“That… You’re going to have to figure out on your own~” She sing songed. 

Marinette just grew even more suspicious.

“Kings love to show off, especially to females~” She giggled. 

Marinette wanted to question what she meant but the bus had already arrived. They got on and drove back into town to Ichiko's shop. Once they arrived at the store, Ichiko was taking inventory of her money from the register. But once she saw her friends with the crates, she squealed.

"Oh my God! Are those the sweeties?! Take them out so I can get their measurements!!!" She quickly put the money away and grabbed her notebook, pencils, and measuring tape. Eager to see the Lamias. 

“Give me a sec. C’mere Red, mind helping a friend out for me?” Foxy asked as she removed Red from his crate.

“depends on what i gotta do, i’m not workin..” Red grumbled.

“Nope, just gotta stay still for the lady there.” She gestured to Ichiko. 

He shrugged. “eh, ok, why not.”

Marinette brought out Edge and put him beside his brother.

"Hey Edge, this is a good friend of ours. This is Ichiko. She's a tailor of sorts. She recently got into making clothes for Lamias like you and Red. So you just gotta stay there on the counter and she's going to measure you two out so that she can make clothes for you guys. Consider this to be your housewarming gift." Marinette explained to the confused bitties who were getting measured out by the pink haired lady.

Edge looked at the pinkette. “I WOULD LIKE YOUR BEST.”

“i don’t care, just make ‘em comfortable..” Red requested.

After she wrote the measurements down, she asked, "Okay! What sort of clothes would you two like?" 

“SOMETHING THAT MATCHES ME! PROUD! ELEGANT! BOLD!”

Red snorted at his brother, earning a glare. “literally anything will do, as long as it’s comfortable. but uh, since you're asking… i like black, red, and yellow.”

"Hmmmm, well for the King cutie I'll recommend some dress shirts for being dress to impress and sports wear if you're feeling active, and for the Coral cutie, light jackets, tank tops, sweat shirts, and for more dress appropriate events one or two dress shirts all in your favorite colors of course. I have a selection of patterns and cloth types, if you would like to spruce it up a tad?" Ichiko offered with a small pattern chart and a box of cloth samples.

Edge was all for it while Red… not so much. “i’m just gonna trust yer judgment lady, i’m too lazy to do anything else.”

Ichiko stared for a second then laughed. "Oh goodness! Yes, then would you like your clothes to be in cotton or thread?" 

“either way works, weather, cold ‘r hot, goes right through me.” He winked. “in other words, whatever is comfier to nap in.”

She giggled. While Edge rolled his eyelights.

"Okay, well how about you little King?" Ichiko asked as she wrote down the order on her notepad.

“I LIKE THIS SATIN… CAN YOU PATTERN A FEW OUTFITS LIKE MY HOOD?”

"Of course! What patterns would you prefer?"

The both of them talked about the patterns and the cloth types. In a total, there were multiple sorts of clothing to be checked out.

"I hope this won't give you too much of a hassle Ichiko. I know it's a lot. And with on top of your other orders…" Marinette said hesitantly.

Ichiko waved a dismissive hand. "Don't worry about it Mari. That's what having workers is for. They know how to make the clothes by now. Oh! And before I forget!" She brought out Marinette's hunting suit in a box. "I washed and dried it as well. No charge! Oh! I just had another brilliant idea! How about I make a hunting camo outfit for your King?! It'll be so cute!" She said giddily. 

"Well? Do you want one Edge?" Marinette genuinely curious.

‘DAMN SHE’S CUTE WHEN SHE’S LIKE THIS!’ “I DON’T SEE WHY NOT. WE WILL BE HUNTING TOGETHER, YES~?” Red was gagging in the background.

Marinette innocently smiled. "Yeah! Okay Ichiko go ahead."

"Awesome! Let me just ring you guys up and I can give you a call when they're ready!"

After the friends paid for the clothes. They made their way to the apartment building where they lived and worked. They traveled upstairs, said goodnight to each other, and went to each of their homes.

Edge's POV

As Marinette put the crate down on her living room table and opened the crate for I came out of my crate.

"Welcome home!" She cheered out.

“...”

I slithered out, looking around at her home. 

"Well? How do you like it?" She gestured to her at the sky blue walls and black colored modern furniture with a sleeping black Boodle in the corner of the room on her dog bed.

“VERY IMPRESSIVE. I LOVE IT~” ‘A perfect breeding grounds~’

"Good! Would you like something to eat for dinner?" She innocently asked as Edge slithered in front of her.

