Lovebug by zephyr_paws

 
 

Story Notes:

Time to give something back for all of the lemons I've read. My first lemon/story, so go easy on me. Contains under-age, first time, yiffing action between a Pikachu (M) and a Caterpie (F). And mush. Lots of mush.


Lovebug

Lovebug
Pikachu (M) x Caterpie (F)

I don't usually write lemons or stories. In fact, this is probably the only full story that I have ever completed from start to finish. It was inspired by some cute pic I saw on Ch. 9 with a Pikachu and a Caterpie in it, and I decided it needed a story to go along with it.

It was originally going to be a short semi-consensual lemon, but I just kind of got carried away and got too detailed with personality and conflicts so it's now a weird kind of love story.

Don't let the prospect of bug sex scare you away from reading. I take some literary liberties rather than get all technical involving the Caterpie.

Enjoy the lemony goodness. It sure gave me some good lemon-writing practice... with any luck, there'll be future lemons, and they'll be written even better.

And if you aren't of legal age to read stories of adult nature (18 or 21 in most locales), you shouldn't be reading this, and you have been given the appropriate warning. And if you are underage, don't go around saying that I ruined your life because of this story, because it was your own damn fault for reading it in the first place.

While I'm on the subject of warnings, this lemon contains straight sex between two young, first-timers. So if you don't like 'em young and inexperienced (or straight), you probably should stop reading now and miss out on the cute story of bonding... and sex.

Now, enough babble, and on with the show.

"I'll be back in a little bit, mom," said a young Pikachu as he tied a straw berry pouch around his neck and headed out of the tree stump he calls home.

It was a pleasant day in the Viridian Forest. The wind was blowing slightly. The warm breeze felt particularly nice to the Pikachu as he scurried about on this fine Spring day.

Eventually the young Pikachu came across a bush of Oran Berries, lush and ripe for the picking. He untied the pouch around his neck and opened the string that sealed it tightly shut. A swift swipe towards the bush net him a pawfull of the tasty fruit. Taking his freshly picked berries, he slid them off his paw and into his berry pouch, to take back home. Of course, he had to sample one or two to ensure they meet his quality standard. They did, as verified by a satisfied smile, and by another quick taste.

As he continued to pick and sample the berries, he heard the shrieking cry of a Pokemon under attack. "Please, don't, I don't want to dieee!!" The Pikachu's ears perked at the cry, and he began to look around to identify the direction it was coming from. It was to his left. Tying the berry pouch back around his neck, he took a few steps towards the noise, and saw what seemed to be a Rattata backing a Caterpie against a tree. "Save it! Who do you think would come to rescue a stupid old Caterpie, huh?" spoke the cocky rat. "Don't eat me, please!" begged the poor Caterpie, crying uncontrollably.

Without warning, a bolt of electricity flew at the approaching rodent. "What the-!" The Rattata turned towards the source of the shock to see a Pikachu with sparking cheeks. "Scram, you snot. Go pick on someone else."

"Hey! No one interrupts me when I'm about to feast!" shouted the purple rat.

"What are you gonna do about it then, huh?" retorted Pikachu, sending a light spark of electricity in the Rattata's direction.

"Well, I- I- uhhh..."

"Yeah, all bark and no bite. Get outta here."

Much to Pikachu's surprise, the Rattata wasted no time in doing just that, and scurried off into the forest. "That was easy..." remarked Pikachu.

"You... you saved my life!" said the still teary-eyed Caterpie. She joyfully rushed towards her hero and gave him a peck on his little red cheek. Pikachu blushed. "My name's Lina," she spoke, "You saved my life, and I don't know how I can repay you! I'll do anything! Anything at all that a Caterpie can do!"

Lina affectionately nuzzled against the Pikachu's stomach. "I'm Zester, and it really was nothing. It was just a Ratta-" His words were cut off by a swift tackle followed by a sweet kiss, right to the Pikachu's muzzle. It took him by surprise, especially because he wasn't exactly sure how a Caterpie's mouth could even be used for kissing in the first place.

Lina released her lock on Zester's lips after a few seconds and just smiled at him contently, wagging her tail behind her. No... No... She's just a Caterpie, Zester thought to himself.

"Well, I'm glad that things are fine and all, but I have to get back to picking berries. Stay out of trouble next time!" With that, Zester tightened the knot on his berry pouch, and headed off in pursuit of more berries.

