Overdue Reunion (A CaeMarch fanfic)
Summary:
Time made the heart grow fonder, or so they said. With their adventure in Amphoreus now concluded Caelus and March have the time to address their feelings, to talk it out - and of course, enjoy their newfound romance behind closed doors.
Even if they weren't very subtle about it.
_______________________________________________________________________
For once, the Astral Express was relatively quiet.
Not to say it was usually noisy, but often it had many of its members walking about, chatting and laughing, alongside at least one broadcast reciting all the latest news across the universe.
Today though it was distinctly quiet. Welt had gone to Belobog on Bronya's request to assist with some negotiations with the IPC, whilst Dan Heng was there to aid Serval in some of her machines. Black Swan had left to go somewhere ambiguous and Sunday went with her, presumably to either Penacony or some nebulous space that only his skills could access. Either way, it left the space train rather quiet.
Himeko enjoyed it. Truly. Though she lived for the chaos her 'family' could get into, she equally valued these moments of quiet – of sipping on her coffee and reading a book without a care in the world, time as if frozen whilst she languidly ran her gaze along the words and soaked in paragraph after paragraph, the storytelling weaving her under a spell she gladly fell further into. Only occasionally would the spell be broken by a passing Pom Pom or distant clunk of machinery, but otherwise she was at peace.
The hiss of one of the doors though made her pause, then look up from her book – and a slight smile lit her features as she laid eyes on a particular duo fast-walking into the party car.
''March, Caelus – I've not seen you all day. Where have you been?''
''Xianzhou Luofu.'' ''Belobog.''
Both of them stared at each other, bewildered and flustered in equal measure.
Himeko giggled, bringing her coffee to her lips. ''I see. Well I hope your world-hopping isn't causing any trouble, hm?''
''W-We would never cause any trouble Miss Himeko!''
''Mm... didn't you nearly get us arrested in Belobog though, back when we first arrived?''
''Huh?! Since when was that my fault – and you were there too, remember, so it's partly your fault too!''
''I didn't do anything though?''
As March sputtered, trying to overcome her bafflement at Caelus's impenetrable lack of logic, Himeko only smiled wryly. ''Regardless of who is to blame for that little incident, do you want to join me for some lunch? I bought some lovely cakes from the Luofu last time I was there.''
Caelus looked ready to agree, perking up – but then March pinched him by the ear and gave him a look. Understanding dawned on Caelus's face and he coughed into his fist, offering a polite refusal that Himeko accepted without much fanfare, her smile lingering even as the duo hurriedly – but politely – excused themselves... and rushed up the stairs to Caelus's room.
Himeko sighed fondly, turning the page of her book. ''Oh to be young...''
From behind the bar Shush made a metallic hum of curiosity. ''Miss Himeko, are you also not 'young'?''
In response Himeko flashed the robot a 'pleasant', unflinching smile.
''Haha, that was just one of my jokes. Please forget I exist now.''
''Gladly, Shush.''
X-x-X
They say distance makes the heart grow fonder.
Caelus wasn't sure how true that was objectively, but after the whole deal with Amphoreus was settled he could personally attest to it at least. Friends he had thought he lost had lived entire lifetimes without him, and just meeting him again was something to be celebrated. Dan Heng spoke to him like someone reuniting with a long-lost brother, with the type of bone-crushing hug deserving of such a reunion.
March wasn't any different, though perhaps in her case the fondness only grew. Fleeting feelings from before Amphoreus had time to grow and grow, and by the time of their reunion it was only the situation that prevented them from making things indecent. With said situation calmed down now, however, and several days of rest allowing them to regain their strength, they had the time to talk. Talk, feel, confess – he wasn't sure if they were doing this whole 'romance' thing correctly, but whether they were or not... he couldn't complain about where they took them.
''Mmph~''
March moaned as submissively as ever, her lips soft and pliable as his own meshed against them. Her hands raised in half-hearted defiance but he caught them by the wrist and pinned them to the wall, pushing his companion against the wall of his bedroom and devouring her shy voice gladly. March though wasn't entirely passive and wriggled her hands down in his grip, enough to slip her palms up against his and enticing him to lock his fingers between hers; holding her hands as they made out.
