[Kaine's POV]:

It took us some time, but we finally made it back to Nier's village with the medical supplies. I thought we'd never make it back. Once we made it to the front gate, I decided to wait outside…

We spend hours picking up some shit ass weeds, all for little money. When it comes to the nice department, Nier is the cheap hoe on the street, and Popola would be his pimp. We don't even get much recognition for any of this…But Nier does it anyway. That's just the kind of guy he is… Kind, strong (not stronger than me, of course), handsome…shirtless, weak, sweet voice…he's such a little bitch! Fuck, sometimes I just can't control myself!

"…What's the matter, sunshine? Can't keep your thoughts off of him, eh?"

…It was HIM again…

"…Just fuck off, Tyrann" I mumbled. Tyrann wasn't having any of it. "aww common, sunshine, you should let yourself go sometimes, admit these feelings, get that heavy burden off of your… chest". Suddenly, My left arm started moving on its own, reaching lower and lower to my...

"STOP, you piece of shit! I won't let you do this! Not in the fucking mood!" I shouted

"ohhhoho! Touched a nerve, did i?" replied Tyrann. If I didn't know any better, I bet that piece of shit is smirking to himself right about now.

"yea, you fucking did", I replied. "Just shut up and let me think for a sec…". I sat in silence for a while, need to stop thinking about him for while...but damn! The only way for me to stop thinking about Nier these days is to...let it out...

"fuck it" I couldn't take it anymore, "I need to rub one out..."

[Nier's POV]:

"Hmm, what should I get today?" I muttered to myself as I looked around the market place… Kaine just hasn't been herself lately. She's been more distant than usual, she hasn't been eating much, either. I really want to help her out…

"So what is it that you're looking for, lad?" Replied Weiss, with his usual air or importance.

I thought about my answer as I looked at the great tome…

"To be honest, Weiss? I'm not sure, but I want to get something for Kaine"

"For that bimbo! What on earth for?" shouted Weiss.

"look, I know you aren't a fan of her…language, or look, but she hasn't been herself lately"

"What do you mean?" Replied the old Tome

I thought about my response to Weiss's question, and answered with, "…She's been more distant lately. Not talking much, staring out into space, barely eating her meals, and heck, she isn't even cursing at the shades a s much! Don't tell me you didn't notice any of this" I finally ended.

Weiss was silent for a short while, until he replied, "You know, now that you mention it, she HAS been less of a whore lately"

"I KNOW, right?" I replied, without thinking what he actually said. "Wait, What?"

Frustrated, Weiss states, "Im trying to say I know what you mean, she HAS been less moody. And I sort of miss my little jabs with her."

Satisfied with Weiss's answer, "You see? Whatever is bothering her, I may as well TRY and help her out of her funk. Maybe getting her a gift might just be that something."

"I see…" Weiss answered

Both of us grew silent, looking around the market area for SOMETHING, anything she might appreciate. As I looked around a clothing bin, I realization struck me, "I GOT IT!"

Weiss, clearly surprised by my sudden outburst, replies, "YOU GOT WHAT! Must you shout at every realization!"

"I think I figured out what I should get her" I finish.

"Don't ignore me… sigh…fine, what is it? Lets hear it"

"A new Lingerie set" I reply, happily

"A NEW WHAT! Why on earth is THAT a good idea?"

"Well" I began, "the ones shes got on now have been a bit tattered from the constant fights. It's the only thing she seems to be remotely interested in, she'd appreciate it, and lets face it, a few more fights and the whole thing will be ripped apart, don't tell me your looking forward to the site of her…?"

"ALL RIGHT, all right!" said Weiss, "I, uh, get it. You've made your point. OH GOD. Just thinking about her walking around with nothing on…Being seen with a naked whore wearing nothing but her underwear and no top, being SEEN around the streets with her…! The things people would say! Is just…uhh...!" Suddenly, Weiss momentary stops , and flops to the floor! Did he just…? Faint? Can books DO that?

"Uh…Weiss?" No response.

"Oh well, guess, I'll just have to carry you around for a bit" I picked up Weiss from the floor and made my purchase of Kaine's new outfit…Im pretty sure I made a good choice, this one looks entirely identical to her old short negligee, it was nearly an exact replica of her older one, except this is brand new, and seems like it would last her a long while…

"hmm…" I started thinking about her usual attire in general. It's always been strange, don't get me wrong, but she had an interesting set. She where a Negligee and… should I even call them panties? It just doesn't work, they're clearly not. Its not something most women would wear, even…. It's sort of a feminine version of a…jock strap? Yea, I feel like its more of a jock strap than panties, for sure…a feminine jock strap. Why in the world would she where something like that…?

"Thinking too much about this... Alright, got Kaine her gift! I hope she likes it!" I said. Then, I realized something… "And maybe I should ask Popola for some missions where it takes us to sunnier, nicer looking places. The change of pace might be good for all of us!" My plan is full proof! Operation get kaine to feel better is on its way! Hopefully it would not only help Kaine out, but get all of us to open up, get to know each other a little more! Maybe invite Devola and Popola along…? I'll defiantly try to bring Emil along for the ride too! Should I bring Yonah along…?

[Narrator POV]:

As Nier makes preparations for his next big assignment, Kaine still is tormented by her lustful thoughts about our main hero, and Weiss is still his usual prude self. Nier walks off with all his purchases in hand, looking forward to Kaine's reaction to his gift.
