Chapter 18: The Trip.
Frederick Strauss, a 23 years old soldier from Marley, stood on the beginning of a wide branch with an anxious expression as he glanced time and time again at the almost invisible line the massive wall had turned into when the night fell; sighing and shaking his head while wondering the whereabouts of the two warriors they had been sent with.
He made a grimace of disgust when he remembered the grotesque transformation Zeke had triggered, a display of bestialism from the demons he could not erase from his mind as they were more taken outside the walls, once their job was over, to stay on the tall trees which were theorically safe as long as they remained covered and silent in the special camouflaged tents until the shifters had returned... which hadn't yet happened; it was a fortune titans were out cold at night.
He told himself he was worrying too much, that Jaeger and Pieck would probably need some time to do their reconaissance, not to mention the possibility of capturing one of those damn demons to interrogate and find out what the hell happened with the others they sent: were they captured? Killed? Were they traitors? The marleyan higher ups should have known better than...
His green eyes widened when he spotted the running shape moving towards them; the elongated face and animalistic movements were unmistakeable.
_Attention! -he shouted in a mixture of anxiety and relief- The Four Legged Titan is back!
The other eight soldiers, divided between the two tents on different trees, came out as one to watch at Pieck run in their direction and shared a few satisfied glances and remarks; the shifter lowered her speed and stopped about twenty meters from the trees, and only then they noticed something which had been hidden from them by the darkness.
_Is that a... person on top of her? A man? -one of them asked, squinting at the shifter.
_Must be Zeke. -pointed Strauss- Maybe he's tired or...
He fell silent when the clouds finally moved and the moonlight shone upon the man on top of the titan sitting in front of the barrels and boxes letting everyone see he was clearly different from Zeke.
_Who the hell is tha...?
The tree shook and the four soldiers struggled to keep their balance gripping tightly at the bark as a loud crashing noise filled the night, while the five men on the other tent screamed and readied their weapons; Frederick's eyes bulged when he caught a glimpse of a monstruous shape quickly climbing the tree towards them, a nightmare of black eyes and needle-like teeth which covered the distance in a blink amidst the frantic shooting from the other squad.
The Dancing Titan rose a hand and smashed it against the hopeless soldiers, crushing two of them against the bark with a sickening crunch; a third fell from the tree while the last held to the branch desperately until the gigantic hand grabbed him with force, crushing his ribs and making the man gasp coughing blood. The titan turned to look at the remaining soldiers and saw one readying a grenade; Ymir smiled wickedly inside the creature's nape and threw the agonizing man against him, making him fly with the impact until the explosive still in his hand detonated mid air, turning both into a red mist.
Strauss cried weakly as he opened his eyes and looked around in confusion, his mind blurry after falling from so high until fear forced him to focus on the titan leaping on his comrades to crush and tear them in pieces; he looked around and saw his bolt rifle on the ground a few meters away, but when he tried to move he felt a stabbing pain on his side and guessed he had a few broken bones. Frederick shut his eyes in impotence but that only made the screams of his comrades and the damn noises sound clearer, the cracking of bones and flesh being torn apart; then he heard steps nearby and looked again in hope of it being Pieck, but it was too soft to be the shifter.
Nikolai picked the marleyan rifle and examinated it with curiosity while Ymir had fun, his fingers tracing the weapon's shape, feeling its materials and weight; he actioned the bolt watching in amusement at the bullet pop out and chuckled, then his attention moved to the man on the ground staring at him in shock.
_Who...?
In a second Niko took aim and shot: the bullet made a perfectly round hole between the younger's eyes and he fell limp; with a satisfied hum he reloaded, rested the gun on his shoulder and turned to look at Ymir, now done killing the soldiers and walking slowly towards them. His grey eyes noticed the blood on her titan's hands and mouth, and thought how accurate his gut had been when he decided to invite her at the last moment: all he had to do was walk up to her and whispered a single phrase in her ear.
Want to kill some marleyans?
