#28 of The Life and Times of Jarzyl Mintaka (Slice of Life Stories)

Two dragon fledglings spend some time getting to know each other even further.


There's just one last thing--one first thing.

This story can be read independently, though it chronologically follows directly after the Mizalin-on-Sky series (first story here).


"Bzzt. Good evening, this is the skipper on the bridge," came a voice that buzzed out from a small box in the corner of the ceiling.

Caden had been resting her head on her paws, but now the young dragon perked up and turned towards the cabin's public address speaker box.

"Just to give everyone a quick update--we're presently holding station approximately... thirty leagues due east-northeast of Avaeria. Unfortunately, there is a storm system in the area--_several_large thunderstorms systems in the area. The city currently has its shields up and is busy harvesting lightning bolts, so we're going to have to wait for a lull in storm activity before we can approach for docking. Fleet Command has estimated that it will be at least an hour or possibly two or more hours before the airspace clears up enough for them to drop shields and let us approach. My apologies for the delay."

The public address system clicked back off, and Caden lazily used a hindleg to scratch at an itch on her side. Then she glanced at the cabin's other occupant--another dragon fledgling just like her, but one who had dark-grey scales with stripes of sombre green, contrasting against Caden's own leafy green colouration all over.

Glecion had her blindfold wrapped around her eyes, and the blind fledgling hadn't visibly reacted. Both she and Caden were lying on a double bed together, temporarily occupying this cabin while the airship transported them and their fellow schoolmates back home from a field trip. Caden tilted her head as she stared at Glecion--was Glecion even awake? It was hard to tell because her eyes were always covered.

Their friends, Atlas and Jarzyl, were still off in some other cabin elsewhere, but that was fine. After eating dinner, Caden and Glecion had chatted for a good long time, talking about life, school, friends, or reflecting on the day's events. Eventually though, the conversation had lapsed into silence--it had been a long, exciting day, and both of them were content to simply lie down on the cabin's double bed and relax, taking a quick rest while the airship carried them home.

Caden had taken off her flight harness, so now she reached off the edge of the bed and grabbed a pocket watch out from one of her harness pouches. The small clockwork timepiece told her it was several hours past sundown--not yet late in the night, but still later than the field trip's original planned end timing.

Caden put down her watch and glanced at Glecion again. Caden had plenty of friends, and even close trustworthy friends--Atlas and Jarzyl, just for instance--but Glecion was different. The two of them had a... unique closeness and comradery that went beyond the standard friendship.

Caden's heritage stemmed from two powerful dragon clans--Hasilt and Taslin--and her parents were wingleaders from each of those two clans who were united under a matrimonial alliance to solidify the wider Hasilt-Taslin clan strategic alliance. Glecion had similar origins, as a fledgling hatched from two wingleaders across the clans. She and Caden should have been clan cousins, linked not by blood but by common shared kinship and clan affinity, except that Glecion's blindness had left her unwanted and rejected by both clans. Remembering that fact left Caden feeling upset and enraged on behalf of her friend--Glecion deserved better.

Shaking her head, Caden decided to drop that thought for now. One day she could hope to change things, but not today. Again glancing at Glecion, Caden wondered if her friend was even still awake or if she had properly dozed off.

To check, Caden made a short, sharp whistling sound with her teeth. "Fwee!" In response, Glecion's ears instantly flicked up and turned towards her, which made Caden chuckle. "Heh. So you are still awake."

"You could have just asked," Glecion replied.

"Did you hear the announcement? We're going to be delayed. We'll be stuck here for several hours more," Caden said.

"I did hear." Glecion yawned, covering her mouth with a paw, and then she stretched herself and rolled onto her back, with wings half-unfurled. "I don't mind. This bed is really comfortable, and it's much bigger than my bed back at home."

Caden smiled faintly. "It's a double bed meant for two dragons--this cabin is sized for two adult dragon mates, not a pair of fledglings." Reaching off the bed and to her flight harness again, she pulled out a claw file and grabbed one of Glecion's hindlegs. "Extend your claws," she said, tapping Glecion's paw pads.

