Festival Cheer

The end of the year had at last arrived, and with it came the yearly festival hosted by the Sakura Empire.

And as all the years before it the festival was abuzz with activity, from the numerous stalls that lined the streets to the fireworks that popped overhead in several organised segments, the brief lull in the night sky always broken by another round of popping explosions. Many of Azur Lane found themselves meandering down past the stalls or admiring the fireworks from the seafront, dressed in various kimonos or festive outfits, a light draping of snow covering the winding pathways and neighbouring forestry.

''Commander this way, this way~!''

The Commander also found himself amongst the crowds, an exasperated smile forming on his face as he let himself be dragged down one of the many streets and over to one of the stalls run by a cheerful Amagi. Naturally the motherly woman was running a dango stand, and with exuberance his wife rushed up to the stall, chattering brightly with Amagi as the elegant fox-woman sorted their order and handed them over with a smile.

Said wife being Prinz Heinrich. The grey-haired Ironblood woman was as bubbly and excitable as ever, a broad smile on her lips as she hopped out of line with him dutifully following her, both of them dressed up in kimonos given the occasional – though his own modest blue one was contrasted by her more loose and fancy black Ironblood one, made by Friedrich herself as a gift for Heinrich. With a fur trim and side-slits it made Heinrich almost seem regal, though her exuberance disrupted any such fanciful image, not that he minded. Though privately he couldn't help but wonder how her loose outfit even remained on with how much she was moving.

''Here, darling~!'' With a chirp Heinrich handed him his dango, shaking him out of his thoughts.

''Ah. thanks. Unconsciously raising a hand he adjusted his glasses, smiling at his adoring wife and earning a merry giggle out of her. ''I'm pretty sure this is the fifth dango you've had. Don't overindulge too much.''

''Aw come on, it's a festival! Overindulgence is in the name!'' Heinrich pouted at him... right up until she took a big bite off the stick, gulping it down and sighing in bliss. ''Ahh~ Sho tasty~''

The Commander just smiled and shook his head in amusement, deciding to let her have her fun and leave it up to Friedrich to scold her later.

Instead he merely interlocked an arm with his beloved wife and kissed her on the cheek, earning a bashful giggle and smooch in return before she merrily dragged him away to the next stand, the fireworks popping high overhead.

X-x-X

The festival carried on for many hours, and would likely carry on into the early hours until the majority of people left, and even then some would undoubtedly remain until the sun's rise the following morning.

Not intent on staying out that late the Commander decided to retire to his hotel room alongside his wife, both getting there just past eleven. Tuckered out but not quite tired enough to sleep yet they opted to sit and watch the fireworks go off from their fifth-storey window, admiring the distant pops of green and flashes of yellow before they all faded to black.

''It's nice tonight.'' The Commander spoke up after a prolonged pause, disturbing the quiet.

''Mm.'' Shuffling slightly Heinrich rested her head upon his shoulder, smile audible in her voice. ''Reminds me of that time you and I went camping with everyone.''

''Which time? When we went to the national park or when we went to the woods with Z1 and her sisters?''

''The latter.'' Heinrich remarked almost dreamily, snuggling against him. ''We had marshmallows by the fire, I burnt my mouth, so you gave me lots of kisses until I felt better~''

He chuckled sheepishly. ''You asked for them though.''

Heinrich just giggled, conceding to that. ''Yeah, but you gave me 'em~ And then, after the others were half-asleep around the fire, you grabbed my hand and whisked me away into the forest-''

''I'm pretty sure you took my hand and whisked me away.'' He dryly interjected.

She put a finger on his lips, hushing him as she spoke. ''-and then we went down to that little river and stripped, and then~''

Red eyes full of faux-innocence peeked up at him. The Commander flushed at the attention and bashfully adjusted his class, speaking in a low tone. ''...and then you tackled me in a hug and sent us both into the water. Then you got on top of me and we... you know.''

''Hehe, I wanna hear you say it~'' Heinrich teased good-naturedly, leaning. ''Say it~''

The Commander coughed the word out. Heinrich pretended not to hear it, cupping her ear. ''Huh~? What was that~?''

