Inari: Calling a man to sleep with you - how scandalous.
Rozyus: *Unintelligible Mumbling* …..Bed…. Sleep….
*Trying not to laugh, Inari climbed into the sheets, settling down to cradle the girl to him. She quickly snuggled into him, sighing contently. Seeing her peaceful expression, Inari nuzzled closer to her*
Inari [Inner Thought]: *Shaking head fondly* It should be considered sin for anyone to be this cute. Heavens help me… *Chuckle* ...Goodnight my bride.
*Sleep seemed a distant thing that night. After everything that had happened, what would happen, he could only hold Rozyus closer to himself, if only to remind him that she was there in his arms, even as his mind raced over what was to come. Eventually, however, sleep finally claimed him. Unfortunately, it barely felt like his eyes had closed when a pressure on his chest dragged him back to consciousness. Begrudgingly opening his eyes, he gazed down his chest...and smirked as he noticed the girl had somehow ended up on his body*
Inari: Soooo….can I help you, young lady?
Rozyus: EEP!
*With a yelp, the girl practically shot backwards and almost off the bed itself, only saved by Iari’s quick reflexes, catching her by the waist. He couldn’t help but feel his grin widen as Rozyus, in a desperate attempt to try for composure, managed to babble out a greeting*
Rozyus: *Blush* M-Morning! I….Uh….I wasn’t doing anything w-weird! I swear! I just-
Inari: *Lightly teasing* Staring intently? Hm...I could of course be mistaken….though….I do wonder if you might be able to explain this...wonderful scent you seem to be exuding so early in the morning?
*Trying not to laugh at how crimson her face was turning, Inari pulled the girl back onto the bed, changing their positions so that he hovered over her, scanning her expression. Her hands had spring up in an effort to control her fluster, but even so, he could see her fingers part, looking up at him through wonderfully sultry eyes. She was practically playing coy! Delighted that she was still trying to drag his attention even as she was trying to regain some self control, Inari chuckled, leaning on his elbow and coxing her hands aside, curling his fingers around hers, feeling her smooth digits wrap around his even as his lips met hers. A soft muffled sound hummed against him as Rozyus’ eyes fluttered closed, sense of embarrassment forgotten in the wake of their kiss.
A little further away, an annoyingly familiar presence made themselves known*
Voice: Well, what do you expect? It’s ‘mating season’, whether she realises she’s trying or not.
SFX: CRUNCH!!!
*Growling at the interruption, Inari pulled back, glaring to where the unwanted visitor ate, the obnoxiously loud sound only serving to highlight just how irritated the god was getting at the constant voyeur*
Inari: *Snarling* Why….Are you here….now.
*Starting as she realised they were being watched, Rozyus practically dived for the bed sheets. Tilting their heads, the visitor merely raised a brow, continuing to eat the fruit*
Venus: Ugh...seriously! Your moods swing way too much! *Crunch, talking with mouth full* ‘Ike, ‘ou know, she’s no’ gonna ‘ike ‘ou much ‘onger if’ou continue ‘o be tha’ way. *Swallow* Um! So, yes, your daily dose of exposition is back!
Inari: Just leave!
Venus: So, if I may…
*Completely ignoring Inari’s protests and the obvious discomfort of the two occupants of the room, the goddess snapped her fingers. The sheets that covered the girl vanished from her grip (startling a yelp) and rearranged themselves at the bottom of the bed. Hastily, Rozyus tried to fix her clothing into something moderately modist as she tried to hide behind the increasingly exasperated harvest god, who, in turn, was glaring unimpressed at Venus, before slowly beginning to massage his temples in an effort to keep his temper.*
Inari: *Sigh* ...
Venus: Right now, Little Miss Breed Me over there is extremely fertile during this time, so you should show some caution that you don’t do the Horizontal Tango and conceive yourselves a child. *Slightly deeper tone* Exhibit A.
*The goddess gestured towards Rozyus*
Venus: Inari, should you use your second sight, you’ll see exactly why I’m here. ‘Coz, for real, a bitch has better things to do than look after you two all the time. Honestly!
