Kila's POV Three Days After the Epilogue
"Compa's staying with Neptune tonight right?" I asked Julio who sipped a soda. It was about six and it was just us in Compa's apartment on her couch. Julio had recovered enough to the point he was able to go do work in the Guild while Neptune dealt with her work as the CPU and Compa went to school again. I had been doing Guild work as well and sometimes partnered with Julio or even IF. We all alternated to see Neptune got work done though.
"Yeah. She got quite a bit of work today according to Compa so they're gonna have to say the night over." Julio answered. "So...It's just us and Purin." He said reaching down and petting said dogs head to her delight. I smiled at that and he noticed.
"...If you're up for it we can have some fun later but let's just enjoy the peace and quiet." He said wrapping an arm around my shoulders and I leaned against him enjoying his warmth and sturdiness that brought me comfort and I needed it since it's been hard to sleep lately. No matter how hard I tried it was rough and I was thinking of getting some medicine to try and help. Julio then began to pet my ears softly and gently causing me to sigh as I let him as it felt soothing and I pressed my face into his chest.
"We haven't had some alone time in a bit huh?" Julio asked. "Well, alone time where we can just sit down and enjoy each other's company."
"Yeah...It's nice." I muttered into his chest, letting out a small yawn.
"You're really tired huh?" Julio asked in concern. "Have you been sleeping?"
"Yes." I answered. It was true I had been sleeping just not well. He must have realized that and asked again.
"Been sleeping well?" Julio specified and I fell silent. He'd notice I was lying immediately.
"...No." I answered.
"Wanna talk about it?" He asked, though his tone said it wasn't a request.
"...I've just been finding it rough to sleep is all...No big deal." I said lifting my head.
"Babe...I can figure out why." He said gently placing a hand on my cheek and I leaned against his warm hand. "It's been bothering you that bad hasn't it...The idea that less then a week ago you were dead would bother anyone."
"...It's been hard alright? I get nightmares when I fall asleep because I see him putting that hole in my chest and it terrifies me." I admitted.
"Why didn't you say anything?" Julio asked. "You know you can talk to me."
"I just didn't want to add another thing for you to worry about." I muttered and Julio lightly pulled my ears causing me to yelp. "H-Hey!"
"What was it you told me in the hot spring?" Julio asked with a small frown. "You're gonna worry about me because you love me and that goes for me as well. I love you so I'm gonna worry about you." I looked down at that. It was true.
"...I'm sorry." I muttered leaning against him and he gently rubbed my back.
"There's no need to apologize about this. You went through something that not many people can say they have. You died and came back to life and understandably you're finding it rough to deal with it." Julio said gently. "...To be honest I've been having a hard time dealing with it as well."
"Why?" I asked, pulling back to look him in the eyes.
"I failed to protect you." Julio answered simply. "Me not being strong enough forced you to take a hit you shouldn't have had to take. Just because you came back doesn't change that."
"That's not your fault. I made the call." I said softly.
"Doesn't change the fact you wouldn't have had to if I had been strong enough." Julio said. "I know you want me to feel otherwise but I can't."
"...How would you be if I stayed dead?" I asked worried.
"If you hadn't come back I would have fallen into depression for sure." Julio answered honestly and I fell silent. "I know Compa and Neptune would be there for me but there's no way I'd be able to move on for a long time." Julio admitted as he gently ran his hands through my hair. "But you're alive so I'm good. I blame myself for you dying but I can move on from that because you're back. Right now, my focus is helping you move on...So, if there's anything I can do to help you...Just let me know." I fell silent at that.
"...Just hold me for a while." I muttered and pressed my face into his chest and hugged him tightly and he did the same and we both laid down on the couch and I took in a breath as he held me and let it out before falling asleep for a bit with him stroking my hair. I wasn't asleep that long maybe thirty minutes or so before I woke back up feeling a little better. It took a bit for me to fully wake up but when I did I took in a breath and leaned forward to his ear. "Tonight can you just spend time with me? Just make me feel loved." I whispered.
