Lucina had once seen her father and her mother be brutally slain by the forces of the Fell dragon Grima, countless of her allies were lost in the struggle as well. But when she traveled back in time to fight by her father's side once more, to defeat Grima before he could even fully appear, Lucina had been able to find happiness once more. Fighting by her father's side was what made her live worth living. Or at least, so she thought, until she found out that both of her parents would also be participating in the coming Smash Brothers tournament.
Lucina, her father Chrom, and her mother Robin, all traveled to the Smash Brothers coliseum together and when they got to the entrance Chrom exclaimed loudly how excited he was to finally be there. Lucina, meanwhile, checked around frantically to make sure nobody was looking at the them weirdly over her father's behaviour.
Lucina had quite enjoyed her last Smash Bros tournament, she enjoyed being away from the actual battlefield to be somewhere, relatively, safe where she could make new friends without fearing that they might die at any moment. But now that her father was here she feared that she might not have the chance to make so many new friends.
''Look at those,'' Chrom exclaimed as they entered the trophy ridden hallway at the entrance, pointing at all the various sculptures.
Before either of the ladies knew it Chrom had dashed over to the trophies of his wife and daughter to take a closer look.
''You know…'' Robin said as she walked over to him, ''you'll have plenty of time to look at me later tonight. But I think our daughter wants to get checked in first.''
Lucina had a gag reflex when she heard her mother say this but when both her parents looked back at her she smiled, glad that at least her mother understood what she needed.
After the three had checked in and gotten the keys to their apartments they moved to the north wing to unpack. Lucina had dreaded having to live in the apartment across the hall from her mom for the duration of yet another Smash Bros tournament but Robin shared some exciting news.
''For some reason they gave us separate apartments…'' Robin said, looking a map of the place, she was referring to her getting her old apartment on the fifth floor again while her husband got one on the sixth, ''But don't worry Lucina, I'll move in with your dad's''
Lucina realised that she probably should have seen this coming and yet this took her by complete surprise, ''Really?'' she asked.
''Yes,'' Chrom interjected, ''We're married for a reason, you know. Plus, this will give you some room away from us.''
Lucina felt extremely grateful; she loved both her parents dearly but she really did want to use this opportunity to be away from her normal life, at least for a while.
Chrom put his arm around Robin, ''We'll get set up upstairs, but will we have dinner together this first time at least?''
Unlike most other royals, who prefer to dine in the confines of their own apartment, Lucina knew that her father would much rather eat with as many people around as possible, ''Of course,'' she said, ''It would be my pleasure to introduce you to everyone.''
The east wing only had one dining hall and it seemed mostly unaltered from when Lucina last participated. She had been sitting there, having already gotten a meal, with the people she grew closest with last time, waiting for her parents for an hour or so now. Lucina was sitting next to Palutena and across from them, at the other side of the table, sat Luigi, Shulk, Corrin, and a new guy named Richter, who had apparently already become good friends with Luigi.
When Lucina spotted her parents entering the dining hall she waved at them until they noticed her and it wasn't long before they took a seat at the same side of the table as their daughter.
''Everybody,'' Lucina began, ''you already know my mum but this is my dad, Chrom, as well.''
There were general greetings thrown around for a little bit before Lucina introduced the rest to her father as well, ''Dad, this is Corrin, also a princess, from the legendary kingdoms of Nohr and Hoshido, it's a very complicated situation and we're not going into that now.''
Chrom and Corrin shook hands before Lucina continued, ''This is Shulk, he's sort of a visionary, he's able to see into the future.''
Chrom seemed really impressed, albeit a bit skeptical, over this.
''And this is Luigi, his broth…'' but Lucina corrected herself soon enough, ''No, he hunts ghosts and was one of the original twelve fighters in the very first Super Smash Bros tournaments.''
Lucina then arrived at Richter, who she had only met mere moments earlier, ''I believe his name is Richter, he think he also hunts ghosts or something,'' Richter seemed a bit annoyed over his half-baked introduction, ''As you can tell,'' Lucina continued, ''he's also new here so we haven't really gotten to know each other yet.''
''And lastly,'' Lucina diverted everyone's attention to the green-haired goddess besides her, ''This is my…'' She was about to say something but caught herself before actually saying it, Lucina then played with the words in her mouth a bit before starting again, ''This is Lady Palutena, Goddess of light, another good friend of mine.''
