Side Chapter 20- Mio and Fenrir

[Fenrir POV]

The day has finally come for Mio to come and visit me.  Since our first meeting, we have been talking to each other all the time, so we’ve gotten close, or at least I think we have.  Since I’m nervous about this, I have been pacing around my place for what feels like hours when I felt the arrival of two people.  Shortly after that, I saw Tamamo and Mio approaching me.

{Morning Fenrir.  I brough Mio over, so have fun, just remember to get her back in a mortal world day.}

Tamamo said this then immediately disappeared.  Mio and I stood there staring at where Tamamo was for a second before we both looked at each other.  We stared into each other’s eyes for a few seconds before Mio made the first move.  She leapt from her position and tackled me.  We fell backwards and I landed on my back with Mio on top of me.  She was rubbing her head on me and she used her twin tails to grab either one of my arms or legs.

“Nyaaaaaaaa.” (Mio)

I smiled at her and started patting her head which elicited purring from her.

“It’s good to see you in person again, Mio.” (Fenrir)

“Fen nya.” (Mio)

I then wrapped my arms around her in a hug.  We sat there for several minutes before I let her go and we stood up.  She then started looking around at the place we were.

“Snowy yet not very cold nya.” (Mio)

“Well, I didn’t want you to be too uncomfortable, so I made it as warm as I could.” (Fenrir)

“It’s nice nya.” (Mio)

As she said that, she started to hug my arm and she laid her head on my shoulder.

“Perrfect temperature to do this nya.” (Mio)

My heart skipped a beat.

‘Why is she so cute?  Like, seriously, she isn’t actually the Goddess of Cuteness in disguise, right?’ (Fenrir)

“Nya?” (Mio)

She tilted her head in a questioning way as I didn’t say anything.  This almost killed me due to how cute it was, but I endured.  I then coughed to clear my throat as I tried to move on to what I planned for the day.

“A-anyway, come with me.  I’ll show you my home and we can decide on what to do from there.” (Fenrir)

“Ok, lead the way, Fen nya.” (Mio)

While I was busy trying not to die from cuteness and probably failing, I led Mio to my home.  As we approached Mio was amazed.

“Looks cozy nya.  Large log cabin in the snowy woods nya.  If you have a nice fluffy carpet and a large fireplace, I will marry you right here and now nya.” (Mio)

“…” (Fenrir)

When we got to the door, Mio let go of me and I let her inside.  A wave of warmth hit the both of us as the door opened.  Once I closed the door behind us, Mio was once again in awe.

“Fen, are you sure I’m not your fated one nya?  This is the kind of place I absolutely love nya.” (Mio)

“Well, I actually had some help in order to make you like me more.  Through Tamamo, I asked Luna what you liked and changed the place to suit you.  Though over time, I have also come to enjoy the comfort of this place.” (Fenrir)

“I see nya.  What was it like before nya?” (Mio)

“A lot colder and icier.  More large trees.  At one point I tried living in a castle made of ice, but it got annoying slipping around everywhere, so I changed it.” (Fenrir)

“Huh nya.  Well, it makes sense nya.  I mean, no ice can stay cold when you’re such a warm person nya.” (Mio)

My heart fluttered at her words.

“Mio, it’s no fair if you’re on the offensive all the time.” (Fenrir)

“I can’t help it Fen, your reactions are just too cute for me to stop nya.” (Mio)

“Hehe.  I’ll get you before the day is over.” (Fenrir)

“I look forward to it nya.” (Mio)

We moved over to sit on the large couch in front of the fireplace.  A fire was roaring inside and Mio curled up and placed her head in my lap.  She started rubbing her head on me again and I could only smile at that.

“Mio, you realize that you don’t need to mark me, right?” (Fenrir)

“Don’t care nya.  My mom always told me to mark what is mine nya, so I’m doing that nya.  I would have done the same to Lunya’s tails nya, but they are Goddess Tamamo’s nya.” (Mio)

“Heheheh.  You really like Tamamo’s wife, don’t you.” (Fenrir)

“Yep nya.  She is my eternal friend and family nya.  Life would be soooooo boring if I hadn’t met her nya.  And, I probably wouldn’t have met you either nya.” (Mio)

“Then I should thank her at some point.  If you meeting her led to me meeting you, then I owe her big time.” (Fenrir)

I started patting Mio’s head again and she started to purr again.  We watched the fire like this for a while when Mio sat up.

“Alright nya.  Fen, it’s your turn nya.” (Mio)

“Eh?” (Fenrir)

“Did you think I’m a selfish cat that won’t give what back what I receive nya?  Nyope nya.  Now, your head, my lap nya.” (Mio)

Seeing no problem in her words, I listened to her and laid my head in her lap.  To say it was amazing would be an understatement.  To think the thighs of the person I love would feel so comfortable.  The second I got comfortable, Mio started running her hand through my hair and patting my head.  If I wasn’t laying on my back, my tail would probably be causing enough wind to create a blizzard.

