A/N: This is a much shorter chapter than the last few chapters, but I think there's enough to satisfy you all!

Enjoy!


Chapter 8: Beach Bums

"I'm...I'm sorry," stammered Diana. She rubbed her elbows nervously. "I didn't mean to grab you...there."

"No, it's fine," Akko replied, quickly. "I know it was an accident. The important thing is...I didn't fall."

Mio watched as they turned away from each other. They were red in the face and looked very embarrassed. Diana had her arms around her stomach while Akko was quick to cover her chest.

"Oookay," she said, awkwardly. "How about we go back to an easier yoga pose?"

"Actually, I think we're done for now," rejected Diana.

"Yeah, we should head down to the beach," added Akko.

Akko quickly bowed down to Mio. "Thanks for teaching us yoga!" she said, frantically.

Diana bowed down to Mio too. "Yes, it was quite an experience," she added.

Before Mio had a chance to reply, the two witches grabbed their belongings and hastily made their way out of the hut. They were moving faster than they were when they left the gym. Mio was left all alone. She was completely stunned by their reaction. "I knew we should have moved onto Downward Facing Dog instead!" she said, berating herself.


Akko quickly picked up her heavy backpack and she and Diana made haste towards the beach.

Along the way, Akko and Diana continued to look away from each other. They were both very quiet, as they had very mixed feelings about what happened.

Akko looked down at her chest. She could still feel Diana's slender fingers pressed against her bosom. "I wonder," she thought, "Was that what it felt like when I grabbed hers?"

Meanwhile, Diana looked down at her hands. She was quite taken back by how soft Akko's chest felt in her hands. "I wonder," she thought, "Did mine feel that soft to her?"

The two looked each other in the eye…then quickly looked away, blushing.

"W-we should be at the beach soon," stammered Diana.

"G-great, I can't wait," Akko replied.


Soon, they reached Hadaka Beach. Akko's mouth (and bag) dropped upon seeing the bright, white sand and the sparkling blue ocean.

There were a lot of women scattered all throughout the shore. Some were sunbathing, others were splashing water at each other, and some were playing in the sand. And of course, they were all completely in the buff.

"Wow…" gasped Akko. "This is so cool!"

"It is lovely, isn't it?" replied Diana.

And just like that, both of them had suddenly forgotten about their mishap earlier.

"You really know how to pick'em!" praised Akko. "This has to be one of the best beaches I've ever seen! It's so…clean! And shiny!"

"Come," Diana said, adjusting the strap on her shoulder, "Let's go find a spot to put our stuff down."

"Alright! Let's go!"

And with that, Akko suddenly had the strength to lift her bag up with ease. She then took off running along the shore. "Wait up, Akko!" Diana shouted, chasing after her.


It took some time, but Akko and Diana managed to find a spot among the crowded beach to put down their towels. "Now it's time to have some summertime beach fun!" Akko cheered, happily.

She then picked up her oversized bag and flipped it over, dumping everything out. Diana was shocked to see so many things coming out of one bag. There were beach balls, a shovel and pail, an umbrella, an inflatable raft, and many other things.

"How did you manage to fit all of that into one bag?!" Diana asked, exasperated.

"Lots and lots of muscle," answered Akko, as she slammed her beach umbrella into the sand.

"...what muscle?" Diana said, taking note of Akko's lanky arms.

As Akko dug through her belongings, Diana couldn't help but notice something about all the stuff Akko brought. Or rather, what she didn't bring. "I see you neglected to bring the essentials, like sunscreen."

"I brought sunscreen!" replied Akko as she tossed aside a pair of extra sandals. "Uh...I think. I'm sure it's somewhere in here."

Akko looked through her bag and tossed aside a radio and a copy of nightfall, looking for her sunscreen.

"Nevermind," said Diana, handing Akko her bottle of sunscreen. "Just use mine."

"Oh...uh, thank you," Akko said, taking it in her hands.

Akko squirted some in her hands and began rubbing it all over her body. "Wow, I never realized how pale my skin was," Akko said, looking down at her stomach.

"Quite common for a first-timer," replied Diana. "Especially in the areas you'd normally cover by wearing a swimsuit, they would be rather ghostly."

"But then, why is your skin pale too?" Akko asked, looking at Diana's body. "I thought a nudist like you would have a more tanned body."

"Uh…well…" stammered Diana, "it's not like I come here that often. Just for the summers, remember? A-and I tend to avoid the sun anyway! My skin is very sensitive."

Diana grew nervous as Akko looked at her somewhat suspiciously. "I guess that makes sense," Akko said, suddenly grinning. She then went back to applying sunscreen, much to Diana's relief.

Afterward, Akko grabbed an inner tube and held it around her waist. "Okay, now it's time for some summertime beach fun!" she said, proudly.

"Hold on a moment," Diana said, stopping Akko in track. "You didn't put any on your back!"

"Oh! Yeah, you're right," Akko laughed nervously.

She sat back down and poured some more sunscreen into her hands. She reached her arm around to try and rub her back, but her arms weren't long enough. Diana watched as Akko futilely tried to reach down her back.

"Would you like some help?" Diana asked, snootily.

"No, I got it," Akko said.

But it was quite clear that she couldn't reach.

"Stop being stubborn," said Diana. "Here, I'll help you."

Diana poured sunscreen into her hands and began rubbing them all around Akko's back. She started at Akko's shoulders and then made her way down. "Hey, easy!" scolded Akko, as she felt Diana aggressively rubbing her skin.

"Sorry," she said, "just want to make sure you're well-covered."

Soon, Diana reached Akko's lower back. And it was here that it dawned on her how close she was getting to Akko's…lower backside.

Diana quickly shook her head. "Get a hold of yourself!" she thought, scolding herself.

