Wriothesely's POV

 I opened my eyes to find myself in my bed.

 What happened?

 How did I get here?

 Suddenly, it hit me.

 Neuvillette!

 Neuvillette but not Neuvillette.

 Did I pass out?

 Did he bring me here?

 Could he have brought me back here in the first place? My fist went straight through him, after all-

 Wait.

 My fist did go through him but he seemed more than capable of holding me down.

 That-

 That damn lizard!

 He played me!

 I jumped off the bed to find that bastard only to realize-

 What the hell am I naked?!

 I was wearing nothing other than my boxers.

 With absolutely amazing timing, the door opened and, surprise, surprise, Neuvillette walked in.

 Without even attempting to mask his gaze he gave me a once over before saying:

 "I made breakfast."

 That's it.

 With that, he turned around and left.

 F*ck!

 What the hell?!

 Argh!

 The urge to bang my head against a wall and die was almost irresistible.

 How am I supposed to look him in the eyes after this?!

 ...

 You know what?

 Screw it!

 He was the one who blatantly stared anyway!

 Plus, he's very likely to be the one who took my clothes off in the first place.

 With that thought in mind, I put on some clothes and walked out into the living room to find him sitting on the couch just staring at the ceiling.

 Likely sensing my presence, he turned his head towards me, opening his mouth to speak. Before he could, however, I spoke up first.

 "Why the hell was I naked?"

 As I waited for an answer I walked over to the other couch across from him and sat down, grabbing the teacup next to the steaming pot of tea.

 Did he make this?

 If he did, is it even safe to drink?

 With this guy's hate for tea...

 Questionable, at best.

 And then I looked at the teacup.

 "This is not my cup."

 "No, it's mine."

 "Why is your teacup here?"

 "I expected you to attempt to toss it at my face the second you had it in your hand. I replaced them so you wouldn't be breaking-"
