked
"No. Gentle Doms exist out there but it's normal for Doms to want to dominate someone and be in control. I know you're new to all this so you still have a lot to learn right?" Esmee said
"You're right. Honestly I was scared at first because I saw Subs as slaves who just want to follow commands. But thanks to a friend of mine she's been teaching me about how Subs really are which isn't so bad" Vill-V said
"Oh the one who gave you the collar. Do you still plan on moving out? I feel like you're totally fine being with that friend of yours" Esmee said and took a sip of her drink
"I can't stay with her. Besides...I may not be...good enough for her" Vill-V said
"Mmm...well...if you want then why not move in with me?" Esmee said
"What?" Vill-V asked
"Once I end things with my girlfriend then I can invite you in. We both can pay the rent and hopefully be able to get out of that shitty part time job and do what we enjoy. I plan on getting into college soon. Maybe..." Esmee said
"Oh...well...I mean I uh...don't know yet. It's just that I'm a Sub and...I really don't think-"
"You can always head over to those places to find yourself a partner for one night" Esmee said
"I really...don't think I'd like to be with other Doms" Vill-V said
"Then it won't be possible for you to live on your own without satisfying your needs as a Sub" Esmee said
"Then do me a favor and help-"
"Hey! Move it!" A man exclaimed pushing the smaller woman to the floor
"A-ah sorry..." The woman said as she tried to get up. Vill-V looked at the woman before getting up from her seat
"Vill-V?" Esmee asked
"I'll be right back" Vill-V said as she went to help out the woman. The woman picked herself up and rubbed her neck before feeling someone grabbing her
"Hm?" She asked
"H-hey uhm...you okay?" Vill-V asked
"Oh hey Vill-V" She said
"It's...Klein right?" Vill-V asked
"You remember me?" Klein asked
"Yeah I do. You were always tagging along with this one other girl who was with Aponia. Ah what was her name?" Vill-V asked
"Mobius" Klein said
"Yeah! Her! She-woah hey you're bleeding" Vill-V said
"Ah...I told her to not bite me too hard. I thought the bleeding stopped" Klein said as she covered her neck
"I'll help you clean that up" Vill-V said as she grabbed Klein and took her to the bathroom. Klein followed her into the bathroom and they went to the sink to clean the blood off
"You...sure have a lot of marks. Doesn't it hurt?" Vill-V asked
"It's fine. Mobius takes care of me right after doing stuff like this" Klein said
"Huh? You're still together?" Vill-V asked
"Mhm. Turns out I was her fated pair" Klein said
"Fated pair? How? You were a normal like me as well right? Did you...turn into a Sub?" Vill-V asked
"Yeah" Klein said
"It happened to you too?" Vill-V asked
"Hm? Did you turn out to be a Sub?" Klein asked
"Y-yeah that happened to me. It was a couple of weeks ago" Vill-V said
"So you're with Aponia?" Klein asked
"Wh-what? No no no. W-we aren't together or anything like that" Vill-V said
"You two aren't dating? But weren't you close in high school?" Klein asked
"We're just friends" Vill-V said
"...but you have feelings for her right?" Klein asked. Vill-V looked at her for a moment before leaning against the wall
"...kinda" Vill-V said
"You should accept those feelings and give it a try. I heard from Mobius that the two of you live together" Klein said
"It's only temporary. I'll be moving out soon" Vill-V said
"Is that what you really want?" Klein asked
"Of course. Aponia is only being like this because she is very caring as a-"
"So you're fine with her being with someone else?" Klein asked
"Why wouldn't I be? She'll be happy and seeing her happy is what-"
"And you? Will you be happy with that?" Klein asked interrupting her again. Vill-V stopped as she looked at Klein with a confused expression
"...anyways looks like the bleeding has stopped so you should be fine" Vill-V said
"I'm only trying to help because you'll end up regretting it" Klein said
"Y-yeah yeah. I understand. I should step out. My friend is waiting for me" Vill-V said
"...does that mean you can imagine Aponia with someone else other than you? Doing things like kissing and touching each other?" Klein asked
"...please quit it" Vill-V said
"You'll most likely regret it in the end. Aponia's eyes won't be on you anymore and she might forget you since she'll have to focus more on her partner. There won't be any room for you in her life anymore. You won't mean anything to her anymore" Klein said. Vill-V trembled feeling a tight feeling in her chest
Stop...
