[MGE] Crunch Time

You sat down in one of the many rows of seats at the lecture hall. Today’s topic was monstergirl biology - slime compositions and undead respiratory systems.

It had been several decades since monstergirls invaded Earth, and much has happened.

For one, humans were forced to the peace table as a sign of goodwill. Not that it mattered that the invaders had the upper-hand the whole time, but the struggle for humanity to compensate for a more superior race paved way to jealousy and resentment. It didn’t take long for these new extra-species to integrate with society, hence the more progressive education systems and less isolating laws, to accommodate for them.

New ruling parties consisted of higher than average female-to-male ratios as the workplaces boomed. The leadership of many countries drastically changed and evolved, ensuring that monsters have a permanent settlement on Earth.

And here you are, in one of the many colleges that have allowed for monsters and humans to cohabitate together. It’s not like you wanted to pursue a higher education, but STEM majors have been on the rise lately due to the unexplored biology of a monstergirl's body and their apparent resistances to all of Earth’s diseases and common ailments. It became a quest for humanity to investigate these opportunities and evolve their own race as well. But, you’re pretty much in it for the money. A selfish idea, sure, but rent and food doesn’t pay for itself.

The hall was rather spacious, as it provided a maximum occupancy of 400 students and was reminiscent to an amphitheater structurally. It contained several overhead lights aimed at the front with numerous fire-exits at the sides in case of a disaster and a podium for the lecturer. The seats offered a few amenities such as the cushioning and stationary tabletops to write notes on. Though there were several graffiti marks such as poorly drawn phallic images and other childish innuendos, it didn’t bother you as much as it should.

You catch a Thunderbird looking right at you with a lewd grin on her face all the while blowing a virtual kiss to your cheek as a faithful gesture from her kind. You shrug it off and focus on taking notes on the topic for today.

The Lich professor drones on for the next hour or so about the differences between the neural pathways of a monster and a human. She uses her magical abilities to project her voice and points to the important concepts on her PowerPoint slides in a dull and monotonous tone.

A quiet but distinct voice whispers near you ear from your immediate right.

“Hey, can you help me on the midterm next week for this class? I don’t really get some of the concepts the professor has been teaching since last chapter and I'm struggling with this week's homework.”

The nuances of the person's whispers reminded you of one of your friends since highschool.

Arisa, who was a Ghoul you met often but never hanged out with, coincidentally took some of the same general education classes as you.

She wanted to pursue an Engineering major to prove that not all Undead lack a brain, but also because it’s easy for her to pass all the exams now that she can rely on you.

Upon your first introduction with her, she gave off the vibe of being a rather shy and timid individual who wore concealing clothing. However, her tight clothes somehow accentuated her well-rounded hips and firm bust to which you sneaked a glance on from time to time. Arisa, for some unknown reason, clung to you after you unconsciously sat next to her in lecture last year. You struck the usual ritual of introducing each other: how you both went to the same highschool and college together. You weren’t too well acquainted with her, but you’ve seen her in several of your classes from highschool. Up until now, she has been vying for your attention - but in a modest way, unlike the more aggressive monstergirls.

“Sure, when do you want to meet up?”

She leans somewhat close to your ear, “probably in a library or something so there’s not too much noise around us. Maybe some time tomorrow, around 5pm?” She returns to her original position but still looks at you, waiting for a response.

“Hm,” you ponder, as you run through tomorrow’s schedule in your head. “Yeah, that works for me. I don’t really have classes before or after, so I guess I’ll see you then.” You smile to her out of habit.

“Thanks! I’ll see you then!”

And with that, the professor concludes her lecture, and the students get up from their seats and file out through the doors. Arisa bolts out of the doors to go to her next class, which was across the campus.

You also decide to get up before you see the same Thunderbird that was looking at you intently during class also stand up and nonchalantly strides toward you.

“Hey! I saw you during lecture today and I’m thinkin’ if you want to study with me before midterms, if that’s okay with you~”

As socially inept as you are at talking to unknown people, especially girls, you fumble a response and think of a way to compensate for it.

“Er… Um… Sure,” you stammer. “When and where do you want to study?”

“I was thinkin’ your place! My apartment is a bit messy right now and I usually don't study anywhere else besides my apartment, but my friends get kinda’ roudy for the most part...so~ how ‘bout it?”

“I… guess?” You rack your mind trying to find the name of the Thunderbird in front of you. “Sorry, but I don’t really know you.”

