After the drama of waking up a giant and accidentally destroying the dorms, Mercedes thought it would be best to try and stick to her usual routine, and part of that routine involved freshening up. Since she was obviously to big for a normal bath, a dip in the private springs of the monastery was her only option.
The platinum blonde was led there by Seteth himself while the knights came by to help the students with the cleanup. Mercedes had offered to help as well but told that she didn't need to worry about it. Reluctantly she nodded and followed the little green-haired man to the springs. He left to give her some privacy and said he would talk to the seamstresses and mages about her clothing situation.
Once she was finally alone, she peeled out of her nightgown and steeped into the warm water. It felt as nice as it always did but this was the first time, she ever had the entire spring all to herself. Her new form also took up a vast majority of the spring as well. "Hmm."
She closed her eyes and sighed. Despite how her morning started this was nice. It was quiet save for the sound of mother nature, and she had an entire spring all to herself. She actually felt relaxed, although she wouldn't have minded a little company. Two people in particular came to mind, one a redhead and the other...
"Mercedes?"
Her blue eyes shot open at the sound of a voice she had become very familiar with since its owner first came to the Officer's Academy. She turned her head to find a blue-haired man who had left his previous occupation as a mercenary behind to take up a position as a professor. Byleth was his name, but she and everyone else referred to him by his title.
"Professor...?"
She was blushing, mostly due to the fact she hadn't been expecting him and beneath the water she was naked. No man had ever seen her naked.
"I recently returned from my mission and heard what happened. Are you alright?" The Professor asked her.
After taking a second to calm down she answered. "There's no need to worry. Aside from the initial shock I'm fine."
A ghost of a smile seemed to tug at the stoic man's lips hearing that. "That's good to hear. I was worried, you know."
The giantess giggled. "Sorry to have worried you. I'll make sure to do better in the future."
The two were close, closer than they probably should've been. Aside from Annette, Claude, and his father no one really knew just how close. It was in the goddess tower during the dance where the two confessed that they did have feelings for the other. Needless to say, that meant their true relationship had to be a secret. While they hadn't gone all the way, they had shared a kiss or two when alone with each other.
"I'm glad you're here, Professor." Mercedes spoke warmly.
"Did you miss me while I was gone." He lightly teased.
"I did." She admitted. "But I knew you would come back safe."
"Of course, I made you a promise in the goddess tower, didn't I?" he smiled.
"Yes... you did." The blonde giantess smiled as she leaned her head down. Instinctively, Byleth knew exactly what she was trying to do a met her halfway.
He was no stranger to her soft pillowy lips, and now they had been puffed up to an absurd degree. He wondered if that meant their softness would be magnified. Well, there was only one way to find out.
The pair closed their eyes and let their lips connect. Or it would be more accurate to say Mercedes lips enveloped her beloved's whole face. Nevertheless, the two remained like this for almost a full minute before breaking apart. When they did the giantess got a good look at the former mercenary's face. It was now damp, and the front of his hair was now sticking out.
"I'm sorry." Merci quicky apologized.
"There's no need for that." Byleth interrupted. "That was actually quite nice."
It was too. The softness of her lips was magnified. He then smoothed out his hair and wiped his face. The platinum blonde found the sight adorable.
"I should probably take my leave before someone seems me out here." Byleth said in his usual monotone.
"That's probably for the best." Merci nodded "The last thing I want is for you to get in trouble with the knights."
The Professor again smiled.
Mercedes smiled too.
"One more kiss for the road?" She asked.
"One more." The Professor accepted.
The two shared one last kiss under the morning sun.
