The heat of July could only spell one thing for the citizens of Japan. Typhoon season. Unlike the last few years, the first storm had not come ashore in May as they normally did so many were expecting the first to be rough.
Everyone in the Naoya household had been frantically running about for the last few weeks stocking supplies and getting everything they needed in case they found themselves hunkered down for a week. (Of course, everyone never remembered that Saki's mom lived right next door.)
It was midday in the third week that the storm struck. There was no sign of it in the clear blue sky and the birds never once warned of the coming storm. The two that had not left the Naoya household at its arrival found out when the rain slammed against the window and would have surely ripped away Hoshizaki Risa's tent from the side yard and down the street if they had not collapsed it and put it in the shed.
When the rain slammed into the glass window with a roar and a splatter. Minase Nagisa let out a squeal of shock, almost losing control of her phone. Mukai Naoya looked up from the table startled.
"I'm okay," the cute, dark-haired girl said. She tried to convey the calm in her large blue eyes. "The storm scared me."
"Yes," Naoya said standing and walking to the window to stare out in the backyard where heavy waves of rain created a gray veil that blocked everything. "I knew I should have insisted that Saki-chan and Mirika-san to stay home."
"They had to go to her fathers to move the last of her computer hardware," Nagisa reminded him gently resisting the urge to run her hand down his shoulder. Shino had gone home but was not expected back till tomorrow so she would not be coming either.
Inside though, she was giddy with excitement. This meant that she was going to get more alone time with her beloved Naoya! How long depended on what the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) reported. Nagisa glanced at her phone to see the three-day shelter in place push notification and giggled.
"Are you alright, Minase-san?" Naoya asked curious, his eyes watching her.
The young woman quickly schooled her face and gave him a smile and a courtesy.
"Of course, goshujinsama."
His eyes widened as she stepped back towards the stairwell.
"It has been a few months since I…wore the costume that you like," Nagisa offered, her eyes shining brightly. "The other girls being present and all. Shall I…put it on?"
"YES!"
That came out a lot more forceful than he had meant but the girl giggled and rushed up the stairs to change.
Naoya stood where Nagisa had left him thinking about the situation he was in. How he had gone from a contemptable guy who dared ask his girlfriend Saki to date another woman to having four living under his roof. It was a wild time but how he was lucky to have a chance to love so many was beyond his understanding. All he wanted to do was make them happy.
It was the clip of her hard shoes that made the young man Mukai look up from the floor he had been studying to see his second girlfriend on the stairs with a smile beaming across her face.
Nagisa wore the same maid outfit she had brought with her when she moved in months ago and he could not help but admire it. The bright sky-blue material with the white apron over top. The apron itself had frills on the shoulders and along the bottom. Her collar resting just against her ivory neck and the white stockings ran all the way up past her knees terminating just a few inches from the hem. It left a delicious strip of tantalizing skin for his imagination to feast on. Nagisa Minase filled out this maid costume quite well.
"What do you think?"
She asked that every time.
"I think you are adorable! So cute, Minase-san!"
She giggled again and did a small twirl causing the edges of the skirt to fly up to daring heights. Any higher he was going to see a lot more of the girl. The young woman skipped over to him and gripped his hands closer to her chest with a smile.
"What can I do for my master? Is there anything he'd like?"
"Well…" Naoya started, his cheeks flushing on how close the girl was.
Even after these number of months, Saki had not quite figured out how to handle the sexual part of their relationship. The illicit thought of running a hand down her back was interrupted by a bang and wet screech of the rain.
Both Nagisa and Naoya jumped and spun to face the front door that had exploded open. Standing there in a soaked crème overcoat, her hair wet from the rain even though she had an umbrella was Kiryuu Shino.
"I made it!" she beamed as she kicked of her shoes as lady like as possible and then froze seeing the two standing there. The shock melted into fury, her cheeks turning red!
"What are you two doing?! Where's Sakisaki? Minase-kun! What are you wearing?"
"Still over at Rika's," Nagisa started but Naoya cut her off.
"Nothing happened Shino-san! I promise. I may have had thoughts of running my hands down Minase-san's back and exploring but I would never have done it!"
"Mukai-kun!" Shino said with indignation though the shine in her eyes showed she was only acting. Everyone had learned (well except for Naoya) that this was mostly an air that the white-haired girl put on. They let her have it since most of her dignity had been lost a long time ago thanks to her physics defying accidents that wound up undressing her.
