A/N: Reno's quite a lovely character, her outfit is dreadfully complex... though at least not as bad as some others.

Jokes aside, do enjoy~


Your Hero

Being assigned to a new base was always an uncertain ordeal.

There was a whole list of things to worry about. Making sure your stuff got there on time so you had a uniform for the next day, getting situated and learning the layout of the base, running through operational history and fleet status – and of course, hoping to be welcomed by the Ship-Girls based there.

That last one was arguably the biggest worry for any commander; the last thing one wanted was to turn up and be viewed with disdain. Thankfully Ship-Girls on the whole were quite welcoming, and those that weren't usually didn't bother greeting any new commander in the first place. The thought though didn't fully quell one particular commander's worries, the car he resided in slowing down to the hiss of tire-on-asphalt before rolling to a stop, allowing him to pop the door open and step out.

''Hah...''

The Commander inhaled a slow, fortifying breath, his gaze running over the base in front of him. Contrary to many of his peers he was on the younger side, just out of his teens, but it spoke to his prodigious skill that he was given the mantle of commander in the first place. That didn't stop some of his past subordinates though viewing him as lesser than his older peers – rarely in a negative light, but rather more like a little brother, rather than a superior.

'Hopefully it'll be different this time...' The Commander privately hoped.

Movement ahead of him made him glance up, spotting a group of Ship-Girls coming over to greet him. Not many, about seven or eight and all of them bearing cheerful, welcoming expressions, easing his concerns somewhat and giving him the confidence to approach – meeting them halfway.

''Hello. I'll be your new Commander from today on.'' He introduced himself when he was close, smiling at them. ''I'll be in your care.''

A slew of greetings came in turn – from Hanazuki's warm greeting to Newcastle's polite introduction as chief maid present, all the way down to Mutsuki who started asking him about his favourite kind of candy; asking with a level of seriousness as if she was asking his affiliation. He responded truthfully, answering any other questions the girls had... but his attention laid most on one girl who stood near the back, smiling patiently as she let her peers chat with him first.

Reno. He'd read about her beforehand, as he had done for all the other Ship-Girls based here, but her profile picture didn't do her justice. Smooth silver hair that curled at the ends, a round face with attractive violet eyes, she was a beautiful woman – not even counting her filled-out figure. And though the other girls happily chatting with him were pretty as well, there was just something about Reno that caught his attention and held it.

All the more when Reno finally approached him and spoke. ''Welcome to our base, Commander. Would you like be to escorted you to your room?''

''Ah... yeah, that'd be a big help.'' He answered, some heat coming to his cheeks.

If Reno noticed she didn't comment on it, merely giggling and beckoning for him to follow. ''Alright, right this way then~! Your hero Reno will guide you to safety~! Hehe~''

''Hero?'' The Commander curiously inquired, waving goodbye to the other girls as they dispersed.

''Mm! I really aspire to be a hero; to help people and save the world from evil and all that.'' Reno chipperly explained, walking alongside him. ''You're kinda like a hero too aren't you? Helping save the world.''

''Aha... it's really you girls that are the heroes. I just tell you where to go.'' Modestly he waved off the implication.

''That'd just make you a sidekick then.'' Reno cheekily said, giggling when he blushed. ''Hehe. Either way, I'll be your hero Commander – need anything, just give me a call~! No matter the time of day, rain or sun, I'll be there~!''

''I feel like I've heard that quote somewhere before...''

''Eheh... I might've gotten it from a TV show I watch~''

The bashful way Reno scratched her cheek only endeared him further.

And unbeknownst to the Commander, it was the beginning of a crush on Reno that would only grow from that day forth.

X-x-X

Weeks passed in the blink of an eye.

Settling in took only a day or two, helped by the familiar layout of the command building and the bedroom up on the third floor of the building, meaning he had a lot of time to get used to it. Work was fairly simple thankfully, the lack of any major Siren activity giving him time to get acclimated with the base and get to know his subordinates better. As expected some of them did treat him more like a little brother, which did hurt his authority somewhat, but the majority still obeyed his orders without a second thought.