The music playing over his speaks – rock but turned down low – only added to the moment, serving as a background track to their intimate kisses. He broke away first for air but reconnected their lips before March could speak, her moan muffled partly by their meshing lips and her little wriggle endearing, enticing him to prod her teeth with his tongue. Though she squeaked it took her only a moment to part them, shy as her tongue ventured forth to meet his and mewling as they wrestled their tongues together; tangling them in a slow, intimate dance between their mouths, the taste of each other shared as they drew the moment out.
Until eventually Caelus pulled back properly, panting. March mewled and gazed at him through half-lidded eyes, her red irises so ruby-like he could easily lose himself in them. Something she seemed cognizant of, her cheeks turning the same shade as she looked aside, her expression somewhere between pleased and embarrassed.
''Don't stare...'' She mumbled.
''Can't help it.'' He smiled lightly, running his eyes over her. ''You look really good in Evernight's outfit, y'know.''
''Technically it's my outfit too, dummy... but yeah, she's got good taste I suppose.''
Caelus hummed his agreement, releasing her hands – only to grab her butt, earning him an affronted 'hey!' from March. One quenched by another kiss that instantly melted her fledgling resistance, her moan filling his mouth as he orally dominated her and got a palmful of her ass; kneading her soft cheeks and pulling her lower half against his. March didn't resist, merely mewling into the kiss and running her fingers up through his hair, her shyness matched by her own excitement.
He wasn't lying, either. Though it was still kinda strange to see March with crimson eyes and dark gothic clothes she looked gorgeous in it, and her personality alone was enough to differentiate her from Evernight. It also didn't hurt that while her attire had changed her body hadn't, and his hands were all too familiar with all her curves by this point. Enough that he instinctively cupped her rear and traced the line of her underwear up to her hips, earning a muffled mewl from March herself.
March was the first to break off the kiss, panting against his chin and frowning cutely at him. ''Hrm... I can feel your thingy down there, y'know.''
''You don't know that, it could be a surprise Sparkle fumo.''
''Why would you have one of those in your pants?''
''The element of surprise, obviously.''
''Ugh, you...'' Despite her words a smile twitched at her lips, as fond as it was exasperated.
Her hand came down to his chest and gave him a gentle nudge, enough to make him stumble back a step or two. A glance over his shoulder revealed his bed and without thinking he sat back on the edge of it – and no sooner had he done so did March sit before him, her hands on his shoulders for only a brief second before sliding down to his thighs. She lowered herself with the motion, her fingers catching his zipper and tugging it down, allowing her dainty digits to venture inside.
He shivered as they ran over his clothed cock, his erection pressing against the fabric of his underwear. Though she said nothing March's cheeks darkened to a rosy hue and she dipped her fingers inside, fumbling for only a moment or two before tugging his cock out into the open, her touch so slow and gentle even now as she stroked his length. The gentle stimulation robbed him of any witty remarks he had prepared, his lips pursing and eyes fluttering shut as she stroked his erect shaft and brought her lips to the tip.
Preluding the shy kiss she planted upon it. Her blush darkened at his groan but without relent March planted another kiss, then another; leaning down slightly to kiss under the head even as she continued to earnestly stroke his length. The black glove she wore made it feel slightly rough but as if reading his thoughts March released his cock and removed it, spending only a second to flex her fingers before curling them around the base of his shaft, squeezing it and stroking him in short, quick bursts.
Leaving his tip free for her to kiss once, twice – and then those pink lips parted around his tip.
''Mar- mmn...!'' Caelus gripped the quilt.
A spark of pride flickered in March's deep red eyes and with naught but a smug hum she took him in deeper, her lips grazing halfway down his member before she sucked back up to the tip – only to sink right back down. It wasn't the first time she'd given him head, either; her skill shining through in how her lips slid along his shaft, the quiet, stuttering slurps sounding wetter with each bob of her head as she smeared her saliva into his shaft, her eyes locked with his even as she took him in deeper, his tip grazing the back of her throat.
