"This is stupid," Mary sighs, as she wraps her arms tighter around her small frame to block out the cold winter air. "Remind me why we're doing this again?" she asks with clenched teeth, the wind cutting through both of the girl's school uniforms harshly.
Kurumi seems to be unbothered by it all, only offering Mary a cheeky grin at her miserable attitude, her rosy cheeks the only telling sign that she is just as cold as Mary herself.
"Isn't it obvious, Saotome? The thrill of a dare is sort of fun! Who woulda thought a girl as quiet as Togakushi would come up with such a cruel dare for us?" she wonders with a soft click of her tongue that lacks any real disappointment. "But hey," she holds up a finger as her lips quirk up teasingly. "At least it's only a dare and not a gamble, hm? Then we'd be freezing cold and broke," she laughs. Laughs.
Mary scoffs, rolling her eyes in irritation. "Yeah, whatever," she mutters uselessly.
"Awe don't look so down, Saotome," Kurumi sighs as snowflakes fall from the sky around them, landing on Kurumi's lashes and perfectly pink hair prettily. "This freezing temperature just makes the hot bath afterwards that much more pleasurable," she smirks.
The two girls sit perched together on a snowy bench in the courtyard of the private academy. The blanket of snow around them is almost blinding with how brightly it glows under the afternoon sky. Their skirts are cold and wet from the snow that once covered the bench beneath them, which they'd uselessly tried to wipe off before taking their seats. Togakushi Yukimi probably watches them from the window of the literary club somewhere far off to make sure they complete their dare, and the thought makes Mary frown indignantly, clicking her tongue out of pure annoyance. Though she can't deny that a steaming bath does sound heavenly to her right now.
"Fine," Mary concedes. "But if I get sick from this , you owe me."
Kurumi just laughs at Mary's pitiful appearance. The blonde girl's teeth chatter as her body shakes from the freezing cold air the whips around them. It was Kurumi's fault that they even got into this mess in the first place, she supposes—not that she cares when her reward is just a few more minutes away.
"Hmm, alright! We've got a deal, Saotome," she says with an amused smile, holding out her pinky finger to lock with Mary's. The blonde girl begrudgingly complies.
The two of them sit together silently as the minutes tick by, waiting for the timer Togakushi had set for them to finally go off. The freezing air seeps into Mary's body as her cheeks remain flushed pink. She sniffles, her lips curling downwards as the cold becomes more and more unbearable. A quick glance towards Kurumi shows that the pink-haired girl is somehow faring much better than Mary. Envy rushes through her as she scoffs at the sight of the unbothered smirk on Kurumi's face. Of course.
Mary knew, she knew this would be troublesome. She just knows Mibuomi had something to do with this. Togakushi was probably indebted to him and this is how she pays him back. It's just like him to try and get under Mary's skin. And Togakushi… that traitor. If they lose the challenge then Aoi Mibuomi will never let them live it down—and worse—they'll probably have to scrub the entire room for the full-bloom club while Mibuomi watches. Her stomach churns at the thought of what that might entail. He'd probably dress them in maid outfits and make them scrub his shoes too, she thinks with a repulsed expression.
The wind picks up and it's all Mary can do to shove her hands under her thighs, a shiver running down her spine as she squeezes her eyes shut tightly against the wind. "I… I can't—" she begins to say, gritting her teeth as she tries to get the words out. She's giving in. She can't take any more of this…
She's saved by the blaring sound of the alarm going off from Kurumi's phone.
"Oh, look at that! Guess this means we finished our dare fair and square, huh? Great job, Saotome!" she sighs as she wraps an arm around Mary's shoulder, pulling her into a side hug.
Mary doesn't know if she should feel relieved or enraged.
A text notification comes next. It's a quick message from Togakushi letting the two girls know that they succeeded and are free to go. Thank god.
Mary pushes away and stands up with an irritated huff. "Finally. I'm never agreeing to one of these stupid dares again," she says, crossing her arms.
A mischievous look slips over Kurumi's face. "Leaving so soon, Saotome? That's a bummer," Kurumi pouts jokingly. "Don't you want the prize that's waiting for us?" she asks with a slight tilt of her head, as she crosses her arms.
Mary skeptically considers Kurumi's words as the pink-haired girl stands up, her loafers crunching over the snow beneath them. She holds out a hand towards Mary, who tentatively takes it with a frown. As Kurumi begins to guide them back indoors, Mary stumbles behind, her legs still unsteady from the freezing cold.
Kurumi leads them through the deserted corridors of Hyakkaou Private Academy.
"I had Hanatemari prepare a nice and warm bath for us in one of the bathhouses. It's just down this way," Kurumi explains as she drags Mary along behind her.
