Exhaustion. That was the very first thing Jaden felt as conscious thought filtered in. He felt as if he'd run 10 marathons in a row and could hardly move a muscle, not even to open his eyes. Everything hurt. Especially his lower half. That hurt immensely. With a low groan of effort, he tried to push himself up with his elbows. That failed miserable, barely getting him up a full centimeter before he felt his body give out. It did, however, serve to bring his attention to something else. The shifting surface of fabrics meant he was in a bed, the totality of this feeling meant he was naked, and the feeling of weight upon his body meant he wasn't alone. Someone else was there, someone that he could feel was decided female, and their limbs and body were entangled with his own. 

This discovery, understandably, left Jaden rather panicked, though his body couldn't very well express this emotion, still too drained to so much as shiver. At this moment, Jaden had a rather good idea of the type of activity he must've been participating in, and as he took in a deep breath through his nose in another attempt to right himself, he smelled it. The musty smell of sex and sweat permeated the air in thick, lewd layers. This identification brought with it a new sense of alarm, panic, and with it, energy. With a jolt, he bolted upright, eyes snapping open as his mind raced. He feared that in his sleep, Asmodeus had somehow taken control again and forced him to commit more debauched actions. But then he recognized the make-up of the walls, the decor of the room and, when turning his eyes downward, the person at his side.

[color=Ivory]"C-C-C-CLARA!?! WHAT IN THE BLOODY HELL IS GOING ON HERE!?!?!"[/color] He let out a yell, a decision that was immediately regretted as his head rang with the sound of my own voice. Gripping my head, I struggled to separate myself from her, the momentary burst of anger slipping back into confusion and fear of what he might have done. [color=Ivory]"Agh . . I-I'm sorry for yelling, I just- I don't know what happened? Last thing I remember was writing some . . . things on my desk, then everything starts going fuzzy. There was a-a voice and, uh, . . . and . . ."[/color] Jaden's face scrunched up in confusion as he struggled to remember any of the events that might've led him to this current situation, but instead all he got in return was an even bigger headache. Turning his attention to Clara, sapphire eyes filled with guilt, sorrow, and hope for forgiveness as he realized what must've happened.

[color=Ivory]"Oh god. . . It happened again. I promised I'd protect you from him and it happened again on the very next night."[/color] Tears began to streak down Jaden's face as he held himself, backing away from Clara as he curled into a ball, hands in his face as he lamented his lack of control. [color=Ivory]"How could this happen? I didn't drink anything, I didn't even thing about any debauched actions. I just wanted to make things up to you and now. . . now I've simply made the problem worse. What kind of pathetic man breaks his promise to protect someone the day he makes it?"[/color] Jaden would continue to lament his own weakness and foolishness as he tried to curl in on himself even more, unable to cope with the thought that he had once more hurt the only person he truly cared for.
