Chapter Two: Going from Bad to Worse
Gete awoke slowly feeling very warm in the front and very hot at his back, an arm was wrapped tightly around his waist and he opened his eyes to stare down at the arm with confusion. Slowly and carefully he turned to face the one holding him, he tensed as he realised whose face he was staring at, it was his own!
Memories came crashing back and he remembered that Freya and him had been switched by some device. His own symbiote, Aldwin and Freya were holding him and Anise right now. This was all kinds of wrong! He tried to move out of his symbiote's arms but the arm around him was like an steel band, not wanting to wake up Freya or Aldwin he stilled.
Anise! What the hell is going on! He demanded.
Anise slowly awoke and analysed the situation. –Well.- She began. –After we got through the gate we realised that the world we travelled to was a cold planet, the gate was too cold to activate and we were forced to seek shelter. We put you to sleep and chose to share a bed and body temperature so we could remain warm.- She explained.
Well I would really like to get up now. Gete replied quietly. So if you could kindly extract us from their arms, it would be really appreciated. Anise sighed but obediently took control and attempted to escape the arm around them, but Aldwin responded by tightening his grip pinning them to his body.
"Aldwin." Anise called, the other symbiote hummed as he awoke. "Aldwin. It is time to get up." Anise tried again.
"Anise?"
"Aldwin." Anise stated.
"Gete?"
"Yes, Gete is awake. Now we must rise." Anise replied.
"What for? We are trapped on this planet until the summer. The gate is frozen and won't activate." Aldwin replied.
"Yes but we can't lay in bed forever." Anise stated. "We can use the time to study the artefact." Aldwin groaned and reluctantly released Gete and Anise from his grip. "Go wash and dress, than see if you can get us some food and drink." Anise instructed.
"Yes ma'am." Aldwin answered with an amused smirk before disappearing from the room.
-You miss him.- Anise stated after a while of awkward silence between her and Gete.
Yes. Gete replied simply for there was nothing else he need say. I want whatever has been done to be un-done.
-Which is why we must work out how this device works.- Anise stated. –Once Aldwin is washed and dress we shall go clean ourselves before eating and then we shall work on this device.-
Alright. Gete replied but he was now concerned about 'cleaning'. He had never truly touched a woman like that before and now he was going to have to experience it first-hand.
-Don't worry, I'll block you out whilst we clean so you don't have to suffer any embarrassment- Anise teased before doing exactly as she said she would do. The darkness and numbness was disorienting but Gete did not complain since the alternative, in his eyes, was much worse.
Half hour later and Anise and Gete were sitting before the cube refreshed and dressed. Anise was focusing on the cube but Gete was more focused on their clothes. Seeing as I am a MAN in a WOMAN's body could you show some modesty! I cannot go around wearing this!
-Ah but you are not a man in body, only in mind!-
But it is bloody freezing and all your wearing is this…I wouldn't call it a dress, more like a piece of fabric! I demand that you go and change NOW!
-No. - Anise replied infuriating Gete.
I refuse to help you in anyway as long as your dressed as this.
-Ah, but your aid would help end this situation.-
I am not talking to Aldwin whilst dressed like this! This is humiliating! Embarrassing! And wrong! DO you have no pride? No modesty? At least put a jacket over us!
"You shouldn't be dressed like that on this world, Anise. The cold will do more harm than good." Aldwin said stating Gete's thoughts out loud. "Though you probably don't need me telling you that. I have no doubt Gete is having a rant."
"He is." Anise confirmed. "I will wear something more substantial if we choose to go out, but I doubt we'd need to seeing as we have everything we need here."
It makes no difference! Show some bloody modesty! Gete protested.
"You're wrong about that." Aldwin answered. "It seems we have a problem. This planet doesn't get many visitors. Their suspicious of us, we need to go out and try to make friends if we are to stay here any longer. They particularly didn't like the idea of an un-married man and woman sharing the same quarters. When they find out we shared a bed they will be most upset, it would matter little that we did so only to conserve heat."
"Then what do you suggest, ordering a separate room or pretending to be married?" Anise replied.
"Ordering a separate room would be too late…but we could pretend to be betrothed or married, in some cultures the man and woman meet before the marriage day."
"But that would make them question why we are here if our marriage is supposedly today." Anise answered. "No we must pretend to be married, we can claim we were going on our honeymoon through the ring of the Gods, but there was a malfunction and we ended up here."
