Chapter Text
When you were an alpha, the need to assert dominance was generally a given. Exceptions existed, naturally, but usually, they were predisposed toward being the leader of a “pack.” To direct others and even inspire courage in them. Someone who made everyone else feel secure knowing they were in charge.
It used to be an important trait for survival, once upon a time. Now, even before modern times, it had become more sporting in nature. Yet what had always remained the same was the need for a strong will and a willingness to give it your all. If you were complacent with your position as the head alpha, then you did not deserve it. That was the attitude no matter what industry you were in, whether business or fast food.
It was something hard-won... and Sora did believe she had earned her position as head alpha of Hololive’s talents.
There was not really any contest to it, when considering the facts. She had stayed on the path of being an idol even with how meager the start of things were. She had encouraged her early coworkers as they slowly came in, making sure they stayed determined as well. Through tons of practice, she had perfected her singing, dancing, and everything else needed to be an idol. When more normal streaming became a part of things, she adapted quickly then, too.
Without her, Hololive might not have been able to exist. While she would never take credit for her friends' accomplishments, she had contributed to keeping them set along their path. No one could overlook the dedication she had in everything she had done.
Was it any wonder, therefore, that she had become the “pack leader” without needing to say a word?
The star-idol did not know when she became aware of her position. However, she felt it very well as she helped direct the members of Gen 0, the EN branch, and other staff with setting up the room, her voice carrying her authority. “Hurry up with that banner! It should have been hung up there ages ago! And Gura, keep your hand out of the snack bowl! Same thing to you guys, too, Fuwawa and Mococo! I know you were thinking about it!”
The shark-girl immediately moved away from the snack table along the wall, whistling innocently. The twins pouted her way, but went back to helping tie balloons on the edges of other tables and some chairs set out. The sight made Bae chuckle from where she was helping with some streamers by the large windows on one side of the room. “Jeez, you guys can’t even wait five minutes for Justice to arrive, huh?”
Bijou scoffed, shaking her head near the original Hololive member as she arranged a few plastic cups for drinks. “Honestly, messing with the food a little bit seems like a nice bit of subtle payback to them. Why not be a little petty?”
“You’re still not over that?” Shiori asked, helping with the banner while a staff member kept her stable on the ladder she was on. “They said they were sorry - they didn’t know the gods deceived them. They never actually hurt us, either.” She eyed Gura. “Plus, I’m fairly certain our pals are just hungry.”
“I still lost my breath plenty from us being on the move so much,” the gem-girl said, puffing her cheeks with an angry expression more cute than threatening. “Got my dress dirty, too. So maybe I should go over here and take a muffin, just to show them!”
...Sora glanced her way, her pheromones shifting slightly to further convey her displeasure at the notion. “Nobody is touching the food again until your Kouhais get here. Understood?”
Her tone barely had any steel in it... yet the Jewel of Emotions immediately went stock-still. This was then followed by her bowing her way, giving a slightly panicked apology. “I-I’m sorry! I’ll just get more cups!” With that, she rushed to the door, her clicking footsteps soon fading down the hallway.
There was silence for a moment, before Miko, who was carrying a box with Nerissa, looked at said woman questioningly. “Is she always that jittery?”
The sound demon snorted, shaking her head fondly. “No. But I mean... it’s her first time meeting Sora and the rest of you in person. Can you blame her?”
Miko shrugged, grinning over at her Genmate. “It’s pretty impressive you can even make a beta run for their lives there, Sora. That has to be a new record for talking with our Kouhais, too! Lord help her if she had been born an omega!”
Laughter filled the room, which Sora joined in on. It was a running joke among the JP branch that she struck fear into others by merely existing. It did not even matter that she was usually so laid back and friendly with everyone. If she was in the middle of helping direct events, then everyone immediately cowed to her.
It was a familiar song and dance... and tiresome in the lack of effort it required.
She frowned, trying to shake off that line of thought. Now... was not the time for any of that. This was meant to be a small party to welcome Justice - EN’s fourth generation - to Hololive HQ as part of celebrating their six-month anniversary. They were coming to Japan to spend time with their Senpais, who were all there anyway for the holiday season. Even Ame and Sana were taking time to see everyone, despite their graduations, as well as Fauna even with hers next month.
When she had caught wind of this, she had decided to help with making the newest members of Hololive - besides Flow Glow - feel appreciated for getting this far. And so, she had gathered the rest of Gen 0 to assist her in this. The staff had been willing to give them an empty room for this, and after the rest of EN had arrived, they had gotten straight to work.
They were kind of cutting it close, given how late she had learned about everything. But overall, everything was turning out as nice as it could be for a day’s worth of work. (She knew A-chan would have done better if she still worked there, though.) The room looked fairly festive, they had put together some decent food, and the spirits of all involved were lively. Everywhere she looked, the fifteen EN members still there and her own Genmates were all smiles as they conversed with one another. Everything was going great!
...There was no need to ruin it with something as trivial as wishing she had more “challenges” thrown her way these days.
That made the star-idol start to frown. Glancing around the room to make sure no one was paying attention to her, she quietly made her way to a nearby corner, trying to face away from the others. The last thing she wanted was to bring the mood down due to her lack of fulfillment for her more... domineering urges. Now is really not the time to be considering this. Why would anyone challenge me now of all time, anyway? It’s a party! That would be more annoying than satisfying for me and the others.
Still, it seemed that more and more, whatever the context, she kept noting moments like with Bijou. No matter what was being discussed or argued, the rest of Hololive seemed content to simply... give up when faced with her. Nobody was willing to rock the boat even slightly. She had fought her way to the top, and now that she was there... no one seemed willing to give her even the slightest of pushes.
Some might have felt good to be so unopposed - their position so highly regarded. And she was touched that everyone, including those with higher subscriber counts like Gura, looked up to her like that. It certainly was not like she wanted to be disrespected in any way.
But... it was also frustrating that no one so much as tussled with her. Because contests of dominance did not have to be serious by any stretch! They could be very playful, or born from mutual respect. A “fight” meant to keep the top alpha on their toes for a pack that wanted no new leader, and instead did the challenge to keep them strong. Even in loss, they were still seen as the head in such cases.
It was something she secretly yearned for, yet no one in Hololive was willing to give that to her. Not anymore, anyway. Her eyes went over to some nearby balloons, reminiscing as she stared. She had fond memories of the early days when the members they had then who were alphas did such friendly bouts. Often it was video game competitions, and other times there were more physical aspects, but she got involved all the same.
But at some point - she wants to say about the time of JP Gen 3 - her position started to seem more mystical to the others. That was when she became less involved in contests and started just being obeyed more. Soon, nobody ever gave her challenges, and even those unable to smell her pheromones became demure around her. The most pushback she ever got was for jokes on stream, but those lacked the thrill she sought.
She sighed, shaking her head as she looked at everyone moving around the room. She saw Kronii and Fauna messing with some potted plants, using their powers in tandem to increase their vitality. Roboco was talking with Ame, the two catching up after so long not seeing one another. Shiori continued to mess with the banner, with Kiara on the other side as they bickered with one another.
What would it be like being challenged by someone in EN? Sora wondered. The early days of Hololive mostly had humans and less powerful mythical creatures. By the time that people with far more spectacular abilities started to show up, the willingness of people to challenge her had stopped. Yet she still heard stories - of Calli’s very strong alpha pheromones, or Kronii’s ability to stop you in time and make you feel everything at once, or even just the determined gaming skills of Ame. Just picturing a contest with any of them in any form, and seeing their abilities...
None had done so, though, naturally. And to be fair, some were betas like Bijou who did not really get alpha dynamics. Others were also omegas like IRyS and Mococo, so they had been unlikely to give challenges. Not that it was impossible these days - plenty of groups had fun inviting omegas in as “honorary alphas” for a contest with pills to help compensate. She was more forgiving of them, though, for not approaching her to do so.
