Chapter 10

I woke up in the mid afternoon, my sleep filled with warm sweet dreams. Something warm and soft was spread over me, and I was nestled next to a very warm breathing body. All of me felt sticky, and the room smelled of sex. My mouth tasted like it was filled with cotton. I quickly realized that I had fallen asleep under Luna’s wing, and was cuddled up to her body. Memories of the night before came rushing back and I pressed into her side comfortably. I was confident that she wouldn’t mind my erection this time.

Luna was watching the ending credits for her game, humming happily to herself. I was briefly worried about the state of the bed. We’d thrown the sheets and covers to the floor in the night, and I had been kept warm by Luna’s embrace. Looking at the state of disarray the rest of the room was in, I decided the bed was a problem for later me.

Luna noticed me stirring, “I have won! Huzzah!”

“Mmm...” I grunted in sleepy affirmation.

She continued to watch the screen as she spoke to me,“It’s most satisfying to be victorious. And yet, I am sad that the game is finished. What shall I play next?”

I continued to squint through blurry eyes, “mmm...”

“It’s indeed a question worth pondering.” She sounded thoughtful, “I enjoyed this game immensely, and yet there is a deliciously appealing medley of games available. Shall I continue the same series?”

The next game in the series floated in front of my head, filling up my blurry vision.

“Or should I try something new?”

Suddenly, all I could see was random games floating about.

“Mhm?”

“I do not know myself. I was hoping you would have insight.” She smiled hopefully at me.

Reluctantly, I crawled out from under her wing and gave the floating games a serious look. I decided to pick a good adventure game that was a little more hack and slash for her. I found one with a green hooded hero and a small twinkling faerie. There was a horse on the cover, so I figured she might enjoy that. “Zelda. You’ll like this one. Takes a different console though.”

“Oh! I remember this character. It is the character I used in Super Smash Brothers.” She took the game and fondly turned the case around.

I’d forgotten. She’d played Link before we had our fight. She carefully put the game down and looked at me. “May we… play again?”

I couldn’t deny her when she asked like that. But first, I was gross. “Yeah. We can do that. I need a shower though.”

She seemed timid for some reason. “That is understandable. Would you like my assistance, Sire?”

I remembered the bet. Squinting at the clock, I saw that still had about twelve hours to go. “Only if you want to, Luna. I can clean myself, but I don’t mind your company.”

Luna put the chosen game to the side, and nearly instantly shelved the rest with her magic.“I shall attend you then.” She hopped up happily out of bed.

I went to the bathroom and made her wait for a few minutes while I took care of my morning business. Once I was done, I climbed into the shower and turned it on, calling for her, “You can come in if you want now.”

She stepped quickly through the door and walked to the edge of the shower to sit down and watch me. It didn’t unnerve me anymore, not like it had before. Whatever she was thinking about I wouldn’t be upset. Still, I was curious, so I asked her, “Why do you like watching me shower?”

She sounded excited when she spoke, “Your fur less body is odd. Seeing it wet is strange. The water cascades down you like a duck!”

I stopped lathering shampoo and turned to look at her, “You like to watch me because I look like a duck?”

“Indeed.” She said confidently. Then she blushed a little, “It’s also enjoyable to watch you groom.”

“Right...” Luna was weird, “You know you’re kind of a pervert, right?”

“Please.” She frowned. “You do me a disservice.” She then smiled widely. “I am obscenity itself. Mere perversions quake in my presence.”

Yeah, after last night I was inclined to agree with her. I chuckled, “What have I got myself into?”

Luna continued to ogle me while I showered, “Whatever fun you are willing to explore.”

“Whatever fun, huh?” I let my mind wander before I fell on a question. “Hey, so… do you find me, you know, attractive?”

Luna giggled. “There is a certain exotic air about you I suppose.” Then she smugly continued, “However, I couldn’t tell if you were attractive.” She stuck her nose snobbishly up in the air, “I know not your human standards.”

Touche. I guess that’s what I’d told her earlier in slightly different words. It did kind of hurt hearing it, but I figured I deserved it, “So… why are you willing to, you know, do what we did last night with me then?”

“I’m unconcerned with trivialities. If we wish to have fun, we shall.” So she was a hedonist then. “Of course, that is as long as we are both in agreement.” A moralistic hedonist.

