Love Far Beyond the Ashes

Being Carried

Kiara pov: "Calli, can you carry me?" I asked

"Sure, darling," I said.

"She is a suckup." Pomu whispered into my ear.

I giggled a little bit at that comment; it was cute, to be honest, then I realized that Pomu was on me. I grabbed her and chucked her at Selen. "What the hell!?" She yelled

"No free rides!" I yelled

"I don't want her to ride me!" Selen shouted, "Well, I do..." Selen said

"Phrase your fucking words better," Mumei said.

Calli kneeled down and let me get on her back, and she lifted me up. "You're heavy." She commented

"I'll give you two seconds to rephrase that," I said.

"Your body is perfect!" Wawa said

"That's better, Calli," I softly said.

"Hey Ela, do you need to be carried?" Zeta asked

"Oh yeah, that'd be nice." She panted

Zeta picked her up bridal style and continued to walk. I wish Calli held me like that, but she won't for some reason.

"Mumei, carry me!" Fauna asked

"No, carry me!" Kronii said louder.

"I love both of you, but I promise you I can't carry both of you." Mumei said

"Well, Kronii could piggyback ride you, and then Fauna gets on Kronii." Calli suggested

"That sounds stupid," I said.

"And it would look ridiculous," Mumei sighed.

"You say I'd be ridiculous?" Calli said

"Yeah, it would be pretty weird to look at that," I said.

Calli began to pout, and I groaned. She is cute, but when someone calls out her ideas, she gets all upset and will pout for hours or days. I don't really know why she is like that; it's sexy, though.

She's adorable and cute and pretty, and-"Kiara!" Calli stated snapping me out of my thoughts

"What Calli?" I asked

"You are pinching me," she pointed out.

"Oh sorry!" I replied

I wish I could fly. It's hard to fly when carrying other people. I want to fly, though it'd be much faster that way.

Calli caught up to Mumei, who looked in my direction.

"How are you holding up?" She asked me

"I don't know what you mean," I replied.

"How is everything going? Are you okay?" Mumei asked

"Sure, I think Calli is soft," I stated.

"I'm soft?" Calli questioned

"Yup," I told her.

"Mumei, carry us!" Kronii and Fauna said it again.

"No!" she replied.

They were adamant about something that isn't even possible to do, but Mumei still smiled and looked happy about it.

"So where are we going?" I asked Azure -papa

"We are just going to the pond," he said.

"Yup, the pond is relaxing for vacation time," Mumei said.

She seemed excited about this trip, so this pond probably is nostalgic to her; she has a ton of memories of this pond that seem pretty interesting to me. I want to know what's so special about the pond and why she seemed to take so much interest in if maybe something special has happened there.

"How far until the pond? I'm dehydrated!" Finana said

"Not too long," Mumei said.

I wondered why she was so nice to her, but they seemed to be on a familiar basis somehow.

"I don't really want to swim again," Zeta said.

"I won't try to drown you again." Finana said

"You better hope you don't damn it." Zeta hissed

"I thought cats didn't like water," Mumei said.

"We don't," Zeta replied.

"You are a cute cat," I said.

"I'm not a cat." Zeta replied

"Yes, you are," Mumei stated.

"True!" Zeta said.

"So are you a cat or not?" Calli asked

"No!" Zeta said.

This whole thing confused me, so is Zeta a cat or not, and why does she keep changing her answer whenever Mumei calls her a cat rather than someone else?

"So the rundown is this: I'm Zeta's oshi, and she really likes me, so whenever I call her a cat, she accepts it because her beloved Senpai called her a cat. Meanwhile, you really mean nothing to her, so she doesn't want you to call her a cat," Mumei explained.

That sounded ruder than it probably is. Zeta just really likes Mumei, but the way she phrases it sounds off.

"Mumei-senpai is the sweetest," Zeta said.

I could have sworn Zeta would be all over Mumei if Kaela didn't exist.

"She would; she has confirmed she would," Mumei said.

Sometimes I'm glad that Mumei can read minds because my thoughts can be answered. She is mindful not to be too intrusive with my thoughts as well, which is good.

"We are almost there," says Azure. -Papa said

"No, we aren't," Mumei said.

"Yes, we are," Azure -Papa stated

I don't know who to believe in this situation. Selen looked back and saw Finana was limping and fell back. "I'll carry you," she offered much to Pomu's jealousy.

I didn't want to butt into this, despite the fact that Pomu is my friend. I'm not really into being nosy.

"You probably should help Pomu," Calli suggested.

"Oh, can you read minds too?" I asked

"No, you just looked in that direction and then started to squeeze me tightly again." Calli said

I was shocked to know that Calli figured out all my mannerisms, but then again, she is my wife, so she should know this stuff.

"We're here!" Azure-Papa said.

Selen walked up to the water and threw Finana in. "Are you happy?" She asked, and her voice kind of seemed passive-aggressive.

"Selen I guess since we can't fight since I'm on vacation, I'll challenge you to a swim battle," Mumei said.

"Fly first, then swim!" Selen said

"Fine," Mumei sighed.

The two of them soared off, leaving Pomu behind.

"You're jealous, aren't you?" I asked

"Yeah, Selen is more considerate towards Finana than me!" Pomu said

I didn't think that was the case, but how to explain that to Pomu? I think it's similar to Mumei; she cares for everyone, she just has trouble expressing it.

Or I could be wrong. I have been before.
