Chapter 40: Earned Life (Part 6)

"Wait, so that's why you never learned to swim?"

Manaka favored Nanashi with a petulant glare while pouting lips blew several bubbles of agitation in a steady stream, half of the girl's face hidden beneath the gentle waves.

"It was a bit of a scary time for sister, Nanashi. She had never really experienced danger or hardship and encountering it for the first time was understandably frightening."

Yanking her mouth free Manaka protested, "It was not that bad! I was perfectly fine!"

Abigail giggled from where she floated on her back next to them, teasingly remarking, "Almost drowning in a water park, Manaka? I never knew you were so talented~!"

"C-cease your jokes, it was no laughing matter!"

"Hmm? But I thought you just said it wasn't that bad and you were perfectly fine?"

Manaka looked ready to freeze the other girl solid so frigid was her glare...a glare somewhat undercut by the fact that she was still tightly holding onto Nanashi's arms from where he slowly dragged her through the water, working on her form as Tiamat repeated the action with Ayaka.

"Never would have figured that was the reason, though. Did you seriously levitate half the park before Haruki was able to contain the fallout of the little panic attack?"

The magus growled at the homunculus as he chuckled in response, her irritation far too cute for her own good. Evidently, when she was much younger, Haruki had taken her and Ayaka to a water park for a bit of fun except the doll-like lady had gotten her floaty overturned by another park goer, flipping her upside down and unable to right herself.

Cue a massive panic attack and the magus lifting herself and a great deal of other tonnage into the air with an instinctive desire to allow herself to breathe freely. Haruki had no doubt been busy cleaning up that mess for days.

"It also goes a long way towards explaining why Manaka and her sister didn't know how to swim. The last time they tried bad stuff happened. Well, bad stuff at least from their point of view."

"Well as enlightening as this whole story has been does anyone else feel like going to get some food? We didn't eat when we first arrived after all."

While he himself wasn't all that hungry - his new body seemed hyper efficient when it came to nutrition - the rest of his companions weren't so lucky, both Ayaka and Manaka no doubt ready for a meal after all of the day's activities.

"Yes, that does seem like a rather splendid idea. And I, erm...feel more comfortable in the water now."

Light blue eyes averted themselves in embarrassment, flawless lips lowering themselves beneath the waves once more as Nanashi decided to let his partner off the hook, grinning before gently letting go of her hands as the magus properly floated as if she'd been doing it her whole life.

"My pleasure, Manaka. So what does everyone feel like having? I mean, considering how nice this place is it probably has all sorts of crazy things…"

"Nanashi? Are you about to retreat within your shell again?"

"Bite me."

Ayaka quickly intervened, diplomatically saying, "Why not tour the restaurants and see what is offered? I'm positive an establishment such as this has no shortage of attractions or varieties to pick from, as Nanashi said."

While Tiamat seemed reluctant to part with the waters she nonetheless followed after the rest of them as they made their way back to the resort, Abigail pulling Nanashi aside for a moment as they did so.

"Would you like to walk along the beach with me later this afternoon once we finish eating, Nanashi?"

"Sure, I don't mind. But don't you think that-"

A dainty finger placed itself over his lips, the blonde smirking as she all but sang, "Oh don't worry, I'll let Manaka and everyone else know that it will just be a little bit of private time between you and me~! We haven't really had a chance to talk since everything happened."

Acknowledging the point with a nod he replied, "True enough. Sure, I'd be happy to go with you."

Giggling with happiness Abigail skipped ahead to speak with the others, Nanashi briefly wondering if it was a good idea to be alone with the girl. She had been a little...aggressive since melding with the Outer God.

"Oh well, what's the worst that could happen?"

"Man, the weather sure gets nice in these parts…"

While somewhat underwhelming in structure the sentiment behind Nanashi's words was genuine, the homunculus smiling at the light breeze that caressed his skin as the sun began its final journey behind the horizon, glowing a fiery orange and vermillion as he strolled onto the soft and still warm sands, flexing his toes and marveling at the sensation of tiny granules shifting and flowing around his feet.

"I better not take this for granted. Ever."

He'd spent too long with nothing to his name and refused to assume that this newest prize would be around forever, squaring his shoulders and exposing his bare chest to every inch of soothing air that he could manage-

-and yelped as soft, feminine hands playfully traced themselves across his abdomen, Abigail teasingly whispering, "Were you waiting long, Nanashi~?"