I thought about her behavior, and it all made sense in a way. She liked anything that brought her pleasure—food, games, sex, anything. It really didn’t matter to her. As long as it didn’t upset either of us and felt good, she was for it. “Are you always like this? It seems a strange way for a goddess to behave.”

Luna sounded thoughtful, as though she was remembering something, “I… may have been known to engage in long and wild bacchanals. This is the first since my return. And while it is abnormal, it is not the strangest.”

I thought I knew that word, “Uhh… Isn’t that like an orgy or something?”

Luna seemed momentarily offended, but quickly decided to educate me instead of getting angry, “No. An orgy is a congregation of ponies engaged in group sex. While an orgy may happen, it is not the goal. The goal is to fully enjoy myself in the company of others. Be it with drink, food, or activities. While this is perhaps the smallest bacchanal that I have engaged in, I assure you, it does qualify.” Luna smiled broadly.

That didn’t sound quite right to me, but I wasn’t going to argue with her about it. She seemed to know what she was talking about. I thought about it some more before I had another question, “Did you come here looking for a bacchanal?”

“I did not. I came here for a vacation.” She thought some more, “But I now remember earlier feats of excess. And we both desired the others company. Now the bacchanal is something that is happening inside the vacation, as an orgy may happen within a bacchanal.” Luna raised an eyebrow at me, “I am pleased with this.”

I thought about her being intimate with other people, humans like myself and aliens like her. I didn’t like it. It kind of made me queasy. “I’m not sure I want this to become an orgy.”

She laughed in amusement, “I am conscious of your desires. Worry not, I shall seek no others for merrymaking. The goal is enjoyment, not jealousy.”

I sighed and felt a little relieved at that.

Her laugh died down, and her voice got contemplative, “Although, I would advise you against attending should I decide to host an official bacchanal. I do not believe your emotions would fare well.”

I felt a little less relieved. I decided not to think about it. I asked a question to change the topic, “So, what are you going to do when your vacation is over?”

Her answer was short, “I shall return and relieve Twilight of my duties.”

Suddenly, I was worried, “So what will I do?” I hadn’t given serious consideration to the future yet. I’d had a few ideas, but nothing I’d fully thought out.

Luna frowned and looked at me curiously, “That is for me to ask you. What shall you do? I will not stay forever.”

“I… Don’t know. I was kind of thinking...” I paused, was that what I really wanted? I guess it didn’t matter what I really wanted, “That maybe I’d hang with you.”

Luna was silent for a moment, thinking.

“You know, part of you seemed to want to keep me, and I don’t really have anything going on here anymore.” I mumbled, “Or ever.”

Luna was deathly serious when she spoke, “Doth thee still desire to hurt thyself?”

I had to think about it. I didn’t want to, but I couldn’t push it off anymore. Not with her asking me like that, “Not so much I guess.” Things sucked outside. The world sucked. My family sucked. But I felt like I sucked a lot less, and Luna certainly didn’t suck. Unless I asked.

She was silent for a while, thinking before she spoke, “We must discuss thy fate.”

I stumbled, trying to find the words. I guess I was asking if she’d take me with her, “I just figured I’d, you know, go with you.”

Luna’s answer was quick and final, “While the nightmare was fine making thee into a pet, we are not. We must refuse.”

I should have known better. But I still had thought that maybe she would take me, “Oh. So what then? Are you going to leave me?” I wasn’t happy, but I understood.

Luna wistfully spoke, “Eventually. But not forever. We are not thy guardian, nor will we be thy patron. We are, however, happy to be thy friend.”

Friends normally didn’t do what we did. But then again, she was a hedonist, and I didn’t really have a problem with it either, “But, like, friends with benefits, right?”

She giggled, “Indeed. Many benefits.”

It wasn’t a terrible situation, “So, What am I going to do?”

Luna smirked at me, “Whatever thou desires. Just know that if things get difficult, thee hast a friend who is a deity. A deity of night, of dark, and occasionally of terror.”

I guess that did make me feel better about things. The world could suck all it wanted. I had a literal god of darkness as a friend, “When are you planning on leaving, anyways?”

Luna waved dismissively, “We still have many moons before Twilight grows concerned. We shall decide then to continue our vacation or to return home. If we return, we shall visit frequently. We should like to stay current with thine games.” And then she bared a predatory grin, “And the benefits of course.”

I pondered that. So she could be around for a while then. I was okay with that. I could wait to decide my future.

I really needed to figure out how long a moon was.
