~~~~~~~~~Conflicting Viewpoints then a Happy Reunion~~~~~~~~~
A week went bye since Cronus finally opened up to you about his past. And you and him were much closer on an emotional level. It was great~ Now you both had deeper conversations and felt closer in a big way, plus most of the initial shyness you'd both felt had practically vanished. But after you and Cronus spent all day, or night depending on how your time in your dreams was spent, you woke up in your bed with an uneasy feeling. These night visions of yours, it didn't feel right calling them mere dreams any longer, were becoming more and more elaborate. To the point where it unsettled you when you were awake. While you were in the 'dream bubbles' with Cronus you didn't have a care in the world. And you wondered if dreams like this have ever happened to other people. You supposed it was possible. No way it was just you.
And while you can admit to yourself that you really liked these dreams, not to mention the wonderful alien boy in them, you were also becoming worried. You'd slept in and ended up late to work for a week straight. Your boss had been livid and the only thing keeping you from being fired on the spot was your previously spotless record. Plus you told him that you'd just started taking some new medication and it was making you really sleepy. But you assured him that once your body was used to it then everything would return to normal. He cut you a break this time but said your job counted on it. You gulped at the memory. Damn your boss was scary when he needed to be.
But that night you stared sadly at your bed. You were tired and really wanted to go to sleep and see him. See your cute little Cronus. But you knew if you were late one more time this week you'd be fired. And you just couldn't afford to be out of a job. In this economy you were lucky to be employed at all. Though...deep in the back of your mind you were scared too. These kind of hyper realistic and lucid dreams weren't normal. At least you didn't think so. You decided to do some research into it. You prayed as you made your way over to your laptop that they were in fact a documented thing. Fear that they'd end up sucking you in to the point where you disconnected from reality kinda freaked you out. What if you got locked in a mental hospital?!
"Okay caaaalm down. Flipping the fuck out won't solve anything." You took a deep breath and pulled up Google before searching up 'lucid dreaming' and clicking the wikipedia article on it. After skimming the scientific history you found where it talked about time perception, which it said stayed the same as in the waking world. But that didn't match your lucid dreams. You'd spent an entire day with Cronus before. You swore it felt like a full 24 hours. But when you'd woken up you found you'd only slept 7 hours.
Trying to find answers was giving you a headache. So while you skimmed the rest of the page you tried massaging your temples. But neither the massage nor the wikipedia article were any help. You still had no clue if what was going on was normal. And your headache was now coming on strong. So with a whimper of agitation you decided looking online wasn't gonna help you and logged off. But you knew something that might help you. Back when you'd last gotten sick, almost a year prior actually, you'd taken some nasty liquid medicine that had konked you out flat. You didn't even remember falling asleep while on the stuff. So maybe if you took some now you could get a decent nights sleep.
The medicine basket that held the bottle of foul tasting liquid, as well as several other bottles and boxes of pills, was perched at the top of your hall closet. With a little effort you yanked it down. Narrowly managing to avoid spilling all the items on your face in the process. The bottle was easy to pick out. It was the only one with a dark blue label. So after checking that it won't kill you if taken in light doses you pour yourself one teaspoon of the cherry red stuff and gulp it down as fast as possible. It was just as gross as you remembered. You prayed it knocked you out soon like you hoped. But really there was only one way to find out. Hopping into bed you laid down and waited.
A light drowsy feeling hit you almost five minutes later and then nothing. Not nothing in the sense that the medicine didn't work; no. Nothing in the sense that after that sleepy feeling hit you then you were gone. The only thing you remember after feeling tired is waking up to your alarm clock beeping loudly. You rubbed the sleep from your eyes and grinned. You didn't remember dreaming last night! No 'dream bubbles', no crazy landscapes, no annoying 'trolls', no Cronus-...
"No Cronus..." You felt guilt build in your chest. But you did your best to shake the feeling off. He was just a figment of your suddenly overactive imagination. You had no reason to be feeling bad. But you felt like you just stood him up. And thinking of him waiting for you in vain made your heart hurt. But you pushed the thought away and decided this was for the best. So you shook any remaining feelings of guilt away then got ready for work. You had a full day ahead of you.
-
A couple weeks passed by with zero dreams thanks to your nightly spoon of medicine. But you noticed you were running low and only had a couple spoon fulls left. You told yourself you'd pick some up on your way home from work but over the course of the day you forgot all about the medicine. You made your way home, made some dinner and ate it in front of the tv, and watched a movie. But then you dosed off without taking anything to help with your dreams. So a few seconds after you fell asleep you awoke again, but not in your own bed. You sat up and looked around at the familiar bedroom. In the corner was the teal 're-cup-er-coon' filled with that green slime, a wall with a large tv situated in the middle with numerous shelves all around it that were filled with movies/books/and random stuff. And a desk littered with papers, each having half written lyrics on them, and a guitar sitting on its stand next to the desk chair. All in all a pretty average bedroom.
