Chapter 52: Aquarium Day
Summary:
On the first day of the hurricane, rather than being stuck in all day, Zeryph decides to take Latias on the date she asked about. Giving her the chance to make her move. With a surprise cameo, as well.

[Iron Island]
"Huh?" Riolu stopped mid swing as her senses caught something. She turned, facing towards the direction Kanto was in. She and her mentor had just begun the day's training.
"Little one? What is it?" Her mentor asked. His eyes widened, and he turned the same way. "Wait…I feel it, too. That Aura…it's so…strong." Lucario fell silent for a moment, as he thought about something. "Riley!" He called out, suddenly.
"What is it?" Riolu asked him.
"That came from Kanto, without a doubt. I don't know who it is, but they're powerful. Really powerful." Lucario made a signal, one that meant training was halted. "Training is done for today. I wanna figure out who or what that was."
"But, we were just about to…nevermind." Riolu shrugged, so much for warming up. She was doing much better than two months ago. Though she still missed her mother, dearly, she knows that her mother would be proud of how far she's gotten. She hasn't evolved, but only because she's missing the necessary bond to trigger it. She watched her mentor hurry off, in order to find the human who was overseeing their training.
Some small part of her mind registered a strange sense of…familiarity, with that Aura. But she had no idea why, as, she didn't really remember the details of that day. Riolu sighed, then began to walk off towards the meditation spot. She didn't even get to start the day's training because of…whatever that was.
[02:00 Hours]
[Zeryph]
I blinked my eyes open, my ears catching the sound of strong wind. The distant crashing of waves against the cliffs below mixing with the howling. I gave Solais a soft kiss on the forehead, before gently slipping away and rolling off the cot we were on. As I stood up, I stretched quietly, then began to head into the main room.
"You too, huh?" Alex asked quietly.
"Well, Lexie and I normally get up early, just not this early. It wasn't the storm that woke me up, so much as it was just calling it an early night." I sat down next to Alex, who was looking outside through the front of the building. I could smell the rain in the air, mixing with the sea breeze. Something I hadn't picked up on, before, but I can now.
"For me, it was the storm. My ears are very sensitive, as you probably know. I was able to hear the wind long before it picked up." Alex looked back over his shoulder and smiled softly. I felt Mewtwo's hand on my back not long after, and he sat down with us, on my left. "I'm surprised Solais isn't up, given her…fear of storms, right?"
"Yeah, think we told you that story. Fuchsia was hard on all of us. This is gonna be even harder. Even though Suicune said it was only a category two." I let out a soft purr when Mewtwo started to rub my back with his fingers. "Well, anyway, for now…we're all kinda stuck here. While taking you all through the dungeon system would be fine for passing time, Alex, you're not as hardened by it as everyone else. And since you're over two months behind us, it wouldn't do well for you."
"Could do a different sort, maybe." Mewtwo spoke up. "Perhaps one of the endurance ones, instead."
"Not a bad idea, could do with one for high temperature. But, after what happened to me in the magma cave…heh…I'd rather not have to deal with that." I felt Mewtwo lean over against me.
"Yeah…I don't blame you. I can imagine that heatstroke is worse with a metal skeleton." Alex spoke up.
"Oh, very much so." It…really sucked. I'll be looking into magic in order to keep myself cooled off in the future, for sure.
"You didn't feel his forehead at the time, Alex. He felt like he was on fire, almost." Melanie's voice met my ears.
"Hey Mel." I said quietly.
"Hey Zee." Melanie bent down so we could share a kiss. "Guess we're all getting up early, huh?"
"Guess so." I moved over so she could sit down on my right. "Well, considering how we're stuck here, probably wouldn't hurt to spend some time with Latias."
"Oh, that date she wanted to go on, right?" Melanie asked. "Sooo…how far are you gonna go, hmm?" She asked, breaking into giggles when I blushed.
"Not that far, I mean, unless things happen to change. Lexie and I didn't go that far on our first date, either." I smiled softly.
"Oh, speaking of dates. I can't believe you haven't taken Kaorah on one, yet. Shame on you, Zee." Melanie's right, actually.
