Chapter 5: Home Away from HomeSummary:Miriam seems to be having some trouble at home, so she comes to you for some assistance.
Chapter TextNow apparently, Mei and the other girls had a plan on how to get their concert tickets. From what they told him, Mei was going to use her panda to make money by entertaining and taking pics with the other kids at school.
A part of you was worried that this would inevitably lead to her mom finding out and getting mad at her. But another part was frustrated at yourself for not thinking of something like this when you were her age.
In any case, you were now serving as the girls' chauffeur, picking them up and dropping them off from their 'mathletes' meetings. At least, that was the story Mei was going with, you weren't too sure about the other girls.
The first stop was Miriam's place, you told her that you were on your way to pick her up, so you expected to see her waiting in front of her place as usual. However, once you got there, you didn't see her.
You waited for a couple seconds in front of the townhouse for her, thinking maybe she just needed a minute or two. But then it came upon five minutes, and she wasn't coming out.
You reached for your cell phone, about to dial her number before you suddenly see the front door slam open. Shooting your head to the house, you saw Miriam step out before grabbing the door and looking back inside.
"Here I go! Leaving! And hopping into a car with a total stranger you've never met!" She suddenly called out, making you tense up and perspire. Was this it? Was this the moment you got found out?
You watched the doorway nervously, expecting some kind of parent or guardian to rush out to Miriam's aid, but after a few seconds, no one showed up.
With a frustrated growl, Miriam slammed the door shut before marching toward the car. She opened the back door before hopping in and slamming the door shut. She removed her backpack and set it on her lap after putting her seatbelt on. An annoyed, frustrated look plastered on her face as she stared blankly forward.
You remain quiet for a few seconds, unsure if you should say something or not. Eventually, you decide to go for it.
"You uh…okay?"
"I'm fine. Let's just go." Miriam huffed, feeling the car start moving before driving off. Next would be Priya's place, but that was a bit of a drive from there.
You decide to drop it for now, not wanting to set the other off. Your focus was on the road ahead, but occasionally your eyes would drift to the rearview mirror, glancing at Miriam.
The two of you continue driving for a couple minutes, now stopping in front of a redlight with your turn signal on. You wanted to make sure Miriam was okay, but weren't sure if she was ready to talk.
"…Ugh, I don't get my parents' deal." Miriam finally spoke up, earning your attention.
"What's wrong?" You ask before turning to the right on the street.
"It just doesn't seem like anything bothers them. Like, I could tell them anything and they're just like 'yeah, whatever'." She said in a mocking tone.
"I mean…isn't that good? Maybe that means they trust you a lot?" You suggested.
"It's not like that!" She suddenly shouted, shooting her head up at you, "It's like they just don't care about me! I literally told them someone they didn't know was gonna pick me up and take us somewhere, I didn't even tell them that we were going to school!"
"Do I…do I even matter to them?" She asked, her head now facing the floor of the car.
You tense up slightly, now finding yourself on the spot to try and make her feel better. You do your best to try and think of something, knowing that the longer you remained quiet, the more bad she would feel.
"You…You do matter to them. You have to, if they've been taking care of you all this time." You start saying, "Maybe they're just not too good at showing it, but maybe they don't bat an eye because they do trust you to make the right decision."
"Or maybe they're just too scared to be strict with me." Miriam said softly, her eyes now glancing to the side.
"I mean, I think you're pretty smart and clever and know what you're doing." You added, hoping to lift her spirits.
"Yeah, thanks." She replied flatly, making you feel worried if you said the right thing or not.
"Well…if you need any help, you can always come to me."
Miriam remained quiet for the rest of the trip before you stopped in front of Priya's place, already waiting in front of the door.
Miriam glanced out the window, smiling and giving her friend a wave as she got closer. "Please don't tell the others about this, okay? Please?" Miriam looked back at you.
"Oh, uh, yeah sure." You assure her, a bit surprised by her request. You'd figure she'd want to talk about that stuff with them of all people. But then again, you were in no position to judge or critique.
You watch Priya open the car door before sliding in beside Miriam, pulling her backpack on her lap before buckling in and closing the door.
"You ready for this, Priya?" Miriam asked with a grin.
