Chapter 25: When a Gnoll goes home.

POV: Keeks

“Welcome back home Kiera nya!” I eject straight out of the Pod; I can do everything I need to at my computer instead of the Home Access Point. Feels more personal, the clicking of the mouse, the feeling of the computer rumbling, not being completely connected to the networks, being able to have the privacy and knowledge that it's all mine.

“NACHHOO!!!” Leaping out of the pod I sweep the kitty~ my beautiful Nachhooo~ She's the best and cutest thing ever.

“Please unhand me!!!” I pull her in and smoosh myself into her fur, it might be an animatronic body, but I paid top dollar for the most animal like body I could find! her little kitty struggles and meows are the cutest in the world!

Sitting on the large couch bed I hold her above my head and look at her in her dilated cat eyes. “Did you see?! How awesome it was today! I went blap and shwing and waarrrgggg! I bet Lil and Zel were super impressed with me hehe maybe they will want to be real life friends! Maybe more!”

I pull Nacho close and hug her to my chest, she goes quiet and after a while starts purring as I pat her gently. I hope they want to be proper friends…

It's been really fun since I met the moo girl, it's only been a few days, but I’m really looking forward to seeing her again, and not just for how big and amazing she looks. She’s never looked in judgment of me… except when asking to get squished, but that's something I've come to expect nyehe.

“Hey Nacho?...”

“Yes Kiera nya?”

“Umm do you think… ugh… nevermind… can you order in from the smushi place I really like?...”

“Of course I can order you some… ‘smooshi’ dear nya” Nacho freezes for a second and lets me know the order’s in.

“Thank you… my cutest and most precious kitty!” She rolls her eyes and keeps on purring.

After laying down for a few minutes the door chimes and Nacho hops up, the door opens and a small flying robot makes a few bleeps of thanks and drops a felt bag on the floor, Nacho picks it up with her mouth and motions for me to get my ass out of bed.

At night we eat on the balcony, She brings it over and I pick her up, food and kitty in one, she gets up on the table and starts pulling the felt bag open, her tiny paws grab a box at a time as I clap in enjoyment in watching her work.

“My kitty is so smaarrttt~” She rolls her eyes again at me, she's really good at it, of all the Fia’s she’s probably the most talented at that… is that my fault though?... nah!

All the dishes are out, a banquet for just us! We gaze over the balcony. I've lived here for the last few years now, sometimes alone, sometimes my sister comes to visit before dashing off on the next ‘assignment’... I hate this… it nearly got too much, I kept streaming, so I had people there.

Now that Nacho is here, I'm not so alone, I got my pod a month ago, a month of my cute little Nacho time!

The lights of the Central region are beautiful, countless people living their lives. On the 30th floor you can see the rest of the city below. In the distance one building stands higher than the rest, Sci-Axium Headquarters, the logo of the book stands out on each side, it glows and illuminates all the buildings around it. Only business buildings were allowed in that area due to light pollution, like the middle of the city is one big, beautiful lamp.

I look up and the sky is dark. I wish I could see some stars tonight, maybe it's better to see where they are...

I eat my smushi slowly, enjoying every bite, Nacho snuggles up on my lap looking out into the city with me, cars, and people so far below. The wind blows through my hair, inviting… making me want to feel it against my naked skin, even this high up I can feel the summer warmth.

For weeks I've been craving the touch of someone, a woman that can please me, that I can please, when you have such a large collection of toys and no one to use it on, it's just sad, my poor strap going unused.

We retreat back into the apartment, the door closes and the cooling system boots up, getting it back to the perfect temperature, the floors are heated since I don't like wearing any socks or anything, the bedroom has been converted into a computer room, my beast of a machine treats me well and she purrs for me. I press her start button on the wall and she starts booting up.

“Yeah baby purr for me~ hehehe” I get in my seat and look around at my 5 screens, 1 central and 2 on each side, from the corner of the room the desks extend out aggressively. Booting up I start my conquest of last night's stream; I crack my fingers and get to work. I need to get a proper upload done as quickly as possible before all the bootlegs come out!

I throw up a message to Lord Squidington and their face appears on the most right-side screen. “Hey Keeks, how's it been? Absolutely crazy stream! Loved every minute of it, we were going wild in there, shame you didn’t get to see chat!”

“Heh right, it was fucking cool, all the flesh and blood! Best stream I've ever had! Fucking pvp can suck it if I get to fight next to the hottest cow girl! Speaking of! What did you think of her isn't she cool?!” I start giggling to myself pleased, I watch through the fights and see her run up the wall and slam Anastasia against the ground. A growl of want comes from me as I immerse myself in all her movements… fuucckkkkk!!

A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

They laugh at my actions “She sure is your type, does she have a girlfriend though?... One of the chat was fangirling pretty hard for her, the words ‘that’s my fucking cowgirl!’ seemed to come up a lot”

I shrug “I mean if they aren’t fucking they soon will be, but…” I check my messages, a few flirty ones had arrived from the cute wolf girl. “I honestly think we could work something out; her girl is interested and I've seen how miss moo has acted around me… I wonder if they are that tall in person… not that I'm as short, ugh the height difference in game is amazing though!”

