The sun was at its highest point in the sky when Akio left his mistress's house and set off across the surrounding field. He raised his nose and took a long, wonderful sniff of the air. For an Espeon, early afternoon was the best time of the day. He made a short hop and began running through the grass, towards the greenhouse that his mistress, owner of a plant nursery, maintained. His bifurcated tail trailed behind him, whipping the air as he ran. Akio felt full of energy when he arrived at the greenhouse. He nosed the door open and made his way inside. The scent of what he was looking for slowly came to him, although it was nearly drowned out by the smell of all the different flowers and plants growing in the glass structure.

Akio crept among the plants, keeping low to the ground. His prey was nearby, and it wouldn't do for it to notice his presence before he'd had his fun. Slowly the scent grew stronger...Soon, now. There! The smell was strong enough for him to gauge directionality. He slinked between two Oran saplings, following the trail. He drew his lips back in a toothy, cat-like grin as he spotted it. His prey was oblivious to his presence. Legs bunched beneath him, he readied himself to pounce.

Meiling had left her mistress early in the day, right when the sun had risen. The sprightly, lithesome Leafeon loved to leap about in the fields during the early morning, soaking up the sunlight, before retiring to the greenhouse for the afternoon. Today had been no different, and she was now lounging among the young berry trees, growing drowsy amid the sunbeams filtering down through the leaves. Her leafy ears and tail ate up the light as though it were a sweet treat.

She sighed, and it turned into a huge yawn. Her jaw popped, startling her alert with the sudden noise. She sat up and reached out with her front paws, stretching her back. Perhaps she should return to her mistress, but then again, the gardener would be in the greenhouse in another three hours anyway...she might as well stay where she was. Meiling gave a small hiss of laughter. What would mistress say if she knew what a lazy pokémon she had raised?

Something caused her ears to perk up. Meiling felt like something, or someone, was watching her. Guiltily, she wondered if her mistress had come to admonish her again for wasting time in the greenhouse. She turned around, just in time to catch a purple ball of fur right in her face as her friend Akio launched himself at her.

"Aki!" she yelled, as they rolled on the ground. "If I've told you once, I've told you a hundred times: don't sneak up on me like that!" They wrestled with each other, each trying to gain the upper hand. It was a nearly daily ritual. Akio, two months Meiling's junior and a good deal smaller than her, always did this. Even though it was a fruitless cause, as Meiling was much stronger than he, the Espeon never gave up someday winning one of their little fights.

"You're just mad because I got you again, Mei-Mei!" Akio grunted as she cuffed his face. Meiling's eyes blazed and she clamped her teeth down on his left ear.

"I...told...you...," she growled, her mouth full of ear. "Never...call...me...that!" Akio howled and frantically began trying to pull himself free. He already sported a notch in one ear from a previous encounter, and wasn't eager to repeat the experience. Fortunately Meiling let him go, pushing him firmly on the chest and sending him tumbling into one of the large potted saplings. Akio smacked his head on the pot as he came to rest.

"Ow!" he yelped. "Mei, that really hurt!"

Meiling rolled her eyes. "You dummy," she said. "You started it." She strode over to where he lay. His head looked fine, but her tooth marks were evident in his ear. Akio swiped a paw at his ear, wincing in pain.

"You didn't have to bite that hard," the Espeon complained.

"Oh, stop whining," Meiling said. "I'll take care of it. Lean your head down, Aki." He did as she told him, and she started licking his ear, cleaning the little holes her teeth had made. Her tongue soothed his ear, and he felt the pain drain away after a few minutes of treatment.

"That's better," Akio said. He trotted off to the more mature berry trees, the ones that were bearing fruit. Meiling shook her head and followed him. He walked through the trees, looking for the one he wanted. After a short search, he found a Pecha tree that had many ripe, plump berries in its branches. He placed his front paws on the pliant trunk and began to shake it. Before long, several Pecha berries fell to the ground. Akio selected a tasty-looking fruit and tore into its flesh.

Meiling looked on uncomfortably. "Mistress won't be happy that you're eating her fruit," she warned.

"Oh, she won't miss one or two berries," Akio said. "Or are you afraid, Mei-Mei?"

The Leafeon puffed out her cheeks. "I'm not afraid of anything!" she declared. She bent down to one of the berries, hesitated, and then defiantly bit into it. Meiling squealed in delight as the sweet flavor of the fruit spread over her tongue. They quickly ate all of the berries Akio had managed to knock down. When nothing was left except stems and a few spots of juice on the earthy floor, the pair returned to the sunbeams to relax and digest their pilfered meal.

Despite Meiling's guilt over taking the berries that her mistress worked so hard to grow, she had to admit that Akio's carefree attitude was the reason that she enjoyed spending time with her friend. Granted, they had little choice in whether they spent time together, but it was a definite plus that he was fun to be around. They'd known each other for nearly ten years, now. Meiling's mistress had brought her to her home when she had been an Eevee cub barely a month old. A few months later, Akio had shown up on their doorstep, sick and starving. The gardener had taken him in and nursed him back to health, planning to release him back into the wild when he'd recovered, but by the time that had happened she'd gotten so used to having him around that she decided to let him stay instead.