A strange feeling blossoms in Mary's stomach at the idea. Bathing with others was normal in a bathhouse, but just with Kurumi? She can't help but suddenly feel nervous at the thought. Mary can get insecure about herself when it comes to more intimate things, but she's always managed to push that aside in group settings. One on one, and with a girl like Kurumi… Things feel different this time.
Kurumi pushes open the door to the bathhouse effortlessly, and the warm and humid air immediately has both of the girls sighing in anticipation. It's so much nicer feeling against their skin then the winter chill had been, and the relief is almost instantaneous. A freshly lit incense fills the room with it's lovely aroma, and mixes perfectly with the flower petals that swim around the onsen water. The water is steaming and Mary has the sudden urge to hop into the onsen and never leave. It smells amazing and looks amazing, she's sure it'll feel just the same.
"I had this room prepared for only us. It's a private bath we can share together after that horrible dare," Kurumi winks as she shamelessly begins removing her uniform.
Mary watches her from the corner of her eye as she slowly begins to unbutton her own red blazer. She feels uneasy taking her clothes off in front of just one other person, but watching Kurumi strip down until she's bare, her perfect body practically glowing under the overhead lighting, helps make Mary move a little faster. She sets aside her brown loafers and slips off her stockings until her bare feet press against the floor. The ground is warm due to the hot air that fills the room—a welcome relief for the two girls.
Kurumi has no shame as she catches Mary glancing at her. She simply smiles and turns her back so that she can dip her foot into the steamy bath. Mary grits her teeth and refuses to let her eyes look anywhere lower than Kurumi's shoulders.
The water just barely covers Kurumi's thighs as she steps fully into the bath, she sighs at the warmth and then takes a seat with her back against one of the warm walls of the onsen.
She looks to where Mary's still standing alone outside of the water, in nothing but her skirt and panties, her arms crossed to cover her bare chest.
"Aren't you going to hop in, Saotome? This bath's so much nicer than the freezing snow!" Kurumi exclaims as she closes her eyes and lays her head back, sighing contently at the warmth around her.
Kurumi hears the shuffling of Mary's feet and peeks an eye open playfully, a smirk rested on her lips. Mary drops her hands from around her chest and leans over to wiggle out of her uniform skirt. She takes a deep breath in and then slides her panties down past her thighs until they fall in a heap on the floor. She steps out of her clothes pile and feels her skin flush hotly when Kurumi offers Mary her hand.
"C'mon, Saotome, you're missing out~" she chides as she helps Mary into the bath with her. Mary situates herself against the wall beside Kurumi and sighs at the feeling of the hot water against her skin. It feels heavenly. She realizes she hasn't stopped holding Kurumi's hand and quickly lets go, her ears and chest flushing pink from her embarrassment.
There eyes meet and a jolt of something shoots through Mary's body. She presses her thighs together to make the ache that's suddenly building up go away as she looks towards the petals floating on the water instead of Kurumi. She can't face her when she feels so… weird.
"Y'know… You don't look as relieved as I was expecting," Kurumi says as she tilts her head, a finger pressed to her chin as she contemplates the situation. "There is something else we could do to make sure you feel better from the cold. It'll warm you right on up too, that's for sure," she says, her voice suddenly sultry and low as she lean closer into Mary's space.
Mary's heart races and she chokes on her own words. She's not stupid, she knows what Kurumi's insinuating… She just isn't sure that she can handle this. They're both girls! Her mind goes crazy with thoughts that suddenly take over her. Does Kurumi do this often? What does it feel like to touch another girl like that—or rather—to be touched like that.
"How so?" she mumbles through a frown on her lips as she plays along with Kurumi's little game. Kurumi smirks, her hand brushing a piece of Mary's hair away from her eyes. Mary swallows thickly as she looks beyond Kurumi instead of at her.
"Awe, don't stress about it babes, I'll show you," Kurumi says with a teasing smile as she intertwines their finger under the water.
Mary feels a warmth spread all throughout her body at the soft touches, and she can't help but want more.
The two girl's eyes finally lock, and with a playfully wink, Kurumi leans forward and captures Mary's lips against her own. Mary had been expecting a slow kiss, maybe something inexperienced and amateur, but what she hadn't thought was that Kurumi would be so demanding right away. The pink-haired girl gives Mary no time at all to think as she slides her tongue into Mary's mouth and pulls a surprised noise from Mary's throat. The blonde blushes, thankful they're too close for Kurumi to see, and squeezes her eyes shut as she tries to keep up with the deep, consuming kiss Kurumi presses into her lips.
Kurumi's hand slides up Mary's thigh under the water, sending sparks of pleasure straight to Mary's core. Mary wraps her own hand around Kurumi's neck as she pulls her closer, their tongues sliding together as Kurumi looms over her, her knee sliding between Mary's legs as their chests press together.
