A/N: Turned out a bit shorter this one did, but fluff all the same~ One of the three Noshiro fics I wrote in one day, when I was in a weird Noshiro mood. Might need to do another fic of her at some point though; Noshiro's just lovely~

Do enjoy~


With The Fireflies

New Years had once again arrived to the Sakura Empire; fireworks echoing as they popped high up in the sky.

As was the usual yearly tradition Azur Lane gathered in the Sakura Empire to enjoy it; usually alternating between the Sakura Empire, Dragon Empery and Eagle Union, with other nations hosting other yearly holidays and celebrations. As such many of the stores and stalls about the winding streets were hosted by Sakura Empire Ship-Girls, from Akashi with her gift shop to Hanazuki with her ramen shop to Takao selling ornate katanas to willing buyers; those that weren't hosting stalls instead wandering the street themselves.

The Commander basked in the vivid atmosphere, walking calmly down the dirt street and clad in a deep blue kimono. He weaved through the throngs of people about, sometimes slowing to pass a greeting onto a familiar face before continuing, wisely not stopping in the middle of the street. He didn't walk alone however; hanging off his right arm was the graceful form of Noshiro – both his lover, and his date for the night. Clad in a red kimono with a black skirt she struck a stunning figure, her long legs clad in silky black pantyhose ending with a pair of red geta footwear, a feather boa loosely wrapped around her shoulders.

''It's quite lovely here isn't it.'' The Commander leaned down more to her height and murmured into Noshiro's ear, smiling.

''Mm.'' Noshiro gracefully smiled back; the expression previously so rare, but one that had only become more and more frequent as their relationship deepened.

Humming the Commander kissed her on the cheek, relishing how they warmed up in embarrassment. Noshiro held onto his arm tighter and tugged him through the throngs of people, perhaps to escape a familiar face from seeing them so he didn't resist, letting his lover guide him away from the busy walkway and take him to a busy, but ultimately less-populated street; the dirt pathway winding in a slow curve with stalls lining both sides. As they neared it however he noticed a gap between two stalls, drawing his eye.

A gap that turned out to be because of a torii gate; the red structure sat with a dirt path leading underneath it and into the forest beyond. Several white pillars were visible in the darkened forest, some hanging lanterns the only source of illumination – leaving it dim and a bit spooky, yet with a mystique to it that admittedly charmed him. Noshiro noticed his reaction and smiled faintly, tugging on his arm and nodding her head towards the torii gate.

''It leads through the forest and comes out nearer the harbour.'' Noshiro explained. ''Come on.''

The Commander didn't resist, the couple abandoning their planned path and taking a right instead, walking under the torii gate. The loud tenor of the crowd quite rapidly grew quiet as they stepped along the dirt path, some old stone strips forming a vague pathway through the unlit forest. Dark green trees and overhanging canopies seemed to isolate it from the rest of the festival, the path curving slightly to the left and descending gradually with the hill – the decline so slight you would be hard-pressed to even roll down it, or even notice it went down at all at times, getting steeper at short sections instead.

Gradually the festival ambiance waned as the path curved away from the main streets, leaving the air pleasantly quiet. The couple walked mostly in silence, only a couple murmurs shared between them. That was until they spotted moonlight reflecting off of some water, tempting both of them to slow down – spotting a small pond halfway down the slow hill, a trickling streams spluttering down into the pond and with the excess water running down a stream towards the ocean.

What was truly encapsulating about it however wasn't the pond itself, but the fireflies above it – a soft hum escaping Noshiro as she saw the green fireflies that hovered and flew about above the water, their reflections visible on the water's surface. Though it was a simple sight it was nonetheless a pretty one; one firefly in particular drawing their eyes as it flew close to them, ultimately flying just past their heads and going on its way.

In the process though it made him look at Noshiro, the distant lights from the fireworks illuminating her face momentarily.

He cupped her cheek then. ''Have I told you how beautiful you look tonight, Noshiro?''

The cruiser flushed pink, a slight smile curling at her lips, embarrassed but flattered. ''...you did, yes.''

''Then I'll say it again then.'' The Commander teased, leaning down. ''You're beautiful.''

Anything Noshiro intended to say was silenced with a kiss; muffling Noshiro's words down into a simple hum. Noshiro laid her hand over his and reciprocated with barely a second's delay, moaning softly as her lips meshed back against his. Keeping their lips sealed together he dragged out the kiss for a couple moments before breaking it off for air, panting lightly, only to reignite the kiss after just a few moments.

''Mmph... Mm...'' Noshiro ran her thumb over his knuckles gently. ''Commander...''

She pulled away from the kiss, her cheeks growing redder as she gently nodded over to the right of them where some bushes laid. ''...let's go somewhere more private.''

The Commander's own cheeks dusted pink and he agreed, taking her hand in his and squeezing it. Noshiro smiled and dipped her head in a slight nod, leading him away from the dirt path and over to the bushes – finding a sparse patch and pushing her way through them, leaving it up to him to follow. They didn't need to go more than a dozen feet before the bushes grew sparse, forming a patch of grass that they could sit down on, the depression in the ground meaning they were safely hidden from the footpath.