Meiling and Akio had grown very close over the years they'd known one another. Although they fought on a near-constant basis, Meiling couldn't imagine being apart from Akio, and she knew he couldn't imagine being away from her, either. They'd both been Eevees when mistress had begun raising them, but curiously they had evolved into different forms. Mistress joked that because Akio was always getting into trouble with her, it was only natural that he should evolve the way he did, just to defy her. Meiling, the obedient one, had been destined to become a Leafeon, in keeping with her mistress's profession.

Akio rolled onto his back, allowing the sunlight to warm his belly. "This is the life, Mei," he said. "Good fruit to eat, a nice mistress, and a warm place to take a nap."

"You said it, Aki," Meiling agreed. She scratched her ears and curled up into a ball, crossing her front paws over her face.

Akio laughed when he saw her. "You look funny when you do that, Mei," he said.

Meiling peeked through her paws, a little mad at him. "Don't tease me!" she said.

"Not funny-stupid," Akio said. "Funny-cute."

Meiling looked at him. "Really?" she asked. "You think I'm cute?"

"Well, sure." Akio flipped back onto his stomach. "You've always been cute."

The leafy pokémon blinked. "You've never called me cute before," she said. Meiling felt a little flustered. She realized her face felt warm; she must be blushing.

Akio puffed his cheeks out in an admirable impersonation of Meiling. "Wow, you try to complement someone," he said.

"I didn't mean it like that," Meiling said, somewhat apologetically. She flipped her tail in the dirt for a moment. "You're...kind of cute, too." She felt awkward saying it. Her face grew warmer.

"You're just saying that because I said it," her friend said, with mock anger. "For that you shall be punished!" He sprang up with surprising speed and bowled Meiling over before she knew what had hit her. Once again, they rolled around on the greenhouse floor, laughing and trying to gain a hold on each other. Meiling allowed Akio to take control of the "fight", and she watched a goofy sort of grin spread over his face. He thought he was finally going to beat her.

She was willing to indulge his fantasy this time, but not for long. Just as Akio got into a position that would give him the opportunity to pin her to the ground, she leapt into action. As the grin on Akio's face turned to a look of shock, Meiling propelled him off of her. She went on the offensive. The Leafeon bore her greater size down on Akio, forcing him flat on his back. He wound up spread-eagled, with Meiling holding down his front legs with hers and pinning his back legs with her rear.

Akio tried to squirm, fruitlessly, for a few seconds before he realized that he was totally immobilized. "Okay, Mei, I give," he said, out of breath. "You're a better fighter than me."

Meiling growled triumphantly. "And don't you ever forget it." She kept her hold on Akio, looking down at him. He was completely winded. His tongue extended slightly as he panted, and his chest was rising and falling faster than normal. Meiling giggled. "You know, you look kind of 'funny-cute' right now."

Akio's face reddened underneath his fine, purple fur. "Hey, knock it off," he said. "Now you're just gloating."

Meiling giggled again, amused by the indignant tone in her friend's voice. Her laughter turned into a startled yip when she felt an odd sensation on her lower stomach. Curious, she looked down and got quite a surprise. The darkish-red tip of a growing erection extended from Akio's sheath, poking her belly. Bemused, Meiling looked back up at him.

"Someone's gotten a bit excited," she said.

Akio turned his head to the side, his faint red blush darkening to an impressive shade of crimson. "Sorry," he mumbled. "It's just because you're pressed up on me."

A smile slowly spread across Meiling's face. "Are you sure?" she coyly asked. She brought a paw up from pinning Akio's front legs and reached below her. Akio stiffened and gasped as she gently rubbed his erection with her paw. "Because I was just thinking that maybe we could do something with it." She teased his penis out a bit further. Akio's eyes glazed over as Meiling caressed him. "What do you say, Aki? Mistress won't be around for at least another hour. Plenty of time to have a little fun."

The corners of Akio's mouth nervously turned up. "I...I guess that would be okay," he said.

Meiling leaned forward and licked the tip of Akio's nose. She returned her attention to his member, backing up a little so she could sit on her haunches and use both of her front paws to stroke him. Akio's breathing steadily increased as his erection slid out to its full length. Meiling was enjoying the feel of his penis on her paws. It felt hard, and yet soft at the same time. She was having trouble describing it in her mind. But it looked like Akio was having as much fun as she was. She put her nose close to his penis and tentatively sniffed at it. The smell was strange, but not unpleasant. She thought she could detect the slightest hint of the berries that Akio routinely stole from the greenhouse. Meiling put her tongue out and took an experimental lick at the very end. Akio bucked and gave a small moaning noise. Apparently, she had discovered something that felt very, very good to him.

An idea coming to her, Meiling slowly opened her mouth and eased her lips over the head of Akio's cock. He tasted like what the sun felt like to her. She slid her muzzle down his length, gently massaging him with her tongue as she went. Akio shuddered and twitched in her mouth. His tail came up to wrap around her shoulders, and he gently pulled, coaxing her onward. Meiling started to move her mouth up and down his length. Moisture was beginning to collect between her legs, and small twinges of pleasure were beginning to come to her. She began gently sucking, and could sense a slight salt flavor as his precum began to emerge from his penis. Akio was barely breathing, and she glanced up to see his eyes rolled back in his head in ecstasy.

