D.E.M.O.N.S: Getting Summoned Weekly isn't so Bad

Chapter 595: Soothing Silly Suspicions

When breakfast had finished and Kat saw no sign of Lily… nothing happened. It wasnʼt unusual or strange in the slightest. Lily wasnʼt known for waking up early like Vivianʼs household and even then, getting up, showering, and walking around to Vivianʼs house was simply too much effort in Lilyʼs mind for a better breakfast. Callisto was a great cook, but didnʼt really have the chance to flex overly much for breakfast so if there was a meal to take elsewhere that was the one.

However, when Kat was nibbling on a sandwich slice that had been shoved into her hands to stop her from wringing them, Kat might have been willing to admit she was starting to worry. Maybe. It wasnʼt as though she hadnʼt gone longer without seeing Lily, heck just recently while on she was summoned to other worlds it was sometimes over a week away. The difference was that it was always Kat that was more at risk.

The rest of the house politely ignored Katʼs clear angst. They didnʼt need to guess what had Kat so worked up, and while Vivian was slightly concerned herself, Sylvie trusted Lily was smart enough to escape to their house if necessary and Callisto was unconcerned. She knew very well the signs one should look for when dealing with… questionable… parents and despite Evalineʼs clear distaste for Kat, Callisto didnʼt think she was actually a bad parent and as such wasnʼt worried about Lilyʼs lack of appearance.

At some point Kat started to use her expanded hearing. Something she mostly ignored on Earth and wasnʼt all that effective anyway. The noise pollution was considerable and with the suppression of demonic energy it was hard to focus on just one spot. So really all this did was assault Katʼs ears with countless additional sounds few of which she could make any sense of at all increasing the pressure on her mind and not helping her worries at all.

So when the doorbell rang Kat practically teleported to the door to open it. The house would thank the fact she brought her wings out to fly up and over things in her way as that saved her feet going straight through the floor when she started to move. Kat opened the door swiftly and as soon as the door opened, she scooped Lily up into a hug.

Lily found her cheeks hitting up just slightly at how forward Kat was being. This didnʼt feel like one of her normal hugs, this was a lot more possessive and Lily decided she had no complaints. ”Um… Hi? Whatʼs the rush?” asked Lily

Kat felt her own cheeks heating up as she realised how silly she was being when Lily answered so calmly. ”Sorry” mumbled Kat directly into Lilyʼs hair, shifting it slightly and tickling her ears. Lily didnʼt know what Kat was apologising for but whatever it was, Kat was certainly forgiven because this was awesome.

Still, it was probably a good idea to ask what she was forgiving Kat for. Just to know… mostly so sheʼd have some idea of how often this sort of thing would happen. ”What for?”

”Mostly for just leaving you with your mother… and maybe your dad later as well… I dunno. I know it was best I left, so you could have a calmer conversation but I still kind of feel bad about leaving” mumbled Kat, tikling Lilyʼs ear some more.

It actually took a couple of seconds for Lily to stop enjoying the moment and remember she was supposed to respond. ”Oh,” was the ʼintelligentʼ response she managed for the first few seconds as her brain reboot. ”No… no it was fine. I mean, my conversation with my mother was fine. Not painless, but fine. My father… well I just threw it in as he was heading to bed and I know he didnʼt really pay attention but I spent like…”

Lily tried to add up how long the conversation was while removing that section where she was completely dazed thinking about what Kat liked about her. Her thoughts threatened to return to those questions but feeling Katʼs arms around her drove them away just as quickly as they appeared. So Lilyʼs mind returned to trying to work out how long she spent talking to her mother… but it was hard. It wasnʼt like sheʼd checked a clock right when they started. ”At least an hour? Probably more?” was her best guess in the end. ”It was fine though Kat. Really Iʼm fine. I donʼt mind that you left. Why would you think thatʼs something that would bother me?”

Kat bit her lip and hesitated. *Do I really want to explain my strange worries? I donʼt know if I should or not… then again itʼs probably better to discuss this sort of thing.* Swapping her hold Kat traded a hug for a princess carry and pulled Lily upstairs to her bedroom so that they could chat. With the others around the house Kat didnʼt really want them overhearing her lack of knowledge, while she knew Lily wouldnʼt mind. *In fact sheʼll probably enjoy explaining it to me. She loves to chat about topics sheʼs researched.*

When they got to Katʼs room, Kat set Lily down carefully on the side of the bed and said, ”Look, I know itʼs kind of weird but I… hmm… how do I want to explain this…” Kat tapped the side of her mouth with her tail. ”Ok, stop me if this sounds strange but… Iʼm your girlfriend now and I know that changes thing… but Iʼm not sure about all of those things. Like… friend Kat.” Lily got a bit of a strange look in her eye but did say anything. ”She…

”Well, yesterday she would have left easily. I trust your judgement, and what happens between you and your parents wasnʼt her problem until you made it. Now though… I mean… it feels kind of callous to think this way but at the end of the day, your family business wasnʼt her business unless you wanted it to be.

”I mean, donʼt get me wrong, if youʼd asked for anything a week ago Iʼd still have said yes but now… I guess itʼs much more ʼyour problems are my problemsʼ and… I just feel like maybe I should have stuck around? Even if your mum wouldnʼt have been happy with it… weʼre that much closer to being family I guess?

”So… I… I think what Iʼm trying to say is that I want your parents to like me? Is that what Iʼm saying? Maybe but not just that.” Kat trailed off as she realised she was starting to lose the thread of her thoughts. ”So yeah. That.” Finished Kat making it clear she was done.

Lily looked up at Kat with big eyes and debated internally what to do in response. She knew what she wanted to do. She wanted to kiss Kat for that sort of question. It soothed her heart to know that Kat had different but similar ridiculous worries. In fact, she knew she was having one now. Kat had said she wasnʼt put off by kisses or the idea of sex. Kat was her girlfriend. Lily should be allowed. So she did.

Lily was already bright red by the time her hands lightly grasped the side of Katʼs face and pulled her down. When their lips met she might as well have been a neon sign in the dead of night. The kiss was awkward. Largely attributed to Lily having no idea what she was doing, and somewhat attributed to Katʼs surprise but her mind was fast enough to catch up before long. Lilyʼs mind stuttered a bit when their lips met and she pressed in a bit too hard teeth clicking together.

Of course, for Kat this was hardly any pressure at all, but somehow she instinctively recognised this wasnʼt ideal for Lily. Pulling back just a slight tad to relieve that pressure, but wrapping her arms around d Lily tightly to make sure her shorter partner knew this wasnʼt from disgust or a desire to end things. Kat let the kiss go on until Lily ended it, which was a few seconds later and felt a lot of her worries drift away.

In fact both came out happier and less worried, despite the difference in experience. For Kat it was a physical sign that she was loved. For some reason having Lily kiss her was much nicer then simply kissing Lily, if it could really be called simple. For Lily, this was one of the few kisses sheʼd initiated. It wasnʼt great, her technique was bad and even she knew it as inexperienced as she was, but her mind was just as fogged over with pleasure and her smile wasnʼt going away.

”You should kiss me more often” blurted out Kat not really thinking.

Lily though, was completely on board with that logic. ”Yes. Yes I shall”
