Unscheduled Maintenance (Lin/Cross, from Xenoblade Chronicles X) (Patreon)

When Cross awoke, he immediately noticed that his back was aching. As durable as mimisome bodies were, an awkward sleep could still disrupt the body. In a way, it was accurate to the forms the mimisome bodies were trying to replicate, but he wished that this was a specific case where accuracy was sacrificed for efficiency.

Unfortunately, there wasn’t a whole lot he could do to avoid it. They hadn’t prepared to set up camp, so he had little choice but to sleep in the cockpit of a skell… and those were not designed for slumber.

Cross sighed, though it ended up morphing into a yawn. He figured he had slept for long enough. Staying inside for some additional shuteye was appealing, but he knew it was time for him to take watch.

Even if it wasn’t for the unfortunate positioning of his sleep, he knew he would have woken up regardless; the humidity of the region was no joke, and it could only be ignored for so long before his body craved a cooler touch.

Stretching his muscles as much as he could in the somewhat cramped cockpit, he began to maneuver out of the skell. His mind began to shift back to how he was in such a predicament in the first place.

Earlier in the day, Lin had asked him if he was willing to help her test some new skell equipment. She was working with some new parts that would amplify the speed of her personal skell, and also help better conserve fuel. Her only way to test it was to go on a sightseeing tour around Mira.

Of course, she could have done that solo, but she and Cross had grown quite close over the last several months together. He figured she wanted to spend some time with him, and he admittedly wanted to spend some time with her too.

...or perhaps she offered in the first place to justify not taking Tatsu along. Though the two certainly got along, Cross figured she would appreciate not having to drag him around everywhere.

Regardless of her reason, he saw no reason not to join her. Cross had taken on quite a few jobs lately, so he decided it was worth doing something that would undeniably be relaxing. There wasn’t often a good excuse to gaze upon Mira’s beauty, there were always indigenous creatures to face off against, or Ganglion forces to fight and defend NLA from. Naturally, there was a chance they’d run into trouble anyway, so he came well equipped. Some sort of trouble was practically guaranteed, honestly. It was Mira.

However, he never expected the inevitable problem to be… a lack of fuel.

In her excitement to try the new parts, Lin had completely forgotten to renew her skell of fuel. Upon reaching Noctilum, the Skell warned her that it was running low on energy. There wasn’t enough fuel to fly back to NLA, so an emergency landing had to be made to conserve as much fuel as possible.

Lin was in quite the panic about the situation, and was deeply apologetic too. Cross reassured her all was well, and that they could simply call for aid.

The only problem was that night was fast approaching, and the planet grew even more hostile in the darkness. A rescue team was unlikely to be sent out until the morning, so they had little choice but to stay in Noctilum. They could classify it as an emergency… but both Cross and Lin didn’t want to do so. They didn’t want to cause distress… and they both secretly wanted to spend some time together and make the most of some unfortunate circumstances.

If there was any fortunate part about their situation, it was that they knew the region well. They had an idea of what monsters would be around, and they had luckily parked in a secluded enough spot that minimized their odds of any curious creatures encountering them.

But an overnight stay in the jungle wasn’t something they were adequately prepared for, specifically in regards to sleeping arrangements.

Cross was happy to sleep first, for he had been up the longest. Though Lin had shown understandable anxiety at first about what was happening, she was reassured upon being reminded that at the very least, they were prepared for combat. They had weapons, and even though the skell was low on fuel, it could be still used in an emergency. That meant their biggest hindrance was going to be the weather.

It was yet another reason why he was starting to dislike how accurate mimisome bodies were. Did they really have to sweat? Although it was frustrating, Cross did understand why they had been manufactured that way; it would make the return to their bodies feel natural, and practically uneventful, and that made sense.

...if it wasn’t for the superhuman enhancements these bodies had, such as being able to survive any fall with ease.

Cross sighed. He had bigger things to worry about.

...like why Lin was topless.

The young girl had yet to notice that he was awake, even though he had made quite a bit of noise rummaging himself out of the skell in his daze. The damp weather of Noctilum made itself clear immediately, but it was at least more preferable to how ridiculously hot it was inside the cockpit.

In a way, he could understand why she had taken off her top. It would undeniably help her body cool down. However, he now faced the problem of alerting her without embarrassing her. He could get back into the skell and make even more noise, allowing her to quickly put her top back on, but he didn’t believe he could do so in a way that made it clear he had already seen her bare back.

Thus, he had no choice but to embarrass her, but fortuitously, he knew how to at least minimize that inevitable humiliation.

Lin was sitting on a nearby log, fidgeting with some sort of gadget. As he approached her and continued not to notice him, Cross started to wonder how much he could truly get away with. He was a man, after all, and naturally wanted to see what her upper body looked like from the front. Before he could question whether such a thing was morally acceptable, his opportunity was snatched away from him (sort of) when Lin noticed his presence and yelped.

“AH!”

During her moment of surprise, Lin stood up, tilting her body to face Cross. For a few seconds, Cross was greeted by the sight of her bare chest; it was frankly something he never thought he’d ever see, and he enjoyed those precious seconds while they lasted. Her chest was predictably small, but there was still enough to theoretically squeeze.

Of course, it wasn’t like he was ever going to be granted such a lucky opportunity. Lin hastily covered herself up with her hands, and he chuckled upon seeing her cheeks grow rosy.

“W-Why did you sneak up on me like that?!” Lin wasn’t sure what to feel nor say. There was clear annoyance in her voice, but she seemed more frustrated at herself at anything. She had been snuck up on so easily!

“I was curious to see if you would even notice,” he answered. “You should be paying more to the environment, Lin. What if I were an indigen?”

