The Acolyte of Spirits and Curses
Chapter 3: A Great Morning
The aroma of buttered toast, scrambled eggs, and fresh coffee filled the cozy kitchen as the three of them sat around the small dining table.
Arwen and Klein were eating breakfast while Cynthia sat across from them, slowly sipping her coffee.
Arwen cut a piece of her omelette and fed it to Klein "Here, eat properly."
Klein accepted the bite and smiled, chewing quietly.
Cynthia lowered her mug slightly, "So... tomorrow’s the day, huh? The Awakening Rite."
Klein nodded, poking at his eggs with his fork. "Yeah."
Arwen’s expression softened with concern "Are you nervous?"
With a dry chuckle, he replied "Honestly? I am not even sure if I will awaken."
Cynthia shook her head helplessly "Don’t talk like that. You will surely awaken."
Looking at them, he spoke "You both didn’t awaken either, so I don’t have hope."
Upon hearing this, Arwen and Cynthia glanced at each other.
Arwen stood up slightly from her seat and wrapped her arm around his shoulder, pulling him gently into her warmth.
His face was squished between her breasts as she spoke.
"It doesn’t hurt to try, Klein. Even if you don’t awaken today... it doesn’t change anything. You’re still you."
Cyntia noticed Klein enjoying the softness of her breasts instead of listening to her words and chuckled in her heart.
’This greedy guy...’
After they finished breakfast, Arwen stood up and began clearing the table, humming softly as she carried the plates to the sink to wash the dishes.
The moment Arwen’s back was turned, Cynthia quickly grabbed Klein’s wrist and pulled him aside toward the corner of the kitchen, partially hidden from direct view.
Without hesitation, she hooked her fingers under the hem of her loose t-shirt and lowered it boldly, revealing her deep cleavage.
Her dark-skinned breasts strained against the fabric of her bra, nearly spilling out.
Cynthia leaned in close, "If you’re that stressed," she whispered huskily, "I can offer my breasts too. For emotional support, of course."
She even pushed her arms together slightly, making her already impressive cleavage even more prominent.
Klein’s gaze involuntarily dropped to the soft valley between her breasts before he quickly looked back up at her face.
With a sigh, he replied "Stop this, Cynthia."
She smiled teasingly and took another small step closer, almost pressing her breasts against his bare chest.
"What? Scared? You seemed to enjoy burying your face in Arwen’s breasts just now. I’m just being fair..."
She reached up and gently grabbed the back of his neck, pulling him slightly closer to her exposed cleavage.
"Just for a second, Kay... Let me comfort you too-"
*clink* The sound of a plate being placed on the counter made both of them freeze.
"Klein? Cyn? Where did you two go?" Arwen’s voice called out from the sink.
She turned off the faucet and started wiping her hands on the dish towel. "I thought I heard whispering..."
Cynthia pressed even closer to Klein for one second, brushing her softbreasts against his chest as she whispered right next to his ear, "Too bad... we were just getting started."
At the last possible moment, she quickly released her shirt, letting it slide back up to cover herself.
Klein barely had time to compose himself before Arwen walked around the corner.
Arwen tilted her head when she saw them standing close together.
"What are you two doing over here?"
With a shake of her head, Cynthia spoke "Nothing, we were just talking about the Awakening rite."
(⇀_↼‶) Klein looked at Cynthia with a wry smile ’This woman is gonna get me in trouble someday.’

Cynthia was sitting lazily on the couch in the living room with her legs stretched out on the coffee table as she watched a popular drama on TV.
Meanwhile, in the kitchen, Klein walked in quietly.
Arwen was standing at the sink, cleaning the last of the breakfast dishes.
She was still wearing the black tank top and shorts from earlier and her long black hair was tied up in a messy bun with a few strands falling loosely around her neck.
A soft, affectionate smile appeared on Klein’s face as he watched her for a moment.
He walked up behind her without saying a word and gently wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her back gently against his chest.
"Arwen..."
Arwen let out a soft sigh of contentment and leaned back into his embrace.
She continued washing the plate in her hands while enjoying his warmth.
