"Alright...And in a few minutes...I should be done..."

Asta uttered these words under her breath, her faced rather flushed as she did.

Not only was she in disbelief that she'd decided to go through with this, but was amazed at how many precautions she'd taken to ensure that it worked flawlessly. 

What a lot of effort, put into something so incredibly stupid...

And yet...

She sighed again, going even redder as she tampered around with the main control of the Herta Space Station security system. The urge to do what she was about to do was nigh irresistible, but as one of the most important figureheads in the station, there was no way she was going to risk ruining her reputation for the people in stations beneath her.

She adjusted wires, rewired circuits, and even employed a mini-robot to divert the sensors in addition to tampering with the controls itself (which she turned off as soon as she was done with it). And after a nervous few minutes, during which she worried that she could be discovered too soon, Asta was able to turn off the security system. Sufficient enough that, when she was finished, she could simply mend it and turn it back on.

She triple checked the system, making sure all of it had gone dark. and started to feel giddy once she wa sure she was in the clear. Asta needed to brace herself as she stood in the locked security room, even though she had already made up her mind. Although there was always activity aboard the space station, not all of the researchers were up in the late hours. This was her one chance, if there was ever a chance to do this.

The poor astronomer had experienced a series of incredibly trying weeks, beginning with the Anti-Matter Legion invasion and continuing through several difficult setbacks. Even she was in need of a break, and she had considered a rather...unusual way to relieve herself.

She had been preparing for this for a few weeks, and today she had mustered the bravery to go forward. Most of the time.

But under no circumstances could she let anyone catch her. Though the hiding was part of the thrill. Breathing out, she began to undress after making one final check that no one was nearby.

She'd debated whether or not she should be completely nude or not for this; whether she should bring her shoes or not. And ultimately, she'd decided that she probably should be. If she heard anyone coming her way, it wouldn't be easy to run in her heels, and on the hard ground of the station, she'd make way more noise. 

So she took them off, letting her bare feet rest on the ground. She dropped the skirt next, and shuddered as she felt the cool breeze of the station around her bare legs. She had to take another big breath when she got out of it and folded it up, and then she lifted off her shirt and other, revealing her bra and leaving her standing in nothing but her underwear.

This is how she could have gone if she had wanted to. Running around her place of work in just her bra and panties. But even though there was less risk and possibly still enough for her to get off on, she wanted to go all the way.

Thus, she reached behind her back to undo her bra, lowering her arms and letting the straps slide down her shoulders before pulling the itoff. She took another gulp as soon as the air hit her exposed boobs. She reached up and squeezed one of her modest but lovely breasts, her nipples already hardening. She gasped nervously, feeling her warm skin against the frigid air.

"Ugh...Why are you like this Asta...?" she cursed herself. But she made no attempt to put her clothes back on.

She  placed her bra neatly with the rest of her clothes and inserted her thumbs into her underwear's waistband. Her exposed chest rose and fell as she began to breathe quickly in and out, while she gradually draw them down. Though she didn't look back, she couldn't help but imagine that someone was stepping in behind her and seeing her ass in full view as she pushed her pants down, exposing more and more of her cheeks and crack.

She was both excited and afraid of this thought.

But she finally got them off fully. Her hand went between her legs as she moved out from under them. She hadn't even begun and she was already wet.

What would anyone think if they saw her? Arlan? Herta? Her family? Even Peppy?

She was naked.

Completely buck-ass naked in her place of work.

And she was going to run through the hallways of this place of work completely naked like this.

She laid her panties on top of her garments, gathered everything, and tucked it all into a little, obscure corner of the room.

Asta inhaled deeply once again, and as she slithered to the doorway on her bare feet, even the slightest tremors moved her assets sensuously. Her legs trembled with eagerness and terror as she rubbed her breasts against the cold steel door.

Before leaving, she pressed her ear to the door to make sure no one was moving on the other side. She jumped back, covering her mouth, trying not to make any noise, as she could hear someone going by, and she had to hold back a shriek. She listened for another minute, then waited for still another minute after that. No one else showed up.

She inhaled deeply, activated the door mechanism, and went outside. She still shivered with excitement at the sensation of the chilly metal ground beneath her feet and the brisk air on her skin.

She stepped once, then twice. She was getting farther away from her clothes with each stride. Her brain begged her to stop at every step, but she persisted. She strolled down the hall at a sedate pace. She was looking behind her and around at all times.

She reached the end of the hallway and peered around a corner. She was aware that if someone approached her from behind, she would appear absurd as she leaned over and exposed herself to peek around the turn. However, it would also be a really seductive and exciting sight.

Still, she persisted and continued to walk. Eventually her slow gait became a normal stride, and she stopped scanning corners as soon as it became obvious that no one was there. She could easily hear people coming anyway.

