Shatter
Chapter 25
Setsuna awoke slowly, groaning quietly as she stretched her arms high above her head. Nearly every muscle in her body was sore, from her thighs and calves, to her abs and even her neck. A sly smirk crossed her face as she brought her arms back under the blanket. Sex sore was such a good kind of sore...
The movement of Setsuna and the blankets brought a sleeping red-head out of her slumber, the beautiful girl inhaling deeply, then sighing before opening her eyes. Head resting on Setsuna's shoulder, she tilted her head up until she could meet Setsuna's gaze.
"You're so beautiful, Setsuna." She whispered, stretching out to place her lips gently on Setsuna's throat. Kissing her softly, she let her lips linger there for a moment, before giggling as she licked her throat, her hot tongue leaving a moist trail of saliva across Setsuna's pale skin.
"Aww gross, you loser!" Setsuna teased, not bothering to wipe it away. Asuna rolled her eyes, then sat up on one elbow as she leaned down to plant small kisses on Setsuna's body. She slowly trailed down her stomach, then stopped, her hand on Setsuna's hip and her fingers tantalizingly close to the inside of her thigh.
"You wanna go again?" Asuna asked, fingertips tracing a teasing path across her sensitive skin.
Setsuna's hips twitched, but she shook her head. "I can't, I'm drained. We went all weekend. I'm so sore!"
"A good sore though, right babe?" Asuna asked, long hair falling over her shoulders and hiding her face as she once again leaned down, this time much closer to Setsuna's crotch, and began lavishing her with more kisses.
"Mmmn, the best kind..." Setsuna hummed softly, closing her eyes. There was silence for a few moments, then Asuna giggled.
"What?" Setsuna asked quietly, trying vainly to go back to sleep.
"Nothing...you're just...perfect." She breathed, lips falling once again on Setsuna's snow white smooth skin.
Slightly unnerved by the compliment, she struggled for a response. Finding none, she opened her mouth to simply deny it, and was thankfully saved by her phone ringing.
Groaning, she sat up, propping herself up on her elbow and picking up her phone. Glancing at the screen, she saw it was Konoka. Probably wondering if she was coming to visit today...
Setsuna answered on the fourth ring. "Hello?"
"Hi Setsuna, it's Konoka. How are you?"
Setsuna let herself fall back onto the pillows, and sighed. "Not bad, yourself?"
"I'm okay. Did I wake you?" She asked.
"Mnn-Nnn." Setsuna made a noise in her throat to the negative. "I was already awake."
"Oh, okay. Good. What are you doing?"
Setsuna tried to ignore the feel of Asuna's wet tongue lapping slowly and teasingly between her legs.
"Uhhn...Nothing. Just laying in bed." She tried to squeeze her legs closed, but Asuna giggled and held them apart. Although truth be told, Setsuna didn't try that hard to get away from Asuna.
"Oh. Are you gonna come see me today?"
Setsuna was silent for a second as Asuna began kissing her way back up her body, a smirk on her face as she placed a hand on Setsuna's breast, massaging and squeezing it as she placed her lips on Setsuna's throat.
"Get off the phone and pay attention to me." Asuna whispered, her other hand slipping down between Setsuna's legs.
Setsuna pressed the phone closer to her ear, hoping Konoka hadn't heard that.
"Yeah, I think I can come see you." Setsuna said, wincing as Asuna nipped her throat in displeasure.
"Stay with me just one more night." Asuna whispered.
"I-Is there someone there with you?" Konoka asked. Asuna, who could hear Konoka through the phone in the silence of the room, giggled.
"Did someone just giggle? Is Asuna in bed with you?" Konoka asked, her voice timid.
"N-No. Must've been my T.V." Setsuna said. "I just turned it on."
Suddenly, a moan escaped her before she could stifle it as Asuna plunged two fingers deep inside her, and she coughed to cover it up before sending Asuna a dirty look.
"Anyway, I'll see you some time today, okay Konoka?"
"Yeah...sure...bye."
There was a click, then the phone went dead. Setsuna pulled it away from her ear, and her phone, sensing the motion, lit the screen up to show 'Call Ended' in bright white letters.
Pressing the lock button, she tossed it onto the table.
"You're a jerk sometimes, Asuna." Setsuna said.
