"Himeno... something bothering you?"

"Why do you ask?"

"Because..." Naruto paused as he shifted his weight on the bed. He was butt naked, and so was Himeno for that matter. After his contract with "Fami" happened, it had been business as usual for a few weeks, and nothing of major note happened at all. It was oddly quiet, because War and "Famine" had been captured, with War being trained in her new human body to work together with the human who she was a part of now. Naruto wasn't suppose to take part in that training, instead fiends like Beam and Power were suppose to help her.

So, his life had been going out on patrol.

Hanging out with Kobeni and Akane after work on some days, or drinking with Himeno on their drinking day, where Aki sometimes joined them for a couple of drinks, before he went to go and make dinner for Power and Denji, and take care of the huskies that Makima had left in his tender loving care.

Life was actually pretty chill.

"Because?" Himeno feigned ignorance.

She drew circles on his balls with her middle finger as she spoke.

"Well... you just seemed really passive during sex, like your mind wasn't in it." Naruto stated after he thought on how he wanted to phrase it. He wouldn't say that Himeno had acted like a dead fish, just laying there and taking it, but her involvement was way less than normal. She didn't grab his ass as much, she mostly stayed on her back, and the amount of making out they did wasn't as much.

Himeno smiled teasingly.

"Or... maybe you just weren't as good this time?" Himeno flicked the tip of his softened cock. She got a raised eyebrow from Naruto in response.

She was still smiling, but she rolled over onto her back and took her hands off his junk. She sighed as she clasped her hands together and stared up at the ceiling. In all honesty, she hadn't been the most active. The sex wasn't as good this time, but she just wasn't feeling as enthusiastic for sex at the moment. She wanted to fuck, but her heart wasn't quite in it. So yeah, she layed back and just allowed Naruto to use her body to cum. During sex with him, she kissed, and she moved her hips a bit, and she did try and participate a bit, her her mind just had struggled to really get into the moment.

Himeno sighed.

"Yeah, I couldn't focus, my mind wasn't really in it this time, you caught me." Himeno had been thinking lately, and she had been thinking of some pretty serious stuff. So, even during a moment that should have been nice sex, she just couldn't keep her mind off of the stuff she was thinking about. "... I'm supposed to be dead, you know. Yet, here I am... enjoying drinking with you, getting fucked... and now I'm kind of immortal." Himeno started off.

Aki was mortal, and he only had a few short years left to live before his devil contracts caught up with him. He was her best normal human friend, somebody that she had worked with for years at this point. She even trained him herself, and he surpassed her with ease.

She wasn't mortal.

She was going to watch Aki die before her, and she was going to watch everyone else she would know die before her. The longer she lived and thought about it, the more obvious to her that it became that her life had changed in a big way.

"Yeah?" Naruto asked slowly.

"... Before I met you, I lived every day as if it would be my last. Devil Hunters don't normally live long, and I always thought I would be dead before 30. So, I smoked, I fucked, I got drunk... I enjoyed my life doing the things that made me happy." Himeno glanced over at Naruto, and she saw him shut his mouth and listen to her in silence. She then looked back up at the ceiling.

He did this in a way.

He saved her life, him saving her life was the reason the Future Devil had shown so much interest in her, because she was not supposed to be alive right now. She had been extremely thankful to Naruto, and it gave her a new lease on life when she learned how close she had been to death for real. She felt so much closer to Naruto now, and he was different. She saw him in a new life, as somebody extremely, extremely important to her.

Yet, now she was thinking more.

"... I mean... I'm... not going to die like a normal person, am I... so what is the point of drinking like this... what is the meaning behind smoking and fucking. I mean, now that I know I'm not going to die tomorrow... it feels like a little of the passion I had for those things is... it isn't going away..." Himeno didn't know how best to do it.

She had spend the last few years drinking, smoking, and having sex whenever she felt like it. Yeah, she had a romance in her heart for Aki, but she knew he didn't feel that same way towards her so she never acted on it. Now that she was immortal though, she really didn't want to act on it because she would just hurt herself all the more when he died in a few years.

"... you... don't want to drink and smoke anymore?" Naruto suggested.

"No, I still want to do all my favorite things... but... now that I know I'm going to live forever, it just doesn't... feel like I need to do these things anymore. Sorry if this topic is a bit heavy for pillow talk?" Himeno apologized again.

Normally, she would joke and tease Naruto a little after sex, but now she just kind of felt like the sex helped her mellow out from the mood she had been experiencing. She looked across the room at the 3 beer cans that she had drunk, a mere 3 beer cans, and that was all she had drunken tonight before fucking Naruto. It was a small amount compared to how drunk she usually got, less than half of what she would actually like to drink in most drinking situations.

