Ash's eyes blinked open to the soft morning light spilling through the curtains. For a moment, he thought he was still dreaming — because when he turned his head, he found Uta lying beside him on the bed.
She was already dressed and ready for the day, her bright eyes fixed on him with a gentle smile.
He gave a lazy grin. "Morning, beautiful." Reaching up, he brushed aside the strand of hair that fell over her eye.
Uta giggled, her voice light and melodic. "Morning, handsome."
Ash suddenly reached forward and pulled her closer, catching her off guard. She let out a small squeal as she tumbled onto his chest, laughter bubbling out of her. Her palms pressed against his bare chest, feeling the warmth of his skin.
Their eyes met — close enough to feel each other's breath. Then, without a word, Uta leaned in and kissed him softly.
When they finally broke apart, Ash chuckled, his hand still resting on her waist. "You know, I haven't even brushed my teeth yet."
Uta smirked, tracing lazy circles on his chest with her finger. "So what? I like kissing my boyfriend however he is."
Ash laughed, his voice low and affectionate. "Really now?" She nodded, her eyes glimmering with that same playful spark.
He leaned up and kissed her again — deeper this time — before finally pulling back with a smile. "Alright, give me a few minutes before you devour me. I'll freshen up and be right back."
Uta rolled onto her stomach, humming softly. "Mhm~ don't keep a girl waiting too long."
That made Ash laugh before he stole another quick kiss and got up to freshen up.
When he came back, fully dressed and ready, Uta was still lounging comfortably on his bed — shaping streams of water into different forms as she pleased.
Ash paused in the doorway, smiling at the sight. She'd grown much better with her control over her Devil Fruit powers. A small tortoise of water floated lazily in the air, its body glimmering under the morning light, until she noticed him watching.
With a graceful wave, Uta dispersed the water into vapor and walked toward him with a smile.
Ash met her halfway, his hands naturally finding her waist. "Wow, you've really gotten good at manipulating water."
Uta giggled, pride softening her voice. "Well, it's thanks to your help — and the girls." She looked up at him as she said it, her expression tender.
Ash chuckled, looking down at her. "Well, if my guess is right… today's your day with me."
Uta nodded with a bright smile in confirmation. Ash tilted his head. "So, any plans for today?"
She shook her head lazily. "No. I just want to spend a relaxing day with you. Even staying in bed all day sounds perfect," she said, then smirked teasingly. "Maybe with some extra fun at the end."
Ash laughed, brushing his thumb along her cheek. "Heh, tempting offer. But how about a stroll and a picnic first? Then a walk — and after that… maybe your extra fun."
Uta's eyes lit up immediately. "Sure."
She looped her arms around his and leaned against him as they walked out together, smiles matching — the morning beginning just right.
After a quiet breakfast at Makino's, Ash and Uta spent the morning wandering through Windmill Village. The locals greeted them warmly. Uta laughed, linking her arm tighter through his as they walked past the familiar streets lined with shops and stalls.
By midday, they'd drifted toward the outskirts of the Goa Kingdom, stopping at small vendors, tasting local snacks, and occasionally getting caught up in Uta's impulsive curiosity. She pulled Ash toward anything that caught her eye — jewelry stalls, odd trinkets, even a sailor's stand selling strange seashells that supposedly sang in the wind.
The rest of the day flowed easily — the kind of peace neither of them had realized they'd been craving. From there, they followed the shoreline, their footprints marking the wet sand as waves lapped at their feet. Uta sang softly as they walked, her voice carried by the wind — just a hum, yet it felt like even the sea itself paused to listen.
Their stroll eventually brought them to a familiar cliffside clearing — the very place where Uta had performed her first live debut, the one that made her name, V.O.X., echo across the seas.
Smiling at the memory, Uta sat on the edge of the small stage-like rock while Ash set up the Sanctuary Tent nearby. Inside, he cooked a light meal — simple rice, grilled fish, and fruit — while she shaped streams of water into playful figures as she hummed. It had become her way pass time.
By the time evening fell, the horizon was drenched in orange and violet hues. Ash built a campfire near the edge of the cliff.
They sat close, the world hushed around them — just the flicker of flame, the sound of waves below, and the faint shimmer of stars beginning to bloom overhead.