She felt a trickle run down her leg as the idea both aroused and frightened her. She tutted herself, but then laughed at herself right after.

Asta's goal was to get to the lower abandoned levels of the building without being spotted. There wasn't any security down on those levels; so even if someone turned them back on, she'd already be well away. And the only life signs were that of Ruan Mei's creations, who meant her no harm.

Her excitement level increased, and a smile spread across her face. She heard someone approaching when she reached the next turn, but they didn't sound close. The sound of the machinery made it difficult for her to determine.

Her heart was racing so badly she had to take a deep breath and go over her strategy in her mind. She would ascend the steps and proceed to stroll if she didn't see anyone. She would run if someone was present. No retreating, no waiting. She intended to leave. She inhaled deeply once more and began making her way down. Feeling the cold ground beneath her bare feet and her breasts bobbing in her arm, she trembled.

It took a lot of effort to forgo covering her assets, but she managed somehow.

At last, she managed to go to a more spacious and unobstructed section of the station. She saw a security guard right away, but he was the only person in the area. He wasn't looking in her direction when she came out of the doorway. She seized the chance to hide around a corner, arriving just in time as the officer turned his attention. She shivered once again as she flattened herself against the wall, her ass getting cold against the metal.

This was really happening. She had no clothes on, not even shoes, and was sprinting around the Space Station entirely nude.

The Lead Researcher chuckled to herself and moved away from the wall. She observed that the room was empty now that the security guard departed. She willingly allowed her breasts to bounce around sensually as she skipped up the platform, before she could stop herself and allow her rational mind to take control.

Her nude body was completely exposed to the world as lights shone down on it. She chuckled once again as she crossed the hallway, spun around, leaped into the air, and landed politely, much like a naked dancer. She became even more aroused as she felt her breasts bouncing around. She was nude! On board the Space Station! She experienced fresh feelings of bliss each time the knowledge dawned on her. She repeatedly bounced around, allowing her body's heat to gradually overcome the chilly air while her breasts thumped erratically.

Glancing around, she slipped back into the hallway's shade. She had pre-planned her path, but she was having trouble remembering it now that she was shook by a combination of anxiety and arousal. She needed to give herself some time to collect herself and consider the situation. After that, her mental map materialized, and she grinned before departing. She dashed up and down stairs and across hallways. Every stride she took was accompanied by the bounce of her breasts, which acted as a constant reminder of the way she was dressed. Or rather, the way she WASN'T.

She was naked!

It was thrilling, and she couldn't resist laughing about it.

She was a little concerned about the noise her feet made as she ran. However, she couldn't hear any footsteps, nor could she see anyone, and as far as she could tell, no one else was in the area.

Asta was almost there when she arrived in front of the door. She opened the door and walked through it. It was the same room where Ruan Mei had kept the two monsters they'd discovered. Asta looked at the empty tanks and sighed.

"You've got this," she told herself, turning her gaze away from the tanks. She was aware that her heart was pounding, and she could feel the blood rushing to her face and other parts of her body. She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself, and walked toward the entrance.

Asta's bare feet tapped the floor, and her naked butt and breasts swayed as she moved. Her eyes were wide open, her ears were tuned to the slightest noise, and her heart was racing. She had her arms folded, but she could tell that her chest was bouncing wildly, and her butt cheeks were swaying from side to side.

Once she turned a corner, she couldn't take it anymore.

Asta collapsed against the wall and started to masturbate. She hurriedly began massaging her soaking wet lips with her hand sliding between her legs. She gasped, then moaned, and her breathing got louder.

She was masturbating on a public space station, in the middle of the hallway, naked.

Her moans were getting louder, and her legs were getting weaker, as she slid her fingers into her pussy and fingered herself. Her head rolled back as she moaned.

"Ooh..."

She continued to moan and gasp and shudder as she got closer and closer to her orgasm.

Her breathing quickened, her fingers sped up, and her moans grew louder. She had her back to the wall and was rubbing herself.

Her eyes were closed, her face was flushed, and her hair was messed up.

She was naked.

She was fingering herself.

"Ohhh, God!" She cried out as she orgasmed.

Asta was left breathing heavily as her climax subsided. As the last wave passed over her, she took her hands away from her pussy and let her arms dangle loosely at her sides. She felt her juices trickling down her inner thigh. She'd never cum so hard before. She'd never even come close. She felt dizzy, but happy.

Asta looked down at her body and realized that it was covered in sweat. But it was a satisfying kind of sweat.

At least for the next 5 seconds, then it turned into a cold one.

"L-Lady Asta...?"

Asta felt her chest seize up when she heard a familiar voice call her name. She slowly turned her head to the left, and saw, standing there with his eyes wide and his mouth agape, Arlan from the security department.

