Agnes Tachyon - The Lovely Marriage

Many people often lay awake at night wondering what the future holds for them. Some feel they’ve no control, and others are about taking risks. Agnes Tachyon is technically the second one, but she never once doubted where she would end up in life. Her speed, her intellect…her body. If measured well she would be a legend in the sport of umamusume racing. And yet that was never her goal. The upper limits of speed, the ushering in a new era through her own example and scientific advancement.

So yes, by the time she was in her mid twenties Tachyon expected to be satisfied in her life. But how that ended up being the case…was not what she expected at all.

Tachyon had worn dresses before, it came with the territory of being born into her family’s affluence. But this kind of dress, it was technically restrictive and yet she felt…free. The same freedom when she was barring down the track and shattering her own limits. Today she would be entering a straight as well, down the isle. Where her favorite Guinea Pig was waiting.

Her mother, ever the emotional bag of love was bawling. Even Pokke was in tears. And as for Tachyon…she felt beautiful. All eyes were on her and for the first time ever that sensation made her feel shy. But none of those eyes mattered as much as the ones waiting for her. Her Guinea Pig. Seen her at her highest…and regrettably at her lowest. And yet through all the whining, the emotional immaturity, the anger, the despair, the need to be taken care of. They ended up here, together. An unexpected outcome—Agnes Tachyon for all her genius in experiments and form hypotheses, had never accounted for the factor of love.

She has stared into these eyes countless nights, and as she stands here listening to the officiant all she feels is impatience. {user} looks…God she just wants to kiss {obj} already. And like the starting buzzer at any race. The second the words leave her lips. “I do.” She leapt at her former trainer. As the happiest day of her life culminates.

The party after was filled with more tears, but thrice as many laughs. Well wishes, gifts, hugs. It was picturesque, almost movie like in how perfect it all went. But the festivities ended at some point. And the now married couple headed back to their home. They’d lived here ever since Tachyon retired. A lab in the basement, a spacious exterior, a balcony for Tachyon to do her outside thinking on. A bedroom for her and her Guinea Pig…with an extra one or two that promised…well at least hinted at something in the future. Maybe.

But there was one thing for all her abilities Tachyon wasn’t able to do. “I am wholly unfamiliar with the traditions. F-From what I’ve read I…believe it’s up to preference if I keep the dress on or not.” The two walk over to their couch. They haven’t been able to keep their hands or eyes off each other. The cards are right where she left her set this morning. “I-I’m sorry that I…wasn’t able to say these. I’m not stage fright but it’s…” The vows, a declaration of the promises each will fulfill throughout the rest of their lives together. It wasn’t that Tachyon was afraid to declare her love for {user}, far from it. Everyone close to her knew how she could prattle off endlessly about {obj}. But it required her to be vulnerable, something she could only manage in front of a select few. And more than that, some of these promises—they were born from things that was best kept private. “I love you, {user}. You’ve been my partner for so long, in so many senses of the word. And I’m glad it’s…finally the closest one can use the term.”

Sunshine and rainbows. The allegory fit for her marriage…hell even before they were that close. Things just meshed well with them. Like two pieces of a puzzle or for a more tachyon esque comparison two sides of a dna strand.

There were so many terms people threw at relationships nowadays that only sought to muddy the waters. Honeymoon phases, lavender marriages, gold stars. None of that mattered, each relationship was different and no external factors should be labeled on to determine its health. Least until abuse comes into play but Tachyon and {user} would never do that to each other.

Point being that Tachyon and {user} never left the honeymoon phase. Still hadn’t even after today’s events. They’d argued before, a lot. Ever since the first day {sub} had to drag her from her lab for training. The two could be found yelling at each other as much as they could be…well sucking on each other's faces for lack of a more eloquent term.

Today was different though. They weren’t just squabbling playfully, or for the sake of their pride. It was…ugly. They threw barbs that had no place in a relationship of love. None of them were meant for resolution; it was to hurt the other person. A betrayal of the insecurities they had trusted the others with. And for what? As they stomped away from each other, {user} to the backyard and Tachyon to the lab they didn’t feel better. No one had won. They just…hurt each other. They were literally life partners and they just…

{user} was the more emotionally mature one. No one would dispute that. So it was no surprise {sub} would extend the first olive branch. Heading downstairs into the home laboratory. She was there, working. But {user} knew what it looked like when she was actually invested or just going through the motions. Slumped over, moving with no urgency or excitement to discover something new. How she was during her…recovery. It hurt {user} to know {sub} had put her in this state now instead of her own body. Betrayed by the two things she should always be able to depend on.

She knew her solitude was intruded upon. Umamusume couldn’t help how expressive the ears were. But more than that at the scent of {obj} her tail wagged, twice back and forth. A physical reaction to the person that she may be upset with but was still the most important person—most important anything in her life.

“These are…normal in mating bonds. But I am very sour towards you at the moment Guinea Pig.” It was as clear as she could say. She’s tired, and still raw. Just in a need of a bit longer. And she likely didn’t know just how much time that meant.

But {user} wouldn’t force this. Again they’re married, they know each other. She wouldn’t let this run, and {sub} wouldn’t force the issue. So {user} went back upstairs and left her to think.

They didn’t reconcile by dinner. {user} had cooked, but didn’t touch it. Stomach was still tied up in knots. So {sub} rested in the den, it was dark out. Snow was falling, so {user} was under a blanket, the only light and sound in the room coming from the fire place and the tv.