Ash then reached into his inventory, pulling out his guitar and settling it across his lap. He plucked a few strings, adjusting the tune until it sounded right.
Uta, watching him with a smirk, raised an eyebrow.
Ash chuckled softly. "Well… I've been practicing this song for a while. And honestly, the moment feels kind of—well—perfect."
Uta smiled, propping her elbows on her thighs and resting her chin in her palms, eyes sparkling with anticipation. "Well, I can't wait to hear it."
Ash grinned, brushing his thumb across the strings. "Alright then—"
He began to play, his voice warm and steady as the melody filled the night.

{Song – "Perfect," by Ed Sheeran}
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
The campfire flickered, painting them both in amber light as he sang. Every verse carried through the sea breeze, soft and tender — about two hearts growing together, finding home in each other.
When the last note faded, Uta's eyes shimmered, her lips curving into a trembling smile. "That… was…" she couldn't even finish. She had completely lost herself in the lyrics. Her voice came out soft, hesitant. "Do you… do you really want to have children with me?"
Ash smiled, still holding the guitar in his hands. "Yeah. It's one of my dreams. Maybe not now, but someday — if it's okay with you… and with the others too, of course."
Before he could say more, Uta jumped into his arms, forcing him to quickly move the guitar aside. Her lips found his in a kiss overflowing with warmth and love. When they finally broke apart, foreheads still touching, she whispered with a shy smile, "I'd really like that. And I'm sure the others would agree with me."
Ash kissed her again — this time out of pure happiness.
Inwardly, he chuckled to himself. He'd never been much of a singer, but with Celeste's help, he'd found the song — even discovered a video version tucked away in the Exchange Shop. He hadn't expected something like that to exist there. Still, he practiced until he perfected it.
In his heart, Ash silently thanked the songwriter and singer, Ed Sheeran, for creating such a timeless piece that helped him express what words alone couldn't.
Uta and Ash slowly pulled back, breaths mingling as their foreheads rested together, both panting from the intensity of the kiss.
Ash's lips curled into a small, breathless smile. "Inside?" he whispered.
Uta nodded softly, her voice barely above a whisper.
Ash took her hand and drew her toward the Sanctuary Tent. Behind them, Uta flicked her fingers — the campfire hissed and turned to mist using the water she conjured.
As they stepped inside, Ash lifted her effortlessly into his arms. Uta wrapped her legs around his waist in one fluid motion, their laughter and kisses spilling between them as he carried her into the room.
//////////////////////....R – 18 SCENE START...…////////////////////
Ash laid Uta down on the soft sheets of the bed. He stood at the edge of the bed, his gaze dark and possessive, as he slowly began to unbutton his shirt, his eyes never leaving hers. The fabric fell away to reveal the sculpted chest beneath.
Uta mirrored his actions, shimmied out of her clothes until they were both bare, the air between them thick with anticipation.
He moved like a predator, and leaned down and pressed his lips to her neck, the heat of his breath sending shivers down her spine. Uta tilted her head, giving him better access, her fingers threading through his hair, pulling him closer. A soft moan escaped her lips.
His mouth trailed a path of fire down her collarbone, and then his hands were on her breasts, cupping them, his thumbs brushing over her hardened nipples, sending waves of pleasure through her body.
He took one nipple into his mouth, swirling his tongue around the peak while his other hand pinched and rolled the other. Uta gasped, arching her back, her fingers tightening in his hair.
His kisses traced a line down her stomach, stopping just above her cunt. He looked up at her, his eyes burning with desire. "You look beautiful," he rasped, his voice thick with need.
Then, without warning, he dove in. His tongue was relentless, lapping at her folds, circling her clit. Uta cried out, her thighs snapping shut, trapping his head between them. Her fingers dug into his scalp, her hips bucking wildly against his face.
She could feel the pressure building, a tight coil in her belly, and she screamed his name as the pleasure crashed through her, wave after blissful wave. "Fuck, Ash....Soo... Soo good, Don't Stop."
Ash growled against her pussy, his hand gently massaging her clit while his tongue continued to work its magic, bringing her to the brink again. This time, when she screamed his name, she held on tight, digging her nails into his scalp as the waves of ecstasy overtook her.
