"So let me get this straight" Vert put a finger against her cheek "After Neptune threw you away; you went over the mountains and landed in a unmarked sacred grove where you met a Druid named Caroline Birch and a tree that could talk"
"Yup" I nodded, sprawled out across a bean bag. Neptune sprawled out on top of me and Plutia on her.
"You decided to believe them about a prophecy and you met your robot Foxhound and you proceeded to fight Annonydeath and drain the poison from the forest" She continued.
"Yup and Foxhound is a he. He finally decided on his gender and the author is delighted" I replied winking at Neptune. I felt something shift under my head, propping it up so I looked above it to see a blushing Noire trying her best not to look too nervous and happy. My head was resting in her lap now, this is both cute and funny as I'm pretty sure Vert is getting annoyed at the amount of attention I'm getting from everyone.
"You looked like you needed something to prop your head up and I didn't want your neck to hurt" Noire exclaimed before I spoke "I'm not doing this because I wanted to!"
"You're so adorable I could kiss you" I winked at her causing her cheeks to flare up even more. I think there might be steam coming from her head..
"And now Nepgear is creating a new body for Foxhound and Plutia just arrived telling us that the others will arrive tomorrow?" Vert almost growled to get our attention. "Did I miss anything out?"
"Yeah that you're extremely jealous of the attention I'm getting" I smirked.
This caused her to snort in frustration and shake her head before pulling out a small handheld device and playing games on it.
"Noire you should kiss him" Neptune spoke up, looking up at Noire. "You'd like it"
"And I assume you have already Neptune?" Noire snorted looking away but I think she is thinking / daydreaming about that now.
"Yeah I have" Neptune replied honestly.
"What!?" Noire almost squeaked.
"I promised I would more than a few chapters ago. You should read this story more" Neptune sighed.
"What? Never mind" Noire replied shaking her head.
"You promised Sadie that you would" Neptune grinned as Plutia perked up hearing this. She had been half asleep before now which was adorable, she's like a duckling trying to not fall asleep but slowly does it anyway.
"Yeah you did" Plutia spoke up in her usual slow tone of voice. "Do it now Noire!"
"But-!" Noire's face was going into meltdown mode. I bet she was having trouble deciding if she should be honest or tsundere at this moment.
"Noire.. Please?" Plutia replied, while her tone of voice was as sweet as rich Christmas pudding (least I think Christmas pudding is sweet. I've never had it one if you will have to tell me if it is) her eyes had a hard edge to them, leaving no room for debate. What Sadie wanted she got.
"You'll have to come down to me Noire I can't really move" I spoke up so they remembered I'm down here.
"What? I mean... You're fine with this?" Noire's face somehow went from red to pink now. She should really look into that in case it's the symptoms for something serious as I'm pretty sure no-one should blush this much.
"Yup. We were going to kiss eventually so why not now? You'll probably make Neptune slightly jealous too" I replied with a smile, wincing slightly as I felt a knee jam itself into me.
"O-ok" she muttered shifting back slightly before she slowly bend down to me.
It felt agonisingly slow, it is kinda shocking how much I (and the Author) wanted this to happen and here it was about to happen. She slowly brushed some of her hair out of her face as her eyes gradually closed.
I managed to prop myself up and push myself up to meet her and soon enough our lips connected.
Kissing Noire was drastically different than Neptune. While Neptune felt like fireworks were going off and my mind was going at Mach three, Noire was the polar opposite. It was like slow jazz was playing and I felt like I was sitting beside the sea, I felt at peace and calm. Like I didn't have a single care in the world.
Slowly she pulled away and she looked shocked and embarrassed which caused me to grin.
"It's a hell of a lot better than daydreaming huh?" I chuckled as she nodded in a daze before she seemed to hear what I said properly and hid her face behind her hands.
"Happy now Plutia?" I looked down at the two girls on my chest. While Neptune looked slightly jealous Plutia looked pleased. I think. I can never tell with her.
"Yes I am" she replied shifting slightly. "But I need to do something"
She quickly leant forward and I only had enough time to register what she planned on doing before her lips pushed against mine roughly.
Now I'm pretty sure this is a shock to you guys, girls and Apache attack helicopters as this is a pretty big shock for me. This love triangle may of just turned into a rectangle. Or something. A shape of some form. Yeah something like that. You get the idea.
Now Plutia wasn't like Neptune or Noire. No Plutia was like a burning fire. Everything about her was hot (take that as you will) and it burned through my system.
She pulled back and settled back on a very shocked Neptune. The whole room was silent. Very had stopped playing her games and was nearly gawking at us. I could just see Blanc and the two hats of Rom and Ram beside her and the expression on Blanc's face could probably be copied onto their faces too; Noire was probably in the same state as everyone else including myself. Plutia just smiled.