''...we...'' Even though they did it just saying it was embarrassing. ''We... made love.''

''Hehe, that's right~'' With a light flush of her own Heinrich leaned back, smiling and gazing into the distance. ''Y'know, I thought first times were supposed to hurt a lot more, especially since I kinda messed up during it. Guess we're just really compatible huh?''

He smiled wryly. ''Something like that.''

Silence reigned for a moment... when Heinrich shuddered. The movement drew his eyes down onto his beloved wife, and to his surprise he found tears gathering in her eyes, a soft sniffle escaping her as she tried her best to keep her tears to herself, any semblance of cheer quite suddenly evaporating.

''Heinrich?'' Worriedly he held her close. ''What's wrong?''

''I-I just...'' She sniffed, voice wobbling. ''Y-You're so kind Commander, b-but I keep messing things up and being all clumsy and thinking about our m-marriage and how you always h-have to take care of me and... a-am I a bad wife...?''

The words came out almost babbled, emotion choking her up – but with earnest care the Commander pulled Heinrich close and kissed her cheek, soothingly rubbing her side as he spoke into her ear. ''Of course you're not. You're the best wife in the world.''

''B-But you're always doing everything...'' She sniffled.

''Because you're always out there fighting.'' A finger tapped her on the nose. ''I don't want you to have to come back from fighting and risking your life against the Sirens just to have to wash the dishes from lunch or sort out my paperwork.''

Heinrich pouted a little, looking aside as she sniffed. ''B-But I want to...''

The Commander mulled it over for a second, filling the silence by pecking her on the cheek again. ''Then why don't we do stuff like that together then? You do dishes one way and I'll do the drying, then we swap the next day?''

''Mn...'' Heinrich still seemed on the fence about it. ''I guess.''

''Well, my birthday's coming up.'' The Commander then suggested. ''Why don't you handle the preparations this year for it then? I can go relax with Hood while you spice up the house.''

At that Heinrich perked up. ''Mm! I can do that!''

''Haha, I'll look forward to it then.''

Prinz Heinrich smiled brightly at him, her lithe hands sliding over his shoulders – before his wife slid herself onto his lap and mashed her lips against his in a surprise kiss. Taken aback by the sudden affection the Commander clutched onto her waist, falling back onto the floor. Breaking off the kiss long enough to giggle Heinrich followed it up with another kiss, this one deeper and more affectionate than the last, her tongue pushing into his mouth cheekily and finding his own tongue, wrestling with it.

Groaning now the Commander slid his hands further down to her ass, groping it... and when he slid his palms over her smooth flesh he realised she wasn't wearing any panties beneath. The thought darkened his cheeks, but in hindsight he realised she hadn't worn any when they stripped the first time around, and apparently hasn't been wearing underwear at all – period. The thought sent his blood rushing south, but to confirm it, if only for himself, he slid a hand around her thigh and between her legs.

''Mm~'' The muffled, sweet moan he coaxed out of his wife sent shivers through them, his fingers running over her bare folds tentatively.

Grasping his hand by the wrist she pulled it up, tugging it into the folds of her loose kimono, and onto her breast. Without asking questions the Commander grabbed her plump, ever-so-soft breast, his fingers sinking into her doughy flesh and squeezing out a moan from her throat, the enamouring sensation only encouraging him to grope his wife more, to erase whatever anxieties she felt and replace it with sheer love, even if he had to pump it into her.

The thought heightened his lust, and with a muted growl of arousal the Commander pulled on her rear, nudging her further up his body. Heinrich took the hint, red hues darkening her cheeks as she crawled up his front – and in a moment of boldness turned around, straddling his face and leaving her own face down by his crotch; doing it 69. The cruiser wasted no time in unbuckling his belt and tugging his boxers down, cooing as his swelling cock sprung out and nearly hit her in the face, tempting her to grasp his shaft and stroke it caringly.

