"What happened to your earrings?" Gourry asked as he took a bite from his sandwich. While it had been hard finding a spot to eat lunch that wasn't muddy after the previous night's rain, they eventually found an outcropping of rocks to have a picnic spread on.

"Don't know." Lina said, "Couldn't find them this morning. Why?"

He grinned dopily, "Well, I'd never noticed before, but your earlobes are cute."

Lina blushed, "What, so you have an earlobe fetish now?"

"Hey, would you rather I not like your earlobes?"

"Who likes earlobes?"

"Lots of men do." He said.

"Why?" she asked, mystified.

He said nothing as he sidled up behind her and brushed her hair from her neck. "Gourry?" she asked as she cocked her eyes back to look at him as he brought his lips down to suckle on her ear. "Gourry!"

But the pleasure that follow soon drowned out the surprise. Damn! Who knew that earlobes were so sensitive? Slowly she relaxed as she focused on the sensations, cooing in delight as he evoked pleasure she didn't think possible from stimulating the ears.

"See?" he whispered into her ear, causing her to shudder with glee, "Should I continue?"

"Yes." She said, and he gently blew in her ear before he went back to nibbling on it.

Slowly he moved his hands from her waist up to cup her breasts. She squeaked, and he pulled away and smiled at her. "I bet you appreciate earlobes a lot more now."

"Don't get cocky." She replied as she willed the blush away from her cheeks. "Gourry…"

"What?"

She looked at the ground, "Is there any other weird places to kiss that feel good that you want to show me?"

He grinned, "Come to my room tonight and see."


AN: I had some vague idea of organizing my folders for the new year and was going through stuff and found this. It was inspired by the Rui Araizumi gif with Gourry sucking on Lina's earlobe, and originally it was a part of Slayers, Neverending, but it didn't work where it was so I ended up cutting it. Decided to polish and post today to celebrate the announcement of a 16th SLAYERS NOVEL BEING RELEASED! After 18 years Hajime Kanzaka is doing a sequel to the 15th novel! Here's hoping for lots of official L/G squee material! Considering my 2018 started with someone in the family dying on New Years Day and has so far been spectacularly crappy, this is news that I really needed and turns things around a bit. Now why didn't I ever learn to read Japanese!?
