how could i ever forget // outside the morning was cool and wet

[It's not often Ajax finds himself getting his head slammed down onto the hood of a car, least of all a cop car. Usually it's him doing the slamming.

But today the young man finds himself denting the hood, the sound of metal caving in under his head ringing in his ears. Not exactly the ideal situation he was hoping for, but he figured sooner or later he'd have a run in with the cops due to the sensitive nature of his profession, but that doesn't mean he has to like how inconsiderate they are with him as they cuff him and throw him in the back of the paddy wagon. Not that he was considerate to them when he was discovered, as evidenced by the blood all over his clothing and knuckles from the fight he'd gotten into with them. How he managed to avoid getting shot is beyond him- plenty of shots were fired, but that hadn't stopped him from knocking a few of them out.

It's just too bad he'd been instructed that he couldn't kill anyone, or else he'd of gotten out of there without being caught.

The lights of the police station are bright, almost too bright from the contrast of how dark it was outside. Ajax squints as he's dragged inside, held tightly by two cops who hurry him through the station, but not fast enough that he doesn't catch a glimpse of the secretary behind the desk as they come in. Pretty, blonde, looking like she'd rather be anywhere else. Gorgeous eyes, ones that catch his attention almost immediately as he's being shoved towards the back, shining with a radiance that captures him instantly. His eyes lock with hers, feeling something silent yet powerful surge through him from this tiny, insignificant interaction. He doesn't even have a moment to think further on it, before he's so rudely interrupted.

Get moving.

The curt voice of the bigger cop on his right cuts through the moment, anger welling up in Ajax's chest and something dark stirs in his core. If he wasn't cuffed and being restrained, he'd turn that guy's face into a new work of art, something so abstract some insane art collector would gladly pay millions for it.

No sooner had Ajax been ushered in, he disappears from sight as he's taken back into an interrogation room, the mysterious blonde no longer in his sights, now getting shoved into a corner of a room.]

What's with this? Don't you even have the courtesy of giving me a chair to sit in, at least?

[From outside of the room, muffled noises of a scuffle as the cops lay into Ajax can be heard, the loudest of which is a thud of a body slamming into a wall, accompanied by a groan from the ginger kid. Though little do any of them know, their real problems haven't arrived just yet, waking from their slumber right outside of the city...]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[ Thank goodness Ajax offers to graciously put their remaining food in the fridge. Her legs still feel like jelly, she needs a moment to catch her breath after that mind-blowing fuck. Yoimiya sighs in contentment at the kiss to her forehead, relishing in the aftermath of having her body completely and utterly dominated by him. Once she's gathered her bearings, she wipes her thighs clean with a nearby paper towel. Some of his essence trickles out, sliding down the inside of her legs but Yoimiya couldn't be any happier with the result. ]

Will do! I'll meet ya in a sec. Poor Hanabi needs to be fed before I pass out for the rest of the night.

[ Poor Hanabi indeed. She was unfortunate to watch them fuck the entire time. If a fish could make an expression, the two of them would have dropped dead on the floor a long time ago. The queen of the apartment didn't have the faintest idea of what was going on but neither of them was feeding or paying attention to her, and that is clearly unacceptable. With her fish's stare glued onto her, Yoimiya pays no mind and spoils her with extra flakes and food to appease the all-mighty Hanabi.

With that done, she makes her way to the bedroom and plops down on the soft, fluffy bed. ]

[Of course, her precious fish needs to be fed. Just a little bit of that normal, mundane part of life does something to him- like it brings him a little out of the strange king mindset he adopts whenever they get down and dirty with each other and baby fever comes up and tackles them both. He still wants to lay with his queen, but he remembers now that they were going to talk about the discoveries they made about their powers in the cave, and how the two of them were going to try to take things a little slow with their feelings. But this mark...it doesn't seem to want to respect their wishes at all. Even with this realization, his mind is still celebrating with the dark whispers inside of it that Yoimiya could be pregnant.