“Sure you do! I see you all the time during other classes like Bio and Chem, but you never say hi to me!”

“Oh… sorry about that.”

“Hey, no need to apologize so much! Maybe around 5pm tomorrow? I can’t really go any other time this week because I have work. Trying to pay off the bills and all that!”

You don’t know much about this tomboyish Thunderbird, but at least you have one thing in common.

An alarm rings in your head. That’s the same time you’ll be studying with Arisa! You didn’t really want to deflect her since she’s been nice to you and you didn’t want to disappoint Arisa either by not showing up.

“I’m...kinda busy during that time, maybe another week?” You expected her to explode on you, berating that you're a selfish jerk, but instead something different happens.

“Aw...that’s okay, maybe next time then?” her voice losing her peppy, eccentric edge.

“For sure, sorry about that.” You scratch your head akwardly.

“Nah...it’s all good, midterms aren’t too soon. Oh well. See ya!”

She dips through one of the exit doors and hastily goes outside. Strange, you didn’t even get her name.

After pondering that thought, you decided to leave the empty hall, save for a few students who are coming in for the next class, and go for lunch.


---The Next Day---


You’re waiting near the library and feel a tap on your shoulder. It’s Arisa and she is wearing a rather fashionable tank-top and slim jeans complete with a colorful backpack with some decorations plastered on it. She’s sporting a ponytail today with a touch of makeup that highlights her cheeks and lips a bit more and a pair of dark-colored sneakers.

“Hey! Nice to see you!”

“Nice to see you, too! Alright, so where are we gonna study?”

“Mmm, probably on the second floor or somewhere we can talk to each other openly.”

“Cool, let’s go.”

You lead the way towards the stairs and go up a floor, making sure she follows from behind. You chat a bit with her about the week and arrive to a small study room that is currently vacant.

You and Arisa set down your backpacks and take out your laptops to create study guides for the Bio midterm, but not after you closed the door for privacy.

The comfortable atmosphere of talking with a monstergirl who won’t jump your bones soothes any apprehension from you.

The hour goes by quickly as you and Arisa jot down on a Google Doc some basic concepts, several formulas, and the professor’s lecture notes while simultaneously conversing about the homework and things to look out for on the upcoming exam.

By now, it's 6pm and you notice that it's getting dark outside.

“Hey, want to stop for now? I think we made good progress today. I’m also a bit hungry after studying. Want to go eat somewhere on campus?”

“Oh yea, sure!” The ghoul was multitasking between looking at her laptop and you, typing out several more words before stopping and closing her portable computer.

“Want to go and get some tacos? I’m sure the place is still open at this time.”

“Of course! I’d be glad to go, but-”

You were already out the door to which Arisa stops herself mid-sentence.

Peaking your head out from the study room door, you ask, “What’d you say, Arisa?”

“Oh, nothing, it’s nothing, haha~!” She looks down in embarrassment and packs up her stuff.

The trip to the taco place was mostly uneventful as you and Arisa looked around and occasionally talked about life, the classes you’re taking, and the current world news. Some of the campus lights start flickering on, which emits an orange glow that contrasts with the dim darkness that shrouds the campus. The moon is partially obscured by the clouds but shining behind the event horizon of the distant mountains.

You order some soft-tacos and pay for the two of you. There were a lack of people around since dusk was arriving and no guy dared to be out alone at night, even if the campus was considered “safe.”

You both sit down at the nearest table and silently eat the fast-food together. There was not much else to talk about besides school affairs, so you try to strike up another conversation with the Ghoul.

“Sure is dark tonight, huh?”

Arisa, who was looking down at her food, was zoning out. You try again, but this time a little louder.

“Hey Arisa, are you tired?”

That got her attention, but her face seemed glazed as if she never had a night of sleep in her life.

She snaps out of it. “Oh, yea! Just tired from all the work and stuff. Really need to get going soon! Bye!”

Without saying another word, she immediately gets up and briskly walks toward the front door and leaves the taco place.

You feel a buzz in your pocket. It’s your phone. You take it out, expecting a text from a friend or family member, but what comes next turns your skin pale.

[Full Moon Tonight. Please take shelter at the nearest home. Lock all doors and windows and barricade yourself until morning. 5 minute warning.]

Like a dumb shounen protagonist, you look at your phone longer than you realized and suddenly all the pieces come together.

That Thunderbird from earlier was trying to trick you into studying at your place, which will only lead to a certain situation that you dread for.

