A/n- Like I said, I'm not done with this collection yet so let's start off this next 100 stories with some Matthew/Leila action! Little bit of context, like one of my other stories this Leila comes from an Elibe where Matthew was the one to die infiltrating the Black Fang, so that's how they are from different worlds.
The Commission Files- File #a1547 Forever With You
Characters: Matthew, Leila, Anna (Askr)
Based on: a commission by PachiPaola on Twitter/X
"So what do you think this announcement is going to be about?" Leila asked Matthew as they were walking towards Askr's main hall where there was a buzz about something big about to happen.
"You mean Elibe's best spy doesn't have a clue either?" Matthew teased her a bit, earning himself an eyebrow raised look from his lover. "What? You usually get all the news before I do, I was assuming you already knew."
"For once I don't." Leila admitted. "Seems like they really wanted to keep this one a secret. Either way, I'm sure it's nothing too bad, we just won another conflict. Probably just some big party or something."
"Probably." Matthew agreed with a shrug. "But that means I get to see you in that fancy dress again, and I'm totally for that."
"Never change Matthew, never change." Leila chuckled as she shook her head a bit playfully. Eventually they made their way into the hall and pretty much every hero that had ever been summoned was there. The room was quite loud with the murmuring of the heroes wondering what might be going on, even when Commander Anna called everyone to attention.
"Come on, quiet down now, I'm not going to be yelling this entire time!" Anna said, trying to get everyone to calm down, though it didn't work. So the Ylissian Anna handed her a tome to enhance her volume. "HEY! IT'S TIME TO SHUT UP AND LISTEN!" And that was loud enough to get everyone's attention and stop most of the talking. "Thank you." Anna told the crowd.
"Must be important if she's yelling at us." Matthew noted, with Leila nodding in agreement.
"Alright, since I know you all are speculating on what's going on and will start another ruckus soon if I take too long I'll cut to the chase." Commander Anna started. "We're sending you home." After that she stepped back from her podium, knowing that a roar of sounds coming from everyone's reactions would come soon after. She gave the crowd a few minutes before she stepped back up and everyone quieted down again for her.
"The leaders of Askr and Embla have poured over all the history texts and legends and to our knowledge there aren't any more threats to the peace of our land that could pop up." Commander Anna explained. "As such, we will no longer need the services of the majority of the heroes we have summoned from other worlds. In short we will be ending your summoning contracts and sending you home in a quick and timely manner." She paused a bit to let the news sink in some more, but something was nagging at Matthew, something that he needed to ask, so he raised his hand hoping Commander Anna would see it.
"Matthew, do you have something to add?" Commander Anna wondered. Matthew had been there since the beginning and she respected him and the work he did, so she was more than willing to let him speak up.
"Well, I was just wondering something." Matthew noted. "Say a certain hero doesn't want to go back to their homeworld for one reason or another, have you and the nobles discussed that." As he asked his question he could feel a pair of eyes burning a hole into his side, but he disregarded that as he listened to the Commander's answer.
"That's a good point you bring up Matthew, and we have actually discussed that." Anna replied. "We do have a limited number of open positions for regular castle duty, advisory roles, and relations with the people of Askr and Embla. But there are restrictions on the heroes that will be able to stay. Any hero that is considered a 'villain' in their home world will have to go back along with any hero whose disappearance from their world would cause unrepairable damage to their timeline. We have a list of the heroes who count for both categories, but everyone else will have to be determined on a case by case basis. Is that what you were wondering about Matthew?"
"Yes Commander Anna, that answers my question perfectly." Matthew stated.
"Good. Applications for staying here in Askr will be handled by myself and will start tomorrow. Everyone on the list to go back to their homeworld will start going back then as well, starting with heroes from Marth's time period and going on from there." Anna added. After that there were a few more questions from some other heroes, but Matthew had gotten the information he had wanted. Leila realized this and before the meeting was even over she dragged him off to a secluded place to give him a piece of her mind.
