Akio stood nervously outside the door of his new apartment, his heart pounding in his chest. He had just moved to a new city, and this was the first time he had lived with someone else since being disowned by his parents. Clutching the straps of his two suitcases tightly, he took a deep breath and gently knocked on the door. He could feel his heart pounding as he waited for someone to answer. He desperately wanted his new roommate to like him. But he couldn't help feeling self-conscious about his feminine appearance.
As he waited, Akio checked himself over one last time. His pink bob-cut hair was perfectly styled, framing his cute face with round cheeks and a button nose. His black vest showed off just enough of his smooth skin without revealing too much, while the black shorts hugged tightly to his soft thighs
As he waited for someone to answer, Akio's mind raced with thoughts of what his new roommate would be like. Would they be friendly? Accepting? Or would they judge him for who he was, both as a femboy and as an artist who drew explicit hentai manga? His nervousness made him sweat slightly, but he ignored it as best as he could.
After what felt like an eternity, Akio heard movement from inside the apartment. He tried calling out in a soft voice. "Um...H-hello?... I'm your new roommate..." Akio stuttered out shyly, hoping that whoever was on the other side of the door would welcome him into their lives without judgment.
From behind the door, he hears a feminine voice respond Oh, are you Akio? I’ll be right there! After a bit of rustling, the door opens, revealing Vulwyn, standing there excitedly, then confused Wait, I thought my roommate was going to be a boy? Are you his friend or something?
Akio's face flushes a bright shade of red as he realizes that his new roommate expected him to be male. He tries to explain quickly before panicking more Um...I-I'm sorry if my voice sounded different from what you were expecting...I'm the one who was supposed to move in here, I mean, I did move all of my stuff here so...
Vulwyns face flushed a deep red with embarrassment O-oh, you are Akio! I miss yoke you for a girl, I-I’m sorry, come right in!
He couldn't help but smile shyly at her apology. "It-it's okay," he stuttered out nervously as he stepped inside the apartment. The place looked cozy enough; the walls were painted a soft yellow and decorated with posters of his favorite anime shows. There was a comfortable-looking couch in one corner, and several bookshelves overflowing with manga and figurines.
"So...thank you for letting me stay here,"
Akio smiled softly at her and nodded. "Yeah, thanks for letting me stay with you, Vulwyn." He glanced around the room again, not wanting to intrude too much on her space but also feeling a little anxious about where he should put his things. His suitcases seemed to weigh a ton as he carefully lowered them to the floor. "I-if it's okay with you, I can unpack later and maybe help you pay for some stuff?" He offered shyly.
Yeah, that’s alright with me! I can give you a quick apartment tour, won’t take that long!
"Oh...thank you," he murmured, following her as she led him around the apartment. He couldn't help but notice how cute she looked; her cat ears bobbing with every movement of her head, and her tail wagging gently behind her. She seemed to be quite nice, and he hoped they could become good roommates.
As they continued the tour, Akio took in all the details about where everything was located: the bathroom, kitchen, laundry room...everything he needed to know about living here.
… and this will be your room! It’s already got a bed and some drawers, though the closets a little small. I, um, I really hope you like it here! Vulwyn looks a little shy, hoping that Akio likes the place, and that they could get along
Oh...thank you," he whispered, his cheeks flushing slightly as he took in the cozy little room. It was smaller than what he had been used to growing up, but it would do for now. And having a roommate who seemed so nice and cute made all the difference. He couldn't help but smile at her nervously. "I-it's really nice...thank you."
He glanced down at his smooth hands, wishing he had something to contribute to the conversation or offer in return.
Wanting to continue the conversation, Vulwyn asks So, uh, what do you do for work? If I may ask?
He swallowed hard, unsure how to answer her question. There were so many things he could say; hentai artist, femboy...but none of them seemed like something he should just blurt out to someone he had just met. "I-I'm a hentai manga artist," he finally admitted in a soft voice, looking down at his feet as he spoke.
Vulwyn's eyes widened slightly, but she didn't seem put off or judgmental. In fact, she looked kind of interested! "Oh...