Reno was in a middle group between them. She doted on him and almost treated him like a little brother, affectionately referring to him as her sidekick, yet still deferred to him for orders – making him more of a hero and her the sidekick in the dynamic. Still he was happy with the arrangement and didn't question her adoration of heroes and her unquestioning obedience to him... it didn't hurt that he got to see her every day too, since she volunteered to be his secretary.

Though admittedly working became more tricky when he had a pretty, doting subordinate in the room at all times.

''Here's the next batch of work, Commander~''

Reno's sweet chirp brought some heat to his cheeks, and with a hurried thanks the Commander accepted the stack of paper Reno offered; laying it on the table before him and reading through it. The sun had already set by now, bathing the sky outside in darkness and leaving his office illuminated by the warm amber glow of the lights, the yellowish tinge easy on the eyes. Perhaps because of that he was more tired than he expected, though still doggedly kept working.

The toll of doing nothing but writing all day took its toll though; his wrist aching from scribbling his signature again and again. Wincing at the feeling he put his pen down for the moment and leaned forwards, massaging his wrist, and after a moment he rested his cheek down against the piece of paper – the position letting him arch his back a bit and give it a nice, therapeutic stretch. He sighed blissfully at the feeling, gazing over Reno as his dutiful secretary organised the filing cabinets, humming a sweet tune under her breath that sounded so serene and melodic.

'...she has a nice voice...' The Commander thought, shutting his eyes – just listening to her hum the song under her breath.

So entrancing was it that the Commander slowly began to drift off, Reno's voice becoming fainter and fainter, until he unknowingly fell asleep at his desk.

''Mn...?''

Aches twinged across the Commander's body as he stirred, consciousness slowly returning to him, leaving him sleepy and groggy. His eyes cracked open but swiftly screwed shut again, staving off the bright glow of the room – taking several attempts before he was able to open his eyes, blearily looking at the room ahead of him. His office, he realised.

'Did I fall asleep...?' The Commander dimly wondered, slowly sitting upright – his stiff body aching in protest.

However the rustling of cloth drew his attention – and when he felt about he was surprised to find a jacket draped over him. It was small and thin but kept him cosy all the same, a familiar perfume on it that caught his attention. It was Reno's jacket. She'd draped it over him whilst he slept.

Just then the double doors of his office creaked open, allowing the Ship-Girl in question to sneak inside, carrying some documents to put away. The moment he shifted more upright she noticed him.

''Oh Commander, you're awake!'' Reno said brightly. ''I'm sorry for not waking you, I thought you could use the sleep.''

''Y-Yeah, I guess I did need it...'' The Commander remarked, stretching his arms up with a low groan. ''Mm... thanks, though. For putting your jacket on me. You didn't need to.''

''Hehe, just doin' my duty, Commander~'' Chipperly Reno responded, a noticeable skip to her step as she went over to the filing cabinets. ''I'm mostly done, so should we continue our work tomorrow, Commander?''

The Commander glanced down at his work – of which still a modest pile remained – and nodded. ''Probably should, yeah. I'll see you out in a minute.''

''Got'cha~''

X-x-X

With every passing week, his crush on Reno only grew – to the point even he became self-aware of it.

It was hard not to fall for the cruiser. She was always positive, she supported him whether it be with tedious paperwork or something more troublesome like mission planning, she entertained him with her unexpectedly-cute rambles about superhero comics and figurines, and she even went out of her way to bring him breakfast from the cafeteria when he was running behind. She was an angel.

And as beautiful as one, the Commander shamefully thought; cheeks warming as he remembered all the quick glances he'd stolen. Though he was obviously never in the same room as Reno when she got changed he'd waited outside her room when she did, allowing him to hear the sound of cloth sliding over skin, of her grunting as she put certain pieces on or sigh as she stretched; the sounds living freely in his mind for weeks after.