"BAAGH!?" Asta screamed, covering up her assets while Arlan also snapped back to reality and sporadically covered his eyes, "Arlan!? Wh-What are you doing down here!?"

"That's my line!" Arlan snapped back, still covering his eyes, "The security system went down, so I had the security department do a sweep of the entire station to find out what happened. I-I came down here after hearing your voice, and, well, I'm not going to repeat what you were saying..."

"Oh, God..." Asta muttered, mortified, covering her face with her jizz-stained hands. However, what Arlan said next surprised her.

"Who...Who did this...!?"

"Huh?"

"Someone stole your clothes and forced you to run around the station naked, didn't they!?" Arlan growled, still not opening his eyes, "tell me their name right now; I will track them down and let them have it!"

"W-What...? N-No, Arlan, i-it wasn't anything like that, i-it's just, well..."

"Just what?"

"...It's exactly like that," Asta admitted, feeling the blood rush to her face again, "I-I did this to myself..."

"What?" Arlan frowned, shaking his head in disbelief.

"I-I wanted to have a bit of a thrill, a-and, well..." Asta explained, "I-I didn't want anyone else to get in trouble for something I did, so...I took off all my clothes and turned off the security cameras for the station."

"Why!?" Arlan cried.

"What do you mean why!?" Asta snapped, "what do you think the researchers of this station would think if there was security footage of the lead researcher running naked through the station!? They'd lose all respect for me!"

"So you did this yourself!?"

"Yes! Yes, I did this all to myself, alright!?" Asta cried, "are you satisfied!?"

"You are insane," Arlan deadpanned, still not uncovering his eyes.

"It's called "exhibitionism,"" Asta stated. She wasn't even embarrassed anymore, she was just cross, "though I get it if you're weirded out by it or something...this is my first time doing something so risky..."

""Risky" doesn't even begin to describe it!" Arlan snapped, "Lady Asta, there are still soldiers from the Antimatter Legion roaming about the cracks of the ship! If one of them got to you, not only are you completely unclothed and utterly defenseless, but the fact that you went as far to shut off security means that nobody would be coming to help you, and nobody would know what happened to you if you went missing!"

"You don't think I haven't thought about that?" Asta countered, "I've had this planned for weeks now. I was fully aware of the risk. I've even considered the possibility that I might have an orgasm on a public space station...in the middle of the hallway..."

Arlan's face was blank.

"...Please don't judge me," Asta begged.

"Too late for that," Arlan sighed. He pinched the bridge of his nose, "but, if it makes you feel any better, I'm not going to turn you in or anything like that."

"Oh, thank you, Arlan," Asta smiled, hugging herself, "I knew I could count on you. And I'm sorry...Now that you say it out loud, it really was stupid..."

"Lady Asta, there's nothing wrong with having a fetish," Arlan asserted, "yeah, the fact that you want to run around naked in a public workplace is...strange, but so long as it's not causing anyone any harm, I don't think there's anything I can hold against you."

"Oh, Arlan, thank you," Asta smiled, wiping her tears, "thank you so much...I was afraid of what you would think of me if you found out..."

"Yeah, well, now that we're past all of that," Arlan said, turning around, "also, I manage your spending sprees. I know that even though you're the lead researcher, you can be a little stupid."

"Hey!"

"So...what now?" Arlan asked. Which was actually a very good question.

"I...don't know." Asta said as they both went silent, "But...you can look, if you want."

"Um...I'd rather not, thanks..." Arlan blushed, keeping his eyes shut, "even if you don't care about your dignity, I certainly do."

"Come on, it's not that bad," Asta said.

"I'm not interested in seeing the woman who I work under naked," Arlan retorted, "all I care about is your safety. So either you go back to wherever you put your clothes, or you tell me where you left them so I can grab them for you. I know you probably still want to relieve some stress, but it's too dangerous, especially down here."

"Or...you could join me...?"

Asta's suggestion got Arlan to open his eyes, and stare at her, utterly dumbfounded. Asta even gasped at herself.

*Why did I say that!?* she cried internally.

"W-What did you say...?" Arlan choked out.

"Y-You could join me..." Asta repeated, a little louder. Even though she was embarrassed

"Join...you...You mean...Join you in running naked around the station...?"

"I...Well..." Asta flushed, "i-in that case, I won't need to worry about running into any trouble, r-right? You'll be there to p-protect me and all...! Yeah! Killing two birds with one stone!"

"A-Are you sure...?"

"You mean you're actually considering it!?" Asta shrieked.

"You asked!" Arlan snapped, blushing as well, "and, well, I-I suppose it is the safer option for you..."

"So...what will it be?"

"Um..." Arlan hesitated, then sighed, "o-okay, I'll do it...For all we know, maybe trying it for myself will get me to understand what the big deal is...I hope..."

"I promise it'll be fun," Asta grinned.

"If you say so," Arlan shrugged.

