It had felt like an eternity, but in reality it had only been a month since he had seen her. They chose to go and explore more of the things of this world they were living in and while most of it was beautiful and amazing, none had been able to compare to her.

Meruem, Pitou, and Pouf had been traveling, seeing villages, ruins, waterfalls all sorts of natural beauties. Meruem enjoyed seeing these new things and just how nature worked and how everything had it's place and knew it's role here. Yet at the back of his mind he still managed to compare things to Komugi. As if looking into a waterfall and the sun rays hitting it to show a near opalescence in color would remind him of her eyes; he could not wait to return back to her. They traveled by air, Meruem and Pouf flying while Pitou either would store the energy in her legs and pounce long distances or just being carried

He still worried that something bad may happen while they were gone but knew in his heart that Youpi would be a shield for her, as he was for him. Komugi had refused to come saying things like "I would just get in the way", "If I go you'll be focusing on my safety more than actually seeing what's around", or "I would not be able to see anything anyways." She somehow managed to convince him to go on and enjoy himself, needing to see more than just the the little island village they had become accustom to. Meruem asked Youpi to stay back and to protect her with his life. With Youpi's abilities he could easily fend off anything that might come to harm her.

Eating a peach that they had actually bought from a village, after the bouts of fear and curiosity swept through them from seeing a Chimera Ant, they had all thought them of a myth and continued shouting how the ants eat trio just stood still, exasperated from all the commotion until they gave them a chance to speak, Meruem felt a slight twinge of wanting to slice them apart, he could easily kill any of these humans. Once there was finally silence the trio informed them that those times were over and all they wanted now was to learn new things. It was true, none of them had eaten a human for years and they planned to keep it that way if it let them continue to live in peace.

The peach was sweet and juicy and Meruem quite enjoyed the flavor, and began reminiscing of his times with Komugi. Although now they were only a days journey back to the places they now called home and Meruem could not help but feel a bit excited to see his dearest again. He remembered when they first met and how he thought she was an utter fool. Now he saw a brilliant being, one he could easily talk to about any sort of knowledge. How she had gone from appearing as this frail girl to her features becoming more womanly. She had not grown much taller since they had been together but he had noticed how her curves become more defined and how slender her neck had become. He was not sure when exactly this change had occurred. Perhaps a year or so before they got married.

He looked at the gold band around his middle finger; it was difficult to figure out which finger they should put it on since he only had 3 and a thumb but the figured the middle one would be the best choice in the matter. He smiled warmly, remembering the glow about Komugi in her white dress and the smile across her face. She was stunning and knowing this being wanted to live the rest of her life with him made his heart swell. Then when they had their first time in the act of procreation, he felt as though their souls had intertwined and both had rather enjoyed themselves to the fullest. Other than the fear that raced through his body when she had fainted, only to find out he pleased her too well. The look on her face as he found the spot that drove her crazy, the sounds she made, her taste, the feel of her skin against his, the feeling of ecstacy that surged through his body.

*SQUISH!*

"Lord Meruem, are you alright?"

He was pulled out of his thoughts at the sound of his once Royal Guards voice, he no longer wanted the honorific when they spoke his name but with all this time, they have continued no matter how many times he had asked.

"I am fine... why do you ask?" he looked at them, seeing faces of confusion and worry on the two

Pouf, the man with the butterfly wings, pointed to Meruem's hand "You destroyed your peach, sire"

Meruem looked at where he was pointing and saw the only thing left in his hand was the pit of the peach. Bits of it having exploded in every direction "... So I have"

"Nya... you have been doing that to things a lot on this trip... Are you sure you don't want me to give you a checkup?" The cat like ant, Pitou asked, already radiating in nen

"I am certain" he replied, dropping the pit and wiping himself off, peach juice and the meat being up his arm and face.

Pouf offered a handkerchief "This might help"

Meruem offered a thanks, which made Pouf a crying mess. You would think by now he would be over that.

Pitou, no longer glowing said "It will not be long til we get back, you have no need to worry, nya"

The 2 walked beside Meruem, he did not destroy the peach out of worry though like his colleagues had thought. It seemed whatever he was handling or touching, and if he so happened to think of Komugi in such a way at that time, would explode or crush from his sheer grip. He did not know why this happened and the number of things destroyed continued to increase the longer they were gone. Perhaps his destructive side was returning? Or maybe he just missed the sound and touch of his love. He hoped that he did not crush her once they were reunited.

