Asfinald [Sommarsun Weeks Event | Vitria]

A lot of libido in the air today… but for a good reason- okay, for a good reason in his head.

He’d been spending a good amount of time building stuff – mostly just a bunch of failed spaceships the size of cars, very small projects in the long run. Space… was just so vast and so damn far away from the earth for him to be able to reach it right now, but he could at least take it a little easier… hence why he made use of the country-wide summer events to unwind a little.

The very idea of seeing Vitria in a swimsuit, however… drove him nuts. He was spending a good minute or two rolling across the sand, hugging his face, hugging his legs, jumping around and drawing… attention. The last thing he wanted, but listen-

BEACHES! BABES! PARTIES! It all screamed horndog energy! Imai had always kept up with those, uh, young adult mags that reviewed such parties in the past – the heated events were advertised smoothly in text and imagery for the young man to drool over, and now he had the chance to try out the hormone-filled beach life himself!

At the same time, however… he’d had a screw loose ever since Vitria joined their guild. Now that he had a girlfriend, his head had just been up in the clouds and fogged his sense of reason many times. He even got a… talk concerning the stunt he and Vitria pulled in front of the portal back when she joined the guild. Simply put, he was an Ace of a legal guild, and his libido could really smear his reputation among the commonfolk. At the same time, he often couldn’t give a shit…

Here they were at the beach, with azure-blue waves waiting for them, and he’d much rather just find a tent and go to town on her… b-but he could be a good Ace, right? Damn, wait, he could just take it slow today – y’know, build it up… like they did in the magazines…

Maybe she’d give him a lapdance… he’d read about those. Wait, not here – the place was too crowded… or maybe they’d play volleyball, and she’d mount his shoulders and smush his head between her- or, or, or maybe she’d want him to rub suncream on her- or-

His mind ran off with a thin trail of blood trickling off from his face. Sei was too busy rolling around with a beach ball near the shore to pay any attention to him, so he was left in his own, devious thoughts for a hot second. “V-Vitriaaaaaaa…”

The day was gorgeous and Vitria couldn’t hide the grin from her face as she walked across the beach, searching for wherever Imai had decided to set up. Like most things, they tended to go with the flow and the Bellum native was more than happy with that. There wasn’t always a set time for when they were going to meet or a concrete plan of what they were going to do, it was all freeform and spontaneous. She’d always been a little like that anyway and to come across someone as similar to her in that regard was a shock to the system. Yet, it was just one reason as to why she and Imai had hit it off so well. Their relationship had developed fast for sure but again, it was at their own pace and no one else's, which was all that mattered to Vitria.

She hadn’t exactly been shy when it came to her clothing either and a yellow bikini was her choice of clothing for the day. There was no reason for her to be conservative and Vitria had to admit that Fiore was a tad warmer than her native Bellum, not to mention the fact that her home country was so much more religious. Wandering around in bikinis there had got her in trouble once or twice with her family and although they were only little arguments, they’d been annoying nonetheless. Oh well, she could wear what she wanted now without any issues of that nature and the slayer knew that Imai would definitely appreciate her choice.

Speaking of her boyfriend, it only took her a few minutes to come across him, both due to her potent slayer senses, as well as hearing his call from about a mile away. As she approached, the slayer could see that there were people giving an odd look to someone who seemed to be rolling around on the sand, an event which caused the smile on her face to grow wider. She would have been worried that the person might have been having some kind of medical episode but the fact the locals had such daft looks on their faces made her doubt that.

Once she reached his rolling form, Vitria would kneel down on one of the towels that he’d so nicely laid out, before turning him so that his head was laying right in her waiting lap. Chuckling, she’d look down at him and simply say, “You called, Mr Ace?”

The spark.

