"Aaah... Oh, yes!" Hunter's life had definitely taken a turn for the better, since he first met Luz Noceda. It had been a hard road, it had taken a lot of soul-searching, close brushes with death and loss, but in the end... It had been worth it.
Now he had new friends. He could be himself. The tyrannical speciesist regime was gone. Nature was literally healing. And he had a very hot, loving, smart girlfriend who was also a kickass athlete.
"I-I'm going to...!" Life was good... But sometimes, still really demanding.
"Yes, Hunter! Do it!" Every single time, right before Willow was about to start training period leading up to another of her matches, she closed up the 'normal period' with... Well, a private celebration, just the two of them.
They had been having sex for the last few hours. She'd been riding him for the last thirty minutes. He was about... Spent. "Cum in me! Give me all you got!"
"Hngh… Ggggh…!" Still, as his last orgasm took away the last of his energy… "AAAAH!"
"YEEES!" Hunter wouldn't trade it for anything in the world… Also, Willow seemed to have thankfully had as much as she could get. Once she had ridden her own release, she bent forward, her toned athletic body pressing down on his, bare skin on bare skin and their sweat mixing together. "That… Was great… Ooooh, I love you so much…"
"Love… You… Too… OhTitan…" Hunter replied in-between ragged breaths, causing Willow to chuckle.
"Sorry, I might have gone a little overboard… But I won't be able to be intimate with my favourite co-captain for a month, now." She pouted, tracing her right index finger on his chest. Indeed, what came next wasn't just a usual match training period: Willow and her team were preparing for the finals, which meant three matches in four weeks… She needed all the focus and energy she could muster.
"I know… It's fine… You know I… Huff…" He groaned and finally summoned enough strength to hug the blue-haired witch, who snuggled her cheek against his naked chest. "…I should do some regular cardio again, I think."
"That's what I've been telling you… Hey, you got four weeks of no-Willow, now. You should've plenty of time." She teased.
"…when I can start feeling my legs again, maybe." With a potion a day, that'd be in two days.
-XXIV-
"Huff… That's the stuff." Exactly two and a half days afterwards, Hunter finally felt normal again… And by that, it meant that he didn't have random muscle cramps that made his mentor roll his eyes whenever they happened. Also meant he could actually work with Palistrom wood again, starting from the next day, instead of keeping the inventory in the storehouse. "…I really need to build some more endurance." Otherwise, he soon wouldn't be able to keep up with Willow.
He used to be more athletic than this… But he hadn't seen a reason to keep up his training after the fall of Bellos's regime and solving the situation with the Collector. The Boiling Isles had been at peace, and even for the random monster incidents, there were more than enough battle-ready Witches to go around still willing to guard the general populace.
A lot more had veered into a different career: archaeologists, historians, artisans, athletes… Hunter had chosen a career that would help him slow down, enjoy the slow passage of time and allow him to focus on all the small things that had been beneath his notice once. The breeze through the Palistrom trees, the sunset in the far distance setting behind the mountains, the warmth of the engraved wooden tea-cup in his hands…
"And so it was that Hunter achieved enlightenment." …the voice of a very annoying friend. "Thus he knew he was to share his sweets with the coolest of witches, if he ever laid eyes on her again on the path of life."
"…and hello to you as well, Luz." Hunter rolled his eyes, grabbing the plate with the chestnut-filled sweets from his lap, and moving it up and to his right.
"And she saw it was good!" A tanned hand snaked forward, snatching one of the sweets and making it disappear over his shoulder. "Hmmm, qué rico! They have something similar in Japan, you know?"
"Japan…?" Hunter repeated, confused. He turned to the right as the good witch Luz, child of the Human Realm, student of the Demon Realm and warrior of peace took a seat on his right on the same old log he had been using, with a half-eaten sweet in hand a big grin. "Is that a human place?"