***

A few minutes later, after Zester had gotten a bit away from the scene and back to picking some fruit, thoughts of the Caterpie started haunting his thoughts. The kiss. He just could not get that kiss of hers out of his mind. It felt so different from his first kiss. This one, unlike the last, caught him by surprise instead of the other way around. She liked it, too. She must have. Had she not have wanted to do that, she wouldn't have done it in the first place, right? "Did I even like it?" Zester asked himself aloud, clearly thinking about this a lot more than he should be.

"Like what?"

That response. It was Lina, the Caterpie from earlier. Startled, Zester quickly turned behind him to see the Caterpie staring at him inquisitively.

"What are you doing here?" he asked.

"You... you saved me, Zester. That Rattata would have killed me!"

"Don't say that now," he reassured her, "he was just a small fry anyway."

Lina became quiet. Something about that last sentence must have struck a nerve. Zester, unfortunately, had a feeling he knew what it was, after mentally retracing his words.

"...I didn't mean it like that, I'm sorry. You're not a small fry."

To Lina, this came as a pleasant relief. She knew that he was just trying to make her feel better, but that was all that was really important to her about it - he was apologetic and sympathetic.

"You know, Zester... it's not easy being picked on all your life," she started. "My older brother and sister were both eaten by a hungry Pidgey. I've been bullied by the Pokemon in the forest before, only narrowly escaping each time. They just see me as weak, and unimportant..." Lina took a sigh, and turned away, still continuing her sad speech, "Not even a Trainer wanted to catch me. So many Charmanders and Bulbasaurs hit, beat, and tackled me until I passed out, all being bossed around by their Trainers. The Trainers didn't even bother to catch me, though. I must have just looked weak and helpless to them..."

This took Zester by quite a surprise. She almost sounded like she would have been happy to have gotten caught by a Trainer, which most wild Pokemon fear, as it takes them away from their family and natural lives, and the capturing process clears Pokemon of a lot of their wild memory.

"...of course, that's what I am: weak and... and..." she stuttered. Tears started to run down her eyes, and before long, she burst out in crying. Now Zester really started to see things from a Caterpie's perspective. Being a Pikachu, he has enough natural skill to defend himself against pretty much anything in the Viridian Forest, and can certainly outspeed any Trainer that would try catch him. But being right on the bottom of the food chain, even lower than a Weedle, which can at least poison its predators, has got to be hard.

Zester no longer saw the tearful Caterpie as just food for some other Pokemon, but as an individual, as a friend. Feelings of guilt started to course through his conscience as he remembered leaving her behind after saving her, treating her like nothing more than exactly what she looked like to him at the time: a Caterpie.

As Lina continued to cry, Zester grabbed her from behind, turned her around, and looked her right into her two big eyes. "Lina. You're not weak. You're a lot braver than any Pikachu I know. Hell, any of them would have given up and become a wreck after living five minutes in the life of a Caterpie, but you keep going, you keep fighting. And you call yourself weak? I'm the one who's weak, to not have seen what you have to always be going through, living my easy life, picking berries and not worrying about getting picked off by some Pidgey."

He took a brief pause, just to make sure that he wasn't hurting her any more. He wasn't, although she was stunned out of tears, listening intently to what he was saying. "I, well... you're the one I should be thanking..." After saying that, he closed his eyes, and planted his lips right against hers, or at least what he assumed were her lips from last time. They certainly felt the same. No, better.

Lina was now the one confused and taken off-guard, although contently so. She couldn't believe what was happening. Was it some sort of joke? It's not like a Pikachu would actually care about her weak and insignificant self, right? But it's very unlikely that her sad story alone would drive him to carry on a kiss of such magnitude. Who was she to complain?

After what seemed like a blissful eternity, the two release each other from their oral grip, and give a starry-eyed stare to one another.

"I... uh... would you..." Zester stuttered, "would you... like uhhh..." He looked down at his sack, and clutched it in his hand. He then gave a quick tug, and opened up the pouch. "...a berry?" he finished, offering her one of the berries that he had earlier picked.

"Y-yes, I would!" she promptly replied, and gladly took the berry from him, munching it down with her bug-like mouth. "Delicious!" she exclaimed.

Not knowing what else to do, and still feeling somewhat awkward - although very content - from their experience, the two continue to rob the berry pouch, and happily consume the remaining berries.

"Guess we'll need to go get some more, huh?" said Zester.

They started gathering more berries whenever they came across them, sampling them as they went, and adding the leftovers to the berry pouch.

