Reincarnated in the Astral World

'Kiss?' Arthur pretends to be confused about Nyx's question.

But she is not so easily fooled. 'Don't lie to me; why didn't you kiss that girl? I know you are interested in such things…'

Her tone starts upset but becomes shy quickly, making Arthur smile. "I won't deny that I think about such things…"

'So why didn't you kiss her?' Nyx asks again. 'Doesn't her appearance please you?'

'Not the way I would like,' Arthur responds honestly. 'But, I also don't deny that I am attracted to girls like her…'

Nyx is silent for a while and then speaks again. 'I don't understand! If you want it, why not just do it?'

'You already know,' He replies with confidence.

'I- I- I know what?' She stammers as she just can't admit it.

Arthur feels that he is close to overcoming a barrier between him and Nyx, so he focuses on playing his cards wisely.

'You hear and see everything that happens around me, don't you?' He asks and quickly continues. 'So you heard when I told Margaret why I couldn't be with her in that way.'

"..."

Silence, as he expected. He also remains silent and waits for Nyx to start the conversation, which happens after a few minutes.

'I don't remember well…' She speaks in a curious tone. 'Can you explain?'

'Of course,' He responds with a gentle and loving tone. 'I can't be with other girls because there is already a person filling all the space in my heart.'

"Ah?!" Nyx seems to want to say something, but she falls silent, feeling shy and timid again.

But this time Arthur doesn't wait for her reply. 'Don't pretend you don't know what I'm talking about; you are that person, the only girl that interests me.'

'What?!?' She is really surprised to hear Arthur speak those words, as this is the first time he is being open with his feelings. 'That… I… ehh…'

Arthur makes a fake disappointed expression. 'It seems you don't feel the same about me…'

'No…' Nyx quickly responds, but her voice becomes lower and lower. 'I… maybe… well…'

Arthur knows that he is almost breaking the barrier, but Nyx's shyness seems harder to overcome than he expected. He has to think of something quick, and a strange idea comes to his mind. He feels disgusted just thinking about saying something like this, but he feels like it's a good bluff for the situation…

It could give him victory over his adversary or end the game for him. Either way, he needs to do something or Nyx will retreat in her shell again, and all his progress will be lost.

'Nyx…' He speaks sadly while inwardly gritting his teeth. 'If you're not interested in me, maybe you'd want to meet other men?'

"NO!!!" Now her voice is full of determination, and she even leaves his Nexus standing over his body and looking straight into his eyes. Her face has never been so close to his, and while he can't help but blush due to all the stimuli she is awakening in his body, Nyx seems so brave this time.

"I don't want to see any other man, nor think about them!" She declares with bright eyes.

Then her expression starts to become shy again, and she looks away. "Only you…" Her tone becomes lower by the end making it obvious that she's losing her courage, however even then, she tries her best to keep speaking.

"Only you are allowed... only you and no one else!" She is so cute, saying that.

Nyx is surprised at herself for gathering enough courage to put such intense feelings out. Arthur, on the other hand, is wearing a wide grin from ear to ear, full of happiness and pride.

"I'm happy you feel that way, my dear," He speaks in his most loving tone so far.

Nyx can't help but think how things got to this point, and then she realizes that she was driven to such an act by Arthur. She understands that he planned every word to force her to be honest.

"You…" She tries to be angry with him, but she can't muster the strength for it. She can't help but feel grateful for finally speaking about her true feelings. Now feeling much lighter and less frustrated, Nyx lays her head on Arthur's chest, as she can't look him in the eyes now.

"Fool!" She sighs.

Having the girl he loves seek comfort and security in his chest makes Arthur feel like the proudest and most confident man in the world. He can swear that he is feeling his body getting much stronger quickly, even though that doesn't make any sense.

"You're so adorable, Nyx," He praises her but doesn't make any move to avoid ruining the moment.

She blushes deeply and hides her face in his chest, feeling his warmth through his shirt. "You can't keep saying things like that..." She speaks in a shy tone. "Or else I'll freak out and leave."

"It's okay," He says confidently. "You've already said how you feel, so now there's no going back. You're mine, Nyx, only mine."

She falls silent again, her heart beating so fast that Arthur can feel it echoing through his entire body.

"What's good about being yours?" She tries to seem upset, but that just makes her look cuter. "That means nothing to me!"

"What's good? Hmm..." Arthur speaks in a loving tone. "Why don't you let me show you how good I can make you feel ?"

Nyx shocks Arthur by biting his chest, her teeth crumpling his shirt and marking his skin.

'You're thinking about naughty things, aren't you? You pervert!' She exclaims in his mind.

"That's not it!" Arthur quickly responds. "Well, I also think about things like that, but that's not what I meant now."

