Chapter 9
Kenta sighed as he held River in his arms, her arms draped weakly around his neck as she slowly regained her composure.
"Essssp" she sighed happily squeezing Kenta close
Kenta smiled "Love you Ri." he said softly squeezing her back
"Love you too" River replied dreamily
Kenta smiled "Looks like we need and after bath bath" he laughed
River blushed "Probably" she said
They stood still for a moment before Kenta spoke up "You know you do need to let go of me if we're going to clean up."
River blushed and unwrapped Kenta from her arms giving a small disappointed sigh as they separated. They walked apart and slowly began washing themselves River giving the occasional murr as she flattened out the fur on her inner thighs, making sure it wouldn't matt and that it was perfectly clean.
Kenta smiled as he finished cleaning himself off; wading to the side of the river he pulled himself out and lay back on the grassy bank to dry off. His eyes were drawn to River who was still washing herself; Kenta gave a small contented sigh watching River with a faint blush on his cheeks as the cool wind blew gently across his body.
River, finally happy that she was as clean as she was going to get, waded out towards Kenta deciding that she would join him on the bank of the river.
Kenta smiled and gave a small wave to River as she made her slow progress forward, her already awkward steps worsened by the current and uneven river bed, River smiled and waved back muttering curses to Arceus under her breath.
Kenta laughed when he picked up her angry mutterings, of course all he heard was essp essp eon but he knew River well enough to guess what she was saying, he continued to watch as she continued forward more and more of her body emerging from the water the soaking fur was dripping droplets of water that ran in small rivulets down her body to rejoin the river they had been taken from.
Finally five minutes, and much cursing, later River flopped down on the bank next to Kenta a small pleased moan escaping as she took her weight off her rear paws.
Kenta smiled and gently rubbed her cheek "Think you're clean now?" he laughed
River smirked, "Why don't you tell me?" she replied
Kenta blushed slightly running his eyes over her body, trying not to linger on her breasts or mound as he did so, "Yeah, I'd say your clean." He said happily scratching her stomach
River smiled "Good!" she leaned backwards, resting her head on her hands as she gazed at the sky.
Kenta mirrored her pose, looking up at the amber hued sky "Isn't it beautiful." He said softly
River nodded and gave a small yawn "I think I could use some sleep" she brought one of her hands round and rubbed her eye
Kenta nodded "I wouldn't mind some sleep either."
River scooted over and wrapped her arms around Kenta's stomach. Closing her eyes she tried to relax only to hear Kenta's stomach rumble loudly. Her head shot up and they looked at one another for a second before bursting out laughing "I guess we should have some food first." Kenta smiled
River nodded "I agree, I doubt I could sleep through your stomach's grumblings." She laughed
Kenta nodded "Yeah probably not." He smiled "I'll get the campfire going, can you rustle us up some fish?" getting up, pulling a few branches from the surrounding foliage and placing them in a rough pile as he talked.
River pouted "But I don't want to get wet again!"
Kenta laughed and walked back to River running his hands through the fur on her lower chest "Again?" he grinned "You're still wet from last time so a little more won't hurt."
River giggles poking her wet fur "Hmm so I am" she says mischievously, she quickly rolled over and ran over to Kenta's clothes and picked his t-shirt up in her mouth before flopping back onto the ground. She began to towel herself off with Kenta's t-shirt sticking her tongue out at him and giggling the whole time.
Finally dried off she dropped his t-shirt back on the ground "There now I would have to get wet again!" she giggled
Kenta sighed walking past River and scooping up his clothes "You know Ri, I'm getting the distinct impression you don't feel like fish tonight"
River giggled and gave a short gasp "However did you guess?" she laughed trotting over to the unlit fire before settling down
Kenta laughed and shook his head, fishing the flint and steel from his trouser pocket "Call it a hunch" he said as he quickly lit the fire.
"So what else is there?" River asked her eyes glinting as they reflected the flickering light of the fire
"Hmm" Kenta thought as he lay out his clothes near the fire using small rocks to weigh them down "I think we've got some more microwavable stuff, I know there's some hamburgers and maybe.." Kenta laughed as he saw River's face light up "Hamburgers?" he asked
"Hamburgers!" River agreed nodding her head
Kenta gives a short nod digging into his bag for the burgers, "Ah here we are" he exclaimed triumphantly pulling the pack out of his bag.
River laughed and gave a sarcastic applause "All hail Kenta the burger finding king!"
Kenta smiled "Guess who's not getting any?"
"You!" River and Kenta both yelled, there was a pause then "No! You!"
They both laughed as Kenta pulled out four burgers, placing them on the saucepan and carefully balancing it on a rough tripod.
"Should be done in a few minutes" Kenta said
River nodded and scooted round the fire until she was sitting next to Kenta. Kenta smiled when he noticed River, his hand reaching out to gently rub her head.
Kenta was sitting rubbing River's head gazing into space as River gently cooed leaning her head into the rubs. The enticing smell from the burgers snapped them out of their trance; Kenta retracted his hand blushing slightly his attention shifting to the saucepan. River gave a small disappointed sigh when Kenta pulled his hand away but a happy "Essp" when two burgers where placed in front of her.
Kenta leant down giving River a quick kiss, running his tongue once along her lips, before standing up again blushing "Enjoy" he said as he sat next to her eating his own portion.
The burgers quickly disappeared River yawning heavily as she placed her plate next to Kenta's bag "I'll just get our sleeping bag out" Kenta yawned
River shook her head lying down on the ground and patting the floor next to her "Why bother? Just come and curl up with me" she said
Kenta blushed and left the bag walking over to river and laying down next to her, the flickering light of the fire sending shadows skittering over their forms as they lay together. They lay gazing into each other's eyes for a while, River's muzzle inches from Kenta's face; River was the first one to move her muzzle sliding forward toward Kenta , Kenta blushed when he noticed the movement his own face moving to meet hers. Their lips finally met their tongues entwining as they wrapped their arms around each other pulling their bodies closer together. They broke the kiss slowly both reluctant to break the kiss "Night" Kenta whispered quietly squeezing River gently and closing his eyes
"Essp" River said softly as she too closed her eyes drifting off to sleep in Kenta's arms.
"Essssp" she sighed happily squeezing Kenta close
Kenta smiled "Love you Ri." he said softly squeezing her back
"Love you too" River replied dreamily
Kenta smiled "Looks like we need and after bath bath" he laughed
River blushed "Probably" she said
