A/N: After a small break, I decided to continue this story after seeing so many Celestia Ludenburg fans begging for fanfics, so I decided to give the addicts their fix. Lemon ahead, so you have been warned xD

Underneath the Surface...

"Huh? I-I don't know, Celes-chan, this is a little sudden...," Naegi said, feeling really nervous about what her intentions might be. With the possible exception of Kirigiri, Celes is the best at hiding emotions and manipulating others.

"Oh? Well I suppose, but I don't usually go to sleep for another 3 or 4 hours from now. Why are you so nervous? You don't think I would try to do THAT, would you? hehehe~," she chuckled, laughing.

"Of course not, I wouldn't be able to forgive myself to take advantage of a woman while she's drunk. Besides, that wasn't the only reason why I didn't want you to stay," he said.

"You're worried I'll try to kill you in your sleep, aren't you?" she said rather directly, yet still keeping her smile.

"Actually, that's exactly it. No offense, Celes-chan, but since you're the best at manipulating and deceiving people, it wouldn't come as a surprise."

"Oh, I see...," she said, the smile fading to her previously somber look. "Well, I suppose it's only fair. I guess I'll go to bed...," she said with a frown, taking her hand off of Naegi's and she headed back to her room.

As she opened the door and was about to step into her room, she felt a hand gently grab her own.

"Naegi-kun?" she asked questioningly, with a look of surprise and a slight blush on her face.

"Well...I figured it would be better if I stayed in your room instead. I don't want to leave you alone, and I honestly feel safer being in your room, with you. I don't think you would try to kill me in your room," he said with a slight smile. She noticed he was blushing a bit as well. She let out a small chuckle and a real smile this time.

"Maybe I should get you drunk more often, Naegi-kun. You would never initiate something like this on your own, after all," she said, slowly pulling him into her room.

As Naegi entered her room, he saw that she had a lot of girly but dark objects decorating her room. The room itself lingered with a very pleasant aroma, probably perfume.

"Looks like you made yourself at home here," he said, looking around.

"Well of course! I did tell you I planned on living here, didn't I?" she said. Naegi honestly wasn't sure if she was being serious or not, but decided, at least for now, she was being truthful.

"Well, I suppose I should ask: why did you want me to spend the night with you, Celes-chan?" he asked.

"Well...," she paused, trying to find the right words to say. She's not used to opening up to people like this; her life as a professional gambler always made her weary of people. "I wanted to spend more time with you, Naegi-kun. I don't know why, but I feel more...secure when you're around," she says, sitting on her bed, which Naegi noticed was better than his own. He assumes all the women got better furnishing.

"I see...well, I'm glad I can help. I don't want anyone getting scared with this situation we're all stuck in," he said.

"Aren't you scared, Naegi-kun?" she asked.

"Of course! But I won't let something like fear control my life. I believe that those who can push forward and conquer their fear are people who can truly live happy lives!" he says confidently. "This situation is scary for all of us, but I will find a way out for us. I want to save all of us if I can, but with things as they are...I don't think I can save everyone," he says, looking down at the ground. He really hopes no one else gets killed, but with how Monokuma keeps manipulating people, he knows it's only a matter of time.

"That's why you're my only C rank, Naegi-kun!" she said with her bright smile. "Any other person, I can manipulate and get them to say or do whatever I want. With you, that's not exactly the case. That's what makes hanging out with you fun! Hehehe~!,' she said cheerfully.

"That's not exactly true...if it were, I wouldn't have stayed the night here or have a drink with you," he said. He wonders if it really was his decision to stay here with her. "I guess you can manipulate me too, huh?"

"I can manipulate anyone, Naegi-kun, but you're the only person I haven't been able to manipulate completely. I've had people hurt or even killed without much effort. It's amazing how many gullible guys there are out there who get suckered in with a cute smile and some pretty words!" she told him. "But you wouldn't kill or even hurt somebody, no matter how much I tried. You wouldn't be much of a person if you did everything I said, now would you?" she said, tilting her head.

"Heh, I guess not," he said with a sheepish smile. He looked and saw that her hand was still on top of his, and his previously slight blush has gotten a bit more apparent. Celes looked up couldn't help but let out a slight giggle; it was cute how he was really nervous around her.

"You don't have much experience with girls, do you Naegi-kun?" she said teasingly.

"Well...no," he said bluntly.

"You wouldn't happen to like guys, would you?" she said, teasing him some more.

"Of course not!"

"Then why haven't you had a girlfriend up until now?" she asked, this time seriously.

"Well, my luck with women isn't so good. The only girls that I like even a little bit either already have boyfriends or have no interest in someone like me. For someone who has the title of Super Duper High School Luckster, I sure don't see much luck going my way."

"Hmmm...," she said, deep in thought. She thought it was pretty sad on his part; anyone who can't hookup in high school are generally considered losers. She doesn't like hanging around those type of people, but she does like spending time with Naegi.

"Something on your mind?" he asked, concerned. Celes has been fairly more emotional than usual tonight, and he's genuinely concerned about her.

"Well, Naegi-kun, people who can't get boyfriends or girlfriends in high school are pretty pathetic. Naturally, as my C rank, that is unacceptable. Therefore, I have come up with the perfect solution!" she said cheerfully, and hopped off the bed to start digging through her drawers.

He was confused as he watched her look for whatever it was she was looking for. When she got on her knees as she was searching the bottom drawer, she was faced away from him and his pulse got a bit quicker when he caught a glimpse up her dress. Seeing her cute little butt started getting him excited, and now he was focused on hiding his problem, which was getting larger by the moment.

