A/N: We're closing in on the end...! Jesus christ I can't believe I wrote a new story start to finish in less than a year...wtf (and it wasn't short, either). I'm sorry this took so long to update (comparatively... *looks nervously at the million-and-one other long-haul fics*) but I got caught up in other stuff and also my state caught on fire so that didn't do good things for my mental state...
Warnings: NSFW definitely; you didn't think that UST in the title was just there for show, did you?
Just as her mood fluctuated on a day-to-day basis, so too did the weather. The grey, foggy skies from the date of their confession seemed weeks away, as the sun turned unseasonably hot. As temperatures soared, so did tempers; especially Adam's as the attic was now closer to an oven than a bedroom.
"Blimey, think I might sleep in the den tonight... 's probably hot enough t' fry an egg up there," Adam groused as the sat in front of the (only) fan, the air offering only a mild relief from the heavy, sticky heat. "Another night, and I might actually perish..."
He glared at the Indian, who pretended not to notice. Then again, nobody could say that Mahesh hadn't offered when they'd first arrived—but Adam had too much pride to ask for a room swap. Especially since there were only a few days left, anyway.
"Ano, Adam, if you want you could...share my room," the sniper said quietly, not wanting the other two to hear. "I mean like the floor, or maybe we could drag in a couple of cushions—or I could take the floor and you can take my bed?"
Adam shook his head. "Don't bother; I'll just tough it out until the end of the week. 'S not like there's that much time left anyway."
"Uh, okay..." Sio raised an eyebrow as Adam dismissed her with a gruff tone. She understood his irritation, but if he hadn't been planning on switching, then why complain about it in the first place? 'I guess this is what they call bitching...but still, why bring it up if you're not actually going to do anything about it?'
Though it'd only been a few days, Sio was fast learning that not everything was rainbow sunshine and unicorns when it came to dating. Not that she was expecting Adam to do a complete 180, even with his gradual mellowing-out; but it still jarred her whenever he switched back to his sarcastic, tsundere attitude. It wasn't often, and certainly wasn't as bad as before, but still it made her unsure of how to react, given that they were a lot closer.
Such as now. Part of her felt sorry for Adam and wished to help him any way she could; but another part of her wanted to roll her eyes and comment how he was acting more like a petulant child than her boyfriend.
She chalked it up to the heat; even she, the usually sweet-tempered sniper of the group, was feeling a little on-edge since she woke up sweating and kicking her covers off. Her windows were open for air, but instead of a nice, cool sea breeze, the house felt smothered in a heavy, hot blanket. Despite iced tea and coffee, along with cheese and cold cuts for a non-heated breakfast, Sio didn't feel any cooler. Now the group was starting to realize the downside of not having any type of air conditioning in the house; even the one fan they managed to dig up from the basement wasn't very powerful, and there was only one.
"Ugh...Adam, can we skip training today? I think I might actually get heatstroke..." Sio groaned, fanning herself with a magazine as she sprawled over the couch.
"...Well, if you want t' just bum around all day, it's your choice."
Again, Sio felt a bubble of anger well up. It was a perfectly reasonable request given the weather, and he'd already given her a free pass before on nothing more than being worried about her. But now he was just dismissing her; implying that she was a lazy newbie who didn't take her role as an e-gene holder seriously. She debated about flinging back some snarky remark, but decided against it. They were both getting agitated from the heat and each other; another careless statement and they might actually get into an argument, a first in a long time.
"I'm just saying it's super hot! Weren't you the one who was all concerned about me accidentally hurting myself? And now you turn right around and act like my health isn't important..."
"Then wait until it's cooler, or find an alternative activity that isn't as intense."
Sio's eyebrow twitched. "...Then why didn't you just say that in the first place?"
Adam opened his mouth to reply, but shut it before anything came out. Instead, he shook his head, as if dismissing her concerns. "...Whatever." His cheeks were flushed from the heat and his temper, his pale skin making it all the more obvious. Silver strands stuck to his neck, and he was wearing the crop top again—probably because there was no better choice. Despite her anger, Sio couldn't help but notice the thin sheen of sweat glistening from his abs.
'Damn, why does he have to be so hot...' She grumbled as he left, trying to not think horny things because when one was mad it didn't seem right to have such lustful thoughts. Her brain seemed to disagree though, much to her dismay.
"Here love, want a cooling pack? It'll help," Jess offered kindly, as if knowing exactly what the sniper was going through. "I know it won't solve everything, but it'll make you feel a mite better."
