You will either love me, or hate me...
But...
SHOWER SCENE!
Have I rated this a T yet? *grin*
Perfectly Experienced
"So, now what do we do?"
Bixlow was sitting quite rigid on their bench, a little uncomfortable being so close to Lisanna.
They really where quite close. Their shoulders where almost touching. Mirajane really had no subtlety in what she was trying to achieve.
He had his hands on his lap and his legs closed together.
Lisanna on the other hand was hanging seemingly comfortable back and let her head hang a little backwards too, as if she was studying the ceiling.
She looked so comfortable, that it left Bickslow wondering if he was the only one who was noticing/bothered by the close proximity.
Lisanna had noticed their situation, but decided to act as if nothing was wrong. She would not let her sister win this game for her. She was going to do it herself. On her own pace. So she chose to act natural, but a little grateful for the helmet hiding her blush quite well.
"Donno, got any plans?"
She turned her head towards Bix to catch his eye. But he was just staring in front of him.
"Or is it a secret?" She chuckled, rolling out her tongue.
Bixlow widened his eyes and stood up quickly. "You DID hear that!" He gasped accusingly. Was she imagining things? Or was he blushing? He was right about one thing though. Teasing a girl is fun.
It was Lisanna's turn to raise her eyebrows as she put a hand in front of her face to look away. "Oh god."
Bixlow seemed confused at that comment. "Well I'm sorry, but I had to think fast! What was I supposed to say?"
Lisanna waved her hand. "No, it's not about that. Your answer to Mira-nee was all right. You can't tell her anything without making her think about matchmaking."
Bixlow seemed relieved, but he wondered.
"Then why did you say, 'Oh god?'"
"It's-… No, it's nothing." She was still looking away a little flustered.
Bixlow examined her. She looked uncomfortable all of a sudden.
She was still hanging back in the bench, one arm on the back of it and the other hanging next to her. It was subtle, but something was telling him she wasn't in a teasing mood anymore.
"Oi, what happened?" he asked her as he sat down again.
"Nothing I-"She sighed as she kept her face turned away from him.
"I just thought: Teasing a girl is fun." She quietly said.
Bixlow almost didn't even hear it. But he did, and it made him laugh.
So hard even, that he had to hold on to his stomach.
"Hey! Don't laugh! This whole thing is confusing me okay?!" She was now blushing more fiercely and turned towards Bixlow annoyed.
Bickslow on turn hit her on the shoulder teasingly with his fist. "You crack me up you know." He chuckled.
The action however, made them both freeze.
Bickslow doesn't hit girls, not friends at least, not even teasingly, and they both knew that.
Lisanna grinned.
"Looks like I'm not the only confused one." She added as Bix put a hand in front of his mouth, about to apologize.
"Sorry, this is getting ridiculous." He crossed his arms.
Silence fell again. But Bix was the first to break it.
"By the way!" He asked, turning to her again. "How did it go with Levy?"
"Oh! Right!" She answered, also turning to him.
"We found the creature thanks to Levy's amazing stacking skills in the library. It wasn't hard at all."
"Really?" he asked her. He had gone into the library before. It seemed cleaner than ever, but other than alphabetically ordered, he didn't really notice anything special about it.
"Yes, it's called a Tamabito, a soul stealer. Apparently we got lucky it didn't steal ours."
"Oh, sounds dangerous, no wonder it was such a high bounty." Bix nodded to himself.
"Yeah, but normally it's harmless, it only steals souls in self-defense, to be able to run away, or teleport. It doesn't even attack anyone first, it just runs."
"What? It can teleport? How cool is that!" He turned to her fully. "Wait. Run away? So you mean it's still alive?"
"Probably." Lisanna sighed. "It's always on the run, so no one knows if there is only one of it, or more, there hasn't been a sighting of 2. So they think he's the only one of his kind."
"Okay, now I'm impressed." He smiled. "But", his smile faded.
"You're wondering how we ended up switched." It was Lis's turn to smile.
Bickslow simply nodded. Though seeing her lit up face made him feel a little better.
"It would seem it's only temporarily. We only got hit by its teleportation blast so instead of stealing our souls, it just switched them."
Bickslow nodded he understood.
"So, how long are we talking about?"
"It depends, it could take hours, it could take days, it all varies on the people involved."
"DAYS?!" He yelled out.
Lisanna put up both her hands to silence him. "Shhhh, not so loud!"
They looked around, but no one seemed to be listening to their conversation. Good thing the guild was so noisy nowadays.
"I don't think I can handle days in this body." He rubbed his temples.
"What's wrong with my body?"
