A/N: Been working on this one for a while now. Partially due to writing it on a separate timeline than standard lewd fics, partially because I was toying around with it a bit.
For the most part this'll be part-smut, part-comedy (hopefully) and part-erotica. How successful I'll be in that regard, only time will tell.
Do enjoy~
Stelle and The Astronomicon
Chapter 1: The Astronomicon
Belobog. Land of snow, steel and even more snow.
Stelle regularly visited the planet, even after the Stellaron Crisis there had ended. Partially to visit the friends she had made along the way but also partially to complete the various missions people had for her. Help was always wanted in a place such as Belobog and so she found no shortage of work, be it aiding with repairs, helping the Silverman Guards with defending against the corruption brought on by the Stellaron, or even just being an able-bodied person for manual labour.
Most of the jobs didn't pay terribly well, in the grand scheme of things – a few thousand credits worth for each, really. However there was two reasons she continued to do them. Well, three technically. The first was that it was a good, kind thing to do for a planet full of people trying their best just to survive.
The second was that they occasionally paid her in Stellar Jades, and she would drop to her knees in a heartbeat and pant like a dog if it meant even one glimmering stone.
The third reason went hand-in-hand with the second one – Shields, the main currency on Belobog. Currency she could use to buy various products from a certain merchant in the Underworld, the result of which would earn her loyalty rewards. Some were less useful like growth materials or bits and bobs, but others included Stellar Jades and even Star Rail Passes, which would be used to lure unsuspecting characters onto the Astral Express.
And if she managed to roll three hundred times, she'd finally be able to bribe Bronya onto the train. Such was the rule of the gacha.
Daydreaming of all the DMG buffs she could attain Stelle almost didn't notice the lamppost she nearly walked into – snapping out of it just in time to side-step the pole. Nobody noticed her near slip-up, thankfully, and so without a word the Trailblazer made her way though Boulder Town's resident merchant, Lauder. Well specifically speaking he was just a guy but to her he was her main dealer of Stellar Jades and Star Rail Passes. By purchasing all the other junk he sold.
Thankfully she was nearly at the second to last reward, featuring a Star Rail Pass. She didn't have quite enough yet, but she was getting there – just a half-dozen more Condensed Aether and she'd be done. Slipping a hand into her pocket Stelle felt about, idly playing with the metal coins within. Sixty coins; enough to buy just one aether. Not a ton, but hey, she was making progress.
''Hm? Ah, Stelle! The woman of the hour – here to buy some more goodies, hm?''
''Mmhm.'' Stelle just hummed, meandering up to the man's stall – eyes running over the various items. Some fruit and veg that she passed over without question, a couple of Ancient Parts and Silvermane Insignias...
...and a book. The concept of a book wasn't foreign to her, contrary to Dan Heng's jests, but there was something about it that just caught her eye. Clad in a deep purple hard cover with a gold trim down the spine it looked remarkably high-class for a grocery stall, yet it lacked any title or details upon it. Tuning out Lauder's yammering about CryptoShield prices she picked it up, finding it to be somewhat heavy but not unmanageably so; prompting her to curiously open it up.
Except the pages were all blank. Bafflement filled her and she flicked through the pages but each and every one was devoid of both word and picture – it was totally blank. It wasn't even like it was a brand new book for someone to write it; the edges of the pages were a bit frayed and if she looked closely she could see the age in the pages. Someone had made this a long, long while ago, but never used it.
''What this?'' Stelle spoke up, incidentally cutting Lauder off.
''Eh? Oh, that.'' Her local Stellar Jade dealer made a face. ''Found it in the mines when I was delivering lunch for the guys. Thought it might be worth something since the guys had unburied it, but the museum in the overworld said it wasn't worth nothin' and they wouldn't take it. Shame, looks good, just a bit old y'know?''
Stelle hummed, turning it over to look at the back. A little roughed up but still good condition. ''How much?''
''Eh... I'd say sixty Shields.''
''Does this count towards the loyalty program?''
''May as well.'' The grocer shrugged.
Stelle tossed the coins onto the table, earning a cheerful thanks-for-your-patronage from Lauder before tucking the book under her arm. Was it the wisest purchase she made? Not by a long shot. But hey, at least she got a free empty book instead of some Condensed Aether she'd use more out of reflex than anything else.
She had a feeling March would still call her an idiot, though.
X-x-X
With her newfound treasure in hand Stelle teleported her way back to the Astral Express.
However contrary to her expectations, the rest of the gang wasn't there. The main carriage that served as their de-facto meeting place, equipped with couches and their ever-dutiful conductor, was silent. No Welt reading a newspaper, no Himeko drinking coffee, no Dan Heng staring out the window mysteriously nor a March 7th humming away some pop song she heard over the IPC radio.