Sighing, he pushes all of it out of his mind for the time being. Resting and giving his mind time to recuperate will put him in a more stable mindset. Right now, it's just best to cuddle up with Yoimiya and sleep this exhaustion off, and he makes his way back to her bedroom to discover her already on it, waiting for him.]

I didn't mean to keep you waiting. Ahhhhhhhh~~~

[He lets out a long, deep yawn, stretching his limbs as he walks over to where he keeps his clothes to at least pull on a pair of fresh boxers. Climbing into bed with her, he curls up on his side facing Yoimiya, blinking at her slowly.]

Mmmmmm, come cuddle with me. I know we said we'd take it slow, but...I just need your presence next to me.

[ Feeding Hanabi like she normally does brought her out of that strange queen-like state, the logical part in her brain knows that she should be more concerned about losing her sense of self again so easily. And yet... she's so blissfully happy to be by Ajax's side. The powers the mark has over them are dreadfully strong and a whole other matter she should be worried about but, she can't get the image of Ajax fucking her until she's pregnant out of her mind. There's a pretty good chance this is the one that finally got her pregnant and she can't think about anyone other than him and their future child.

Ajax further proves he's the only thought floating through her mind as he strolls in the room with nothing but a fresh pair of underwear. She could admire those wonderful abs all day if he let her. Yoimiya eagerly scoots over to give him plenty of room to rest next to her, all the while her eyes study every inch of him and his perfect body. ]

Mmm, I don't mind at all. Cuddling with you is the perfect medicine to cure exhaustion.

[ There's no time like the present and without further delay, Yoimiya cuddles up close to him, nestling her face into his chest as she takes in his delightful scent. ]

Hehe, has anyone told you that you're way more cuddlier than a stuffed animal?

[His arm comes to drape over her as she scoots up against him, smiling tenderly down at her as she nestles her face into him and breathes him in. His sweet, precious Yoimiya, safe in his arms and exactly where she needs to be. He can already feel the weight of his drowsiness forcing his mind to shut down slowly, and the comfort she brings him from her body warmth alone is speeding the process up. What a perfect, soothing end to the day this is, with Yoimiya all curled up in his embrace.]

Am I? How did you determine that?

[He definitely doesn't squish like a stuffed animal, but every part of him wants to cuddle with her and not move until the next day, and only out of necessity at that.]

I'd say you're the one here who's the most cuddle-able. Ha, is that even how you'd say something like that? Hahaha.

Ooh, cuddle-able! I like that. Okay, that's what we'll go with. You are the most cuddle-able guy I've had the pleasure of laying with, hehe.

[ Bless you Ajax. Yoimiya always knew he had it in him to come up with some goofy words. Now he just has to think of silly names for himself and he's on his way to success. (˵•̀ᴗ - ˵ )

Just to test it out, Yoimiya gives him a poke to his bare chest, then another poke, then one more for good measure. Sadly, he doesn't squeak or squish like a plush but those pecs and abs are way more appealing to her than some stuffed bear. She only needs Ajax to cuddle with at night! ]

Hehe, you flatter me so. As for how I determined your [ a beat ] cuddle-ableness [ ??? ] No stuffed animal has your soft, luscious ginger hair or your stunning blue eyes that make me feel like I've been submerged in the deepest depths of the ocean.

[Somehow, he feels like he's going to regret being influenced by her and creating whole new words that don't exist. This is your fault Yoi, look what you did to this perfectly normal kid who didn't used to do that until he met you.

He looks down at her while she pokes him, playfully pulling back just slightly with every poke and blinking at her every time she connects.]

Hey. Hey! What...! Hey! You poke me and then serenade me with a poet's verse?

[Who does that???? Yoimiya, apparently!!!!]

Since when have those traits ever been that which determines if someone is cuddly or not? I think you're just buttering me up...do you want something from me? No fair using puppy eyes on me now, you know how I'm weak to them.