"Right, uh...well, let's see if we can find somewhere for you to stash your uniform if we're gonna do this," Asta bobbed up and down excitedly, her breasts doing the same, which Arlan forced himself not to stare at, "any ideas?"

"I don't come down here often, for obvious reasons, but..." Arlan thought aloud, "if memory serves, there's an empty room over there. Should be safe."

"Well, I'll lead the way," Asta waved.

The two walked down the hallway together. Even though he tried to be discreet about it, Arlan had a great view of Asta's ass, and couldn't help himself from staring as they made their way down the dark hallway. It was only after a couple seconds that he tore his eyes away from her rear, and looked up to see Asta was looking back at him, a satisfied blush across her face.

Arlan very quickly turned his gaze away again.

"Arlan, seriously," Asta enthused, "I said you can look. I really don't mind."

"I-I-I'm fine, thanks," Arlan stammered.

"I know that's a lie," Asta chuckled, "and I think we're both mature enough adults to handle this. Come on, it's not like I've never seen you naked before."

"Wait, what!? Wh-When did you see me...!?" Arlan exclaimed.

"In the shower rooms, silly," Asta laughed, "everyone showers together, and the showers are public. I've seen plenty of men naked, and none of them look half as good as you."

"How...do I respond to that...?" Arlan went pink.

"You could just say 'thanks,'" Asta said.

"Thanks," Arlan said, feeling his cheeks warm.

"There's a good boy," Asta beamed, "you can keep staring at my ass, if you want. I'm getting pretty comfortable with this whole 'naked' thing."

"O-Okay..." Arlan stammered, feeling a little lightheaded as his gaze returned to her rear.

Asta had the biggest, most beautiful butt that he had ever seen. The fact that it was bare and completely exposed was causing him to get hard. He couldn't help but stare at it.

Eventually, Asta and Arlan arrived at the room that the latter had been talking about, and hurried inside. Arlan, at first, shifted in place, unsure of what to do. It was only now he was realizing that he was about to strip completely naked in front of his senior.

"Well...?" Asta asked, tilting her head, "are you gonna do it?"

"Um, right, uh..." Arlan mumbled. He gulped, and started by taking off his tie. Next came his suit jacket, then his shirt, and finally, his shoes, socks, belt, and pants. Soon, he was down to his boxers. He hesitated before pushing them down and revealing his erect cock to Asta, who looked down and saw it.

"Wow..." Asta gasped.

"Yeah..." Arlan sighed, scratching his neck, "that's what happens when a man sees a naked woman."

"You're big..." Asta muttered, "surprisingly big."

"Yeah, I guess the pitch of my voice doesn't give that impression, huh?" Arlan couldn't help but chuckle, "but I'm more of a man than I seem..."

"I can tell," Asta said, still ogling him, "and now, I'm definitely glad I decided to take a chance on you."

"I, uh...thanks," Arlan said, his eyes falling to Asta's breasts again.

Asta gulped as she gathered up his garments and concealed them just as she had done with hers. She turned back to face him and moved to get closer, closing the distance to just one foot. She fought the impulse to grasp him and pull him in as his dick was pointing up at her belly and she could feel her boobs on his chest and his dick on her stomach.

"You look really good without any clothes on," Asta whispered, smiling at him, "you have a very nice body. You should take off your clothes more often."

"Thanks, I guess," Arlan said.

"Listen to me though...In all seriousness," Asta gingerly put a hand on his shoulder, "you don't have to do this if you don't feel up to it. And if at any point you feel too nervous, anxious, or uncomfortable, you let me know, and we'll come right back."

"No, I'm...I'm good, really," Arlan insisted, "and besides, if this is a chance to protect you from potential threats, then I'll take it. But...if anything were to happen, please know that I'd throw myself into the line of fire before I'd ever let you get hurt."

"I'm sure you would, soldier boy," Asta smiled, patting his chest, "come on, then. Let's get going. Remember: no matter what happens, hide if you hear someone coming. It doesn't matter if it's an enemy or a coworker."

"Right."

"Good. Now, follow my lead," Asta said. Now that they were both naked, she returned to the doorway and sketchily peaked her head around the corner, just to make perfectly sure that no one was coming.

As Asta approached from behind to get a better look, she felt his dick jab her ass cheek. She let out a squeal, causing him to jump back as she swiftly touched the location he had touched.

"I-I'm sorry!" Arlan flushed, "I-I didn't do that on purpose!"

"I-It's okay, really," Asta laughed nervously, "i-it just caught me by surprise, is all..."

"Sorry..." Arlan muttered, "but...it's kinda hard not to, when we're both naked and so close to each other..."

"I know," Asta said. Her gaze fell to the floor. Her face was red, and her voice was shaky.

"Is everything okay?" Arlan asked.

