Mahiru sighed as she set her clothes into the locker and closed it, making her way towards the door to the bath.
Their class had taken a field trip, and while Mahiru usually liked getting the chance to hang out with her classmates, they were a bit…much sometimes. She was ready to go into the bath and relax by herself for a bit. So, she opened the door, stepped out, and found…
Hajime. Looking at her. While she was…completely naked.
Hajime froze immediately and gaped. He stared at Mahiru's face for a few seconds, before his face quickly flushed crimson and shouted in surprise "AAAAH!!!"
"AHHHHHHHHHHH! WH-WH-WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN THE WOMEN'S BATH?!?!" Mahiru shouted, quickly covering herself up as her face exploded into a bright red.
Hajime shook his head quickly, trying his hardest to keep his eyes at Mahiru's face "THIS-THIS IS A SHARED BATH!!! I WOULDN'T HEAD INTO THE WOMAN'S BATH INTENTIONALLY!!!"
"I-" Mahiru paused. "W-wait…it's a…mixed bath?"
Hajime took a few deep breaths to collect his thoughts from his fluster, internally, he felt guilty for lying to Mahiru, but only continued, with a calmer yet still shaky voice "Y-Yes…this is a shared bath. I was only surprised to see you."
"O-oh…u-um…" Mahiru now had a conundrum. She'd basically called him a pervert without even realizing that she'd come into a shared bath, and she felt guilty. She also felt like she should turn and leave right then and there, but…she really wanted to relax. But…relaxing naked with a boy…and Hajime of all people…? "I-if I…st-stay…will you please…not…look at me?"
Hajime silently swallowed before nodding. He could feel his heart beating faster, his face continuing to burn, the thought of also wishing Mahiru stayed as well. "Y-Yes…yes, I promise I won't look, Mahiru."
Mahiru nodded, and started creeping towards the large bath Hajime was resting in. Before she could stop herself, her eyes flitted down below his belly, but the steam obscured anything. Immediately her eyes shot back to his face, and she felt her own face turn even brighter at her own shame. Still covering herself, she crept into the water, and quickly dunked her entire body under up to her neck, on the opposite end of the bath.
Hajime's eyes darted away from Mahiru as she approached, yet despite his promise earlier, he couldn't resist moving his eyes back to Mahiru's form when her attention was diverted away from him. Hajime bit his lower lip gently trying to suppress the thought of continuing to sneak more peeks in case Mahiru saw, the thought of sharing a bath with a girl through his lie eating at him.
"S-sooo…" Mahiru said awkwardly. "You…got tired of them, too?"
Hajime nodded with a shaky smile forced through his emotions "Yes…I came here to try and find some relaxation, away from the troubles and the others." He then paused, the realization of what he said struck him "B-but it's okay that you're here with me!"
Mahiru giggled, which surprised her, and in a brief moment, she raised herself above the water, showing a tiny hint of her breasts before she dropped back down, blushing. "Me too. You're…probably the most tolerable one."
Hajime bit his lip again harder, but the crease on his lip wasn't enough to be noticeable from across the bath and with the steam. He tried his best to focus only on Mahiru's eyes, but couldn't help and notice her breasts lifted slightly above the surface, forcing him into silence for an awkward moment. Taking all his willpower to respond without a stammer, "I-I think you're very tolerable, and enjoyable to be around as well, Mahiru. It's why I'm…happy you're here, with me."
"Hehehehehehe…" Mahiru found herself giggling at the comment, and, trying not to look suspicious, she slowly inched herself around the edge of the pool a bit and cleared her throat. "So…have you ever been to one of these before?"
Hajime shook his head and crossed his right leg over his left, pressing his thigh against his crotch to suppress himself getting slightly hard, hearing the adorable giggle on top of the sight previously "No, this is actually my first time in a mixed bath…sharing a bath with any female."
"Mine too, though I doubt that's a big surprise, huh." Mahiru said as she kept moving slightly closer, wondering if he would notice. Despite her previous shame, she was still trying to take a peek under the slightly clear water, and when he seemed to shift his legs, she swore she saw a brief hint of something pink that made her shudder. "A-are you…embarrassed at all?"
Hajime failed to notice Mahiru continuously getting closer due to only trying to handle his own embarrassment. Thus, when confronted, Hajime accidentally sputtered "Y-Y-Yes…I'm quite embarrassed but-" clearing his throat, he continued "It's also…an experience."
Mahiru paused. "Experience?"
"Yes…sharing a bath with a female…it feels…embarrassing but also refreshing. I've never done it before, so now we both know how it feels." Hajime looked back at Mahiru with a little smile, but was then forced to slide his leg against his crotch further, feeling it grow harder some more.
Mahiru hadn't realized she'd been moving up as she became curious as to what he meant, and she also didn't notice when her nipples popped out from the water. "Isn't this…every man's fantasy though?"
Hajime was silent for a moment, his eyes trailed down for just a second to take an eyeful of Mahiru's nipples now above the water before quickly shooting back up at the photographer's face "M-M-Maybe so…but just talking and relaxing like this has its own merit, right?"
"I guess. And if it's with you…" She looked down, and her eyes went wide as she saw her nipples. She shrieked and dove back under the water, and looked over at Hajime. "D-DID…DID YOU?!"
Fortunately, Hajime's eyes were at Mahiru's face when she noticed and looked back, hence he could provide a liable defense if not still a flustered one "N-NO!!! NO! I DIDN'T LOOK!!!"