Regaining control of his heartbeat and huffing out a breath the homunculus turned around, grumbling, "Barely a few minutes, I wouldn't-GEH?!"

Feeling as if the Yali had taken a giant step on his chest upon seeing Abigail Nanashi's throat went dry and tongue wooden, eyes wide and unblinking as the slim blonde giggled at his reaction.

"I take it you like what you see~?"

Taking a step back and lacing her arms behind her back the youth could only stare, mesmerized at the sight before him.

While he'd caught a glimpse of the swimsuit she now wore in the shop seeing it on the girl in person was...well it was different, to say the least.

A single, unbroken strap of thin orange fabric that looped over her shoulders, scarcely covered her budding chest and delved into the fragile valley between her legs before vanishing into the valley of her cute butt before enticingly cupping her thin back, all of it enhanced by her shining blonde hair loosely drifting about in the wind, freed from any kind of restraint but somehow not getting in her mouth, no doubt thanks to some kind of supernatural gift.

"Heh heh, stop staring so hard, Nanashi. Even I can get a little embarrassed, you know?"

Snapping himself out of his funk the homunculus belatedly realized he'd been caught in a loop for what felt like hours, Abigail blushing pink even as a proud and happy smile dotted her lips.

"Sorry, but you did this to me."

Another sultry giggle.

"That was the point. Now come on, let's go explore~!"

Before he could say or do otherwise the blonde had dragged him along the beachfront, spirits clearly high as the male belatedly realized something that made him highly uncomfortable.

Yet again, it was the numerous stares sent his way. But whereas before they had been of many different flavors and intensity now they were judging and suspicious, the few people out and about noticing Abigail's state of dress, his apparently older age - which was morbidly hilarious, considering how long the blonde had been alive - and the way she hung off of his arm, clearly relishing the attention and sensation.

"A-Abigail?"

"Hmm?"

"People are watching. Really not okay with that."

"Oh, we just need to show them how genuine and natural our love is, Nanashi~!"

"Wha-"

Her lips crashed into his as deceptively powerful limbs pulled his hands low, fingers instinctively cupping and squeezing her essentially bare ass as a pleased moan left the lithe girl, Nanashi inwardly freaking out as he heard disapproving muttering all around them, pleasure warring with panic.

"Oh god what the hell not good not good-"

Abigail pulled away with a pleased hum, staring up at him with a pink flush to her skin as the homunculus soundlessly worked his jaw, brain completely unresponsive as her bold approach - in the middle of a busy fairway, no less - left him dead to the world.

"Heh heh, did I break you, Nanashi~?"

"I…I…why where so many people can see?"

His words were more a squeak than they were any kind of coherent sentence structure, the blonde merrily giggling at his horrified response before teasing him with, "You're so silly, Nanashi…but I suppose I can be nice to you and keep you from having a heart attack."

Her third eye flared to life, an odd bit of rainbow incandescence covering the area as the small crowd that had been gazing at their display with so tiny amount of disgust and suspicion promptly turned and carried on with their lives as if nothing was amiss, the homunculus blandly stating, "Well that was…something. Why didn't you do that first?"

"Because I think you're cute when embarrassed, Nanashi."

All three eyes gazed at him with something he might label as saucy mischief.

"Besides, you haven't quite let go of my butt yet, you naughty boy~."

Jumping backwards as if burned - phantom feeling of warm and supple flesh flowing through his fingers not leaving anytime soon - the blonde openly laughed at his reaction, chirping, "If I didn't want you touching me like I'd tell you, Nanashi."

"I…yeah, okay, fine."

She skipped forward and took his arm in her own, happily trilling, "Come one, let's continue our walk~!"

"Yes, mistress…"

And as much as he may have complained the homunculus couldn't keep the small smile from gracing his lips, following in the blonde's wake before she promptly reached low, grabbing his hand and holding it tight.

A simple action that caused the strangest sense of fuzzy sensation to smother his wildly beating heart, the enhanced and mystical organ wildly leaping about like some kind of possessed monkey.

"I guess this is what happens when you take a boy starved for positive attention and drop him into a love triangle. Quadrangle? Like I know what it's called."

"I think I'm going to miss it when you finally become a little more brave and used to things, Nanashi."