''Mn...'' The gentle pleasure coaxed a soft hiss out of the Commander, his hands on her waist as he pulled his beloved down – and without hesitation his tongue went to work, lashing across her folds and sending a shock of pleasure through Heinrich.

The muted moan that teased the tip of his cock felt downright pleasurable; tingling bliss shivering down his shaft. His busty wife followed up her moan with a kiss; lips soft as they smooched the tip of his shaft. Her slender fingers held his cock firmly at the same time, pumping his cock with smooth but short up-down strokes, taking it slow for a time only to speed up and jerk him off quickly, before inevitably slowing back down again, teasing him.

Readily he got her back, his tongue slithering inside of her pussy. Heinrich mewled sweetly as his invading tongue squirmed between her walls and licked at her tender insides, his saliva-coated appendage easily pushing about and exploring even as her inner walls clamped down on it, his nimble tongue never getting pinned and constantly licking anything he could reach. His right hand came in too to tease her clit, his thumb expertly rubbing the little nub before tracing lewd circles around it, refusing to tease the bundle of nerves directly – riling his wife up.

''Mmph... mmk, Myn~'' Whining around his cock Heinrich adjusted her grip further down towards the base, her lips sliding further down his shaft and sucking more of his cock into her warm, wet mouth – until soon the tip neared the back of her throat. ''Ghk...''

The Commander moaned at the feeling, lifting his hips and mini-thrusting into her mouth, making Heinrich gag a little and rear her head back. Paying him back she pushed her hips down, moaning when his free hand went up to her ass and spanked it, grabbing her curvy butt and groped it better, rubbing away the sting only to follow it up with another slap – hard enough to sting but not so much that it hurt, the brief jolt fuelling her pleasure. A pleasure he soon tasted as his tongue lapped at her insides, licking up her tangy-sweet honey greedily.

His thumb came back to her clit, rubbing just under the nub before flicking it up – instantly earning a sharp, stuttering moan from Heinrich, his wife sucking back up to the tip and using her hand to get him off. Quick, slick strokes worked her hand up to the tip and back down to the base, wet squelches audible as she got him off and caught her breath. Then the moment she had done so she put her lips back on the tip and went back down his cock, moaning around his shaft as she slurped his dick, her lips wet as they snugly pursed around his throbbing meat.

''Mm... ah... dear...'' The Commander moaned into her pussy, teasing her clit a little more as payback.

Focusing more on her he pulled his tongue out, instead shoving three fingers into Heinrich's glistening sex, pumping them in deep and curling them slightly on the way out, the sensation sending spasming jerks through her body. Relentlessly he continued, his fingers jamming into her wet, clenching sex, her walls snugly squeezing his fingers as he got her off, groaning in bliss when Heinrich paid him back by squeezing his balls and deep-throated him, her lips wet and warm as they snugly sucked up his cock.

The sensation was becoming too much though, for both him and her. They tried to outlast one another, dragging out their motions to try and make the other cum to no avail, their pleasure rising and rising, muscles becoming taut and tight. In a feverish state the Commander all but yanked his fingers out and then hungrily buried his tongue back inside his wife, eating her out with lashing licks of his tongue and furiously rubbing at her clit, the muffled squeal he coaxed out of her sweet to the ears.

Until at last, with a jerk, Heinrich climaxed – her squealing voice dropping to a low, shaky moan as she orgasmed. His tongue hungrily lapped at her insides even as she came, heat climbing his own cock as she moaned around his cock, wrist stiff as she jerked him off... before he too peaked, and unleashed his load with a tight moan. Ropes of cum hit her tongue as he spurted his seed, coaxed out by the hand that eagerly kept jerking his shaft, her other hand squeezing his balls tight and wringing the cum out of him, all of it ending in her mouth and summarily swallowed.

''Mmph~! Ghk... Mm...!'' With a wet, gulping groan Heinrich sucked up his cock – before with a gasp she popped her lips off, coughing lightly. ''Mn... hehe... that feel good, darling...?''

''Mmhm...'' The Commander grunted out, helping lift her off his face – panting from the force of his orgasm.

