Board Thread:What Would You Do?/@comment-34263048-20200111220630/@comment-36359477-20200117232252

I remember at work I overheard both Lin and Mei when someone asked them if they fancied anyone from the company, My name came up at one point and both flustered Mamono adamantly denied that they had any feelings for me, which to be fair didn’t really bother me as dating a co-worker in my opinion was not a good idea. So yesterday when they first started calling me their boyfriend my reaction was at first confusion then annoyance. Confusion about their sudden change in attitude then when I saw Lin’s sleazebag harasser and Mei’s parents was followed by annoyance at the fact that I felt like I was being used.

Now they’ve giving each other the jealous glare, its almost like they’ve started believing their own lies and I’ve been doing what I can to distance myself from them. Its about the afternoon when I’m finally able to slip away for some quite time alone and soon enough I’m having a pint at the ships bar.

“You Lin’s boyfriend?” a voice suddenly asks, I turn to see Lin’s harasser.

“I guess you could say that, what of it?” I say returning to my beer, not really interested in what he had to say.

Suddenly he grabs collar force me to look back at him “Your breaking up with her or you’ll regret it.” he threatens. At this point I’ve readied a shock spell to use as a taser but before I can so much as warn him to back off Lin shows up.

“Your becoming a real thorn in my side...” she growls as she grabs him by the collar and pulls him off me with little effort “... leave me and my boyfriend alone, or else.” At the last part she extends and shows her razor sharp claw with her free paw which glint menacingly.

The sleaze soon gets the hint  and legs it like there was a Hellhound after him. “Are you Okay, sweetie?” she asks, seemingly worried.

“Can you drop the caring girlfriend act already?” I ask growing more annoyed.

At this point Mei walks into the bar quickly followed by her parents “Hey Corvy...” she says flirtingly as she saunters up to me before seeing Lin with her claws out and the few sparks arcing between my finger from the dissipating shock spell “What’s going on?” she asks nervously

Mei farther raises an eyebrow as her mother starts gushing on about how her daughter’s going to marry and loads of kids with a powerful mage. This of course lead to arguing between Lin and Mei while Mei’s father is giving me dirty looks thinking that I’m two timing his daughter. At this point I’ve gone from annoyance to full blown anger “Would all just SHUT UP!” at this point room falls silent and everyone looking at me with shocked expressions.

“I’m no one’s boyfriend! Not Lin’s! Not Mei! No one’s! You two made it clear at work that you had no interest in me and are only doing so now so you could use me as a shield! So drop the damned act!” both of them look away with looks of guilt on their faces as Mei parents watch on seemingly confused.

“I was only waiting until I came into heat, I was going to ask on a date just before then, If I didn’t have feelings for you I likely would of gone into heat and pounced on that sleaze the moment her showed interest. I’ll come to heat later on tonight I might add, I can already feel it starting to kick in.” Lin explains blushing beet red.

“I just wanted to make my fortune first, on my own, I didn’t to be any further of a burden on Mother and Father.” Mei looks sheepishly at her parents for a moment. “I guess I’ve always been too proud to ask for help. Once I have enough of a cash flow going I intend on taking you as my husband, you’d never have to work another day.” Mei rambles seeming half way between a sales pitch and a day dream.

“So all of yesterday and this morning wasn’t an act then?” I ask.

“No babe, we were... are being genuine, I know it may seem an act, given what we said at work but Mamono would never mess around with a male’s feelings like that.” Lin tries to assure me.

“So what now? I know you two aren’t the sharing type and I don’t exactly have the same feelings for either of you.” I say, Both of them give each other a determined look before giving a nod then turning to me with lecherous grins.

“Oh, I think we can do something about that.” Mei says mischievously before both take hold of me begin somewhat forcefully leading me out of the bar. I glance over to Mei parents, the father in particular giving me look pretty much say “Your on your own, mate.” As both Lin and Mei drag me down the ship’s corridors to my cabin.

I get the feeling I won’t be leaving it for some time.
