A/N: As said in the prior chapter, this is more of a smutty chapter, so you can skip down to the bottom once the smut starts if that isn't your thing.

Dance With Me (In The Dark)

Winter was upon them.

It was just the start of November, yet snow was already in abundance. Whereas Spring had brought pink cherry blossoms that danced on the wind, Winter arrived with a sky full of snowflakes that fell like frozen rain drops, covering the ground in a blanket of white that spanned across the whole island.

Kawakaze watched the snow fall silently from within the warm confines of Amagi's home, the shoji door ajar enough to let her watch from within their shared bedroom, sitting upon their futon. It had been over half a year since the Naval Treaty had been modified to allow Amagi's continued existence, and since she and Amagi had started dating.

And how she loathed the term 'dating' – maybe it was because it sounded so childish and wannabe-romantic, but she always got embarrassed whenever someone brought it up.

Despite her inner loathing of the term, however, Kawakaze couldn't help but admit she sincerely enjoyed the time she spent with Amagi. From the summer days when they would lay under the shade watching the clouds drift by, to the cool autumn evenings spent soaking in the outdoor onsen, counting the endless stars in the midnight sky. The Mid-Autumn Festival had only happened a little over a month ago, and she vividly remembered exploring the many stalls and games with Amagi at her side, passing by countless other couples who all radiated sincere joy.

Amagi would often teasingly remind her that she had never seen Kawakaze smile so many times in one day.

Soft footfalls drew her attention, her animal ears twitching at the sound. The door to the indoor baths opened and Amagi emerged, wrapped in a simple brown sleeping yukata that hugged her curvaceous form nicely. Her brown hair fell behind her, still slightly damp along with her fox tails and ears. While she had gotten weaker over the past few months she was declining at a slower rate, on account of not being so reckless – at Kawakaze's behest, of course.

''Are you ready for bed, Kawakaze?'' Amagi queried warmly.

''Mm.'' Kawakaze agreed quietly. She was already clad in a white yukata – the only reason she hadn't tucked into the futon was because she wanted Amagi to be next to her. It was almost routine by now.

Amagi clearly noticed that, smiling amusedly at the Destroyer. Kawakaze blushed and looked away, closing the shoji door wordlessly while Amagi gracefully walked around the room, softly blowing out the candles that lit the room until none remained, plunging the room into near-darkness. Moonlight peered through the rice-paper shoji door, providing enough light for both Ship-Girls to slither under the covers of the futon.

Kawakaze gladly snuggled in close against Amagi like she was a human pillow, arms deftly wrapping around her curvy frame and resting her head in the crook of Amagi's neck. Almost on instinct she breathed in the older woman's scent, savouring the smell of her shampoo – like fresh dew after rain. She never did find out what the actual scent was, but it often made her feel so unbearably hot. It was so enticing. It wasn't pure lust, but rather like a spark – a spark of her previous life, of sitting in the dry docks awaiting to be launched.

It reminded her of the eager spark that once filled her veins, when she had not yet seen the machinations of war.

She exhaled, her breath hot against Amagi's neck. ''You're so beautiful...''

Amagi blushed lightly at the sudden compliment, snaking an arm around Kawakaze's back. ''As are you, my dear River Wind...''

''I told you...'' Kawakaze murmured as she shifted closer, ''...stop calling me that...''

Any reply was silenced as Kawakaze leaned in, pressing her lips against Amagi's. The busty Battlecruiser hummed into the kiss, pulling Kawakaze closer and deepening the slow kiss. It lasted for only a few moments before they broke apart for air, only to kiss again mere seconds later. The quiet smacking of lips filled the darkened room, moonlight illuminating their forms enough to be see each other.

They pulled back from the kiss, breathing slightly heavier before Kawakaze leaned in and boldly started kissing Amagi's neck, eliciting a quiet groan from the elegant Battlecruiser. Her lips ghosted over her skin between kisses, sending shivers through Amagi as Kawakaze peppered her pale skin with delicate kisses. The Destroyer's lithe hands carefully wandered under Amagi's yukata, not openly touching her but the request implied.

''Mm... go ahead...'' Amagi affirmed quietly, blushing as Kawakaze immediately swapped targets and kissed her on the lips.

With deft hands Kawakaze pushed Amagi onto her back and climbed atop her, sliding her hands into Amagi's brown yukata and loosening it open, exposing the Battlecruiser's ample breasts. Kawakaze wasted no time in groping them, fingers digging into her soft skin with a look of cute fascination on her face. The softness was unrivalled, almost like dough, and tipped with cute pink nipples. They were so big she could probably bury her head between them.