Glecion obligingly did so, and her hindpaw briefly tensed up as her muscles slid her claws out of their sheaths and into locked position. Holding her friend's hindpaw, Caden started using the metal file to carefully trim and file down her claws. It was a grooming habit--Caden liked to keep her own claws and scales in perfect condition, and she liked even more to help her friends with theirs. "Thanks..." Glecion murmured, and her tail made a smooth happy flick from side to side, swishing against the bedsheet and lightly brushing against Caden's side.

Things were just quiet and calm for a while. The deep rumble of the airship's thrusters permeated through the whole craft, but the faint sound was inoffensive and oddly relaxing. The cabin door was still wide open, so the two fledglings could hear laughter or excited chatter from some of the other nearby cabins. There were plenty of classmates, schoolmates, and even fledglings from other schools who were aboard this airship, and in some of the other cabins they were clearly playing games or having more lively discussions.

"Sounds like they're having fun," Caden commented. "They must have gotten board or card games from the airship's lounge. Do you want to go and join in?"

Still lying on her back, Glecion tilted her head, listening to the sounds of adolescent excitement from their peers. "We could. I'm ok if you want to go, but I'm also ok if we just stay here. I'm fully neutral on that idea."

"Let's stay here then," Caden decided. "It's been a long day, and I prefer lazing about in this bed, even though it would be fun to see what the others are getting up to."

"Mm hmm," Glecion hummed.

"Crowds and parties are overrated anyway." Sliding off the bed, Caden strolled over to the door and pushed it shut. The sounds of laughter and chatter were muffled now, almost impossible to hear under the gentle rumble of the airship, except for the occasional extra enthusiastic shout or cheer. Caden hopped back onto the bed, and she grabbed Glecion's hindpaw to resume gently smoothening and sharpening Glecion's claws

"Thank you, by the way," Glecion murmured.

Caden smiled. "You're welcome. I like having good claws, and that is a luxury I gladly extend to all my friends."

"Mhh, but that wasn't the thing I was thanking you for," Glecion continued. "Today has been... memorable. This was a... a very good experience, I think. Thanks for guiding me around Mizalin-on-Sky all day. I hope I wasn't too much of a burden to you."

"Oh, you shouldn't think of yourself as a burden. It was great to spend the day with you!" Caden's smile widened, and though Glecion couldn't see it, she could probably hear it in her voice. "I like chatting and spending time with you... We're honorary sisters, after all."

Glecion giggled. "Heh, I do like the sound of that!"

Eventually Caden finished working on the claws of Glecion's left hindpaw, and she stood up and went to go sit right in front of Glecion, straddling atop Glecion's tail so she could now work on her right hindpaw instead.

Glecion flexed her left hindpaw, and she gently reached down to feel her freshly sharpened claws. "Ooh, that's sharp. Good for... scratching and kicking things."

"Yes. Though kicking aside, having sharp claws is also better for walking. It reduces the chance you'll get a claw cracked, and it lets you grip the ground properly," Caden casually explained.

"I bet that would be more useful if I ever actually did any running. Or even a takeoff jump." Glecion rested her head against a pillow. "Thanks for that too. Today when you... you helped me to fly, that was incredible. I just... no matter how many times I thank you, I'm not sure I've thanked you enough."

"I'd gladly do it again. You deserve better, and it was my honour to help you get what you deserve." Caden continued working on sharpening Glecion's claws.

Glecion was still lying on her back, with Caden sitting in front of her, and their tails brushed each other whenever Glecion's tail flicked slowly from side to side.

When Caden was done, she released Glecion's hindpaw and casually slapped the outside of Glecion's thigh. "All done."

Glecion crossed her hindlimbs, and hugged her forelimbs against her chest. "Thank you!"

"You are ever welcome." Caden slipped her claw file back into her flight harness beside the bed, and she lay back down on her front beside her friend.

Instead of remaining still, Glecion pulled in her half-unfurled wings and flipped onto her front. Stretching out a paw, she reached for Caden's shoulder until she found it. "Ok, your turn now. I'll repay the favour."

"Don't consider it a favour that's owed, but just think of it as a friendly thing that I enjoyed helping you with."

Glecion nodded, but she was undeterred. "Ok. Then don't consider me grooming you back to be a favour repaid, but just another friendly thing that I also want to enjoy helping you with."

