The Commission Files- File #a1595 Bonding Tacticians Part 5
Characters: Mark, Female Shez
Based on: a commission by sinfulline on Twitter/X
Mark was waiting in line to talk to the Summoner because he had a few questions about his next mission. Nothing too important, but he saw the opportunity to spend time with someone, someone with which their alone time tended to get interrupted a lot, and he decided to take his shot like he always did. Eventually he got to the front of the line and the Summoner gave him a smile for a greeting.
"Ah Mark, it's always a pleasure to see you." The Summoner told him, motioning him to sit in front of his desk.
"Thank you, I'm grateful you take the time to speak to everyone and listen to their questions and concerns." Mark replied as he sat down. "It might not be the most efficient way to run an army this large, but I think it helps everyone fight to their fullest, I don't think I'd change a thing if I was in charge."
"Yes, I feel the same as you Mark. I could be a bit more strict, but what's the fun in that?" The Summoner chuckled. "So, what can I do for you today?"
"Well, I just had a question about my mission today." Mark stated. "It said I'm off to a version of the Western Isles back in Elibe for a Lost Lore collection."
"That's right." The Summoner nodded. "We actually don't really need more pages, but you never know when we're going to need those crystals for later."
"Certainly, but that's pretty much what I was wondering about." Mark continued. "Since we don't need any more pages and we're just looking for whatever we can now, do you mind if I bring someone along that isn't from Elibe? So I can show them around and such?" Now the Summoner knew very well about Mark and the the rest of his family's escapades, so he knew what Mark was trying to get up to. But he really didn't mind too much, Mark was good at keeping morale up, he always did his missions to the best of his ability, and he was one of the best tactical minds the Order of Heroes had. So if he wanted to fool around with some friends now and then it was okay.
"Ha!" The Summoner chuckled slightly at the request. "You do know that I know what 'showing them around and such.' means right?" He teased the green clad tactician. "Who were you thinking of inviting?"
"Shez." Mark replied before realizing he had to be more specific. "I mean, the one who is a woman." The Summoner looked through his papers to make sure that he didn't have that Shez going on any missions today.
"Hmm, yes, that should be fine." He noted not seeing her name anywhere. "So you're good to invite her if you'd like. If for some reason she can't join you, I'm sure one of the many Lyns we have around here would be more than willing to help you out on your mission."
"You don't know the half of it." Mark replied with his own chuckle. "But thank you, I appreciate you letting me do this as always."
"Think nothing of it Mark, you may not have the battle skills of many of the people here, but you've earned the title of Hero many times over with your other skills." The Summoner told him. "If that's everything then, I take it you'll be on your way?"
"Yeah, I think that's everything." Mark noted with a nod. So he stood up and gave the Summoner a polite bow before he headed off to the room where both of the Shezes lived together. But not before changing into his swimwear since his mission was on a beach. He knocked on the door and Male Shez opened it a few moments later.
"Hey Mark, how's it going?" He asked with a smile. "What's with the swim trunks?"
"Mission on the beach, gotta keep cool. And it's going pretty well, how about you?" Mark asked back with his own smile.
"You know, mercenary stuff." M!Shez replied. "Battling, training, getting to know my allies, the usual stuff. I can't believe how many amazing fighters are here, there is a lot I can learn here in Askr."
"Truer words have never been spoken." Mark agreed. "Not to cut you off or anything, but I was actually here looking for your counterpart, is she around?"
"Oh, yeah, of course, I'll go get her for you." M!Shez replied before ducking back into the room and a few moments later F!Shez was at the door in her own bikini and swimwear.
"Perfect." Mark commented to himself when he saw what she was wearing.
"Huh?" F!Shez wondered, not knowing the context of why Mark said that just yet.
"Oh, sorry." Mark replied, shaking his head slightly. "I just noted how it's perfect your wearing that outfit because I was about to invite you to go to a mission with me on a beach. I hope I'm not interrupting any plans you had yourself."