But the alphas... Why would no one do so for her? Why was she left out nowadays while they all enjoyed proving their dominance? Was it so much to ask for so much as a gaming contest these days beyond the tournaments they did for streams? Why-?
A tap on her shoulder made her jump. Turning around, she saw that Suisei had come up behind her, looking at her with furrowed eyebrows. Her tone mirrored the concern in her eyes. “Sora? Are you okay? You’ve... been pretty quiet over here.”
The star-idol internally cursed herself, realizing how much she had let her thoughts wander there. Thinking quickly, though, she put on a smile as she tried to wave off her friend’s worry. “Oh, I’m fine! Just... got lost in my head thinking about how things have gone over the years.” It was not a lie, but it was also too vague to really discern anything from.
Luckily, the comet-themed girl did not catch on to the truth. Instead, she looked around the room and all the decorations being put up, smiling wistfully. “I get what you mean... who would have thought Hololive would end up like this, huh?”
Latching onto the thread given to her, Sora nodded along as though that was exactly what she had been thinking. “I know, right? If you had told me seven years ago that I would be helping to greet a woman with a magic flame, a clockwork automaton, a gremlin, and a cat-girl with magical eyes... I might have called a psych ward, honestly.”
“Such is the world we live in now,” Suisei said, the two sharing a quick giggle. She then sighed, glancing down as she lightly poked at her neck. “I will say, though, I do not envy being Miko or any of the other omegas in the room right now when they finally arrive. This is going to be quite an overload to their senses with how unbalanced it is.”
“Are a lot of Justice alphas, then?” the star-idol asked. She realized she had forgotten to check amid the rest of the preparations. Not that it should be a problem regardless, as none seemed to be in heat, but still...
“Three out of four are,” the blue-haired woman answered. “The only one who isn’t is Cecilia, who is technically a beta. Though... you know, it’s more that she’s a machine and not organic.”
Sora raised an eyebrow. “Roboco has mods that make her an alpha.”
“Cecilia apparently predates that kind of stuff,” Suisei responded, shaking her head with bemusement. “I swear, one day we’re going to have a Kouhai who is older than death itself with how many immortals and such are here now.”
The star-idol giggled. “You should be careful about tempting fate there.” She looked over at a clock hanging on the wall. “Anyway, they should be here any minute now. Do you think everything’s ready?”
“I think so,” her Genmate replied, watching as Shiori and Kiara finally stepped off their ladders, the welcoming banner secured. The ladders were put to the side as she looked at her fellow alpha and smiled. “A good job as always, ‘boss.’ You have some great ideas on how to entertain our Kouhais.’”
Sora smiled back, holding back a snicker at the joking title from the rest of Gen 0. It was a private thing she allowed with honor... though at times like this, it also reminded her of the small rift between her and them now. How they put her on a pedestal as much as everyone else in the company. But she buried that pain in her heart, not wanting to ruin the moment.
...Though she did feel an urge to try and push for a small contest. Letting her pheromones shift slightly to the ones indicating an alpha was ready to challenge - always a bit sharper than their normal scents - she tried to grin at her. “So... you feeling up for a competition with singing? It’d be a shame to let the speaker and mic be solely in Calli and IRyS’ hands all night.”
For a second, she waited in anticipation for Suisei’s night breeze-like scent to sharpen, too, indicating an acceptance of the challenge. Years ago, it would have been accepted. She had plenty of good memories of the two of them going to bars and doing so. It was an easy one for the blue-haired woman to win, too, with how dedicated she was to music!
...But instead, her friend subtly flinched and shied away. Her pheromones, rather than sharpening, became duller in a sign of concession to solidify the denial. Yet even so, she smiled big and friendly at her. “Ah, there’s no need for that! We’re just here to have fun after all, right?”
The star-idol felt a small crack in her heart at the response, verbal and pheromone-wise. She almost wanted to glare or pout at the other... but she held those reactions back. As much as the lack of challenges frustrated her, she still had her pride in the image she had set up for herself. And besides, she... did not want to be angry with her friends. She was the one who had not properly talked about it for all this time, after all.
So she once again buried her pain, smiling back and doing her best to make sure her pheromones conveyed positivity. “I suppose so. But we should definitely get in a few songs, right?”
Her Genmate hummed, a look of... something slowly creeping into her eyes. Or perhaps that was her being paranoid. Either way, before her fellow idol could say anything, the clinking of Bijou’s footsteps soon reached the doors before she burst in, calling out to everyone. “They’re here! They definitely heard me coming this way, too! Get into positions! Hurry!”
Everyone quickly rushed around, forming a semi-circle around the entrance. Not long after, the doors opened again, and four figures started coming through, with a pink-haired woman with glowing blue eyes leading the way as she spoke. “Come on - she’s in here! I don’t know how you all lost her so quickly when her footsteps-”
That was as far as she got before several EN members used some party poppers, showing her in confetti as they all shouted. “SURPRISE!”
The members of Justice jumped, blinking in surprise as they took in the sight of the party around them. They gazed at the others in awe, before Gigi chuckled and nudged Raora’s side. “Wow. Your ‘god eyes’ are really something, huh? Missed this whole set-up when you were keeping an eye on old Beebers?”
The panther-girl huffed, blinking as her eyes became their normal yellow. “I did see it, actually. I just wasn’t going to ruin things for the rest of you.”
“Whatever helps you sleep,~” the gremlin said, laughing as the other merely rolled her eyes.
Giggling at the display, Sora stepped forward, looking at the leader of the group as she held out her hand. “Nice to meet you all in person! I hope you don’t mind the party! With your six-month right around the corner, I figured you all could do with a bit of extra fun than what the company already has in store!”
Elizabeth smiled, looking quite regal as she accepted the handshake and bowed her head. “It’s an honor, Sora-Senpai. And this... I don’t even know what to say. Thank you so much!”
Nerissa rushed forward then, grabbing the taller woman’s arm and yanking on her. “Come on, then! Let’s get this party started! You and I are getting the first songs today! I want to hear what your voice can do... so I know what I can expect tonight.~” She winked to punctuate this, smirking devilishly.
The Scarlet Queen sputtered, the refined air she just had dissipating greatly as she was dragged away with a deepening blush. “Wha-? J-just what are you trying to insinuate? As if I would ever-!”
Chuckles were had, followed quickly by everyone else getting close to the rest of Justice. Raora immediately started talking excitedly with Ina and Suisei, shaking their hands hard. Cecilia and Gigi, meanwhile, looked amazed as Sana came up and hugged them, having only heard of the graduated Council member before then. Everyone else also tried to get in their words of greeting with the newest EN members, too, with eager pheromones from alphas and omegas both already clouding the air.
The star-idol watched it all with a satisfied smile, feeling her earlier annoyance melt away. She could lament the drawbacks of her position as head alpha some other time. Right now, though, she would focus on making sure this celebration was the best it could be. And so she moved in to join the discussions, ready to get to know her Kouhais better.
(As she went elsewhere, though, she failed to notice a certain gremlin pause, sniffing the air, before looking her way. A look of curiosity overtook her features for a second as she stared... and anticipation. Her tail wagging behind her as she turned back to her group, a rough plan already forming in her mind...)
-------
Hours later, Sora believed she could say that the impromptu party was a huge success! Between the singing, food, and stories exchanged, everyone had seemingly had a good time! The members of Justice got to know the “original Senpais” better, were able to further clear tensions between them and Advent, and even got to demonstrate some of their abilities for fun. (Who knew Elizabeth’s sword could look even more powerful when engulfed in blue flames?)