"Ah…yeah, that's true. First day of the journey, but I mean…we kinda were waiting…a while." I said. "Still, uh…I honestly don't know what to work with, far as she goes."
"Work with what, exactly?" Kaorah spoke up, only to snort at my startled reaction. "Talking about dates, I guess?"
"Yeah, we are." Melanie kissed my right cheek, softly, then gave up her spot for Kaorah to join us.
"I think he and I discussed it before. A trip to Ferrum, wanted to see the battles there." Kaorah made herself comfortable. So, what she's talking about is an idea from a while back. Where we wanted to go to Ferrum to catch the battles in person. That's a trip we can actually make, now. And, I mean…pre-journey idea, actually. By a little more than the months she was in the ball, waiting.
I feel bad about leaving her in there now, looking back on it. Even though she has forgiven me for that. Really though, I probably should've just let her live with me. Even for that period leading up to the start of this…absolutely incredible journey.
"We could probably all go for that, actually. Heard their resort is pretty great." Melanie smiled. "Well…I could see…actually, yeah, the egg…right. Well, I mean, base portal, soo…"
"Yeah, if not for that, having a kid would really slow us down." I smiled softly. "I'm gonna be redecorating soon, possibly changing the way the building is, just so it properly fits more of us. 'Cause there's no way its current build can support us if our team gets any bigger. Especially if I make mothers out of more than just Lexie." I chuckled softly when both the girls began to blush.
"Aaaalright. Didn't need that mental image." Alex spoke up, shaking his head. "Seriously, you and them…all the time."
"Oh yeah. Still not used to it, huh?" Melanie asked. "If it's anything like with Mewtwo, you'll be asking me for advice if you and Zee get any closer."
"What?" Alex tilted his head. I caught Mewtwo's blush with a glance.
"It's…ah…true. I felt like I had to ask in order to learn, and…well, it payed off." Mewtwo leaned over against me, even more than he already had been.
"Hi guys!" Latias squeaked, interrupting whatever Alex was about to say. I felt her arms wrap around my waist, and she nuzzled my left cheek. The rain had begun to fall while the rest of us were talking. I reached up, gently scratching at her chin with one of my claws, causing her to giggle.
"Hey, since we'd be stuck in all day otherwise, how about I take you on that date you wanted?" I asked her. A grin broke out on her face, and she squeezed tighter with her arms, letting out a happy squeak.
"I'd love that!" Latias nuzzled me, again. "Do the aquarium first, since we're gonna be having breakfast here in a bit."
"Aquarium, huh?" Kaorah spoke up.
"Yup, came up with the idea while she and I were flying." I said. "Well anyway, might as well find something to do for a bit. Personally, I'm just gonna meditate for a little while. At least until Lexie's up, anyway."
"I'll join you for that." Mewtwo spoke up. As he stood up, he helped me up, as well. "The rain should help out with it, too." It's true, it had turned into a muffled roar.
"Zerrie, wait. I was thinking…it should be a clear night in the base portal, right?" Latias spoke up. "Maybe…some stargazing, later on? Might be nice."
"Heh…sure. C'mon, Mewtwo." I felt Mewtwo grab one of my hands. "Latias, I'll introduce you to s'mores, too. It's an amazing treat, you'll love it."
"Hey, Latias." Melanie caught her attention, then shifted into telepathy. Mewtwo and I had already started to leave the room, so I couldn't see the girls' expressions.
"Man, I really hope Melanie doesn't give her a hard time." I said quietly.
"Eeh…knowing her." Mewtwo shifted from holding my hand to wrapping an arm around my waist, which I did in return. "She's probably…gonna give some advice. You and I both know how that could go."
"Yeah…pretty good idea." I sighed. "Well, based on what you, Kaorah and Lexie have said, Mel's a perv." I got a chuckle out of Mewtwo.
"You have…no idea. I don't know why she keeps it under wraps when you're around. Maybe just because she's waiting for you to ask about that side of her." Mewtwo and I sat down in what we set up as his area, settling into the position to meditate. "I wonder what the spark was."
"Maybe her tending to an issue I woke up with." I saw Mewtwo's face light up a little bit. "Yeah, that one. The one when Lexie walked in on the two of us."