Caden couldn't keep the smile of her face. She let Glecion take her forepaw with hers, but she didn't extend her claws. "Hmm... True. But then I already sharpened my claws this morning..."

"Claws aren't the only things that need to be groomed." Glecion took Caden's paw and nuzzled it with her snout, then she used the tip of her tongue to gently lick it. With smooth, gentle strokes, Glecion started to preen and clean Caden's scales using only her tongue. A slight shudder ran down Caden's back, and she let Glecion continue to clean her scales--starting with one forepaw, but then slowly working up her limb.

Licking scales clean was a familiar action to most dragons, but that was usually only their own scales. Cleaning someone else's scales implied a greater level of trust and care--drakken parents frequently licked clean the scales of their young children before the hatchlings developed the muscle control (and discipline) to clean themselves, but when done in other scenarios it implied a close friendship and bond.

Sitting on her front, Caden stretched her neck to start licking at Glecion's scales too, and the two dragons continued to groom each other's scales slowly. It was relaxing and pleasant. Much as Caden felt she had close friendships with other dragons, she had not licked someone else's scales or had the same done to her in a long time. Not for years, perhaps. Nowadays she did sometimes help Jarzyl polish her scales, but that was with a brush or a cloth, and that lacked the intimacy of what she was now doing with Caden. It was just the two of them together, tucked away in a cabin aboard an airship, both grooming each other.

Eventually Glecion gently pushed away Caden's snout, but only so that she could start licking at the scales on Caden's neck too. By now Glecion had cleaned Caden's forelimbs, her upper chest and back, and even her wings--it wasn't a fast process at all, but they weren't in any rush.

Holding her head high, Caden tried to keep still as Glecion gently licked at her neck. Her tongue slid over the sensitive scale plates, wetting them just slightly but not too much. She even ran her tongue between the minute grooves that ran between scales, and it was a struggle for Caden to keep a shudder from running down her back again. A slight tremble did make it through, and Caden wasn't sure if Glecion noticed. The sensation was mildly ticklish, highly pleasant, and most satisfying.

The two of them were so close to each other, constantly touching. Caden could even _smell_Glecion at this distance--both of their bodies had a mild, mineral odour clinging to their scales from the time they'd spent in the hot springs today, but beneath that there was also the faint natural scent that belonged to Glecion.

Caden blinked her eyes closed as Glecion continued her slow grooming. Now she couldn't see what was happening, but she could certainly still feel it--lick, lick, and another gentle lick. Starting at the base of Caden's neck, eventually Glecion had made it up until she was almost licking Caden's chin.

"Aren't you going to stop me?" Glecion murmured softly. Caden could feel Glecion's breath against her throat, warm and calm. When Glecion spoke quietly, the slight rasp in her voice seemed amplified and oddly commanding.

Caden blinked her eyes open, not that it mattered. Glecion was blind, so it wasn't like she could actually tell if Caden was looking back at her. "Why do you think that I would stop you?" Caden asked.

"I don't know." Glecion gently licked at Caden's throat and chin, her tongue relentless but ever gentle. She paused for a brief moment to speak again. "I thought you might be embarrassed, and wouldn't want me to groom your neck or your head."

"My head and throat are some of the few places that I can't reach with my own tongue," Caden replied. She swallowed, and Glecion probably could feel her throat bob. "Care to continue, Glecion?"

And Glecion did. Again she licked Caden's throat, then her chin, then the side of her snout. Then Caden turned her head so that their snouts touched, and she opened her jaws just enough to let her tongue dart out and touch Glecion's.

Glecion didn't hesitate, didn't slow down, and didn't even speed up. As smoothly as she had already been doing, she pressed her snout against Caden's and let their tongues brush against each other in a kiss. It was a quiet, intimate embrace that grew more passionate, until Caden felt like her head was spinning. They just kept going--using their tongues to explore each other's mouth--feeling, tasting, touching. They were so close, right up against each other. Again a shiver ran down Caden's back.

After the longest brief moment in her life, Caden felt Glecion relent, and the two fledglings pulled back from each other. Caden swallowed a few times, and she drew a few shaky breaths. "I like that thing you do with your tongue."

Glecion tilted her head, and in that moment she was somehow awkward yet elegant, shy but sly. "You know... I... I think I like it too."