'Where did everybody go?' Stelle wondered, glancing about.
As fate would have it a note stood out on the nearby counter, if only because it had a telltale sparkle that hinted it wasn't just decoration. Meandering over Stelle plucked the note up, eyes scanning the contents – skimming the details and filtering out anything that wasn't written in bold orange text.
Perk of being a Trailblazer, she supposed. Anything plot relevant was highlighted so she didn't need to waste time doing things like reading. If she ever did, she may as well steal Pela's glasses and interrupt people with 'um, acktually...'.
That aside, the note's contents wasn't that surprising. Welt and Himeko had gone to see Bronya to help counsel the young leader on dealing with the IPC in future – the Astral Express couldn't always be a phone call away after all, and while Bronya was a capable woman, she was vastly out of her depth when it came to intergalactic politics, especially with the unfathomable weight the IPC carried. Dan Heng had likewise gone to visit Serval to help catalogue the various unique devices and tricks on Belobog, while in turn sharing some interastral secrets the inventor could put to good use.
Leaving just March on the train. Presumably in her room fiddling with her camera as she was wont to do. Humming Stelle left the note where it was – though not before using a nearby pen to draw a smiley face on it – and departed for her room.
Located just past March's door she took a peek inside her friend's room as she passed, but the tint of the glass made it hard to see anything so she brushed it off, making her way through into her own quarters. Although still somewhat plain like it had been when she first arrived on the Astral Express, she'd made an effort to add a bit of colour – a hat stand for any potential future hats she might collect, a coat rack for all six of her identical coats, a drawer full of identical tops and underwear and-
'Huh.' Stelle stopped. 'Maybe March is right, I should get more clothes than just one outfit.'
The thought, much like a bolt of lightning, didn't last in her mind for more than a second. 'Nah, too complicated.'
Trotting over to her bed Stelle flopped down onto it, exhaling deeply as she sunk into the soft mattress, the warm air of the Astral Express a welcome change compared to the icy chill of Belobog. Naturally however she didn't remain laying down for long, her tummy grumbling for some munchies and coaxing Stelle off and over towards her trusty mini-fridge, one that contained all manner of goodies.
So busy rummaging through cola cans and bowls of fried rice Stelle didn't immediately notice that her bag was glowing; the shimmering gold glinting off of the windows as threads of energy shifted beneath the bag's surface, pushing it out as if it had become alive. A prospect disproven as the energy naturally effervesced upwards, her bag lifting with the motion until a certain plot-relevant object rose up and out of it, leaving the bag to crumple back onto the bed, the buttons jingling faintly.
The noise of which drew Stelle's attention, the grey-haired Trailblazer looking over her shoulder. ''Huh...?''
The empty book she had gotten from Belobog floated ominously above her bed, threads of golden light weaving out from it.
''Uh...'' Dropping her bag of chocolate balls cautiously rose to her feet. ''Nice book, easy there...''
With hands raised placatingly Stelle inched towards the door, warily keeping an eye on the mysterious floating book – when the light seemed to pulse, an intangible wave rippling out and distorting space. Though it reached no further than a few feet it still set the hairs on her neck on end, self-preservation kicking in as she backed up against the door, one hand feverishly palming around for the handle.
When with a bright glow like an imploding star, light consumed her.
…
''Ugh...''
Dizziness was the first thing to greet Stelle. Her vision was blurring and dim around the edges, the room too bright for her poor eyes and compelling them closed, but the need to see where she was coaxed them back open. Confusion was a potent force on her mind and all she could do was fumble about with her hands, palming and grasping at what she identified as carpet, the musty smell of it only adding to that. Right, Pom-Pom told her to wash it a few days ago, didn't they...
The thought helped ground her somewhat, details and information filtering back into her head. She went down to Belobog, bought some stuff, went back to her room and got the munchies... and then the book started to float. Which by horror movie logic meant it was possessed and given her current position, she was likely possessed now and the only way to cure her would be to stab her with a steak and sprinkle some garlic in the wound.
Which did bring up questions. Like how you were supposed to stab someone with a steak, or whether that steak had to be raw or medium-rare.
Maybe she was just mixing up her movies.
A sudden headache made her grimace though, one hand clutching at her head. Disorientation made it hard to aim though and her hand ended up missing her head entirely, as if her arm was too long, and when she managed to clutch at her head she felt like her fingers were longer than she was used to. The sensation was only made more disorienting when she got a hand under herself and pushed herself up into a sitting position, her skirt absent and pants in their place.
Yet something tickled her senses, an instinct that reared its head and felt something off. Frowning Stelle massaged her sore throat and tried to speak, but her voice came out in a cough – and when she felt around a bit more, she felt a weird bulge in her throat, one that even when she coughed wouldn't come out.