Up until now, Diana paid little attention to Akko's backside. She hadn't been able to get a good look at it. And the times when she was able to, she wasn't paying attention.

But curiosity got the best of her, so she decided to take advantage of the situation.

"Akko, could you lie on your stomach for a moment?" Diana asked. "It's easier to cover your back when you're lying down."

"Um, okay?" Akko asked, suspiciously.

Akko did as she was told. She lied on her stomach, giving Diana an unobstructed view of her rear end.

It certainly was not especially large. Much like the rest of Akko's body, her buttocks were quite petite, but Diana felt that it was just right for her.

Uh, right for Akko. Not for Diana. It's not like Diana is doing this to check her out or anything.

Diana began to rub sunscreen on Akko's back. "H-How does that feel?" Diana asked, nervously.

"Fine…I guess," Akko replied. Secretly, she was still getting used to the idea of Diana, of all people, rubbing her body all over.

"Hold on a moment," said Diana. "I missed a spot."

Then, Akko let out a yelp! She suddenly sat up and looked at Diana, making sure to turn her back away from her. "What are you doing?!" she asked, startled.

"I'm…putting sunscreen on your back," answered Diana.

"That's not my back! That's my butt!"

"Well of course," Diana said, trying to play it cool. "That's still technically your back, isn't it? And besides, you wouldn't want it to be sunburned now, do you?"

Akko's face turned red as she was catching on to what Diana was doing. "You were trying to cop a feel, weren't you?!" she asked.

Diana gulped. "I most certainly was not!" she protested.

"You were too!" argued Diana. "First you grab my ta-tas! And now you're grabbing my butt!"

"That first time was an accident!"

Diana sighed. "Akko, you're making a big deal out of nothing," she said, "Or would you rather walk away here with a bright red bum?"

Akko only pouted angrily at Diana. "I can put sunscreen on my own butt, thank you very much!" she said.

And she did just that. Akko reached down and rubbed whatever sunscreen was left all over her behind.

"Forgive me for wanting to protect you from the sun," pouted Diana.

Just then, Akko had an idea.

She swiped the sunscreen from Diana's hands. "Well then," she said with a smug look on her face, "we better make sure you're protected from the sun too!"

"What do you mean?" Diana asked, worriedly.

"Don't you need someone to put sunscreen on your back?"

Diana did her best to stay calm. "I…suppose you're right," she said, trying to stay cool.

Diana then turned around so that her back was facing Akko. "Just remember to be gentle," she said.

"Hold on now," said Akko, "you need to lie on your stomach. Remember? You told me it's easier that way."

Diana already knew where Akko was going with this. "No," she refused, "I think you can do just fine with me sitting down."

"Come on now," teased Akko, "get on your stomach like I did!"

"I know what you're trying to do," argued Diana.

"Hey, you touched mine! So I have to touch yours now!"

Diana's face went bright red. "I-I told you it was a…!"

Suddenly, Akko wrapped her arms around Diana and knocked her over so that she was face-down on her towel. "A-Akko, what has gotten into you?!" snapped Diana.

With Diana on her stomach, Akko sat down right on her back to try and keep her from moving. "Get off of me!" Diana shouted. Even she didn't sit on her when she was putting sunscreen on Akko.

Akko then started rubbing sunscreen down Diana's back. "There!" she said. "This isn't so bad, right?"

"There is no need for you to pin me down like this!" argued Diana.

But Akko didn't listen. She kept running her hands down her back.

Still sitting on Diana's back, Akko turned herself around so that she was facing down Diana's lower backside.

"Now, let's make sure your butt is nice and...!"

Once Akko peered down at Diana's bottom, she lost her train of thought and her eyes widened.

Much like Diana, Akko never really paid much attention to Diana's lower backside. She only managed to get a view (and feel) of Diana's nude front side. And once Akko was convinced to get naked, Diana's rear end just became an afterthought to her.

But looking at it now, Akko couldn't help but be flabbergasted. As with her chest, Diana had much more going than Akko did. While nowhere near the biggest on the beach, Diana's was still quite rounded. It looked to be firm while also still being soft to the touch.

"What are you waiting for?" Diana asked, bracing herself. "If you're going to do it, you might as well!"

But Akko stood completely still, finding herself unable to go through with it.

Eventually, she slowly lifted herself off Diana, rubbing the leftover sunscreen on her knees. Diana was confused. "Are you not going to…?"

"You can do it yourself," Akko replied, bluntly.

Diana saw that Akko was trying hard not to look at her. "Are you feeling okay?" she asked, worriedly.

"...y-yeah, totally!" stammered Akko.

Diana was perplexed to see Akko suddenly go quiet and seemingly embarrassed.

Before she could speak up, Akko reached for her inner tube and held it around her waist. "I'm heading into the water!" she said, frantically.

Without even giving Diana time to respond, Akko darted into the water and paddled herself out into the ocean.

Diana was left all alone, confused by Akko's actions. She looked down at herself.

"I don't understand," she muttered to herself. "Why did Akko just…stop?"

She placed her hands on her buttocks and lightly groped it. "Was she…not pleased?" she asked herself.

She was so fixated on finding out why Akko didn't grab her butt that she didn't notice another woman walking up to her

"I saw everything," she said in a stern voice.

Diana jumped. She looked up…and saw a mean look glaring right back at her.


TO BE CONTINUED…

A/N: This chapter could have gone much longer, but I thought it best to cut things off here! Seems like things may be getting a bit heated between Akko and Diana.

But who is this stern-looking nudist woman is? Maybe you guys can guess!

That was your first clue. Your next clue is she is from another anime series, particularly a more recent one. Your last clue is this anime series has two seasons.

I'm not sure if anyone knows who it is, but I'm curious to see your guesses!