"Thanks, Jess-san," Sio grumbled, but gratefully accepted the ice pack. "I swear, men sometimes..."
The blonde raised an eyebrow, but wisely chose not to comment. "Just ignore him; he's being a right berk he is, and a stubborn one, at that. Why don't you join us the yard? There's some shade, and at least the air won't be so stuffy."
"Hnn...maybe I will." Casting her boyfriend one last glance, she joined the other two holders outside, where an extra cup of iced coffee awaited her. Though she still preferred tea to coffee, Sio had to admit that after nearly a month of it being offered, it was starting to grow on her. Slightly. The bitterness was actually refreshing, and a lot easier to stand when softened with plenty of milk and sugar. When she'd finally made her first cup of coffee, Adam teased she was adding so much extra sugar and milk she might as well exclude the coffee.
'Who cares about him now; if he wants to be a giant grump, that's not my problem...' She drank her coffee in a sullen silence, barely even noticing the nice scenery and blue sky. At least the air was fresh, if still hot and somewhat muggy.
"I wonder if a storm is coming...I've heard it's unusual for this part of the country to have thunderstorms, but this air..." Jess tugged at the collar of her shirt, which was damp with sweat already.
"Could be, but I don't see any clouds," the Indian commented, finishing off his own iced coffee. "You holding up okay, Sio-chan?"
"Ah—what? Oh, I'm fine," she said sullenly, and the other two raised eyebrows. "Man, this heat is something else...I thought only Tokyo got hot like this..."
"For sure. Makes me wonder if we should go and get something to cool off...I'm thinking something icy, maybe a little creamy..."
"So, who wants...ice cream?" Sio nearly volunteered herself at Mahesh's suggestion, but then remembered that if she did, she'd most likely be recruited as part of the shopping crew. And no matter how delicious and tempting a pint of chocolate ice cream sounded right now, the thought of slogging to the store, waiting in line, and then all the way back in this heat made her hesitate.
'Damn I really want some...! But I'm also lazy...and this heat! What if all the ice cream melts before we even get back?'
"Ah, uh...I, I..."
"Don't worry Sio-chan, I can already tell just by the look on your face that going out in this weather is probably the last thing on your mind. We can go pick some up for everybody...right, Mahesh?" Though she wore a smile, the blonde's voice was surprisingly menacing, especially as she gripped his shoulder in a vice. "I said, isn't that right?"
"O-Of course, Jess..." The Indian's face was strained, even with that winsome smile. "A-Anyway, before we head off into this...lovely weather, we should get an idea of what everyone wants."
Sio mulled over her choices as the other two steeled themselves. Adam had only texted back a rather curt 'anything but coconut', the man himself probably either holed up somewhere in the basement or else training. After agonizing over the seemingly-endless selection, she finally settled on rocky road; ever since she heard about it the name just stuck, and the sniper was quite curious as to how the combination of chocolate, marshmallows and nuts tasted. It certainly sounded good on paper—but what was up with that name?
Still, with four flavors in total, there was bound to be something for everyone. After grabbing a cooler and plenty of ice packs, Mahesh and Jess drove off, making a solemn promise to return with cooling relief. After Sio waved them off, she wandered aimlessly around the kitchen, the heat killing her appetite somewhat. 'Maybe I'll just play some games or something until they get back...' As she was about to pick up the controller though, Adam's snide remark came floating back and she groaned.
"God damn it...now I'll feel like a slacker if I don't at least do something...curse you, Adam." Grumbling to herself, she was just about to strip off her shirt and into her sports bra when Adam reappeared, wiping his face with a clean towel and looking startled as the roles now reversed: the sniper staring wide-eyed and shirtless, Adam turning an interesting shade of pink before he quickly averted his eyes.
"Hiyaaa! Wh-when did you get here?!"
"Bloody hell, must you change in the open, too?! I thought you had more sense than that, squirt!"
"I-I—well nobody asked you to walk in all of a sudden—" The sniper hugged herself tightly, mortified that he'd possibly seen her tiny, non-existent boobs.
"—Oh I'm sorry, was I supposed to announce my presence or something?" Adam shot back sarcastically, cheeks still a faint red. "Why can't you act normal for once and just change in your room? As if Mirza and Jess aren't enough of a handful already..."
"I, I..." Cheeks puffed, the sniper ran out of patience, and forgot for a moment that she wasn't wearing a top; instead she marched right up to Adam and planted her hands on her hips. "Excuse me? It just happened to be an accidental coincidence, and now you think I'm some, some sort of...shameless pervert?" Despite his fierce gaze, she did not back down; they were supposed to be past this already, these petty little squabbles and fights, and now he was dragging it back up all over again?
