After the game: Lina

“Are you sure about this?!”

“Aren’t I always?!”

That last statement worried Ein. He and Lina had been traveling together alone since the defeat of Seth-Ra. And every time Lina said that something really bad always happened. They were now following a rumor of a lost nameless temple out in the middle of a frozen wasteland. The wind was so strong they had to scream at each other to hear, even though they were right next to one another. They were both dressed in heavy coats, but it was still very cold.

“Don’t worry! Lina’s sure we’ll find it!” Lina yelled.

Another bad sign, only one word will separate them form certain disaster.

“Lina’s positive even!” she finished.

That was the word. ‘This won’t end well,’ Ein thought to himself, ‘When I promised Fia that I’d look after Lina, I had no idea the hell I’d go through.’

Together they went to the lost forest temple, the shrine in the middle of a volcano, the spring of eternal youth in the center of HELL! All they found was disease, third degree burns and the lord of hell himself. No treasure, just one big mess after another. Now they are going to a lost ice temple looking for a gem of infinite power.

The blizzard picked up.

“I can’t see anything! Stay close Lina!” Ein hollered.

“What?! I can’t hear you!” She screamed.

Ein grabbed her hand. “Stay close, we can’t get separated!” Ein screamed.

“…I…hear you!” Lina screamed

“What?!” Ein yelled.

“…can’t hear…” Lina yelled.

‘Oh shit,’ Ein thought to himself, ‘the wind’s too loud. We need to get out of this blizzard.’

Ein, still holding Lina’s hand, trudged along the path, trying to find a cave, or a hut or something. The blizzard was getting worse; Ein could barely see ten feet in front of his face.

“…Ein…there!” Ein looked at Lina to see what she was screaming about, she was pointing at something. Ein looked and couldn’t believe what he saw.

“Gods…” he muttered as he saw it, an avalanche, coming fast. Ein turned away from it and tried to go as fast as he could, but to no use. The avalanche hit them.

Ein struggled and got out of the snow, luckily they were on higher ground when it hit. Then a realization came to him.

“Lina!” he screamed. He looked around frantically and saw her head and arm poking out of the snow he grabbed her and pulled her out, she was breathing heavily, but was alive and awake. He then draped her over his shoulder so she was on his back while he held on to her legs. He then turned to where the avalanche came from and saw it had uncovered an even bigger surprise.

‘You have got to be kidding me…’ as he saw the temple they had been looking for. He then took off with all his speed toward the temple. When he got inside he put Lina down and saw she had her eyes closed and her breathing was shallow. Ein grabbed her shoulders and violently shook her.

“Lina! Wake up! Dammit, WAKE UP!” he raised his hand and struck her.

“Ow! Ein, what the hell?!” Lina screamed.

“Oh thank the Gods…Lina…” he muttered as he hugged her. She then blushed a violent red.

“E-Ein? What are you doing?” she stammered.

“When someone falls asleep, their body temperature drops…combined with the cold of the snow they can freeze to death in seconds…you almost died,” Ein explained. He then let her. Lina only stared, shocked of what Ein just explained.

“…What?” she asked.

“You almost died,” Ein repeated.

“Wow…thanks,” Lina smiled.

“Don’t thank me yet. We still need to…” Ein cuts himself off as he opens his backpack, “…change into dryer clothing.” He gets up, “I’ll go into the next room while you change.”

Both Ein and Lina look around for a hallway or a door, but the temple appeared to be one room. Both were silent. It was one room, and all there was in that one room was a couple chairs at the end farthest from the entrance and an alter between them. They then look at each other.

“Well, this stinks,” Lina said aloud, “Is it so important to be in dryer clothes?”

“We will catch hypothermia if we don’t. That’s when our bodies slowly die as we become delusional from the cold,” Ein replied.

“And I don’t even see the gem, man this stinks,” Lina grumbled as she search her backpack for dry clothes. Ein searched his pack as well.

“Everything’s drenched!” Lina cried, very alarmed, “Is this hypo-whatwhat that dangerous?”

“It will bring out the most primal instincts in our mind, we’ll become scared, violent, and most likely attack any living thing around us,” Ein explained.

“Even…each other?” Lina asked. Ein only nodded. “Well, what do we do?” she asked.

