A Day to Ourselves.

After the previous few days, Koharu felt that their bed was by far and away the best place to be spending time. The bed was comfortable, warm, and above all else, safe - the most important thing for her right now. Enough had happened that she needed that lie in, she thought to herself as she realised she was almost draped over her boyfriend as she'd slept... not that he'd noticed that, he was still out cold after last night.

Honestly, she thought to herself, if he didn't stop pushing himself like that, there was going to be a day when their luck ran out and she really didn't want to find out just how wrong things could go. Still, it was going to be a nice quiet day - Rain was helping out at the orphanage and Phillia had told her she was going out with the Black Cats for a quest, which just left them alone in their lodgings. Considering how things had ended at the lake, she wasn't too sure how things would go without anyone else there. It was a very personal issue in their relationship, namely how intimate they were... or more precisely, how intimate they weren't, and she wasn't really sure she wanted anyone else present for the inevitable conversation that would come from it.

She knew he hadn't meant anything by his actions at the lake and that he was probably unprepared for anything like that, but it had kind of hurt a little bit, feeling like she wasn't attractive enough. Luckily for her, that train of thought was disrupted as Jet began to wake up besides her.

"Morning!" She chirped.

"(Yawn) What time is it?" He asked, only barely audible over the rustle of the covers and their clothes.

"About 11:30." She answered without a pause, before checking her HUD. "11:34 to be exact."

''Only barely morning then.'' He muttered, making an effort to sit up. ''Isn't everyone else going to be annoyed that we're slacking off?''

''Remember what Asuna ordered you to do yesterday?'' An eyebrow raised as he tried to rack his brain for Asuna's orders, before remembering the orders to stay and rest. He rolled his eyes, invariably bemoaning her under his breath, but continued to sit there, rather than get up. ''Besides, after the past few days, you aren't the only one who needed a little break, we all kind of did...'' Koharu trailed off, trying her damnedest not to think of the scenes they'd been subjected to in the laboratory. That place had contained the stuff of nightmares, and she had no doubts that none of them would forget that any time soon. That wasn't what she was worried about, if she was honest with herself - she was more concerned about him becoming lionized by what they'd seen, and she knew that she would need to temper that attitude sometimes. A rest and relaxation day today was the best thing for both of them, she thought to herself. ''Enough about that though! How did you sleep?'' She changed the subject as quickly as she could.

"Better than I have for a while, I think." He rubbed his eyes, wiping the virtual sleep from them. "How long was I out for, anyway?"

"Twelve hours, give or take. You kind of just passed out when we sat down, so I had to carry you to bed." She couldn't help but giggle slightly at that thought - bridal carrying the comatose Knight of the Wind to bed.

What had started as the faintest trace of red soon became the primary colour on his face, as Jet wrapped his head around that piece of information, before a soft smile came over his face. ''I really do have the most fantastic girlfriend ever, don't I?''

On the other hand, she didn't even need a mirror to know just how red she'd gone, being able to feel the heat radiating from her face. "R-really? You-" She stammered, trying to hide how flustered she was... "You shouldn't say things like that in public!" Though she really wished she'd thought that one through a little bit more! That didn't even make sense given they were in their bedroom!

An amused look took over from his grin. "We're not in public, so I think I'm fine there. Besides, it's the truth."

A mischievous thought popped into her head, and she sat next to her boyfriend. "Well, if we aren't in public, I can do this!" Without any hesitation, she leant over, drawing them both into a kiss. Despite the sudden change to the conversation, she felt him returning the embrace, his arms wrapped tightly around her waist as they swayed to one side, and fell back onto the bed.

Despite both suppressing giggling fits at the clumsy way they'd fell back, the kissing continued uninterrupted, hands wandering somewhat from both parties.

Eventually though, the pair separated from their make out session, and she noticed him looking her over with a somewhat strange look, almost as of he was trying to make sense of something.

"Random question, but..." He paused, a somewhat pensive look taking over. "Are you wearing my pyjamas?"

Koharu looked down at her night clothes. A black button up top with thin white embroidery around it, and a pair of shorts in an identical style. She hadn't actually noticed that they were his, but the more she looked at them, the more she could see it... and an idea formed in her head.