"For the love of—would you at least put something on, first?" His eyes briefly swept over her face before they turned away, and Sio finally noticed. She gave a squawk before hurriedly scrounging for her t-shirt, Adam burying his face and sighing.
"This is exactly what I'm talking about..."
"I-It's not like I did it on purpose! I only started changing because you keep implying I'm some lazy brat!" The sniper retorted hotly, still mortified but also irritated. "Why do you have to be such an asshole about these things?!"
"About what? About asking you to maybe have some more practical decency? In case it wasn't obvious, I do not fancy seeing others undressed."
Sio stilled, not sure what to respond and not wanting to let on that his words hurt more than she anticipated. True, she probably shouldn't have been so careless about changing in the open...but it was an accident, and in any case what good would complaining about it now do? She'd gambled and it didn't pan out; that didn't mean he could yell at her and accuse her of being a degenerate.
"...I know that. I, know you're...not like that. And I'm sorry, but I didn't mean to do that...so why can't you be nicer about it?" Those tears fell before she knew it, Adam looking as startled as she felt. "You know, I really believed you when you said you'd change for me...but I guess the joke's on me." Without another word she turned and fled up the stairs, only the sound of a door firmly closing echoing down.
"...Fucking hell...!" A hole nearly appeared in the wall, but the Victorian was sturdy enough to withstand a punch from even a genetically enhanced human. Fist smarting, Adam growled as he pulled out a first-aid kit, winding the tape and gauze around his knuckles with a practiced hand. How long had it been since he'd lost his temper like this, resorting to juvenile outbursts and self-harm? But then again, there was never someone like her, before all this, either. Someone he truly cared about, beyond his mother.
You really fucked this one up, Adam. In hindsight, he'd been pretty beastly. Even if his reason was legitimate, the sniper was right; why did he always have to say things in the worst way possible? There were a number of different ways he could've worded it, hell even his tone of voice didn't need to be so sharp, especially with someone as earnest as her. How was it that even after all that he'd said to her yesterday, he still couldn't watch his mouth when his temper flared?
Adam glanced out the window, the sun bearing down with the full heat of midday. The heat. He didn't want to blame external factors, but it certainly didn't help matters. Come to think of it, throwing a wobbler about getting the attic room hadn't been very mature of him, either. Groaning, he poured himself a glass of ice water before slowly trudging up to the sniper's room, determined to make it right.
He'd been serious when he told Sio that he would change, for her. Now, it was time to show it.
"Seriously, he's like a kid throwing a tantrum! I swear...so much for the 'mature college student' vibe," Sio ranted into the phone while fanning herself. At first she only planned to send Asao-san a deluge of texts, but when her friend responded with an offer to talk (despite the late hour), Sio unabashedly accepted.
"There there Sio-chan. People don't change overnight. I'm sure there'll be slip-ups now and again," her friend consoled. "At least it seems overall he's a lot better now, right?"
"Yeah, he is, but I'm just like...must you be so...well, mean about things? Like okay I get it, I know I shouldn't have been lazy and just went to my room, but come on!"
"So, have you two made up yet?" Sio mumbled some sort of incoherent 'no'. "...Well, probably wouldn't hurt to have a discussion with him about this. Especially if he's serious about being your boyfriend and treating you right..."
"I know...but I don't really wanna talk to him right now. Ugh, great, just what I need right before we're all about to transition back to our 'normal' lives—another stupid fight—"
Knock knock. The sniper sat up with a start; no doubt the knock was from Adam, since there was no way Jess and Mahesh were back yet. "Crap, speak of the devil—sorry Asao-san—"
"—Ah, the man of the hour appears. Don't worry Sio-chan, I have faith! Ganbatte!" With that Asao hung up, leaving Sio staring at the door with a leery glance. She gave it another couple of seconds, before shuffling over and finally opening the door, revealing a sullen-looking Adam.
"...Hey."
"...Ogura."
Oh, so we're back to last names now, huh? She thought sarcastically, but let him in. "...So. What do you want."
And here we go. The girl before him appeared sulky, but at least she was listening. Which was already better than what he imagined might happen, such as locking him out or beaming him with a pillow. "...To ask you, politely, to please be more aware of your surroundings and not just...strip randomly simply because no one else is around. It really makes me uncomfortable, just as you get uncomfortable whenever one of those two accost you randomly."
