Kitsune of the Blue Sun

[Keeno POV]

After several hours of passionate intimacy and a long bath that hardly got us clean we finally settled down to just sitting and enjoying each other’s company. I was sitting with my back against the headboard of the bed while Ama sat in my lap using my chest as a pillow. She had several of her tails intertwined with mine while others were wrapped around us like blankets.  Their smooth, silky softness better than anything I’ve ever felt provided a serene sensation that made all my worldly problems melt away.

 

“Hey Ama, we need to do this more often. No sex, no teasing, no complicated topics, just sit and enjoy each other’s presence.”

 

{It IS a nice change of pace.}

 

Our boat passed under a low hanging branch and Ama lifted up a hand, touched the branch, and a fruit instantly grew. Plucking it she took a bite before passing it to me.  I gently nuzzled her before taking a bite myself. It looked and felt like an apple, but the taste of watermelon filled my mouth.

 

“Funny. I’ve been craving one of these for a while now.”

 

{I know. You mumbled about it in your sleep.}

 

“Ah.”

 

When we finished that one, she made another one grow. She was about to take a bite when I stopped her and took the fruit.

 

“I wanna try something.”

 

Holding the fruit in my hand, I blew a little fire on it, roasting it lightly.  When I was sure it was done, I took a bite and my ears shot up straight in surprise.  Ama chuckled lightly and I handed her the fruit. After she took a bite, her ears did the same.

 

{What in the world?}

 

“It tastes like a completely different fruit. How does something go from tasting like watermelon to tasting like a peach?”

 

{I don’t know, but I kind of like the taste of it more now.}

 

“Noted.”

 

We spent the rest of our day like this, Ama making several kinds of fruit grow and allowing me to lightly roast them so we could see if any others changed.

 

[Pram POV]

Waking up in the morning I found my tail completely wrapped up and around Freya while she lightly nibbled on the end of it.  Looking at her adorable face while she slept was a source of immense pleasure as she looked so calm and defenseless. It made me want to completely eat her up and keep her hidden away from all the world.  I smiled gently at that thought as I slowly moved my arms and pulled Freya closer to me until her head rested on my chest.

 

The faint scent of her hair drifted into my nose, causing my heart to start beating faster as I wanted nothing more than to be completely surrounded and emersed by that scent.  It made me hug Freya a bit tighter as I never wanted her to be away from me from this moment on.

 

“I really love you, Freya.  More than you can ever know.  You make me feel complete in a way I never could have thought possible.  I’m so glad you’re in my life and I look forward to all the things we do in the future.  With you by my side, I feel everything is possible.  I know you can’t hear this, and I really should say all this to you when you are aware, but I can’t help it.  For some reason, I always struggle to get these words across when I see you stare back at me so earnestly.”

 

I closed my eyes and gently kissed Freya’s forehead.

 

“I’ll make sure that you’re always safe and healthy, secure in life and comfortable.  I vow this on my name and the names of Amaterasu and Keeno.”

 

I touched my forehead to Freya’s and slowly began drifting off to sleep again only to get jolted awake when I felt a warm sensation on my lips.

 

“It’s hard to sleep when you’re saying all that directly in my ears, silly.” (Freya)

 

“…” (Pram)

 

“Hehe.  Don’t go all quiet on me now.  You know I love it when you say sweet things like that to me.” (Freya)

 

Moving her head from my chest, she pushed my face into hers.

 

“What was it again?  Oh yeah.  I’ll make sure you’re always safe and healthy, secure in life and comfortable, I vow this on my name and the names of Amaterasu and Keeno.  In this life and any other, for all eternity.” (Freya)

 

I peeked up at her face through her barely covered cleavage.

 

“Is this the part where I say I do?” (Pram)

 

“I think we’re past that already.” (Freya)

 

“I don’t care.” (Pram)

 

I moved my head from her chest only to see her shiver.

 

“This is what you get for choosing to wear those skimpy pajamas, Freya.” (Pram)

 

I pulled her close once again and moved both of our blankets over us while wrapping my tail around her.

 

“In cold like this, you need to wear layers upon layers.” (Pram)

 

“I know, but I can’t help but lose a lot of them when I sleep.  I don’t even realize I’m losing clothes until I wake up and find them everywhere tangled in the blankets.  I’m just lucky you like to invade my blanket in your sleep.” (Freya)

 

“Like you said, I can’t help it.  I like being close to you.  Call me clingy or whatever, but it’s just how I am.” (Pram)

 

“You’re getting that scary look in your eyes again.” (Freya)

 

“Hmm?  Ah!” (Pram)

 

I turned my face away from Freya, embarrassed.

 

“I never said it was a bad thing…that look makes me feel…happy.” (Freya)

 

“Ehehehe.” (Pram)

 

We enjoyed the warmth our bodies provided until even then Freya began to shiver.