"I'm only letting you know because I heard from Mobius that Aponia was hanging out with this guy the other day during her lunch break. I think she said something about her giving him her number. She seemed to be having fu-agh!" Klein exclaimed as she got hit directly in her stomach and fell clenching her stomach. Vill-V flinched feeling her head throb and grabbed her head
"H-haah...a-ah o-oh! Oh fuck! S-sorry! Klein, are you okay?!" Vill-V asked worriedly
"M-mgh...u-ugh..y-yeah haa I-I...I'm fine" Klein groaned in pain
Did she have to hit me on that spot?
"I-I don't know what got into me u-uhm...let's get-"
THROB!
"Hehehe...Vill-V...I'm waiting for my turn. Switch with me..."
"Hurgh! Mm!" Vill-V covered her mouth as she rushed over to the toilet before coughing. She panted heavily and tried to keep her body from shaking too much
Calm down! Calm down! Calm down!
"B-breathe...c-calm down...b-breathe" Vill-V said trying to calm her breathing
"Huh...so that's what Mobius meant..." Klein mumbled softly before getting up. She winced in pain and walked up to Vill-V
"Let's get you some water" Klein said and flinched as Vill-V's body leaned backwards
"Hey!" Klein said as she caught her in time and held her
"Hey...are you alright? Vill-V?" Klein asked as she shook her
Ah great...now she's unconscious
"What should I do now? Should I call for help?" Klein asked but thankfully the unconscious woman woke up
"Ugh...hm? Huh?" The Expert asked as she blinked and sat up rubbing her head
"Oh you're finally waking up" Klein said
"...what did you do?" The Expert asked looking at Klein
"I'm not sure what I did but...sorry if I caused any problems" Klein said
"It's fine. Vill-V usually does this when she wants to hide...it's been a while though" The Expert said and got up before wincing in pain
...you're not going to get a chance to take over.
"You sure you're feeling well?" Klein asked
"Yes. I'm fine. I think I need water" The Expert said. After getting out of the bathroom, The Expert felt something odd as she noticed someone at the table but only saw the back of their head
...she's here already?
"Hey Vill-V. Your girlfriend is here" Esmee said
"Girlfri-" The Expert paused as she met up with Aponia's eyes. A shock went through her body and she instantly looked away
It affects me too? Well...I guess it's because this is Vill-V's body so of course it'll affect the others. But I didn't think it would be this strong...
"It's nice to see you again, Klein. What were you two doing?" Aponia asked
"Vill-V was helping me with something" Klein said
"Y-yeah..." The Expert said
"Okay. Now that you're here we'll be going now" Aponia said standing up
"Huh?" The Expert asked
"We're going home" Aponia said
"O-oh uhm...okay. I'll see you tomorrow, Esmee" The Expert said
"See ya and have fun with your girlfriend" Esmee said
"She's not my girlfriend" The Expert said and felt Aponia grab her arm. Aponia walked away with her dragging her outside of the bar. The Expert blushed a bit and pulled her hand away feeling her heart beating rapidly
"You don't have to drag me" The Expert said rubbing her wrist
"Oh sorry...did I hurt you?" Aponia asked
"I'm fine" The Expert said
"So...did something happen?" Aponia asked
"What do you mean?" The Expert asked averting her eyes
"Vill-V usually switches when she wants to hide...so something must've happened right?" Aponia said
"It's nothing serious. You can ask her about it when she comes back. Don't worry she just needed some space to think. She'll most likely be back by tomorrow morning. Anyways let's go home. I'm feeling tired..." The Expert said walking ahead
"And...why are you avoiding my eyes?" Aponia asked making The Expert tense up
"I don't know what you're talking about" The Expert said
"Look at me" Aponia ordered. The Expert felt a shock go through her body making her turn to look at Aponia
Th-this...feeling...
"H-hey I don't-"
"Come" Aponia said holding her hand out and The Expert walked up to her holding her hand
"Ah!" The Expert gasped as Aponia pulled her into a hug
"Do you not like me?" Aponia asked
"I-it's not...th-that" The Expert said trembling a little
"You're shaking. Why?" Aponia asked whispering directly into her ear
"Ngh!" The Expert gripped onto Aponia and started breathing heavily
"Shhhh calm down" Aponia whispered softly. The Expert felt a shiver down her spine as Aponia slowly slid her hand down her back
"St-stop that..." The Expert said and Aponia grabbed her chin locking eyes with her
"A-aponia...hold o-mm!" Aponia leaned in kissing her softly and shoved her tongue inside. The Expert's eyes widened and felt herself getting wet soaking her panties
I-it's a simple kiss...s-so why am I l-like this?
"Ha! St-stop! Y-you can't...n-not here...pl-please..." The Expert said wearing a flustered expression
"This is my first time seeing you make this kind of expression. You're usually wearing a serious expression. I'd like to see more" Aponia said. The Expert blushed hard and looked down feeling nervous
Wh-why am I acting like this?