[Now he's gunna have to come up with some kind of poetic way of complimenting her...! What the heck]

[ This is your life now, Ajax. Hope you're prepared to come up with the silliest words and names for yourself. Come to the dark side, we have cookies, fireworks, and Hanabi over here.

That aside, Yoimiya giggles at his indignance, he pulls away and she just wants to poke him even more. So she does! Another poke he shall receive. He's always so funny and cute when he gives her the most incredulous reactions. Somehow, she gets the sense that she's one of the few people who could actually stupefy Nizhii company's professional kidnapper— Ajax Volkov. ]

How could you accuse me of doing something so dastardly?! Is it so wrong of me to compliment you on your cuddle-ableness? I can't believe you think I want something out of you. So mean...

[ She says with a visible pout in her tone, bulging out her honey doe-eyes to up the cute factor. She truly didn't think about using the dreaded puppy dog eyes on him but since he pointed it out, she's curious to see how far her manipulation tactics work on him. ]

Weren't we supposed to talk about something before we got sidetracked?

[ Blink. Blink. Look at how cute she is, Ajax! ]

[Poke! She pokes him again, inviting another stink eye coming from his direction, pointed right at her. It's almost like she's trying to start a fight here! He'd be okay with that! Fight him, Yoimiya!

Don't use those puppy eyes on him!

Which she does, she absolutely gives him the cutest, most irresistible look she can muster. Her eyes are so adorable when they're big like that, staring into his own, pleading and making him feel bad that he'd ever accused her of something so untrue. Cute, sweet, perfect Yoimiya...ugh, see, this is why she's not allowed to weaponize her puppy-dog eyes. Only he can use that look!]

Ugh...yes, we were...

[He sees how cute you are, Yoimiya, omg...]

I'm too tired to talk about it now. I just want to cuddle up and rest with my adorable little teddy bear here...

[Ajax forcibly cuddles right up to Yoimiya, tangling his legs with hers, and slipping an arm through hers to hold her close. He adjusts himself on the pillow to bury his head halfway into it, looking up at her with one eye and blinking slowly as he lets his body relax into the mattress.]

Do I get a goodnight kiss?

[ The stink eye elicits a giggle from this devilish brat. If it's a fight he wants, a fight he shall recieve. Yoimiya is tempted to continue their unspoken brawl by delivering one last poke to his pecs for good measure, only to be momentarily distracted by his desire to cuddle.

Ajax isn't beating the teddy bear allegations, his arms are the warmest, comfiest place to be. She's happy to return his sweet affections by nuzzling her face into his chest and rubbing her foot against his leg. ]

Only if you promise to have that conversation with me tomorrow! If you do, this lil teddy bear will give you the fluffiest kiss.

[ of course this silly man would make a silly request. Yoimiya brushes their noses together, barely ghosting his lips and deliberately depriving him of what he wants. ]

I'll even sweeten the deal and make you Inazuma's famous fluffy, jiggly pancakes for breakfast. [ dramatic pause ] Because I'm just that sweet!

[Are you that sweet, Yoimiya?! Are you????

Ajax lets out a frustrated sigh as she teases him with her lips. All he wanted was to kiss those luscious, plump lips of hers that always manage to mesmerize him with how nice they are...and now they're being held hostage from him by this little devil tangled up next to him. He lets out a small, involuntary whine when she pulls away, pouting that he didn't get his kiss.]

I promise, I was always going to sit down with you and talk about it. We just...had something a little more important to take care of, that's all.

[Who in their right mind would turn down having sex with Yoimiya anyway?]

So I expect to get these pancakes tomorrow. But for now, maybe I'll just steal a taste of some of Inazuma's fluffy, jiggly cakes that are right in front of me...

[He shamelessly shifts himself down enough to bury his face right into her chest, letting her soft boobs smother him as he rubs his head against them. Little content noises bubble up from between her breasts, having a good time down there and further revealing that this man is definitely a boobs guy lol]

[ SHE IS THE ABSOLUTE SWEETEST! >:c You're just a lil hater.

