Ryu's POV
"You're a...demigod," said Jessica in befuddlement. There it was. The big secret I have been keeping from those two for days.
"That's right. I am a demigod," I confirmed in a somber tone.
Jessica stared at me dumbfounded with her mouth agape. Cristina, however, just gave a blank expression as she tilted her head in confusion.
"What's a demigod?" Cristina asked.
"It means that I am half man and half god," I answered straightforwardly with a stone-faced demeanor.
"But that's impossible. Demigods don't exist in this day and age anymore. At least, that's what I believe," Jessica chided in disbelief.
"Yeah, I think you can blame that 'One True God' for that one," I retorted in annoyance.
"Anyways, I should tell you how that's possible to begin with," I said while rubbing my eyes. Crossing my arms, I looked down at the newly installed woodened floor, which glistened more than the last one.
"My father was Hachiman, the Shinto God of War and protector of the Japanese people, while my mother was a miko—a shrine maiden—to the Iwashimizu Hchiman Shrine in Yawata, Kyoto."
Jessica leaned against Christina's ear. She whispered musingly, "That's how it usually starts with gods."
"One day, my father visited the shrine and met my mother while she was purifying the shrine, i.e. sprinkle water around the building to protect it from evil spirits. The two fell in love and after performing coitus, my father left and I was born nine months later," I explained with a sullen glare as I slung my shoulders.
Reminiscing about the day I was conceived filled me with nothing but aggravation and distress. However, I continued to explain because the two wanted to know more about me. I stated, "You can't imagine how angry the priest was when he and the other shrine maidens found out she was pregnant, especially when the priest was my grandfather."
"Why's that?" Cristina questioned perplexedly.
"Well, it's because shrine maidens are traditionally suppose to be unmarried virgin women, similar to the nuns of the Christian church," I answered with a solemn face as I shrugged my shoulders. Then I added, "However, when I came into the world, their opinions changed when they saw a baby strangling a snake with its tiny, bare hands."
"Wow! You were strong back then, too?" Cristina awed in amazement.
"That sounds like something from Hercules," retorted Jessica skeptically.
I replied with a straight face, "Yeah, it does, but that's besides the point." I pinched the bridge of my nose before waltzing over and sitting down between my friends.
Then I finished with a sigh, "After that, my life went downhill like how all of my friends ran away from me because they were terrified of my strength, or when I destroyed a part of the school by accident." I sluggard against the back of the couch with my hands placed on Jessica and Cristina's laps, feeling them tense up from the touch. "Also, in middle school, I told my friends my secret and they assumed I was a Chuunibyo, thinking I was delusional and weird, which was one of the many factors for moving to the States after finishing my first year. Since then, I've kept my secret to myself and tried to keep my strength in check."
I trailed my hands down across my face before letting out a sigh of frustration. I turned my attention to each of the girls and said, "I'm sorry I kept it from you, guys. I just didn't want you two to think differently of me."
Then came something I didn't expect from the two. Wrapping their arms around me, they hugged me tightly as we cuddled sympathetically. My body tensed up from the touch of their breasts against my arms.
"Ryu. You should've just told us about it. We would have understand your dilemma," said Jessica, caressing my hair affectionately with a pitying grin.
"Yeah. I mean, come on. We're the same as you are. Jessica and I have been treated like freaks for a long time. So, we know what it's like to feel like an outsider," Cristina commented. She leaned away, flashing a wide smile as she lifted her legs and sat on the sofa in a seiza position. Grabbing my hand, she continued warmly, "You're our friend, Ryu. We're here for you and we'll help you as long as you need it."
Hearing them say that made me smile. It felt nice being surrounded by people who care about you and it was pretty nice letting this weight I've been carrying for so long to be let go.
I hugged the two back as I whispered, "Thank you. You're the best friends a man could have." The way they ah'd indicated how much they appreciated my gratification.
Then I felt a tear trailing down from my eye and caressed against my cheek. Whipping it from my eye, I got up and proceeded to the bathroom.
I said to the two without looking, "Well, goodnight, girls. I'm going to bed early."