A teasing smirk came over her as she looked to her boyfriend... "Say, you seem quite interested in my clothes..." She popped open a button on her shirt. "Could it be that you want to see what's underneath them? Maybe I can show you..." She teased.

"I-uhh-no! Well..." Jet stuttered, watching as her shirt began to come unbuttoned. If he was trying to look innocent, and not as if he were waiting in anticipation for the sight of her topless, he was doing a particularly rubbish job of it. Her shirt came unbuttoned, and with little hesitation the shirt and her shorts were thrown off and left in a huddle on the floor, her frilly white underwear now her outerwear. It was now that her sense of dignity decided to resurface again, and she felt a hot flush as Jet looked towards her. "Ko... fuck it." He started to protest, before deciding that she wasn't the only hormonal teenager in the room, and she watched as he threw off his trousers to the bottom of the bed, and started to pull his shirt over his shoulders.

Koharu would admit freely that she knew her boyfriend was quite fit; a fact that she was fairly sure came from the amount of exercise they had to do in Aincrad, but this was the first time in... actually, just the first time that she'd actually seen her boyfriend without a shirt, in decent lighting.

She quite liked what she saw, and the lustful grin on her face as they came face to face, told him that much too.

"You sure about this? Can always-"

"Yeah, I'm sure." She stated, placing her lips on his, before they separated briefly. She let a small and scheming smirk come to her face. "Besides, we don't know when we'll get a whole day to ourselves, right? We should make the most of it!"

As they continued to kiss, she felt her boyfriend's hands beginning to wander, one hand on her rear end, with the other on her back. "My bra..." She gasped between passionate kisses, and hitched breathing from her boyfriend's hands on her butt.

"On it." With an almost unusual ease, Koharu felt her bra come undone. It had become looser, the straps failing from her shoulders onto her arms, and the cups coming away from her breasts, and she threw it off to one side, before returning to their make out session.

Whilst her boyfriend's hands found themselves fondling her butt, hers found themselves pulling at the waistband of his underwear, pulling them down his knees before he threw them off to one side. If she'd enjoyed the show earlier, she hadn't seen anything then; it wasn't that he had a massive penis - not like the artwork she'd seen online, where it didn't matter if they were gentle or not, no part of the human body was quite designed for that - but it was certainly bigger than her hand was.

With only her slightly damp panties still separating them, she pulled them down and threw them onto the pile of discarded clothes, ready for their first time. The anticipation she was feeling, the tingling sensation of her boyfriend's hands exploring her body, all of these caused her breathing to become erratic in the heat of the moment. "J-just be gentle, please..." she asked, breathlessly.

"Always." He whispered to her, before moving to kissing her neck. She adjusted herself, placing herself onto his dick, and letting it slip inside of her. The feeling of having something real inside her was soon replaced by a strange tingling sensation, one that completely caught her off guard.

"AH!" She yelped in surprise.

"You alright!?"

"Heh, yeah, just feels a bit... tingly." She admitted as she felt his penis going deeper inside her. It was a very different sensation to real life, she knew that much - though she was fairly sure that the fact that his member was, in fact, flesh and blood, and not plastic, had more than a little to do with that - but certainly not an unpleasant sensation.

This had certainly been an odd day, he thought to himself. Not only had he slept in till nearly midday, but he was now in the middle of making love to his amazing, beautiful and apparently very horny girlfriend, and he had only one thought in mind as he looked towards her...

She was absolutely the best girlfriend ever, and that he would do everything he could for her.

That included fucking her however hard she asked for, apparently. "Ah, harder! Please!" She pleaded with him, and he obliged, his hips thrusting faster as his dick slid in and out of her pussy. With every thrust, he could feel the tightness as it wrapped around him and the oddly pleasant feeling that came from that sensation.

Despite beginning to get breathless from the sex, he couldn't say he wasn't enjoying it, not at all. On the contrary, this was absolutely amazing - the sex was absolutely fantastic, and he felt closer to Koharu than he ever had before!

What felt only like moments, had actually been considerably longer, and even with the seemingly superhuman stamina they both now appeared to possess, they still had their limits and both were starting to tire as they reached the cusp of climax.

