Behind These Violet Eyes
By Major Mike Powell III and YuriChan220
Kitagawa Marin can't help but let her smile, already big and dazzling all that gaze upon her, from curling her lips upwards as she approaches the lovely abode of her best friend, the most precious, most breath-takingly beautiful young woman she has ever laid eyes on.
Marin has an amazing day ahead planned for she and her most darling friend. She spent a whopping two hours the night prior deciding on their activities today...totally something a great friend would do for another.
'She makes my heart race and I can't stop thinking about her lately! Wonder why...? I mean, I'm not complaining, but I've been thinking more about her than what my next cosplay will be...uuuugh, that's enough out of you, brain. Not now! Gotta focus!'
Marin slaps her cheeks, feeling a bit like they hurt from the huge, goofy smile she doesn't realize she has on her face as the house of her most precious, most beloved friend comes into view.
'...whoa. Where did that come from? Girl, I'm sorry, what? Brain, knock that off!' Marin chastizes her brain and its intrusive thoughts regarding her precious friend, for whom her heart races and who she just can't stop thinking about. Totally normal behavior for friends as beautiful as her. 'Gyarus operate differently! Yeah, that's why!'
Marin playfully slaps her cheeks as she reaches her destination. She stands in front of the door, and she follows the instructions that her friend's forever-17-year-old mother gave her a few days prior.
"Don't even knock, sweetie! Use the spare key under the rock next to the potted plants next to the welcome mat~!" Are her words, and the blonde aspiring professional cosplay gyaru's eyes turn to the rock next to the entrance. She squats down, lifts it and yup, sure enough, the key is there.
Marin picks it up, opens the door, calling out, "Excuse meee! I'm here~! Shy Babyyyy, where are youuu?!" She sing-songs, her voice cheerful and full of energy.
"The living room, sweetie~!" Marin follows the voice of the household's forever-young matriarch, and she skips around the corner to say hi, yet the second that she peeks her pretty blonde head around the corner to enter the living room, she freezes, her face still with a smile yet inside her, something dawns on her.
"Hey Marin-chan~!" Shuuko Komi waves with a friendly, lovely smile, sitting on the couch with a cup of tea in one hand and a hand on her daughter's shoulder as Shouko Komi sits next to her beautiful mother, clearly having been in an interesting conversation with her elder before Marin arrived.
Komi-san turns to see Marin enter the living room...and the way that the sun comes in through the window behind the couch where she and her mother sit...and the way that her gorgeous almond-shaped violet eyes gaze at her gyaru best friend, the young woman that helped her open a world of possibilities, the possibility of making amazing friends...
For Marin, it's like time slows down to a crawl, and she can hear her own heart in her ears.
'...when did Shy Baby's eyes get that beautiful? Why is the light behind her making her look like an angel...? I'm sorry, what.' Marin begins to sweat.
'...oh no...no, no...oh my God...no way...! Is this...Shy Baby...! Shouku-chan...! I'm in love with my best friend. I'm in love with my GORGEOUS best friend! Shy Baby, I'm in love with you! Holy shit! What, what, what do I do?! Oh nooo, Shy Baby, what have you done to me?! I love you so much...!'
While she is gushing mentally, she hears her stomach rumble loudly, making her face red as a tomato.
"Seems like you're hungry from running all the way here~" Shuuko says.
"A-am I now?" Marin sweat drops.
'I was RUNNING here?! Kill me now!'
Shouko holds up her notebook. "I'm ready when you are."
Marin sighs in relief. She needs to focus on the task at hand. "Y-yeah. That's why I came here. To pick you up!"
Shuuko chuckles. "Well then. You two better hurry. Have fun~"
Shouko hops off the couch and approaches the gyaru.
She and Marin wave to the mother and leave the house. Shuuko cups a hand to her cheek.
"So close...yet so far away~" she says to herself.
Marin turns toward the uber-shy girl, who has her signature wide eyes.
"Let's have the best day, Shouko-chan!" She says as she wraps an arm around the dark-haired girl.
Shouko just nods and looks ahead.
Later
After a train ride into town, the two of them begin exploring each and every possible area they find interesting. Marin immediately notices a clothing store and drags Shouko inside without her saying her approval, not that she can say it out loud anyways...or that she would protest to begin with. They take a look at fancy clothing, some cute clothes and even some hats to try on. Marin picks out most of the outfits, much to Shouko's dismay.