There was a hiccup or two, like Mococo getting overwhelmed by all the alpha pheromones and clinging like a drunk to Raora, much to the latter’s slight, yet fond, embarrassment. The other omegas held it together, though, and all had a nice laugh at the hellhound’s expense. It had also seemed to make the leaders of both groups smile, likely glad that their rocky start was becoming more and more a bad memory to be ignored.
Overall, the star-idol was glad about how things had gone. All good things had to come to an end, though, and the members of EN had other stuff they needed to get ready for that evening. Thus, they eventually ended the party, giving some last words of congratulations and encouragement for the journey ahead of their Kouhais.
That had been about half an hour ago. Now she was by herself in one of the building’s locker rooms used by the talents to change clothes for in-house performances and such. The staff had offered to get the cleanup started while they all got freshened up and got ready to leave. Roboco and Ina had stayed behind to help regardless, and to collect leftover food for people to enjoy later. (The latter was very lucky to have pocket dimensions to store that kind of stuff.) Everyone else, though, was scattered around as they prepared for the rest of the day.
Normally, the other members of Gen 0 might have been with her in this room. However, Suisei and Miko had other places to be, and AZKi got a last-minute call from some family who said they needed her. So with the only other member helping with cleaning, she was left on her own as she rummaged through her assigned locker for fresh clothes.
Sora shivered, her body slightly damp from the shower she had just taken. She had gotten perhaps a little too into performing for the members of EN, and had worked up a sweat doing so. She was feeling refreshed now, standing there in a pair of plain white panties and a bra. She was having some trouble deciding what she wanted to put on, though, with her original outfit dirty. Maybe my bear hoodie with how cold it’s getting? But some of my other outfits have decent jackets...
She frowned, tapping her chin as she tried to come to a decision. It was not like she had anything else going on today, but it would be nice to see if she could catch EN before they all left. It was so rare that she got to interact with any of them directly, so she wanted to make the most of the experience! They had all thanked her for the party, but she had felt equally as honored to spend time with them and wanted to make sure that was made clear.
Plus... maybe she could check to see if one of the alphas was open for a challenge while they were in Japan.
She sighed to herself, not exactly having high hopes for that. She had done so before with Calli and Kronii at different points before today, and they had shied away like Suisei did earlier. It was like every new person to the company was already aware that she was on the unofficial “do not mess with” list - one she wished she could tear to shreds. No matter how early on she managed to catch them, they would already be acting like everyone else around her.
But still... it was worth a try. Who knew when any of them might finally change their mind about this whole business? If she kept doing it, then surely word would get around that... she just wanted to have a friendly contest of dominance. That she was not testing them, or trying to intimidate, or whatever it was they believed she was up to when she released the correct pheromones.
...She wondered sometimes if it was thanks to her Genmates and other early members. If they contacted their Kouhais when they joined just to be sure that they never gave her challenges themselves. All to preserve this idea of her being a holy idol who-
Growling, the star-idol shook her head violently, trying to dislodge such notions. She took a deep breath, trying to keep herself calm. You did fine at the party earlier. Don’t ruin the rest of your day over ideas you have no evidence for. All it will do is... drive a wedge between us and all the friends we’ve made here.
That was the last thing she wanted. She loved all the amazing people she had met thanks to Hololive, and would cherish these bonds forever. As said before, she was even flattered a little that she was held in high regard regardless of her overall popularity. She was proud of what her determination in this industry had led to for her and all of them.
All she wanted was for more of them to be... casual around her. In private, if nothing else. To be allowed to indulge in the activities of the average alpha with those she cared about. To be able to have a challenge again with someone. Any contest was appealing at that point after-
“Well damn - so that’s the gyatt that you’re hiding all the time under skirts and stuff,” a voice spoke up behind her. “Not the biggest, but streams don’t do it justice.”
Yelping, Sora spun around, raising her hands in a defensive stance. When she looked, though... she saw it was only Gigi, one of EN’s newest members. She stood on a bench between the rows of lockers, putting her more at eye level with the original idol. She looked much the same as before, wearing her orange and yellow hoodie with its hood pulled down. Her pink eyes gleamed, the black tail behind her swaying almost hypnotically with what looked like an orange eye of its own, but she could not tell if it was real.
Taking a few breaths to calm down, she looked at the short woman with disbelief, trying to process the sudden intrusion. “G-Gigi? What are you doing here? This isn’t where EN changes when they’re here.”
“I know,” the gremlin said, grinning at her. “I came here to spend a few moments with you.”
...The star-idol blinked once. “Me?”
Gigi shrugged, looking almost amused at her confusion. “Is there anyone else in the room right now I’m talking to?”
“No, I just mean... I...” Shaking her head, Sora tried to get some semblance of control over the situation as she gestured to the surrounding room. “Where did you even come from? I didn’t hear you come in at all!”
“I used the door,” the gremlin replied simply.
“...But the... the door is quite heavy. The hinges are fairly squeaky, too.”
“I was very stealthy and careful about it.”
“But that isn’t how-” the star-idol began, only to notice once more a gleam in the other’s eyes. Sighing, she decided to give up on that and crossed her arms. “Nevermind. But... why did you want to see me?” She glanced down at her state of undress, blushing lightly. “And why could you not wait outside to do so?”
“Does me being here make you uncomfortable?” Gigi asked... Though while her tone was joking, there was a nervousness given away by her pheromones - scent like freshly brewed coffee with sugar. (She was not normally a fan, but it somehow worked for the other.)
“I don’t very much like being taken off-guard by someone coming in while I’m like this,” Sora deadpanned. She sighed again, though, as she shrugged. “But it’s fine. I’ve changed in front of plenty of the other girls before.” It’s weird to be doing so around someone so new, though.
The gremlin relaxed a tad, giving an easy smile as she stepped to the edge of the bench she was on. “Well, to answer your question: I just found you... interesting during the party. And I noticed some things that I wanted to talk to you more about.” Her eyes suddenly flashed with... some other emotion she could not discern. “Depending on what I learn... I also thought a locker room would be a good enough setting.”
The star-idol’s eyebrows furrowed. Just what did that mean? She did not know... but for some reason, her chest and stomach felt a little tingly all of a sudden. An anticipation in the air she had no clue how to place.
She tried to ignore it as she sighed, turning back to her locker and continuing to search through her clothes. “Al... right, then? Just give me a second to pick out an outfit.”
“No reason we can’t talk while you look, right?” Gigi asked, hopping off of the bench... Her feet never touched the ground, though, as her tail hit the tiled floor and kept her elevated. It moved the claws on its end, getting her beside the human girl surprisingly quickly as she continued to smile at her. “So... you’re an alpha, too, huh?”
Sora shrugged, figuring that was obvious. “Yeah. Most of Gen 0 is, actually. Only Miko is an omega. I hear it’s rather similar for your group?”
“Yep, though we’re trying to see if we can ‘upgrade’ Cecilia at some point,” the gremlin confirmed. She sniffed a little, clearly judging her pheromones. “Hm... reminds me of tayaki. They’re pretty strong, too. You must be hot with the omegas. Did you have any good mates before joining Hololive?”
The star-idol nearly choked a bit at the comment. It had been ages since anyone had talked with her about anything related to love and stuff. It was another part of the pedestal she had been put on by the others. Hearing it so out of the blue was almost surreal to her after so long.
...But it certainly was not unwelcome. She could not help but smile some more, a small thrill going through her at the prospect of enjoying such a simple conversation topic again. She had no clue why this Kouhai of hers was acting braver than the others, but she was not going to ruin it by asking too many questions despite the sudden intrusion. At least, not yet.
