*Sizzle*
The hot springs boiled with fervor and auburn of a melting volcano. The hot spring was fashioned from tin and beaten into shape with a flat hammer. It was just big enough for a Elephant to sit in and the water was never more than tepid. Once you outgrew it you had to wash with a damp cloth or go to the ocean, there was no chance of getting something bigger. No-one could spare the metal for something like that. Rocks,plants and shrapnel filled the outer rim of the hot springs which made it feel make nature-like and facilitate the mood.
Hattori sat at the edge of the of the tub with her back facing away from the floated majestically, moving her legs back and forth almost like a fish. Her whole body was exposed as the water was clearly than a sunny day.
Hattori: Ah! Wakaba-sama was right when she said that these were the best in town!
She confirmed to herself.
Hattori soaked in the lush bath for two more minutes before she heard the noise she had been waiting for.
*Slicckkkkkkkk*
the curtains leading into the bath house slid open Out of it came shima.
Hattori with excitement turned her head quickly to see her nude friend, only to be sorely disappointed...
Hattori: Shima!
... Shima was wearing a bathing suit.
Hattori: Shima! What the heck!?
Shima: what? You didn't think I was actually gonna let a perv like you see me naked?
Hattori puffed her cheeks angrily.
Hattori: You're supposed to be naked! You won't get full feeling of the spa that way!
She angrily said.
Shima: I don't care.
Shima replied.
She then slipped her feet into the spring water. Shima sighed as her stress and pent up was all released as she felt the relaxing feel of water hit her smooth silky skin.
Shima: Ahhhhh.
Shima could finally relax her muscles and her soul as the water took away most of her troubles.
Hattori: hehe. Enjoying it shima~
Hattori wiggled her butt in the water.
Causing shima fo see hattori's curvaceous rump.
Shima: Ugh. Hattori... Can you please turn around. I dont Want to have your ass in my field of vision this whole time.
Shima demanded.
Hattori: ...Are you sure?
Hattori chuckled.
Shima: Yes!
Hattori: Are you really sure ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)?
Hattori insisted.
Shima: yes! Sometime today please.
Hattori: Alright~ If that's what you want~
Hattori, Slyly turned around to face forward.
It was now clear to shima why the perverted had teased her about her reassurance.
Now with hattori facing forward, Shima could see everything. Hattori's huge chest seemingly floated as they transitioned into the water.
Their perfect curve and ampleness were on full display to shima almost making her jealous if it weren't for the situation they were in. Not only that but due to the clearness of the water her Private parts were on full display.
Shima: GYAHHH! TurnAroundturnaroundturnaroundtorunaround!
Shima shrieked and covered her eyes.
Hattori: Hehe~ What? We're both girls!
Shima: IdontcareIdontcareIdontcareIdontcareIdontcare!
Shima like a mongoose started to stutter and say incoherent sentences in her embarrassment.
Hattori: Alright geez. Drama queen.
She relented and then shifted her body around to it's previous position which only exposed her behind.
Hattori: *Sigh* Women these days...
Shima uncovered her eyes and also sighed.
Shima: Frickin pervert.
Hattori: teehee.
Shima looked away.
Shima: -by the way, is it okay for you to swim in this hot water with that leg wound?
Hattori: Yeah it's fine~ Besides I like the pain of the boiling water~
Shima: ...
There was then a long but brief silence for about a minute and a half. The water around them started to bubble as the true relaxing effects of the bath came in.
Hattori: Hey shima.
Hattori broke the silence.
Shima: What?
Hattori: Are we friends?
Shima: ...
Shima was quiet at hattori's question.
Shima: *sigh* Hattori you can be a handful sometimes and ok ther times you really piss me off...
Shima: -but yes. I would consider you my "friend."
Shima said
Hattori: wow really? I swear sometimes you act as if you hate me.
Shima: Hate? No hattori. I could never hate you, Why do you ask?
Hattori: Well...
Hattori: When you got mad at me for destroying the RX-5, It seemed like you were-
Shima: Angry? Yes. I was. But I understood it was not you're fault and I've moved on hattori. I could never hate you for that.
Shima explained.
Shima: Were you worried, That I'd hold a grudge at you for that?
Hattori: Yup. I wouldn't want the closest thing I have to an older sister to be mad at me.
Shima: Sister? You think of me as a sister?
Hattori: Yup! You and Reishi are like family to me~ Besides Senpai's Commanding demeanor and your tsundere-ness, I like you two because you guys treat me like A little sister.
Shima: Huh? Do we?
Hattori: Yes! Duh. Remember when Last semester I was failing Astrology and you...