"Mei, if you keep doing that, I'm going to...," he gasped. Meiling paid him no mind. She was enjoying this way too much. She sped up her motions. Akio frantically tapped the back of her head with his tail, trying to tell her what he no longer had the breath to say out loud. Finally, he howled as his orgasm washed over him like a crashing wave. Meiling's eyes went wide with shock as she felt his cum shoot into her mouth. She swallowed repeatedly, trying to take it all in. There was a lot of it, however, and she was forced to pull her head back. The rest of it spilled out of her mouth as she coughed and spluttered, very nearly choking on her friend's seed.

"That...was more than I was expecting," Meiling managed.

"Sorry," Akio said, regaining his breath. "I tried to warn you."

"That's alright," Meiling assured him. She licked her lips, cleaning her muzzle of the remnants of his ejaculate. It tasted salty and slightly bitter. The flavor was rather nice, she thought, as good as the berries they'd shared earlier. Different, but just as good. "I think I know how you can make it up to me." She allowed herself to recline onto her back, ending up in an imitation of Akio's current position. Her legs fell apart, revealing her very aroused sex to him.

Her Espeon companion got up and moved close to her, sitting sphinx-style with his head between her legs. Meiling watched him smell her, his nose ticcing as he took in her scent. She could also smell herself, and she smelled the same odor that she had sensed on Akio. Her leafy tail slapped his neck, telling him without words that she was growing impatient. Heeding her request, Akio nuzzled her lips. Meiling felt pure delight begin to travel up her body from between her thighs. She put her head back and closed her eyes, reveling in the feel of it. Her lover began to probe her depths with his tongue. He was purring, and the vibrations carried into her body, providing her with extra stimulation. Akio found her pearl and concentrated on it, eventually closing his lips around it, which sent a shock of passion through Meiling. Her juices were flowing freely now, and Akio suckled at her clitoris, drinking her in. Through the haze caused by his divine treatment, she could feel her climax approaching. She slid away from Akio and got on her feet, the sensations fading away to a dull pleasure.

Akio looked disappointed. "Why did you do that?" he asked, flicking his tongue at the beads of moisture that still clung to his muzzle.

"Because I want it with you," Meiling said. Sensuously, seductively, she turned around, facing away from him. She lowered her shoulders towards the ground, so that her rear was in the air. She invitingly raised her tail, presenting herself to him. "Fill me up, Aki." Akio, slightly nervous but still eager to please his friend, reared up on his hind legs and wrapped his front paws around Meiling's haunches. His erection prodded her hindquarters, seeking its home. Finally, he found it. Meiling gave a slow, prolonged cry of lust as Akio slid into her to the hilt. He remained deep inside her for several long, agonizingly wonderful seconds before drawing partly out of her. She felt stretched, but not uncomfortably so. Rather, it felt to her like she had gained something that she hadn't known she was missing.

Akio began to thrust in her, slowly at first, but gradually speeding up as the pleasure began to build inside both of them. Meiling was enraptured by Akio's warmth inside of her. She could feel the walls of her vagina tightening and relaxing rhythmically, seemingly of their own accord, around his cock. As the sensations mounted inside of her, she started rocking back against him in time with his thrusts. Akio leaned forward, putting his weight on her back as he pounded into her.

"Mei...," he groaned. Meiling could tell that he was drawing close to his peak once more. She raised her head and looked back at him, and he nuzzled her face.

"Call me...Mei-Mei," she pleaded. There was a slight pause in Akio's movements as he processed what she had said, but he quickly returned to his lovemaking. Meiling's head fell back to the ground as he went even faster than before. She found that she no longer had the strength to move, and simply relaxed her body and allowed Akio to take charge completely. She could feel it. The pleasure leapt to unprecedented heights. Meiling tensed and gave a sharp, loud howl as her orgasm came.

"Mei-Mei!" Akio cried out, giving one last thrust into her. She felt his member pulse as he came, spurting his seed deep inside her. They rode the wave together until it came crashing down, and they collapsed onto the greenhouse floor.

They awoke with a start what must have been hours later. The sun was no longer shining directly through the glass of the greenhouse. Through the clear walls, they could see it setting, sinking slowly beneath the horizon. Together they watched it for a number of minutes before a realization came to them.

"Mistress!" Meiling said. "It's nearly sundown. She must have come and gone already!"

Akio yawned and nosed her shoulder. "Probably."

Meiling licked his face. Warm feelings of contentment lingered in her body. "Do you think she saw us?"

"Who cares?" Akio stood up and stretched. "Race you back to the house!" He bolted for the door, displaying more energy than he should have after their activities. "Come on, Mei-Mei!"

Meiling chased after him. "I'll get you for that, Aki!" she shouted, laughing as she ran to catch up with her friend.Chapter End Notes:Aww...cute, no? This one was a lot of fun to write. I hope you all enjoyed. It felt surprisingly natural to write from the female point of view. I like how it turned out.

And I particularly hope you enjoyed it, Shiguya!