His guards had also began informing him of other strange things he had been doing, such as when he would wake the other 2 from him repeating Komugi's name in his sleep, sometimes his face looked strained while doing so, which they did not understand even further. Meruem could not recall having any dreams but did not doubt that it happened.

As Meruem began to recognize their surroundings his heart began to pound faster. He told the other two that he was fine on his own from here and that they should go straight to their shared house and catch up on some rest. They did as they were told and felt warm from him caring about their well beings, making Pouf cry once again. Once his house was in sight, he picked up his pace, ready to be inside. Once at the door he swung it open, Youpi was in the kitchen cooking something but from where Meruem was standing, he could not tell what. On the other side, Komugi sat on the floor, placing Gungi pieces on her board and Meruem's heart filled.

"Im home" He stated. Not a yell, not a whisper but enough for them to hear him.

Youpi jolted from the sudden voice "Oh! Welcome back, Lord Meruem!" He dipped his head in respect and returned to his creation

"AH!" Komugi jumped up and dusted herself off in such a hurry she almost fell over. Upon regaining stability she nearly sprinted towards his voice and stood in front of where she believed she heard him from and gave a huge loving grin.

She was correct in her guess and once her smile flashed at Meruem he felt his heart was going to burst. He noticed she was wearing a sleeveless turtleneck and a skirt to her knees, her messy hair down and over a shoulder in a misshapen braid. On another note natural light about her seemed to be slightly different. He could not pin what exactly it was that made it seem that way. Was it brighter? Did it get larger? Had the color changed? These went through his mind before deciding that it didn't matter because now they were reunited.

Komugi put a guessing hand forward until it touched him, she gave a slight squeal of excitement and wrapped her arms around him in a tight hug, as tight as she could manage at least. He returned her affection and squeezed back. He felt he could drown in her warmth, he was so glad that they were reunited again. Her scent filled his lungs and light taps on his back broke him out of it. "Meruem... I can't... breathe.."

Meruem quickly loosened his grip but didn't let go, that would not happen again. Once Komugi caught her breath again she giggled, causing a chuckle out of Meruem "I apologize.. I was just so happy to see you again.. I guess I failed to realize just how much pressure I was using"

"It's okay!" She said through giggles, "it helped me see how much you missed me" Her smile was contagious and now Meruem could not stop either

"So what all happened while I was gone?" Meruem asked in a cuddle

"Youpi has been really interested in some cooking shows. I tried to get into it but i don't know a lot of the names of the stuff they were using so I couldn't really get into it. But Youpi has made some great meals! Everything has tasted great!"A quiet thank you was heard from the kitchen along with chopping

"I tried to teach Youpi how to play Gungi but he could not wrap his mind around it so that ended quickly.. He also tried to read to me like you do but he uh... doesn't really know how to." The last part came as a whisper so Youpi could not hear her. "I was able to harvest some of my plants too and they were used in a few of his dishes and they were great, but mostly," She placed her head on his chest and lightly laid a hand on him " I missed you"

"I missed you too" Meruem stroked her hair and placed his cheek on top of her head.

"What did you miss about me?" Komugi asked, turning her head to face his with a big goofy grin.

Meruem chuckled, twirling a stray hair "Your smile for one.. the way you try to look at me, just being in your presence again is a comfort... the intensity around you when we play Gungi.. I even missed losing to you"

Komugi laughed at the last part and balanced on her tip toes to give him a kiss, which resulted in another... and another " It felt as though you were gone forever.. And now that you are back, it's as though you had never left" she stated, rubbing one of the arms he had around her waist, "It's strange.. I missed the way you feel, the safety I feel just having you around... You're voice.." she reached up again "Your lips" and planted a more intense kiss on him.

"A month," Meruem breathed after breaking the kiss "Is far too long to be away from you." He stroked Komugi's cheek, faces barely an inch apart

"I completely agree" She said, moving her hands to his cheeks, feeling the warmth under his skin. She lightly brushed her lips on his, not exactly in a kiss but enough to make Meruem want more. He kissed her gently which quickly became more intense and hot between the two.