"Of course. I was going to regardless." He answered and kissed me softly before pulling away as his stomach growled and I giggled and he smiled. "There's that beautiful smile." Julio said as I got off him. "Wanna get some dinner?"
"Sure. Here or out?" I asked.
"Out. It's still early plus we're not exactly solid cooks." Julio said and I giggled at that. He had tried to cook something once and it was a disaster so bad we almost had to call the fire department so we all agreed to just let Compa handle the cooking. I could cook basic things but I was nowhere near as good a chef as Compa can so I didn't really mind.
"Alright let's go get changed." I said as we had showered not too long ago since we had done a monster killing quest and were left pretty sweaty. He got off the couch and we walked over to Compa's room. I walked over to my bag and began to look over an outfit to wear. I was curious if I should go full on sexy or casual. Julio would probably prefer somewhere in between so I decided to go that route. I picked out a red tank top and a white top that was on the tighter side but not low cut along with my black jacket before choosing a black skirt that went to my thighs along with red thigh highs because I knew he loved them and would just wear my black boots. I slipped off my top and short shorts and snuck a glance and smirked noticing him staring and he quickly looked away. "Oh, come on I noticed and you know it. It's fine to stare after all you've seen everything my body has to offer and experienced my body personally." I said smiling at him softly and he chuckled at that.
"Guess you have a point." He said.
"Don't I get to have fun?" A familiar voice asked.
"I haven't heard from you in a while." I thought back as I slipped on my skirt and sat on the bed to put my thigh highs on.
"You getting brainwashed put me out of commission for a while. Then you died and I took a bit for me to get used to being alive again." Cila replied and I winced at that as I slid them on. "It's fine. Just don't let that crap happen again."
"I won't. Don't worry. I'll let you switch in after a bit into the date." I promised and put my tank top on.
"You better." She growled and I felt her presence disappear and I smiled. It was nice to hear her again. She was essentially another me but she was still a good friend. I put my top on and fixed my hair before looking at Julio who had dark jeans and socks on and was grabbing his red shirt when I saw the scars on his body and got up causing him to notice as I walked over.
"Yeah?" He asked and I gently ran my hand over the scars on his chest. He had gained more from his bout with Kobura. When I was brought back the hole in my chest had healed not leaving a scar but here he was the scars from his two bouts with Kobura prominent along with the ones he got from the Killachine.
"You have more." I muttered.
"Yeah, that battle fucked me up." Julio said with a small smile. "Least I didn't lose another limb." He joked but I didn't laugh. "Look don't worry too much. They're just scars and you won't see most of them too often anyways."
"I guess." I muttered as he slid his shirt on covering them but leaving the red veins on his synthetic left arm visible and the scars on his right arm but they were quickly covered by his usual red jacket with the symbol of Planeptune on it.
"Gloves or no gloves?" He asked.
"No gloves." I answered and he nodded placing them down on the dresser before picking his usual red and black shoes that he put on and I quickly placed my boots on. Julio glanced over at me.
"Looking good as usual." He said with a smile and I smiled back.
"Oh, looking good comes easy sweetie." I said playfully. "Oh, yeah Cila's back and wants in on the date so expect me to switch in with her."
"Alright." Julio said with a smile. He had gotten a lot more used to her. "It's been a while, huh?"
"Yeah since before we went into the Quartet's dungeon." I said before realizing something. "Actually looking at it the dungeon wasn't that far back barely more than a week."
"Yeah. Just feels longer." Julio said as we exited Compa's room before walking to Purin who was laying in her dog bed. He kneeled down and scratched her head. "We'll be back girl. There's food and water in your bowls and use that pad if you have to use the bathroom." She barked as if saying okay and Julio smiled. "Good girl." He said and got to his feet before we exited the apartment and Julio locked it before slipping his hand into mine as we walked to exit the apartment building.
A Few Minutes Later
"So, where do you plan on taking me?" I asked as we entered the main part of the city. Julio had put on a pair of black framed glasses that actually made him look different somehow to hide his identity as many came up to him for autographs whenever he went out in public.