"Ohhh, so that's why you're wearing just your swim trunks." F!Shez replied, finally getting it. "And no, I was just going to go out surfing by myself for a bit, but if you're heading to a beach as well I don't see why we can't go together."
"Great!" Mark replied with a smile. "Alright, we'll be heading out to the Western Isles back on my homeland of Elibe for a Lost Lore mission, but don't worry too much, we already have the pages we need. We're just looking for crystals and such so we can take our time."
"Sounds good to me!" F!Shez noted. "Hey, I just came up with a great idea, how about I teach you how to surf while we're out there?"
"Oooh, that sounds like fun!" Mark agreed. So F!Shez grabbed her extra surfboard and the two of them headed out to the portal to the Western Isles. "I will note that this area is a bit of a tourist destination for Etrurian nobles, but I know a spot where it can just be the two of us." Mark noted as they stepped out onto the beach and saw all the people milling about.
"Leave it to you to know all about secret spots to be alone." F!Shez teased him.
"Well, we've got to have one time together where we aren't interrupted by your other self." Mark teased back. "But I do want to still learn surfing, so let's do that first okay?"
"That's fine with me, lead the way to your secret spot!" F!Shez told him. So Mark lead her to what seemed like the edge of the beach, but then he dove into the water and continued to swim along the shore for a decent bit before there was another, smaller, patch of sand for them to stand on. Luckily no one else was there to watch them get there and their wasn't anyone on this little patch of sand either, so it was just the two of them.
"Pretty nice huh?" Mark asked F!Shez once they got back onto the sand.
"Yeah, it's nice, cozy, and pretty hidden away too to boot!" F!Shez agreed. "And there is plenty of room for when you come into the shore flat on your face when you crash on your board." She added as a little tease.
"Hey, I might not be as athletic and flexible as Lyn, but I'm a quick learner!" Mark replied back with a laugh. And he was right, as he usually was. The first couple of times he did end up eating sand on his return to the beach, but he was quickly getting the hang of surfing as F!Shez taught him the ropes. It was all about balance in the end and Mark was good at balancing things. And as a bonus, when he did end up biting it on the sand, his body dug up some crystals to take back to Askr.
"I have to hand it to you Mark, you're pretty good at this." F!Shez noted as the two of them sat on the beach resting after a bit. "It took me quite a while to get as good as I am at surfing and you almost seem like a natural.
"Eh, I'm just lucky." Mark noted humbly. "And I had a wonderful teacher. You know what they say, 'any mistake that doesn't kill you makes you stronger' or some variation on that. So even if you weren't so skilled at the beginning you put your mind to it and didn't give up. And now you're so skilled you can teach a guy like me who never even heard about surfing until a few months ago."
"You always know the right words to say to make someone feel good about themselves Mark, that's probably why you have all the men and women falling for you." F!Shez replied before leaning over and giving Mark a kiss on the lips. "And yes, that includes me as well."
"What can I say, I'm very good at words and I love seeing my friends happy and at their best." Mark commented back with a smirk on his face after she kissed him. "And yes, that includes you as well." He added mirroring her words back before mirroring her actions and kissing her back. "You ready for me to teach you some things now?" He whispered into her ear seductively.
"I've been waiting for you to ask all day." F!Shez whispered back. And after that the two leaders of armies stripped down and started going at each other like animals in heat. Like they really went at it, multiple different positions, in and out of the water, and Mark had even swiped a stamina potion from his room beforehand so they could keep going longer. He wanted to make sure that F!Shez got the full experience with him since, like he noted, it always seemed like they got interrupted. If not by M!Shez, then by someone else who needed one of them right at that moment.
For F!Shez's part, she loved the fact that Mark went through all this trouble for her. He was always apologizing for not being able to do everything they wanted together and he seemed determined to show her the love and affection that she had missed out on all those other times. Of course she knew that his heart would always be with Lyn like her heart was with someone else, but this really nailed down for her just how much Mark really did care for her as a close friend from how well he treated her and it made her feel all warm and fuzzy inside knowing she had made a true friend here in Askr.