"So I guess im going to go now" Upon seeing the love birds Youpi made the decision to stop everything he was doing and to leave, figuring the couple needed some time alone. Neither of them heard him speak, the stopping of the chopping noise, his footsteps or the door close.

Meruem broke the kiss, both breathing heavy, their bodies screaming for more. "did you miss me" Meruem suddenly tugged her body impossibly closer to his and slightly grinded against her "in this way?"

"Oh God..." she spoke through a shaky breath "for about the first week I-i was fine" she moved her hand up his forearm, grabbing it with her head facing down "but then I started to want you almost daily" She moved her head until it faced his

"Tell me what you missed about this"

"I missed.. Feeling your body against mine, your h-hot breath on my skin... feeling your teeth against me..." Her voice drew quieter as she spoke, fighting a tremble as the words came out, face becoming redder with each word "How you fill me up inside... and know just what to do to get my heart racing" Her face was beet red but she continued to face him "what did you miss about me 'in this way'?" She quoted him and gave a embarrassed grin

"Mmmm... Let's see." He moved a stray hair out of her face "I missed the taste of your lips, your skin, feeling your bodies reactions to mine.." His voice low as he moved his face to where the tip of his nose trailed the skin against her neck. "the sounds you make"

She shuddered as he breathed against the skin by her ear and said "The way you scream my name"

That was it, Komugi crashed her lips into his with a fevered kiss, which he quickly returned, and jumped up, wrapping her legs around his waist. He carried her to the closest counter and sat her there, placing his hands on either side of her body. "If this isn't what you want... Tell me" He said, praying that this was exactly what she wanted

"I want it" she breathed as his chest pressed into hers. Komugi leaned into him, tilting her chin and brushing a light kiss against his lips. Her proximity was driving Meruem mad but he wanted to take his time with this, not go full force since it had been so long.

His body on the other hand wanted her now, returning her kiss with a deep forceful one. Komugi melted against him, her hands reaching to the back of the shell like structure on his head, grabbing tightly. Meruem let his hands travel down her body, resting firmly on the swell of her hips and pulled her forward, crushing her to him.

She gave gasped at the sudden movement, giving a light moan as his tongue entered her mouth, teasing her in the way she liked. he shimmied off his vest and His hands traveled up her skirt, feeling and grabbing her thighs. But when he tried to put his hands up further, Komugi broke the kiss and stopped his curious digits.

"N-not yet.. there's something I want to do for you first" She stated, face red as she opened her eyes to face him, a twinkle of lust sparkling in them.

"Hmm? What do you have in mind?" Meruem asked, chest still heaving from the heat of the moment

"I-I want you to get in the bed.. and sit with your back against the headboard and close your eyes.. Please?"

"If you say so.." Meruem reluctantly let go and started heading for their bedroom. He did as she asked of him, closing his eyes, seeing nothing but black. The coolness of the metal head board seeping into his back.

From all their previous times in being intimate and managing to break their bed they had finally decided it was time for one made of something different and bought a metal bed frame, head board and foot board. Hoping metal would not have to be so easily broken and shattered as the wood had been.

"A-are your eyes closed?" He heard Komugi ask

"Yes they are"

"Ok.. I believe you.. Please keep them closed until I tell you to open them, okay?"

He replied with an okay, wondering what on earth she could have planned. He felt the edge of the bed sheet moving as what he guessed was her hand gliding across it until he felt her hand on his arm. She moved it to where his hand was pointing to the ceiling, some fidgeting and her hand was gone, but his was fastened into place. Strange.. She did the same thing on the other side of him. What was she doing?

He felt pressure on the bed that grew closer to him until that pressure was sitting in his lap "Okay.. you can open your eyes now.."

He did and the first thing he looked at was his hand, it was bound by what appeared to be a ribbon to a metal bar on the headboard of the bed

"W-.. what do you think?" Meruem's train of thought changed when he looked at her. Komugi had the same type of ribbon that was around his wrist wrapped around her body. The red satin wrapped around her neck like a choker with the bow tying in the back. It compressed her chest and was enough to just cover her nipples, it made and 'X' shape over her stomach and wrapped around her waist and thighs to cover between her legs. She sat with her hands on his chest, arms on both sides of her breasts, accentuating them.

