Board Thread:What Would You Do?/@comment-35738644-20200118031908/@comment-32347114-20200124123225

I shudder in fear at the Ogre freeing me from my restraints- hell, if this were before, I'd be perfectly fine with Mina freeing me-but this was the same person who nearly broke my ribs, dammit- and her friends were doing the same! And now here I am, hiding my face in fear-until Mina gives me a brief pet. "Hey, Char-you...okay?" "....." However, the dark elf was pissed beyond belief. "WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?! HE'S RIGHT THERE, DOMINATE HIM AND MAKE HIM YOUR BITCH-" "SHUT THE HELL UP, JANICE!" Janice quickly backed off, but her anger grew as a manticore, minotaur and high orc joined her. "You're weak, Mina- that boy's about as good as a bundle of sticks and deserves either to be milked or the lash!" Mina sets me aside, and gives her former "friends" a death glare as she sets me down.

"You want him? Over my fucking dead body."

Two of her friends, a hellhound and an Ushi-Oni, surprisingly took her side over this.

'"And ours. We've got your back, Mina."

The terrible trio gave a racuous fit of laughter, noting that the duo was outnumbered 4-3. "Oh, it's on!" The minotaur was very eager to take on Mina, who grabbed her by the horns and threw her into the line of fire from the manticore's spikes. She was out like a light, twitching from the resultant pleasure. ".....Were you really that dumb-" SMACK Mina was interrupted by a taste of the lash, as the hellhound quickly took on the manticore- the high orc was pretty much outclassed from being bound by ushi-oni silk, not to mention the species' high tolerance to pain and regenerative capabilities, leaving only Mina and Janice to duke it out.

Unfortunately, Janice soon took the upper hand through technique- Mina was laying on the ground, struggling to get up. "Game over! He's mine!" Mina could only struggle to get up, and I was frightened out of my mind-until I saw the look in her eyes, an unspoken apology. "....Mina." Mina's face turned to surprise. "Mina, get up-y-you're tougher than this, aren't you? Do it for me, at least-" I get interrupted by a whip to the face. "Quiet, you!" Janice was about to strike me with the lash once more....

But it never came. And Janice soon felt an extremely strong grip on her whipping arm.

"I said it before, and I'll say it again....you can take him over my dead body." With that, Mina threw Janice at the wall, and knocked her out. The ushi oni binds down all four with silk, dusting her hands and scoffing. Mina carried me out into the light, and held me up. ...."Hey, are you okay? You're not horribly messed up, are you?" I look away. "....Look, uh...I'm sorry. I really am. All that stuff I did wasn't a proper way to show affection. I don't expect you to take me on a date anytime soon, but.... can we....at least for now, try to start over?" ".....I'll think about it."

It was a rough several months, but after some marked improvement, and much of her old self returning, I decided to give her a chance-with the express words that if she tried anything funny, i'd shut her out. Mina accepted the prospect, and we went on a date.

It....went very well, surprisingly. Mina was rather quiet, a harsh contrast to her previous self, but gradually opened up to be much more emotional- and when I thought she had a choke hold on me, i nearly flipped out only to see she was crying into my shoulder. "Thank you...a thousand times over...thank you...."

I return the hug, and smile. Guess by some sheer stroke of stupid luck, things worked out.
