Today I bring to you another story from LFN Park.  This one takes place parallel to the Bubbles/Mitsuko story that has begun to unfold over the last couple of builds.

POTENTIAL SPOILERS AHEAD!!!

Maki stirred slowly as she felt the bed sag. Heavy eyelids peeked open, registering a massive, dark shape now sitting at the foot of the bed, the moonlight in the window faintly illuminating it as her eyes adjusted.

“Bubbles?” She murmured, sitting up slowly. Her hands felt for the familiar giantess beside her, but found no body next to her. Maki pulled the covers aside, one hand rubbing her eyes for a moment. As they came into focus, she recognized the caramel muscles of her lover at the foot of the bed, her nightgown tossed to the floor. Maki smiled for a moment, but it quickly turned to a frown as she saw the trembling in her firm shoulders and the soft sounds coming from her.

“Bubbles…” Maki crawled across the bed, coming up to the side of the giantess. Now she could see her head hanging low, tears shining in the moonlight slowly sliding down her darkened cheeks as one hand held her eyepatch.

“What happened?” She slid her arms around Bubbles neck, pressing her head against hers. The larger woman didn’t answer, her arms instinctively wrapping around Maki’s olive form desperately. Maki let the silence linger for several minutes, one hand gently running through Bubbles fiery hair.

“Was it Mitsuko again?” Maki could hardly keep the steel from her voice.

“I’m...not human. I’m...I’m just--” Bubbles sobbed softly, her voice almost lost in the moonlight.

“What’d she say? What did that bitch say?” Maki growled, her arm tightening possessively around Bubbles.

“The truth.” Bubbles groaned. “I’m a monster.”

“I swear; I’ll tear her god damn tongue out. To hell with John--”

“Stop.” Bubbles hand gently cupped Maki’s cheek, ceasing her angry words. “It won’t change anything. What I’ve done….I wanted to forget…. Pretend it didn’t happen. All those people….” 

“What happened? Please, love...tell me.” Maki pleaded, her hand gently wiping the tears from Bubbles scarred cheek.

“I know Dragon. I remember now.” Bubbles gulped, trying to steady her shaky voice. “I fought him….he was the first I fought after Gregory died. Mitsuko knew him…respected, maybe cared for him.”

“...You killed him…” Maki sighed, eyes closing for a moment.

“No. I….I didn’t want to fight. I wanted….I wanted it over.” Bubbles hesitated, closing her eye as the memory of the fight came back. “I was hurting...I missed Gregory. Dragon came out….I just wanted the fight over. So...I-I broke him, Maki, and left him. So much blood….I smashed his head until..until he stopped moving. I-I broke his mind…like Tanya.” Maki felt her heart skip a beat, her breath catching in her throat.

“I did that, Maki. Oh god….” Bubbles buried her face into Maki’s shoulder as she started sobbing again. “How many others did I break? I know I killed...but this? This is worse.” 

The olive woman rocked the giantess gently as she trembled against her, one hand rubbing the back of her neck. Pangs of sorrow rocked her as she felt tears sting her own eyes, unable to think of what to do to assuage her pain.

“I can say it’s not your fault, my love. You were different then. I can say you’re not a monster; I truly believe that. If you were a monster, this wouldn’t hurt as much as it does.” Maki placed her hands gently on Bubbles cheeks, bringing her bleary gaze to her own as her voice cracked with emotion.

“I know it won’t matter what I say or believe…just know I love you. It doesn’t matter what you did before. Nothing matters but you and I.”

“I’ve hurt so many…including you. My love.” Bubbles rested her forehead against Maki’s, her hot breath tickling her nose.

“I don’t care.” Maki stated fiercely. “I love you so much, Bubbles...Tell me how I can help you.”

The giantess sniffled for a moment, catching her breath. She stared into Maki’s loving eyes for a few moments, feeling a dull warmth in her cheeks. 

Bubbles pressed forward, engulfing Maki’s lips with her own. Maki moaned against her softly, hands traveling down to her caramel neck as she ran her tongue over Bubbles in a sensual dance.

She broke the kiss after a few moments with a pant, her single blue orb locked with Maki’s soft smile.

“I-I want...to feel good. Please. My savior…” She breathed, her rough palm caressing Maki’s smooth cheek. She smiled, giving Bubbles a deep kiss that elicited a fluttering sigh from the caramel giantess before she began nipping gently at her neck.

“Anything for you.”