It had gotten to the point of him having wet dreams of her. Nothing concrete unfortunately; just vague, hazy ones that slipped from memory not long after he woke up. Often, at least from what he could remember, there wasn't any actual detail to the acts – such as him laying on top of Reno and moving his hips, but not really feeling anything or seeing her expression, her arm having covered her face as she made those lewd grunts and sighs.

Still, vague as they were... they left him wanting the real thing.

''Haah...'' The Commander sighed, sliding a hand over his face.

It was night now; work having finished for the day and allowing him to rest, laid back on his bed. He wasn't sure what to do with himself; half-tempted to maybe try and live-out one of those embarrassingly lewd fantasies with his hand, but knowing it wouldn't compare to the real thing stalled any such desires, the idea of booting up his new games console – graciously given to him by Cassin whilst she was away on a long-term commission – tempting him instead.

That was until he got a knock at the door; joined by a familiar voice.

''Commander? Are you in?''

'Reno?!' The Commander jerked upright, surprised. 'What is she doing here...?'

The thought fled his mind swiftly and he hurried to his feet, still clad in his uniform minus the jacket, yet he patted himself down all the same to make him look neat. ''Y-Yeah, just a minute...''

Reno chirped an agreement, waiting patiently as he 'fumbled' for the keys – using the time to cool his nerves and chase away any lewd thoughts. He couldn't delay forever though and soon unlocked the door, pulling it open and coming face-to-face with his smiling crush.

''Good evening, Commander~'' Reno warmly greeted, lifting a small plastic bag. ''I brought some sweets~''

''Ah? What's the occasion...?''

''No reason, just thought I'd drop by~'' Reno chirped, entering at his gesture. ''North Carolina got a fresh batch and made some of her own, I thought you'd like them~''

The Commander flushed at her open kindness and murmured a thanks, shutting the door behind her. His room wasn't the biggest in the world but more than large enough for his needs; holding a bed over by the square-framed window, some bits of furniture around the room and a modest kitchenette behind a door, the bathroom just adjacent to it. Reno though wasn't bothered by the modesty of his room, merely meandering over to his bed and setting the bag down, rummaging around inside it.

''There's some strawberry hearts, some liquorish strings, some raspberry pops...'' Reno listed off merrily.

He swallowed at that, meandering up to her side – unable to miss the strap of her dark blue bra under her arm. It wasn't the first time he'd seen it but with Reno on his mind the little detail stuck out more, his heart pounding in his chest like a war drum. He wanted her. He wanted her physically and more; clarity coming to him in that very moment. He didn't want to just sleep with her or anything superficial like that – he wanted her by his side, forever.

The thought gave him the confidence to speak. ''Thanks, Reno. For everything.''

''Eh?''

Boldly he took her hand in his own, squeezing it. ''For taking care of me, for helping with running the base... I couldn't have done it without you. Not as easily, anyway.''

''Ah... eheh, you're gonna make me blush~'' Reno sheepishly giggled, flustered by the sudden compliment. ''I'm glad I could be of help, Commander.''

''If you ever need anything just ask.'' He quickly added, looking down and finding the bags of sweets very interesting all of a sudden. ''Really, I mean it.''

''...anything?'' There was an odd inflection to Reno's tone.

''Yeah, anything.'' Without missing a beat he answered.

Only to be surprised by Reno's response. ''T-Then... could I have a kiss?''

Instantly the Commander's face lit up crimson and he looked over at Reno, the two of them practically the same height with her a tiny bit taller. He hesitated for a moment, wondering if this was a joke... but when Reno didn't take it back he dared to cup her cheek. Smiling shyly Reno turned to face him and leaned in, her lips coming closer to his own and encouraging him to lean in-

-until soon their lips met in a kiss. It was his first and felt downright entrancing, their lips staying together for what felt like a small eternity before they drew apart, exhaling a slow breath. Their eyes opened when they drew apart, embarrassment keeping their cheeks tinted scarlet, but after a moment he leaned back in and Reno did the same; allowing their lips to peck together in another tentative kiss.

