As the sun completely set and darkness spread over the world, Fuyu and the others lit a bonfire outside the hut in the backyard. They sat in a circle around it, feeling the warmth radiating outwards.
"It feels so comforting... hah..." Lara exclaimed, clearly enjoying the warmth from the fire in the cold atmosphere.
"Hmmm... so... good," Katty responded with a sweet smile. Everyone was enjoying it, but the time was getting late, and everyone needed to sleep.
"Alright, kids, enough now. Let's go to sleep. Put out the bonfire," Nula said as she got up. However, everyone protested, saying they wanted to stay a bit longer. Luckily, the winter here wasn't intensely harsh; it just got a bit chilly at night, though the daytime temperatures remained cool enough for them to survive easily.
"Nula, let them enjoy a bit more since they want to," Susan said calmly, also enjoying the warmth.
"Hah... alright, I'm not going to argue. I'm tired, so I'm going to sleep. Come inside soon after this," With these words, Nula went inside the hut, clearly exhausted.
"Alright..." After she left, they continued to sit there, and then Fuyu got up. Although his movement caught someone's attention, they remained silent and continued to enjoy the fire. Meanwhile, Fuyu went inside. It was nearly pitch black, but there was just enough light to see the way through the darkness. As he entered the hut, he saw Nula was already inside the blanket, covering herself while lying down on the ground.
"Mother..." Fuyu called her, moving to stand next to her.
"What? Are you done?" Nula asked, referring to the bonfire, as she saw him coming beside her.
"Ah... yes, Mother. But I came here because I saw you were quite tired, and I wanted... to, umm... you know, to massage you. I have been observing you are very tired every day and wanted to help you, but you know I feel embarrassed saying that, since previously when I tried, you said it's not manly for me to massage a female, that no males do it."
"What...?" Nula was shocked. She was a bit confused about how to react for a second before finally replying after a moment of silence.
"Oh my baby... I told you before, haven't I? I am happy that you are thinking that much about me, but it's alright, you don't need to massage me. Although I am tired, and it's not really a 'manly' problem, I simply can't let my kid massage my legs. I would be a bad mother for letting you massage me. It should be me who massages my kid, not you massaging me," Nula said in a calm and emotional tone, stopping her laying position and sitting up to face him directly.
"But Mother, I want to help you by massaging you. You always massaged me when I needed it, so I also want to. And since you just said you are tired and it's nothing that a male can't do, so let me help you," Fuyu said in a calm, determined tone. Nula looked at him without speaking, her mind churning.
"Yes, it's true. I am tired, but I never heard of a kid massaging his mother. But I do need a massage right now; it would relieve my tension, but..." Nula thought before asking Fuyu,
"Fuyu, my baby, aren't you worried that your aunt and sister will laugh at you if they find out that you are massaging me?"
"What? Of course not, Mother. Why do I care about it? First, tell me, you don't have a problem, right? You know I love you, Mother. That's why I'm doing it. If you like it, then why worry about them?" Fuyu said truthfully.
"That... I don't have a problem, Baby. But I was worried that you would feel ashamed in doing that, as no male really does it, that's why I stopped you. And yes, I know you love me; that's why you want to help your Mommy. And in fact, I am very happy just to hear these lovely words from you," Nula said, her lips curling into a gentle smile as she moved her hand towards Fuyu's face and touched it gently with affection.
"Mother, I am also glad to just help you. And yes, I am not ashamed of it at all. So, if you don't have any problem, then let me massage you," Fuyu replied calmly as he touched her hand which was on his cheek.
"Alright, Baby. I will give you this chance to massage your Mommy, but remember you are not forced to do it. You can stop any moment you want. And I guess Susan really was right; I am truly blessed to have a son like you," Nula said, her voice filled with affection. She removed the blanket from herself before giving Fuyu permission to massage her legs. He sat near her legs and told Nula to lie down and relax before he started to massage her calf.
"Oh my, it really feels so good..." Nula thought as Fuyu continued to rub and knead her lower leg and calf for some time before asking, "How is it, Mother? Does it feel good?" Although it was very dark to see his mother naked, he could feel her soft muscles in his hands.
"Hmm... it's good, but can you apply a bit more pressure there?" Nula suddenly asked. This made Fuyu a bit confused, thinking, "I guess I was using the correct amount of pressure, but if she wishes for more." Fuyu thought before applying more pressure.
"Ahh..."
"What happened?" Nula's sudden moan surprised Fuyu.
"Nothing, it's alright, keep going," Nula told him to continue with the same pressure, and Fuyu did so.
"Oh... gosh... I didn't know Fuyu could massage this good... Mmm... Soooo... good... Ahh... if I knew that before, I might never have stopped him from doing it. Oh... Mmm..." Nula thought, placing her arm over her eyes, covering them while thinking and moaning in between the massage. Her moans were seductively attractive. Fuyu had placed Nula's leg on his lap as he massaged it. After some time, Nula spoke.
"Don't just massage my calf..."
"Oh... Then here," Fuyu asked as he moved to her thick thighs.
"Hmm... ohhhh... so good... mmm~..." Nula said, moaning as she completely enjoyed the rubbing and kneading of her leg muscles. It was giving her a heavenly feeling, making her completely absorbed in it. Fuyu switched legs and continued. Nula was enjoying it, as it truly made her feel relaxed; she hadn't gotten a massage like this in ages. Because of this, she even forgot that Fuyu was doing it out of love and instead kept ordering him: "Do it here," "there," and "apply more force," "less force," and so on.
"Alright, Mother, I am done," Fuyu declared as he stopped massaging. Nula, who was at the peak of enjoying the massage and about to fall asleep, woke up suddenly and asked,
"What, done so early?"
"Yes, I mean, both of your legs are done," Fuyu said, tired himself from the continued massage for ten minutes.
"Then how about massaging my back?" Nula asked. She was addicted to this feeling; she was in a cliffhanger situation, feeling so good earlier, and suddenly, the feeling stopped, making her crave more of that sensation.
"Ah... that, Mother, I need to sleep, otherwise I won't be able to wake up tomorrow early and go to the field to do the work, so I can't," Fuyu said with a slightly hesitant voice.
"That... I see, it's alright. You did more than I expected. Thank you for making me feel this relaxed," Nula said. She was disappointed in her mind when he refused but knew she couldn't force him since she had set that boundary before starting the massage.
