Chapter Text
Bzzz! Zoe’s phone dinged, much to her delight. One of her favourite parts of being a ‘normal’ girl was the technology. Instant messages sent without using mind control to contact people and photos delivered so flawlessly that it was dizzying. She spun over on her plush bed, turning away from her body pillow and fixing her hollow eyes the buzzing screen.
It was from Amira! Zoe smiled, forcing her lips into an upwards slant. Mortal expressions were incredibly taxing, but they made people feel more comfortable around her.
Zoe had no idea why, but she always liked Amira better than an average friend. It was probably because, besides Damien, Amira acted like a crazy anime boy. It was an adorable trope.
Zoe opened her phone and immediately dropped it on her floor with a loud thump when the picture finally loaded.
Amira was wearing lingerie. No other clothes, just tight....leather lingerie. Her facial expression was ridiculously lurid, almost designed to make Zoe feel weird.
In the photo, Amira bit her lower lip, her white teeth glistening in the probable flash of the camera. In her hands she gently gripped a whip, almost as if she were cradling her lover.
Zoe was disturbed by the burst of heat to her cheeks. It felt like fire churning through her veins, purposely wrapping itself around her brain to distract her. She fiercely snapped her mouth shut after noticing the eldritch drool pooling on the surface of her blanket.
She felt warm and fuzzy butterflies floating to parts of her body she hadn’t given much thought to. Was this normal? Her empty eyes snuck another look at the photo, and much to her displeasure, a butterfly bomb seemed to explode inside her.
Another message dinged and Zoe fumbled, nearly dropping her precious phone in the process of looking at the second text.
‘So sorry Zo!!! Wrong number, lol’ Zoe’s heart sank miserably, and she quietly berated herself for ever thinking that Amira would send her that photo purposely. Zoe began to gather herself, realizing that she had literally had been melting into a puddle all over the bed. It had been a long time since she had dissolved into dark goo.
‘Could you send another?? Jk, teasing!!’ Zoe responded, rolling over on her side, slowly wrapping her tentacle arms up in a tight cocoon of love.
Her phone buzzed once more and Zoe slowly opened her texts, with one response from Amira.
‘Your wish is my command <3<3’ Oh god. There were so many photos being sent.
