Are You Afraid? (Lesbian Story)

Chapter 22

Nyx was laying on the couch on her stomach watching tv. Lyall had gone back to her family so once again, she and I were alone.

I had just finished making dinner and I brought her plate over to her where she sat up to allow me to sit beside her and give her some food.

"Thank you." She smiled happily. "You spoil me too much." She picked up her plate and started eating and continued to watch TV.

"I'm not spoiling you, I'm protecting my kitchen." I admitted.

"Your kitchen? I payed for half of it." She narrowed her eyes at me.

I laughed and ate my own food as we watched TV together.

"I'm glad."

"Glad? Why?"

She looked at me with a soft smile. "Because it doesn't feel like anything's changed. Like we never found out each other's secret. Like our biggest concern is whether or not we'll pass the next exam." She admitted.

"I don't want our relationship to change."

"I do."

I rolled my eyes and leaned against her, resting my head on her shoulder. "I meant in a negative way. I'd like for it to change romantically."

She wrapped an arm around me, setting her plate down. "Me too." She pressed a kiss to the top of my head.

"I'm glad that things turned out the way they did. There's more trust between us now."

"Yeah. It's a nice feeling." She admitted. "A warm and loving one."

This feeling was odd, and hard to explain. It felt like nothing but our relationship had changed. Like we didn't know each other's secret, but rather we never had any to begin with. It was like this was a normal relationship, as normal humans going about their everyday lives.

It was the kind of relationship we would have wanted considering we both didn't enjoy the lives we had. To be honest I hated the guild, and I would love to be able to leave it. But I doubt they'd let me just walk out.

Nyx yawned softly, covering her mouth with her hand.

"I guess you're tired." I smiled.

"Only a bit." She admitted. "I mean I'd love for a nap, but I can stay awake."

"Are you sure?"

"I'm sure." She laughed.

"But you know... it is kinda late." I told her with a smirk.

"Are you tired?" She asked.

"We did eat a late dinner because of all the bull shit today."

Nyx's expression flipped and a frown crossed her face.

"What's wrong? We killed Dominique today."

"We killed one villain, but there's still someone framing me and using my face to make the guild think I'm a monster." She explained.

I looked at her with sadness in my eyes. "You're not a monster. Jenkins knows this and so do I. You're not a monster. You're a wonderful, fantastic person, and you should give yourself more credit."

She smiled softly. "Thank you."

"And you should relax a little more."

"Relax?"

"When you hold me like this I can feel how tense you are." I told her. "Is something else wrong?"

She flexed her other arm. "That's just my rock hard abs."

I laughed. "Well they are attractive."

"You like to watch me when I'm changing?"

"We live together..."

"True. Very true." Nyx smiled. "I like the birthmark in the middle of your back. It kinda looks like a paw print."

"What?!" I sat up trying to reach for my back. "Seriously?!"

She touched her finger to the small of my back. "Right here." She explained as her other arm wrapped around me and pulled me towards her, resting her chin on my shoulder.

My body instantly relaxed to her touch and I leaned back into her. "So... do you think you'll ever go back to Exodious?"

"Not as long as you're here." She answered. "If you'll let me, I'll stay with you as long as I can."

"I'm glad. I don't want you to leave me." I told her.

"I won't. I'll stay with you." She kissed the side of my neck softly and a quiet gasp escaped my lips at her touch.

"N-Nyx, I'm not ready." I told her.

"Neither am I." She admitted. "But I want to kiss you."

"K-Kissing's okay. We can kiss." I answered. She released her grip allowing me to turn around and face her where my arms wrapped around her neck and I smiled softly. "I'll let you know when I'm ready, I promise."

"Take your time." Nyx smiled. "There's no rush."

"Thank you." I answered with a smile of my own, before leaning forward and capturing her lips with my own.

I'm not sure how long we kissed for, but by the time we were done, I was exhausted.

"Damn you're a good kisser." I muttered.

"Practice makes perfect." She explained.

"That's not really something I want to know. Sloppy seconds."

She narrowed her eyes. "Sloppy? I'm definitely not sloppy."

"Are you sure?"

"I'm insulted." She scoffed.

"Come on then. Off to bed you weirdo." I told her with a laugh as I stood up with a stretch.

She stood up beside me "Alrighty. You're bed or mine?"

"Mine, because if you're in yours then you'll probably sleep naked." I answered.

"Aw. You don't want to see me naked?"

"I don't want to feel you naked."

"How rude. Go get ready for bed. I'll go change." She laughed and headed upstairs and into her room. I went into the bathroom and brushed my teeth before heading upstairs where Nyx was laying in my bed with the pillow over her head.

"Keep the pillow there please." I told her.

"Well, I've already seen you naked, so I don't get why it matters but okay." She answered as I changed.

"We're dating now, so it kinda feels weird having you look at me while I'm naked." I admitted.

"I understand, no worries." She laughed.

I climbed into the bed beside her and she removed the pillow to look at me before wrapping her arms around my waist and under my shirt so she could absorb my mana. "I love you."

"I love you too Nyx. I really, really do." She raised her head and kissed me softly before snuggling into me.

My arms wrapped around her and I held her close to me. I honestly couldn't imagine life, any other way.