Sio winced internally. Adam certainly remembered everything and forgot nothing, it seemed. "Yeah, I kinda figured that. Since you're asking so nicely...I, I'll try my best to remember that. And I'm...s, sorry I made you feel uncomfortable. I didn't...that's not what I want to do..."
"...I know. You're not that kind of person...so I'm sorry I accused you of being one."
"Yeah, about that." Sio turned and sat on the window bench. "You know, I get that you're not great at communicating your feelings and such, but...I really wish you'd be less harsh when you tell me these things. Like, I know, I probably shouldn't have done that, but you don't need to blow up at me to make a point," she said, voice quivering slightly. "It's...kinda scary when you get like that."
Oh no. Though she wasn't outright sobbing, Adam could tell instantly that the sniper was on the verge of tears. This wasn't exactly going how he planned...even though she seemed to have accepted his apology, the last thing he wanted was to upset her. "I—Sio, I...yeh, you're right. That wasn't good of me to yell at you like that...it's just, I'll admit it'll probably take me time t' get used to it and catch myself. So, so...please don't cry, alright? The last thing I want to do is to scare you or make you feel unsafe. When...when you told me that I made you feel safe by holding you...I want to be that for you."
The sniper sniffled, trying to wipe her tears away. "I, I do...you do make me feel safe, like that. Just...if you want me to be more aware of my habits, th-then, you have to be too...especially when you get all, all...tsundere sometimes...I can't tell which Adam you are..."
The silver-haired holder seemed to stiffen at her comment, but Sio didn't think much on it. "...Apologies. I—I don't want you to think of me like that. Don't...be afraid of me because my e-gene. Please."
Huh? His e-gene...? The sniper looked up in confusion. Adam seemed unusually distraught. 'I guess his e-gene is a touchy subject for him...but thinking about it, it makes sense...'
"Ano, Adam...don't take this the wrong way or anything, but...is, is that why you...you're not comfortable with, um...those types of behaviors? You don't want people thinking you're...just like Jack the Ripper...?"
He didn't say anything for a while, instead leaning against the wall deep in thought. For some reason Sio felt like that wasn't the real answer, or at least not all of it...but she sensed enough to know that perhaps, she hadn't quite earned that level of trust from him, yet.
"...Partly. I'm sorry, but it's...rather complicated. I just don't like that type of behaviour in general, e-gene notwithstanding. But it is true, that there were those who first judged me solely based on 'Jack the Ripper'...and probably still do, now."
"Adam...I'm sorry..." She felt sad all over again, even though she wasn't mad anymore. Without another word she got up and gave him a hug, surprising the man but it was returned instantly, Sio relishing the embrace.
"...Can I safely assume I've been forgiven, now?"
"...Mn." She nodded against his chest, nuzzling again despite the heat. "You're not scary anymore..."
He patted her head and she purred, almost like a cat. Adam resisted the urge to laugh, but she was really adorable.
"...By the way, if you're worried, don't be. I didn't see anything. Well, not really..."
"Eh? Sio looked up in confusion, curious as to why he was bringing this up all of a sudden and why he was blushing. "See what?"
"I uh, uhh..." Seriously, how could such a brilliant strategist be this dense when it came to daily life? "...Y'know, when I walked in on you...you, weren't wearing a shirt..."
The sniper gasped at the realization, pulling away and babbling all sorts of nonsense as she turned bright red.
"Ah! Ohmygosh, I'm so sorry!" She hugged herself tightly, even though she was clothed now. "I-I, y-you..." The girl seemed to have melted into a puddle, whining and sinking to the floor as Adam looked on in bewilderment.
"Uh, Sio...it's fine, really. Seriously, I'm not upset anymore. I mean, it's not like there's that much to see, anyway..."
At that comment the girl began to wail, and Adam slapped himself mentally. 'Good going wanker, way to imply you think her tits are too small...'
"A-Ah, no, that's not what I mean Sio! There's nothing wrong with your...bust, I'm serious! I just meant that, I'm pretty sure I didn't see anything private—"
"—N-No, I'm not blind; I know they're super small...is it any wonder people have a hard time believing I'm about to graduate high school..." Sio looked absolutely downtrodden, even as Adam consoled her. "Be honest with me; do you think m, my...boobs are too small?"
"Uuhhh...what?" He almost couldn't believe she was bringing this up, now. But then again, the sniper could be wildly unpredictable, even when he thought he knew her. "...I...wh, where is this, coming from?"
"Just answer the question!"