"So, if you don't mind me asking... what happened to your parents? I didn't hear you mention them." inquired Zester.

"My parents?" she answered. "I only faintly remember them... but what I do remember of them was nice. They were beautiful Butterfree! Their wings were so magnificent..."

"What happened to them?"

"I don't know... they flew off when I was really young."

"I'm sorry..."

"No, don't be," she stopped him, "that's what Butterfree do."

"Yeah, but still. I thought it was rough having my dad leave me, but I can't even imagine growing up without my mom..."

"Your dad left you?" she asked.

Zester nodded. "That good for nothing scumsack didn't even stick around after mating with my mom. He just left, right after they had sex. Tch, probably for another girl."

"Sex? What's sex?" the young Caterpie asked curiously. Caterpie aren't taught about mating and reproduction until they evolve into Butterfree, where they learn it instinctively.

"That's when you-" he froze. She didn't know about sex. How could she not know about sex? About mating? Zester had certainly seen his fair share of wild Pokemon romps. Nidorans, Sandshrews and Rattatas, even some other Pikachus - one of which he knew all too well. Of course, the little voyeur always remained a silent, unnoticed spectator through all that he saw, and never got in on any of the action. Well, at least, with anyone else... he certainly was all too familiar with pawing off. But that couldn't cure his curiosity. He had been eager to try it ever since the first time he saw it in action.

"Come on, what is it?" She broke his train of thought. He forgot that he was answering her question, getting wrapped up in his own thoughts.

"You... you mean you really don't know? About sex? Or mating?"

"Umm... nope? Can you tell me?"

Oh, oh, how about I show you, the anxious Pikachu thought to himself. Mentally, he slapped himself for the thought. He couldn't take advantage of his sweet, innocent friend just to sate his own curiosities. Could he?

"Well, you see... uh... how to put this..."

Not wanting to blurt anything out, Zester tried to give some thought as to how he should explain things. As much as he wanted to just try it out and see what happened, giving her a live explanation, he just couldn't bring himself to do that, especially after hearing what her sad little life has been like. Of course, on the other hand, in most but a few of the romps that he'd seen, the female certainly seemed to be enjoying it. Perhaps it would be something that Lina would like...

Let's just start with the basics, Zester thought. "Okay, do you know the difference between a male and a female?" he asked.

"Of course I do! Males have deeper voices, while females are more gentle and become moms."

This time, Zester physically slapped himself on the forehead. She really was clueless. Now what...?

"You really are clueless," he muttered to himself. "What do you use to pee with?" Now he was going to get some answers. Not only that, but he just then realized that he might actually get to see a female's 'parts' up close - something which he'd never done before. Not really. He had a rough idea of what a female's genitals looked like, and had seen distant shots of some, but was denied any opportunity to see them clearly up close.

Without hesitation, Lina rolled onto her back. "This," she said, as she fired a String Shot down between her middle region, right below her second pair of legs. She had aimed right at a very small slit, no larger than the size of one of Zester's digits.

(Author's Note: Rather than get technical about the reproductive organs of insects and turn readers off, I am just going to take a literary liberty and assume that Caterpie's genitalia are located near the bottom of their second pair of legs, and everything past that is what would be considered a "tail." I am also going to assume that Pokemon's sexual organs are general and compatible with any Pokemon, at least for the sake of this lemon. HSOWA.)

"You see, uh, females have those, while..." A brief pause. Leave it, Zester? Go for it? Aww hell, go for it, he thought to himself. "While males like myself have these," he reached down to his sheath, who's pink occupant was aroused enough to peek out from it.

She got up, and inched herself closer to Zester to examine his 'parts.' "It looks kind of weird," she said with interest.

"Yep, well, it's what I've got."

Now his excitement was really starting to build, as evident by his pinkish member slowly making its way out of its sheath.

"May, umm, well, maybe I have a better look at yours?" he begged, "I actually haven't really ever gotten to see a female's parts close up before..."

"Sure!" she exclaimed, as she once again rolled onto her back.

Zester took a step forward and investigated her small slit. It looked quite different from what he had thought he'd seen in the past. It looked just like a small slit carved right into her, with a slight nub closer to her legs. Getting carried away and forgetting to ask, he slid one of his fingers across her sensitive girlhood.

She gave a quick shudder to his sudden and unexpected action.

"Oh! I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I just, well, I just wanted to-" he said apologetically.

"No, it... it actually felt kind of nice! It just took me by surprise," reassured Lina. "Could you actually... could you touch it again? I can't really reach down there," she asked as she comically wiggled her stubby legs.