Caden chuckled, and Glecion giggled too. "Hah. You're a really good kisser. Better than any other fledgling I've tried."

"You tried many?" Glecion asked.

"Not that many. But a few, and that was enough to know that some are better than others, and you're really good," Caden said.

"Thanks. I... haven't had much practice. Or any practice. Ever," Glecion admitted, though she was still grinning. "I suppose that counts as another first. My first field trip outside the city, and earlier was my first time flying, and now you've gone and taken first kiss too."

Caden felt an odd surge of pride in her chest. "I've never kissed another female dragon. That's a first time for me too."

"How about second time, then?"

"Good idea." And then they kissed again, and Caden felt it was just as good as the first time. At such a close distance, they were sharing space and even sharing breath--when she exhaled, some of her breath must have been inhaled by Glecion, and the opposite was true too. The very air that she was now breathing had just been inside Glecion's lungs, and what an odd thought that was.

Both fledglings were sitting up on the bed, and Caden pulled Glecion's body close against her own. She held Glecion's paw with one of her own, but her other paw wandered--touching, feeling, starting on the inside of one leg, moving upwards, and even daring to stray to a place that made Glecion gasp. "Mmhh. Oooh! That's... you really... Woah..."

Caden paused. "Too much?" The two fledglings pulled back, no longer kissing but still half holding each other.

"I don't know. I'm not embarrassed. I'm just... confused...?" Glecion's voiced dropped back to a quiet whisper. "You... did close the door, right?"

"I did," Caden confirmed.

Glecion nodded. "Ok. I'm... I don't know. You touched me there and it made me feel all warm and tingly and strange, but I just... thought that I wasn't that sort of person. I'm interested in male dragons... drakes... I think?"

"Eh!" Caden made a casual, indifferent noise. "Me too. As I said--I've kissed several male fledglings, but only one female fledge."

"And did you... do _that_with all of them?" Glecion asked, reaching down to touch Caden's paw, which was still resting on Glecion's inner thigh.

"Oh definitely not. Not all of them."

"But you did for one... or some of them?" Glecion asked, and Caden could hear the intense curiosity in her friend's voice. "What was it... like?"

Caden chuckled. "Haha... Awkward and clumsy, mostly." She tried to move away her paw, but Glecion held on so she stayed in position touching Glecion's inner thigh.

"Tell me more, pleeease?" Glecion murmured, dragging out the last word with a rasp.

Instead of pulling away, Caden now shifting her paw upwards, and Glecion kept her paw touching against Caden's but didn't resist. Caden touched Glecion's underbelly, but just a bit too high to actually touch her genital slit. "You've got a slit here. Males have a genital slit too, but theirs is a little higher and has a... fun little thing that will come out and become not so little if you just touch them down here." Caden moved her paw about, not quite touching Glecion's slit but instead just teasingly rubbing her belly. "In my limited experience, it's not even very difficult. You barely even need to touch a drake and he'll get all stiff. Sometimes they can't even help it, and it just happens without even needing to be touched! On several occasions I've seen classmates who awkwardly wrap their wings around themselves, trying to cover their underbelly as if that doesn't make it all the more obvious what they're trying to hide."

"Oh wow." Glecion took a deep breath. "Oh wow," she repeated. Her paw was still resting atop of Caden's and she gently pushed down, trying to hint (or beg?) for Caden to move lower, but Caden deliberately resisted.

Instead she just kept teasing her with her casual touch and her bawdy words. "It's true! Once I even had one of my other friends who... he was... willing to show his erection to me. I got to touch it. I grabbed it and squeezed it and felt it up," Caden whispered conspiratorially.

"Yeah? Wh--what was it like?" Glecion asked.

"Hmm. Squishy but hard at the same time, like there was a hard stiff thing in the middle surrounded by soft flesh. Coming right from his underbelly, just jutting out. Sort of like... like grabbing a tail tip, but thicker and much stiffer, and without scales so it was much warmer," Caden explained, and then she laughed when Glecion used her other paw to grab the tip of her tail and feel it. "And it made me feel really turned on to think that my touch had turned him on so much. He even stroked his penis for me a few times, but then he got nervous and we didn't do more than that. Not yet, at least..."