She picked up the pink shirt that went with one of her casual outfits, inspecting it as she shook her head. “Not really. I mean, I had quite a few admirers, even before my dreams to be an idol took off. But I was always more focused on those dreams, so I never really took time to be that close with any omegas.” She hummed to herself. “Well, actually, I guess A-chan was a close contender. Nothing ever really happened between us, though.”
“A-chan is an omega?” Gigi asked. When she got a nod, she gave a low whistle. “Damn. And she managed to rise to such a high position in the company before retiring? Good for her! This place has so many more opportunities for them than in Freesia!”
“Some old biases still exist, but the world has come a long way there,” Sora agreed. She tossed the shirt back, inspecting some of her skirts. “What about you? Did you have any good mates in the past?” Her pheromones were certainly potent enough to attract plenty.
“Nah, none for me,” the gremlin said. “To be honest... their pheromones don’t really ‘do it’ for me. Doesn’t matter how much they flood an area with them. It can actually be quite annoying, in fact.”
That caught the star-idol’s attention, looking over at her more. “Really? That’s a pretty rare trait.” There were known cases - of alphas with no strong attraction to omega pheromones, and vice versa. But this might be the first time she was knowingly talking with someone like that.
Gigi nodded to confirm. “Yep. My parents thought it was just a phase at first, but my... time in Justice I think has finally convinced them.” She tilted her head. “You don’t mind, do you?”
Sora scoffed. “As if I’d ever judge a person on something so trivial. The people who do baffle me. It’s not like you have any control over it.” She shook her head. “Honestly - it’s not like it affects them. Plenty of alphas date other alphas and betas as well regardless of such a trait! So what does it even matter?”
The gremlin looked a little stunned by the passion in her voice. A small smile soon graced her lips, though, her voice softer as her cheeks pinkened. “That... means a lot, hearing it from someone like you. Thanks.”
The star-idol gives her a big grin, always glad to brighten up someone’s day. “No problem! I can promise you that nobody else will judge you in Hololive over it, either.” She did not believe they would, anyway, and if they did... they would answer to her. Putting that aside, though, she looked at her Kouhai curiously. “I hope the rest of Justice has treated you nicely over it, too. Which is not me accusing them of anything - they all seem wonderful! I just don’t know what your exact relationship with them all is.”
“...You could definitely say they’re accepting, yes,” Gigi responded, smirking like she had just told some great joke.
Sora raised an eyebrow, but decided not to press the matter, the tingle in her chest intensifying. Ignoring it and focussing on her clothes once more, she attempted to keep the conversation going. “So was there anything else you needed? I don’t want you to keep your friends waiting.”
“They’ll be fine - and even if they leave, I can track them down easily!” the gremlin reassured. Then... her face took on a more serious expression than she had seen the whole day. “But if it’s alright... can I ask how you’re doing with your friends?”
...The star-idol paused, the hairs on the back of her neck standing up. Hoping that she was misunderstanding her, she attempted to maintain her smile as she looked at her again. There was... no way the other had noticed anything before, right? “What do you mean? I’m fine with Suisei and them!”
Gigi looked unconvinced, raising an eyebrow as she sniffed. “Really? Then why are your pheromones going a little haywire there? I can detect a slight ‘dejection’ in them as well. You’re very good at hiding them. I almost didn’t notice that at the party earlier with all the others in the air.”
Sora blinked, her hand unconsciously moving up to her neck to cover her scent glands. “Y-you can detect all of that?”
The gremlin nodded, gesturing at herself. “Uh, yeah? I’m the chaser of Justice for a reason! My sense of smell lets me pick up on a lot of subtle things. It helps me with keeping track of my quarries no matter how far they are! It took years of training to hone these senses!”
The star-idol stared at her a moment longer, a little amazed despite her surprise. Even the animal-hybrids of Hololive like Korone did not have such an acute smell. She wondered if it was a trait all of her kind had, or if she was a special breed of alpha. Subsections for them and omegas existed, but they were so rare that not a lot of people knew the terms.
She was brought out of her thoughts by Gigi sighing, leaning back against the nearby locker. (It looked kind of comical since she was still suspended by her tail.) “Look, if you don’t want to talk about it, that’s fine. I know we just met. But if you need someone to talk to... well, that’s half the reason I’m here.”
Sora’s eyes widened, amazed at how... thoughtful that was. It was not like they were close like she just said. And... no offense to the shorter woman, but she did not seem like the most reflective of individuals. Yet here she was, checking up on her Senpai after one meeting even with her friends waiting on her. Suddenly, those eyes that had been filled with mischief before had a depth she would never have expected.
She hesitated, not sure if she should say anything. The only person she had confided with about any of this was A-chan - with the promise she would not confront the others about any of it. As much as she valued her best friend’s input, though, there were simply things she did not understand as an omega. Stuff that could not be conveyed with words.
Perhaps... venting to a fellow alpha was just what she needed. One who so far did not seem blinded by her status.
Thus, clinging to that thin hope, she sighed and relented, staring pensively ahead into her locker. “I... I just get a bit tired of it sometimes, is all. Of being seen more as the one who helped start Hololive and... not the girl underneath that image.”
The gremlin tilted her head, her voice kind and inviting. “Can you elaborate on that?”
The star-idol shrugged. “All of my friends, including those who were here early on... They act like they’re afraid to engage with me. That I’m ‘too special’ and ‘pure’ to be engaging in certain activities. They respect my authority, but won’t do things like be too crass around me except for jokes on stream, which they then apologize to me for later. As if I haven’t told them a thousand times that I don’t mind and want them to be themselves around me.
“But even worse is... I don’t know how to describe it. I’m treated like the pack leader, but it’s like they overlook the urges that come with that for me! Nobody wants to accept my challenges, or give any prodding at my position, or-!” She took a deep breath, raining in her temper as she slumped somewhat. She stared ahead melancholically. “Every fiber of me wants to engage with them like that... but I’m just a figurehead, it seems.”
Seconds passed, her wishing to say more - feeling nowhere close to properly explaining herself. But despite this... Gigi seemed to get the gist of things, both from her words and the pheromones of frustration she was producing. She placed a hand on her shoulder, squeezing it gently. “I’m sorry... that sounds rough. Every alpha needs to let loose at least once in a while with their pack. It sounds like you’re getting the beta treatment, though.”
Sora chuckled bitterly. “It might have been better for me if I was born as one at this point.” She sighed, rubbing a hand down her face. “I... I don’t hate them, though. They all believe in me - look up to me. It’s not like I want to step down, either - not yet.” She closed her eyes. “But is it so much to ask for more... normalcy in my life, despite the fame and prestige?”
“...I don’t think so,” the gremlin eventually said. “You’re a person like everyone else. What you’re asking for should be very simple to have. I don’t imagine it’s easy to deal with, especially when it’s related to your alpha instincts.”
A short, relieved laugh left the star-idol. She had wondered if she was crazy to want these sorts of things and reclaim some of those early-day experiences. So hearing from someone new that it was alright was a weight off of her shoulders she had not realized she needed. It did not solve anything, but... it was validation, at least.
Gigi shifted, leaning even closer with her tail as she continued. “They should definitely be accepting the challenges you provide. They don’t have to be anything deep or pack-altering. It can just be for fun, or to highlight a weakness they want you to shore up.”
“Exactly!” Sora exclaimed, throwing up her hands. “Do you know how maddening it can be at times to fill the air with challenging pheromones, only to be left dry so many times in a row? I mean, you can’t even do it for a video game?”
“I think I’m getting the picture,” the gremlin replied, moving behind her a bit. “I smelt the remnants of your pheromones for one when we showed up earlier. For singing, I’m guessing, given everything set up?”
