"Argh Lina??? Are you reading those stupid BL novels again??" I look over to my best friend who has her eyes glued on her phone.
"YEAH, I AM! DO YOU WANNA READ IT TOO!? CAUSE I SWEAR ITS FUCKING GREAT!!" Lina screams in her high-pitched voice, shoving her phone in front of my face.
Her scream makes all the other girls present in the toilet look over at us.
"No thanks-" I say removing her phone away.
"And will you stop screaming?? We are in our university's toilet! At least control yourself when in public, will you?"
"Control?? BITCH MY FAVOURITE YAOI NOVEL JUST RELEASED A NEW CHAPTER!! HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO CONTROL MYSELF" Lina is hyperventilating with excitement at this point.
"Dude What the fuck is wrong with you!?"
This is my best friend Lina, we go to the same University.
And also she is a fucking Fujoshi!
"Please read it once Erika! Just for once! I swear you gonna love it!" She keeps on requesting me to read her yaoi bullshit.
"I don't wanna read it. I bet it's weird as fuck."
"YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT BUT THAT IS ALSO WHAT MAKES IT SO BEAUTIFUL! THERE IS THE INNOCENT BOTTOM LORENZO, WHO IS LARGELY INDEBTED TO THE SADISTIC TOP ARRON ROWELLS. TO PAY OFF HIS DEBTS LORENZO MUST SATISFY ARRON'S SEXUAL NEEDS AND BASICALLY BECOME HIS SEX SLAVE. OH, AND DID I MENTION THAT THERE IS ALSO THE HOT KNIGHT STEVE, THE SECOND MALE LEAD, WHO FUCKS LORENZO TILL HE PASSED OUT AND SO ARRON MUST TAKE REVENGE FOR TOUCHING HIS PROPERTY!"
My face blushed bright red on hearing Lina's description.
"You like it right? RIGHT!? Just read it for once, Erika! I swear you gon love it!"
"Bitch you need to touch grass! Why the hell do you keep on reading this bullshit? Like this is why you don't have a boyfriend"
Lina falls silent.
Wait was I too harsh?
"But Erika..."
"What?"
"You don't have a boyfriend too," She says the truth in an utterly serious voice.
"That's di-different!" I scream at her.
"Yeah? And how?" Lina smirks.
"At least I don't like to watch two men fuck each other like you. You fucking weirdo!"
"Everyone is weird Erika, some show it and others just know how to hide it well"
For some reason, Lina always has very valid arguments when we fight.
Well, that's only expected because despite being a creepy Fujoshi, Lina is the top student in our class.
"Ugh Whatever, I'm going back to class," I say turning around to leave.
"You never know Erika, maybe deep down you are really weird too." She smiled.
I start walking ahead without looking back.
My name is Erika, I'm a 20-year-old University student.
Studying in an all-girls school and now an all-girls University, I practically have no male interaction.
It is also the reason why I never had a chance to get a boyfriend.
Besides, I'm a huge introvert with not many friends.
Actually, Lina is the only real friend I have.
We went to the same school and now the same University.
Lina is studious, neat, and also introverted just like me. And yes, we have pretty similar interests except for YAOI of course!
Lina started reading BL novels in middle school, and now she is a full-fledged Fujoshi who goes crazy seeing two men in slight proximity to each other.
I never read BL, like I don't understand why she likes reading all those BS. It's so fucking weird!
Just then I remember her words.
"Maybe deep down you are really weird too Erika".
Hah as if? There's no way I am like that.
I walk over to the bus stop to go home but realize that the bus isn't here yet.
I sigh and sit down on the seat.
*BEEP*
I received a notification.
I pull out my phone from my pants pocket to see who it is.
It's Lina again.
And what is this? She sent me a link.
I click on it without thinking much.
And the link leads me to a site with a warning: ARE YOU 18+ OR OLDER?
Huh? What is this now?
When I click on yes and immediately realize what it is.
It's the BL novel Lina was talking about.
"Ecstasy" I repeat the novel's name.
Ugh, that fucking Fujoshi!? She really had to send this weird shit to me?
I should have left the site immediately but...
For some reason, my curiosity kicks in and I click on the first chapter.
Besides, the bus is late and I don't have anything to do for now, so might as well just check it out.
Before I realize it, I'm actually hooked. I keep on hitting the next chapter button.
Besides the explicit sex scenes, the story is actually quite good.
The beautiful son of the Fallen Baron, Lorenzo Williams is sold off to the sadistic Duke, Arron Rowells. To pay off his family's debts Lorenzo must satisfy Arron's sexual desires. Slowly Lorenzo turns into the Duke's personal sex slave. And although Lorenzo hates his guts, he soon becomes addicted to the pleasure and obeys the Duke's orders like a dog.
Lina already explained about this, but what she didn't mention is that...
The Duke was already married.
Rosetta Rowells was a very capable but cold-hearted woman who only got married to Arron because it was her father's last wish. She never loved her husband or even looked at him. Because in her eyes, he wasn't capable of her.
Rosetta was a multi-talented woman, she was rich, beautiful, highly educated, and even skilled in martial arts and Swordsmanship.
But because in those days, women couldn't inherit titles without having a husband, she had to get married when she reached the age of it. And she was married to the son of her father's friend Arron.
But Arron was a mere Viscount's son and the proud Rosetta couldn't stand him. She hated how he had gotten more power than her because he was a man whom she married when he was less in status than her in every way. She refused to obey or submit to him, or even love him as her husband.
Neglected, The Duke turned to the pretty slave, Lorenzo to satisfy his sexual desires.
Although Rosetta was only mentioned in a small part of the story, I really liked her character.
Truly it must be hard to work your ass off only to be considered lesser than a man.
As I'm deep in thought, I realize it's already getting dark.
Shit, why isn't the bus here yet?
I decided to ask a few other people at the bus stop about it.
"Excuse me? Do you have any idea why the bus is late?"
"Oh, you haven't heard it? I heard that there was an accident and so all the buses on that route are late" the person answers.
Aww man, what the hell?
I decided that it would be best to just go by train instead of waiting here any longer.
I put on my headphones and start walking to the nearest station.
After checking left and right I cross the street, while the song plays in my ears.
The song is called, "Mary on a cross".
I have been hearing it a lot lately.
And because of the loud music that plays in my ears...
I'm unable to hear the honk of the car approaching from the other side of the road...
Or the screams of the person I just talked to at the bus station.
And when I notice it, it's already too late.
My eyes were blinded by the car's headlight, and my ears blasted by the melodious beat...
"Mary on a cross..." That was the last thing I heard.
Before my consciousness faded to black...
