House Anon and Cinder

Part 1

>You are Anon
>Just got back home after a boring day at work and shopping
>Walk through the gates and find a heavily wounded woman
leaning against the fence, eyes closed and grass burned
>Her red and gold dress is torn up at the sleeves with a huge gash on the front of it
>Black hair disheveled, entire body sweaty
>Shards of glass stuck to her feet
>Decide to carry her into the bedroom where she wouldn't be seen by anybody else to avoid a commotion

>She wakes up the instant you put her on the bed
>"Who-"
>"Just a normal person."
>The woman is breathing heavily while speaking
>It's safe to assume that her aura's completely gone for the time being with those wounds, and she knows it too
>"Just rest. You need anything?"
>"...Drinks..Food..Don't care what.."
>You start to walk to the kitchen to grab what she wanted
>*DING DONG*
>Whoever's ringing the doorbell will have to wait
>Saving this woman is the top priority right now

>Just gave her some water and a hot dog from the store
>"...Is that all?"
>Her voice sounds weird, but everything else about her appeals to you for some reason even with the weird look at the hot dog
>"If you wanted anything else, it'd just take awhile. I wanted to make sure you got-"
>*DING DONG*
>That damned doorbell. Can't it wait?
>Turn back to find her wolfing down the hot dog as fast as she can
>Her breathing is thankfully starting to get better
>Though her mood isn't, as she glares at the bedroom door
>"Just ignore it. I haven't asked, what's your name?"
>Her glances away from you make it clear she's not comfortable with that question
>"...Cinder."

>Cinder. It sounds like a cute name
>You can't just say that to her with her bad mood
>As you think about what else to say, somebody else is getting impatient too.
*DING DONG**DING DONG**DING DONG**DING DONG**DING DONG**DING DONG**DING DONG**DING DONG**DING DONG**DING DONG**DING DONG*
>It takes about 5 seconds before the both of you absolutely lose it
>"CAN'T YOU CHASE THEM OFF ALREADY!?"
>"HOLD ON, CALM DOWN, I GOT IT!"
>You stomp away as she's gulping down all her water before opening the door
>"What is it!?"
>Your anger instantly evaporates as you see a little girl in a black and red dress and red cape with silver eyes flinch away
>"S-sorry Mister, I saw how messy your yard was and I thought.."
>"No no, it's okay. I'm sorry for yelling. Rough day."
>"Sis, that's why you don't ring doorbells so many times."
>Behind the cute girl's cape, an absolute knockout appears
>Blonde hair, violet eyes, spats, exposed navel, cleavage
>Her sexy outfit is the opposite kind of appeal to the cute girl's
>You try your best to keep your eyes on the cute girl to avoid staring at her sister as she speaks
>"Excuse us sir, we're currently chasing somebody."
>"And you came to my place for that?"
>"Yeah. It'll take just a few seconds."
>A short pause before you sigh
>"Alright, let's hear it."
>"So did you see a black haired woman in a red and gold dress around here? She needs to be turned in to the authorities."
>You freeze up at the description before shaking it off
>If these little girls could handle her, then there's no reason to believe that you couldn't
>Besides, seeing her in such a state made you feel quite sorry for her
>"No, I didn't. I just got back home from work."
>The girls look at each other before nodding
>"Oh. Well okay then. Thanks for the help. Maybe we can chat again if you see her?"
>The blonde gave a quick wink at you as her sis stared at her incredulously from that
>"YANG! No hitting on strangers!"
>"I'm just joking, no need to flip out Ruby."
>"..Can I go now?"
>With each passing moment, you weren't sure if Cinder was going to give you any more problems when left alone
>"Yeah, of course, see you later!"
>"Bye!"
>The girls walked away as you slowly closed the door and ran right back to Cinder.

>"So, who were they?"
>Much to your relief Cinder was trying to drink out of an already empty cup
>You quickly noticed some water was dripping down her lips and chin from how sloppily she drank from it
>"Two girls who were looking for you. You're not exactly a welcome person here, are you?"
>"And what if I am?"
>"Just don't try anything with me okay? I'm still going to help."
>A short pause as she thought to herself before she sighed and set the cup down
>"Fine. It's not like I have anywhere else to go anymore. Got any more food and water?"
>A quick nod and run back and forth before setting a pitcher down for her on the bedside table
>"So what are you supposed to be, somebody fallen from grace?"
>A quick glare from her made you stop before she nodded
>"I had it all. A plan, loyal pawns, and timing. But a lot of..blunders made it all burn down."
>You thought her eyes glowed for a bit but nothing happened
>The closer you looked at her, the more you realized it
>"You were at the Vytal Festival, weren't you? I remember you kicking some guy hard."
>You could see her smirk at the thought as you continued
>"You also had a nice outfit on too. Speaking of which.."
>You pointed at her torn up dress
>"What exactly are we going to do with those? You can't go moving around in them."
>Another smirk from her gave you a shiver down your spine
>"Surprise me, boy."