"Pardon?"

Abigail rested her head against his arm, much of her teasing and playful demeanor set aside for the moment as she murmured, "Your innocence. Your shyness. How easy you are to tease…eventually you're going to stop being so easy to fluster."

"If you're asking me I think that's wonderful, all this wildly beating heart stuff is going to cause me trouble later in life."

The blonde giggled at his wry words before continuing a moment later with, "I don't doubt it. But for so long I never had a chance to experience or interact with things that weren't affected by my nature, to find the funny or goofy aspects of life. And you are very silly sometimes, Nanashi."

Grimacing at the memory of the less than flowery past the blonde had dealt with he just settled for holding her hand tighter, idly strolling across the beach and letting a not entirely uncomfortable silence build.

"So do you have any plans for the future, Abigail?"

An inquisitive tilt of her head that the male found unreasonably cute.

"I mean we have a pretty expansive future to look forwards to, provided the universe doesn't implode or something."

"Oh hell I hope I'm not jinxing anything."

She seemed to take that line of questioning rather well, cupping her chin and releasing a cute hum of contemplation.

"I think…maybe it would be nice to see the world. To travel a lot. Mostly with all of you but sometimes on my own. So much of my life was spent going different places but I was never able to appreciate them, never able to explore at my own pace."

A confident nod left the blonde, tone a happy chirp as she concluded, "Yes, I like that~! The world is pretty big and varied, not to mention there's the Reverse as well!"

Soft skin and silken hair nuzzled deep into his side, Abigail asking, "And what about you?"

"I have no damn idea. I'm just trying to figure out my brand of Magic and survive as Manaka's teaching assistant for the moment, I think I need to focus more on the moment than the future."

"That's no fair!"

Laughing at Abigail's pout of annoyance the girl suddenly came to an abrupt halt, dragging the homunculus with her as Nanashi's laughter quickly died, a wicked playfulness dancing in his companion's eyes.

All three of them.

"Are you trying to be a tease, Nanashi~?"

Sensing the imminent approach of danger the male tried to backtrack-

-and instead was treated to a bout of laughter from the girl as she dragged him into the surging waters, cool ocean water racing over their ankles as the setting sun cast Abigail into a mesmerizing light, Nanashi spellbound by the sight.

"Then you won't mind if I tease you back, will you?"

"...Wait, wha-holy shit!"

Finding his legs swept out from underneath him the homunculus wildly flailed, expecting to land with a loud smack on the wet sand-

Squelch!

-and instead found himself on a bed of warm, moist flesh that perfectly supported his form, a glance behind causing the youth to shiver as he realized Abigail's otherworldly appendages had manifested out of seeming nowhere, the memory of what the things had done to her still fresh in his brain and causing no shortage of disquiet.

"Aww, you don't need to worry, Nanashi! They're under my control now, you don't have to worry about any uncouth behavior~!"

Before he could reply to that mildly unhinged statement his arms and legs were yanked wide, tentacles binding him in place as the homunculus squeaked, "Abigail? Manaka is the one that likes to freak me out, I don't need you to do that as well."

"Oh I'm going to do something very different to you, Nanashi…"

The words were but a purr as the homunculus belatedly realized that the blonde's face was practically glowing with lustful intent, cute tongue licking her lips and slight chest heaving with anticipation, deceptively delicate hands ripping off his trunks with a sharp exertion as the male felt his eyes widen.

He didn't think it was possible for himself to get hard in such a terrifying scenario such as this.

"Uhh, Abigail? I know you sort of-guh?!"

His trembling words were abruptly cut as a midnight feeler comprised of what felt like hundreds of shivering nubs embraced his stiffening length, languidly twisting and squeezing his cock as Abigail cutely giggled in what he felt was a very inappropriate manner.

"Yes, Nanashi~?"

Trying to formulate a worthwhile response the male found himself unable to do so as Abigail straddled his body, smashing her lips into his as a dominating tongue pushed aside and overwhelmed his own, sweet moans and lustful groans echoing through Nanashi's throat as his brain began to fry.

"What the heck what the heck what the heck why are all the girls I like so damn freaky-"

The fragmented and speedy stream of thought ended as the tendrils assailing his loins abruptly vanished, coinciding with Abigail pulling back from the frantic liplock and lifting her lower half so that her silky smooth legs engulfed his twitching mast, engulfing the meat in feminine warmth as the sparse material of her swimsuit provided its own unique brand of stimulation, three eyes gazing into Nanashi's dazed pair as the blonde whispered, "Oh if only you knew just how good I'm going to make you feel, Nanashi."

