The Fox and The Cat (Lesbian Story, OLD)

Chapter 23

I set the window in place and stepped back, admiring our work. When I turned around, Akeno set a vase of flowers on the desk in our brand new room.

It had been a few weeks of constant labor, but finally, the house was done, exactly the way we wanted it. With a workshop, study, and master bedroom.

And not one visit from Edon.

Bonus!

Akeno hugged me tightly, bouncing a bit in her excitement. "I take it you like the house?" I smiled.

"I love this house because we built it together!" She answered. "So I think that it's amazing!"

"I think so too." I nodded as I hugged her back tightly. "So when are you going to explain why I crave apples whenever you get horny?"

She growled and pushed away from me. "Now's not the time for that!" She complained.

"I'm curious though!"

"I don't know and even if I did, I wouldn't tell you!" Akeno answered.

"You're silly." I laughed.

"I'm silly!? You're asking about our sex life!"

"Technically just yours." I shrugged.

"You are so cruel." She shook her head like she was super disappointed in me. I couldn't hold back my laughter.

"So anyways. Would you like to take our first bath in the indoor bath?" I asked.

Her ears perked up and she smiled brightly. "Can we?"

"Of course, grab your things!"

She grabbed a change of clothes before running into the bathroom. I grabbed my own clothes and followed her in, taking one last look at our master bedroom.

The big double bed was against the middle far wall, opposite the door. The covers were red and there were red drapes hanging over the bed's frame. On the right side of the room was the door to the bathroom, and on either side was a dresser. The one left of the door was mine, and the other was Akeno's.

Opposite to that was a desk and two book shelves on either side of that. Akeno thought I could use a desk, she said I should write down what I dreamt about because they could have been visions.

I went into the bathroom finding her already stripping out of her clothes as the tub was filled. Using mostly gravity as the river was up a small hill, the water filled the tub and could easily be stopped by a cork. Another cork held the water in the bath. When that was unplugged, the water was released outside over Akeno's new flower garden.

Waste not want not.

She jumped into the bath and smiled happily as her warm skin heated up the water quickly.

"You're supposed to light a fire under it." I laughed.

"You have a Fire Fox, stop complaining." She answered. "Get in the water."

"Yes ma'am." I shook my head slightly before stripping myself and getting into the water. Quite a few times apples crossed my mind, but I kept my eyes away from Akeno's as not to fall under that spell of her's that completely eats away at my mind.

"Akeno, my eyes are up here." I smiled.

"S-sorry." She answered, tearing her eyes away from my body. I couldn't help but smile at how cute she was. She wanted to be innocent, but I had completely robbed her of that innocence. It was a nice feeling. Though an awkward one.

Go away apples.

"I'll make you an apple pie." Akeno smiled.

"I'd really like to know what is up with me and apples." I rolled my eyes but smiled when Akeno snuggled herself into me, her tail pressing against my stomach as she wrapped it around me. My tail found itself doing the same thing to her, holding her closer to me, and not giving her the chance to let go.

"Who knows?" She answered with a shrug. "Maybe you'll find out later or something."

"I hope so. Its very confusing."

"Don't want to think about apples when we're mating?" She questioned with a smirk.

"Honestly, I want to be sitting with you." I answered. "And enjoying our bath together."

"Is that so?" She snuggled her nose into the crook of my neck.

"Indeed it is, love." I answered.

"I'll take your word for it." Akeno practically purred into the side of my neck.

"I'm glad you planned to." I nodded a bit. We sat together, basking in the warmth of the bath. After what was probably an hour we stepped out of the bath and dressed ourselves.

I found myself wincing at a pain in my side, and Akeno quickly caught notice of it. When I turned to head out she was watching me with a worried expression.

"I think its just from where I got stabbed. I didn't feel comfortable with Minerva licking it healed or whatever." I shrugged.

"And you've been living with it the whole time?" She asked.

"It hasn't really even hurt at all the whole time" I answered. "So relax."

"But you have a wound... May I look at it?" She questioned, watching me hopefully.

"The medical supplies are in the kitchen." I answered.

She smiled and we went into the kitchen together. I sat in a chair she pulled into the middle of the room, while she went looking for the med kit. When she found it she set it on the table and started cleaning the wound.

I probably didn't make it easy for her at all with all my twitching and whining and just being a complete pain really. At one point she actually growled at me.

How rude.

"Done. Finally." She muttered the last word but I still heard it. Especially because she rolled her eyes to add to it.

"You're rude." I glared.

"Hold still next time." She answered.

"It hurt though!" I complained.

"Poor kitty cat." She taunted. "I'll be in our room, combing my tail." She was about to leave when I grabbed her wrist and pulled her back into my embrace which she at first didn't expect, but quickly regained her composure and raised her eyebrow like I was doing something stupid.

"Don't leave me all alone." I smiled.

"Then come with me. Actually, why don't you comb it?"

"I'd love to comb it." I answered as I released her and we walked back to our room. We sat on the bed and I grabbed her comb and started pulling it through her damp tail, getting all the knots out till her fur was silky soft, and perfectly pettable.

Eventually, as I was combing just to comb, she fell back against me, sound asleep in my arms. I had to try so hard not to laugh at her, but I rested her down against the bed and tucked her in before taking my spot beside her and closing my own eyes.

I welcomed sleep's embrace.
