Pretty 39: Souji x Bashou II

"Just...a little...further..." Bashou is trying her hardest to put the star on the Christmas tree she and her girlfriend Souji are decorating. However, the teal haired girl is mostly doing the work while the blonde is admiring herself as usual. "Ummmm...S-Sou-chan! A little help here? I can't reach!"

"Hm?" Souji can't keep her eyes off the mirror she's holding, just admiring the outfit she is wearing. A gray tank top with a white button shirt on top with blue short shorts and black thigh highs underneath. She just bought that outfit today and decided to put it on right now.

As for Bashou, she is wearing a simple, yet revealing white sweater dress that exposes her shoulders and half of her breasts. The bottom part is a bit short, down to half of her waist, showing her cute panties whenever she bends down or is on top of the ladder, where she is right now.

"Sou-chaaaaaan!" Bashou whimpers. "I feel like I'm going to fall off the ladder any second!"

"Eehehe! Give me five more seconds."

"Five more seconds and I'm down!"

"Fine, fine." The blond puts the mirror aside and walks over towards her girlfriend's side. "Step aside, Ba-chan."

"Sou-chan~!"

Bashou steps down the ladder and hands her the star. Souji climbs the ladder and successfully puts it on top. It glitters from the lights above them as both of the girls step back and admire the pretty tree in front of them.

"Wooooow~!" both of them swoon.

It's Christmas day. Bashou and Souji have been a couple for quite a while now. And for now, after looking at that tree, Souji remembers something. It reminds her of the huge skating area with a larger decorated tree where every couple is present every Christmas day. They call it "Ice Rink for Couples"

Having that idea, Souji looks over at her shy girlfriend and gently takes her hand. "Hey, Ba-chan. Let's go on a Christmas date tonight."

"Eh? Are we going somewhere?" Bashou inquires.

"We sure are! I've heard of this special place that are for couples young and old. They have this huge rink with a large Christmas tree with bright lights in the middle of it all." The blonde pulls away and twirls around enthusiastically and then stops to face her beloved while leaning just a bit towards her while putting her hands behind her back. "So, what do you say, Ba-chan~? You in?"

Bashou hesitates for a moment. It is Christmas day after all, so they have to do something special for each other. Besides, it's been a while since they went on a date, so this is the perfect opportunity. The teal haired girl nods and smiles.

"Sure, Sou-chan. I would love to go on a Christmas date with you," she says.

Souji's smile brightens and hugs her shy girlfriend happily. "Oh, that's wonderful, Ba-chan!"

The teal haired girl returns the embrace and closes her eyes with a smile. Grabbing their jackets, and boots, with Bashou wearing white knee high ones and Souji wearing black ankle length ones, they head out of the house and be on their way towards the ice rink.

As they walk around, Bashou is earning looks from people left and right. All of them have their eyes on her sexy sweater dress and when she realizes it, she blushes bright red and shuts her eyes tightly. Souji scoffs and gives a pouty, "Hmph!" as she stomps ahead with her hand still holding Bashou's.

"How come they don't look at me, huh!?" she mutters. "I'm the most beautiful one around here!"

"S-Sou-chan..." Bashou says, nervously.

"Maybe that outfit for Ba-chan wasn't such a good idea..."

"Sou-chan!"

"Maybe if we traded places, they would pay attention to me more!" Souji says, completely ignoring poor Bashou's cries.

"Sou-chan, people are still staring at me! Do something!"

Souji snaps out of it and puts her arm around her beloved. "Don't worry, Ba-chan! I'll have them pay attention to me instead!"

"Th-that's not what I..."

"Hey, everybody!" She shouts so loud that everyone can hear. "You see here? My girlfriend, Ba-chan, may look sexy, but I'm far more attractive~! Just look at this magnificent outfit of mine~!"

"Sou-chan!" Bashou whimpers.

The people just go silent as they just stare at the two of them in an awkward way and then just turn around and mind their own business. A red vein pops out of the blonde's forehead as she grits her teeth and growls.

"Don't ignore me, people!" she shouts. "Can't you see this dazzling beauty!? Me, Souji! The one and only-"

"Shhhhh!" Bashou just tackle hugs her, burying her head into Souji's large chest. "Sou-chan, please stop! You're making it worse!"

Both of them are on the ground from Bashou's surprisingly strong tackle with the shy girl on top of the narcissist. Souji blinks twice and then smiles and pets her girlfriend.

"Alright, alright, so sorry," the blonde apologizes.

Bashou whimpers as she turns her head, showing a bit of tears forming in her eyes and a blush on her face. "You're too embarrassing, Sou-chan. Can we just focus on our date, please?"

"Right, right. Let's go."

Souji stands up and offers her hand to her girlfriend. Bashou gently grips it and the blonde helps her up and the two walk toward the center of town where the large Christmas tree is present. There were like hundreds of people putting on their skates that were taken from the booth next to the rink and others were skating around the large tree that's in the center of the rink. Bashou and Souji purchase their skates that's the right size for them and then go and sit down to put them on.

It only takes a couple minutes or so, but when they are finished, they carefully step into the rink and hold each other's hand while gliding along.

