Love In any form
Chapter 3: Love in any form
Author's note: A word of warning: I completely f-ed up the yiff

(Sunset)
I knew it was coming, I just didn't expect it to be so sudden.
I coughed and coughed, more blood bubbling up, my teeth making clinking noises as the fell onto the tile and rapidly regrew. Patches of my white scales fell off and floated to the ground. In my mind, a million different sets of instincts were screaming at me.
"FUCK!!!!" I yelled. My voice was no longer my own, a mix of a human scream, an avian screech, a wolf's howl and a cobra's hiss. "GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!!!"
Lacyus knelt down beside me, a look of horror on his face. "Sunset, what's wrong!?! Answer me!!!"
Rykuu rushed over as well "What's going on!?!?"
"SHUT UP!!!" I howled in a warped draconian voice. "Give me an animal to focus on!!!"
"What!?!? An animal!?!?" Lacyus cried out
"JUST DO IT!!!!!"
"Ummmmmm, SNAKE!!!!"
"Good enough!!!!"
I focused all of my avalible mind power on images of snakes. Slowly my body began to change. First came the fusing of my legs and tail. It almost looked like they were zipping together and streaching out to about ten feet long. My muzzle shortened and and broadened and my wings turned into a hood. My teeth changed and I grew a pair of wicked fangs with a green liquid dropping off the ends of them. My mind quieted and finally my scales went from white and gold to ruby red and black. I collapsed to the ground, panting. All in all, I was sort of a patched-together snake. I had a cobra's hood, a viper's fangs and eyes and an anaconda's body.
"Oh dear gods, thank you Lacyus!" I gasped.
Lacyus turned me onto my back, his eyes full of worry. "What happened?"
"Genetic errors." I wheezed out, still catching my breath. "When I stay in a shapeshift form, my DNA starts to encounter errors as it replicates in new cells. Over time, they mount up and start to have a negative effect on my body."
"So why did they just show up now?" Rykuu knelt down too, taking my pulse and feeling for a fever.
"As shapeshifters get older, they build up resistance to the errors and they only come out when the resistance buckles. Think of it as a dam. There can't be a small flood if an entire dam bursts."
"I get it." Lacyus sighed. "You're sure you're okay?"
I smiled. "I'm fine."
"Positive?"
"A couple hours in this form and my draconic form should be safe to go back into."
I sat up and lifted a good portion of my now sinuous 12 foot body into an mostly upright posture. "Never been a snake before."
Lacyus looked me over then blushed when he got past my waist. "Ummmm, Sunset, your pants."
I looked down and realised my transformation had shredded my pants. However, my private parts were more than modest. I now had a colaca covering my labia; it was nothing more than just a barely visible slit in my tail.
"Meh, I don't think it looks too bad." I shrugged. "Kinda feel sexier though." I smiled, striking a pose.
"You have really nice curves now. " Lacyus murred, tracing his hands lightly from my chest down to my waist, where he tenderly gripped. "You're so sexy."
Rykuu sighed. "I'm going to bed early. Been pulling too many late nights lately."
"'Night." I called.
"See you in the morning."
Rykuu went upstairs, leaving Lacyus and I alone. We looked into each other's eyes deeply for a moment, then we kissed deeply. I moaned quietly as Lacyus worked my mouth, tasting my newfound venom. As we broke the kiss we looked into each other's eyes again. Suddenly my tounge flicked out without warning, hitting Lacyus in the eye. He yelped and covered his eye.
"Oh jeez, you just poked me in the eye with your tounge!" Lacyus half laughed.
"Dammit, sorry." I tried not to laugh but it escaped anyways. "You okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. Never going to be able to live up to the fact that my mate poked me in the eye with her tounge. All my friends are going to say 'Hey Lacyus, you miss your mate's mouth again?'"
I laughed. "We're never going to be an ordinary couple, are we?"
Lacyus smiled back. "No, I highly doubt that."
I decided to continue joking around. "So, are you gonna feed me or let me starve?"
"Nah. I'm gonna make sure you're nice and plump so we can have dragon stew in a couple of weeks."
I hissed playfully. "Yeah, just like you murdered me in Halo something-or-other."
"Okay, okay, you win." Lacyus said, chuckling. "I'm gonna set the table."
Lacyus had whipped up the absolute perfect peppercorn curry chicken, a traditional draconian meal. It was very spicy to those who weren't used to it. Lacyus' mother used to make it all the time for us and we would always look forward to it. It had the perfect amount of spices for the two of us. Unforutnately, as a snake, I didn't chew on food so a had to suck on the pieces to get the full flavor. In the process, I'm pretty sure that I killed 90% of the tastebuds on my tounge from the sheer heat of the spices.
After dinner, Lacyus had rented a movie and we were going to watch it when the door opened and Sarah walked through.
"Hello you WOAH!" Sarah yelped when she saw me as a snake, lounging on the couch.
"Relax, it's me." I reassured her.
Sarah let out her breath. "Okay, good. Scared me for a moment."