Arisa made you vulnerable to the predators of the campus at the worst possible timing.

To add to your grave situation, you can only blame yourself for not reading the numerous signs that have lead up to this circumstance.

In your mind, you wished that the college administration upgraded the security measures during a full-moon, like a 30 minute or even a day heads-up. This was most likely on purpose to catch dense males like yourself off-guard.

You try not to panic. You panic.

You look at your phone. It’s 6:58pm.

Well, there goes a 5 minute head-start.

You rush out the door and into the oddly silent campus grounds. Several monsters eye you with a hungry look on their face. Others looked at the other unfortunate souls, who were all guys, to also be out at this time, despite some of them having night classes or club activities.

You curse yourself and consciously map out the nearest route to your apartment. It was about 15 mins away from your current location on campus.

It would’ve taken a shorter amount of time to get there if you had a skateboard, a bicycle, or a car, but for right now, those modes of transportation would attract too much attention from the monsters.

You stealthily creep towards a building and to the nearest foliage to hopefully mask you of your presence.

Unfortunately, at least one monstergirl has been looking at you since you came out of the taco shop which alerted several others in the vicinity.

You suddenly feel a tap behind your shoulder.

You picture Arisa in your mind, ready to ambush you. Nope.

It was that Thunderbird from earlier.

“Heyyyy~! Why did you reject me earlier? We could’ve had so much fun at your place...don’t you want a study buddy? Just...LET ME GET A PIECE OF YOU!” She tries to electrocute you with her bluish avian wings, but you duck out of the way just in time.

The surrounding monsters look at you in varying degrees of blind lust and sprint towards your compromised location.

You run out of your hiding place and straight to the crosswalks to get to your apartment.

You drop the deadweight of your backpack in the hopes of outsprinting your potential girlfriends.

Unfortunately, the Thunderbird is still on your tail, blazing through the sky to preemptively dive-bomb at you. You swear you could see her heart-pupils but you manage to lay onto the ground so she can’t snatch you up. She misses by a few inches and circles around for another air strike. You take this opportunity to sprint towards some trees to your left and hide under another bush.

Hopefully, you tell yourself, this will deter her away. You wait for almost a minute to catch your breath.

It’s been a while since you’ve gone to the gym or have done anything remotely comparable to a proper workout. Though, you might have to get a gym membership if you get swept off your feet tonight, for other reasons. You regret thinking that and focus on the task at hand.

A lightning bolt explodes from the sky outside of your peripherals and lands somewhere near the bush you reside in.

You recoil from the impact, which thankfully did not hit you, but you don’t give yourself away from your position.

“You know I can see you from up here! Your spirit energy is leaking out of the bush and into the air since you ARE a virgin after all! I can’t wait to take it from you, hahaHAHAHA~!” The thunderbird cooks up another bolt from her wings and hurdles it near your general location.

This time, you are frightened that this particular projectile will be much closer than the last.

“Just one shot and you’re mineeeee~!” She hollers from above.

She readies another bolt but as she throws it, you run out of the foilage and into the open and once again sprint towards your apartment. The adrenaline throttles you forward as you pump your arms at your side and launch your legs one after the other. You breath heavily from the stress and the anxiety and especially from the impending rape. Your mind locks your emotions into surviving this night and getting into your room. Your phone and keys jiggle in your pockets, slightly annoying you and ultimately slowing you down.

You hear flapping coming several meters behind you so you pick up the pace, going into a full-on sprint and anticipating where to go next. You pray that she doesn’t fling another bolt at you, but an incoming noise interrupts your thoughts.

Another beam of electricity hits the ground at your left and dissipates into the pavement. Some of the crackles discharges on you which makes your hair stand on its end. You look behind to see where she is targeting from. She is gaining on your position, and fast.

You try to shake her off by taking a shortcut, a bit of a shady place but the space is claustrophobic enough so that she can’t capture you. You take a right turn and in between two buildings.

You’re close, very close to your apartment. It feels like you lost her in the chase as a gust of wind passes over you. Gradually, you slow down to take a break, but you hear shuffling from behind. With heaving breaths, you quickly try to slow down your heart-rate, which results in a painful aching sensation in your lungs as you try to recover your strength.

Almost there, you say to yourself. You run the last stretch to your apartment. However, your room is on the 4th floor of the building. You almost decide to take the elevator when more shuffling from behind grows in intensity.