Bickslow looked up again in panic. Lisanna had crossed her arms and was looking rather angry.
"What? No!" He waved both his hands in front of him. "I didn't mean it like that. Your body is perfect!"
Silence, though Lisanna's anger seemed to be taking place by amusement.
"No wait! I mean, it's pretty!"
A small smile appeared on her face.
Bickslow face palmed to hide his blush. "I meant that there is nothing wrong with your body, it's just that I like women but I just never fancied being one."
Lisanna chuckled. "Don't worry, I was just teasing. I know what you mean." She smiled at him warmly.
"But there is a way to fasten the process though. But I'm not sure what it means" She added, not looking at him anymore.
His silence urged her to continue.
"One must understand the other's body perfectly and experience."
Bickslow blinked and there was a silence between them while they let the words sink in.
"Don't tell me I'm the only one that thinks it sounds perverted..." He added with a raised eyebrow and a hand on his chin.
Lisanna chuckled and blushed a little.
"Nope, you should have seen Levy's face when she read that out loud."
They both started laughing at the thought.
As their laughter faded, a question still remained.
"Do you think it means the perverted way?" Bickslow asked, looking completely serious.
Lisanna's just turned away silently.
"Don't worry, I'm not planning on trying anything." He assured her.
"Looks like we are just going to have to wait it out, huh?" Bix sat back down again fully on the bench. A little more relaxed this time.
A loud yell interrupted Lisanna before she could ask him about that last comment.
They turned towards the origin of the sound only a second too late. Lisanna even still tried to catch the tray Juvia dropped but she only made is worse as she had forgotten how big her hands were now.
She caught the tray, but it tumbled sideways and the bowl of soup and some sandwiches landed on Bickslow's head and lap. He was suddenly soaked from head to toe and smelling deliciously like tomato soup.
Juvia barely got to apologize as he quickly stood up as the substance was hot and yelled a high pitched scream of pain.
Lisanna was staring eyes wide at the whole scene as she tried to take in what had just happened.
She followed Bixlow with her eyes as he hopped around the guild yelling: "Hot! Hot! Hot! Hot! So very-!"
But he didn't get to say that last word, for Juvia had found the solution as she transformed her body into cold water and hugged him with a wave. She fazed trough him a second later.
Bixlow was simply standing there staring at nothing and blinking stupidly with his arms next to him, in a body that wasn't even his. Soaked to the bone and feeling rather shiverish all of a sudden by the change in temperature.
Juvia was all over him with apologies and questions about his wellbeing.
"I'm so sorry, I wasn't paying attention. Well, I was, but not at you obviously, Gray was just- I mean, that doesn't matter. I am so sorry, are you all right? Are you burned anywhere? I didn't think that-…"
She just kept going on and on but Bixlow wasn't even listening to her. He was just staring at Lisanna for help.
Lisanna however, was holding her laughter now. She had a hand in front of her mouth and tried to avoid his gaze so she could focus on keeping it together. It was safe to say, this wasn't working.
Bixlow now noticed Lisanna was in no mood to be helping him, he felt his emotions change.
First it was helplessness.
Then it turned to annoyance.
This turned to surprise and ended up in a sly grin. For he had concocted a plan that would make sure Lisanna would stop laughing rather quickly.
He turned to Juvia, who was still all over him and confused about his sudden change in emotions.
"It's all right Juvia." He assured her.
The blue haired girl sighed openly at this.
"I was in need of a shower anyway." He winked at her.
Lisanna froze on the spot. She was still turned away from the scene and had her hand in front of her mouth. But she was in no mood to keep on laughing.
She quickly turned to Bixlow, her eyes wide and stern.
Bixlow was staring straight into her eyes with a big grin.
Lisanna was thinking fast. It was true that he would need to wash out the smell and change clothes. But there was no way he was going to do that alone. She NEEDED to be there, to make sure he didn't do anything she wouldn't like.
Even though he had just assured her he wouldn't try anything. He was still a boy, and he was probably curious about the opposite sex too. Heck even she is curious about her current body, it was only natural.
But to openly declare he needed to shower, Meant there was no way she was going to able to join him without drawing suspicion. Not unless…
Her stern stare turned into a pleading one.
Bickslow felt his grin only grow wider and winked at her.
She was surprised at the wink and felt her eyes go wider still. He wouldn't…
"Looks like you'll be getting that secret promise after all, hm? Bickslow?" He stepped towards her and pulled her up still grinning broadly.
Lisanna was way too flabbergasted to function normally and simply allowed him to pull her up by her hands.