"Yeah, I remember. Let's…shift the topic, or we'll never be able to meditate properly." Mewtwo began to slow his breathing, preparing to slip into meditation. I did the same, and with the sound of rain, it didn't take as long to get in pretty deep. We were only brought out of it when Lexie tapped us on the shoulder, a couple hours later.
Lexie and I went into the base portal in order to start on breakfast, then pulled the others in once it was ready. Latias seemed a little flustered, and wasn't able to look my way without blushing. I sighed, knowing exactly what Melanie might've talked about with her. I thought I said that I wasn't going to go that far. Guess it's just a reason to talk with Melanie, later.
Even with Latias being flustered, breakfast was enough of a distraction for her. She was able to settle down, and enjoyed it like the rest of us. Latios seemed worried about her, but all Latias would tell him, was that it was girl talk. And, that he wouldn't understand a bit of it.
After breakfast, Latias and I headed outside, after letting everyone else return to the outpost. Latios was the last, as he wanted to ensure that I'd take care of his sister. There wasn't any real hostility, though. I guess, after Rayquaza, I'd proven myself to him.
"I hope Melanie wasn't any trouble." I said to Latias, once we were alone. I was already preparing the portal spell, searching for a decent aquarium to take her to visit. I did find one, after a little bit, one which had both normal fish, and simulated setups for fictional ones.
"Oh, no, just some general advice to make sure it goes well. Mostly just telling me to be myself." Latias nuzzled my cheek. She smiled when the portal flared to life as I cast the spell. "Shall we?"
We both headed through, emerging at the entrance. Much like the park I'd taken Lexie to, it was divided into sections. Only, this time, there wouldn't be a steam train. Instead, it was to be underwater tunnels. Sort of like the Marine Tube in Unova. In fact, the simulation environments were going to be similar. Those were for dangerous creatures that live at depths too deep for safe construction.
"Looks kinda…underwhelming, honestly." Latias spoke up.
"Oh, this is just the entrance." I paid the admission for both of us, chuckling softly at the receptionist's confused reaction to both of us. She still gave us the arm bands, though, after deciding she didn't care about two Pokemon being the most recent guests. We headed through the entrance, and down a long flight of stairs with blue light at the bottom. Entering the first of the many underwater tunnels.
"Whoa…cool." Latias looked around, smiling. "Wonder if this is what Lugia sees, down in the waterfall cave."
"Possibly. But, nobody ever really sees Lugia so, you never know." I held out a hand. Latias blushed slightly, but still reached out to grab on. She seemed a little uncomfortable with the stares directed towards us, but my presence helped settle her nerves.
"Sooo…where to first?" Latias asked.
"Their simulation stuff, further down. We can just take the long way to get there." I said, earning a quiet nod. As people started to figure out we were a couple on a date, they started to leave us be. Though, once or twice, someone asked us if they could get a picture. Latias seemed a little uncomfortable with having her picture taken, especially with me nearby. Or just being on camera in general. It's possible that she might be camera-shy. Knowing how she used to roam around Alto Mare, it wouldn't surprise me. Since she was often invisible or disguised as Bianca. Alto Mare's Bianca, not…you know who I mean.
"Oh, have you figured out where we're gonna go eat?" Latias asked, as we began to descend once more, past the level with the normal stuff, heading for where things become simulated.
"I was thinking…Mauville. Should be some good stuff there." I said.
"Ooh, sounds good. Oh, if we're going back, have you figured out how to change forms?" Latias asked.
"Actually…" I looked through the spell list, until I found it. Smiling, I cast the spell, and felt my body shift. I did a big, long stretch, my body feeling lighter without the steel bones. My outfit was the same as the day we left on our mission. I felt Latias gently ruffling my hair to spike it back up. "Good to be back."
"Back in black, too, no less." Latias said, before giggling. "Mewtwo introduced me to some music from your world."
"Good taste, then. That's a great song." I've absolutely gotta use that one when I make a return…just gotta plan a proper intrance for it. I'm not sure how I'll top my "Sorairo Days" one from the Indigo League, but we'll see. Side note, but, Ash's Squirtle thought that intro I did was absolutely amazing. Even rating my Simon pose as nearly perfect, saying that all I was missing was the glasses.
