Chapter 237: What’s Not To Love?

“This again?”

“Don’t -This again- me!”

“Well, it is getting old.” The Paru muttered as he looked away.

“…!” Raya frowned, rubbing her forehead. “This is why I didn’t want to say anything!”

“I’m glad that you said something… But that?”

“What do you mean THAT? It’s what I was thinking about, okay?!”

“Is it about how you got horny in front of-”

“WELL… PARTLY!”

“Huh.” Cero muttered, before falling silent.

He was still holding her in his arms, holding her body close to his. Still, Raya started to feel awkward by the silent, and tried to fill it. Finding the words wasn’t easy though. The issue seemed to be more of a general feeling rather than a particular thing, which made explaining and pointing to it more complicated.

“Is it about the bathroom incident again?”

“T-The bathroom incident??” Raya exclaimed, her eyes wide. “That’s how you’re calling it??”

“I guess.” Cero chuckled. “Since you’ve talked about it a couple of times already.”

Raya pressed her lips together, remaining silent while her gaze moved from right to left.

“Even if we take that for example…”

“Here we go again.” The Paru sighed, before letting out a chuckle. “Sorry, continue.”

“Well, I… I mean… That’s weird, isn’t it? I mean… We talked about it… With Liz, with Rea-”

“About the incident? Damn, that’s bold of you.”

“No.” Raya rolled her eyes, her pressed lips curling upwards at the corner. “About… You know… How it would be weird to… Well, see you differently and all.”

“Right, yeah.”

“Well, every conversation about that ended with us agreeing that it would be weird, and that you would need to be a weirdo to… You know!”

“Why is everyone so worried about being a weirdo?”

“Hm?”

“You talked about it with Liz and Rea? Why? I mean…” He chuckled. “Why do you even care?”

“I don’t know.” Raya shrugged. “Seems like I just do. It’s just that… Ugh… I mean… I got aroused by a fucking Paru! No offense.”

“None taken.” He nodded.

“You’re obviously different than other Parus, but I had no idea at the time. I just… I mean, fuck! Just like you did earlier, I spread my legs and felt so excited by that. There’s definitely something wrong with me. I mean… This goes beyond being horny. I was…”

“Down horrendous.”

“I don’t know what that means…” Raya frowned, replaceing it strange that he knew of expressions that she didn’t. She shook her head. “But I can imagine what it means so… You know?!”

“Hm.” The Paru shrugged. “I already told you that I found it hot. Very hot.”

“No, you didn’t.”

“I really.”

“No, you didn’t!” Raya repeated, her tone colder and more stern than ever before. “Like… What? You would replace it hot if you saw that happen now? What kind of person gets aroused by… Disgusting is what it is. It’s way beyond pathetic or weird.”

“Hm…” The Paru stared at her face for a moment. “It’s not that simple, is it?”

“What do you mean? Of course, it is. I’m just… The kind of person that’s… Disgustingly horny. I mean… What the fuck was that?”

“Yeah?”

“Yeah!”

“Right…” The Paru looked away, before pointing to his right. “Let’s say that a Paru was to appear there, right now. Would you get horny?”

“Huh?”

“Would you get horny? Seeing its pincers, and legs, and shell? Would you get horny?”

“Well… I don’t know! It happened once, so!”

“I don’t think you would get horny from that.”

“I don’t either, but the evidence seems to point to the contrary.”

“Does it?” The Paru smirked, placing his arm back around her and holding her tightly. “Does it point to the contrary?”

“Y… Yes?”

“But it’s not a Paru that made you horny.” The Paru whispered as he started tilting his body forward. “I’m the one who made you horny. Not a Paru.”

“W-What’s the difference?” Raya sneered as her back slowly reached the ground. “You looked like one, and that’s-”

“It’s totally different.” Cero interrupted.

Her legs were spread just wide enough for him to position himself between them.

“You could tell what I was thinking. What I was feeling. Couldn’t you?”

“N-No?”

“Of course, you could. You got horny because it was me. Because I was horny. Because I was looking at you, watching you, lusting over you. I wasn’t able to say anything, or act on it… Though I tried. But you could tell that I understood your words, and that I wanted you.”

“Th-That doesn’t make it much better! You were still-”

“Exactly.” The Paru interrupted. “I was… It wasn’t a Paru. It was me. Even though I couldn’t talk, even though I looked differently, it was still me. You could tell that I was in there.”

“What’s that supposed to mean? Tell that you were in there?”

“Hm…” The Paru chuckled, before pointing at his own head. “My soul, I guess. You could tell that it was in there.”

“That… Doesn’t mean anything…” Raya muttered as she looked away.

“Scientifically speaking? Maybe.” He shrugged, a smile on his face. “You seem to think that my body changing made me different, but it didn’t. I’m sure it can feel that way, but I’m still the same. If anything, I only like you more for it.”

“Oh, really? You like me more because I was aroused then?” Raya sneered sarcastically. “I should be happy that I get to be with you tonight. I mean… How many times did I think about it happening? I was… Annoyed when we got interrupted, or when Lith and Liz were in the bathroom… And yet now, I’m messing up everything.”

“Do you want me to turn back?” The Paru muttered. “Sorry, that was a bad joke.”

“It really was.” Raya looked away. “Though you’re not wrong. Maybe I’m just that weird, you know? And maybe you’ll like me more for it!”

“You liked me then, and you liked me now.” The Paru whispered in her ear. “That means a lot to me, you know? You might replace it weird, but I don’t.” He pulled back slightly. “You liked me even when I looked that way so…” Cero muttered as he caressed her cheek. “What’s not to love about you?”