March reflexively slowed slightly, but no sooner had she done so did she speed right back up – those enchanting eyes shutting as she hummed and took him a little deeper. Caelus tried in vain to quench his moan but it slipped out of his throat all the same; the wet heat of her throat tempting his tip each time he nearly probed it, her lips glazing down his member and bringing him temptuously close over and over again.
''Ah... March...'' Caelus breathed out and settled his hand on her head, brushing some hair from her face.
March opened her eyes, slowing near the base and drawing back in a long, drawn-out slurp, her lips electrifying his nerves as they pressed against his member all the way to the tip – until she popped her lips off. The red-eyed beauty panted against his shaft and tipped her chin back, kissing just beneath the tip once, twice, thrice, and only then sandwiched his tip between her lips. With a muffled hum she took him in deeper, her lidded gaze locked onto him as she accepted two-thirds of him into her mouth all at once.
And then she deep-throated him. The sudden tight heat that clasped around his tip made him gasp and when March pulled back it made him moan, mourning the sudden loss – and just as quickly as it left it returned as she delved down his dick. Her hands caught his knees and with a warbled grunt March bobbed her head earnestly, taking him down her throat each time and teasing his tip with the wet, clenching embrace of her throat, the angle just right to make sparks fly along his nerves.
March could tell, too. With nothing but a far-too-devious hum she kept at it, eyes fluttering shut as she willingly throated his cock – a string of gurbled grunts escaping her as she shoved herself down his cock with more and more vigour, losing herself in the motions even as his own orgasm drew closer, her tongue pressing up against the underside of his shaft and tonguing him towards his limit-!
''M-March-!''
He peaked, gasped – and with an explosive moan Caelus erupted down her throat, pushing her down on instinct. March dug her nails into his knees but didn't protest, only a muffled whine escaping her as he hilted himself down her throat and shot rope after rope of semen down her gullet; his load swallowed with every gulp intimately audible, the sounds of her swallows heard even over the quiet musical notes playing in the background.
And then with a wet gasp she popped her lips off of his cock – quickly breaking out into a string of coughs and half-covering her mouth to stifle them, though Caelus could only sit there and pant as he came down from his orgasmic high. Gradually though her coughs slowed and the only noise other than the music was their heavy breathing, both trading glances and averting their eyes just as quick, embarrassed.
''...you're still hard.'' March noted idly.
''...yeah.'' Caelus hummed, glancing back at her. ''Wanna do it?''
''Hmph. Duh...''
She rose to a crouch and climbed onto the bed, prompting Caelus to shuffle back to give her room. Even though neither said a word both knew what position they had in mind, the sound of shifting cloth and flesh gliding across fabric audible as March laid down on her left hip, chin dipping shyly as Caelus laid down behind her and shuffled in close, their bodies nearly touching. Without needing to be asked March raised her right leg and Caelus caught her thigh, his fingers sinking into her soft skin whilst March herself tucked her panties to one side, exposing her smooth nether lips to him.
''Put it in...'' Quietly March whispered, lest they be overheard.
Caelus smiled wryly at that and shuffled up against her, a little roll of his hips bringing his dick up against her pussy. March wriggled with nervous anticipation, her breathing alone giving away how excited she was to finally bang after waiting all day. Perhaps because of that he deigned to tease her a little, his hand leaving her thigh to grasp his shaft and slap his cock up against her loins, jolting a tight whimper out of his lover.
Slowly he dragged his tip along her lips, smearing pre-cum across her folds as he neared her entrance – yet before he could slip it he 'missed'. March whined and he did it again, feigning penetration only to miss again, his tip twitching against her smooth nether lips as he practically got off on the miniscule friction, his own breathing growing heavier.
''Caelus~'' March whined, impatient.
Enticing Caelus to line himself up, prodding her entrance – and before March could whine some more, he pushed in. Whatever the pink-haired archer meant to say instantly melted into a pitched moan, one that deepened into a needier sound as his tip pushed into her hot, slippery depths; inch after inch of him easily fitting inside of her before he thought to pull back, only to gladly pump right back into her.
His hand returned to her thigh and he hoisted it back up high, squeezing it as he did so – appreciating her nice legs even as he thrust into her. Just as much as he appreciated her soft moans, her voice jumping slightly with every earnest thrust and enticing him to kiss the back of her head, his left arm slipping under her torso to grab at her breast; squeezing it through her clothes and earning a whimpering mewl from his lover.