But you barely glanced at any of the stuff in the room in your search of Cronus. You had missed him terribly while you'd been in the real world. But there you could easily bottle up those feelings. Though all those feelings hurt ten times worse here in your dreams. So you got up to find him, and tell him you were sorry for being away for so long. And maybe tell him you were sorry. You looked in the bathroom, but it was empty. So you looked in the other rooms up on the second floor, but they were empty too. So he must be downstairs. You made your way silently down the stairs and went to the kitchen first since it was closer. The scent of freshly brewed tea hit you making you smile. Cronus loves tea so of course the place reeks of the boiled leaves. You turn from the room soon though and head into the living room. It was the last place you could look, not counting the closets, but you highly doubted he'd be in a closet of all places.
So you walked into the living room and looked around but didn't see him anywhere. You sighed and were about to go look for him outside when the pungent smell of cigarette smoke accosted your nose. You turned back to the living room and walked further in to see if you could tell where it was coming from. Had Cronus been smoking? But he never smokes, not for real anyways. He's always got one of the nasty things dangling from his lips but he never actually lights it. You looked over the back of the couch that was facing away from the living room door and there curled up on the couch next to a full ashtray was the troll you were looking for. You smiled brightly but the second you noticed how nappy his hair and clothes looked you started to frown. He looked miserable. And when he started coughing you flinched back. It sounded rough. A new smoker's cough.
"Cronus why'd you start smoking?" The troll yelped at the sudden sound of your voice and fell clean off the couch. He whipped his head up and stared at you in total shock. Like he was seeing a ghost, no joke intended. He choked on a sob before he jumped up and grabbed you and drug you over the couch and into a hug. He started laughing a sadly and you hugged him back. He looked so upset, but now that you think about it, of course he does. You avoided seeing him for almost two whole weeks. He must have been so lonely. You kissed his ear fin and said softly, "I'm so sorry I didn't see you for the last couple weeks Cronus. I just couldn't get myself to dream. I'd go to sleep and nothing happened. Please forgive me." He looked up at you in slight confusion before saying in a weak voice, "Vwhat? Babe you vwere gone for ovwer a month."
Your eyes widened in a shock and you cursed. You just remembered that time stretched on for longer here in this dream place. 24 hours here is only about 7 in the real world. So you being gone for a simple couple weeks equaled out to WAY longer to Cronus. God now you felt even shittier. "Oh god, I'm so, so sorry angel fish. I didn't know it had been that long! I had to take some medicine in the real world because...I was sick! Yeah I got a cold...but I'm better now!" You couldn't tell him you were scared of returning. That would no doubt break his heart. So to save him the heartbreak you fibbed a little. "Yeah it wasn't fun taking that nasty medicine but it was worth it because I'm better now and I get to see you again!" You gave him a shy smile which he returned in full. He laughed and hugged you tight, "Horror terrors abowve I missed you so badly." You still felt kinda bad so you kissed him fully and passionately.
He took no time to think about it before he kissed you back with fervor. He fell back on the couch with you on top of him, just kissing lazily. But eventually you broke apart to catch your breath. Well you had to, he was fine air wise what with the gills and all. But once your breathing was back to normal you grinned cheekily. "You need a bath Cro~ You stink." He pouted and whined, "Hey don't be mean the second you get back! And gimme a break babe, I wvas too ovwercome wvith sadness to bathe." You laughed when he rubbed his cheek against your own. He was such a needy ham. But he was a cute needy ham. And he was your needy ham~
"Come on you massive dork. We can take a bath together. I'll even wash your filthy hair." He picked you up making you yelp in shock. Damn he lifted you like you were a loaf of bread! You blushed as he carried you to the bathroom like a princess. He grinned down at your flushed face and you sighed. He sure could charm a girl when he wasn't actively trying or stank of smoke. Which reminded you, "Cronus I don't wanna see you smoking anymore. That junk makes you taste like ash and you'll get no more kisses if you keep it up." He nodded and replied, "That sounds fair I guess. I just started a couple vweeks into your long sleep because I didn't hawve anything better to do vwith my time. But novw you're back so I don't gotta smoke! They burn my gills and taste gross anyvways."
With that taken care of you ran some warm water and dropped in some bubble bath. Then you both stripped and hopped in. You washed his hair first and smiled when he did that weird sea troll purr. Then you drained the dirty water and ran some fresh water. Then you both just laid in the tub, you straddling him, too content to do much else. You shifted a bit and rubbed your wet body against his own. You felt heat pool in your belly. And you wondered if Cronus wanted to maybe go further than just second base tonight. Not feeling shy you just straight up asked him, "Hey Cronus, you wanna have sex?"
