Undoing of the Bard

"Rainstorm." Eda called them in her melodious voice as she walked through the door, closing them behind her quickly.

Raine had been busy reading through Luz's notes in the living room. Since Belos's defeat there were lost of witches, demons as well as humans that hoped to learn glyph magic. Luz was excited to help others learn and Raine, wanting to bond with Eda's kids as well as be of assistance in any way possible and finding it hard to shake the work etiquette they developed when they became the Head of the Bard Coven, offered to help.

"Hm?" They glanced up, their eyes meeting Eda's. The Owl Lady had her hair tied up into a pony tail, just like she used to wear all the time when they were younger, "What can I do for you Eda?"

"Hooty and the kids are gone." Eda said with a smirk.

"Wh-What? Where did they go?! Are they in trouble?!" Raine jumped up, papers scattering across the floor. Sure they've been pretty busy lately but how in the world could they lose three kids and an owl demon.

Eda chuckled, "No, Raine I mean..." She walked toward them, her arms wrapping around their neck and lips grazing their ear as she leaned in close. "The kids are gone, we have the house to ourselves."

"Oh." It took the bard a few moments to register the full meaning of Eda's words. Heat flooded their face, spreading all the way to the tips of their ears, "Oh!"

Eda's lips form a teasing grin, "So? Want to have a little fun?"

"Uh..." Raine gulped, their body freezing in place.

A look of concern flashes across Eda's face, her lips now in a worried frown. "Raine? Are you ok? We-we don't have to if you don't..."

"No! I mean yes! I do want!" Raine mentally curses their inability to properly function around Eda. They were usually smoother than this, at least with her. Their hand scratched the back of their neck, struggling to find the proper words. They were a Bard for Titan's sake! So why were no clever words coming to mind?

Eda is patient, hands smoothing over their shoulders in encouragement and support.

After what felt like an eternity Raine finally sighs, "I want to kiss you. I want to hold you. I want..." They gulped again, this time making proper eye contact with their girlfriend, "I want to make love to you."

She wasn't sure why but Eda's heart gave a flutter upon hearing Raine's words and could feel herself blushing. No, she knew why. Raine said they wanted to make love to her. Not a meaningless quick fuck or just wanting to satisfy a need. They loved her. And she loved them. So she let them explain further.

"I just... well it's been a while. For us I mean. We haven't see each other in years and... well when we did there just wasn't time and then..." Raine looked down, they didn't like talking about their memories being messed with, they hated that they forgot Eda, forgot the rebellion, the BATTs, all of it. Even after figuring it out and stopping the effects of Terra's tea, they still couldn't shake the guilt.

Eda knew Raine's troubles well. She's woken up lots of times, Raine's half of the nest empty, only to find them curled up on the couch, woken up by bad memories that they weren't even sure were real.

"Hey, I trust you. You know that right?" Eda cupped their cheek, making them look up at her, her expression full of love for them.

"I know, I'm happy for that. And I trust you. I just think I need a little more time before I can trust myself to touch you like that." Raine hoped that they were getting their point across. They didn't want Eda to think that they don't want her, but they were still having an internal war with themselves.

"Ok." Eda says calmly, a warm smile on her face. "There's no rush. We'll get more opportunities. It's not like sex is a deal breaker. You take as long as you need."

Raine smiled back at her before pulling her into an affectionate kiss. "Thank you. Would um... would you like to cuddle?" They offered, with a tiny shrug.

"You don't even have to ask me that Rainestorm." Raine lifted Eda's hands to their lips and pressed kisses over her knuckles, enjoying the blush that spread across Eda's face, not subsiding even as they lead her to the couch and pulled her close.

Over the next few weeks Raine grew more and more comfortable with intimacy. It turned out that both they and Eda still behaved like hormonal teens at times. Stealing glances at each other, whispering innuendos in passing, seeing who could make the other blush more, sneaking around for a quick make out session. It was actually kind of refreshing. Raine knew that the memories of those times were real, they could embrace them and hold them close, cherish them. Just like they cherished Eda.

Eda didn't rush them. She was happy to take whatever they were willing to give. And she would give them what they were willing to take. Raine never pushed either, they always wanted to check in with Eda, to make sure that she too was ok. Their consideration melted Eda's heart.

So Eda wanted to do something for them. The two were in the middle of a heated make out when Eda's hands dropped to their pants, unbuckling their belt, hand sneaking into their underwear to wrap around their length. Raine tensed at the contact an Eda withdrew immediately. They apologized to her even when they had absolutely nothing to be sorry for. They had been ok with naked cuddles so Eda thought they might enjoy this also.

It wasn't a big deal. There were other ways to make Raine feel good that didn't involve removing their clothes. She knew they were ok with that at least, judging by the amount of times they had to change their underwear after things would get heated over the past few weeks. They were only slightly embarrassed by it, but Eda loved knowing she made them feel good.