"I…I got a pretty good idea, you don't need to-SHIT!"

A sudden buck of her hips provided all sorts of delicious friction to his dick, the dual sensation of warm flesh and smooth fabric causing his muscles to tense while Abigail darted her head forward like a bird, sucking and biting one of his nipples as the tendrils holding his body in place held firm, the male feeling a completely foreign sense of elation as all he could do was ride out the cresting waves of pleasure, helpless to dilute or muddy them through physical movement.

"Mmm…are you feeling good, Nanashi? Are you about to cum? You are, aren't you~?"

"D-definitely…a freakin' demon god…"

Speaking was becoming unreasonably hard - bad choice of words - and the final straw was Abigail squeezing her cute thighs together with delicious force, sensuously waving her trim waist around like a dancer as his cock all but exploded with euphoria, sweet moans and pants escaping her lips as thick cream splashed across her pert butt and lithe back.

"Holy…holy fuck."

"Oh, is that what you want next, Nanashi? Boys will be boys, I suppose~!"

"No wait, that's not what I-"

Protests were all but pointless as the seemingly insane girl slowly and sensually peeled off her already skimpy swimsuit, the orange fabric enticingly and erotically revealing a lithe and perky form clearly ready and raring to go as Nanashi had to dry swallow, member still standing at stiff attention as Abigail sashayed her perky butt backwards until the slightly valley between them was embracing his madly twitching cock.

"Mmm, you're so big, Nanashi…very different from how your previous body used to be, heh heh~!"

The salacious words had the youth on the verge of mental breakdown, inwardly wailing - and admittedly doing a slight bit of rejoicing - at the fact that his romantic partners were all a bunch of extreme weirdos. And seriously, why did he bother with Merlin's lessons on size control if everyone wanted him flying at full mast?

"Hmm, I don't know if this will fit inside of me. Only one way to find out~!"

Coherent thought abruptly became impossible, only the crushing and overwhelmingly wonderful heat and pressure that engulfed his cock as a strained hiss left his clenched teeth, neck muscles straining as everything else was helpless to work out the sensation through movement.

"Ooooh…that's so good…"

Blinking away the stars flitting across his vision the homunculus was treated to the sight of Abigail with a dreamy expression on her face, his meat spearing deep into her dripping and stretched folds as his outline was clear to see, straining the blonde's insides as a cute and tight pussy swallowed him whole.

"I accuse them of being freaky, but I'm going to start getting just as fucked up if this ends up being my new norm."

"I wonder what will happen to you if I start moving, hmm~?"

Acting as if she wasn't in the slightest bit of discomfort Abigail slowly and gradually lifted herself off his member, Nanashi groaning as every crevice and ribbed bit of velvety flesh pulled at his own-

-and let loose a noise like a wounded dog as the blonde all but slammed herself back down, the friction and pleasure almost painful in its intensity.

"Oh yes, does this make you feel good, Nanashi~? I bet it does, doesn't it~?"

The homunculus found his view dominated by the sight of his three-eyed girlfriend, rapturously staring down at him as her skinny waist bounced and impacted against his groin with erotic, wet slapping noises.

"Look at you, so entranced and helpless because of my body…so easy to make cum~!"

The bouncing halted, instead replaced by a sharp twist a dancer would have been proud of as Nanashi gasped, cock pulsating and tensing as his seed shot into Abigail's waiting cunt, the girl sighing blissfully as she purred, "Your seed is inside of me, Nanashi. Are you trying to knock me up, have a cute little baby for us to raise~? Or do you just want to fuck me while I'm pregnant~?"

Already gone to high heaven Nanashi could only brokenly think, "Oh my god. Somehow she's even crazier than Manaka. Why in all the god's names did I think a chick with an eldritch god living as her mental roomate for countless years would be normal? And why is it SO fucking hot?"

"But I can't let you have all the fun, Nanashi…"

Inky portals appeared around them, twisting and writhing tentacles gently caressing and embracing Abigail's body as she hypnotically licked her lips.

"Why don't I show you a whole new universe of pleasure~?"

"I need an adult."