He choked on his spit before weakly croaking out a yes. You laughed and Cronus kissed you before he had a chance to make an even bigger fool of himself. He was not gonna ruin this. You ground your hips down against his making him groan and grab your ass. You continued to grind yourself on him but gasped when you felt something wiggling against your lips. You reached down and was surprised to feel a smooth tentacle like appendage where Cronus' penis would be were he a human. You stroked it once and glanced up when Cronus chirped. He looked away from your smirking face but moaned when you began pumping it slowly. You looked back down and tried to observe the wiggling thing through the water.
The first thing you noticed was that it was a pinkish purple color and moving on its own. You could feel the whole thing was thicker at the base and then gradually thinned out until it got to the tip. Which was a little pointed bulb that looked like a Christmas tree light. You ran your fingers over the length of it and blinked when you felt a line of soft fins that ran from the tip to the base. It was on top and you wondered what the fins would feel like raking along your inner walls. You blushed and vowed to find out. Thank god you were up to try anything at least once or this whole alien boy thing might not work. You felt further down and discovered inch long bendable spikes at the base of his member. They circled around the base and Cronus made a growling noise when you rubbed them. You hummed happily when he started licking and sucking the crook of your neck.
His clawed hands were gripping your hips tight. You gasped when he bucked up into you. His bulge moved on its own and the finned top side rubbed over your lower lips eagerly. You bit your lip and moaned, "Ooookay that's enough exploration. I think it's time to move on to the next part." Cronus nodded wordlessly and nipped your neck with his sharp teeth. You yelped more from shock than any real pain. But you took that as your cue to finally get the show on the road. But you wondered what you could use for lubricant. That sort of solved itself because when you pumped his bulge you noticed at some point it got very slippery, almost like it was covered in lube already. Your lust fogged mind decided that was good enough so you gripped the writhing appendage and directed the tip into your opening.
A small sound of pleasure escaped you as the pointed tip pushed past your opening. You lowered yourself a couple inches before rising back off almost all the way. Cronus growled impatiently making you give a breathless laugh. He bucked up into you and you yelped. Groaning you lowered further down, taking him most of the way in. Your breath came in pants as you rotated your hips to help you adjust. Finally you didn't feel anymore discomfort, so you started moving up and down at a slow tempo. You increased your pace and moaned when Cronus started pushing up to meet your thrusts. God you just wanted to finish. But you didn't think this position through all the way. Your thighs were already starting to get tired, so you nipped the sea dweller's ear fin before pulling completely away from his cool body.
He looked surprised but slowly that surprise turned into disbelief. "Vwha-? Oh come on! You're not just gonna leavwe-" But before he could finish complaining you leaned back against the opposite end of the tub and spread your legs open in an all too welcoming gesture. His jaw clicked closed and you licked your lips. "Well? I'm waiting sugar~" No more encouragement was necessary for the sea dweller. He crawled forward and kissed your throat before lining himself up and pressing forward. You mewled and wrapped your legs around his waist as he set a quick pace. You gripped the lip of the tub on either side of you and held on as he fucked you against the side of the bathing apparatus. You grit your teeth, the hot feeling in your belly began spreading to your limbs. "Oh god I'm close Cro~"
With a grunt he sped up until he was banging you against the rim of the tub. The cooling water of the bath was sloshing out of the tub with each thrust, though neither of you was too worried about it. Your breathing was uneven and you tightened your legs around his hips as you came with a cry of bliss. Your arms shook as fatigue started to settle into your bones. But Cronus was still plowing away at your abused center, almost relentlessly. You whined and gripped is horns to stay up and gasped when he bucked hard into you a couple more times then flooded you with his bright colored fluid. Now out of energy himself he slumped against you. You both sank down into the violet tinged water and focused on catching your breath. After almost ten minutes of laying there you yawned and said, "Okay I'm starting to prune, so we gotta move."
He pouted and hugged you and said with a touch of uncertainty, "You're not gonna disappear for a long time right?" That suffocating guilt from before returned and you rubbed his back. "No way, I'd miss you way too much. But what say we take a nap and then go out and explore the bubbles for fun? I love this place, it's so beautiful. Maybe we can even have a picnic date or something." Cronus grinned up at you. His fins wiggled slightly from his happy mood and you giggled. "You're cute~ But come on. My back is starting to hurt from being hammered against this hard ass tub ledge." Cronus waggled his eyebrows and said cheekily, "Sorry 'bout that kitten. Didn't mean ta be so rough vwith ya~" You snorted and pushed his face away playfully. You both laughed and got out of the tub, not even bothering to dry off before falling into bed together. Mentally you promised not to leave him for so long again. He looked so broken that you didn't think his heart could take any more.