They drew apart, and without daring to say a word the Commander eased himself down onto the bed, pulling Reno down with him; the two sitting side-by-side. He stroked a thumb along her cheek and lured her into another kiss, their connecting lips muffling any sound they made – leaving his room still and silent for several moments until they broke off the kiss. Only then did Reno find it in her to speak.

''Commander...'' Reno whispered, resting her forehead against his. ''...can we go further, than that?''

The Commander responded by claiming her lips in another kiss; muting her soft moan. Daringly his right hand reached up and slipped in through the side of her top, tickling her underboob; his fingers dipping under the bottom of her bra. Reno shivered at his touch and replied by slipping her hands behind her back, fumbling about for a moment – when her bra clicked loose, allowing her to hurriedly shrug her shoulders and work her bra off, aided when he gave it a few eager tugs; the dark blue bra soon ending on the bed next to them.

And leaving her breasts bare. The shirt she wore over them was partially transparent, giving him an arousing view of her chest as he fondled it – his fingers sinking into her right breast and squeezing. Reno bit her lip at the feeling, a soft mewl escaping her lips until he kissed her again, muting the arousing sound. Reno wasn't idle either though, her right hand palming at his crotch and almost massaging his tenting pants; fingers sliding over his clothed cock and making him groan.

''Mm... Commander...'' Reno breathed against his lips. ''Let me...''

The Commander paused, briefly confused – until Reno tugged on his belt. Taking the hint he withdrew his hand and hurriedly undid his belt; fumbling briefly before all but yanking it open, shoving his pants down with it. Reno giggled slightly at his haste and undid the button on his boxers, allowing her slender hand to caress his cock. The feeling of Reno handling his dick was a sensation he committed to memory, groaning softly as his crush stroked his shaft; bobbing her hand from base to tip and running the thumb over the head sensually.

Flashing him a slight smile Reno shifted onto her side, laying herself partway across his lap, breath tickling his cock – before she smooched the tip. The Commander shuddered at the sensation, managing to hold his voice in as Reno smooched the tip again, then again and again – and on the fourth kiss her lips parted. He couldn't hope to contain his moan at that; letting his voice out as she captured the head of his cock between her lips and sucked on it, the lewd sensation leaving him twitching with thinly-veiled excitement.

''Ah... Mn... R-Reno...'' The Commander moaned.

Reno said nothing, merely tucking some silver hair from her face and swirling her tongue around the tip, lathering it in her saliva before giving it another loving suck. She took him in deeper, lips sliding down his erect shaft inch by inch before sucking back up to the tip, her tongue alternating between lashing the tip or swirling around his girth – the lewd sensation leaving him moaning; trying and failing to keep his voice to himself.

The cruiser clearly wanted to hear it more, her wet mouth enveloping his dick quicker as she bobbed her head faster – wet-sounding slurps filling the room. The Commander gritted his teeth and laid a hand on her head, his fingers weaving into her silver hair and gently pushing her head down; an explosive moan escaping him when Reno let him push her down, nearly all of his dick in her mouth. She grasped the base in her right hand too; stroking him off as she sucked off the rest of his shaft.

When Reno walked into his room he didn't expect to be given head, but he certainly wasn't complaining.

''Mn... k-keep sucking...'' The Commander groaned out.

With a merry hum Reno obliged, wet tongue slithering around his cock before she gave it a nice firm suck – squeezing the base with her hand at the same time. The Commander moaned at the blissful feeling and pushed her head down in response, making the cruiser go nearly all the way down until her lips bumped against her curled fingers; said cruiser swiftly sucking back up to the tip.

The lewd sounds she made only made it feel better; gracing his ears with smooches and slurps that he knew for a fact he'd be hearing in his dreams. The urge to thrust up into her mouth was tempting but he held himself back, bobbing her head with his hand instead and weaving his fingers into her silver locks absentmindedly. The constant sucking however was too good for him to handle; coaxing a distinct, needy heat up his cock that begged for release into her warm, wet mouth.