On the next day, the woman was resting in bed until she woke up.
"Haa!" Vill-V gasped sitting up straight on the bed. She panted heavily and covered her face. She groaned softly and winced in pain feeling her butt throbbing. Her head throbbed and started getting glimpses of short memories going through her mind
"H-huh? That...wh-what...was that? Who's...memory?" Vill-V asked
It's not mine...I guess it was the others...
Vill-V tried to step out of the bed but her legs were trembling and she fell back on the bed
"Oh..." Vill-V said
Knock Knock
"Vill-V?" Aponia asked as she stepped inside the room
"A-ah...hey Aponia" Vill-V said
"How are you feeling? Did I go too rough on you last night?" Aponia asked
"Uhh...well I feel fine. I mean it hurts a little but it's alright. I'm kind of used to it but I need help to go to the bathroom" Vill-V said and Aponia walked up to her
"I'll help. Lift your arms" Aponia said
"Wh-what?" Vill-V asked and flinched at Aponia's touch on her body. Her body burned up at the slight touch and held onto Aponia
"Don't squirm around or I'll drop you" Aponia said
"Y-you can't pick me up! I-I'm heavy!" Vill-V said and shut her eyes as Aponia lifted her up
"Relax" Aponia said and took her to the bathroom. After getting washed up, Vill-V was in bed once again so her body could recover
"You could've seriously hurt yourself, you know?" Vill-V asked and Aponia kissed her forehead
"You weren't heavy at all. Now eat your breakfast" Aponia said
"Yeah okay. Thanks" Vill-V said and Aponia sat next to her
"...so aren't you going to tell me what happened last night?" Aponia asked
"Huh?" Vill-V asked
"You ended up switching and you only do it when you want to hide from something. What made you want to hide?" Aponia asked
"O-oh..." Vill-V said and looked down
...can't believe I let Klein's words affect me like that. How hard did I fall for Aponia...?
"Vill-V..." Aponia said as she reached out to touch her hair. Vill-V blushed a little feeling her hand and Aponia lifted her chin to make her look at her
"What happened?" Aponia asked and Vill-V clenched the bed covers
"It's...nothing" Vill-V said as her eyes looked away. Aponia sighed and stood up from the bed
"...fine. You don't have to tell me" Aponia said
"D-don't think it's because I don't tru-"
"It's fine. I understand you don't want to talk about it. Besides I need to get going" Aponia said
"A-are you going somewhere?" Vill-V asked
"Yes. I'll be back though. If you need anything just call me" Aponia said going to the drawer
"Where are you going? Is it about your work?" Vill-V asked
"No. Oh and they changed my work hours. I've been assigned to work the nightshift at the hospital. I'll discuss that more with you later once I get home" Aponia said and pulled out a cuff that had quite a long chain
"H-huh? What's the handcuff for?" Vill-V asked and Aponia walked back to her
"A leg cuff. Now I need you to listen carefully" Aponia said
"H-hold on. What do you plan on doing?" Vill-V asked and Aponia attached the leg cuff to her ankle and got the other side on bed post
"If you take this off when I come back. It's over between us" Aponia said
"H-huh? What do you mean? A-as in our contract will be o-over? I won't be your Sub anymore?" Vill-V asked
"You could say that. Here's the key to this. I'll leave it here" Aponia said setting it aside on the nightstand
"B-but our friendship w-will still be the same right? We'll...still be friends?" Vill-V asked
"No. You'll mean nothing to me if you disobey. There will be no connection between us anymore once I remove this collar of yours. So...just follow my one simple rule okay? Don't. Take. It. Off" Aponia said and caressed her neck softly. Vill-V felt her heart throb at her words and gulped
"Y-you don't mean that right? O-oh is this...some sort of play? O-or a test? Is that what th-this is?" Vill-V asked and Aponia patted her head before walking to the door
"A-aponia! Wait! Th-this is some test right? Y-you don't mean that right? You wouldn't leave me that easily right?" Vill-V asked with a slight panic in her voice
"Be a good girl for me. I'll reward you if you listen" Aponia said, giving her a sweet smile before closing the door. Vill-V was stunned for a good while as she remained in the bed with an aching heart. She didn't know how much time went by but her mind was filled with several questions. A couple of minutes passed by and she touched her neck feeling the collar
"Th-this is a test right? J-just to see i-if I obey. Right? Th-this is some sort of play. Y-yeah...a Dom and Sub thing. Sh-she wouldn't leave me right? I'm not...replaceable...right? A-aponia..." Vill-V mumbled and her vision started to blur up. She pressed her lips together and grabbed her head
"Wh-why...am I scared of her leaving me? I-I was...going to leave so sh-she wouldn't be tied down to me. So she would stop caring for me and find someone else. This...is my chance to end things so she could live her life. But...wh-why am I s-so upset about this? A-ah...it hurts...." Vill-V mumbled as more tears started rolling down her cheeks
...her words...really hurt me...it...really hurts. Can Aponia really...leave me...that easy? She can toss me aside just...like that?
