Plundering in the Apocalypse-Chapter 108 Alice’s Little Mischief.
If we go sometime back when Shin was absorbing Leonard's memory cube and his body was at the hands of Alice Kayden.
With a lot of trusts, Shin left his body in Alice's care.
"Shin, are you awake?" Alice asked as she poked Shin's cheek just to make sure.
"Hehehe."
"He is asleep. That means I can do whatever I want with him."
Alice laughed as this was a real treat for her. She continued looking at his face. Then something clicked in her mind.
'Oh.'
She came near him and put his head on her lap. Alice was extremely ecstatic. She ruffled his hair.
'Wow, his hair is so nice. But why though? I never thought he took care of it.'
She took her time to enjoy the moment. She smelled him. Played with his face and even kissed him. In simple words, he was being taken advantage of.
Shin's face suddenly turned into a frown like he was having a nightmare.
'I wonder what Shin is experiencing.' Alice moved her hands and interlocked them with Shin. She slowly rubbed his forehead and then gave him a peck on his cheek.
She saw Shin calming down a little. Alice smiled.
While unconscious his body was turned sideways. Alice was a little surprised but calmed down. Her eyes then went to Shin's right ear and a dangerous idea came to her mind.
'I am not a pervert.' Repeating this mantra in mind she moved her head closer to him.
'No, this is wrong Alice. You shouldn't do that. What would Shin think of you?' Her inner voice tried to stop her.
'I am not doing anything wrong. I know. I read it somewhere. If I do that it will be soothing for him.' She tried to come up with an excuse.
'So will you elaborate on how biting someone's ear is soothing for them.' Her inner voice questioned.
Yes, this discussion was in fact related to Alice deciding whether to nibble Shin's ear or not. She didn't want to waste this opportunity presented to her.
'A gentle bite, pull, and rub of the ear lobes stimulate the nerve endings that lead to the release of endorphins. Endorphin, the feel-good hormone helps in relieving pain. It is quite common to tug at the ears, play with them, or fiddle with them when one is nervous or deep in thought, as this act of touch can offer to calm relief for the individual and help relax them at particular times. So I think it would be beneficial to Shin if I bite them and let him relax.' Alice explained herself.
'Wait wait wait. This is definitely wrong. And why do you know all that stuff?' Her inner voice was perplexed.
'Hehehe, don't underestimate me. I wanted to try biting his ears long before so I did my research.' Alice was very smug about it. 'You are me. So you should know about it.'
'Well yeah. But this is very wrong. You are not a girl who would do something like that. Shin put all his trust in you. How can you be so selfish? Just think about it from his perspective. What if he didn't like it?' (*He would love it.)
'What if he thinks you are some kind of pervert?' (*He would never.)
'So I think it would be the best choice to avoid that scenario and-'
"Mmh~ Mmhh~ Munya~ Munya~" (Sounds)
'Aaaahhh. Why the heck are you already tasting his ears like our discussion didn't even matter?' The Inner Voice shouted.
'Aaah,' Alice rubbed the drool from her mouth and replied.
'I'm sorry. I was just tempted. I wouldn't get such an opportunity when Shin is awake so I can't miss this opportunity.'
'You can just ask him to let you do it.' The inner voice countered with a solution.
'No way. He would think I am some pervert.' Alice was extremely embarrassed to even ask that of Shin.
'But aren't you a pervert?' The Inner Voice mumbled.
'What did you say?' Alice heard her but decided to be ignorant.
'I mean to say. You guys have already done the deed so it should be fine.' The Inner Voice said.
'No way. This and that are completely different things. What if someone you like and that person asks you to let them bite your ears, out of nowhere what will you think?' Alice asked.
'I'd say that's creepy.' The Inner voice was extremely apprehensive toward such things.
'Exactly. So the conclusion is that I can only do this while Shin is asleep. So don't waste my time and let me enjoy.' Alice didn't bother to continue her explanation as she continued nibbling his ears.
After a while, Shin woke up and Alice immediately move her head away from his and wiped the drool from her mouth.
She started stroking his hair feigning ignorance that he was awake.
"What are you doing?" Shin asked to which Alice acted as if she was surprised by his voice.
"Oh, you are awake." Alice kindly said while hiding her embarrassment.
"Yeah, how long was I out for?" Shin asked while he comfortably laid there.
'Shin is enjoying my lap. Hehe, so he doesn't want to get up.'
'You are so greedy, Shin.'
'How shameful.'
Although Alice was thinking about all that. She also liked it.
"2 hours 15 minutes." Alice saw the time and replied. 'Out of that time. I played with his ears for almost 1 hour and his face and hair for the rest of the time.' Alice was calculating all this and was smirking inwardly. She was very satisfied.
"...And you were watching over me all this time?" Shin asked to which Alice replied.
"Of course. I wasn't bored though I was playing with your hair."
'Hehehe, that's a half-truth. Well, I did play with your hair. So it does count and it doesn't sound creepy. I am not lying. Although I did many things there's no way I'll admit it.'
"Oops" Alice immediately closed her mouth and acted as if she said that by mistake.
"Hahaha," Shin laughed at her reaction.
'Hehe, safe. Now Shin won't suspect me.' Alice was grinning inwardly.
'Oh no. Why is he getting up? Well, I guess. We can't stay in this position forever. We need to move to the next floor.' Alice complained and consoled herself as she tried her best to not show her disappointment.
"So, was it worth it?" Alice asked Shin.
Shin nodded his head and replied.
"I got a lot of information. Now we can plan our future course of action."
Alice nodded her head and hugged him.
"I know you must have experienced terrible things. But remember Leonard is already dead. We can't do anything about it."
'Shin was having a nightmare because of that dead bastard. If only he was alive. I could kill him again. Ahh, I should have kept his soul and tortured it. That piece of thrash.' Alice was cursing inwardly. She was regretting her decision to let Leonard's soul go with Zephyair.
"Yes," Shin replied as he hugged her tightly.
As they were hugging they started feeling each other. Alice was having the time of her life.
'Ahh, Shin's smell is so nice.'
After the small (really long) hug. Shin and Alice came back to their senses as both of them started blushing.
Shin suddenly felt something and touched his ear.
"Why is my ear so wet?" He got confused as he touched them to find it was wet.
Alice started sweating worried that she might get caught if she doesn't take action now.
"I think it must be sweat." Alice tried to come up with an excuse.
"Hmm. Really? Well, it's weird but not impossible." Shin stopped thinking about it and dried it using a handkerchief.
'Fueh, that was close. I am safe now.' Alice was celebrating on the inside.
"So, should we move to the next floor?" Alice asked trying to change the topic. She didn't want Shin to suspect anything.
"Wait a minute," Shin replied.
'I should check my status first.' Shin thought and muttered.
"Status board."
