Episode 05: Court Date
Author Note: At first, I had trouble deciding a name for this episode, until I got near the end. Tomorrow I have a court date, defending myself from an unjust traffic ticket. As such, I find it ironic, and somewhat humorous that this title is actually fitting of the story. I guess, laughter might help me get through this nerve racking time, eh?
Forgotten Instincts
Episode 05
"Court Date"
By Darfix
It is now mid-afternoon, and Darfix is lying closely to Destiny with one of his forelegs wrapped partly around her, as he licks at her wounded shoulders affectionately. "Howâ�"did this happen?" he asks, between licks. "Ohâ�"some Murkrow were finding that you looked quite delicious, and I fought them to get them awayâ�"nothing major..." she replies to him.
Darfix shakes his head a little, "â�"I am forced to disagree... It is you who I find delicious..." he jokes, as he continues to softly lick her shoulders. "...I appreciate you looking out for me," he adds, now being more serious, "Besides; you saved me...now it's my turn..."
Destiny giggles slightly at his comment about her being delicious. She then shakes her head, "Your turn? Haven't youâ�"saved me before?" she asks, knowing he HAD to remember that day he was her knight in shining armor!
Darfix nods, "Yes, yes I didâ�"but its not a matter of how many times we save each other, it's a matter that we DO save each other, when the other is in needâ�"am I correct?" he asks, smiling at her while licking her wounded shoulders.
Destiny sighs softly, nodding in agreement, "Sorry, Iâ�"didn't mean it that way..." she replies. "I just, well, I feel you have the shorter end of the stick in this relationship..." she adds.
Darfix expresses a curious look on his features, as he gently licks her shoulders, "Really? How so?" he asks again between licks.
Destiny laughs quickly, "â�"how so?" she asks, frowning, "Darfix...you saved me from that Grimer, and I was nothing but cautious of you...I even had you sleep a distance away from me!" she tells him...confused as to how he didn't see what she saw!
Darfix chuckles a little bit, still not straying from his licking, however, "Well, I wouldn't expect anything else from a cute little sweet heart who had just been wronged by a heartless male..." he replies, "...I would have feared me too, if I were you..."
Destiny only shakes her head in reply, while laughing in a confused, yet impressed manner, "â�"ever since we met, you have been nothing but sweet to me. You put me first, others second and you third..." she speaks softly, "I thoughtâ�"at first, you would only manage to keep this up for a few weeks before you came for a payment of some kind...but it has been several months, and you are still as sweet, and kind hearted as the day I met you! Why is that?" she asks, wanting answers now! How was it that he could be the exact opposite of what she assumed all males were like?
There is a momentary pause from both. Destiny awaits Darfix's reply, and Darfix seemingly ponders on a reply. Finally, he stops his licking, and presses his wet nose to her cheek, which causes her to turn, and look into his eyes. He smiles, "â�"well, ever since the day...I witnessed my father turn his back on my mother...I have never been very forgiving of my own sex, nor, have I been willing to see the opposite sex in peril," he says, finally now, telling her his past! "She gave her life, for mineâ�"where my father ran, to preserve his life at the cost of my mother's. I will NEVER forget that day, and I willâ�"never forgive my father...assuming I ever find him..." he says, closing his eyes, baring his teeth, and growling softly.
Destiny's eyes widen a bit at his brief, but gripping story. She had no idea! He always seemed way too strong to have had such an unforgiving past.
Darfix jolts a little, and ends his growling, when he feels Destiny's soft, warm fur contact with his own. He opens his eyes, and looks at her, she was cuddling her upper head under his chin, and gently nestling his neck. Was thisâ�"her way of apology?
"...I am sorry, Darfix...I had no idea..." she says softly, moving her body forward a little, her chest touching his, as her head still lay submissive to his own. Gently, Darfix moves one of his forepaws to her back, pulling her only a little closer, but to hold her in comfort more than anything.
"Listen...you have nothing to apologize for...understand?" he asks, licking one of her ears in a manner beyond affection, "It was long agoâ�"and Iâ�"have vowed never to do anything so self-centered to anyone...ever. What that Mightyena did was an atrocity in my eyesâ�"and, I hope to make him pay...some day..." he tells her.
Destiny gasps, and looks into his semi-moistened eyes, with her own glistening eyes. "Butâ�"there is no way you would stand a chance against a Mightyena now! Nowâ�"that you're an Eevee!" she exclaims, now seeing that his sacrifice was MUCH deeper than what she originally thought it was! If he had plans to fight his father before he changed to an Umbreonâ�"he had just altered his ENTIRE life for her! How could she repay THAT kind of debt?!
Darfix takes a deep breath, and swallows hardâ�"nodding, "...I am aware of my decrease in strength, Destiny...and I was aware of it when I made the decision to become an Eevee..." he says softly, and partly mono-toned.
Destiny stills finds this to be a bit much to swallow, "Darfixâ�"that kind of sacrifice you made for me...that is something a MATE would do for his or her own mate! We'reâ�"companions at best, andâ�"you did this for me..." she explains, hoping he understood why she was so riled up!
Darfix only shrugs at her words, but then nods, "Well, mates were are notâ�"but that doesn't mean I have no right to make the closest thing to a mate in my life, know that I am here for herâ�"no matter what..." he says softly, looking up at the sunset. "â�"and, who knowsâ�"maybe one day..." he says, though sounding as though he hadn't finished his sentence.
After another short period of silence, Destiny giggles, and suddenly pounces her Eevee onto his back! Darfix seems more surprised he didn't catch her before she acted, than surprised at the fact thatâ�"she just pounced him! He laughs a little, sounding slightly winded, "...Destiny?" he asks her whilst looking up into her beautiful emerald eyes.
She giggles some more, and gently runs her tongue up his furry chest, and all the way to his nose, so she once again was looking him in the eyes. "...when we first metâ�"I had a good feeling about you, Darfix...despite how I may have acted..." she admits, "â�"and as the days went on, that good feeling grew into more. Now, I find myself almost completely trusting you...like, I have known you my whole life," she adds, turning from serious, to almost mischievous.
A smirk forms on her maw, as she gently paws at his now semi-moist chest fur. "â�"and now, we are on equal pawing, in size and strength...except I breathe fire," she giggles, perhaps joking a little bit, "But the fact is, if you wanted to force yourself on me, you would have done it long ago, when you were still an Umbreonâ�"if you wanted to gain my trust, and grab a piece of tail, only to run the next dayâ�"you wouldn't have changed into an Eevee for meâ�"and if you wanted my loving touch..." she pauses with an affectionate smile, "...you've done all of the right things..."
Darfix can hardly find the proper way to reply, or express his feelings to all she had said and done, right there while on top of him! "Destinyâ�"I!" he starts, but she quickly smiles and presses her muzzle to his gently, planting a gentle kiss on him. It only lasts a few seconds, but when it is over, Darfix remains back-bound still, eyes closed, and in complete pleasure!
"Wowâ�"Destiny, I alwaysâ�"thought I'd be the firstâ�"to kiss you..." he says, weakly. He now was putty in her paws...the pawn of her army... "Iâ�"didn't have a clue that Iâ�"had made this much of an impact on you..." he adds, swallowing hard, "...youâ�"truly care about me..."
Destiny giggles, and lies down over him, curling her tails around his own, as well as his hind legs...her head lying right down on the top of his chest, "That's one word for it..." she says in an almost seductive manner, "â�"but we can discuss it more in the morning...my courting partner..." she says softly, not giving him a chance to reply, before licking his neck a little, causing him to murr in appreciation... Moments later, the tired couple find themselves sleeping in each other's paws...