"I think you look better as a human, personally. Nothing against your Lucario form or anything." Latias smiled. "Ya know, I can do something similar, actually." Latias channeled her power, then there was a blast of smoke. She giggled, then gently blew it away. The first thing I saw was shoulder length white hair with red streaks, two small tufts resembling her short horns.
She was dressed in a white t-shirt and black jogging pants with red stripes down the legs, and white tennis shoes. She had a red vest on, designed similar to the vest from the Zephyr warframe's Harrier Skin. With a blue triangle on the back. Black fingerless gloves were worn on her hands. She smiled softly, her yellow eyes blinking open.
"Sooo…? How do I look?" She asked.
"You look amazing." I wrapped her into a hug, which she returned. She was shorter than I was, but neither of us minded that. "But, I prefer your normal form, personally." I got a warm smile, and Latias gave me a kiss on the cheek, before returning herself to normal.
"Melanie said something like that. That you like us just the way we are, and don't actually need to change our forms to like us." She then began to pull me along. "Now, c'mon, we've got something else to focus on right now." We slowly continued downwards, into the simulated sections. The first dome we entered had very low light. Hearing the song "Void" kick in made my heart legitimately skip a beat.
Not helped by the massive glowing lifeform that appeared outside, simulation or not. Having seen an Eidolon Wyrm before…I have a very good reason to be scared. Was not expecting a Calamity Mod cameo here.
"What is that?" Latias asked. I could sense the fear in her voice. That she was putting off.
"That, is a fully grown Eidolon Wyrm. Very…very dangerous." I said. "Be glad that our world does not have one." I watched Latias following it with her eyes. "In the game it's from, getting the Chaos State debuff would spawn one in that would hit you for one point three million damage."
"Great Arceus." Latias mumbled. "So…yeah, you weren't kidding about it being dangerous."
[Song Suggestion]
[DM Dokuro- Siren's Call]
We stayed for a little while longer, before moving on. There were several fictional sea creatures to be seen, with another surprise being an appearance from Anahita. Getting to hear her sing was a nice treat, on its own, since her voice is so beautiful. Especially since we can focus on the song without it being a fight. Unlike the other tech though, she was very real.
She didn't seem to mind the crowd she had drawn, in fact, she even appreciated it. Fun fact, if our team's water starter were to be a Primarina, I'd name her after Anahita, herself. But, for right now, I'm stuck between Greninja, Inteleon, or Quaquaval. I kinda want to let Ash have Greninja because of the Battle Bond stuff.
Which leaves me with Inteleon or Quaquaval. It's likely to be the former, since having a sniper wouldn't be a bad idea. But at the same time, Quaquaval gets Moxie. Or, hell, I could just get both and have Quaquaval be the fighting type representation, while myself and whichever Lucario joins us, are there for Steel.
The crowd broke out into applause as Anahita's song ended, and she took a bow for all of us. As the crowd dispersed, she turned to look right at Latias and I.
[Human. I sense the power you wield. You remind me of her…almost.] Anahita's voice echoed in my head. [That was a long time ago. Don't worry about it. Just a long story that has already been told.]
[Of who, exactly?] I asked, out of curiosity.
[Why, the Terrarian, of course. What was her name…? Jessica?] Anahita asked me.
[Yeah…actually, it was. Heh…I remember that.] I smiled. [For what it's worth, sorry about killing you so many times.]
[That was you, huh? The player, then? Heh…no worries, it had to happen. I recall her just standing around to listen to my song, when she wasn't fighting monsters.] Anahita smiled softly. [Now, go on, enjoy your date. We've already broken the fourth wall enough as it is.] I let out a chuckle, in response to her words.
"She seems like she's really nice." Latias said to me, as we began to move along.
"Oh, she is. Her singing is something I could listen to for hours, pretty much." I admitted. "If I were to get a Primarina, that's who I'd name her after."
"I can certainly tell why you would." Latias smiled. "C'mon, let's go look around some more." The two of us continued to explore at our own pace. I even used a bit of magic to set a song, myself. Zame's remix for the Marine Tube. I'm fully aware of what songs play, of course. Sometimes, I set them off myself, but they're usually automatic. Or it's special cases like Anahita, or Lugia's Song when we get to "Power of One."