"What are you so upset about now? You said it yourself you were going to leave her...right?" A voice spoke and Vill-V looked in front of her seeing the other girl smiling at her
"A-ah..." Vill-V said
"You always talked about moving away. So take it off and go on with your life. Go and leave. Leave the only person who has ever shown interest in you" Evil Vill-V said and Vill-V lowered her head
"You know...you're lucky to have someone like Aponia to care for you. She could've done better and chosen herself at least someone who isn't as pathetic as you. So consider yourself lucky to have bumped into her" Evil Vill-V said
"B-be quiet..." Vill-V said glaring at her with teary eyes
"Why not let me take the driver's seat for a change? I want...to see her too. Just like the others. Why am I the one who can't be with her? You don't trust me?" Evil Vill-V asked and tilted her head
"Q-quiet..." Vill-V said and felt a throb in her head
"Come on...answer me. Why can't I see her? What's wrong with me? Hm? There has to be a reason why...ah...now I know...." Evil Vill-V said with a grin
"...please...shut up..." Vill-V said
"You're actually obsessed eh? You just don't want to admit it. Hahaha! You do realize you can't escape those feelings since I feel those mixed negative emotions of yours" Evil Vill-V said
"SHUT UP!" Vill-V exclaimed and jumped hearing her phone ring. She panted heavily and grabbed it seeing who it was. Vill-V looked at her ankle and turned to the key beside her on the nightstand
...Aponia...is better off without me...
"Hey Esmee" Vill-V said answering the call
"Hi Vill-V. Did you have fun with your girlfriend?" Esmee asked
"Please quit calling her my girlfriend. I already said several times that we aren't dating. Besides she's just a Dom who is using me just like I'm using her" Vill-V said
"Yeah yeah" Esmee said
"Anyways I was about to call you about that offer of yours" Vill-V said
"What offer?" Esmee asked
"Moving in together. I promise that I won't make a big mess and keep the place clean. It'll be temporary. Once I get my life together then I'll find my own place and move out when I'm ready" Vill-V said
"Oh...well uhm...about that" Esmee said
"What? Did you finally reconcile with your girlfriend?" Vill-V asked
"No. I already broke up with her last night" Esmee said
"Then that means I can stay at your place" Vill-V said
"Listen Vill-V maybe it's best if you stay with your girlfri-uhm...friend. I just really don't get why you want to move out. I feel like you two are doing just fine" Esmee said
"Why won't you let me stay with you? Did you get a new partner already?" Vill-V asked
"No but I do value my life and I don't want to die" Esmee said
"What are you talking about?" Vill-V asked
"Oh please quit acting like you don't know. It's obvious that your friend Aponia likes you. I saw everything last night" Esmee said
"Huh? Did she tell you about it?" Vill-V asked
"No but as a Dom I can tell when Doms love someone" Esmee said
"Come on. Just let me stay over for at least three months. I'll make sure to figure something out" Vill-V said
"Nope. I'm not going to end up on the news like other Doms. There's been several crimes committed by Doms who go crazy and kill other Doms" Esmee said
"What does that have to do with what we're talking about?" Vill-V asked
"Aponia may seem like a...uhm...well a nice decent person but I can assure you...she would definitely kill someone if they got close to you. It's the look in her eyes that makes it obvious..." Esmee said
"Huh? What's this nonsense you're talking about? She wouldn't do anything like that. She has a kind heart and she enjoys helping others" Vill-V said
"I'm not saying your girlfriend is some murder...it's just...well some Doms can end up letting their instincts take over. That goes for Subs too since some have killed either themselves or others because of their Dom. Just look at the news, Vill-V. Oh and the reason why I called you was because the boss said he'll mail you your last paycheck" Esmee said
"Last paycheck? What are-"
"Esmee! Get back to work" A voice was heard in the background
"Ah! Sorry! Bye Vill-V!" Esmee said and hanged up
"Hey, what do you mean by my last paycheck?" Vill-V asked but the call already ended. She looked at her phone with a confused expression not understanding what was happening
"Wh-when did I quit?" Vill-V asked
