25 Cautious 09

“Hey Sun,” Sara says sweetly, Sun coming to. Markus was still sleeping. It looked like his permissions allowed Sara to give him a nudge to wake him up. It was hard to pinpoint, but Sun could almost tell the moment that he was back in the body. It was quite literal when named RagDoll.

“How’d you sleep?” She said to both of them. It looks like she didn’t take a nap.

“Jesus, that was realistic. I can remember my dream so vividly,” Sun was astounded, it was so rare for them to be able to recall anything at all, but it was still firmly in their mind.

“Yeah, the reason you get disconnected to SinglePlayer is to give you full control of the map. Really, you never leave the Virtual World. The AI listens to your mind, so a dream element will actually show up,” Markus rubs his eyes, yawning.

“Hold up, you’re saying that dreams are just playing a game?” Sun’s face scrunched when they pondered what that could entail.

“If you want to record your dream or, heck, even go back to the dream worlds when awake, it’s possible with the device,” Sara lays back down between them.

“Incredible…” Sun sighs, cuddling up to Sara. Here they were, in a virtual bed much like the real one, and it felt just as good. Better even, Sun swearing that one of their automatic boosts was kicking in. Touching Sara was like nothing they’ve ever felt, her smooth skin was like velvet under their fingertips.

“Are you comfortable with this?” They asked, already knowing that Sara loved this type of physical affection.

“Yeah, it feels really nice,” She said, her eyes giving away that she actually was tired. Sun had no doubt that she stayed up to make sure nothing happened to her RagDoll. Of course nothing would happen, but their offhand comment about boundaries made Sara hypervigilant.

At some point, Sun could sense the shift as Sara disconnected. It looked like her rules let them keep tickling her for a bit longer, but their arm quickly got tired.

Sara felt Sun’s presence in her sleep. It wasn’t as obvious as a direct touch, but their touch became a warm echo as they dreamt. The dream was back and forth between Sun and Markus, and Sara woke up in a heated state when the dream turned lewd. Those fantasies loomed on the edge of Sara’s consciousness and it was getting harder to keep that from either of them.
