Last Man On Earth When There Is No Earth ?

Planet Rooster, Gram city

'so, this is what a date feels like' Seven thought to himself, struggling to keep a his usual pokerface.

It was getting late, the neverending night sky made it impossible to notice, but the two have been wandering around for hours. They made the order for Lilia's new spear, got that new book for him, then went to a restaurant after taking a walk in the park.

Seven was amazed by how fast the time had passed. He was too absorbed in the sensation from his and Lilia's hands touching, trying not to screw everything up, but after getting something to eat the tension surrounding them eased and they made their way bay in a more relaxed, mellow atmosphere.

Seven didn't want it to end, and although hiding it as best as she could, Lilia was the same. Being close to this alien male made her feel safe, unlike she ever felt before, but it also came with an incredible amount of embarrassment and conflicting emotions, making her wonder how her classmates who spent most time with their partners were able to handle it.

She knew from the heat that her face must have been painted red the whole day, unlike her husband who regained his composure almost instantly. The two of them already slept together for the second time so something like just holding hands shouldn't be that big of a matter, yet the numerous crowd made her feel somewhat ashamed to go through with it. But the real reason why she felt that way is mostly what happened the previous night when she deliberately took a look inside her sleeping husband's pants, then loosing consciousness out of shock from what she saw.

Multiple times during this date she found her eyes looking in that general direction, unconsciously wondering if 'it' is still in the same state as before.

'ugh..what am I going to do?' she didn't know how it happened but she completely forgot that it wasn't her first time seeing those certain parts. It was back when they first met is that lab, way before they got into this relationship, her mind made a great job of blurring the area around it which helped her deal with the shock, both that and Seven's body being numb from being in a coma for a long period. whatever was behind the blur it wouldn't have been as shocking as what she recently saw

she tried her best to distract her mind but now that her memory is refreshed 'to think it was so... massive...' was all she could think about.

She never wanted to know anything more than that, it's one of the most embarrassing moments in her life. Now Iris is gone and Lilia is left to deal with the situation alone, no moral support. She previously had the thought that she would be able to handle it if the time comes, but now she was sure that something of that size would never go in unless it tears her open.

First it was having a child, then the how. Lilia was facing two of the biggest issues as a female, and there was no one there to help.

Walking hand in hand really does chase time away. They were already at the door to their room, and once they went in they finally let go of each other.

they just stood there looking ahead absentmindedly.

In a few seconds a very small electric signal traveled from Seven's nose to his brain returning him to reality. He was reminded that through this whole day he was sweating like crazy, and the fear of his blonde partner mentioning how bad he smelled made him move while at the same time acting as natural as he could

"I... will go shower first, is that alright?" he said, but was unable to have eye contact.

The answer came a few seconds late

"eh?... ah! right, a shower, yes! you should take one..." Lilia wasn't paying any attention as he talked making her response in an awkward voice and further her embarrassment even more.

"...ok" Seven didn't care much for the reason behind her behavior, the only thing that matters is how cute she looked at that moment .

Seven noticed the change in his expression but mistook it for a really creepy sight that made the girl he is facing almost vomit.

'time to retreat!' he was on the edge. any further and he would selfdestruct, so retreating to get his act together is the most optimal solution.

He went into the bathroom and closed the door leaving Lilia standing in her place, thankfully she never noticed anything strange about him.

As Seven took off his clothes he remember something, for most of the day Iris had been silent. At first he thought it was out of consideration, but now that he/they are alone there was no reason for her to stay in, well beside him stripping and all. She could at least say something, or she might have fallen asleep from boredom at a certain point, it pretty hard being a third wheel. Earlier when Lilia asked him if he has a leg fetish Iris lost herself in laughter, as if her joy came from his suffering, but on the other hand if it wasn't for her support he wouldn't have mastered the courage nor had this wonderful experience. he knew he should make sure to thank her, even if she is a bother most of the time.

....

"ha~~~h" having finished using the shower Seven quickly came out not wanting to let Lilia wait. seeing the door to the bathroom close he finally let out a sigh and allowed himself to lay on the bed, stretching his arms with an uncharacteristic huge grin on his face.

"yesterday was good and all, but I never thought simply holding hands would make this much difference"

'it's fine' he told himself. He is alone now, there was no need for him to keep a straight face. At the moment he could let his joy show even if it makes him look like the idiot he is. Most nerds know by heart that expressing positive emotions attracts unbelievably bad luck, it's like a curse which robs people that see them happy the wrong way.