"I was born ready. Let's get the other girls, pronto." Priya answered before pulling out a book from her backpack and started reading.
After making sure everyone was buckled in, you drove off to Abby's place, Mei's being the last one on your route before heading to the school.
Obnoxious 4-Town music blared in the room as you sat behind the camera, taking pictures of kids at school with Mei in her red panda form. The girls asked if you had any experience in photography before, and now you regret telling them you took a class for it in community college.
But again, it was either doing this or risk getting outed as a sexual predator. So, you continued taking pics of kids with Mei, cuddling up with her or doing silly poses. Admittedly, you couldn't help but be impressed at how effective this all was for them. They were making quite a decent amount of money. If only you weren't stuck hearing this stupid boy band over and over.
But eventually, their time to use the room was coming up, so they had to wrap this up. You watched as Abby and Miriam roughly escorted the last kids out after managing to sell some red panda keychains to them.
"Wooo! Another successful day, girls!" Mei cheered after turning back to normal. The four of them high fived each other before frantically counting all the money they had.
"How much did we make today?" Mei asked, turning to Miriam expectantly.
"We made 120 bucks today, which brings us at 542 dollars!" Miriam cheered, prompting everyone else to as well. "We need 258 left to grab the tickets."
"Well, if we're as profitable as we were today, we'll have those tickets in no time!" Mei cheered, prompting the others to cheer with her.
"And if we don't we know we have someone who will~" Mei turned expectantly towards you, as did the other girls.
"Oh no, I'm not helping you girls out with this. You want those tickets, you gotta earn them yourself." You say very firmly.
"But we can always pay you back~" Mei teased, lifting her skirt up to give you a flash of the pink panties she was wearing. You quickly avert your gaze, prompting her to giggle.
"Besides, I'm sure at the rate we're going, we'll have all the money we need." She assured before turning back to the others.
"And we did it…on our o-o-o-o-own!" She abruptly burst into song, the others joining her.
"Did it on our o-o-o-o-own! Did it on our o-o-o-o-own!" They all began singing loudly, all while you did your best to hide your annoyance with the music playing as you carefully put the camera away. A part of you wondered where they got it from, but figured some questions were better left unanswered.
As soon as you put the camera away, you suddenly felt pulled away, making you yelp in surprise. You then found yourself in the embrace of the four girls.
"And we couldn't have done it without our trusty, handy cameraman!" Mei exclaimed with a grin.
"And chauffeur." Miriam added cheekily, making the others giggle.
You roll your eyes, "Well, I really had no other choice, now did I?" You ask as you find yourself hugging them back before letting go.
"Hey, don't worry, we'll make sure to compensate you for your services soon enough~" Abby pressed herself against you, running a hand down from your chest to your waist, giggling the whole time.
Your face flushed red, taking a step back. "Hey, hey, not at the school, okay?"
Abby's lips pursed into a pout, "Killjoy." She huffed.
The whole time, 4-Town music continued blaring from the boombox they brought in. You find yourself unable to listen to them anymore.
"Can we turn the music off, please? It's been playing for the past hour." You ask, prompting all of them to turn to you with a dramatic gasp.
"Excuse you? This is 4-Town!" Miriam exclaimed.
"I know who they are." You reply tersely. "You guys talk about them all the time."
"And for good reason!" Mei added, "They're one of the best boy bands of all time, and are going to go down in history!" she asserted as she marched up to you, poking your chest.
"Don't you girls have any other music you listen to?" You ask with a scoff, crossing your arms as you look away.
"Why would we?" asked Priya.
"I mean, they're not that great." You huff, prompting another gasp from all of them.
"YOU TAKE THAT BACK!!" Abby demanded.
Mei continued to stare you down, an intense look on her face as she watched you. After a few seconds, her pursed lips turned into a knowing grin.
You glance at her, confused and slightly worried at what she was thinking.
"Ohhh, I get it~" She teased as she sauntered up to you. "You're jealous."
Your eyes widened, "What? Don't be stupid, I'm not."
"You're jealous with how much we like 4-Town~" Mei teased again, poking you in the chest again.
You let out an annoyed groan, "I am not jealous of some stupid boy band."
