Following the celebration on the ship, after everyone had said their goodbyes, In my private quarters I was finally alone again. As I lay in that bed it really started to dawn on me how ridiculous all of this was. I mean the movie was about me. About us really… I knew Columbina cared about me a great deal but I honestly didn’t think she would be this lost without me there. At least that’s how the movie portrayed it. She has Lumine after all. Didn’t expect the mourning to be this hard on her. Her face and tone when she finally saw me again really was uncertain… I should apologize to her again when I see her next. I wonder how long she plans on staying in Fontaine… we could likely head back together. That would be ideal at least since Arlecchino will also be heading back soon. Project Stuzha must be reaching its climax. It will be ok. As long as Columbina stays out of it. She’s free now, finally truly free and she should take every advantage of that to do what she wants. I guess it’s my job as my friend to do everything in my power to ensure she can do that. Even if the tsaritsa herself for whatever reason decides to pursue Colombina's power again… no. That won’t happen. She’s safe and I have nothing to worry about.
Sandrone continued to run through her thoughts as the night went on. Unable to really sleep and with her thoughts constantly returning to Columbina. She lay in that bed jumping between topics all leading back to that devil of a woman. A beautiful… Devil at that.
And then there are her eyes. I assumed she still kept them closed and yet here she was able to easily sense and grab me just by opening them for once. And their beauty…. Oh Tsaritsa, why did she ever close them?
Sandrone then went through a list of items in her head trying to compare their beauty to Columbia’s eyes. She failed to think of something that could match them. Just plain beautiful. She was beautiful… It almost made Sandrone envious. Almost.
I mean I don’t need to look that pretty. Honestly it’s excessive who does she think she’s showing off for? That woman was almost hypnotizing. Oh Columbina…
Now all Sandrone wanted was to fall asleep so she could see Columbina again in the morning. She would do things right this time. For both their sakes. She was given a second chance at life and wasn’t about to let that go to waste by continuing to deny how she felt. She was Columbina's friend. And friends do whatever they can for each other. She almost wished she had that incessant song playing outside her door now. Maybe that’s why she couldn’t sleep. So long they spent together with that same annoying routine. You never know how much you care about something till it’s gone right?
“Lah~ ahh lahh lalala~” Great now you’ve got me trying to sing this thing… Columbina… you’d think an instrument prowess would transfer over to singing but nooo.
“Dormi cara, Columbula” a faint voice rang out.
Great now that’ll be stuck in my head…. I’m not getting any sleep tonight.
“O Columbula mea” It almost sounded like…
Wait, but what would she even be doing here at this hour
“Senti ad fenestram”
“UGHHHHH COME IN COLUMBINA” Sandrone screamed as she sat up in bed.
The door to Sandrones quarters were opened as the room was illuminated by the beauty of the moon goddess, wearing a rather suggestive nightgown that forced Sandrone to avert her eyes on reflex.
“W-what the hell are you doing here” Sandrone screamed as she avoided looking directly at Columbina, I mean what the hell is she wearing?? Where did she get that?? Who gave her something like that?? She’d have to kill them.
“I wanted to see you, Sandrone~” awww.. wait no! don’t fall for her charms!
“N-nevermind why are you wearing that… outfit!” Ughh she did not need this tonight, SURE I wanted to see her again but not in this situation!!
“Do you not like it? Citlali said it would look good on me~ something about having more success with it than she would~” so it was that damn shaman… I knew letting her stay here was going to be a mistake sooner or later-TOO CLOSE
In Sandrone's distraction (and partially from attempting to cover her eyes), she failed to notice Columbina float towards her, now staring directly into her.
“You worried me quite a lot you know… you gave me no sign or semblance of a hope that you might still be alive… I thought I really had lost my closest friend for so long. And now you want me to go away again?” Columbina lost her sweet tone and now sounded almost intimidating.
“N-no that’s not it I’m just shocked to see you this late that’s all, I-i” why is she choosing now of all times to pressure this, I thought we reconciled alreadyyy
“To be perfectly honest Sandrone. I’m quite upset. However you’ll have plenty of time to make it up to me~” Those beautiful eyes of hers opened and her distasteful face turned into an almost evil grin.
