The first couple of months of his new life had turned out both better and worse than Kazuma expected. He didn't become an overpowered superhero overnight and even Aqua, a literal goddess, didn't have the power to kill Devil King with the snap of her fingers. They had to sleep in a drafty stable on a haystack mixed with shit (and pay for this amazing opportunity every week), the only decent work they found was extremely hard labor at a construction site and the only entertainment around was drinking their weight in cheap alcohol.

But that wasn't the real issue. As any lonely teenage boy, he often dreamed about living together with a girl (say, a cute step-sister or two), and now he finally got the opportunity. Or more like a curse, because on the one hand, he quickly got familiar with the fact that girls had to deal with all the same shit (literal and figurative) as the boys, not to mention their own additional problems, like bleeding several days a month out of their vagina. This hit him hard, and Aqua much harder (not to mention, he had to explain some things to her which he never wanted to know in the first place).

And secondly, even with all the gross stuff, he was living (and sleeping) together with a living breathing girl, who apparently didn't have any issues with nudity. It's not like she went out of her way to prance naked around him, but neither did she try to hide that much while changing or washing up in the evenings they couldn't afford the bathhouse. Not to mention that they arrived in early spring, which made their nights cold enough to force them under the same blanket most of the time. It was pure torture, especially since he barely got any privacy to take care of his business. Aqua was either oblivious, or pretending to be, though going by her jokes (at his expense) and previous occupation, she had to know a lot of real world stuff. To be fair, Kazuma had no idea if she was a virgin, or if gods even did stuff like that with each other or with mortals. He didn't know how to bring this question up with Aqua either.

His perpetual horniness aside, Kazuma couldn't really complain that much. After initial resentment, Aqua seemed to forgive him for bringing her to this world, especially since he genuinely didn't know at the time that she wouldn't be able to return on her own. And he, in turn, forgave the goddess for her thoughtless and mean comments regarding his death. Mostly because he now knew Aqua better and could see that she wasn't a mean person, just self-centered and lacking a filter. Well, it's not like Kazuma was that much different from her in that regard. Overall, their situation forced them to get along to survive and while some days he thought about leaving Aqua to fend for herself (and he was certain she had similar thoughts) he never tried to. Somehow, they found the (almost) perfect rhythm of working, drinking and sleeping together with hardly a word needed to understand each other.

The happy times were many, more than he'd have expected in their situation. When they found the stable, after a week of sleeping in (and being chased out of) random cold and dirty places. When they bought their first blanket. When Aqua found her pretty blue pajamas (okay, he wasn't very happy about the cost, but they were worth it at least for better covering her body at night and making his life a little easier). When other workers finally accepted the weird couple as their own.

It was an ordinary workday at the construction site. Kazuma was busy stacking bricks (tedious work, but at least it didn't lead to his back hurting too much), while Aqua was painting a wall nearby. The new house they were working on was almost finished, except for the roof, which was being worked on by a couple of more experienced crew members.

That's when the accident happened. This kind of thing wasn't unusual in construction work, and injuries were a constant risk, but for Kazuma and Aqua it was one of the scariest experiences of their lives, including some of the later adventures.

A part of the scaffolding the roof workers had been standing on suddenly collapsed under their weight and down they went. Both men managed to escape with minor bruises, as they fell into some grass, but Aqua hadn't been so lucky. She tried to jump out of the way, but wasn't fast enough and the heavy platform landed on her lower leg, shattering several bones and crushing it.

Kazuma's heart fell right down his stomach as the girl's piercing scream rang in his ears. He didn't freeze for more than a second and neither did the foreman and most of the workers. With their combined strength, the boards were quickly removed and horrified Kazuma was presented with a bloody mess that Aqua's leg had become. The goddess, completely out of her mind with pain, tried to crawl away, and he immediately went to stop her from further injuring herself, drawing her head into his lap and trying to calm her down with some blabbering nonsense. The foreman sent someone to get a priest from the local Eris church, but it was at least fifteen minutes walk. Aqua, having lost the strength to scream, was still too much in shock to attempt healing herself.

