Miss Queen B: Hello lovely readers, I hope everyone is doing well. I'll make this short, so on with the notes:
Note One: I'm super happy a lot of people love the last chapter. I really thought it wouldn't be that great since it had a mellow/funny vibe and not completely overboard with emotions like my previous stories. One thing I really love is using Foreshadowing in my writing and I'm glad a lot of people picked that up with the conversation between Rodan and Mosura. Yes, he didn't really like her way back then because he did find her annoying and foolish even though he would eventually fall for her later on in life. I can already tell by the reviews Anguirus stole the show just the way Scylla did. Lol. I wanted to give him a more laid back attitude and just let things go with the flow. Hence why he just let his two companions do whatever they want and would only intervene if necessary. He is to Gojira like Scylla is to Mosura. The one that will be there for their friends no matter what.
Note Two: You have no idea how much conflict and nail-biting it was deciding if there should be a baby in this story. I didn't want to do it because I just thought that would be too unheard of and unnatural even for fanfiction. I even went to dear Hubby for advice and damn, that was a very awkward conversation. He read the Fire Series and told me I can no longer make fun of him for obsessing over Star Wars since I was using my free time to write "Godzilla porn." Anyway, after that he told me it's my story and said. "You just wrote a lizard f***king a moth yet them having a baby is unheard and unnatural?" True, true, plus readers were requesting it so why not.
Note Three: About this chapter: Present time: The King's mind ponders over the Queen's pregnancy and enlist Scylla to convince the Queen, she is indeed carrying. Also, knowing he might cross paths with the fire demon sooner or later, leads to the biggest question: Could there be closure between the two ex-friends. (Flashback) Gojira meets Mosura's best friend, Scylla for the first time and she is not happy with him.
Thanks for the reviews everyone, I love the feedback very much and the songs recommendations. I would add them to my notes and see if I can use them for future chapters. Enjoy.
Part IV
Her Best Friend
~We've been together for a while now
We're growing stronger everyday now
It feels so good and there's no doubt
I will stay with you as each morning brings sunrise
And the flowers bloom in springtime
On my love you can rely
And I'll stay with you…~
Like some many times before in the dark depths of the ocean, the King floated in one spot to ease his mind. With his eyes closed and his body feeling weightless, he flexed his gills to make sure they were working. After months of living with them torn up and useless he was glad to feel the tender muscle moving without pain. Although he was patrolling his terrority, he spent the first day just swimming in the dark and thinking about certain things. He really didn't want to leave his Queen alone due to her being in a delicate situation plus with him swimming around the chances of him running into the bird or the parasite were very high. And Frankly, he didn't have the patience to deal with either one of them. He hasn't seen the bird since their vicious fight which led to his Queen's death and didn't know what to do if he did see him again. Once again, the Queen asked him to leave the bird alone since she ended things with him peacefully and wanted to keep it that way. The damn piece of shit nearly killed him and she wanted him to leave the bird alone? He'll never understand her or the fondness she used to have for fire demon.
She never told him what went on during her last encounter with the bird. He asked her a couple times even going as far as saying he won't react just listen. She shook her head saying it was between her and Rodan and hopes he would respect that. That memory was locked away just like so many others she had with the bird. He didn't get it, she said she would let him see them if he asked, but apparently that one was not allowed. The conversation and the Night they spent together was strictly off limits. He had a feeling she didn't want him to see because Rodan probably told her he still had feelings for her. He was sure he did because it was hard to fall out of love with his beautiful Queen. His Queen could feel the resentment he had for the bird and pointed out that sooner or later, he will cross paths with Rodan and hopefully he will seek closure like she did.
His plates started to pulse, lighting up the dark water with his trademark blue color while slowly spinning around in place. Relax he told himself, releasing air bubbles from his nose, no more thinking about the bird and focus on other important things. Thanks to the quietness around him, he felt the beating of his heart and if he really focus and despite being so far away from her, he can pick up hers as well.
It was calm….steady….mellow. He can sense her happiness and slight boredom being stuck at their home due to her situation. He can also sense her tiredness, no doubt ready for a long nap which he would love to do with her. Focus….focus...focus….he thought so hard, making his face scrunch up.