Lin pouted. She almost crossed her arms, but stopped herself quickly before remembering what that would do. Cross thought it was adorable seeing her expression constantly shift, but it interestingly settled on a cheeky one.

“Well… you’d be the most handsome indigen I’ve ever seen,” Lin surprised him with a cheeky comment. She was clearly still ashamed about her misfortune, but the adrenaline seemed to be having a positive effect on her.

"Oh, is that so?" Cross played along. This wasn't the first time Lin had expressed flirtatious behavior around him. Truthfully, he was prone to saying things that made her blush quite often too (in private, naturally).

Her failed attempt at balancing the scale returned her to that familiar fluster.

"...can you pass me my top, please?"

Cross almost obliged, but he had a better idea. Her attempt to embarrass him, paired with the  temperature that was too prominent to ignore, had sparked his imagination.

He was happy he was wearing a simple shirt, for it was easy to discard hastily before she could react. His action only processed in her mind once her eyes had feasted upon his muscular body.

"W-What are you d-doing?!"

Cross passed her his shirt. "Here you go. Wear this."

"No, I didn't ask for y-yours!" she was in a panic. "Mine is over there!"

Lin pointed to another log that her top and bra were resting upon.

"Ah, so it is," he acted obliviously. "Well, look on the bright side. Now we're equal."

"That's not…!" Lin started, but she cut herself off fast, as if she had realized something. "You're… doing this on purpose, aren't you?"

"What if I am?"

"Then…"

Cross had a feeling that Lin found his teasing both frustratingly annoying and electrifyingly breathtaking. It was clear that she had a crush on him, and he had quite the crush on her too. However, neither had confessed to each other. Neither particularly knew why, however, but it was not helping the undeniable sexual tension.

But it appeared Lin was done with the teasing, and holding back her feelings.

"In that case…" she muttered. Making sure Cross's eyes were on her, she let go of her breasts and set them free, letting her companion take a good look at them. "If you want to look at them so much, go ahead!"

Cross had never once blushed from Lin's antics before. Even seeing her boobs earlier hadn't done the trick, but knowing now that she actually wanted him to look at her that way was driving his mind a little mad.

Lin noticed his fault blush, and her confidence shot through the roof.

"Oh? Do you like looking at them?" she sounded a little smug, and that time was only incrementing in prominence. "I didn't think you were a pervert, Cross…"

He always figured there would be a breaking point in their relationship. There was only so much all the teasing and subtle (and sometimes, not so subtle) hints could go before someone caved.

Cross had to give Lin credit; he had not expected her to be so daring, but luckily he knew exactly how to combat her approach. Lin was feeling wonderfully confident currently, but her adrenaline was unstable and would not last for long. All it would take was one unexpected comment to restore balance.

Taking a deep breath, he smiled. "They are wonderful, Lin. May I touch them?"

"...W-What?!" she was flabbergasted. "So… you really are a…"

Lin was distracted by his comment, signified by her fingers tapping together and an inability to maintain eye contact with Cross. That kind of reaction was exactly what he hoped would happen. Taking advantage of her internal calamity, Cross leaned his head in, planting a gentle kiss on her forehead.

It eradicated her current distress, but only because it giving birth to new magnificent mental torture. How was she supposed to react to that?!

"You're very cute when you're flustered, Lin," Cross laughed. "Very cute."

Once again, Lin wasn't sure what emotion to feel, though it was gradually leaning to one of embarrassment. However, Cross didn't know that it wasn't just his words that were making her feel this way anymore.

"But before I do such things," he maintained control of the situation, noticing she was looking especially distracted. He had no idea what was going through her head, but he knew it was unstable to say the least. However, Cross wasn’t going to let this opportunity go to waste... but he did want her to feel comfortable. "Lin… may I kiss you again?"

He purposefully didn’t hold back his own nerves, knowing that hearing them would help quench Lin’s own. His gambit successfully returned her attention to him, and it made her squeal so adorably. Cross was appreciating how easy it was to keep her distracted, and it gave him the courage to lean in again, especially as her response was not a negative one. However, his target wasn't her forehead this time, but instead a little lower than that...

"N-Not here!" she quickly snapped at him, noticing his sudden movement. Her hands slapped him away, and he immediately wondered if he had been pushing things too far. Cross was feeling that same sense of both dread and excitement, and he wondered if he had unintentionally tipped Lin’s emotions towards the former.

"...not here?" he focused on her comment, rather than her body language. It was a peculiar comment that could end up meaning a variety of things.

Cross had seen Lin embarrassed countless times, to be frank, but this level of affordable shame was unlike anything he had ever seen. However, he knew at this point that it was best not to tease her… not yet, at least.

“...you want to k-kiss me, right? I don’t mean a silly forehead kiss, either… a proper kiss…” Lin spoke quietly. She was internally cursing these bodies just like Cross was earlier; why did they have to replicate such emotions? She wished she could just… turn them off, or something. “If you really do, then…”

“...then?”

Were they really going to… do this? Honestly, Cross wasn’t sure what that was. He just knew that his relationship with Lin was about to change. All those secret feelings were about to erupt all at once, and he had Lin to thank for deciding to be especially teasing! He certainly wasn’t expecting that.

“...kiss me… inside the skell…”

Cross had been significantly surprised by a lot of things happening during this strange night… but that comment was perhaps the most perplexing thing he had heard… in a while, really.

“Lin,” he whispered. “...are you getting so flustered because… you want your first kiss to be inside a skell?”