He didn't really know why he was so sure she'd agree, but he never doubted her willingness to join in their trip outside; a weak protesting from Krista and Gelger aside, no one dared confront him when they saw the murderous glee in his eyes when Ymir, usually so uncaring, gave him a slow, solemn nod while her face showed a grim determination that turned into slight anxiety once the girl readied her new gear given by Lynne, while Niko took Mike's. The shifter didn't look back when they left, nor when they reached the top of the wall and prepared their trek towards the marleyan outpost.
_I guess we're done here. -the Dancing Titan said in her guttural voice.
_Indeed. -Nikolai ran his fingers on the rifle- Gods, this weapon is so archaic but shooting it feels so...
He turned, shot at one of the corpses a couple times and chuckled lowly.
_Don't you have firearms within the walls? -inquired Pieck, shifting her weight on the titan's legs.
_Not like these, those were way too primitive; this thing is more efficient but at the same time feels... rustic, maybe. Mind if i keep one?
_As you wish, and see if you can take anything useful from them before we move on.
_How much longer can you stay transformed?
_A few more hours, depending on how fast we travel; i think i remember seeing a cave that way -she said pointing with the enormous head- so we'd better hurry now the clouds aren't hiding the moon to find it.
Nodding the man went on to search the bodies for ammo and other supplies; once he was done he jumped on Pieck's back once more and they began their way towards the place she mentioned or would otherwise risk being in the open at daytime. Nobody said anything for a while until the man suddenly straightened on the shifter's back and spoke.
_Is it the one over there by any chance?
Pieck slowed down and looked at where he pointed, while Ymir approached eyeing the forest with her pitch black eyes.
_I... can't really see it. -the Four Legged Titan said hesitating- Are you sure you're not imagining it?
_Trust him, he can see in the dark like a damn cat. -Ymir grumbled at her side- Nanabeets or something like that.
He laughed as they resumed their race and smiled smugly when the cave finally came into sight, hidden behind a group of big trees; both shifters let out a relieved sigh at the prospect of resting but he told them to stop and stay outside before jumping off the titan's back and entering the dark opening blade in hand. Both girls exchanged a glance when they heard a faint slashing sound and a sizzle, then another and after a third he came back.
_Place's clear now. -he said pointing at his back with a thumb- I'll get the fire and beds ready, you take some time to rest.
A while later they were in front of a warm campfire: Ymir and Nikolai sitting on their bedrolls, their gear on a side, and Pieck laying on her belly on hers; none had any intentions of sleeping yet.
_So when did you tell the Corps i'm a shifter? -the freckled girl asked suddenly looking at him.
He shook his head, grinning, then threw a small stick on the fire.
_I didn't, they have no idea. -he said and het eyes widened.
_But then... then why did they let me come with you?
_They trust my judgment, not that they have any choice. You alright Pieck?
Ymir frowned and looked at the other shifter, who wiggled on her spot from time to time as if something bothered her.
_Rocks under the bedroll? -she ventured, but the warrior shook her head and turned to look at them.
_My muscles feel a bit off. -she said grimacing a bit- A side effect from having a quadrupedal titan, i need some time to recover and walk properly; that and some ache while i wait.
_Ouch. So that's why you rest like that.
_Yep, my back and legs have been bothering me a bit.
_We could help with that. -Niko offered suddenly - A massage.
Both girls stared at him, only the cracking of the bonfire being heard; then Ymir snorted and Pieck eyed him cautiously.
_You're kidding, right? -asked the Four Legged Shifter.
_On the contrary. -he replied with soothing voice- I have plenty of knowlegde of human anatomy, and while i mostly use it to cause harm i'm also capable of giving it a more positive end like helping you; a bit of work on your muscles will ease the pain and aid in your recovery. Ask her if i lie. -he finished pointing at Ymir.
The one from Liberio turned to look at the brunette, making her squirm uncomfortably.
_Well, yeah he massaged me a couple times, he's good. And why did you say "we"? -said the freckled one.
_If you give me a hand we'll finish quicker; all you need to do is follow my instructions. If Pieck's willing to let us.