"Just a little restaurant. I did a job for the owner and he said if I ever needed a table to call ahead." Julio explained. "I called yesterday to take you out since we haven't had a date in a while and was planning on talking to you afterwards but it happened earlier."
"Well, let's see how good this place is." I said as we continued to walk down the street.
Several Minutes Later
"Right this way." A waiter said leading me and Julio to a table a bit more away from others. We were in a rather nice restaurant that wasn't overly fancy. There was a good amount of people around but not a lot. We took our seats with Julio pulling out the chair for me which earned him a peck on the cheek and took our menus before the man spoke again. "What can I get you to drink?" We glanced over it before ordering.
"I'll take the lemonade." I said.
"I'll take the same." Julio said and the waiter nodded before heading off. We took a quick glance over the menu and decided what we were gonna get before we began to speak again.
"So, have you talked to your family about what happened?" Julio asked and I shook my head.
"No...I think this is something I should keep to our group of friends for now. I don't want to imagine how they'd react." I muttered knowing full well dad would want to kill Julio for me dying.
"...I think you should tell them." Julio said. "I know your dad will freak out at me but they deserve to know something like this. You are their daughter after all."
"I'll tell them eventually just not right now. Not until I've gotten better with dealing with it myself alright?" I asked and he nodded.
"Alright, just let me know when you're ready and I'll go with you." Julio said.
"Of course. I think I'd need you there to help plus…" I trailed off.
"I'd be fine with taking a punch." He said getting what I was going at. "It'll be fine. I doubt your dad would go too far."
"True. He knows if he tried to seriously hurt you I'd stop speaking to him for a while plus he'd have to deal with my mom scolding him for it." I said shrugging.
"So, nothing to worry about." Julio said giving me that goofy smile of his. I smiled back and then noticed the waiter returning with our drinks.
"Here you two go." He said handing us our drinks. "Are you ready to order?"
"Yes, we are." I said and we gave him our orders and he nodded before heading off. Julio then reached out and gently grasped my hand. His hand used to be softer but now it had gotten a bit rough but it still held the same warmth and strength. I looked at him and smiled. Yeah...I'll be fine.
A Couple of Hours Later
"That was nice." I said as we exited the restaurant. "The food was pretty good."
"Glad you enjoyed it. Wanna do anything else? It's not too late yet." Julio asked and I pondered what to do.
"...Let's head to the park. Just walk and enjoy being with each other." I said.
"Sure thing." Julio said taking my hand and we walked till we arrived at the park where we took a less traveled path to walk down to avoid others. It was nice being alone outside with him his hand in mine just enjoying each other's company. We eventually reached an area with a tree that we sat under and I leaned my head against his shoulder, letting out a sigh.. It was a bit chilly so I decided to wrap my tail around us and Julio let out his own sigh at it's softness.
"Hmm...Someone loves my tail." I said with a giggle.
"You know full well one of my favorite things to do is enjoy the fluff." He muttered and I giggled at that as he turned his head and lightly kissed my head. We sat there cuddled up to each other before a familiar voice spoke up.
"Aww this is cute but...My turn." I heard and I mentally sighed.
"Fine. You can have him for the rest of the time here and the way back." I thought.
"And I want some time in the bath I know you two will take and a round with him later tonight." Cila said.
"Round?" I asked trying to be innocent.
"Bitch I can tell you're craving it! But if you're really not I'll gladly have our lovable idiot to myself!" She growled.
"Alright, alright. Take over already." I exclaimed but smiled nonetheless. She's normally quieter and only took over in fights at times but now she was willingly coming out and even if it is only for Julio it made me happy to see her happier. "Hey, babe it's time to switch." Julio looked confused before realizing what I was saying and nodded.
"Alright, see you later tonight." He said pecking me on the lips and I closed my eyes before blacking out.
Cila's POV
"Feels nice to have control again." I thought to myself as I lifted my head from the idiot's shoulder. I rolled my shoulders before turning to look at him.