Miriam playfully nudged you with her elbow, "Hey, don't get your panties in a twist, we still like you a lot. Wouldn't keep you around like this if we didn't." she teased, making you roll your eyes.
"Boy, do I feel lucky." You quip sarcastically.
"Denial of your feelings can only lead to tragedy." Priya chimed bluntly as she draped her arms across your back.
"Yeah, accept that you like us~" Abby finally intervened, resting her chin against your chest. All the girls looked up at you playfully, soft giggle leaving them. The whole time, their stupid 4-Town music blared.
You stare back down at them, cheeks flushed red as you feel them rub and press against your body. After a few seconds, you suddenly march away from them.
"Wh-Whatever! Let's just get you girls home already!" You scoff as you grab the camera case before marching out the door. Even over the music, you could hear them talking about how much fun it was to get you wound up. You continue making your way down the hall and to the school exit you parked closest to. At least now you no longer have to deal with hearing their dumb band.
It was nearly night time, and you were currently dropping the girls off back at their homes. You had to drop Mei off first, or else her mother would throw another fit. And finally, you had to drop off Miriam, who sat in the back of the car, staring out the window. It wouldn't be long before you would arrive at her house.
A part of you felt worried for the young girl, if she really was getting ignored or neglected by her parents, then that was a huge deal. You wanted to tell the others, but you did promise Miriam that you wouldn't. All you could do was try and make her feel better about it.
You were now sitting in front of a red light with her, the sun having gone down a couple minutes ago. You could still see people walking around the city in front of you, though you'd prefer to stay at home and play your games.
"…Did you mean what you said earlier?" Miriam spoke up, prompting you to look at her through the mirror.
"What do you mean?"
"About wanting to help me, you said you'd help me any way you can?"
"Well…within reason." You respond, despite knowing how unreasonable this whole situation with them was. "But yeah, if there's anything I can do, let me know."
"Alright…I'll keep that in mind." Miriam nodded, feeling the car start moving again. Soon enough, she found herself in front of her house, much to her annoyance.
"I'll see you later then." You bid farewell, watching the young girl hop out of the car with her backpack.
"Yeah. See ya later. Goodnight." She waved back before headed to the front door.
You sat in the car, making sure that she actually made it inside before driving off. A relaxed sigh left you as you drove back home. Another day of having to deal with these girls comes to an end.
As soon as you make it back to your apartment, you head to the fridge to pull out some pizza you have left over. You know you should definitely eat something healthier, but you were hungry, and it was available.
The time read 7:24PM, the perfect time to just relax and take advantage of the time between those girls would inevitably bother you again. You sit on the couch, grabbing the remote and turning the TV on.
After switching the input, you decided to turn on your Gamecube, hoping to play some Melee. You then grab the controller, watching the opening cutscene in awe yet again.
Afterwards, you play through the game for what seemed like hours, though only half an hour had passed. You were in the middle of a match before you suddenly heard knocking at the door.
Jolting in surprise, you pause the game before making your way to the door. You peek through the peephole and let out a confused hum at who you saw.
Opening the door, you see Miriam standing in front of you, her backpack slung over her shoulders.
"Miriam? What are you doing here?" You ask before she suddenly makes her way inside.
"I ran away from home. I was sick of my parents, so I'm staying here." She answered tersely before she tosses her bag on the couch.
"What? Miriam, you can't do that!" You exclaim, closing the door before turning to her. "Your folks are gonna get worried and look for you! And if they see you here with me, I could get incriminated!"
"Oh please, I'm sure they don't care." She huffed before sitting on the couch, her arms crossed ass he looked up at the TV. Immediately, her eyes widened in surprise.
"Woah, you have Smash Bros?!" She asked excitedly. "You gotta let me play!"
An annoyed groan leaves you as you pinch the bridge of your nose. This was not going to happen. "No, we are taking you back to your place right now." You say firmly before reaching down to grab her arm.
Miriam shoots her head back at you, a pleading look on her face. "Please? Can't you just let me stay here for a little bit? I really don't wanna head back home." She trailed off, a dejected look on her face.
You stare into her desperate, sad eyes, telling yourself that you weren't going to fall for it. Unfortunately, that's not what happened.
"…Alright, fine. But as soon as I hear about your parents looking for you, you're leaving."
