“You know, I kinda wish I could find a man that gave me the same sort of life shaking reaction you both managed to get from each other,” said Sue wistfully.
“Do you really though?” asked Kamiko carefully. “No offense Sue but... you don’t really seem the type to settle down...”
Sue waved Kamiko off, “No no, you’re right. I mean... it’s really nice to imagine and if I could find someone that rings my bell all the time that’d be great. These two dopes seemed to have just stumbled into things but like... that’s the goal right there,” Sue pointed over to Kat and Lily without really looking. “I mean. Do I think it’s really in the cards for me? Probably not. I could get into why but eh, not the point.
“What I am trying to say is it’s the sort of romance that you read about, or dream about as a little girl. A bit of hardship on at least one end of things, complete acceptance from your partner. Mental connections. I mean, the only real issue is that Kat isn’t sexually attracted to anyone but she doesn’t have a tragic backstory when it comes to romance so I think it evens things out. Makes them both appreciate what they have you know?
“For Lily, she’s experienced what it’s like to love someone for years only to find out they’re a fucking garbage person. Kat on the other hand has to deal with loving somebody in a rather unique way that there isn’t exactly a great manual on. Most asexual people don’t end up falling in love, or find other asexual people to just live around. Kat’s a very small minority and she’ll be getting no help with things.
“These might sound like negatives, and they are of course, but love isn’t easy. I should know. It’s pretty easy for me to get a good fuck from anybody straight and unattached. It’s great fun, I doubt I’ll be giving it up any time soon but it isn’t love. I don’t really know if I could find love through having ALL the sex.”
“Hang on,” Kamiko interrupted, “didn’t you hype up that one guy from your... second? Contract I think it was...”
.....
Sue waved Kamiko off, “I did but while I’d love to still be in contact with the guy I didn’t love him or anything. I mean... hmm. That is an interesting thought. COULD I love him eventually? Not sure... he’d need to get a lot stronger just so that he has the lifespan to stick around. Once again, those two are lucky little shits.”
Kat was about to respond to that when a knock came from the door. Kamiko took a quick glance at her friends, gaze lingering on Sue for a few moments before deciding it didn’t matter whoever it was. Nira was a doctor so this would be nothing. Her father only had eyes for his family and might not even notice, her sisters were out... probably. Aslena might be around but she’d have just thrown the door open. Even though she’d been nicer recently she certainly wasn’t a polite individual. Just a nicer one. “Come in!”
Trigrath was the one to push open the door with a serving cart full of plates. “Just thought you girls might like some snacks. I’ll leave these here. You can just put the cart in the hallway when you’re done with it. Nobody else who’s home will care and I can pick it up when I come past,” said Trigrath before doing as he said and exiting the door.
Kat glanced over the food not really hungry, Lily and Sue though were just staring at the food provided for them. Well, ‘food’ and ‘snacks’ were a little misleading. It was just jelly. Kat was unsurprised, she simply waited for everyone else’s responses. [Ok. I... I didn’t think it’d be like this. I remember you saying they liked jelly but this... this is silly...] Lily was right. The second level of the cart was filled with jelly cups of differing flavours and the top row was three giant jelly cakes each about the size of Kat’s head. The fact they were larger than Lily was... well it meant she was probably right about them having a problem.
“Kamiko...” said Sue slowly, “just... just... why?”
As Sue was struggling to come to terms with what the heck was going on Kamiko had already grabbed the closest jelly cake and taken a big bite out of it. “What? It’s good jelly!” said Kamiko thinking Sue meant why she was grabbing a whole cake for herself.
“No I mean... why is there so much jelly in general?” Kamiko gave Sue a very confused look. “Why are you looking at me like that? I don’t dislike jelly, in fact I think it’s quite nice but... but there is a limit Kamiko. How are we supposed to eat all this?”
Kamiko’s confused face intensified. “I don’t understand. This can all easily be eaten by just me if necessary. I thought taking a jelly cake for myself would be fine and we could split the rest.”
Sue turned to face Kat and gave her an ‘are you seeing this’ look. Kat returned with her best ‘I don’t see the problem’ face she could. Sue pouted at the lacking reaction from Kat and said, “Kamiko. Your family are weird. You have a problem.”
Kamiko, having already finished the first plate of jelly frowned and considered it for a few seconds. “I don’t think so? I mean, the jelly we by is nutritionally balanced so we’re not doing ourselves any damage in the long run, which is already quite hard for demons. We eat a lot of it but while it is nutritionally balanced so we can eat as much as we want it’s not particularly nutrient rich. I’m confused as to where the problem is.”
“Kat back me up on this please,” Kat shook her head to Sue’s pleas. “Oh come on. Seriously you’re a Succubus not a Devourer. Do you guys have gluttony demon heritage?”
Kamiko shrugged, “I mean maybe? I think we have a cousin that’s married to one but that wouldn’t really matter for my part of the family I don’t think. It’s pretty much my whole family as well. Mother’s side. Well, Dad also really likes it but the rest of his family is... I don’t want to call them normal but they don’t eat any more jelly than your average demon.”
While Sue was struggling to find things to say ‘Lily’ asked, “Hey is it possible for Succubi to get fat?” Lily already knew based on Kat’s description of other demons it was possible for them at least, but she just couldn’t picture a Succubus having weight issues.
Sue turned to the pair not sure who to glare at, Kat for repeating the words, or Lily for asking the question. It was a clear attempt to get off the topic and Sue wasn’t totally sure she wanted to go along with it. When Kamiko started to pile jelly cups on her previously empty plate Sue decided she wanted the distraction. “Sort of” said Sue firmly.
“How can you ‘sort of’ get fat?” asked ‘Lily’.
Sue glanced at Kamiko, wondering if she’d pick up the question considering Nira’s occupation than Sue realised that was a silly thought. Kamiko was off with the jelly fairies and not coming back any time soon. “It’s a little complicated and also depends on what you mean by ‘fat’ exactly,”
Sue picked up her boobs and let them drop dramatically making sure their movement was as clear as possible, “These right here are basically all fat. So obviously it’s possible to get some fat on you. Plus,” Sue turned to the side and slapped her ass, “that’s a second set of fat storage. So already the answer is a bit complicated.” Sue fell back down flat on the pillows, “Then you start thinking about ‘overweight’ and things are just as complicated there. It’s not possible for us to get any diseases relating to excess fat like other races and most of the extra weight a Succubus might gain comes in the form of strange abilities like denser muscles and bones, or just bones made out of metal.
“Still that isn’t what you’re asking and it all comes down to the fact there are no ugly Succubi. The reason for this is that all Succubi have a sort of auto correct feature where they start to shift towards a form that they find is sexier. Not sure how it’ll work with Kat because... well you know, so that’ll be interesting. The thing to note is it isn’t more comfortable, or beautiful. It is specifically sex appeal.
“There are limits though. It’s not a proper ability so I won’t suddenly believe having pink hair like Kamiko is the sexiest thing and then wake up with pink hair. Same with height. Your bones won’t change from this. Even muscle can only change so much. It’s mostly skin and fat deposits. You’ll notice that my ass isn’t all that noticeable but I’ve got these,” Sue gestured at her chest, “It’s because I think of myself as sexier with larger tits.”