“Get your clothing unwaded and lined up, I’ll use the chairs over there as firewood. Once we get the fire started we need to keep it going, so we may need to use some of our clothes as firewood once they dry out,” Ein explained as he got the chairs and began to cut them up with the Einher Jar. He used the rubbing two sticks together method to get a fire started.

“Now what,” Lina asked. Ein blushed.

“You…won’t like it…” Ein began. Lina’s expression didn’t change. “We still need to get out of these wet clothes…”

“Ein, you pervert, I’m not going to strip in front of you!” she yelled. Ein blushed redder.

“I never said completely naked, you can keep some small garments on…” Ein said, flustered. Lina’s angry expression didn’t falter. Ein suddenly got a serious expression on his face, “Lina, I’m serious! This is basic survival knowledge!” he yelled.

Lina half-jumped at Ein’s sudden outburst. “But I…don’t have a bra…” she stammered. Ein sighed and grabbed his cape, tore it in half and gave half to Lina.

“Use this. You can go behind the alter and change. I’ll get the sleeping bags out and try and dry them out,” Ein said as he got both of them out and laid them by the fire.

Lina went behind the alter and began to take her shirt and pants off. ‘I wish I wore less skimpy panties’ she thought to herself as she tied the cape around her chest. When she came back around Ein turned to her and froze, staring at her. Lina blushed angrily, “Stop staring, pervert!” she cried.

“Um…s-sorry,” Ein stammered as he ran behind the alter himself to disrobe to his underpants. When he was done he came back around and laid his clothes next to the fire, trying to avoid looking at Lina. Lina, on the other hand, began to intensely stare and take in every detail of Ein’s body. Especially the one covered part.

Ein and Lina had been traveling together for three years and in that time Lina had become very attracted to him. The idea of seducing him occurred to her, but she shoved that thought off to the side. ‘We could both die here. This isn’t the time to think of such things,’ she mentally told herself. Even though she knew it was a serious moment, she still stared at Ein. His muscular chest, strong looking arms and legs…the bulge in his pants. “Pervert,” she whispered.

“Huh? Did you say something?” Ein asked, looking at Lina now.

Lina blushed and turned away slightly. “N-no, I didn’t.”

“Oh, sorry…”

Lina always called Ein a pervert; it was like a pet name in some way. When she used it, however, Ein knew he did something wrong. The ironic thing was that if anyone, Lina was the pervert. She peeked at Ein in the bath, she masturbated when alone, had these sick fantasies of her with him. He only can’t stop staring in an…awkward…situation.

‘Man, she’s beautiful,’ Ein thought to himself. Lina was now fifteen years old. She had large breasts for her age and had a very slim waist. She had golden eyes and golden hair that reached halfway down her back. She was only one foot shorter than Ein, making her very tall for her age too. He was sneaking glances here and there, when Lina wasn’t looking. Ein started thinking of the other wild goose chases he followed with Lina. She never listened to him; he always told her if some punk saw it, why didn’t he take it himself. She never listened; she was the most stubborn person he knew, but…he still loved her.

“Dang it’s cold,” Lina said, getting up. She walked over to where Ein was sitting and sat down right next to him.

“Um…what are you doing?” Ein nervously asked.

“It’s too cold. I’m just trying to steal some warmth,” Lina replied, trying to sound as natural as possible. “Say, Ein?”

“Y-yeah?”

“You really don’t like searching for treasure…so…why do you travel with me?” Lina had no idea why she was asking this.

The question confused Ein. “What do you mean why?”

“You know…” Lina began to lean on Ein’s shoulder, making Ein uncomfortable, “…you almost get killed every time, so why bother?”

‘What would she think if I told her I loved her? She’d probably call me a pervert and never speak to me again,’ “Well, I…um…” Ein began. Lina suddenly moved again so she was directly in front of him.

“Well…?” Lina pried.

“…It’s…difficult to explain,” Ein said, avoiding eye contact.

“Why won’t you look at me while answering?” Lina shifted closer.

“It’s because I…I can’t…” Ein said, still not looking at her.

“Well, why not?!” Lina demanded, “Why do you always have to be like this?!”

He noticed she was crying. “Huh? What’s wrong Lina,” he was concerned now.