“Don’t laugh at me!” she snapped again, as if knowing he was going to once again torment her. Cross honestly wasn’t; he found her condition to be so cute that he would honestly feel bad about playfully mocking her over it. “I know it’s silly, but… I’ve always imagined my first kiss to be that way… inside the comfort of a skell, overlooking the beauty of Mira…”

“In that case, sure,” Cross gave his answer, and unsurprisingly, Lin was shocked at how carefree he sounded.

“...you’re not just playing with my heart, are you?” Lin questioned him.

“No, of course not,” he swiftly replied. “I will admit, I like to tease you, Lin. A lot, in fact. But I can tell this means a lot to you, so I won’t mess around.”

“Well, if you promise to not tease me, then…” she muttered, pausing to take a long drawn-out breath. “Ah, sorry… I feel a little faint, to be truthful.”

Such a statement kicked in Cross’s protective instincts. He did not want Lin to start falling for him… literally.

He was honestly tempted to pick her up, bridal style. The atmosphere was certainly there for it, but he didn’t know if Lin could emotionally handle him doing such a thing.

“I’m sorry if this sounds a little too smooth,” he started. “But I would really like to make that dream of yours come true.”

She squealed again.

“...why can’t you be more like this, Cross?” Lin was amused by his comment. “For once… I don’t mind you seeing me blush…”

“Lin, we need to get in that skell now, or else I’m going to kiss you right here and now.”

His comment was enchanting. She wanted to listen to it repeat in her mind forever, but she knew he was right. She was feeling similarly too, but she didn’t want to prevent that fantasy of hers from ever coming true. She was only ever going to have one first kiss, and she was determined to make it perfect.

Cross and Lin made their way back to the skell, but not before Lin retrieved her shirt. Getting back in proved troublesome, for their overall giddiness made them rush things, but they eventually found their way back inside the comfort of a skell.

Both were very glad this kind of skell had a lot of room to work with. There were two comfortable seats, and plenty of room to move their legs and body if necessary. Upon sitting down, Lin suddenly recalled that her breasts were still on full display and promptly covered herself up with her hands.

Noticing that she was once again distracted, Cross seized the opportunity and leaned in. As soon as Lin realized what he was doing, his lips were intersecting with hers. It was a simple embracement at first, with neither knowing really what they were supposed to be doing. Fortunately, instinct, paired with an eagerness to please, guided their path. What was once a mere touch of the lips escalated as their mouths properly pushed up against each other, letting loose that wondrous addicting sound. Although the first kiss was undeniably satisfying, it had awoken a craving for more. Their lips smashed against each other again, and again, and again…

Each one was more passionate than the last. Any remnants of anxiety faded as the two began to understand how much the other was adoring this. After what felt like an eternity, they finally stopped due to a need to breathe, but Lin’s needy eyes and flustered face encouraged Cross to gift her with another kiss… and another… and another...

If they both had hearts, they would be pounding. Regardless, their emotions were still spiralling out of control, but the feeling was anything but unpleasant.

Lin was especially happy; her wish of the perfect kiss had been fulfilled, and it was more magnificent than she imagined it being.

Cross wasn’t feeling too different himself… but he was not as romantically enchanted as she was.

He hadn’t forgotten that she was topless, after all.

Lin was reminded of that when one of his hands, previously holding her face, drifted downwards. Her eyes widened as his fingers sunk into her breast, but she managed to keep herself composed.

The touch of his hand on her boob was… nice. His hand was rough, a juxtaposition compared to how tender her breast was. Cross was relieved to see her voice his approval by… not slapping him away. He never thought he’d touch her like this, but considering she was already exposed, he figured he might as well. Seeing the tip of it in the corner of his eyes hadn’t helped his judgement either.

“...ah… that… feels nice…” she had to confess. Cross suddenly touching her bosom had distracted the kissing, but she honestly didn’t mind. His sudden ambush had reawakened some additional fantasies… and they weren’t quite as adorable as her perfect first kiss, to say the least.

The thought of going further with Cross was making her nervous, but she was beginning to realise how perfect of an opportunity this was.

They were alone.

No one was going to come for a while.

All they had for company was themselves, and they had to pass the time somehow, didn’t they? She had started to feel a little sleepy when Cross woke up, but the subsequent events had drowned out that feeling entirely.

She was ready for this, but was Cross? All signs pointed towards yes… but she had noticed that he was adorably nervous about touching her.

“Cross…” she spoke softly, her voice sounding a little off than usual. It was… needy. “I want you to touch me more…”

“Lin… are you sure?” he sounded off himself.

“...don’t hold back, okay?” she requested. “I… want you.”

That was precisely the kind of encouragement her new lover needed. Cross leaned back in, but instead of targeting her lips, her neck was instead barraged by kisses and light nibbles. It sent sensational shivers coursing through her body, and her anticipation grew upon realising he was lowering himself over time. However, before he did, Cross made sure to bite hard onto her neck, nothing but instinct guiding him. It was a phenomenal feeling, and miraculously, it didn’t hurt.

It did leave a mark though, strangely. Lin suspected it would fade after a few hours.

Probably.

Her upper torso was not as sensitive as her neck, but it still grew her apprehension; she knew exactly where his lips were going to land next. As if to prepare her (or characteristically tease her, perhaps), Cross’s finger circled around one of her nipples. Both were erect, which told Cross that they were begging to be sucked upon.

Lin knew her body was feeling terrifyingly good, but she was not prepared for how much it would break down once his greedy lips latched onto her nipple. She was learning how truly sensitive they were as they were coated in saliva and embraced by his smooth lips. Her fingers dug into his hair while he suckled upon her small breasts, as if he was still a baby. That thought brought her some amusement, but it did little to distract her from how numb her mind was becoming.