"Just-just a little more!" She pleaded and with the last vestiges of his strength, he sped up his thrusts, and started planting kisses on her neck, before she reached her climax, a wide grin on her face as she did. She wasn't the only one to reach their limits, as only a few seconds later, he felt a familiar sensation - that as he reached his cusp too .

"Koharu..." He panted. "I'm gonna..."

She simply smiled, and he felt his head go fuzzy as he came, before he felt Koharu fall back onto the bed besides him, eyes closed but still with a beaming smile on her face.

"That... was incredible." She whispered, turning over to face him.

"Definitely!" He replied, exhausted but still with a sense of excitement in his voice. "I, uhh... sorry." The excitement soon faded to an awkward smile.

"For what?"

"Well, I did sort of... finish in you." He muttered, not sure how to phrase it.

"It's not like we have to worry about it in here, right?"

"I just, well, thought it wasn't very comfortable?"

"Heh, I can always take a bath." She grinned back. "And if it helps, you don't need to be self-conscious. You've got a nice body! Certainly to me!" She beamed.

Jet's smile faded slightly, before returning as he kissed her. "I... know, but it's..." He sighed, before carrying on. "In real life, I've got some nasty scarring on my stomach. I always, well... I guess I always thought I looked like a bit of a freak, all those marks there. Sounds dumb, I know, but..."

"Even if you do, I still think you're amazing, you know!" She wrapped her arms around him, cuddling up to him and had it been any other time, the fact that both of them were completely naked would've flustered either one or both of them. Today though, neither of them cared, and of anything, it felt even more intimate. It felt like he'd shown her a deep, dark secret, and she'd shone a flashlight onto it. "Was that why you were uncomfortable the other night?"

"Yeah, mostly." He answered, before reminding himself that it wasn't entirely true - at least some of it was down to being next to a lake, with the possibility of people seeing them both naked. "Though, uhh, the lake was, ehh, a little less private than I'd have liked."

"Heh, sorry, I kind of, I got fed up of waiting, and just decided to make a move." She rubbed her neck sheepishly as she blushed. "I kind of came on a bit strong there, didn't I?"

"A little bit. But I am sorry if I made you feel unwanted, I just... I never knew how to bring it up."

"I know, and I guess I was just a bit frustrated. We're both a bit rubbish at this, aren't we?" Koharu laughed as she placed a kiss on his cheek.

"We'll figure it out one day!" He laughed along with her. "But, 'till then, maybe we do what we do best, eh?"

"Make it up as we go along." She smiled as she repeated their entire strategic philosophy, before she closed her eyes again.

A few hours later, and the scene they were currently living was almost one of a complete stereotype - both of them lay there with the bed covers messily placed atop their naked bodies to cover some of their modesty as they cuddled. It honestly felt like it could've been a scene from a mediocre American sitcom...

"Do you want to go on a date?" She asked, placing a kiss on her boyfriend's neck. "Once we've gotten dressed again."

"You know something, I think we're doing this whole dating thing wrong..." Jet commented, causing a worried look to come to her face. They weren't, were they? After their little heart to heart earlier, she'd thought some things through. About how they were going to carry on now they were undeniably a couple, about what they wanted to do when they got away from this world. All of those were questions that would need an answer, and she wasn't sure she could answer any of them. "Shouldn't the date come first, and sex comes later?"

She felt a sense of relief as he finished his joke, like a metaphorical weight was taken off her chest. ''You're an ass.'' She pouted. ''I thought something actually was wrong...'' The pout on her face morphed into a grin as went to stand up. ''Just for that, you're paying tonight!''

''As you wish, mi'lady.'' Jet smiled, a knowing look on his face. ''Besides, it was my turn to pay anyway.'' That knowing look became a full on smug grin as he laid back into the pillows, whilst she stood up and walked over to the door.

"Or... we could always do that again..." She smiled seductively, as she floated her offer, turning to give him a full and unobstructed look at her naked body...

"We're back!" Came Phillia's voice from downstairs, muffled by the doors in its way.

"Date?" Jet asked, watching Koharu smile, despite her frustration.

"Date." She sighed, before she found a towel and left for the bathroom. "I'm just going to have a wash, then we can decide where we go!"

''Anywhere you want, Ko.''