Imai’s magical sensory abilities were top-notch, even among many other fellow Sabertooth Wizards. He’d always been a sensory type… in some way. It allowed him to realize that Vitria was actually approaching him… but his excitement was so strong that it manifested mental walls that simply blinded him to her approach. Talk about love making you blind…

But it was such a pleasant surprise to rest on her lap like this. Like a warm bed of clouds embracing you after a long, stressful day, it seemed to drain Imai of plenty of his hype, exchanging it with silent bliss. “H-Hey there…” he gasped with heart-shaped pupils, taking in a very close view of her top. The slightly stretched fabric, the vibrant yellow color, the mass of goodiness it held back-

“D-Damn, you look so hot in that…”

His hand did take its time gliding across her legs, but he needed his hands somewhere else right now- but at some point, the civilians wouldn’t be able to keep their children’s eyes away and would likely file cases against their horniness. No matter, he could keep it in his pants for a bit… but further to the left of the beach, there was an entire festival going on. And based on the metal fencing, it appeared to be a sort of restricted area that not just anyone could enter.

Someone with acute sense of smell… like a Dragon Slayer… would be able to smell the fragrant scent of colorful alcohol, seawater, juice and hormones in the air from that place. A huge spring break party kind of deal was going on over there… just like those Imai had read in his mags from days back. The lad could spot the area from the corner of his eye, and while Vitria’s lap was so comfortable, he felt that he’d be able to enjoy her company much more over there.

“Hey, wanna check that party out? Looks like a late spring break festival…” he asked her with a thumb pointing towards the source of booming music, splashing water guns, colorful drinks in the air, booths of all sorts and a lot of other activities that would leave gentlemen folded like parasols… if you catch my drift. “Like those I read about… in my mags. Damn, those parties must be wild as all hell… oh I gotta see for myself.”

Her amber eyes sparkled at the mention of how great she looked, even more so when his words were followed by the moving of his hand along her legs. She didn’t try to put him off or anything and was sorely tempted to do a little exploring of her own but as tempting as that was, the two of them weren’t alone and so she reluctantly had to restrain herself for now. There would be a time for that kind of fun later though and she was actually quite looking forward to having a fun time with Imai without instantly jumping straight to the rolling around part. They had become so close in such a short space of time that it kind of felt that they’d skipped something, or at least to her. It didn’t bother her much but was a thought in the back of her mind regardless. “Thanks for the compliment,” she replied with another chuckle, “I did my best to pick out an outfit that you’d enjoy. I’m glad that I succeeded."

Vitria could sense his rampant emotions due to her own abilities and it was difficult for her not to become swept up in them herself. He was so open with his feelings that the slayer couldn’t help but feel the same way around him, not that she usually did anyway. A look in her eyes was enough to tell her mood and right now, she was in a pretty damn good one. Nothing was going to spoil their time together today and the Bellum native couldn’t wait to explore the beach.

Following his gaze to look at the party going on close by, Vitria’s gaze lit up even more so. The sounds and smells were wonderful, which naturally also piqued the interest of the slayer’s bottomless pit of a stomach. She could smell barbecue and that was enough to set her mind racing. Her nickname was the ‘Dragon Of Bellum’ and while most assumed that it was because of her combat skills, Vitria actually believed it was because she ate like one. It never seemed to go to her stomach though and she wondered if perhaps it was being stored somewhere else instead…

“If it’s the type of party that’s mentioned in your mags then we have to join in.” She quipped with a wide grin. “Just remember that you’re an Ace of Sabertooth though and must be on your best behaviour.” It would be clear from her expression that she was just teasing him and as she stood up and offered her arm to him, she asked with a smile. “Shall we?”

Ohhhhhh, his heart couldn’t stop going crazy. Somehow, this eagerness to visit the festival going on over there was starting to outweigh his desire to just lay here on Vitria’s lap… no, no, no, that couldn’t be.

Although, having informed her of the event, he did manage to lose his very comfy pillow… and with a bump, the back of his head buried against their towel once more. “Owwww, damn it… my lap pillow…” he mumbled in pain, only to make a full recovery by her offering arm. He’d gently grab a hold of it and help himself back up again before smoothly taking the lead towards the echoing source of vibrations in the air, colors of all kinds and all the aromas that you could imagine.