Nyx just listens to him in silence, so he continues. "You've been hugging me at night for more than three years, and I haven't even been able to touch you yet…"

Those words leave Nyx embarrassed; she really hugs his body very tightly when she is sure he is sleeping. Arthur is very satisfied with the progression of things so far, so he continues to move forward slowly so as not to scare her.

"Look, I'm not asking us to do anything bold yet," He continues with affection and longing. "I just want to be able to touch you freely... to be able to show how much I like you."

Nyx is moved by Arthur's statements, but the words echo in her mind. She is always accusing Arthur of being a pervert to hide her own naughty thoughts about him, buried deep in her heart. After a minute of silence, she gathers the courage to speak again. "Just touching?"

"It's a start," He responds enthusiastically.

"Hmm…" Nyx wonders about that. "I don't know, you might be tricking me again."

"I will never do that to you again!" Arthur speaks honestly, even though a part of him enjoyed their interaction, and especially her reaction to it.

Nyx continues to hide her face in his chest in silence, so Arthur insists. "I won't do anything you don't feel comfortable with, I promise."

She believes and trusts him instinctively, so she is only reluctant due to her shyness. But she gathers the strength to contain it and lifts her head to look him in the eyes.

"Okay…" Her face is flushed, and her eyes are shining with anticipation. "I allow you… to touch… me."

Arthur gets thrilled, his hands have been yearning for that for a while now, and now he can finally… touch her! Slowly, he brings both his hands towards her beautiful face, and with the tips of his fingers, he finally feels her velvety skin.

'So soft… and warm!' He thinks while his finger glides over her skin, which is oily now due to how much Nyx is sweating. Drops of her shiny sweat with the scent of strawberries run down her cheek, as Arthur wipes them with his finger.

'You're so beautiful,' Arthur tells her mentally. 'So precious.'

"Ah~~!!?" Nyx is again taken by surprise by his sincere praises. She truly loves every compliment he gives her, but precisely because she enjoys them, her shyness is triggered, and she starts to panic.

Nyx spent three years running to Arthur's Nexus whenever she felt like this, but now she wants the courage to continue enjoying his compliments and his touch. But her cute reactions awaken in Arthur the wildest urges and not even his strong determination can hold them back anymore.

"Nyx…" He speaks her name with a desire-filled voice and runs his hand to the back of her head. "I want to kiss you… I desire you so much."

'Kiss?!?!' That word echoes in Nyx's mind. She's imagined it so many times it's impossible to count, but the mere idea of it is enough to make her extremely scared. She finds herself in a dilemma; she really wants Arthur's kiss, but her body freezes, and she can't even say anything.

He seems to notice that, and boldly, he begins to gently pull her head towards him.

'Really?' She knows she only has two options, retreat to his Nexus or let it happen. The idea of running away seems the most comfortable, but after three years of holding back all her feelings, she doesn't want to run away anymore.

'It's okay if it's you…' To Arthur's delight, she chose to accept. He can hardly believe that things are going so well; it feels like a dream. But he remains focused and slowly draws closer to Nyx's lips.

She closes her eyes in expectation, and then their lips touch.

'So soft… wet… and delicious!' Arthur knew that Nyx's lips would be amazing, but experiencing them in reality is a better experience than he could have imagined.

She also enjoys the sensation of his lips, but such a good feeling only makes her shyer, and her body remains frozen. Arthur doesn't mind leading the kiss anyway, and instinctively, he starts to nibble gently on her lips.

As his movements become more intense, Nyx also begins to respond to the stimuli of her body instinctively, and her lips follow Arthur's lead.

'So good…' He enjoys the sensation and taste to his heart's content, and the kiss goes on for several minutes with just a few breaks in between. Arthur keeps his hand on the back of Nyx's head, but she no longer needs the help to take her own initiative.

She also adjusts her position, sitting over his belly, and responds to his feelings with passionate kisses. Nyx is feeling so good now that her tail begins to wag out of her control and ends up brushing against something hard and warm.

"WHAH?!" She breaks the kiss and looks back, shocked at the sight of a big tent over Arthur's underwear.

She looks back at him with a feigned furious expression. "Don't get the wrong idea, I'm only willing to kiss now!"

"It's okay, it's okay," Arthur quickly speaks. "But I can't prevent it from getting like this... after all, it's how my body reacts to you."

Nyx is overwhelmed by conflicting feelings. She feels happy, and proud, but also shy and upset.

"Okay," She sighs. "But if you can't hold it in, just go to the bathroom, okay?"

"Don't worry, I think I can hold it," He speaks confidently. "Just avoid rubbing your tail on it… you know."

Nyx again feels very embarrassed and almost retreats to his Nexus, but her eyes are drawn to his mouth, and she can't resist the urge to kiss him again. Even without using tongues or other daring acts, the two don't even notice the whole night pass in the blink of an eye.

They enjoy the kisses so much until the sun rises, creating precious memories for both of them.
