 Hizashi took a long, deep breath and held it for three full seconds before letting it out. He arched his back, stretching, making the flow and pull of muscles smooth as possible and tossing his long ponytail over one shoulder.

All with his eyes closed.

His body was hot, naked and covered in a light sheen of sweat from previous exertions. He wasn't tired but there was that warm glow that comes from testing your limits just enough.

Making love to his girlfriend was one of his favorite pastimes. Unfortunately, due to a large amount of work he had recently they hadn't been able to be physical for a long time. This was his gift not only to himself but to her, as well - a long, leisurely weekend in a nice hotel. No one knew who they were and only important people knew <i>where</i> they were so they wouldn't be disturbed unless it was an all-out emergency.

They'd tumbled into bed as soon as they arrived, and this was the result. Hizashi was eager but seriously determined to take his time.

"Hey," Elly called softly, breaking him out of his thoughts. "Hey, you okay sweetie? You got real quiet all of a sudden."

His eyelids fluttered open, pupils blown wide with the concentric circles around them thick with passion. "Yeah. Just thinkin' how good you feel... hold me, babygirl," he panted hoarsely. "It's all <i>kinds</i> of awesome when you grab me tight."

"Harder than this?" Elly squeezed, then dug her nails lightly into his upper back.

He reacted as if electrified, jolting as far upright as he could in his position. "Shhhhhhit, yeah!"

"I don't want to hurt you."

"S'okay, mmhmm. It's better'n okay. Every little scratch from my kitty goes right to my dick."

"Hi<i>zashi</i>."

"Ain't gonna lie," he grinned slyly as he resumed thrusting. "So. I makin' ya feel good too, babe?"

"Yes." Her breathing picked up, chest heaving as he dropped his head to her neck and bit gently. "Zashi, <i>yes</i>..!"

"I wanna <i>hear</i> it," he sang out softly. "Tell me, sweet thing. Consider it part of my gift." He paused, groaned and kissed the blushing mark he'd just made. "You know I love it when you get loud."

"I know."

"Here, lover -" She snorted, amused, and he winked at her before gesturing. "Sit up a little, yeah? I'm gonna kneel."

"H - how are you going to..?"

Hizashi grinned at her and maneuvered her legs into the position he wanted. "All right?"

"Uh huh, but -"

"Hang on!"

"Oh my god."

"Yeah?"

"Oh my <i>god</i>!"

"<i>Yeah, baby</i>!" He doubled his efforts and was rewarded by a steady stream of 'love you' and various stutterings of his name. He shuddered all over when she grew louder, losing her inhibition as she neared orgasm. Though his own pleasure was nearly crushing him with its weight he carefully gauged her closeness and nipped her ear her right as she flew over the edge.

"<i>Oh Zashi! You're amazing</i>!"

He choked, faltering for a moment as he processed her scream, then let one out himself as the pressure in his loins exploded in an intense release. It was almost too much to be pleasurable ...almost.

They lay breathing heavily for a few long minutes before she gasped out, "Happy birthday."

"Thanks, baby." Hizashi pulled her in for a quick hug. "Gotta pee though, right?"

"Yeah..." She grimaced. "I think I'm gonna make a mess anyway. You kind of came a <i>lot</i>."

He chuckled sheepishly. "Uh huh. Next time, let's not wait 'til we're ready to pop, huh?"

"Absolutely."

Beyond the sea 8

 Hizashi couldn't sleep.

It was early, after all, he would normally have been in bed hours ago. But he had spent a wonderful night talking with Elly all the way into the morning. It had been so long since he felt such a connection to anyone that he not only desired them, but wanted to learn about their past, future and their dreams.

Wait -

He couldn't remember <i>ever</i> being this eager to know what someone else's dreams were.

<i>And that kiss</i>!

He tossed and turned for a half an hour until he felt trapped, not able to move his legs seperately. Hizashi jerked upright, panicked.

"Shiiiiit." The sheets were ripped out from where they'd been carefully tucked in on his large bed and tossing and turning enough had bound his legs up. After carefully untangling himself, he rolled out and cracked open the curtains nearby to let enough light in to see. "Ugh." Groaning, he flicked a few random strands of hair back where they'd fallen out of the loose top knot piled at the crown of his head. Stumbling around, he shoved handfuls of golden silk under his mattress until he was satisfied it wouldn't slide free again so easily. Of course all that exhertion caused more long, blond hair to fall out and tickle his cheeks.

"S'everything fucking coming apart?" He fumbled the drapes closed, plunging the room into darkness once more. After settling under the covers he took down his hair and redid it all, securing the mass of blond back on top with the black silk scrunchie that held it. "Nmmm. Sleep."

Hizashi flopped onto his pillow and closed his eyes, already replaying the kiss over in his mind. His lips curved into a sensual smile as he slipped into sleep at last.

Elly was also having problems sleeping, but she had some very different reasons.

Her mind raced, refusing to let her tired body rest. The foremost thought was that she needed to make sure Hizashi was protected in the water. She was okay with never walking again if it meant he was safe.

If she were honest with herself, this probably killed her chances with him. Elly bit her lip, staving off tears as she remembered the awesome connection they had, and the power of that kiss!

How could she have been so stupid?

She'd imagined her new body would enchant him and then she would get her legs back. She liked being a mermaid - it was exhilirating in certain ways -- but this wasn't how she wanted to live <i>forever</i>. Topside, the lease where she'd been renting had run out and that was fine, but her worldly possesions were in a storage locker. She couldn't work while she was like this so she was using her savings to pay for that. It wouldn't last forever.

She groaned. <i>Not that I have any place to keep them! Nothing is waterproof!</i>

Also, though she loved the ocean, it was pretty frightening being underwater all the time. There were four dimensions danger could strike from and you had to be alert all the time.

Thankfully she'd found a cave like Aizawa's awhile back, and while smaller, she fit if she curled herself up tightly. A fresh-picked bed of kelp made everything a little more comfortable, but while she eventually closed her eyes, sleep didn't come for hours.