''Mmh, doing it in this position feels really- ah... m-myn~''
Though she trailed off he understood what she meant to say, a faint smile twitching at his lips before a groan passed them – his fingers digging into her supple thigh as he dared to buck his hips a little rougher, driving his dick deep into March's welcoming depths. She felt tight around his shaft and from so close he could smell her berry-esque perfume, the heady scent enticing him to press himself as close as the position would allow just to bask in her presence that little bit more.
With a mewl March tipped her head back to look at him, her cheeks flushed and ruby eyes half-lidded, the sight enticing him to dart in and steal an over-the-shoulder kiss. She mewled into it and when he broke it off she leaned forwards as if to continue it; pouting up at him until he leaned back down and let their lips brush together in a light, chaste kiss. One that did little to stop him from thrusting up into her, his tempo only growing when they drew apart.
''Ahh, i-it's okay to move faster, I...'' March bit her lip, her ruby eyes shining with such endearing shyness. ''I really want it...''
That was all the permission Caelus needed, and without missing a beat he rammed himself into her – fucking a squeak of surprise out of March that melted into a sharp moan on the next thrust. Her raised leg twitched, resting against his palm but remaining aloft as he eagerly slammed himself up into her drooling cunt, her juices and saliva gleaming across his length as he pistoned himself between her smooth lips, reaching deep inside of her with every thrust and hitting spots that made her tense up.
And tighten around him. The slightest brush against her sweet spots made March clamp around him, her pussy moulding itself to his member in an unyielding, loving embrace that he was reluctant to pull out of. Pull out of it though he did, groaning as he left her cloying warmth and grunting as he rammed back in; the position not allowing him to hilt inside of her but certainly letting him in deep, his body bumping against hers with growing desperation as he felt a fiery need swell within him.
''Mm~! Cae, it f-feels way too good...!''
''Hff, I'm almost... there...'' He groaned out, his breathing tight.
March clamped down on him even as she shook her head. ''Y-You can't cum in me today, so – mm! – you better pull out!''
Caelus made a noise of understanding even as he desperately kept up the tempo, holding back the urge to cum even as he crammed his cock into March's wet, slippery pussy, the friction sending miniscule shocks down his aching member. The thought of busting inside of her was so hot he had to fight the instinct to do so, his mind split between her loins and her sweet, gasping moans, her own orgasm clearly so very close.
Enticing him to let go of her thigh and furiously rub her clit. Instantly March spasmed, a choked, desperate cry on her tongue – and one that broke free of her throat and filled his room as he pushed her to orgasm, making her squirt from the sudden force of her orgasm. Her insides seized around his member, an unyielding, clenching tunnel that strangled his cock in silent askance for his seed-!
When he pulled out. Not a second later he shot a rope of cum right onto her lips; a moan fleeing his lips as he grabbed his dick and jerked himself to completion, shooting his semen against her pussy lips and onto her groin as wave after wave of pleasure roiled through his whole body. He thrust his hips on instinct, fucking his own hand and ejaculating onto his lover's loins, his tip brushing along her lips as he shot another rope against her sticky skin.
Only when it felt like his orgasm was done, when he could nut no more, did he prod her lips – and slip right back in.
''A-Ah, hey!'' March moaned, her embarrassed pleasure clear.
Doubly so as Caelus rocked his hips and groaned with her, lightly pumping into her – his hypersensitivity making even such mild thrusts feel intense and breathtaking. The way her cloying, syrupy walls squeezed his tender member felt like heaven and he lost himself in the motion, enjoying it for another few moments until March elbowed him. Only then did he pull out properly, breathing a moan of discontent as he shuffled back a little, enough for her to sit upright.
March took full advantage of that to turn around and push him flat on his back. Caelus grunted in surprise, sitting up on his elbows – and no sooner had he done so did March climb onto his lap. She spent only a second to undo his belt and yank them down his thighs before straddling him, allowing their bare thighs to brush together and send little shocks across his skin, the contact meagre yet still intoxicating after being apart for so long.