She said it was a dream, but he knew he heard something coming from her. Not once since they've been together has he ever heard a second pulse coming from her. Not once has her scent or appearance change during her egg cycle. So why now all of a sudden unless she was carrying an offspring-
His head perk up a bit when he felt it. There it is...it was very faint...,but there it is. While hers was calm and steady, this one was beating fast...it was so quiet and light it was making his head hurt to focus on the tiny sound. His eyes open up, seeing the blue light and a few little sea creatures swimming around him. Something didn't add up in his mind. If she was with an offspring, why didn't she say anything. Surely she knew there was something growing in her, the different changes she was experiencing. Either she's trying to hide it from him or she really doesn't know she is carrying. He confronted her about it and she thought he was being ridiculous. She didn't believe it….in fact, he was having a hard time believing it as well…
He was careful when it came to mating with her, he was sure of it. He knew he wasn't the first time they were intimate since emotions were high, they were finally reconnecting after the downfall in their relationship and her heat were driving him mad at the time. His head was too much in a fog and his male urges made him release in her without even thinking, but afterwards he was careful. Though it was hard, that heat of hers lasted a good while and with her allowing him to take her whenever he wanted made it difficult to stay away. She loved it, she would tell him by the way her eyes would glow and her whispering sweet things to him. Damn shame, she cut him off from the sex after getting too rounded out from her egg. Back to the subject in hand, he was careful after their first time, surely, they didn't conceive after that one time, right?
Stretching himself out, he thought about going back and try to talk some sense into his Queen about her egg, but….again, something this sensitive made him uneasy. How can he tell her she might be carrying more than an empty egg? He tried and she didn't believe him.
He knew the solution to his problem and it made his already tired mood fester even more. If he can't convince his Queen she was bearing, he was sure Scylla will. This was a female thing after all and they know how to talk to each other. Though it bothered him that he once again had to go to her for help when it comes to problems with his Queen. Scylla didn't mind helping, it just the pestering and eye rolling looks she would give him during their conversations that bugs him. She respects him as a King and puts up with his because she was the Queen's best friend, but he knew she didn't really like him as a Kaiju. Never did.
Swimming towards his destination which was the Squid Kaiju's nesting ground, he started to remember the first time meeting the pesky female and the reaction she gave him upon the meeting. No fear, no happiness for her friend, just sheer dissatisfaction…..
Hell, she even went as far as trying to convince his Queen to break it off with him…..

(flashback)
~Oh I'll stay with you through the ups and the downs
Oh I'll stay with you when no one else is around
And when the dark clouds arise
I will stay by your side
I know we'll be alright
I will stay with you…~
A low rumble escape his mouth as he stretched himself out on the warm hard ground. There's no better way to enjoy a hot day than sunbathing out in the open and absorbing the heat and radiation in the air. Even better now with Mosura crawling all over his back for his daily grooming session. Still in her larva form, he can feel all those little legs massaging the tender muscles between his plates while she examined him and feed on the sea critters stuck on his back. He tried not to show how much he was enjoying the massage, but unfortunately, he started to purr loud and clear.
I must say, I never thought I would hear you purr like that. Mosura giggled.
You're just hearing things. He said, firmly.
Then why is your tail wagging? She asked, slyly.
He snorted, You know I can throw you off whenever I want, right?
I know, but you won't because you are enjoying it too much.
He rolled his eyes and twitch when he felt her pulling something off his scales followed by her eating something crunchy. Tasty, I live off eating only plants, I never thought little sea critters would be so delicious.
Not that I'm complaining or anything but what's the purpose of this treatment again? He asked.
Pulling off some seaweed tangle around one of his plates, she dropped it to the ground next to him. Why must there be a purpose, maybe I just love doing things like this for you. I'm sure it's hard for you groom yourself.
It was never a priority since it was only him, but now with her around, he didn't realize what he was missing. You don't have to do this you know?
He let out a low groan and stretch out even more if that was possible from feeling her walking down to his neck. Those legs of hers were putting pressure on his muscles in all the right places, making his claws dug deep into the ground.. She let out a few soft clicks before lying down on top of his head. But I want to plus it's a great way for me to get a few yummy treats.
He let out a small snort from his nose and try not to move since she was resting. So how are my spikes.
When he told her about the blue smoke coming out of his plates after his fight with the sea serpents, she crawled onto his back to check on them. The plates were sealed now, but she could see the cracks and remember feeling a blast of power coming from him when they were underwater. It scared the shit out of the sea serpents she recalled before blacking out only to wake up next to him on land. She asked him if that ever happen before or show that kind of raw power and he said no. Just another mysterious thing about him he needed to figure out sooner or later.
They're still fine. No sign of smoke seeping out. I would still be careful though if you want to pick a fight again with another kaiju. She yawned.
Curling up in a ball, he felt so relaxed that he too was ready for an afternoon nap. She saved his ass and treats him well and yet he still hasn't done anything to show gratitude. I wish there was a way I can repay you...He said, closing his eyes.
Well, there's one thing you can do, but I'll tell you after a nap. She said.
…..Alright….He whispered back before falling into a deep slumber.
0000000
That one thing turn out to be something he really didn't want to do. Socializing…., but sure enough, she pleaded with him with those big blue eyes and made him caved. After months of spending time together and letting their relationship soar slowly, she needed to mingle with other kaijus. Apparently, she made friends with a lot of them all around the world and was missing them dearly. He told her he did not like interacting with others because it usually ends in a fight or verbal attacks. He was not a welcoming site to see to a lot of creatures so he tends to keep to himself. Understanding as always, she didn't have to see all her friends, but there was one she really, really wanted him to meet. Her best friend in the whole wide world as she claims and no doubt wondering where she's been in the past few months.
