"Jack! Jack!"
"Jack!"
Jack's eyes shot open. "H-huh, what? What is it? W-what's wrong?" Slowly he started to wake up more from his scare, his eyes landing on Ashi, who still was sitting in his lap from the night before.
Ashi was starring at him with wide eyes, her gaze resting on him. "...It's... morning." Jack frowned, rubbing the back of his neck as he looked out the window. He must of fallen asleep. "You passed out around midnight." She murmured quietly, looking up at him. Jack could easily tell just from the look of her that she had not gone to sleep like he had. Her eyes look more dark and tired than they had the other day. "I apologize." He murmured.
Ashi shook her head, "You needed your sleep." "As do you." Ashi didn't reply to his remark, she just starred down at the covers, her body would tremble now and again. Jack sighed.
There was no way she was going to get better if she kept staying up like this. All he could hope for is she passed out from tiredness eventually.
Jack sat up a bit, making Ashi slid from his lap and onto his bed. She stretched her body before letting out a massive yawn. She rubbed her eyes, making Jack sigh.
She really needed to sleep. Not sleeping wasn't helping anyone.
Ashi slowly slid to the edge of the bed, before glancing at Jack. "So...do you have any friends here?" She asked quietly, looking around. Jack blinked, "I do have the comrades I found while I was training as a child." He murmured, smiling a bit before blinking. "But- they're all around the world, doing their own things. They were there for our wedding." Ashi nodded slowly, remembering all the faces there.
"What about people like your friends from..."She trailed off, looking at Jack.
He blinked a few times, his eyes wide. "...No, I..." He trailed off as well, glancing at the floor. He hasn't really thought about them since coming back. He looked around. This room suddenly felt very...empty.
Ashi noticed the change in attitude so she gently rubbed his arm with her hand. She slowly climbed into his lap, wrapping her arms around his neck and gently gripping his hair. It was down and against his shoulders, so Ashi was able to grip it nicely with her fingers. She looked into his eyes, tilting her head some and kissing his lips. Jack kissed her back slowly, but stayed silent and thoughtful.
Ashi bit Jack's bottom lip, tugging it gently before letting go. That got his attention. He looked down at her, his eyes softening as he scoffed. "What are you doing?" He asked softly. Ashi shrugged, "Mm, teasing you." She cooed softly, leaning her head on him and yawning. Her eyes drifted and slid shut, before she cracked them back open again.
Jack sighed, running his hand in her hair. He looked at the window, the sun was bright in the sky; almost blinding him if he looked directly at it. Jack glanced down back at Ashi. He blinked in surprise when he heard a tiny snore.
Jack smiled slowly, resting his head on Ashi.
She finally fell asleep.
Jack sighed in relief, leaning back against the bed as he let Ashi sleep on top of him.
Jack slid Ashi off of him, he put a blanket on top of her and tucked her in. Jack decided he wouldn't leave the room, mainly in fear that Ashi would wake up and freak out if he was not in the room.
He sat in a chair in front of the window, his gaze starring up at the sky in silence.
Ashi actually slept for the entire day; she only woke up when the moon was shining bright in the sky. It was a full moon tonight. She grunted, rubbing her eyes before gasping in sudden realization for what she had done. "Ja-" She trailed off when she saw him sitting by the window. She felt better than she had the past few days, now that she had actually slept. She slowly moved to the edge of the bed. "Jack?" She murmured, but he didn't respond.
Ashi took it in herself to get up, which was a lot harder with just herself. Her legs were still jelly like. She was able to fall against the wall, and used that to slowly make her way to Jack. She half crawled, half collapsed, into his lap. That was enough to rouse Jack up, and he blinked a few times before looking down at Ashi. "A-ashi?" He muttered.
Ashi wrapped her arms around his neck, letting out a weak huff of a reply. Jack frowned, watching her for a minute before pulling her closer to him. "...Is it strange, that I miss the future sometimes?" He whispered quietly.
