It's a little weird, walking beside Seph. Going into school with her, all eyes on us. Not because I'm ashamed to be seen with her, nor because of any reluctance to be so public about things between us, but just because of how dreamlike it feels.
'We got English together at second period, right?' she says, coming to a halt at the central clearing around which all of the main buildings orbit. I'll never tire of her voice, effortlessly sultry, feminine yet possessing of a gravelly intonation. 'Guess I'll see you then?'
Sephalla looks momentarily awkward, unsure of what to do. Drop-dead gorgeous as always, with her punk-goth chic, all those dark colours complementing her dark blue fur and that ever-vibrant mane of azure fire. Her cropped jacket is some kind of false leather -- leather being a bit of an unpleasant concept in Wildenarth -- with metal studs across the shoulders, and a general threatening vibe about it. Beneath the jacket is a perennially tight t-shirt -- I don't think it's possible to have one that isn't, given the sheer size of her breasts -- that rides up to hint at beautiful belly definition, and those characteristic jeans shorts which bulge at the crotch, the leggings torn off for the sake of style just below her groin.
To look up at her -- I always have to, given the massive disparity in our sizes -- is mostly to get an eyeful of gigantic titty, of which I'll doubtless get a faceful later. But then there's her piercing beauty, anthropomorphic equid pseudo-muzzle, backwards-facing horns and eyes like molten coals. Hair like living azure flame, a "mane" with a mind of its own, contributing that fringe she so often has to knock aside. Full womanly lips, lacquered in metallic black, horse-like snout ending in lustrous darkness. And for all her size and strength, the delicious demoness has a blush to her cheeks. Faint, but I know what to look for.
'What are you staring at, loser?'
'I don't know, some foal-bearing babe from another world?'
Seph rolls her eyes and gently prods my side, strong even with nothing more than the poking of a finger. 'Easy. It's my turn to be dominant, remember?'
'Yeah, yeah.' I pull on her hand, all the same. 'Can your good boy get a goodbye kiss, at least?'
The naughty nightmare glances about us, at the wave of students passing along, some of them staring at our curious pairing. A human male, just about average height, and an infernal horse, halfway to nine feet tall. A curious pairing indeed, by size alone.
'Here, really?'
'Really. Unless you're ashamed of being with me?'
Sephalla sighs, rolling those coal fires again. 'Little guilt tripping midget, jeez.' She scoops me up with a single hand against my waist, easy as can be, and brings me up to face level to a background chorus of adolescent cooing and jeering. 'You're lucky I like you so much, loser.'
Mwah. Smooch.
And with that kiss, all is established. No more hiding, no more masking the connection between us. This gorgeous demoness, my former bully, is now my kinky goth girlfriend. Her lips are sweet and smoky, luscious against my own. Her touch is gentle although, given the changes to my physiology wrought by her delicious demonic dick milk, she can afford to be quite a bit rougher.
'Happy?' Sephalla says, an eyebrow raised, as she breaks the kiss. 'Everyone can talk about us all day, now. That's what you wanted, I guess?'
'I just wanted to kiss my favourite person, Mistress.'
Seph's blush darkens, grows rich upon her cheeks. 'I fucking love you saying that, but I will pop a boner if you say it again. I don't mind people realising how ridiculously hung I am, but if you want everyone to be picturing you stuffed like a cream doughnut, you're going the right way about it. Maybe dial back on the PDAs?'
Smooch. Mwah.
I kiss her lustrous black-lacquered lips and Seph matches the affection, brief yet brilliant. When the touch ends, I nod. Something tells me the boldness is, like much of her ways, something of a mask. She doesn't really want people seeing her full "endowment."
'Anything for you. Not like I plan to share that cock, anyway.'
She exhales, smoke and flame. 'That doesn't help. Down you go.'
Sephalla barely resists the urge to push me, the very moment she sets me back on the floor. While being at such height was pleasant, the sense of tallness an interesting change of scenery given just how towering my lovely inferno is, it's a lot easier to blend in down here. The shift gives me a suggestion of how noticeable Seph must always be, overshadowing pretty much everyone except maybe the minotaurs and dragons.
'Second period,' I say, giving her thigh a pat. 'I love you.'
'Yeah, yeah. Go be soft elsewhere, loser.'
But the way she passingly grabs my shoulder as we set off in separate directions says perfectly well what she can't quite manage with her tongue. Not with her tongue's capacity for language, that is. She can certainly tell me how she feels by using it on other ways, though it's probably better that I don't pop a boner of my own in so public an environment.
