The campus was still as Ethan, Penny, and Alice trudged through the entrance gates, their breath visible in the crisp November air. The PRL match had kept them out late, the walkways still covered in undisturbed snow. Alice, hands deep in her pockets for warmth, turned to them with a tired smile.
“Alright, I’m beat. Goodnight, guys,” she said, waving as she split off toward her dorm.
“Night, Alice,” Ethan called after her. Penny echoed the sentiment, looping her arm through Ethan’s, the two of them heading toward his room, Penny still excited from the match.
As they walked through the quiet hallways, Penny began to whisper, her voice still animated as she relived the day’s match. “Did you see that final play? I mean, I still can’t believe Ironclad pulled off that streak at the end, he was alone against those forge knights and still managed to get hits in. And the way Shadowfang managed to counter the sword wielding knight, great sword to great sword, his footwork was incredible! I was on the edge of my seat the whole time.”
Ethan chuckled, unlocking his door and holding it open for her. “Yeah, I may have to lighten up on the Shadowfang trash talk for the near future. I think they’ve got some new tricks up their sleeves, I don’t think we saw everything they had tonight. I have to wonder how Ironclad would have fared if they hadn’t slipped up and lost their support early, that really cost them the entire match.”
Inside, the small room felt cozy, the faint tings of the radiator creaking breaking the quiet. Clothes were shed down to underwear as they climbed into Ethan’s narrow bed, the familiar squeaks of the mattress settling beneath them. They cuddled, heads propped on pillows, the dim light from a street lamp through the window casting soft shadows across the room.
Their conversation drifted to Grace and how she was fitting in with the team. Penny’s brow furrowed slightly as she spoke. “Do you think Grace will want a bond soon? It already feels like she’s a part of the team, but...”
Ethan sighed, running a hand through his hair. “I don’t know. She’s hard to read sometimes. I’ve tried to get a sense of where she stands, but she keeps her cards close on the topic. She’s brought it up a few times, I’ve made sure that she understands that taking her time isn’t a problem.”
Penny bit her lip, her fingers tracing idle circles on his chest. “What if she never wants one? Do we ... do we replace her with someone who does? I mean, how would we even go about looking for someone like that?”
Ethan’s gaze drifted to the ceiling, thoughtful. “It’s not simple. A Bond isn’t just about the team dynamic, it’s personal. I don’t think that the sexual aspect of it is what’s holding Grace up, though. I think it’s the commitment. I don’t think it’s going to be like with Mei, where she came around to the idea pretty quickly. We’ve known her longer than Grace in a lot of ways.”
The mention of Mei shifted the tone of their talk. Penny propped herself up on an elbow, her curiosity piqued. “Speaking of Mei, how have things been with her lately? I mean, with the whole ... Essence thing and all.”
Ethan frowned, his voice quieter. “It’s ... fine, I guess. We’ve fallen into a routine. When we generate Essence to Imbue, it’s very clinical. Like, no emotion, just getting the job done. The first time we were together, though, it felt different, intimate. And that kiss you pushed for in the break room? That had something to it. But after that, it’s just been ... practical. No spark. Just sex for the sake of the ability.”
Penny looked at him, her voice soft but probing. “Is that what you want, though? Just practical?”
Ethan exhaled sharply, his jaw tightening. “No. Honestly, that’s been my fear from the start. That someone would only want me for my class abilities, for what I can do for them. Just some transactional thing. But with Mei, there’s stuff I do enjoy about her. The way she trains, for example. She’s got this intense focus, like nothing can shake her. And she’s always got a cool head, even in the middle of a fight. She’s confident, not cocky, just sure of herself. It’s ... impressive. And the way she teaches others, never talking down, always willing to help, that’s something I admire. Plus, when she got embarrassed during intimate moments, it’s kind of cute. You should have seen it when she took my hand during the raid ... But I haven’t pushed for more. I’m worried it’s not just shyness about sex. What if she’s actually against getting closer?”
As Ethan spoke, Penny listened, her own thoughts swirling. She was surprised by the lack of jealousy stirring in her chest. Shouldn’t she feel something hearing her boyfriend talk about another woman like this? Was she strange for not minding? Doubt crept in. Would Ethan think she didn’t love him if she didn’t react? Her inner conflict felt like a pit in her chest, torn between voicing these fears or keeping them buried.
Ethan noticed her sudden quiet, the way her gaze drifted off. After years together, he knew that look. He rolled onto his side and reached out, brushing a strand of hair from her face. “Hey, what’s on your mind? I can tell something’s up.”
Penny hesitated, her lips parting as if to speak before closing again. He squeezed her hand gently. “Hey, honesty’s never steered us wrong. I want to know what’s worrying you. You don’t have to carry it alone, you know that.”
