Naked Down Under

Story 10

"What's the matter, Zelgadiss-San?" Amelia asked, Zelgadiss keeping quiet, he stared down at his fingers in the hot water. "You're more quiet than usual." Amelia told him. Zelgadiss's face was bright red. They were sitting back-to-back.

"You really want to know why?" Zelgadiss spoke.

"Yes."

"Well . . . BECAUSE WE'RE IN THE SAME HOT SPRINGS TOGETHER!" Zelgadiss shouted with a red blush. Amelia giggled, her towel wrapped around her body in the hot water. Zelgadiss growled, he continued to glare at his fingers. "Why did we even come here?" Amelia smiled big.

"Lina-San and Gourry-San invited us to come, Zelgadiss-San! To celebrate our wedding in 4 more days. We can't turn down an invitation." Amelia answered him. Zelgadiss continued grumbling. Amelia giggled and continued to sit back-to-back with him. It was true, the two were going to get married in 4 more days. Zelgadiss pouted, but did Amelia had to take a soak in the hot springs with him? Yes, he loves Amelia, but… but he was still ashamed to show his body around Amelia. Amelia hummed softly as she splashed the water around her, she looked at the water's reflection, Zelgadiss was still glaring at his fingers with a bright blush. Amelia giggled lightly. She loved him just the way he is, Chimera and all. Amelia blinked to feel Zelgadiss move.

"I'm getting out. I've soaked enough." Zelgadiss muttered, he stood and walked over to the edge of the hot springs. He held the towel wrapped around his waist. Amelia gasped and ran after him. She reached for him and grabbed the edge of his towel. She pulled it off accidentally. "AMELIA!" Zelgadiss covered himself with a wild blush. Amelia blinked and looked to her hand, his towel clasped in her hand.

"O-Oops, I missed your hand." Amelia giggled nervously. Zelgadiss growled, he went into the water and carefully walked over to her, Amelia backing away slowly.

"Amelia…"

"N-Now, Zelgadiss-San, I'm your future wife, remember? I'm bound to see you naked here and out." Amelia told him. She yelped when Zelgadiss lunged for her and made a run for it to the edge of the hot springs. She got out of the water and looked back, Zelgadiss twitched with a red blush, he sink into the water until it stopped below his nose. Amelia giggled and walked over to the edge, she kneeled down in front of him, Zelgadiss pouted.

"Give me my towel."

"Not until you let me see you." Amelia smiled. Zelgadiss blushed redder. He shook his head. "Well, then… I'm going." Amelia stood, Zelgadiss yelped and grabbed her ankle before she walked away.

"Just give me my towel back. I don't want you to see me naked."

"But you saw ME naked!" Amelia shouted.

"That was an accident. I forgot to knock that time."

"And how about the other time?" Amelia twitched. Zelgadiss blushed madly, he pouted slightly.

"Well… It was raining…"

"So?" Amelia snarled. Zelgadiss gulped.

"You were going to get sick! I had to change your clothes for you!" Zelgadiss told her, Amelia blushed lightly and growled.

"THAT'S NOT ALL YOU DID, REMEMBER? YOU WERE FULLY-DRESSED WHILE I WAS STRIPPED NAKED! I AM NOT A VIRGIN ANYMORE BECAUSE OF YOU-

"Amelia! Not so loud!" Zelgadiss looked around with a big blush. Amelia pouted, she torn apart Zelgadiss's towel in two, Zelgadiss's mouth dropped.

"IT'S NOT FAIR! YOU SAW ME NAKED! WHY CAN'T I SEE YOU NAKED?" Amelia shouted, she turned and walked away. Zelgadiss sighed deeply and leaned against the edge.

"Why me?"

- In the bedroom -

Zelgadiss peeked into the bedroom, Amelia was laying in their futon, fast asleep. Zelgadiss had gotten out of the hot springs with the help of Gourry's help. He was in the inn's kimono. Zelgadiss sneaked inside and shut the sliding door silently. He walked around the futon and took his slippers off, Zelgadiss blushed red and untied his kimono. He hesitated at first but finally took it off, showing off his naked body. Zelgadiss lifted the blankets and laid next to Amelia. He froze and looked down his body, he shook his head and grabbed his kimono.

"No way. I can't do it." Zelgadiss grabbed his kimono and hurriedly put it on. He blinked when Amelia's hands grabbed his hands as he tied the kimono. He looked up and met Amelia's eyes. "Amelia." Zelgadiss blushed, Amelia smiled shyly and pushed his hands away, she began untying it.

"Just relax." Amelia giggled with a blush. Zelgadiss gulped and nodded. Amelia untied the kimono and slipped it off his shoulders, she threw it across the room and smiled at him. Zelgadiss smiled wearily. Amelia's eyes lead down his body, Zelgadiss blushed red and looked away, his hands moved away from his crouch. "O-Oh my…" Amelia giggled with a wild blush, Zelgadiss blinked and looked at her, he moved an eyebrow as Amelia giggled.

"What are you giggling about?"

"Nothing. I didn't expect that to happen, that's all." Amelia pointed between the sheets. Zelgadiss looked down, he yelped and covered himself again.

"IT'S JUST A MALE IMPULSE!" Zelgadiss shouted with a big blush. Amelia giggled and nodded. She snuggled close to him and sighed happily.

"Good night, Zelgadiss-San. I love you so much." Amelia kissed him on the chin, Zelgadiss pouted with a red blush.

"That's it? How about sex?" Zelgadiss asked, Amelia giggled, she shook her head. "No sex. Great. I'm excited for no reason, then." Zelgadiss grumbled, Amelia wrapped her arms around him and rubbed her face against his chest.

"Let's go to sleep."

"Since I'm naked. You have to be naked too."

"Goodnight, Zelgadiss-San. I love you." Amelia yawned, she allowed him to untie her kimono.

"Hey, hey, hey. Don't sleep yet." Zelgadiss growled to see undergarments on her. "I hate it when you're wearing your undergarments."

"Zelgadiss-San… you're so silly." Amelia sighed happily and drifted to sleep. Zelgadiss sighed and stopped what he was doing. He stared at Amelia as she slept, he smirked and kissed her on her lips.

"I love you too." Zelgadiss cuddled close to her half naked body and shut his eyes. "We can always do it in the morning."

- The End -