"Hey. Been a while." He said giving me that dumb smile of his. Before he could say anything else I pinned him against the tree and pressed my lips against his and kissed him roughly and he quickly responded by placing his hand on my hip to steady me as he kissed back. He eventually moved a hand to my tail and gently stroked it which sent shivers through me. I wasn't used to him touching my ears and tail frequently like Kila was so it felt particularly good for me to the point I moaned into his mouth. We continued until we needed to take a breath and pulled away breathing in air that we needed and I leaned my head onto his chest. "Missed you too." He said and I lightly smacked his chest at that.
"...I suppose I did as well." I said with a small smile.
"Where have you been?" He asked.
"Recovering. Kila being mind controlled fucked me up and her dying led to me having to help her mental state but she isn't aware of that." I answered.
"Wait, you've been helping her?" He asked.
"Yeah practically all of our lives. I've been messing around in her head and keeping particularly dark emotions down. Some got through and kept her from sleeping but she'd be far worse off if it wasn't for me." I explained. "...Don't tell her that though or so help me I will make sure you don't have another kid." I said giving him a glare but he simply smiled and pet my ears almost eliciting a happy sound from me but I restrained myself. He was calling my bluff.
"I won't. You should tell her but I'm not gonna push you." He said as he shifted slightly allowing me to get a bit more comfortable. "...Tsundere."
"Excuse you?!" I exclaimed glaring at him. "Don't you compare me to Noire!"
"I'm not. Just calling you what you are." He answered and I growled at that. He rolled his eyes at that still smiling. "Fine, fine. I'll stop calling you that but you know for a fact Kila would agree with me."
"...Shut up." I muttered knowing he was right.
"So, how much longer you wanna stay like this?" Julio asked.
"Just a bit." I answered pressing my face into his chest and he gently rubbed my back. "...Love you."
"Love you too." He replied chuckling as we laid there for a few more minutes before I eventually got off him and offered a hand he took before we began to walk back down the path we took as I held his hand. As we walked I looked at him sneakily to avoid him noticing and noticed he looked happy. It was a change from the early points of me joining his harem. He looked happy but I noticed there was some unease when I was in control. Now that was gone, replaced by a comfortable smile and look.
"Like what you see?" I heard and looked at him to see him looking at me with a smirk and I felt my face flush but I composed myself before answering.
"...You don't look uneasy anymore." I said and he blinked.
"Huh?" He asked confused.
"When I was typically in control you'd always look a bit uneasy as if you were unsure of me." I said.
"Did I make you feel bad?" He asked worried.
"No because I understood why. You had to get used to dating another girl in your girlfriend's body. Plus I noticed that you'd still look pretty happy despite the unease." I said giving him a small smile.
"Well yeah I enjoy spending time with you." He said. "Despite you being a tsun…" He trailed off when I began to glare. "Despite you being rather closed off at times you were still fun to be with plus you were pretty cute when I'd show you affection."
"...Glad to know." I said hiding a smile.
"See what I mean?" He teased noticing immediately. "Total tsundere." He said and I let go of his hand and sped my pace up huffing and he immediately began to apologize. "Wait, wait I was just teasing! I'm sorry!" He apologized and I slowed my pace allowing him to catch up. "Okay, I promise to not call you a tsundere again."
"You better." I grumbled as he took my hand again. "Just shut up and walk with me the rest of the way in silence." I said walking a little closer to him and he nodded giving me a kiss on my forehead before we continued on our way to the apartment.
A Few Minutes Later
"Alright, I'll talk to you later." I said to Julio as Kila was speaking up in my head. We had entered the apartment to find the dog sleeping in her bed and almost immediately Kila spoke up. "Kila wants to take back over."
"Alright." Julio said and kissed me briefly before keeping a grip on me as I blacked out.
Kila's POV
"Mmm…" I let out as I opened my eyes and rolled my shoulders and looked at Julio who was holding me. "Hey, sweetie."
"Hey, babe." He said letting me go.
"So, how'd you enjoy your time with her?" I asked mischievously.
"It was pretty nice...Is she listening?" Julio asked and I checked before shaking my head. "She was being a total tsundere."
"Did she get pissed when you called her that?" I asked.
"Oh, yeah." Julio said.