"Good. Then I'll be here forever." Miriam smirked as she relaxed on the couch, her hands behind her head.
You just roll your eyes before sitting back down on the couch, confident that it wouldn't take that long before they tried to look for her. You unpause the game, continuing to play it.
"Hey, lemme play." Miriam whined.
"Not now, I'm in the middle of this mode." You retort.
"Do you have another controller?"
"No, I don't." You answer flatly.
"Lame." She huffed, arms crossed as she leaned back on the couch, now watching you play through Classic mode.
"Relax, as soon as I'm done with this, you can have a turn." You assured, turning back to the TV to continue playing.
It wasn't long before you finished playing the game mode, as soon as you were done, Miriam snatched the controller from you.
"Ah, I've been wanting to play this since it came out!" She said excitedly, "You should really get another controller. Or like a couple so the others can play too."
"Hey, I'm not made of money!" You retort before getting up from the couch and head back to the kitchen.
"You hungry?" You ask, turning to Miriam.
"Shh! I'm tryna focus." The young girl retorted as she played the game, currently playing as Pikachu.
You roll your eyes, deciding to reheat her some pizza too just in case.
Time passed, and soon enough, you realize that it was a little over 9:30 at night. You didn't hear Miriam's phone go off or anything, surely her parents would call sooner or later, right?
In either case, it was starting to get late, and Miriam should be heading to bed soon. She did have school tomorrow.
"Alright, after this match, you're heading to bed." You spoke up, prompting a frustrated whine from the young girl.
"Come on, really? I thought you were cool." Huffed Miriam as she continued playing.
"And there's nothing more cool than making sure that kids like you get enough sleep. Now finish this up so you can head to bed."
"Do I get to sleep with you, at least?~" Teased Miriam.
"No. I'm sleeping on the couch tonight. You'll get my bed."
A groan left Miriam, turning back to the TV and playing the game. As she sat there, she looked around the room, then down the hallway. You got the feeling she had something planned out.
You watched her finish the match, prompting you to reach down and turn off the Gamecube. Miriam got to her feet before heading to the hallway, stopping after a few feet before looking back at you.
"Can I take a shower here too? Haven't had one all day."
"Sure, go ahead." You answered, rolling the cord on the controller up before setting it on top of the console. Just because Miriam had to go to bed early doesn't mean you have to.
Said girl continued to stand near the hallway, watching you expectantly.
"…What? I said you can use it. But all I got is shampoo and soap. Nothing fancy."
"It's cool. I was just hoping maybe you could join me~" She beckoned, eyes half-lidded.
You pinch the bridge of your nose with a sigh, "Miriam, I'm being serious. I'm not doing anything like that tonight." You said firmly.
"I never said anything about doing anything else. I just figured maybe you'd like to try and save some water if we take a shower at the same time." She asserted; a confident smirk remained on her lips.
Your eyes narrowed at the young girl, not buying that at all. But at the same time, she did make a good point. Why bother using water if you weren't going to use it too?
"…Fine." You surrendered, getting to your feet. "But just showering. Nothing else." You assert before starting to follow Miriam to the bathroom.
Once the two of you were inside, you close and lock the door behind you. You waste no time in getting naked, pulling your shirt off before tossing it on the bathroom counter. Following it was your sweatpants and boxers, now leaving you fully naked in front of the girl.
Miriam stood across from you, blatantly eyeing you up as you disrobed. "Man, you look good~" She remarked.
"Yeah, thanks. Now you get naked too."
"And so assertive~" Miriam added before tossing her beanie aside and reaching down to unbutton her shirt. Once she got the last button off, she turned up at you, keeping her shirt closed.
"Wanna see something cool?" She asked.
You say nothing, knowing you didn't have much say in this exchange.
"Tada!" She pulled her shirt apart, revealing her bare breasts for you. But what really caught your eye was what were attached to her nipples.
"Are those piercings?" You ask curiously.
"Heck yeah they are!" She beamed. "Got them a few days ago. They hurt pretty bad at first, but now I'm used to it. Pretty cool, huh?~" She asked, arching her chest forward to truly show off.
"Yeah, they're pretty cool." You remark flatly before forcing your eyes away from them and stepping into the shower.