That surprised Ashi a bit, she starred at him quietly. "...I miss...the friends I made." He murmured, "And...it feels strange- not having to fight everyday. I-i.. I know that sounds selfish." He let out a small laugh, his eyes saddening. "But...I miss it. Sometimes. I'm happy to be here. It's just..." Ashi put a finger to his lips, frowning some. "Shh, It's okay Jack. I understand." She murmured.
Jack blinked, "You do?" Ashi nodded, "I've never had a die in my life where I wasn't fighting, up until now. But...I like it too. I'm happy because. I'm with you." She replied softly. Jack's eyes softened, and a small smile formed on his face.
The two lovingly starred into each others eyes for a moment, before the both of them leaned in and pressed their lips together.
The kiss started off slowly, just their lips softly brushing up against each other, until slowly it became more heated. Ashi moved behind Jack's head to unclip his hair, allowing it to fall down against his shoulders. She gripped his hair in her hand, pulling herself up more to kiss Jack. The two only really pulled away to have a second to breath, but then they would go right back to making out. Ashi let out a tiny little moan when Jack gently brushed his tongue along her bottom lip. She parted her lips in return.
Jack and Ashi began to french kiss, their tongues brushed against each other and Ashi began to even make more little noises; which was setting off Jack even more. He gently gripped her waist, tilting his head a bit for a better angle.
Ashi pulled away for a second to breath, her eyes cracked open to see Jack with his lips parted and his face flushed, his own eyes were cracked open as well. The two starred at each other for a minute before going back and kissing. This time Ashi grabbed Jack's hands, moving them slowly to her chest. Jack froze, but Ashi quickly reassured him. "It's okay." She breathed quietly.
Jack glanced up at her before slowly placing his hands against her breasts. Ashi pulled back a tiny bit to let out a soft breath. Jack began to slowly grope her, his movements slow at first since he's never done something like this, but the heat of the moment was taking over for him. Ashi moaned out quietly, "J-jack.." She whispered in a begging voice, moving back in and kissing his lips again.
"That...f-feels nice." She whispered encouragingly to Jack when they pulled away again, but right after those words were said the two went right back to their make out session.
Ashi decided to trail her kisses down to Jack's neck, nipping and kissing the skin there. She made sure not to leave any marks though; it would be a rather embarrassing time if his parents found them with marks all over each other or something of the sort.
Jack let out a small quiet moan when she nipped his neck, which made Ashi shiver. She loved the sound of his voice like that. "J-jack!" She gasped out when Jack's hands went inside her robe, groping her breasts alone. She let out a loud gasp, her back arching into the touch as the top of her robe slid down, leaving her chest and shoulders visible. "J-jack.." She whispered, letting out another tiny moan as Jack sat more into the chair. He looked at Ashi, his eyes lidded and lips still parted as he watched her.
The two of them continued to stare at each other silently as Jack touched her breasts, his eyes looked down before shifting away. Ashi shook her head. "Look...you can look.." She trailed off shakily. Jack slowly nodded, his eyes shifting down to watch his hands touch his wife's breasts. Ashi pushed herself against his hands, letting out a tiny little breath.
"I...I like...you like this." Jack admitted in a tiny whisper. "I like when you get me like this." Ashi cooed in reply, "..and I like seeing you like this too." She murmured, moaning quietly when Jack began to grope her again. "M-mm, Jack.." She whispered.
Jack looked up at her. "We are not going further than this, Ashi." He said shakily after a moment, making Ashi let out a tiny whine.
"W-why?" She whispered, pressing her hips against his. She could feel him, she could feel him and she wanted more.
"I want you to be strong...our first time. I don't want you to feel exhausted throughout the whole thing." He whispered. Ashi only let out a tiny whine, her eyes looking at him pleadingly. Jack chuckled softly, "Don't give me that look." He groped her again, making her whine turn into a small gasp.