All too quickly her climax hit her like a train as Uta cried out her hips shaking and her thighs squeezing Ash. A spray of Uta's fluids hit Ash and entered his mouth and the taste was a bit tart but he found he quite liked it. He continued to lap up Uta's pussy as she continued to shake under his tongue.
Eventually, Uta came down from her high and pulled him up to her. She kissed him fiercely tasting herself on his tongue but she didn't care.
"Did that feel good?" Ash asked with a smirk and Uta replied with a dreamy voice, "That felt very good and now my turn." Uta smirked pushing him into the bed while moving towards his cock.
Ash chuckled as Uta pushed him back onto the bed. He watched as she crawled between his legs, her eyes fixed on his already hard cock. She ran her tongue along her bottom lip before leaning down and taking the head into her mouth.
Her mouth was warm and wet, and she took him deep, her throat relaxing around him. She sucked hard, her tongue swirling the underside of his shaft. His breath hitched as her hands gripped the base, creating a rhythm that had him seeing stars.
"Fuck, Uta," he grunted, his hips rising to meet her movements. "Just like that." His voice strained, encouraging her to continue.
She hummed around his cock, the vibrations sending shivers through his entire body. Her free hand reached down to cup his balls, rolling them gently between her fingers.
With his hand on her head, Ash pushed forward down making her take his length deeper. He kept going until he felt her nose press against him. He looked down and she was smiling as she made a glurk sound.
"Glurk, Glurk, Glurk." Was all she could make plus the wet sound of Ash's cock ramming into her mouth as he abandoned his sense and sending a jolt of pure pleasure straight to his core.
He groaned loudly, his fingers tangling in her hair as he guided her movements. "That's it, baby," he encouraged, his voice strained. "Just like that."
Uta moaned around his cock, the sound muffled but vibrating deliciously against his skin. She took him even deeper, her throat constricting around him as she swallowed. The sensation was almost too much to bear, and Ash could feel the pressure building in his balls.
He looked down at her, watching her head bob up and down, her lips stretched taut around his length. Her eyes were watering slightly, but she never stopped, her gaze locked on his. It was the most erotic thing he'd ever seen.
He could feel his orgasm approaching, a tight coil in his lower abdomen. "I'm going to cum," he warned her, giving her a chance to pull away.
But Uta just looked up at him, her eyes full of determination, and took him even deeper. That was all it took. With a guttural cry, Ash came hard, spilling himself down her throat.
She swallowed every drop, not missing a single beat, never breaking the intense eye contact with him.
When he finally collapsed back onto the bed, breathing heavily, Uta took his cock out of her mouth with a pop, with a smug smile on her face.
Uta immediately straddled him, her already soaked cunt poised above his rigid cock. Her dark gaze met his, and she smirked, "Looks like you're ready to go again, Ash?!"
Ash groaned at her teasing, his hands grasping her hips. "You're going to be the death of me, Uta," he rasped, but he couldn't deny the thrill that ran through him as she did it.
She slowly impaled herself on his cock, a low moan escaping her lips as she sank down, taking every inch of him. "Fuck, you feel incredible," Ash panted, his fingers digging into her hips as he helped guide her movement.
"Ride me, baby," he urged, his voice strained with desire. Uta began to move, her hips moved rhythm as she rode him. The slick heat of her inner walls squeezed around him, drawing him deeper with each stroke.
Ash reached up to cup her breasts, his thumbs teasing her hardened nipples as she bounced on his lap. The sensation was intoxicating, and he couldn't hold back a guttural groan of pleasure. Encouraged by his reaction, Uta picked up speed, her breasts swaying with each thrust.
Leaning forward, she braced her hands on Ash's chest and ground her clit against him, the added friction sending shockwaves of pleasure through both of them. "Oh god, Ash..." Uta whimpered, her body trembling on pleasure making her cum.
Ash's grip on her hips tightened and with a grunt he suddenly reversed their positions. With a swift movement, he had Uta on her hands and knees before him, his cock still buried deep inside her.
Uta gasped at the sudden change, her knuckles white from gripping the sheets. Ash's hands came down hard on her butt cheeks, jiggling them and making her cry out in pleasure.
"Fuck, Uta, your pussy feels so good. I can't help but to pound it harder," he growled, his tone a mix of domination and desire.