{Flashback}
November 28th 2059
It was a cold November Night, Hattori and Shima we're walking home.
they had stayed at school longer than usual because shima had forced hattori into studying in the Library
Sounds of street lights and night owls filled sky as they did, fufilling the mood.
Shima: Ok Hattori. It's a clear night, So we should be able to see almost every stars location in the sky clearly. Now tell me what is that one's up there?
Shima pointed to the sky.
Hattori: Um... Alpha Centauri?
Shima: Correct! Good Job Hattori!
Hattori giggled as shima ruffled her hair.
HAttori: Hehe. Now can I get that "Reward." For studying so hard with you?
Shima: *sigh* A promise is a promise...
*Whack*
Shima winded arm and fiercely slapped hattori literally on the back. Causing her to fall down.
Hattori: Ha...Ha...Ha... Studying Never felt... So good...
Shima: ...
{End}
Shima: ... Oh yeah. I did do that.
Hattori: -And then there was the time senpai protected me from those Ravenous Dogs~
{Flashback}
January 6th 2060
There hattori was, Backed into a corner in an alleyway.
About 7 stray dogs had chased her all the way into this alley and they were coming for her blood.
Hattori: Ehehehe. Nice Doggies... Let's not do anything Reckless Now...
Hattori was legitimately scared. She would've normally liked a pain that wouldve come from this. But she realized that these dogs would likely kill her if given the chance.
Dog: *BARK*
The dogs were not listening to reason.
They were ready to ravish the girl in more ways than one.
And as they prepared to attack, Hattori closed her eyes, Preparing for the worst.
But then a voice from beyond called to her.
Reishi: Hey You Mutts! Get away from her!
It was reishi. In her hand she had about 5 beef patties and sausage links cooked and ready to go. Like a pro football player she threw them all of the place, scattering them throughout the alleyway.
The dogs quickly dispersed trying to get the free meals and left hattori alone.
She and reishi soon got out of the alleyway.
Reishi: *Huff Huff* Hattori are you okay?
Hattori: Yup! Thanks to you senpai~
Reishi gave a sigh of relief and said:
Reishi: How'd you even get yourself into that situation?
Hattori: Ehehehe. I sort of kicked one of them
Reishi: What? Why would you do that!
Hattori: I wanted it to bite me! But I didn't expect him to call his buddies and run my down!
Reishi: ... Hattori you have some serious issues.
{End}
Hattori: Ah~ Such good big sisters you two are~
Shima: It seems like it's a tad bit one sided... We're always protecting you but you don't really do anything for us...
Shima joked.
Hattori: Hey! I'm took you out to this nice spot and senpai to a chinese place! I think we're all even!
Hattori exclaimed.
Shima: Haha.
Shima laughed and casually leaned back.
Shima: Can I ask you a question Hattori?
Hattori: Of course Shima~
Shima: What are you going to do in life?
Hattori: ...?
Shima: Like what are your goals and ambitions?
Hattori Paused for a moment.
Hattori: Well... Heh. That's a good question shima.
Hattori: Before I met senpai I think I always wanted to be a-
Shima: Marine Biologist?
Hattori: ...!
Hattori was shocked at how shima had telegraphed what she going to say.
Hattori: H-How the heck did you guess that?
Shima: Oh come on, It's written all over you. The fact that you use mermaids as your deck type, Your blue eyes and even the masochism is tied to mermaids in some way.
Hattori: -God. You really are a smarty-pants, shima~
Hattori: But yes. Before I met senpai I was thinking about that as my future.
Shima: Are you still considering it?
Hattori: Nope!
Hattori casually answered.
Shima: W-Why not?
Hattori: Because. My future is with senpai~ I just wanna be with her for the rest of my life! We'll get married and maybe start a family!
Shima: ...
Shima could not grasp why hattori would risk her whole future on just one person. She decided to ask her the obvious question.
Shima: O-ok hattori. -And what if that doesn't work out?
Hattori: ... Huh?
Shima: What if Reishi Doesn't love you back? What if she doesn't reciprocate your feeling of enamorrement?
Hattori: ...
Hattori thought about it for a few seconds.
Hattori: W-Well Then, I guess I'd just get married to a different person and maybe become a housewife?
Shima: That's an awful plan hattori.
Hattori: why?
Shima: Because You're hinging your own future on someone else instead of yourself. That's practically setting yourself up for failure.
Shima: Here's my advice : Follow your dreams. That should be you're number one priority. Not trying to fulfil some lustful fantasy that you have.
Hattori: You really think think that?
Shima: as your friend, yes.
Shima Spilled her heart out to hattori. In a state of mutual understanding, Hattori simply nodded her head.
Hattori: Thanks shima~
She said in gratitude.