Said shifter shot each one a brief look before giving a small nod, hugging the pillow tighter.
_Great. -Nikolai said standing up and gesturing at Ymir- Pieck, i need you to take off your pants and shirt.
_My clothes? Why? -she answered with slight nervousness.
_Direct contact is better for a massage. Haven't you ever had one? -he asked and she denied- Despite all the effort you put your body through? Poor little thing; don't worry, i know what i'm doing.
Pieck looked at Ymir, who in turn gave her a reassuring nod; sighing, the girl knelt and took her clothes off, glancing at him from time to time. Niko didn't show any signs of ogling, never breaking eye contact and remaining completely neutral; unknown to the shifter, the freckled Corps member was staring right at her toned butt as she laid on her belly once more and the man knelt beside her, calling for Ymir with his hand.
_Now relax, we'll take it from here. -he whispered kindly.
His hands brushed her toned leg quickly finding a spot to work on, pressing and rubbing with just the right strength; his lips showed a hint of a smile when Pieck let out a low satisfied sigh and nodded at Ymir, who began working on the same places. She wasn't as delicate, but her skill was good; he had no doubt she'd applied some of his tricks on Historia.
Ymir's eyes were glued to her legs as Niko worked his way up from her shin to her thigh, licking her lips unconsciously when he approached her buttcheek; her heart rushed with every little sigh, every soft satisfied moan that came out muffled by the pillow made her fingers tremble in need. She eyed him, and he caught her gaze: his mischievous grin a harbinger of doom when his hands went to massage Pieck's lower back and she stiffened slightly, then relaxed again under their touch. Nikolai's fingers worked all over her upper half while Ymir's hands moved on her legs, barely stopping at a hair's width from her butt; the shifter had a hard time trying not to gulp whenever Pieck let out a sound as they massaged her, content at their attention. Suddenly, Niko stopped her massage and leant over to whisper something in Pieck's ear the freckled girl couldn't hear; whatever it was made the Four Legged shifter tense for a moment before eyeing the man, who shrugged and gave her a kind smile, and then glancing at Ymir who was working on her shins.
Pieck's hand went from hugging the pillow to her butt, making the other girl freeze altogether and stare as her fingers pulled her panties to the side...
She was wet. Wet, and offering.
The tall brunette barely registered Nikolai's chuckle as she bent down, her trembling fingers holding the panties away and giving an experimental lick followed by making her tongue enter her womanhood; she wasn't aware of anything other than Pieck's low moan when her index rubbed on her clit: the marleyan shifter lifted her hips and Ymir moved instantly, pulling her underwear down and placing her mouth all over her pussy, hands gripping her buttcheeks tightly.
Ymir felt the sweat run down her temples and forehead as she straightened and took her shirt and bra off, leaning down on her and rubbing her small breasts on her back, grinding on her lustfully while her hands cupped her breasts; Pieck turned to look at her, blushing but not submissive.
_Lick me more. -she demanded.
With an amused growl, the taller girl moved back while the other took her bra off and carefully laid on her back, spreading her legs to her; the Dancing shifter lost no time and began licking her while using a finger to tease her asshole, sporting a wolfish grin while her tongue worked on her labia . Her pubes were short and sparse, Pieck was just about becoming a woman and she was all for herself...
A sudden pressure on her crotch made Ymir look back in a shock, only to find the grey eyed man crouched behind her with his index and middle finger pressing on her vagina through her pants while his thumb pushed hard against her butthole.
_You forgot about me, didn't ya? -he said with fake pained voice- No matter: i'll make sure you notice me now. Keep going.
He let go and stood, discarding his shirt while the shifter resumed servicing the other, hungrily nibbling on her clitoris with care; Pieck moaned and held Ymir down with a hand, watching Nikolai stand up behind the freckled girl.
He took his shirt off, enjoying the shifter's stare when the fire at his right shone on his toned muscles and healed scars; he slowly put his hand in his pants and pulled his half hard member out, earning a low whistle from her.
_Damn. No wonder she likes you so much. -Pieck muttered running her fingers on Ymir's hair.