"Sometimes the truth hurts." I said shaking my head in fondness. I had called her it a couple of times myself and it would always lead to headaches because she'd make a ruckus in my head. "Anyways...What next?"
"Well...I actually have something for you." Julio said scratching his head. "Well, to be more specific I got something for you, Compa, and Neptune and was planning on giving it to you together but giving you yours now seems more appropriate." He said reaching into his pocket and pulling out a rectangular box. He opened it and revealed a silver necklace with a red gem and my eyes widened as it was beautiful.
"Oh...Sweetie this is gorgeous." I said. "And you said you have one for Neptune and Compa? How'd you afford this?"
"Well, I've had a lot saved up from all the missions I do plus my parents found out I was going to get something for you three and were very insistent on helping pay for it and on top of that the store I got this from gave me a discount despite me trying to say otherwise. Guess that's just the perks of saving Gamindustri." He answered as he took it out. "Want me to put it on?"
"Sure." I said and turned around lifting my hair up so he could put it on. He put it on and led me to Compa's room where I looked in the mirror.
"Looks amazing on you." He said with a smile.
"Thank you, I love it." I said. "Though I do admit when I saw you getting that box part of me was hoping you'd get on one knee." This caused him to blush heavily.
"U-Um let's hold off on that for another time in the future." He said embarrassed and I giggled.
"I'm just teasing. We definitely are a little early for that...Well then again you and Neptune do have a kid coming." I said.
"Kila...I do intend to propose one day...Just not right now." He answered truthfully. "If I'm gonna do it I wanna have something planned out."
"Well, I look forward to it." I said biting down my excitement and turned around to kiss him deeply before pulling away. "Say...We took short showers earlier and we are a bit dirty from cuddling in the park...Wanna take a bath?" I asked mischievously.
"Sure. I was going to suggest that myself." He answered and helped me take off the necklace and placed it back in the box before heading into the bathroom together.
A Few Minutes Later
"Hmm hmm." I hummed as I scrubbed Julio's back both of us naked. We had taken turns cleaning the other but Julio was very insistent we clean certain areas on our bodies ourselves. I was a tad upset but I pushed past it especially when he promised to let me clean his tail and that he'd clean my ears and tail. He had also tried to get me to put a towel on but I pulled my little pleading eyes and he caved. I then washed off the soap from his back and scooted back a bit. The bathtub was a bit small but it was large enough for us to move around each other. "Alright, time for this." I said gently reaching down to take his tail in one hand and I began to use the scrub I was using before on Julio's tail getting a small noise from him. His tail was even more sensitive then my ears and tail as his could outright paralyze him if pulled on too hard so I had to be careful. I was gentle as I rubbed it with soap to clean it. I always found it rather nice to clean his tail because it's different then cleaning my own. Plus his was a lot easier to clean and took less effort. Once I was done I slid back. "Okay, time to clean my ears and tail." I said and he scooted forward which gave me space to turn around. I felt him shift around and soon felt hi gently massage my ears causing me to sigh.
"Alright, let's get going." He said and began to wash the fur on my ears and tail gently before doing the process to clean my fur which sent bliss through my body.
"...This feels great." I heard and I smiled.
"I know right? He's great at this." I thought to Cila.
"I suppose so...Maybe I should take over more." She muttered.
"You're welcome too. You're apart of this harem as well don't forget that." I reminded her. "Plus, it'd help Compa and Neptune get more used to you."
"We'll see." Was her reply as we began to enjoy Julio washing our ears and tail until he stopped.
"Alright, we're good." Julio said as he washed the conditioner out of my fur. I then leaned back against his chest. "Um…"
"What? Don't like feeling my naked body leaning against you?" I teased.
"N-No. I really like it...Maybe a tad too much?" He said and I could tell what he was referring to as I felt something against me.
"Oh? Then how about I…" I trailed off and leaned forward and whispered into his ear softly and seductively. "...Take care of it?" I whispered and reached my hand under the water.
A Couple of Hours Later Cila's POV
"That felt...Amazing." I said to my boyfriend who looked tired. I had taken over a bit into it and after a talk with Kila she agreed to let me have control until we were ready to sleep. We were laying on Compa's bed under the blankets naked and snuggled up too each other.