Do we have to? He asked, slouching a bit from her request.
Don't be scared, Scylla is so sweet and wonderful and I know she'll love you just as much as I do.
I doubt that will be possible. He said with a chuckle. No other female could love as much as Mosura did. And I'm not scared.
She giggled, Besides I don't mind going by myself, but it will take a long time to get there in my larva form.
Can you just wait till you're back in your final form? He asked. He wanted to ask exactly how that was possible, but will save that for later. It's been a couple of weeks now since she's been back from the dead as weird as that sounds and he was already missing his beautiful moth. Not that seeing her as a grub bothered him (it's quite laughable in fact), but he would rather have her back with the soft fur and those beautiful wings.
I could, but I really want you to meet her. I talk alot about you to her and it will mean the world to me if you two get along.
He rolled his eyes and goans from this silly situation. He wasn't stupid and knew right off the back what Mosura was applying or hope to get out of this meet and greet. She wanted her best friend's approval with the male she chose. Anqurius told him something about it after finally meeting Mosura for the first time. He didn't even ask, his spiky friend just straight up told him, he finds Mosura wonderful and as weird and funny it is for someone like her to love something like him (whatever that means), he shouldn't pass this opportunity up. Then Anguirus grins and asks him if Mosura had any friends (pretty, unclaimed, friends to be exact). Gojira recalled shaking his head at this though he was pretty sure she mention a name once or twice, but he couldn't remember. Angurius pointed out that if there was a companion in Mosura's life it's best to get along with her as well. If she hates you, she has the power to change the moth's mind about you. Gojira glared at his friend for talking to him like he was in a relationship with Mosura and told him he didn't have to worry about that since he would never see Mosura as a mate. His companion wasn't buying it and just shrugs his shoulders and said, everybody sees it, you're only fooling yourself and I can't wait for that day to come when I can say I told you so…
Even after being dead for years now, Anguirus still managed to get under his scales. And dammit, he was right once again. Here he was in a relationship with Mosura now and she wants him to meet her best friend. This will be the first time he needed to prove himself worthy to be part of Mosura's life to someone and he didn't like it one bit.
Please…
He looked down at the grub and let out a small sigh, Alright, let's go meet this best friend of yours.
She let out a loud thrill and raise her upper body up in front of him. Knowing what that gesture means, he lowered his head down and let her crawl over his snout and face till she settle on top of his head. Hang on. He said, lifting himself up, feeling those little claws digging into his scales for a strong grip. Which way? He asked.
Give me a moment so I can sense her out...She whispered.
Sense her out? He questioned, Is this one of those mind things of yours?
Six Sense, my Love and yes. She said. Being around her for so long, I can sense her out easily.
Does she know you can do that.
Of course, she doesn't mind since I told her it's my way to find her no matter how far away I am. He felt her nudging him to the left which made him turn a bit. That way. She said.
Walking in silence so he can hear her sing her happy little tunes, his thoughts went back to the whole socializing thing. Did he even know how to anymore? Mosura told him things were different now. The stories and rumors she heard about him fighting the Fallen Star over and over again have the others see him in a different light. She said they no longer fear him, but see him as some sort of protector, a high alpha...and mostly a King. He shook his head and thought how ridiculous for them to see him as some sort of King. He didn't fight the Fallen Star just to get praise, he fought them because he was their main target. Everyone else who fought them ended up dead, they told him themselve why can't he just die like the rest of them. Listening to Mosura's song made his heart skipped a beat when reality hit him. The Fallen Star was still out there, hiding like a coward, recovering from their latest battle, evolving no less like he is. If they find out about Mosura being with him-
Are you alright, my Love.
He snapped out of his thoughts and looked up at her concern face. Of course, why wouldn't I be.
You just seem so lost in thought it was hard to read you.
I'm fine, never better. He lied.
Right, She said, clearly not buying his lie. Speaking of thoughts and having a hard time reading you, I was wondering if you want to try something with me?
Perking up a brow as they enter a land surrounded by plants and tall trees with a few little critters he nearly stepped on, he answers. Oh and what is that?
Her little body started to glow a reddish hue, Well, my friend Scylla would tell me when two kaijus want to be together there's a courtship involved and gifts are exchanged. Right?
He didn't like where this is going. She already decided to stay with him so there was no reason for him to court her. Was she blushing because she never got a gift or was she about to bring up the other part of the courtship where he mates and mark her as his. Yes….He said, his voice trailing off a bit.
Well, I have a gift for you that could really increase our bonding, but I want to make sure you'll be Ok with it. She said, getting hotter and redder by the second.
What is it? He asked while his walking slow down a little.
I wanted to see if you want to make a connection with me? She asked.