"A country, actually! They call these dorayaki~" She answered before biting into the rest of the sweet, with an earnestness that if didn't dissipate Hunter's annoyance at her antics -which would defeat the purpose of her actually performing them- it certainly mellowed him out.
"…so, how have you been?" He asked. Luz's path to reclaiming her magic had been quite long and convoluted… She couldn't start studying magic again up until she finished human school, but when that had finally come to pass she had moved almost full-time to the Boiling Isles, and making great strides.
"Good! You know, despite the usual headaches." Although, it was clear that having to relearn magic from zero while having more knowledge about it than any other fellow student would be frustrating… but if there was someone who could bear with it with grace, while occasionally making an ass out of herself for good measure, it was Luz. "There's so much old stuff, but also so much new stuff… And sometimes I think I know, but then I won't and it's cool to learn new stuff but I also makes me wanna SCREAM!"
Hunter pulled back instinctively as Luz actually literally screamed, a crazed look on her face before she slumped forward, visibly crestfallen… The blonde Witch coughed in his fist, and patted her gently on the back, before rubbing it in circles. He had seen Luz's mom do it to her before, and it always seemed to soothe her…
"Hmmm… That feels nice~" She said, arching her back like a cat, her momentary frustration seemingly disappearing at his touch… Then she laughed sheepishly. "Hehehe, sorry. I ended up sort of venting."
"Hey, it's alright. We're friends… And believe me, if there's someone who can understands the frustration of wanting to do something without being able to, it's me." Hunter replied, giving her one last pat on the back before grabbing another chestnut pastry from the plate, a wry smile on his face. "You were there for some of it."
"That I was… But you turned okay, anyway." She grinned back, punching Hunter playfully in the right shoulder. "Found a new calling, new skills to master… Landed yourself a great catch of a girlfriend." She teased him, making him blush, but before he could retort Luz leaned towards his face, her expression suddenly… Serious. Not completely -this was Luz Noceda, after all- but more serious than it had been but a second before. "You know that Willow's great, right? Like, really really really great?"
"…uhm, yeah?" He answered, perplexed. He then chewed on and swallowed on the remainder of his pastry, holding Luz's serious gaze. "Of course I know, Willow is the best thing that's ever happened to me. She's smart, strong, funny…"
"And pretty, right? She's so very pretty!" Luz added, and Hunter's eyes widened as she grabbed at his shoulders. "Say it with me, Hunter! Say that she's pretty!" She demanded, shaking him by the shoulders.
'What is going on?!' "S-She's pre-re-re-tty! Ve-ry preee-ttySTOP SHAKING ME!" Before he could get brain damage or something, he grabbed at Luz's wrists and detached her hands from his shoulders. "What's the matter with you?!"
"Hmmm…" Now her eyes were narrowing, looking at him as if trying to stare into his soul… "If you like her and think she's pretty, then why…" She began, only to trail off, avoiding her eyes. Now that was very worrying, Luz not being able to look at him in the eyes? What was going on with her? Did something happen to Will- "Why did you do that stuff with Vee?"
…
'…what.' "What." He repeated, still holding onto her wrists… Not for long. She snapped her hands out of his grip, crossing her arms over her chest and staring him down despite her being shorter than him.
"When we had the celebration for the new Palismans. We started karaoke, you snuck away. At one point, I came to grab you to force you on stage for 'Bailamos'." Why specifically THAT ONE HUMAN SONG?! She knew he couldn't hitohthat'swhy. "And… Well…" She dropped her eyes to the forest floor for a split second… Then, she threw that gaze back his way once again, and at that moment she looked and felt very much like her mother, if not for a small blush. "I saw the two of you, Hunter."
…shit. 'Shitshitshit…!!!' He started blushing from the neck up to his ears as he realized exactly what Luz had seen him and Vee do. "L-Listen, it was not…" No, that was a lie. It had been exactly what it looked like. "You're missing context!"