"Come on, hurry it up, let's just get this done with."
Another groan left Miriam, taking off her pants and underwear too before sliding in front of you, her chest pressed against yours despite how she had almost a foot of space behind her.
"I told my parents about these too, and they weren't even mad about it. I mean, most parents would be upset about their daughter getting piercings, right?" she asked, chin resting against your chest.
"Yeah, I guess. Look, let's get cleaned already." You reach over to the nozzle, turning the water on.
Both of you yelp as you were greeted with cold water raining down on you, slowly getting warmer by the second. Soon enough, it was at a desirable temperature for the two to start getting cleaned.
"Do you not care about me too or something?" Miriam asked, watching as you reached for the shampoo.
"No, I do care about you." You assert before squirting shampoo on your hand and rubbing it in your hair.
"Then why do you seem so eager to want me to leave?" she asked before grabbing the shampoo and using it as well.
"Because you're not supposed to be here, you're supposed to be at your home with your family."
"Well, I'm getting pretty sick of my family, if I'm being honest. And it feels like they're getting sick of me too." She growled as she rubbed her fingers into her curly hair.
"Come on, Miriam, don't say that. I'm sure that's not what they think."
"Then why haven't they called me, huh?! Why haven't I gotten any voicemails or anything from them trying to find where I am?" She spat back at you, her body pressed against yours as she shot a glare. Though, that didn't last long as she suddenly recoiled away.
"Ah! My eye!" She yelped, hand clutched around her head as she turned around to face the nozzle.
"Are you okay?" You ask, worry in your voice.
"Urgh. Yeah, some shampoo got in my eye." She answered flatly, doing her best to try and rub it out.
"You gotta wash it out." you advise, stepping closer to rest a hand on her back.
"Tilt your head back under the water and open your eyes a bit. I know it'll feel weird, but it helps." You assured, resting your hand on her chin to help her out.
Miriam does as she's told, her back against your chest as she arches her head back and tries to open her eyes. Though it proved very difficult, she did manage to crack her eyes open enough to let water trail down onto them.
Soon, the stinging pain in her eyes faded away, a sigh leaving her. "Thanks, I'm good now." She assured, prompting you to let go.
You take a step back, rinsing the shampoo out of your hair before turning back to the young girl. You could see her demeanor change, her head hanging forward while her face sank.
"…You okay?" You speak up.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Just…sorry for snapping at you earlier." She apologized. "I'm just really upset at how my parents have been acting. I've been trying to be positive about it, but it doesn't seem like they even want me at the house. I mean, the 4-Town thing was one thing, but I've been gone for hours and I haven't got one call or message from them." A soft sniffle left her, "Do they even care about me?"
You watch her for a few seconds before pulling her in for a hug, holding the girl close to you. Her body pressed against yours as you stood together in the shower. You could feel her pierced nipples rub against your chest.
"Well, if they don't, then I do." You say firmly and genuinely. Seeing just how much this was affecting her made your heart ache.
"I don't know what's going on with your folks, but I'm always here to help you and make sure you're okay. And you can stay over here for as long as you need." You assure, feeling her pull away to lock eyes with you.
The two of you stare at each other in the shower for a good few seconds before Miriam reaches up to wrap her arms around your neck and pull you in for a kiss. She shoves her lips against hers, immediately forcing her tongue in your mouth.
As much as you know you should stop this before it gets too intense, another part of you can't deny just how much you enjoyed it as well. You decide to kiss back, opening your mouth so your tongue slipped into hers.
You could feel her braces on the end of your tongue, hands now traveling down to rest on her lower back. The whole time, both of you moaned softly into the other's mouths.
Her body pressed and rubbed against yours, her hands running up and down your back, teasing her nails against it. The longer she did this, the more aroused you could feel yourself becoming. It didn't take long for her to realize this.
Miriam pulled her lips away from yours, a smile on them as she looked down. "Oooh~ Someone's excited~" She teased, looking down at your hard, twitching dick.
You stand there, embarrassed and ashamed. "It's your fault." Was all you could say.
"Whoops~ Then I guess I should take care of it~" She teased before turning her back to you and resting her hands against the wall of the shower. Arching her back, she looks back at you with a playful look on her face.