Ah… that sort of techno music was relatively new in Fiore, but Imai welcomed it nonetheless. However, before the crowd of party demons jumping up and down in unison to the stage performance, a certain blonde dude with dark skin and teeth whiter than the gates to Heaven approached them with a blistering smile. He was wearing nothing but shorts and what looked like a sweather curled around his neck and shoulders… like some kind of-

“Ayyyyyyyyyyy! Dun even think dat I woud’n recognaiz ya, Sabertooth! Da fuck iz the shiz with ya legends?!” he’d greet them with all the enthusiasm in the world, even giving both a wide and embracing hug. This… threw Imai all the way off. Unheard of, but hey – at least, this dude was nice.

… Huh, he even winked at Imai. Wonder why…

“Ya came here for Lil Cana’s concert? All da good spots are taken, doe, ya a bit too late for dat, but…” the blonde guy began explaining, but upon silencing himself, they could all feel the vibrations in the air from the booming techno hiphop music coming from the singer further away, “Ya coulda been on da Moon and ya could hear dat! Hahahahahha!” With an arm latched around Imai’s shoulder – okay, uncalled for, but as long as he didn’t try anything with Vitria, the redhead lad would allow it – the blonde would smoothly lead him towards the booth where all the aromas came from.

“Ya musta been kinda hungreh, eh? ‘Specially ya, pretty gal, I can kinda tell – I make da same face, sometimes,” the blonde would explain, “… Oh, wait, da fuck? Where ma manners – ma name Golduster! I host dis Hargeon Hotspot event going awn yearly, making sure errrrrrrione havin’ a good, sexy and unforgettable time! Which reminds me- I gawt a few games here too, startin’ soon. Ya better fill ya bellies befoh participatin’, doe – can’t have ya faint mid-party like a rodent…”

With that said, the blonde made his way towards what looked like a sumo ring… but with a limbo stand in the middle. Imai would glance over towards Vitria in a mixture of shock, awe and confusion as he’d open his mouth: “K-Kinda lit, not gonna lie… maybe I need some shots to get to his level. Whatcha want from here?”

The booth held all sorts of grilled, cooked, fried and veggies… and meat. Mostly from the sea, but Vitria had all the means to go to town on this buffet. In the meantime, just ‘cause Imai was like that, he’d quietly try to ask her: “Hey, uh… did you… squeeze my butt earlier? I mean, I can’t wait to return the favor, b-but you did ask me to behave for now…”

To be honest, Vitria didn’t pick up half of what the blonde guy said or did and was kind of confused about just what happened. He didn’t make any real moves on her and not once did he feel his hand anywhere other than on her shoulder, which was OK with her. Alright, she’d happily hugged him when he offered it but there was nothing more than that. The white haired girl had come to terms with the fact that she’d have to ease up a bit when it came to flirting, now that she and Imai were a thing, which didn’t actually bother her that much. She was comfortable with the idea and was genuine in her affections for her guild mate. Being in a relationship like this was kind of new for her but it was something that she was willing to put her heart and soul into. He’d been there to welcome her into the guild and she was pretty sure that she in return had helped him in some way. No one among the guild bothered him any more as far as she knew and those fools in the kitchen had certainly shut up since she’d arrived.

Any thoughts about the odd guy though were hurled from her mind as her eyes caught sight of the food in front of the two mages. Her stomach growled so powerfully that it actually sounded like a dragon’s roar and when she turned to answer Imai’s question, the slayer looked ravenous, “You mean we can’t eat all of it?” It was just a joke for the most part and she chuckled but there was a look in her eyes that might have given the idea that she would happily eat the whole lot.

As she took a haunch of meat and took that first heavenly bite, the slayer heard her partner whisper something into her ear. Vitria’s eyebrow shot up and after swallowing, she’d quickly turn back to him. “I don’t think that was me, dude, I’d have told you if it was. I think you might have made a bigger impression on Goldluster than you thought. He sure didn’t touch my ass while we were walking anyway.” She was amused at the idea but didn’t feel any jealousy if that was the case. “You’ll have to keep an eye on him, otherwise he might try and have some fun of his own.”

Glancing towards a pair of shot glasses and a bottle of god knows what, she’d grab them and place them next to her. “Come on. Let’s have a few shots to help you get over the shock.”

