A/N: Another sudden Huohuo fic~ Thought I'd get this one out since it fits with the spooky month theme~

Inspired partly from that one advert where Huohuo tries courage training with Mr. Tail~

Do enjoy~

Hold Me Tight

Caelus had a lot of free time on his hands.

Technically speaking anyways. He had free reign to do whatever on the Astral Express but food wasn't infinite and goodwill only went so far, thus it fell to him and the others to complete commissions and whatnot, mainly on the Luofu. While Belobog was mostly self-sufficient and Penacony was private about their deeper affairs the Luofu was so multicultural that they had no qualms with accepting an outsider to do their bidding.

Which involved fighting Denizens of Abundance, finding lost Cycranes and occasionally meeting one of his friends and teaming up to solve some mystery or other. Ultimately it was a lot more banal than it sounded but the jobs paid well, and with that good pay it allowed him the free time to relax and hang out with his friends, be it Serval from Belobog to Silver Wolf in Penacony, to even his friends on the Luofu. Such as Huohuo.

''So it's a snowy planet, then?''

Caelus hummed his agreement and brought the straw to his lips, taking a slow drink of his Space Soda – which, contrary to the name, tasted more like cola than space, unfortunately. ''Belobog is covered in it all the time. Upside is that it's good for making snowmen. Downside is that it's dangerously cold all the time.''

''I-I can imagine.'' Huohuo nodded hastily and took a sip of her own drink. The way she held her cup close to her chest was just endearing but he withheld such teasing comments. For now at least. ''We don't really get snow on the Xianzhou Luofu – artificial snow, yes, but I've heard it's not quite the same.''

''That so?'' Caelus mused. ''Maybe I should drag you to Belobog sometime then. Let you get a taste of some real snow.''

''T-That'd be nice, but my work never really ends...''

''Eh, I can teleport us there and be back in an hour, it's no biggie.''

Huohuo smiled and whispered her thanks, cheeks flushed an adorable pink even as she took another long drink – the suction of her straw permeating the quiet atmosphere. Even though they were sitting just next to one of the main streets the atmosphere was relatively quiet – the general hubbub somewhat quieter than usual, though it was never silent in a place like Starskiff Haven. Least of all as the Starskiffs flew overhead, their engines thrumming or roaring depending on type, the noises all blending to form a rather nice ambience.

It wasn't often he and Huohuo got to meet up – her duties as a Judge often kept her busy and while she was able to evade it during the Ghost Hunting expeditions, now that they were over she was perpetually drowning in work. Thankfully Hanya was able to cover for her and alleviate some of her burden from time to time, enabling them to have these small afternoon meetings – on one of her rare days off, too.

''...I think I'd like to see it sometime.'' Huohuo broke the quiet meekly. ''A-After I get some warmer clothes though. Tail might need some too.''

''Does he even feel the cold?''

''He says he does, though whether it affects him or not beyond that I'm not sure.'' The Foxian girl admittedly, going for another sip only to frown when she realised he drink was empty now. ''Hrn...''

'Cute.' He couldn't help but smile. Whether she was pouting or happy or terrified, Huohuo was just an adorable bundle of wholesomeness in his eyes.

As if sensing his thoughts Huohuo suddenly blushed and looked aside, timid for a few moments before finally returning her gaze onto him. ''U-Um... by the way...''

''Hm?''

''I was wondering if you were free tonight – t-to help me with, um...'' Fidgeting Huohuo looked at her lap, ''...training my confidence...''

''Er... how, exactly?'' This didn't involve dangling her over a cliff, did it?

''Mr. Tail suggested I watch a bunch of spooky movies to help me build my courage, but um...'' If at all possible she bowed her head lower, ''...I'm too scared to...''

Caelus chuckled sheepishly and stroked her back. ''Sure, sounds good. Want me to bring some snacks?''

''That'd be nice.'' With a shyness he'd come to expect from Huohuo the Foxian smiled up at him. ''Thank you, Caelus!''

''Haha, don't mention it. I'm sure you'll manage it once you try it.''

X-x-X

Night came fast, and one trip to the sweet store later Caelus arrived at Huohuo's house, chatted a bit, got settled – and her 'courage training' began.

About as well as one might expect.

''Hiii~!''

Huohuo's terrified wail echoed off of the walls of her quaint little home, shrill and girlish as she buried her face in his side, hiding herself from the ghoulish nun on the TV screen. With a chuckle Caelus wrapped his arm around her and petted her back, his eyes on the TV even as he took another handful of sour candy strips and popped them in his mouth.