Now he came to a halt and looked up at her with a rather confused face. A what?
A connection? A great way to bond mentally and emotionally. She said, crawling down to his shoulder to get a better view of him. Which was good since he was having a hard time seeing her on top of his head.
You lost me at emotionally. He said.
She gave him a small smile, It's an easy task, we just have to touch foreheads and I will form a wavelength between us. It's really nice, you'll be able to feel my thoughts, feelings, heart beat and even see my memories and talk to me telepathically.
No. He said, a little too bluntly which took him by surprise more than her.
She jerked back a bit, slightly hurt. Is there a reason why my Love….I mean, it will help us get closer…I know it's hard for you to open up to me so-
If this connection allows me to see everything in your mind I'm guessing it will let you see mine as well, right?
She nodded, smiling again. I know it sounds a lot, but with practice-
No. He said again a little more harshly this time.
But it's my gift to you. She said, hurt from his blunt answer. I want to get closer to you.
I told you, Mosura, there are things I do not wish to talk about let alone allow you to see. He said, thinking about her reaction if she saw the memories of his dark, bloody, lonely life before she showed up. Her opinion on him would surely change or worst leave him.
I will never judge you, my love, you know that. Whatever you did in your past was just you surviving. You would think after everything that happened between us, I'll never think so low of you, ever.
He closed his eyes and sigh, I don't want you to see what I saw.
She let out a soft little whine clearly disappointed that he rejected her gift. No doubt that hurt worse than him not giving her anything. Last thing he wanted was for her to be sad so he let out a harsh groan. Can I think about it first?
That perk up her spirit quickly. Of course.
He shook his head and started walking again. How much further to your friend's nesting grounds.
At this rate we will get there by tomorrow. This is so exciting. I can't wait till I see the look on her face…
That makes two of us. He thought, already dreading the visit.
00000000000
By the next afternoon, they made it to a beach-like area that had a few little islands close by and crystal clear water. The sun was burning hot and Gojira cringe from seeing so many squid-like kaiju's swimming around, sunbathing out in the open and watching little hatchlings crawling around and playing. There was so many of them and it didn't take them long to notice his presence. His pack would come across them a few times since they are both water creatures and can be hostel when it comes to sharing land and sea so he was not taking any chances. Unfortunately, Mosura doze off not to long ago between his back plates to announce their arrival. This has to be the place since before she fell asleep she just told him to go straight till they see a pack of squid-like kaiju and that's where her friend is.
Mosura, now is the time to wake up...He whispered to her while shaking his back a bit. Not that he was afraid of them, he didn't mind cracking a few of their shells to get them to back away from him if needed, but one of these things is Mosura's companion...what the hell was her name again?
The hatchlings scurried to their mothers while some of them back away from him and headed into the ocean. Others, most likely the males, started to crawl closer to him while waving their legs and tentacles around to intimidate him. He chuckled as if they had a chance against him. He was about to speak when he felt something walking up from the left so he quickly turned around and roared at the space invader. The squid-like kaiju crouch down in a fighting position and hiss at him with bright angry eyes.
Back away Squid! He shouted, baring his teeth while wagging his tail.
Then get off our land, lizard! She shouted, stomping her long legs on the ground.
The noise and him moving around quickly woke Mosura up because he can feel her crawling up his back. She peeked her head out from behind his shoulder to see what all the commotion was about. What's going on….Scylla?!
The squid kaiju stopped and lifted herself up and leaned forward to get a better look. Not liking the closeness, Gojira took a step back. The squid cleared her throat. Mosura?!
Put me down, my love. She whispered to him which he leaned down close enough to the ground for her to get off. Scylla stood dumbfounded as Mosura crawled over to her and hug one of her large legs. It's so good to see you again.
She shook her head and looked down at the grub. I thought my sense of smell was playing tricks on me when I couldn't see you and now I see why. What in the world happened to you?! How did you get yourself killed THIS time!? What's going on here?!
Scylla relax, I'm fine, just here for a visit and-
Gojira clears his throat and the two females turn their attention to him. He's not liking the attention of everyone staring at him from afar so might as well get this introduction done and over with and leave.
I want you to meet Gojira. The larva said, nudging her head over to him with a smile. The excitement blinded her from the fact that neither him or the one called Scylla look so as happy as she was.
Scylla let out a low hiss which surprised Mosura a bit. So you're the infamous Gojira everyone is talking about.
He suddenly heard the other squid monsters whispering among themselves and he turned around to see them doing something he never thought he would see. They were kneeling in front of him and-...wait, what did she mean by infamous?
I take it from the look on your face, Mosura didn't tell you. You are well known around the lands for your battles with the Fallen Star. Scylla added, looking at him with a pair of the most judgmental eyes he has ever seen.
He shook his head, No, she told me…..I just didn't think it was true.
