211 Vol. 4 pt. 14 Patch 3.0: A Change of Pace (2/2)

Silence.

”Was… was that no good?” Alice asks, looking back and forth between Ryouta and Cassandra. Neither of them looks impressed. If anything, they look like they feel bad for her. ”Fine! Rather than attempt humor, I will just recall more of my fantasies!”

”Cheesy jokes are okay,” Cassandra says.

”I laughed on the inside if that counts,” Ryouta says.

Alice surprises Ryouta with a Cassandra-styled, ”Hmph!”

Ryouta leans his head closer to her to kiss the side of her own before saying, ”By the way, Cass, that thing is tomorrow, right?”

”Ye-yeah,” Cassandra answers, looking away from them.

Serra, not paying any attention to the discussion going on, yawns.

Then Ryouta yawns.

Then Cassandra yawns.

And finally, Alice yawns.

But that makes Ryouta yawn, and then Alice yawns again, and then Cassandra yawns again which makes Serra yawn when she sees Cassandra yawning.

”I think it's time for bed,” Ryouta says.

”Yeah… I'm going to be mad if I yawn again,” Cassandra says.

”But your yawns sound so cute!” Alice says. ”They are both cute and relaxing! I could go to sleep to the sound of your yawns.”

”You're just as weird as he is.”

”I know! Is that not wonderful?”

”I can't keep up with you all.”

”We'll make you keep up whether you want to or not,” Ryouta says.

”I am on my hero's side! We shall ensure that you stay kept up with us, even if by force! We will secure you in tight ropes and drag you with us,” Alice says.

”I'm pretty sure you're the one who wants to get tied up and dragged around,” Cassandra tells Alice.

”You are not incorrect with that statement,” Alice says.

Cassandra sighs and says, ”I'm going to go make sure that everything is off.”

Once Cassandra leaves the room to go downstairs and turn all the lights off, Ryouta and Alice come up with a plan then bring Serra in on it.

Cassandra has no idea what to expect once she gets back upstairs.

When Cassandra does return, she doesn't see anything out of the ordinary. Everybody is still lying down how they were when she left. Well, there's some space between Ryouta and Alice.

”Come lie down with us!” Alice says, patting the space between her and Ryouta.

”I need to brush my teeth and change first,” Cassandra says.

”I sssaaaaaiiiddddd, come lie down with us!”

”I'm too tired. I'm going to fall asleep if I—”

”Cassandra. I am ordering you to come and lie down.”

”Al-alright.”

Cassandra walks over to the bed, climbs up onto it, and lies down between Alice and Ryouta.

The trap is sprung!

Serra rolls over Ryouta's legs and plops herself between Cassandra's, resting her head against Cassandra's crotch just as she was with Ryouta. Then there's Alice who rolls onto her side, rolling with enough speed to throw one of her legs over Cassandra's nearest leg, and she grabs Cassandra's arm to hug it against her while nuzzling her face up against Cassandra's shoulder.

Then there's Ryouta.

He just grabs Cassandra's hand and holds it since he hurts too much to do anything else.

”It worked!” Alice declares with a proud smile. ”There is no escape for you now!”

”He-hey! We're all still in our clothes we've been in all day!” Cassandra pouts.

Serra rolls onto her front, slides a bit farther up Cassandra's body, and then rests her head down on top of Cassandra's stomach.

She wants to sign just how soft Cassandra's stomach is, but she's smarter than Ryouta and knows not to sign anything like that.

”The light isn't even off!” Cassandra whines.

”Lights, off!” Alice says.

The lights shut off, leaving the group in darkness on the bed.

”They… they can do that?” Cassandra asks.

”Of course! I ensured that everything in our home could be voice controlled for my own ease,” Alice says.

”Accept defeat, Cass Cass,” Ryouta says.

They don't get a response from Cassandra.

When they both look at her face, her eyes are shut and her lips are slightly parted as she softly breathes.

Ryouta holds one hand up over Cassandra, and Alice meets that hand with her own in a high-five.

They win.