"Nothing was going to happen, Shino-san," Nagisa promised with an empathic nod. "This was just a little cosplay we did every week for a month or two before pigtails moved in and ruined it."
"Do you not think it's inappropriate to dress like this all by yourself? I've heard stories of master/maid relationships. It's vulgar!"
"Heard stories?" Nagisa asked sidling up to the woman who had become Naoya's third girlfriend. Shino was one the only woman that Nagisa seemed to feel confident around. The faux maid leaned forward, her bangs dangling enchantingly as she continued to speak.
"You own them and hide them under your mattress."
"Minase-Kun!"
Shino's face exploded in deep red with her violet eyes wide in horror. Her eyes darted between Naoya and the other trying to figure out how to escape this embarrassing interrogation.
"Minase-san," Naoya said kindly striding over and leading the girl a few steps away. "Shino-chan just came home and needs a breath."
Shino smiled like an idiot hearing her name. He only recently been dropping the -san and adding -chan. It took Saki a few days to stop glaring about it.
"We all know that Shino has a fascination with sex and is extremely curious," he continued, and that happy feeling died into humiliating embarrassment.
"Noooo!" She wailed reaching out to stop him from talking but her feet got tangled on the coat and umbrella on the floor and fell forward. She landed on top of Naoya and in predictable fashion found that the buttons of her shirt had popped from the wet rain and her bra covered chest was right in his face. His eyes grew wide at the white lace with green trim.
Even though Shino knew she had the smallest chest out of them all, his utter fascination with her made her excited and deeply ashamed.
"Kiryuu-chan!" Nagisa said horrified. "Stop being a pervert with our boyfriend! I'll tell Saki-san!"
"Why me?!" Shino wailed trying to cover herself and almost fell backwards. In a swift movement, Naoya caught her and held the clumsy girl close to his chest while slowly beginning to stand.
"Don't' move. I'll help you up. The floor is very slippery."
It felt like forever but not long enough. Pressed against his warm body as he held her tightly around her waist. His strong arms hefted her up and gently set her down on the dry carpet.
"Minase-san, please take Shino-chan and get her to the bath so she can warm up."
"Of course, goshujinsama!"
All but the portion of her nose and above was visible from the water line. Shino had forced herself into the water and submerged herself after Nagisa drew the bath. If it had been anything more, she probably would have tried to drown herself.
"Oh, Shino-san," Nagisa said with an amused click of her tongue. "You are such a lewd girl. You're lucky Saki-san didn't catch you."
The silver-haired girl only responded with bubbles and a glare. Yes, Shino knew she was more open to a physical relationship than the rest of the girls, but that hadn't translated very well.
Nagisa pulled out her phone while Shino continued to sit in the water, her mind racing between what had happened, what Nagisa was doing, and all the combinations.
"Nagisa-chan?" Shino said softly after lifting her head from the water.
"Hmm?"
Nagisa looked up from her phone at her friend that was in the water.
"I have a…favor to ask of you. I would owe you!"
"Yes?"
"Can…Can I play?"
Nagisa perked up and set her phone in her lap.
"Play?"
The heat returned to Shino's cheeks as she tried to maintain eye contact with the other woman.
"Maid…can I…play too?"
Shino was not quite sure what to make of the smile that played on Minase's face or the emotions that ran across her face and through her eyes.
"Ohhhhh. You want to Mukai-kun to be your master too?"
Shino's voice was too low to hear.
"What was that? Speak up!"
"Minase-san!" Shino protested her face now beet red.
"Do you have anything? Other than the maid bikini Saki-san got you?"
There was a devilish grin on Minase's face which Shino glared at. This bright, quiet, peaceful girl who was so easy going always turned into a mini version of their best friend when around Shino.
"Yes. I got it on a whim a few months ago. I…heard Naoya-kun liked cosplay."
"Then wash up and let's give goshujinsama proper service befitting of us maids!"
The typhoon was still raging while Shino had dried herself off and made her way to the room she was occupying. It was Naoya's parents' room though they were traveling so much for their job that they relented and gave it up for one of the girls.
Originally, Naoya was going to move into there but there had been such a fight about who got Naoya's old room that their boyfriend stayed put. No one else wanted to enter the parent's room so Shino took it.