So he was understandably a bit disappointed when Reno leaned up and popped her lips off. ''Hah... hold on a second, Commander...''

Reluctantly the Commander obliged, somewhat curious as to what she had planned... and his attention was firmly grabbed as Reno reached down and hurriedly unbuttoned her shirt, yanking it open. Without it in the way he got a glorious view of her large breasts, his hungry eyes tracing the curves and shape, committing them to memory. Reno smiled bashfully at his staring and shifted onto the floor in front of him between his legs, hefting her breasts up and leaning in-

-before the cruiser smothered his cock between her plump breasts. The Commander gasped at the foreign sensation; shivers travelling through him as electric pleasure seared his nerves, intimately feeling her soft flesh rub against his cock as she started to move her breasts. Though it was clearly her first time doing such a thing Reno did it with enthusiasm regardless, smiling bashfully up at him as she gave him a titfuck.

''Does it feel good, Commander?'' The cruiser demurely asked.

The Commander responded with a tight grunt; unable to speak lest he let out a shameful moan of bliss. Her prior blow-job had wound him up and just seeing his cock poke out from between her tits was too much; a distinct pressure shooting up his shaft, searing his nerves and whitening his mind.

''R-Reno-!''

Until with a short, gasping shout, he came. Long white ropes erupted from the tip just as it poked out from her cleavage, splattering across Reno's neck and earning a startled squeak from the cruiser herself – her face scrunching up as several ropes hit her in the face. The following spurts were shorter, splattering down onto the top of her tits or shooting between them when the tip disappeared into her cleavage, making a sticky mess all over her front.

The Commander shuddered at the sight; forcing himself to keep his eyes open, savouring the lewd sight before him. Spasms lurched up his body and twitches travelled down his cock, the intense wave of bliss slowly easing off as he came down from his high – and with a soft, drawn-out groan he relaxed, leaning back on his arms and panting heavily, catching his breath.

''Hehe.'' Reno giggled shyly, spending a moment to take her top off completely and using it to wipe her face with it.

The Commander watched through half-lidded eyes as Reno stood, taking a moment to take her skirt off – revealing the pantyhose she wore underneath, gaps in the thighs that revealed the skin underneath; as well as her dark blue panties. The cruiser's cheeks reddened but she made no move to cover herself, demure as she climbed onto his lap, both of them knowing what they wanted to do next but neither having the courage to outright say it.

Grabbing her shapely ass the Commander helped steady her – not-so-subtly groping her rear in the process – whilst Reno tugged her underwear to the side, revealing her smooth sex. The tip of his cock rubbed against it as she lowered herself down, earning a mutual shudder from both of them, anticipation evident as Reno gently, almost teasingly rubbed herself against it, the risk of her loosing her balance and accidentally impaling herself on him all too real.

''I'll start, okay?'' Reno whispered to him, not needing to raise her voice beyond that.

''Y-Yeah.'' The Commander stammered back, embarrassed.

Reno giggled softly at that, leaning in and claiming his lips in a soft, romantic kiss, her hand caressing his cheek – just as she lowered herself down onto him. He speared into her easily, her walls parting as the head pushed in and his shaft soon following; her insides clamping tightly around him. The feeling was downright heavenly, forcing a moan from the Commander's throat, uncontainable even by the kiss and coaxing a whimper from Reno herself too.

The cruiser took him halfway inside before she stopped; taking a moment to get used to the feeling before lifting herself up a little. She grunted, shifting her knees slightly so it was more comfortable before lowering herself down once more; moving her hips in a gentle rhythm. Her walls hugged him tightly as she moved, the friction slow but intense and easily rendering the Commander a groaning mess, barely able to keep himself propped up with his arms as Reno impaled herself onto him.

''Ahh... Reno...'' Not wanting to be the submissive one though he forced himself to sit more upright; clutching at the back of her head and pulling her into a kiss. ''Wanted to do this with you... Mn, for weeks...''

''You did...?'' Reno murmured against his lips, a tinge of surprise colouring her embarrassed tone.