The star-idol nodded, just breathing in for a moment to continue being calm... However, she soon paused as she became aware of a... shift in the air. Not just in a mood sense, but also from her Kouhai’s pheromones, which had gained a heaviness of... anticipation to them. She also noticed that the hand was still on her shoulder, whose hold suddenly felt quite... possessive. Her companion’s other hand also suddenly brushed at her midriff, reminding her of her state of undress.
She shivered, feeling her face start to flush. A nervous feeling built up in her chest, though... it was not unpleasant. On the contrary, the way her heart was picking up felt good. Tingles went through her body... including for some reason down near her groin, which surprised her. Her rut was not for another two weeks at least, and yet this feeling...
Swallowing thickly, she blinked hard to clear her thoughts, trying to figure out what was happening. (Deep down, though... she thinks she knows.) Not turning her head, she glanced as far back as she could to try and see the other’s face. “G-Gigi? What-?”
“It must be so hard on you,” said woman continued, her voice seeming to become smoother with every word. “No mate and no alpha to let some steam off of. Nobody willing to give you some relief of any kind... when all you want is a simple challenge.” She chuckled lowly, leaning in right next to her ear... before whispering huskily. “So... what if I provided one?~”
The question was punctuated by a sudden wave of fresh pheromones... her coffee scent suddenly sharper. A clear sign that she was pushing her. That... she wanted an official alpha challenge, just between the two of them. A test of dominance.
Sora’s breath caught, eyes wide. Was... this really happening? Was someone... finally asking for a contest with her? She wondered if she had passed out at the party and was dreaming. If so, though, she never wanted to wake up. She did not think she was dreaming, though. It felt too real - the beating of her heart and... the sudden heat inside of her. Pent up indeed...
She was in too much shock to respond for a time. But she quickly tried to force some words out, as if worried the challenge would disappear if she did not. “What... kind of challenge?”
Gigi hummed, fingers idly drumming at her shoulder. “Anything you want, really. We could go see if the karaoke stuff hasn’t fully been packed away yet. It is what you originally wanted to do, isn’t it? I don’t like to think I’m a bad singer, so that could be a nice back and forth.” She snickered. “We could make it hard by having to do heavy metal songs.”
“Oh God,” the star-idol managed, a few giggles escaping imagining it. She was aware of the loud screaming that often went into that type of music, so unlike what she normally did. Just picturing the faces of everyone else if they ever heard her doing that kind of singing...
“Or we could put this on a small raincheck and play some games later this week,” the gremlin offered next. Her fingers shifted to start digging into her Senpai’s back - carefully avoiding getting too close to her neck. “I’m not leaving anytime soon. Just give me a date, and I’ll come running to your house, where we can talk snidely and shove one another while we play like proper alphas!” The grin in her voice became more palpable. “But I’m guessing that you don’t want to wait, right?”
Sora shook her head, holding back an indignant growl at the notion. Something... primal inside of her was stirring now, awoken after so long without any true contests. She had to clench her hands to keep her breathing steady, fighting off a trembling deep in her core. But for all her self-control, she... she could not just step away from this. She needed this!
She licked her lips, trying to keep her voice casual to hide her desperation. (Her pheromones were likely giving it away, but she could pretend otherwise.) “Roboco probably got most of the karaoke stuff put away by now. She’s crazy strong when she wants to be! So if we can’t do either of those things, then...”
Gigi’s breath was on her ear again after she trailed off, her tone conveying a giggle without needing to vocalize one. “...Then what, Sora-Senpai?”
The star-idol closed her eyes, her nose twitching from the other’s eager pheromones. She... had a pretty good guess what her Kouhai was aiming for. Yet she was not going to let go of her pride to ask herself, so she played it coy. “...I don’t know. Why don’t you give another idea? You seem rather smart.”
The gremlin was silent for a moment. The original idol wondered if the short woman was going to try and force her to give the offer. Her lips twitched, about to flare her pheromones and demand that she say what she wanted-
-but cut off as her Kouhai’s second hand placed itself on her stomach... its fingers centimeters away from her panties, holding back a growing bulge. The one on her shoulder also trailed its nails closer to her neck. Her companion’s smaller body pressed against her back, her warmth seeping in despite still being clothed... and a rod of her own poking her.
The Chaser of Justice’s next words were as blunt as the pheromones she sent. “Just one where we can have a good time...”
...The entire room seemed to hold its breath, waiting for Sora’s response. Some might have expected her to throw off Gigi for her actions. Such a thing was completely unprofessional for her to do to her Senpai. There was also the idea that someone might step in at any time, catching them in such a compromising position.
...Instead, she gave a curious hum, as though her whole body was not tense from anticipation, her voice casual. “You are... quite the bold woman, aren’t you?”
“I think it’s more stupidity,” the gremlin responded, making no further moves as she kept speaking in her ear. “I tend to do a lot of things without thinking them through. I just do what I think will make people happy, or get a laugh from them... or satisfy them. I’ve bitten off more than I can chew before.”
“Including with your team?” the star-idol guessed, a puzzle piece sliding into place.
“With Liz and Cecilia, no,” Gigi answered. “Or, well, I mean that I was able to handle them, if not overpower them. Which is kind of funny with the latter since she isn’t an alpha or omega. Raora, though... dear mama, is that woman a tease. Those eyes of hers help her find all of my weak points, I swear.”
“...Do you think I’ll be easier?” Sora asked, smirking a little as she let her voice become more teasing. (She... did not even remember the last time she did that.)
The gremlin hummed once more, her lower hand slightly creeping toward her underwear. “Don’t know yet. Humans can be surprisingly difficult and stubborn. I can’t say I’d mind, though.” Some of the husk suddenly disappeared from her voice, her tone serious. “But only if you consent. I know I’ve gotten you riled up, but if this isn’t what you had in mind, I can give you a... moment in private, and we can find something else to do around the building.”
The star-idol smiled at this. She had not doubted that her Kouhai would back off if she asked, but it was still nice to hear. With whatever magical abilities she had, she could likely overpower her in a fight. Yet here she was, showing respect for her wishes.
The question was, though... did she want this? It was... definitely not what she had envisioned as what she would want to do if she could finally get someone to accept a challenge. Realistically speaking, there was no reason they could not do singing, either, even if the karaoke stuff was put up, or find games like the shorter woman suggested. There was no need for such an escalation in activity.
...But it had been a very long time. And the EN member was being ever so kind with offering her services to help with her frustrations. With the primal urges stirring in her gut, too...
Sora turned her head, catching the other’s eye. “You move quite fast with things, huh? With consent, of course.”
“Chaser,” Gigi said, gesturing to herself like it should be obvious.
The star-idol snorted. “I don’t think that’s a real excuse.”
The gremlin raised an eyebrow. “Is there a problem with that? Or me being an alpha?”
Sora gave a minute shrug. “Those are not issues with me.” She tilted her head in consideration. “But there is one thing that gives me a bit of pause.”
Gigi leaned into her face. “And that is...?”
A second passed... then the star-idol’s pheromones sharpened. She grinned viciously, letting her urges bubble to the surface as her tone lowered. “I simply don’t believe you're brave enough to go down on your Senpai like that. Can you prove me wrong?~”
The gremlin’s response was to quickly spin her around, followed by crashing their lips together.
Sora growled into the kiss, pressing close to her challenger as she tried to force her jacket off. Gigi was not idle, either, as her arms wound around her tightly and her hands started to scratch down her back. She also lifted the human off of her feet, using her tail to carry them both elsewhere in the room.
The star-idol paid this no mind as she wrapped her legs around the other. She ground her hips into her Kouhai’s, their members becoming fully hard in their clothed containers. They grunted and panted, but did not stop their makeout session, with their tongues getting involved. She marveled at how human the other’s was, if rougher, even as she gave up on the hoodie and forced her hands under her shirt. She Groped at the small chest under what felt like a sports bra, lingering on the stiff nipples she found beneath.
