Testing My Luck in the New World

"Master..."

Still half asleep and ready to stay that way for all eternity, a sweet voice called out to me through the haze, but my eyes remained glued shut. No matter how much sleep I may have had last night, it wasn't nearly enough. I always had trouble waking up in the morning, due to always tossing and turning night away. This was just more of the same.

I was probably hearing things. Or, more likely, I left my computer monitor on again and some video or another started playing on the speaker once Lucy accidentally, or purposefully, knowing her, pulled the headphone jack out of the tower. If she hadn't jumped on me yet, then she wasn't ready for food.

Deciding this meant that it wasn't time to get up, and vaguely remembering that it was Saturday, I rolled onto my side and away from the voice. Hopefully, the video playing wasn't a dirty one. I didn't want to wake up and realized I had a wet dream at my age.

"Master...? It's morning."

When I didn't respond to the cute, but now slightly bothered voice, which now sounded close enough to make me feel as though my headphones hadn't come unplugged, but that they fell onto my pillow, I felt a cautious hand tap my shoulder gently before it rocked me.

Wondering where it was that Lucy gained enough strength to actually move my body, I opened my eyes and was at first deeply confused and a little scared of the beautiful face that greeted me.

Her emerald green eyes, framed by an already brushed field of chestnut brown hair, glowed in the morning sun where she looking down on, no looked at me. The difference was unmistakable. I recognized those eyes at once, but this situation was something that could never have happened.

But when I remembered that the bed I was laying in wasn't actually the one that stole so many hours of consciousness from me back on Earth and, more importantly, who the gorgeous girl shaking me awake was, my eyes widened much like I'm sure they did moments before that truck hit me.

"Geez, Master," Yua said, thumping her hands on her shapely hips. Her tail snapped at the air to emphasize her discontent. "You're the one that said you wanted to get up early."

"I'm up. I'm up," I said, forcing myself into as sitting position.

Knowing full well that the sweet words whispered directly into my brain to tempt me back to sleep my ear belonged to the pillow behind me, I threw off the blanket to let the morning chill keep me from falling asleep again. The moment it did just that, I scratched at my stomach and yawned, then pointedly looked down when my fingertips felt a set of rigid and easily defined abs instead of the flabby mess my old body had become. It was a sensation I never felt back on Earth even when I was at my best, but I wasn't too sure if I should be proud of it, given that it was a freebee from the Goddess that I didn't even ask for.

When I finally managed to rub the sleep out of my eyes, I saw that Yua had gotten out of bed first and was cleaning up the mess she made with her suitcase. She apparently decided to get dressed before waking me, as she was once more wearing the same hastily thrown together clothes as yesterday. It was probably more to save herself some embarrassment than it was to keep me from watching, but I couldn't deny that I was disappointed to have missed it.

I tossed my legs over the side of the bed and with their movement, I felt the unpleasant sensation of the leather pants I had gone to bed in scrunching up in a few uncomfortable places. I suddenly remembered the sleepy thought I had about the potential wet dream and my attention immediately shot down to my crotch.
