Previous Chapter Updated!
Celeste is staring at Elliot in pure shock, unable to speak at all. Athena realizes what she had just done and panics letting out multiple cries of distress. She turns very red and her expression becomes one of pure distress. Elliot is also unable to speak. Lilim just watches intently, as if she was unsurprised.
A few heavy, mind numbing moments of silence hang in the air between the group like thick fog. Elliot slowly places his hands on his face, rubbing his eyes to try and calm his mind. Celeste slowly begins to speak, as if for the first time.
"E-E Elliot...? Did you and Athena..." She still struggles to speak, the words fighting to stay unspoken.
Athena clings onto Elliot's arm. She is fighting to hold tears back. Elliot's expression becomes serious and less panicked.
"Well... I guess you know now..."
Celeste still struggles to speak. "H-how... you two... you two are..."together"? A human and a pokemon?"
"Yeah... me and Athena... are together..." There are a few more moments of silence between them.
"I definitely had suspicions, but... I wasn't really sure... but..."
Celeste and Elliot stare at each other for a few more moments.
"Yeah... it's been like this for a while now... It just sort of happened..."
"I see... I... well... I don't know what to say... I never would have figured you'd be the type of guy just from your personality."
Athena is clinging to Elliot now, hiding her face from Celeste. Elliot holds her against his chest.
"I guess I can understand where you're coming from... Athena is more human than most pokemon... so it not as weird as it could be... at least she's not a bidoof or something like that..."
Elliot and Celeste begin laughing shortly after Celeste's comment. Shortly afterward, the air resumes it's heavy state as it was before. The silence returns, and the group is once again unable to speak. Shortly afterward, the sun fully sets and everyone decides to return to the inn. Celeste and Lilim return ahead of Elliot and Athena, who decide to take their time.
Athena clings extremely tightly to Elliot's back, as if afraid he would disappear. She let's out quite cries of remorse, as if apologizing for what she had done. Elliot, in return reassures her by putting one hand on her thigh when they stop at red lights. They take a more scenic route, one that loops across the shore line.
Athena rests her hands on his thighs, causing Elliot to become nervous and blush quite a bit. The ride relaxes both of them. They eventuality return to their room and find Celeste sitting on her bed, in an uneasy fashion. Elliot sits down on his bed. The room is filled with the heavy fog of awkwardness.
"I've kissed Lilim before... more than once..."
Elliot turns to look at Celeste, his expression, one of confusion. "Wait... what?"
Celeste hesitates. "Lilim was my first kiss. I was curious about what it was like to kiss somebody..." Elliot turns to Lilim and sees her indifferent expression. She lets out soft cry as if saying "So what?".
Celeste sighs. "I did enjoy it... I just... as time passed... our relationship began to deepen, and it was kind of nice... but as I got older... I was worried of being called strange and being shunned... I haven't kissed Lilim since..."
"Elliot breathes softly. "I never would have guessed... "
"Yeah, your the only person that knows... so I understand where you are coming from..."
Elliot smiles. "You trust me with that?" His face is much brighter now. "I really appreciate you trusting me..."
Celeste smiles also. "I won't tell anybody... don't worry about it..."
The tense air has lifted, and Elliot and Celeste continue to talk. Elliot explains exactly why they came to see Rowan and how Elliot and Athena's relationship is causing her Delta Evolution.
Celeste seems legitimately interested in Elliot and Athena's relationship. Asking about every little detail. Lilim and Athena are sitting together, no doubt speaking telepathically. An hour passes and everything is back to normal. Athena and Elliot talk about what had happened earlier and Elliot reassures Athena that everything is alright.
Elliot orders some pizza and the group watches t.v. together. Athena sits on Elliot's lap, resting her head on his shoulder. Everything seems back in order and even better than before. The night goes by quickly and before they know it, it is midnight and everyone goes to sleep.
