A loud knock at my apartment front door awakens me the next morning, causing me to groan in annoyance at my disturbed sleep. I slip out of bed nude and equip my pistol before approaching the front door, opening it to be met by a familiar face all the while Kendrick groans into a pillow.
"Rise and Shine princess. Lookin' good today huh?" The familiar man comments, smirking and crossing his arms as 2 men with assault rifles firmly stand either side of him, all 3 of which shamelessly looking my tired, exposed body up and down.
"Very funny Vincent. You wanna quit bein' a perv or you gonna tell me what you want? Because I'm this close to blinding your optics and dropping all 3 of you on my doorstep." I scowl as I stand before him without embarrassment despite my nude form due to being very secure with my own body, knowing he can't have it even if he tried.
"Just came by to see how my favourite netrunner's doin', that's all. Where's the harm?" He asks, obviously trying to get a rise out of me.
"Yeah? Well I was doing perfectly fine without your obnoxious presence you oversized participation trophy. I gotta say you really like cucking yourself knowing you can't fuck what you're lookin' at aren't you? Like i'm some slut for you to toy with; you're practically foaming out the mouth you mindless sex crazed maniac." I retort harshly, squinting my eyes with annoyance as I continue standing before the 6 foot muscular male.
"Hmm… I can be anything you want doll." He comments creepily to which I open my Cyberdeck on the Corneas of my Kiroshi optics to hack into his OS, blinding his optics with a quick hack and holding my pistol up as the guards raise their own weapons, short circuiting them through yet another applied quick hack; my eyes visibly bright neon pink as I look to him with disgust and disdain.
"Yeah you would be wouldn't you? Fuckin' creep. Give me one reason I don't blind you permanently shit bucket." I spit on his blinded face, the guards looking visibly afraid as I push him to the ground against the railing, my gun still aimed towards his face
"Goddamn- alright I was just playin'..! Shit..". He scoffs and wipes his face before standing up; finally regaining his vision and gaining a serious look.
"I came to tell you to stay the fuck out of my territory. One of your bitchy friends came by trying to enter a club I run in search of some random choom; Kiera was her name I think? Said i'd be hearing from you if I didn't let her enter so I thought i'd visit you personally. She comes near my territory again, I won't be so fucking generous." He scoffs before walking off with his guards, murmuring pissed off curse words.
"Fuckin' asshole." I scoff and slam the door, locking it as Vincent walks away, turning to see Kendrick who's respectfully looking away, surprised and blushing by my nude body.
"I- who was that-?" He ask, his hand still in front of his face as he averts his gaze and I sit down on the couch with a pissed off expression.
"Vincent Williams. Major Misogynistic prick. Runs the gehtto near mine. Been pressing me for a couple months. Asshole never knows when to quit." I answer, walking to my bedroom and puffing my vape.
"Oh- I- I see. Could you put some clothes on please..?" He requests so he can stop covering his face, causing me to laugh loud.
"Why're you so embarrassed? You're acting like a 13 year old who's saw tits for the first time." I smirk, walking to my bedroom again and picking out a simple light blue Hoodie and sweatpants before going to the bathroom to brush my teeth and returning to the living room as he visibly calms and sighs.
"I- it's not that I just- you're obviously very attractive and it was unexpected- a better question is why're you so comfortable with it? You're not afraid of walking around nude, especially im front of a man that you already have a bias against?" He asks, looking to me as I take hold of my hairbrush, running it through my long, dishevelled wavy hair.
"It's not like I walk around like that Kendrick, I just sleep naked and he woke me up. It's comfortable and it's not like I occasionally have guests such as you and Vincent. Plus i'm not self conscious, I know I look really good and there's no shame in it. And like I said yesterday, i don't hate you. You couldn't do anything if you tried. Wouldn'ta let you stay otherwise." I respond, as I continue brushing my hair, walking to my kitchen. After around 10 minutes, I walk to the kitchen and make some basic breakfast for both of us.
"What're you making?" He asks, raising an eyebrow as he gets up and stretches.
"Just some Eggs and Bacon. You know. Basic shit. It's SCOP though so." I respond, resulting in the corpo to sigh, obviously a bit disgusted by the SCOP food.
"Yay… worms and bugs… my favourite…" he responds sarcastically, rolling his eyes.
"Your learning Sarcasm! good boy~" I smirk as I pet him condescendingly, continuing our shared banter.
"Oh fuck off with that. I ain't your damn pet." He rolls his eyes and swats my hand away with a growing smirk.
"Oh that's right. You're still a 'saka lapdog. Well, I'll be here when they inevitably get rid of you." I reply before chuckling to myself which results in him getting defensive again.
"They're not gonna "get rid of me", I've got a Scholarship." He argues as I continue to cook.
"Whatever helps you sleep at night bud. All i'm saying is that Scholarship means nothing to them if you're not a brainwashed slave to the corporation." I remark before focusing on my cooking.
After breakfast passes, he leaves my apartment and presumably returns to Arasaka Academy as I clean up my apartment, leaving shortly after to go searching for Kiera in relation go Vincent's appearance.
