It was obvious that Lettuce had something that set her apart from the 
other girls. It wasn't the fact that they were all in happy 
relationships- no, she was quite happy with her boyfriend, Pai. Just as 
happy as Ichigo was with Masaya, or Pudding with Taruto, or Mint with 
Zakuro.

The real issue was something that she had noticed over time. First, 
there had been Taruto's birthday party, when Ichigo had mentioned 
off-handedly that she could tell by scent that they had been...intimate 
right before. Then, not long after, Ichigo had dropped the bomb on the 
group that she was pregnant. With that in mind, it was easy to tell that 
Mint and Zakuro had taken their relationship to the next level as well.

Lettuce hadn't let the difference bother her at first; it was fine that 
she and her boyfriend were taking things slow. That was always how she 
did things. She was smart, shy, and cautious, and that was fine. But 
then the teasing started.

"So, when are you going to stop holding out on Pai?" Mint had asked.

"Mint!" she had shrieked, so surprised that her face had turned red.

"Yeah, what's going on with that?" Ichigo had asked with a smirk.

"Th-that's...uh, it's none of your business," she replied softly, her 
blush deepening.

"So you definitely haven't done it yet," Ichigo replied.

"Ha! I told you guys," said Mint.

"Is it because you're afraid to or something?" Pudding asked. "Because 
there's totally nothing to be afraid of and it's great!"

"It really isn't that bad," the catgirl said, trying to be a bit more 
serious. "If you're ready, at least. It's a great way to express your 
love and we all know he loves you as much as you love him." Zakuro 
nodded in agreement, her only contribution to the discussion.

Between her friends' teasing and then kind urging, Lettuce started to 
wonder if they were right. Though it hadn't bothered her much before 
that she was most likely the last virgin in her group, or at least the 
last to do anything remotely sexual, it made her wonder if she was 
really missing out on something.

After all, she did love Pai with all her heart, and she did want to be 
able to show that to him. She had been with him long enough to know that 
he cared just as much about her, and she wondered if he had been 
thinking the same things. Either way, she was growing tired of being the 
last one on her team, and she decided to do something a little out of 
character: she was going to take matters into her own hands.

~X~

The day that she was going to put her plans into action, Lettuce was 
nervous as hell. The whole group was going to the beach and staying at 
Ryou's beach house. It was going to be a fun getaway for all, and the 
most romantic setting she could think of for something like this. All 
she had to do was get over her nerves and get Pai alone, and then hope 
that she was right about him wanting this too.

It had been a long day of fun on the beach and then a nice dinner. 
Rather than changing out of her green bikini and going inside with the 
others, she asked Pai if he wanted to swim with her a little bit more. 
He started to cite the dangers of swimming in the dark, but she reminded 
him of her aquatic enhancements and he agreed at last, never able to 
turn her down for long.

The two begun to walk down the pier, Lettuce swaying her hips quite a 
bit more than she usually would. It was almost more than she could bear, 
but she managed to hide her nerves as she walked with confidence, hoping 
that he noticed just how she was behaving and figured out the intent 
behind it. She kept this up until she reached the end of the pier and 
looked back at him before she jumped, giving him a playful smile before 
diving.

She broke the surface of the water, dropping beneath. Once upon a time, 
that would have been enough to terrify her, but now she had no problem 
with it and swam back up to the surface, just in time to see Pai dive in 
after her.

When he came back above the surface, she smiled at him again and the 
water beneath her glowed as she transformed her lower half into a 
mermaid tail. "Come on," she said, "follow me! I know just the place!" 
She then grabbed his arms and wrapped them around her torso, diving deep 
beneath the water as he held on.

When he held her like that, he was able to breathe underwater just as he 
was, and so she was able to swim rather deep with him without worrying. 
There was a full moon that night, so they had a good view of everything 
underwater and she took advantage of that, showing Pai all sorts of 
beautiful things that she had seen. There was a reef that was absolutely 
gorgeous and teeming with undersea life, the colorful fish swimming 
about without a care in the world.

Soon, they reached a rocky tunnel that she guided him through, and came 
above water in a cave. The moonlight gave it a warm and inviting feeling 
not typically associated with caves, and made it quite the romantic 
setting. It was the perfect place for what Lettuce had in mind for the 
night.

"This is quite beautiful," said Pai as he took in the sights around 
them. He climbed out of the water, looking around and not watching as 
she transformed back into a human, stepping out of the water, missing 
the bottom half of her bikini.

She sat on the ground behind him, spreading her legs as he turned 
around. His mouth hung agape as he realized that she was not wearing 
anything on her lower half. She reached out her arms to him as she said, 
"I want you to make love to me, Pai!"