Small moans came from her Kouhai, making her shiver and growl deeper. Her entire body was abuzz, the tingling from before becoming an inferno of want. She never in her life thought she would be humping a coworker she had barely met in a locker room where they could both be caught. Yet all thoughts of the risks were drowned out by the pounding in her heart and the thick pheromones of lust wafting between them.
Plus... the shorter woman looked cute. With how good her tongue was as well, she decided there were worse people she could have a fling with. Thank Christ I don’t have to worry about protection for this... At least I hope not. I’m not doing it in the ass for this...
(God, A-chan would have a heart attack if she heard that one aloud.)
Her hazy musings were stopped as she left herself being lowered. Paying attention to their surroundings again, she saw that the gremlin had carried them over to a large blue crash mat that had been lying on the floor. They were used during choreography lessons at times when they were doing particularly tricky maneuvers. Staff sometimes left them in these rooms as well, knowing how... hyperactive certain talents were.
She was very glad for it now as she was placed on her back, her hair disheveled around her. Gigi broke the kiss, both of them panting as she leaned up and sat on top of her, grinding her hips once more on her Senpai’s member. It forced her to suck in a gasp, causing deep chuckles from the gremlin as she pulled off her hoodie. “Someone sounds needy right now.~”
“Not as much as you’ll be,” Sora growled, her fingers digging into the mat. She resisted the urge to buck her hips, biding her time as a frenzy built in her chest.
The gremlin actually shivered, her grin savage and excited as she tossed aside her shirt, leaving only her black bra. “Oh, wow - you’re good at that. You could pin an omega with that voice! Such a shame you’ve never had a mate.” She hummed. “Which reminds me... Are you a virgin? I’d hate to take your first time.”
“Am I in for that bad of a time?” the star-idol asked with a teasing smirk.
Gigi barked a laugh. “Oh, screw off! I only mean it’d be a shame to lose it in these kinds of circumstances instead of someone you love.”
Sora felt a tiny thrill at someone being willing to curse directly at her playfully. The lookout for her satisfaction was also a nice touch. But still, she shook her head as her partner lifted off for a moment to take off her shorts and shoes. “Well, I’m not. I’ve never been with an omega, but... funnily enough, it was another alpha like you.”
“Oh?” the gremlin asked, kicking her lower garmons aside as she was left in baggy black boxers. “Who was the lucky girl?”
“I’ll keep that one to myself,” the star-idol said. “Just know it was a Hololive member... and I didn’t lose.” She propped herself up on her elbows, her grin widening. “I showed her why I was on top of this company... and I’ll do the same to you.”
Gigi grinned back, leaning closer, her pheromones almost seeming to match the heat of her breath. “That confident, huh? Not even a little scared that I’m a mythical being?”
“Who says the other person wasn’t one, too?” Sora asked, eyes defiant.
The gremlin merely chuckled, leaning right in front of her face as their breaths mingled. “Hm... It would be quite the story for me to tell, you know. Meeting you for the first time, then asserting my dominance on the same day. Showing off the strength of the new Kouhais coming in.”
“It would be,” the star-idol agreed, raising one hand to move some hair off of the other’s face. “It would also be a nice story if I overpowered you and showed that the older Gens still have plenty of vigor in us. Experience over youth, almost.”
Gigi nodded, the two staring into one another’s eyes. There was desire in them... but also that glint of challenge. To make good on the claims they were spewing to each other. To prove who was the stronger alpha - at least as far as their instincts went. It was a clash of wills, waiting to be unleashed.
It had been too long since Sora had a challenge of dominance... and she did not plan to go down easy now that she had one again.
Her Kouhai was not going easy on her, either, as she suddenly dived in and reclaimed her lips. The shorter woman’s hands went along her back, one finding the clasp of her bra, and the other kneeing her ass. It made her moan, but she quickly retaliated by pushing her hands under the gremlin’s own bra. She pinched at it, reveling in the gasps it caused between their heated kisses.
Eventually, she pushed the garment up, leaving most of her partner’s chest exposed. She lowered her head, latching her lips onto the left nipple immediately while one hand groped the other. Gigi sucked in a breath, instinctively pulling her in closer as moans and growls continued spilling out. The star-idol knew they had to be feeling especially sensitive thanks to her pheromones, able to rile up alphas and omegas alike.
Her advantage only lasted so long, however, as the gremlin, even in the throes of pleasure, managed to get her bra undone. It fell to the ground, leaving her nipples exposed to a sudden attack of pinching and twisting. Flares of pleasure went down her spine, eyes rolling back briefly as she moaned from the assault. Yet even so, she kept up her attack, hoping to overwhelm the other first.
Sora soon found her back on the mat again, Gigi looming over her. The shorter woman started to roll her hips, the friction on their members making them shiver. But her Kouhai was the one in control, managing an angle that caused her Senpai to receive more attention. It left her panting, having trouble keeping up her work on the other’s breasts after a while. There was a hot feeling starting to build up in her groin - not ready to release, but noticeable all the same.
Gigi took a good sniff of the air, clearly pleased with what she was smelling. She grinned cockily down at her, giving her hips a good roll. “Oh? What’s the matter? Giving up so soon, Senpai ?~ Not that I mind servicing you, of course.”
While the star-idol normally felt she was quite humble, the comment stabbed at her ego as an alpha. She glared up, face flushed as she swallowed down further noises that wanted to escape her throat. The way she bared her teeth was not becoming of an idol, but matched her alpha nature perfectly. If this little brat thought she was that easy, she had another thing coming!
To prove so, she shot both of her hands to the gremlin’s boxers, yanking on them. It exposed her member to her, rather thick and with pre-cum leaking from the tip. She saw how it stiffened at suddenly being free, as if expecting her next action.
The next second, her hand moved, pumping the member up and down. Gigi choked up, her hips thrusting into the motion. Delicate fingers rubbed at the base, then rose back up and using fluids from the tip as a lubricant. She could feel how it pulsed, the texture once more being very human. Guess gremlins and us have a lot in common.
After a minute of this, she watched the EN girl grit her teeth, the stimulation causing her to lean forward onto her Senpai for support. She smirked, leaning up enough to whisper in her ear. “How does it feel? Being pleasured by the ‘seiso idol’ of Hololive? These aren’t skills I make very public. Do they shock you?~” She emphasized the point by rubbing her thumb over the head of the member.
A guttural groan left the gremlin, her hips twitching. Yet even with her face screwing up with pleasure, she gave the brown-eyed woman a defiant look. “Y-you... you’re not g-gonna make me give out first! I can do this just as good!”
Hands moved down to Sora’s panties, making said woman growl as she tried to stop it. However, Gigi soon reclaimed her lips, sending out a heavy wave of pheromones as she did so. The sudden tongue down her throat left the star-idol struggling. And despite not being an omega, the intensity of the other’s scent was making her head a bit foggy, further slowing her down.
This gave her Kouhai the opening she needed to get her panties down far enough to let her member free. The gremlin looked down as it pointed upward, a gleam in her eyes as she licked her lips. Realizing she was losing control of this, Sora tried to increase her strokes. Yet this only lasted a second before her hand was seized followed by the other as they were swiftly pinned above her head. When she tried to move her legs, the short woman’s tail pinned them both below the thighs.
Gigi moved to the side of her, using her knees and legs to help keep her weighed down. Looking over her Senpai, she grinned as she leaned closer to her body. “My, my. I saw it earlier, but you look gorgeous. Such strength hidden in such a slender body, and the size of your appendage there!” She nodded at her member. “You’re quite the alpha, and I’ve known plenty of them... Which is why this is going to be so nice .~”
Grinning widely, she used her free hand to start rubbing Sora’s dick. She hissed, squirming under the firm but smooth jerkings, but unable to escape her Kouhai’s grasp. She took deep breaths, her nose filled with her scent and making her dizzy. The heat in her groin got stronger, a pressure building and making its way to her shaft.