Yoimiya can't help but giggle to herself after obtaining that tiny victory. The score is now even between them! She just has to hope that Ajax doesn't come back with a vengeance. But regardless, he's definitely right. Having sex is way more important, they can always have their discussion the next day. After all, she wouldn't be a good queen if she didn't tend to her king's needs.

Now that their promise is set in stone, Yoimiya is in the middle of planning out the ingredients in her head until she feels something soft shoving himself right in between her breasts. Her giggles turn into full-blown laughter as she watches him lavish himself with her chest, rubbing his face against them as if he's worshipping the church of Yoitiddy. ]

Hahahahaha...! That kinda tickles.

[ Those purrs of contentment are the cutest thing. So, she can't help but want to indulge him a little. A hand comes up to the back of his head to gentle push him deeper into her soft, supple chest. Once that's done, she squeezes them around his head. ]

Goodness Ajax, I had a feeling you were a boob guy but I had no idea you were this down bad. You've been obsessed with my breasts from the moment you laid eyes on them.

[Good, he's glad it tickles. She can endure it while he takes what's owed to him- some alone time in the Church of Yoitiddy. There's a nice, long, sigh of content when she pushes him into her chest and squeezes them around him. Suffocating to death between Yoi's tiddies sounds like a great way to die if he isn't going to do it fighting to the death.]

I told you, they're nice boobs.

[That is the muffled response she gets while he continues to rub his face in them, giving them a little lick, and sucking on the side of one of them a little bit just for good measure.]

I won't waste any opportunities to enjoy them.

[ Oh no... if he dies from suffocation, does that make her murderer???? Are her boobs considered weapons of mass destruction? Things she needs to consider.

But murdering aside, Ajax looks like the happiest guy in the world as she squeezes her tits against his head. She makes a note to use her Yoitiddy to please his cock next time. If he's acting like this, she can't wait to see him lose his gd mind when he receives a titty fuck. ]

Hehehe, goodness. I've never had anyone appreciate my boobs on this level.

[ If she wasn't already spent, she'd be totally turned on by the attention her breasts are receiving. But as it stands, Ajax fucked her real good. She's still seeing stars and feeling the after-effects. Still, she can't help the sounds spilling out of her lips from the sensation of his warm tongue gliding across her sensitive skin. To reward him for his efforts, she brings a hand to the back of his head and begins to thread through that ginger mess with her fingers. ]

Now don't forget, we have a lot to discuss tomorrow. So make sure your brain gets plenty of rest and don't get distracted by my boobs all night long, mister.

[He lets out little moans of happiness at the sensation of her hands in his hair. She really knows how to spoil him, and he's grateful that she's letting him touch and fondle her any way he wants. So much for those dates they'd planned on, their marks had other plans for them and now he's fucked Yoimiya thoroughly and given her tiddies some much "needed" attention, according to him. But he still loves it, loves every second he gets to touch her and loves that she's been a great partner to him through this endeavor.]

Yeah, yeah...

[He says in dismissal, letting himself get very distracted by her boobs.]

Don't be cross with me though if all I dream about tonight is your chest. It's really something that gives me lots of food for thought.

[If he wasn't smothering himself in her boobs, he'd wink at her ;)]

[ This guy really cannot get enough of her boobs. Yoimiya snorts at his dismissal, his attitude reminding her of a teenage brat who successfully got his way and has no plans on letting go of his coveted "item". It's official: Ajax has to be one of the funniest guys she's had the pleasure of meeting. And it's all because he's so obsessed with Yoitiddy.

Ah well, if he wants to use her boobs as a pillow, she's not about to stop him. Instead, Yoimiya decides to cozy up to her own pillow while her hands thread through his hair like a baby fox receiving love and pets. ]

Don't worry, I won't! Heck, I'll be flattered if my breasts are all you see in your dreams tonight. Means that I have a profound effect on you.