"Yeah...You sure you're okay?" He asked worried. He had gotten very rough due to me and Kila pushing him and despite him clearly enjoying it he was still feeling guilty.
"Yes. A bit sore but we're fine. Don't forget we're strong too." I reminded him.
"Still I definitely shouldn't have been that rough." Julio said and I rolled my eyes and pecked his lips and rested my head on his chest with a smile.
"I'm slightly annoyed you won't stop worrying but it's cute so I'll let it slide." I said pressing against him and he responded by nibbling on my left fox ear sending a shiver down my spine as it felt good.
"Hey watch it. Unless you want to go another round." I said and he stopped. He likely didn't have the energy for it especially since he'd technically had to pleasure two women.
"So...Were you on anything?" He asked and I got what he was referring to.
"Kila said yes when I asked during it. Albeit reluctantly according to her." I answered.
"Good to know." Julio said. "Still just want the one kid for now."
"Well, there is the possibility of more than one you know." I said and he paled.
"Really hoping not. I mean I'll love them all the same but two babies at once? I think I'll go crazy." Julio muttered.
"Hey, you'd have help." I said amused. "Four girlfriends, your family, and friends. You'll be fine."
"Fair point." He muttered yawning.
"Tired sweetie?" I asked giving him a smile.
"Yeah...I need to sleep since it's my turn with Nep tomorrow." Julio said yawning again which caused me to yawn.
"Great now you got me yawning." I fake growled as I heard Kila speaking up and I sighed. "Gotta go...See you soon." I said giving him a brief kiss before blacking out.
Kila's POV
"Mmm…" I let out as I took over and shifted looking at Julio. "Hey."
"Hey...You feeling better?" He asked.
"Yeah...Feel like I can actually get some good sleep tonight especially with you here." I muttered feeling sleepy.
"Well, if you start having nightmares I'll be here." He said wrapping his left arm around me.
"I know." I said before using my right hand to grip his right. "I love you."
"Love you too." He muttered kissing my forehead and using his left arm he rubbed my back soothingly which began to make me feel tired and groggy as my vision blurred. "Sleep." He whispered softly into my ears and I felt myself lose consciousness as he gently stroked my tail.
Julio's POV
"...You're quite the comforter." I heard Serene say in my head.
"Doing what I can for her." I answered not feeling tired at all. I had been faking the yawns and exhaustion from sex. My stamina had increased immensely to the point doing all that was a piece of cake. "...You watched didn't you?" I asked and she was silent. "...Perverted Goddess."
"...I'm in no position to deny that but don't call me that again." She replied.
"You watched me and my girlfriend. I definitely get the right to call you that." I said.
'I didn't watch everything! I wanted to talk to you and jumped into your head and caught the end of it! That's all I swear!" She exclaimed.
"...Fine. What'd you want to talk about?" I asked.
"I don't remember! I forgot when I essentially walked in on you two going at it like animals!" Serene exclaimed.
"Hey not my fault her species gets extremely aroused easy and that I'm a member of a race known for aggression." I shot back when I felt Kila begin to shake and let out small sounds of fear.
"You'd better take care of that." Serene said and I felt her presence disappear as I began to rub her back soothingly and whispered words of comfort for a bit until she began to stop and her face became relaxed.
"It's okay Kila...I'm here." I muttered softly wrapping my arms tightly around her. "I'll always be here when you need me." I whispered holding her until I too began to fall asleep.
AN: Well this chapter was one big fluff fest between these two(Three). It felt good to write something more focused on two characters.
Now the next four chapters will actually be more focused on the four nations and their lives. Next chapter will be focusing on Planeptune and alternate between the main characters including Arfoire and will be set about two weeks after this chapter and will show some development on Neptune's pregnancy.
Nothing else to say so let's do the review thing.
Please leave a review with your thoughts on the chapter, ideas, and suggestions for the future of the story. Any questions you have I'll likely answer with a PM. Criticism is accepted but flames are not.