Bix was smiling broadly and took one of her hands in his own. He then turned around and dragged him around the guild towards a door. Lisanna could only allow him to drag her towards it as she knew where the door lead to. The public showers.
Her brain was working rapidly at the moment. She had concluded that the best course of action was to just follow Bickslow's lead in this as he seemed to have a plan. But just to be sure, she tried to keep the dumbfounded look on her face as soon as she made eye contact with her bigger sister.
There was concern on her face as she put down the tray she was holding on a nearby table.
Mira's eyed shifted towards the current resident of her body and a second later she was smiling.
Not knowing what Bix had done, but it seemed to have worked.
She noticed Mira's eyes had gone back to her and she smiled.
Lisanna smiled back awkwardly and turned back to Bickslow, who was finally at the door and opened it with ease. He stepped inside, pulled her in too and then let go of her hand. He then quickly closed the door and leaned against it.
Lisanna was simply staring in front of her with her back still turned to the door and Bickslow.
She was watching the room quietly.
She had been here a lot of times before.
Her eyes scammed the public showers that lead to the outdoor pool before her head turned the other way. There was the private shower that had a lock on it, it was mostly reserved for people who really wanted to shower instead of the quick wash before or after the pool.
A chuckle made her turn around.
Bickslow had the nerve to actually laugh right now.
Anger taking over, she crossed her arms and stared him down. "You think this is funny?"
Bickslow chuckled in his fist. He was still leaning against the door. "Hell yeah it is. Did you see their faces?"
He looked up to look at her face. "Oh loosen up. They won't really think we'll take a shower together. Your reputation won't allow that." He chuckled again as he pressed her chest with his finger.
He then walked passed her towards a big closet.
Lisanna uncrossed her arms and simply stared at him, drinking in the information.
"Besides, your goofy face just now erased all of their doubts about this being planned out, good call."
Now it was Lis's turn to smile. She then thought of something else.
"I'm sorry I laughed at you. That must have hurt." She joined him near the closet.
"Nah, it's fine actually. Juvia flushed it all away before it had a chance to burn me much. Though it might still be a little sore tomorrow." They shared a pained grin while looking at each other.
"So, what are we looking for?" She asked him, as he continued to desecrate the closet.
"My spare swimming trunks, I knew I had another pair of-… AHA!" He pulled out a blue and white stripped swimming trunks and showed it to her. "Tadah!"
She rose an eyebrow. "Okay? Congratulations? What about it? It's not like you can wear it now."
He simply chuckled. "I'm not going to, you are. How else are you going to wash me?"
Her face turned bright red. "Wha? Wash y-… I don't…"
He wasn't even listening to her and simply shoved the trunks into her hands.
Lisanna was now thinking quickly as she took the trunks and watched him dive back into the closet.
It was true that he needed to shower, and there was no way in hell he was going to do this himself.
So naturally, she would indeed have to wash him…
"Oh, I see." She simply said as she lowered her arms and folded the trunks over her arm.
"Now what are you looking for?" She asked him again.
"Your spare swim clothing." He leaned back and stared at her. "But I can't find it."
"Oh, that's because it's in the laundry." She simply replied not really realizing the immediate problem.
Bickslow turned a little red. "That's a problem then." He put his hand on his chin thinking.
Lisanna had finally caught on and also thought of a solution.
"I could always just, not look." He offered.
"You could." She stared him down with one eyebrow raised. "But will you?"
Bickslow looked offended and crossed his arms. "Really now, after all of this, you really don't trust me?"
Lisanna looked thoughtful. "It's not that I don't trust you. But if your eyes are closed you might trip easily and there is no way you will not open them when you fall."
She turned towards the closet too and took out a small piece of cloth. "How about a blindfold?"
Bickslow stared at the small string. "I guess that could work."
Satisfied they both turned towards the private shower and stepped inside.
The room was pretty large. It had a big walk in shower, a bath that could easily be used for more than one and 2 sinks with one big mirror.
Different shapes of white towels where stacked neatly into shelves and the room was extraordinary clean.
"You know, I don't think I've ever used these before?" Bickslow examined the room with awe.
"I have, though mostly to take a bath with my sister." Lisanna casually put down the trunks near one of the sinks.
Bickslow was desperately trying to shake a mental image considering Lisanna and Mirajane that wasn't exactly pg 13. He was still a guy after all. He shook his head, took the swimming trunks from the sink and held it to her. "You first."
Lisanna turned to him and crossed her arms. "Why me?"
"Because I can't exactly help you change when I am blindfolded, now can I?" he chuckled.
Suddenly feeling very stupid Lisanna sighed. "Point taken."