Chrom and Palutena shook hands, ''a pleasure,'' Palutena said, ''I've heard about much about you.''
''I hardly imagine there be much to hear.'' Chrom responded in his usual modest way.
The whole meeting had seemed to go well but yet the mood had shifted; Luigi, Shulk and Corrin all shifted uncomfortably but none of them spoke up.
While Chrom did not seem to register the shift in mood his wife did, and acted upon it; ''Come dear,'' she said pulling Chrom away from the group, towards the cafeteria, ''let's see what they're serving today.'' Leaving the six younger fighters to talk about what had just happened.
Lucina did not know what to say; Palutena just sat there with her arms crossed, not making eye contact with anyone; Luigi, Shulk, and Corrin did not want to get involved with anything; but Richter, much like Chrom, had not noticed the problem so he continued conversation as normal, ''So,'' he started, ''I had expected your parents to be a bit older, but they hardly look older than you.''
To alleviate the tension a bit Lucina decided to turn this into a joke, ''Oh gee, thanks for telling me I look old Richter. That's not a very nice thing to say to a lady.''
This managed to get an audible laugh out of both Shulk and Corrin, and Lucina could have sworn she even heard Palutena let out a chuckle.
''No, no,'' Richter hastily tried to retract what he believed had been seen as an insult, ''I meant that your parents also look young, they look like they're in their twenties or something. No, I think you look very pretty.'' He added that last part to make it up to Lucina somewhat.
''Flattery will get you nowhere, you know? I'm already taken.'' Lucina responded in a playful tone, pretending to be embarrassed, and Richter finally understood that she had been teasing him, so she decided to just answer him plainly, ''Well, it's a bit complicated: I actually come for a different future and I traveled back in time to save the world, and the lives of my parents, and I did so fighting by their sides.''
Richter could not tell if whether she was telling the truth or still having a laugh at his expense and this managed to clear the air for Luigi, Shulk, and Corrin who all resumed conversing like normal. Palutena, however, was not satisfied yet.
A few hours later Lucina decided to pay her lover a visit so she walked down to the fourth floor and knocked twice on the door all the way at the end of the hall. It was not long before Palutena opened up and the two stood there in an awkward silence.
''Hi,'' Lucina eventually spoke up, ''Can I come in?''
Palutena almost seemed a bit hesitant but it was not long before she said, ''of course, come on in.'' before turning around and leading Lucina into her apartment.
Lucina had been in the luxurious temple that Palutena's apartment appeared to be plenty of times already, so she instinctively made her way to the living room and sat down on one of the many luxurious sofas.
''Can I offer you something to drink?'' Palutena asked her and upon getting a simple nod of the head she disappeared into her own personal kitchen only to come out with a bottle of wine and two glasses a little later.
Palutena placed both glasses and proceeded to pour both of them, perhaps filled a bit more than Lucina would have liked, before seating herself on the sofa opposite of Lucina. ''So I guess we need to talk…'' Lucina started carefully.
''Hrmm,'' Palutena raised her eyebrows while taking a swig of wine, indicating that she wanted Lucina to start.
''I'm think…. No, what I mean to say is that I'm really sorry about not being able to tell them about us yet. But please… I'm trying.'' Lucina was clearly distressed, apologising and Palutena decided to comfort the younger girl by moving to her sofa so that she was now sitting besides Lucina.
Lucina wanted to cry but she could not, the years of hardship as an experienced warrior had taken that ability from her, so instead she merely looked down, gloomy, ''It's just that… back home, in Ylisse, there is no… there are no people like this, like us.''
Palutena finished taking another sip of her expensive wine before remarking: ''what? Gay?'' She always had a talent for putting it bluntly.
''… … yes,'' Lucina answered, she was still uncomfortable vocalizing it, ''It's just not something people are where I'm from. And I don't know… I don't want to disappoint them, you know?''
''Why? Are you embarrassed of me?''
''That's not what I mean,'' Lucina reacted almost annoyed at the idea that she would be, ''but we're both girls.''