"If you're talking about Vee feeling down about things back home, I already know." Luz shot back, eyes narrowing further.
"Not that! It's not… I mean, Willow…" Hunter palmed his face, wanting the forest floor to just swallow him up. He had to make a choice there, between giving Luz some extra private details about his relationship with Willow, or letting her believe he was a cheater… The first one would cause him no little amount of embarrassment and make things potentially very awkward between him and Luz.
…but the second one could potentially ruin their friendship forever. And make trouble for Willow, Vee, and a lot of other people. Without even thinking about what Gus would do to him.
There wasn't really a choice. "…Willow knows." He sighed. "And she knew back then, too. She was watching us." And now it was Luz's turn to be confused, her anger slowly dissipating…
"…she was what?" She let out, her voice incredulous.
"Whenever Willow is preparing for a match, we cannot have sex. She has a very high libido, and she cannot tire herself out or risk injury during those times." Hunter explained, hand uncovering a blushing Palisman carver… His human friend mirroring his redness as he kept explaining. "So, she, uhm… We'd never done something like this before then, she surprised me but… Well…" His ears felt like they were on fire, and he could no longer look at Luz in the face. "…it was Willow's idea." He really didn't feel to go into any further detail, but he felt that sentence should tell Luz everything she needed to know.
An eternity passed before either Witch made any noise or moved at all. In reality, it was about one minute, during which Hunter kept his gaze firmly on the forest floor between his legs. He spied with the corner of his eye Luz trying and failing to say anything, her mouth making some very weird shapes before closing again.
"…sooo… Uhm… I mean, wow." But she eventually found the energy to say something. "I… I had no idea you… I mean she… I mean, wow."
"Yeah, you said that…" Hunter muttered out.
"I did, didn’t I…? Well, uhm, everything's fine, then… I guess… No one's gotten hurt, and no one is getting hurt. I mean, I will… Probably double-check with Willow too, just in case…?" She stuttered out, slowly turning away from Hunter, her eyes looking anywhere but in his direction.
"…feel free." He groaned out, hands grasping at his hair. "…thanks for worrying, you're a good friend?"
"Yup. Luz Noceda. Good friend. That's me. Good friend who's accidentally peeped on two of her other good friends have sex AND THAT'S MY CUE TO LEAVE!" As if suddenly struck by lightning, Luz shot up to her feet and started robotically marching back the way she came, her body language incredibly stiff, almost like marching. "GOOD DAY SIR! HUNTER! SIR HUNTER! ADIÓS!"
'Great. I broke Luz.' Hunter thought to himself as he watched the human walk away from him, then holding onto the bridge of his nose once she was out of his point of view. "And the day was going so well…"
-XXIV-
"OhmygodohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygodOHMYGOD!!!" Luz muttered to herself under her breath, power-stepping through the trees. She didn't even know if she was going the right way, back towards the town proper, all she knew is that the direction was away from Hunter and the things she REALLY WISHED SHE DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT SOME OF HER BEST FRIENDS! "T.M.I.! T! M! FREAKING I! AAAAAAAAAH!" She covered her face with both hands as if trying to hide from the mental images of Hunter and Willow and Hunter and Vee and Willow watching Hunter and Vee- "WOAH-OW!!"
But this was, predictably, a bad idea. She very quickly stumbled over a broken branch and fell over, face first. "…ooooooooowie. I don't deserve this." She had just been worried about her friends! When she had first seen it, she thought she had had too much to drink. Then she had obsessed over it for the longest time! Alone! She hadn't even told Amity, she barely got some advice from her mother! And then she went to confront Hunter, and… And…?!
"Vee…?" Luz whispered under her breath as she saw a very familiar silhouette and outfit walking through her same forest path but in the completely opposite direction…
Towards Hunter.
-XXIV-
"Hey, stranger." Hunter's heart skipped a beat in surprise as someone suddenly hugged him from behind, barely keeping himself from cursing. He had been so deep in his thoughts that he didn't even notice Vee approaching until she was on him.