Later on, after a little window shopping, they head to a small restaurant and take a seat at a table for two. After ordering, Marin takes the time to look at Shouko again. The dark-haired beauty tucks a few locks behind her ear while sighing heavily. It was sort of difficult to speak, after all, so Marin had to order for her. But other than that, she is looking straight at the sheer beauty that is her best friend.
'Oh, my God. She's more beautiful up close' Marin thinks. 'I don't think my heart can take it!'
She shakes her head roughly and slaps her cheeks. This is supposed to be a friendly hang out. She looks up to see Shouko hold up her notebook again.
"Are you okay? You're acting kind of strange."
"Strange? No, no, no!" Marin waves her hands back and forth. "I'm not acting strange at all! You're just imagining things!"
"If you say so. If you'd like, you can try my food."
"O-oh! I'd love to!" Marin replies. "I'd happily do that! All for you!"
Shouko nods and puts away her notebook, quiet as a mouse.
When their food arrives, Shouko cuts into the steak she ordered and holds it up to Marin. The blonde blushes.
'W-wait! I had no idea she meant THIS kind of sharing!? What is this!? Is this what they call…indirect kissing!?'
Shouko just nods. Marin swallows hard and opens her mouth, allowing Shouko to feed her.
Marin swallows the steak. She feels like she went to Heaven and back. She sighs with bliss as Shouko focuses on her meal.
"Shouko-chaaaan~" Marin swoons.
Shouko's wide eyes look at Marin, snapping the blonde out of it. She looks at her uneaten food.
"R-right! I should eat! Sorry!"
She digs right in while Shouko just chuckles.
After paying for the food, Marin and Shouko head out to explore a bit more.
But the more time Marin is spending with Shouko, the more her heart beats for her. During their hangout, Shouko is acting assertive this time, pointing to some goodies in some shops, wanting to buy this and that and then wanting to window shop once more. Marin doesn't know how much more her heart can take. It's unbearable.
"I'm having fun. But...are you?"
"Eh? Wh-what do you mean?" Marin asks.
Shouko jots it down again. "You've been beet red ever since we started. I wonder if you are sick or something."
"Come on, Shouko-chan! Don't be like that~!" Marin pats her best friend's back. "I'm perfectly fine! Just...having some thoughts that's all~!"
Shouko jots something down again. "Then, would you mind if we took one more detour?"
Marin's smile comes back in full with a cute head tilt and closed eyes. She stands in front of Komi-san and takes her hands in hers, moving them up and down excitedly.
"Oh yeah! Absolutely! Anywhere you want, Shy Baby~! I'll follow you, always, always!" The gyaru says with a tender gaze after opening her eyes again, absolutely delighting in the gentle dusting of pink on her beloved best friend's pale, smooth cheeks.
Komi-san nods and then, she and Marin leave the shopping district, finding their hands held between them, and Marin can't help it. Along the path to their next destination, the blonde intertwines her fingers with her beloved friend...and as expected, she gets a bug-eyed look from Shouko...yet the black-haired beauty doesn't even try to pull away. In fact, even after the POMPH! of her kitty ears popping on the top of her head, Komi-san finds herself squeezing Marin's hand holding hers.
'I love you so much, Shy Babyyy~!' Marin gives another giga watt smile.
Soon after, the ladies find themselves standing at the city pier next to the beach, side by side, standing on a slightly isolated portion of the pier, so there's barely anyone nearby to look at or interrupt their peaceful moment here, as they stand on the wooden planks, looking at the beautiful, calm ocean, enjoying the gentle wind and the call of the seagulls flying about in this area.
"Haaah, feels nice~! The sea breeze is awesome, the sun shining...mmm! Heehee!" Marin even gets in a nice stretch, and Shouko could swear that she's noticing something...black and yellow...under the regular stylized school uniform Marin is wearing.
"...yes..." Shouko says, softly, so, so very softly. Marin takes a second to let it sink in.
"...did you just-? Shouko-chan, oh my goodness!" Marin gasps and she grabs Komi-san's hands in hers. "Ohhh, say more, please, for me~! I-" Then, the blonde freezes again.