Eventually though, they started slowing down and when that moment came they were doing it doggystyle on the edge of the beach with Mark playfully smacking F!Shez's butt with every thrust he was pushing into her. Slowly but surely the two of them built up to their final climax, and when it was close Mark bent over F!Shez's body and started whispering into her ear again as he continued to pound into her.
"I don't know about you, but I'm about to cum again, real soon." He stated with confidence. "This time I'm gonna put it right where it's supposed to go, straight into your womb. How do you feel about that?" He had been purposely not finishing there the entire session just so he could do it now and make it feel more memorable for her.
"Hmm, give it to me Mark!" F!Shez moaned with more pleasured sounds. "Show me what I've been missing out on all this time!" That's all Mark needed to hear and with a few more moments of sustained trusting he felt his cock get squeezed down on by her orgasm and he pushed himself as deeply as he could inside before letting go and spurting his seed all over her insides. This was always the best part for Mark since there were no consequences in Askr, no worries about anyone getting pregnant or anything. Eventually he had emptied himself and when he was done he fell back onto the beach to rest.
"Elimine, you really drained me dry on that one." He commented, trying to catch his breath as F!Shez crawled about on the sand and started to cuddle with him.
"That was wonderful Mark, I'm glad I finally got to spend time with you like this." She told him as she wrapped her arms around his body.
"Me too. Thank you for accepting to come on this mission with me Shez, I really enjoy spending time with you like this. And I got to learn how to surf as well." Mark noted with a weak smile. After that there was a bit of silence as the two caught their breath, but the conversation wasn't quite over yet.
"Something tells me we'd still be friends without all the sex." F!Shez commented once she could breath properly again.
"Oh, of course, the sex is fun and all, but I like you for all the other stuff about you as well." Mark agreed. "Lyn and I have a lot of friends who aren't really interested in casual sex and we care about them just as much."
"You're so weird Mark, but I guess that's what makes you pretty cool as well." F!Shez noted with a chuckled.
"Hey, I'll take it." Mark chuckled back as they continued to rest. A bit later though F!Shez thought of a question she wanted to ask Mark.
"Hey Mark?" She wondered.
"Yeah?" Mark replied back.
"Do you think it's weird that me and my other self are in love and have sex with each other?" F!Shez asked. "I've heard some of the other Heroes talking about it and some of them don't seem to get it."
"It's a little different, but I wouldn't say it's weird or immoral or anything like that." Mark commented. "Like you both might be Shez, but you're still different people with different circumstances. Honestly you two being so similar means that you two know each other quite well, more than most couples do. I think those other Heroes might just be jealous."
"Hm, perhaps." F!Shez noted. "What about you? If a version of you that was a woman were to come to Askr, would you try and put the moves on her like you do everyone else?"
"Probably, unless she was uncomfortable with it of course." Mark answered confidently. "I think a woman version of me would look pretty cute, don't you think?" He added with a grin that got her to laugh. "And then think, me and her and you and the other Shez could all have some fun together, wouldn't that be interesting?"
"I could see where that might sound fun." F!Shez teased him. "But, in all seriousness Mark, thank you for answering me with how you truly feel, it makes me feel better knowing that my close friend is okay with my life decisions."
"Hey, what are friends for?" Mark replied with his trademark smile and thumbs up as he sat up from the beach. "Now, we are still on a mission here. So let's clean up and see if we can find a few more crystals before we head back. Maybe we'll have time for more surfing if we find them quickly enough."
"Let's make it a competition!" F!Shez suggested as she sat up.
"What were you thinking for a prize?" Mark wondered. F!Shez whispered her idea into his ear and his eyes lit up with a smirk growing on his face as he heard it.
"Sound good to you?" She smiled at him playfully.
"Oh, it's on!"