[ Food for thought... she's pretty sure he wants to feast on her tits right about now. ]

If I catch you sucking on them in the middle of the night, then I'll assume you were your food for thought in your dreams, haha.

[ Since he can't wink from his position, she'll be happy to wink at him from here. (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧ ]

[A profound effect on him is an understatement. Yoimiya has changed his entire life, no thanks to the universe itself branding them and pulling them together into this strange relationship they've found themselves in. But since she doesn't mind it if he has a sex dream about her, he doesn't mind if he does! Yoitiddy is soft and warm and gives him nice, good, wet dreams. He'll also include that nice hand in his hair too, thank you very much.

He snorts in response to her, sighing with content as he basks in the glory that is the Yoitiddy, getting nice and comfortable. Her hand in his hair is soothing, and his body starts to feel heavy from both the relaxing sensation of her fingers threading into his hair and the effort of seeding her womb. He needs to recharge...and he's getting...so sleepy...]

Mmmmmmmmmm, [he murmurs against her skin,] I want a taste. Give me a taste...

[Ajax moves his head slowly, enough to latch his mouth right around her nipple and begins to suck on it, but he's also falling asleep at the same time...and soon, Ajax falls asleep with her tit in his mouth, snoring lightly through it and making her boob rumble with his snores.]

ZZZzzzzZZZZzzzz...

[ Ah, yes. There he goes, latching his mouth around her nipple and proceeding to suck on it like a baby. She's surprised he didn't immediately go for her buds sooner but with this man being Yoitiddy obsessed, it was bound to happen sooner rather than later. Yoimiya can't help but giggle at him, continuing the ministrations to his head for the wonderful service he's providing to her tits. She's too tired to moan or even get turned on, but she still relishes in that wonderful sensation of his wet mouth perking her nipples right up.

But before she gets too deep into his lovely mouth, he suddenly stops. Yoimiya glances down to see that he's fallen asleep with a breast inside of his mouth, and his snores thrumming against her boobs.

Hm...

It's a good thing she keeps a handkerchief on her nightstand. Yeah, definitely going to need that for when he inevitably drools all over her boobs. Ajax better be thanking his lucky stars that she's too exhausted to move, or else she'd be taking pictures left and right of this adorable scene. Ah well, she's sure he'll be back for more Yoitiddy time in the future. She softly giggles and pulls the covers over them, content to fall asleep in this position. ]

Sleep well, Ajax. You've earned it.

[ He fucked her several times, helped her destroy a monster, and with any luck, impregnated her womb. He's definitely earned himself a good night's sleep. Exhaustion hits her like a truck and soon, Yoimiya falls asleep right alongside him. ]

---

[ Darkness surrounds her, Yoimiya doesn't know where she's at and all she can make out is a set of stairs leading her to a door that's cracked open with the tiniest hint of light pouring out. At first, she's not quite sure what to do until she hears tiny sniffles and sobs coming from the door above her. Her body reacts on pure instinct, not at all hesitating to march up the stairs to check on the noise. The cries become louder and more needy, beckoning her to pick up the pace with a sense of urgency. Once she makes it to the top of the stairs and opens the door, the only thing inside the room is a baby's crib with a mobile adorned with stars, goldfish, and whales dangling off it.

She still can't make heads or tails out of this situation but somehow, she feels at peace knowing she's right where she's supposed to be. Slowly, she approaches the crib and begins to peer inside of it.

...

Only to be woken up with with a cold liquid pooling all over her chest. She shoots her eyes wide open to find that... as predicted, Ajax has drooled all over her boobs! Goodness, she saw this one coming from a mile away and still manages to throw her off. Well, she supposes this is what she gets for allowing him to fall asleep with her tit in his mouth. Still, she's not about to let him get away with that and immediately shakes him awake. Luckily for the pair, it's morning and definitely time for them to start the day.