Something that prompted the Commander to grab Noshiro's shoulders and push her to the ground. His lover grunted, lips parting – only to moan as he claimed her lips in a deep kiss, She reciprocated with equal passion, moaning into his mouth and wrapping her arms around his neck, pulling him down on top of her until their bodies were flush together. Several times they pulled apart only to reconnect their lips in a heated kiss, getting more and more into it by the second.

''Mn...'' The Commander shifted his hands down to her red kimono top, grasping the folds and tugging them apart.

Noshiro let out a lilted moan, retreating from the kiss. ''So eager...''

''You're too irresistible.'' The Commander teased back, kissing her chin.

A smile curled at Noshiro's lips, her ensuing moan partially muffled by a kiss – both of them introducing their tongues into the mix at the same time. They met between their mouths, touching tentatively at first before curling around each other's, one slithering atop the other or teasing the underside of the other, the slow tongue play put on pause as they broke apart for air, panting; and then sealed their lips together in the next moment and tongue-wrestled some more.

At the same time he tugged on her kimono a little more, pulling it open and revealing her collarbone, her skin creamy and without flaw. The Commander broke off the kiss and buried his face into her neck, kissing at her collarbone and working his way down. He soon found what he was looking for, lust igniting within him as he saw the smooth curves of her breasts, another firm tug at last pulling her kimono down under her bust, revealing her plump breasts in all their glory.

''No bra?'' The Commander teased.

''You don't normally wear one with a kimono...'' Noshiro murmured embarrassedly.

The Commander merely smirked, leaning down and groping both of her breasts – pulling her left up and taking her nipple into his mouth, sucking. Noshiro pursed her lips and mewled, eyelashes fluttering shut as he sucked on her boob; her tits rounded and plump but with some perkiness to them, only encouraging him to suck on them with lustful intent.

Popping his lips off her left the Commander leaned over, his tongue deviously slipping out and licking at her right nipple several times – before then with a swift inhale he took said nipple into his mouth, sucking on it. His hands weren't idle either and eagerly continued to massage her breasts; squeezing and groping them with expert fingers, knowing how gentle or how rough she liked it. From experience he knew she preferred more gentle stuff but wasn't opposed to him being a bit rough with her tits, provided he did nothing that would leave a bruise or bite mark later on.

''Mn... ah...'' Noshiro moaned softly as he popped his lips off of it; the cold air making both her nipples erect. ''Ahh... Command- Mmph~''

Once again he cut her off with a kiss; her words melting into a senseless moan, her hold on him tightening as she returned the kiss. Loosening her hold a few moments later she allowed him to squirm out of her grip, her cheeks reddening as he leaned back a bit, one hand reaching down. With hasty hands the Commander loosened his kimono and let it spill open, revealing his striped boxers. Stealing a kiss from her he pulled his boxers down and grasped his cock, jerking himself off and getting himself fully erect.

''Doing it out here... we'll have to be quiet.'' Noshiro murmured to him.

''I hope you can manage.'' The Commander teased.

Noshiro flushed and pouted at him, lips puffing out cutely – the rare expression one he savoured for a second before kissing her, washing away the pout and melting it into a smile. At the same time he reached down and carefully ripped a hole in her pantyhose, tearing the crotch seam just enough for him to get his dick in but not enough that it'd be visible when she walked about; two of his fingers slipping in through the hole and fumbling about, touching her panty-clad crotch until he found the edge of her black underwear and pulled them aside, exposing her folds.

Breaking off the kiss the Commander leaned over Noshiro, supporting himself with one hand and guiding his cock forth with his cock hand – pausing only long enough to spit on his cock and rub his saliva into his dick before lining up with her entrance, pressed the tip against her folds; and with a deep, satisfied moan the Commander penetrated his lover, his cock sinking into her searing heat.

''Mn!'' Noshiro tensed up and clutched onto him, tense. ''E-Easy...''

The Commander hissed an agreement; his cock pushing its way into her sex with some resistance. Doing it dry with only some saliva to use as lube forced him to take it slow, planting his hands on either side of his lover and sinking into her inch by inch – stopping once two-thirds of his meat was in Noshiro. Her pussy felt unbelievably hot; squeezing and quivering around his length in ways that left him groaning in subdued pleasure, staying still and just giving her a moment to get used to having his cock in her.

Then with a grunt he reared his hips back, his girth scraping her inner walls as he pulled his cock nearly all the way out, before with a hiss he went back in. Over and over again the Commander carefully pistoned in-and-out of her womanhood, gradually pushing in deeper as she got used to it, relaxing somewhat. And eventually he was balls-deep in her, his bare pelvis pressed flush against her clothed one. The feeling of fullness that came with it drew a hot moan out of Noshiro, her lips parting to let the sound slither out.

''Commander...'' She breathed, casting a loving smile up at him. ''Go faster... I want to feel it, heh...''

The cute request was too inviting for the Commander to resist, and with vigour he obliged - hips rearing back before bucking forth. A hot moan nearly escaped Noshiro but she covered her mouth just in time, muffling the loud sound lest they be caught. The Commander took that as a challenge however, grunting as he began to fuck her more firmly, clapping his pelvis against hers and driving his throbbing meat into her quivering hole.