She was both relieved and disappointed when he finally let go. At the very least, it allowed her to finally ask an important question. It was one that occasionally entered her mind, but she refused to ask anybody for the answer. Not even the approachable mediators like Hope were an option.

But right now, she had to ask Cross this question. Deep down, she had a suspicion towards what the answer was, but… she was curious if Cross himself knew. It was amusingly; once upon a time, he had no idea he was in a mimisome body, but now he was an expert BLADE soldier… which meant he likely had picked up a few little tidbits along the way.

“Say, Cross… do you think… these bodies are capable of having… s… s-ah… I… oh, I can’t say it!”

“You’re trying to ask if they’re capable of having sex, aren’t you?” Cross couldn’t help but tease her about this. Deep down, she knew she was practically asking for it. “Fortunately, I do have the answer. It is possible, but of course, baby-making isn’t exactly a possibility here.”

Lin couldn’t comprehend what she was hearing. “...I can’t believe you said that so… casually!”

“And here I thought you would be thrilled,” Cross laughed.

“Why would I be thrilled?”

Lin was unaware she had fallen for his trap. Cross drafted his head closer to her ear and smirked. “That means we can have all the sex we want, without any consequences.”

She wanted to smack him. She also wanted to cry. She also wanted to laugh a lot. Lin was experiencing an unstable amount of emotions. This was where it was heading, wasn’t it? Of course, she knew, but it was only really starting to click now.

“...I need a minute,” she fell back onto her seat, breathing deeply. She gazed down, looking at how wet her nipples were. Her mind was asking her all sorts of things. Were things going too fast? Was she ready for this?

...but it was also telling her a lot of other… more appealing things, too.

Lin had fantasies about Cross plenty of times… and this night was proving to be an opportunity to fulfill many of those secret wishes of hers.

“Are you okay?” Cross was a little concerned.

“Y-Yes, I’m fine,” she answered, though she figured she wasn’t sounding too convincing, so she elaborated. “Can you just… touch me, again? I won’t be internally panicking if I’m too busy feeling good, you understand me?”

Cross raised an eyebrow. “I don’t want you to panic.”

“Okay, poor choice of words. This is new to me. It’s exciting, but also scary. But! I also know I can trust you. So! Just… y’know… keep going…”

She took a deep breath after that and relaxed.

Fortunately for her, her words had done enough to eliminate any doubt he had. Cross was especially eager to continue the exploration of her body, and he did just that… by doing something she wasn’t expecting quite yet.

His hand felt ticklish on her belly, but when it began to glide down and slide under her shorts, she grew a little anxious. It wasn’t anything a little humor couldn’t solve though, for Cross was struggling to fit his hand under her pants thanks to the double belt she was wearing. Eager to help resolve his dilemma, she unbuttoned those belts, and even went as far as to pull her shorts off below her knees, granting him access to her most private place, now only shielded by her underwear.

Doing such a thing was embarrassing, but she was determined not to let nerves stop her now. A small groan emerged out of her mouth once his finger slid across her crotch. She could feel a shakiness in his hand, and it ironically provided her with some comfort, all because he was feeling jittery too.

Cross wasn’t shy about touching her. What he was concerned about was making her feel good; he wanted to make her feel magnificent, and he was relieved (and incredibly turned on) by that small but noticeable moan. The fabric of her underwear was masking how her pussy felt, but he could tell by this point that she was soaking wet. However, he wanted to confirm it for certain, and well, there was only one way for him to do that…

Lin flinched when she felt his fingers trail underneath her underwear, but it wasn’t one of fear, but rather incredible apprehension. As soon as his finger stroked her soaked folds, she let out an unstable moan, followed by an adorable squeal.

“C-Cross…”

“Does it feel good?” he asked.

“Y-Yesss…” she answered him, her voice crackly and reading further and further towards incomprehensibility.

Cross was thankful his inexperience wasn’t a factor here; he wasn’t really sure how to touch her, but she was responding wonderfully to his touch. It allowed him to focus entirely on her face, watching as it distorted. He had never seen Lin look this way before. Her bright blush, narrowed eyes, and open mouth were something he was going to burn into his memory.

Although Lin was on the verge of being trapped by this neverending pleasure, she wasn’t the kind of girl who wanted to be spoiled. With her secret but very prominent curiosity for sex guiding her, her fingers trailed around his crotch, making him flinch in surprise. It made her giggle, but that amusement didn’t last for long when Cross suddenly slipped a finger inside her. Whether he did it as a response to her current actions was something she didn’t know, but feeling herself being opened up like this was immensely distracting-- in a good way, of course.

But there was something distracting her mind significantly more. Her fingers had dug into something hard, and upon clenching it with her hand, she was mesmerized by the feeling of his cock, even if she was touching the raw deal yet. Lin wanted to know for certain if he was really that hard, and well, there was only one way for her to do that…

Working her way down his pants was unfortunately a difficult task. Cross couldn’t get enough of how she was reacting to his fingers, and though it felt divine, it was also frustrating; she couldn’t focus on returning the favor!

Luckily, Cross did notice what she was trying to do and slowed down; it would be silly to prevent his new lover from touching his member, after all.

When her small hand curled around his length, he understood exactly why Lin reacted the way she did to his fingers. The only one who had ever touched him down there was well, himself, so to feel the touch of a softer and colder hand was wonderful.

“Cross… may I… see it?” she asked so innocently. He nodded, pulling down his leggings and underwear simultaneously in one swift action. Lin exhaled as she saw what she was holding for the first time, and all she could think of was… “Y-You’re so big…”

“I have you to thank for that,” he chuckled. Although the comment was meant to be a teasing one, she took pride in such a response.

“I… I can’t believe I’m about to say this, but…” her voice grew increasingly disturbed. She looked away briefly, biting her lip, before a look of determination formed on her face. “M-May I…?”