The heat intensified as the gremlin moved her mouth to her nipple, sucking and grazing it with her teeth. The star-idol fought to keep her breath steady, trying not to focus too much on the stimulation she was receiving. She had to admit, though, that the shorter woman was incredibly good at this. She supposed she would be, given what she claimed about her Genmates, but still...
Gigi unlatched from her breast, her smile feigning sweetness, but there was a hint of triumph in those pink eyes. “You still holding up there? You getting close?”
Sora shook her head, wishing the denial was closer to reality than it was. But... God, it had been a long time since she had been treated like this. The growls within her chest were slowly but surely giving away to whines as a fire burned brighter in her gut.
“You don’t have to lie - I still respect you!” the gremlin continued. “You’re the reason I’ve had such an amazing six months, if you think about it. You made Hololive. Hell, hiring Advent and our monitoring of them helped give us the first clues that we had been lied to. I know it’s a little silly, but thank you for that!”
Her cheery voice did not match the lewd motions of her hand. The star-idol was panting more, a tingle building in the base of her member. It was slowly expanding - a sign that it was ready to knot someone. She bemoaned the sign that she was losing it... yet the desire to climax was starting to drown it out.
“Honestly, this whole contest might have been unfair from the start,” Gigi kept saying, fingers lingering over the knot briefly. “You’re so out of practice trying to dominate people. Your friends have let you get too complacent!” She shook her head, her eyes then showing a reassuring kindness. “So don’t feel bad about how this is ending. You have to start again somewhere to get back into things, don’t you? I’m happy to help there!”
Sora’s eyes started to glaze over, the heat starting to rise more through her shaft. For a second, she found herself lulled by the words. It... would not be so bad to give in, would it? This could be seen as... practice. The idea seemed more appealing as her hips started to vibrate, desperately trying to hold back from unloading-
-which became harder as a tongue went up her shaft, making her moan and her toes curl. Gigi giggled, looking her way and smirking as she licked her lips. “You taste wonderful... So why not let me win? Let your strong alpha give you all the praise and pleasure in the world. Just stop struggling and let go .~”
The point was emphasized by a lick on her member’s head. The star-idol’s eyes fluttered, her strength nearly giving out. For another second, she truly felt like obeying. Letting her head fall back onto the mat and waiting for that release. She could feel it only moments away, the heat rising and knowing she was nearing the point of no return. It would be so easy - she was so close to it...
...But that would mean she would lose the challenge. After so long, nearing the point of begging someone to just accept one with her... she would lose. Show that she had lost some of her sharp edges as the pack leader. As unserious as the contest was, it would be a humiliation after all this time.
And as the alpha of Hololive, she would not accept that.
Her hands clenched, pure spite and determination clearing her head of such weak, traitorous thoughts as surrender. Gritting her teeth and fighting against the fire in her groin, she tried to force her words out amid growls and moans. “You... y-you...”
Gigi smiled smugly at her, seeming to believe she had won. “Yes.~” She swirled her fingers around the knot, a pressure trying to build-
-which was as far as she got before Sora fixed her with a resolved stare, her voice powerful. “You are going to stop.”
The command was punctuated by a flare of pheromones from her, her tayaki scent practically sticking into her own mouth as well. The potency was enough to make the gremlin’s breath hitch even before they fully hit her. Once they did, though... the hand on her member stopped moving, and the other one and the tail holding her down went slack. It was like her Kouhai’s brain had stopped functioning for that single moment.
It was all the time the star-idol needed to strike, breaking free and grabbing the EN member. Before either could blink, the shorter woman was on her lap, held close as her legs wrapped around her. She did not pin her to the mat, though... as that would only interfere with her ending this quickly.
To that end, she wrapped her hand around Gigi’s member, stroking it vigorously. Then, her other hand went around the back... and started to do the same with her tail. It was a bit of a gamble, hoping that the area worked as an erogenous zone as well. However, given what she knew about members like Okayu and Towa, she had high hopes.
She was rewarded by the gremlin’s tail straightening and going rigid, the eye on the end widening. (So it was real after all, then.) Her Kouhai’s normal eyes also blew open, a breathless gasp leaving her. She swore she could see her mind, barely recovering from the pheromone assault, was further stalled by her movements. She gasped, unable to form words at the twin assaults on her sensitive parts.
Sora laughed breathily, smirking wide at the poor woman. She leaned next to her head, whispering as she wrapped her full hand around the tail’s base. “Hm? Is something the matter, Gigi? You never did answer what you thought of my skills. Want to give one now?”
Gigi just gasped, struggling to put together two words as her body shuddered, unable to recover. “I- What- You- I- You-”
The star-idol giggled in her ear. “I’ll take that as ‘satisfactory.’” She hummed, moving her strokes along her Kouhai’s dick to focus around the tip. “You were right, I suppose. I am out of practice. I should have been able to counter you much sooner than that. I let you get so far with that. I’m definitely going to need to better my endurance.
“But... I didn’t become the pack leader by being lazy, I’ll have you know. I’m not some fresh-eyed runt looking to prove herself - I’m a woman with experience. And that includes undoing little brats like you.” She smiled, kissing the other’s earlobe as she increased her pace on both appendages. “And you’re so close to becoming undone, aren’t you sweety? You want to be so good for me and release all that pressure like a good girl, right?”
The gremlin was biting the inside of her cheek, her eyes screwed shut as she tried to shake her head. “N-no. I - ugh - I’m... Y-you’re...”
Sora could feel the struggle the shorter woman was going through. She was resisting moving her hips, hands clenched white at her sides. They seemed to be trying to loosen, though, as they tried to move up. Her tail was also bending, as if going to wrap around the human in a few seconds.
Needless to say, the star-idol was not going to allow that. Thus, with a teasing smirk, she lowered her head to her Kouhai’s neck. She blew a breath right where the scent glands were... then gave it a long lick. She slathered it up, going as far as to plant kisses there. (No biting, though - a challenge was not a place to claim someone.)
The effect was instant, with Gigi turning into putty at the assault on such a sensitive place. Her hands flailed along her Senpai’s back, trying to find purchase as she let out high-pitched moans. She started to buck into the hand jerking her off, member throbbing hard. Her tail spasmed, giving the human plenty of room to scratch at the base where it met her back.
She licked again at her neck, her voice sultry. “There you go. No more lying. You want release, don’t you? To be good for a strong alpha like me?~”
The gremlin gurgled, evidently struggling with words. She tried to open her mouth... but Sora rubbed around the tip of her dick and scratched hard at her tail base. Her eyes rolled back, a deep moan leaving her as she tried to thrust harder.
“Say it,” the star-idol ordered, voice leaving no room for argument. She started to lightly lift her fingers from her Kouhai’s member, tickling the underside of it. Her touch became more feather-like as she went from the expanding knot up the shaft, ready to pull away entirely.
As she brushed the head, however... Gigi broke. She whined, burying her face in her shoulder as she desperately thrusted, trying to chase the hand. Her voice was shrill and desperate. “Okay - okay! I give! You win! P-please, just let me cum! I-I can’t take it! I... I...”
Sora hummed as if considering it. Her index finger idly swirled around her Kouhai’s tip, while her other hand scratched around the tail base. She blew a breath on the other’s neck, her voice deceptively gentle. “...Who’s the stronger alpha, then?”
“...You,” the gremlin breathed out, voice thick with lust.
The star-idol chuckled lightly. “Good girl. Then in that case...” She let a pause hand in the air, coating her finger in more leaking fluids-
-before her whole hand wrapped around the member and jerked it, fast and without remorse. She scratched right where the tail came out, barking her command. “Cum, my little alpha!”