Mahiru glared at him, and then sighed. "Sorry…you're…a good guy, aren't you?"
Hajime nodded, his guilt from now two lies eating away at him, but he similarly exhaled in relief that Mahiru believed him "Y-Yes…But it's okay, I'm not hurt." As now, it was Hajime's turn to slide a little closer to Mahiru, being unable to resist his urge to get closer to her now.
Mahiru noticed right away and stayed silent as she also sidled closer. "Do you…know who convinced Miss Yukizome to allow you on this trip?"
Hajime shook his head, he didn't have an idea who it was.
Mahiru paused. "It…was me."
Hajime was stunned. Mahiru? Mahiru convinced Chisa to allow him to come? But… "Why?" Hajime asked, looking back over to Mahiru.
"You've…become a great friend to Chiaki. And by extension…all of us. I knew she wouldn't be able to ask her, so…I did it for her." Mahiru looked down at the water, seeing the outline of her nude body, and once again laughed at the odd situation as she turned back to Hajime, and, just barely, lifted herself out of the water, just enough to show him her breasts a bit. "And…I really wanted you here. With us. With…me."
Hajime was silent. He was moved, feeling his body grow warmer than it was throughout his time in the bath. A smile grew upon his face, yet despite his fluster, he followed Mahiru's example, standing up so now they were only a few feet apart from each other, he then took a clear step closer, before confidently saying: "Thank you Mahiru, for giving me this opportunity." Yet despite all that, it only made him feel worse for his lies earlier, as previously mentioned.
Mahiru gulped as she looked into Hajime's eyes, as well as looking down at his…surprisingly fit chest, and even further down to his stomach, before landing on the V of his body, where she could see…pubic hair…and just under the water…
"Hajime…?" She asked, lifting herself up above the water until her nipples were visible again. "How…do you feel about me?"
Though Hajime noticed Mahiru this time stared, he didn't seem to recoil quite as much. He took a deep breath, then took another step closer. By this point, the two of them were nearly touching, as Hajime hesitantly lifted his hands to Mahiru's sides while paying attention to her body language and expression so he knew when to stop. "Mahiru, I… I find you both gentle and beautiful, and…" his voice trailed off. He couldn't manage the words for the next part being weighed down by guilt.
"Do you…l-like…me?"
Hajime paused, he stared into Mahiru's eyes, then gave a small smile and nodded "Yes, Mahiru. I-I do."
Before Mahiru could doubt herself, she ran forward and kissed Hajime, leaping out of the water and pressing her wet, nude body against his as she wrapped her arms around his back to pull him close.
Hajime's eyes went wide as immediately he could feel himself with a full erection, pressing itself up against Mahiru while she kissed him, felt her soft breasts against his chest, but even so, he wrapped his arms around Mahiru, closed his eyes and allowed the kiss to happen at the photographer's pace and however long she liked.
It was Mahiru's first kiss, so she didn't want to push it with a French kiss or anything like that, and simply moved her arms around his back, even moving one hand down to his butt, which was surprisingly soft. She allowed herself to give it a single squeeze before moving back up. She could feel her cheeks being bright burning red as she not only felt her hard nipples and soft breasts against his chest, but also his hard cock between their bodies. Even so, she didn't let up on the kiss for what felt like minutes.
Once she did though, and pulled away for air, panting, before anything else was said or done, she spoke. "Don't…look down…"
Hajime nodded, a smile on his face having experienced his first kiss as well…but he couldn't feel settled, not yet…even if it led to despair, he had to confess, his smile had faded along with his words. "Mahiru…I…I have something to confess to you…"
"Yeah?"
Hajime paused, then shamefully said "Earlier…back when we were talking and I had promised I wouldn't look…I still did. I'm sorry." There was a moment of silence between them, Hajime couldn't look at Mahiru's face to discern her emotion, expecting her to chew him out, to hit him, to leave him there and tell the others.
Mahiru waited, but when he didn't continue, she laughed. "That's it? Well…even if that makes you a perv…I was also…looking so…I'm also a perv."
Hajime shook his head, then lifted his head again to look back at Mahiru "No, that's not all…this also…isn't a shared bath. It's…just the men's bath…" Hajime secretly and silently braced himself "I lied because I wanted you to stay with me here…"
Mahiru felt like she should've been offended, and angry, and a tiny part of her was, but… "Well…" She kissed him again, briefly, before flicking him on the forehead. "Liar. But…it led to…this, so…I suppose it isn't all that bad, right?" She gave him a smile.
Hajime blinked a few times in surprise. He wasn't sure what to say…this wasn't the reaction that he expected at all…but still, he was happier than words could express it ended this way, feeling the weight being finally taken off, Hajime nodded once more, and smiled again. "Yes… You're right."
Mahiru looked down at her feet again. "I…should get back to the others. Don't look."
Hajime nodded and kept his smile. "Yes, I won't look this time." as he took a step aside and sat down again to open the way for Mahiru to leave.
Mahiru walked over to the edge of the bath and stepped out, feeling her body immediately start to cool off. She walked towards the door, and then paused, looking back at Hajime. "Hey, Hajime?"
"Yeah?" He said, continuing to look away like she'd said.
"For the road?" She said, bending over slightly and shaking her hips, waving around her ass a bit for him. He finally looked over to see, and gasped as he saw her amazing, beautiful, flawless ass for a few moments before she quickly walked back inside, giggling. He simply stared after her for a while, before smiling to himself, and sinking himself below the water as he giggled as well.