''Yeah...'' Holding her ass with his free hand he guided her down deeper, groaning as he felt more of his cock be swallowed up. ''I really like you...''

Too embarrassed to hear her response he yanked her into another kiss, devouring the cruiser's mewl. Rather than try and speak Reno responded with her body instead; grasping his shoulders and moving her hips more vigorously, pushing herself all the way down his dick and tightening up; her moan of bliss tickling his lips. Putting his hands back behind him the Commander let her do the moving, gripping at the sheets as she hurriedly impaled herself onto him with every feverish roll of her waist, his cock filling her to the brim.

Their flesh smacked together erotically, the sound filling the bedroom and perhaps even the hallway outside, but he had no fear of being overheard – tempting him to buck his hips up. Reno let out a short squeal, lurching towards him until he caught her wrists and rolled them over, pinning his lover to the bed with their positions flipped.

''Heh.'' The Commander felt a bit cocky; grinning down at his blushing crush. ''My turn.''

Then without missing a beat the Commander started to move; plunging himself into Reno and fucking a sweet moan from her throat, the sound muted with a kiss. His hands slid up her arms until he found her hands and grasped them clumsily, their fingers fumbling for a moment before they managed to interlock their digits together, holding hands as he ploughed into her, their pelvises loudly smacking as he went balls-deep in her again and again.

Doing it missionary though felt much more intense; his cock hitting new spots within her as he did the moving, making Reno seize up under him and clench around his cock, her sweet cries filling his ears when he pulled back from the kiss. Her ample breasts drew his eyes, watching as they bounced from his powerful thrusts – until Reno cupped his cheek and yanked him into another kiss, moaning into his mouth as he kept ploughing her into the sheets, going balls-deep with every thrust.

''Commander, Commander, C-Commander...!'' Reno cried out against his lips, tightening like a vice around his cock.

The Commander just groaned back; fresh heat lancing up his cock as the friction became too great, pushing him to his limit – until with a shout, he exceeded that limit.

''Cum- Mn!''

Thick splashes of white painted Reno's insides, his undulating thrusts smearing his seed across her walls – the sudden shock of it pushing Reno to an orgasm, her hot cry ringing in his ears and her inner walls clamping tight around him, squeezing out even more of his load. He kept thrusting for as long as his hips would allow, the wet 'pap-pap-pap' of their colliding flesh egging him on and on.

Until eventually his hips refused to keep moving, and with a grunt he hilted inside his crush, going still. Strength seeped from his frame and he gradually relaxed, groaning shakily as he came down from his orgasmic high, soon just collapsing outright atop Reno.

''Oof...'' The cruiser grunted cutely, right hand slipping from his and wrapping around his back. ''Commander, that felt... incredible... hehe~''

The Commander shuddered, letting out a moan of agreement. He didn't know how long they laid there, panting and shivering together in the aftershocks of their mutual orgasms, but soon he grew soft and pulled out – rolling over onto the bed next to her with a groan. Smiling slightly Reno slipped her right hand into his left at that, the little bit of affection renewing the scarlet hue on his cheeks.

Reno just giggled at his reaction. ''I like it when you get all flustered... it makes you look so cute, Commander.''

''I don't...'' Rather petulantly he pouted, looking aside.

Until Reno stroked his cheek, drawing his gaze back to her. She didn't say anything, just gazing at him with open affection in her eyes – letting the silence reign for nearly a full minute before she broke it.

''You know... you really are a hero, Commander.'' Reno softly remarked, trailing a finger along his arm and drawing a figure-eight. ''You said we Ship-Girls were, but if it wasn't for you we wouldn't be able to fight off the bad guys as well. More than that... you're my hero.''

The sincere smile she shot his way burned his cheeks, but also brought a tentative smile to his own lips. ''Then I guess that makes us partners, huh?''

A giggle answered him. ''Yep!''

The duo broke into a brief burst of laughter at that, leaning in for another kiss to seal the deal.

Many would later comment on Reno's newfound adoration for the Commander, but none drew the connection for a solid week.
