Chapters with a * in the future will have some form of (R18) in them. This is also my first attempt at a lemon/smut so forgive me if it sucks.

=========================

Japan, Kuoh

Jin Skyward

Kuroka and I had come back from our date, she was happily clinging onto me. We had decided to teleport into the park in Kuoh. We would walk back home from there. Kuroka was the one who suggested this. I didn't mind, so I did what she asked for.

"So warm nya~"

She was pleased with the day. We walked back in silence, basking in each other's warmth, the streetlights illuminating our path on our way home.

...

I open the door into my— Our home, and it seemed like everyone was still up, were they waiting for us? Cúntóir, time?

Cúntóir: Answer: 10:48 p.m.

We walked into the living room and everyone was present there. Kuroka pecks me on the lips and trots over to Akeno and Ingvild as they were sitting on the same couch.

"We're back."

I say to them, and they turn their attention towards us. Kuroka had made it to the couch and plopped beside Akeno while taking her coat off.

"Did you do anything special while we were gone?"

I ask the room. Kuroka grinned at Akeno.

"I'm second nya."

As, she finally breaks into a fit of happy nyas and started pumping her fist in the air.

I guess she was holding back to do that in front of Akeno... So competitive. I could help but snort at her antics. After hearing that, I could see Akeno's eyes widen, and she starts to pout.

"I promise you, that I will definitely be third and first at something else, Kuroka!"

She announces with a strange determination, causing the girls to give her weird looks and Kuroka to start laughing.

Kuroka eventually stopped laughing and the questioning started.

"How was it? Where did you end up? How was Hokkaido? What did you eat?"

And all other sorts of questions. To my surprise, even Ingvild was curious and asked a few questions, to which Kuroka was happy to answer.

Akeno was taking notes, not literally though, but mentally as she wanted to be prepared for her date tomorrow. I walk over to Grayfia as she was also listening in the younger girl's conversation.

"We went to a Zoo! I didn't think they'd have so many animals there, I tried to talk to the lions and tigers... But they didn't understand me, or they just ignored me, then that's just rude nya!"

Which earned a few giggled from the girls. I reach where Grayfia was sitting and wrap my arms around her neck and lay my head on her shoulder.

"The meerkats were pretty cool though; they were talking about how we humans all looked stupid."

I chimed in, earning some weird looks aimed my way. After a brief moment of silence, Grayfia speaks up.

"You can understand animals?"

"Yeah, I can also hear the thoughts of inanimate objects that have trapped souls in them, or energies that have been absorbed by them. But yeah, I can understand and speak to animals. A lot of them are rude, only a few are somewhat kind."