She rolled her eyes, Why would Mosura lie, it is that hard for you to believe anything she said-
Scylla, relax, this is all new to him. Come now, how are things with you? She asked.
Without even asking, Mosura crawled up her leg and settle down on her back as Scylla walked past Gojira like he was dust in the wind (even slightly pushing him away) and headed over to the other members of her pack. She gave him another glare before holding her head up high. Well, as you can see, we just went through another breeding cycle.
Aww, I missed it, I'm so sorry, Scylla. I hope you found a male with a great personality.
Please don't start that up again.
But Scylla...again, I don't want you to be alone.
I'm waiting for eighty-five eggs to hatch, trust me, I'm not going to be alone…
Just like that, he was forgotten which he didn't mind as he laid himself down on the ground and observe. Mosura was so happy seeing her rather rude (bitchy would be a better word, but won't tell Mosura that) friend so if she was happy then he can learn to tolerate it. However, it didn't take him long to realize the one called Scylla, Mosura's best friend, didn't like him.
00000000
The visit was awkward to say the least to him. He pretty much stay away and watch Mosura mingle with the other squid kaijus all day. He knew she was keeping her distance so he could have some alone time to get to know her friend who was nesting a tail-length away from him not saying a single word. Below her was a giant hole in the ground with a pile of small eggs which were slightly covered in sand. Sensing his staring, she finally turned her attention to him with a rather disapproval face.
He rolled his eyes and might as well say something to get it out in the open and ease the tension. You don't like me, do you? He asked, bluntly.
She shook her head. Nope. She said bluntly as well, straight to the point, but very politely no less.
Oh shocker, another kaiju hates him, does she know there's a group forming over their resentment towards him. He looked over at Mosura who was playing with the little hatchlings in the shallow parts of the water, having the time of her life.
I keep telling her, she could do better, but alas she never listens to me. She stated.
Not that I care, but you don't know me. Plus, she's mature enough to know what she wants.
She's naive, but caring and she needs someone that will be there for her emotionally and you're not him. You just some bleak a-hole who only looks out for himself with way too many problems for her to handle.
Ouch, well, at least Mosura was right about her being so sweet and honest. I don't need your insults, you rotten little squid because again, you don't know-
I know enough! Scylla whispered harshly at him, shifting over a bit till she was facing him. I lost count how many times Mosura would talk about you. She even told me it was your eyes that attracted her and don't get me wrong, I'm glad something finally slapped some sense into you to accept her even though it took nearly two decades.
If you're so "happy" why the coldness? He asked, peeved while trying so hard not to show teeth.
Because you have caused so much misery in her life due to your ignorance and guess who was the one who had to pick up the pieces every single time? She asked, in a polite yet firm kind of way. It's the same damn story all the time, she would try to get close to you, get to know you and you push her away. You push her away and she would fly over here and tell me all about it with this sad little look on her face.
Hey, it wasn't always like that. She knew I wasn't used to that kind of attention, but I tried.
Yes, I know because she told me you were and I thought great he's finally seeing her for what she is. I nearly lost my footing when she told me she was in love with you. I wanted to tell her no, don't fall for him because I knew you were incapable of loving and she was the last kaiju I want to see get hurt. Do you remember that day when she told you she loves you?
His head jerk back from her question because yes, he did remember that day. In his defense, she picked the worst time to confess something that emotional to him after what happened. That day, there was a storm and he knew the Fallen Star was looking for him. He told her to leave because he didn't want her to get hurt, but she didn't want to leave his side. The Fallen Star showed up and they fought violently all day till they retreated back into the clouds with one less head. Badly injured, she tended to his wounds that night while talking to Angurius about the three headed demon. Then when they were alone, it happened, blood leak down his face, blinding his vision a bit and she used her fur to wipe it up. Their faces were so close and he couldn't stop himself from licking her neck and nuzzling her as tenderly as possible-
That was the first time he ever show any kind of affection to another kaiju, a female to be exact, and she responded without any hesitation. It was quick, it was nice, he was off guard like he was thinking with his heart than with his brain for once...then she told him. In a soft whisper she said, I love you, Goji-, but he didn't give her time to finish. Next thing he knew he was running away, ingoring her cries to come back and even push Angurius out of the way and headed towards the nearest, deepest, sea and never looked back.
Because I do. Scylla said, shaking her head. I had to watch my friend, covered in blood, cry in the rain. Not even caring that mud was splattering all over her. She said you ran away and that right there broke her. It took me a long time to get her out of that depression. And even after that, she still wouldn't let you go. Even after staying away from you for a decade, you were always on her mind. Hell, when I told her if she wanted to try one last time to win your affections, I really thought you were going to push her away again and that will be the end of it.
Guess I proved you wrong. He smirked while wagging his tail.
He can tell that pissed her off a bit by the way her tentacles were curling inward and out. So what, you think you won some prize now?
