BXBX NOVEL Chapter 770
—
Eventually, quite some time later, Kat decided to let up a little on her girlfriend. The purring from Lily continued for a while, and she snuggled into Kat, wrapping her arms around her girlfriend the best she could. Her tail tracing circles in the air behind her as her ears flicked around, looking for any sound that might indicate why she was no longer getting scratches.
“You feeling better now?” asked Kat.
Lily’s ears twitched as her thoughts started to move towards cohesion. Kat sounded strange, or perhaps, not strange but so very similar to when she was a Memphis. It was hard to appreciate just how different and improved her hearing was as a cat. It didn’t sink in properly till she was back in her humanoid form, cat ears and all, and she could still hear so well. So much.
*Oh right. Kat asked a question.* Lily felt around herself and that ball of energy was there... but it felt a lot more like it was HER ball of energy. She could also somehow tell it was more of a mental switch. Pressing on it again would make her a Memphis again. “Yes... yes I am. I think... it’s weird but I have another source of energy. I’m not sure if it’s actually mana or not, but if I... poke it? Mentally? No not quite... if I shove it mentally I think I’ll swap forms.
“I’m not exactly sure why that was making me agitated but it definitely is the root cause of the issue. I feel so much... calmer? Yes that works I suppose. Then again, I also really,” Lily made sure to purr out the word, “enjoyed those scratches. It is not a pleasure humans can properly experience. It’s so soft and wonderful. It makes it basically impossible to think. I just wonder if part of that is because I know it’s YOU or if anyone could do that to me... because I really hope it’s not the latter.”
.....
Kat nodded and let a small silence stretch about before asking, “So. You wanna talk about it?”
“Talk about what?” asked Lily playing dumb.
Kat looked rather pointedly at Lily, letting her gaze purposely wander downwards before Lily blushed and pulled the blankets up and over herself once again. “Fine. I guess we can... maybe talk about it. I just... I don’t know why I’m naked...” mumbled Lily.
Kat sighed, “Lily. That’s a completely new body. It’s never had any clothes on it. What did you expect to happen? What I meant was, do you want to just borrow some of my stuff, or head over to your house and pick up some of your own clothes. Assuming they even fit,”
Lily blushed slightly, as she kept herself covered but slid her way over to Kat, unwittingly draping herself over the demon and leaning heavily on Kat’s shoulder. Her instincts pushing her towards more complete contact. Her tail snaked around Kat’s leg and bound itself there as tightly as it could manage. Lily was instinctually trying to reassure herself of her safety. “I... I mean... I can just wear your clothes,”
“Lily? Is there a reason you don’t want to just grab your own clothes?” asked Kat carefully knowing full well the answer was yes.
“I... I just don’t want to bother my parents yet... I mean... I don’t know how much things really sunk in and I just...” Lily searched her mind for solutions.
“You do know my stuff will be oversized right? I’m not entirely sure that I have pants that will fit you. You might have to pick like, the one dress I have or something,” said Kat in an attempt to get Lily to see reason.
Sadly it had the opposite effect. Lily’s cat-like eyes, shining gold looked up at Kat and said, “I invoke my girlfriend privilege. I shall be stealing your oversized clothing and wearing it around the house,”
Kat rolled her eyes but let the matter drop. Lily just snuggled back into Kat’s side causing her to roll her eyes again and make a show of pointing the closet. Lily huffed, but went over to it. She couldn’t help but take a proper look through things. Now that they were both together together, it was much less of an issue. Sure it wasn’t really one before, but it gave her ideas best pushed down.
Lily glanced at Kat’s underwear first, spending much more time looking at them then was needed to determine none of it would fit. Lily might have gotten away with wearing one of Kat’s bras, and there was some temptation to just go for it, Kat didn’t exactly go for quality. Everything was as plain as possible and had been well worn at this point. Lily doubted any of them properly fit Kat still let alone one she’d be willing to wear.
The bottoms were just as bad, if not worse. A lot of the elastic was clearly going, two had small holes in them, and Lily was just plain smaller in the ‘back’ then Kat was. Lily made up her mind right then and there to mention this fact to either Kamiko, Sue, or Vivian, likely all three, sometime soon. Kat might have a tail and wings, but that was a problem for shirts and some pants, not for undergarments. Well, maybe the wings, but Kat was sure Sue would know. Probably. Lily didn’t really want to consider the idea lingerie was Sue’s demonic attire.
Of course, if Lily was thinking about it right now, she probably shouldn’t be throwing shade at Sue. She was standing completely naked, back to her girlfriend, tail constantly drawing attention to her rear. Not that it did much for Kat, who wasn’t even looking, but it was the principal of the thing. In the end, Lily tried one of the larger bottoms and just rolled the top down, tightening it slightly around her waist and preventing it from just falling off. Part of her was starting to rethink this series of actions, but Lily was certainly willing to take this chance to avoid talking to her parents a bit longer.
Then onto clothing. Kat’s actual clothes were in... better shape. For a given definition of better. The damage was less noticeable certainly but not completely missing. Gramps probably forced Kat to get new outfits more often than underwear. He can’t complain it’s falling apart of he can’t see it and if I know Kat, I know she’d be downplaying the issue constantly. Lily first tried on the dress of Kat’s, but was instantly aware of a problem.
The dress was quite decent on Kat. Lily’s overall smaller frame meant it was a moment away from sliding off her shoulders. The neckline was also quite reasonable. On Kat. A much taller individual. For Lily it was practically indecent. So off with the dress it was. Now Lily was looking instead for shirts, of the larger variety. They could substitute in a pinch. Glancing over Kat’s clothes once again, she picked a T-shirt that looked somewhat new and was definitely oversized.
It fit well as a dress on Lily, who was doing some mental calculation. It was quite easy to work out, once she was thinking of it, that Kat had bought a new shirt and made it oversized even for herself. Something to grow into rather than something that fit properly. Lily felt she was just lucky the collar was so tight in the basic design. It made it perfectly reasonable on her, even if it was still clearly an oversized shirt.
Lily hopped back onto the bed and Kat started running her hands gently through Lily’s new hair. It was very soft and easily slid through her fingers. It curled around somewhat but seemed to resist tangles, though time would tell just how true that idea was. “Do you want to talk about this Lily? While I know you’ve had some issues with your parents in the past, you had a good talk with your Mum last time. Do you really think it’ll be that different?”
Lily sighed, leaning into Kat, her tail finding Kat’s allowing them to twirl together. “I don’t know Kat. I mean. I know it should be fine. Intellectually speaking, neither of them should have a problem at all. Mum even gave me permission! It’s just... I feel like this is going to be so much more REAL to them. I feel like they could accept things before because it was you, not me that had been changed. Now I’m definitely a cat person, well Memphis but they won’t know the difference. This will have forever put my onto a different path than they might have wished for me... and I don’t know what they are going to do about that,
“I know I got lucky with parents when it comes to my sexuality. They’ve never made me feel like it was a bad thing, or that it was something to be ashamed of. Stella might have done enough for twenty people, but my parents. Not once. What worries me though, is how much of an issue they took with you, when you’d done nothing. I worry this is going to be, ‘what has Kat gotten you into’ instead of ‘I understand why you’d do this to yourself\'”