Elliot and Athena have a shared dream about her being human. That night, everyone has very restful sleep, more restful than usual. The next morning, Elliot wakes up first. Athena is cuddling is to him, resting his head on her shoulder. He softly moves her head onto the pillow and gets out of bed. He looks over and sees Celeste is cuddling up to Lilim. Celeste looked like she was sleeping much more peacefully than usual. The now smiling gothorita seemed to enjoy the new sleeping arrangement as well. Elliot's mind wanders about this for a moment before shaking the thoughts from his mind. He enters the bathroom and undresses. After looking at himself in the mirror, he enters the shower. Shortly afterward, Elliot is washing his face, he hears a click and the sliding of the shower door. When he turns around, Athena is standing behind him, her face bright red and her body devoid of clothing.
"A-Athena!" Elliot says in a panicked voice. She is somewhat non responsive.
"Elliot... I want to become... closer to you..."
"H-how? W-what?"
"When people shower... together, they become... closer... Boyfriends and Girlfriends... do this together... right...?" Elliot is rather panicked still.
(Mild Sexual Content Warning!)
Athena approaches Elliot and hugs him, they uncovered bodies contacting each other. Elliot wraps his arms around her reluctantly. Her warmth is almost overwhelming. Athena blushes brightly upon contact with Elliot. The two of them just hold each other. After a few moments, Athena takes a step back and look at Elliot. Her eyes quickly run over his body before turning her head and blushing once again.
"Human's bodies... are... strange... but... I like it... Do you... like mine... Elliot?"
Elliot blushes and struggles to speak. "Of-Of course..."
"Do you want... to touch... me?" Athena looks extremely shy.
"I... uh... I..." Athena uses her psychic abilities to lift his hands and place his hands on her chest. Elliot can barely hold him self up. Athena winces and smiles.
"W-wow... A-Athena..." Elliot begins to softly massage her chest. Athena's breasts are soft but still somewhat lean. Elliot is enjoying this regardless of his nervousness. When Elliot starts to squeeze her breasts a bit more, she lets out soft cries of what sounds like distress.
"Are you okay, Athena?"
"Yes Elliot... I am fine..." Athena lets out a soft moan as he rubs her small, but succulent feminine fruit.
Elliot, although rather reluctant, is enjoying this act immensely. It was kind of shocking that Athena would want him to touch her in this manner. Her breasts were quite supple and pleasing to play with. This was unlike anything Elliot had ever experienced, his senses were being somewhat overloaded. Athena's soft cries of exploratory pleasure combined with what Elliot held in his hands was more than enough for Elliot's manhood to rise to the occasion.
Although this was no surprise, this left Elliot unnerved. Athena sensed this and uses a gentle psychic wave to focus and ease Elliot's mind and her own. (Calm Mind) Athena spins around softly and presses herself against Elliot and rests her head upon his chest. Elliot continues to softly grasp and massage Athena's supple breasts.
Both parties were enjoying the act intensely. Athena felt a almost tingling sensation in her mind from the somewhat perverted activity the two were apart of. This tingling was slowly spreading throughout her body. Unfamiliar to this sensation, Athena quickly quelled the rapidly overpowering feeling.
(End of Sexual Content)
After a few more minutes of them playing around, Athena kisses Elliot passionately and they continue to do so. Elliot larger, human lips are so soft when pressed against Athena's, how she loves it so. Athena begins to meld their minds together as to create a more sincere but not physical exchange between the two. Their kinds spin together in a whirlpool of mental ecstasy as they experience worlds within their minds, all within a matter of moments.
Unfortunately, after a few minutes, Elliot begins to suffer a massive headache due to overexertion of his metal capabilities. His mind has been exposed to far too much psychic energy far too quickly. Elliot is cast from his mental nirvana and returns to the physical realm. He can barely stand due to his mental fatigue. Athena returns to reality and helps Elliot stand with her psychic abilities, making sure not to expose his mind to any of her energy. Regrettably, Athena cannot communicate with Elliot during this time. She finishes washing Elliot and helps him get dressed only for the two to return to bed. It was only eight a.m. so there was still time to rest.
During the coarse of the next week, Athena would be subject to many tests. Genetic, psychic, and physical evaluations for example. Rowan was going to gather as much information about Delta Evolution as he possibly could while he had the chance.