"well, I can't really say I'm a nerd anymore" excluding the time he spent asleep in that pod, it's been weeks since the last time he touched a keyboard or a controller, and who knows when would be the next time he would get to play any game. But what probably would consume the majority of his time from now on is being with an ultra high class SSSS beautiful alien girl who he is currently married to -according to her-, but all good things would come to an end sooner or later, and he was frightened from it being later. This much luck after almost becoming one of the first casualties in that space invasion, he began to wonder when would the table get flipped over him.

Lilia was taking her sweet time, she might have subjugated herself to the temptation and took a dip into the tub. at any rate it didn't seem like she would come out so soon.

'I don't want to fall asleep just yet so...' turning to the side he felt the clean fabric of the sheet covering the bed which reminded him that this morning he woke up next to that blonde Zesionien female.

Meaning they slept together.

Meaning they would probably, maybe, perhaps do the same thing today.

At that same moment, the moment his pathetic nerd brain computed that thought, his shorts bulged as his meat stood for attention once again.

'WHAT THE ^#€×-' he was glad that he bought those boxers and baggy pants. For almost whole day, from the moment he took Lilia's hand to when they sat to eat his lower parts had been using the hardening move continuously. he was able to adjust its position in the restaurant so the way back was a little better, as for the rest it was a nightmare trying to walk normally without anyone noticing. He didn't expect it to get so energetic so soon, that's why he didn't do some beating while taking a shower.

He was confident that none of it showed on his face, and he checked the state multiple times, as far as he knew no one should have noticed.

what he didn't knew was that Lilia also checked it's state multiple times, but gladly he survived.

Although he tried to cover the problem with both hands it only helped to emphasize what's going on, yet the secret to instantaneously deactivate boner mode was a knowledge unaccuired by simple mortals like him so he had to either wait for it to go by itself which would be difficult with Lilia coming out at any moment, or get a blade and shop it off which is quicker and more efficient, but he still had enough brain left to stop himself from doing such a nonsensical thing.

It practically took a all the courage he had and some of his sanity getting sacrificed to get that little push to hold her hand, and without any help from his invisible friend forget about getting a kiss. all of it made him sure there is no way he would lay a hand on her even if they spent the night next to each other. his cowardice and inability to take the initiative are things to get rid of, that's a priority he had in mind for a long time now.

'there is no need to rush things' he tried to convince himself 'take it easy, and make sure not to screw up'

he took a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes the bag from the electronics shop stood out. he remembered the headphones he purchased earlier that day.

'they fit perfectly fine' he tried them before buying of course, but he was still worried that a Zesionien model wouldn't work well for humans. rather than the traditional ones that you put in the ears those are the type tha uses vibrations, sending them through the bone behind the ear.

the technology was still in development at the time the alien invasion happened, he remember reading some articles about smart glasses applying it in their products.

'come to think of it, Iris said I need to go to certain shops if I wanted music' that would be a good date spot too, but he had to ask his partner before deciding. the reason behind it is that Lilia never was that much of a music fan, nor was Iris. while Lilia had no soundtracks on her book they found some on the tablet, which previously belonged to Iris. He had Lilia share them to his new device so he could try the app and the headphones but didn't get the time to fully listen to the whole track.

A tap on the surface and the familiar purple hologram appeared from the book's screen. It clear that no matter what he I'd or how much he stared at it there was no chance that he would understand those Zesionien texts, but thanks to the coincidence of those Zesioniens having a somewhat similar civilizations to that of humans he was able to understand the simple system with which the device operated: he slid his finger on the hologram to rotate it then pressed the music player icon.

a half transparent rectangle window popped up in front of him showing the three soundtracks available on the device. he selected the second one then clicked the headphone icon from the list just as the shop owner instructed him before, and after a few silent seconds a melody began playing in his head.

laying on his back with eyes fixed on the ceiling he silently listened. a minute later the hologram vanished after not being used while the music was playing

he doubted that possibility.

" I wonder if they have something more... modern"

....

Seven who didn't have any interest in such genre of music found himself almost falling asleep. In his mind he complimented Iris's taste, this piece would have be a great help in the sleepless nights, just a simple play on what could be a guitar that soothes the heart and helps the mind calm. the problem was the length, it's been ten minutes and it still hasn't ended, and three to five was all he could usually handle. He took his book intending to change the but when he touched the screen nothing happened. he touched it again and again but no hologram appeared, that was when he stood up in such a panic resembling that when one is asked to reenter the password to personal accounts.

he tapped the screen once more with trembling hands and the purple ball of light appeared with the rectangle window with the playlist in front of it.

A very long sigh of relief escaped him

"umm... is something wrong?" the voice coming from the side startled him but at the very last fraction of the second before turning around he swapped back to his usual pokerface.

" ah nothing..."
