Chapter 2
“Travel safe, and make sure you message us when you get home, okay?” As we start talking about Keira’s train home, my thoughts instantly go to the enormous creature that stopped us on our way here… Actually, maybe we’re the ones in danger? Kiera gets the fancy underground rail, and we have to take the top rail… It would be an absolute disaster if the underground rails were attacked somehow, but with how those voids were made, it doesn't seem possible.
Kiera giggles and pokes me in the belly with a smirk, “Damn girl, next you're gonna be breast feeding me and making me call you mummy!” Zelia instantly turns away with a blush on her face. “Wait! We can do that?! Damn, sign me the fuck up! Nyehehe~”
I shake my head and pull Kiera into a big hug, she squeaks in happiness, the air being pushed out of her as I ‘accidentally’ crush her a little. “Both of you are frigging dummies! What will I do with the both of you? Anyway… think about what we talked about with moving out here? We can discuss the details later, but yeah…” Kiera is nodding super fast in agreement before being smacked in the shin by Nacho, breaking what little concentration she has left in that sex addled brain.
The aggressive cat shaped ball of love and motherly attention looks up at me before spreading its little legs and bowing its head down. “Thank you very much for having us, it was… fun. We must be off before we miss the next rail, we are all booked and I will not have us contact that stupid excuse for an A.I. to get refunds!” Nacho has gotten more and more aggressive as time has passed, I couldn’t imagine someone being able to frustrate Nacho more than Kiera.
Zelia pulls Kiera in for a gentle hug, before kissing her on the forehead. “Travel safe, we’ll message you, yeah? Can't wait to go to the dungeon with you today! How are you feeling after sleeping last night?”
Kiera throws her arms up in the air in triumph. “Ugh, best sleep ever! I don't know how I’m going to live without more nights like that! So make sure we plan this thing soon!” Nacho smacks her again in impatience, and she jumps before scooping her kitty. “Kiss for the road?” her puppy dog eyes come out in full force as she leans forward.
I comply and lean down, kissing her softly, followed by Zelia’s lips as well, Nacho schoffing at each kiss. Kiera’s grin lights up our world. She sprints ahead to the station, and at Nacho’s insistence to go slower, her laughter radiates down the street. There goes our Yeen.
…
The trip back was thankfully uneventful. Zelia falls asleep at my side again, and I stare out the window contemplating my life in the universe, which at this point I felt was between two cute girls… where else should I be? There was no grand mission in my life, it was always that way from the day of Janus arriving, to staying alive, and I did, but I didn't really live until Zelia and the Lanzes took me in, and even then it was a half life… It took being crippled to actually change the biggest thing about me, and even then I was afraid of her seeing me as weak. I can't be weak, I have to be strong to protect the people in my life.
I nod along to my own thoughts; if I'm not strong enough, they will all die, just like everyone else. The thoughts in the back of my mind agree with me, whispering, trying to push me towards the right solution, the perfect solution, the one way to save everyone, then become on- ”Lilia love?” I feel the warmth of Zelia’s hand on my neck, her touch full of life and love, jolting me back into the train. I was somewhere else… it was dark... a void tinged with red…
“I'm sorry love, I slipped out of my brain a little…” Feeling her warm kiss on my cheek, I turn to her, her smile radiating as beautifully as the day she sat next to me at the canteen. It was the thing that never changed about her, how wonderful her smile made me feel, even when I couldn't feel anything.
“I was saying the notification just went off, should be arriving soon, we’re nearly home… Tomorrow night we should visit mum and dad and talk to them about everything… asking them to move after they found such a nice place with all their friends is just painful though…” I hold her tight from the side, as she leans into me, sighing. And I thought that telling them we were together was going to be hard. ‘Hey mum and dad, we are fucking now! Oh, also, we are afraid for all our lives, and there’re now monsters outside the walls! Time to move and upend your amazing lives and jobs and friends.’ Fuck.
You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.
It was easy enough for me, I have nothing in my own apartment except Buta and the capsule. My whole life can be summed up in one box of goods, mostly things I’ve gotten from Zelia anyway. I was ready to take the next step. I feel I’ve been ready for a long time but just denied myself any kind of comfort in life. Denied myself any happiness.
< Now arriving at the Regional District. Thank you for riding with us today! >
Arriving home we flop onto the couch, but not before picking up Buta the best we can, giving them as much love and entertainment as possible, not much longer and they are starting to huff and puff from all the exercise. Felicity welcomes us back in with warmth and motherly love, telling us how much of a good kitty Buta has been, telling us that there is a new photo collection.
We started telling her about our trip, getting to the part of the monstrous thing. She doesn't seem that surprised, “There is already recorded evidence of flora and fauna growing beyond what they already were, being more aggressive and intelligent, although nothing I’ve heard of to such a degree… I'm just happy my favorite people in the world are okay! Should I make a complaint to the transport division?! I feel I should, hmph.” I can practically feel her looking me over, making sure I'm not injured. Zelia looks at me with a weary smile and I hug her close.
“We are considering moving to the central sydney region, making sure we have enough space for our friend Kiera as well, we could get a place with higher technical options so that you could have a more realized physical body?”
“Aww thank you love… are you that scared of animals and such… I'm sorry you had to go through that…”
“Not just that… the sight of the walls, the uhh sanctuary project, those terrified me, we had heard about it on the news and things but the scale of it… it feels like they are preparing for something worse, or like some kind of godzilla scale monsters! Have you heard anything about why they are doing that?”
She scoffs at my godzilla comment and then hums in concentration, “mnn According to the official reason it's because of the growing regions of the world that are uncontrolled by Sci-Axium, areas which were once deserts are extensive forests, being inhabited by animals and beasts, they are also using the walls for strict regulations so as for people with il-intent should be unable to gain access, there are more than one groups thats would love to bring sci-axium down and gain control of one of the regions.” Okay so basically they are building fortresses where the only ways in and out are Sci-Axium controlled, but they are so frigging high!?
Zelia is next to me with her ultimate thinking face on, she brings her finger up a few times as if to try and ask something and then brings it down again, contradicting her own questions with another statement or question of her own. Finally after minutes of us watching her she blurts out the ultimate question. “Yeah but why?!”
Felicity bursts out laughing at this question, I can't help but do the same, tension that has built up exploding from us both. “Gosh I was expecting something much more complex love! Why what?” Zelia exaggerates with her hands, seeming to indicate everything, wanting so many answers. I hold her and plant her head between my boobs and rub her hair.
“Maybe you should let Kiera know we will be on soon? She won't be home for a few hours, at least she should be safe, we can wait around for a while and enjoy being together with Buta. This little cutie needs some extra loving for us not being around as much as we should be. Yes, I’m talking about you, you cute little bundle of orange fatness, yeesss~” I’ve planted my face directly into Buta’s fur, their tongue out the side of their mouth like a derpy doggo.
“Ugh there's just too much information in my brain… AM I BECOMING LIKE DAD?! If I start spouting out conspiracy theories just put me down, I’m sure we can find a nice shed to bury me behind, fuck.”
“Please the only place I’m burying you is in my tits~” She giggles and looks up at me with such adoration, kissing me gently on the lips making me feel so warm inside.
“Mmnnn just remembered… we should get you in the shower, gotta clean you up from your… accident hehe” I roll my eyes.
“That was no accident missy! It was murder of the first degree! Planned and executed, caught red handed and sentenced to being loved forever for your crimes!” Zelia can't stop laughing at my words as Buta falls off my lap, pulling me towards the shower. I feign resistance but the excitement on my face reveals my intentions.
One more round wouldn't hurt.