“...may you what?” he asked, though truthfully he knew exactly what she was referring to. Cross simply wanted to know if she’d have the guts to say it.

“You know…”

“No, I don’t think I do,” he kept up the ruse. “What do you want to do, Lin?”

Lin let out a groan of frustration. He loved hearing it.

“...close your eyes, okay? Don’t open them, no matter what!”

Cross was surprised she was trying that approach, but it did make more sense as he thought about it. Lin was a confident girl, but more intimate topics shut down that facade fast. She clearly wanted to escalate things, and if he could help minimise her nerves, it was only fair he complied with her demands.

Thus, he closed his eyes.

What he didn’t expect was how drastic of an effect this would have on Lin. He had imagined she’d take things slowly.

Instead, she lunged at his dick, planting messy kisses all over it. The sudden shock of her lips and tongue brushing up against his sensitive glans almost made him open his eyes; he really wanted to see what Lin looked like worshipping his cock… but he didn’t want to betray her trust, so he held back.

It wasn’t all bad though. Clouding his vision wasn’t going to hinder how sublime he felt.

Lin wasn’t too sure why she didn’t want to be watched. Did it help hold back her nerves? Absolutely. However, the idea of Cross watching her doing such lewd things was appealing too. Part of her wanted him to see her lose herself to lust, but she’d rather let that happen once she was acquainted with how to please him.

Since he had been so explorative with her, it was only fair she did the same. Lin let instinct take over, bombarding his shaft with many kisses and curious licks. She figured this would be a satisfactory appetizer and make him hum in joy, but she was surprised to hear him groan pretty loudly already. Did her mouth feel that good?

Of course, she knew she’d have to transition to actually… sucking on it, but the thought of doing so was nerve-wracking. However, hearing him sound so pleased was a wonderful boost to her confidence, and now she was feeling determined to make him feel even better.

She was a little concerned though. He was big. She wasn’t sure how much she could fit in, and she figured the more she could, the better. Could she fit enough?

There was only one way to find out for certain. Lin lifted herself off her seat, forcing his hand out of her pants. She missed the feeling, but his fingers had slowed down dramatically; a testament to how wonderful her lips felt against his dick. She knelt down in front of him and looked up, glad his eyes were still shut, though it did make her feel bad.

Lin decided she was ready for him to see her. “Cross… after ten seconds, you can open your eyes, okay?”

“S-Sure…” he took a moment to respond, and his voice leaked raw anticipation and excitement.

After taking a few seconds to mentally prepare herself, her lips landed on his tip and she pushed forward, letting the girth of his cock push her mouth open.

Lin was suddenly very glad she had him close his eyes. She was seeing Cross’s reaction to her with half his cock inside her mouth firsthand, and she was adoring how unstable his breathing was growing as a result. Cross constantly opened his mouth as if to say something, but the sight of Lin gobbling up his cock had left him utterly speechless. Perhaps he was shocked at how small her mouth actually was, and how much she had fit inside it, or perhaps he was simply stunned that he was actually being given head by her.

Now that his eyes were focused on her, Lin felt an unexpected urge to impress. Having her mouth opened up like this was quite intense, but Lin didn’t believe her limits had been reached.

The thought of having her entire throat stuffed full of Cross’s cock was one of her many fantasies too. Eager to fulfill it, she began to lower her head even further…

She was shocked at how easy it was. She had been fearful of going too far in case her gag reflex kicked in.

But apparently, she didn’t have one. She didn’t know if she was lucky, or if it was a rare case of mimisome bodies lacking something ordinary bodies had, but either way, she was thrilled.

Cross couldn’t believe what he was seeing. His entire length was inside her mouth; every single part was being lubricated by her saliva and being powerfully squeezed. It was intoxicating.

But Cross knew he hadn’t reached the peak of pleasure yet. He knew exactly how to make this already surreal sensation feel even better. He wasn’t sure if Lin was prepared for such a thing… but he couldn’t hold back.

“...forgive me for this, Lin, but I need this,” he apologized in advance.

Lin wasn’t sure what he meant, but when his hands rested on her head, she figured it out quickly. He was going to seize control. He was going to ravage her mouth.

The thought was scary, yet also exciting.

Cross started with small thrusts, letting her get used to the loss of control, but he knew he couldn’t keep this slow speed up for long. Even already, the friction of her soft lips sliding across his shaft was wondrous, and that feeling could easily escalate in intensity with greater acceleration.

Lin was not prepared for her throat to be so mercilessly fucked, but it didn’t stop her from enjoying it. She couldn’t believe this was actually happening-- in her own skell, no less! She wasn’t sure if she would be able to focus so well on battle in the future. All she’d be able to think about was how she sucked cock in this very... cockpit.

...the unintentional pun made her giggle… which didn’t pair well with the suffocating feeling of a cock inside her throat. Cross interpreted her weird sounds as her gagging and hastily released his member, worried he may have gone too far.

He soon learned he may have been mistaken when Lin laughed.

“S-Sorry… I… somehow made myself laugh there,” she wiped away the excessive amount of saliva around her mouth.

“...it was probably for the best,” he admitted. “I… think I was about to lose myself there.”

“Why do you say that if it’s a bad thing?” she questioned him in a teasing tone. “Maybe I wanted that to happen…”

“Oh?”

“Unfortunately for you, the moment has passed,” she replied, noticing he absolutely was interested in using her mouth again. Truthfully, she desired that too, but she wasn’t sure if she could do so with that nagging feeling down by her crotch. It had to be attended to before it grew more prominent. “I think it’s only fair you treat me in return, right?”