The movie was definitely a cheesier one. It had some good scary scenes, some nice set-up, but it was pretty damn clear they were using CGI to stretch the actor's mask or make them blur about – it looked so fake it was hard to take it seriously. For Huohuo though, who had a fear tolerance that could be measured in the negative, a simple jumpscare was petrifying – a fact reinforced as she whimpered into his side, daring to peek only when the scene changed to the characters running down a narrow church corridor.

''There there.'' He rubbed small circles on her back, smiling. ''The evil nun is gone now.''

Huohuo pouted at the babyish talk, about to speak – when another jumpscare made her squeal and hide behind his back. ''M-Maybe we should try a less scary movie!''

''This one isn't that scary though?'' Caelus would admit to getting chills or flinching at certain scenes, but beyond that it was too cheesy to be fully immersed in.

Huohuo whimpered at that, shifting out from behind his back nervously – eyes shifting from the TV to the bowl of sweets offered, several gummy snakes quickly swiped up and nibbled upon. The pair of them were situated on her couch with bowls of sweets on his left so they didn't get knocked over, though the chilly winds had prompted Huohuo to drag a spare blanket over them, making it almost cosy with just the two of them under the thick quilt.

Though that cosiness didn't stop Huohuo from behind scared – if anything it just gave her an excuse to stuff her face under the blanket. Something which she did a mere moment later, bleating as she pulled the covers up as much as possible without exposing her feet to the cold, her eyes barely peeking over the quilt's edge at the TV. By now though the jump-scares had waned for a moment as the protagonists went about solving an ancient puzzle, giving Huohuo some much-needed time to calm herself.

''Maybe I should get you a stress ball or something to squeeze when you get scared.'' Caelus couldn't help but tease.

Huohuo pouted up at him. ''Don't be mean.''

''Hehe, sorry, sorry.''

The Foxian's pout remained though for a few moments more before her cheeks darkened and her lips pursed, preluding the stuttered question that followed. ''M-Maybe I'd be better if I was... sat on your lap...?''

Her voice cracked and grew quiet near the end, shyness crippling her. Caelus felt his cheeks warm too but ultimately shrugged; smiling as casually as he could. ''If it makes you feel better, sure.''

Huohuo perked up at that and when he offered a hand she gladly took it, meek but a tiny bit more confidence as she shifted onto his lap. She was as light as a feather and due to her short height he could peek over her just barely, though looking past her was easier. Her tail tickled his stomach but since Mr. Tail didn't come barging out to complain he assumed the Heliobus must still be sleeping. It was that sentiment that made him wrap his arms around Huohuo's stomach, pulling the small Foxian in until she was comfortably nestled in his lap.

The closeness was embarrassing but he endured it for her sake, especially as the horror part of the movie kicked off once more – the nun returning and slowly giving chase, teleporting from doorway to doorway with phantom hands bursting out from the boards covering the hole-riddled walls. Huohuo tensed but he squeezed her slightly, the simple act stopping her from tearing her eyes away from the movie. Coupled with the quilt pulled over them and it felt quite cosy indeed.

Though as she shifted and squirmed he couldn't help but notice how she rubbed her butt into his crotch. It wasn't intentional of course and he passed no comment but the more she did it the harder it was to ignore, his focus gradually leaving the movie and shifting to Huohuo's butt. Her small, perky butt that unknowingly grinded back into his crotch, the pressure gentle and squirming but making his blood rush south all the same, his dick growing erect from the stimulation.

An erection Huohuo soon noticed. ''Um, Caelus...?''

Caelus felt his cheeks warm and looked aside. ''Sorry.''

Huohuo was quiet for a second, only the noise of the movie to permeate the quiet – before she rubbed back against him. This time though it wasn't shy squirming but much more intentful, her hips rolling slowly but meaningfully and pushing her butt back against his erection. Caelus felt his mouth grow dry and was left bereft of words, wondering for a moment if she realised what she was doing. A prospect confirmed as Huohuo meekly peeked back at him, face hot but a demure want in her eyes.

Yet still she said nothing. Maybe she was too embarrassed to admit to what she was doing, maybe she was waiting for him to speak first, maybe she just didn't know what to say. All he knew was that Huohuo was grinding her butt on him and he liked it, his pants feeling achingly tight and his arms subconsciously winding around her tighter too; holding her close as he dared to rock his hips too. The slow roll did little to grant him relief from the building pressure in his cock but it felt good all the same, his breathing growing a little huskier as he did it again.