"Vee…" He muttered, turning his head to the side and receiving a faceful of basilisk, her left cheek rubbing against her right one. "You're back… Welcome back?"
"The one and only~ And thank you, I missed you." He flushed as she said that, very self-conscious because of what had happened but a couple minutes earlier… But as the shapeshifter opened her eyes, all he could see was mirth and cheerfulness. She actually was happy to see him. "How have you been?"
"…fine." He sighed, placing one of his hands over her own one. "I've been fine. Just… Some developments. You?"
"I've actually been doing better, not going to lie." It had been little more than a month since their 'close encounter' and since then, while they hadn't been intimate again, they had had a talk -all three of them- and Willow made it clear that, as long as it was during her down time and as long as Hunter himself was alright with it, Vee was free to… Come see him. "What kind of developments?"
"…Luz saw us." He confessed, deciding to just come out and say it. He could feel Vee shift, tensing up.
"…you mean… She saw us when…?" He didn't answer, but he could perceive a change in her body temperature. Embarrassment. Apprehension. "W-What did you tell her?"
"The truth. She believed me but she will confirm with Willow." He then squeezed her hand further, to reassure her. "And considering how embarrassed she was when she left, I'm one hundred percent sure she will not be telling anyone. Leave alone Camila."
"…aaaaah, thank the Titan." Vee groaned out, suddenly letting all of her weight fall on Hunter's back. "People really shouldn't do stuff in public, huh?"
"I'd say." The male Witch agreed with a chuckle as he tried not to be pushed forward and to the ground. "We did it once and got immediately found out."
"Yeah… Either that, or maybe I should turn into Willow when…?" She said and Hunter blinked at the statement, turning his head enough to look at her face. Amber eyes had become a very familiar shade of green.
"Oh… Nah, Vee, that's not necessary. And it's… I mean, wouldn't you rather be you?" Hunter asked and in reply, Vee 'hmmmed' very loudly in thought.
"That's… Not really how it works for me?" She explained, before climbing over the tree trunk and, with unsurprising flexibility, sat herself into Hunter's lap while keeping her arms wrapped around his neck. "I'm a Shapeshifter. There's not really one shape that I use that I see as 'me'. All of them are me."
"Oh… But what about, you know…?" Hunter asked, shifting a bit in his seat so that they could both be comfortable. He wrapped his right arm around Vee's back, while he motioned at her with his left hand. "This one?"
"This is the one I use the most, yes, but it's not 'me', it's mainly for convenience." She shrugged, and Hunter saw her skin colour shift to a paler hue as he talked, before going to a hot pink. "The main sense of humans and witches is sight. So, having something constant as a reference point for another person is important… But I don't feel it as a more real 'me' as any other shape I could take." She finished explaining, her body going back to her 'default' form, with long hair… And a teasing grin on her face. "So, if you want me to look like someone in particular while we make out, don't be shy."
"Eeehr…" Hunter went aflame again, avoiding his gaze and coughing in his right fist. "That… Won't be necessary, thanks."
"Oh, come on~ You must have some fantasies." She chuckled, teasing him further by nuzzling his neck, kissing gently at the spot she had learned could get him going very quickly. Why did she have to be a quick learner?! "I can literally make them all come true…"
"W-What's gotten into you?" He muttered out. They had seen each other a few times since that day, but Vee had seemed normal… Even meek, when mentioning the single occasion when they had been intimate. Now, instead, Vee seemed a lot more pro-active about it. Almost like…
…wait a moment. "…did Willow ask you to keep me company?"
"She might have~ But I was already planning to come visit again, it was just perfect timing." He palmed his face with his free left hand. "And yes, she might have put in my head the fact that… There are some things I can do for you she cannot. Like Shapeshifting."
"I… I don't need you to turn into anyone." He said, still refusing to look at her, and thus missing the devious snakey expression Vee had suddenly acquired. "I'm good with… Default Vee."