[Break]
Latias and I spent several hours wandering around the aquarium, until the day had started to move on into the evening hours. That was when we headed back to the base portal. I didn't mention before, but I'd taught Melanie how to use the portal spell, herself, just in case. Especially with the fact the girls and I are gonna start spawning. That way Melanie has access whenever she needs it. Whether for herself or for the team.
My parents and Alex were in, though. My parents smiled warmly when they saw how much my human form had grown, and Alex gained a wide-eyed stare, before shaking his head and quietly apologizing for staring. I chuckled, before reaching up to scratch behind his ears, earning a soft purr in response.
With my left hand, I sent out a pulse to signal Dialga, who appeared in a blue flash.
"Hey Dialga. Latias and I wanted to go to Mauville for supper, tonight." I said to him.
"Not a problem." Dialga shifted into his human form, before gently brushing his mustache with his right hand. He then placed his hands on our shoulders. Right for Latias, and left for myself. The world blurred, and in an instant, we were in Mauville City. Some people reacted with visible shock, from us simply appearing out of thin air.
I smiled sheepishly when some people who were obviously fans of mine began to freak out slightly…hoo boy.
"Well, you did say you wanted to come here. Your fans are not my problem." Dialga said, chuckling. "Good luck, chosen one." He disappeared before I could stop him. I sighed, before chuckling with a shake of my head.
"Latias, shall we?" I asked her, offering my hand once again. She smiled, reaching out to grab it. The indication that we were on a date got my fans to settle down, though some still smiled warmly at us. I did still wave back to those who waved to me, of course. And if someone asked for a picture, I was happy to oblige, meaning I became the subject of a few selfies. Just so long as Latias wasn't in the picture, it was fine.
Some of the folks even gave us some good recommendations, if we wanted somewhere nicer than the food court to eat. Ultimately, it ended up being simpler than I thought it would, as we both found ourselves in a smaller restaurant. It was a bar and grille, one with TVs set up for the different regions, showing battles on screen.
They even had proper seating for someone like Latias, which was a bonus. Not that she actually had to sit, since she just floated over her spot, low enough that it wouldn't be awkward for us.
"Having fun, so far?" I asked her, softly.
"Huh? Oh…yeah, whole day has been amazing." Latias smiled softly. She moved our drinks, just some sodas, over to the table with telekinesis, after our waitress waved to draw her attention to them. Latias set mine in front of me, before going to take a sip from hers. "Oooh…I can see why you like this stuff. It's the…fizz, right? Is that the right word?"
"Yeah, it is." I sipped from my own. It's amazing the alterations you can pull when you have the code of reality in your hands. I only made a small one, just to get some real-world drinks. Mountain Dew being one of the main ones. "Just be careful, the stuff that's in it, caffeine specifically, is real addictive, and it hits everyone differently. Mostly depending on how much you get."
"I was warned about that, yeah. Heard that coffee is the strongest form of it." Latias smiled. "That's the stuff you drink every morning, right?"
"Yup. Funnily enough, I used to hate the stuff. Didn't mind the smell, but couldn't stand the taste." We paused our conversation long enough to place our orders. "Dunno what changed this time around, but I like it now." I had been weening off of it though, since it was beaten by Lexie and I doing morning exercise every day. Plus, the amount of Mana and Aura I have…I get boosted without needing caffeine nowadays.
"Yup, tried a sip. Doesn't taste great." Latias agreed. "Tried straight black." I winced.
"Hoo…yeah, black coffee is super bitter. Even more-so for a shot of espresso." I don't go for espresso, just a normal cup of coffee. I decided to go with an order that we could share, for the food, and it wasn't long until our waitress brought it out. An order of cheese fries, with ranch to dip the fries in.
Latias and I both happily dug in. Snacking on the fries while talking about whatever we could think of. It was mostly Latias asking about stuff she didn't know about me. More on my past life than anything. I even went as far to show her my old home, minus the damage from the night when I…ya know.