"So how did the date with Vash go?"
"Well, in terms of the date portion went, it was kinda medeocre. Wasn't the best dinner I ever had and the music at the club was kinda overrated. But that was the worst part."
"What about Vash himself?"
Sarah smiled warmly. "He's not the brightest bulb in the world and he's still got a huge amount to learn about pick-up lines and he's kinda clumsy, but he's got the sweetest heart I've ever seen and, I hate to say it, but I'm kinda falling for him."
"So you're giving him a second date?"
"Of course. It's not every day that you meet a guy as loving as him." Sarah shook her head. "I'm gonna hit the sack. Had one to many martinis."
I laughed. "I'll be looking forward to the hangover."
There was talking at the front door and I slithered over and opened it. On the porch, under cover from the torrential rain, Ennica and Echelon were making out, eye closed in a deep kiss. Echelon's eyes snapped open when he realized I was watching and he quickly broke the kiss. Ennica seemed a bit confused.
"Jeez, could you give us some privacy?!?!" Echelon hissed.
Ennica cocked her head. "Why? Are you only supposed to make out in private Echelon?"
Echelon blushed. "Well yeah, it's supposed to only be shared between lovers."
Ennica frowned. "That doesn't make sense. Shouldn't you be allowed to show affection for your mate in public?"
Echelon was hard pressed for an answer. "Well, ummm yeah but..."
Meanwhile, I was asking Lacyus something and he agreed. "Why don't you two come in and watch a movie. Me and Lacyus were about to."
Echelon shrugged. "I suppose."
Lacyus had finished setting up the Xbox 360 for a DVD. I slithered upstairs and came down with blankets for both Lacyus and I and Echelon and Ennica. Lacyus laid down, stretching out on the couch and I laid on top of him, lovingly wrapping some of my coils loosely around his legs. Echelon leaned back into one of the arms of another couch while Ennica just simply sat upright, not leaning in any direction. Echelon gave her a 'what are you doing' look. Lacyus popped the disc in and turned the lights down. The movie began and I cuddled up closely to Lacyus. Ennica sat almost motionless while Echelon switched bewteen watching the movie and giving Ennica longing glances. Eventually, halfway through the movie Lacyus paused it.
"I don't know about any of you guys, but I'm making some popcorn. Anybody want some?"
"I'll have some. " Ennica replied.
"Yeah, me too." I added.
Echelon got up too. "I'll go help."
Lacyus and Echelon got up and left, leaving Ennica and me alone.
"So, what do you think of the movie so far?" I asked.
"Pretty good. But I'm kinda cold."
"Why don't you cuddle with Echelon?"
"Cuddle?"
I frowned. "Cuddling is where you lean again your mate, or sit in their lap or do something to relax while in physical contact with your mate."
"I dunno." She replied. "Wouldn't he be mad if I lean on him?"
I shook my head. "Just do it. I've been watching him and it looks like he wants you to cuddle with him."

I carefully considered what Sunset had just said. I didn't want to make Echelon angry, but he had been giving me wierd looks. Echelon and Lacyus came back with two bowls of popcorn in hand. Lacyus set his infront of him and Sunset. Echelon did the same as us.
As the movie started again, I decided to throw my common sense to the wind. I started leaning in the direction of Echelon. Slowly, I began putting more wieght on him. Soon, I was totaly leaning against Echelon. Then something I didn't expect happened. Echelon lovingly wrapped his arms around me. His head bowed down to kiss me on the cheek and to murmur "I love you." into my ear.
The movie soon ended and we all went upstairs to get read for bed. Echelon managed to score a night of leave before he had to go back to the Order for another two days. We went into my room and shut the door.
"So, you never told me what you did in between when I left for the wedding." Echelon said smiling.
"Well, I'm pretty sure I told you this already but I found this little orphan panther named Amel and adopted her as my little sister. She's at a friend's sleepover right now. I've gotta pick her up tomorrow. I also started planning for tonight."
Echelon smiled as I sat in his lap. "Don't take this the wrong way, but you're the smartest soldier I've ever met, but the stupidest girl."
I giggled. "You're right. I know jack-all about the world outside the Order."
"That's why I'm gonna love every moment of teaching you about it. Oh, and my parents really want to meet you."
We sat in silence for a few moments before I broke it with a question.
"How many mates did you have before me?"
Echelon's voice became a bit nervous. "Don't take this the wrong way, but I had two."
"Really? Only two? I thought there would be more."
Echelon smiled hopefully. "First one, the chemistry just completely disappeared so we broke up mutually. Second one just was too much of a diva. She completely refused to pay for anything." Suddenly, Echelon began laying me down on the bed. "You, you seem a bit different. You just seem to be sort of a clean slate, so to speak. You don't know what you like in a guy yet, so I can see you changing every day." My face was burning from the stream of compliments. "For lack of a less corny term, you're like a blooming flower. You're still figuring out who you are too, so it's kinda neat being in love with you."