Zester was quick to comply, and began gently sliding his finger across her slit. Lina made a excited cooing sound as she was pleasured by his gentle touch. She had never felt any form of pleasure from down there, as her body wasn't exactly accommodating to being able to explore herself. The new feelings coursing through her body excited her. It was different, but in a good way.

The more Zester ran his small digits about the entrance to her girlhood, the more she enjoyed it. Every stroke sent shivers of delight through her body.

Getting daring, the young Pikachu slid one of his fingers inside of her small opening. His 'Chu digits were not very large, so he didn't get too far inside of her cunt, but he managed to get in far enough to feel around a bit, intently swishing his fingers around.

It felt rather different from what he imagined it'd be like. It felt warm, and somewhat squishy, for a lack of a better word. Much different from the rest of her body. It also felt wet, although the substance moistening his fingers seemed to be something other than urine.

Zester removed his now-wet finger from Lina's insides, and gave a quick sniff to it in an attempt to identify the curious liquid. Lina looked up to Zester with a somewhat disappointed glare as he continued to sniff. She started to miss the sensation down below. But, Zester's lessons had barely begun.

He ran his tongue across his paw to have a taste of Lina's juices. Hmmmmm, interesting. Surprisingly sweet, yet somewhat tangy, he thought to himself. Lina's diet of berries undoubtedly helped contribute to her sweet taste. And how somewhat unusual as it seemed to Zester, he found it to be incredibly addictive. Something about her taste, and her scent... it made him crave more.

"May I try something?" Zester asked politely.

"Okay!" answered Lina, curious to see what else Zester would try.

Eager to sate his sexual appetite, he lowered his head to her meet mounds, and proceeded to dip his tongue between them, lapping at her inner flesh. This really got him excited. He'd seen a few Pokemon do this to their partners, but never even imagined that the taste would be so exotic.

And Zester wasn't the only one excited about this, oh, no. Lina was going crazy at the erotic sensations coursing through her body. She was wriggling about wildly, deep in the passion of getting eaten out by her newfound friend.

Squeals of delight filled the air as Zester dug deeper with his tongue, digging his face as close to her body as he could, quite literally pressing it against her. His small nose rubbed against her sensitive clitoris, causing her to twitch with every brush across it. Exploring her deep regions was enjoyable, and the taste only got better as more and more juices began to flow around her pulsing walls.

It was hardly noticeable that Zester was a novice. To Lina, it seemed as if he knew exactly what he was doing, even though he really didn't have a clue and was just doing the best he could, anxious to test out what he's seen and always hoped to try.

"Z-z-zest... Zester... I- ahhh! I fee-eeel...!"

It started. The walls around Zester's tongue began to squeeze and clench; her body rustled and convulsed wildy. The Pikachu refused to let up, and kept at his oral treatment without relent. He had a pretty good idea about what was going on, but wasn't quite sure where or how it was going to come out.

And with a piercing cry of ecstasy, Lina's orgasm hit, sending a gush of hot girl juices into the eager mouth - as well as all over the face - of Zester, who lapped up all he could catch with his tongue, pleasurably enjoying the sweet taste. After several more pulses, Lina's orgasm came to a close.

The now-soaked Caterpie panted heavily as she recovered from her first orgasm. "Well, I hope you enjoyed your first taste of mating, because," Zester licked his lips and smiled, "I sure did!"

"Ah... ah... that was... great...!" panted Lina.

"And that's just the warm-up," said Zester, "I think it's supposed to feel even better when you actually mate."

"That... that wasn't mating?"

"Uh, no, not really. I mean, kinda, but, well..."

"Wait, I thought you said you knew about this?"

"Just from... well, just from watching! I've seen some Pokemon do what I just did to you, so I, well, I wanted to try it... but I haven't really done it before."

"Well it felt great! How can it get better than that?"

If there were ever a chance for Zester to experiment with mating, it was now. Although Lina was young, inexperienced, and a bit clueless, it was easy to tell that she thoroughly enjoyed herself just a few minutes ago, and she also had a lot of trust in and affection towards Zester.

"I can... um, I, I can show you if you... if, well, you know, if you want..."

Zester's confidence started to take a hit. His nervousness became apparent as well. When he went out to pick berries, he certainly didn't think an encounter like this would happen, and certainly not with a Caterpie. But this Caterpie was probably the sweetest, kindest, most innocent Pokemon he'd ever met.