"Alright alright; blimey, you say the strangest things sometimes," Adam muttered, not wanting to upset the girl anymore than she already was. "For the record—and I am being completely, 100% serious—no, they are not. Sure they're small, but it suits you. Being small is not a bad thing at all."
She peered up at him with teary eyes, cheeks faintly pink. "You...you're serious? Y, You're not just saying it to make me feel better, are you?"
"Oh come on, Sio. Why would I lie about something like that?" He gave her an exasperated look, which seemed to finally reassure her.
"Okay, I believe you...and, thanks for...being honest." Now Sio was abashed, embarrassed she'd made such a fuss about all this in the first place. "It's, it's just...I always thought, guys liked large chests...at least, that's what I've heard..."
"Well...I can see why you'd think that, but speaking as a guy, that's definitely not the case. I find you cute, y'know?" He gently kissed the top of her hair, the sniper squeaking in surprise. "Quite so, in fact."
"Ah..." Sio was rendered speechless, relishing in his warm affections while also being mortified that she'd even brought up the topic of her chest size in the first place. Breasts. Boobs. 'What the hell was I thinking...!' Still, she was relieved to hear that Adam didn't mind their petite size; it seemed silly now in hindsight, but how was she supposed to know? It wasn't as if any other guys had shown an interest in her before Adam came along.
As much as she liked cuddling though, soon enough even its comfort couldn't override the hideous temperatures. "Urm, sorry Adam...d-don't get me wrong, I really like being like this and all, but uh, just...it's so hot and I'm getting all sticky...y-you probably don't wanna be near me when I'm all sweaty and gross like this..."
The sniper really needed to learn to watch her words. As Adam relented, he couldn't help but have a completely inappropriate vision as Sio complained of being sweaty, clothes and hair sticking every which way. Her shirt was riding up, revealing a smooth, taut stomach with peachy-soft skin and the tiniest dips of what must've been her bellybutton.
Adam felt his groin become desperately tight all of a sudden and gulped. Was it just him, or did it get even hotter than it already was? Why was it taking those two so long to get back, anyway—but a quick check on his phone, and he could see from their messages that they weren't the only ones who had the idea to go get some cold treats. He groaned, torn between spending more time with Sio or else beating a hasty retreat to relieve himself with a long, cold, shower.
"Adam? Are you feeling okay? You're not getting heatstroke, are you? You're awfully red!" Those small hands brushed against his forehead, and it took every ounce of self control to not start making out with her. "You should sit down and get some rest!"
"Y-Yeh, I'm...I'm fine," he choked out, not sure how much more he could handle. The sniper was so close he could smell her scent: clean sweat, mixing with a rather musky odor that Adam couldn't identify, only knowing that it made his own arousal even stronger. "Listen Sio, I—"
"Hmm? What's up?" Innocent maroons blinked up at him, and Adam felt even more guilty for what he was about to ask. Worst case, she'd probably yell at him for being a perv and maybe whack him with a pillow or something. In any case, whatever potential fallout might happen was a risk he was willing to take.
"I...d, don't take this the wrong way or anything—ah fuck, I guess there's no right way to say this, but..." He gulped nervously, Sio tilting her head as her brows furrowed slightly with confusion and amusement. "Can I...touch you?"
Sio blinked, trying to process those words. "Touch...me? But, we're already touching...aren't we?" She patted his cheek again.
"I-I mean, yes we are but—no, I mean, not...not like that." Gods, he was more nervous than the time he'd somehow been swindled into performing a live concert in secondary—what happened to being the calm, collected leader of the Second Platoon? "...By touching you, I mean...feeling you." The sniper raised an eyebrow and Adam felt his pulse lurch in his throat. "L, Like, I-I mean—"
He didn't even finish his sentence before the sniper grasped his wrist and placed his palm against her exposed stomach, his fingers instantly curling against the smooth, heated skin. "S-Sio?" He choked out a whine as she slowly guided his palm up her torso.
"You mean, like this...right?" Her voice seemed to have dropped in tone to a husky murmur and when did her eyes look so dark?
Is this another one of those e-gene personality shifts? Adam didn't have anymore time to think, only nodding dumbly as Sio moved his hand higher, underneath her shirt until he felt the smooth, curved swelling of the very same petite breast she'd just been fussing over minutes earlier. 'Oh god...she's not wearing a bra?!'
"I-I uh, S, Sio, I, you..."
"Heh, your hand is so warm...it feels nice..." To his immense surprise, the sniper was blushing, but a small smile was gracing her face, as well. "I-I...I've always imagined what it would feel like, i-if you...touched me..."