"Yeah, I-I'm fine, really..." she assured him. Secretly, she was kind of hoping that he'd do that again.

The two of them made their way down the halls of the underground abandoned research area. At one point, they had to quickly duck into a small room when they heard something come around the corner and nearly run into them, but it turned out to be one of Ruan Mei's old creations, who inhabited the area. After the coast was clear, they continued down the hallway.

As a result of their haste, Arlan did in fact find himself pressing on Asta multiple times. They came so close at one point that Arlan's extremely erect dick slid between Asta's soft asscheeks.

"S-Sorry," he stammered.

"It's alright," Asta assured him, looking back at him, her face red and her tone shaky.

"You're really enjoying this, aren't you?" Arlan couldn't help but chuckle.

"I...I've been wanting this for a while," Asta admitted, looking away, "to be completely honest, I-I've been planning this for a couple weeks now, and...I think I already said that, but...well, you know...I've had some stressful days recently..."

"I don't doubt it," Arlan nodded.

"So, what's going on with you, then?" Asta asked, turning to him.

"Wh-What?"

"Don't tell me you're not enjoying yourself, Arlan," Asta said, "I know you're getting some pleasure out of this, and I'm sure you feel the same way I do, right?"

"Well...I can't deny that..." Arlan sighed, scratching his head, "I-I guess, after you told me that it was all a set-up, and you're just having a little fun, I...started thinking of this as something a little less weird."

"Oh, come on, I said 'exhibitionism' is the word, not 'weird,'" Asta chuckled, "although, to be fair, I have thought of this as a little strange. I mean, there are much more exciting ways to get off than walking around naked in a dark station."

"Yeah, well..." Arlan scratched his head, "if I'm being honest, this isn't exactly my first choice, either, but...there are worse things, I suppose."

"That's the spirit!" Asta laughed, "hey, you might even have a fetish for it after today."

"I...don't think that's possible," Arlan shook his head.

"Oh, don't be so quick to judge," Asta giggled, "you might find something you really like about this. Trust me, I'm not usually into things like this, either."

"Fair point," Arlan shrugged.

"I'll make a deal with you, then," Asta proposed, "if we both enjoy ourselves, then, as a reward, we can do this again sometime."

"Wait, what? A-Are you saying...you actually want to do this again?" Arlan said.

"Oh, come on, don't tell me you aren't interested," Asta grinned, "Although next time, we should do it somewhere off the space station. That way, you won't be so worried."

"W-Well, if you're sure," Arlan blushed, "but, why are you asking me if you're going to drag me along, anyway?"

"I'm asking because I respect your choices," Asta asserted, "I don't want you to do something that you don't want to do, and I can tell this is a little embarrassing for you. So, you can say no if you want."

"Oh, um...well, thank you, I guess," Arlan said.

Asta smiled, and they continued their walk. After a couple minutes of silent wandering, they eventually found the entrance to the large open chamber in the middle of the facility. Previously, Ruan Mei had been housing a clone of the Emanator of Propogation here, but since it's escape, Caelus the Trailblazer had battled it and managed to put an end to it. It's bug children were still roaming about in places, but Asta knew their usual haunts and knew how to avoid them easily.

"Wow," Asta breathed.

"What?"

"The size of this place," Asta gasped, looking up, "I never get tired of how huge this room is..."

"Yeah, it is pretty big," Arlan agreed, "you'd think Madame Ruan Mei would have chosen somewhere else to hold that clone, but I guess she wanted to be prepared, and have a lot of room for her experiment."

"It's a shame," Asta frowned, "she had such good intentions, and I feel like we should have done more for her. But I guess there's no use thinking about what we can or can't change now."

"It feels strange to be completely naked in such an open area..." Arlan shivered a little, and his cock shivered with him, attracting Asta's attention, "why bring us here?"

"Well, there's a lot of open space here," Asta pointed out, "how good are you at dancing?"

"Me?" Arlan pointed at himself, "you're the one that likes to dance."

"Not like that," Asta giggled, "I meant, how are you at slow-dancing? And do you know how to ballroom dance?"

"Um, I don't know..." Arlan shook his head, "I haven't had a whole lot of experience with that. But what does that have to do with the open space here?"

"Well, because I'm inviting you to dance, obviously," the naked Asta oustretched a hand.

"Oh. You are...?" Arlan gulped.

"Yes, and I'd really like it if you'd join me," Asta smiled.

"Um, okay," Arlan took her hand and followed her into the open space.

Asta guided Arlan along accordingly, and he felt his erection throb as she drew so close to him. She got close and wrapped her arms around him, and then he did the same, and slowly began to rock back and forth, and the two began to move together in a circle, their bodies pressing against each other as they danced.

"You're doing this on purpose, aren't you?" Arlan inquired.