Raine watched her as they leaned against the kitchen island, they looked deep in thought but would shy away and blush as soon as Eda met their gaze.

"Ok Rainestorm, lets hear it, what do you want?" Eda put away the dishes she washed after Raine made breakfast for them.

Today was another morning that they had all to themselves. Luz, King and Hunter were on the Knee with the Blight siblings and Hooty was visiting Lilith for a few hours.

"I have no idea what you're talking about." Their answer was slightly higher pitched than their usual tone, like they've been caught stealing something. Although knowing Eda she would find that a turn on more than something to reprimand Raine for.

"Come on, what is it? Oh! Is it something dirty?" Raine let out a little surprise yelp, "It is!" Eda chuckled.

Raine hid their face in their hands and let out an exasperated groan, "Please don't make fun of me. It's nothing. It's really dumb."

"Raine, nothing you want is dumb." Raine felt Eda's hands on theirs, slowly coxing them from hiding their face, "You know you can tell me. I promise I won't laugh." Eda pulled their hands close and kissed the back of them.

"I..." Raine pressed their lips together. They shut their eyes tight for a moment, "I'd like you to... get on your knees in front of me." Raine felt like their heart was gonna beat out of their chest, their face an ears were burning from embarrassment. Eda tried not to laugh, she really did, but she couldn't, "Eda! You promised you wouldn't laugh at me!" They tried to pull their hands back but Eda held them firmly.

"I'm sorry. I wasn't expecting that. Oh wow. You went from don't touch me to suck me and it just... sorry." Eda struggled to stop her laughter as she kissed Raine's hands over and over, "But I got no problem with that. You're probably my favorite thing to taste... well besides Apple Blood."

"Gee thanks, I feel really special." Raine deadpanned and Eda chuckled. They stayed like that for a few moments. Raine broke the silence first, "I'm sorry if this was out of the blue. You don't have to, there's no pressure."

"Oh there's a lot of pressure all right." Eda cast a teasing glance at Raine's croch, "In fact I'd say that you've been under pressure for weeks now." Eda let go of their hands, closing the distance between them, her lips latching onto the spot under Raine's ear, making them whimper and squirm between her and the counter. "I'm more than happy to help you release some." Eda's words sent tingles down Raine's spine.

Eda trails her lips across Raine's neck, slowly running her hands over their chest and downward as she sinks to her knees.

"Wait, hold on, I forgot something!" Eda quickly gets up and runs out the kitchen and up the stairs. A minute later she's back with her hair tied into a pony tail. Raine bites their lower lip, their eyes almost completely glazed as they watch Eda get on her knees again. "Excited already huh?" Eda glances up at them then back at the tent in their pants.

"Can you blame me? You look fucking hot." Raine's voice is a bit more scratchy than usual, their desire evident in more ways than one.

"Mmm, I love it when you curse." Eda's lips made contact with the bulge, Raine gasping at the action. "And I love knowing you get so turned on because of me." She kisses them again and again, each kiss lingering a little longer.

"How could I not be?" Raine closed their eyes and let themself enjoy the pressure of Eda's lips on their cock, her hands on their hips and the sounds Eda made whenever she kissed them. What they didn't expect was the sound of a zipper. Their eyes shot open, "Fucking Titan..." They were looking down at Eda, who was pulling the zipper down with her teeth, her smoldering eyes looking back them.

"Forgot I liked to do that huh?" Next was their belt unbuckled, Eda's hands slowly pulling their pants down, lips back on their bulge. Raine took a deep breath, they could feel her a lot better with one less layer of clothing, "Just wait until I get these off you. I'll make you remember all the things I can do. And a few new tricks." Raine gasped as they felt Eda's tongue dart out, playfully licking over the head.

"Hold on. Just... I..." It took all of Raine strength to push Eda's head away. The wild witch made a noise of protest but didn't push against them as Raine took deep breaths to steady themselves enough to speak, "I want to keep them on."

Eda's eyebrows shot up, "Oh! I see. I mean, I really looked forward to tasting you again. But I can wait!"

"Really?" Raine's heart skipped a beat, how the hell did they manage to get someone like Eda to fall in love with them, "Thank you."

"Of course, anything for you." Eda leaned back toward them and kissed their cock, "You just lean back and let me take care of you. I'll make you feel so fucking good Rainestorm."

Raine nodded, their hands gripping the counter behind them. They closed their eyes again and let the sensation of Eda's lips overtake their senses. They hummed in content at the pressure of Eda's tongue on the underside of their cock.

They weren't with many people after Eda so they didn't have many people to compare but they knew without a doubt that no one brings them more pleasure than their she does.

