Chapter 1: between us
...
After meeting with her mother and sister, Maho took her seat next to Erika, who put the truck in gear and started moving. As much as she wanted to win, Erika wanted to show civility and grace. She was upset, yes, but she didn't want to be a sore loser about it. As the truck moved along, Erika felt Maho putting her hand on hers.
After seeing what Shiho had went through over the last week or so, Maho decided it wasn't the best time to let her know about something she had kept under wraps. In similar fashion to her younger sister, Maho had taken a girlfriend. The both of them asked their teammates to not let it out about their relationship, so it wouldn't reach Shiho.
...
The day now done, all of the tanks were loaded on the Kuromorimine carrier, Maho and Erika sat together in their hotel room. Because of the numbers Kuromorimine students, they would often be put two or three to a room. After they cleaned up for the day, they sat at their table and sipped on hot chocolate. "So, do you think your mom will be okay when she hears about us?" Erika asked, fixing her eyes on Maho.
"I hope so." Maho started, sipping her chocolate. "With how she turned around for Miho, I think she'll be okay with us. We've been together for years, and I'm really surprised she hasn't figured it out yet."
"When do you think we could let her know?"
Maho finished her chocolate. "Soon enough. I was essentially the favorite between us, and she never questioned anything I did. We've just got to wait for the right time."
After both finishing their drinks, they put their mugs into the sink and got into bed. Because of their relationship, they slept in the same bed. Once under the covers, Erika laid on top of Maho, who closed her eyes and waited for the kiss she was about to get. Erika wasted no time and put her lips to Maho's. Feeling adventurous, Erika slipped her right hand along Maho's belly and under her night shorts. Also feeling like she could use the intimacy, Maho let it happen.
...
Maho woke up early and started a pot of coffee for them. The smell of the brewing coffee brought Erika out of her slumber. Once it was ready, they poured some for themselves and stepped out to lean against the railing to watch the sunrise. Maho put her arm around Erika and gave her a kiss on the cheek. "What am I gonna do with you?" Maho asked with a smile.
"You could return the favor from last night." Erika replied, also smiling.
"I plan to."
"That aside, what do we do now? That's twice in a row we've lost."
Maho looked out over the horizon as she pondered her answer. "I think the fact that we held the title for as long as we did will help us a little. We'll need to pick it back up, but I think we're okay for now."
"I guess you're right. As long as we've got each other, I'll be fine either way."
The Maus crew walked by and stopped to say hello. "You two had fun last night, huh?" The commander quipped.
"Oh yes we did." Maho said with an 'as a matter of fact' tone.
"But that's forbidden love." The gunner added, putting her hands on her face in a similar fashion to an internet meme.
Everyone shared a quick laugh, since everyone was aware of the things they did. "We're going to the lobby for the breakfast. You ladies interested?" The commander asked.
"Sounds good to me. Let's get dressed proper and head down there."
