Chapter 29

I walk into the suite, the wind blowing at my t-shirt. I hear Yu following in behind me, his weight causing a sudden creak to erupt from the carpeted floor. I cringe and expect it to cause the others to awaken, but the snores continue to rumble from each bed. I sigh in relief, crashing down onto the soft mattress of the bed. Yu unzips his suitcase carefully, removing an outfit. I look up, trying to spot a swimsuit. I...don't. Spot one...?

Me: How come you're not gonna wear a swimsuit?

Yu: Don't you remember?

Then it dawns on me. We're leaving today. I collapse into the pillows, groaning. I roll over onto the floor, grunting as I hit the floor, hard. I hear some grumbling and shifting of covers, and I tilt my head up to see Naoto has awakened. Yu shuts the bathroom door behind himself, as he goes to change. I flash the sleepy Naoto a grin.

Me: Morning...

She offers me a small wave, rubbing her eyes. She has some SERIOUS bed-head, and I cover my mouth to stifle my laugher. She rubs her head, tilting her head with confusion. That's when I can't hold it in any longer. I burst out laughing --- near screaming before slapping a hand over my mouth. I totally forgot that everyone else was asleep. I hear the others start grumbling, waking up from the sudden noise.

Kanji: What the hell...? Why'd you wake us up...?

Then Kanji looks over at Naoto, who is cuddled up closely to him, spooning, if you'd like to call it that. He yelps, then tries to scoot away, awkwardly. Then Naoto shoots him a glare, and grabs him by the arm and pulls him back in towards her.

Naoto: You're warm--uh...Kanji, what's poking me---

She yelps, realizing what's going on, scooting away from him. Kanji's nose starts to run red, and he cups a hand under it to prevent it from dripping on the sheets. Naoto's face is red, her eyes wide and afraid. It's like she's never heard of the word "penis" before.

Me: Sorry! Sorry guys!

Rise: It's...okay. We gotta wake up anyways...

I look away, feeling like a total ass. It can't be past 7:30, and I doubt any of them are ready to be awake. I grab a sundress, the exact one I wore on the day I came to Inaba, and a bra as well as a fresh towel from the suite's linen closet. I sigh, slamming open the bathroom door. Oh shit, I think as I realize who's in the bathroom. As I slam through the doors, my thoughts blurt out of my mouth and my face goes red. Yu's standing next to the shower, waiting for it to warm up, and he's NAKED. I scream, slamming the door. His eyes were wide, like a deer who's been caught in the middle of an intersection. His face was bright red with embarrassment. Oh Jesus.

Me: Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit! I'm sooo sorry!!!

I cover my eyes, trying to sort-of-unsee that. I know that like, I'm his girlfriend and all, but we've only been going out for less than a day...so...Yeah...That's awkward. I hear Yu grumble from behind the door.

Yu: It's okay, it's okay. Just pretend that didn't happen.

To me, it sounded more like he was consoling himself more that comforting me. I flush with embarrassment as the group stares at me.

Chie: Good job. That...Was bad.

Me: Shuttup! It was an accident, damnit!

Rise: Yeah, you couldn't tell anyone was in there when THE SHOWER WAS RUNNING.

Me: Just...Stop...Please? It was an accident.

I start to whisper softly, knowing that I'm not the only embarrassed person in the crowd.

Kanji: Guys, leave 'er alone. If it was an accident, it was an accident...Just stay out of it.

I hear scattered mumbled apologies from around the room, and I slip down onto the carpeted floor beside the bed, sighing. I run a hand through my messy hair, trying not to think about what just happened.

9 a.m.

I slowly turn on the shower, clicking the lock on the door closed. I wait for the water to warm up. Yu took forever, taking up all the hot water, it seems. I sigh, dipping my body through the curtains into the showering area, letting the lukewarm water hit my back, massaging it. I pour shampoo into my hair, starting to make foam with it in my hands. I rub it into my hair, closing my eyes as the product runs down my forehead. I catch it in my fingertips, rubbing it into my scalp. I hear a soft knock at the door.

Yu: Hey. I wanna talk. Can I...Come in...?

Me: Yu...I'm in the shower.

Yu: Sasha, there's a curtain. I'm not gonna see an inch of you.

Me:  Fine.

I twirl my hand, using the magic I've been practicing, even here, and I hear the door click unlocked. The door swings open, creaking slightly, then Yu locks it behind himself. 

Yu: So... about earlier...

I pour soap into my hands, spreading the soap all around my body, the suds running down the drain. I rinse my body off, clicking open the conditioner's cap.

Me: Yeah...

Yu: Look...I get that it was an accident...and I don't think you should beat yourself up over it.

I scoff, rolling my eyes.

Me: Yu...I totally saw your dick, your everything. Do you understand that we've only been dating for not even a day? How awkward it is?

Yu: I realize that. But people make mistakes. I honestly don't care. Just pretend it didn't happen.

Me: Can I be honest with you and just say something...?

I can tell Yu is cautious, trying to detect my next move. I hear his thoughts racing a mile a minute, almost making me dizzy just hearing all of them. I decide to continue on.

Me: Yu...I'm a very sexually--not active, per-say, but--

Yu: I know. Trust me, I know.

Me: What do you mean...?

Yu: You have NO IDEA how hard it is to control myself, be mild-mannered, and polite when I'm around you. I just have control issues I guess...

Me: I can understand that.

Yu: You...can?

Me: Of course. There's some times in, say...class where I almost can't contain myself I just wanna kiss you...or something...I guess.

Yu: Something being fucking?

I can tell he's blushing...And he goes absolutely silent.