Could he really use her to explore his own curiosities about mating, though? Would that be too wrong? Taking advantage of the sacred act of mating... His father took advantage of that act. He mated Zester's mother and left afterward, never to return. He didn't love her. He didn't care. What if Zester's father just wanted to feel what it felt like, like he himself did right now?

As eager as he was to experience the feeling of mating, he had to know two things first. The first was if he loved her. Love, affection, the feeling of complete when around the one you love. Do I feel this way about Lina, he asked himself in his mind. He had only met her today, but she had already become his closest friend. She was so sweet. She looked up to him and admired him. She made him feel happy when she was around. He adored her. He enjoyed her company. Although she seemed a bit annoying and persistent at first, he quickly started growing more and more attached to her. Ever since that first kiss... that first, awkward, but sincere kiss.

"Could you... could you show me? Please?" begged Lina, pulling Zester away from his rush of thoughts and back to reality. Lina had gotten up, and was now staring anxiously at the yellow mouse Pokemon.

"Lina... there's, well, there's something I need to know first."

"Mmmm? What is it?" she answered, tilting her head to the left.

"Do you... love me?" he asked.

Lina hastily responded with an excited "Yes!" She leapt joyfully into the air while doing so.

"I mean it, really, do you really love me?" Zester's tone became a lot more serious. He didn't want a half-through response to his question. He had to know for sure.

"I do, Zest! I never want to spend another day without you... I may be young and I guess new at these things, but you didn't just save me from the Rattata back there, you stuck around and became my friend. You actually cared about a little Caterpie like me... I've always dreamed of becoming a Butterfree so that other Pokemon wouldn't think of me as weak and useless like I always thought I am. But you were there for me, and you make me feel stronger than a Charizard. I love you, Zester..."

"I love you, too, Lina..."

With that, Lina sprung forward and tackled Zester to the ground - as she's gotten familiar with doing by now - and proceeded to lovingly kiss her friend passionately. With her on top of him, her wriggling body was rubbing against his member - which was now fully erect. The moistness of her recent experience was starting to run across his furry little body.

"Alright, I'm not going to do like my father did... I'm not going to leave you, Lina," he reassured. "Are you ready?"

"Yes, I am! Please show me!"

"Okay, mating - or sex, as it's sometimes called - is when a male and a female join their parts together. For instance, rather than sticking my tongue in your, uh, vagina, I would put in my penis instead."

"What are those?" asked Lina, uneducated to the names of genitalia.

"You know, our parts."

"Oh, right. Will it fit inside? It looked a little bigger than your tongue..."

"It should... I hope..."

"Well, let's try it, already!" She was almost as anxious and excited to mate as Zester was.

And with that, Zester held Lina close to his body and wrapped his legs around her body. Her shape made it a little awkward, with her very short and stubby legs, but it did make it easy to hold her. He then started to rub his pink meat around, searching for her entrance. The rubbing of their bodies felt great, but they craved the real deal.

They continued to rub their bodies together until Zester finally found that special spot of hers. She was so tight, though, that it took a lot of force to get himself inside of her, but he finally managed. As he did so, a sharp, stinging pain surged through Lina's body, causing her to cry out in agony.

"Lina, are you alright!?" Zester immediately withdrew to examine her, rolling over so she was laying down. Whatever he hit must have really hurt, because Lina loosed quite a painful-sounding screech. He really worried that he pushed to hard, or broke something of hers.

"I'm- ah... I-I'm okay."

Zester gave her a loving kiss, and then examined her lower region to see a trickle of blood pouring out of her. Oh no...

"You're bleeding!"

"Uhn, Zest... I- please... I-I'm better now. Please, don't stop."

"But-!"

"No, please, I'll be alright!" She was starting to feel better, although there was still a lot of pain down there. But she didn't want this to ruin it, and she felt capable of continuing. "If it hurts any worse, I'll tell you, and we can stop... but please, keep going."

And with that, Zester climbed up on top of her, paying better attention to where to insert himself into, and with a few less thrusts than last time, he found his way back inside of her. He met a lot less resistance, though, and now managed to get more than just the tip of his head inside.

A light sting of pain resurfaced as he slid himself inside of her, but along with it came a highly pleasurable sensation similar to what she felt when she was being licked by his tongue, except stronger. The size of his maleness was larger and thicker than his tongue was.