"I'm the jerk? You just lied to that poor girl! At least I'm honest. I'm completely in love with you and there isn't anyone in this world I won't tell that to with pride in my voice."
"Yeah, well...I don't want to hurt her feelings."
"Then why are you? You know she saw right through your pathetic lie, right?"
"Yeah, thanks to you."
Asuna smiled happily. "It wouldn't mean very much if I didn't fight to keep you."
Setsuna sighed. "I still wonder how I got myself into this mess."
Asuna shrugged. "I'm going to pretend that wasn't incredibly insulting."
Setsuna glanced sideways at her. "Sorry. You know I didn't mean it like that."
"Whatever. Wanna shower and go get breakfast?"
Setsuna smiled as her stomach rumbled. "Sure. I'll buy."

Konoka slowly set her phone down, and Asakura looked at her curiously.
"Everything go alright?" She asked. "You didn't sound too happy at the end, there."
"I think...Setsuna was with someone else. That Asuna friend of hers."
"Oh." Asakura was silent for a moment. "Are you sure? What happened?"
"I just heard someone giggling in the background, it sounded like there was someone there. Setsuna denied it, but it was so obvious that she was lying..."
Asakura was silent for a moment, running her hand through her spiky red hair. Then, she sighed, mind running with a thousand thoughts.
"I'm sorry Konoka. It was my idea for you to call her, if I didn't say anything..."
Konoka shook her head. Reaching up, she brushed her long chocolate hair out of her face, and when she met Asakura's gaze, it was hard and sharp.
"No. It's fine. This isn't the end of the world. I kind of knew Setsuna had a thing with her. She never spoke much of her, but it was obvious that it was something. Otherwise it wouldn't have been such a touchy subject the few times I brought it up."
"There it is..." Asakura breathed softly, the ghost of a smile pulling at the corners of her lips.
Konoka raised an eyebrow, clearly confused. "There's what?" She asked.
Asakura jumped up, grabbing Konoka's hands and pulling her to her feet.
"There it is! The fire in your eyes!" She exclaimed. "I've finally seen you really want something for the first time ever since I've known you!" Asakura hugged her tightly, laughing.
"Asaku-"
"I'm happy for you! This is great!" Asakura said, causing Konoka's face to redden.
"I-I..."
Asakura giggled at her embarrassment and sat down, pulling Konoka with her. Now, she released her hands, and began talking animatedly.
"How are you going to break Asuna's hold on Setsuna?" She asked. Before Konoka could speak, she waved her off. "More importantly, how can you? Clearly she's giving Setsuna some very satisfying sex, an area where you unfortunately lack expertise. What kind of shot do you think you have?"
"I'm-"
"Ooh, you could-"
"ASAKURA!"
Asakura was cut off by a heavily blushing Konoka, as she waved her hands in front of her face.
"N-none of that! I don't know what I'm going to do. Maybe I won't do anything at all. I don't know yet!"
"What? Why not?"
"I...just...if she's happy with Asuna...who am I to try to break that up?"
"If she was truly happy with her, she wouldn't have kissed you. You know? She doesn't seem to be the type of girl to mess around. At least, not with her emotionally and mentally fragile charge."
"Maybe..."
"No maybe about it. Go get her, girl! If she is what you want, you chase her until you get her."
"Yeah..." There was a shadow of doubt that briefly flashed across her face, before it was replaced with a look of determination. "Yeah! Setsuna is a really nice person. And really pretty. I want her!"
Asakura smiled, happy for her friend even as she realized that her chances with her were diminishing faster than she could imagine. The sharp, analytical part of her mind quickly calculated just how easy it would be to play the other side of rationality and paint Setsuna in a bad light, coaxing and gently guiding Konoka's thoughts and feelings until the girl was hopefully infatuated with her. However, just the thought of doing that for her own selfish gain wracked her with such guilt that she quickly abandoned the idea. She had often entertained the idea of herself and Konoka hooking up, but unfortunately, it just didn't seem like it was meant to be.
"I'm...happy for you Konoka. I hope everything works out, yeah?"
Konoka smiled, and threw her arms around Asakura's neck.
"I do too. Thanks for getting me to call her. And boosting my confidence. You're the best, Asakura!"
Asakura laughed weakly, once again running her fingers through her hair.
"Yep, that's me..."