Said girl answered with a playful bite on her thigh, then got back to licking her wet pussy; Pieck didn't make a sound, her attention divided between the woman burying her tongue inside her and the man kneeling behind.
Nikolai pulled Ymir's clothes down and threw them aside without care then rubbed his tip on her wet entrance, barely prodding the freckled woman; she stopped licking and shot him an impatient look only for him to chuckle and slap her butt.
_Please, we both know you love being teased. -he said smugly.
_Only so much.
Grinning he backed off and leaned down, his hands spreading her cheeks; his tongue ran from her pussy to her puckered hole, gaining a soft hum of pleasure from the shifter when he wiggled on her rear, tickling all around the entrance while groping her butt with force. One of his hands went down and shoved two fingers in her cunt, slick noises coming out as he scissored his digits inside her pussy and feeling her warm juices leak on his hand; after a short while he knelt and rubbed his length on the underside, coating in her fluids with every hump while Pieck moaned at Ymir's tongue going rough with impatience.
_Come the fuck on! -she hissed between licks- Just put it in already!
He quit grinding on her and sighed dramatically, which instantly made the woman feel a spark of caution; he never obeyed her unless he knew doing so would make her wish she'd shut up.
_As you wish. -he purred from behind- Though i was hoping to lubricate properly...
He placed his tip against her ass, and saw with satisfaction she twitched at the contact but said nothing, unwilling to show any signs of backing off.
_... but you'll love it regardless.
He gripped her hips tightly and began pushing forward, slowly opening the way inside her; Ymir moaned against Pieck's pussy, panting as he got halfway in and pulled back. The Four Legged watched her with slight concern when the freckled girl lowered her face and growled when Niko thrusted in.
_Are you sure she's alright? -she asked, running her fingers on her cheek- I mean i know she can regenerate but...
Nikolai chuckled deeply, leaning on the woman he fucked and placing a kiss on her nape before eyeing the marleyan shifter; his hands caressed her firm abs as he pushed in harder, penetrating deeper into the brunette.
_Don't worry about it. -he whispered licking Ymir's ear and thrusting, making her pant- She's had practice and can take it. But most importantly...
He held Ymir by the chin and made her look up; Pieck felt a rush of heat going right to her lower zone when she saw her blushed cheeks and unfocused eyes, a thin strand of drool falling from her gaping mouth that Niko licked all the way up to her mouth, shoving his tongue inside to feel Pieck's taste and making the slim girl moan in such a way that the other shifter felt the need stronger than ever when he broke the kiss and gave her a knowing look.
_She adores being fucked like this, right Ymir? -he said and pumped hard; the woman tightened around him and whimpered- Like a whore, you love it in your ass since that day when i spread your cheeks and impaled you.
He straightened and grabbed a fistful of her hair, shoving her face on the other's drenched womanhood; she reacted instantly, burying her tongue inside and moaning loudly against her, making Pieck shiver in pleasure, unable to look away from the girl being constantly rammed by their companion.
_Come on Ymir, eat that cunt like you mean it! -he demanded with amusement before letting go of her and eyeing the other woman- Perhaps you should teach her properly.
Pieck's hands moved with a will of their own, holding her head by the sides before she realized what she was doing and when she looked up found Niko staring at her in challenge, his breathing fast and balanced, completely dominating the one between them; he intentionally slowed his pace, making the other watch as his cock came out almost completely and then rocked against Ymir pushing the girl against her pussy. The liberian's hips jerked upward and something cliked inside her, keeping Ymir's head in place and starting to rub on her mouth, coating her in her fluids and making the freckled a moaning mess before holding her firmly, mouth to clit.
_Suck it. -she ordered- Suck it!
Ymir seemed possesed when her lips surrounded the pink organ and suctioned, whirling her tongue on the small spot; Pieck threw her head back whenever the tanned girl panted as Nikolai's assault increased its strength, the man now pumping inside her at full speed with his rock hard member.
_F-fingers... finger me! -she panted, and cried in pleasure when three went inside her, slim and long and touching everywhere.
