"Oh my god." I collapse besides Maisie while she pushes her hair backwards. "We've got to stop doing that...it's just getting stupid." She smiles. I on the other hand shrug my shoulders back. "You want us to stop fucking?" Oh my god. That's the first time ever that someone has said that to me. How am I meant to react?
Obviously I'm going to respect her wishes...but that's just a shock. Maybe I should ask why.
"How comes?" Maisie shrugs back her shoulders while she moves closer to me in the sheets. "Maybe it's for the fact...we do this every single day. I don't even know if that's healthy. I mean is it?" I'm guessing what she means is that she isn't sure whether this amount of sex is 'healthy' for our relationship.
Honestly I'm not sure. But it's been really fucking good. I'm not going to complain about it...that's the least thing I want to do. I just love her - and I think she loves me too. Well until she literally told me that we should stop...our intimacy. Maybe I've done something wrong? Oh god. I really fucking hope not.
"It depends on whether you're happy...with me?" It's a incredibly move, but I can't help not touching her. I have to brush the side of her cheek gently with the back of my hand. Maisie closes her eyes. "I'm the happiest I've ever fucking been. I just don't want us to go from...perfect nights like this - to not seeing each other for months. Can you imagine the strain on our relationship when we go away for months on end because of yours?" Fuck.

She's...got a point as much as I want to deny it.
"You know that we'll figure something out. Maybe we can plan tours together? Plan then so you play the night before us or something?" Maisie's eyes then go from sleepy to wide awake. "Seriously." She whispers while looking like an angel. "Of course." I whisper as she literally kisses me on the noise. "Fucking weirdo." I mumble as I kiss her again.
The kiss is like all of the other kisses we've been having lately. It starts innocent, and ends up in something very impure. But before we can do that impure thing, both of our phones go off at the exact same time. "T-the fuck..." Maisie breathlessly says while pushing me off of her. "Didn't we have a rule? No phones." I mean - it's not like we're going to get any actual good calls.
"When both of our phones go off at the same time...I don't think that rule applies." Maisie gets out of bed stark naked while I'm still in between the sheets. She then grabs her phone and mine, which are both charging and then throws mine to me. Thankfully I catch it. Maze then sits besides me.
In silence we both open the text notification at the same time. I cannot believe what I'm seeing...
"We're going to NY Spooktacular!" Maisie shouts looking shocked. New York Spooktacular is a elite event - even though it sounds like a child named it - where musical artists go to perform in front of Hollywood A-Listers. It's also like a Halloween award show.
Before me and Maisie can celebrate - Maisie goes pale. Her smile fades and one arm clenches around her thin waist. "Babe?" I whisper as she picks my top up and puts it on quickly. "Maisie..." my voice trails off as I watch her slowly stand up. "What a wrong?" Her face reminds me of someone who has just remembered a really shitty thing they once did.

I highly doubt that she has anything she regrets.
"I...think I'm gonna throw up again." Lately she's been having these weird throwing up spells. Sometimes they don't stop.
I checked Maisie's temperature the other day. Only because she was playing around with this thermometer thing...and it doesn't seem like she has a flu - she doesn't have any of the signs for a sickness bug. In fact she's eating more than usual. But fuck no am I going to say anything. She's been battling anorexia ever since she was twelve...but at least she's happy. I want to keep it this way. She looks much better...
Well she did look better until this sickness.
"Fuck!" Maisie shouts while she runs to the toilet and throws up. I on the other hand sit up and out my pants back on. I then run to the bathroom and see her hovering over the toilet seat and throwing up violently.
"You're going to have to get better before Halloween. You do know that right?" Maisie - in frustration - turns her head around slightly after her most recent puking session. "I know...I'm just...confused. I'll get checked out. It's probably something to do with why my period is late?" I'm not worrying about that. Me and Maisie are careful like...really careful. Birth control cycle and condoms - except tonight. But Maisie has taken the pill so it's fine.
"Maybe your body is just weird?" Maisie doesn't smile at my slightly insensitive joke. Instead she turns her head around to the bowel and throws up again.
I hope it isn't what I think it is. Because we're two people that actually don't want to give up music...not now. Especially for something which is unneeded. I don't think Maisie can take that kind of pain and loss.
"It's probably nothing." I reassure as I bend down next to her and rub her back. It's something...

How the Stars Turned Red
Announcement as of 05 July 2022: I've been diagnosed with some pretty severe nerve damage in my left arm, rendering me unable to write effectively, and as such this story is on hold until it is healed. I am so sorry, and I promise to get back to writing as soon as possible. In the latter half of the 3rd millennium CE, humanity has spread across the stars, inhabiting close to five-hundred worlds across the Orion Arm. Earth has become irrelevant, a historical has-been. The galactic map is dominated by two mega-factions, both controlling vast amounts of territories either through direct control or through their many allies and treaty signatories. The Kingdom of Aurora is the political and economic hegemon despite consisting of only seven inhabited worlds; their strength lies in the Royal Union, an interstellar commonwealth composing an internal market and a common defence pact. These member worlds are myriad and varied, culturally as well as politically, but they all flock to the same banner. The Independent Systems Alliance, spearheaded by the Republic of Elysium, is the ascendant challenger to Aurora and the Union. A pseudo-federal multi-system polity, the Alliance economy and military is rapidly expanding, but at the cost of effective democratic and meritocratic involvement by its people. However, with two superpowers as this, chafing along a common border, and with a constant clamour of polemics, both sides have become convinced the other is constantly preparing for war and are on the look-out for any perceived weakness in their opponent. The predictable result is a huge arms race and a cold war spreading across the stars, requiring only a spark to set the galaxy aflame. Drawn into this game of high stakes are ordinary men and women, their peaceful lives, hopes, and aspirations swallowed by the vortex of conflict and distrust. This is their story. Cover art by Rhodex Designs (FB). Hope you like long chapters and adjectives. Note: English is not my first language. Another story set in the same universe, written by a good friend
8 95Sorcerer, level 1
Alcar's life sucks. His days in the poor quarter of the city of Katresburg are long and tough, his parents treat him like garbage, and he doesn’t have a silver moon to his name. But Alcar knows that there is an exciting world of adventure out there. And when he sees a half-orc master sorcerer walking through his neighborhood, he decides to grab his chance. He approaches Master Maluhk to offer his services as an apprentice. And to his shock, the sorcerer agrees to let him come and try his luck along with several other applicants. Soon though, it is all too clear that Alcar, clumsy and lazy as he is, lacks any natural magical talent. It also becomes apparent that Master Maluhk is only interested in ’apprentices’ in order to get someone to do his laundry and tidy up his books. At best, Alcar and the others have signed up to do unpaid labor. Things go from bad to worse when his fellow applicants for the role of apprentice prove to be reckless in the extreme, and as Master Maluhk’s tower catches fire, Alcar soon finds himself being blamed for their misdemeanors. Can Alcar clear his name, gain another chance, and learn enough to show that he has the potential to be a proper sorcerer’s apprentice? [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