You race up the stairs, already tired from your cardio workout and dodging the fury of a Thunderbird. You desperately locate your room on the 4th floor. Some scuffles and other signs of unpleasant noises are heard from inside the other rooms and across the hall.

You take a right, carefully enough not to disturb the residents or the prowling monsters around the apartment complex.

Room 409, it reads. This is it.

You fumble the keys from your pocket and drive the right one into the lock on the door, opening and closing it silently while ensuring that the ambient noises from the creaking springs of the door don’t alert monsters of your presence.

Not forgetting to dead-bolt and chain-lock the entrance, you also try to find the nearest heaviest object to block it in case of any more of the unsavory monsters attempting to scout you out. You turn on the kitchen and living room lights, which provides a pleasant glow to the rooms and its adjacent hallways.

Eventually, you find some boxes from move-in day and lodge them between the door and the hallway. It was a good thing your roommate was out of town and studying abroad because it lessened the pressure of the situation of having more than one male in the same room. Next, you lock all the windows and close the shades to deter any stalkers.

You settle on taking a shower to remove all the sweat and grime off your body. After all, you did outrun several monstergirls and had the race of your life. Several minutes later, you arise from the shower with a towel and prepare to go to sleep. You wait approximately 30 mins to dry off before heading off to bed. To pass the time, you check your phone in case of any texts or warnings. Nothing, but the analog clock on your smartphone did read 7:32pm.

You’ll probably want to get a new backpack for tomorrow as well as some other utilities to make it through your classes. It strikes you strange that they still held lectures after full-moons, however. It must be campus-policy, you mused.

You resign to your bed to get a good night’s sleep due to all the running and to hopefully sleep well into the afternoon.

You turn on your lights in your bedroom and turn off all the lights in the hallway, bathroom, and living room. You close and lock your door for extra-security just in case.

You plug in your phone into the adapter at your bedside table and finally turn off the lights. Tucking yourself in, you sleep like a baby.

…

You are aroused from your sleep with a panting noise coming from your closet. Your room is not that large and you can definitely hear some shuffling close by.

You stay still as if there were a monster beneath your bed. Reaching out into the open darkness, you grab your phone, all the while meticulously taking out the wire from the plug. You read the time from within your blanket.

As your eyes adjust to the light, it reads 1:27am.

The panting noise steadily grows in tandem with the shuffling from your closet.

No way a monstergirl could’ve sneaked through your defenses while you were asleep, it would’ve created a big ruckus which would’ve stirred you from our sleep by then. Your heart-rate rises at a rapid pace as a surge of blood rushes to your head.

You shakily sit up on your bed to shine a light at your closet by using the flashlight app on your phone.

The closet doors were open.

Two red eyes reflected from the phone's light back at you from the dark interior of your closet.

It was Arisa and she was fingering herself right in front of you. Her mouth gaped open, which allowed several strands of drool to drop onto the carpet. She was also sniffing the clothes you just ran in.

You were too scared to ask.

In an instant, she drops your clothes and charges you, her eyes still locked on to yours. She flings your phone from your grasp. Hitting the floor, the phone screen faces down so the room becomes dark again.

In a short struggle, you resign to fate since she surpasses you in raw strength just by pushing you down further into the bed.

And like that, she skips the foreplay and right onto the main course: your dick in her pussy.

“Well, shit” you mutter out loud.


---The Following Morning---


You groggily wake up from your slumber but soon find out that you are locked into place by an unknown entity. You look to your side.

It was Arisa, peacefully sleeping on your bed while clutching one of your arms in a vice-like grip. Her breasts act like a cushion, which presses against your body. And of course, the two of you are naked under the covers of your bed.

The morning light peaks through the window to let you know that it is the start of a new day. You acknowledge it by pulling over the covers.

...

After waking Arisa from her slumber, she apologizes to you for intruding on your home and that she technically raped you against your will last night. You tell her not to worry about it and that you’re fine with staying together for today. She lets out a cute giggle and tightens her grip on your arm. You suspect she somehow got a hold of your apartment keys or that she got through one of the windows. Through your speculation, the ghoul asks you a question.

“Hey, want to skip lecture today? We can snuggle a bit more together. I know you’re tired, but class can wait” she whispers in your ear, her eyes half-lidded to show that she also has just awoken.

“...Sure.” You blurt out. “Let’s do that.”

You both close your eyes and doze off for the rest of the day in each other’s embrace.