"Mm? Doing what~?" Asta asked, whispering in his ear sensually and mischievously.

"Pressing your, um, chest against me," Arlan gulped.

"Oh, this?" Asta smiled, and pressed her chest against his a little harder, making him blush.

"Yes, that," he confirmed.

"Why? Are you not enjoying yourself?" she asked.

"It's...It's not that I'm not enjoying myself, it's just...kinda hard not to..." Arlan admitted.

"It's hard because you're enjoying it so much?" Asta teased.

"Maybe..."

"Oh, don't play games," Asta said, "tell me. Do you like the way my breasts feel?"

"They're...soft, I suppose," Arlan replied, "so...yeah, they feel good."

"Would you like to see them a little better?" Asta asked.

"Well, uh...yeah," Arlan admitted.

Asta stepped back and let him get a good view of her breasts. He stared, and she smiled, blushing a little, as she gave her breasts a good shake, jiggling them in front of him.

"They're very nice," Arlan said, not entirely sure what to say.

"And what would you like to do with them?" Asta asked, stepping closer.

"Uh, I..."

Arlan was interrupted as Asta grabbed his wrist and pulled him back into their ballroom dance. Arlan's dick repeatedly collided with the area around Asta's bellybutton, creating a pleasurable feeling for them both.

"Wow, you're really getting turned on by this, aren't you?" Asta giggled, her face pink, "your penis is so hard and stiff. You must be having a lot of fun~"

"I...um..."

"Shh," Asta said, "just focus on me. I'm the one that wants you, and if I have my way, you're going to get me. So relax, and just enjoy yourself...There's nothing-"

*SMASH!*

"WRONG!?" Asta spluttered the last word of her sentence, as suddenly, a loud crashing noise split the two apart.

The vision before the two; that of an iredescent, chitinous armor that shifted colors under the red light, was accompanied by a cacaphonic, nasty buzzing noise. The attacking creature's segmented body was supported by six thick, clawed legs, each ending in razor sharp talons capable of tearing through steel like paper.

It was one of the swarm clones that had been birthed from the Emanator of Propogation.

"SHIT!" Asta yelped.

"What the hell!? I thought the others were taking care of the last of these things!" Arlan cried.

"I was told they were almost gone, but apparently they're a lot smarter than they seem," Asta growled.

The Emanator's insectoid clone rushed towards the two.

"Hang on!" Arlan cried, grabbing Asta's hand. He ran and tried to pull her along, but the insect clone was able to overtake them and knock them over, separating the two.

Arlan quickly rolled away and managed to get back on his feet. He looked up to see Asta trying to scramble away from the insect's reach, but it was faster and was about to slash her across the back with its talons.

"Asta!" Arlan cried. He lunged forward and managed to grab her hand. He pulled her back and out of the way. The two tumbled across the floor and rolled away.

"You okay?" Arlan asked, laying on top of her. Asta blushed, but she quickly shook off her fluster as the bug came back for seconds.

In time with her shout, Arlan summoned his huge blade to his side, and sliced across the insect monsters face as it dove towards him.

"Man, am I glad that we can just summon these things out of thin air..." he breathed, "do you see what I was saying about the danger!? What if I hadn't been here-!?"

"Alright, I get it!" Asta spat, "we've gotta find some way to fight this thing, or get the hell outta here!"

"Any ideas!?" Arlan shouted.

"Not yet!" Asta called.

Arlan jumped back from another one of the monster's slashes. As he rolled backwards, Asta came up from behind the creature and smacked it with her satellite dish. However, her weapon didn't leave a mark, and she ended up bouncing back.

"Great. These things have armored shells," Asta hissed, "that means we're gonna need a different strategy if we wanna take this thing down."

"Any ideas?" Arlan asked.

"Not yet, I'm thinking!" Asta said, "but honestly? It might just be better to make a run for it!"

"Good idea!" Arlan cried, ducking under and incoming attack. At first, Asta expected him to grab her by the hand and pull her along, but instead, she was caught by surprise when Arlan lifted her off her feet and held her in a princess carry.

She ever-so-slightly felt Arlan grope her butt from the way she was being held, but she wasn't sure if he did that on purpose or not. Either way, he was clearly too focused on running away to notice.

"Hold on tight!" Arlan commanded, as he began to make a mad dash for the nearest exit, dodging the creature's attacks as he did. Asta did so, wrapping her arms around his shoulders and pressing her breasts against his chest. She noticed him blushing slightly.

As the two made a break for it, they found the monster's attacks growing fewer and farther between, and soon enough, the beast lost interest, and the two were able to run away without incident. For good measure, Arlan looked back, and crammed the two of them inside a nearby empty supply crate to hide out until the coast was clear.

He made sure Asta was safely inside, then brought the lid on top of the box, leaving them with just enough light to see one another. Asta was now sitting on his lap, and he was still holding her close. She wasn't sure what to say at this point.

