Part 4: The Beach “Hey there, handsome~” said Pillow to the approaching Stargazer. “I was expecting my date any minute, but if we're quick, we can run away before she gets here~” Stargazer crossed his arms and lightly scrunched up his face. Both were as nude as the cyclops had been on their first meeting, but this time s/he had traded the two beach balls for a smaller one lower down, and an additional noodle with a medial ring and a magenta head. It had grown more erect as he closed the distance. He tilted his head at something bellow Pillow's bellybutton, and bent down to inspect it: a black sigil resembling a spiked eyeball with a pointed tail pointing right between Pillow's labia. “Huh? You can see that...?” His eye widened and he poked the sigil a few times. “Ahh, we can talk about my soul brand later~ It won't have any effect on our activities.” He stepped back, put his hands on his hips, and shook his head reproachfully, booping Pillow's nose and then snaking his arm around hers. “Hey, you've seen the streams~ You know what kind of girl you're dating~” Stargazer did the equivalent of waggling his eyebrows, but of course he didn't have even one of them. After a walk along the long, wide beach of iridescent bluish grains, pausing now and then to look at tiny invertebrates living in the ocean-swept sand, or a discarded shell, they found a spot away from the waves, slightly secluded by some big slate chunks and tall green brush, where the density of beachgoers was low enough for their liking. Pillow whipped out a leopard-print beach towel from her cleavage inventory slot, and deployed it perfectly straight with no effort. She followed it up with a big floral print umbrella and jammed that into place and gave them some shade. The sun was still high and bright, and the salty breeze had been a blessing up to that point. Stargazer sat down on the towel. “I don't go to the beach much, but I know you need one of these! ...Did you not bring one?” He responded by lying back and quirking his eye at her mischievously. She laid down next to him, scooping him up with one arm because there wasn't enough room for the two of them to lie down without overlap. He nuzzled her upper arm, and Pillow went in for the kiss, but he stuck a finger in her mouth. “Ahng?” She paused, but when the finger didn't go anywhere, she explored it with her tongue and lips. It was thick and slightly cool, with a texture reminiscent of a dolphin. The taste was like the mantle of a mollusk, if a grape was a mollusk. An illusory extra Pillow head appeared in the air. “Now, as per our rules...” and then she poked into Stargazer's mouth. Sometimes he didn't have one at all, but today he had come equipped with a cartoon catlike mouth, which opened into a teardrop shape. Pillow had long, pointy fingernails, but somehow she made them quite safe for soft orifices. As Stargazer felt over her fangs and many other pointed teeth, she did similar with a dark grey finger-bean – he had decided to go with big zipper-teeth again. “My, what big teeth you have. All the better to eat me with... Oh, that gives me an idea.” Her cheeks inflated and she crossed her eyes, and his finger twitched. Mana flowed from fox to noodle! It was only a trickle, and she soon relaxed her face into a smile, the gag having been delivered, as she let it seep into the alien's finger. He took it out, shinier than before, and Pillow did the same. He squeezed the hand that was resting on his hip and twisted his upper body to hug and give her an actual kiss, without poking her with his boner. She dispelled the floating head and gladly returned to oral spelunking, this time with her tongue. A steady cloud of glowing azure mana oozed from it, and the inner surface of his mouth absorbed it like a gentle vortex tugging in all directions. He closed his eye and rubbed the side of her breast, exploring the fur and the way it connected with her chest. She took the opportunity to stroke up his side to one half of the hoop, kneading the outside and working around to the inside, wrapping her hand around it like a more sensual version of gripping a steering wheel. It seemed that, indeed, he had no bones. He felt sturdy, but she could probably squish any part of him like a stress toy if she tried. Around the time she was thinking this, he was exploring her cleavage and, maybe deliberately, brushing against one of her nipples with his hoop. The hoop twitched a bit at first, especially when she fingered the upper crux, but seemed to relax after a while. He settled his upper half back down at her side, and they rubbed each other's bellies. A little wisp escaped when their lips parted, but he paused to slurp it out of the air. “Oohoohoo~” Pillow shivered. “That was pretty poggers, you know...” Stargazer nodded, confused. They went back to it a few more times, but they had both started dripping after the second or third time (Pillow especially), and the breeze wasn't quite enough to keep them cool through all of that, so they went for a swim to cool down. The rest of the date, they went no further than holding hands, but when they split up again, they were both thinking about how far they would go next time...