I jump out of my seat and run to the wall, there are markings indented into it, pulling out a flip knife I whip it around until the blade is out, pushing against the wall I carve a little bit into it. Fuck yeesss im a little bit shorter… should be at… 4”11’?? Nacho has been helping me adjust my hormones, I'm gonna be small as fuuccckkkk!!!!!

I leap back to my seat missing it slightly and falling under my desk sliding into the wall, ohhh that's where my other knife went! I missed you my pretty pink knifey! Ugh, it's warm down here on the floor… I could take a quick nap…

“Oi Keeks don't you dare fall asleep on me down there again! I thought we were going to do some editing tonight!” Ugh fuck alright blagh. I wearily get up, wiping my eyes, still havent slept much in the last 29 hours, sooo fucking worth it though!

“Nachoooo can you get me an extra big energy gulper~ thank you I loves youuuu~” I hear a sigh from the living room and a thump as she hits the floor, she's too good for me, but I know she loves taking care of me despite how she acts, such a tsundere hehe.

I get up and start smashing out the editing along with Lord Squiddington, a kid that I’ve known since school, or at least the school that I spent the most time with, kept having to travel again and again, making it hard to bond with people.

Every time my sister was taken to a new area for 'work' she had to bring me with her, it became easy after a while, all the forms and introductions and dealing with ‘oh I’m the fucking new kid, don’t bother making friends with me I’ll only be here a few fucking months!’ but it was either that or a home. Once I hit 20 I was allowed to do as I pleased and so I moved around with her a bit more until I found the perfect spot.

Drink after drink is deposited at my desk, Nacho is getting increasingly concerned at the amount of energy drink in my system, I can see that she’s considering releasing sleeping gas into the apartment… it wouldn't be the first time heh “Bad Nacho no sleeping gas! This needs to get uploaded tonight, it's not like those other times!”

“You say tonight, you haven't slept in nearly 35 hours, you're going to collapse again! Don't you have an important day tomorrow!” ppssshhhhhh kitty trying to tell me what to doo!

“Oh please this is nothing! Besides, energy drinks are the drink of gods! I’ll live forever with it flowing through my system muahaha! Isn't that right squidy!” I look at the rightmost screen… oh he's asleep… blah! Betrayedddd.

A drooling long haired guy is sleeping on his keyboard, I can see part of his screen is continually running through letters on the screen, nuuuuuu… at least they didn't mess up the vids!

After another hour I stretch my limbs and scoop up Nacho into my arms to her screams of fury which is like music to my ears, I plant my face in her fur and she smacks me on the face with her soft pawsieess yeeeyyy~ She gets free and humphs at me, strolling off back to the living room, I peak through and see her making muffins on the bed, I secretly take a video and see her flinch as she sees a new video is uploaded to the home storage.

“Delete that this instant!! If the other Fia’s knew of this, I would be mortified! My dignity! Nya!!” I close the door to the computer room with a fufufu. I’ve finished my work, so I disconnected Squidy from the call. They deserve a break, they do good work, at least they don't roleplay in our calls otherwise I would slap the off button sooo fast!

I boot up my personal computer drives, I sigh, my small body curled up next to LilMoo’s body, I haven't slept like that in years… I miss being with people… I don’t know much about love or anything, I think it’s crazy, but having someone in your bed and being safe with other people I know desperately, it’s always hard for people to want to stay in my life though, always excuses on why I’m not ‘good’ enough for them, fucking hypocrites, like they are always perfect… I can't ‘love’ them… but I can still be with them, I just can't do the lovey dovey stuff… I just want friends that want to be with me and like… fuck, why is that so hard, bleh…

Zelia sent me an invite, I was a bit apprehensive at first but she’s really funny in how much she talks about how cute I am with the person she loves, both of them are crazy… and I really like that… fuck… I wanna be with them both.

I check the time and see it's getting close to 9 Australian region time, neither of them are logged in yet… I feel the sleep demons throwing punches and order another drink from my Nacho waiter, she obliges although not happily. If I didn't have an important date, I would be happily snoring gassed in my seat by now.

Apparently I approved the installation of sleeping gas canisters in my apartment, I guess the hospital visits gave her enough cause to get them in, hah! What can you do though, she's just too cute!!

I fall asleep for a moment before being woken up by Nacho, small kitty paws on my face. “Hehehe itty bitty kibby pawbs go bappers~” She rolls her eyes and lunges at me, all her weight directed upwards, I fall back and bonk my head feeling the sting of the warm floor, she sits beside me and lets her fluffy tail bap me again and again, it’s kinda heaven… but also really annoying.

“Fiinnneeee” I push myself up and down the drink she brought me, heading to the capsule. I fall face first and hear her tsk in my ear as the cushions slowly roll me over into the perfect position, I giggle feeling the weird oily cushions on my skin. “Smooosh”, finally in place the mask goes over my face and I burp into it, hearing one final “ugh Kiera Covaci you gross little thing”. The void takes me, to see the people I want to hold and be held by most in the world.