She asked me why didn't I remake it for the base portal. My reasoning is that…it was my old home, and, I had moved on. That's why I didn't reuse the design. During the week off, I was able to use the System control to unlock a return trip, going for my old consoles. Brought those into the cabin, so we have them now.
The two of us continued to enjoy our fries, and the burgers we'd also ordered. They ended up being delicious, even if it wasn't Lexie who made them. Regardless, they were still very good. Since we had a little more time before nightfall, Latias and I decided to wander around Mauville for a while, and I bought something through the market.
As we stepped outside, before signalling Dialga, I showed Latias what I got. A shiny white Pokeball with red grips, and a matching blue triangle, on a red background, decorated the top. Latias gave me a kiss on the cheek, before pressing a hand on the ball, letting herself be drawn in. After the traditional shakes and a click, I let her back out. Then, safely stored the ball away, before finding myself wrapped in a tight hug.
"Zerrie?" She whispered.
"Yeah?"
"I love you." Her lips met my own before I could respond. A kiss which I began to quickly return, allowing her to deepen it as much as she wanted, tuning out the quiet cheers from some bystanders around us. When we separated, Latias was sporting a blush and panting softly, but the biggest smile I've ever seen had split her face.
"Love you too, Latias." I said, wrapping her up in a tight hug which she returned. We then shared another, softer kiss, before focusing on our embrace, simply holding each other for a while. As we separated, I signaled Dialga. He gave us both a warm, soft smile, and silently returned us to where we left from, before wishing us a good night and leaving us be.
"Stargazing?" I asked, quietly. Latias nodded, smiling, before starting to pull me outside. I decided to stay in my human form a little while longer, since I was safe to as long as I didn't leave the dungeon portal while in my human form. Latias and I both set a blanket down, before going to lay down on it as best we could.
Latias gently grabbed one of my hands, carefully interlocking her clawed fingers with mine. She smiled lovingly at me, and as her attention returned to the sky, she let out a happy squeak, her eyes tracking a shooting star as it streaked through the atmosphere. She put her free hand to her chest, smiling and closing her eyes while bowing her head.
"Ya know, if Jirachi hears your wish, depending on what it is, he could very easily grant it." I said softly.
"I know, but his wishes have their limits. That's why a shooting star is better." Latias replied.
"And Shenron is better than a shooting star." I said back.
"Who?" Latias asked.
"Ah, nevermind. You wouldn't understand it." I think explaining Dragon Ball would take a while.
"Well, I know that saying what you wished for means it won't come true. But…maybe, this time, it will." Latias pulled me into an embrace as she was speaking. She seemed to be shaky, nervous, I could sense it.
"Latias…" I started, then sighed softly, before smiling. "Don't you think it's a little…soon for this?" I asked.
"Yeah…I know. And, I know that from what the girls have mentioned, you generally space this out more. But…use your emotional senses, on me." Latias placed her clawed hands on my cheeks, gently. I reached out with the power Mesprit granted me, and I felt it. The love Latias feels for me, it's strong…very, very strong. It made my heart feel…warm. "I know, you last had…ehem, two days ago. And, uh…we've only known each other for a little over two weeks, but…I want this. I really, really want this." Latias leaned in, capturing my lips in a soft, yet passionate, kiss.
"I wanna be yours, Zerrie. I'm sure of it. Please...?" She leaned into my hand when I caressed her cheek.
"Oh, honey…" I smiled. "Alright, if you're sure. I can feel it, what your heart desires…sorry if that sounds corny or something." I got a soft giggle.
"Use the contraceptive spell just to be safe, in case your DNA didn't fully change back." Latias said softly. I placed a hand on her belly, her face lighting up with a blush. She shuddered when I cast the spell on her, then, I cast it on myself. Latias gently brushed my sides with her hands, and I felt her slip them beneath my shorts. A brief flare of her psychic power undid them, and as they slid down, her face lit up with a blush.
"Oh…so that's…" Latias mumbled. I felt a soft squeeze, as she grasped my cock with a telekinetic grip, not wanting to use her claws and risk doing harm. She lowered herself so she could reach, while using her powers to mimic as though she was rubbing with one of her hands. She then leaned in, gently nuzzling me, before starting to place soft kisses up its length. A low purr worked its way out of my throat, which caused Latias to smile softly at me.