His eyes went back to Mosura who was now singing one of her happy little melodies to all the little hatchlings. The notes were soft, pure and so relaxing to his hearing. It was the same one she would sing to him to help him sleep at night. Thanks to her, he's been sleeping so well it was almost hard to believe.
In a way, yes he did. She was a rare, kind individual who loves him and only him. I asked her to stay with me and she said yes. I'm truly lucky. He said, giving the squid kaiju a look. He didn't like the way she was interrogating him or bringing up all the bad stuff he did when it came to Mosura.
So why haven't you court her yet? She asked. My spieces don't believe in mates, but I still know how it works. Why haven't you claim her as your own.
Peeved he growled, That's none of your business. You have no right-
Oh, but I do because I care about her and as picky as she is when it comes to the males in my life, I'm the same way. What is she to you? She's not something you can use because you were feeling lonely. She loves you and frankly, it sad to see her waste it on someone like you.
She flinched when she saw his back plates glowing and pulsing from his frustration, but nevertheless, kept his face compose. I'm not here to fight and again, I really don't care what you think of me, but you are her friend and I respect that. But, I'm not going to stand here and take your badgering so you better listen. Yes, I made mistakes, she got over it so you might as well too. And no matter how much you hate it, she is with me and I'm not going anywhere and will make sure she will be safe and taken care of, ALRIGHT!
He didn't realize while she was lowering herself to the ground, he was towering her in a threatening sort of pose. At the corner of his eyes, he can see the other squid kaijus looking at them with concerned faces. Wondering if he was going to attack or vise versa.
She huffed and gently pushed him away. I would hope so for your sake. I would hate to see the day when you take her for granted and another male comes in and show her what she is missing.
Like that would ever happen. Mosura made it clear where her heart stands and it was with him. Well, that's just another thing I need to prove you wrong then, right? He said, sounding too much of an asshole than he meant to be.
They stared at each other, feeling her glare piercing through his head like a sharp tooth. She didn't like him, he gets that and part of him was glad Mosura had a friend like her. Scylla is just looking out for the moth especially since she knows all the crap he's done over the years. But she will have to respect that he was now part of Mosura's life and needs to back off!
Do you love her? She asked. The glaring and the disapproval in her face was gone and she was now being serious. What do you see yourself with her? As a companion? As a mate? What if she wants hatchli-
Is everything ok here?
They turned their heads over to find Mosura looking at them with a nervous look on her face. He stared back at Scylla who gave him a "put on a happy face to show her we are getting along" look. Utter bullshit, but fine so he did.
Of course, my little friend. What makes you think there's something wrong? Scylla said with a bright look on her face. Damn, she's good.
I just heard some yelling and I just want to make sure there's no fighting. You don't want to scare the hatchlings, Right?
The two nodded at the same time which made Mosura smile. So everything alright? She asked.
Yes, my little moth, we were just…..talking….Gojira said, looking over at Scylla with a shit-filled grin. Mousra was a little thrown off by his pet name for her.
She nodded, Pardon the noise, you know how I get after I laid my eggs. A little testy.
A little...He mumble to himself while rolling his eyes. He cleared his throat and stare down at Mosura, Are you ready to go?
I hope not, at least stay for the night. Scylla asked, knowing very well he would detest that.
And he did…
000000
It was the middle of the night when he started to stir a bit in his sleep. Shifting a bit, he realized he couldn't feel the weight of Mosura on his head and opened his eyes to scan his surroundings. The squid-kaijus were still asleep and he can hear the gentle sound of the waves from the gulf and the moon shining down on their terrority. Scylla's nest was empty other than for her eggs and Mosura was gone as well.
I'm just looking out for you…
He heard whispering and turn his head over to the shoreline to see Scylla lying down next to Mosura, no doubt having their so called "Girl Talk" like a lot of females would do. Staying still so he wouldn't interrupt them, he listen in..
I know you had your concerns, but I thought once you meet him you would like him...Mosura whispered, her body turning a dull blue.
I don't and I'm sorry for saying that, but Mosura be reasonable about this-
I am, I never felt so sure about anything-
You could do better-
She shook her head, Don't talk to me like I'm some youngling.
There are "better" options out there, Mosura. I've seen other males look at you the way you look at Him and had a few come to me about you and they have better potential-
Enough, Scylla. After so long, he's finally coming around and see me for what I am and you have to audacity to ask me to leave him? She let out a small sigh and whispers….He needs me….
He could hear Scylla scoffed loudly, no doubt angry at Mosura's stupidity. He doesn't love you, Mosura, you told me yourself, you two have been together for months now and there's still no courtship, he has yet to tell you how he feels about you, and he rejected your gift to connect which I know means a lot of you.
He said he would think about it.
Why can't you see that's not enough. Why is it you are the one making the sacrifices and waiting for him to get his crap together. You told me you died because you had to save him.
We both were ambushed, he had a fatal wound and unlike me, he can't be reborn. I would've done the same thing if it was you.