Ymir worked hard to please her, but had a hard time obeying when Niko pushed hard against her, making her slide face first against the shifter's pussy; Pieck grabbed her by the temples and grinded on her, breathing heavily. They kept it that way for a while, with Ymir moaning in between submissively until the liberian pushed her back while eyeing the man.
_Hold her up. -she said dryly.
Nikolai grinned in amusement and pulled the freckled one by her arms until her back hit his chest, pulling half way out then shoving his cock in her ass with force; meanwhile Pieck knelt in front of them, rubbing her wet womanhood on Ymir's thigh and kissing her deeply. The Four Legged moved back and forth, rubbing herself on her tanned skin while their tongues played in each other's mouth and her fingers played with the taller's labia; the freckled girl moaned long and deep when Niko bit on her shoulder hard as his speed increased, and at the same time Pieck frotted faster against her seeking to orgasm.
Ymir felt her head go numb, everything turning blurry as her lovers drove her wild with their rough treatment: felt the warrior fingering her while he pounded mercilessly and a shock ran through her, making her body go stiff; her juices drenched Pieck's fingers when she pushed them in deeper, while her insides tightened around his meat as she came. But they weren't done.
Breathing heavily Pieck stood up, holding Ymir by her hair while fingering herself hard; the shifter's legs trembled as she threw her head back and shoved her crotch against the freckled girl's face, spraying her cheek and lips. Niko chuckled and licked Ymir's wet skin long and slow, enjoying Pieck's taste as he thrusted deep; he held the brunette by the throat with a hand while the other caressed her toned abs, pressing her on him as his pumping became harder breathing on her ear and feeling his cock about to explode.
With a growl he held her by the thighs and stood up, lifting the tanned girl still ramming into her; Ymir whined every time he impaled her, panting as Niko buried deep and strong. The man clenched his teeth when he felt her tighten around him, ready to cum, and pulled out as much as he could.
_Take it! -he hissed in her ear- Take it you bitch!
He shoved his cock deep inside, his cock throbbing as his load shot in her ass; she whimpered when he pumped a few more times, slowly letting go of her legs. Nikolai supported her with a hand on her belly, his member beginning to soften still inside her; Ymir gave a hesitant step, clenching unconsciously when he slid out making a wet noise and feeling his cum leaking down her thigh.
_You're a mess. -he pointed stretching his arms above his head.
_Fuck off. -she mumbled kind of smiling, stumbling towards the supplies crates- Need some water...
Pieck eyed her from her bedding before turning to Nikolai, who sat on his place poking the firewood with a stick.
_Let's hope she'll have some energy left tomorrow. -she said and he smiled.
_Don't worry, she's used to it. -he looked at the freckled woman, done cleaning and laying on her bedroll- In her own particular way.
The marleyan warrior meditated her answer for a moment, but before she could ask anything a soft snore came from Ymir and she stared at the woman surprised by how quickly she fell asleep; Niko gave her a "i told you" look and laid down.
_See? She'll be up like nothing in the morning. I suggest you try and do the same.
Pieck nodded slowly then opened her mouth but suddenly something seemed to click in her head and looked at him; the man narrowed his eyes slightly realizing she was going to ask something that he'd rather not hear.
_We won't need to take watch duty, will we? You... aren't a heavy sleeper, if memory works.
_No. -he admitted and closed his eyes- Nor do i hope to ever be. Goodnight Pieck.
She bit her lip, the temptation of asking more about himself was strong; nonetheless she knew he was right, they needed to rest for the next day's journey. But she'd insist, wether he liked it or not; he'd played on her curiosity to get to her, and Pieck wouldn't miss the chance to quench it. His story was fascinating, intriguing and if his words hinted anything, tragic. But she had to wait; patience was a one of a warrior's greatest virtues.
_Until then... goodnight, Nikolai.
End of chapter.
Ymir's booty status: tapped.
And don't worry, any ships working here or Bastard Days will be Niko x whatever girl he finds.
Well and maybe some lesbian action in between, that's hot.