”… I-I can’t eat all of it, but by all means, help ya self luv!” Imai chuckled, half-half serious about letting Vitria gobble up the buffet and… half thinking that she was just joking. Right? I mean, he did know that she had a strong appetite, but she wasn’t a glutton…

“… It wuh- it wasn’t?” Imai tilted his entire head at her direction, only now realizing that Golduster must’ve snuck a quick feel of his baked bear bun. It caused his face to redden up, mostly out of embarrassment. “I-I-I-“ Damn, was this what Kenna felt all those times back then? He should’ve been dead by now!

“What in tarnation… wha- I’m here to have fun with you! Won’t let his bling ruin that! Hmpf!”

With crossed arms, he simply let the embarrassment ebb away at his feet. Vitria quickly pointed him towards the faster solution – some strong alcohol! Without further notice, he downed two shots – tasted quite sourly, but with a sweet aftertaste – and suddenly felt much better. “Ayyyyyyy, this shit lit. I’m horny. Let’s go play limbo before I fold,” he spoke fluently, making his way towards the limbo ring that had already gotten quite a crowd betting on certain people’s abilities to make it under the continuously lowered pole.

“Ayyyyyy! Imai, yo! It true that yo real name Ōguma? D-Dun ask haow I kno’, confidensho’ sources,” Golduster proclaimed with a wave and a rather nervous smile, “A-Ahahaha… uh, a-anyweh, come join us! Ya think ya can make ett under da limbo pole as it be now?!” Fueled by hype and betting money, the crowd began cheering Imai on, fueling the latter’s own courage burning on the shots from earlier for energy.

…

“O-Oi,” Golduster nervously tried to warn Imai before watching the limbo pole bump down from the Ace’s attempt, “Ya can’t… uh, fuck, dis kinda awkward… uh, lova boi, if I wanted to limbo with a tent, I’da stayed in Enca!”

“BRO, WHY’D I LEAVE MY ILAC BACK HOME?!”

Most of the crowd were giggling in cheerful spirit, but Golduster looked… troubled. Either way, Imai failed to make it under the limbo pole for obvious reasons – now burying his front under the sand below them in embarrassment, Golduster would turn his eyes towards Vitria.

“Ayo, next challenguh?! Ya wanna avenge ya boi? I bet he’d appreciate ett… how ‘bout dis, all my moneh on ya!” Gasps of several decibels overcame the ring upon hearing his words, “Yuh, y’all are weak as bricks! BETTING IS ‘BOUT DIS HEAT! WHATCHA SAY, PRINCESS?!”

The slayer quite happily watched as Imai walked over and took part in the limbo event, stuffing her face with whatever came to hand as she did so. Hardly ladylike but she couldn’t have cared less, enjoying every mouthful that she devoured. There was nothing better than an all you can eat buffet and Vitria was definitely planning on testing that theory. Would they have enough to satiate her appetite? She wasn’t sure but the white haired woman was going to find out. It had to be said that she was quite amused by Imai’s seemingly budding friendship with the strange Golduster and she briefly wondered about whether she should start feeling jealous. Surely he wasn’t trying something on her boyfriend? It was a surprising thought and briefly brought a pause to her eating. No, Imai wouldn’t let that happen, there was just no way.

Vitria had to cringe though as she watched Imai’s attempt at the limbo, feeling for her partner as he buried his face in shame. It stung to watch him have to put up with bullies again and cheerful or not, the slayer didn’t like it, being reminded of how Imai had been made fun of back at the guild hall. Now, she had a good sense of humour by and large but public humiliation wasn’t something that she was a fan of. She’d seen such spectacles back home once or twice and they were one of the few events that could stir her anger. A horrible occurrence.

Soon enough, the challenge was put to her and after finishing off her latest haunch of meat, the slayer would stand up and approach the pole without a word, a determination to her that hadn’t been there before. As she moved closer, she’d bend her back in a perfect arch, allowing her to easily walk under the piece of wood without any sign of trouble. It had to be said that the mage didn’t look all that happy about it though and she made a motion with her hand for the pole to be lowered so that she could have another go. Vitria was going to make things right, one limbo at a time.