And once more Huohuo didn't protest, didn't speak. With one eye peeking back at him she continued to grind on him, her plush behind pushing with more firmness and his thrusts with a little more force, enough to make the friction more real. Huohuo whimpered at that and he slowed but the Foxian immediately picked up the pace, her sole visible eye gleaming with nervous want as she put more effort into grinding.

''...does it feel good...?'' Soon she whispered out.

Caelus swallowed. ''Y-Yeah...''

Huohuo slowed then, glancing first at the movie as it played out a dramatic reading of some ancient text – before she sat up. The quilt draped over them shifted but she held onto it so it didn't slip off fully; leaving it draped over his thighs as she turned to face him. With how close she was he could see every little flit of emotion on her face; the intense embarrassment, the endearing hope, the unsure slowness. All of which combined into her speech; her words demurely spoken.

''M-Maybe this could help me...?''

His dick, clothed beneath layers of material, twitched at the mere implication. ''Huohuo...''

Huohuo flashed him a smile. It was a small, fragile thing but one so sincere it left his face feeling hot. She shifted, the gentle hiss of cloth punctuating the brief quiet... and then her lips met his. It was a slight kiss; small, tender and more a peck than a smooch, but one that Caelus tentatively reciprocated. She pulled back quickly and her eyes avoided his but when he shifted his hand onto her back she met his eyes once more, hesitation slowing her for only a second.

And then she closed the distance, another, truer kiss pressing their lips together. Hers felt so small and soft compared to his own that he eased into the kiss without protest, a myriad of feelings rising up within him as his other hand settled on her hip, pressing her shorts against her flesh. She whimpered into the kiss but didn't dislike it; her hands cupping his cheeks and deepening the kiss, drawing this moment out for as long as possible.

Ultimately though the need to breathe drew their lips apart, a slow exhale shared as they looked at each other, faces hot and hearts pounding.

''I really like you.'' The admission was breathy yet quick, her gulp audible even as a piano sting came from the TV – the noise entirely ignored as he stared into Huohuo's paw-printed eyes. ''E-Ever since we worked together with the others, back in Fyxestroll Garden I um... I...''

Words failed her as her confidence, brief as it was, waned – but Caelus understood enough. He swallowed the lump in his throat and settled his hands on her hips, holding her close and bringing her in close, a light kiss touching her lips.

''Same.'' Was his lame but still honest reply. ''Never really said anything since you're always so busy but... yeah.''

Huohuo's smile was shy but bright. ''Ehe, hearing that makes me happy...''

Caelus returned the smile and after only a second of hesitation Huohuo leaned in, her soft lips meshing against his own. Just kissing the petite Judge was so pleasant he practically melted into it; his lips mashing against her own and devouring her demure mewl – and a shudder spiked up his spine as she rocked her hips. The gentle friction on his erection though compelled his hips into motion too, their lewd motions coaxing a soft, shuddering moan out of the fox-girl.

Yet neither stopped to talk about it, stopped to ask if they were going too fast or if they should stop here. As if speaking about it would immediately ruin any chance of it happening. Thus without a word of it spoken Caelus held her hips more firmly, daring to grind up against Huohuo as the Foxian did the same, her shorts clinging to her crotch as she worked her narrow hips more earnestly – her breathing becoming heavier and only more so as their lips met in a chain of quick kisses.

Until Huohuo pulled back, panting, and grasped her shorts. She hesitated for a second but he laid one hand over hers, silently encouraging her to go ahead and giving her the confidence to do so – sitting up and shoving her shorts down. Innocent white panties laid beneath with a jade trim, the crotch of her underwear visibly damp with arousal. Those same panties came down a mere moment later, allowing him to lay eyes on her wet nether lips, her desire abundantly clear in that moment.

''Y-You too...'' Huohuo whispered out – flinching as a scream echoed from the TV behind them.

She didn't take her eyes off of him though, her arousal granting her some immunity to the horror movie playing in the background, even as the music picked up and the characters ran for their lives. With a breathed agreement Caelus complied and unbuckled his pants in record time; soon tucking his thumbs into the waistband and shoving them down to his thighs. His boxers met the same fate and let his rock-hard erection spring out, achingly hard and even more so as Huohuo shifted in closer, her pussy grazing his shaft.

Before with a shallow breath she pressed herself against him, grinding on him. The motion was slow and shy but he grabbed her butt with both hands, pulling her in properly and groaning as her bare sex rubbed against his own – her wetness easily felt against his manhood. Huohuo whined too, her hands settling on his shoulders and her knees shifting slightly, making it easier for her to rock her hips; each roll smoother than the last and building momentum.

