Chapter 96 The Thing That Finally Did It

"Looks like you just can't catch a break. Still, I think you both know it's a matter of duty this time, so we can just say it doesn't count for the first time!" Melody said with a smile, and Firaga nodded.

"I was already for this, but then one called Sofia told me of what you have planned, and what we are going to do. I think that we should make haste of this so we can leave as soon as possible," Firaga explained, and I sighed, nodding.

This sounded more like we were making a quick transaction, but it was what it was.

"We will leave you two alone, but at least put the shiny edition on a bed for her first time," Melody teased and then turned into a small bird to fly away before anyone could reply.

"She is a fascinating person," Gaia said.

"She is a very strange person," Firaga said, and I laughed at the two of them.

"Yes, she is all of the above, but she is my person just like you two. Now, to our… business exchange…." I said a bit awkwardly.

Gaia smiled and disappeared into the tree as I walked over to Firaga, and she stood up before me.

"Are you ready?" I asked, and Firaga nodded.

"I am. Let's do this," Firaga said, and I chuckled, making her ask, "What is so funny?"

"You and your straightforwardness are cute. It makes me smile and laugh," I replied and took her hand, leading Firaga out of the water.

We both heated our bodies simultaneously as we walked downstairs that formed under our feet, leading us to a room I had just finished creating. It was nothing special, but it was nice and private, and I made a large bed in the center of the room.

"Did you just make this?" Firaga asked, and I nodded.

"Yeah, it took about five minutes," I replied as we walked over to the bed, and then she turned to me.

"You are really amazing. I don't say that lightly since I really don't like anything other than consuming metal. You are always willing to put in extra effort to get what you want, but you also know when you need to act above all. Your choice to wait for this was understandable after I had talked to Melody and Gaia, but your resolve in the face of adversity is what I respect. You are protecting what is important to you," Firaga told me, and I nodded.

"I want to live in peace, read books, and spend time with all you girls, but these asshole Villains keep getting in the way. You and I are going to go and kick some serious ass out there, but to do that, we need to do this," I said, stepping closer to Firaga, but like Melody, she only came up to my chest.

"I am ready, but I don't know what I am supposed to do," Firaga explained, and I nodded.

"I have a bit of experience, so you just need to lay back and relax. We don't have much time, but I will not rush this any more than needed," I explained and pulled Firaga into a kiss.

At first, she gave no response, and I felt awkward trying to kiss her, but slowly she started to return. It was almost like Firaga had taken a moment to analyze what I was doing so she could mimic it.

Once she started to get into it, I pulled away with a smile, and Firaga looked at me, confused. Without saying anything, I pulled us down to the bed, and we bounced slightly on our sides.

"You really like the feeling of falling?" Firaga asked me, and I smiled.

"I hadn't really thought about it like that, but I guess so," I said, and Firaga's lips curved ever so slightly.

"I think that I enjoy it too. I was confused the first few times, but when you told me you did it just because you liked it, I started to think about it differently. I weigh a lot, so I don't think I could fly even if I grew wings like you. When you fall with me, I feel weightless for that brief moment," Firaga explained, and I laughed at her, making her frown, but then I kissed her quickly.

"You know that you, out of everyone, could probably fly the fastest and be the most deadly in the air? You can absorb metal and then shape your body with it! You could change into an Apache Attack Helicopter and rain down metal projectiles! Or! You could become a jet that flies super fast by directing your heat output into turbines!" I exclaimed with roots growing out of me to make a helicopter and jet fly around us.

This was the thing that finally did it.

Firaga's face broke into a full smile as she reached up, and I made the helicopter land on her hand.

"This thing… Do you really think I could fly if I become something like this?!" Firaga asked with excitement, and I nodded.

"Without a doubt. The things are made out of metal, and you are also much lighter than you were before, even if you are still heavy. This will spread the weight out, and the rotors will lift us off the ground. After we are done here, Sofia and give you a better explanation than I can of how everything works," I explained, pushing some of her silver hair back from Firaga's face, and she nodded, still smiling.

"Yes, I think I am ready to give my body over to you. You know more about me and my body than I know about myself, but more importantly. This feeling and the way my face almost hurts from this strange position it's in. The smile you speak of contorts my face, yet, I like it like I like you now," Firaga explained.

"I am thrilled to hear that. Now let me show you another type of emotion you probably have never experienced before, or at least understood properly," I said with a smile.

"What emotion is that?" Firaga asked as I slowly slid my hand down between her legs, separating them.

"Pleasure," I said, and her eyes opened slightly as I slowly pressed two fingers inside of her.
