The Hybrid

Which Side do You Prefer?

Thomas and Rosey lay together on the bed of furs, resting after a hard days work. They had been given as much time to rest as they wanted to. Thomas stroked Roseys back, feeling her exoskeleton. He gently rubbed her dorsal tubes, something which felt so comforting for her. She purred as her mate stroked her. She returned the favour by running a hand through Thomas' hair, enjoying how soft it was. Taking care not to hurt Thomas, she extended her inner jaw and kissed him on the forehead. She was extremely careful with the action, as it would probably puncture through his skull and kill him if she wasn't careful. And that was something no one here wanted. Thomas slowly woke up
"Hey Rosey. I've been meaning to ask you something. What side of me do you prefer?  My human side or my Xenomorph side?" Thomas asked his mate. Rosey thought about it.
"To be honest with you, Thomas. I don't mind. I love you in both your forms." She wrapped her tail around Thomas' waist and held him close.  Thomas traced Roseys ribs with a finger and kissed her carapace before placing his hands on her shoulders. He nuzzled his head against hers and held her close to him as well.
"Can you change to your Xenomorph form please love? I think it really brings out the warrior part of you" Rosey asked her lover.  Thomas kissed Rosey on the head before he stood up and changed to his Xenomorph form. Rosey stood up and wrapped her tail around Thomas' tail, their inner jaws meeting in a kiss. "Hey Rosey, remember when I first arrived here? You saw me laid over Nevlinae's shoulder, holding one of her back tubes" Thomas asked. Rosey nodded
"You were so cute when you were a kid. I wanted to hug you constantly." She replied. Thomas gently unwrapped his tail from around Roseys tail. "Well, time to show you how strong I've become." Thomas said with a smirk, before grabbing Rosey round the waist gently and lifting her over his shoulder. Rosey made a hissing laugh and gently beat on Thomas' back, taking care not to hit his dorsal tubes. Thomas gently placed her down and hugged her. Rosey hugged him back before the two of them decided to go get something to eat. He stroked her tail as they headed to the feeding room to share a corpse. The hunters had brought back fresh cows and Thomas was eager to eat. Rosey picked up a fresh and bloody bull and carried it to a corner, where she and Thomas began devouring the meat. For eating raw meat, Thomas usually had to use his Xenomorph form as his human form was not only unable to bite through the bones to get the marrow, which was his favourite part of the body, but it was unable to stomach raw meat. Thomas had been sick a few times when eating in his human form. He shook those thoughts from his head and continued eating. After a while, Thomas decided he'd need training once he'd relaxed and felt ready. He finished the meat and lay down, giving a small burp. Rosey made a hissing laugh as Thomas burped. She settled down with her mate and the two began to fall asleep to both digest their meal and make sure they had enough energy for training