Just then they heard laughter coming from further up the hill. The Commander tensed and went stiff in more ways than one, his cock throbbing against her clenching walls, both of them holding their breath. It was a small group of guys and girls, laughing and giggling amongst themselves... but the Commander was already too deep to stop now, and thus with a quiet hiss he resumed thrusting, his cock scraping Noshiro's clenching inner walls.

''Mn...'' Noshiro screwed her eyes shut, grunting into her clasping palm.

On the path the voices grew louder as they too noticed the pond, cooing at the fireflies or snapping some photos. All whilst they remained unaware of the couple a mere dozen feet away, gruffly grunting and gasping under their breaths. The risk of being caught however fuelled the Commander's lust, his gaze wandering down to Noshiro's flushed face as he sheathed his cock in her pussy, every thrust slow but strong, getting him balls-deep in her sex.

His gaze then wandered lower, and in a burst of lust he moved his right hand from the grass to her breast; groping her left tit. Noshiro tightened sharply around his cock, her walls smothering his dick as he flicked her nipple about with his thumb, bringing a tight smile to his face as he kept fucking her dry, any pain both felt converted into carnal, naughty pleasure. Doubly so when they were at risk of being caught.

''Hey, do you guys hear something?'' One of the guys asked.

''Um... no?'' A girl answered. ''Probably just a racoon anyway. Let's go.''

''No, I heard it too.'' Another girl answered. ''Someone go check it out.''

Noshiro tensed beneath him, lavender eyes opening and locking eyes with his. Even if he pulled out they would be left in a compromising position, so the Commander shook his head and kept thrusting, albeit slower – restraining a hiss of pleasure as he felt a distinct heat throb up his cock. He resisted the urge to let the pleasure run loose, ears keenly listening to the group of guys and girls as they discussed checking it out, one of the guys volunteering-

-only for another guy to speak. ''Just leave it. It might be a weird animal, might be someone fucking, I don't care - let's just get to the docks before the next round of fireworks kick off.''

Murmurs were passed around – and to both Noshiro and the Commander's relief the others agreed, all of them making their way down the path and soon disappearing out of hearing range.

''Finally.'' The Commander murmured under his breath, smiling tightly down at his panting lover. ''You can moan now.''

Noshiro took her hand off her mouth and smiled exasperatedly up at him, one hand landing on the back of his neck and pulling him down into a kiss – both of them moaning into it as he resumed thrusting, and with vigour. His pelvis smacked against hers much louder as they stopped holding back, her pussy slick with arousal now as his cock plunged between her walls and stuffed her tight hole full. Her lithe legs buckled and rubbed against his hips, not wrapping around his waist but still tempting him to reach down and hold onto them, grunting gutturally as he pounded her raw.

''Ah, yes...!'' Noshiro gasped, nodding jerkily - encouraging him. ''Commander, faster, I'm- hah, cum, c-cumming...!''

The gasping, laboured words preluded her vaginal walls tightening around him, conforming to the shape of his pulsing shaft – before with a shrill gasp Noshiro orgasmed, her whole body tensing up. The Commander gritted his teeth and kept thrusting, gasping out a breath when her walls pressed against his shaft in a way that felt immensely good. Then faster than he knew it his orgasm hit; an explosive moan tumbling out of his throat as he exploded inside her, thick gushes splattering against her seizing walls and pumping straight into her womb with every thrust, her wetness letting him pump into her with vigorous smacks of skin.

''Mn! Mm! Nn!'' His thrusts grew slower but stronger, each thrust spurting more of his semen into her depths.

Until soon his stamina waned, and with a low groan he just went balls-deep and stayed there, stiff. He remained so for several long moments, his pleasurable high gradually waning and an almost-dizzying wave of fatigue washing over him. With a stiff moan he relaxed, his elbows digging into the grass as he leaned over his lover, both of them panting and gasping for air.

''Ah... yes...'' Noshiro let her eyes shut; simply catching her breath. ''Mm...''

The Commander leaned down, kissing Noshiro on the chin and earning a soft moan from his lover, her head tilting back and allowing their lips to meet in a gentler kiss. For a minute they just laid like that, his cock twitching between her velvety walls, before eventually he pulled out with a stiff groan, allowing a thin but steady stream of cum to seep out of Noshiro's slit.

''Mn... that was nice...'' Noshiro breathed, cupping his cheek. ''And dangerous too.''

Chuckling he merely leaned down and kissed her once more. ''Worth it.''

A soft, pretty giggle answered him, warming his cheeks. Shifting back the Commander climbed up to his feet and offered his lover a hand, a hand that Noshiro daintily took, cheeks pink as he hefted her up into his arms and brought her into a much deeper, more passionate kiss. She moaned into his mouth and reciprocated, losing themselves in each other for just another few moments.

After adjusting their clothes a little they would continue down to the harbour – getting there just in time to catch the best of the fireworks, their quick deed in the forest unmentioned to all but each other.