The moment she finished speaking, she went up and locked Gigi in a deep kiss, forcing her tongue down her throat. She watched as her eyes rolled back, only whites showing as she thrust wildly, chasing her release. Her hips became wild, her member twitching like crazy as her entire lower half shook-
-before screaming in her mouth as she reached her peak. White fluids shot from the shaft, spurting out with enough force to coat the top of her breasts. Further spurts hit the rest of her chest and stomach, sticky and hot against her skin. More kept coming for several seconds as she kept rubbing up and down, milking out as much as possible.
But eventually, after a last weak sputter, the gremlin untensed. Sora gradually slowed her movements, letting go and moving backward to give her Kouhai space. The shorter woman fell forward, breathing heavily as she supported herself with shaking arms. Drops of semen leaked out onto the mat as she panted, shivering from overstimulation.
Sora watched for a time, her alpha instincts filling her with immense pride over her victory. She smiled victoriously, looking down at herself and taking some of the white fluids covering her between her fingers. Curious, she licked them, though ended up grimacing a little. Like her pheromones, it was a bit too much like coffee for her taste buds, but more musky and salty.
Still... there was a deep satisfaction in tasting it. In coming out on top of this challenge. Her heart felt so full at being able to revel in such a victory again, all thanks to the woman before her.
And she knew just how to reward her... considering her own member was still hard from their earlier teasing.
Grinning, she scooted closer, maintaining her husky voice. “My, my. Look at how dirty you got me. And after so much time showering. But I’ll forgive you - it shows how much you loved that, doesn’t it?”
Gigi mewled, her pheromones submissive, though unlike with Suisei earlier, it felt earned. Giggling, the star-idol grasped the back of her Kouhai’s head, tugging enough to make her look up. She gave her a steely look, her tone once more commanding. “But you’re still going to make up for it. And you’ll do so by finishing what you started, little alpha.”
The gremlin looked confused for a second. When she pulled her head toward her shaft, however, recognition flashed in those eyes. Swallowing thickly, the EN girl nodded meekly at the unspoken instruction. Then, her mouth opened wide, she engulfed the JP member’s dick in it.
Despite how big it was and the woman’s size, she managed to fit most of it in. Sora felt her tip hit the back of the other’s throat, whose choked noises sent pleasant tingles down her shaft. The next second, her Kouhai started to suck, bobbing her head up and down as she licked all around the appendage.
The star-idol groaned in satisfaction, the heat in her gut returning with full force. She grabbed at her fellow alpha’s twin tails, pulling them forward and backward to control the pace better. “T-that’s it. Good girl. Don’t stop until you’ve made me cum. Understood?”
A grunt of acknowledgment came from Gigi, who started to hum around the member. She seemed to relish in the rough treatment, moaning and her tail wagging rapidly. Even as her eyes watered from difficulty breathing, gagging and spitting a little, she kept pushing on, trying to bring her to her peak.
Sora did a good job holding on, savoring the hot mouth and tongue around her dick. After another minute passed, though, she knew she would not last much longer. The previous teasing had left her so wound up, and that coil in her was so close to coming undone. The heat traveled up her shaft, barely able to keep her hips from thrusting.
Thighs pressing together, she closed her eyes, taking a deep breath as she forced her Kouhai to bob in short, quick bursts, mind blanking out. “T-take it all in! Swallow every last drop!” It was the last command she could give as the warmth became unbearable. Before she knew it, she felt something traveling up her shaft, making her pull faster and faster-
And then she unloaded deep in her Kouhai’s throat. She threw her head back, giving a long moan as her climax whited out her mind. Her hips jerked, forcing more cum out as the other’s tongue kept moving, bordering on overstimulation. Even in the middle of her high, she marveled at the clear experience the gremlin had, swearing she had never felt such levels of pleasure before.
Soon, though, the star-idol senses returned. Breathing hard, she let go of the EN girl, falling back onto the mat propped up behind by her arms. Her Kouhai pulled back from her softening shaft, making her shiver as it popped out. She watched as the pink-eyed woman licked her lips, lapping up a little excess fluids that had spilled onto her lips and chin. God - with how much came out, I’m surprised with how well she handled it.
As they both started to catch their breaths, Sora shook her head, trying to clear some of the haze from it. She sent Gigi a tired smile, sitting up more properly. “You doing alright? I didn’t hurt you, did I?”
“Eh, Ceci is worse when she’s getting impatient,” the gremlin reassured. She laughed breathlessly, smiling back. “But... damn. I meant what I said about you humans being full of surprises, but... I think I underestimated you.” She shook her head. “I swear, you are way too unassuming.”
“I get that a lot,” the star-idol responded, both of them breaking out into giggles. Sighing, she then scooted closer to her Kouhai, taking a nice breath of her calmed pheromones. She smiled warmly, nodding to her. “But seriously... thank you for that. I... I’ve missed being challenged like that. Everyone is just so scared of me these days, though...”
Gigi’s eyes softened, her smile becoming more caring. “It was my absolute honor, Sora-Senpai. I’m always happy to help with people’s problems.” She snickered. “Getting to bang with the first idol of Hololive was a nice bonus on top of that, though!”
Rolling her eyes, Sora reached out and pulled her into a hug, sighing deeply. “Well, still - thank you so much. This was... quite the treat for me, too.” She sighed, nuzzling the top of her head. “But... no need to be that formal. I’m a friend, aren’t I?”
Her Kouhai sighed as well, wrapping her arms around her. “Fair enough.”
They remained sitting on the mat like that for a while after this, embracing one another. The gremlin leaned into her, humming contently as she gave more submissive pheromones. It made her giggle, curling her fingers through her hair. This was not at all how she expected her day to go, but... it was nice, she found. Her heart was filled with affection for the smaller girl - not love, but still a deep appreciation for her. This contest of dominance had given her a new understanding of her that only two alphas could get... and it made her protective over her.
It was so good to have someone willing to give her that push she had yearned for...
The moment was broken by Gigi speaking up against her. “Not to complain, but you do realize you’re getting my cum all over me, right?”
The star-idol chuckled. “You’re the one who got it all over me to begin with. I have to freshen up again thanks to you.”
The gremlin looked up at her, smiling cheekily with a glint in her eyes. “Are you going to need any help with that?”
Realistically, no. However, she smirked at her Kouhai, having an idea of what she wanted. “Is this an excuse to have a round two?”
“It could be,~” Gigi answered vaguely, tail swishing slowly behind her. “Perhaps more in the coming days, too, if you have time? Just to see if this contest was a fluke. Not that I care about my domination and submission scores being even now, but... everyone gets lucky, you know?”
Sora hummed, shrugging her shoulders. “I suppose I’m not against it. But I expect a few challenges that are not related to sex as well if you’re going to keep visiting me while you’re here. I have other areas I need to strengthen up in again.”
“Deal!” the gremlin agreed, shaking her hand vigorously. “Spending time with any of my JP Senpais more sounds amazing!”
The star-idol laughed at her enthusiasm, feeling like she was in for a good time. She pulled her into another hug... but decided to make one last point. “But just so we’re clear about the sex...”
She paused... then sent out some sharp pheromones, speaking sultry. “My victory was not a fluke... and you are going to be very good practice for me, my good little alpha.~”
Feeling the other’s dick harden again and poke her at the words, she thinks they both knew how true her words were, which made her more excited to get back to the shower to “clean.” The real fun was in proving that dominance she had, after all. Something she hoped she would be able to do with her other friends again one day... though perhaps not all this kind of contest.
But still... Sora was not opposed to arranging more of these sessions with Gigi in the future if Justice was willing to share...
