[Velvet POV]

After we saw the others off, I started to bring Soleil to that place we went with the lunar sakura tree.

“Velvet, why didn’t we go with them?” (Soleil)

“Because there is something else I want to do with you today.  When we get to where we’re going, I’ll explain.” (Velvet)

I could feel my face het up a little when I thought about what I was going to do.  Soleil clearly saw my face and I could see her smile a little.  She let go of my hand and then started hugging my arm.

“Lead away then.” (Soleil)

It took us a bit to get there since the streets were starting to get crowded with morning traffic.  When we did arrive, I was relieved that no one else was there.

“I’m glad no people are here.” (Velvet)

“Yeah.” (Soleil)

We went over and sat under the lunar sakura.  A gentle breeze blew through the area and made Soleil’s hair flutter, making her look stunning and my heart to skip a beat.

“So, we’re here.” (Soleil)

“Yes.” (Velvet)

We sat in silence for a few minutes while I found the courage to say what I wanted to say.

“Soleil, I think it’s time to progress our relationship.  I don’t mean as far as Luna or Ophidia, but still some progress.” (Velvet)

“Alright.  How far do you want to go?” (Soleil)

“I don’t know.  All I know is that I want to do something more than just drink your blood or give you quick pecks on the lips or cheek.” (Velvet)

“Hehe.  You’re so cute, Velvet.” (Soleil)

Soleil moved and started to hug me.  I hugged her back and we stayed like that for a few minutes before separating.  Before Soleil did anything else, I moved over and patted my thighs.  Seeing this, she smiled and laid down.

“This is nice.” (Soleil)

“It really is.” (Velvet)

I then closed my eyes and gathered my resolve again, then I moved my hands to Soleil’s ears.  When I felt the heavenly softness that is different from her tail, my eyes went wide.  It wasn’t anywhere near Luna’s level, but it was amazing nonetheless.  When I looked at Soleil’s face, her eyes were wide and she was looking at me with a heated look.  I then started to massage her ear the way Luna taught me to.

“V-Velvet, you-” (Soleil)

“Shhh.  I know what doing this means.  Just let me do it.” (Velvet)

Soleil nodded a little and closed her eyes.  As I massaged her ears, I started to hear a purring noise coming from Soleil.  It got louder every time I put pressure on certain parts of her ears.  I massaged her ears for close to an hour before she opened her eyes and asked me to stop.  When I did, she sat up slowly and faced me.  The look in her eyes was hot enough it could burn.

“Velvet, I can never let you go now.  I know we’re already engaged, but with this, we can never be separated.” (Soleil)

She wrapped her arms around my neck and pulled me close.  Her lips connected with mine and I felt her tongue invade my mouth.  We fell backwards and now Soleil was on top of me.  I was in a daze since all of this was happening so fast, but when I realized what was going on, I made a move.  I flipped over and our positions switched and I started to fight back.  We stayed like that for several minutes before we backed off to breath.

Soleil still had that look in her eyes while she was breathing heavily and I felt like I had a similar look.  When we had caught our breath, we got closer to each other once again.  This time however, we started slowly.  Soleil pecked at my cheeks and mouth while I did the same in turn before we went back to a passionate kiss.  When we broke away to catch our breath again, Soleil finally spoke.

“Velvet, is this what you wanted?” (Soleil)

“It is.  It so very much is.” (Velvet)

I caught my breath first and pulled Soleil close while I moved my mouth to her neck.  I licked it a bit before biting into it.

“Aaaah.” (Soleil)

As Soleil’s blood filled my mouth, I though it tasted even better than it usually did.  Soleil was hugging me very tightly and I could feel her heavy breathing on my neck and back.  Once I got my fill, I stopped biting Soleil and the wound healed quickly.

“Velvet.” (Soleil)

Soleil tightened her hug even more and I felt her tail wrap around me.

“Heh.  Heheh.  Heheheheheheheheheh.” (Soleil)

She moved a little and started looking directly into my eyes.  She then locked her lips with mine once again.  Every so often she nipped my bottom lip before going back to the passionate kiss from earlier.  She then moved and pinned me beneath her.  Once she stopped kissing me, she moved before falling onto my chest, asleep.  I smiled and started patting her head and running my fingers through her hair.