Just in case he didn’t quite get the memo, she stood up and pulled down her shorts, along with her underwear. Doing this ten minutes ago would have been a difficult task due to nerves, but something about having her throat ravaged and living to tell the tale had gifted her with a shocking amount of confidence. Lin sat back down, spreading her legs and revealing her soaking snatch to him for the first time.

“Ah, I understand now,” Cross said with a smirk. That look on his face almost shattered her courage; it was unbearably hot, and she feared that showing him how much of an effect he was truly having on her lust would make it so easy for him to tease her.

To make things even worse, she didn’t dislike the idea of that either… but part of her wanted to stay on this ride while she could.

Lin cursed her indecisiveness! She never knew how much she simultaneously loved and hated his teasing until this point.

Well, she’d have time to think about those things later. Cross was already kneeling in front of her, and his rough and strong hands on her thighs were already sending chills throughout her body.

Cross hadn’t forgotten how much energy Lin had put into the blowjob, and he was eager to return the favor just as enthusiastically. Her pussy looking genuinely tasty was a welcome bonus too.

Lin had not finished mentally preparing herself when Cross dug in, bombarding her with adventurous licks and kisses that never dwindled in vitality. The outfitter was used to the feeling of pleasure… but not at this level. No level of preparation could have helped brace for this; his mouth felt heavenly against her sensitive folds, and the constant jolts of what felt like electricity coursing through her veins were mind-boggling-- literally.

She couldn’t think. It was like her mind had shut down. Any attempt at a thought was vanquished by the prominent pleasure echoing through her body. All Lin’s body could do was act instinctively. Her legs closed down on his face, trapping him and preventing him from removing his tongue from her pussy. Her body was undeniably thrilled by how it was feeling.

Cross was honestly a little concerned about how crazy her reaction was. Her voice was growing loud, and her body wouldn’t stop fidgeting either. At the same time though, it was hot, knowing he was having such an effect on her.

As for the act of eating her out, the taste was surprisingly strong at first. It wasn’t something he was prepared for, but the acidity did dwindle over time, likely as he had swallowed more of her leaking liquid than what she could produce in return. It was a lot easier to focus on pleasing her after, for the taste was now more water-like. It also allowed him to look up at her and see that wonderful expression too. Cross made sure to focus on it for some time, for her face had grown so lewd that he knew he wanted to never forget that face.

“C-C-Cr… Crooossss…”

He was going to try his best to remember how intoxicating that voice sounded too.

It was good motivation to give it his all though. It wasn’t like he wasn’t already, but he felt extra committed to bringing her to a mind-blowing orgasm. Cross had a suspicion she was close too. He hoped she was, for he wasn’t sure if her body would be able to handle this constant shaking so much longer.

He took the time to record in his head what really drove her mad. Though her reactions were unreal no matter what he did, he noticed she was especially fond of whenever he sunk his tongue into her, and whenever he paid special attention to her clit.

At long last, Lin let out a terrifying loud shriek, but it was the signal that indicated her body couldn’t hold back any longer. Cross was forced to use his hands to keep her stable as her body refused to not convulse dramatically. Lin moaned and moaned, each one sounding more unstable than the last… and also more exhilarating.

As powerful as minimsome bodies were, they were still designed to resemble human bodies as much as they could, both internally and externally. There were obvious exceptions to that rule, but no supernatural enhancements had been made to a body’s sexual stamina… probably. Cross supposed BLADE didn’t want their soldiers constantly having sex all the time, but he didn’t know for sure that Lin showing exhaustion was proof that she was lacking stamina. It could be just because she was new to this.

Lin fell back onto her chair, her body staggering down while her senses slowly restored themselves to normality.

“Crosssss….” she hummed. “That was… ah… my head hurts… but it’s so good…”

“Looks like I did a good job, hmm?” he couldn’t help but feel a little smug.

“Hey now…” she mumbled. “Don’t act like you weren’t feeling too different yourself when your big dick was in my mouth…”

She did have a point. “Fair enough.”

“...hey… I still need to make you cum too…” she sounded both groggy and giddy. “And… I want you to do it… inside here…”

Cross resisted the urge to exhale loudly when she spread her pussy lips so seductively, but before he could fulfill her demands, Lin suddenly moved a hand underneath her seat. Cross watched as her seat tilted back, allowing her to fully lay down.

“...skells aren’t supposed to have that feature,” he observed. “Don’t tell me you added it because…”

Lin chuckled, thankful she had remembered that little quirk of the skell. “Well, it was mainly so I could sleep in my skell if I wanted to… but this is a nice bonus too.”

Cross did not look too pleased. “You could have told me about that before I slept awkwardly.”

“Oh, sorry…” she had honestly forgotten to tell him. Luckily for her, she knew exactly how to make it up to him. Returning her hands to her pussy, she once again spread herself open. “Will my pussy be an adequate apology? It’s yours… take it… please… just fuck me… I can’t take it anymore...”

She didn’t realise how slutty she had started to sound until after she finished speaking, but it was too late to take back her words now. It was embarrassing to play them back in her head, but she was at least satisfied with how Cross smirked in response. She cursed her mind for making her love that stupid grin! Lin was by no means an elegant girl… but she was absolutely more sophisticated than… well, this.

Cross wasn’t that mad about the unfortunate sleeping situation, but he figured he may as well play along. Lin was undeniably very turned on, and he had an idea of how to drive her even crazier.

“So this is your apology, Lin? I don’t think it’s good enough. If you really want to make it up to me, I think it’s only fair I punish your pussy instead of rewarding it. How does that sound?”

The way he said that was disrupting her breathing again. Was he just saying to mess with her, or did he legitimately want to… punish her? Her mind was working over the clock trying to decipher what he could mean by that. While it was doing that, her captivated heart answered in its place.