This didn’t make any sense, what did that hug mean nothing to her? I showed her my fathers grave for archons sake why is she still- MMPH.
Columbina grabbed Sandrone's arms and pulled them from her face before pushing her back and kissing her. Deeply and passionately kissing her as the bright red cheeks of the automaton went full crimson. Surprisingly enough this was a new feeling for Sandrone and a very unfamiliar one at that. For the first time in decades, her mind went blank. Until Columbina broke the kiss to look at Sandrone's confusion and distraught.
Huh…..
“Hehe~ I love you Sandrone” she said with that same grin.
Sandrone stared dumbfounded into those beautiful eyes of the moon goddess. Entirely unable to process what just transpired. Love. Love huh. She really feels that way? About me? Why? How long? How could she-
“Sandrone~ I love you.” The goddess repeated, breaking Sandrone's train of thought again.
“I… love you too Columbina.” Really? That’s all I can muster? Why does this witch of a woman have such a spell over meeee.
“Hehe~ good, cause you’re far from done repaying me~” she chuckled as her arms moved to unbutton Sandrone's own nightgown.
“HEY WHAT ARE YOU-MMPH“ Sandrone tried to protest before being stopped by yet another kiss. This one was shorter as Columbina just wanted Sandrone to stop complaining.
Now here lay Sandrone half naked as Columbina sat in her lap wearing a see through nightgown that barely counted as underwear. Sandrone wasn’t stupid. It was clear what Columbina wanted to do to her. It just didn’t make any sense to her how Columbina came to understand any of this.
“Are you r-really ok with this?” Great Columbina now you’ve got me stuttering….. Sandrone turned her head again in a desperate look as she tried (and failed) to cover herself up.
Columbina pulled the marionette into her arms, her head to the clockwork princesses ear as her hand slipped below her partner's thighs. “I already told you, Sandrone, I love you. And I’m not going to let you forget that~” she whispered while inserting a finger into Sandrone.
“Augh~! Wait!” Sandrone's eyes widened, as after nearly 500 years. She discovered a truly new sensation. And Columbina showed she had no intent on letting this be the only sensation.
What the hell is this feeling…
Columbina looked Sandrone in the eyes as she held her ever so close. Sandrone stared back, unable to control her face from becoming horribly red. Columbina continued to lightly toy with the Marionettes artificial pussy. Her strokes were soft and gentle but even that was enough to throw Sandrone into a frenzy. “You’re so easy Sandrone~” Columbina teased.
“You’re lucky your eyes are so pr-AUGH?!” Sandrone’s protest turned into yet another moan as Columbina stuck her finger deeper.
“You’ve been rather quick to point out my eyes but won’t so much as acknowledge how beautiful yours are… that calls for punishment, no?” Columbina said with a cheeky manner.
“You sadiSTTT- I-I do not see how those correLATE”.
“You ought to be easier on yourself, Sandrone, you’re very pretty~” Columbina pressed a kiss into Sandrone's neck.
So are you, you little devil.
“Why youuuu AUGH” What the hell is this, this is definitely different, what is she doing, this witch! I-
“Are you close Sandrone? It’s alright, you can cum for me~” she teased.
“What?! I-aughhhhhhhh” almost completely involuntarily Sandrone started rapidly releasing. Her eyes went back and her body shook like an electrocution.
Why the hell would you program me to feel this Alain?!?!?!?!?
Columbina just sat and watched her beautiful Marionette be reduced to a wet and dirty toy. “I believe this was satisfactory Sandrone~ wouldn’t you agree?” She teased as she caressed the broken doll's hair.
“S-sure… whatever you say… Can I go to sleep now?” Sandrone huffed in annoyance.
Columbina lay to Sandrone's right side as she wrapped an arm around the mess she made. Poking a kiss onto her forehead. “Good night Sandrone. Please… don't leave me alone again.” The moon goddess sighed as she drifted off to sleep.
“Wasn’t planning on it… you idiot.”