''What is-'' She froze.
That wasn't her voice.
She looked around, her vision clearing up by the second, but nobody else was in the room with her. Seeing that she pursed her lips, and tried to speak again.
''Is this my...'' It was. It was her voice.
Yet it sounded more masculine. Not terribly deep, but unquestionably male. Coupled with the lump in her throat...
Her hands went to her chest. Flat.
Despite the burst of nausea it gave her Stelle stumbled to her feet and all but lunged for her mirror, hefting it up – and to her shock she found another face looking back at her. Male, boyish and slightly narrow, it looked like a male version of herself. One that reacted perfectly to every expression she made; her scowl, her frown, her wide eyes, her stuck-out tongue – it was undeniably her. She'd become a guy.
A revelation that shook her to her core, upended her whole world... and made her unzip her new pants just to double-check.
That was until a flash of light made her – him? – flinch, eyes instinctively flitting towards the source. The book from before. It was floating just a couple feet ahead of her, levitating of its own will yet its glow far dimmer than it had been, allowing her to actual look at it without being blinded. It was because of that little fact she could see the book open itself, its pages sprawling open to reveal not blank pages, but pages filled with foreign letters that hurt her brain to read.
Until she blinked, and suddenly she could. The letters, all drawn as if using an ink and quill, instead changed into a language she could understand; broad strokes becoming letters or intergalactic numerals, and when she reached out to the book it floated into her hand.
Which was also when a floating blue text box showed up in front of her face.
[A new hand touches the beacon.]
Stelle stared at the book. ''...you can talk?''
[Would you prefer I don't?]
''I mean... I guess not. I don't like reading anyway, so this is basically just the audiobook version, right?''
She got the impression the book was unamused. It was very expressive for an inanimate object.
[...right. Regardless, I am the Astronomicon. You may have heard of my exploits throughout history, from my time as the hand of Fuli, envoy to the Memokeepers of the Garden of Recollection, and bestower of undeath since time immemorial-]
Stelle double-tapped on the screen, skipping past the dialogue.
[Excuse me, don't do-]
''Skip.''
[You're rather rude you know-]
''Skip.''
[I-]
''Ski- ow!'' Stelle yelped as the book closed around her fingers hard enough to hurt, making her reflexively recoil.
The book floated ahead of her, the text boxes returning.
[Serves you right. Ahem, what I was trying to say is that you are now my Keeper, and if you want to return to your original form you must complete the tasks held within me – do that, and I shall grant you your body back and more. Of that, I can promise upon Fuli's good name.]
''So you're the whole that stole my boobs...'' Stelle grumbled, palming her chest absentmindedly.
[That's what you're concerned about...?]
Silently Stelle crossed her – his? – arms and raised a brow at the book. ''Why should I agree anyway? I didn't ask to become a guy. Or to be your 'Keeper' – for all I know, you're an evil spirit trying to convince me to-!''
[I'll give you 1600 Stellar Jades and a guaranteed 50/50 on your next gacha banner.]
''-where do I sign?'' Stelle clapped her hands.
Another holographic text box popped up, this one with a keyboard attached for her to type her name into.
[You may continue to go by your given name in this new for or choose a new one. This is simply for documentation purposes.]
Stelle's fingers hovered above the keys, half-tempted to put her own name in... but hell, if she was stuck in a guy's body, she might as well pick a new name for the time being. It was only temporary after all, and so long as nobody forgot her actual name, no harm no foul. It was like putting on a costume that you couldn't take off for a certain amount of time. Also she had a dick now. She totally wasn't planning on experimenting with that. Nope, not one bit.
Shaking off the thought she returned her focus onto the keyboard, a name coming to her and compelling her fingers forth.
[Name 'Caelus' registered. You may peruse your new quest objectives. And yes, they will also reward Stellar Jades.]
''Sweet.'' Stelle – or rather Caelus – hummed, gently grabbing the book and letting it automatically open to what he guessed was the directory page. Where he found his first problem. ''Hey, isn't this...''
Claimed: 0/28

There was a few others, but each one stood out to Caelus – suspicion rising by the second until he was absolutely certain this wasn't some wholesome limited-time event, but a sketchy, and rather lewd one.
''...you didn't say anything about doing lewd things, magic talking book.''
The pages fluttered, annoyance apparent.
[Do you want the Stellar Jades or not?]
Caelus had to think on that. For about a second. ''Yep.''
The Astronomicon, apparently content with that, deactivated – becoming more of a normal book as the spirit within it retreated to wherever it went when it was dormant. Caelus huffed slightly at that and held the book himself, flipping through the pages and confirming that yes, each set of 'challenges' was something lewd. 'Claimed' was just another way of saying have sex with. 'Bereft' meant to take photos of naked people. 'Topless' was the same, but only if they were topless, not entirely nude. 'Group Fun' was just a nice term for an orgy.