"Who was he?" Glecion asked.

"Just a friend from school. We were doing project work together at my house, and both of us were just sitting together on the floor, trying to figure out our project report. Somehow he... got a bit excited (which made him very embarrassed), but then I asked to see and he let me see it."

"Did you kiss him?"

"No, I didn't. Funny, that. Not before, not after. I played with his private parts and even let him touch mine too. Then we just sort of... waited for his erection to go away, before we continued doing our project report." Caden's snout scrunched up, and she snorted out a laugh. "Honestly, he did most of the report while I just bossed him about, but I don't think he minded."

Glecion bit her lip. "Sounds like fun."

"Are you jealous?"

"Maaaaybe?" Glecion admitted.

Caden grinned. "Jealous of me because I got to play with a drake's erection, or are you jealous of him_because _I was touching him?"

"I..." Glecion's voice trailed off. "Both?"

"Hahe. Cute..." Caden laughed, and then she gently bumped her snout against Glecion's. One thing led to another, and then they were kissing again. "Mhh. Yes..."

Glecion panted, and she leaned against Caden. "Why is it... why is it so fun to kiss you?"

"Because civilized or not we're still just social animals, programmed by biology to seek companionship?" Caden muttered. "The same reason why fledglings our age start to think about mates and sex. Your body wants it."

"But we're both drakka. Shouldn't there be a drake involved for... mmhh... for biologically this to make sense?" Glecion asked, though the way she kept passionately kissing Caden between every half sentence made it clear that she didn't object at all.

Caden casually shrugged her wings. "I don't know. Sometimes your body just wants what it wants for its own reasons. Like when I crave eating unhealthy food even though I should stop. Or perhaps more... ooh... a more accurate comparison is the same reason it feels good to touch yourself, even though that wouldn't work for reproduction."

"Does it really feel good? I've never really understood the point in... touching... uh..." Glecion's voice trailed off again, and Caden giggled.

"Hehe, oh, Glecion, don't tell me you've never even tried touching yourself before. I mean, Atlas and Jarzyl are still obliviously innocent and naïve, but I thought you were at least a bit more curious. A bit more mature."

"I have! Of course I've tried it before. Tried it several times, in fact. Except I just... never really understood the point?" Glecion retorted.

Caden laughed, and she pushed Glecion onto her back, so she was lying down on the bed with Caden sprawled atop her, the two young dragons chest to chest and snout to snout. Caden moved her paw down and hovered it right above Glecion's genital slit, with Glecion's paw still above hers. "You have to touch here for it to feel good."

"I know! I know that!" Glecion replied in a furious but excited whisper. Holding Caden's paw she tried to pull it closer, but Caden again deliberately resisted touching her where she wanted it.

"Want me to show you?" Caden asked, with a wide grin across her snout.

"I... uh..." Glecion shivered, but she nodded her head eagerly. "Yes? I'm confused but curious. I... Ah..." Whatever Glecion had been about to say, it faded into a soft moan as Caden finally relented and brushed her paw against her slit.

"You're cute when you moan." Caden slid her paw a few times up and down, then she lifted away and rubbed her digits together. "Wow, you're really wet."

Glecion crossed her hindlegs, and her tail flicked nervously. "Am I? S-sorry--ahhhahah..." Again her words were interrupted by sound that was half moan, half laugh as Caden resumed her gentle rub. Warm, tingly pleasure rolled through her underbelly, and she instinctively spread her hindlegs again, wanting more.

"Don't apologize. It's not a bad thing. It's just your body preparing itself, getting things all wet and slippery cause you're so turned on." Caden raised her paw and sniffed at it, and she even dared to dart out her tongue and sample the taste of her friend's bodily fluid. They had just tasted each other's saliva during their kisses, after all, so was that really very different?

Caden had one paw resting on Glecion's belly, and now she moved her other paw back to resume gently rubbing Glecion's slit. She trailed around the sides of her mound, feeling the tiny lines of neatly tiling scales that surrounded that area of warm, sensitive flesh. Glecion's genital slit was slightly swollen with blood and thoroughly wet from her natural lubricant, with a trickle of that slick, clear fluid even beginning to drip down towards her tail base. "Now I'm getting a tad jealous. Even when I'm touching myself and really turned on, I don't get this wet," Caden casually admitted.

