Last Man On Earth When There Is No Earth ?

Sector twenty one

"Ninety seven… ninety eight… ninety nine… two thousand!!"

Dropping on the steal cold floor Seven struggled to catch his breath. His c.h.e.s.t went up an down as streams of sweat ran all over his body, soaking everything from his shirt to his u.n.d.e.r.w.e.a.r.

"…man… this is boring…"

It's already been two days since they left, and as expected things get boring with nothing to do right next to nowhere to go.

"Man… I miss my games"

When was the last time he has that thought? He did not know.

Their stay in Rooster lasted for about eleven days. It had its ups and downs but nevertheless, it was enjoyable.

"… no…"even with the al the downs, Seven was strangely satisfied, which is a miracle in itself for a veteran shut-in, to have fun outside.

He actually managed to leave his lair, went to eat outside, went shopping then sightseeing, had a walk in a park and almost got himself killed.

Everything -except for the last one- were things he knew for sure the wasn't used to. His to do for fun list consisted mostly of play this or that or marathon entire seasons of anime in one go.

The reality is, the moment you get into a relationship you lose most of the time you spend on yourself and your hobbies. And when you are in a relationship with an alien beauty such as Lilia you would unconsciously give up that time without it ever crossing your mind. After all seeing her happy was the best thing any living being could ask for.

But that changed the other day. Though it wasn't for too long Seven was drunk on Lilia's sweetness, so much that even when he felt sick he found the power to keep up with her.

They slept in the same bed for a second time, and he got to kiss her again too. But the thing he had the chance to do that is still mesmerizing him until this day was fondling her b.r.e.a.s.ts!!

The sensation from her voluptuous bosom was impossible to shake from his head. Just remembering it made power surge through his whole body, especially a certain area

"Calm down…"

Just when he stood up to calm his raging member a surge of depression followed shortly after

You see, Seven is still unaware of a fact that concerns Lilia rejecting him that time, and even with all the effort he puts in to brush the thought aside it still hunt him until now.

"did I change… " he looked at his arms. Those muscles are growing on him, they feel so natural now that, he even sometimes forget his body isn't supposed to be like this. His body were tempered with and the feeling that his mind suffered the same fate is somewhat frightening. Otherwise he would had a stronger reaction to the events of that night.

He is les hesitant and handles emotional damage way better than his previous self. Yet he is still the same v.i.r.g.i.n inside, no matter how his brain got tempered with there is nothing that could be done about his lack of experience.

Speaking of experience, Lilia too had none. But unlike her Male human partner she didn't know much about the process. It was her first game tasting female p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e and it threw her mind into a frenzy. The lacking information she got from one book about Male and female relationship after marriage, specifically mating, had big effects on the way she made her decisions. To put it bluntly, she is just way too pure.

Seven, who only heard the phrase "I'm not ready to make children", thinks he is lacking something, thus making him unworthy of sealing the contract between them. But he wouldn't simply give up after being pushed away once, he kept what happened in mind -away from that parasite of a ghost, hopefully- and slowly planned his next step.

That's right! If it's child making, it can wait!! He only has to chose a smaller goal, one that would be easier to achieve, and isn't on the extreme end of the l.e.w.d spectrum -hand holding isn't an option-

One thing he always craved for, the thing that is the least s.e.x.u.a.l of all things couples do.

A lap-pillow!

Thought it's the safest choice he doesn't know whether Lilia is willing to do it or not. First of all, he has to shorten the distance between them now that Lilia spends her time in a separated room reading books. He prepared a few things to reach that end, so all that is left is the best time to execute.

The mental image he has, of him relaxing on those glorious t.h.i.g.hs as the beautiful Lilia stroke his hair, smiling down on him…

"…hehe… hehehe…" if Iris was up she might have warned him about his somewhat creepy giggles, but he was alone, no one to witness the dark side of the insanely rich usually calm human.

"Oh no no… must stay calm…"

Back to reality, he took a deep breathe after standing up. Boredom is starting to have its effect again. It's too early for him to call it a day.

"…sigh…"

Yup, there is nothing to do.

With all the options taken away all he could do to keep his mind from going mumbo jumbo Was training his body.

Yeah, practice.

"Who would have thought I would be doing this for entertainment"

This became his favorite time pass since about yesterday. It's either this or looking at the start from his seat in the bridge.

On the first day he had the courage to try getting closer to Blue, but obviously he had no luck. She totally hates him. Not only that, the ghost freeloading in his body kept nagging and shaming him until he lost his will, and here is where it ended.

Looking around him , Seven heaved a long, long sigh at the boring dimly lit storage space.

Now that it's cleaned and all traces of space oil and other stain from unknown substances are gone it served as the training ground he intended it to be. Though, without any equipment that image is completely shattered.

"Oh! Captain!!" a cheerful voice called him from above, starting him as he stood in the middle of the silence.

"So you are finally awake"

"Yup, fully charged" the fur covered tiger face put on a big grin as he held his hand up to his forehead saluting his employer "I have already checked the bridge! Everything is going perfectly!"

"You think so?"

"Yes! We should reach Keion in as few more hours!"

"umu, good…"

From their interactions the short time they knew each other Seven learned many things about this fur covered, slightly short guy. Well, not that many in fact.

Shortly after leaving Rooster Logan put the ship on autopilot and went to take a nap that lasted for twenty hours. When he woke up all he did was eating his food and adjusted the course a little, then went back to bed for another twenty hours.

It would be insane to act so lazily after begging to get his job, so of course he had to provide some explanation to this sort of behavior.

For the time being they were on one of the safe paths under the Zesionien empire's protection, which allowed them to take it easy. What comes after though, when they leave the safety of the twenty first sector, will require a lot of concentration. They have to be on high alert as they pass some of the most dangerous areas, so it is best to get as much sleep as he could before they got to the serious parts.

He couldn't shake the feeling that his judgment was wrong.

"By the way, captain"

"… What?"

"We are playing some sedfami, care to join?"

"Play…" if only Logan could know how close to home that word had hit.

"Is it… a game….?" Eyes wide open Seven swallowed audibly

"Yes! Ah! Sorry you seem busy so…"

"No no! Not at all! I will come right away!" anything is fine as long as he could play!