As an apology for rudely waking up Ajax, she makes him the promised fluffy pancakes while he showers. As they eat breakfast, they make plans to go back to the cave to finally, hone their skills like they originally planned to do. Yoimiya packs them bentos for their lunch and off they go. Since it's still early, they take the opportunity to sneak back into the national park undetected, returning to the cave they fought the monster in. She's not sure if training at the spot that poor Ajax nearly drowned in is a good idea, but it is the most private spot of the park, perfect for training without anyone interrupting them.

Now, they just have to hope their urges don't get the better of them. But strangely, Yoimiya isn't hit with her insatiable appetite for sex. She actually felt... completely fine walking in the park with Ajax. But hey, that's a good thing, she isn't about to look a gift horse in the mouth. ]

If you're a good boy, I'll let you play with my boobs as soon as we're home.

[ She says with a shit-eating grin plastered all over her smug face. Yeah, she's absolutely still making fun of him for drooling all over her tits. ]

[That was one of the most sudden wake up calls he's ever had. Being shaken awake to the discovery that he'd passed out on her boobs and subsequently drooled all over her in his sleep wasn't on his bingo card for this year. Not totally unwelcome, but now his face is wet and it's all his own fault.

Though, it's a nice morning otherwise, being fed good Inazuman food and getting ready to start their day with doing what they meant to do in the first place the day before. Save for the teasing about how he slept the night before, it's all relatively uneventful and they reach the cave easily. A complete night and day shift from yesterday...where he had sex with her three times, got attacked by a monster, and poured the dark power inside of himself into her. He doesn't really know if what he'd attempted by doing that was successful and if it had any other side effects on her, but only time would tell...it's not like he can't take it back. And he doesn't want to take it back, as much as he might worry that she really is pregnant.

He dumps his backpack near the spot where he'd started having sex with her in the cave the day before, with all the signs of a struggle still apparent in there. The memories are terrifying, but this was still the best place to go to not be seen. He looks over to Yoimiya with a flat look, sighing in faux frustration.]

Now you're holding them over me like they're a grand prize that have to be earned according to your set stipulations...how cruel. Especially knowing how much I like them.

[He walks over to her and reaches out to give one of her tits a good squeeze, as an act of rebellion, before walking away and stretching his limbs out. It was a decent hike out here, and they've got a lot of work ahead of them. Better limber up.]

[ This guy... she should have known this trouble maker wouldn't be content to simply listen to her. Yoimiya shoots him and his grabby hands an incredulous look, unsure if she should feel flattered that he's this obsessed with her boobs, or judge him for being unable to keep his hands off her. (Spoilers: She's flattered.) Still, she makes a note to get her revenge later in hopes that Ajax turns his back to her so she can cop a feel of her own.

For now, she puts her plans to grab his ass on hold. On top of avoiding the rangers, it was a long hike to the cave, and she needs to get body warmed up before they start their training. Yoimiya follows suit, dropping her bag nexts to his and begins to stretch her arms over her head. As she's bending down to do some quick toe touches, a thought runs through her head.

How exactly should they start their training...? ]

Sooo, how do you think we should go about this?

[Still going through a few stretches of his own to make sure his muscles get the attention they need, he listens to her question...good question.]

Well, I figured a good place to start was to try to work through how we got them to work in the first place. We can do all the physical training we want, but then, we wouldn't of had to come here to do that.

[Standing up straight, he twists his torso back and forth a few times and shakes his limbs out. After that long hike out here, he feels a little better now. But here's where the scary part starts, at least for him- he's got a whole mentality, monster, and armor to figure out. For Yoimiya, he has no idea where it starts.]

Alright. Maybe we can start by walking through each of our experiences from yesterday. Do you remember what triggered your powers to become fully active again?