The prospect invoked her curiosity, prompting her to wrap her lips around Amagi's nipple and lightly suck on it, earning a soft moan from the Battlecruiser. She dragged her tongue over the pink nub, tracing circles around it or lightly prodding it with the tip of her tongue. Without warning she pulled her lips off with a quiet pop, instead attacking the other nipple and teasing that one too, coating it in her saliva as she gave it the same treatment. Her lips then trailed between Amagi's ample breasts, kissing the smooth skin between her breasts and burying her head between the older woman's boobs, using her hands to grope both of Amagi's breasts at the same time.

''Nn...'' Amagi breathed, shuddering as Kawakaze started kissing between her large breasts, sucking on the skin. ''Kawakaze...''

The Destroyer smirked faintly, shifting lower. Her kisses trailed down Amagi's stomach as she tugged the yukata aside, slowly revealing more of Amagi's beautiful body to her. She planted a wet kiss on her navel, prying open the last of her yukata and letting the thin fabric fall aside, leaving Amagi bare before her. Kawakaze greedily took in the sight, eyes wandering over Amagi's ample breasts, her soft stomach and long legs. Her cheeks burned with embarrassment as she glanced down at Amagi's pussy, the lewdness of the situation making her stomach flutter.

Amagi smiled demurely, ''Fufu... does my naked body entice you so much~?''

Kawakaze's blush darkened, not deigning that with a response. Instead she slid down onto her stomach, warm breath brushing against Amagi's slit. With only a second of delay Kawakaze leaned in, planting a tender kiss on Amagi's lower lips and earning a low groan from the Battlecruiser. Encouraged she continued, peppering her pussy with gentle kisses and slipping her tongue out, dragging it along her lower lips – a smile flickering across her lips when she tasted Amagi's arousal.

''Ah... Mn...'' Amagi grunted softly, gripping the futon beneath her as pleasure lanced along her nerves.

A moan escaped the busty fox-woman as Kawakaze's tongue darted out, slithering inside her pussy and wiggling around inside her. Kawakaze's hands snaked around Amagi's thighs, keeping her from shifting away and letting the petite Ship-Girl bury her head between the Battlecruiser's thighs, eating her out with a kind of determined vigour she hadn't felt in years, wanting nothing more than to hear Amagi cry her name.

The tangy taste of Amagi's arousal lingered on her tongue, only encouraging her further and doubling her efforts. Despite her inexperience she made up for it with passionate determination, tongue swirling and curling inside Amagi's pussy and making the older woman groan sensually. After a moment of idle thought she released the Battlecruiser's left thigh, instead bringing her hand up to Amagi's pussy and gently sliding a finger inside.

''Haah... more...'' Amagi breathed, shuddering as Kawakaze obediently pushed a second finger inside. ''Kawakaze... kiss me...''

Kawakaze blushed but silently complied, shifting up Amagi's curvy body until they were face-to-face. The older woman wasted no time in cupping her cheeks and capturing her lips in a heated kiss, moaning into her mouth as Kawakaze started thrusting her nimble finger into her pussy. Almost as if to make up for her slim fingers she added a third, earning a throaty moan from Amagi that was barely muffled by the kiss.

''Nn...'' Amagi pulled back from the kiss, breathing heavy. ''Ah... you're really... Mm... good at this...''

''T-Thank you...'' Kawakaze's already red cheeks grew darker. ''D-Does it... feel good?''

Amagi chuckled breathlessly. ''Most... ah... definitely...''

A hint of a smile fluttered across Kawakaze's lips before she kissed Amagi again with thinly-veiled eagerness. She made sure to spice up her motions; thrusting her fingers in one moment only to start scissoring them the next, then gyrating them in small circles. One would think she was a natural at sex... if they were unaware she had 'studied' voraciously for this very moment, anxious she would underperform.

Soon Amagi's breathing quickened, her already-limited stamina showing through. With growing lust she feverishly kissed Kawakaze, her hands aimlessly threading through her lover's grey hair or descending down to her collarbone, pulling her into a deep kiss filled with passion not unlike a flickering flame.

Almost unconsciously Amagi started rolling her hips, impaling herself on Kawakaze's fingers as the Destroyer thrust them into her. The pleasure was starting to make her mind fog up and made it hard to focus on anything but said pleasure. Her pussy burned with need but she held back, not wanting to cum so soon. Despite her desires however her stamina was beginning to waver, her pelvis twisting and tightening as her end drew close.

''N-Nn... Kawakaze...'' Amagi moaned softly, groaning throatily as the Destroyer suddenly added a fourth finger – nearly making her cum on the spot.

