“Ah, the kiddies are finally down.” Lutecia stretched lazily as she entered the living room. “Oh hi Erio.”
“Hey Lu.” He smiled as she joined him on the couch. “How are the others doing?”
“So sore they could barely move.” She giggled. “But somehow they still managed to get worked up about the upcoming tournament. Looks like Einhart is interested in participating too.”
“That’s great,” Erio said. “Too bad I won’t be able to make it.”
“I know, it sucks big time.” Lutecia sighed. “I just don’t know how I’ll manage without you there cheering me on.”
“Well, I’ll be with you in spirit!”
“That line’s so corny.” Lutecia smirked.
“Best I got.” He rolled his eyes.
“I’m happy to hear it anyways.” She lightly poked him with her elbow. “So how was your family time?”
“Good.” Erio replied. “Caro just chatted away while I gave Fate-san a massage.”
“A massage eh…” Lutecia hummed. “That doesn’t sound like a bad idea. Do me too, would you?”
“Eh?” He blinked. “Why?”
“Because my shoulders are stiff.” Lutecia rolled them. “I may watch my pace and stamina distribution properly, but I still get sore shoulders.”
“I don’t know, it’s pretty late already….”
“Oh come on.” Lutecia turned away from him and glanced over her shoulder. Hooking her fingers under the straps of her top, she slowly slid them down her arms before gathering her hair and bringing it over one shoulder so it draped down her chest. “Pleeease?”
Erio gave a little groan, but the sight of her exposed, delicate looking skin drew him in completely. “Okay, okay.”
Lutecia shivered briefly at the different in temperature of their flesh when Erio placed his hands on her shoulders. He began to knead them slowly and gently, gradually increasing his speed and grip strength as time passed.
“Mmmm… So good… Yes, right there… harder!”
“Stop that.” Erio frowned, eyes darting around to make sure no one would pop in. Even so, he still savoured the sensation of Lutecia’s soft, creamy, flawless skin.
“I can’t help it.” Lutecia stuck out her tongue. “Your technique is amazing.”
“Speaking of,” Erio decided to switch topics. “You were pretty amazing during those mock battles today.”
“Fufufu, of course. Did you expect anything less?”
“… Even if we all did get taken out in the end…” Erio added with a chuckle.
“Oh you just had to spoil it.” Lutecia faked a sigh. “You have no idea what it’s like to get hit by a flying fist of rock… Though I’m not sure how to feel about it… Should I whine that I lost, or should I gloat that the device I made Corona was perfect?”
“I’d go with the latter.” Erio offered.
“Gloat it is then! You certainly have gloating rights too, Erio.”
“How so?”
“You went toe to toe with Fate-san and you came out on top! Well… sorta… for a little bit… Still, you did great against her.”
“I just got lucky.” Erio chuckled sheepishly. “Besides, Nanoha-san helped me out too.”
“She only helped you for a little bit before going off to nuke the field.” Lutecia snickered. “That sure turned out well.”
“We probably should have expected that.” Erio laughed.
“Back on topic! I bet Fate-san was really proud of you for how well you handled yourself.”
“Yeah…” Erio flushed. “That’s what she said.”
“Although…” Lutecia frowned. “Did you really need to slice her clothes off?”
“It’s not like I did that on purpose!” Erio sputtered.
“Sure you didn’t, Erio.” Lutecia grinned back at him. “You had absolutely no desire to see Fate-san’s glorious body. I know full well what a huge crush you have on her.”
“I used to…” He muttered. Plus, it’s not like he hadn’t seen Fate completely naked before.
“Can’t say I blame you, though.” Lutecia went on. “Such a dynamite figure, huge breasts, great hair… If you want to ogle her I understand, but I wish you’d recognise my charm once in awhile.”
“I do recognise it.” He said, gathering himself together and lowering his voice. “After all, it was that charm that made me fall for you in the first place.” He leaned in and pressed his lips against the bare side of her neck.
“… So, you do know how to put the moves on me…” She whispered.
“I’d do it more often if you weren’t always taking the lead before I can…”
“Me? Take the lead? You mean like this?” Lutecia leaned back forcibly, pinning the boy between herself and the couch.
“Lu…!?” Erio’s yelp was cut off as Lutecia spun herself around and pressed her lips to his.
“Sorry, I’m just the kind of girl who takes what she wants.” When she stuck out her tongue again, this time Erio shot up and brought his to meet it.
‘I can be that kind of guy too, you know.’ Erio told her telepathically.
‘Oh? I like a good challenge.’
Their tongues entered a heated battle as they fought for dominance, only ceasing when they had to break for air.
“Okay, how about we call it a draw?” Lutecia huffed contently.
“No rematch?” Erio grinned.
“Not tonight.” Lutecia softly brushed her nose over his before sitting up. “We should go before…”
“Erio, where are…?” Fate entered the room to be greeted by the sight of Lutecia straddling Erio, both wearing ruffled clothes.
“Uh, Fate-san, this…”
“Wha… What are you two doing?!” Fate’s face exploded in red and her arms began flailing in the air. “I-It’s too early for you to do such things! And to do it here when anyone could walk in, what were you thinking! Do it in private and make sure you have protection! I mean, don’t do it at all! Save it for when you’re older! I mean I haven’t even… No, wait, that doesn’t matter, just… You can’t okay?!”
Lutecia stared at the hysteric woman before looking down at Erio and sighing dramatically.
“Damn it, she’s adorable! How am I supposed to beat that?!”
