Welcome, it has been a long time since I have uploaded anything. Yes, I am still alive. I have been wanting to get back into writing for a long time, years, and here is my first try after all these years. I figured one shots are the way to go for now, just to get the creative juices going.
Unfortunately, I think it is a good idea to officially discontinue Learning in the Afterlife. It has been too long since I even thought about it, and I think trying to get back into it would make a distinct disconnect in the quality and direction on that story. I will leave it up, if you enjoy what is there, and as a testament to who I was at the time. Maybe I will create a new version of it, a spiritual successor if you will, but I want to plan it better than I did for LitA. I will admit that I was planning on the romance being between Ichigo and Nanao, and it following the canon story, just connecting it with the non canon part.
Enough about that story, you are here for this new one, set near the middle of a Cyberpunk playthrough. I will put my thoughts about the game at the end if you are interested. On to the story.
Judy smiled as she placed her gift, a wetsuit, for V on the floor of V's apartment. Sure, the gift was more for herself really, either eye candy or an excuse to go diving together, but she was sure that V would like it all the same. A win-win really.
Glancing around her girlfriend's apartment, Judy was surprised to see a cat, of all things, staring back at her from a hamper next to V's bed. She hadn't seen a cat in years, maybe when she was visiting her grandparents? She wasn't sure.
The cat watched her closely as she approached, tail slowly flicking behind it. Judy wanted to pet it, but she wasn't sure how to do that without scaring it, so she hesitated, stopping with her hand stretched out in front of the cat. As it turned out, that was the right thing to do, since the feline stepped out of the hamper to reach her hand, sniffing it, inspecting this stranger that stepped into its domain. It seemed to be satisfied, because a few seconds later, the cat pushed its head into Judy's hand, rubbing itself.
Judy couldn't believe how soft its short and thin fur was, nor how warm it was. And then the cat started purring, a low rumble that sounded almost like a drawn-out growl. The sound was comforting, or maybe it just felt good to make something else happy. So, she stayed there, hand held out for the cat to rub against, for a few minutes, just enjoying the feeling of the cat rubbing into her. It was relaxing, maybe even meditative.
Abruptly, the cat stopped, its eyes locking onto the door behind her. A second later, the door slammed open, scaring Judy, and causing her to spin around to face the noise, hands hidden behind her back like she was caught doing something she shouldn't be. Standing in the doorway, just as surprised as Judy was, stood V in her casual clothes, arm still stretched out from opening the door.
"Uh, hey Judy?" V said as her head cocked to the side, sending her long blue hair over one of her shoulders, as she processed what she was seeing.
"Sorry V," Judy quickly started, "I was just dropping off a present for you. Surprise?" she said, her voice going up a pitch from being caught in the act.
"Really?" V responded as she looked around her apartment, before spotting the box near her feet. "This is for me? Judy, thank you!"
"Of course, how could I not give you something?"
"Thank you Judy, really," V said with a small smile, "I wish I could stay longer, but I just came by to pick something up. I am in the middle of a gig right now."
Her smile dropped a bit as she walked into the small room across from Judy, the door slid open, and just before she walked in, V said, "If you wait a sec, we can walk down together."
"Sounds good," Judy said as the door slid shut behind her girlfriend.
She moved to the couch in the corner of the room, sitting so her back was facing the door to the apartment.
It was only a few minutes of browsing the TV later that the door behind her slid back open. Judy stood back up and walked around the couch to head to the door with V.
She was not prepared for what she saw.
Standing in front of her with an impish smile was V. Without the clothes she had been wearing just a few minutes before.
Judy could only stare at her nude girlfriend, taking a few seconds for her brain to process what she was seeing. Her eyes scanned the beauty in front of her.
V's flawless tanned skin glowed in the light of the room. Her arms were toned, yet still feminine, looking softer than her strength would make you think. Her large, soft breasts wobbled with each of her shallow breaths, each capped with a small pink nipple, slowly growing harder in the cool air of the room. Her stomach was taut, with her abs just showing beneath her skin. Then came her toned thighs, lean and powerful from running though the city. V claimed it saved time in Night City's center, and Judy loved the results. Between those lovely thighs was her beautiful vagina, with a trimmed strip of pubic hair the same shade of blue as her hair.
Judy's eyes snapped back up to V's violet eyes quickly, as if trying to hide that she just ogled her girlfriend. From the look in V's eyes, she was well aware of how Judy just looked at her.
"I…uh…wow," Judy said, causing V's smile to grow.
"I figured I should give you a gift in return," she said, slowly walking up to Judy, invading her space, giving Judy a faint whiff of the little hint of perfume V was wearing.
"Y…you didn't need to," Judy said, shuddering as V's left hand slid underneath her black overalls, skimming across the skin of her stomach.
"I know, but I wanted to," she said as she walked around Judy, using her right hand the slowly pull off the strap from her shoulder, causing the top to fall to her waist, leaving her shirt the only thing she was wearing from the waist up.
"What about your j-job?" Judy stammered while V started to slide her hands along her torso from behind her, groping and squeezing as they went.
"It was delayed, something more important came up."
With V's hands dipping below her waist now, Judy couldn't even muster the wit to be clever. But her hands didn't stray too low, waiting for permission to proceed.
Judy couldn't give it fast enough, turning around to kiss her, causing V's hands to settle on her ass, something Judy mirrored with a squeeze, feeling up her girlfriend's glorious butt.
From there, Judy's clothes were quickly stripped off, and the two lovers tumbled into the bed in a display of passion, and perhaps even a hint of budding love. The two stayed in the bed in pleasant haze of pleasure, peaking often enough for them to need to take a break in the shower, which then turned into sex in the shower.
Their euphoria lasted well into the night, but as all good things must, even their passion had to end, for the day at least. Exhaustion set in, and the two fell asleep in each other's arms, cuddling together on the sex stained bed.
As the sun rose, Judy was woken up by warm hands massaging her hips and gentle kisses on her shoulder. Apparently, V became the big spoon over the night. If this was how all mornings with her would be, Judy was all for it.
"If you make a habit of this, I may never leave," Judy said, letting V know she was awake.
"Mm, don't tempt me," V said as she pulled Judy closer so she could rest her head on Judy's shoulder. "Do you need to go somewhere today?"
"No, not today. Why?"
"Stay in bed with me, last night was the best I've slept since…you know."
Judy rolled over in response, placing her hand on V's check, then giving her a quick kiss.
"For you, anything," Judy said, snuggling closer to V, enjoying the sound of her heartbeat lulling her gently back to sleep.
Her world wasn't perfect, and as soon as V was done with what she needed to do in Night City, Judy was going leave this wretched place with her to start a new, better life somewhere else. As long as they were together, Judy was sure their life would improve.
But plans for the future could wait, because here and now, cuddling together in bed, they were both happy. And that was good enough.
With that thought, Judy fell back asleep, a smile on her lips, and a feeling of love growing in her heart.
And here we are at the end, I hope you enjoyed this short story about this adorable couple. Panam is the best though. I enjoy this game, though I will admit I wasn't closely following it during its development, so I didn't get super hyped about the game, and as a PC player, I have avoided most of the game breaking bugs that most console players have experienced. Is it perfect? No, and I understand that some of you are disappointed about what we got. I enjoy the story and characters, the combat can be fun, a netrunner build is ridiculous, and the guns feel fine. Driving can be frustrating, though I find myself laughing more at the collisions than anything, and melee combat feels a bit off, particularly using your fists. Hopefully as the patches come in, the game can match the quality, in my opinion, of the story.
Anyway, hopefully I will see you all soon.