Palutena was already halfway through her own glass of wine and saw that Lucina had not even touched hers yet, so Palutena moved Lucina's glass slightly closer in the hopes that she would notice while saying: ''Yes, we are both women, but it's not like this is some fluke or something. We've been together for over three years now and I think it's time for me to get acquainted with your parents.''
Lucina noticed Palutena's, not so subtle, reminder that she was provided a beverage and took a sip. She knew Palutena was right, they had been together ever since she confessed to fancying the goddess during the latter half of the previous tournament and they had even remained together during the period between Smash tournaments by frequently writing each other. Even though Lucina knew her lover was right it still did not feel like the right thing to her yet, ''I'm sorry but can we just keep on having what we have now? Do we really need to tell everybody else to be sure of what we feel?''
''I'm not asking you to tell everybody,'' Palutena was legitimately angry now, ''it's not like most people haven't noticed us anyhow. But I want you to just be open to your family about this, about us.''
''Why is this so important to you? Is this not good enough for you as is? Am I not good enough for you?!'' Lucina had shouted this last part and quickly felt embarrassed afterwards, so she put down her drink, ''I'm sorry…''
The apology also calmed Palutena down, who finished her glass before resuming in a very calm manner, ''I love what we have right now, I love you. But I think we should be moving forward with this, not standing still. Plus, I think your parents are lovely people, I'm sure they would be very supportive of you, of us.'' Palutena poured herself another glass of wine, ''they're your parents and family will always be there for you. As a bit of a mother figure myself I can say that if Pit ever shared something like this with me I would be behind him completely, he sure was there for me when I told him about us.''
Lucina's mouth fell open in shock but Palutena didn't notice until Lucina interrupted her, ''You told him?! You told Pit about us?!'' she was shouting again and clearly very upset.
Palutena had completely forgotten that she never told Lucina about telling Pit so she reprehended herself for having such a stupid slip of the tongue, but she remained calm nonetheless. ''Well, he was getting suspicious of the two of us and he promised to not tell anyone so I didn't think it was such a big deal.''
Lucina actually stood up in anger, ''You had no right!'' she exclaimed, ''You know exactly that I don't want people to know!''
Palutena's composure slowly started to falter, ''come on, it's not like our friends don't know either, so what is the big deal if Pit knows as well? He hasn't told anyone.''
Lucina knew Palutena was right, although they had never announced it it was quite obvious that Shulk, Luigi, and Corrin all knew what the two ladies were up to whenever they were left alone. ''That's not the point!'' She shouted however, ''I can't believe you would go around my back on this!''
Palutena also stood up at this point, ''I'm done lying about who I really am, and I'm not going to do so towards my servants! And if you're so embarrassed about us being together then maybe we shouldn't be!''
Suddenly both ladies were completely quiet; Palutena's words hung in the air, pressing down like a 10 ton weight. Both of them just stood there for, what felt like, an eternity when Lucina said: ''Alright,'' before turning around and moving towards the door.
''Luce, wait!'' Palutena, deeply regretting what she had said, tried to stop her girlfriend from leaving but Lucina just brushed her off, ''No, it's okay,'' Lucina said, ''We both have a lot to think about and I think I want to be alone right now.''
Without saying goodbye Lucina left Palutena's apartment. When she entered the hallway she crossed eyes with Little Mac, who was about to enter his own room. Normally Lucina would have been worried about what he would think seeing her come out of Palutena's apartment at this hour, but right now Lucina could not care less. So, without saying a word, she made her way to the staircase, and her own floor.
Lucina would not see Palutena at all the next day, something that became all the more obvious when she joined her friends for dinner. Together with Luigi, Shulk, Corrin, and Richter, she waited for the goddess before getting dinner but after 30 minutes it was all too apparent that she was not coming.
''So…'' Corrin broke the ice, ''I take it things didn't go all too well last night…?''
''What are you talking about?'' Lucina asked, keeping up appearances.
''Come on, we all know you two are an item,'' Corrin cut right through the bullshit, ''and from the way you introduced her to your parents last night and the fact that she's not here right now I'm guessing you two had a pretty bad fight.''
In truth: Richter hadn't been aware that Lucina and Palutena were dating as he had just arrived but he was respectful enough not to mention this and just keep quiet.
