A Red Letter Day

[DizzyKnight]

Unsurprisingly, the British supervillain's death stare did nothing but encourage Asuka's childish instincts. With her almost-signature goofy smile on her face, the blonde Japanese girl drifted up almost uncomfortably close to her rival and took hold of her by the hips.

"You make me sound a lot smarter than I am. There was no 'ahead of time', I just had a cool idea and now I'm making things up as I go along!" she declared, almost proudly. "I could pay your whole rent? Make you another attire design? Beat you up again?" she teased, while Miriam simply stared and wondered where she had gone so wrong to have this crazy girl as her boss.

There was, of course, a very mischievous glint to her otherwise goofy expression, that seemed to grow brighter and brighter as the workmen's footsteps got louder and louder, and Asuka started to gently lean closer and closer to Clara's lips, while slowly pressing her rival's back against the wall, very clearly planning to humiliate the chuuni!

As Clara kept an angry glare on her crush, Asuka quickly moved in very very closely to the Shadow Lord, and grasped her hips firmly. Even though her expression wasn't changing, Clara's cheeks would redden at the sight of the streamer moving in closer, and trying to defend her decision...somewhat.

The two looked at each other silently for a good 20 seconds it took for the workers to climb up to the Brit's (or rather, Brits') appartment, and as they almost got to the door, Asuka would pin Clara against the wall, and move in with her lips toward's Clara's...

...only for the Shadow Lord to put in her right forefinger right to Asuka's lips:

"I'll deal with you later...", she would say, as she slipped past her crush (slightly berating herself that "the right thing" in this case meant no warm passionate kiss with Asuka), before walking towards the door as the workers rang the bell to check whether anyone was home, the Brit opening the door to let them in.

With Clara signing the the papers for the delivery, the workers left for the materials for the bed frame and the mattress...

And Clara turned back to Asuka, still with a slightly angry stare on her face: "I accept Miriam living here...but no more kisses today for you, sweetie!", she would explain her "punishment" to the blonde...

The two young lightweights were so close to a kiss that Clara's finger touched both Asuka's lips and her own when she brought it up to interrupt the attempted humiliation. Her blonde rival drew back a little and whined in protest, looking half confused but also as if she'd been challenged, which is an utterly horrifying thing to see.

She simply watched (eyes mostly following Clara's flawless backside) as Gaster moved to the door and allowed the pair of delivery men inside, signing off the paperwork to let the company know it had been delivered. As they were bringing parts up the stairs, Asuka waited until juuuust the right moment when they were both leaving Clara's bedroom with the old bed and mattress, and delivered a monstrous smack across Clara's flawlessly round butt! She'd angle her hand in such a way that it would be very loud and obvious, but wouldn't sting... too much.

Both men would look up quickly at the sound, to see Asuka's hand resting on Clara's rear, and then awkwardly turned and left again without a word. As soon as the door closed, Asuka burst into laughter, especially when Clara finally delivered an answer to her. Miriam buried her face in her hands, turning as red as her outfit.

"Oh that's fine, I'll get you back double... Mmf, triple! next time we meet!" Asuka promised with a smug grin and a wink, backing up towards the door. She'd draw her phone out of her pocket, work away at it with her fingers for a moment, and then smile at Clara, "All done, bed, maid, embarrassment, and money! You're now ¥200,000 richer than you were this morning." she'd finally deliver, before slipping out the door with two fingers raised in peace sign, and vanishing. Leaving her two fellow lightweights to assemble the frame, haul it into the bedroom, and somehow get the mattress on top of it.

Right as Clara returned the paper she signed to the worker to deliver the bed frame and mattress inside:

SLAP!

"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!"

The scream from the butt slap would prompt the workers to turn around, to see Asuka behind Clara, and then turn away as the girl's cheeks reddened in embarassment:

"No slapping either!", she would add.

With a final farewell, Asuka left the room, and the workers quickly came in to deliver the bits and pieces for the bedframe inside, leaving them in as they waved goodbye, and exit Clara's humble apartment as well:

"What am I to do with her...", Clara would ask herself, part of her disliking her crush's harassing antics onto her body...but another part was weirdly ok with these sorts of antics of the blonde...

Clara turned towards Miriam: "S-s-soooo, ummm...h-how are you doing?!", Clara would awkwardly ask her new maid and new flatmate.

[DizzyKnight]

Miriam had resigned herself to the idea that she was the only sane person in town, and simply laid back on Clara's couch, staring at the ceiling with bright red cheeks, but also a smile on her face. As Asuka & Clara were messing around like a pair of young teens, Miriam had been hit with just how lucky she was, a total rookie that barely spoke the native language, having just this morning come out of training, was now (literally) in bed with one of the most popular lightweight wrestlers, and working for another.

Hearing her new roommate speak brought her back to focus on reality again, and the small blonde sat up straight to look over at Clara, a smile across her face. "A bit overwhelmed, miss. It feels like I'm dreaming, er, I must be one of your biggest fans and now I'm living with you. It's very strange." she'd respond, tugging her gloves and elbow pads off and setting them on her bare thighs, having still not had time to change out of her wrestling gear.

[Vc0m]

"I-I see...and I agree, ahaha...", Clara would reply with a nervous lagu...right as she noticed Miriam was still wearing her wrestling attire:

"Wait, what about your things? Clothes, luggage...Wrestling gear isn't something to wear 24/7!", the Shadow Lord would say. The longer this affair continued the more it seemed like an elaborate joke on the blonde's part...

...or, at the very least - something that she came up with in a span of 1 minute from waking up.

Still, nothing she could do with that, now that she said yes, meaning they had to build the bed for her roommate from pieces provided. She likely had to put the bed near her's, and thankfully, she had just enough space to fit in 1 single sized bed. Some of her shelves were also empty enough to allow Miriam to store her things once they arrived...

As Clara took one look at the mattress, however:

"Wait...why is your bed so big?", she would question, as it seemed to be double-sided. It couldn't fit into the room without removing Clara's old bed from there...
