Dirty Talk/Three Brats/June 19th, 2021/Family Secrets/Milka convinces her friends that she's feeling fine

Heidi, you're overreacting. I'm feeling perfectly fine.

But Milka, he -

What? Do you WANT me to be depressed over it? Nuh-uh. No chance.

Heidi sounded a bit worried, and now I'm worried too.

Just tell me, please…

*sigh* That's super sweet of you two, and I love you for it… But the truth is, I just got startled because Danny arrested us, and I… I kinda may have cried a little… That part is true…

He arrested you two?

Handcuffs and all.

Yeah, but it honestly was just roleplay that just a little bit out of hand… It's not like we were really in trouble or anything…

I'm just a little embarrassed over it, okay? I feel like I kinda overreacted two days ago…

And then Heidi took offense to me crying a little, and then she overreacted in her own right… It kinda became a bit of a shitshow after that…

I saw how she reacted. I know that wasn't just a simple overreaction. She was crying in my arms for a full fucking hour after Danny dropped us at her home, and then sobbing for another one, for heaven's sake… I've never seen her like that before…

So could she really be over it? I can't even tell whether she's lying to save face, or being honest. I know appearances mean a lot to her, but then again, she's not really a person who tends to stay depressed over anything either… Although that could also just be her putting up appearances… It's so damn hard to pierce through her head to see what she's really going through…

I guess it doesn't matter in the end if she doesn't want to talk about it… I kinda wish she would be more honest, but that needs to come from her, not from me…

Besides, I was in a bad emotional state overall when Danny caught us, and not in any kind of mood to play games… Because I was also worried about you, Emmy.

Worried for me?

Yeah, because we weren't sure what was going to happen to you. Like, we all saw what happened. We weren't meant to see it, so I feared it could've freaked you out. It even made me worried that they could make you do something too extreme.

I guess most of all I was afraid they could've blamed it all on you, or on US, even though they're the ones who fucked up by doing that stuff in the open, in broad daylight.

That's funny, because my mother said something like that too.

Did she really?

Yeah, she just straight-up admitted it was their fault and said I wasn't meant to see it. She didn't even attempt to make excuses. She was also worried for me.

Your mother honestly sounds like an honest person then…

Honest maybe, but also stupid.

Oh, come on now…

Am I also misjudging her mother? Perhaps my anger towards her is misplaced then. Like, I know Danny is shameless, but maybe not everyone associated with him is…

Still, in the end, we were all just overreacting. I overreacted, and Heidi overreacted. Just like she's overreacting right now about that tattoo star on your wrist.

I'm not really overreacting about THAT though.

Yes you are! It's just a pink star! Who cares?

But it's not Emilia's pink star…

Letting someone draw on you is kind of a huge deal…

Yeah, I see where you're coming from… I was shocked too…

But the way I see it, we should be happy that her mother's embracing her! Most parents would take grave offense to having their young daughters do this stuff. So don't beat her up for it, okay?

Well, I guess that's one way to look at it…

Still, my point is, I'm totally fine! In the end, it was just a little roleplay he had for us! You two don't have to worry about me at all!

Well, if you say so…

I just got really worried for you after what Heidi said…

No need, but I appreciate the concern!

But like I said earlier, I'm in a hurry. Papa called, and he's waiting at the store to pick me up. I really, really want to help you, but it has to wait.

Just few more minutes, okay?

But I wanna spend time with Papa…

Ten more minutes, okay? We need to make something sure with Emilia.

Fine…

I thought there was nothing left to discuss.

I still haven't agreed to help you.

Are you… Still angry at me over something?

*giggle* Well, maybe not like "angry" angry, but…

If you want my help, I have conditions!

Let's… just hear it then, I guess!

Well, first of all… Hmmmm…

Do you remember the discussion you and I had in your room three days ago? What was it about again?

Well, we talked about a lot, didn't we?