''Look,'' Corrin continued, ''it really isn't any of my business but an actual goddess fell for you,'' she made sure to emphasise the word 'Goddess', ''And you are about to let that go to waste because you're afraid of coming out. I have had to make some impossible decisions in my life myself, but this one seems pretty darn easy to me.'' Corrin looked towards their other friends for confirmation.
''She's right, you know?'' Shulk added, ''we create our own future, and it's up to you, and only you, to make sure that it's a good one. So go out there and do the right thing.'' Luigi and Richter just sat there, nodding in agreement.
''Thanks, you guys.'' Lucina said, truly moved by the words of encouragement from her friends.
''Also,'' Corrin added, ''I really like hanging out at her place and I won't forgive you if you're going to cost me that.''
That same evening, Lucina found herself back in front of Palutena's door. Twice she knocked once more. And once more did it not take Palutena long to open the door. ''Lucina,'' she exclaimed softly upon seeing her guest.
''Before you say anything,'' Lucina interrupted, ''I think you were wrong in telling Pit about us,'' at this moment Palutena started crossing her arms, not getting the apology she expected but Lucina continued, ''But it shouldn't have mattered. I love you and it shouldn't matter who knows it.''
''What are you saying?'' Palutena asked.
''I'm saying that I don't want to hide anymore, I have been fighting all my life to protect the people I love and I was so busy protecting our way of living that I became scared of introducing change to it. But I see now, that a world wherein I can't love you openly wouldn't be worth protecting. So that must mean I should be able to in this world.''
Palutena was completely taken aback by what she heard, so much so that she completely forgot that both of them were still standing in the hallway to her apartment. ''So, have you told them?''
''I've invited them over for dinner tomorrow at my place, I'm telling them then.'' Lucina explained, ''and to be honest,'' she added, ''I was kind of hoping that you would be so sweet as to help me with the cooking.''
Palutena loved cooking and she was completely aware that Lucina was trying to use this to get to her, but she also could not deny that is was working. ''Of course, I would love to,'' She exclaimed as she put her hands together, ''Oh but what to make the in-laws?'' Completely entranced by the idea of cooking for both Robin and Chrom, Palutena absent mindedly wandered back inside looking for a recipe. Lucina decided to follow her and closed the door behind her as she entered.
Lucina was amazed by how easily the whole fight had seemed to be forgotten by her girlfriend but in all honesty she would not have it any other way, Lucina smiled as she set to help Palutena.
About an hour later Palutena had finally settled on a dish that she had found by scrolling past various dishes on a strange golden device as Lucina sat behind her, looking over her shoulder at what Palutena was doing. As Palutena was listing all the ingredients they would be need to prepare her vegetable surprise Lucina's left hand starting gliding, not so subtly, towards Palutena's left breast. As Lucina started massaging the globe Palutena, without looking up from her device, said: ''I'm noticing.''
Lucina was not about to apologise, ''Look,'' she said, ''When I woke up this morning I thought that I might never get to feel them ever again, so now I'm just reveling in the fact that I can still enjoy them.''
''Well, at least do it right then,'' Palutena remarked and she put her hands behind her neck to unclasp her necklace. After Palutena had carefully placed the enormous piece of jewelry on a nearby table she pulled down the top part of her dress, exposing both of her breasts to the air.
Lucina, happy as a schoolgirl just invited to prom, went to work groping both breasts. Palutena was quite well endowed and Lucina loved the feeling of the soft flesh between her fingers, she would massage them for a little while, making sure to avoid the small nipples, before she started to draw circles around the peaks using her index fingers. Palutena, meanwhile, tried not to look up from the recipe she was still pretending to be reading as she was slowly getting more and more aroused. When Lucina noticed that drawing circles around the nipples had made them nice and firm she decided to pinch both of them at the same time, eliciting a moan from the green haired goddess.
Palutena decided that she had had enough of the teasing, so she carefully put the device away before turning around to face her lover.
''What?'' Lucina asked with a cocky smirk.
Without saying anything Palutena started kissing the younger warrior, when Lucina started kissing her back Palutena also grabbed Lucina's hands in her own and guided them back towards her breasts. As their tongues battled and Lucina's hands continued their work on Palutena's chest both girls let out a series of soft moans into each others mouth. Eventually the girls had to break off the kiss to get some air and Palutena used this opportunity to start tugging at Lucina's tunic. Lucina, getting what Palutena was trying to do, swiftly removed her own tunic, boots, undershirt, and leggings, leaving her in nothing but her underwear.
