It had been another week since Albion began to hear the woman have her private time. He tried his best to ignore it and to be a gentleman but that was hard to do. Her moans would echo through the cave and if Albion couldn't go to sleep it would happen for what seemed like the whole day.
Albion's head was gently resting on the woman's soft warm lap. It was a great comfort to have his head rested on her lap. It was so soft. Softer than any pillow he had at home or in his old home in his last life.
???: Can you… open your eyes yet?
Albion: No. They still feel too heavy to move. Though I can feel my feet now. And my arms are lighter.
???: You're recovering… much faster than I expected. It's… only been two… weeks. You… may… recover this week.
The woman said sounding happy. But Albion couldn't help but feel as if she was worried about something. But he didn't know why she was worried. Albion never asked because he could feel she wouldn't tell him.
Albion: That's nice. I'm sorry for being such a burden. Especially with the more… private matters you've had to help me with.
???: N-NO! I-I wanted to help… you. Y-you saved me. And… I-I… want to help… you still.
Albion: Thank you. But we've discussed my life. What about yours?
After Albion could start talking he spoke about all of his time in the village. His teacher Mrs Winchester, his desire to be an adventurer and defeat the demon king. His kind loving parents. He spoke of nearly everything. Only leaving Lily and his last life out. He didn't want to have his last life impact his current one. And Lily was the special person that he couldn't really tell anyone about.
???: I-I don't have… much of a life.
Albion: How so?
???: I… rarely leave the cave. I-I have no more family.
Albion cursed to himself. He had caused someone else to bring up more bad memories. He didn't like this habit of doing it. Even if it was all unintentional.
Albion: I… I'm sorry.
???: There's… no need to be. Those goblins… did something… very bad to my… mother. They… they kept us prisoners until… she died. And… I escaped. And… for years… I lived in this cave. But… they found me. And… you saved me.
Albion felt her hands moving through his hair as she gently stroked his head. It was so peaceful just to be next to her.
Albion: It was the least I could do.
???: But what was someone… like you… doing in so deep… in the forest. So late.
Albion: I… I wanted to prove myself to my parents. That I was strong enough to become more independent. I… I guess I failed at that.
Albion gave a small giggle with a smile.
???: You're… really brave. Strong. I… I think you're more… than enough to be… independent.
Albion: Thanks. Though… I wouldn't mind staying dependent on you… {MY GOD WHY DID I SAY THAT!!!! THAT WAS SO RUDE! SO…} I'm really…
???: No. I-I wouldn't… I wouldn't mind… if… if you were dependent on me.
Albion grew a larger blush as he felt a heavy breath get closer to him. Both his and the woman's breaths were heavier. Albion could tell they were getting closer and closer. It was the tension between them. Albion thought he was imagining it. But it was real. This was going to be happening. The breaths were so heavy as it all suddenly seemed to disappear. As their lips slowly connected. Was it better or worse that he couldn't see her? All he wanted to do was open his eyes right now. But he couldn't help but like that, his mind had to concentrate on her feeling. The softness of her lips against his. As they got deeper into the kiss. They could both taste each other. Her taste was amazing. Addictive. Her tongue was much longer than Albion's as it travelled into Albion's mouth. They both parted for air. Panting as they were kissing for so long. He felt a hand move down his body to his private area.
Albion: Wait! I… I can't.
???: I… I am sorry! I… I didn't know you didn't…
Albion: No… I'm just… not ready for that yet. {NOT FOR A LONG TIME! I MAY ACCEPT THE LAWS HERE! BUT FOR THAT… HELL NO! I'M WAITING TILL PREVIOUS WORLDS LAWS KICK IN! And…} I want to be able to see you for that.
???: Oh… I-I'm sorry.
Albion: Can we… kiss… some more?
Albion asked with a massive blush on his face. The bush only grew because he didn't know what facial reaction the woman was having on her face. This was his first time feeling like this around anyone. Even in his past life relationships, he had never felt so strongly towards another person. In his past life, relationships were only built out of loneliness but those quickly broke. But this felt like it could last forever.
???: If… if you want to?
Albion: I do.
They both got closer and closer again. It was the same tension build-up. Albion could feel her looking at him. It made his heart race. But the tension was cut as they began kissing again. He felt the woman feel his toned body. This was a type of bliss Albion wanted to live in. Kissing someone he loved. Feeling them. Being with them. He had never felt like this before. To have this strong of a connection to someone. And as they finished making out they parted. The woman's long tongue came out of his mouth as a string of saliva broke from both of their lips. Her tongue was remarkably long. Albion couldn't think straight during the kiss because of it. But he was certainly about something.
Albion: Do you… want to come back home with me?
Albion asked. He was truly in love with this woman. She was kind, gentle, beautiful in his eyes even though she had only ever described her appearance and Albion had only ever caught a glimpse of this woman. He didn't know how a relationship worked only having one before, and that had its issues. But he wanted to stay with this woman.
???: W… what? W… what about… your parents?
Albion: They would probably kill me for going into the forest alone. So you'll have to date a ghost. But they wouldn't be angry that I saved you. I… I could probably convince them to let you stay.
The woman gave a small but adorable giggle.
???: I… I don't know.
Albion: I… I promise they're nice despite how I picture them. They're just as unique as you. I… I promise I'll protect you just like I did before. I… I like you. A lot.
Albion was blushing heavily as his heart was beating much faster. The woman laid on his chest as his heartbeat got faster.
???: Just take deep… breaths. I'll… I'll consider it… depending… on how you… see me.
Albion took deep breaths. This was the closest he had ever got to someone other than his parents and Lily. He wanted to bear his heart out to this woman. But he wanted to see her. To look her in her beautiful eyes to tell her.
Albion: Ok. But… I'll see you the exact same way as I did when I passed out.
???: And… how was that?
Albion: B-Beautiful.
There was more ringing in his ears but he focused on the woman's breathing and touch as they both went to sleep. The woman didn't seem to be wearing much, lying on his bare chest.