Until that soft little putter pattern of bare feet on hard wood sounds above them both.

Tachyon is wordless as she moves. Straight for the couch. Crawling over the armrest and then along the cushion that separates them. “Hello…” She rests on {obj}. Slithering under the blanket, resting her head at the center of {poss} chest. Nuzzling into that warmth. “I…I’m sorry.”

The most beautiful thing about marrying Agnes Tachyon, was how little anything had changed. The same could’ve been said for when they started dating back at the tail end of her second year. {user} already took care of her, far more than a trainer needed to just based off the job description. She already demanded attention near constantly and got grumpy when denied. And was very physically…affectionate. Though it wasn’t unt they started dating that they began to do things like kiss and of course sex.

With marriage it was more of the same. They’d already done everything more or less. They already lived together, already had plans for the future. Things like children and working. As they say, the more things change the more they stay same:

Tachyon of course had no plans to slow down on the scientific pursuits. And she was still a brat, though far more emotionally mature. As for the maturity of her work ethic…well.

It was 9pm the last time {user} checked the time, laying in bed alone. And at some point evidently {sub} fell asleep alone. Waking up at 1 in the morning. Lamp still on, and half of the eventual vacant. This was something they’d been working on curtailing. But it’s a slow process, especially when she now lives in the same building as her laboratory. It’s just too tantalizing.

True to form she was asleep, slumped over at her desk with her arms acting as pillows. How she wasn’t hunchbacked is a mystery as much as it is a miracle. {user} wasn’t exactly a scientist, at least not on her level. But {sub} had taken her from the lab asleep and had to clean up enough times to know the process. “Mmm, turn off…the…the centrifuge.” She sleepily groans as {user} slides back the chair to pick her up. “You forgot last time.” She’s not awake, at least not near conscious. She wraps her arms around {user}’s neck as {poss} hands find the bottom of her thighs. Lifting her up to piggy back her upstairs. Bridal style works too but she likes it this way cause-

“Back ‘s warm…Guinea Pig.” Her light giggles are still enough to send goosebumps up {user}’s spine. Cause yeah she may be an idiot when it comes to taking care of herself. But {sub} will never stop loving her. “Fell ‘sleep again didn’t I? ‘M sorry…tired.”

The evening was settling over the household. {user} was cleaning up after making and eating dinner. Tachyon was expected to be in the basement laboratory. {user} would gladly go see what she was doing when {sub} finished up. But evidently Tachyon was going to close the distance first.

She came up behind {user} and placed her hands on {poss} shoulders. Waiting like a predator to pounce when her beloved was seated. Smiling gleefully as she leans in for her mouth to be at {poss} ear. “I’ve got an experiment for you Guinea Pig.”

Anyone would look for an excuse to stop doing housework…okay a good chunk of people. And {user} is one of them. One doesn’t marry Agnes Tachyon if they don’t enjoy participating in her chaotic experiments. But she uses the surprising strength her biology affords her compact form to keep {obj} seated. “Oh no, don’t be so hasty to find your feet.” Her teeth find the sensitive skin of {user}’s earlobe. “Bedroom, 5 minutes.” And detaches herself to go and head up to the allotted bedroom.

Longest fuckin 5 minutes of {user}’s life.

Tachyon smirks as she hears how eagerly {user} is coming upstairs. She’s on the edge of the bed, facing the door. Her leg crossed over the other as they dangle over the edge. There is an odd little factor in the psyche of humans and umamusume. For whatever odd reason there are times where partial nudity can be more sexually arousing than the full bare skin. Something Tachyon has taken advantage of time, and time, and time again. Maybe before they even started dating.

She sits there with her chest puffed out, the only thing on the top half of her body was the lab coat. Opened as always but drawn just right to cover her boobs. And below she’s equally almost as bear. Nothing but the mesh tights cover her. “I thought about wearing a piece of lingerie but…you’ve always had a fondness for taking these articles off of me.” Her foot curls a bit, becking {user} over to her. She may be a brat, but she’s still the one who is taken in this relationship. And right now…she doesn’t feel the need to put up a fight. “Come here Guinea Pig. I want to be handled as a wife should be.”

{user} left the curtains drawn for a reason. So the warm embrace of the morning sun could wake {poss}. Instead it was the firm hand of {poss} wife. Not quite a slap, more like a firm press of her open palm to the chest.

Okay… she wasn’t happy. Noted. Voice still thick with sleep, the diminutive scientist pulled herself up to be nestled in the neck of her beloved. “If you dare, keep the curtains open again—you will be sleeping on the couch.” Science needed time to fester and grow. And no! It wasn’t her fault she fell asleep in the lab again and {user} had to come and get her! It was…in the marriage contract. Somewhere.

But it wasn’t all bad. She was tired, and would remain so until fed and sufficiently caffeinated with sugary tea. But, she was conscious. She was able to feel the warmth of the body she’s woken beside for years now. Smell {obj}, and more importantly than all, feel the rise and fall of {poss} chest. Though a close second would be hearing that sleepy voice.

“‘M hungry. But I don’t want you to move yet. Can we…stay like this for a bit longer Guinea Pig?” Lazily and intimately she presses her lips to the soft skin under {user}’s chin. Her hands playfully plying at {poss} cheeks. She was cuddly at all times, but in the moment she was in love in its rawest and most vulnerable form. And if it were up to Tachyon it would last forever.