Prinz Heinrich giggled, shifting off of him and sitting down by his knees, both of them taking a long minute to just catch their breaths. Then after barely a minute of cool-down they locked eyes, silently communicating their reignited lust – and without hesitation the Commander sat up on his knees and took Heinrich by the shoulders, pushing his giggling wife down onto the floor below them, ending on top of her. His wife just smiled sweetly, opening her legs and letting him between them, one hand grasping his shaft and guiding the swollen head up to her folds, rubbing the tip along her slit.

Heinrich moaned softly, biting her bottom lip adorably as she endured his teasing, her cheeks flushed and her eyes half-lidded as he rubbed the tip up to her clit before sliding it back down, rubbing against her but not putting it in. That was until Heinrich boldly grasped his cock too, guiding him lower – and in unison both of them moaned as he at last pushed into her slick, inviting sex, her womanhood embracing his shaft as he pushed in inch by inch, working his way in and rocking his hips to ease himself inside as smoothly as possible.

Until at last he bottomed out inside her, pelvis flush against hers and coaxing a stiff, but soft mewl from his wife, a breathy smile spreading across her face. ''Ehe... it feels so good~''

''I'm glad.'' The Commander warmly murmured, leaning down.

A giggle escaped Heinrich, the sound soon muffled as their lips connected in a kiss. Smiling into it his wife wrapped her arms around him, holding him close and moaning he started to move; slow, drawn-out rolls of his hips pulling his dick out only to greedily push back into her inviting tightness, her inner walls squeezing his length. Though his thrusts started slow every roll of his hips was firm and strong, making sure Heinrich felt his cock spear into her and push against her innermost parts, the sensation alone melting his wife into a moaning mess beneath him.

To the sound of fireworks popping in the distance he moved his hips, his hips rocking with growing haste as the pleasure got to him. His prior orgasm had left him sensitive, encouraging him on an instinctive level to thrust into his wife, to feel her walls clamp and clench around his girth lest he take it slow for too long and cum early. Mercifully though Heinrich was sensitive too, evidenced by her sweet moans as he made love to her on the floor, his pelvis bumping against hers with repeated fleshy 'pap-pap-pap' sounds.

''Mn, ah~'' Letting out a breathy sigh Heinrich broke off the kiss and nuzzled his cheek, kissing it a moment later. ''Let's go out to that river again soon. I wanna skinny-dip again~''

''Right now?'' The Commander teasingly bucked his hips harder, drawing out a moan from his adorable wife. ''I think we're a little busy at the moment.''

Heinrich giggled. ''Silly, I mean... Mn, later. Though...''

She leaned in then, whispering into his ear. ''I wouldn't mind if you carried me through town like this~''

The Commander shuddered at the lewd image she planted into his mind, a groan of pure lust escaping him as he gave into said lust. A sharp smack echoed through their hotel room as he slammed into her harder than before, his rhythmic hip-rolls hastening to rough, pounding thrusts – eliciting a hot cry from Heinrich as he went to town on her. The cruiser threw her head back, ponytail growing messy and mewling when he yanked her kimono open, allowing him to grab one of her large breasts and manhandle it, his rough groping only pushing Heinrich closer to her limit.

He didn't slow down. Even as he felt heat climb up his cock the Commander kept pounding his wife, growls of lust arising from his throat as he railed her. His glasses jiggled off of his face until Heinrich giggled and put them back on for him, holding them up with a slim index finger – said finger shaking as he pounded her pussy raw, his shaft pulsing against the wet walls that snugly squeezed his girth, begging for him to slam in deep and unload his milky heat.

A desire he couldn't resist, managing just a few more moments, a sharp growl rising from his throat. ''Hah, Mn, Mn...! H-Hein- Nn!''

Until with a sharp grunt he came. Instantly he slammed in deep, gasping as he shot hot ropes of semen into her depths, but on instinct he pulled his hips back and slammed in again, and then again – each rough thrust preluding the next spurt of hot cum that he filled her with. Nigh-silently Heinrich orgasmed with him, naught but a few whimpers fleeing her lips as he railed her, her honey squirting out around his girth-

-when he pulled out, gasping as he jerked himself off and spurted several thick, sticky ropes of cum up her pelvis, earning a startled moan from Heinrich as his load audibly splatted against her creamy flesh.