It was hard for him to speak looking at her this way, her weight resting on Meruem's hips, her eyes half lidded and her lips ever so slightly parted, she was nothing short of stunning. "Sexy" was all he managed to say, although he did not think Komugi heard him as she reached up to one of his hands, not reacting in the slightest at what he had said, breasts inches from his face "Please try your best not to break out of these.. I want to try this for you." Her face went back in front of his, deeply kissing him and then leaving to trail kisses down his jawline.

His body shook from the feeling of her being so exposed so close to him, and yet he could not touch her. It was maddening and she kissed down his neck. "I want you... so much" He managed to say

Komugi gave a devilish grin that made him bite his lip "Good.. then this is working the way it should" She continued to leave kisses down his body

"W-Where did you.." He let out a heavy breath as she kissed the skin right above his member "Get the idea for this?"

She breathed on him and his whole body trembled "I felt bad because.. Every time we have had sex you have made me come over and over before you get to even once, so I want to do it this way to try and... even the playing field, so to speak" she grabbed the bottom of his shaft and lightly squeezed. Meruem grunted as his body jolted from her touch, making Komugi smiled knowingly as she licked the tip, making Meruem strain against not breaking his binds.

Her hand began pumping his base as her tongue swirled and dipped along his length. Meruem's body felt on fire with her touches and found himself having a hard time trying to stay still. Her hand and tongue teased him a bit more before she let out light moan and wrapped her mouth around his erect member and began bobbing her head, making Meruem's thighs shake and a gasp escape his throat.

The warm wetness of her mouth around him felt so good, he unintentionally started to lightly grind into her mouth, causing more of a reaction from him when she started to use her tongue while in the process of sucking. She increased her pace, sucking him harder in her warm mouth. Her hands fondled him harder as her mouth worked, tongue swirling, causing Meruem to huskily whisper her name.

Komugi continued to pump him but stopped sucking as she tried to catch her breath, the cool air tingled against his member but it quickly began to warm up as Komugi increased her motions. What was left of her saliva, acting as a sort of lubricant, was quickly leaving. His breathing now was heavy and ragged with sweat building on his skin.

"What are you wanting?" Komugi asked, one hand working while the other was planted firmly on his chest, face towards his with her eyes sparkling.

He took in a ragged breath before answering "I want to free myself.. rip those off of your body and ravage you. I want to hear you cry out my name and to kiss you and feel your squirming body under me. I want to feel inside you" He growled

Komugi's body quivered at his proposition "I want you to feel," she said, Meruem attentatively watched her every movement as she moved the ribbon from between her legs "how much I want you" she put herself over his member and let his tip feel how slick she was. Meruem did not think he could get turned on any further, but feeling how wet she was in this moment took him further than he thought he could go. He moaned and Komugi quickly moved higher up on him as he inadvertedly bucked from the feeling, not wanting him inside quite yet. His fingers causing dent in the metal bars as he squeezed them. Her hot breath on his neck sent tingles up his spine as she moved up, licking the tendril from his ear and placing her lips on it. Trailing her tongue back down his neck, for the first time, she bit him. Meruem could feel the bundle of nerves growing in his abdomen and that bite spurred the heat in his body to burn magma hot. He bit his own forearm to try and stop himself from taking control.

Until he was struck with an idea, his tail curled higher onto the bed "You know," He said huskily as his tail slipped between her thighs "My hands are not the only things you should have tied back" A devilish grin spread on his face as his tail pressed up between her thighs, causing a hot breath out of her throat. His tail quickly began moving back and forth, pressing harder against her covered warmth. Her breathing picked up pace and so did her hand on his throbbing member. Their faces were barely an inch from eachother, both breathing heavily through parted lips, faces scrounging in pleasure.

He wanted to kiss her but she would not let him, when his breath felt close to her lips she moved away, only kissing his neck. He pressed his tail further against her, the back and forth motion speeding up to the point where Komugi could not keep up with it. He watched her face wantingly as it filled with delight and a loud moan, dripping in ecstacy escaped from her throat.

