A/N: Sherry's never seen without her long sleeved outfits.


No matter when Aki saw Sherry, she was always wearing her purple turtleneck. Rain, shine, hail, blistering sun, it was always on. Despite this, the blonde never made any indication she was uncomfortable in it.

"I want to see what's under it..." the redhead thought out of the blue while she folded her laundry. She blushed at the thought of seeing Sherry topless. They'd walked arm in arm before and Aki could feel the dense, toned muscle that Sherry was keeping hidden. "I wonder if she has abs..."

Aki closed her eyes and tried to imagine what Sherry looked like. Her broad muscular shoulders, her back carved out of marble, her arms looking utterly shredded-

"Shit, I'm doing it again."

She really wanted to see Sherry naked, partially out of curiosity and partially because... oh screw it, she was just curious.

The next time Sherry lounged on Aki's couch, cuddling with the redhead, Aki felt the question rise up in her throat. "Can I see you naked?" It was such an embarrassing thing to ask.

"Um... Sherry?" Aki stammered. Sherry made a noise of acknowledgement, her head resting in the crook of Aki's neck. "Why are you always wearing that turtleneck sweater of yours? I never see you without it."

"I wear it because..." Sherry trailed off, a faint blush dusting her cheeks. "I feel shy about showing my body." She burrowed her face further into Aki's shoulder.

"This reaction is so cute..." Aki thought. "I shouldn't pressure her. It's wrong, after all."

"If it's you, Aki, I wouldn't mind taking off my sweater around you." Aki could feel Sherry smiling against her collarbone. "I trust you and I want to show you my body. But not today. My heart's not ready for that yet."

"Sherry, that's so sweet of you..." Aki cooed, hugging her girlfriend tighter. Becoming all the more aware of the muscle she was feeling under her hands, she felt blood rush to her face. "Luckily for us, my heart's not ready either."