One thing he was quick to pick up on was the not-so-subtle implication they were all women – no hot yaoi opportunities, unfortunately. More than that though they were all women he knew; each challenge had a list of people he had to do the challenge with. Which made things more complicated, as he probably could've done a fair few of the challenges with total strangers to farm easy Jades, but doing it with people he knew and actually cared about was a bit trickier.
Still, he wouldn't back down from this challenge. Not out of any sense of pride and accomplishment, however.
Because he needed a ton of Stellar Jades for the upcoming banners, and he was damned if he was going to let this opportunity pass him by.
However before he dared take on any of the challenges – and figure out a way to convince his friends and allies to let him bang them because a magic book told him to – he had a new problem. A knock at his door.
''Stelle? Are you okay? You're not narrating to yourself again are you?''
Caelus made to speak up only to halt at the last moment, realising hearing a guy speak was probably the last thing March expected. Right. How to explain the whole gender-swapping thing...
Thinking fast Caelus hurried over to the door – and just as March spoke he opened it, and pulled her inside.
''Whuah- oof!'' March's back hit the wall as he pinned her to it. ''Stelle, what the heck was- hyaa?!''
Okay, so maybe pulling her into his room and locking the door wasn't the smartest idea, but he didn't want the others coming back to overhearing their whole conversation.
''W-Who are you?!'' March squawked, summoning her bow and aiming it at him. ''Where's Stelle?!''
''I'm Stelle-''
''Liar! Last I checked Stelle wasn't a guy!''
Caelus blinked. ''You checked to make sure?''
''Wha- no! It's a figure of speech!'' March spluttered back. ''Answer the question or I'll, I'll freeze you solid!''
''I am Stelle.'' Caelus raised his hands placatingly. ''I got changed into a guy because of a magic book I bought in Belobog.''
''Likely story!''
''Is it really that 'likely' though...?''
''Figure of speech!''
Caelus pouted. ''Well how am I supposed to prove it?''
March loosened her grip on her bow slightly. Only slightly, however. ''Um... I don't know, tell me something only Stelle would know!''
Caelus rolled that around his mind, humming to buy himself time as the hamster wheel in his brain went at full tilt. ''Well... we started at the Herta Space Station, fought off the Annihilation Gang together, I joined the Astral Express and we went to Belobog with Dan Heng, uh... we tried to stay in the Goethe Hotel but nearly got arrested, led a rebellion against Cocolia with Bronya, used the Engine of Creation to punch her a couple of times and I hit her with my flaming lance? Is that enough?''
March was still skeptical but at least lowered her bow. ''Summon your lance then.''
With a shrug Caelus obliged, fire flickering between his fingers before the lance appeared in his waiting grip, as imposing as ever.
That, if nothing else, calmed March down somewhat – her bow disappearing into motes of pale blue light. ''Huh, it really is you... so you were turned into a guy? This isn't one of your pranks is it?''
Caelus shook his head. ''I really was. Magic book said so.''
Seeing March's skepticism he meandered over and plucked the Astronomicon up. It came to life in his hands, floating of its own accord and with a mere mental command it opened up to a specific page, one that showed the list of things he had to do. Yet when March looked upon it her expression was one of befuddlement, not shock or embarrassment like he expected given the contents.
''Um... I can't read hieroglyphics, sorry.''
''Hieroglyphics?'' Caelus looked back at the book but saw only words. ''Looks normal to me. Maybe because the book chose me?''
March crossed her arms but didn't seem as disbelieving as before, thankfully. ''Weird... maybe Mr. Yang or Miss Himeko will know more about it?''
''Maybe.'' He shrugged. ''It'll be a bit before they get back though, so I'm probably stuck like this. On the plus side, the book promised me a bunch of limited-time rewards if I complete certain objectives, so there's that.''
''Oh great, so even when you get turned into a guy you still haven't lost your gambling habits.'' March drawled, hands on her hips. ''...do you feel okay though?''
''Mmhm. Pretty good even, though being a guy feels... weird. I'm a tiny bit taller too.'' Caelus noted, only then acknowledging he had another inch on March now. ''Hey, can I try picking you up?''
''What? No!'' March squawked, backing up even as he stepped closer.
At which point March tried to make a run for it – only to be stopped as he thumped one hand against the wall and pinned her between him and it. Instantly March squeaked and froze up, her face going scarlet and her eyes wide as he leaned in, their closeness only further contributing to her embarrassment, her mind going to all sorts of kissy-smoochy places-
''Huh, neat. That counts towards the 'Kabedon' challenge.''