'...oh no, what. Did my Shy Baby get even MORE BEAUTIFUL now?!' Marin starts to sweat again, looking closely at Komi-san, seeing how the light of the sun in the sky caresses her pale features, her absolutely beautiful eyes in their natural almond shape gazing back at her, and the way that the gentle sea breeze makes Komi-san's silky, long ebony tresses flutter and sway gracefully, some locks caressing her cheek...Marin's heart races again.
'...to Hell with it…'
"Now or never..." Marin says to herself, yet her dearest friend easily hears her. Marin's beautiful, exotic ruby eyes flutter shut and she gently squeezes Shouko's hands in hers.
"Shy Baby...Shouko-chan...Shouko-chan, Shouko-chan!" She says, relishing in her name on her tongue, psyching herself up. Her best friend too starts to feel her heart begin to race at the intensity in Marin's voice and then, the sheer intensity in her gaze when she opens her eyes, gazing deep into the beautiful violets of Komi-san's eyes.
"I love you! I'm in love with you, Shouko-chan! I love you like you have no idea! Please...please, be mine! Be my girlfriend, Shouko-chan!" Marin proclaims passionately, from the bottom of her heart, her beautiful voice thick with emotion and determination.
Shouko gasps, audibly. A seagull calls out in the sky above them, a gentle breeze makes the two's silky tresses sway. Shouko's eyes glimmer and so too do Marin's beautiful rubies.
"...Marin...chan..." She shifts her hands within the gyaru's grip, now finding their palms flat against each other, their fingers intertwining so easily.
"Yes... yes. I...I love you too...Marin-chan...I love you so...so much too...thanks to you...thanks to you, I live a life...I never thought...I could. You're amazing...you're so amazing to everyone...and to me...you helped me make friends...you changed my life...and I know I need you to...keep changing it...Marin-chan..." Shouko finds herself moving a hand off of Marin's to curl it on her own chest, right over her racing heart.
There are tears prickling Marin's eyes. Her smile is wider than ever before, it's absolutely dazzling and Shouko knows she wants to see that smile every single day from now on.
"...yes...yes! Yes, yes! Yeah, Shouko-chan! That's my Shy Baby~! Oh my God!" Marin then lunges forward to grab Komi-san, wrap her arms around her shoulders and the two's beautiful, soft, pink lips become pressed so sweetly together in their First Kiss, with Komi-san immediately cupping Marin's soft, blushing cheeks, a tear of joy slipping from her long eyelashes and gliding down her cheek and onto Shouko's fingers there.
The kiss feels so good. So blissful. None of them want it to end just yet. They embrace one another, deepening the kiss and tilting their heads to get a better angle. Their lovely hair sways from the light wind again as they kiss. Once they pull away, Marin tenderly caresses Shouko's cheek and giggles.
"Ehehe! Wow! What a first kiss that was~!" the blonde says. "But...you should know that we have to keep it even~"
"Eh...?"
"I'm going to make YOUR heart racing after making mine race so damn much!" Marin points her finger, making Shouko's bug eyes appear again. "You'll take responsibility, won't you~?"
"EEK!"
"I'll make it so that you have no chance of looking away from me~" Marin winks. "Let's go to your place again. It's getting dark~"
Shouko just nods, her bug-eyes remaining in place.
Later
"Shouko-chan~! Marin-chan! How was-"
Shuuko doesn't get to finish when the lovely couple run up the stairs and into Shouko's room, closing the door behind them. Shuuko just giggles.
"Looks like they finally hooked up~" she says to herself with a smile.
Meanwhile, in Shouko's room, the dark haired beauty sits on her knees while Marin stands in front of her bed.
"Nice and slow now~" Marin says. "I want to make you look at me more and more~ While you weren't looking, I did...a biiit of shopping, heehee!"
She unbuttons her shirt, slowly and steadily. Shouko's bug-eyes remain as she leans a bit closer. She's curious to see those large jugs of hers. And then...she notices a black bra with yellow flowers on it.
Shouko's cat ears pop on her head, nodding as a signal for Marin to keep going. The gyaru slowly keeps on stripping, revealing her bra fully and then unzips her skirt. She confidently tosses it aside and then takes off her shoes to put on strapped high heels. Shouko squeaks in excitement, pumping both fists and her kitty ears pop out again and twitch.
Once the "transformation" is complete, she shows off her sexy bikini body to her new lover.