"Matthew, what the hell was that all about?" She asked him, somewhat pinning him against the wall like she did when she didn't want him to be able to sneak away.
"What?!" Matthew replied back, slightly shocked that Leila was upset about his question. "I was just wondering what the deal was, you know, in case I didn't want to go home just yet."
"And why, pray tell, would you not want to go back to Elibe?" Leila questioned him. Matthew looked at her with confusion, trying to understand why she would ask such an obvious question. Unless she had forgotten after all these years together in Askr, which was understandable.
"Because, if I go back home, I'm never going to see you again." Matthew stated plainly, which got Leila to step back and give him a bit more breathing room. "I know it's been a while Leila, and that us being together here in Askr has kind of dampened the pain a bit, but we're from different versions of Elibe. In my home, you died on the Dread Isle, the same way I did in yours."
"And they'll send us back to our real homeworlds, not a version of one we'd prefer to live in." Leila noted, her arms falling down to her side in realization.
"Honestly, with how we got summoned here in the first place, they probably wouldn't have the choice anyways since the summoner's tool for it is so finicky." Matthew added before stepping forward himself and wrapping his arms around Leila to comfort her. She wasn't quite sure how to feel at the moment, all her emotions swirling around in a way that she hadn't felt since she saw Matthew's dead body strung up on a tree all those years ago, but what she did know is that Matthew was there for her right now and she found some comfort in that. So she hugged him back and they stayed in each other's embrace for a long while until one of them spoke up again.
"I figured that we'd both want to stay here in Askr, so I had these made." Matthew said as he pulled out a couple of rings out of his satchel and gave one to Leila. "We never did get around to actually getting married, so I thought these would be a good start."
"Oh Matthew, these look lovely." Leila said putting hers on and looking at it intently. "And of course, you don't need to ask, I would love to spend the rest of my life with you. But what if they tell us we have to go back home anyways?"
"Then we'll have these to rings to remember what we had together here in Askr, that we both got that time together we always wished we had before we thought each other lost forever." Matthew stated. "We'll have proof that we might see each other again, even if it's unlikely."
"Since when did you get to be so smooth?" Leila teased him with a few tears rolling down her face. "That's the most romantic thing you've ever said to me, and that's a high bar to clear."
"Well, let's just say I've put some practice in." Matthew noted, wiping some of her tears away. "I've been hanging onto something similar to that ever since we parted ways that night in Ostia years ago."
"I wish I could have heard it sooner then, but this will do nicely." Leila commented before hugging him some more. She was still conflicted in her emotions, but the one that was creeping up to take control was happiness, and that gave her an idea. "Say Matthew, I was wondering something." She told him.
"Yeah, what is it?" Matthew replied, glad to hear she was feeling better.
"I think I have another way we can remember each other if we do end up getting separated again." Leila noted, with a bit of a smirk to let Matthew know what she was thinking.
"Oh, and what would that be?" Matthew asked, pretending to not understand.
"Spending our last possible night with our bodies entwined with one another, showing each other just how much love and passion we have, leaving nothing to be questioned over the years to come." Leila told him, her smirk growing as she spoke. "Sound like something you'd be interested in?"
"I'd be a fool to pass up one last night of passion with a woman as wonderful and amazing as you Leila." Matthew stated confidently. "You being the most beautiful woman I've ever met is honestly just a cherry on top. Or should I say a peach? A peach I want to taste over and over and over again."
"Is that a promise, or are you just blowing smoke as always?" Leila teased him, getting into the mood.
"You'll just have to find out won't you?" Matthew teased back. "See you after dinner then, if you think you can handle it."
"Oh, you know I can handle anything you throw my way." Leila replied playfully before Matthew slipped away finally. "Always have to leave a girl hanging don't you Matthew?" She sighed to herself. "Good thing that's one of things I love about you."
So the rest of the day passed and after Matthew and Leila ate dinner they headed back to the room they shared together. They closed the door behind them and made sure to lock it so no one would disturb them on what could be their final night together.