"Are you okay?" Arlan asked.

"Mmm hmmm," Asta nodded, her voice small and weak.

"Do you need a minute?" Arlan asked.

"Um...no, I-I'm fine, really," Asta stammered, "I'm...not hurt or anything."

"Okay, well...let's give it a minute or two, just to make sure," Arlan said.

Asta was too overwhelmed by her feelings of excitement to speak, so she nodded. But she subtly noticed that despite the fighting, she could feel something gently brushing against her clunge. Sure enough, her suspicions were confirmed when she looked down to see Arlan's dick, twitching a centimeter away from it.

Arlan had clearly noticed, but wasn't saying anything about it. So neither was she. They simply sat there, awkwardly looking away from one another. But eventually, Asta did speak her mind.

"Um...Arlan...?" she piped up?

"Wh-What? What is it?" he asked. Asta smiled shyly.

"I know now's not really the best time, but..." she giggled, her voice trembling, "you can...do it...if you want..."

"Do...what...?" Arlan gulped.

"...Put it inside me," she whispered.

"W-Wait, what!?" Arlan exclaimed, "y-you mean, like, right here and now?"

"It's not like we're in a hurry," Asta shrugged, "and it's not like there's anything to worry about."

"Um, are you certain about that? Like, SERIOUSLY, Lady Asta," Arlan asserted, "I-I'm not wearing protection, you know?"

"It's fine. Today's a good day for me. Just be careful," Asta said, "and, to be fair, I wasn't exactly expecting the date to end this way."

"I-I...guess so," Arlan nodded, "well, if you're okay with it, I...I'm willing to do it."

"Thank you," Asta smiled, kissing him on the cheek.

"S-So...uh, how should we do this?" Arlan asked, "I'm pretty inexperienced..."

"I trust you," Asta beamed, "just...do whatever feels right."

With this prompt, Arlan went with the flow and started off small. He gazed up and down Asta's naked body, which in the narrow space of the create, was spreading itself out like she was presenting herself for dinner.

*Guess that means I'd better savor her...* Arlan smirked to himself.

Arlan leaned in and he and Asta shared a hot kiss, opening their mouths and letting their tongues wrestle. Asta's head exploded with euphoria. This was exactly what she had been looking for.

Once the kiss had broken, Arlan began to work his way down, planting soft kisses down her neck, across her breasts, taking each nipple in his mouth and teasing them with his tongue, and slowly but surely making his way down her body, until finally, he was kissing her thighs, and had his mouth on her pussy.

Asta felt his tongue press into her clunge, and she shuddered with delight, moaning. She could feel him eating her out, and could feel her body tingling with every motion he made.

"Mmmm, oh yeah..." Asta breathed, her voice shaking.

Arlan continued, taking his tongue out of her and instead licking her pussy up and down. Every time he reached the top, he licked the outer folds and made her quiver. He then moved his attention to her clit and sucked on it, causing her to shudder even harder and gasp, and then, he began to use his fingers to spread her lips and lick her clunge.

"OHHH FUCK!" Asta gasped, her legs jerking and her body quaking, "OHH YEAH, THAT'S SO GOOD! KEEP DOING THAT, I'M ALMOST THERE!"

"Almost there" was an understatement, as not long after she said this, Arlan's licking caused Asta to reach a climax, and a sudden burst of her juices filled his mouth. Arlan spluttered a little, spitting some of it out to the side, worried that he'd disappointed Asta by doing so.

"Well, someone's excited," he said with a cunning smile. Asta winked mischievously.

Arlan continued to explore Asta's body for a little bit, kissing and licking every inch of her skin, including her thighs, neck, and armpits, all of which gave the Lead Researcher the sensual feelings she desired.

"Oooh, my god..." she gasped, "you're driving me crazy, and you've only just started."

"I guess this means we're both enjoying ourselves, then?" Arlan said.

"Well, let's find out, shall we?" Asta smirked, "it's my turn."

"Your turn for what?" Arlan asked.

In place of an answer, Asta gingerly pushed Arlan to the other side of the crate, opened her mouth, and took in his cock, sucking and licking it. Arlan's entire body shuddered and he moaned.

"Holy shit..." he whispered.

"You like that?" Asta said, pulling off, and then going back in, giving him a blowjob.

"Ahhh...yeah, that's amazing," Arlan whispered, "you're a real expert, aren't you?"

"You could say that," Asta smiled, "I mean, there's no need to hide my degeneracy from you at this point.

She continued to pleasure Arlan for a bit, sucking and licking his cock, and then taking her mouth off of it and stroking it with her hands, and then moving down and licking and sucking his balls.

"Fuck yeah, I love this..." Arlan whispered.