It's like a private modeling show. Shouko watches Marin do different poses. Her hands on her hips, giving them a sexy sway this way and that, bending down to show off her bikini-clad breasts and her signature toothy grin. She then spins around, having her long hair sway and bending over to show off her beautiful black bottoms-clad butt. She then stands up and does some sexy struts toward her. Her long, white sexy legs and cute feet clad in lovely high heels. Shouko's face goes bright red.
Marin giggles, knowing that her plan is working. Shouko's heart is surely to burst. The blonde straightens up and flips her hair fabulously as she turns toward the bed. She plops down on it, and lies on her side. She playfully tugs on her side tie panties with a smile. Her sexy thick legs bent at the knees, parallel to each other. Shouko squeaks again.
Marin chuckles. "I guess that did it huh~?" She hops off the couch and helps up her lover. "Did it work~? Did I make your heart race?"
Shouko looks at her with her BEAUTIFUL almond shaped eyes this time. She doesn't need words to give her the answer. Instead, she takes Marin's wrist and guides it to put her palm on her breast.
Marin blushes heavily, gasping in surprise.
Even despite the outer layers of clothing Komi-san is wearing, Marin can feel it. She can feel the racing heartbeat under her beloved best friend, now even better girlfriend's soft, perfect chest.
"Oh Shy Baby...here~" The bikini gyaru then gently grabs Shouko's hand that's gently caressing Marin's forearm, and then she guides that hand onto her own bikini-clad chest so that the ebony-haired girl herself can feel the blonde's own heart, still beating rapidly with indescribable joy.
"Marin-chan...your...heart...racing for me..." Komi-san gazes at Marin, beautiful violet eyes gazing deep into ruby.
"Yeah, Shouko-chan. For you. Nobody but you, darling~" She coos sweetly and then, the two young women's lips come together in a sweet, gentle, tender kiss.
It's sweet, unhurried, innocent. Their eyes gently fluttering shut, pulling away slightly, then coming together again for more.
Soon, however, as expected, the two girls feel the need for more, so in a flash, the bikini gyaru blonde is on top of Komi-san, with the ebony-haired girl happily lying flat on her back on the bed, her hands caressing Marin's exposed back and her hip, then her thigh, soft and smooth and thick, while Marin caresses Shouko's cheek and jawline as their tongues become sweetly intertwined half-way in each other's mouths.
However, the two know that any activities of the more intimate kind are more suited for another time. They both know that the time for that will come, but not today.
Marin and Shouko eventually pull away, a thin string of saliva joining their bottom lips, and then they just lie on their sides, their hands intertwined between their bodies.
"Shouko-chan...~"
"Marin-chan…"
They gently press their foreheads and nuzzle each other's noses, a soft, small but meaningful smile curling Shouko's sweet lips upward.
Later on, the two young ladies in love lie on their beds in their homes, typing away on their smartphones, having a nice, long chat about everything and nothing, night long since taking over.
"God, Shy Baby. I can't even...I'm still smiling! I love you so much~!" Marin types, speaking outloud as she does so.
"Thank you, Marin-chan. I love you too. I have a lot to learn, I'm sure. Let's learn about love together. And...yes. I'm smiling too. I'm so happy." Komi-san types back, even adding a simple but meaningful heart emoji.
"Ohhh that's awesome! So happy to hear it! Glad I could do that for you, Shouko-chan. Yeah! Together! Also, can you give me like, 2 minutes? BRB" Marin types as she has an indescribable urge.
"Sure, Marin-chan. I'll be here." Her new girlfriend replies, and then, Marin, keeping a straight, calm face, puts her phone on her nightstand next to her bed...and then she grabs a pillow.
Marin puts her face on the pillow while rolling on her belly, with muffled screams of, "OH, MY GOD! WE'RE GIRLFRIENDS! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH, SHY BABYYYY! I'M SO HAPPYYYY!" coming from her with sheer joy.
After getting that out of her system, she rolls back up and types on her phone, "I'm back. God, I needed that. Welp, it's getting late. I need to get some shut eye. Good night, Shy Baby~"
"Good night, Marin-chan. I love you."
"I love you, too, Shy Baby!"
And when that is all said and done, Shouko puts the phone down and looks out the window. The neatly lit moon shining down. Shouko smiles a small smile.