“Why does that matter? Just answer the damn question!” she muttered.

Ein then, out of a mix of impulse and concern, put his arms around Lina. “Just tell me, what’s on your mind?”

Even though Ein did this to comfort her, it had the opposite effect. “Isn’t it obvious?! You stupid, insensitive pervert!” she was in tears now. She violently pushed him away and turned her back to him.

“Lina, I’m sorry I…” Lina interrupted him.

“DAMN YOU, YOU ALWAYS SAY THAT! YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW WHY I’M ANGRY, SO DON’T FUCKING APOLOGIZE!” she screamed between sobs.

“I can’t know until you tell me,” he put his hand on her shoulder. He noticed she was shaking.

“Why do you have to be so dense?” she muttered, burying her face in her hands.

“Lina, please, I…I love you,” with those words Lina’s head shot up and she turned her head around to face him. Lines where on her face where tears had rolled down her cheeks. “I don’t like to see you sad,” Lina just stared into his eyes for what seemed like forever. “That’s why…I travel with you,” he nervously finished. ‘Oh no, I said it, didn’t I?’ he thought to himself.

Out of all the reactions Ein expected, this wasn’t one of them, absolute silence. He was about to apologize but Lina suddenly spoke. “You…love me?” Ein could only blush and nod. Lina wiped away her tears and turned completely around to face him. “Really…? Me?” she asked.

“Yes…” Ein responded, suddenly feeling less uncomfortable, “…I do.” When he said this, a big smile stretched across Lina’s face.

“Oh Ein…” she then wrapped her arms around him. Normally Ein would be uncomfortable in saturations like this, but not now, “…I love you too.”

Lina’s makeshift bra started to fall off. It was only noticed when it was too late, and both immediately noticed. The dark green cloth had come to rest on Lina’s lap, her breasts exposed to Ein’s view.

“Um…” Ein blushed a bright crimson. Lina, to Ein’s surprise, giggled.

“Like what you see?” she whispered in a sexy hiss, Ein only smiled. “I’ll take that as a ‘yes’,” she whispered in the same tone as she drew him into a kiss. Both were in bliss. Ein instinctively eased Lina onto her back so that he was on top, Lina didn’t resist at all. They both wanted this.

They broke the kiss for air and Ein took a second to drink in the sight of the nearly naked girl underneath him. “Beautiful…” was all he said. Lina blushed this time. Ein began to kiss her again, their tongues in each other’s mouths, their arms roaming each other’s bodies.

When they broke the kiss again, Lina and Ein’s eyes were firmly locked onto each other. “Enough of this kid stuff,” Lina whispered. She reached and pulled Ein’s underwear down to his knees, and drank in the sight. “Have you been hiding that from me all these years?” Lina giggled.

“And look at what you’ve been hiding from me,” Ein replied, “And I’ve only seen half…” Ein reached down and pulled Lina’s panties to her ankles. Once again he drank in the sight of Lina, this time fully naked.

“Pervert…” Lina giggled, “…what are you waiting for? If you’re worried about hurting me, don’t. I broke myself on one of my ‘wild nights’ alone.”

“And you call me pervert…” Ein said. Ein position himself between her legs as Lina spread them. The Look in Lina’s eyes was begging for Ein to keep going, and when she looked at him like that, how could he say no? He slowly slid into her. At that moment, everything around them vanished. They were the only two people in the word and they had their full attention on each other.

“Ein…!” Lina gasped. This only encouraged Ein to go faster. “Harder…HARDER!” she screamed.

“Oh…L-Lina!” Ein grunted as waves of pleasure came over his body. They were screaming each other’s names and Ein picked up the pace. Lina wrapped her legs around Ein’s waist and pulled him in further.

“EIIIINNNNN!!” Lina screamed as she hit her peak.

“LIIINAAAAA!!” Ein cried as he emptied into her. After the orgasm subsided, Ein could barely hold himself up. Both of them were panting heavily and were covered in sweat.

“Are the sleeping bags dry yet?” Lina asked. Ein got up and felt both of them.

“Yeah, they are.” Ein answered.

“Lets only use one of them,” Lina responded, slowly getting up.

They both got in Ein’s sleeping bag and Ein zipped it shut. Exhausted. They quickly fell asleep together.