Immediately after Lucina had removed the articles Palutena resumed their passionate kiss, but while she was assaulting the princess' mouth she was also using her hands to expertly undo the clip of Lucina's bra. Lucina felt her bra getting more loose so she decided to just do away with the thing. Palutena looked at her lover for a moment: Lucina was flat-chested and had a very strong built, much unlike the goddess herself, aside from a few small scars along her lower body her skin was still very smooth and it was clear that Lucina took pride in her being a woman, as well as a warrior.
''You might start to drool if you keep staring, you know?'' Lucina remarked with a hint of awkwardness.
''Huh?'' Palutena replied, trying to act as innocent as she could; unfortunately Palutena was a pretty awful actress, but Lucina did not let that ruin the mood.
Suddenly Palutena shot towards Lucina's left nipple, enveloping it in her mouth and sucking hard on it. Surprised by the sudden amount of pressure on her sensitive peak Lucina inhaled sharply, only to enjoy the feeling when she started relaxing a moment later.
As Palutena shifted her attention towards the ignored other peak she also used her hands to run across Lucina's well-toned lower torso. As Lucina placed her own hands on the back of the goddess' head to encourage her, Palutena's hands inspected every millimetre of Lucina's pecks until finally arriving at her panties. Lucina gasped when she felt Palutena's long fingers run across the outside of her panties, applying a bit of pressure on the lower lips that had moistened the fabric somewhat.
Lucina put both her hands on the sides of Palutena's head to direct it upward, ''I want to do it, like that…'' she said in a whisper when they were on eye level with each other.
Palutena, knowing exactly what she meant, simply stood up from the couch and took Lucina by the hand to direct her to the bedroom.
Palutena's bed was truly enormous, easily suitable for more than 10 people to sleep in, and once the girls reached it they both stripped down until they were completely nude. Without taking the time to admire each others beauty the lovers intertwined again, hands roaming bodies as their tongues coiled around each other, their eyes closed to focus more on the feel of the touch.
Eventually Palutena pushed her girlfriend down onto the bed. Lucina crawled up, backwards, until she was about in the middle of the large piece of furniture. Palutena soon followed but when she was about to reach the young warrior she turned around so that her feet would reach Lucina first, she crawled up a bit more until she faced Lucina's most private treasure. Lucina was clean shaven, she had done so in preparation for this moment even if the original intention was only to apologise. Lucina, meanwhile, was presented Palutena's nether region, including the small tuft of green hair that adorned it. With her lover's knees next to her head, Lucina did not wait for Palutena to make the first move as she started kissing the inside of the thighs presented to her, slowly moving upward with her mouth as she switched between the two legs. Until, eventually, reaching that sweet core that had been the only thing on her mind for a fair while now. Without hesitation Lucina ran her tongue across the clitoris hidden between those lips.
The green-haired goddess yelped when she felt the warm and wet tongue of her partner glide across her own bundle of nerves. To repay the favor she decided to reach around her own head with her left arm and use her long, slender fingers to run across Lucina's weak point before slowly inserted one of them into her folds. The earlier teasing had aroused Lucina very much, and this was evident to Palutena as her finger was coated in the thick liquid that came from her partner. Palutena would wiggle her finger around a bit after every time she thrust it in, pump then wiggle, pump then wiggle; and when she heard the stifled moans of encouragement coming from Lucina below her, she decided to also have a taste of the warrior's treasure in much the same way Lucina had been pleasuring her.
As Lucina felt that godly tongue run laps across her clitoris while that long, slender finger was working her entrance it became all the harder for her to focus on the pleasing she was doing herself. Lucina wrapped her arms around Palutena's legs above her and stopped her own licking for a moment to really revel in the experience. ''Hmmm… Oh yes, that's nice,'' she moaned and this prompted Palutena to keep at it. Lucina also returned to working her lover as she tightened the grip she had on her legs. Whenever they had sex Lucina would always be amazed by how wet the goddess could get, and today was no exception. Because of their positions some of Palutena's wetness would sometimes drip down on Lucina's face but she did not mind one bit. Happily she lapped up all the juices that were between those pink folds and she would clean up her own face with just as much pleasure.