"I see… But you don't mind if I turn into whatever or whoever I want, either?" He opened his mouth to once again try and dissuade her, turning to finally look down at her in again but… She put it in a way that he couldn't really refuse her. At first, she had been offering to indulge him. Now she was saying she'd like to do it for herself…
"…just make yourself comfortable." He said, shrugging his shoulders like it was no big deal. Vee grinned more widely.
"Thank you~ With your permission, then…" She declared, before straightening herself and moving so that she was sitting in his lap while facing him, her legs one on each side of his body. He gulped, as that the effect of pressing her butt into his crotch. Her hands were still joined behind his neck…
Then, she started to shift.
He felt it before he saw it, as she seemed to be changing her body before she changed her looks. He felt Vee's legs become longer and slimmer, her butt tighter and with a different shape. Her hair shortened, and went from falling to the middle of her back to a very short crop… Next, her colors changed. Her skin went from dark pink to mocha, and her eyes from yellow to amber.
Other little details started shifting and moving and, as it happened, as Hunter slowly started realizing who Vee was morphing into, felt his eyes widening more and more, his blood pounding in two different places at once… Until, finally, she was done, wearing a lustful version of a very familiar grin.
"Hey, papi~" A master of disguise, even the voice had changed to completely imitate that of their mutual friend, although he was sure Luz had never sounded that sultry towards anyone, leave alone calling someone… Whatever that meant. Whatever it was, it sounded very lewd.
Either way, all he could do was gasp. Luz/Vee just cackled in amusement before pushing their lips together…
Much to the dismay of an unknown onlooker.
-XXIV-
'WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY DOING?!' Luz thought to herself, flabbergasted and absolutely flustered at the scenario she was spying from behind the treeline.
When she had seen the basilisk head towards Hunter, she had followed her back while staying out of sight, worrying about how Vee could take the revelation that she had seen... That. She could tell from their body language that Vee had been shocked and a bit worried, but Hunter had managed to calm her down. Good job, Hunter!
After that, the moment they had started getting frisky and teasy with each other, Luz should have skedaddled, but her damn curiosity had kept her stuck in place… And now, it was too late.
'She turned into me! Why did she turn into ME?! AND I DON'T TALK LIKE THAT! SHE KNOWS THAT! AaaandwoooooOOOOAH!' Luz 'eeked' under her breath, slapping her hands over her face -fingers splayed wide, though- as the romp became lewder by the second. There were hands, and grinding, and tongue -SO MUCH TONGUE!- and now clothes were coming off!
'No! Keep your clothes on, Vee! Me! HE?!' It was a surreal experience, seeing someone looking exactly like her -sans the piercings- although wearing different clothes making out with someone else… Especially since that someone else was not Amity, and it hadn't been Amity even in her fantasies for a long time! And yet, here she/they were, onAAAAND HUNTER'S SHIRT HAD COME OFF!
She needed to leave! She needed to leave before she saw something, ANYTHING else! Especially since Vee seemed, from what she could see now that HER shirt was off, to have copied her body PERFECTLY! How did she even know?! How did her Shapeshifting work, exactly?! She had never asked. Did she need to see someone naked to emulate them? Was she a good guesser? Or was it something deeper, concerning magicWHY WAS SHE STILL THERE?!
And why had they stopped kissing? Vee wearing her face and using her voice was whispering something in Hunter's ear. The blonde witch's eyes went wide, a hand scratching the back of his head as he muttered something inaudible. 'What's going on, now?' Luz asked herself, swallowing as she kept observing the going-ons…
Then, suddenly, Vee got off Hunter's lap, allowing Luz to look at a sizeable bulge now evident in his pants… 'Oooooh, god, are they…?' She followed her doppelganger with her eyes as she walked to the front of a nearby Palistrom tree…
Then started shimming out of her jeans and underwear. 'AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAwait, that's accurate? HOW IS IT SO ACCURATE DOWN THERE?!'