[ He's right, they could exercise and train until they pass out but the heart of the matters is understanding the mystery behind their powers so they'll be able to trigger it in desperate times. There's a pause on Yoimiya's end as she gathers her thoughts and recalls yesterday's events. Of course, she remembers all the sex they had up until that strange monster attacked them, she recalls panicking when Ajax got dragged underwater and her desperate attempts to conjure up her powers.

But that's the most concerning part of this whole mess; she couldn't stir up her powers right away and if she was even a second too late... she doesn't even want to think about what might have happened to poor Ajax. ]

It definitely when I saw that monster trying to absorb you. It was like... something inside of me just snapped, I couldn't bear the thought of losing you. I remember feeling like I was engulfed inside a raging tidal wave and before I knew it, the bow was back in my hands.

[ There's that strange connection to water once again. Which is quite puzzling considering her powers are all fire based. ]

I also recall that... hm... [ She pauses in an attempt to gather her thoughts to make heads or tails out of... whatever this is. ] You know that whole royalty thing we say to each other during sex? During the attack, I couldn't stop thinking about you as my king and that I needed to step up and save you as your queen.

[Ajax tries to process everything as she says it, putting each point in a box and seeing what correlations there are and what possibilities lie within them. The first part is very romantic in a way, he won't deny it, and there's a part of him that's flattered by her admission. But it comes at no surprise given the strange magically-induced vows that they've made to each other when having sex. At least the source of all that isn't hard to figure out, so he skips over that.

What's interesting is what she says next, and he starts to ponder the possibilities there and what it all means.]

So, thinking of each other as a king and queen goes past our strange urges to have sex and have a baby. I experienced the same. At first, I thought that it was just all part of the process to get us to have sex, but now...it goes much farther than that.

[Which only brings more questions than answers. His brow furrows as he thinks on it more.]

That...thing inside of me came to the surface shortly after your powers returned to you. I felt the overwhelming desire to protect you as my queen, and though I didn't want to rely on its power, I knew I needed to...thus resulting in the assistance I provided to you. That still doesn't explain why I didn't sense its presence the first time I used my powers, but I'm starting to believe I simply had no idea to resist it in the heat of the moment back then, or that it hadn't had time to really mature within me for me to notice its presence.

[Ajax wishes that this was easier to understand, but things will never be so simple for them, he knows. There's only one thing right now that seems to tie it all together, and it's the pure necessity of the power to stay alive...which he doesn't like, either.]

As it stands, our power doesn't want to truly reveal itself to us unless necessary, but there's got to be a way around it. Perhaps if we try to enter that strange state of royalty, we can come to wield our powers on command...but to be frank, I haven't felt the slight bit of that yet today.

[Not once has he had the urge to fuck her either. That's kind of nice, but at the same time, weird given the history of their marks influencing their minds.]

[ This mystery is enough to cause her brain to go into overdrive. The more they attempt to make sense of this, the deeper the rabbit hole goes. Yoimiya stays silent for a few good seconds, needing a short moment to process everything Ajax lays out. She's flattered to hear that also experienced the same passionate need to protect her but as sweet as it is, that just leaves her with more questions than answers.

The top one being... why? Why do they suddenly act like royalty?

Yoimiya taps her chin in deep thought but try as she might, no concrete answers come to mind. She's never been the type of woman to analyze every little detail, so you know it's bad when she can't conjure up anything that would make logical sense. She sighs and mentally throws in the towel, resigning to the fact that this mystery will not be solved anytime soon. But Ajax does bring up a good point, maybe if they tried to enter that strange state of royalty, there's a good chance they'll be able to summon their powers.

There is one problem. ]

Me either. Aside from y'know... [ She vaguely gestures ] everything that's going on, I actually feel normal for once, that strange royal thing hasn't entered my mind at all today. I haven't thought about you as my king not even once. Along with that, I haven't had that insatiable appetite to have sex with you either.