I do my best not to glance back and watch her as I walk away, and it warms my heart to see that Sephalla, for all her moodiness, does the same. Two idiots, of different breeds, but we're on the same level where it matters. Only that I smile back, and Seph pretends to be looking elsewhere, quickly averting her gaze from me. Honestly, I kind of love that she does. It makes those moments of actual affection that much sweeter.
When I sit down at tutor time and our lazy elf tutor, Greilan Sayvlir, has us all read while he browses the internet and gorges on Earthling data for the first half an hour of the day, I find myself beset by more than a passing stare. Liz, in particular, can't seem to hold back.
'Jake, what are you doing with Sephalla?' she says. One by one, heads turn my way. The mousy brunette begins to squint, narrowing her gaze as she studies mine. 'What...what did she do to your eyes?! Is she mind-controlling you?'
'What? No. She's my girlfriend, that's all.'
The resulting chatter would provoke anger from just about any teacher I've ever had, but Mr Sayvlir is peak not-giving-a-shit. Liz's face contorts into a show of concern, distaste, which promptly leads to a quivering lip. But she's not the one who talks next. That honour goes to Jamie, the kind of moron who initially tried to bully nonhumans for being different until that proved -- shock fucking horror -- an impossibility given that even if he were six-foot-eight (and he's barely six foot) a human would still find themselves completely hopeless in raw physicality. It doesn't help that he's something of a moron.
'You're a species traitor,' he says, bitterness finding unfavourable ears, but not prompting the kind of outburst it might if I were with an elf, or a lamia, or something. 'I bet you're her bottom-bitch, huh?'
Nobody seems to stop his nonsense, and I merely shrug. 'A bit of both? But it's not really for me to say. You're just jealous you can't pull a girl half the quality of my nightmare.'
Before the idiot manages to speak again, Liz shakes her head. 'How could you go out with her after what she did, Jake? Sephalla's a monster.'
Which Jamie naturally approves of, without actually understanding what she means. And what she means is actually completely fair, given what Seph put me through. What she will, in one way or another, spend a great long time making up for. Which I know eats at her, in those darker moments. A mistake that shouldn't have happened.
'She's not so bad,' I say. 'She's just...Seph. But why's it matter to you, anyway?'
Liz blushes faintly. 'I didn't tell a soul how I found you.' More whispers, more chatter. Today's going to be the day that a thousand rumours are born, but fuck it. 'You can do better. Much better.'
'And I'm glad that you did, but that's the past. This is different. Sephalla's been an idiot, but she's a lot more than that.' I shake my head, smiling simply. 'I forgive her. I don't care what people think of me for that.'
Liz grimaces. 'I'm going to tell the Headmistress. This needs to be investigated.'
'What? Why?'
'Because you're a filthy species-slut!' Jamie shouts, to nothing but murmurs.
Mr Sayvlir still doesn't bother to react.
'Not that,' Liz says. 'She's controlling you, Jake. What she did...the mess you were in...'
I shrug. 'If she were controlling me, I doubt she'd do half the things she does, Liz. Given that I know her better than you do, it's probably best that you don't assume anything.'
'And your eyes? That's proof of some kind of spell, or curse!'
Chatter, chatter, chatter. I sigh. 'Look, this is going to be a little bit TMI, but the only reason my eyes are like this is because I've got a soft spot for the taste of nightmare jism. That's all.'
Definitely too much information, but fuck if it doesn't feel liberating to make the comment. To hear the whispers, the budding rumours, to watch as Jamie's face contorts and sours because as much as a woman and a man, cocks irrelevant, is a straight relationship, that kind of hateful rat simply can't help but view things through a mistaken homophobic lens as well.
But Liz? Liz just continues to frown. 'She did something to your head!'
'Yeah? She put her dick in it. So what? Why can't I have a relationship with Sephalla without people going off? I love her, that's that. Deal with it. Fuck.'
I get the vague feeling that Liz is jealous, jealous of Sephalla. And maybe once, the mousy brunette would've been appealing, but compared to my nightmare? No way. Everyone else comes a distant last. And fuck, the upset it causes, that it's public knowledge. The kiss, and now my own -- admittedly, a touch haphazard -- announcement about the kind of things I've been doing with my dickgirl demoness, become the background noise of the day.
Leading to Sephalla prodding me firmly in the ribs when we sit down for English class.
'You just couldn't help yourself, could you?' she says, glaring side-on, nostrils smoking. 'People keep asking me if I've brainwashed you. Two girls and a boy propositioned me for blowjobs because they think your eyes look cool. Gods damn it, Jake.'