See, he can't even protect you-
Scylla, the last thing I want is for you to be disappointed in me…
I'm not, but again, I know you can do better...you are very emotional, passionate and full of life creature, Mosura. Your beauty alone is enough to attract so many suitors and you need to find a male that will make you grow not always second guessing or bring you down because he is incapable to love. Does he see you as a lifetime mate? What if you want eggs and he doesn't? He's a target and rivals will see you as a way to get to him….
Mosura stayed quiet, letting her friend's words sink in and for a minute, Gojira thought she would agree and felt his heart skip a beat. Would she leave him because her stupid friend didn't like him. Didn't she see him as a good mate for the moth. What did Scylla know anyway, he was still trying to figure out this whole relationship and taking things slow, but at least he was trying and that should be enough. Mosura's body started to glow red all of sudden.
It's my choice, Scylla and if you can't respect that then maybe I shouldn't come around anymore...She said, though she clearly didn't mean it and regretted it as soon as it left her mouth.
Oh Mosura, don't be that way….Scylla said, in disbelief. Staying calm mostly likely so she won't wake up the other members of her pack. I'm just looking out for you like you do for me.
You trust me right? She asked.
Of course I do. Scylla nodded quickly.
Then I know what I am doing. I want to stay with him, my friend, for once I actually feel truly happy.
Scylla exhale and shook her head. Are you sure I can't change your mind. She asked quietly.
I love you, Scylla, but no…
Scylla sigh and let her tentacles caress the larva's face. You are such a headache, but so be it….but, he better not get it in his head that I'll kneel to him as well. I think being called a King is a bit of a stretch.
Mosura giggled and crawl over till they were pressing their foreheads together. A small blue glow appeared between them and somehow whatever Mosura did settle Scylla down.
Feel better? Mosura asked.
Well, the headache is gone, but that doesn't change the subject. I just hope you know what you are doing?
I am. I can't see myself with anyone, but him.
You are hopeless, Mosura, completely hopeless….
As much as he didn't like it, they ended up staying for a few days, so Mosura can catch up with Scylla. He pretty much stayed in one spot away from the pack to sleep or watch over the little larva. Scylla didn't really talk to him much, but was able to tolerate him like he did with her. He didn't mention to Mosura what he heard that night and she didn't tell him either and that was fine. There's no sense causing more conflict or tension. Finally, after what seemed like forever, Mosura was ready to leave. He silently waited as his little moth nuzzled her friend good-bye with a promise to see each other again.
Are you sure you can't stay any longer. I'm sure you're about to cacoon soon. Scylla asked.
I'm fine. You know me, I can't stay in one spot like you can.
Alright, take care than. Scylla said. The Squid's eyes trailed up to his with that same disapproval look. Both of you...She managed to say.
He stared down at her as Mosura crawled on top of his tail and work her way up to his back. Trust me, squid, she's in good hands.
I hope so. She said. I would hate to be right about you. And soon they left to their next destination which was a more secluded place for Mosura to cocoon to her final form.
They were miles away from Scylla's nesting grounds when he felt Mosura nuzzling his cheek. Thank you for this visit, my Love. I told you she would like you.
He could call her out on that lie, but he knew she was just sparing his feelings. She was alright….I can tell you mean a lot to her. She's very protective of you. He said.
She sighs, Yeah, it can get a little too much for me sometimes. She said I can be very high-maintenance. Can you believe that?
…..Do you really want me to answer that?
When she didn't say anything he could actually feel her pouting and decided to change the subject. So Scylla didn't like him and thought of him as a bad match for Mosura, well, he loves a challenge and will gladly prove the little pest wrong.
So tell me more about this connection thing?...
~And there will be heartaches and pains, yes it will
But through it all, we will remain
In this life, we all know
Friends may come, they may go
Through the years I know
I will stay
And in the end I know that we'll find
Love so beautiful and divine
We'll be lovers for a lifetime, yeah
And I'll stay with you
I'll stay with you~
Stay with you by John Legend

(Present)
It was morning when he finally made it to Scylla's nesting ground to find her alone (No Muto in site for now) soaking in the shallow parts of the water and he was greeted with a bow.
How's it going, Dear King. She said, with a mellow tone. I'm surprised to see you without the Queen.
He settled on all fours so he can be at eye level with her and stayed in the ocean. All is well. He said, simply. I'm just doing my partrol while she stays behind and rest.
I'm glad to hear that. I was about to take off because she sent me a message to go see her.
Yes, she told me that before I left and I hate to ask, but she's the reason I'm here. He said, looking around the land for a moment. You are alone, right?
Muto went out to explore the lands though making sure to stay away from populated areas so no need to worry. Why?
I don't want her to hear what I'm about to say.
I understand, the last thing I need is another brawl to ruin my nesting ground.
It's been a month, Scylla, the Queen already apologize for it.