She starts laughing, then realizes how incredibly rude that was, and clarifies I’m sorry, I wasn’t laughing at you, I was just laughing at the coincidence… Too embarrassed to say it, she leaves Akio to deduce what she means by that
He blushed deeply at her laughter, confused by the reaction. "I-it's...fine..." he stammered out, feeling even more self-conscious than before. Why couldn't she just be mad or judge him like everyone else? She was so cute and nice, he didn't want to ruin things between them by telling her the truth about why he did it...the need for approval, attention, love...all the things his parents never gave him.
Haha, yeah, what are the odds that both of us draw… well, that kind of stuff, hehe… Akio finally realizes what she means
He couldn't help but chuckle nervously at her comment. "Yeah...quite surprising," he agreed, glancing at her once more before looking away shyly. Seeing her reaction had made him feel a little more relaxed; maybe she wouldn't judge him for what he did. And if she could find it funny or interesting...well, that was something else entirely.
"So," he said hesitantly, his voice soft and quiet, "do you mind if I ask what kind of stuff you draw?"
Vulwyn, now reduced to a flustered, stammering mess, responds W-well, I also, um, draw h-hentai, uh, drawings too…
He could feel his heart racing as she admitted it; they both drew hentai! And yet somehow, hearing her confession made him feel a little less alone. It was...oddly comforting to know that there was someone else out there who understood what he went through and didn't judge him for it. "I-it's okay," he stammered out, trying to sound reassuring. "I mean, I knew you were into hentai when we met..." He trailed off, blushing deeply again.
"Um...
W-what do you mean you knew I was I-into hentai????? Vulwyns cheeks have turned completely red, completely overwhelmed by the situation
He couldn't help but smile shyly at her reaction. "Well...when we met, you were looking through some of the hentai manga on that bookshelf there..." He pointed towards a nearby section of the room, his cheeks burning with embarrassment. "I-I just thought it was interesting, so I figured maybe you drew something like that too."
Vulwyn's face went even redder as she let out an adorable squeak and hid her blushing face with her hands.
He couldn't help but chuckle softly at her reaction, unable to hide his amusement despite feeling guilty for snooping in the first place. "Don't worry about it," he reassured her gently. "It's just...well, you seem really cute and all, so I figured maybe..." He trailed off awkwardly, not wanting to make things any more embarrassing for her.
About to die of embarrassment, Vulwyn decides to pivot the conversation S-so, are you thirsty? I-I can make us some tea, if you w-want!
He nodded gratefully and followed her over to the kitchen area. "That would be great, thank you," he said softly, watching as she expertly prepared the tea. She moved with such grace and fluidity; it was hard not to stare at her. As they waited for the water to boil, Akio couldn't help but feel a little more at ease around Vulwyn. Maybe this new living situation wouldn't be so bad after all.
"So," he said hesitantly, "
"So," he said hesitantly, his gaze fixed on her delicate features, "what kind of stuff do you like to draw in your hentai manga?" He couldn't help but feel a little intrigued by the idea of seeing her artwork. She was so cute and feminine, it was hard not to imagine her creating beautifully perverse images on paper.
Vulwyn blushed, shyly glancing down at her lap before looking back up at him. "Well...I-I really like drawing, um, t-tentacles, and stuff…”
He couldn't help but smile at her admission, imagining the sort of vivid and erotic images she must create with such a theme. "Tentacles, huh?" he murmured softly, his gaze lingering on her face before moving down to her chest. "I bet you draw some really hot stuff." There was an undercurrent of desire in his voice that he couldn't quite mask; the thought of seeing her artwork made him feel a strange mix of arousal and anticipation.
W-well, what do you draw?? You can’t just ask me and not tell me what you do! It’s only f-fair…
He swallowed hard, still unable to bring himself to speak openly about his work. Instead, he found himself staring down at the floor, blushing deeply as he tried to think of something else to say. "I-I guess I just...like drawing what people like to see," he finally managed to stammer out lamely.
Vulwyn cocked her head to the side, studying his expression. "Do you mean that you draw...um..." She paused, searching for the right words before deciding on, "...cat girls?"
Teasingly, she adds Is that why you moved in with me? Looking for inspiration?
Heat floods his cheeks as he realizes what she's implying; that she thinks it's because of her cat ears and tail. "I-it's not like that..." He stammers, struggling to find the words to explain himself without revealing too much. "I just...um, I think you're really cute, and I like drawing characters who look like you."
Her eyes widen in surprise as she considers this revelation. "R-really?"