"Here, turn around for me." I said to her. Latias blushed, but did as I said, lowering herself onto my body and getting comfortable. She looked back at me, blushing as she revealed her pussy, then shifted her focus. I felt her tongue gently travel up the length of my cock, starting from the base, before she took it into her mouth with a soft moan. To my surprise, she took it all the way in on her first go, earning her a low moan from myself.
And while she set to work, I wrapped my arms around her to keep her secure, then leaned up to give her a series of soft kisses, before I started with softer licks. A muffled moan met my ears, and Latias increased her pace. I replied by doing the same, causing her muffled moans to grow louder. This lasted for a few minutes, Latias letting out a faint "hah" as she pulled away, panting softly.
"Did you really go that deep on the first go?" I asked softly.
"Y-yeah…I…thought you'd like it." She admitted. "I might've been…curious, on some nights, when I lived in Alto Mare. So I've…seen a thing or two."
"Do you want to keep going?" I asked her. She nodded back at me, letting out a squeak as I went back to work.
"Can I just…let you…do that? I can't focus, while you're…busy." Latias moaned between words. I gave her a small thumbs up, earning a soft giggle. She had a nice sweetness to her. Stronger than the other girls by a fair bit. "Mmmhh~" She moaned. "Zerrie…your tongue, it…mmm…it feels so good…" Latias slowly closed her eyes, panting and moaning softly as I pressed more with my tongue. With Latias being a dragon, like Kaorah, I figured she'd appreciate if I used the same amount of effort.
From the sounds Latias was making, it seems like I was right to do so. I had closed my eyes, tightening my hold with my arms and pressing a little bit harder with my tongue. Occasionally closing my lips on the sensitive little nub that I found, earning loud gasps or quiet squeaks in response. Breaking up the pattern of Latias moaning. Her moans, themselves, were soft with a high pitch to them. Honestly, I think she might have the best ones. Beating even Lexie's English, or I guess, Galarian accent.
"Oooh…oh yes…oh yesss…mmm~" Latias gently squeezed my legs with her hands, having braced herself. She was being super careful with her claws, and had to even shift so that she wouldn't risk scratching me. "It…feels…so…good…! Fuck!" Latias squeaked, a steady stream of juices squirting from her pussy as she began to shudder. I tightened my hold, continuing my licks as Latias rode out an abrupt orgasm. Her moans seeming to echo through the quiet night.
As her orgasm faded, her weight settled onto me a bit more as her levitation faded. She looked back, her gaze carrying a strong sense of love which seemed even stronger with my emotion sensing. She was panting, fighting to catch her breath.
"That…hah…was…amazing." She panted. It wasn't long before she shifted off, moving to settle between my legs as I sat up. She had turned to face towards me, as well. When she saw the wetness on my face, and hair, she blushed. "S-sorry. I didn't know about-"
"Don't worry about it." I interrupted, booping her snout with my fingers. "If you've been talking with Melanie…" I gave Latias a soft, loving kiss, letting her taste herself on my lips. We separated after a short time. "Then you'd know what I think about squirting." I watched her blush deepen, but she smiled. She then lowered her head, nuzzling my cock and smiling, before beginning to slowly trail kisses up its length again. I let out a low moan when she took it into her mouth. Much like before, she took it all the way in when she began to move.
I placed a hand on her head, gently guiding her movements, helping to make sure she was doing it properly. Sure she might've watched some stuff, but that's very different to actual experience. What it tells me for sure though, is her lack of a gag reflex. I gently rubbed the top of her head with my fingers, when I wasn't guiding her.
My soft moans and growls slowly began to grow louder, the longer Latias went on. She had to stop for a breath on occasion, but I didn't mind. Especially since she always went right back to it, as soon as she could. Using soft kisses between breaths to make sure she didn't lose any progress. Before too long, I felt my building release. And, with a low growl, I finally held her head down. Her eyes snapped open, widening as I flooded her mouth and throat with my seed. She was quick to recover, managing to swallow it, but she coughed when she pulled away.
"Should've…known…there would be…a lot." She panted softly.