''Say it again...'' Kawakaze murmured heatedly, passion blazing in her deep blue eyes.

Amagi exhaled, her back arching as four fingers plunged into her rapidly, Kawakaze's knuckles bumping against her lower lips. ''M-Mm! K-Kawakaze!''

Her sharp cry pierced the night air as she climaxed, her body shuddering powerfully as her orgasm ripped through her. Kawakaze blushed darkly, slowing her thrusting fingers but not stopping completely, feeling Amagi's sweet honey coat the digits. She let the busty Battlecruiser ride out her orgasm, slowing her fingers to a stop as Amagi relaxed.

Kawakaze gently pulled her fingers out, staring at the honey-coated digits – before sticking them in her mouth, licking them clean almost curiously and humming pleasantly at the taste. Amagi laughed breathlessly at the sight, her ample chest rising and falling as she sucked in air. For a long few moments she didn't say anything, simply recovering from her intense orgasm.

A minute later she felt well enough to speak. ''Kawakaze... allow me?''

Kawakaze looked away, almost-shyly nodding her head. She sat back and slowly shrugged her white yukata off, the thin fabric slipping off her shoulder and pooling around her waist. Her cheeks quickly regained a pink tint as her modest breasts were exposed, unashamed of them but feeling lacklustre compared to Amagi's large ones.

Amagi smiled, sitting up and resting her hands on Kawakaze's shoulders before leaning in, kissing her. The Destroyer shuddered as she felt Amagi's hands ghost down her collarbone and to her modest breasts, gently curling around them. There was enough to grope and squeeze, something Amagi made sure to do, earning a low groan from Kawakaze as she was fondled.

''Nn... Amagi...'' Kawakaze breathed as they parted from the kiss.

The busty Battlecruiser only smiled, kissing her on the nose before pushing Kawakaze to the side and rolling them over, pinning the petite Ship-Girl beneath her.

Kawakaze blushed, demurely shifting up so her head rested against the pillows, feeling uncomfortably exposed like this – her yukata tugged away, leaving her completely nude. Amagi clearly savoured it, hazy purple eyes lovingly taking in the sight of her long slim legs, her flat stomach and narrow hips. Without any clothes on she looked almost fragile, like a single rough hit would break her.

Amagi leaned in, attacking the Destroyer's neck with feathery kisses. Kawakaze shuddered, mewling softly as Amagi masterfully nibbled on her skin, trailing around and kissing her throat before going south. Amagi's breath-stealing lips moved down her defined collarbone and to her breasts, kissing the tops of her boobs before going between them. Her hands ghosted down Kawakaze's sides, settling on the sides of her stomach as Amagi toyed with her breasts.

''Mm...'' Kawakaze couldn't help but moan softly.

The Battlecruiser smiled at that, shifting to her right breast and wrapping her lips around the nipple, tenderly sucking on it and eliciting another cute mewl from the Destroyer. She swapped between her breasts, peppering both with loving kisses and licking the pink nubs tipping them – never leaving one unattended, groping one while she licked the other.

After a minute she stopped, giving Kawakaze's breasts one last kiss before moving down. The petite Ship-Girl groaned as Amagi planted a wet kiss on her pussy – but instead of continuing, she suddenly swapped targets and started kissing her left thigh. Her lips came maddeningly close to her aching pussy, only for Amagi to kiss her pelvis then start kissing her right thigh, nipping the skin lightly.

''Haah... Amagi...'' Kawakaze mewled impatiently, gripping the pillow behind her.

A playful smile curled at Amagi's lips. ''Hm~? What ever could it be, Kawakaze?''

Kawakaze blushed darkly. ''Y-You know... what I...''

Amagi looked positively devious, her lips brushing so close to Kawakaze's pussy the latter could feel Amagi's breath brush against her aching lips. ''Well~?''

''L... Lick me... down there...'' Kawakaze mumbled embarrassedly, looking away.

Amagi chuckled. Her little'River Wind'was too cute sometimes.

Taking mercy upon her, Amagi leaned in and planted an affectionate kiss on Kawakaze's pussy, earning a sharp groan from the Destroyer. Her hands tenderly massaged Kawakaze's petite thighs as she kissed and licked her pussy, teasingly sliding her tongue between her lower lips but not slipping it inside just yet. Kawakaze clearly noticed this, whining Amagi's name and rocking her hips towards her.

Amagi smiled, burying her head between Kawakaze's thighs and pushing her tongue inside the petite Ship-Girl's pussy. The Destroyer groaned adorably, shuddering as Amagi expertly licked at her inner walls, driving her mad in seconds from the masterful technique. Her pleasure was only heightened by the way Amagi massaged her thighs, teasingly tracing circles with her index finger or pinching the skin, sending her muscles into confused spasms.

