Her Majesty

Chapter XI - The Throne

It was so easy. It felt so natural. It was so wonderful, so intoxicating, that Undyne allowed it to push the rest of her thoughts away.

This was especially the case when she felt Alices suddenly move closer before hooking her legs around her waist, forcing Undyne to sit down properly and cross her legs, but she didn't mind. In fact, she wanted more, and she reached down and tugged on Alices's legs a little to bring them around her hips tighter. Alices made a sound against her lips, then, one that sent a spike of heat into her, and again she wanted more.

She wrapped her arms around Alices, pulling her closer, before using one hand prop herself up as she moved to lower Alices down on her back. Alices made another sound, then, and Undyne could feel her heart racing, something her own heart copied when, again, their kiss deepened and their tongues met.

Undyne found herself in another kind of haze, so unlike the panicked one of before, and it was almost addictive. She leaned down and pushed Alices down onto the grass below them, lowering herself down with her, propping herself up on one elbow as her other hand slowly trailed down Alices's face, then her neck, then lower.

Alices could barely keep her breaths steady. She was still reeling from it all, still shocked that Undyne hadn't told her off, let alone all of this. The feel of Undyne against her was incredible, so much better than anything she'd ever imagined, so when she felt Undyne's fingers once again at her breast, she jolted a little and gasped, her claws getting tangled in her hair.

Undyne could barely believe this was happening, let alone in the circumstances they were in, now. When she felt Alices slip her hands down from her hair to her shoulders, before one of them moved lower, tentatively trailing down with shaking fingertips but stopping just below her collarbone, she was the one who made a sound. Yet Alices didn't move it down, clearly losing her nerve, so Undyne reached up and pushed her hand down and over her breast, holding it there for a moment, until she felt Alices's fingers curve around it. The moment she did, Undyne let go and pressed back down again, her own hand going lower.

"Undyne," Alices murmured breathlessly against her lips, her breaths uneven.

Undyne paused, not sure if that was why she said it, until Alices shifted her body closer, curling her tail around one of Undyne's legs tight. She had never, ever felt this way, before, had never known she could feel this way before, and had no idea what she was doing, but it didn't seem to bother Undyne. If anything, Undyne seemed encouraged by this.

Therefore, when her fingers reached up and started unbuttoning the front of her coat, Alices inhaled sharply but didn't stop her. She didn't want to stop. She wanted to forget everything else and get lost in the arms of the woman she loved.

"Alice," Undyne whispered, "if I'm... if I'm..."

"You're not," Alices answered quickly, slowly moving a palm over one of her breasts slowly, loving the feeling - especially when Undyne sighed deeply and her body reacted similarly. "Don't... don't stop."

Undyne nodded, kissing her again, getting the coat unbuttoned halfway before pushing her hand beneath, touching softer cotton.

Undyne blinked, a little surprised; she'd always thought that Alices only wore her lab coat for some reason. Now she knew better, and she laughed a little, surprising them both.

"Uh," Alices said shyly, going bright red. It was never a good sign when someone touched you that intimately and then laughed.

"Sorry," Undyne admitted. "I just... never knew you wore anything under this."

Alices felt her face burn. "Undyne, of course I do!"

Undyne laughed again, finding her almost haughty indignation oddly adorable, unable to resist kissing her again.

Alices was slightly mollified, but still blushed. She wondered if everyone thought that.

Then, she forgot all about it when she felt Undyne slip her hand under her shirt and brush her fingertips over her belly. She shivered without control, her arms going back around Undyne's neck, and she buried her face into her shoulder, feeling both horribly shy and incredibly aroused. Undyne smiled faintly, moving her lips down to nuzzle her neck gently, and it was like pushing a button: Alices clung to her tight, gasping a little.

Undyne really, really liked this. She'd seen enough and read enough (and especially heard enough from her fellow Guards), but only now did she finally get it.

Before she met Alices, she figured that if she ever got around to this, it would be from curiosity.

After, all she could think about was wanting to try it with Alices, alone.

And now, she was. It was wonderful.

"Undyne," Alices hissed out when her fingers trailed over her breast again, this time separated only by her bra. It sounded like a plea, the way Alices said her name, and she closed her eye, shivering a little. She never thought she'd be able to instill that kind of emotion in anybody, let alone Alices, and yet here they were.

Gently, Undyne grazed her teeth over the curve of Alices's neck, just as she reached into her bra and cupped her fingers around her breast. She felt a jolt, the skin so soft, yet also so firm, that she felt her brain completely hijacked by it. This feeling only increased when Alices squirmed beneath her, biting back what sounded like a cry.

Undyne wanted more. Alices did, too. And truly, both didn't want to stop, instead opting for blissful and wilful ignorance of everything around them until they were both spent.

But they were on the surface, and was reminded of that rather abruptly.

They suddenly heard it at the same time: the sound of voices, loud and excited. Their eyes snapped open and met, both freezing with fear, and quickly Undyne moved away, Alices untangling herself from her as she got to her feet and summoned a spear into her hand.

"No, Undyne!" Alices whispered sharply, getting to her feet and putting a hand on her arm. "Get rid of it, quickly!"

Undyne nodded, extinguishing it, moving backwards into the shadows. Alices followed after she grabbed her phone, keeping close, one hand grabbing one of hers tight. Undyne pulled her closer and put her arms around her, instead, and they both stood in silence, both afraid and desperately listening, willing themselves to be as invisible as possible.

As they watched, a group of humans - older than the thing of their nightmares but younger than the two on the mountain - ran by without so much as a second glance in their direction.

It reminded Undyne of her late-night patrols when she still worked in New Home, when hyper teens would run around being loud and dumb just for the fun of it. She realised, then, that perhaps going at night wasn't such a good plan, after all. Night brought out interesting people, but not all were good, and most were loud. There was likely very little chance that they would be able to walk into the city unnoticed, even this late.

Alices gritted her teeth, coming to the very same conclusion. She sighed, leaning back against Undyne without thinking, and Undyne reacted in kind, pulling her closer in the same way.

When they were sure the humans were gone, Undyne said, "We need a new plan."

"Yeah," Alices agreed flatly. "We... we m-may have to risk the daylight."

"I know, but I don't like it," Undyne admitted. "It... it worries me. Remember how those two humans looked at us?" She felt a small fall in her stomach at the thought. "They were terrified. And it was still dark."

Alices was silent for a moment, clearly thinking.

Undyne stayed quiet, instead keeping her ears sharp, just in case.

Then, Alices pulled out her phone again and typed in something. Her eyebrows went up in surprise when she got an unexpected result. "Undyne, we're still connected to the Underground."

Undyne blinked, then leaned over her shoulder and peered at her phone, surprised, one hand going to her other shoulder and squeezing lightly.

Alices went a little pink, both from shyness and delight at such a casual yet affectionate gesture. She held up her phone, and Undyne nodded.

"So what can we do?" she asked.

"I... honestly don't know yet," Alices admitted. "But at the very least, we can contact a few people. Someone really should be at the barrier - er, where the barrier was."

"But if they go, they'll tell everyone, and we can't risk panic," Undyne said a little regretfully.

"Th-that's true." Alices paused, then blinked, her eyes focused. "I think I know who we need."

Undyne looked at her, and she smiled.

"Mettaton," she concluded.