They finally break apart, both panting and flushed from the sudden pleasure rushing through their bodies. Kurumi's eyes search Mary's for any signs of hesitation, but Mary only stares back longingly, her desire for the other girl obvious as she drops her eyes down to Kurumi's chest with a dazed look in her eyes.
"Kurume, please," Mary begs as she tries to press her thighs together again, but Kurumi quickly stops her with a soft giggle as she drops her hand between Mary's thighs, gliding her fingers so gently over her clit.
"Don't have 'ta hide yourself from me, Saotome, let me help you."
Mary gasps, her legs jerking in either direction as she grips the edge of the onsen tightly between her fingers.
Kurumi pulls back almost immediately after to instead roam her hands over Mary's breasts, teasing her nipples until they harden up all prettily just for Kurumi. She laughs as Mary bites her lip to hold back her noises.
"Your body's so reactive to my touch up here," Kurumi says as she pinches one of Mary's nipples. The blonde girl yelps at the feeling, glaring at Kurumi unconvincingly. "I wonder if it'll be the same when I touch down here," she says with a curious hum as her finger glides all the way down Mary's body until she reaches her pretty cunt that's just begging to be touched.
She rubs against Mary's clit as the blonde girl cries out at the touch, her legs forced to stay open by Kurumi using her free hand to keep them in place. She watches Mary's face, mesmerized, as Mary moans at the feeling of her needy cunt being touched so sweetly. Kurumi teases her lower lips with dainty touches that are so feather-light Mary can only drop her mouth open and squeeze onto the onsen's sides harder.
"It seems your body's likes this too," Kurumi says confidently as she rolls Mary's clit between her fingers until Mary's hips are rutting up into her hand, begging for more friction or to let her go.
"M-more, Kurume, faster," she groans as her hips wiggle around in search of what she needs.
Kurumi bites her tongue playfully as she rubs three of her fingers faster and harder over Mary's cunt. Her breasts bounce at the motion and Kurumi can't look away. She giggles and leans forwards to capture Mary's lips back into another open-mouthed kiss.
Mary moans into the kiss, her legs shaking uncontrollably at the sensation throughout her body. Her mouth hangs open as her brows furrow, eyes watery and wide, as her high-pitched moans fill the air around them.
"Awe look at you. How's this feel for 'ya, Hun?" Kurumi asks as she moves her fingers down, sliding two of them inside Mary's cunt as the blonde-haired girl sighs pleasantly.
Kurumi uses her free hand to play with her own clit while the palm of her hand that's fingering Mary open continuously taps against Mary's clit in a tantalizing rhythm. The two girls moan and whine into the private room as they get closer and closer to finishing together.
Kurumi rubs at her clit faster, tapping against it ever now and again as she groans at the ache the motion causes. She curls her fingers inside of Mary just right, and the blonde girl cries out for her deliciously.
"Almost there… I-I'm almost… almost there," Mary breathes as she bucks her hips up to meet against Kurumi's experienced hand.
Kurumi thrusts her fingers inside of Mary faster, her hips bouncing up and down against her own fingers that are playing with her clit teasingly.
She pulls her fingers out from Mary's pussy and pinches at her clit harshly, causing Mary's hips to jerk up until she throws her head back and cries out loudly, her orgasm washing over her in pleasurable waves.
Watching the blonde lose her composure has Kurumi's own orgasm reaching its peak. She removes her hand from Mary and rubs at her own breasts as her hips bounce along with her fingers rubbing at her clit, broken up moans spilling past her lips as she smiles through her orgasm.
The room is silent as the two girls come down from their highs. They lay in the warm water, exhausted and sated. Kurumi rests her hand on Mary's thigh beneath the water to help ground her as she waits for Mary to compose herself.
"I guess I didn't… realize it could feel like that," Mary finally manages to mumble as her chest rises and falls heavily.
"I know, right? It's always much more fun together if you ask me." Kurumi stretches her arms above her head with a self-assured smile. "Girls are way better than any of those creepy guys," she says with a playfully disgusted face as she squeezes Mary's thigh gently.
Mary never thought about it until now, but she doesn't exactly disagree. She rolls her eyes at Kurumi nonetheless as a soft, secretly delighted smile slips onto her lips.
"Yeah, yeah, if you say so," she sighs as she leans closer to Kurumi, closing her eyes as she rests her head against the other girl's shoulder.
The snow continues to fall outside, the sky darkening and the air turning colder. But here in each other's embrace, surrounded by the sweet aroma of incense and flower petals, and the comforting steam of an onsen, Kurumi and Mary couldn't be any warmer.