"Sio..." A million thoughts were running through Adam's mind—the fact that he was actually touching her bare boob, how soft it was, and even Sio's own admission of wanting him to do so—there really was a lot more to the girl than her schoolgirl image otherwise suggested. "I—are you alright with this?"
She looked at him with hazy eyes, cheeks stained a dark pink before nodding. "...Yes, I want this. So, please...don't be afraid, Adam. I-I...I want you to touch me. To feel me...like this..."
He felt her pulse drumming underneath his fingertips, her own small hand guiding his until he cupped the breast in his palm entirely, Sio letting out some sort of sigh. Nodding, he let go of any last reservations and started to move in earnest. Squeezing slightly, but not too hard, he was delighted to find out they fit perfectly in his hands, and were far softer and more plush than anything his own imagination could have come up with. Sio seemed to be at least satisfied with his attempts, if not pleased, as her own eyes fluttered shut and she let out a pleasant hum.
"M-Mm...hang on, this is getting kind of awkward..." Adam withdrew his hands temporarily while Sio wrestled her shirt off, no longer caring in the slightest about exposing herself. "Ugh, I'm all sweaty..."
"That's fine. I don't mind that..." She stood before him, hands awkwardly to her side but she wasn't hiding anymore. Two perfectly petite, yet perky breasts, each with a tiny rose bud surrounded by a small pink circle. In other words, she was adorable beyond words and Adam felt his cock starting to strain hard against his boxers.
"Th, They're okay...?" He nodded, before starting to take off his own shirt, much to Sio's surprise. "E-Eh? Wh, what are you doing?"
"Well, doesn't seem quite fair, otherwise," Adam retorted, as he also struggled to peel the tight-fitting shirt off. "Blimey, it is hot, isn't it?"
"Ah...y, yeah..." Sio was temporarily rendered speechless as she finally saw Adam, completely shirtless with all his muscles bared for her pleasure. A faint pulse ached between her loins, her heart rate speeding up as all sorts of naughty thoughts immediately starting running through her head.
"Since you've been trying so hard to get a good look, I figured I might as well just give you the whole course," Adam smirked, Sio blushing with shame as she realized he'd noticed her peeping attempts. "Gotta say, you need to work on your discretion, squirt."
"I-I wasn't, I-I'm not..." She tried to protest, but even her mind knew it wasn't true. "I..."
"Wanna touch?"
Sio didn't even say anything before her fingertips ran over his hard muscles. 'Holy crap...they're so, solid!' Smooth and warm, she was amazed she hadn't started salivating yet. The ache between her legs grew stronger, Sio rubbing her thighs together slightly to try and ease the tension.
"Eep!" Something warm cupped her chest, before the sniper realized Adam was massaging her breasts, again. "Ah...th, that feels nice..."
"Oh? Well well, what do you we have here?" Sio looked down in confusion as he pinched her left nipple, squeaking at the sensations. "I didn't know you had a shy nipple..."
"A-Ah...I-I, it's always been like that...ah! Th-that one, never sticks out as much as the other one... A-Adam...mmm, this feeling..."
"It's cute. And it seems to feel good, no?" He rolled the pink bud between his fingers, Sio letting out a whine as sparks of pleasure started running through her. "Oh, I see...it's coming out." He did the same to her other breast, Sio panting as his ministrations were making her feel far more pleasurable than anything she'd tried herself. Maybe it was because his hands were a lot bigger, or maybe it was just the fact that Adam was doing this to her, rather than herself.
The throbbing between her legs was getting harder to ignore, especially as Adam teased her nipples until both of them were pointed and stiff. It was a surprise how sensitive her breasts turned out to be, especially since they never did much for her before; but now her whole body was tingling with pleasure, especially that juncture between her legs...
'That's going a bit too far...isn't it?' Eyes glazed, the sniper could barely think straight, but a part of her was still hesitant to go any further. A little touching and fondling, sure, but Sio wondered how Adam would react if she asked him to touch her down there...and all the potential paths that could lead them down... Before she could make up her mind however, Adam swept her up into another kiss, this time pulling her flush against his him and she felt his warm skin against hers. Whatever reservations she had slipped away, and as their tongues wrestled with each other, Sio subtly grasped his hand and gently guided it between her thighs.
"What th—" Adam broke the kiss as he felt his fingers reach somewhere incredibly soft and warm. "Um, Sio..." He looked down, as if to confirm just exactly where he was touching. "Are you...sure?" His own erection was obvious by now; there was no way even someone as inexperienced as her could be oblivious to it—and when her fingers gently brushed against the bulge and he groaned, he knew she was far from innocent. "S-Sio...!"