She removed her shirt and gave it to him. He took it and folded it neatly onto an empty shelf nearby.
"You're not really wearing a lot are you?" she asked him as she had already stripped to a naked torso.
He simply shrugged. "I'm not a cold person, besides, clothes get ripped to shreds for some reason in this guilt quite easily. It would cost a fortune to buy new ones every time."
She had to agree with that one.
"Now, close your eyes please." He asked her.
She obeyed without complaint and closed her eyes. If felt really weird to be standing there but she knew nothing could go wrong. It was his body after all.
Bickslow on the other hand still felt a little awkward doing this, but it was his idea from the start so he might as well continue with it.
As Bickslow slowly took the hem of the pants pull it down, Lisanna retreated but didn't open her eyes.
"Your hands are cold!" she scoffed.
"Yes, well, so is the rest of your body, now stop moping, I want that shower." Bix huffed back.
Lisanna suddenly felt a little embarrassed stepped closer again with a sigh.
Quickly Bickslow continued to take of the pants, he noticed how she flexed her muscles every time he touched her skin by "accident".
"Now you are doing it on purpose." She rose an eyebrow.
"Lift your foot." He simply continued with a smile. She obeyed.
As soon as she was naked Bickslow couldn't help but look in the mirror for a second because something caught his eye.
"Okay, I've been in a few odd situations before but this one tips the cake." He chuckled.
"What is it?" She rose an eyebrow again.
"It's just weird to see us like this in a mirror. Should someone walk in here… Wait, you did lock the door, right?" He asked her urgently.
"Yes, now hurry it up. This feels weird." She tried to cross her arms but decided against it. The less she touched this skin herself, the less she would have the urge to open her eyes.
She heard Bickslow chuckle before she felt him continue.
"What is it now?" She had to ask.
"Nothing, It's just that it still looked like some sort of bad porn movie."
A huff escaped her. "You are weird."
"Seriously though." He had finally finished. "You can open your eyes now. Thank you for keeping your word."
She opened her eyes and stared at herself, then at him in the reflection of the mirror. "If I couldn't keep it, there is no way you would now, would you?" she crossed her arms.
"Point taken." He held out his hand. "My turn."
She gave him the blindfold and he put it on.
"There, satisfied?" He put his hands in his sides.
"One more thing." She stepped closer to him and put her hand on his eyes.
"What are you doing?" He asked her as he felt magic power rise around him.
"Trust me okay?" She breathed as she was clearly focusing on something.
He just stood quietly.
"You shall stay until I tell you too." She whispered and then let go of him.
"What happened?" he asked her again.
"Try and take of the blindfold." He heard her say.
Feeling a little skeptical, he did as he was told only to find out he couldn't. "Okay? When did you learn how do to that? And Why?" He crossed his arms as he felt a little offended at her that it was clear that she didn't trust him.
"Don't take it so personally. We are going to shower and if the cloth gets heavy due to the water, it's going to come off, I'm just taking precautions." She sighed.
He still rose and eyebrow but uncrossed his arms. "Fine then, I'm willing to buy that, but when did you learn this?"
"Levy thought all of the girls this spell. If in any case someone would want to rape us. We can attach our clothing to our body so they won't be able to." She proudly announced.
Now Bix was really surprised. "Okay, I'm not complaining about this. Way to go Levy." He smiled.
"I didn't know if it would work on another body though. Interesting to know." She chuckled.
"You could have told me though." He put his hands on his sides again.
"Sorry, but I didn't know if it would work." She simply shrugged. "Now let's get you cleaned up."
She swiftly undressed him even though on contrary to him, she had been wearing a lot.
The moment he released her bra, he let out a small sigh.
"Thank god. That thing was killing me." He flexed his shoulders a little.
A chuckle escaped her. "Now you finally know how we feel."
He decided it was best not to comment on that.
As soon as she had fully undressed him she also stared into the mirror.
"All right, I admit… It does look like a bad porn movie." She awkwardly stared at her own body blushing a little.
"See?! I told you!" he laughed.
"Let's just get this over with." She mumbled, knowing fully well she would not be able to shake this image next time she would feel like a little playtime for herself. Even worse. She felt like it would probably help her along. She wondered if Bickslow felt the same about this.
Shaking her head of such thoughts, she quickly took his hand and guided him towards the shower.
After putting on the water she held his hand under it.
"Feel free to step in when it's the right temperature." She told him.
Simply nodding, he stepped forth after a few second and sighed relieved. "This feels much better."
She saw him visibly relax as the water ran over his body.