"Yes, baby! Then Use it. Use my cunt, Ash. fuck it harder!" Uta moaned loudly, her pussy clenching around him. The raw intensity in Ash's voice sent shivers through her body, pushing her closer to the edge again.
"Fuuuck, as you wish then," Ash snarled, his hips slamming into hers with renewed vigour.
"Mine!" He growled out and Uta felt a shiver run through her body as her pussy clenched. As he said in tone being a mix of animalistic domination pushing her into orgasm.
Uta's juices soaked the bed sheets as her orgasm hit her like a tidal wave, her pussy fluttering wildly around Ash's length.
"Ah-huh, I'm cum... cum…ming A…again! Ash!" she screamed, her voice echoing off the walls. Ash felt the pressure building, but he fought to hold back his own release, determined to prolong the pleasure.
Ash's relentless thrusts continued as he changed the position again. He lifted Uta's one leg to his shoulder, making her balance on her elbow and turning her to one side, with one leg on the bed and the other resting on Ash's shoulder. The new angle drove Uta even crazier as his cock hit that sweet spot inside her with every stroke.
"Fuck, Uta, I can't get enough of you," Ash panted, his gaze locked on the way her body curved, straining to accommodate his movements. "You look so damn sexy."
Uta moaned loudly, her breasts bouncing with each impact. "Yes, baby! Keep going, fuck me harder!" she urged, her voice high and breathy. The added pressure on her clit from her elevated leg sent shockwaves of pleasure through her.
Ash growled low in his throat, the sound sending a thrill down Uta's spine. With one hand holding her leg on his shoulder, he reached around with the other to pinch and roll her nipples between his fingers, mauling her boobs. The dual stimulation pushed Uta closer to the edge, her pussy clenching tightly around Ash's cock.
"Ash, I'm getting close again," Uta gasped, looking at him with lust. "Don't stop."
"I won't," he promised, his voice strained as he started to pound harder while mangling and pulling her boobs and nipples. "I'm also getting close, Uta. Come with me. Come for me on my cock again, baby."
"Fuuuck," Ash grated out, his thrusts becoming more erratic. Uta felt him swell inside her, his pace speeding up as he chased his release.
Uta yelled, "Yesss, yesss!"
With a cry, Uta climaxed, her pussy clenching around Ash's cock as she rode out the waves of her orgasm. Ash followed suit, thrusting up hard as he spilled his seed deep inside her.
They collapsed together, panting and sated, their bodies still joined. Ash wrapped his arms around Uta, holding her close as they basked in the afterglow of their intense coupling.
///////////////////////…..R – 18 END...///////////////////////
Ash brushed a few strands away, his thumb tracing her cheek as he tried to catch his breath. "That was—"
Uta finished for him with a tired but mischievous smile, "…Intense."
They both laughed — low, breathless, the sound soft and real in the quiet aftermath.
Ash leaned forward, kissing her once more, slower this time, more tender than hungry. "You're unbelievable, you know that?" he murmured against her lips.
Uta's laugh melted into a sigh, her fingers drawing lazy circles on his chest. "Mhm… and you love that about me."
Ash chuckled, then looked down at her with a glint of mischief. "So… ready for another round?"
Uta met his gaze with a teasing smirk. "You're insatiable, Ash." She slapped his chest lightly, still smiling.
In a single smooth motion, Ash's hand slipped to her waist, flipping her beneath him. Uta squealed between laughter as he hovered above her — one hand pinning her wrists above her head, the other resting on her hip.
Ash smirked. "Pot, meet kettle. And I didn't hear a no."
Uta giggled, eyes already clouded with renewed desire.
Ash leaned down and captured her lips again.
//////////////////////////////
Next Day:
Ash sat alone at his usual spot overlooking the cliff, a small smile tugging at his lips as he thought about the last few days. The sea breeze brushed through his hair, carrying the quiet hum of morning.
Then, his smirk deepened as he spoke out loud, "Alright, Celeste. I think it's due time to clear out the Exclusive Store."
A soft, playful giggle echoed in his mind. ["Hehe~ Sure thing, Ash. Here you go."]
Before his eyes, a brilliant multi-colored screen bloomed into view. His pupils widened in excitement as the vivid lights reflected off them.
Ash's grin stretched wider, he clapped his hands together, rubbing them with anticipation "So… shall I start?"