That's when Kazuma got his first (well, maybe second) crazy idea. It was just outrageous enough to somehow work in this world. In any other situation, he'd never do something like that, much less try and convince a group of older and stronger men, but he was out of options.

"Please pray to Lady Aqua with everything you have!" screamed Kazuma, looking around and seeing all the worried, but confused faces. Of course, they didn't agree right away.

"I like our Aqua, but not that weird goddess!"

"Me too, I follow Lady Eris, maybe we should pray to her?"

"It's not like Aqua ever helped anyone I know!"

"Please!" Kazuma begged again. "Please, do it, just until the priest is here. Do it for Aqua, you know how much she likes the goddess, she practically turned herself into a copy of her."

The men grumbled, but one after another they went on their knees and started to pray. Meanwhile Kazuma closed his eyes and tried to tune out the actual Aqua's sobs to focus on the divine. It was the first genuine prayer he ever attempted, and what he actually did was running through all the happiest memories he had of Aqua and reminding himself over and over that she was, in fact, a real goddess, a holy, immortal being, and mere broken bones shouldn't even phase her godly mind.

His technique turned out to be a little too good, at least at distracting him, since soon he felt some strange sense of calm, like a large, slow river washing over him, taking away his fear and his worries. That's how Kazuma spent the next few minutes, stuck inside his head, until suddenly there were hands on his cheeks, shaking him a little.

Opening his eyes, he was greeted with a welcome sight. Aqua stopped sobbing, even though her face was still wet with tears and was looking up at him with wide eyes instead. Then they both slowly gazed at her mangled leg. Which wasn't mangled at all, but seemed completely whole and healthy, even if covered in blood. Aqua wiggled her toes a few times to check and her lips stretched in a smile and her eyes filled with tears once again. The pair ignored the men getting up all around them and looked at each other in wonder.

"You- you- you prayed to me!" Aqua said in a high pitched voice. "You actually prayed to me."

"Um, yeah. The guys helped too." Kazuma was suddenly embarrassed, even though his idea seemed to work much better than he expected.

"You prayed to me," Aqua repeated, and then suddenly say up and turned to him. This time Kazuma got back some of his attitude.

"Of course I did, you are a goddess, aren't you!"

Then there were lips covering his own and the back of his head was meeting the hard ground from the force of Aqua's pounce. As far as first kisses went, this one was on a painful side, instead of the supposed pleasurable one. Still, they both got the hang of it pretty soon, turning on their sides and angling their heads to avoid further injuries. It wasn't much more than uncertain brushing of lips with some weird and unsuccessful attempts to bring tongue into action, but it was a new and wonderful experience to both of them.

Too soon, they were interrupted by the laughter and the hoots of the rest of the crew. Some of the men winked at Kazuma, some playfully ruffled Aqua's hair and complained about not getting their own thanks for so diligently praying for her health. At this the goddess just laughed, her pain and fear completely forgotten, and quickly hugged some of the nicer men.

In the end the foreman sent them home to recover with full pay for the day, after someone found a pair of old boots for Aqua to replace her damaged one. And so they went, pretending to ignore a few parting comments the likes of "don't celebrate too hard, kids".

After the bathhouse and dinner, the atmosphere at the stable was more subdued and awkward than either of them would've liked.

Still, Aqua was never the one for uncomfortable silence. Setting down on their blanket, she stuck her leg in Kazuma's direction.

"Does it look alright? It feels fine, but I'm not sure if all the bones aligned properly."

The young man took the bait and put his hands on the offered limb, probing it gently. He knew it was a pointless exercise, with Aqua being a naturally talented healer, she would've felt if something was wrong and fixed it right away.

Yet, he kept up the pretense of checking it, while actually running his hands all over Aqua's smooth skin and even carefully squeezing her toes one by one, which made the girl giggle and jerk her foot a little. Kazuma couldn't help but smile himself. This wasn't anything like those weird foot fetish videos he saw, this was something almost pure, playful and affectionate. Something he never thought he'd have, something he never even knew existed.

Then Aqua, being Aqua, got to the point right away.

"So, do you want to kiss some more?"

Back in Japan, with one of his classmates, or maybe a random girl he met at a club, Kazuma would probably stutter and blush, because while he wanted, oh, he wanted so much, he was a little scared and embarrassed by his inexperience.