''N-Nn... a-ah...'' Kawakaze mewled, biting her lip. ''Amagi... p-please... faster... ah...''

The Battlecruiser warmly obliged, pulling her tongue back only to replace it with two fingers, pushing them into Kawakaze's needy pussy and earning a fresh moan from the Destroyer. Without delay she started thrusting them, plunging them in rapidly and making Kawakaze's hips buckle from the sensation. Her honey coated Amagi's nimble fingers, only letting them slide in even easier and heightening her pleasure further, demure moans and cute gasps escaping Kawakaze as the older woman toyed with her.

Amagi shifted up, planting a trail of wet kisses along Kawakaze's toned stomach while not slowing her jerking fingers, much to the Destroyer's audible delight. She pressed her lips against the underside of Kawakaze's breasts, lightly sucking on the sensitive skin before dragging her tongue up to her nipple, once again taking it in her mouth and lovingly sucking on it. The way the petite Ship-Girl squirmed was all the more alluring to the busty Battlecruiser.

''You always remark on my beauty...'' Amagi murmured, planting a brief kiss on Kawakaze's collarbone, before kissing her on the lips. ''...but, you are by far more so.''

Kawakaze blushed, unable to respond on account of having no breath in her lungs to do so. A fresh moan slipped past her pink lips as Amagi curled her fingers inside the Destroyer's pussy, sending pleasure-induced shivers running through her. As if to stop her from replying Amagi added a third finger, gyrating the digits around inside Kawakaze and stirring her pussy up, making her mind melt from the foreign pleasure.

''Ah...'' Kawakaze shuddered, Amagi's thumb teasingly rubbing her clit. ''Amagi...''

Amagi chuckled softly, kissing her cheek. ''I'm rather tempted... to tease you, if only just a little...''

Kawakaze shuddered, shaking her head. ''No... I'm so close... ah...''

The Battlecruiser smiled playfully, speeding up her fingers and making the Destroyer gasp. ''Then ask for it~''

The grey-haired Destroyer blushed darkly, squirming embarrassedly – tensing when Amagi pulled her fingers back slightly. Not enough to pull them out, but enough to be noticeable.

Kawakaze looked away. ''P-Please... make me cum... Uu...''

Amagi licked her lips. ''Good girl~''

As if to reward her Amagi fingered her with renewed vigour, adding her thumb into the mix and rubbing circles on Kawakaze's clit. The petite Ship-Girl quivered at the feeling, her breathing coming out in short gasps as the need for air fought with her need for pleasure, mind fogging up under the weight of it all.

Like a fire raging in her it built up, rapidly consuming her remaining stamina – before it all boiled over.

''M-Mm~! A-Ah~!'' Kawakaze cried, arching her back as her orgasm rushed through her like fire, setting her nerves alight with heavenly pleasure and making her mind go completely blank.

Amagi kept thrusting her fingers, letting Kawakaze ride out her climax. Only when she went slack against the bed, gasping in air, did the Battlecruiser pull her honey-coated digits out – and promptly lick them clean, chuckling mirthfully when Kawakaze blushed darkly at the sight.

''Well... I think this marks an... exciting evening.'' Amagi murmured amusedly, glancing down at their futon. ''I suppose we'll just have to clean up the mess in the morning, ufufu...''

Catching her breath, Kawakaze pushed herself up into a sitting position, her nerves still burning with the aftershocks. She had to agree that it was exciting. They had never gone past kissing or maybe a little groping, and now that she had a taste she found herself almost wanting to go another round.

However more than that, she wanted to do something. Something she had been planning for weeks, commissioning Akashi and Nagato's help specifically for. She loved Amagi dearly, her feelings having grown over the years from strangers, to accomplices, to friends, to companions, to lovers. Tonight was the final proof she needed that her love was true, and that Amagi's was equally so.

''Amagi...''

''Hm? What is it, Kawakaze?'' The busty Battlecruiser queried lightly, raising an eyebrow when Kawakaze reached under her pillows... and withdrew a box.

Kawakaze turned, blushing lightly and shifting almost nervously, before she opened the box.

A box that contained a pair of silver rings.

''W-Will you... marry me?''

Amagi stared in stunned disbelief, taken aback by the sudden proposal. For several long seconds, the air was still.

Before Amagi smiled softly. ''It... it would be an honour, to be wed to someone such as you, Kawakaze...''

Kawakaze smiled brightly, her expression so honest and pure it was a sight to behold. One Amagi was sure to remember, sealing the deal with a loving kiss.