-when Caelus pulled back, lifting his book up and grinning as ten Stellar Jades tumbled out from the very pages and into his waiting hand.
March lurched forth, clutching at her pounding heart and panting for air. ''D-Don't do that!''
Caelus spared only a glance at her. ''Huh? What's the matter?''
March tried to vocalise her embarrassment, her hands moving in animated gestures as she puffed and stammered, but in the end she just slumped forwards with a groan. Caelus merely quirked a brow before pocketing his Stellar Jades.
''Ugh, anyway, what was that you said that it counts towards? A challenge?'' March inquired grumpily.
''Oh yeah, I forgot you can't read.''
''I-I can read! Just not that stupid book!''
Caelus smirked but when he remembered her question he ran short of words, his cheeks warming as he remembered the contents of the challenges... several of which contained March 7th at that.
His sudden silence spoke more than words ever could, instantly making March 7th look at him suspiciously. ''What is it?''
''Well... the book will give me Stellar Jades if I do certain tasks with certain people.'' Caelus said cautiously, eyeing her. ''One of which involves us having sex.''
…
''Alrighty then, I'm gonna head out-''
Caelus was on his knees in a heartbeat. ''Please! It's the only way for me to turn back to normal!''
''Oh geez...'' March palmed her face. ''At least be honest and say it's because you want those dang Jades...''
''I mean, that's a big part of the reason, but I wanna be back to normal too you know?'' Caelus clutched onto her ankle, refusing to let her leave. ''Pretty please?''
''Ugh...'' She made a face, conflicted. ''This is like... seriously weird y'know? I mean don't get me wrong you're pretty cute as a guy, but still...''
''I'd do it for you if the roles were reversed.''
''And I wouldn't have agreed to this because I'm not a Jadeaholic.''
Caelus had no comeback to that and so settled for the ultimate counter-attack. Puppy dog eyes.
''Mrn... don't do that, it's unfair...'' March's resistance quickly wilted. ''Ugh, fine, I'll help you out. But only because we're besties! What do we have to do then – and stop looking up my skirt!''
Pouting Caelus climbed back to his feet, though privately sifted the pantyshot to the back of his mind. With a roll of his wrist he beckoned the Astronomicon close and the pages unfurled before him without even needing a command, seeming to respond to his heart's desire. March's name showed up in several of the challenges, one of which had been the [Kabedon] category, so he flicked through them until he found one that was a bit more tame than the outright sex one.
''Okay, well here's an easy one.'' Caelus smiled. ''Take your shirt off.''
Warmth instantly flooded March's cheeks and she looked ready to protest but apparently thought better of it; a simple, embarrassed sigh escaping the pink-haired archer as she complied. Nimble fingers toyed with the buttons of her blouse and opened it up little by little, exposing her collarbone, then some cleavage; the edges of her pink bra peeking out.
Until she went further down, undoing her jacket and letting it slide off of her shoulders. The next few buttons came undone and exposed her stomach but in truth Caelus was a bit busy staring at her chest, so perky even in the confines of her bra. While she was more of a premium medium size something within Caelus compelled him to just cop a feel, to caress and feel in a way he hadn't felt before. Was it hormones, he wondered? Lust?
Or maybe just the intrusive thoughts coming back again. They tended to do that.
''This is embarrassing...'' March's quiet grumble made him smile.
Her pink bra shifted as she reached behind her back, her bra askew, until with rosy cheeks she shrugged her way out of it, her hands removing her choker too and letting her bra fall to the floor. Her arms were quick to cover her bare bust but even then the sight of a topless March 7th stirred something within him, the feeling somewhat familiar but more acute than before. Doubly so when March, with a deep sigh, let her arms fall to the wayside.
Her boobs were laid bare as a result. Perky and decently plump they held the eye, compelling Caelus closer too, bewitched even as March whimpered in embarrassment. A whimper that cut off into a yelp when he grabbed her tits, his fingers sinking into her soft, slightly-firm flesh and kneaded her breasts, mindful not to be too rough as he hefted them about in his hands and unashamedly felt March up like he'd wanted to do so many times before.
''A-Ah, hey...'' March whined feebly.
Caelus made to speak but a little convenient ding from the Astronomicon told that he'd accomplished one such task, and so with a sigh he let go of her boobs and stepped back. ''Alright, that's one done.''
''Seriously? You just had to... grope me?'' March covered her chest half-heartedly as she glared at the book. ''It's a real pervert, you know that?''
''Hey don't be mean to it.'' Caelus petted the floated book. ''It's giving me free Jades after all. That's more than enough reason to keep it around.''
March rolled her eyes. ''Right. Anyway, are we done now? Can I put my shirt back on?''