Eventually Palutena shifted her hips a bit to indicate that she wanted to get up as her back had started to hurt a bit because of the position. Lucina let go of her legs and stopped her ministrations as her partner got off of her. Lucina sat up just as Palutena did and they both leaned in to taste themselves on each others lips. Palutena eventually broke the kiss, ''All that licking has gotten me thirsty,'' she said, ''Do you want anything?''
Lucina declined the offer and saw her lover walk off towards the bathroom to get herself some water. Meanwhile, the blue haired princess put one hand on her right breast and the other between her legs as she fingered herself, waiting for Palutena's return.
Lucina closed her eyes as she rubbed her clitoris with her index and middle finger, squeezing her breast she thought of how innocent she had been before Palutena showed her true love. Although it had been over three years ago she still remembered how her first partner-induced orgasm felt, how Palutena had managed to show her wonders she had never even been able to dream of. As Lucina continued her own rubbing, letting a soft moan out every now-and-again, she realised she was slowly becoming less wet as time continued. But this realisation was cut short by a sultry ''ooooh, couldn't you wait for me?'' coming from the doorway. Lucina opened her eyes to find Palutena standing there, looking at her as she took one last sip from her glass before putting it aside and making her way over to her blue-haired partner. As soon as Palutena had her knees on the bed Lucina grabbed her by the shoulders and flipped them over, so that she was now on top with the goddess below her.
Before Palutena could respond Lucina went in for a passionate kiss, and it was not long before their tongues intertwined like only the tongues of lovers can. As they continued making out Lucina would press their bodies together, so that her own small breasts were rubbing up on the larger ones of her partner. Every once in a while their hardened nipple would brush up against each other as the younger girl grinded their pelvises on one another (this, of course, did little to stimulate either woman but it was a primal instinct nonetheless).
Eventually Lucina moved off of the green-haired beauty, broke the kiss and, with one last peck on the lips, moved her head towards the bosom of her desire, kneading the left breast in her hand Lucina twirled her tongue around the right nipple, eliciting soft grunts from up above. Encouraged by the vocal affirmation Lucina started sucking on the nipple in question as she felt two soft hands run through her own hair, gripping her head tightly so that she would not be able to let up. The hand she had used for massaging that deliciously large orb of softness now traveled further downward until, once again, arriving at those wet folds. Using her right elbow to support herself Lucina put her right arm under the goddess to hold her tightly as she plunged two fingers into her lover.
Lucina knew Palutena liked it rough so she went at it with speed and precision, she pumped her ring- and middle finger in and out of her partner, amazed by how wet Palutena still was. It was not long before she would keep her fingers inside as far as she could to wiggle them around to truly feel the insides of the goddess, while Lucina did this she also used the thumb on that same hand to rub the clitoris. This required an extraordinary amount of dexterity on Lucina's part but she knew Palutena loved it so it was all worth it.
In response Palutena lifted Lucina's head up from her tit and brought it back up to eye-level, she looked deep into her lover's eyes and whispered: ''I love you.'' Before smashing their lips together once more in passion. Lucina, moved by these three beautiful words, held Palutena ever tighter in her arm as she continued her ministrations. Palutena had to break the kiss multiple times to allow herself to moan louder and louder until finally she said: ''I'm close, it's close, I'm cumming,''
Lucina put her head beside Palutena's and rubbed her clit harder than before until she could feel her lover tense up completely before going limp. With a satisfying ''aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah,'' Palutena felt that warm coil inside of her tightening up before finally releasing and Lucina pulled her fingers out.
Lucina fell down next to Palutena and the two stared lovingly into each others' eyes, Lucina brought her wet hand up to Palutena's face who gladly took the fingers that had given her so much pleasure into her mouth to clean them up, as had become a bit of a tradition between the two ladies.
''Look at what you make me do,'' Palutena exclaimed after she let Lucina pull her fingers back out of her mouth. The goddess then started running her own hands down to her partner's core but she was stopped by the young warrior, ''that's okay,'' Lucina said, ''just let me, just let me stay for a while.''
Palutena knew exactly what Lucina needed so she opened both her arms for the younger girl to curl up in a little ball next to her and swiftly fall asleep.
I hope this moment can last forever.