“Let’s see how low I can go.” The slayer said, a little more serious than usual and determined to go all the way. Some of the punters looked a little nervous but most simply took her words as a challenge and threw more money down.

People went quiet real quick once Vitria completed the first limbo course… and the next…

”Bro, I just lost 5,000 Jewels…”

Bickering began spreading, making Golduster’s eyes shine brighter than the afternoon sun hanging above them. “DAS WUT I THOUGHT! Y’ALL JEWELS ARE MINE! BETTER BET NEXT TIME, NOOBS!” the extravagant party demon boasted in their shouting faces, arms hailing up over his sides and t-posing to assert what was always there – a sickening sense of dominance.

“AYO, THIS ROUND’S THE LAST I BET ON! PLEASE, GIRL, NO MORE! I-I’LL PAY-“

“YOU SHUT YO DUMBASS MOUTH, TAKE YO LOSS LIKE A MAN!!!”

“TWO MORE ROUNDS, PLEASE!!! TWO MORE ROUNDS, AND I CAN WIN 100K!!!”

…

They had all lost their money to Golduster. Most importantly, Imai’s face had escaped the sandy bed and glared at Vitria with tears of joy rolling down his sobbing face. “V-Vitria… for me? Damn it, you’re everything I’d dreamed for…” Her solid support of him was so reassuring that it brought him to tears, for what drained lad wouldn’t start crying at a moment like this?

Lil Cana’s beat was growing heavier, but maybe it was due to the alcohol that everybody had taken… things began heating up around. Some were playing beer pong, others were trying to throw each other up on the singer’s stage, and many others were fornicating-

EITHER WAY, many more shots were brought to the light. They were all stacked in a long line in a slow change of color, resembling a palette of strong chromos. Golduster had been swift to grab a couple shots, a salt dispenser (what the fuck), and half a lemon. Thus, making his way back to his favorite guests, his cackle was starting to grow distorted by how tipsy the alcohol had made him.

“S-Say, ya ff-fffffffffffffff-fucking champion, ya wanna- y-ya wanna see da same world I see rite naw?” he suggested with eyes darting straight towards Vitria, holding up a shot glass towards her… at least, until Imai’s tipsy face approached it midway. “Ayyyyyy, I’ve made out with this glass before… hiiiiiiiiih, d-dun mind me if I-“

“Ay, ay, no, no, not you sweetie,” Golduster shushed Imai away with a finger, suddenly pushing him up on a table to relax on, “Ya ever tried a body shot? Gurl, trust me- best way to enjoy a shot, for both of ya! Haha!”

Imai might’ve been tilted, but he knew what a body shot was. All of those people from the magazines had tried it out… and thinking that Vitria would try the same thing got him all kinds of excited. He felt the beverage spilling on his belly, was gagged with the lemon piece and everything. His mumbling clearly told words of censored desires towards Vitria, along with his classic heart-shaped eyes… that was-

“But ya new ta dis, so I’ma demonstrate.”

And the next thing the boy saw was Golduster’s devious lick across his belly like he was a damn ice cream cone. All of the excitement was gone with the wind, and Imai’s face had turned pale-grey. Eyes void of life. No signs of blood inside of him. Nothing…

“Hehe, a bih mischievous of ma! Sorreh lass, just wanted ta make sure – he kinda fucking cute, ya know? Ya two an item? Also, why he looka me laik dat? Ya okay, bear?”

There was a look that crossed Vitria’s face which would have melted lead when Goldluster licked Imai and her time doing the limbo ended right then and there, much to the unhappiness of the punters. Still, some had made money and clapped as she walked over to where Imai and the blonde guy were. She’d never felt like this before and felt genuine anger towards the event organiser for daring to touch her boyfriend in such a way. It was a strange feeling but she had a right to be angry, knowing that her partner had no interest in other men. What this bastard was doing was unforgivable and he certainly seemed to turn pale when facing her then. Her gaze turned rather like a dragon's then and she looked at him as though he was a threat to her mate.

