<h2>Prologue</h2><hr>
<p>It's your birthday.</p>
<p>It's.<br>
Your.<br>
Birthday!</p>
<p>Across the room, the faint yellow numbers of your alarm clock threaten your spontaneous celebration.</p>
<p><span class="pastelyellow">6:51 AM</span></p>
<p>You roll over carefully so as not to wake your bed-mate, and take a peek at her sleeping face. Moving a few billowing strands of her hair allows you to see her peaceful expression. It belies the scolding you'll get if you wake her up...</p>
<p>1) [[Snuggle and wait.|Nice]]<br>
2) [[It's your birthday, nothing can stop you.|Naughty]]</p>

<p>You decide not to push your luck. You still have the whole day ahead of you and who knows how much luck you'll need.</p>
<p>You gather up the covers neatly around the both of you and snuggle close to her chest. Her RE-Cotton tank top might hide her bosom from your eyes but it can't hide her softness from your face. Her gentle breathing presses you in and out.</p>
<p>This was definitely the best choice, you think.</p>

<p>A plaintive beeping fills the air and your companion stirs to life.</p>
<p>She bends her head down to the top of yours and gives you a kiss before whispering, "Happy birthday."</p>
<p>Scooting to the middle of your too-small twin mattress, she pulls you over and runs her hands under your too-large T-shirt and over your back, scratching lightly. One hand reaches down and pulls your shorts down slightly before massaging the long, thin imprint of your waistband's former home.</p>
<p>If you could spend the rest of your life like this, you would, but unfortunately, the alarm won't turn itself off.</p>

<p>You look yourself up and down...</p>
<p>Your dark hair dances along the edges of your traces, which swirl around the back of your head, down your spine, and along your arms.</p>
<p>These contrast with your pale skin. Rose says that you need more sunlight, but she ''also'' says that being outside is pretty dangerous, so it's probably okay.</p>
<p>Your big brown eyes are definitely the star of the show that is your face, but the supporting cast are no slackers either.</p>
<p>Without these, you'd find it difficult to catch anybody's attention at only five feet (or 152.5 cm) tall.</p>
<p>Rose is always happy to remind you that she is five feet, seven inches (or 170 cm), a D cup, ''and'' pretty.</p>

<p>After you've finished washing up, you slip on your chip bracelet to your right wrist. Without the thumbprint of your left hand and a whisper of your secret password "dookie," it is impossible to remove without force.</p>
<p>The chip bracelet connects to your traces like an extension of your body and allows you to make calls, play games on its tiny screen, buy things...</p>
<p>It's probably more useful than anything else you own, even clothes. Heck, it can buy clothes and it ''is'' clothes.</p>
<p>Months of abuse have gradually worn down the smiley face pattern on the bands. You're pretty ''perceptive''. You think Rose might gift you new ones today.</p>

The broom and mop stand against the wall in the water closet. Some generic dish soap sits near the sink and some towels lie above it. The small handheld vacuum hides underneath the bed but it's not fully charged.
You go through the room putting everything back into its place, wiping the counters, and sleeping the floors. When the vacuum is recharged you take it and nab a couple dust bunnies from the corners of the room and from beneath the bed.
A pile of laundry grows in the hamper but you don't have the money to go to the small laundromat on the first floor so you leave it.

<p>You won't continue with this. It's just not enough.</p>
<p>You're going to get the money to get Rose the present to get her to love you. Or something.</p>
<p>The next time you go to work, you'll look for something else that pays a little bit better.</p>
<p>At least you're done with work <em>for now</em>.</p>

<</struct>>Rose sleeps gently beside you. That is, if sleeping "gently" also includes groping your butt!
From the peaceful look on her face, she probably isn't doing this on purpose. Probably.
But on purpose or or not, the hand on your rear feels really good and you wouldn't mind a little bit more...
Your hands glide over the top of your companion's RE-Cotton tank top, slowly kneading and pulling. Her slow breathing calms any fears you might have had and you feel your confidence swell.
You slip one hand under her top and gently grope her breast. The soft flesh fills your hand as you begin to tease her nipple. A pretty moan fills the quiet...
Your long brunette hair is tied in a braid that reaches the small of your back, a stark contrast with your pale, unblemished skin. Rose says that you need more sunlight, but she ''also'' says that being outside is pretty dangerous, so it's probably okay.
Your big brown eyes are definitely the star of the show that is your face, but the supporting cast are no slackers either: a small, button nose; rosy, if slightly chubby, cheeks; two small dimples; and cute, pouty lips.
1) [[Wait till Rose wakes up.e
2) [[Try to enjoy yourself.|]
3) [[Share this good feeling.|]<<struct>>