Part 2

>You sighed before turning around towards your closet
>You did not want to risk pissing Cinder off, so while she was getting undressed you were trying to find new clothes
>Obviously you didn't have any dresses inside your closet, so she'd have to deal with it
>You sighed as you went through each piece, trying your hardest to think while dodging the thought of her naked behind you
>"No not this one, that looks too thick for her."
>"This one looks too thin and ragged.."
>"...A bit embarrassing, but I think it will do."
>It was a black t-shirt depicting 3 Beowolf Grimm howling at a moon
>It looked good at first but now you question why you spent the lien on it
>"Hey, will this shirt do for you-!?"
>You turned around to see her with her arms raised and back to you still in the middle of undressing
>She's wearing absolutely nothing but black shorts right now, her upper body open to your eyes
>But what stuck out to you the most was a curious black tattoo
>"Is that supposed to be a heart?"
>She turned her head around at your words and laughed lightly
>"So what if it is? A gentleman such as yourself shouldn't peek at a lady while she's changing."
>"Since when did I get promoted from 'boy' to 'gentleman'?"
>You called out her taunts but was silenced by her movements
>Hips shifting to one side, she pointed down at her feet
>The shards of glass you saw stuck in her foot were scattered all over the floor
>From the looks of it, the food and water you gave her was enough to at least take care of those wounds
>"I'm seeing results, and they're..satisfactory for the time being."
>She flashed a smirk at you before turning around with her hands covering her chest
>"You want these as a reward, don't you?"
>You knew she was just teasing you, trying to bait out a response
>It might have been because of how much better the mood was, but she was replying more friendly than before
>Either way, you wanted to be the one who was dominant, not her
>Wait it out, it'll get better with time

>With an eyeroll you threw the Beowolves shirt at Cinder
>She easily caught it with a hand, using the unoccupied arm to cover her chest
>With narrowed eyes, she sighed before moving herself into the shirt
>"This looks interesting. I'll be able to change into my other outfits when my aura recovers."
>She slowly examined herself before shifting her hips to one side again and brushed her hair aside
>You couldn't help but stare at her, she easily pulled off a look you'd never be caught in
>"..Well? How do I look?"
>Her words jolted you out of your stupor
>"It looks stunning on you."
>"That's surprising, you know how to throw out compliments."
>Her eyes glowed some more, though you felt comfort from that this time
>"How long do you have left until you recover?"
>"Aww, is the man worried that his woman is going to leave him?"
>You facepalmed at how obvious that particular attempt was and how she saw right through you
>Sounds like her mood is getting unnaturally friendly quite fast
>Before you could open your mouth to reply, it happened
>*DING DONG!*
>"Those girls are persistent, aren't they?"
>"Annoyingly so"
>You cursed the doorbell inside your head, cause the teasing was admittedly nice
>Now the good mood's gone, you might as well check to see what they wanted
>You motioned to Cinder, pointing at the bedroom door before she nodded
>"You know what will happen if you rat me out, right?"
>"Those girls will come to save me from you?"
>You could see her twitch a bit at those words
>"Very funny. Just go."
>Looks like you finally found a way to one up her
>Satisfied with that reaction, you went over to the living room to answer the doorbell
>You should've expected it, but the people who answered were quite different from who you thought it was
>You were face to face with two men taller than you in black trenchcoats and suits
>"Hello sir, we're from the police department. Do you mind if we asked you a couple of questions?"

>Caught by surprise, you backed away from the duo as they imposed themselves upon you
>"We're just here to confirm something. Do you know this woman?"
>One of them showed you a picture of a woman who was obviously Cinder
>You're not quite sure when the photo was taken, but it must have been in quite a rush
>Judging how closed off she was earlier, she wasn't the type of person to give out information about herself easily
>It was only cause of your hospitality that you got info on her name, tattoo and ability to use aura
>These two men must be high up on the food chain to even pinpoint her as a criminal
>Sure she showed up at the Vytal festival, but it was as a normal entrant with a normal team
>Those thoughts quickly rushed through your head before you shook it in response to them
>"No? Not at all?"
>The Officers turned to each other, eyebrows raised before turning back towards you
>You quickly realized that since the Vytal Festival Tournament was a world-wide event, you'd look suspicious by not talking about it
>"Well she did show up at the the 4-on-4 matches at the Tournament earlier. I had to go to work after though."
>The two shot a look at each other before nodding
>"Understood, just warning you now, we'll be keeping an eye around this area just in case she shows up. Have a nice day."
>"Yeah, understood. You guys too."
>As the two men started walking away, you realized that whatever chance you had to redeem yourself vanished
>It was because Cinder was right. You didn't want her to leave
>You haven't had company with somebody like her in a long LONG time
>It wasn't just for emotional reasons either, you had a logical one too
>It was because you could tell the two men weren't as strong as Ruby and Yang were
>They still had the power to take you down, sure, but even so. You two could protect yourselves from them
>Yet it was that reason that also opened up a scary possibility
>When you didn't give Cinder up the first time, you thought you were stronger than the girls
>In that case...Would you be able to take Cinder down if she were to turn on you?
