Zyria groaned softly as she felt the heat of the sunlight that was creeping through the curtains in the window. She opened her eyes with a small sigh to see that she was laying on a hard chest. Her eyes widened before sitting up quickly to see that she was half way on top of Knox who had his arm around her.
"Oh shit" she mumbled before trying to get out of his hold but his arm only tightened around her.
In his sleeping state, Knox managed to roll them over to have Zyria laying down on the bed completely and his head in her neck.
"I-" Zyria looked around for something to help her get out of this predicament.
"Knox wake up" She said slash whispered as she tapped Knox's arm repeatedly.
No response.
"Knox"
"Knoxxxxxx"
No response.
"Knox!" She yelled and he groaned before shifting burying his head more into her neck. Zyria bit her lip and sighed.
"KNOX!" She screamed loudly as she kicked her legs rapidly. Knox shot up looking around as if he was looking for danger.
"What? what?" He asked making Zyria shuffled a laugh as she covered her mouth with her hands. Knox looked down at her to see her laughing into her hand.
"Why did you wake me up" Knox asked her tiredly as he laid back down burying his head back into her neck, not even realizing it.
"Get up" Zyria stopped laughing as she frowned. She sighed as she realized that Knox wasn't going to move anytime soon.
"Fine" she mumbled and closed her eyes reaching her hand up to play with his hair softly running her hands through it. Knox moved slightly and Zyria quickly removed her hands as she bit her lip.
"No" Knox mumbled into her neck and Zyria held in a giggle as his breath tickled her neck. He grabbed her hand and put it back into his hair before huffing.

"Stay" was all he said before he fell back to asleep. Zyria raised her eyebrow before running her fingers back through his hair massaging his scalp softly.
Zyria did this for a few minutes before she slowly fell asleep again with her hand in his hair.

"They been sleep for a while" Dakota said looking down at Zyria and Knox who both were snoring softly. Kaia shrugged and left the room walking down stairs but not before looking at the clock to see that it was close to twelve.
"I guess everyone skipped school today" Kaia said looking down at her phone see Jada and Hunter on Instagram live eating food.
"So when you going to be my girl" Dakota asked Kaia sitting on the kitchen counter. She grabbed some strawberries that were on the counter eating them.
"What do you mean" Kaia asked standing in between Dakota's legs as she focused on her phone texting Jada. Dakota grabbed her phone taking it from Kai's hands putting it behind her on the counter.
"You like me and I like you so why we waiting" Dakota asked and Kaia rubbed Dakota's thighs shrugging.
"I just want to vibe with you" Kaia said kissing Dakota's inner thigh softly. Dakota's eyes widened and she bit her lip leaning back some.
"We been vibing though baby" Dakota said grabbing Kaia by her neck pecking her lips softly. Kaia smiled and shook her head.
"So you trying to be my girl?" Dakota asked her and Kaia kissed her lips before nodding.
"Of course" she mumbled making Dakota smile and pull her into another kiss. Dakota tightened her hold on Kaia's neck causing Kai to moan and suck on Dakota's tongue as she gripped her hips.
"Sooooo who's the dude in the relationship" someone said making Kaia and Dakota pull away from their intense kiss to look at a shirtless Knox who was looking at them confused.

"Me the fuck" Dakota said and Kaia looked at her before stepping away grabbing her phone.
"There's no boy in this relationship. It's two girls Knox shut the fuck up" Kaia said walking out the room pulling her hair in a messy bun.
"You know what I mean" Knox said after Kaia who flipped him off. Dakota smiled and jumped off the counter walking to Knox.
"I saw you and Zyria cuddling" She said and Knox glared at her.
"Shut up Dakota" he said before walking to the refrigerator grabbing a bottle of water out of it.
"If you like her just say that" Dakota said leaning against the counter as she watched her brother.
"If you don't want to get slapped then shut the fuck up" Knox said and Dakota laughed.
"I would win in a fight" Kota said shrugging as she ate some more strawberries. Knox smirked and rolled his eyes before bucking at Dakota.
"No you won get the fuck on" he said kissing her forehead before leaving the kitchen heading back up to the guest room where Zyria laid on the bed; still sleeping. He closed the door and drank some of his water before putting it down on the nightstand.
"Hey" Zyria said sleepily as Knox climbed back in the bed.
"Hey" he said and got comfortable before Zyria rubbed her eyes yawning.
"What time is it" she asked and Knox looked at his phone clock.
"Twelve thirty" he said and Zyria groaned closing her eyes.
"We missing school" she said before turning over. Knox nodded and pulled the cover over him.
"So what" he said and Zyria looked at him as he laid back on her with his head buried back into her neck.
"You have to stop doing that" She laughed and Knox smiled kissing her neck softly causing the girl to gasp at the action.
"Let me be" his deep raspy voice said and closed his eyes slowly falling asleep again. Zyria smiled and ran her fingers through his hair before falling asleep

The Simulacrum
"He who fights with harem tropes should see to it that he himself does not become a harem protagonist. And if you gaze for long into a narrative, the narrative gazes also into you." --- Friedrich Nietzsche (probably?) How would you react if one day you woke up inside an environment running on tropes and clichés? For allegedly average high-schooler Leonard Dunning, this question became quite relevant when one day he woke up in a pristine city on a strange island in the middle of the Atlantic, without any memories, surrounded by classmates who are barely more than characterless placeholders, and with a classic indecisive harem protagonist and his impossibly beautiful love interests for friends. That would be hard to deal with already, yet his investigation into the tropes governing the world, trying to avoid harem shenanigans, and his odd blend of outside-context knowledge, unique abilities, and a penchant for causing trouble wherever he goes ends up dragging him into the center of the action anyway. Disclaimer: This is a tongue-in-cheek, slice of life romantic comedy, with occasional sprinkles of combat and mystery to spice things up. Please do not expect a straight up deconstruction beyond some in-universe meta-commentary by the characters.