She still enjoyed the act of drinking.

She still enjoyed the act of fucking.

She still loved a good smoke.

"Now though..." Himeno brought her hands together and stretched them up over her head, before bring them down to her belly button and staring out the window at the moon. "... I've just been... thinking a lot more. Do I want to continue working in Public Safety... I mean, the guys in Public Safety handle all the dangerous devils. All that is going to happen, is I'm going to make friends and watch them all die, attend their funerals. I'm going to be there to bury all the people I care about."

"Yeah, thinking about that would make me pretty bad at sex too." Naruto teased her.

She sat up quickly, grabbed her pillow, and slammed it against his face.

"Hey!"

"Just saying, but I understand. I mean, I'm immortal now too, so I understand why you're thinking about this. For awhile, I was thinking about it too." Naruto took the pillow and tossed it back at her. His teasing had lightened the mood just a little bit. "When you've got a lot on your mind, it makes it hard to focus on the stuff you enjoy. Still... if it helps, you won't be immortal alone, I'll be there with you." Naruto offered his words of comfort.

She smiled and laid back on her bed.

She nodded.

"Yeah, and that is part of the problem... do you find me annoying?" Himeno questioned.

"Sometimes you annoy me when you're drunk, but most of the time nope." Naruto teased her.

"I mean, we get along great. We have good chemistry, and I value you as a friend... and I think I've been getting feelings for you... romantic ones. I still have feelings for Aki though... but he doesn't have much time left to live, but I still love him too. I don't want to suffer, it would be easier if I just fell in love with you..." Himeno turned her head to him.

He turned his head back.

"But love isn't always easy, love is hard sometimes, and it hurts. Yeah, I understand that. Still... if I abandon Aki, will I... have regrets, will I have to live the rest of my immortal life with regrets, always wondering what my relationship with him could have been."

Naruto listened and waited for more.

She was silent for awhile.

"... So you're torn between your feelings for me and him. You know loving me would be safe, but you're afraid to live with regret... and you know he's going to die, but you do want to be with him before that happens. You want to make him happy." Naruto offered words for her.

She nodded.

They were both silence for minutes.

"Yeah, yeah... I've thought about that too." Naruto admitted to thinking similar things. "... and let me ask... you don't want to get with Aki, because you're also afraid of ruining any possible relationship with me too...?" Naruto questioned.

She leaned up against him.

"I don't want to end this. When all is said and done, you'll be the only thing I have. I don't really know what to do."

"Hmm." Naruto hummed.

More silence.

"Himeno... we're immortal." Naruto stated.

"Yeah, that's the-"

He raised a hand.

"You should confess to Aki, you should follow your heart. We're immortal, he isn't. I'll still be your drinking buddy, but Aki only has so much time left. When he's gone, I'll be here for you, and I'll mourn him with you. Just like I know if I ever take a mortal lover, and she dies, you'll be there for me. So go and be with Aki, and when that time is over, I'll be waiting for you to come to me." Naruto reached out and rubbed her cheek.

"... and it won't be weird?"

"Maybe it will be for awhile, but hey, we're immortal, we'll get over it eventually. There isn't a reason why you have to pick between me and Aki. You can be with him now, and then when he's gone and you've finished mourning, I'll be there... but I still expect we'll be drinking on your day off right?" Naruto asked her.

She quickly sat up.

"Hell yeah we'll keep drinking together! We'll drink, watch movies, and we can just be awesome friends!"

"Better?" Naruto asked her, and she was smiling with light in her eyes.

"Yeah, I feel way better now! You know what, tomorrow, I'm going to confess my feelings to Aki... or the day after tomorrow." Himeno changed her mind.

"Why the day after tomorrow?"

"Because, if tonight is the last time we're going to be able to fuck for awhile, I'm going to take you on the ride of your life. I don't want THAT fuck to be the one you remember me for, for a few years." Himeno moved herself quickly so that she was laying on top of his waist. "... now buckle up mister, because if me and Aki get together, this fuck is going to have to be the one you remember this pussy for."

"Oh, and if he turns you down?" Naruto teased her.

"Then I'm going to come crying my eyes out to you, and I expect you to fuck me all night long to make me feel better of course!" Himeno showed WAY more enthusiasm as she grinded her pussy against his body to try and arouse him.

Naruto grinned.

Yeah, this was way better than dead fish Himeno.