It was quite spacious to the rest of the house though the young woman left her stuff in one corner so not to change the look drastically. It was still there's.
The outfit that Shino put on was most definitely a maid outfit but unlike the ones that she had seen online, the hem reached all the way down to her shoes, the cut was much more regal and the lace bountiful. Even her bonnet had the little delicate strings running down each side of her head enhancing the ribbon at the back of her hair.
When she walked out, Nagisa gasped and applauded which caused Shino to hesitate.
"You are so cute, Shino-san!"
Shino blushed.
Making their way down the stairs both girl's smiles became bigger as Naoya saw both of them.
"Shino-san!" he said breathlessly.
"Do you…like, Naoya-kun?"
"YES!"
For the next hour, each girl took turns getting the tea, straightening up the mess, sweeping, and all the other maid duties. Each blushed but ignored the obvious moments when Naoya was watching them. There was a few times that Nagisa bent over to grab something and Shino had to step in the view because the girl's skirt was beginning to ride to high. The pout on Nagisa's face told the older girl she was doing it on purpose.
"I must take care of the laundry, goshujinsama," Minase Nagisa finally said as she hauled the large container down the stairs and towards the washroom.
"Maid Shino-chan. Please make sure the master is well taken care of!"
"Of course, Maid Nagisa-chan."
With Nagisa gone, Shino turned to Naoya with her perfect smile.
"Shall I do anything for you, master?"
"Just continue looking beautiful, Shino-san!"
The deep blush that covered her face was hot but she did not cover up this time. It was just herself and her beloved Naoya.
"Oh! Cookies!" Naoya said standing completely forgetting what he was doing.
"No! Let me get those for you!"
And the two collide. Naoya was on his back while Shino had landed on top of him, straddling his hips. Of course this would happen to her!
"Shino-san! Are you alright?" He asked placing his hands around her hips to pull her off.
Shino was not sure what overtook her. Was it the fact that Nagisa would not be able to hear anything over the washing machine as she got it ready or that fact she was absolutely alone with him. She pushed her hips down making it impossible for him to pull her off.
"Shino!" he said his own face turning read. The girl began to slowly grind back and force with her hands to her chest trying to look cute.
"Is there anything goshujin-dono would like me to do for him. To…relieve any discomfort?"
Her voice came out halted and out of breath, her own heart beating hard and trying to escape her rib cage. She desperately wanted him to grab her and throw her on the couch nearby and have his way with her. Damn Saki Saki for taking so long to decide how to handle sex.
Shino leaned down pressing her lips to his own as she began to move faster, trying to tease him to the point he could not resist! She was his girlfriend! Why shouldn't she rile him up so he could not control himself. Shino wanted him to do all the embarrassing things to her like she had read in those light novels!
"Oh! I forgot to get Rika-san's laundry and-KIRYUU SHINO!"
The screech cut through the passion like a hot knife. Shino shot up, her lips and face still red form where she had been kissing her love.
Nagisa stood there, shock completely covering her face the empty laundry basket having been dropped on the floor.
"it's not what it looks like!" Shino wailed trying to stand up.
"It's EXACTLY what it looks like," Nagisa fumed. "You were trying to have your way with, our dear master!"
Nagisa marched over to the rack of magazines, took one out and began to roll it.
"Saki-san was right. You have to be watched like a hawk. Trying to be the first one to lose her virtue to our beloved master."
"Minase-san," Naoya said standing up beside Shino. "It's alright. You don't have to—"
"Did you even resist?" Nagisa demanded, her face red. "or were you going to let the little pervert have her way with you?"
"I—"
Nagisa began to advance, brandishing the loosely rolled up magazine.
"What are you doing—" Shino started but squeaked when Nagisa brought the magazine down on her ass.
"I WILL NOT be the last again," Nagisa said. "And Saki Saki told me to use the magazine if you couldn't control your hornyiness!"
The magazine did not hurt at all. What hurt was the embarrassment of not only getting caught but getting swatted by the other girl. Shino took off as fast as she could towards the stairs and Nagisa gave chase, landing a few more swats on her butt.
"If anyone gets to have sex with Naoya-kun first, IT'S ME!" Nagisa raged up he stairs after her.
Naoya watched them leave and heard the slamming and running upstairs. With a sigh, he went back to the table and to the college paperwork.
They would at this for a while.