''Hah... ahh...'' Heinrich shivered and smiled. ''Hehe... you came... a lot~''

''I wonder why...'' The Commander breathlessly murmured back.

Heinrich answered him with a giggle, face red but satisfaction glistening in her ruby eyes. Putting her elbows underneath herself the cruiser sat up, gaze going south and a hand idly prodding at her sex, exhaling an aroused breath as she felt his seed leak out of her. In the process her gaze was drawn to his still-erect cock, realising he wasn't down for the count quite yet – and thus with a bashful smile and wink Prinz Heinrich sat up on her knees and turned away from him, wiggling her butt at him cheekily.

The offer was readily accepted, and with a playful growl the Commander moved behind her, tucking her kimono to the side and guiding his cock up to her wet lips – and with a moan sunk into her again. She was hot like a furnace compared to the ambient chill in the air, the way her womanhood squeezed his sensitive shaft erasing any desire to take it slow; and instead leaving him craving some roughness. A roughness that Heinrich seemed intent on getting, mewling as she pushed her ass back against him, asking for it.

''Myn~!'' And get it she did; a yelp of pleasure escaping Heinrich as he pulled halfway out only to slam back inside, stuffing her full.

With both hands grasping her wide hips the Commander went to town on her, raw smacks of flesh ringing through the air as their bodies pushed together, his shaft pumping in-and-out of her slick hole with passionate rolls of his waist. At the same time Heinrich moved her shoulders a little, tugging and pushing until her kimono slipped down her back and bundled around her lower back; revealing her smooth shoulders and flawless upper-back, his gaze lingering on her back as he pounded her from behind.

Shifting his right hand up he touched her toned back, sliding his hand up to her shoulder and then to her cheek, tilting her head to the side and allowing them to lock eyes. Then without hesitation both of his hands went to her breasts, groping them lustfully and making his wife arch her back, her head tilting back and eyes fluttering shut; before with a moan they kissed, making out even as he continued pounding her to the tune of slapping flesh.

''M-Mm~'' Moaning Heinrich broke off the kiss first, panting. ''C-Command- ah?!''

A startled squeal tumbled out of Prinz Heinrich as he suddenly moved his hands off her breasts and to her sides, causing her to fall back down onto her hands – when he pushed her down, her cheek pressing against the floor as she found herself knelt head-down-ass-up, both of his firm hands grasping her sides.

Before Heinrich could so much as speak a syllable the Commander resumed moving – earning a sweet cry from Heinrich as he pounded her harder than before, his thrusting cock rubbing against a sweet spot every time it rammed inside her, pushing into her depths. No matter how tightly her inner walls smothered his shaft he didn't slow; relentlessly railing her raw and stirring her insides up, the cum inside her causing every thrust to sound wet and squelchy, only further fuelling their lust.

''A-Ah, Commander, C-Commander~!'' With a rising squeal Heinrich tightened up – and one more hard thrust pushed her over the edge, a powerful convulsion wracking her body as she climaxed. ''A-Ahh~!''

The Commander gasped, heat rushing up his shaft even as he kept railing his wife – and with a jerk and a moan he blew his load, splattering his hot seed deep within her. Heinrich tightened around his shaft and wrung his cum out of him, a mutual moan escaping them when he sheathed himself balls-deep in her and came to a stop, both of them riding out their highs.

Until with a sigh the Commander reared his hips back, pulling out – allowing a thick dribble of cum to drip out of Heinrich's pussy. ''Mn... darling...''

''Hehe...'' Breathless Heinrich just giggled, rolling over onto her back and opening her arms to him. ''Hug~''

The Commander did so gladly, mashing his lips against hers and taking her hands in his, holding hands as he pinned them to the floor – the light of the fireworks gleaming off of their wedding rings.