''Not yet.'' With a gesture the pages of the Astronomicon fluttered to another page containing March's name. ''Right... so next one needs me to be take a topless photo of you.''
The whine of embarrassment he got made him smile, but when she didn't protest beyond that Caelus took his phone out and held it aloft. Several taps later and he had the camera function open with March 7th in the centre of the shot. With her back to the wall and burning cheeks she looked endearing, her tummy taut with how tense she was as she shifted from foot-to-foot, unsure of whether to pose or not.
''Don't cover your chest.'' Caelus said lightly. ''C'mon, it's not that serious.''
''You're not the one that's topless.'' March grumbled but obeyed; arms by her side as she pouted at the camera, a slight arch to her back pushing her chest out a bit more intentionally or not.
It was more than good enough, and with a single button press Caelus snapped a photo, immortalising March's boobs into his camera. Another ding from the Astronomicon, and another ten Stellar Jades for completing the task. If things were this easy then who knows, maybe he'd be back to normal in just a few days. One could hope, anyway.
''There.'' March relaxed a little. ''Now are we done?''
''Two more challenges to go.'' Caelus shook his head; smiling at her groan. ''Thanks for this March. I know it's embarrassing, but just bear with it for a little longer.''
The sincerity made March blush, her cheeks growing hot not just from his words but his expression; the boyish charm getting her heart pounding in a way that even Stelle couldn't. It left her flustered and short on words, her tongue moving but only a handful of slow, stumbling stutters escaping her-
''Now can you get naked?''
''D-Don't ruin the moment!'' March squawked.
Caelus just chuckled sheepishly, the picture of boyish innocence despite their situation. Sighing heavily March rubbed the bridge of her nose but tentatively agreed, her face hot as she tugged her skirt down her hips and let it fall around her ankles, exposing her creamy thighs in full alongside her pastel-pink panties. Standing just before someone else in nothing but her underwear was embarrassing enough, but to do so in front of someone pretty cute just made it more so.
Seeing Caelus's expectant expression, coupled with his hopeful puppy look, melted her heart – and so with a final groan March let her panties drop. ''T-There.''
Caelus adjusted the camera but didn't take a picture yet. In part, truthfully, because he was a bit too busy eyeing March. Although she'd caught her nude once or twice like when they went to a hot spring on Jarilo-VI it was always just passing glimpses when getting undressed, never a full-frontal nude look, and Caelus found himself bewitched. The creaminess of March's legs and the slight curve of her hips, the slimness of her waist, the slit between her legs topped with the slightest hint of bubblegum-pink hair; every part of her was attractive in that moment.
At March's whine he snapped out of his staring, however; a single button press capturing her naked beauty and earning him another bunch of Stellar Jades. Though in that moment the Jades were actually secondary to the view before him, one that left his pants feeling weirdly tight, his left hand idly trying to loosen them to no avail.
''Okay, what's next?'' March grumbled, embarrassed as she turned slightly away from him, not that it did much to hide her nudity. It did emphasise her cute butt though.
Despite agreeing to this Caelus himself couldn't help but blush a bit. ''Er... sex.''
Whether because of the fact she was already naked, or all the insanity leading up to this point, March didn't react all that negatively to it. ''Haah... should've known. I guess it's okay though since it's you – but you better not tell anyone about it!''
''I won't, I won't.'' Caelus placated as he pocketed his phone. ''Should we uh... do it on the bed?''
March pursed her lips and nodded, red-faced as she hurried over and hopped onto it, hands between her thighs as she made a token effort to cover herself up. Caelus spent a second to take off his clothes, stripping the fabric off one article at a time and unaware of how March looked at him all throughout, her gaze tracing his torso especially – smooth tummy and generous bust absent, replaced instead by a more toned physique and defined pectorals. Hardly muscle-bound by any stretch of the imagination, but with enough there to highlight his physique.
His pants soon fell though, revealing the bulge in his boxers – and not a second later they fell too, revealing his erect cock. Startling not just March, but Caelus himself.
''Huh...'' Tentatively he caressed his shaft. ''So it does get hard, huh...''
March said nothing, face steaming red as she tried and failed to look away, even as Caelus stripped off the last of his clothes and sat on the bed with her. Upon which they both realised a sudden, acute problem.
''...do you know how this works?''
''W-Why would I know?!''
Both had lost their memories, and neither knew anything about sex. It simply never came up until now.
''Oh my god.'' March put her head in her hands.
''Just, I dunno, look it on my phone.'' Caelus remarked as he shuffled closer. ''While you do that...''
Caelus trailed off, the reason why becoming apparent as he caught her shoulders – and March yelped as he pinned her down to the bed. In and of itself an embarrassing thing but naked as they were it took on a whole new dimension, her gulp audible as Caelus unashamedly ran his eyes down her body, his right hand cupping her left breast and kneading it slowly, making the archer tremble from his mere touch.