''A-Ah... Caelus, it... myn~'' Huohuo whimpered with pleasure, her expression so adorably submissive – so adorably horny. ''It feels good...''

Caelus breathed an agreement, his cock throbbing mightily as the Foxian rubbed herself on his shaft, pushing herself against his manhood and slipping her way along it, the heat of her core felt as she pushed herself against it. His own hips rose to meet hers and pressed their parts together, no penetration but just quick, slippery friction to take their breaths away. More than once Huohuo rode too high and his tip just-barely grazed her entrance, the riskiness of accidentally penetrating her only exciting them both more.

Groping her cute butt he helped pull her in, his eyes leaving their nether regions and returning to her face – and on impulse darted in for a kiss. Huohuo squeaked first then mewled second into it; shoulders slumping with relief even as she reciprocated, their lips fitting together perfectly and encouraging them to keep it up – drawing the kiss out until the need to breathe forced them apart, panting and shivering.

It felt like heaven, kissing and grinding with Huohuo. But his cock ached for more.

More which Huohuo gave; her grinding slowing until she came to a stop, leaving them both shivering from the overstimulation. Yet with a cute grunt she sat up on her knees and leaned against him, face hot but her brow dipped with the barest hint of determination, one hand grasping his cock and lining it up with her womanhood. He held her close, keeping her steady as she eased herself back, his tip pressing against her sopping entrance and sinking in.

And then pleasure struck like a thunderbolt as he sunk inside of Huohuo's tight, drenched pussy. A moan forced itself from his throat and a whimper from Huohuo's; any pain she felt muted by the overwhelming rush of pleasure that overstimulated her mind. She eased herself deeper, her tight walls clenching around his manhood and squeezing him so tight it felt like heaven; grunts forcing themselves from his throat as he blindly stroked her hips or groped her butt, soothing her as best he could.

Huohuo though needed only a moment, her breathing erratic but quick as she lifted herself up – and with a moan impaled herself back onto his dick, wedging herself deeper onto his cock. The unyielding grip of her pussy left him bereft of higher thought and all Caelus could do was groan and lift his own hips, pushing himself deeper into the Foxian's soaked cunt, her insides so hot, so wet, so tight that it felt like he might cum in an instant just from being inside of her.

''Ahh... C-Caelus~'' Huohuo whined out, big paw-print eyes peering at him.

Prompting him to cup her nape and drag her into a messy kiss. She moaned freely into it, teeth parting at his prod and allowing his tongue to venture into her mouth – the kiss wild and tongue-filled as their appendages wrestled in her mouth, his easily dominating her own. Yet even as their tongues warred Huohuo got more confident with her hips, lifting herself up to his tip only to rut back down onto him, accepting more and more of his dick between her folds until he was fully sheathed inside of her narrow pussy.

The primal satisfaction of being buried balls-deep in his lover just emboldened him; his hand leaving her nape and blindly grasping at her dress. Her own hands hurriedly joined in and between the two of them they got her dress opened up; several ornaments left on the couch or tossed to the floor and allowing it to part fully for him –revealing Huohuo's torso. From her flat, taut belly to her slim waist and small, demure breasts. She was gorgeous.

A thought that tempted his hands up her sides and to her breasts, kneading the small hills and coaxing a whine out of Huohuo – one muffled by a kiss. Snaking her arms around his nape Huohuo leaned into the kiss happily, her moans muffled by the lip-lock even as she switched to grinding on his cock – hips rocking in short back-forth motions that left her tightening around his manhood, every clench so intense he was left bucking his hips, rutting himself up into her.

''Huohuo...'' Caelus groaned out needily.

Huohuo breathed a shaky agreement, her hips lifting as she swapped back to bouncing on his cock – the fleshy smack of their thighs joined by the slick squelch of their union, her nectar lubing his cock as she impaled herself on it. Her thighs shook and her bounces grew hurried, doing wonders to emphasise her chest – the small bounces lovely to watch even as his hands returned to her hips, helping yank her down onto his swollen cock-!

When Huohuo clamped tightly around him and he couldn't hold it any longer, pressure surging – and with a gasp Caelus busted his load inside of Huohuo. Her insides seized around his length and the Foxian buried her face in his shoulder, wailing as she came alongside him and blindly grinding herself onto his cock as she climaxed. The tight grip deprived him of sense, his mind high on bliss as he emptied his balls inside of Huohuo's tight tunnel, every squeeze milking him dry for all his seed.