Although it was 6:30 in the evening, I needed the rest. So, to prepare myself for the sweatshop that has become my job. However, for some reason, I had a nagging feeling that I should have just stayed in the living room a little bit longer.

Jessica's POV
There I was sitting on the couch next to Cristina as we both watched Ryu walking into the bathroom. Despite all that jargon Cristina and I had said, I still felt bad for the boy.
"Like, do you think Ryu is going to be okay? We really were totes persistent in wanting him to talk, don't you think?" said Cristina in a quizzical, yet somber, manner. I could tell from the tone of her voice that she was just as concerned as I was.
Shrugging my shoulders, I answered with a sullen expression, "Yeah, we really were, but honestly, Cristina. I'm so sure myself."
I wanted to do something to make him feel better. So, I had to wait for the right time to do so. I waited for 3 hours, sitting and watching TV with the werewolf girl. I had already changed into my sleepwear for comfort. Once Cristina got up and headed into her room, it was the signal for me to initiate my plan. Turning off the screen, I sauntered through Ryu's room and was surprised to see that he wasn't asleep. Instead, he was sitting in front of the screen with his left hand gripping his little friend.
"Jessica, what are you doing here?!" Ryu shouted inquisitively. It was already too late. He wasn't able to hide his indecent act, nor could he hide what was on his laptop.
There were images of busty nude women, raging from blondes, to Latinas, to black girls, cluttering the screen. However, that didn't stop me to take another step towards him because it just made my plan even easier.
"I came into see if you're really okay. I thought you said you were going to sleep early. Why are you still awake?" I questioned, interrogating him while flashing a smirk.
He remained stoic, albeit with his cheeks turning red. He confessed in a tactless tone, "I tried to sleep, but after you and Cristina tackled me and then when you two rubbed your bodies against my arms, I was too aroused to keep my eyes closed. So, I wanted to perform one last act of onanism before going to bed."
"Wait. Do you mean you've already masturbated today?" I said with raised eyebrows.
"Indeed. It was this morning at about 9:00AM. I have a habit of jerking off whenever I have morning wood," Ryu stated without hesitation. For some reason, that fact actually turned me on a little.
I twirled my bang around my finger. Pursing my lips, I looked the boy straight in the eye as my face blushed. I suggested with a stutter, "You know. If y-you need any help, I-I could give you some release."
Ryu's jaw nearly hit the floor. I guess this was the first time a girl made such an offer. His eyes bulged more than his cock, which gotten much harder as it pulsated.
He said in confirmation, "Do you really mean it?"
"Of course. Just leave everything to me." I knelt down and positioned my head over his manhood. Before I could start, Ryu stopped me, worrying about my fangs accidentally stabbing his rod. Luckily, I reassured him that as long as I keep my teeth away, I'd be able to avoid such a hazard. I wrapped my mouth around his shaft and started sucking it in and out in a slow pace. At first, I wanted to truly comfort the boy by genuinely conversing and letting him tell me more for he was still carrying more baggage. Sadly, after seeing that bulge in his pants, my lust instantaneously took over and that was all I could think of.
This was my way of killing two birds with one stone. He was so stressed when he told us his secret. I wanted to help him relax, but I couldn't do it with Cristina potentially budding in. I could tell she was up to something. Besides, I couldn't help but notice how cute Ryu's facial twitches were every time I bobbed my head. Pulling away, I slowly licked the front of his shaft before planting my lips on his head.
"Oh God, Jessica. How are you this good?" he asked. He's not the only one with secrets.
I reached down and pulled up my shirt, revealing my bare breasts in front of the boy's eyes. I said, "I know I'm not as well endowed as Cristina, but you can focus on them while I keep sucking, if you like?"
Right when he nodded in comply, I placed my lips back around his rod and continued moving my head. The taste of it was very delectable. Even the scent emanating from his pubic airs excited me as I increased my motion. Reaching my hand into my pants, I stuck two of my fingers right into the folds of my womanhood, moving them in and out while feeling it dripping wet and soaking through my pajama pants. I could feel the shaft pulsating, meaning that he was ready the blow. However, I didn't pull away and let him blow his load straight into my mouth. It was at that moment that I climaxed, also.
