On these personal pages, I wanna talk about what the story is and give more details about the plot (obviously without spoiling it).
When it comes to talking, Cassie finds it to be too much work and opts to just think instead. Plus, with ten guys who never leave her alone, it is just a bit better to stay quiet to leave a good impression. Cassie ventures through her twenties as she tries to live through adulthood while also trying to keep her heart beating every time she sees someone she likes.
From the Short Story: Beach Boys
About halfway back to her umbrella, someone called out to her again and this time she saw Hayate and Chris.
Cassie sighed. How is it that all these assholes are here?
“Oh, it’s Hayate.”
“You know him?” Cassie asked.
“Yes, he used to work in the stunt department of our film studio. He works now as a professional teacher in the same department so he doesn’t report to me anymore.”
“Oh…” Was all she could say before they got to them.
“Mr. Wry, nice to see you… but isn’t Cassie a little too young for you?”
“I’d take offence to that, but me and Cassie aren’t here in any way that’s inappropriate.” Hayate chuckled, “But I’ll leave you now.” No, don’t! “Keep up the good work though Cassie,” Ankara said as he walked off.
“Right…” She then looked to the two in front of her. “Before you say anything, can I ask why you two are here?”
“Oh, Keris invited us. She told us you would be here so that made it easy to know what we were gonna do today.”
Cassie just closed her eyes. So you mean to tell me Ankara is here on a business trip and he invited Terumichi who brought along Amai. Akuma leaked that this was even happening and Koto got word, invited Brayleigh who told Akihiko and Shugi about it and you two are here because Keris told you? This has to be a nightmare!
“But I really didn’t think you even wore swimsuits.”
“I don’t, but I had to,” she said.
“See, I told you getting out of your comfort zone was a good thing. Look at how cute you are!” Chris used that as an excuse to touch her.
“I think Cassie should wear whatever she wants. That way she thinks of herself as beautiful and it’ll only enhcnace what’s already there.” Please don’t start this cock fight.
“You’re so corny," Chris began, "who says stuff like that?”
“A gentleman.” Chris rolled his eyes at Hayate, Cassie was about to run off, but as she was stepping back she felt someone’s hands on her arms.
She looked back and saw Akihiko and everyone else she also just ran into approaching her. They all surrounded her and the sight of so many well built and exposed bodies caused Cassie to panic. She just tried to move to no avail.
“Are you okay Cassie?” She heard Akihiko say.
“I-I am but-”
“Maybe she just needs to sit down,” Ankara said.
“Yeah, my lap would be a good seat,” Akuma said.
“You always say stuff like that you pervert. No, Cassie just needs to relax and I can help with that!” Koto said.
“She’d be a bit better if she could just sleep for a bit.” Hayate added.
“On the beach? She doesn’t need sun burn,” Shugi said.
“Oh right, do you have sunscreen on Cassie?” Brayleigh asked.
“I bet she wasn’t even planning on stepping into the sun. Which means I need to take her back to the shade,” Amai said.
“I doubt if she needs someone who’s just gonna stare at her like a piece of meat, I’ll take her back,” Chris said.
“You’re all wrong anyways, she really does just want to sit under her umbrella with her family,” Terumichi said
“Who should stay with you Cassie?” They all said in unison, but by this point they had all begun talking over each other, so even if she could answer she wouldn’t be heard.
Cassie felt like she would pass out soon, but made a mental note to never have all of them in the same room together.
If you liked what you've reading so far, here's chapter 1
This story is something I wrote more as a shitpost than anything else. I randomly wanted to make a reverse harem because I am a total advocate for more stuff aimed and catered for women and other people who happen to like men, and what's better than a reverse harem? Also, I usually dislike harems in general—not just because they're usually for guys—but because the protag is usually an obvlious idoit who can't tell like six people are fighting over them. It's not fun to watch that over and over, so I created this where the protag is aware the boys like her, but she's an anxious wreck and can't even comprehend the concept of dating someone, let alone ten guys liking her.
This was also a good way for me to better define my characters, have fun with their personalities and even make some relationships I never knew I wanted to make!
Of course there's no lore here, this is just a reverse harem lol.
I think the only thing I can put here is the fact that each character is from their own story. If anyone cares, on my story inspos page, I have a list of stories I'm making personal pages for. So, one story named The Demonic Repentance has a MC known as Akuma, he's in here; another named Secrets of a Teenage Man has a MC named Shugi, and he's in here; etc...
Here's a list of them all for anyone's who's curious:
I originally drew a cover for this when I was 20, then like a year or two later, I re-drew the cover to what I have now (still not amazing, but I really liked it).
