Private Finished When Live Drink's Too Much

Live quickly shook her head, "Nah. No way am I going to class this hungover, without food and a smoke first."

She sat at the table and began to eat. Some bacon and potatoes first then into some fruit. Then some more bacon. Lots more bacon. And anything else with grease. "I use to run...I got in a fight with someone on the track though so then...not allowed to run out there anymore."

Live continued to dig through the pile of food, shoving everything that caught her eye down her throat. She probably should have slowed down a bit but she really loved the food Kaya had in the Shadow Realm.

Finally, she tore herself away from eating to talk to her friend, "I can get up there in speed in my shadow form in the middle of the night. But that isn't really running and there is a very specific time window for that."

"But, uh, last night. I really...don't remember exactly." She paused for a moment, taking another bite of bacon before returning her attention to Kaya, "I went out to drink with a couple people from school. Got super drunk and then...oh yeah..." She let out a heavy sigh, "This guy came up and started hitting on me. I don't remember what he said exactly...something about how my face had something sexual written all over it. Either way, I ended up throwing something at him. Or maybe I hit him. Not sure."

Live shrugged and shoved more bacon in her mouth, "I go out to get drunk. Not to have random assholes trying to figure out what my sexual preferences are. I mean, after all, I have Loveless to make out with so, yeah." Live went back to munching on some potatoes, a bit oblivious that this was the first she had informed Kaya about her new boy toy.

@Kaya

As water came flying out of Kaya's mouth, Live realized that she may have forgotten to mention Loveless to her friend and felt her face begin to burn red. Especially when Kaya began to probe Live for more information. She stopped her eating and leaned back in her chair, scratching her head a bit before crossing her arms and letting out a sigh.

"He's uh, this guy I met at a party. He's a demon guy. Lust demon, actually but he's uh, not what I expected. I mean..." Oh, geez what did she mean? Live had only met Loveless just over a week or so ago and her head was still reeling with what exactly was going on. He was like a vortex that she could feel herself being sucked into and was helpless to pull herself out of.

She let out a heavy sigh, "We aren't dating. But... I don't know. I can't tell if he just likes me cause he's a lust demon and likes everything or if there is actually something there. Normally when I'm interested in someone it's just like, 'Oh hey, you're hot and I'm lonely so let's just be a thing until one of us can't stand the other one anymore.' But, the way I feel around him..." Live's face was really red now, "I feel like I'm caught in something I might never want out of, and that scares the hell out of me."

Most of Live's waking hours and even sleeping hours had been spent thinking about Loveless. He was a stranger. Someone she just happened to run into. So how come she felt like he was a magnet and she was a piece of solid iron. She prided herself in being independent. In not feeling like she really relied on anyone. But then again, she was also sitting in a room with the first person she had ever been able to call her best friend who saved her from death and gave her the best job in the world.

She groaned and dropped her head, her hands coming up to rub her face. She really hated emotions sometimes.

@Kaya

Live's head shot up at the word love.

"Oh no. No. I never said the word 'love'. Let's make something perfectly clear before this conversation goes any further. I do not love this guy. Yes, I admit I am extremely attracted to him but love isn't something I even really feel for myself so there is no way on Earth and no way in Hell that I feel that way about some piece of eye candy I met just a week ago. Give me a break! I'm not that kind of girl." She said a bit too forcefully.

What Kaya said about did get Live's wheels turning though. She often forgot that Kaya was a lust demon herself and she especially forgot that she a way to attract people to her. Live's eyes narrowed in thought.

"Well, I'd assume that your ability doesn't have much of an effect on me due to the nature of my being. I'm a spirit guide created for the realm you originate from. After all, you said many species but not all species. I'm guessing Shadow Walker's aren't one of them. But..." She paused dramatically, her eyes twinkling a bit, "I wouldn't be surprised if other lust demons pheromones could still affect me."

Live stood from the table and went to give her friend a hug, "You always know what to say." She said as she clung to her friend for a moment, "Thanks for breakfast but I gotta go see Loveless. Now that I think I know what is going on, maybe I will actually be dating him next time you see me. If so, I will definitely bring him by the shop sometime."

Live shook her head, "You can just send me to the shop so I can grab my the rest of my stuff. Loveless doesn't live far from here."

The past week had sent Live's head spinning as she had tried to grasp what was going on with her and Loveless. Thanks to Kaya though, she finally had something to center herself on. She wasn't exactly sure how the conversation with Loveless would go but either way, it would give her some kind of clarity on their relationship.

She gave another quick hug to Kaya, which felt a bit out of character but she wanted to make sure her friend understood how much she appreciated her, and how out of character that was for Live in general. Affection and gratitude were shining in Live's eyes as she pulled away from Kaya with a smirk, the closest thing to a smile she was really capable of.

"I'll see you tomorrow for work and I'll let you know what happens."

And with that she waited for her friend's response, the portal to open and then she was off. She grabbed her purse and took off for Loveless' place. She was going to miss school but she didn't really care. She had bigger fish to fry.
