Chapter 3
As the laptop screen turned black, a deafening silence struck the room. Maki and Nico were both rendered immobile from the parting words of their friend. The immense shock the two girls just experienced was staggering. It was so quiet you could even hear a pin d-
"Nico Nico Nii! Hello all you wonderful-"
*beep*
…
…
(…)
What?!
What?!
(What?!)
"What?!" exclaimed Nico and Maki in perfect unison. Good luck? Good luck!? Good luck with what exactly!? What the hell do we need luck for? Nico thought frantically. I-It's not like either of us are planning on doing anything!
"Give those two a moment alone and I guess this is what you get," Nico seethed.
This is stupid. Am I mad? Nico thought. This is stupid! Why am I mad!?
Gritting her teeth in frustration, she crossed her arms in a huff.
Dammit, what am I even mad about? I mean, all I did was just witness a display of debaucha-pravity from those two sexhibtionists! I mean it's not like I'm jealous. Wait, am I jealous? (yes) Tch! As if!
"Well I guess we know why they always took so long in there, huh? 'Student council meeting' my ass!" Nico looked toward Maki for some form of reassurance, but she appeared to be lost in her own thoughts.
She couldn't have meant good luck for…that…right? Maki thought. Her mind was racing with inappropriate thoughts. She had, admittedly, thought about these kinds of things before, but… I'm so sorry mother, you have raised such a bad, naughty girl! Please forgive me!
"Oi, Maki!" said Nico, "did you hear what I said?"
"Y-Yeah! Of course I did!" responded Maki, twirling her hair with her index finger.
Nico moved up close to the side of Maki and narrowed her eyes. Maki couldn't bring herself to meet her gaze.
"You're thinking of sex! Aren't you? Aren't you!?" Nico shouted.
"What?! N-No! Not at all!" Maki replied a bit too quickly.
"To think my own girlfriend would have such dirty thoughts!"
"Wa-Wait! J-Just listen!"
"My poor, innocent, pure Maki must have been spirited away somewhere."
"You're not listening!"
"I'll mourn you every day, Maki"
"N-Now just wait a second!" commanded Maki, "I-It'd be weird not to have those thoughts of my girlfriend, right? S-So…"
"So you admit it!" shouted Nico as she further invaded Maki's personal space.
"No that's not-!"
Nico quickly recoiled and covered her already clothed self.
"Maki, I know I am a perfect example of feminine beauty, but please, you have to control yourself!"
"W-why, you!" Maki closed the already small gap between them and shoved Nico backwards onto the bed. She towered over Nico, intent on giving her a piece of her mind. They both locked eyes, suddenly very aware of their compromising position. Maki's anger dissipated as she watched Nico's face turn a delightful shade of red. Maki felt her mouth go dry. The lump in her throat made it hard to speak.
"D-do you really like my chest?" Maki asked meekly.
"What?" Nico replied, finding it hard to speak herself.
"I mean, do you like me?" Maki looked at Nico with sullen eyes, "You only hold my hand when no one is around, a-and we haven't even kissed."
No, that's not it! Nico screamed internally.
"Maki…" Nico began.
Maki flopped onto her back next to Nico and sighed in resignation. She covered her eyes with her hand. I'm such a child.
"Sorry, Nico, I don't know what's gotten into me. Let's just finish your vide-"
"No, wait!"
The truth was. The truth was!
"The truth is, Maki, that I…I…" Nico inched her face closer to Maki's.
"You?" Maki turned her head to face Nico.
"I!"
"You?!"
"I'm the one always thinking dirty thoughts!" Nico admitted, covering the shame on her face with her hands.
"Wait, what?" responded Maki
"Whenever we're together all I can think about is you. When we're apart all I can think about is you," Nico continued, her hands gripping her face even tighter. "You're always on my mind, so of course I like you. It's stupid to think I don't."
"Nico…" Maki reached over to uncover Nico's face and was met with surprisingly less restraint than she expected. Nico, no longer able to cover her face, crossed her arms and looked away before she continued.
"I like your hair. It always smells really good. Even now it smells all nice and fruity, but it's not too strong. Your skin is always so soft and smooth like silk, and I always love holding your hand." Nico looked up at Maki and gulped. "A-And I'm always afraid that if I stare too long into your eyes I'll become lost, but then I think if I'm lost with Maki, then maybe that wouldn't be so bad."
G-Geez thought Maki. Nico was always good with words when it mattered, but that entire confession was on another level altogether. Hearing those words over and over again in her head made her heart skip a beat. She couldn't hide the smile beginning to spread across her face. As Maki took a closer look towards her lover she noticed something. Oh no, is her lip quivering? It must have taken everything she had to admit all that.
"That was really b-"
"A-And…" Nico stammered
Hmm? She's not finished?
"And when we're alone together I can't help but thinking of doing this or that with you, Maki." Nico tried to laugh, but only a few stressful coughs came out.
This or that?!
"J-Just what does this or that mean?!" demanded Maki. She was beside herself, but more importantly she was beside Nico! Naked! In a towel! Had she been tricked? Was this all an elaborate plot? Here she was, completely at the mercy of this tiny sex fiend. Remote location with only a towel to cover herself. On the bed! Nico was going to have her way with her! (Let's hope!)
A-Although... I-If it was with Nico, maybe it wouldn't be so bad.
Nico closed Maki's nose with her hand and waited for the lack of oxygen to give notice to the internally panicking girl.
"Did you even hear me?" asked Nico
Maki rolled off to the side of Nico and rubbed her nose. "What's wrong with you? I couldn't breathe!"
"Well you were ignoring me." huffed Nico, "I was telling you I'm not going to try and have my way with you."
"What? How did you-"
"Maki is always easy to read since she explains her thoughts with her face," Nico grinned through her explanation. Maki turned herself to the edge of the bed and pouted.
"Hey don't act like that, you were the one thinking of sex earlier anyway," Nico said flatly
"Yeah! But I wasn't thinking of this or that!" said Maki
"Then what were you thinking of?"
"Just stuff and things,"
"S-Stuff?! (and things too!) just what kind of stuff were you thinking about?!"
Nico was horrified
"Just the kissing. Maybe some hugging. S-Some touching."
Nico was cautiously turned on.
"See so it's nothing so wrong, right?"
Nico took a seat beside her girlfriend and wrapped an arm around her neck. She looked at her with a gentle smile that typically belied her playful nature. She was so forward and honest that Maki knew she could truly believe anything Nico was about to say, and take it as coming straight from the heart.
"You're a pervert, aren't you Maki?"
"..."
"Maki?"
"Yes, I'm a pervert." said Maki. She pushed her girlfriend back down and got on top of her.
"W-Wait a minute I was kidding!"
"I'm not."
"M-Maki I w-"
Maki shut Nico up with her lips. Nico's cries of protest died in her throat.
