Chapter 3 - A Prank Too Far
Once Levi had stepped down from the mic, he began to search for Erica.
"Where's Erica?" Levi asked a random dragoness in a concerned voice.
Before a word was uttered, Levi was interrupted by Meribella, who spoke the words Levi never dreamed he'd hear from her in an amazed tone he never fathomed would come from her beak, "I was so wrong about you, Levi! You're a real badass when you want to be! Here, I mixed this eggnog with a kiss! ...Oh, and I'm leaving Andres."
Without a second thought, Levi downed the cup.
With seductive tone, Meribella began to whisper in Levi's ear, "Maybe later we can mate out in the shed... but for now, let's enjoy the party."
The two began to play DigiBeasts for twelve minutes and danced for three, during which he began to feel slightly odd.
"Hey, did you know I once wanted to have sex with one of the angelic DigiBeasts?" Levi chuckled.
'Geez, Andres is such a badass. He knows exactly how to get someone like Levi buzzed, but not drunk. I know it was risky, but he seems to know his stuff. I am so glad I didn't get stuck with loser_-vi_ ,' Meribella thought to herself.
Due to seeing his handiwork near completion, Andres took Levi by the back with a falsely impressed, "Hey, pal. I saw how you stole Belle away from me. Classic cool."
"Sorry, Andres, but I think he accidentally partied too hard. Set him up on Erica's room, okay?" Meribella asked, stifling a chuckle.
With a shrug, Levi gave a nonchalant, "I'm fine guys. I feel a bit weird, but other than that, I'm fine."
"You're going to lay down if you want to go into the shed later tonight. I don't want you to be tired for your first time...," Meribella whispered into his ear seductively.
The ruse caused Levi to give an excited, "Okay! I'll sleep to sleep!"
A few odd glances were given to them after this.
"Don't worry, he wants to stay up later, so he's laying down for a while!" Meribella chimed in deceit.
This turned attention away from them.
Slowly but surely, the two walked Levi to Erica's room.
Taking a tone of false kindness, Meribella whispered, "Get some sleep. You'll _need_it to stay up."
Sighing with anticipation, Levi entered Erica's bed, only to find a sobbing lump underneath the sheets.
"Levi...? Did you come to comfort me?" Erica asked with a whimper.
Taken aback by the event, Levi opened his mouth, only to be cut short with Erica's embrace and words of joy, "I knew you loved me! I knew you wouldn't leave me for her!"
She loved him?
It was then Levi realized something.
Erica was naked!
"Erica, you should put com- I mean, some clothes... on...," Levi began nervously, only to stop short with a confused and slightly piqued, "What's that smell? It smells good..."
Sighing into his hear seductively, Erica said words which caused his hormones to go insane, "I always saw you as the one, Levi. Not my old boyfriend. I was nervous. I was afraid_to tell you...," she placed the tip of her beak directly up to his ear, "I'm _so ready_....._"
Her breath smelled slightly of alcohol.
"Man... you smell so good...," Levi groaned, intoxicated by a mixture of her scent and alcohol, however massively outweighed by the former the latter was, "Well... ugh... I was waiting for her, but damn that's amazing..."
After disrobing in the bathroom, Levi entered the bed.
"Be gentle..."
"I'll try..."