-XXIV-
"Are… Are you sure?"
"Yes, silly~" Indeed, there were things that Vee could do that Willow couldn't, or at least could do much more easily. One of which was turning into a copy of Luz Noceda, a transformation that -much to his shame- he hadn't been turned off from, which could be in part thanks to the exaggerated version of the human the shapeshifter was playing for him… "A little birdie told me you wanted to try and put it in mi trasero~ How could I refuse my good friend Hunter?"
"…I'm going to the Nether Realm for this." Hunter said, closing his eyes and looking to the sky, as if asking for forgiveness while luzVee cackled in amusement, even that sound very genuine is much exaggerated… Then, sighing, he resigned himself and accept that, while in a different way from Willow, he and Vee were just as lewd.
"Hmmm, papi~" Vee had not even hesitated in offering him to fuck her in the ass… Luz's ass. And, weak willed carver he was, he had barely hesitated in accepting. His pants opened at the front, his cock out, he grasped at Vee's mocha hips… "…ooooh, papi, si~"
"What does that even mean…" He muttered out but then groaned as his cock started slipping into Luz's -VEE'S!- rear hole. The going was tight, though, but when he had tried this with Willow, even after regular preparation, had gone much worse… Difference being that Willow had strong and developed muscles everywhere, and when they had tried it almost felt like his dick was getting ripped off.
"Don't worry about it~" Instead, the shapeshifter girl could mould her ass to his dick perfectly, even producing her own lubrication as he pushed in… "All you need to worry about… Is giving me that dick…!" Until it was almost all in. He groaned. "Give me that dick, papiiii~" She whined out, her hands against the palistrom tree as she leaned forward, her head turned to the side to show her pleading face…
Luz's pleading face.
Looking back at him. Biting her lower lip… Her eyes…
Telling him to fuck her.
…
"Ah, yes!" She moaned out as he started driving himself, grunting out as the tightness was still almost too much. "Oooh, Hunter, yes! Sisisisi!"
"Fuuuck…!" He panted, the clearing soon filling up with the sounds of their copulation as Vee's perfectly replicated buttocks slapped back against his torso every single time he drove himself inside of her. Hunter groaned, the copied Luz whined out loudly for him, holding on for dear life and trying to keep herself from getting squished between the tall Witch and the tree-bark…
All this under the eyes of an unnoticed onlooker.
-XXIV-
"…I…" Luz was holding her hands together, now completely glued to the spot, on her knees as she kept looking.
She had tried. She had desperately tried to get herself to leave, but she couldn't. She had tried to get herself to look away, but she didn't. She had seen everything. The teasing. The stripping. The cajoling…
He had seen her friend Hunter take his cock… And claim her friend Vee's ass. Her friend Vee who currently looked exactly like her.
So, in a way, she was currently watching her friend Hunter fuck her own ass…
It was so lewd. So wrong! So perverted! And… 'Why…' So mesmerizing… 'Why is it so hot?' She asked herself, internally marvelling at how perfectly Vee had managed to replicate her voice while applying a twist on her tone and vocabulary. Luz's hands were currently being squeezed really hard in-between her thighs, as if that could help stop… Something.
It certainly wasn't stopping the two of them. She felt her heart quicken as they kept fucking. And moaning. And dirty talking…! Oh, no. 'He's going to cum.' Hunter had just commented on his state. On how good her ass felt. On how he was going to cum soon.
And Vee was telling him to go ahead. She was telling, begging him to fill her up. In Luz's voice, while a loud Plap Plap Plap punctuated every time Hunter filled her ass back up, she was telling the carver to fill her up.
Paint my insides white, she was saying. Words Luz would never say. Would never mean! Would never even think, surely! So, why…
Why did she feel so…?
…
Amity better not be doing anything at all in ten minutes or so.