"I like weekends like this... we have extra time to spend together."
Klein’s gaze lowered slightly upon hearing her words and a soft sigh escaped his lips as he rested his chin on her shoulder.
He is 21 and still an University student but Arwen is 25 and working full-time as a Software Developer at a well-known tech company.
’If only I awaken tomorrow, I can make her quit her job and take care of her properly.
Arwen and Cynthia had done so much for him throughout his life.
As soon as they got stable jobs after leaving the orphanage, they took him with them without hesitation.
They rented a small apartment together and worked hard every single day just so he could continue studying without worrying about money or a place to stay.
They cooked for him and supported him even when they were struggling themselves.
He owed them everything.
Klein tightened his hold and one of his hands rested on her waist, while the other slowly slid under the hem of her tank top, caressing the smooth, warm skin of her stomach with gentle fingers.
Arwen giggled and tilted her head to the side, giving him better access to her neck and shoulder.
He didn’t waste the invitation. He pressed his lips against her bare shoulder, kissing it softly before trailing slow kisses along her neck.
His hand slid higher beneath her tank top until his fingers gently brushed against the underside of her breasts. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞
He pushed her bra up, letting one of her breasts out, and squeezed it gently, feeling the warmth in his palm.
"Mmm..." Arwen hummed softly and tilted her head back, resting it against his shoulder as she set the plate down in the sink.
Klein turned her chin and took her lips in a soft kiss.
"Klein..." she breathed against his lips. "If you keep doing that... I won’t be able to finish the dishes."
Pecking his lips, she murmured "Also Cynthia is here, so don’t be naughty."
He gave another squeeze to her breast and brushed his fingers over her nipple, making her gasp.
Her body jolted lightly and he slowly retracted his hand from her tank top.
Arwen turned around fully now, facing him.
Her tank top was slightly disheveled, one strap hanging off her shoulder, and her cheeks were adorably flushed.
She adjusted her bra and pulled her top back down properly, though she couldn’t hide the smile tugging at her lips.
"You’re going to get us caught one day," she scolded lightly, poking his chest with her finger.
"And then Cynthia will tease me for it forever."
Klein caught her hand and brought it to his lips, kissing her knuckles softly.
"Oh, she won’t..."
Arwen shook her head helplessly and turned back toward the sink to finish the remaining dishes.
His gaze slowly traveled downward, staying on the curve of her waist and the perfect swell of her ass in those tight shorts.
Without saying anything, he hooked his fingers into the waistband of her shorts, catching her panties along with them.
"Huh?" Arwen turned her head in confusion. "Kle-!"
-and in one smooth motion, he pulled them both down
Before she could say anything, her shorts and panties were already pooled around her ankles, completely exposing her bare, round ass to the cool morning air.
"K-Klein?"
PLAH!
His palm landed a sharp slap on her right cheek and the sound echoed lightly in the kitchen.
"Ahng-!" Arwen jolted forward, gripping the edge of the sink tightly as a surprised moan escaped her lips.
Klein rubbed the spot he had just slapped, soothing the sting even as he admired the view.
"You’re too tempting... I couldn’t resist."
Arwen’s face burned with embarrassment and she glanced nervously toward the living room entrance, worried Cynthia might walk in at any moment.
"You idiot..." she whispered breathlessly as he gave a firm squeeze to her ass, his fingers digging into her soft flesh.
"Nngh~" Arwen couldn’t hold back the soft moan that escaped her lips.
With a chuckle, he pressed a kiss to her head "Alright then, I will leave now and let you continue the dishes."
She scolded softly "What if Cynthia had walked in?"
Klein leaned down and stole one last quick kiss from her lips.
"Then she would’ve finally seen how cute you look when you’re all shy and turned on," he teased.
Arwen pushed him lightly toward the kitchen entrance, though she was clearly fighting back a smile.
"Go. Before I actually get mad at you."
Klein chuckled and stepped back, "Mhm."
Arwen threw a wet sponge at him, which he dodged with a laugh as he left the kitchen.
Once he was gone, Arwen leaned against the sink, letting out a long, shaky breath.