“Punish it… don’t hold back…”

Cross wasn’t sure if she was even conscious of what she was saying anymore. He could at least tell his cheeky little comment had sent her head ablaze. Lin had still not learned that being distracted around him wasn’t exactly a good idea, but he wasn’t going to complain. He did enjoy how she reacted to his surprises.

Originally, Cross thought about taking his time with her, but there was much appeal in pushing into her quickly and suddenly. Lin was even encouraging him to be rough with her too. He couldn’t forget how well she had reacted to her throat being violated either.

Part of his mind fought back; he didn’t want to risk hurting Lin at all… but he figured that pain was an inevitability with sex. The least he could do was make it swift and get it over with.

Taking advantage of her distracted mind once again, Cross plunged in. A strong heat immediately coiled around his shaft, reinforced by the feeling of slippery muscles contracting around his cock. It was a very new feeling, but one that was nothing short of heavenly. If this was what her insides felt like, he had a hunch he was going to grow addicted quickly. He was only able to fit in about half his cock before he met more notable resistance, but it proved to be a good opportunity to check his lover’s reaction.

Lin was moaning. Loudly. It was groaning that leaked understandable shock, but there was plenty of pleasure within it too. He was glad, for he was starting to feel guilty for suddenly penetrating her like this.

“...I… w-wow…”

“Sorry if it hurts, Lin,” he felt compelled to apologise. “But you were wide open. Besides, you did tell me to take it.”

“I-It’s fine… I’m just… ah… surprised…” she murmured. “...because… it doesn’t hurt…”

“Oh, it doesn’t?”

“If it did, I... would have probably slapped you out of reflex by now...” she giggled. Lin felt fantastic, but she couldn’t help but think back to how ridiculous she was sounding moments before. It was embarrassing! At the very least, how wonderful his cock felt inside her was proving to be a sufficient distraction. “Y-You can keep going…”

Although he had been initially aggressive with his approach, Cross decided to be more careful with his subsequent thrusts. He doubted Lin was lying about a lack of pain, but that didn’t mean she wouldn’t ever not feel discomfort. So long as he took his time and allowed her insides to get used to his cock, he figured she wouldn’t feel any negative feelings whatsoever. It would also help him adjust to the unique feeling too, for the humidity of her insides was very welcoming… significantly more so than the sweaty atmosphere of Noctilum!

Cross experimented with how much he could fit in, and was pleasantly surprised to find that he could fully fit inside her, though it was undeniably a tight fit. Breaching her deepest parts was more of a challenge, perhaps as that part wasn’t used to being opened up like that. Now that he thought about it, the part that was easy to penetrate was akin to the length of a finger…

“Cross… this feels… wonderful…” she told him. He was adoring how drastically different Lin’s voice was every time she spoke. Currently, it sounded tranquil and at peace, matching the slow rhythm of his thrusts. “Mmm… but didn’t you… say you wanted to punish me?”

He had no idea his new lover was this much of a sexual deviant… but he wasn’t complaining one bit. There was never any time for this kind of stuff when working for BLADE. He had experienced so much sexual repression due to the workload, and the tension he felt around Lin didn’t help that one bit. Presumably, Lin had felt the same too.

Right now, they were finally alone and able to express their feelings to one another. But once they returned to New Los Angeles, would they have an opportunity to be alone like this again? It was hard to tell, but that just meant he had even more reason to make this a night to remember. He wasn’t going to stop until she was satisfied, and if he had to be rough and tough with his adorable Lin Lee Koo to please her, then that was exactly what he was going to do.

Holding firmly onto her hips, Cross accelerated dramatically. All his energy was put into fucking Lin’s pussy as energetically as he could, and she was taking it wonderfully. Her moans grew in volume in unison with his rhythm, and that marvelous music spurred him on.

He kept this up for quite a while, enjoying every single reaction she gifted to him, whether it was one he could see, such as her hot expression or the jiggling of her small breasts, or one he could hear, like her endless moaning.

She felt magnificent internally too. She was somehow growing even hotter inside, and even tighter too. Cross was honestly not sure if he could handle this extraordinary feeling for much longer, but he was still determined to give it his all. It was a shame he couldn’t fuck her even faster than this, for he had reached the limits of his speed.

Well, he could go faster, but the only way to do that would be to activate Overdrive… and he quickly decided that doing so was not a good idea.

...but perhaps it was something to consider for the future. The idea was a little too ludicrous to consider now.

“Crosssss…” Lin groaned. She lifted a hand to his face, stroking it gently, an action that paused his thrusts and made him focus on the beauty of the girl in front of him. “Can we change position? There is... one I want to try.”

Cross nodded. He was actually thankful for her request, for he wasn’t sure how long he could keep fucking her like that for. His hips were not accustomed to such rapid speed. Not yet, at least.

Lin managed to stand up, though her body was aching a little. He was not familiar with what a mimisome body looked like internally (aside from the incident with his arm), so he wasn’t sure when machine-like parts met artificial “natural” parts. Basically, he hoped his cock hadn’t somehow damaged her internally, but he believed he was just worrying too much. It felt weird to think about that anyway. Lin instructed him to take her place and sit down, making it clear what the position she had in mind was.

She stood facing away from him, giving him a nice view of her ass for the first time. Lin shuffled onto her lap, trying to position his cock so it would slot back into her, but it was clear she was struggling. At first, he believed it was due to that consistent aching, but he was starting to believe excitement had a role to play in it. Lin wouldn’t stop giggling happily; it was like she was on cloud nine.

This bliss did have an unintended consequence, however.