Over the last few weeks they held back so many times. They wanted to feel her again, taste her again, feel her wet and fluttering around their cock, hear her moans, hear her scream their name in heights of pleasure.

"Thinking about something good?" Eda husked, "I can feel you twitching." Eda's hand cupped the underside of their cock, mouth sucking on the head briefly. Obviously it wasn't anywhere near the same as if they weren't wearing anything at all, but just the thought of it, the feeling of Eda's mouth on them, her voice, her hands... everything, everything about Eda excited them and set them on fire from the inside.

"Just you. Always you." Raine's hands let go of the counter, tangling and smoothing over Eda's hair, "I love you." Raine gasped as Eda gave pressed a particularly hard kiss over them. "Eda I'm..." Their whole body shook, trying and failing to stand still.

"I know baby, I know. Go ahead. You know I love seeing you come." Eda's hands ghosted over their hips, encouraging them.

"I..." Raine moaned and grunted, their hands tightening briefly into Eda's hair, pulling her closer as they released into their shorts. "Fuck, I'm sorry."

Eda would have laughed if she wasn't busy leaving soothing kisses over the wet spot in Raine's underwear.

"Nothing be sorry for. That was so fucking hot." Raine gulped as Eda kissed the kissed the spot just above the waistband.

"Eda... don't get me going again." Even with their feeble protest they couldn't stop their hands from pushing Eda closer.

"Already? Are we suddenly back to being horny teens?" Eda laughed as she pressed more kisses on the same spot.

"No, but you sure are making me feel like one." Raine couldn't help but laugh back.

"Yeah? So you're saying my mouth is magic?" The wind witch winked and playfully stuck her tongue out.

Raine grinned, "Might as well be." They leaned back with a smile on their face, taking a deep breath before speaking again, "This was wonderful. Thank you Eda."

"Anything for you Raine." Eda pulled Raine's pants back up and they buckled and zipped them back up before tucking their shirt back in. Once again the picture of a perfect bard.

"Do you... want me to return the favor?" Eda chuckled as she watched Raine blush again.

"Nah, the kids will be back soon anyway. This was about you. I wanted to make you feel good. You can return the favor whenever you feel comfortable." Eda pressed her lips to Raine's cheek and watched as they melted into it, a blissful smile on their face.

"Titan, how are you even real?" Raine's hands locked around Eda's hips and pulled her into a deep, loving kiss.

Eda could have spent the whole morning kissing Raine. And she would have, if there wasn't for one little problem.

"Edalyn, I apologize for visiting unannounced but I... Gah!" The two lovers pulled away and looked toward the door, Eda's lipstick smudged over both their mouths, "Must you do... that in the kitchen of all places?!" Lilith was bright red, with both embarrassment and fury as she shielded her eyes with her hands.

Eda shrugged, unbothered, "Eh, just count yourself lucky you didn't barge in a few minutes ago."

"Eda!" Raine shouted, once again back to their embarrassed self, "There's no need to scandalize your sister."

"Scandalize her? She's already scandalized enough from when we were younger remember? Like that time she walked in and you were still the middle of..."

"Enough! Titan enough!" Lilith clamped her hands over her ears, "Have you no shame Edalyn?"

"Of course I do. But teasing is more fun." Eda stuck her tongue out before exiting the kitchen.

Now that the two witches were alone it was up to Raine to smooth things out. They rubbed the back of their neck, unable to make eye contact with their long time friend, "Sorry about that. We didn't think anyone would come in just yet. But I'm glad it was you and not one of the kids. Or Hooty."

"Well maybe this will teach you to keep your activities behind bedroom doors. Locked bedroom doors." Lilith shuddered.

"Sorry." Raine apologized.

Lilith shook her head and smiled at them, "I... I am glad that the two of you are making it work. I think you're a good influence on my sister. She was always so happy with you. You made her happy, make her happy."

"She makes me happy too. And I hope I can make happy for a very long time."

"You better Whispers." An icy chill went down Raine's spine at the sudden drop of tone in Lilith's voice.

"I will. I promise." They straightened up, eyes and voice suddenly determined and focused.

After a few seconds a smile made its way back to Lilith's face, "I'll hold you to that. And tell her she needs to make you happy too."

"Oh she does." Raine couldn't help the blissed out smile spreading on their face.

"Ew. I don't even want to know. There are things about my sister that I never, ever, wish to know, thank you very much." Raine opened their mouth to apologize again when Eda peaked back into the kitchen.

"Raine, I'm taking a shower." She almost sang the words before she disappeared again. Raine blinked a few times, processing what they just heard. Lilith for her part, looked scandalized. Again.

"And that is my queue to leave." She was out the door before Raine could stop her. They sighed but were sprinting up the stairs in a matter of seconds, using their bard magic to lock the door behind them, just to be sure.