Yu: Well, say something.

Me: You knew what I meant. Whatever, Yu. Just--whatever. Just pretend I didn't say anything. I'm getting out now. You might wanna leave.

Yu: Okay.

I hear him unlock the door, moving briskly out the door and shutting it behind him. I sigh, shutting off the water. Even through the door and walls, I still hear muffled arguments. I hear Yu yelling something, and laughing ended abruptly with yelling and the slamming of the balcony door. I wince at the noise.

As I wrap the towel around my body, I shiver as the open window blows cold morning air into the room. A cold drop of water rolls down the waves of my hair, dripping onto my breast, the rolling off, and onto the cold tile surface. I shiver as I slip out of the heavy, wet towel. I slip into black panties, the material riding up quickly, as soon as I slip it on. I put on a small black lacy push-up bra on, pushing the clasp shut quickly. I snap the little straps up onto the bridge between my neck and shoulders, tightening my bra all the way. I wince as the increased pressure causes the strap on my shoulder to dig into the soft flesh. I slip into the sundress, putting on a black lacy overcoat on to match it. It's entirely see-through, but it makes my straps look less noticeable. Plus, it matches with my undergarments. I slide my mother's old blue sapphire ring onto my pointer finger, it still fitting noticeably well even after all the weight loss.

I sigh, brushing my hair, teeth, and doing my makeup. I feel tears billowing up in my eyes. I feel like such an idiot. I let the hot tears slide out of my eyes, relieving the embarrassment and horror that's been eating me up inside. I clutch the sides of the sink, sobbing. I'm glad I hadn't touched my eyes with makeup, otherwise I'd be an amazingly hot mess. 

I hear the door squeak behind me, and Naoto rushes in, her motherly-like arms wrapping around me. She coos me, shushing my sobs that wrack through my body. 

Naoto: Shh...Shh...It's okay, Sasha. It was a mistake. It was just an accident.

Me: Naoto, you don't get it! I've ruined everything! There's times I wonder if the time where things like that'll be amazing and I'll be able to do things like that and not make it awkward and-

Naoto presses a finger to my lips, shushing my panicked rambles. She holds me tighter, afraid if she lets go, that I'll crumble to pieces. I take a deep breath, it catching in my throat. I can't hold it in any longer. I sob freely into Naoto's shoulder, sobs making my frame shake violently. She coos me, shutting the door. Before she does, I see worried and guilty looks on everyone's faces.

Naoto: Shhh...Stop crying, please...Shh...

I feel hot tears of pure emotion, sadness mixed with embarrassment and horror wracking through me and escaping out of my eyes and into Naoto's thin nightshirt. I hear her whisper reassurances into my hair, trying to calm me down.

I cry until I can cry no more, until my eyes hurt, until my vision is so blurry I can't see anything at all. I hold Naoto tightly, trying to keep myself upright. I feel that if I don't, I'll just fall. Sasha, cut the shit. You might be on your period, but this shit is stupid and childish. Get ahold of yourself, I think to myself. I nod along with my thoughts, taking a confident, deep breath. This time, it doesn't catch. I hold my head up high, sniffling. I wipe the tears from my eyes, smiling.

Me: Naoto...Thanks. I'll be okay now. Don't worry.

Naoto: You sure...?

She pulls me away from her slowly, staring deep into my eyes. I flash her a confident smile, and she smiles back. She turns around, opening the door, and lets herself out. 

After I apply my makeup, I follow her, my dirty clothes in hand. Everyone in the room stares directly at me, and I offer them all a wave and a bright smile. They all wave back, enthusiastic and giddy.

Me: Anyone up for going down to the breakfast bar downstairs?

Everyone nods, cheering for food. Some of the girls rush to the bathroom, shutting the door behind them. They hurriedly apply makeup and change clothes, not wanting to hold us up. When the door busts open, Yosuke, Teddie, and Kanji's jaws all drop. All the girls look to-die-for gorgeous. Without trying. I see Naoto in the corner, wearing something far skimpier than she would've ever worn before. She's wearing short-shorts, which cling to her amazing curves, and a cute tank top that dips almost MY STANDARD LOW! I gasp, mocking shock as I cover my mouth and rush over to her. 

Me: Oh, Naoto! You're growing up so fast!

She laughs, throwing her head back. It's then that I realize how long her hair's been growing. Now, it's nearing her chest. I stare, taken aback by how much she's actually changed since I moved. Then I look at myself. I suck in a breath. I look...Amazing. Better than I would've before taking a shower. My soaked hair drips water onto the sundress, the tiny overcoat not giving me any warmth. My feet are bare, because I have yet to put on matching heels. I can tell my makeup looks good too, because everyone, guys and girls alike, are staring at me. I whip around, plopping down onto the bed. The awkward silence is broken when Yosuke grins, and yet again, says something stupid.

Yosuke: You guys look hot! Like...wow!

Kanji: I gotta agree, you guys look pretty good.

        As I look to Yu to say something, he glances away. I sigh, and then keep up this happy facade. I run over to Kanji and Yosuke, tackling them and wrapping them in a big hug.

Me: Aw, thanks guys!

I grin,  then pull away so I can slip my feet into the small heels. They're much shorter than the ones I've worn previously on this trip, giving my ankles a much-needed relief. As I clip my right heel closed, I sigh and stand to my full height. I stride over to the door, readying my suite key card.

Me: We ready?

Rise: Yeah, let's go!

~You can totally notice my slight changes, especially with Naoto's and Kanji's reaction to them cuddling. Haha! That was so fun to write, and trust me, I have had that feeling when spooning, and Dear Lord is it awkward...