"To protect my wife, I bought her to the Inn to keep her warm." Aldwin agreed.
You have to be kidding me! You really want me to pretend that Aldwin is my…my…husband?! Gete exclaimed. No way. Nuh-uh! Not happening! Think of another damn plan!
-This is the only plan we have.- Anise replied. –Besides you don't have to pretend, only I do. Both Aldwin and I can use the host's voice and pretend.-
It doesn't feel right. Gete protested. Aldwin is my symbiote, the idea of him touching me like that is…uncomfortable.
-I doubt he would have to go that far, Gete, if we must I will put you to sleep before we do the act.- Anise no doubt intended to reassure Gete but the last comment did nothing but upset him more. "Go back down Aldwin and make a small scene, tell them that your wife is sick, the cold has made me ill, demand an extra blanket or some warm food. The more people who witness the scene, the quicker news will get around that we are married and therefore not committing 'evil' acts in their Inn. I will arrange this room to make it appear as if we've had intercourse."
"To make the affect greater remain in the bed and make it appear as if you are nude, if the Inn staff intrude for one reason or another they will see my wife huddled under the quilts." Aldwin answered. "Remember to use the host voice as well, they have no idea we are Tok'ra."
"Of course." Anise agreed. "I will hide the cube as well in case they decide to explore the room, it wouldn't do for them to find anything strange or frightening and we don't need the cube working its magic on the natives."
"No we don't want that." Aldwin replied looking horrified by the very idea of it happening. "I'll deal with the natives." He added before racing from the room.
So now we have to stay in bed and make it look like we…eh…I think I'd rather I didn't think of that. He's my symbiote! Why would I…?
-No need for melodramatics, we need to make it look like we have done it, we haven't truly done it.- Anise replied amused at Gete's mini panic attack. –Now, what do you notice about the cube?-
It is black, it lights up with strange swirly diagrams when touched by human hands, it switches human bodies and is the instrument of my suffering. Gete replied sarcastically before sighing. Well at least we all know how to have sex, if they demand us to give them a demonstration we can…
-Unfortunately that is not so. If the natives demand a demonstration and if Aldwin and I cannot remain in control it is up to you to make it look real.-
How so?
-Freya has never had intercourse with either a man or a woman.-
What! How the hell is that possible? The way she dresses…! She must have some experience.
-No she does not, if anything happens to Aldwin or myself, you must take control.-
Damn it! Gete cursed angrily. Wait…if Freya's a virgin, that means this body is a virgin…
-Yes.-
Damn it! If they demand proof by seeing our body than we're screwed!
-Aldwin will have to supply some proof won't he!-
Ew! Please don't speak like that! I didn't need to have that imagery! Anise chuckled at Gete's reaction as she focused on the cube. Are you ignoring me? Gete demanded angrily as she began to hum and spin the cube around in her hands.
-No but I thought you'd like a few moments to gather yourself.-
No thank you, just solve the cube so I can go back to being in my own body!
"You should not play with that device!" Aldwin protested as he strode back into the room. "What if anyone else but I walked in at that moment?"
"They will think me bored as I wait for my husband to return." Anise replied with an amused smirk. "Now Gete and I have been speaking, or rather I've been theorising and he's been complaining. What if the natives demand proof of our marital activities?"
"Yes, Freya and I have also been considering that. The people do not appear to be the type that will watch intercourse, so I believe marks on our hosts would suffice."
"I concur." Anise replied. "However we must be prepared for anything. If they demand visible proof that we've had intercourse we must supply it."
"If need be we will mate but that will be a last resort. I don't like the idea of having intercourse with my other half."
"Gete feels uncomfortable about that as well." Anise agreed. "Now…did the people buy the act."
"They were more than happy to help, I have several basics and a maid will be coming up with hot drinks and soup. I've also requested that our room be left alone for the next few days as you are seriously ill and need your husband's…support." Aldwin answered.
"Hopefully that will hold them at bay for some time."
"Hopefully." Aldwin parroted.
For this chapter I have managed to include:-
1: Huddling for warmth
2: Pretending to be married
3: Secretly a virgin. (Freya's a virgin! Bet you didn't see that one coming! LOL)
4. Cross-dressing (Though to be fair, it is not really cross-dressing per se as Gete is actually in a woman's body)