*Inari bit back the complaint that if they just sat them down and told them everything before these situations then they would have these annoying situations, instead doing as he was told. His eyes turned a pale gleaming violet as he looked his lover over with his power, only to still in surprise. Unseen by normal eyes, dozens of tiny souls, mere sparks of life without true form swirled around the girl’s stomach, as if just waiting for the chance to latch on the moment of conceiving, should conception occur, drawn to Rozyus’ current high fertility. There were two tiny souls of unborn children touching the stomach almost hopefully. Oddly, the scene….reminded Inari of something. Something from long ago when his own existence was still quite new.
It took him a moment to recall...finally, it hit him. He recalled the day years ago, still a small god new to his power who had listened to Parame’s wants and desire and, with his gifts, helped Parame to conceive, guiding a tiny soul to where it belonged. His eyes closed, gentle smile twitching fondly at the memory of who’s soul it was.*
Inari: Thank you for the info. Message received. Now, if you would please kindly leave unless you want to see a show?
Venus: *Slightly deeper tone, coy eyebrow raise* OH honey, go right ahead.
*Flippantly, Venus tossed her hair with the flick of a hand*
Venus: Did you forget just who I am? Watching live sex is practically a pastime by now. It is an artform, after all. Still, by all means, do as you will, but only after the ceremony. You can wait a few more months, correct? Besides, don’t you need to be getting on with something? The old dog will be here by evening. Do as you will until then.
*Turning, Venus left, a picture of flowing locks and swaying hips, but for Inari, he was just glad not to have her watching him having a moment with Rozyus. Speaking of the girl, he turned his attention back to her once more, who, riled up by everything that happened, once again reduced to fluster*
Rozyus: W-What?! S-stop staring at me like that…
Inari: *Small Smile* Like what, love?
*The girl’s eyes widened a little as Inari crawled closer, gently pressing her back against the plush sheets once again*
Rozyus: ‘Nari?
*Silencing Rozyus with a soft kiss, he curled against her, face resting on her chest as he closed his eyes, listening to her heartbeat. What he had seen...what he now knew was there...he had never before had such a need to share. Resting against her warmth, the words spilled forth in quiet awe*
Inari: I saw them...there are two adorable souls just waiting for us, and already taken such a shine to you. And it’s like seeing the centre of the galaxy flowing around you. You know, when everything is done, the fight for your hand, the ceremony, we’ll have all the time in the world. They wont even let us…..never mind.
*As he spoke, Rozyus had began to stroke his hair, the gentle movement lulling him into peaceful calm*
Rozyus: Were they cute?
Inari: Hm?
Rozyus: The children. Were they cute?
*Eyes closed, he thought of the little souls who had touched Rozyus, a warm smile gracing his lips*
Inari: Mm. The girl...she seemed fisty. She reminded me of you, even though she resembled me. I must say the boy….well, he looked too pure for this world.
Rozyus: *Soft chuckle* Sounds about right.
*With that, contented, the two drifted off to sleep.
A few hours had passed before Inari came to once more. With what he had seen in mind, knowing what was to come, he was more determined than ever that he had to win the challenge to come. Carefully, he slipped from the bed, pressing a butterfly soft kiss to Rozyus’ head before quietly dressing in the traditional Paradion garments and drawing his hair into something presentable. With one last lingering look at the light of his life, he carefully slipped from the room, ghosting through the near silent corridors in the direction of Parame’s chamber. With the halls so empty, only the quiet sound of his footsteps as company, it filled him with an odd somberness, as if the world was holding its breath. Finally, he paused at the doorway, which already stood ajar, as if inviting him to enter. Taking a deep breath in preparation, he knocked on the door until a voice drifted to his ear*
Parame: Come in, my sweet boy.
*Drawing himself up, Inari stepped into the chamber, head high and his stance regal as he made his way to the Elder Goddess*
Inari: Good morning, Mother-
*Only it wasn’t only Parame in the room. There was another. One he had not seen in a while, but who he knew he had wanted to see. Whether by fate (Heh) or design, Parame’s husband, Rozyus’ father, alwo awaited. Without missing a step, he adjusted his greeting, bowing respectfully to the elder male*
Inari: And to you as well, Father. I had hoped to be able to meet with you.
Father: So I’ve heard.
*Straightening, he looked up to the Lord*
Inari: Father...Will you help me?