"How about using me to really make sure I learn my lesson?~" She kept her legs spread, exposing her bare sex to you.
All you could do is stare down at her, cock twitching between your legs as your eyes trail up and down the girl's slender physique. You're fully aware how wrong this is, but that doesn't stop you from reaching down to grab her hips and line yourself up to her sex.
The whole time, you remember back to when you said that this would just be a shower and nothing more. You really should have known better.
In the next moment, you proceed to shove yourself inside her with a pleasured grunt, followed by a loud moan from the girl. You don't stop, however, pushing yourself deeper and deeper into her until you're all the way inside. Miriam continued to moan and cry out from having her sex stretched out by you.
Your grip on her hips tightened, nails digging into her hips as you remain still. Both of you take a moment to catch your breath, you needing to get accustomed to how tight she is while she gets used to your size.
After a few seconds, you start pulling yourself out of her, relishing in the sounds she made as you did before stopping halfway out and slamming back in.
Another cry erupted from Miriam, her nails digging into the shower wall while pushing back against your thrusts.
You don't plan on letting up on Miriam, plowing yourself faster and harder inside her. You grit your teeth, muffled moans escaping you while the young girl writhes and shudders in your grip.
The whole time, warm water from the shower head rains down on you two. Your thrusts didn't let up on her for one second, intent on taking her up on that offer. This was exactly what she wanted from you, and you were giving it to her. But you didn't feel the least bit like you were getting used.
"Haaaah! I-I'm close!~" Miriam trailed out, head arching back while her hands bunched into fists against the wall. Eventually her legs started to give out from under her, prompting her to suddenly wrap them around your waist, pulling you in closer.
This only served to further excite you, low grunts and moans leaving your lips as you edge closer to climax as well. You were so close to letting the beast loose, but you managed to keep it under control.
"Gonna…cum!~" Was all you managed to say before driving yourself into Miriam one last time before shooting your load deep inside her. You couldn't hold back a pleasured moan that chorused with Miriam's, echoing in the bathroom.
Miriam's legs tightened as tight as they could around your waist, making sure you had zero chance of pulling away. The feeling of your load shooting deep inside her made the brunette shudder, eyes rolling back into her head. Her sex was overflowing with your release, it seeping out of her and to the shower floor.
Your legs shook as you did your best to carry both of you, it wasn't long before you shot the last drop into her. As soon as you did, you felt your body loosen up, threatening to fall to the floor. But you managed to keep yourself and Miriam standing.
With her face pressed against the shower wall, Miriam's legs loosened their grip on your waist, just barely managing to keep herself propped up.
You watch in worry, and a slight bit of pride at what a mess you left the young girl in. Your seed dripped between her legs and down the drain, the worries about how much water was wasted far from your mind.
"You…you okay?" You exhaled, panting hotly as you take a step closer to her.
Miriam took a few tired breaths of her own, head turned back to face you as her mouth hung agape. She didn't say anything for a few seconds until her lips curved into a grin.
"Man, you're real easy to drag into this, ya know?~" She teased, her back now pressed against the wall as she locked eyes with yours.
An annoyed growl left you, the sight of her acting so cocky starting to make your blood boil. "Well, shame on me for worrying about you."
"Hey, relax dude, I was just playing." She took a step forward, but the combination of her shaky legs and the slickened floor made her suddenly trip forward with a yelp.
Fortunately, you managed to catch her before she could hit the floor. As you looked down at her, she had a genuine smile on her face. You could feel her arms wrap around you as well.
"You're the best, man." She praised with a pleased hum.
"Yeah, yeah, you're welcome." You say with a sigh, pulling her back in for a hug as well. Unfortunately, you could feel yourself 'rising to the occasion' once more.
A giggle left Miriam, "Someone's ready for round 2, I see~" She teased before pulling away, looking down at your hard member.
"Yeah, well we're not wasting anymore water." You suddenly turn off the shower, stepping out and grabbing a towel to dry yourself off.
A disappointed hum left Miriam as she watched you move away, standing in the shower by herself.
"Besides, my bed's much more comfy anyway."
A smile returned to Miriam's face, hopping out before grabbing her own towel to dry off. "You got that right