But this was Aqua, his Aqua, and they had done so many stupid and embarrassing things together. He held her hair as she vomited rainbows. The only feeling he felt was excitement and anticipation of things to come.

So he leaned in, and met his goddess halfway. They spent long minutes experimenting, finding new and better ways to fit their lips together.

Somehow they ended up lying down, with Kazuma on his back and Aqua on top of him, her leg carelessly thrown over his and her thigh (whether by accident or not) rubbing against his dick.

That's when another new experience happened to Kazuma. He always laughed so hard when this occurred in anime, the ultimate embarrassment for any teenage boy. As Aqua's breast brushed against his shoulder (he could actually feel her hardened nipple) and her warm and soft thigh pushed especially hard on his helpless member even with all the fabric between them, it proved too much and Kazuma came inside his pants.

Which was something not even he could bear with a smile, and he quickly turned away and cowered, bringing his knees to his chest and barely holding away tears. Aqua could only stare at him, completely flabbergasted. Maybe in another embarrassing situation, she would've mocked Kazuma, but this time she had no idea what happened, only that the source of her pleasure had been rudely and suddenly taken from her.

"Kazuma, what's going on? Did I hurt you or something?"

"Come on, laugh, I know you want to!" was his bitter answer.

"What's funny? I don't know what happened! Why are you like this?" now Aqua was getting upset as well.

For the first time, Kazuma considered the possibility that she actually didn't know. And if she didn't, well, she'll never have to find out. He'll just leave and wash up, and then never bring this whole thing up again. Maybe find another girl to try things out with.

He turned back and looked at Aqua. Her eyes were a little misty and her lip was starting to tremble, but her rumpled hair and swollen lips reminded him of everything that happened today.

Kazuma didn't want another girl. He wanted this one. And was it really worth it to end their night abruptly with no explanation? What if Aqua never wanted to kiss him again? So he made a leap of faith, another one.

"Um, sorry, I just had an accident."

"What? Did you pee your pants?"

"No!" Somehow Kazuma was even more horrified at her assumption. He wasn't a baby! "No, I just came in my pants. It's because you are so hot, and you were rubbing against me, I just-"

"What do you mean, came?"

"Had an orgasm. Don't you know about this stuff?"

"Um, I know how babies are made, in general, but it's never something that happened back home. And I saw some things from the dead I greeted, but not much, only stuff that happened right before they died. None of them died from sex, as far as I remember!" Now Aqua was pouting. She never liked to appear clueless, even if she often did.

"Well, anyway, I had an orgasm, or came, and now it's all wet inside my pants."

"Oh? It's wet inside my pants too! I thought it's normal, but I don't feel like I had an orgasm. Isn't it supposed to feel amazing, like an explosion or something?"

Kazuma gulped. Did he hear that right? Did she just admit she was wet for him? Oh fuck. He suddenly was on the verge of hyperventilating.

"It's… it probably means you are excited," he somehow managed to answer. "I think you'd notice if you had an orgasm."

"Ok, but why were you upset if you had an orgasm? Didn't it feel good?"

"It did. It's just, guys aren't supposed to come in their pants."

"Why not?"

Kazuma was completely stunned. He never considered that a girl might not get upset at things like that. He imagined what he'd feel if Aqua came from making out with him. If anything, he'd feel proud, like he accomplished something. What if Aqua felt the same? Yet, surprises for the night were not over.

"Can you show me?"

"What? My, my thing?"

"Yes, your thing. Can you show me, so I know what's going on and it's not so awkward next time?"

Next time? What was this girl doing with him?! She was talking about next time as if it was a given! Taking a deep breath, Kazuma sat up and took his pants off. His dick has gone mostly soft and his thighs were covered with jizz. Not a pretty sight by any stretch, and yet Aqua seemed fascinated.

"Can I touch it?"

"Doesn't it gross you out?"

"What? Isn't this supposed to go inside of me anyway?"

"Y-yeah, but-"

"Can I touch it or not?"

Kazuma could only nod.