"So, how do you want to start?" Matthew asked as he put his satchel down. "Do you want to fool around a bit like usual or do you want to get to the good part more quickly?"
"I don't want to waste a moment more than we have to." Leila told him with a grin. "So take those clothes off on the double!"
"Yes ma'am!" Matthew replied with a playful salute before the two of them stripped down naked. "Elimine, you are just as sexy as ever Leila."
"You know, I never tire of you saying that Matthew." Leila replied before showing off a bit as she usually did.
"And I never tire of saying it." Matthew commented as he sat down on the edge of their bed and started jerking himself a bit to get hard. "Now why don't you come over here and sit on my lap and give me a kiss."
"Oh, a little forceful tonight are we?" Leila teased him as she walked over to him and looked him over. "You know how I can get when we fight for control, you think you can handle that tonight hot stuff?"
"I want everything you can give me Leila." Matthew replied in kind. "Starting with those hot lips of yours." And with that he grabbed her arm and pulled her onto his lap before planting the biggest kiss he could on her lips. Leila was a bit surprised, but just for a short moment before she started kissing him back.
"You really do want it tonight huh?" Leila asked with a devious glint in her eyes. "Well, we'll see if you regret that by the end of the night. I know I won't." She finished off her sentence by shuffling around in just the right way so when she went back to kissing Matthew she sat right down on his dick which had gotten hard very quickly. They both moaned into each other's mouth at the feeling of blissful penetration and Matthew wrapped his arms around Leila's body to bring her even closer as they began their 'final' night of passion.
Unlike most nights where Matthew would be pretty passive and let Leila do as she pleased until he found a good opening to give her some of her own medicine, he was pretty aggressive with his loving. So much so that the two of them went back and forth trying to wrest control of their positioning the whole night. Sometimes Leila would be on top, bouncing up and down on Matthew's cock until he came inside, but then Matthew would come right back and pin her down to the bed with his hips so hard he could of sword he saw her pupils turn into hearts as some tears of pleasure or beads of sweat fell down her face as he kissed her.
Now Leila wouldn't like this kind of thing every night, but on special occasions it was the best thing Matthew could do for her. She didn't always like vying for control in bed, but on nights like this where it could be their last time together she loved the feeling of trying to outwit each other to make the other cum first or gain a bit of an edge in a certain position. It made her feel like it was something only she and Matthew could do together, something they could share that no one else could intrude on, something they could remember if they had to.
All in all, it was probably the most passionate night of sex the two had ever experienced, even counting the times with the versions of the other partner from their own Elibe. This Matthew and Leila were so loving, so passionate, so in sync with each other that you wouldn't be able to tell they came from two different worlds. And they felt the same. To each other they were just Matthew and Leila, no difference between worlds, no more shame at thinking the other would be jealous, just pure love and affection for the other like they had before they came to Askr.
They kept going at it and going at it as long as they could, they even snuck some stamina potions in as well just to go a bit longer, but eventually they had to stop. Their bodies and minds were too tired to go on, even if their hearts wanted more. So they finally stopped and cleaned each other off before laying in bed naked and cuddling.
"One thing about staying here though." Matthew breathed as they were still trying to catch their breath. "You think we'll be able to have any children? Because I don't know about you, but I kind of want some eventually."
"I think it would be nice." Leila agreed breathlessly. "I mean if our contracts didn't magically prevent us from doing so I'm sure we'd have one by now." She teased weakly. "Hell, with how much you pumped into me tonight I wouldn't have much doubt."
"What can I say, when I see a sexy woman like you, I just have to give her everything I have." Matthew teased back with deep breaths. "But being serious for a moment, I just want to say it again, I love you Leila. I always have, I always will, and I hope that will never change."
"Aww, you big softie, I love you too." Leila replied as she snuggled up to him more closely. "You're so dependable and you make me feel special, I honestly can't believe I made it so long without you in my life."
