After Tale - Rising of the Shield Hero FF

After Tale - Chapter 4

Chapter 4 – Sweet Dreams

It's 10 am in the morning. Raphtalia has been awake for 2 hours already but wasn't able to get up. Why? Well, a certain man decided to hug her so tight in his sleep so there is no escape. But the Tanuki Girl doesn't mind at all, she just enjoys how he digs his sleepy face between her breasts.

"Fufufu...Naofumi-sama, you're being so clingy, it's cute." She gently strokes through his black hair. "You're like a baby." Raphtalia is blushing and giggling. She squeaked as he hugs her more tightly. Is he having a bad dream perhaps? She couldn't control herself but having some lewd thoughts. It's like a voice in her head is telling her to literally ravish him but at the same time, she's too ashamed to do so.

Before this gets any closer to something they will regret later, Raphtalia decides to wake up her beloved Master. "Naofumi-sama...it's morning, wake up", she gently whispered as she poked his cheek. But it almost seems impossible to wake him. She's surprised he is still able to breathe, the way he presses his face against her.

Just in this moment, the shield hero began to move his face and arms. His hand is stroking over her spine and his wet breath touches her soft, naked skin. Raphtalia immediately got goosebumps all over her body as she tries to push him away. "Naofumi-sama please wake uuup!" but he refused to let go. As she felt something hard touching her thigh, she looked down and squealed in embarrassment.

"Noooo!" She pushes him again, so hard that he fell out of the bed, what directly pulled him out of his sleep. "Hm?? Raphtalia??" She jumped out of the bed, the blanked wrapped around her body and left his room screaming "I'm so sorry!!"

He blinks in confusion and looks around the room. "God, forgive me for whatever I've done in my sleep." He knows damn well what he did, comparing how real his dream felt. It was the first night sharing the bed with her as his partner and he already had a "special type of dream". Naofumi would call it a nightmare but he has to admit that he actually enjoyed having her so close.

He sat a little while on the floor to calm down, then he stood up to get to have breakfast. He rushed down to the dining room and of course he had to run right into her.

"A-ah...Naofumi-sama..." "Good morning" "Y-yeah, good morning..."

Normally he wouldn't care much but now he is worried that she's mad at him. "Did you had breakfast already?" "N-no I uhm...wanted to check if you are alright. I pushed you pretty hard." He pat her head. "I'm fine. What do you want for breakfast?" Raphtalia is still a little red in the face but she nodded as she spoke "I'd like some yoghurt with berries..."

"It shall be done." Naofumi disappeared into the kitchen as she sat down to the table. The silence is making her even more nervous, for once she wished that Filo was here. It didn't take long until he joined her at the table. He gave her the requested bowl of yoghurt with her favorite fruits. "Thank you."

He made himself toast with eggs and bacon on top. They silently ate their breakfast without saying anything. The silence broke when both spoke up "I'm sorry!" Both looking at each other in visible confusion. "I'm sorry, Raphtalia. For whatever I've done to you in my sleep." "No no, I am sorry for pushing you out of bed! I was just shocked when I saw...I saw your..." She gulped.

"What do you mean?" "You know what I mean, stop teasing me!" "I'm not teasing you."

"Th-there was something...uh...hard?" "Oh, that...yeah that's quite normal for a man in the morning." Raphtalia looks at him not really understanding what he meant. "Uhm...okay?"

They finished breakfast. "By the way Naofumi-sama...did you had a nightmare? You pressed yourself so hard onto me that I was a little worried..." Oh no, now he thinks of that dream again. He couldn't help but his cheeks turned a little red "Uhm yeah...a bad dream like most of the times."

As she looked a bit closer she noticed the blush and giggled. "What is it, Raphtalia?"

"Ah it's nothing. Thank you for the breakfast" she smiled at him and stood up again.

Ahhh, it's been a year since I last uploaded this, I'm sorry! But I got into writing it again due to the news that Naofumi and Raphtalia are officially a couple at Volume 21 of the Light Novel. I hope you enjoyed this small chapter :)
