Samuel in a dream felt someone stroking his cheek, gentle and warm it started feeling more and more real until he slowly opened his eyes in his bed and met Ulma's eyes looking back as she was gently stroking his cheek. There was no shame in the others eyes over what they had done, that night they had seen the same pains that plagued them in eachothers eyes and they had healed eachother with comfort.
Samuel gently put a hand on her and started gently caressing her side to which she quivered a bit with a slightly scared smile. But there they lay, in silence for quite some time as the sun was getting higher and higher. They felt no stress for time since their mentors were going to come and gather them for a team exercise day closer to the middle of the day, and even if that was the case that they did not stress about that.
The two completely lost themselves in the others presence, after a while Samuel was the first to speak. "I am not going to lie, it was a bit sudden and I didn't know what I was doing half of the time." He said with a slight blush while Ulma slowly inched closer and gave him a kiss when he was done speaking. "Well, do you regret it?" She asked while biting her own lip with a blush of her own. "NO!" Samuel almost yelled out... "No... no I very much liked it, just a bit surprised - I was under the impression you did not like me!"
Ulma chuckled and sat up a bit and gave him a deep kiss. "And? What about now?" A wide smile on her lips appeared as she stretched her entire naked shape up in front of him not caring about covering anything. Samuel quickly sat up to match her height and replied by giving her a long kiss, she eventually pushed him back a little with a smile.
"If we continue now, we both know where we are gonna end up... and as much as I would like, we are going to be leaving pretty soon." She couldn't help but sigh, she felt this deep connection to Samuel irking her to never let him go, ever.
Samuel gave her a wide grin. "I know how to do two birds with one stone!" He said and jumped out of bed while Ulma sat up with a big question mark on her face. That question mark turned into a squeek when he suddenly picked her up in his big arms without a problem. Samuel quickly brought her into the bathroom and started up a warm bath, while she had sparkling eyes and bit her lower lip in anticipation.
After about an hour of fun Samuel had her lay on his chest while he sat towards the wall of the bathtub. She leaned her head back and felt like she could fall asleep again but a question plagued her mind, the night before it had been too dark to see his scar where his heart was. But now during the morning light and that of the bathrooms crystal light she had not missed the scar that supposedly went all the way through.
She turned on her side and sat next to him in the bath and touched the scar. "How did you get this? And how did you survive such a wound? It looks like it pierced all the way through..." She trailed off and looked him in the face.
Samuel suddenly realized what a rocky start they had, the thing that had united them was the familiar pain they saw in eachother and wanted to get rid off, they had essentially used eachother to lessen the pain they carried within, Samuel still unsure of how he actually felt about her and vice versa for her.
But he decided to be honest about it, and told her about his childhood and what had happened to his childhood, only leaving out the exact identity of his saviour. But he still had no idea how he had actually been saved from the wound that had pierced his heart, Ulma rested her head towards his chest close to the end to make sure he actually had a heartbeat.
"Prognosis says you are alive still!" She said and gave him a smile and gentle kiss. "What about you?" Samuel quickly asked when he noticed she was slightly pulling away, he quickly embraced her belly and brought her back to his chest where she quickly turned around and gave him a kiss and started grinding her naked body on his again.
She quickly stopped and whispered, "Is it alright if I tell you another time? I promise I will!" She looked straight into his eyes and she saw an understanding gaze and he smiled and nodded. "I will keep you to it though!" Samuel said and started biting her filling the room with more moans.
Roughly an hour later they both walked out of his room, Samuel fully dressed and Ulma quickly running over to her own room and getting properly dressed. She had made sure to check that no one was around to see her. Samuel went down to make something to eat, and just as he started making food, both Erica and Sonya came back with tired looks on their faces.
"Did you spend your entire night drinking or something?!" Sam asked the two of them and Sonya and Erica both were flabbergasted to see Samuel look at them with an honest smile, one he had not shown since he was still a child in his home village. It wasn't one of his usual half creepy smiles but a smile that really made him look cute.
Sonya roared a laughter and waved back her head. "Yeah we drank a little bit too much!" She said after she was done laughing. "What about you? I have never seen you so happy before! Did you have a nice day off or something?" Sonya asked with a wide grin. "Also make some food for us as well, our mentors are gonna be here soon and I don't want to go off hungry!" She said and received a supportive nod from Erica.
"Can do!" Samuel nodded and made sure to make breakfast for them all. As the two girls sat down, Sonya eagerly looked toward the stairs and waited for Ulma who soon enough came walked down, but to Sonya's surprise she had her same usual annoyed facial expression, almost.
Only almost the same, it was ever so slightly more relaxed. Which made Sonya think she was all wrong and shrugged while Erica was wondering what had happened to make him so happy. "Oh right we were plenty drunk yesterday so you will never guess what dear little Erica told me yesterday!" Sonya quickly said making everyone turn their heads.
"You can't!" Erica blurted out and tried putting her hands over Sonya's mouth, but Sonya easily dodged out of the way. "Little Erica here has a real fancy for human ladies!" Sonya laughed out loud while pulling Erica close in a hug while she was taking on new shades of red. If Sonya was blushing it was almost impossible to tell, her pink violet skin tone had a hard time betraying any blushing.
"Well, theres nothing wrong with that." Ulma shrugged and Samuel nodded. "Thats not the point though! If she likes girlies then I don't care either!" Sonya said while continuing to laugh, "The point is she dropped all her belongings when she saw a really pretty lady in one of the high end bars we visited. Including spilling her drink all over another random guy!" Sonya reared her head back in another laughter.
Erica just shrunk into a whimper in Sonya's embrace and she peeked a little at Samuel and Ulma, thankfully both of them only smiled a bit instead of mocking her like Sonya was doing. "Well, I will enjoy repeating the story of how a hungover Sonya behaves!" Samuel said with a chuckled shortly after. Making Sonya suddenly freeze up with her smile frozen still on her face as she pondered his words.
Sonya quickly coughed and Samuel served them all their food, "Anyway...." Sonya quickly trailed off eager to change subject. "You certainly seem happy today Sam!" She said looking at him curiously and she instantly noticed he froze up a bit before continuing to chew his food.
"Well I had a really nice relaxing day yesterday! Probably the most relaxing day in my life, ever." Samuel nodded with a smile, happy to have found a reply that dodged the subject without revealing anything, which made Sonya turn to Ulma whose expression had changed from annoyed to a slight blush, which made Sonya's grin turn evil.
"What about you dear Ul?" Sonya asked with raised eyebrows. Which made Ul look away completely with a red blush. "Did you do anything fun?" She continued her barrage, and to her surprise Ulma instantly put down her cutlery and looked at Sonya with a soft smile and tapped on Samuel's shoulder with a finger. The instant he turned to her she jumped up and gave him a deep kiss which left him speechless and surprised when she pulled away seconds later.
She turned to Sonya and saw that both the other girls sat there with their mouths left gaping from shock. She gave Sonya a quick curtsy before sitting back down and finishing her meal. Erica just looked from Samuel to Ulma back and forth several times before it finally sunk in, while Sonya was just thinking 'I knew something was up' to herself with a small smile.
"We had a very nice relaxing day yesterday!" Ulma spoke in between bites. The rest of the breakfast although very short was spent in silence from shock from all parties except for Ulma who seemed very triumphant.
Until finally knocks on their door revealed time to have ran ahead as their mentors were all assembled for the team exercise they were holding.