"Heh, I could say the same thing about you." Matthew chuckled before giving off a yawn. "You good sleeping like this tonight?"
"I think I'm going to have some very sweet and spicy dreams, so I do believe so." Leila answered with one last smile. So the two of them slept soundly the rest of the night, waiting for the morning to come so they could find out if they could stay. But just in case they got one more round of sex in before breakfast just because they could.
After eating they got in a line of heroes who wanted to stay in Askr and it took about ten minutes for their spot to come up.
"Next!" Commander Anna called out from the interview room. Matthew and Leila both tried to enter the room but the guard started to stop them before Anna spoke up. "Those two can come in together, it's fine." So the guard let them both through and the spies took seats across from the table Anna was sitting at.
"Thank you for seeing us so quickly Commander Anna." Leila said professionally as usual.
"Yeah, I would have thought the line would have been much longer." Matthew added.
"I was thinking so too, but it seems most of the heroes we summoned actually want to go home, which I don't blame them, most of those places are very nice situations to return to." Anna commented. "But that makes it easy for all of us, we still have plenty of open positions for you two if you want to stay here in Askr."
"We would very much like to." Leila noted. "As you know we're both from different Elibes, one where the other ended up dying to the Black Fang."
"And since we've been reunited here in Askr things have been great." Matthew continued. "I couldn't ask for anything else. And we figured if we did get sent home we'd have to go back to our original Elibe, apart from each other."
"That would be correct." Anna stated. "The summoner tried to fiddle with things to see if he could send heroes away to other worlds, but it didn't work out. Either way, I'm happy to have two skilled and hard working heroes still on my roster, especially two who work together so well. In coming days we'll get more into detail about what you'll be doing, but for now you'll still get paid as usual, you'll get to keep your room in the castle and all the free meals as usual. Vacation and sick days of course along with festivals and holidays off. Anything else that you might be wondering about?"
"Yeah, actually." Matthew noted. "As you know, Leila and I are a couple and eventually we would like to start a family. But the contracts we're under now don't allow that, is there some way to change it?"
"That's a good question Matthew, and yes there is." Anna noted. "What will happen is that we'll release you from your current contract and then put you under a different, less powerful one. It'll allow you to have children and grow older, though at a slower pace than usual. Think dragon lifespans, which will be given to any children you will have as well. The only thing is that if you die, you die. You'll still be a lot more durable than a regular human like you are now, but the contract doesn't revive you if you fall in battle. This has been a sticking point for a few heroes who wanted to stay, so I figured I should let you know."
"What do you think Matthew?" Leila wondered. "I think we could deal with that quite well, I don't see us fighting a ton with this new peace in Askr, and even if we do we're the sneaky sort so we'd be off the front lines."
"I think we could work with that." Matthew agreed. "And getting to spend that much time together, sounds like a dream come true. Just one more thing, if we do decide later on we want to go back home, can we?"
"Technically yes, but depending on when you ask it's going to have to be from whoever is in control then, unless I suddenly get magical agelessness or something like that. Though any children of yours would be Askr natives so they wouldn't be able to come with you." Anna explained.
"Fair enough." Matthew noted. "I think that's everything that was on my mind, what about you Leila?"
"You've been very helpful and knowledgeable as ever Commander Anna, thank you for giving us this opportunity, I look forward to continuing my work for the Order of Heroes for a long time." Leila told Anna with a professional smile.
"And I look forward to continuing to work with two of my best." Anna noted. "Thank you for staying, I really appreciate it. Now, if you hurry, you might be able to see your friends off back to Elibe." The pair nodded and left the meeting room to say goodbye to their friends and explain why they were staying. There were a few tears and hugs given but eventually it was just Matthew and Leila standing there taking one last look at Elibe as the portal was closing.
"So, how do you suggest we spend the rest of our day?" Leila asked Matthew with a loving smile.
"Anyway we want, especially since I've got forever with you."