The sound of metal clanged against the floor as Meruem attacked Komugi in a heavy deep kiss, his body pinning her against the mattress. His hands finally doing what they had been wanting to since this whole thing started, began grabbing handfuls of her skin. Taking in the feel of her soft skin against his hands, how good it felt just to grab her and hear her light moans.

"H-how did you-?" Komugi asked, breathless against him

"I did as you asked of me, feel, the binds are not broken" He smirked, bringing his wandering hand up to hers.

She felt around his wrist and, sure enough, it was still intact. Her face filled with surprise and then calmed, bringing her face closer to his, lips almost touching "You never fail to amaze me"

"I can say the same to you" he mused, their breath mingling together. "I may be a bit rough," Meruem started, at the word 'rough' Komugi visibly shuddered, biting hard on her lip.

"Th-that sounds," She took a shaky inhale "really good" Her body arched and rubbed against his, only increasing the intensity of the nerves bundling within him.

Her reaction to that surprised Meruem and only made him feel hotter, making him grind against her. Komugi's lips quivered in anticipation, jolting instinctually when his hand felt between her legs.

"How are you so wet already when I've barely begun touching you?"

"W-well before we were in bed, all of that got me going and well..," Komugi began rubbing her hand on his heaving chest "All the noises you made too...It.. excites me knowing that I can make you sound that way or want me this badly"

He pressed his tip against her clothed core "Then I suppose.." He brought his body closer to Komugi's "I need to free you of this" he placed a finger under the ribbon around her throat, she nodded hastily "So should I untie-," He brought himself closer to her ear "or tear off" She bit her lip, her body squirming

He smirked "Maybe I'll take my time"

Komugi was about to protest when he pulled the string of the bow behind her neck, loosening it and letting it come undone. The feel of the small piece of satin sliding across her skin made her jolt and gasp. Placing a hand between her breasts he pulled up, taking the ribbon with it. Upon freeing her chest he grabbed and massaged at her mounds, lightly nibbling on one before moving to the other. Komugi's breath quickened and she lifted her back off the mattress to allow Meruem to loosen the 'X' around her torso, feeling and grabbing her curves as he did so. Mouth placing kisses and gliding his teeth along where the ribbon was, making Komugi cover her mouth as her body twitched.

He moved further down to her waist and the bundle of ribbon there. He hummed against her skin before putting a piece of the ribbon in his mouth and tearing with his teeth, the feeling of his breath, teeth, the sliding of the ribbon down there was driving Komugi crazy and her whole body shuddered. Meruem continued tearing with his teeth until they went slack and he pulled them off easily.

"Now then" He grabbed her legs, pulling her closer to his body and positioned himself above "I shouldn't keep you waiting"

"Please, Meruem" She grabbed his member, causing a grunt "I need you"

She shuddered at the feeling of him entering her. He slowly pushed in the tip and in one swift forceful thrust was deep inside, eliciting loud moans from the 2. Komugi threw her head back into the mattress, savoring how big and thick he felt. He started at a decent pace, quickening and adding more force with each thrust. The sound of skin on skin and breathy moans filled their bedroom.

"You're.. so tight.. hah" Meruem moaned, Not an inch between their bodies.

He was moving so fast and so hard, Komugi's sense were quickly overwhelmed. She had no idea someone could move this fast and with so much sheer force. She could not control her moans, let alone the volume, or the drool coming from her mouth.

"oh my G-Ah! You-you feel so GOO-HA" It was a task just trying to speak with how good her insides felt. How could somebody move like this? She wrapped her arms around his neck, trying to move her body with his, but he was far too fast. she could not do anything other than take it, she was not complaining though. Everything he did to her felt amazing.

Meruem grabbed her bottom and squeezed, getting deeper, turning his head and letting his nose touch hers before placing an intense kiss on Komugi. Swallowing eachothers moans until Komugi needed to breathe. He grabbed her legs and pushed them up to plunge further within her. Komugi did not know it was possible for him to go that far, that she was that flexible, or how her body could feel so much. She raked her nails across his back in pure ecstacy.

As he barreled into her he noticed at some point the light in her eyes faded and she looked as if she were beginning to go unconscious for a second before the light came back to them. Perhaps his eyes were becoming clouded in ecstacy

"Komugi" He growled into the nape of her neck, biting down with each wave of pleasure sent through his body. "I'm going to cover you in my marks" He grabbed her bottom and squeezed, making her even more breathless "Everyone will know you are mine"

"I- ahh I don't know how much M-ORE! I can handle" Komugi managed to say through gasps of pleasure.