“Nyehehehe.  Fen, it feels like we’ve known each other for forever, doesn’t it nya?” (Mio)

“It does.  Even if we met not to long ago, talking with you pretty much every day is really enjoyable.  Of course, this it infinitely better, but even then, I enjoy it.” (Fenrir)

“Same nya.  I mean, sometimes I find myself wanting to ask Lunya to put up a domain for us to meet nya, but I feel like if I asked, it would be too much nya.” (Mio)

“Well, I don’t really know her all too well, but I feel like if you asked her, she would do it immediately.” (Fenrir)

“That’s the thing nya, she probably would nya, but I still feel like it’s too much to ask nya.” (Mio)

We sat in silence as I tried to figure out what to say to that.  Mio then changed the subject.

“Anyway nya, do you want to try something nya?” (Mio)

“Depends on what that something is?” (Fenrir)

“At some point in the past, I bought some things off of Luna and the others before we started to travel together nya.  When we joined up, I gave them back and Luna cooked them for me nya.  I then put them in my storage bag for later nya, and I thought you might like to share some nya.” (Mio)

“I’m game.” (Fenrir)

I sat up from Mio’s lap and we moved over to the table.  Mio then pulled out two plates with some cooked birds on them.  The smell coming off of them was simply amazing and I couldn’t help but anticipate the taste.

“It may be Lunya’s cooking this time nya, but I plan on asking her to teach me soon nya.” (Mio)

“Maybe I should ask the Goddess of Culinary Arts myself.” (Fenrir)

“Nyahaha.  Well, let’s eat before it gets cold nya.” (Mio)

I nodded my head and we started to eat.  To say it was delicious would be an affront to the food, it was more than that.

“Maybe I should ask Luna instead.” (Fenrir)

“Lunya is beating a god of cooking nya?” (Mio)

“If not, then very close.  The Goddess of Culinary Arts has, no offense to her, stagnated in her field, so when Luna ascends, Tamamo should really get them to meet.” (Fenrir)

“Wow nya.  Nyever thought I’d hear something like that nya.” (Mio)

“Eh, just because we’re gods doesn’t mean we aren’t also people.  We get stuck too.  It just lasts longer than it does for mortals sometimes.” (Fenrir)

“Interesting nya.” (Mio)

We finished eating and moved back to the couch.  Mio was in my lap again and I was patting her head while staring at her ears.

“Feel free to touch and massage them nya.  I’ll just have to make sure we never break apart nya.” (Mio)

“So, it’s holds meaning like when the kitsune do it as well?” (Fenrir)

“Not to such an extreme as kitsune, but yes nya.  But still, I don’t mind nya.” (Mio)

Since she was saying this much, I decided to go for it.  I stopped patting Mio’s head and started to gently massage her ears.  Her purring intensified as I did this.  Her tails also made the shape of hearts.  After a while, I saw that she fell asleep.  I smiled at that and stopped massaging her ears.  I closed my eyes and started to hum as I enjoyed just being with Mio.  Hours passed like this when I noticed the time.

“Mio, wake up.” (Fenrir)

“Nyaaa?” (Mio)

She looked around until her gaze met mine.

“Nya!  I fell asleep nya.  Sorry nya.” (Mio)

“Hehe.  Don’t mind it, I enjoyed watching you sleep.” (Fenrir)

Mio blushed at my words.

“Anyway, as much as I am saddened by it, if I don’t bring you back now, you’ll end up here for longer than you need to be.” (Fenrir)

“Oh nya.  So, it’s time to go nya.  I think I understand what Lunya went through before she got the ability to make domains nya.” (Mio)

“Hehe.  We’ll see each other again sooner than you think, so it’s fine for now.” (Fenrir)

“What do you mean nya?” (Mio)

“Tamamo invited me and a few others to a new year get together in one of Luna’s domains.  I plan on attending and assumed you would be there as well.” (Fenrir)

“Definitely nya.” (Mio)

“Then I’ll see you then.” (Fenrir)

We both stood up and went over to the door.  I knocked on it a few times and then opened it.  On the other side was a scene of mountains with a large silver-leaved tree in the distance.

“Just go through here and you’ll be in Tamamo’s place.” (Fenrir)

Just before Mio went through the door, I stopped her, grabbed her arm, and pulled her close to me.  Our lips met for a few seconds before separating.

“Nyaaaaaaaaaaa!” (Mio)

“I said I would go on the offensive before you left, didn’t I?” I said as Mio stumbled through the door and it closed.  I then moved back over to the couch, picked up a pillow and started to hug it.  My heart was beating so fast and I could feel my face burning.

“That was nice.  I have to do it again the next time we see each other.”

Chaos Realm:

Atmos: I can't believe Fenrir is this cute.

Order: Indeed.  She is extremely adorable.

Atmos: Like, seriously, she's a completely different person when in front of Mio.  In the past, she was the serious, wild type.

Order: Maybe that was just what she wanted others to think of her as?

Atmos: Possibly, though that image is ruined now.