“Keep your tongue off of him. He has no interest in you or any other man so keep your body parts to yourself.” Her tone was far more aggressive than normal. “Imai is my partner and if anyone is going to take care of him in such a way, it’ll be me. Just look at what you’ve done to him!” For a second, the area around her seemed to heat up a bit but soon enough, she regained control. It seemed that love could do some weird things to people and in Vitria’s case, it drew out emotions that she never thought she’d had before.

Once he backed off and started to talk with the other beach goers, Vitria would turn to look at Imai, who appeared to be rather ill after what had just happened. Annoyed beyond belief still, she would remove the lemon from his mouth so that he could breathe properly before starting to run a hand gently through his hair. It must have been a horrible experience for him and as she pondered about how best to help, she decided that perhaps she should simply follow through with what that blonde haired idiot had done. She’d gently wipe Imai’s body with a nearby towel, before pouring a drink over his frame and gently licking. It was a little embarrassing to do such a thing if she was honest but the people there seemed to be so filthy minded that anything seemed to be on the table. Still, she’d do it for the man she loved

Golduster got into trouble with some of the other beachgoers concerning the bets they made earlier, so he got his hands full with the nemesis to his previous hubris. On the other hand, he couldn’t help but smile inside. Dat boi sho gawt a keepuh… I oughta apologize to em latuh, if I SURVIVE DIS NIGHT?!?!

With the lynch mob running after his riches, Golduster had to make his leave for now. The party went on… but Imai was having an internal fit right now. Somehow, it felt like karma wrecked his ass today, but he couldn’t put his finger on why he felt this way…

There was a certain spark that woke him up again – in many more ways than one. Vitria taking a body shot off him made him realize that, despite all the troubles and tribulations this world held in store for him, he always… had her. In that swift instant, his deep love for her grew tenfold-

And burst his nasal arteries.

People listening to Lil Cana’s performance began panicking at the sight of crimson rain. They ran in all directions, not understanding why it was raining blood – did someone pull a terrible prank on them? A few confirmed it to smell and taste like blood, and that freaked them all sorts of off. It was kind of a disaster, really.

All that was left was a pseudo-empty concert and a nose-bloodied Imai with a goofy grin on his happy face. “L-Let’s… go back…” he managed to whisper out from the blissful world he found himself in, lifting up a hand towards her, “I wanna… I wanna return to yo lap real quick…”

The day hadn’t gone as she’d thought it would but as she looked down at his blood stained face, Vitria couldn’t help but smile, her anger from before having well and truly vanished by now. There was no one left but them and now that her mate was safe from Goldluster, she felt comfortable again. Their day at the beach may have been short but it had actually taught her something about herself, that she was willing to do anything in order to protect her love. It might have sounded silly that she had to learn such a thing but here she was.

“How about I clean you up first?” She replied to his suggestion, before placing a hand on his bare chest and starting to heal him, using her slayer powers in order to do so. Vitria was mostly an offensive type mage but she did have a few supportive skills in her arsenal, mostly to do with water. A cool stream of the liquid would gently caress his body, before heading towards his head, repairing the damage that had been done to his nose. He’d feel no discomfort though and with any luck, he wouldn’t react badly to her attempt. In all, it took a few minutes for her to heal him and once she’s finished, Vitria would smile and then say. “All done. Now we can go.”

Honestly, she was quite happy to return after going through all this and had no problem with his suggestion but before the slayer helped him up, Vitria leaned over and captured his lips with her own, unable to help herself now that they were alone. She’d been able to control herself during the festivities but was struggling a bit now and simply had to share a moment with her partner. It was a blissful few moments and when she finally pulled away, she looked a little red in the face too. “Alright, I’m serious this time.” She chuckled.

With that being said, the slayer would pick up her partner, carrying him like a bride and start to walk off the beach with the Ace in her arms. It would no doubt have looked a little odd to those nearby but since there wasn’t anyone around it would matter. She was looking forward to getting back and spending some more quiet time with her partner, away from the eyes of others.

As a final joke, she’d utter as they walked away. “You’d better have liked my body shot better than his.”