"I...I..." He was clearly flustered, his pale face turning a deep shade 
of red. "Is that why...you wanted to come out here?"

"I wanted it to be romantic," she replied, trying to hide her inner 
terror. He hadn't given her a direct answer yet and she was paranoid 
enough to wonder if that meant that he didn't want her.

"Well, you didn't have to go to those lengths just for me," he replied, 
more humble than she was used to hearing from him. "You could have asked 
me anywhere, and I still wouldn't have been able to resist you." The 
sincerity in his voice caused all her fears to melt away, and a very 
real confidence replaced the artificial one that she had been wearing 
all day.

He closed the distance between them, dropping down to sit next to her. 
Though he was just as inexperienced as she was in some matters, they 
were both equally experienced in other things, and he pulled her into 
his arms as he began to passionately kiss her, something they had done 
many times before. But tonight was different, both because of the 
romantic setting and the weight of what they were about to do.

When their lips parted, they didn't speak. Pai was often not a wordy 
individual, but Lettuce had never minded that. Whenever he did have 
something to say, it was often something she could relate to, and they 
spent many quiet afternoons reading together. But their silence, much 
like their kiss, was different this time, and he gently laid her down on 
her back.

She wrapped her legs around his waist to help the positioning, and he 
pressed the tip of his already-hard cock against her entrance. He gave 
her a questioning look, making sure that she was still ready, and she 
nodded. With a gentle smile that he had only ever shown to her, he 
slowly and gently began to press inside of her.

Lettuce winced as she adjusted to the sudden pressure as she began to 
stretch around his member. He was big, which would take some getting 
used to, but it wasn't a bad feeling and he was being as gentle as 
possible. It was a tight fit, but it was a comfortable fit, a perfect 
fit, and he continued to ease his way inside of her.

She whimpered in pleasure as he filled her completely, staring up into 
his eyes and smiling. When she had grown used to having him inside of 
her, he slowly began to rock his hips, creating a small amount of 
friction. Just that little bit felt fantastic to both of them and he 
throbbed within her, overcome with the sheer pleasure of the sensation. 
Lettuce arched her back to meet him, grinding against him.

He could feel her growing tighter around him as she began to grow close 
to her first orgasm. It was quick, but she felt so amazing that she 
could not hold back, and she moaned quietly as her body was wracked with 
the tremors of her orgasm. Pai managed to hold out despite the spasms of 
her pussy feeling so amazing. Instead, he continued to thrust into her, 
picking up speed a bit.

He didn't give her a chance to recover from her climax, thrusting harder 
and faster. She had been left wanting more and he knew it and intended 
to give it to her. Her moans grew louder and louder as she grew less and 
less shy about this; it was good that she had chosen such a secluded 
place to do this, as it allowed her to be much less inhibited about 
things.

She looked up at him with such love and devotion that that alone was 
enough to make this enjoyable for him. But that, coupled with the tight 
sensation of being completely engulfed within her? It was absolutely 
perfect, beyond description. He felt so lucky to have found someone like 
her. They were perfect for each other and so very in love, and now they 
had the chance to express that.

They both felt their pleasure mounting, Lettuce for the second time, and 
his thrusts picked up in speed as he tried to create even more friction. 
He could hardly control himself, fucking her hard and fast, a stark 
contrast to the gentle way this had all started, but neither of them was 
complaining. Even if they had wanted to, they were too out of breath to 
do anything of the sort.

He engulfed her mouth in another kiss, slowing down as he felt himself 
reach the very peak. She was there too and he could tell, their kiss 
managing to be the final push for the both of them. The last sensation 
he felt before he was overloaded with pleasure was the taste of her lips 
on his, and then he came. He was surprised that there was not the 
blinding light behind his eyes that had been described by many a book in 
the past; perhaps they chose a description like that because there was 
no way to describe the experience.

If there was anything, any sort of color or light, when he closed his 
eyes, it was too quick and explosive and changing for him to tell what 
it was, and pleasure did not even begin to describe how it felt. And 
though it was Lettuce's second orgasm, it was much better than the 
first, which now seemed like a tiny appetizer in comparison to what she 
felt now.

When they pulled their lips apart to catch their breath and started to 
come down from their shared climax, she smiled at him, blue eyes shining 
with adoration. After all her worrying and planning, they had finally 
done it, and it had been so much better than she had anticipated.

He pulled out of her, shifting their positions so that he sat with his 
back against a cave wall, with Lettuce in between his legs, laying 
against his chest. The two rested their for a bit in the afterglow, just 
enjoying holding each other. Every now and then, he would kiss the top 
of her head and she would give him a squeeze, tiny reminders that they 
were there together, that they loved each other.