"I don't know NN for myself either" Meruem admitted, the bundle of nerves in his abdomen on the edge. "Say my name"

"Meruem" she called out, hearing her say his name pushed him even closer

"Louder" he commanded, grabbing her thighs tightly

"MERUEM!" She moaned

"LOUDER!" He could feel her walls starting to convulse, she just needed to say it one more time, he slammed her down onto him with more force than he had been using

"AAHH MERUEMM!" The white of her climax overcoming her senses

"KOMUGII" They cried out in unison, achieving the most intense climaxes that they had ever had. Meruem's tail coiling tightly, nails digging and tearing at the mattress as Komugi's dug into his skin. Shocks of electricity going all throughout their bodies like little fireworks as they came, sharing their juices with one another.

After they had rode out their orgasms they laid there, nose to nose, catching their breath until Meruem rolled to the side of Komugi, still facing her. "I believe," Komugi, eyes half lidded and face flushed turned towards his voice "That you are the only being in existence that can make me so breathless."

Her cheeks became a shade redder at that "That makes me feel good" she smiled at his statement, feeling the honesty within it. "I think... that was the best we had ever done"

"I agree, it felt amazing being in you again" Meruem moved a stray hair out of her face

"And you actually came when I did!"

Meruem gave a breathy laugh "Probably caused from all that teasing you did, maybe I should leave more often" He joked

"Nooooo! You are not allowed to leave me again!" She lightly smacked his chest and he laughed

"I'm not leaving again in a long time, and that time it WILL be with you as well, no choice.

Komugi gave a light laugh "I sure hope so, we also didn't break the bed!" Komugi mused

Meruem chuckled "Then it was a good thing we picked this out" He caressed her cheek and Komugi snuggled into it.

"So were you wearing that ribbon stuff all day? How did you figure out how to put it on?" He asked

"Well to be honest I had been fiddling with it all day and having to feel to see if it was doing what I wanted it to do and I for sure as heck wasn't going to have Youpi help me! That would've been too weird! And it was planned for all three of you to return home today so i did want to kind of surprise you"

"Well I think you achieved your goal"

She laughed lightly "I'm so happy that you're back home" her smile became warmer, making Meruem's heart swell

"Me too" he kissed her forehead and she giggled "But while we were in the act, I noticed at some point you looked on the verge of falling unconscious.. Are you alright?"

"Oh.. Yeah. I'm fine it's just" She felt around for his hand and he grabbed hers and squeezed

"What's the matter?" He was beginning to worry

"Recently for some reason i have been having dizzy spells to the point where I feel like i need to lay down.. and I have been very nauseous." She squeezed his hand back "If-if I remember correctly.. This is what my mother experienced everytime she was.."

"She was what?" Meruem brought his face closer

"When she was pregnant.." Meruem's eyes widened in interest "I don't know if I am or not and it isn't like I can look at a test and see if it is positive or not so I have no idea, but I think this is how she described it"

"I think I know how to tell" Meruem stated

"Do what?"

"You remember how i have told you that every human being has a life force called Nen?"

"Yes"

"Well, I have a feeling that if I look at yours, I may be able to see something"

"OH! Then do it! It's been bothering me not knowing what's going on with my body!"

Meruem looked at her Nen, the dazzlingly brilliant light that shone from within her always put him in awe. Then, right in her abdomen, a tiny ball of different colored light. It was not her color and it was not his, but a combination of the 2 thriving inside of her. Meruem could not stop the smile that spread on his face, nor the sudden warmth in his chest.

"you are" he breathed, astounded

Komugi brimmed in excitement "Really?"

"Yes," He embraced her happily "we're going to be parents" He suddenly let go of Komugi "Do you think I hurt the baby?" He asked, worry tinged in his voice

"I'm fine so i'm sure it is too" she giggled "So now what? Are we going to sleep or-"

Meruem shot himself back on top of her and chuckled "I'm not done with you yet" and began grinding and biting her neck

"Meruem!" she gasped