"Heh..." Glecion giggled softly. Still lying on her back, she shifted her paw and slid it along Caden's body. Caden was lying on her front, parallel to Glecion, and she shifted her position so that Caden's paw was touching her underbelly and they were both feeling each other up. Glecion's touch was inexperienced but gentle, and she imitated whatever motions Caden did--that simple reciprocity made Caden grin, and she again moved her snout to kiss Glecion. "Mhhmm..."

Suddenly the sound of muffled cheering and laughter made both fledglings freeze up. Caden pulled back from the kiss and glanced around, but the cabin door was still closed. The walls between cabins were decently capable of blocking out noise, but the doors were less soundproof. "Sounds like someone just won one of their games," Caden murmured, turning back to Glecion.

Glecion grinned, and she used her paw to gently tug Caden's paw to press against her underbelly again. "This is definitely better than some board games. This feels so much better than whenever I ever tried touching myself. That was just a mildly nice feeling, but this makes me feel... woooh!" Lying on her back, she pedalled her hindlimbs, kicking up into the air and clenching her hindpaws.

Caden couldn't keep the smile off her face. "You really are so cute, you know that Glecion?" She shifted her position, moving lower down on the bed so she could easily reach Glecion's underbelly with both paws. "I bet you'll look real cute when you _cum_for the first time."

"When I wha--aah..." Again Glecion lost track of her words as a gasping moan found its way from her throat. The way Caden was touching her sent pleasure flowing through her body, originating right in her genital slit but flowing to her core. "Caden, this is very nice... Yeeessss..."

Caden giggled. "Hehe. Tell me about it, girl. You really should try to do this to yourself sometime, and figure out what works for you best. It's not complicated. My personal preference is to touch here..." Her paw brushed against a spot just at the top of Glecion's slit, gently circling about a small nub of intensely sensitive flesh in a way that made Glecion's toes curl. "And to just reach in here..." With her other paw, Caden carefully slipped one of her digits into Glecion's depths, spreading apart those slippery, muscular walls to press about on her insides.

"Caden! Wow..." Earlier Glecion had been trying to copy Caden's actions and reciprocate for her friend too, but now the sensation flooded her mind and made it impossible to think straight. To have a vulnerable, exquisitely sensitive part of her body stimulated so well by a friend sent tingly pleasure firing down her nerves, and it made her muscles tremble as tension built up inside her. It just kept going, more and more and more of that tense pleasure that demanded to be released, but Caden's repeat touches only kept making it worse and worse, better and better.

The pleasure buzzed out her thoughts and made everything else less important. All Glecion could think about was how good it felt for Caden to touch her, blended with a deep desire for closeness. Glecion had one paw on Caden's shoulder and another just resting over Caden's paw, and now she found Caden's chin so she could lean down and touch their snouts together in another kiss. "Mhhm. Yes, yes..."

Caden pressed against her, casually humping against Glecion's tail and returning her kiss even without slowing the motions of her paws at all. Touch, touch, rub, rub, continuously building that pleasure until Glecion felt it become unbearable. "Caden, too... too much, I can't... nghh... please... ahhh..." Glecion didn't even know what she was saying, as the intense sensation made her quietly ramble and moan.

"Almost there," Caden murmured.

"Almost where?" Glecion gasped.

"Just relax, Glecion." Caden didn't explain any more, but instead she pulled back from her kiss and shifted position. The next thing Glecion felt was more than just the touch of a paw pad, but instead wet, soft, probing muscle as Caden used her tongue to lick at Glecion's genital slit. "Mhm. I've never been flexible enough to try licking myself, you know. So I've always wondered what this would be like," Caden casually said, as if she wasn't stimulating Glecion in the most intimate of places, pushing her through new sensations that she hadn't known her body was capable of creating.

Glecion could feel both hearts pounding hard in her chest, and her breath came in pants. For a moment she held her breath and tried to control her breathing, only to let it out in a soft gasp as the pleasure made concentration impossible. "Huh!" It was too much to hold in, too much to tolerate--Glecion wanted it to stop, but at the same time she wanted it to never end. One of her paws was resting on Caden's shoulder, and she could feel the rapid motions of her friend's limb as she repeatedly rubbed at Glecion's slit. "Caden...? Ghh... Caden!" Her voice came out in a choked squeak as the pleasure threatened to overwhelm.

