Animal Girl of Sabertooth. Rogue x OC

Chapter Twelve

Glancing around the un-finished room, I grumble, realising I won't be here for when it's finished. The walls are all completely finished, but the furniture is scattered and some things are un-built. The curtains are hung up and pulled neatly away to show the soon to be lowering sun.

Throwing a few more items into the suitcase, undergarments, fishnet stockings, a few toiletries followed by a few pieces of attire for Violet along with a nail file. She does love to file her nails. The suitcase is very small, as we don't need much. It isn't a long trip.

Arms wrap around my waist the moment I begin to zip it up. Soothing circles rubbing through the tight silver shirt that's clasped around my bodice. My hair is shifted to the side as faint kissed are pressed against my neck making me weak at the knee's.

"Are you sure you don't want me coming with you?" Rogue's breathe tingling my skin as I slowly finish zipping up the case and turning around in his arms. His head tilted and his hair still up in a ponytail. Still wet from the pool's water. Also only in his swimming trunks, still.

"Rogue, I've dealt with this animal before, besides, you need to relax, take some time off because the games have just passed. With Lythious's speed, I'll be there and back before next week comes in." I smile softly at the end. Wrapping my arms around his neck and pressing a kiss on his lips before pulling back. Knowing I won't want to leave if I continue.

"You're just mad because you'll be in an empty bed for a week." I mutter. Rogue releasing a throaty grumble at the reminder. Not even home a few days before I'm suddenly called away for an immediate job request. Well. Jewels are jewels, it could potentially be put towards the new furniture for the room.

Unwrapping his arms around my waist, he walks towards his bags and gets changed into loose clothing. Laughing faintly, I pull the suitcase towards the door, Rogue catching up and walking at my side towards the main hall. Where a few people are drinking in their swimming suits.

"Revelli!" Violet calls out, a towel wrapped around her body. A smile adorning her face as she quickly dries off her fur. Sting and Yukino following after her along with Lector and Frosche. Smiling faintly, I drop the suitcase on the floor. Scooping up Violet and helping her dry herself.

"So you've done this before, Revelli?" Yukino asks, tilting her head, I nod my head in response. Scrubbing the towel over Violet's head, in between the ears. Violet purring in response as her head shakes underneath my hand.

"Long before you joined Yukino, I went on a job to a town on the border far up north. A wild animal was attacking the town and for my magic is animals, I went on it. I didn't kill it but lead it to a human-less forest where it seems to have stayed for a few years. But apparently it made its way back." I grumble, folding the parchment that Sting hands out to me.

"It's not dangerous if it can't get close to you." I finish, seeing a worried glance flash through her eyes. "It only takes a few hours, but the travel is extremely long via train, it's half the time by Lythious who's agreed to fly us."

"Well, stay safe." Yukino smiles and waves. I nod, throwing the towel onto a nearby table. Rogue picking up my suitcase, Frosch following close behind us as we make our way outside. Only metres out the front door, Lythious's magic circle embedding itself into the ground before Lythious materialises.

Cawing and flapping his wings. His talons wrapping around the suitcase which Rogue set down. Violet hugging Frosch before sitting on the front of the saddle. Smiling faintly, I lean down, kissing Frosch's forehead before standing up, grabbing Rogue into a firm embrace. My eyes noticing Sting, Yukino and Lector smiling, smirking and snickering.

Them waving as they see my eyes glaring daggers at them. Leaning back, I press my lips once again to Rogue's before leaving his hold, swinging my leg over Lythious's saddle. Pulling Violet down to rest against my stomach, her paws gripping the saddle tightly with one paw, the other holding my attire.