After a few more slow, cautious thrusts, Zester decided to get bold, and pushed as much of himself as he could into Lina. He managed, and succeeded in completely encompassing himself inside of Lina's warm body. It felt great. Amazing. The feeling of her tight walls gripping his meat tightly, squeezing and tugging at it... it stopped Zester's breath for a second or two.

"Mmmmmmm... Lina... this feels great...!" moaned Zester.

"Uhn, oh, Zest-er... I love you..."

"I love you, too," he said as he raised himself up a few inches, only to come back down, giving another jab into her depths.

Zester began to pick up his pace a bit more, no longer going quite as slow as he was, now certain that the pain Lina felt had long since passed and was not likely to return. His repeated humping and thrusting elicited moans of joy from the Caterpie beneath him. He found the pleasure to coax him into closing his eyes out of glee, giving a light squint out from them every few seconds to remind himself that this wasn't a dream.

A few shots of pre started to leak from the tip of Zester's member as Lina's walls continued to pulse and milk his maleness for its seed. There was now hardly any friction or resistance thanks to both parties increased lubrication, and each thrust into Lina's wet girlhood seemed to just glide right inside of her now without any trouble or pain.

A couple of dozen shots and countless moans and cries later, the pleasure began to reach critical mass. Zester was the first to feel close to climax - dangerously close. "A-ah...! Lina, I'm- I'm a-about t-tooo-oooo...!" He clenched his face and slowed down his pace in an attempt to buy Lina a little more time.

Fortunately for Zester, though, Lina was pretty close herself. She remembered this feeling of being near-climax from before, but it was far more intense this time around. "Okay Z-zes-ester, l-let's do it, mmmnn!"

Thoughts of her life and Zester began to flash through her mind. Her parents, two beautiful Butterfrees. Her siblings, that were eaten by a hungry Pidgey. The many Trainers and Pokemon that beat her up for sport. The Rattata that almost had her as a snack. Zester saving her and reassuring her. Her kissing him and then following him around. Their conversations together. Them talking about Zester's family, how his father mated Zester's mother and left. The times they shared. The things he taught her. His smile. His cheeks. The pleasure he was giving her right now. And, most of all, the love they shared for each other.

That was it. It was enough to bring her over the edge, even before her partner. "Zes-terrrrrrr!!" she cried out. Her walls contracted wildly around Zester's member, giving it a tight squeeze, sending him over the edge as well. "A-ahhhh-hhhhh! L-iiiiin-aaaaaaahh!!!"

And like clockwork, the two hit the full extent of their orgasm at near the same time. Zester took one deep, final thrust into Lina before shooting his seed into her depths as Lina's creamy juices gushed out all over their lower regions. The tight clenching of her insides assisted in milking his member dry of the numerous pulsing waves of semen shot into her, headed straight towards her womb with the hopes of creating a new life.

That was it. The best feeling the two Pokemon had ever felt. Ever. It brought them together and made them feel whole. Like they were meant to do this, and with each other.

"That was... amazing..." panted Lina.

"Uhn... yeah... that was way better than... just watching!" They both laughed, and quickly faded off into a peaceful slumber in each others arms... or more rather company, since Lina lacked sizable arms.

***

A few hours later, as the sun was starting to set and the sky took on a reddish hue, Zester started to regain consciousness, finding himself resting peacefully right next to Lina, who was now curled up in a ball.

With a large yawn and a stretch of his arms, the Pikachu gets up and opens his groggy eyes a bit more. The sunset made him think. There was something that he was supposed to be doing. A reason he was out. Now what was that, again? ... "...oh no! Mom's gonna kill me!" he exclaimed, waking Lina up.

"Mmm, what's that, Zest?"

"Uh, well, the whole reason I went out was to get some berries to bring home! My mom's probably starving to death right now, and it's all my fault!" He hit himself on the forehead, and then checked his sack to make sure there were still berries in there. All he found was a few colored stains on the inside of his pouch, and some empty skin of the few surviving berries he had saved from earlier.

Lina didn't really know what to say, so she just kept quiet, and nuzzled against him.

"I guess... well, she'll probably kill me more if I'm out after dark... so I guess we'll just go back empty-handed and hungry."

"It'll be fine I'm sure, don't worry!" reassured Lina with a smile.

"Yeah, it will." He smiled back, pecked her on the cheek, and then walked with her into the sunset, ready to face whatever may be in store for them.

Fin

(Author's Note: Rather than drag things out and go into what happens at Zester's house and their future together, I'll just leave that up to your imagination, and let the story rest. I like leaving things open-ended.)
