Serafine blushed and hid her face behind her hands, backing away from her best friend.
Fuck, she thought, what am I going to do? What'll she think of me now? What if Renni hates me?
Click.
Serafine stiffened at the out of place sound. She parted her fingers, seeing Renni standing in front of her with a cellphone in her hands and a wicked grin on her face.
"Wh-what are you doing!?" Sera asked, embarrassed all over again.
Renni's grin broadened. "Oh, you know. Some incentive is all. I wonder what people would say if they saw this?"
Serafine felt a wave of cold through her veins. She paled as she reached out for the phone, but Renni kept it away. "D-delete that! Please, you can't show that to anyone, Renni! Come on, this isn't funny."
But the short girl simply wiggled out of the stall, her skirt back up around her hips, though her top was a mess and her hair wild. "No way, Sera! Tell you what, if you don't want anyone to see these, you gotta give me that dick whenever I want it. That's pretty fair, isn't it? Meet me at my place tonight, m'kay?" Renni laughed, walking away.
Serafine fell to her knees, blushing in indignation and embarrassment. How could Renni do this? Weren't they best friends?
Sera bit her lip. Of course, she knew how Renni could do this. Because Renni always did stuff like this. Whenever a guy caught her eye, she'd do whatever to sleep with them, keep them around for a while, then she'd drop them. Whether they were with someone or not interested, didn't matter, Renni always had some way of getting them to sleep with her. And now Sera knew how that was; blackmail.
Sera punched the stall, then gasped as it hurt her hand. Eyes stinging, she stood and started getting dressed, cleaning herself up and washing her face in the sink. She waited a few moments before leaving the bathroom, heading back to class. Thankfully, Renni wasn't there.
Rue gave her a curious look, but Sera waved her off, telling the Demon they'd talk about it later. There wasn't much time left of the lecture, but Serafine couldn't focus on the lesson despite missing much of it anyway. When Professor Burkhard dismissed everyone, Serafine scurried away to the library, dragging Rue along with her.
The campus library had sound-proof rooms for studying in, though the glass walls offered little privacy. Right now, though, the library was empty with most people in lectures. Serafine slammed her bag and books on a desk, throwing herself into the seat and burying her face in her arms.
She felt so betrayed. Renni was supposed to be her best friend, but she was willing to hurt her like this? Sera rubbed her hands against her eyes, feeling Rue hugging her. Sera sniffled, giving the succubus a hug and feeling her rubbing her back.
"What happened? You and that girl were gone for a while and she never came back. Did you two have a fight," Rue questioned softly, sitting in a chair beside Sera.
Sera sniffled, telling the Demon everything that happened. Azareuleth nodded along, not interrupting, though she frowned. "So, if Renni spreads this picture of you, that'd be really bad, correct? So, rather than go along with it, why not pursue legal action?" Serafine tilted her head at that, earning a smile from the Demon. "At a minimum, this has to count as a Class A Misdemeanor, and could even be a felony punishable by years in prison or a hefty fine. What, don't look at me like that. Demons are all about rules, so we study your laws when we're young. We can't exactly go around making deals without being able to honor them or understand what we're getting into. Here, I'll help you."
Sera bit her lip as the two women began to plan how to handle this situation. Tonight, they'd go see Renni and handle this.
The rest of Sera's classes passed without much to note. However, she did notice several normally empty seats were occupied in her classes about psychology and biology. Rue said that Demons frequently attended human classes to learn in their free time.
Serafine left the campus around five, after telling her mom she'd be home late. Renni lived only a few blocks from the campus, in the student apartments. Serafine tried to keep her head down, but Rue walked straight-backed and ready, prodding Sera to keep going.
When the two reached Renni's apartment, Sera knocked on the door. Renni's voice inside said it was open, so Sera walked in, closing the door after Rue. The Succubus smiled, patting Sera's shoulder. Sera nodded, then walked into the apartment.
Renni wasn't in the living room or kitchen, but Sera knew where to find her. The light was off in the bedroom, but Sera pushed the door open anyway.
Renni was sitting on the bed, wearing a transparent negligee. Sera tried not to notice Renni's pert breasts or shaven nethers, instead focusing on the woman's grin.
"Wow, you actually showed up? That scared of what everyone will think when they see that picture?" Renni asked, relaxed.
"You're not going to show anyone that, Renni. I'm asking you to delete it, please."
"Hmmm... Nah. If you want me to delete it, you gotta be my fuck buddy for now on."
"I'm not going to let you blackmail me into doing whatever you want, Renni. I asked you to delete it because we're friends, but failing that, I'll have to get the police involved. I don't want to do that."