“My Soleil, don’t worry, I was never going to let you go.  Though I am happy that you will become Luna’s Apostle.  I didn’t want to have to make you a vampire.” (Velvet)

I kissed Soleil’s forehead before falling asleep myself.  I didn’t know how much time had passed when I woke up, but it must have been a lot since the sun was setting.  I looked at Soleil who was awake and staring at me.

“Evening, Velvet.” (Soleil)

“Hehe.” (Velvet)

I started hugging Soleil.  She did the same and we sat like that for several minutes.

“Hey Velvet, I think we made a lot of progress today.” (Soleil)

“I agree.  Did you have a good time?” (Velvet)

“Of course.  So much so that I’m tempted to do it again.  However, I feel like if I do, things will get out of hand very quickly.” (Soleil)

“I agree.  Though I’m starting to think that it would be fine.” (Velvet)

“True.  Maybe after this festival, we’ll take big sis up on her offer to send us to the island alone.” (Soleil)

“Yes.  But that means I need to learn how to massage your ears in that way as well.” (Velvet)

“Hheheheh.  I’ll teach you later, but I’ll have to ask that you practice on something other than me or I won’t be able to hold back.” (Soleil)

I smirked at her words.

“Then you’ll just have to teach me when we’re alone on the island because I don’t want you to hold back.” (Velvet)

She smiled a heated smile at me.

“Understood.  Next time we go all the way.  Now, let’s go back.  Maybe if we get back early, big sis won’t tease us as much.” (Soleil)

“Yeah, that sounds like a good idea.” (Velvet)

We stood up and made our way back to Lia’s home.  When we got back, the others weren’t there.

“Guess we got back first.” (Velvet)

“Seems so.” (Soleil)

“Indeed.  You two lovebirds got back just before we did.” (Luna)

We both turned around to see Luna smirking at us in the way that meant she was going to tease us to no end.  She walked up closer to us and stared.  After a few seconds, her smirk grew wider.

“Velvet.” (Luna)

“Yes?” (Velvet)

“Don’t you ever make Soleil sad.  Same goes for you, Soleil.  I expect the two of you to be one of the best couples to exist, just behind me and Tamamo.” (Luna)

She then walked past us in the direction of her room.  We started at each other for a second in bewilderment.

“She didn’t tease us.” (Soleil)

“Indeed.” (Velvet)

“It’s simple nya.  She’s in a really good mood nya.” (Mio)

“Yep, master is happy that the two of you are getting along so well.” (Ophidia)

“Yeah, she was saying how happy she was that the two of you were getting along so well all day.” (Skadi)

“You know, I forgot that big sis gets like that sometimes.  I mean, it’s been a long time since she last was like that.” (Soleil)

“Huh.  Never would have thought Luna had a side like that.” (Velvet)

Everyone then went to their rooms for the night, leaving me and Soleil alone again.  We looked into each other’s eyes for a few seconds before nodding and heading to my room to get some sleep.

Chaos Realm:

We leave for a little while and come back to this.

Order: Indeed.

Atmos: A little while, you two were gone for like, two weeks.

And?  That's nothing to us and you know it.

Atmos: True.  Also Fenrir, again with the notes?

Fenrir: Every little bit helps.  I will pay attention to all of this so that I know exactly what to do with Mio.  I don't want to mess it up after all.

Tamamo: I hope you realize that the second you get into a situation like that, you'll forget all of that and just start running on instinct.

Fenrir: Really?

Yep.

Order: In something like this, it's about practical experience.

Fenrir: But-

Atmos: Don't worry Fenrir, I won't say much, but you'll do just fine.  You just need to be your usual confident self, and everything else will go perfectly.

Fenrir: Alright.  Tamamo, can I ask you to ask Luna to make a domain for me and Mio sometime soon, or will you call Mio up to the divine domain?

Tamamo: I'll bring her to the divine domain.  That way the two of you will have more freedom than in one of Luna's domains.  All I ask is that you return her in after an appropriate amount of time.

Fenrir: Of course.  I won't keep her long, just a mortal world day will be enough for now.

Tamamo: Then I'll let Luna know that Mio will be with you in a few days.

Fenrir: Thanks.