The two kept kissing for a few more moments until suddenly there was a knock on the door.
"Jack? May I come in?" A voice called. It was his mother. Jack and Ashi quickly pulled away from each other, Ashi pulled her robe up and snuggled into Jack, her eyes shutting and burying her face against his chest. Jack wrapped his arms around her waist. "..Y-yes! Come in." He said, grunting to steady his voice.
The door slowly opened and Jack's door. His mother walked to them, before giving a small smile. "Oh good, she's sleeping. I was getting worried about her."
Jack glanced down at Ashi, he knew she wasn't asleep, but she did pull off a good show. "...Yes, it took her a few days but I think her body is allowing itself to heal.' He murmured, rubbing her back gently. His mother smiled, looking down at her. "I'm glad to have her back. " She said, "The reason I wanted to talk to you was because there's a festival in a few days. I think maybe you and Ashi should go- if she's able to use her own legs by then." She said. "It'd be good to get out and put your mind to something else." She murmured quietly, looking out the window.
Jack blinked, slowly nodding. "That sounds like a wonderful idea." He said quietly. "I know the future must of changed you." His mother replied, "But I want you to know you've never lost your place here, and you don't know how proud I am of you." Jack smiled when she kissed his forehead.
"Now, get some sleep. I know you and your sleeping habits. You should take after your wife and actually sleep for once." She teased gently, going to the door.
"Goodnight." She murmured softly.
"Goodnight, Mother." Jack replied as she shut the door.
After the door shut, Ashi began to giggle, her body trembling as Jack gently hit her shoulder. "You are lucky it's dark enough in here where she couldn't see my face!" He snapped, Ashi sat up, laughing a bit more. "O-oh, yes. She would of known for sure. Especially with how bad your neck is..." She whispered. "M-my neck?! What's wrong with my neck?!" Jack let go of Ashi to clasp his hands on his neck, which only made Ashi laugh more.
"I'm kidding! I'm kidding. Calm down." She cooed, "Do you promise you are kidding?! If I have marks on my neck I don't know what I'm going to do-" "I'm kidding, Jack!" Ashi said, laughing a bit and gently nuzzling her forehead against his. "I promise." She whispered.
After a moment Ashi let out a sigh. "So- a festival?" Jack nodded, "It seems like a good idea. We could have something to do then, at least." Ashi slowly nodded. "...As long as there are no foods where your head turns into a fish, I'll come.' She murmured quietly. Jack chuckled, "There's nothing like that here."
Ashi nodded, "Alright then. I guess that gives me a few days to get steady on my feet." Ashi slid off of Jack, slowly standing up on her own- with the help of the wall. Jack quickly got up and grabbed her hands, holding her steady as she smiled up at him.
She walked slowly towards him, huffing out. "Soon I'll be strong enough to nearly kill you again, like how we first met~" She teased, making Jack shiver. "N-not that strong." He laughed softly as Ashi made another step towards him. "Oh?" She mused, before grinning.
"Die, Die! Why won't you die!" She mocked herself, leaning on him. "Scum, Aku will be triumphant!" Jack rolled his eyes as she went through her monologue she gave him when they first encountered each other with her being captured, "Long live the glory of Aku!" She finished, giggling out as Jack chuckled, gently holding her against him. "You...are very troubled." He replied back, making her grin as she looked up at him.
Jack picked her up and settled her on the bed. "We will walk more tomorrow, for now we both need sleep." He said, climbing into bed as Ashi snuggled into him. For once she didn't seem to be trying to stay awake now. "Yes, you heard your mother, you should do as I do~" She cooed. Jack scoffed, "You're sleeping habits are just as bad as mine." He cooed, glancing at Ashi to see that she had already began to drift off.
Jack sighed, this will be the first night since a long time that he's gotten to sleep by her side. He leaned his head onto her, letting the darkness drift over him and allow him to sleep.