Lisanna blushed at the view. She was being ridiculous.
"You okay?" He asked her. "You're awfully quiet."
She cleared her throat. "Yes, Yes. Uhm, I'll start with your hair."
As she stepped into the shower with him she quickly noticed that the big shower wasn't as big as she thought for the body she was in.
Squeezing inside she tried to reach for the bottle of shampoo behind him.
"Uh, Excuse me, I'll just..." She reached for the shelve that contained the washing products.
The sudden movement startled Bickslow. With being blindfolded he didn't expect her to be so close all of a sudden. He stepped backwards to try and let her pass but bumped with his back against the shower wall. The moan he elated at that moment surprised them both.
As he slapped his hand in front of his mouth Lisanna stopped her movement and froze in reaching for the shampoo to stare at him.
Blushing both, Bickslow broke the silence first. "Sorry, I don't know-… The wall was cold compared to-… I don't know how that came out…"
A chuckle escaped Lis and she finally took the shampoo. "It's all right I guess… It was just… surprisingly cute."
Bickslow looked outraged and put his hands in his side. "Cute?!"
"Well… yeah, I was." She simply replied as she filled her hand with liquid. "Now stand still."
Suddenly, Bickslow felt something run over his head and then felt her carefully massaging his scalp. It made him relax a little. He then thought of something and grinned.
"What?" he heard her say.
"Nothing, I'm just glad you finally realize you are cute." He chuckled.
He suddenly felt her massage his hair a little harder and a "humph".
After washing out the shampoo, she was adding different types of liquid on it. Wondering in silence how many products she was going to use, she interrupted his musings.
"Bix, can I ask you something?" She sounded a little concerned.
"Sure, what's up?"
"This is going to sound weird. But does being in someone else's body warp your views somehow?" She was cleaning out the leftover conditioner and combed his hair with her fingers.
"What do you mean?" He rose an eyebrow wondering where she was going with this.
She stopped combing his hair. "I mean… uh… when I look at myself in the mirror, I see all kinds of flaws on myself. Like my hips or my legs, even my upper arms seem so fat. But when I look at my body now…In your body… I keep thinking I'm… well… rather hot."
A small silence fell between them. Bickslow was simply to flabbergasted to reply to that quickly, until a chuckle escaped him.
"It's not funny." She huffed.
"It kind of is." He continued to grin. "Because I was thinking the same thing when I was undressing you."
"Really?" She asked hopeful.
"Perhaps it has something to do with how our bodies viewed each other before we switched?" He suggested thoughtfully.
"Perhaps…." She added while putting a hand on her chin.
"Wait… you think I'm hot?" She blushed as she realized that little detail he let slip.
"What?" He waved his hands in front of him with a blush. "No.. I mean… well.."
Silence again.
"Then you think I'm sexy." He was still blushing but he still managed a grin.
Lisanna blushed quite obviously and thankful for the blindfold she found her reply. "Or perhaps you are just a big narcissist." She bit back.
"Whatever you say, Lis." The chuckle he let out convinced her he didn't believe her comment.
Grumpy that he found her out she took a washing cloth and started watching his neck without warning.
The sudden movement startled him and he kept himself as rigid as possible. Careful not to let out any "inappropriate" sounds.
"Uhm, you know? Maybe we should let the water get all of the… uhm… sensitive areas… cuz I'm starting to feel a little… light headed." He coughed a little embarrassed.
Not really paying much attention she stopped her rubbing.
"Oh, uhm, right… that's not a bad idea." She started to blush herself.
"Wait… are you getting… turned on?" she gasped, her blush spreading wider.
"What? No! It's just… you are very thorough and… well… as I can't see… my other senses are taking over…" he was now blushing quite obviously too.
She chuckled. "All right then. I figured you're clean enough."
"You know… this whole thing is also making me rather light headed." She had to put her hand on her forehead.
Suddenly. Bickslow's knees gave out. Thankful to her reflexes she caught him in time, tough feeling his body pressing against her naked chest wasn't exactly doing her any good either.
"Lisanna." He chuckled. Thought his speech was getting rather slurred, as if he was drunk.
"Yeah?" She managed to get out, suddenly feeling rather tired.
"Is that a cucumber in your trunks? Or are you just happy…. To… see… me…" He snorted a little before he passed out in her arms.
The revelation didn't even shock her anymore as she felt weak and even though Bix's body was so small, the weight was enough to topple her forwards with a chuckle and the words.
"Just happy to see... you…"
Heh... sorry this took so long...
Anyone see THIS coming? Or what's going to happen next?
No worries. I aint going lemon on you guys