After a while of that, she nuzzled him and said, "How are you feeling?"

"Do you really need to ask?" he replied.

"No, I mean, are you tired?" She looked up at him with a grin that he 
rarely saw on the shy girl, and immediately got her meaning.

"No, I'm not tired in the slightest," he said. "Would you like to...do 
more of that?" He was already growing hard at the thought.

"I have an idea," she replied, still sounding much bolder than he was 
used to. "When I'm in my mermaid form, I'm still capable of that. The 
anatomy isn't as different as you might think, and you can breathe 
underwater as long as you're holding onto me. Would you like to try 
things underwater this time?"

"I think that sounds excellent," he replied, managing to keep his voice 
the cool and calm one she was used to despite the excitement that was 
building. It had been so great the first time, he was sure that it would 
only be better the second, and there were not a lot of men who could say 
that they could do that completely submerged in water. It would most 
likely be a completely unique experience for them.

He stood up then, offering her his hand as he helped her up. They walked 
back over to the water and dived in, one after the other. He saw the 
bright light that indicated her transformation, and then she bore her 
tail. Wrapping his arms around her, he held on tight and she dived 
beneath the surface and began to swim with him, much faster than any 
human- or alien, for that matter- could swim.

Soon, they reached an area of open water with plenty of space and a 
beautiful view of the reef. It was even more romantic than the cave had 
been, and the perfect place for them to express their love again. Still 
holding him, she pulled away just a little bit to face him properly. She 
took one of his hands and guided it down to show him how this would 
work.

Just below where her tail met flesh, exactly where it would be on her in 
human form, was pussy, and, though her tail was as scaly as a fish would 
be, when Pai inserted a finger, he found that it felt exactly the same 
on the inside as it had in her human form. He gave her a smile to let 
her know that he was definitely into that idea.

She didn't need as much warming up this time, so he quickly positioned 
himself and began to press the tip in. He had expected it to still feel 
a little bit rough, trying to enter her from her tail, but it wasn't. In 
fact, it was just as easy- perhaps a little easier, since it wasn't her 
first time now.

The water flowing smoothly around them as they floated and bobbed gently 
added to the experience, adding a tranquility to the act that he 
supposed must be hard to achieve otherwise. Neither were tense at all 
and it was easy for him to fit his member all the way inside of her. She 
let out a soft gasp, smiling as she felt him enter her, and this time, 
he wrapped his legs around her. It was easier that way, since they were 
completely upright and she was keeping them afloat.

Once he was comfortably inside her, he began to pump in and out, moaning 
softly and nearly soundlessly into the water. Her tail curled around his 
back to draw him deeper in, increasing the power behind his thrusts. 
They locked eyes as he grew rougher with his movements, getting swept 
away in his passion. Lettuce didn't mind this at all, surprised to 
discover that she enjoyed it when he got a little bit more forceful with 
her.

But no matter how rough his fucking became, there was nothing but love 
in his actions, and he did nothing that could potentially hurt her. He 
wanted it to be perfect for the both of them, and she certainly felt 
that it was. She used her tail to pull him even deeper, encouraging to 
go harder at her. She felt herself nearing an orgasm, and could feel 
that he was growing close as well.

Both tried to hold out for a little bit longer, loving their second time 
even more than the first with how different it felt, suspended in the 
water like this. Prolonging this could only work for so long, however, 
and as soon as Lettuce started to tense up, Pai knew that he could not 
withstand anymore either. He held tight onto her, giving her another few 
thrusts to bring her the rest of the way there.

She let out a sharp breath, overwhelmed with pleasure as she came, and 
as she did, she felt Pai release inside of her as the spasms of her 
walls brought him to orgasm. She tipped her head back a bit, letting the 
ecstasy wash over her in waves similar to the ocean they gently bobbed 
in. When they had both finished coming, she began to swim him back to 
shore.

He was clearly exhausted now, and she was quite tired herself, having 
only just enough strength to finish the swim back to the beach house, 
where they would be sharing a room for the night. When they reached 
land, the two walked back together, hand in hand, silent. They didn't 
need to say anything tonight; all of it had already been said.

When they made it back to the beach house, they crept silently back to 
their room to avoid waking anyone up. Lettuce knew that, in the morning, 
she would have to face questions from her friends, who would have 
noticed how late she had been out, but she didn't care at that moment. 
The only thing she cared about then was the one she snuggling up in bed 
next to, the one whose arms she was falling asleep in.