"Well that was unexpected" I managed to say. "Good but unexpected"
"You can say that again Neppu" Neptune mumbled
"Well that was unexpected" I grinned as Neptune cast a look of annoyance my way "Good but unexpected"
"You did that because I did that a long time ago" She puffed her cheeks out
"Revenge is sweet" I grinned.
"So when did Tom start getting three goddesses wanting him?" Ram spoke up "Because I missed that part!"
"Ram I'm pretty sure you just spoke the question on the minds off all the readers" I replied "Mine too"
"It wasn't fair that Noire and Neppy got to kiss you" Plutia puffed out her cheeks
"Fair enough" I shrugged "This is a chapter for us just chilling as the Author doesn't want this story to be too focused on combat instead of humour"
"Psst Tom you probably weren't supposed to tell them that" Neptune whispered poking me in the ribs.
"Meh if he didn't want them to know that he wouldn't of allowed me to break the 4th wall" I replied poking her cheek in return.
"Well I'm not sure how you've done it" Vert chuckled "but good luck. Having three goddesses going for one person probably won't end well"
"Probably but I'm gonna give it a try anyway" I replied "and don't worry Vert we will find someone who will go for you. Beside IF I mean"
Vert just groaned but her cheeks had flared up slightly so I knew I had probably hit the nail on the head.
So while I'm laying here being squashed, pampered, loved, maybe still hated by Ram and slowly falling asleep from how warm it is maybe I should do a time skip.
Probably best.
-The next morning-
Right who here owns a cat? You when they settle on you that the only way to get them off is with a crowbar? Yeah that's my morning right now.
Turns out Plutia is the type of girl who likes cuddling in her sleep and she seriously can't tell the difference between her room and my room when she's only 1% awake.
So I woke up with her clamped into my arm and refusing to let go.
"Plutia" I whispered in her ear trying to get her to wake up.
No response from sleeping beauty.
"Plutia it's morning let go!" I whispered again, poking her cheek.
A soft mumble emitted from her then she fell back asleep after tightening her grip.
"Plutia you're stopping the blood reaching my arms. Your giving me pins and needles here so let go!" I whisper shouted shaking my arm slightly.
But she still refused to let go.
Holding in a growl of frustration I got up and shook her a bit to try and dislodge her that way but she still wouldn't budge.
"Okay sod it" I muttered taking a moment to form a white with purple tips crowbar before sliding it underneath her. "If you don't get off I will prise you off"
With no retort I started applying pressure, managing to lift her slightly off my arm which resulted in a groan of annoyance and trying to get back to my arm.
This turned into an battle of endurance, my strength, want to put a shirt on and will to no longer have pins and needles in my arm against her want to cuddle with me and need for a pillow.
In the end she woke up and looked at me with one half asleep eye.
"What are you doing in my room Tom Tom?" She murmured squinting at me.
"You're in my room" I replied. "And Tom Tom? Really?"
"Oh sorry" she let for of my arm and dropped onto the floor. "Your arm is comfortable"
"I noticed" I replied before moving over to a small draw that held what few shirts I owned and taking out a green one.
"Aww" I heard Plutia complain
"No free shows" I grinned poking her nose "Anyway you should go make yourself presentable. The girls from your world are arriving today"
"Oh yeah" Plutia replied and with a slow nod and wave goodbye she left.
"That girl can be so weird sometimes" I muttered giving myself a quick look over. "But I think that's the pot calling the kettle black. I'm not exactly 100% sane myself"
Stepping out of my room I headed in the direction of Nepgear's not so secret anymore workshop. I needed to check up on Foxhound and work on the armour I've inherited; colour change was required. What? It's gotta have my trademark colours on it.
Reaching the elevator I reached down and pressed the hidden button close to the floor of the small box and the doors closed and whisked me off, for some reason the elevator seems to go faster heading towards the workshop than just going up and down the Basilacom. Might need to talk to Nepgear about that when she isn't busy with something.
As the elevator slowed to the stop the doors opened with that cursed ding and I stepped out slowly taking in the workshop now that I don't have Neptune with me.
Nepgear definitely spends a lot of time in here; there were various food and drink machines scattered about the place with just as many bins and unfinished projects scattered about too. In the far corner, under a small lamp, a white board was propped up against the wall.
"I'll assume that's her writing corner she goes to whenever she needs to come up with ideas" I chuckled, moving around the corner where Foxhound's new chassis was being built.
Taking in the giant robot, which had been barely touched since we arrived, I noticed Nepgear working on something close by, it looked too small to be part of the Titan so it definitely sparked my curiosity.