She chuckled while nodding, I know I just need to give you a hard time. So what did the Queen or you do this time?
The King lifted himself up till he was sitting down and stared down at her. What makes you think there's a problem?
When it comes to you or her coming to me for advice there's always a problem, so what is it? She asked calmly while taking a drink of water.
The Queen's pregnant...He said, calmly.
Scylla spat out her water and lifted herself up from the ground in one quick motion. Yup he was expecting that kind of reaction as he waited for her to calm down. Shaking her head, she looked up at him, I'm sorry, what?!
You heard me. Damn, the only time he can recall this kind of reaction from her is when he told her about the bird and the Queen's little tryst.
Yes, but how is that possible? She questioned then realize how horrible that sounded.
He raise a brow from her stupid question. Do you really want me to explain it to you….Seriously, she laid plently of eggs to know in order to get those there had to be sex involved.
She backed away and laughed nervously for some reason. Oh, no, no, no, no,...sorry...I just thought...well, Mosura once told me….actually nevermind that….wow….I mean….she told me you two were doing well and finally patching things up….I just didn't think….You surely didn't wait….not that she will tell me if you two...wow….
You are making this very uncomfortable ...He said, slowly.
I'll stop. She said, exhaling a bit. Wait a minute, she was here a couple of weeks ago, why didn't she tell me she was-
That's why I need you to talk to her. I don't think she knows.
Now how in the world does she not know?
You're asking the wrong kaiju here. This is a female thing and I know you had laid plenty of eggs to know the signs. He said, making sure he word that correctly.
Scylla did the biggest eye roll he has ever seen. Our almighty King that can vaporize a city with ease, but can't talk to his mate about eggs and hatchling bearing? I should be worried?
I would shut it if I were you. He said, calmly and annoyed no less.
She sighed, If she doesn't know what makes you think she is?
Her smell is off and through our connection I can hear a second pulse coming from her. It's very faint, but it's there. I asked her about it and she said I must be hearing things due to the lack of sleep.
Well, females' scent due change when they are expecting. The males I would breed with would tell me I would have a sweeter scent which means the breeding was a success.
Can you tell that to her instead of me so we don't have to make this conversation any more awkward.
Trust me, Dear King, there's going to be a lot more awkward conversations coming your way if she is expecting. Walking past him to head deeper into the water. Don't worry, I'll take care of the situation….again….I'm sure its just a fluke. She would've told me if she was having an offspring.
He rolled his eyes since she literally spat out the word "again." Ok, it was true, he and his Queen have been depending on her too much to fix things, but hey, she knew what she was getting into when it comes to his Queen. The memory of their first time meeting crossed his mind again and he frowns. Hey… He called out to her.
She stopped and turned around to face him. Yes?
He inhale a large amount of air sharply before letting it out slowly, When we first met, we were not on good terms, remember?
Surprise by his question, but nodded no less. Yes, I remember. Why?
You told Mosura she had better options than me and for the longest time I thought you were full of shit…
Well, back then I meant it because honestly, you broke her heart once and I knew you would do it again. She asked.
Well, Rodan told me the same thing, not caring about the consequences and when two different kaijus have to same opinion, you can't help, but think if it's true or not…..
Like you said, Dear King, she made her choice. And I told you before after the whole Rodan thing, she would never leave you and you two need each other.
But do you still believe there are better options out there beside me. He asked.
She sighed, Is "better options" another way to say was Rodan a better match for her?
Don't be foolish. He snapped. I'm just curious.
I don't understand why you let what Rodan or I say about you get to you so much. She made her choice. You need to let this go, Dear King. because if you keep nip picking at it, it will destroy you. You already proved to me you are good enough to be with Mosura a long time ago, but seriously, is it my opinion you really want to hear or someone else?
I don't know what you are talking about. He said, looking away.
Suit yourself, but I think Mosura is right about you needing closure as well.
The Queen and I already work things out there's no need for closure.
I know you're not that dumb to know who she was talking about. The other one who think Mosura could do better. Scylla said, before sinking all the way into the water.
He growled and stood there to collect his thoughts. He just ask a simple question and instead of a simple answer she gives him this shit. Why did they feel like the only way to let things go was to get closure from the stupid bird. He hated this unsettling feeling. Ever since getting himself ready to protral his terrority the thought of running into the bird has been stirring up unwanted memories and resentment. He was still out there somewhere and knowing that really made him uneasy. The same way he felt his Queen's uneasiness about the Muto. So what if Rodan thought he was better for Mosura than him. The Queen made it clear to the fire demon who she wanted to be with. There's no need for closure. He had other things to worry about like how was his Queen going to react when she realizes she is carrying his egg. A cold chill went down his spine when it dawn on him that he was going to be a-
And here I thought she would never leave….A sinister voice chuckled.
He didn't have to turn around to know who was behind him.…..
Please review and stay wonderful!