Taking his advice though she accepted his phone and hurriedly typed into AstraGoogle, searching feverishly for 'how does sex work' and scrolling through twenty ads for various semi-related services. A task she was distracted from as Caelus pushed his face into her chest; a squeak escaping her as he unabashedly motor-boated her, humming in content as he practically snuggled himself into her bosom.
''Do you have to do that?'' March grumbled bashfully.
Caelus just offered a shrug, not verbalising that he'd always wanted to do that, even before the whole gender-swapping business. However he soon shifted further down, nuzzling March's taut tummy and soon her groin, reaching her sex soon enough. Though at first all he did was nuzzle her thighs and pull them around his head, squishing himself between her nice legs, instinct soon guided him between them.
Until he spread her petals and lashed at her sex. March squeaked, flinching so hard she nearly dropped his phone, but before she could say anything another lick teased her sex and coaxed a moan from her lips. Emboldened by the lewd noise Caelus continued; his tongue licking and lashing experimentally, seeing what felt good and what didn't, his vast intelligence, previously devoted to trash cans, now devoted to eating March 7th out.
And despite her best attempts to hide it, March loved it – moans spilling past her pursing lips. Though masturbation wasn't new having someone else between her legs most certainly was, and each little lick or lash of Caelus's tongue left the archer gasping. Jolts shot through her legs and made them tense but Caelus laid his hands upon them, keeping them open as he peered up at her, working up to her clit and tonguing it earnestly.
''M-Mnn... no fair~'' March whined breathlessly.
Caelus flashed a slight smile and kissed her groin, teasing her unintentionally as he made her wait several aching moments before his tongue returned; a moan tumbling out of her as he went back to teasing her clit. His fingers weren't idle either as they left her right thigh and teased her entrance instead, his fingers pushing and prodding – and just when she opened her mouth to plea those same fingers penetrated her, easing themselves into her wet sex.
The moan that fled March was embarrassingly loud but in that moment neither cared, least of all Caelus as he curled his two fingers inside of her, stroking about and turning his partner into mush – her toes curling and legs wide apart as she gave him easy access, her moans taking on a higher pitch when he sucked on her clit. Memories of his own time alone in bed in his previous body helped him somewhat, guiding his fingers as he stroked about, though being the giver rather than the receiver made it a little tricky.
Not that it diminished March's pleasure much. ''A-Ahh... Stelle...!''
''I go by Caelus now.'' Caelus remarked absentmindedly, licking her clit.
''Mrnn...'' Was March's quaking reply. ''C... Caelus...''
His dick ached at the sound and unconsciously Caelus pulled his fingers out of March, using them instead to stroke his rock-hard cock. It still felt weird to have one and more importantly how sensitive it was; a simple grab and tug making him groan as he used his tongue on March, teasing her entrance now and lapping up her nectar. She clutched onto his head with one hand, his phone slipping from between her fingers and getting lost in the quilt as he ate her out so devotedly, her fingers running through his grey locks and pulling him between her legs more.
The relentless strokes of his tongue fed her budding orgasm, her cries hastening and her heels digging into the quilt. Knowing what was coming Caelus kept at it, his tongue going back to her clit and his fingers penetrating her once more – earnestly finger-fucking March and making her spasm, her orgasm imminent-!
''KYAA~!''
-when with a sharp, girlish squeal she peaked, cumming hard on his fingers. Caelus jerked his head back just in time to avoid her squirt but didn't stop his fingers; eagerly jamming them into her tightening tunnel mid-orgasm and extending her pleasure for a few moments more. On impulse he leaned down and kissed her taut tummy as she came, the little smooch only adding to her pleasure, her muscles seizing as she spasmed.
Gradually though the rush waned, and the moment it did March went slack – an explosive moan fleeing her as she was left a panting mess on his bed. Only then did Caelus leaned back onto his knees, eyeing March from head to toe and just appreciating her naked form. That appreciation though only fed his arousal, his cock aching for more than just his own hand; the thought guiding him closer until he was practically on top of the archer.
''Nn... Cae-''
A kiss cut her short and made her eyes go wide, startled... before a second later she moaned and reciprocated, throwing her worries to the wind as she wrapped her arms around him. Though their knowledge was limited instinct and common sense was good enough; his cock grinding up along her sex once, twice, thrice before March reached down and guided the head towards her opening, the tip inching in.
And then as one they moaned as he finally penetrated her, his girth sliding into her womanhood. The sensation was entirely novel for both of them, their mutual moans filling his cabin as he claimed March's first time. There was little pain, her insides slick and easing his cock into her drooling tightness, each inch a small challenge that was easily overcome – until soon he was practically hilted inside of her, their loins intertwined.