"You want some more~?" Asta teased, and she took his dick back into her mouth, bobbing her head up and down. Arlan felt his heart rate increase and his breathing intensify.

"Fuck, Asta..." Arlan groaned, "I think I'm almost there. Are you ready?"

"Mmmm," Asta replied, nodding her head.

Arlan took her nod as confirmation, and he released a load of cum into her mouth. Asta spluttered a bit, not entirely expecting such a large payload, but she managed to keep up, and swallowed every drop.

"Wow, you are a big one," she said.

"Thanks, I think," Arlan chuckled.

"But the fun isn't over yet, is it?" Asta said, "now that we're warmed up, we can really get going. Are you ready to take this further, or do you need a moment?"

"I think I'm ready," Arlan nodded, "I've got some energy left in me, and I'm not gonna miss an opportunity to have sex with you."

"Perfect," Asta said, smiling coyly.

With that, Asta willfully lay down on her back, and spread her legs, getting into the missionary position. She closed her eyes, and a dumb smile spread across her face as she felt something poke her downstairs. Glancing down, she saw Arlan pushing the front of his cock up against her opening, but despite the tension on his face, he remained patiently waiting for her.

"Ready, Lady Asta?" he asked.

"Ready," she whispered.

With that, Arlan carefully began to slide his dick into Asta's pussy. Asta shuddered with every movement, and a loud moan escaped her. Once Arlan had buried his cock as far as he could go, Asta let out a long, drawn-out sigh.

"Wow..." she breathed.

"Is everything alright?" Arlan asked.

"That was wonderful," Asta said, "are you okay to move?"

"Yeah, I'm good," Arlan said.

With his signal given, Asta reached out her hands, and Arlan took them in his own, holding them tightly, and with this, he began thrusting, in and out of Asta's pussy. The Lead Researcher moaned, her mouth forming an O, and her breasts jiggling slightly.

"Oh yeah, keep going," she breathed.

Arlan followed her command, moving in and out, thrusting back and forth. It felt incredible. His dick was being enveloped in warmth, and every time he entered, he could feel Asta's walls squeezing his cock.

"Fuuuck, yes..." Arlan breathed, "I think I might-"

"Already?" Asta asked, her eyes widening.

"Y-Yeah," Arlan nodded.

"Well, don't stop," Asta whispered.

With her permission, Arlan continued to thrust, faster and faster. Every motion brought him closer and closer to the edge. Soon, the pressure became unbearable, and with a groan, he released a massive payload inside of Asta, filling her to the brim.

"OHH FUUCK, YESSS!" Asta moaned, "OH, GOD, THAT WAS AMAZING!"

"Did you enjoy it, Lady Asta?" he asked, his voice a little raspy from how much he'd been shouting.

"Um...Yes!? Obviously!" Asta pulled him into a hug and snogged him affectionately. Arlan let her take him in her embrace, and he hugged her back.

"I love you, Asta," he murmured.

"Love you too," she whispered.

The two lay together for a moment, basking in the glow of their climax. As Arlan lay on top of Asta, holding her close, she decided to ask him a question.

"Hey, Arlan?"

"Y-Yes, Lady Asta?" he asked.

"I know this is probably way too late to ask this," she chuckled, "but do you want to be my boyfriend?"

"What? You're asking me now!?" he exclaimed, "why not before we had sex?"

"Because that would've been too soon," Asta giggled, "and besides, we never know what might happen. You never know when you're gonna get into a life or death situation, and you might end up wishing you'd said something while you had the chance."

"I...I guess you're right," Arlan said, "and the answer is yes, by the way. Though I'm sure you didn't expect me to say no after all of this.

"Oh, definitely not," Asta snickered.

"So what happens now?" Arlan asked.

"Well," Asta grinned, "aside from the fact that I'm gonna have to tell the Head Researcher I'm dating one of her lab rats, we should probably try to keep this a secret from everyone else. The researchers love to gossip, you know?"

"Yeah, that's a good idea," Arlan said.

"And maybe we could do this again sometime," Asta smirked, "you know, whenever I need some stress relief, and I'm feeling like going out on the town."

"Whatever you say, Lady Asta," Arlan said, and the two shared another kiss.

"Hey now," Asta brought a finger to his lips, "none of that "Lady" stuff. You don't address you girlfriend as "Lady" that's weird."

"Weirder than running through the workplace naked?" Arlan asked.

"Don't get smart with me," she nuzzled her face against his, "seriously, just call me Asta."

"Whatever you say, Asta," Arlan smiled.

Asta's heart leapt.

*He actually did it! He called me by my name!*

"I love you, Arlan," she said.

"I love you, Asta," he said.

The two remained in each other's arms, cuddling. Eventually, they would have to return to reality, and face the consequences of their actions, but for now, the two of them were perfectly happy with just staying there and enjoying the moment.