No, no, it was something a little bit more… Specific…

I think there could be a hint somewhere in our group messages…

Okay, okay, just a second…

Wait, so scrolling up and reading all this stuff… I can't find anything that could be a hint…

…No, wait just a minute…

Heidi: Oh right, how did your day end up being, my young student?
Emilia: I had fun. I'll tell you the details in person.
Milka: lmao "my student" she says!
Heidi: Fine, "our student" then.

Now you see it, right? Why not read it aloud?

"Our student…"

Ooooh, I like the sound of that! Say it again, and with enthusiasm!

"Our student!"

Mmm-hm! And that makes you…?

Your student.

Let's keep it that way, okay?

H-huh?

"Thou shalt have no other gods before me…"

Quoting bible now…?

Yes, you see, we really, really like you, and we don't want anyone else to steal you from us. Not even your own mother. We, as in Milka and I, want to be sure that when you say "WE", you mean "US" three, not you and your mother. I know you love her, and she is a sweet woman, but it's better for you to learn from your peers.

Yep! You're all ours!

Sheesh, not even my mother made me choose between her and these two…

But I see where they're coming from, and I don't want to offend them either, so… Maybe I can just keep learning from both… Try to appease both sides, so to say…

Your conditions are acceptable, miss sex counselor.

Good! And I'm really, really sorry I raised my voice at you, okay?

N-no, don't be…

S-so are we done, or…?

I said ten more minutes, didn't I?

It's been like five, so close enough! See you tomorrow!

See you tomorrow then!

Call me in the morning, okay?

Oh, and just one more quick thing.

I forgot to say, I also have one condition…

Hahaha… N-now you tell me?

You're gonna help me mess with Danny.

Mess with him… How?

I wasn't lying when I said it was just roleplay, but I wasn't lying when I said he made me cry either.

I thought you said everything's fine.

Everything IS fine, but I still think he deserves comeuppance for "arresting" us, and you're BOTH gonna help me.

Trust me on this. Messing with him is going to be so much fun…

That actually sounds like fun…

Yeah, I wanna mess with him too! Count me in!

Good…

I'm gonna tell you two exactly how we're gonna do it tomorrow, okay? After we're done helping YOU, Emmy…

---

Oh? Back so soon?

Yeah. They'll help.

Really?

…That's terrific!

You seem a little surprised…

Well, I am… Maybe a little…

I was wondering if they'd trust me after what happened two days ago…

Oh, actually, I wanted to ask you about it.

They finally explained everything that happened…

. . .

And it got me wondering, did Danny ever actually tell you what he did to them?

I think he spoke something about "An Arrest Roleplay" -

…Seems to match…

- And that it didn't go to plan. The girls apparently weren't even wearing the stars when he found them.

I'm almost afraid to ask, but…

Did something… terrible happen?

N-no, I don't… think so?

…She hesitated a little…

All Danny said is that he didn't end up having sex with either of them, but didn't go into specifics. Just that they didn't want it, which kind of made him not want it either. I guess that's what he meant by it not going to plan, as he was looking forward to "punishing" them in his own way…

Okay, thanks.

Why are you asking? Did those two tell you otherwise?

No, I was just making sure, just in case I got confused over something.

★ Anyway, take this star off of me.

Huh? Why?

Because I can't wear it at home! Remember?

Oh… You're not gonna hang out with your friends after all?

Milka can't hang out, and Heidi decided to show her back to the store while I came here to tell you. I might still hang out with Heidi later.

Alright, I suppose… Although I'd prefer if you'd get some fresh air.

I can walk go Gunnar again! But preferably without the star, please.

Okay, I'll show you how to get rid of it with rubbing alcohol, sweetie.

---

Oh, a message from Heidi? What's this now…?

I came across an old acquaintance, and she wants to spend time with me. I feel like I can't refuse, so…

I'm terribly sorry! 😭😭

Huh…

*tap tap* "Well, maybe I could hang out with you two?"

She's a little shy, so that's probably a no.

So see you tomorrow! I promise! 🙏

Well, this stinks… I guess it's a Saturday night at home then…

I'm just gonna glue my ass to the sofa and watch TV until I get bored…