“I WAS THINKING YOU COULD BE MY MAIN DISH~” I purred. 

Marinette seemed to catch on to my innuendo and raised her eyebrows in surprise.

"Excuse me…?" She asked as she saw me steadily grow in front of her. Her surprise just GREW into shock beyond belief. She had no words as the once tiny bitty became bigger than she was!

I smirked, flaring my hood to impress her. “FOR THE RECORD, YOUR FRIEND TRIED TO WARN YOU… BOTH OF THEM, ACTUALLY.” I cupped her cheeks. “YOU’RE SO BEAUTIFUL… SO PERFECT… HOW COULD I NOT CHOOSE YOU?”

She flushed at my words. "I-I'm not that great… and for future reference, I'm going to kill my friends for not telling me this… I-I mean, aren't we going too f-fast?!" She stuttered out as she was being coiled around by my tail.

“NOT FOR MY SPECIES. I AM IN HEAT, AFTER ALL. AS FOR YOUR FRIENDS…” I nipped gently at her neck. “LAMIAS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO TELL ANYONE BUT THEIR MATE~ SAME GOES FOR THE MATED HUMAN~” I started to make hickies along her neck and collarbone. 

"Mmm…. Still…" I coiled tighter around her body till only her large breasts and upper body were being squeezed.

I started to grope at her breasts, finally going to attack her lips. 

I kissed her tenderly but roughly as I got more and more heated. Marinette finally gave in to my advances and kissed me back. While I was undoing her shirt and black bra. Her skin absolutely glowed heavenly to me. 

Her hands traveled up to my hood and began to rub it.

“MMM~ THAT’S IT~ THAT’S THE SPOT, MY HUNTRESS~”

I finally got her undressed and slithered my way to her room so we wouldn't be disturbed by the now awake and curious puppo. 

"Are- are you really going to try to make me p-pregnant?" She huffed out in ecstasy as I made sure to prepare her.

“THAT IS MY INTENTION.” I replied bluntly.

"A-and you… won't leave me after this… right?" She started to tear up after seemingly remembering something unpleasant. "You're actually going to stay a-and actually raise them with me…? A-ah~! A-and how many can you even get in the first place?"

I looked her in the eyes, behind my lust was nothing but love and understanding. “I will never leave you, Marinette. I will stay with you and all 21 to 40 of our children. I promise.”

Marinette thought she was about to faint. Either from the "prep work'' I was giving her or the fact that she possibly could have about forty kids in one standing. Either way when I was done we both had a blissful and ecstasy filled night.

Red POV

Just as we made it through the door, I was put down on the floor and she opened the crate door for me.

"We're home now. You can grow to your larger size now~" she purred out. Oh boy...

“u-uh ok..” I grew to my larger form, which was still pathetically small compared to others of my species..

I was still somehow taller than her by a foot. And she wrapped her arms around me and started to kiss my teeth. Is this a dream? If so, no one wake me up…

“damn woman, ya really know how to have a guy beggin for more..” I commented quietly.

"Ese es el plan mi amor~~~*" she purred out as she continued to rub her beautiful lips onto my teeth while I pressed back while exploring her hips. 

*That's the plan my love

“heheheh… what happened to pequeno rojo?” I asked as I gripped her fine ass. 

She giggled. "I don't think I can call you "little" when you're like "this"~" she purred out as she rubbed her lower region up against mine. Which was definitely sticking out.

"You're an impressive size my love~ you should be proud of that~" she licked my teeth for entrance.

“...” 

‘You know what? Fuck it, who cares what my species thinks. They’re all shitbags anyway! If she thinks I’m impressive, then I’m impressive dammit!’ I stubbornly didn’t let her in, smirking. 

"Ohhhh~ so you're playing THAT game with me then~" her hands traveled up my shirt and slithered her hand on my soul and started to trace little circles on it with her thumb.

My breath hitched and I hummed in delight. ‘Damn that feels good~!’ If she thinks I’m giving in that easily though, she’s wrong. My hands started to explore the rest of her body and at some point in my explorations, I took off her shirt and pants, leaving her in her red bra and- ‘HOLY SHIT THAT’S A THONG-’

She let go of me and slowly twirled a whole 180 to let me see her fine body. 

"You sure you don't want something else than my tongue to be in your mouth~~~" she seductively swayed her hips like a snake.

My jaw dropped. ‘I want. I want badly.’

I scooped her up and had her show me to her room. Once we locked the door from her dog trying to get in… we had a pretty good time. Pretty sure me and Edge are going to be dads soon…