The shakiness of her hand ended up positioning his dick incorrectly, aiming it a little higher than it ought to have been. Cross’s cock penetrated something, but it was not her pussy. He felt the difference immediately, for this hole was ridiculously tighter.

“Ah… this position makes it feel weird…” Lin observed the difference, though her speech indicated she was blaming it on the incorrect thing.

Somehow, his cock was fully inside her ass… and she looked as if she was experiencing no agony at all.

“Lin… you… do know I’m not inside your pussy, right?” he had to ask her. There was simply no way she was oblivious to what was happening, right?

“Huh, what are you talking about? I’m-”

She cut herself when she reached a finger down towards her snatch, noticing that it was indeed empty.

“...oh.”

“So you weren’t aware,” Cross couldn’t help but chuckle a little, but he was still slightly worried. “...does it hurt?”

They had found themselves in quite a strange situation, and this admittedly already was a strange situation.

“I think the most surprising part is that it doesn’t,” she answered. “It feels… intense, and different… but it’s nice. I… think I like it...”

“I guess the mimisome bodies are to blame,” he suggested. “Or thank, I guess.”

Lin couldn’t believe what was happening. Anal sex was one of many fantasies, but she had anticipated quite a buildup to it. She knew such a thing required preparation… but apparently, these bodies did not. Sure, that would change when they eventually returned to their real bodies… but right now, they had the opportunity to experience the pleasures of this type of sex without any drawbacks at all. She was very interested in that.

Raising her body, she felt her inner muscles contract around his length. It was strange for there to be no pain at all, even if it was still a strong feeling. In hindsight, she should have expected this after ordinary sex resulted in no agony at all.

All she could theorise was that mimisome bodies were designed to have sex without the negative drawbacks.

For an ordinary citizen of New Los Angeles, this was undoubtedly fantastic. But for a member of BLADE? This knowledge was going to be where the real pain originated from. This felt amazing! She wanted to feel this way all the time…

But when would they have an opportunity like this again? She suspected it would be a very long time.

...and that was more reason to have as much fun as possible while they still could.

“How does it feel, Cross…?” she asked innocently, in a purposefully cutesy way. She looked back and saw a mesmerized face, making her smirk. Riding his cock this way was taking some getting used to, but she was liking it. Her pussy was still desperate for attention, but her fingers were fulfilling that need just fine. Lin honestly couldn’t believe she was still feeling okay internally, for both holes being stimulated was nothing short of enchanting. There was a possibility she was getting used to sex… and that was a good thing! That meant she could be fucked without those embarrassing sounds leaking out of her!

...well, not at a high volume, at least.

“Lin… it’s so tight…” he answered. His tone indicated that it was a good thing.

“Mmm… it feels good for me too…” she hummed in return.

“I… think I’m close, Lin,” he had to let her know. Cross couldn’t believe how extraordinary her ass felt. It lacked the humidity of her pussy, but made up for it in ridiculous compactness, and that was the kind of thing he needed to reach his peak.

Lin couldn’t believe what she was about to say, but she couldn’t deny just thinking about it made her feel even hornier. “Cum inside… cum inside my ass, Cross…”

For a long time, Lin had denied the persistent thought in her head that she was a secretly naughty girl.

She didn’t think she’d be able to do that anymore now.

Finally, Cross reached his peak. He groaned, his voice reaching a heightened level of volatility. Lin wanted to focus on how it sounded, but the feeling of his semen flowing into the deepest part of her ass was too distracting. She adored the unique feeling and wished it could last forever, but that was sadly one of the many wishes she had on this night that wasn’t fulfilled.

But that was fine. All the other ones had come true.

Both individuals were exhausted, but mimisome bodies were designed to recuperate quickly. They were super soldiers and possessed phenomenal stamina… and they both knew they were going to take advantage of this. Cross felt silly for forgetting this information, but he wasn’t exactly complaining; they had limited time, after all, so the reduction in downtime was appreciated.

As soon as their lips met once again and their kiss grew in passion, they knew they were not getting any more sleep.

___

Lin and Cross were relieved to finally return to New Los Angeles.

They were exhausted, the former especially due to a lack of sleep. They had gone at it all night. When the rescue team arrived, led by none other than Elma herself, they were able to excuse their messy and sleepy states by claiming they were battling indigens all night. They were rightfully scolded for not declaring their state as an emergency one, but the excuse of not wanting to waste precious resources did dwindle Elma’s criticism.

“Are you sure you two are alright?” Elma wasn’t fully convinced. She didn’t seem to suspect any… inappropriate play, if her tone was any indication. She was just genuinely concerned for their well-being.

“It has been a long night, Elma,” Lin answered. “I really need some sleep.”

“Of course, of course,” she responded, crossing her arms. “Ah, before I forget. When you wake up, you should get that mark on your neck checked out. For someone who claims they weren’t injured in the slightest, you seem to have quite the wound there.”

Lin froze. She knew she had to answer that kind of response fast. It didn’t help that Cross hadn’t caught on yet.

“I-It was probably an allergic reaction!” she answered, and when she did, she knew she was doomed. Elma smirked ever so slightly.

Thus, Lin did the only thing she could do in such a situation. She ran, claiming she really needed sleep.

“H-Hey, Lin!” Cross called out to her. “Someone who is tired doesn’t run like that!”

Elma was glad to see Cross chasing after her, as it meant she could let loose the laughter she had been holding back. She had caught on to what was happening before they even arrived back in NLA, and she had found their attempts to hide it highly amusing.

“It took them long enough to confess their feelings towards each other,” she spoke to herself. “Can’t say I expected them to do that though. Perhaps I’ll arrange some more duo missions for them in the future...”