Slowly and steadily, Bashou takes baby steps while Souji just glides along, still holding her beloved's hand. Souji turns her head to see the shy girl struggling to stay balanced, so she skates toward her and takes both hands in hers.

"Here, Ba-chan," she says, softly. "Just follow me."

Bashou blushes and nods a little as she intertwines hands with her beloved as Souji leads the way, skating backwards perfectly without losing her balance. The teal haired girl is surprised by her effort, though. Since when did Souji learn to skate so well? Just from looking at her, she can tell that the blonde has been acing her skills and it makes her heart beat really fast.

"Sou-chan..." she says softly.

"You keeping up?" Souji inquires.

"Oh...y-yes."

"Good."

Souji keeps skating backwards, still holding onto Bashou's hands as they go. They spin around once in the middle of the rink, gazing into each other's eyes, not paying attention to those around them. For Bashou, it feels like heaven, skating with her one and only beloved Souji. And it feels good.

Once both of them skate to a corner, they stop. Souji gently pulls her girlfriend closer to her and embraces her, still gazing into Bashou's eyes. Bashou comes closer, returning the embrace and presses her head against Souji's chest.

"Sou-chan...thank you..." she says softly. "This is the best Christmas ever."

Souji strokes her hair and kisses her forehead. "No problem, Ba-chan. I planned for this since 2 days ago. And luckily, it turned out the way I wanted it to."

The two remain like this for a while until Souji pulls herself away to tip Bashou's chin to her level and lean in to kiss her on the lips. Bashou immediately returns the favor, wrapping her arms around Souji's neck as they deepen the kiss and pull away to gaze at each other once more.

"Ba-chan...I love you," Souji whispers.

"I...I love you, too...Sou-chan," Bashou whispers back.

Both Souji and Bashou continue staring at each other until two girls skate over toward them. One of them has medium length brown hair tied in a small pony tail while the other one is slightly taller with longer hair tied in a pony-tail with beautiful tanned skin.

"Ah, Souji," Homura says. "Fancy seeing you here."

"You're...Souji-chan?" Asuka asks.

"The one and only~" the blonde says. "And this is my cute girlfriend, Bashou, or as I like to call her, 'Ba-chan'~"

"H-hello," Bashou squeaks. "It's a pleasure to meet you."

"It's a pleasure to meet you too, Bashou-chan~" Asuka says. "Let's get along, okay?"

"S-sure..."

"So what brings you here?" Souji asks. "Going on a wonderful Christmas date, I bet?"

"We sure are~" Asuka says as she hugs her beloved. "Homura-chan actually thought of this place! It's so wonderful!"

"I know right~?" Souji agrees. "Best place for couples, young and old~"

Homura smiles and pets her junior. "You've done well, Souji. You're growing up and found yourself a girlfriend."

"Hey, don't tease me like I'm some kid!" Souji pouts. "A beautiful woman is ALWAYS mature looking and that's me~"

Asuka giggles. "Souji-chan, all girls are beautiful, you know?"

"Hey, if anyone wants to be attractive and good looking, it should be me~" Souji boasts. "Because no other girl is a match for me!"

"S-Sou-chan...you're doing it again!" Bashou cries as she is a blushing mess.

Homura shakes her head in dismay, a smile still plastered on her face. "That girl never changes, does she?"

"Ahahaha~" Asuka laughs nervously. "So, this is what you were telling me about, Homura-chan..."

"Anyways, it was great to see you, but Ba-chan and I are going to keep on skating together," Souji says. "Merry Christmas, you two."

"Merry Christmas, Souji-chan and Bashou-chan!" Asuka says.

"Merry Christmas," Bashou says with a small smile.

As Asuka and Homura leave, holding hands, Souji suddenly pulls Bashou close and dips her, surprising the shy girl with an adorable squeak.

"S-Sou-chan!?" she gasps..

"You're doing pretty well on the ice," Souji says. "The whole time we were talking, you didn't fall."

Bashou looks down at her feet, noticing that her legs aren't wobbling at all. "Oh...I-I see."

"Ehehe~! Guess my guidance has paid off, huh~?"

Souji lifts her up and glides forward with one hand holding Bashou's. "Now come on. Let's dance together~"

Bashou blushes and nods. "Y-yes! Let's!"

With Souji leading, she glides along the ice with Bashou following. The blonde then turns around, takes both of her hands and the girls spin 360 degrees a few times, letting their hair sway gracefully, with both of them gazing at each other as they go and when they stop, Souji twirls her around, lifting her girlfriend's arm to signal her to. Bashou does so and stops to face her, putting her hands on Souji's chest with a smile and a soft giggle. Souji chuckles, kissing her forehead, pulls away and twirls Bashou around once more, then pulling her close and dips her to kiss her on the lips.

Bashou blushes heavily as she is being pulled right back up and the two continue dancing for as long as they wanted to. This is THEIR Christmas date on a very special holiday, just for the two of them to celebrate however they want to. With one last twirl and spinning in circles the two stop one last time to gaze into each other's eyes.

"Sou...chan..." the teal haired girl whispers.

"Oh, Ba-chan..." Souji takes the lead in kissing her on the lips. "Merry Christmas, my cute beloved, Ba-chan."

"Merry Christmas, Sou-chan...I love you."