And with that, our lips met and we kissed deeply. I could feel Echelon connecting with me on our link too, gently letting my mind flow through his. It made me feel so loved to feel Echelon so close to me, both physically and in my heart.

Sunset and I had just finished brushing our teeth and getting ready for bed. Sunset was naked and had her hood folded back. She was laying in bed, her coils stretched out as I finished up my nightly exercises. 50 push-ups followed by 50 sit-ups followed by 100 deep squats. I finished my last squat before laying in bed with Sunset wrapping around me and pulling up the covers. Her tounge flicked out again and I dodged it this time. As usual, she tucked her head into the crook of my neck, striving for the warmth that was there.
"I love you Lacyus."
"I love you too Sunset."
Sunset wrapped her arms around me and gently hugged me. "I'm so sorry for forgetting our anniversary."
I sighed. "I already told you, it's okay. Why are you so upset?"
Sunset's already ruby red scales flushed even redder. "I forgot our anniversary. That's unnacceptable."
"Quit trying to hide it. If there's something bothering you, I promise I will try and help."
"I'm just scared of loosing you." Sunset whispered hoarsely. "I don't want you to leave. I'm the one that made that mistake of calling you a darkling and making you break up with me. I'm the one who came crawling back when I started to get depressed. I'm the one that just started bawling her eyes out when she thought her mate was ignoring her. You've done nothing to deserve it. You've loved me. You've offered friendship and I took it and never gave you back anything. You've always been there to comfort me when I'm upset and I cry. You're always the one I turn to for attention and sexual pleasure. You've proposed to be my husband and I took it without thinking of what kind of wife I'd be."
I hugged her back and reassuringly stroked her back. "Everything I've done for you, I've done for a reason Sunset. It's because I feel the same way as you. We both care about each other more than the norm. We're not just simple friends like we were before. We are in love for a reason and we both know it. If I didn't love and trust you, why would I let you cuddle up to me in bed?"
Sunset shook her head.
"If I didn't love you, why would I get down on my knee and ask you to marry me?"
Sunset shook her head again.
"There. You're the entire world to me, you just don't seem to see it. Every kiss, every hug, every look, every moment we spend together I cherish. You always seem to surprise me with new ways of loving me. But you are somewhat right. There are some things I just don't trust you with yet. I think you deserve to know one thing though for 'fessing up without a fight."
"What's that Lacyus?" Sunset gently pulled her muzzle out of my neck so she could look at me.
"Well.... You know how, as pups, Mira would always sleep in our room when there was a lightening storm?"
Sunset nodded. "She was just doing it for the hell of it right?"
I shook my head. "Not quite. You see...... I'm......I'm......I'm, ummm, kinda... I kinda have a fear of lightening and thunder. When we were really young, before I found you, Mira was struck by lightening. Ever since then, I've been scared it would happen to me." There was a flash outside and I flinched. The thunder followed and I jumped at that too.
Sunset's face filled with worry. "You are?"
I nodded sheepishly. "It's better when you're in bed with me."
Sunset buried her head in my neck again. "So I mean that much to you?"
I nodded. "You always will."

Echelon and I were cuddling in bed when I finally decided to finish up the night. I was wearing nothing but my bra and some PJ pants with nothing underneath.
"Echelon."
"Yeah?"
"I think you earned yourself a mating." I got up. "I bought some stuff just to make it a bit more interesting."
Echelon raised an eyebrow. "Oh? This I wanna see."
I opened the drawer of the night stand and pulled out a tube of lubricant and some golf-ball sized beads.
Echelon smiled. "Do you know how to use those beads?"
I shook my head. "I was hoping you'd know."
"I do. Take you clothes off and lay down with your crotch facing me."
I did and Echelon began licking my pussy. I arched and moaned, reaching down to firmly rub my clit. Echelon began lubing up the beads, coating them evenly. He licked my clit and his sandpaper tounge sent a jolt up my spine that left me motionless. Suddenly, Echelon began pushing the bead into my tailhole. The pain was overshadowed by the sheer pleasure. The second bead popped in and I yowled in pleasure. The third and fourth went in and Echelon stopped licking.
I looked up. "Why did you stop?"
"Cause, I have a better idea. Get on your knees."
I did. Curiously, I reached back and pulled on the ring that was on the end of the string of beads but Echelon stopped me.
"Not yet. I'll pull those out later."
And with that, Echelon thrust into my wet pussy, making me yowl. His cock's spines flared outwards and I cried out at the extra stimulation. Unfortunately, it wasn't going to last. The oral sex from before had me already on edge.
"Oh Echelon! I'm gonna, ah, I'm gonnanaaaa!"
I cried out as I hit my climax. Suddenly, I was driven higher by Echelon pulling out one of the beads. Soon the second came, then the third, then the final bead. I collasped on my side, warm and tired and happy.
"Gods, that was amazing Echelon." I panted.
"I still haven't cum in you yet."
And with that, Echelon began to thrust again, causing me to moan again. He came quickly, sending little aftershocks up my spine as he filled me with his cum.
