Stranger.

..."Christian, Christian, Christian! Dudeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" My brother screams frantically from my doorway, his voice a combination of drunken glee and intoxication, my duvet unable to conceal his begging....

..."Megumi, get out of here. I have to get some rest!" I sharply retort. Megumi has always been the life of the group, in the sense that he is the physical embodiment of a party: boisterous, lively, colorful, and thrilling. He's always had an enticing aura about him, capturing the hearts of many innocent, gullible girls who part their legs like Moses did the sea. Exceptional brother....

...Outstanding pal. Outstanding sportsperson. He is their boyfriend for the whole four days....

..."Oh, and could you please turn down the volume on your music...too it's loud." I leap to my feet, grab a cushion, and wrap it around my ears, meeting the fuzzy gaze of my stumbling older brother....

...Sibling. He walks away with a smile and a grin, closing my door and restoring the room's relative quiet. The only indication he was there was the lingering odor of alcohol....

...Resisting the music, I bury myself in my duvet, its warmth embracing my body - the only thing hugging my body at all these days, sadly. My heavy eyes are at odds with my rumbling bladder. I swing back and forth between sleep-heaven and batting my way to the bathroom, waging a quiet fight in my head about whether I should keep it in or whether I should get up. I slip out of my blanket and make my way to the en suite, sacrificing my warmth....

...I take off my pyjama bottoms, pull down my jocks, target, and enjoy the sweet feeling of urination. People say alcohol and sex are both fine, but what about pissing?...

...My eyes scan over my reflection in the mirror as I yawn and begin my nighttime routine. My hazel bed hair is in desperate need of attention. I finish my nighttime routine by hopping under the boiling stream of the shower head, cleaning my body of the day's tension and grime....

...As soon as I get out of the tub, I dry off and change into my nightgown, primed and ready for a good night's sleep. I roll into my covers after lifting my duvet and wrapping myself in the cool side of the room. My arms slowly trail over my soft cotton duvets as I starfish. My hand collides with something or something, my eyes pop open, and my sense of security is broken....

..."Get out of my bed, Megumi! Go to your room!" I shove his muscular shoulder, and he lets out a soft groan. Is that a groan? I raise the blanket to expose a body; it's the body of a stranger. SHITT...

...My gaze is paid down the smooth back of the complete stranger, who has a light wash of sparse white hairs, sharp shoulder blades, and sturdy arms. I softly poke his back with my finger, eliciting another groan until his gentle snores come to a halt....

...I decide to take a different approach and shake his arm instead, which turns out to be a terrible idea.As I plummet to the floor, his body twists, grabbing my wrist and yanking me over him....

..."Aghhhhhh! My hip takes the brunt of the force, and the thud sounds as heavy as it feels. My glare is met by green orbs as it travels towards the bed, hypnotizing me. As he props himself up on his forearm to familiarize himself with his surroundings, his eyelashes flutter in bewilderment....