 

“I think we should get dressed.  I don’t know what we’ll be doing today since Keeno isn’t here, but I don’t want you to start getting sick because you weren’t warm enough.  I’ll even brush your hair and tail for you.” (Pram)

 

“That sounds lovely…if you let me do the same for you.” (Freya)

 

“I’d never deny you that.” (Pram)

 

I let go of Freya and she pulled out an outfit I’d never seen her wear from her storage ring.  It was predominantly black with dark grey in places.  A thick coat lined in some sort of fur on the inside while the outside seemed to be some sort of leather that was much more flexible than it looked.  Black stockings made for extremely cold weather were slowly pulled up until they disappeared under a skirt that ended at the middle of Freya’s thighs, which I could, unfortunately, not see under.  She then pulled on some boots that were lined with the same fur as the inside of her clothes and two finger widths under her knees.  She placed two bracers and a scarf-like cloak on the ground next to her to put on later.

 

“Like it?  I found it in my storage ring a while back and never had the chance or reason to wear it.  Apparently, it’s a gift from some god or something, but I never really gotten the chance to ask about it from one of the few we know.” (Freya)

 

“Like it?  I LOVE it!  It makes you look like a proper adventurer, ready to go slay some big bad monster.” (Pram)

 

“Hehe.  Do you not have one too?” (Freya)

 

“Don’t know.  Let me see real quick.” (Pram)

 

Looking through my own storage ring, I didn’t see anything I didn’t recognize.  I was about to say I didn’t when I noticed a spot that seemed void of anything, space included.  When I tried to touch that spot with mana, a box appeared in the ring.  I took it out and opened it.  A small card fell out of the lid which I decided to read later after I looked at the clothes in the box and Freya and I got ready.

 

Inside the box was a large black skirt with patterns normally only seen in clothes from Solheim that would fall three finger widths under my knees lined with the same fur from Freya’s clothes.  Long socks made of the same material and boots that would end just under the skirt.  A dark blue coat with small gold buttons and other small golden inlays was in there as well.  There were some fancy, fur lined black gloves and a black, fur-trimmed capelet as well.  When I removed all of the clothes from the box, it transformed into a small blue hat with a black, fur-trimmed interior and two small golden beads fell into my palms along with it.

 

“…Hey Freya, have you ever braided someone’s hair?” (Pram)

 

“No.” (Freya)

 

“Then I’ll teach you.  Come over here.” (Pram)

 

I showed Freya how to braid hair and she picked up on it right away.  After that I had her brush out and braid some of my hair by my face.  When she got near the end of the strands she was braiding, I put one of the golden beads at the end, leaving the bottom in a tuft.  Freya did the same on the left side and now I had two strands of braided hair that went surprisingly well with my new outfit.

 

“…” (Freya)

 

Freya liked what she saw, if her blushing face was anything to go by.  Taking advantage of her distraction, I moved and sat behind her while grabbing her brush.

 

“Pram?” (Freya)

 

I laid her tail in my lap and started brushing in long, slow strokes.  Freya stiffened up and I saw her tremble slightly with every stroke of the brush.

 

“How…are you so…good at this?  It’s…like you’re……turning me…to jelly.” (Freya)

 

“It was a dream from a long time ago.  Or was it a nightmare?  Anyway, I went to sleep one day, and the next it was like I was intimately aware of the best way to brush any tail and hair in the world and make the one on the receiving end putty in my hands. Hehehehe.” (Pram)

 

By the end of my sentence, my voice took on an almost demented tone, which even surprised me.

 

“…Pr-ehehehehehehehehehe.” (Freya)

 

“Hush now, my sweet.  There are more pressing matters to attend to than my…faux pa.” (Pram)

 

I continued brushing Freya’s tail until no more questions were asked.  An hour later and my own tail and hair brushed, we heard movement from outside the tent and we decided to greet the day.

 

Chaos Realm:

Luna: How can any time spent with me be a nightmare?

Atmos: Well, when you go into teacher mode, things can get…tense…speaking of which, it’s about time you call that Freya girl and Mostima lady here and teach them the ways of the Abyss of Fluff, no?

Luna: Yeah, I should do that.  They need to learn if they are going to be in any sort of proximity to Keeno and Amaterasu in the future.

Atmos: I’ll go get Tamamo.

Luna: No, she’s still preparing for the festival.  I’d love to be helping her, but apparently there’s a surprise for me there and I was kicked out of the preparations.

Atmos: Guess that’s why I was kicked out too.  I’m too much of a…spoiler.

Luna: That or you’d turn everything into one big prank.

Atmos: …I don’t know if I should be upset that I didn’t think of that first, or if it’s because that’s sound reasoning?

Luna: Meh.  Just have to wait for Payto and the others to come back so I can safely teach Freya and Mostima.

Atmos: Hehehehehehe.  Time for more top-quality entertainment.

Luna: *Slaps Atmos on the back of the head with a tail*Stop that.