"You feel it too, don't you? That ache, down there..." She took his digits and rubbed it against the dip in her underwear, legs almost buckling as she moaned. "Th-There...c, can you also...touch me...a-and in return, I can...do the same for you..."
Adam swallowed hard. What Sio suggested was basically mutual masturbation at this point, even if it was through their underwear. It was as if all his wildest fantasies were coming true all at once; though unlike his fantasies, real life was just a tad overwhelming.
"Yeh...sure..." The sniper gingerly touched the bump again, as if unsure what to do, before Adam realized she probably needed some guidance. "Here, let me borrow your hand." Gently, he laid her palm against the head of his erection, using it to rub and caress against the stiffness, until she got the hang of it. "Y-Yeh, that's it...oh god..." As Sio started fondling him, he rubbed that hot slit between her legs; when he brushed against a particular bump however, the sniper let out a cry and pushed herself against his chest.
"Y-Yes! Right there...ah! That's where it feels the best..." Chest heaving, Sio pushed against him, trying to use her hands to please him as well but as Adam's movements became more confident, she found it difficult to concentrate. "O-Oh...uh, A-Adam...!" That warm twitching feeling, building up in her belly that was far more potent than the rising temperatures outside...before she knew it her hips were bucking, mind basically going blank and her hands stopped moving; the only thing that mattered was the pure, scintillating pleasure coursing through her body.
"Nnng...! A-Adam!"
The petite girl stiffened suddenly and gripped his shoulders, a moan tearing from her throat as she collapsed against Adam, the man catching her just before her body slumped to the ground. Apparently Sio had reached her limit first, the sniper panting hard as something hot seeped through her underwear, Adam feeling the slippery liquid coating his fingers. 'Did she just...come?'
"A, Adam...sorry, I wasn't able to, to...help you..." Slowly, Sio propped herself up, still catching her breath as the remnants of her orgasm slowly dissipated. 'Amazing...he wasn't even touching me directly, and I still came before him...' Just having him do it, instead of herself, made a huge difference. Her underwear was now uncomfortably wet, soaked with both her sweat and cum, and vaguely she wondered how he'd react if she shed her clothes completely.
"Oy, take it easy; don't worry about me, I mean it's not like you can help it..." Ignoring his own throbbing erection, Adam helped her to the edge of her bed, Sio's legs still wobbly as she recovered. "So, I take it I did pretty good?" He offered her a roguish grin, causing the sniper to blush.
"Unn...y, yeah...it felt, so good..." Normally she would be super self-conscious about being so exposed, yet as they both sat on her bed, topless and panting slightly, there was something cozy about the intimate situation they were in. To share such a precious experience with someone she really trusted and cared about...though Sio had enjoyed the physical pleasures of climaxing, knowing that Adam felt the same made her heart feel full.
"Glad to hear; I, uh, haven't ever done that before so...I'd hoped it would feel good for you," Adam rubbed the back of his head sheepishly, a faint blush on his face. "Wha—S-Sio—ugh!" Soft hands dipped inside the waistband of his boxers, Adam letting out a moan as her fingers gripped the head of his shaft, rubbing the tip and spreading the precum around. "Oh god...fu..."
"Let me know if I'm doing this right," the sniper purred in a low voice. Adam could barely think straight as his head swam, hips moving slightly with each stroke. Since when did the shy, naïve Sio Ogura know how to give a handjob so well? 'Don't tell me she had a boyfriend before this...? No, somehow I don't think so...' A quick learner then, or maybe it was due to something innate with her e-gene?
"It seems like you're enjoying it, in any case..."
"Uhn...y-yeh, your hands feel...amazing," Adam was panting now, the pulsing in his core increasing as he felt himself get closer to the edge. "Nng...fuck...I'm gonna—hnng—soon..." His boxers were already stained with precum, but it was too late to stop and strip—not that he wanted to stop any time soon.
'Whoa, his face...I've never seen that expression before...' Sio felt like she was in a trance of sorts; just earlier she'd been super embarrassed about forgetting a shirt, and now not only was she sitting half-naked, but earnestly stroking her boyfriend's erect penis to get him off. His length was incredibly hot; an interesting combination of being velvety soft to the touch, yet (as everybody said) stiff when she gripped it. She felt her own loins pulsing to life again, as Adam's cock twitched more and more the faster she moved her hand. He was panting as if he was running a marathon, cheeks bright red as he grit his teeth, trying to keep his voice down. It was rather cute, seeing him earnestly trying to maintain some semblance of calm, yet every time she squeezed just a little tighter or rubbed a certain way, that mask would drop and she would see his true self-the one that completely gave into this pleasure she was giving him. It was also kind of erotic, actually. Before she knew it her free hand dipped into her own panties, stroking her clit as the heat simmered up in her belly.