"Hey Nepgear!" I shouted to get her attention. Adding a few waves too.
"A-Ah hello Tom!" She turned surprised "you are surprisingly quiet when you want to be"
"You've got your head stuck in whatever you're building that's all" I replied walking over. Getting a closer look at the object she was working on it was clear it was some form of robotic but I couldn't make out what it was. "What is that?"
"A design from Foxhound. He thought it would be best if he could accompany you on foot if he couldn't fit in with his new body" Nepgear grinned, a hint of the mad scientist leaking through.
"Oh? Does it work yet?" I asked now really excited to see it in action.
"I don't know. Not sure if it is ready to work yet" She replied apologetically.
"Correction: It is ready" Foxhound's voice spoke up causing us both to look up at the now active Titan.
"Heya buddy were you evesdropping on us?" I shouted up at him smiling.
"Affirmative; I thought I would be allowed as you are talking about part of myself" Foxhound replied.
"True true" I replied "Well Nepgear you heard the giant robot of death let's see it in action"
"Okay. Foxie don't push the body too much. It still might need some additions" Nepgear replied before turning and messing around with a few wires.
"Foxie?" I grinned looking up at him.
"I wanted a nickname" He replied.
"Ah your personality has broken through!" I exclaimed throwing my arms up.
"Bad habit acting like a my less advanced brothers and sisters" Foxie replied. (Yes he shall be known as that from now on)
"Right it's ready for transferral" Nepgear spoke up standing beside me. She only just reached my shoulder height.
"Affirmative, transferring to Foxhound unit 02" He replied before the lights on his optics faded to a dull blue instead of the bright blue that usually shone out from there.
After a moment the robot body gave a quick shudder before it slowly stood up on the metal table, slowly stretching out its limbs before what I can assume was a metal visor split open revealing two slanted purple eyes.
"I'm sorry is that Blade wolf?" I gawped looking as Foxie's new body climbed down from the table.
"Affirmative. I thought this form would be best to use to assist you on foot" Foxie replied.
"Can't disagree with that" I chuckled "I always wanted a dog"
"Well that's good" Nepgear sighed "making this took a lot of effort"
"I would think so in the short time we've been back" I replied
"This body does still need a few more upgrades to it before it can leave this workshop" Foxie spoke up after sitting on his haunches.
"That is true but hopefully that won't take too long" I replied. "Nepgear have you taken a moment to sleep at all?"
The reason I asked that is because Nepgear at that moment had slowly fallen asleep standing up.
"She hasn't" Foxie answered for me "She's been working on this body since we got here"
"Brilliant" I muttered picking her up and sitting her in a nearby chair "hopefully she won't be in too much pain when she wakes up"
"Indeed" Foxie replied "I assume you didn't come down just to check up on the both of us?"
"My dear robot dog of pure awesome you are correct" I chuckled turning and petting his head as I moved in the direction of the corner I have stolen in her workshop. It's where I had left my armour after we had returned and gotten settled down.
"So what's the plan?" I heard Foxie ask from behind me as I laid the individual pieces out on a nearby table.
"Colour changing. Have to put my trademark colours on this"
"White and purple?"
"Yup, shows my support for both Black Heart and Purple Heart"
"Why not black and purple? Black Heart and Purple Heart"
"That would be logical but the thing is Purple Heart has black and purple clothing while Black Heart just has black clothing but white hair"
"So you are going by hair colour?"
"Bingo, makes it obvious that I'm supporting them that way"
"And your dual swords?"
There was a brief pause in the conversation as I opened a box to find various spray cans and looked for the colours I needed.
"Well one sword represents Planeptune and the other represents Lastation"
"So you show your equal support to them both?"
"Yup. Without either of them I might not be here right now"
Quickly going over the armour with the white spray can it left it all with a shiny white coating, the blue visor being the only different colour left on it.
"Is there a way to change the colour of that visor?" I looked down at Foxie as he was sat watching what I was doing on the table.
"Yes but you'll need to have the helmet on your head first" He replied.
"Fair enough" I replied leaving the armour to dry "So what about you? Happy with that colour or would you prefer a change in colour?"
"This colour suits me fine" Foxie replied, his tail swaying gently.
"Once again fair enough" I shrugged before remembering that the girls from Plutia's dimension should be arriving soon. "Want to come out of the workshop with me? We gotta meet Plutia's girls and I'm sure they'll be interested in you more than me"
"Sure I'll accompany you Pilot" Foxie nodded and we both made our way over to the elevator, Foxie had to sit down and wrap his tail around himself to actually fit. Hey no calling my new dog fat!