[ Which is a good thing in hindsight. As amazing as the sex is, they will not get to the bottom of this case if they keep fucking all day. However, it is strange given the weird baby fevor they kept experiencing. ]

But more importantly, how are you feeling? I was really worried about you after we had that battle, you were silent and sweating an awful lot. It also looked like you conjured up a new type of power... there was weird fog coming out of your armored arm.

[Why hasn't he wanted to have sex with her today? She raises a good point that reinforces what he was already thinking about. When he searches his own feelings in this moment, he finds that he only wants to fuck her a normal amount. There isn't a trace of the overwhelming feeling to fuck her into pregnancy like he had the day before. Yesterday, however, he did something to her. Used that dark energy inside of himself and put it in her...something else he's been thinking about.]

Well...

[He knows this will probably scare her. He doesn't want to scare her, he doesn't want to make her worry, but at the same time he can't keep trying to hide it. It's going to come out sooner or later, so he takes a minute to take a big breath in and out as he sorts out what really happened to him during that moment.]

That presence inside of me is a lot more powerful than what I originally gave it credit for. It was there, ready to give me the power to fight off that monster, and I took it. That fog was probably the result of my willingness to utilize the power of that monster and the dark armor. I was afraid I'd lose myself and that monster inside of me would take over my body and mind, but I felt it was necessary to save you. Thankfully, it didn't, and I was able to retain my own consciousness, save for slipping fully into the "king" personality. However, I could feel how it influenced my mind, and every second that we were making that strange creature suffer by our attacks made me gleeful and satisfied. It's like...I felt offended that the creature we were fighting was so weak and pathetic in my eyes. The monster inside of me kept whispering to me to let go and accept who I really am, and its dark influence was spreading out through my whole body. I fought it off as best as I could, so I didn't fall to it's influence, but...it frightened me.

[He looks down at the ground, a little ashamed to have to admit to something like that. Ajax feels so vulnerable, like he doesn't have control of himself or the situation around them, and it feels terrible.]

And yet, it's that monster and the power within me that I know I'll have to rely on to stay alive. It wants me to become that "king" that comes out during sex or those desperate times, and it wants me to let it out from the place I have it locked in inside of me.

So I think I know how to bring my own powers out again, but as for the cost...

[ The look on Ajax's face says it all, he's about to make a confession that he really doesn't want to. Seeing him like this, she can't help but take a long breath alongside him and mentally steel herself for what he's about to tell her. But no matter what, Yoimiya swears that she will always stand by his side through thick and thin. They've jumped hoops and boundaries to get to where they are at now, and she's not going to let anything stand in the way of their partnership.

Yoimiya listens to him in rapt attention but no amount of perseverance could prepare her for what he has to say. Her eyes widened in shock as she took in every word, she had a feeling that he saw that monster again but to hear that Ajax took great pleasure in ending that creature's existence is something else. He might be committing atrocities in the name of the Nizhii company, but he's never once struck her as someone who is sadistic and craves the suffering of others. It's scary to think their powers could bend his personality into something more twisted. Her heart truly aches for Ajax, she can tell that he's frightful of the thing lurking inside of him, and she doesn't blame him.

There's a lot she wishes to say, a lot of questions she'd like to ask him. However, none of that matters to her, not when Ajax is going through so many conflicting emotions. Without a second thought, she reaches over to grab his hand, brushing over his knuckles with her thumb. ]

Then, we won't worry about bringing out your powers, it's not worth you having to face that monster every time.

[ Of course, they can't avoid it forever. As much as she'd like to not face any more monsters, fighting is inevitable at this point. Even so, she hopes that maybe, just maybe, Ajax won't have to rely on the creature inside of him to fight. ]

I know we just met and... well, I won't deny that this mark is influencing some of our thoughts and feelings but I can say with absolute certainty that you're way more important to me than summoning some silly powers. Fighting is probably unavoidable at this point but why don't we focus on finding ways to defend ourselves without the use of our powers? Maybe if we start with that, we'll unlock new ways of fighting back.