"You OK?" I asked her.
"Yeah, I'll…be fine…hah." She floated up off the ground, then I felt her pull my shorts off. Her blush had faded, but it began to return. "Now, um…as far as…back there, well…" I stood up while she was talking, and she shifted position, making use of her levitation to shift into a loving embrace. I started to rub my cock against her pussy, earning a soft moan. "Be slow, gentle. I've never…until tonight."
"I will, don't worry. Just remember, relax. Relax, and enjoy it." Just to be safe, I applied a little bit of lubricant, from a bottle I started keeping in my inventory. And, once I was ready, I lined myself up, then slowly, began to push. Pulling her closer as I did, earning a sharp gasp and a low, soft moan. Latias was very tight, much more than the other girls, even Solais, on the first go.
I purred softly as I felt the squeeze from Latias's virgin pussy. There wasn't anything to break, much like the other girls on their first time, but Latias was still very tight. I pushed all the way, purring softly. Then, I began to pull back out, but shifted it into another slow push, back in. Latias began to match my low moans with her own as I started to settle into a slow rhythm.
"Ooohh." Latias met my gaze with her own, a soft smile briefly forming on her face, before she pressed her forehead against mine. Her moans mixing well with my quiet growls and purring. Not once did Latias ask for me to speed up, yet her moans steadily grew louder. I didn't mind, of course, as I'm more than happy to let her enjoy this.
I wonder if there's any difference between making love and just having sex. I mean, sure, right now, it definitely qualifies as the former. Slow pace, just enjoying how the other feels. The pulse of love I'm sensing from Latias every time I do a slow thrust is proof of that. Latias captured my lips, bringing me into a series of soft, tender kisses.
When it wasn't sharing kisses, it was getting lost in the other's eyes, or enjoying the pleasure from our movements. Latias had begun to move, syncing up with my own movements. Her soft, high pitched moans beginning to grow louder. Her embrace tightening with every few seconds, the feeling of love that pulsed off of her growing stronger. As, she drew closer to her climax. She wasn't the only one, as I began to feel the signs of a building release. Signs which she caught, as well. I continued, our mixed moans growing louder with each of our movements.
"T-together…" Latias squeaked. And just as she began to reach her climax, she captured my lips once more, in a deep, passionate kiss. I felt her clamp down, squeezing my cock as I started to cum, a low growl rumbling from my throat. Although muffled by the kiss, my ears still caught it. I continued, slow and steady as Latias and I rode out our shared climax. I felt her shuddering, felt as she squirted once again, despite our slow pace. We separated from our kiss, panting softly as we slowed to a stop.
A quick pulse of the same spell Melanie used to scan Lexie, told me that the contraceptive spell wasn't needed, but did its job anyway. Confirming that my two forms are fully separate, so my human form is safe to use, even if one of the girls is in heat. I slowly pulled out, but kept Latias in the embrace for a little longer, until she began to pull away.
"I love you, Zerrie." She said, breaking the momentary silence.
"I love you too, Latias." I said back. "Let's go get ourselves cleaned up, then get some rest." I got a quiet nod of agreement. We took a bit of time with the shower to just relax, before eventually getting out and heading for bed, where we both snuggled up together. Latias was first to fall asleep, with a soft smile on her face. It wasn't long until I joined her, either.
Notes:
Yeah, Latias's human transformation. I figured she'd make up a custom one, since she no longer stays in Alto Mare, so she wouldn't have to make herself look like Bianca anymore. Thought Zephyr's Harrier vest would be a nice fit.
Hope the Calamity fans here liked that little cameo I gave Anahita. I mean, how could I not let her appear in a chapter with an aquarium scene? Especially with just how amazing her song is. Also, Jessica is the name of my Terrarian character. The first one I ever made. Keep in mind, Anahita's appearance is just a one-off thing. There won't be any fights against her or any of the Calamity bosses.
Oh, and, Latias not only confessing, but getting a sweet little love scene of her own. Maybe a bit sooner than expected, but I think it's fine, either way. Latias is definitely the sort to enjoy slow, lovey stuff, like in this chapter. Despite how enthusiastic she normally seems to be.
