It didn't take long to exit the area which had been scorched by the spaceship as it landed.

In front of the two stretched an endless wilderness of breathtaking and monstrous nature. Gigantic trees reached for the sky, their trunks seemingly twisting and wrapping around one another's, vines connecting the distant trees' branches together like snakes slowly slithering and swaying, majestic flowers with petals taking the strangest shapes and hues. Every direction seemed like it would lead to a completely different habitat. To a different kind of beautiful wilderness.

Beyond the scorched earth, the ground was covered by a dense carpet of moss, ferns, and creeping plants. While the ground seemed to be covered by one specific species, that wasn't the case at all. Walking on them was strange to Rea. She wasn't used to being in nature. It was even stranger for Cero, whose Electrical Perception Skill kept making it obvious that something was wrong. Or, at least, that something electrical was happening. Indeed, many of the Species that covered the earth were capable of Electrical Signaling. Those signals triggered a mechanical response, such as for the underground Uilas, or were used to notify another Species as part of a symbiotic relationship that the species hold. Some of the creeping plants that covered the ground were nothing more than above-ground extensions of the Uilas, allowing them to detect prey before revealing their long, powerful, and sharp roots that hide underground.

"So why am I here exactly?" Rea asked, awkwardly stepping on the fuzzy moss to stand by Cero's side.

The latter continued staring silently at the scenery around them. For now, they were still in an open area.

"Are we going to fuck or…?"

Cero took a step forward, and pointed.

"Looks like the front is filled with huge trees. To the right, giant flowers with… Probably some poisonous qualities. To the left… Nothing huge or gigantic, which makes it interesting."

"Uh… Okay?"

"Where should we go?"

"I don't care." Rea shrugged. "Why should I go in the first place?"

"Cause I want you to." Cero answered before turning away, debating internally which area to approach.

"Haa…" She sighed. "If it's all the same, I'd rather not be surrounded by huge anything."

"Let's go for the trees." Cero pointed forward as he nodded.

'Why even ask?' Rea let out another sigh.

"I can't really help with anything here. Anyone can see that Liz, Roka, or even Raya would be better suited for this. If we're not going to fuck, this is a bit… Answer me!"

"What's up?" Cero asked, slowly turning around.

"What am I doing here? I haven't slept in a while, you know?"

"Yeah, that's usually the case when we land somewhere."

"Yeah, well I'm sleepy as fuck!"

"You didn't seem sleepy when I told you to come with me."

"Well, yeah! Cause I thought we would… Get some action!"

"Oh… Well, maybe later."

"That's what you've been saying for the past three weeks! Ever since we left Tyl! What the fuck? I thought it was because there were people around but… Well, we've already done while the ship was full so??"

"Mm…" Cero nodded, pondering the question. "Maybe I don't want to."

"That's a lie!" Rea shouted as she pointed at him. "You get hard every time!"

"Please don't talk so openly about my-" nσvel.cøm

"You get hard and I get wet, and then you just leave! What the fuck?!"

"Oh, was that tough on you? I'm sorry."

Rea remained silent for a moment, sighed, and took a seat on the ground.

"You probably shouldn't stay in the same spot… Or take a seat." Cero explained. "We don't know what's-"

"Oh, fuck you!"

"Why are you so mad?"

"Because you won't fuck me!"

"Why won't I fuck you?"

"That's what I'd like to know!"

"Well, figure it out."

"Ugh, men." She rolled her eyes. "Can't you just fucking say what you think? Always this bullshit. I'm not a mind reader, alright?"

"Yeah, yeah…" Cero muttered after his eyes caught something. "That was easy enough." He whispered as he walked away.

"Found something you fancy? Good for you!"

"Yeah." Cero answered as he picked it up. "Cute, huh?"

"I guess a tiny tiny tree being surrounded by huge gigantic trees does make the tiny tiny one cute." Rea shrugged.

"Really?"

"I guess?"

"So you think it's cute because you expect it to be huge?"

"Well, duh. Nothing cute about a tree. Make it tiny and it becomes cute… Somehow."

"Yeah." Cero nodded. "I agree."

He stared at her for a moment.