She grasped his length then, her grip delicate and guiding his tip to her entrance, her hips rolling her against it once, twice, thrice – and without fanfare March impaled herself on his manhood, mewling as she took him back inside. Her other hand caught her dress and hoisted it up, allowing him to lay eyes on her gleaming pussy lips as he sunk into her quivering depths, their mixed fluids rendering the act even more erotic and coaxing his hands onto her hips.
''Mm... I'm still so sensitive...'' March commented, a slight pout to her lips even as she started moving – rising up and easing down at a slow, tepid pace.
Not that he minded. Just being inside of March felt like heaven and being able to watch his cock sink between her gleaming pussy lips was arousing in its own right, his cock twitching against her insides as she impaled herself deeper down his shaft – her thighs trembling and her lips parting to let out a whine but still pushing her onto his cock, her syrupy insides coiling tightly around his member and squeezing him desperately.
Enticing him to buck his hips, thrusting up into her quivering pussy. March squeaked and slapped a hand over her mouth, her eyes screwing shut in thinly-disguised pleasure, and when he thrust a second time she moaned sweetly. Before he could buck a third time March impaled herself down fully, whimpering as she ground herself down as deep as the position would allow and stirring him around her depths, her sopping insides squelching quietly for her effort.
''March...'' Caelus groaned out, running his hands up to her chest.
March mewled in response, her hands quick to rip her black jacket open and then her top too – popping the buttons loose and exposing the luxurious pink-red bra she wore beneath, pushing up her perfectly-shaped tits. Her blouse rode down her shoulders and hurriedly she reached behind her back, multitasking as she kept grinding herself down on his dick – before with a sigh of relief she unclipped her bra, sending the cups sagging down slightly.
Caelus didn't hesitate to push them up and out of the way, her plump breasts easing into his waiting palms and enticing him to knead them – revelling in the simple pleasure of groping March. Said girl bit her lip and mewled in response, her eyes screwing shut as she leaned forwards and steadily resumed her bouncing, the heady smack of her thighs against his joined by the faint creak of the bed.
''Mmn! Caelus, you're twitching already, are... are you gonna cum, huh?'' March puffed out. ''You totally are!''
''Says you.'' He countered, squeezing her tits more roughly.
March mewled, shivering as he ran his thumbs over her nipples repeatedly – flicking the hardened buds even as she dropped herself down with growing desperation. The way she slid right down onto him, her slick insides clenching around him, sent a shudder of pure need straight to his tip and it was a struggle to resist the need roiling up inside of him. The sticky heat of their loins, the tightening grip on his member, the gasping moans she let out; all of it was too hot, too intoxicating.
His hands left her breasts then and returned to her hips, only to then grab at her ass; helping pull her down and moaning as he hilted inside of her. March planted her hands on his chest in response, moaning between gasps as she jammed herself down onto him and brought them both to the edge, her insides quivering around his pulsating member, the riskiness of doing it without a condom only making it more exciting.
''March, I'm-!''
Caelus didn't get to finish as March impaled herself down, and came. Choking on her own breath she silently grinded herself down onto him, a wheezing gasp fleeing her throat as she squirted – and he busted inside of her. Euphoria shot up his cock and he gladly released himself inside of her, any guilt overshadowed by sheer, muscle-spasming pleasure as he shot rope after rope of semen up into his lover; her walls milking spurt after spurt of it from his length and her grinding only further wringing him dry, her quaking moan teasing his ears as her orgasm tapered.
And inevitably drew to a slow, shuddering close. He gripped her ass cheeks one final time before settling his hands on her thighs, panting – and a moan lifted itself off of his tongue as March slumped down against him, his dick springing from her sex as she laid atop him.
''Ahh... that felt really, really good...'' March mewled in content, wriggling until she could tuck her head into his shoulder. ''My body feels so weak now...''
''Same.'' He murmured, wrapping an arm around her.
Seconds ticked by as they basked in the afterglow.
Until a realisation, simultaneously, occurred to them both.
''Ah, you came inside!''
''Y-You didn't get off in time!''
Himeko would later lecture them on the necessity of protection.
...not that it would stop them from doing it raw less than a week later, of course.