Celes finally pulled out a bottle and Naegi looked at it questioningly. "What's that?" he asked.

"This is one of my favorite oils that I like to use. It's one of the most expensive oils from France. This bottle alone costs about 100000 yen, but a girl has to enjoy herself, don't you think?" she said with a giggle.

"I still don't know what you plan on doing with the oil though."

"Simple, I'm going to jerk you off!" she chimed.

You could hear the silence that followed in the room. Those words took about 5 seconds to process through his brain through sheer and utter shock, while he stared, bewildered, at the smiling Celes.

"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!?" he screamed. He was visibly starting to tremble.

"How silly, Naegi-kun; I'm sure you can hear. I said I was going to please you with my hand," she said. Naegi couldn't believe at how calm and straightforward she was being about this. He was sure this was breaking the laws of nature or something.

"B-but why!?" he asked.

"Because as my only C rank here, I won't have my faithful knight bear the shame of not knowing a woman's touch. You should feel privilaged!" she said, reaching for his pants, but Naegi backs away from her.

"I-I'm not sure if I should be doing this. I mean, we're both drunk and-"

"But your little friend here seems to say otherwise," she said, giving a playful little slap to his still increasing member. "You should be happy, I've had men brutally beat each other for much less than this," she said with a smirk.

"I don't know, this doesn't feel right," he said. She narrowed her eyes at him for a moment before getting another idea.

"Hm, I think I know just what you need," she said, and before he could respond, she tilted his head up with her finger and gave him a nice, long, delicious kiss. Naegi was surprised but eventually gave in and returned the kiss, or tried to at least; he has never kissed a woman before.

As she pulled away, she couldn't help but let out a small grin. "I guess you really weren't lying; you can't even give a good kiss! I'll have to help you with that too, I suppose. Feel better now?" she asked. He paused for a moment before nodding hesitantly.

"Just relax and enjoy yourself; this isn't something I would do lightly, you know," she said, before reaching for his pants again. This time he doesn't fight it as she unhooks his belt and lets it drop to the floor. Naegi looks into her eyes and sees pure lust in hers.

She really wants this...

As she slid off his pants and boxers in one smooth motion, what she thought would be a potential problem turned out to be a blessing. She was concerned that she wouldn't be able to have a lot to work with, but now that she sees him in his entirety, she can really have some fun with him.

"Looks like I'll have a good time with this thing," she said with a small giggle, gently but firmly grabbing him, slowly moving her hand up and down, causing Naegi to flinch slightly.

"Don't get too excited now, I want to get some use out of this thing before I blow your mind," she said, placing her second hand on him and working to see if he can get any larger. Her touch was amazingly soft and precise; he learned quickly that she really knew what she was doing.

"Ah, I think you might be a little too good at this," he said quietly before letting out another moan. She looked up and smirked at him.

"I love making men submit to me; it's scary how much of a turn-on it is for me," she said, applying some of her oil to him before continuing to work him, causing more shivering from Naegi. As she continued to work him, she noticed he got even larger than he was, and was glad she decided to do this. She wants to see how hard she can make him orgasm; it wouldn't be the first time she made someone pass out from pure ecstasy.

"Hm..," she said, gently dragging her clawed finger up and down his member, both pleasing and scaring Naegi; if she wasn't careful, he could be in some serious pain. "Looking at this, I'd say this is about 8 and a half inches, which is quite a feat, Naegi-kun. I might have to do this again sometime," she said before working him some more. She then put her mouth on him and continued to work him, and she was pleased when she saw him arch is back in reaction.

"I..I'm not gonna last much longer," he said, starting to feel a strong sensation coming on.

"Hehe, go ahead, Naegi-kun. Let me see how good I make you feel," she said, speeding up her motions. Naegi's breathing increased more and more and she fiercely worked to make him lose his mind. She wanted to bring him the ultimate climax and see how much she can make him squirm. Naegi wasn't going to last any longer with how good she was at using her mouth, and she was using her hands to stroke him and work his balls as well. He started thrusting against her hand and put his hand on the back of her head as he lost control and convulsed violently against her mouth, his juices flowing into her mouth as she continued to stroke him. She didn't flinch as she worked to suck every last drop he had, moaning as she did it, although swallowing proved difficult due to how much he had saved up.

Even after Naegi stopped shaking after he climaxed, he was still throbbing against her firm touch as she worked even more of his juices out of him, earning a satisfied moan from Celes as she made sure to make it the best climax he would ever have. Naegi tried to speak but couldn't as she made damn sure his balls had nothing left in them. Finally, when she was sure he had nothing left, she took her mouth off and gave a satisfied grin. "Did you like that, Naegi-kun?" she asked, even though the answer was plastered on his face.

"That was incredible...," he panted, still breathing heavily. He struggled to reach down and pull his pants up as he shifted himself and closed his eyes. "I think I need to sleep now," he said, closing his eyes. If he didn't sleep now, he was sure he'd pass out from his intense orgasm. She giggled at his response; it was exactly what she hoped for.

"Well, as of this moment, you are now officially my knight! She said cheerfully, pulling herself next to Naegi. "Let's get some sleep, Naegi-kun, you look like you need it," she said, giggling. As she closed her eyes and turned her back towards him, she flinched slightly when she felt an arm wrap around her waist. She then smiled gently, put her hands over his and let herself fall into the first night of peaceful sleep she's had in a long time.

"Good night, Celes-chan," he whispered, closing his eyes and pulling her closer. Her smile was growing more apparent at how much comfort he was bringing her just by holding her. For the first time in her life, she felt like she could be herself, and that was her last thought as she drifted off into dreamland.
