"You guys are really leaving?" Ciri asked but looked downcast.
It has been a month since Dante and Geralt 'sparred'. In that period, they got to know Dante more, especially his powers which made everyone drop their jaw when they heard he could destroy an entire continent using his energy, or to them, magic. They wouldn't have believed him if they didn't witness the utter destruction of Kaer Morhen's walls without the lad breaking a sweat. Currently, it was time for the witchers to leave, but that couldn't be said for Eskel and Lambert who already left days before.
Geralt and Vesemir nodded while the old man smiled, "Yeah, don't worry, you've got this monster to protect you." he laughed, "Besides, it's about time you two lovebirds get some privacy."
This earned him a glare from Ciri but he just shook it off and focused on Dante, "We'll be back before next winter, well, I don't know 'bout them, but I'll be."
Dante nodded in understanding, "Don't worry about the place, we'll take care of it."
"I'm not worried about the keep son," Vesemir laughed, "No one'd dare to raid a keep with a stud like you in it, that is of course if they know you."
All of them laughed while Geralt just smirked, he wasn't embarrassed losing against this guy, not one bit. In fact, it was quite the honor of fighting a man that's leagues stronger than him and not dying.
If only he met Whis and Beerus.
"Welp, I think it's time we're on our way. Oh, and one last thing," Vesemir said while Geralt was now on top of his horse, Roach. "Don't go overboard in bed will ya? We don't have enough crowns to fix everything!"
The old man didn't give Ciri enough time to shout as he rode his horse and kicked the side of it with Geralt, laughing it off.
"That old bastard!" Ciri yelled while her partner just smiled, he found the lass' antics quite amusing.
They watched as the witchers rode off until they couldn't be seen anymore.
"Come on, we've got training to do..." Dante turned around and picked a wooden sword, while Ciri just looked at him with hands against her hips.
"Oh? And I thought I'd have a break..." She walked until she was in front of the raven-haired teenager, and drew circles around his chest area. "How 'bout we go upstairs and have some fun, I'll make you feel good tonight."
"Huh?" Dante shocked by the girl's straightforwardness, couldn't help but back off a bit, "HAHAHAHA"
Cirilla, confused as to what just happened, raised a brow, "What's wrong?"
It took a while to calm the lad down as he kept giggling like a little kid, "No, it's nothing. You just sounded like a prostitute."
"Y-You!" Ciri went to punch him in the face only for her hand to phase through his body's after-image.
"You gotta be faster than that," Dante appeared behind her and whispered on her ear, blowing on it.
As she was about to react, he quickly hugged her from behind and cupped her breasts. "I wonder how big your breasts are gonna get when we grow up."
"AHH!" Ciri immediately crouched as she yelled, "PERVERT!"
Dante laughed, "Now-now, how about we go to inside? Geralt already hunted a rabbit before they departed." He said while he offered his hands in front of her, "Come on, I'll cook."
When Ciri thought about it for a while and took his hand, pulling it as much as she could and made him fall on top of her. "How about that... Dante, a powerful magician who could destroy an entire continent, is a molester."
The said man was taken aback by the girl's sudden action but caught up quickly and grinned, "Well, how 'bout I molest you right now?"
Not backing down, Ciri slowly led her face close his', as she was about to kiss him. Dante closed his eyes, expecting the said action but opened them again to find Ciri just grinning from ear to ear.
"So that's how you're gonna play huh?" Dante grinned and stood up, not before lifting her, princess style.
"H-hey!"
"How 'bout we take this inside," The lad grinned while Ciri blushed from being carried. "You're heavy..."
"What? No, I'm not!"
"Yeah-yeah, you're not."
"I'm really not!"
XXXXXXXXXX
After dinner, the two lovers went to have fun in bed for a few hours. Dante was laying on Ciri's bed while the said girl was hugging him, feeling satisfied, using his arm as a pillow. The lad smiled and
kissed her forehead, "You're so beautiful..."
"I know," Ciri smiled under his compliment, "By the way, I dreamt of Geralt talking to a woman with the same hair color as yours."
Dante just raised a brow, "Uh-huh?"
The ashen-haired just shook her head, "But that's just it, the only thing I heard was 'Yen'," she then looked at his eyes, "I'm starving..."
"What? But we just had dinner..." Dante stated but Ciri just used the Puppy-eye jutsu making him sigh and stand up. (Sorry XD)
"Wait!" Dante was about to grab the door handle but stopped as he heard Ciri's call, he turned around to see Ciri sitting on the bed while motioning for a piggyback. He smiled and shook his head, walking towards her and knelt with his back against her. The girl playfully smiled and climbed on his back, being lifted without effort.
Dante smiled and walked towards the door, rotating the knob and opened it, "You know," He initiated while walking downstairs, "You never told me why you were so distant when we first met..."
Thinking about it, Ciri couldn't help but chuckle at the memory. "Now that I think about it, I never really did."
"So... are you gonna tell me?" Dante asked.
The ashen-haired just rested her head on his traps, "It's quite childish, but when you got teleported here in the keep, you actually appeared and crashed on top of me, out of nowhere. And... we accidentally kissed."
"Oh!" Dante's mouth formed and 'o' shaped as he finally understood why. They were now in the kitchen as he knelt down with his back against a chair. "But why are you embarrassed by a kiss?"
"Well duh! It was my first kiss," Ciri pinched his belly, earning her a yelp in return. "the question is, why weren't you affected by it?"
Dante scratched his belly and wryly smiled, "Well duh! I was unconscious."
The lass just glared at him and turned her head away, "Hmph! Copycat!"
The raven-haired smiled, went to the counter and grabbed the last portion of the rabbit meat that was preserved in a barrel full of ice and placed it on top of a chopping board. A knife appeared on his hand from thin-air and swiftly diced the remaining meat and set it aside. Swiftly preparing a bbq sauce made from the herbs he found at the barrels, he then sliced pieces of bread from a loaf and applied some butter on top of it. Spreading a little cheese on the bread, Dante then went to the chopping board and grabbed the diced meat, piercing them with wooden sticks. He then dipped the meat unto the bbq sauce and placed them on a plate. He then transferred them to a grill to which he lit using his energy manipulation, which made it hotter than normal, hastening up the cooking speed without dropping the quality.
During this time, Ciri and Dante were just casually talking, and it didn't take long as the raven-haired now prepared everything on a big plate, and placed it on the table, with Ciri drooling from both the smell and the aesthetics. She didn't even wait and dug in while Dante just chuckled in amusement.
The food in this era wasn't really up his taste, that is, of course, because of his modern palette. He just found the trending food really bland, reading the books and flyers on what kings and noblemen eat made him chuckle. Even modern peasants could eat a lot more delicious servings than the most expensive dish in this era. 'Maybe I could use that to my advantage...'
He was cut off from his thoughts when he felt Ciri tugging on his sleeve, "Hm?"
Ciri blushed a little bit, "I'm still hungry..."
Dante just sighed and stood up, "Wait for me, I'll be back in a sec. I'll find some rat for you to eat..."
"Ew! No, wait! I'm full!" Ciri hurriedly chased after the raven-haired, while the latter just laughed.
"Just kidding, I'll find something outside. Wait for me here, I'll literally be back in a few."
"Meanie!"