What happened next was a little embarrassing, but very hot. Aqua in her innocent curiosity explored everything, from squeezing his dick (which was quickly waking up again) to sniffing and even tasting a little drop of his cum on her finger. It all was making him dizzy, but in a good way.

"So, does this mean you can orgasm again?" Asked Aqua, taking his now hard cock in her hand and giving it another squeeze, which made Kazuma hiss in pleasure. He nodded.

"You can, ah, move your hand up and down. Not so hard! Slower, slower. Yeah, just like that."

This was one of those rare times Aqua seemed willing to follow his directions.

Somehow her hand felt a hundred times better than his own ever had. It wasn't long before he was coming a second time, this time with a loud groan and even jerking his hips a couple of times. Thankfully, the stable owner seemed out for the night.

Aqua wasn't over with torturing him, it seems. She licked her hand and hummed thoughtfully.

"This tastes weird, a little salty." She seemed to notice his wide-eyes stare, and got a little self-conscious. "Am I not supposed to do that?"

"No, no, it's fine!" Kazuma wasn't an idiot, so he was quick to assure her. "I heard some girls love to do this kind of stuff, you know." Actually, he had no idea if this was an actual thing or made up, but then again, neither did Aqua. She just nodded.

"Alright, but this much of it probably feels gross to you, right? Want me to use Purification?"

"Wait, you can?"

"Sure." And to prove it, Aqua simply touched her finger to his thigh again, and turned everything into pure water. It made their blanket wet, but felt much better than cum.

Aqua, meanwhile, was rubbing her thighs, and Kazuma gulped again, building up his courage.

"Do you, do you want me to help you too?"

"Help me with what?"

"To, um, to get an orgasm."

"Oh." Aqua seemed surprised at his suggestion. "Can you do that?"

"Yeah. Yeah, sure, I can!" Her complete lack of experience made him brave again. He tried to remember everything he ever read or seen on the topic. Then tried to rid his mind of the stuff which was obviously fake.

"Ok, take off your pants. Please." It didn't hurt to be polite, especially now.

Aqua shrugged, and removed her pajama bottoms.

Kazuma took a deep breath and got on his knees, leaning in. Aqua, taking his clue, leaned back on her elbows and got more comfortable on the haystack, watching his expectantly.

His first proper look at Aqua's pussy showed something both familiar and alien. Unlike what he had seen in porn, this one was covered by hair everywhere, not just at the top. They were blue, just like on Aqua's head, and very soft to the touch, much softer than his own coarse ones. There wasn't that much of it, and he could clearly see her lips, which were fleshy, but not too big, with little flaps of pink hanging at the bottom. Kazuma swallowed, his mouth suddenly dry. Aqua wiggled her hips, impatient for something to happen. This hardened his resolve.

His first attempt at a handjob was hardly better than Aqua's, but to be fair, girls were more complicated. Finding her clit wasn't so hard, even in the near darkness of the stable. Deciding what to do with it was another matter. The goddess quickly got into the process, which meant giving him commands every couple of seconds and loudly complaining if he did something uncomfortable.

Aqua was actually wet, which shouldn't have surprised him, with her being goddess of water and all. Of course, there wasn't actually a river running out of her snatch, more like clingy moisture which helped lubricate his fingers as they circled around her clit and sometimes dipped down to caress her lower lips. He knew enough not to attempt any penetration tonight. What he needed was to give Aqua pleasure, and a lot of it. Both to save his pride and to ensure that she'd want a repeat of this night soon. And well, also because he genuinely wanted to make Aqua feel good, especially after the ordeal she went through today.

In the end, he emerged victorious and got his first sight (and taste) of a girl's orgasm. It wasn't a pure holy miracle (though in this case, it technically could be considered as such), but neither was it something dirty to him. It mostly felt like satisfaction and sense of accomplishment, and even pleasure, which made him hard yet again.

But Aqua seemed tired already, not even in the mood for another purification spell, so Kazuma carefully wiped her with a spare clear rag they had lying around for emergencies, put both their pants back on and joined her under the sheets. The last thing he remembered was Aqua turning in his arms to press her face against his shoulder and throwing her leg over his. Even though this wasn't an unusual position for them, what happened tonight made it all the more special.