"You're close," Caden whispered, and then she kept licking and rubbing.

"Close to... to what?" Glecion asked.

"You'll know when it happens."

"When _what_happens?"

"Just relax and focus on the feeling," Caden murmured.

Glecion's only possible reply was a soft, desperate gasp. "Huuhh...!" Her forepaws pressed down, just holding on even as Caden kept going, gently but firmly teasing her all the way over the edge and into her first sensual climax. Glecion's snout scrunched up into a tortured, blissful grimace and she slammed her head back against the bed, writhing about as the sensation blasted to maximum and then just kept going.

"Oh! Ooohhhh...!" A quiet, desperate, and entirely involuntary moan found its way out her throat. It was too much. Warm, white-hot pleasure jolted through her body like a thunderbolt, sending her mind into spirals as her body went into a frenzy--Glecion was barely even cognizant of what she was doing. Her hips had been gently rocking up and down in time with Caden's rubbing, but now she kicked her hinds down and thrust her hips upwards, arching her back to press into Caden's touch instinctively, even as her tail curled itself into a coil from the raw, unbearably wonderful sensation.

It felt like it was coming in pulses, steady pulses of pleasure that spiked up and down, making her genital slit clench down and the rest of her body spasm. She no longer had any idea or sense of what Caden was even doing to her--touching, licking, rubbing, whatever--but it just prolonged that deep, wonderfully rewarding sensation that rolled out from her underbelly and echoed through even part of her body from head to tail, from wingtip to wingtip. "Ah, grahh, gahaha... ahh..." Glecion moaned quietly, repeatedly, unable to control her throat, her limbs, or even her mind as pleasure kept arcing through her.

Just as it felt like the crest had come and the pleasure was beginning to slow and lessen, Caden moved upwards. Her paws didn't stop those simple, repeated rubbing motions that had brought Glecion such raw relief, but now she stretched her head upwards to kiss Glecion yet again, and once more it felt just as good as it had the first time.

Eventually, finally, after an eternity that had probably been just no more than a minute, Glecion felt that intensity slowly drain out of her system. That mindless but delightfully pleasurable state finally faded away, allowing her to once again regain control of her thoughts and her body. At some point Caden had stopped rubbing and was just sort of pressing against her, and now Glecion slumped back against the bed feeling utterly satisfied and blissful. Any touch to her underbelly now felt almost painfully sensitive, but without any of the tingly pleasure that had made it so desirable before.

Caden playfully licked the side of Glecion's snout. "I was right."

"Wha..." Glecion cleared her throat. "Ahem. Wh--what...?"

"I told you that you would look cute when you came, and you did." Caden moved so that she was just half lying atop of Glecion, snout to snout, and Glecion hugged her friend close. "I bet now you understand how touching yourself is supposed to feel good."

Glecion's response was just to let out a long, exhausted, satisfied sigh and to nuzzle against Caden's neck. "Hgnnn... Does it always feel so good?"

"Usually. Sometimes."

"If it... if I had known that touching myself was supposed to feel so good, I would have done it more before. You must do this a lot to yourself..." Glecion murmured.

Caden's grin was audible in her voice. "Maybe I do."

Glecion held on to Caden. "Thanks... I should... I was supposed to be grooming you, but then somehow you ended up... Gah, I can't even think straight now."

Caden laughed. "It's been a long day, Glecion. I'm glad to have spent it with you. Just relax."

"Thank you, Caden," Glecion whispered.

Caden bumped their snouts together--no need for another kiss, but just that gentle, intimate contact. "I don't know why, but I find you really amusing and interesting and cute, Glecion. We should really hang out more. Do this more often, maybe."

"That's the best idea I've ever heard," Glecion agreed.

Lying against each other, the two fledglings snuggled together, enjoying the warmth and quiet contact. Around them the airship rumbled as it continued to fly its steady path, and occasional chatter was audible from nearby cabins, but in here it was just the two of them, close and comfortable together.