"M-Mnn...oh god, ah—S, Sio—! I'm, it's—!" The sniper watched wide-eyed as Adam started trembling all over, eyes squeezed shut as he let out a low moan. Something hot, almost burning started slipping through her fingers, Sio pulling back in shock as it oozed out; a thick, creamy liquid that stained through the fabric. She watched in awe as Adam took over, stroking himself through to completion while she rubbed his semen between her fingers. The whitish liquid spilled all over his hand as he stilled at last, gasping and heaving. "Oh god, fuck...holy shit that felt amazing..."
Sighing, Adam leaned back against the headboard, catching his breath as the high slowly settled. Every muscle in his body was completely limp, his mind still hazy so the realization that they'd basically just had their first sexual experiences together didn't hit as hard as it probably would have. In any case, while it certainly wasn't as romantic or passionate as his fantasies, it was still wonderful. To finally be able to touch her and do all the intimate things he'd wished for, together...
"Um, Adam? Here, do you want to...clean it up?" He opened one eye to Sio offering a tissue, before realizing the mess from his orgasm was still evident.
"Oh, sorry 'bout that...shit, I'm sorry I made a mess on your sheets...I'll help you get those changed out." Guiltily he wiped up his spunk, though in the corner of his eye he swore he saw Sio lick some off her fingers. Jesus christ...this girl...
"It's okay, I mean it's not like this is our permanent residence anyway...but, thanks, Adam." She blushed slightly as they finally wiped up everything, including her own mess. His cum had tasted interesting—salty, which she was not expecting, but it wasn't disgusting, either. "Um, so...did I do that right? I-I mean, I was just...I, um, i-it's not like I did any research or anything but sometimes you can't help but hear things from other people or see it in magazines—"
Adam cut her off with a single finger. "Well, t'be honest you could've fooled me; it felt amazing, seriously..." Sio muttered an 'oh,' turning a bit pink. "You always continue to impress me, Sio..."
"Ah...A, Adam..." Her cheeks flushed with pleasure, glad that she could make him feel as good as he did for her. "Th, that makes me really happy to hear...b-but, you...your fingers felt so good, too. I mean, you were just rubbing the outside of my underwear and I...c, came from just that..."
Both of them blushed a bit from her words. If it had felt that good just from the outside, what if she convinced Adam to finger her directly... Before she could broach that suggestion though, the door clicked open downstairs, and Jess and Mahesh's voice could be faintly heard echoing up.
"Oh bollocks, they're back—I'll go down first, you tidy up and come down when you're ready, yeh?" Adam flung his shirt and pants back on before sprinting down the stairs, Sio frantically looking for a clean t-shirt and making sure to hide any last evidence of their time together before slowly descending the stairs.
"You two wouldn't believe the lines! You'd the think the pandemic was over or something," the blonde complained as they unloaded the cartons. "You'd better appreciate all this..."
"O-Of course, Jess. Seriously, you guys did great. Otsukaresama..." Sio made certain to sit next to her, instead of Adam. Better not to rouse any suspicions... Next to her, Mahesh was already opening his mango sorbet, his usually slicked-back hair falling in his face from the heat.
"Thank god we'll be out of here soon...and hopefully away from this heat. Well, here's your rocky road, Sio-chan—I'm curious what you'll think of it. Oh, and since you didn't really specify, Adam, we just got you French vanilla."
The silver-haired man shrugged, before taking a bite. "Mn, vanilla's fine with me. Sometimes, you just can't go wrong with the classics..."
As the sun continued to shine outside, the four members of the Second Platoon sat in a comfortable silence, enjoying their cooling treats. It was too hot to cook, so they'd decided on indulge on fancy takeout from a local Thai place, to go along with their Netflix marathon tonight—the entire Back to the Future trilogy, as voted by group consensus. The rocky road was good; smooth, dark chocolate peppered with swirls of marshmallow and chunks of almonds... The ice cream did wonders to mitigate the heat, though her little 'session' with Adam also did a lot to finally quell that odd, restless tension that had been building up between them. And then tasty food for dinner along with a movie night... Sighing, Sio vowed to just enjoy things as they were, right now.