''Oh god~'' March whined, biting her bottom lip. ''It's so deep, it feels weird...''
Caelus on the other hand groaned wordlessly, unable to speak as he felt his shaft – his new, sensitive shaft – be gripped by her insides, the sensation so novel it left him practically void of thought. It was that same overwhelming pleasure that compelled his hips into moving, the slow undulation of his hips rocking him back-and-forth, his shaft scraping her insides and eliciting more gentle moans from his partner.
Moans that steadily built in volume as his thrusts gained speed too; his hands clutching onto her hips and keeping her steady as he plunged himself into her, losing himself in the slippery friction. That was until March cupped his cheeks and pulled him down into a kiss, moaning adorably into his mouth and enticing him to clutch onto the quilt instead, practically laying on top of his friend-turned-lover as he fucked her raw.
''Mm! Mmph~!'' March slipped her hands down into his own, holding hands with him as he moved – the repeated impacts between her legs, of his weight crashing into hers, like a drug she didn't want to stop taking.
Nor did Caelus; the young man breaking off the kiss with a moan and tucking his face into her neck, their hands stretching up to the pillows as he kept himself upright enough to keep moving, his cock ceaselessly plunging between her slick, sticky petals; her insides welcoming him with a tight squeeze. His attention shifted further up though as their lips connected in another kiss, the smooch quick but no less enthralling in that moment as they held hands and fucked so passionately.
A passion that March conveyed; mewling as she wrapped her legs around his waist and leg-locked him. It made it hard to pull out, forcing his thrusts to be shorter if faster, but in that moment Caelus hardly cared and just pounded his partner without relent – the lewd plap of flesh ringing out and the headboard banging against the wall, the repeated dull thunks only adding to the intimacy of their moment.
''Oh my god, oh my god~'' March moaned needily, her thighs pressing into his hips as she arched her back. ''I'm almost there~! Just a little more, please~!''
Caelus moaned and held nothing back, throwing his weight behind every thrust as he pounded March 7th like his life depended n it, pounding her even as her budding cries rung out, the slippery embrace of her pussy too much for him to endure-!
When with a squeal March 7th climaxed, her shrill wail filling his ears – right before he peaked, experiencing the single most intense orgasm he'd ever felt. A rush of foreign sensations overcame him and he came inside of March, peripherally aware of the implications even as he senselessly pressed himself into her, unloading gush after gush of semen into her willing depths, the sopping clench of her womanhood only serving to milk more cum from him.
A small eternity passed, their union keeping them on cloud nine, until little by little they fell back down to reality. Just being inside March post-orgasm was almost torturous on his hypersensitive cock and without thinking he pulled out, allowing a deluge of cum to spill out of her, the staggered leakage making March whimper at the foreign feeling.
''Nn... that feels weird...'' She got out between breaths, shivers dancing across her form.
Caelus could only grunt out a breathless agreement, thoroughly winded. He retained enough strength though to beckon the Astronomicon over to him though and gain 20 Stellar Jades from it.
Yeah, he was definitely going to try and convince his friends to bone now. Screw hunting for chests just to get 5 Stellar Jades from them; he could get quadruple that with less effort!
That and sex felt good. That was a plus too.
Sitting on the edge of the bed he jangled the Stellar Jades about, marvelling at their shininess and eagerly envisioning all the tickets he could buy. He'd have Bronya in his team soon enough, he was sure...
March 7th, meanwhile, pouted over at him. ''You just came in me and you're already thinking of other girls, aren't you?''
''...no?''
''Liar.'' She puffed her cheeks out. ''...but I guess it's fine, since you need to do it to change back to normal, right?''
''Huh? Oh, right. Almost forgot about the whole turning back to normal thing...''
A sigh. ''You really need to fix your priorities, Ste- Caelus. Hrn, that's gonna take some getting used to.''
''Mm. Also, on the note of getting used to-''
Caelus turned to face her, revealing his rock-hard cock.
''It got hard again. Can we do it some more?''
March whined in embarrassment.
And within the minute he had her bent over and her face squished against the window; pounding her from behind as she cried out in delight.
His hunt for more Stellar Jades waiting until the second chapter of his adventure... whenever it got around to being written.
[END]
A/N: So, thoughts~? I'm open to other ideas for 'challenges' to slip in there, though on the primary condition they're not outright sex related (as in, 'anal' or 'oral' can't be challenges).
Additionally, all playable female characters* (and even some not) will be lewded. All of them. So look forward to that~
*Does not include Penacony characters yet. They will come later on, probably when we've reached around 2.3-2.4.
See you next time~
