My girlfriend is a bug lover. Her favourite animal crossing character is that gay punk lizard with a net, whatever their name is. Her room is filled with piles of books on various genera of any six- to eight-legged freak, even though she's committed what's between those pages to memory long ago. And to make it worse, the walls of our apartment are covered in lightboxes with exotic pinned butterflies and beetles with their poor little wings spread as if in permanent flight. She even has to show off the obsession on her person: always dressed up in black, with her spider earrings, her centipede necklace, and her fishnets that show off her supple curves along with her tattoos of the creepiest crawlies. Needless to say, she is profoundly autistic.
I don't really care for bugs. Before I started dating her, I honestly couldn't stand them, but I've grown kinder. I had to. She would throw a fuss over something as little as killing a spider or setting out ant traps. And I'd have to console her, or "apologise" to the bugs somehow. Now I'm just as much of a bug lover as she is, though not by choice. It's all worth it in fairness: She's so stupidly hot. An adorable little short stack, thick in all the right places, and a tight ass pussy to match. not to mention her head game is *unbelievable*. And she's so needy, too. God. She's like a dog when I come home from work, completely naked and pawing at my jeans to get at the hard-on that's always growing by the time I get to the door. Pavlov's puppy girl and all. Since she's so unemployable, she's basically my housewife, although she's not too good at keeping up with chores either. For the most part, when I'm not there she either intently watches her fire-leg tarantula barely move for hours, or she's online arguing on invert forums.
I fucking love her. I often feel like I don't deserve her, even when she acts up.
Yesterday was different, though. When I came home she wasn't at the door, she was in her bedroom. Er, we have separate bedrooms. It's an autism thing, I think? She doesn't like sleeping in the same bed as me. It's an extra 500 on the rent but whatever makes her comfortable. Her door was locked so I knocked and she came up to the door and cracked it open. She was hunched over awkwardly, sweating bullets. Her piercing hazel eyes were wide open.
"Hi.", she squeaked.
"Hi. Are you okay?"
"Yes, I'm busy. I'm going to shut the door ok?"
"Okay. I love you."
"Love you too."
And like that, she squeezes the door shut.
I start making dinner for us over the next hour, just some classic fettuccine alfredo with fresh pasta etc. When I set our little table with her favourite meal and call her name, I hear her get up, hesitate, and then watch as she meekly emerges from her bedroom. Upon retrieving the wine we had set aside for tonight I see that it's already been open.
"Babe, why is the wine open already?"
"I got thirsty, sorrry."