Then all at once he came down from cloud nine – a groan reflexively lurching from his throat as he relaxed back against the couch. Huohuo whined and nuzzled herself into him, her hot panting breaths washing over his shoulder and tickling his bare skin, enticing him to run a hand up her back and stroke it soothingly, the act earning him a little whimper from his cum-filled partner.

''Hah... Huohuo...'' Caelus breathed, nuzzling her head and inhaling her scent.

The Foxian mewled at that and drew her head out from his shoulder, locking eyes with him for all of a second before leaning in for a kiss. The ensuing smooch was slow and romantic, lasting only a few seconds but leaving both blushing deeply regardless, the movie in the background now entirely ignored. Doubly so as he held her hips and shifted them to the side, a moan escaping his lover as he shifted both of them onto their sides – the bowls of sweet clumsily pushed aside or onto the floor, allowing Huohuo to lay down on her back.

Caelus was atop her in a heartbeat, their lips reconnecting in another deep kiss that left the Foxian whining, her hands pawing at his shoulders before wrapping around his nape. Despite the movement his cock remained snugly buried inside of the petite Foxian, throbbing against her clenching walls and soon coaxing a whine out of his partner as he reared his hips back, slowly pulling out inch by inch.

Right before he pistoned back inside. ''Mm~!''

Groaning in bliss Caelus pressed himself atop Huohuo, squashing the fox-girl into the couch even as his hips started to piston forth – slowly at first but with every thrust faster than the last, sheathing his manhood between her tight lips and in her searing depths. His movements were sloppy and stirred about the creampie he'd given her but in that moment the messiness just made it hotter, their grunts and groans intermixing to form their own little song.

Due to the height difference between them it made kissing a bit more awkward but they made do – her hands cupping his cheeks and drawing his lips down to hers, their moans briefly muffled before become audible once more when they broke apart for air. Rather than lean in for another kiss Caelus buried his face in her hair, groaning against her head as he picked up the pace – rutting his swollen, sensitive cock deep into Huohuo and making her cry out in delight, her thighs pressing against his hips.

''A-Ah! Y-Yes!''

The little cry of encouragement just made him pump into her more, his cock plunging between her wet lips and stuffing her tight pussy to the brim, some excess cum oozing out around his shaft as if making room for the next creampie. The thought just propelled his hips into further motion; his cock scraping her wet walls and kissing her innermost parts with every rough thrust, the smack of their flesh loud and their body heat radiating back at them with the quilt half-drawn over them.

He didn't bother to push it off though, simply snaking one arm under Huohuo to hold her close. She replied by locking her legs around him as best she could; her heels bouncing against his lower back with every thrust – fucking whines and cries out of the horny Foxian and leaving her clutching onto him for dear life, her needy pussy clenching around his manhood and squeezing the groans out of him.

''Hya~! Ah~! Mya~!'' The adorable yelps he fucked out of her only made him fuck her more – a wild need propelled him forth to pound her into the couch.

A pounding Huohuo loved judging by her cries, her insides tightening around his length and leaving him panting for breath; groans emptying his lungs just as quickly as he filled them. Pressure mounted yet still he drilled Huohuo into the cushions, the slapping of flesh rising in tempo along with the Foxian's cries, each note louder than the last, her pitch cracking into a wail-!

And then he came, slamming into Huohuo one final time and blowing his load inside of her. The sudden creampie pushed her over the edge, her insides seizing like a vice around his shaft and wringing him for every spurt of seed she could – their bucking bodies extending their climax for a precious few seconds, their highs dragged out until it all became too much.

Culminating in a groan from Caelus as he collapsed atop his partner, panting hard and still holding Huohuo close, her heavy breaths felt as her chest heaved against his own. ''Frick...''

Huohuo whined in reply, insides twitching around his softening cock as he pulled out – though he lacked the strength to roll off of her. Huohuo though didn't seem to mind and cosied herself into him, her breathing gradually regaining its rhythm as did his own.

Until eventually Caelus was able to push himself onto his side, allowing Huohuo to roll onto her side and snuggle into him, her breathing gradually easing.

''...thank you...'' Huohuo whispered out then, snuggling into his chest. ''Being with you like this... makes me so happy.''

Caelus smiled warmly and ran his fingers through her hair, kissing her forehead. ''Do you feel less scared now?''

The teasing jab made her blush, but nod with a smile.

Which was when Mr. Tail manifested behind her and barked, startling a shriek out of Huohuo.

Her form shivering against Caelus's own even as Mr. Tail cackled in delight, proving that Huohuo had, in fact, not overcome her fears.

One step at a time, he could only sigh as he petted her head.