"What is it?" Rea asked, frowning slightly.

"I missed your cute tits."

"Really?" She sighed. "You don't act like it." Rea's frown deepened. "Wait… Did you say that because-"

"While these are tiny, they're very interesting. Well… Apparently. Gotta try it out." Cero did just that.

"They grow back right away?"

"Yep. Whether it's the leaves, the branches, or the roots." Cero explained after testing each. "Pretty cool, right?"

"I guess."

"You don't particularly find it cute or cool?"

"I don't know." Rea shrugged. "It's a tree. Why should I care?"

"I see."

"So how does that work?" She asked. "You're now half tree or something?"

"Can you stop thinking about my wood for a second?"

"With a robust trunk like that, I can't quite do that." Rea said rather coldly. "Is that what this is about?"

"What is?"

"The bullshit about only caring about your dick? Only wanting to fuck? Is it that kind of thing?"

"Yesn't."

"Ugh…" Rea sighed. "I heard this was a problem with guys from our place. Didn't expect alien males to have the same issue. Just because I want to fuck doesn't mean I only want to fuck. Just because I like your dick, doesn't mean I only like your dick. Alright?"

"Ha!" Cero chuckled. "That's funny."

"What is?" She asked with a frown.

"Never thought I would hear something like that. Anyways, it's not so much a problem for me…"

"Then?"

"I don't know, Rea." Cero scratched his chin. "I guess… Well, I think you might-"

"Let me stop you right there." She interrupted. "You can keep the lovey-dovey shit for Liz, alright? We. We fuck. Alright? That's what we do. Leave the lovey-dovey talking about whatever the fuck for her, alright?"

"Alright. Oh… You know about us."

"Of course I do. I saw her entering your room… A fucking while ago."

"Spying on me? How controlling." Cero muttered as he walked towards a particular tree trunk. "Time to climb." He said as he knocked against the trunk.

"Seriously?"

"Yeah." Cero said as he turned around and started going up. "Should be easy enough. I'll help once you're tired."

"I did expect to get tired. I did expect to sweat. I expected to get some exercise in… Just not this kind."

"This dick isn't for free."

Rea let out a long sigh.

"You can say that again…"

***

"Made it." Cero said in an upbeat celebratory tone.

"Finally…" Rea muttered as she collapsed off his back. "This is so weird."

"I know, right? You can see empty spaces between the leaves, but you can't feel them at all when standing on lying on it. Plus, the surface is flat… Even though it's not really surface. Just the top of a tree."

"So all the branches go up, and all of them end up reaching the same height? Despite some branches starting higher or lower on the trunk…"

"Yeah. Cool, right?"

"Hm…" Rea let her head rock from side to side as she pursed her lips. "Yeah, pretty cool."

"Cool view too." Cero added as he took a seat by her side and stared into the horizon. "Can see a lot from here. Well, a lot of trees… But some other things too. What do you think?"

"Hm… Cool view? Hm… Not really."

"Yeah?"

"Pretty mid to be honest."

"Why do you say that?"

"Don't know." She shrugged. "Just a bunch of trees."

"You don't like trees?"

"That's a… That's the kind of question that warrants a test. Do you like trains and action figures?"

Cero chuckled as he continued staring at the horizon.

"Do you like Wor? I mean… Visually, I guess."

"Meh."

"How was Tyl?"

"Pretty boring."

"Serolia?"

"Serolia…" Rea whispered as she slowly folded her knees and placed her elbows on them. "It looked better from afar."

"You like being a Navigator?"

"I love it."

"Trees look boring in comparison, huh?"

"What do you mean?"

"When you could be looking at dozens of Planets, and stars, and…"

"Yeah… Yeah, I guess you have a point."

The two remained seated side by side. Silent, for a couple of minutes.

"I think I've been going about this the wrong way."

"You think?"

"Yeah." Cero answered as he turned to face her. "The mushrooms, you know?"

"I really don't."

"We fuck. That's what we do, huh?"

"Hell yeah, it is."

"You're already wet."

"I have been for the past three weeks."

His hands slowly pushed her down. But just when their lips were about to meet,

"I get what you're trying to do but…"