She sighed, her voice small at first. “I ... I’m worried about how I feel. Or, I guess, how I don’t feel. When you talk about Mei, about being with her, I ... don’t feel jealous. And I’m scared that it makes you think I don’t love you. Like, is it normal to not feel jealous? And I keep pushing you to use your class with other women. Alice, then Mei. But what if that messes us up? I knew things would change when this all started. The idea of it excited me, still does, honestly. But I’m scared that the changes mean we won’t be as close as we’ve always been.”
Ethan pulled her closer, his voice steady and warm. “Penny, I’ve never doubted for a second that you love me. Never. Yeah, I was surprised at first that you weren’t jealous ... and the way you’ve encouraged me to be with others, even under the guise of my class, wasn’t something I expected. But if you wanted me to stop with Alice or Mei, I’d stop in a heartbeat. I do love Alice, and I enjoy being around Mei, maybe even thinking there could be more there. None of it compares to us. The years we’ve spent together, knowing we just ... work. When we decided we wanted to get married, it was because I knew I wanted to spend my life with you. That hasn’t changed. My class threw us into a weird direction, sure, but you enjoying the implications of it? That’s not wrong.”
He paused, then added, “And honestly, I don’t think I could be in a sexual relationship with just anyone. There needs to be a connection. This clinical stuff with Mei, it’s already wearing on me.”
Penny’s eyes softened, and she suggested, “Maybe you need to spend some time with Mei alone. One on one, outside of the routine. See if there’s something more there.”
Ethan nodded slowly. “I’ve thought about that. But I was afraid it’d be crossing a boundary with you. So I haven’t asked.”
She squeezed his hand, her tone reassuring. “It wouldn’t be. If you’ve got an idea, go for it. I’m okay with it.”
“Alright,” he said with a small smile. “I’ll think about it. Promise.”
They lay there together, the weight of their honesty settling between them. Penny looked into his eyes and murmured, “I love you.”
“I love you too,” Ethan replied, leaning in to kiss her. The kiss lingered, deepening as it went on, both of them putting the love they had for the other into it.
Penny rolled on top of him, straddling his waist as their kiss stretched on. Ethan’s hands roamed her body, fingers brushing over the sensitive spots along her hip bones that always made her shiver. She could feel his intent, the way he was trying to rile her up, and she slid a hand down between them, finding him already half-hard through his boxers. She squeezed, drawing a low groan from him as their lips stayed locked.
“Take these off,” she whispered against his mouth as she tugged at his waistband. Ethan complied, shimmying out of his boxers while Penny shed her bra and panties, sliding back under the covers against the chill air of the room. She climbed back onto him, straddling his hips as he lay on his back.
The kiss renewed as she teased him, holding herself up on her elbows, grinding herself along his length, feeling herself grow slick with each slow drag of her lips over him. She reached down, sliding two fingers into herself, then pulling them out to spread her wetness over his cock. Lining him up, she eased down slowly, taking him in inch by inch, a soft moan escaping as he filled her completely.
Leaning forward, she kissed him again, her hands braced on his chest. “I love you so much,” she breathed.
“I love you too,” he murmured back, his hands gripping her hips. They moved together, slow and deliberate, each thrust a testament to their connection. It wasn’t rushed or frantic, just intentional, every drop of Essence, every touch a reminder of how much they meant to each other. Their rhythm built gradually, their breathing growing heavy, until they reached their peak together, Ethan spilling into her as she shuddered above him.
Penny collapsed onto his chest, keeping him inside her as they caught their breath. She felt him soften slowly, the warmth of their bodies pressed together. They lay there, basking in the afterglow, her worries banished by his touch, by his words. Banished by his love.
Ethan pressed the button for Mei’s apartment, letting her know he had arrived. She buzzed him in and he made his way upstairs, knocking on her door.
“It’s open!” She called from inside.
He stepped inside, glancing around for her. “Mei?”
“Give me a minute and I’ll be out”
When Ethan saw her, he forgot what he’d meant to say.
She stood by the door, a soft cream jacket held in her hands. She wore a black slip dress that traced the lines of her body, neckline trimmed in a delicate lace against the white turtleneck she wore beneath the dress. A slim belt on her waist with a golden buckle drew the look together. The contrast of the outfit between the black and white made her appear sharper, more vivid than the rest of the room around her.
Ethan realized he was staring.
“You look...” He stopped himself as the words came out too quickly. “You look amazing, Mei.”
She smiled, cheeks flushing at his compliment. “Thank you.” She smoothed her dress as she looked at him, the simple movement, the ease of it disarming.
“The jacket is a good choice. It suits you.” She put on her winter coat, buttoning it up against the cold. A black knit scarf followed next. Once Bundled up, she turned to Ethan. “Ready?”
They left, making the quick walk to the light rail station.
“What made you suggest the theatre?”
“When you ran into us at dinner, you had mentioned you’d just come from the Orpheum.” He led them into the covered shelter, hoping to escape from the wind. “The only time I’ve seen a play live was back in high school, a field trip. I hadn’t expected to like it, but I did. Loved it, actually. When I saw an ad for the Guthrie doing their yearly production of A Christmas Carol, bringing you was the first thing that came to mind.”
