Rocking Lady
Lilisa rubbed her nose bridge, feeling the strain on her eyes. I didn’t get a wink of sleep last night. Alice kept on asking me a thousand things about Rock and then I was totally in the headspace to play and couldn’t. Is this what being blueballed is like? No, no, no, Lilisa… a lady wouldn’t say something like ‘blueballed’. “What about Feelings?”
“What band is that from?” Tina felt everyone give her side-eye yet again. She had practically asked this for every song that had been suggested, because her knowledge of Rock was not exactly all there.
“Are you stupid?” Shiro clicked her tongue. “That song is famous and rides on the vocals.”
“That’s what makes it a good pick! Show everyone that even without-”
“Uhm- which band-”
“If I think of The Offspring, then The Kids Aren’t Alright comes to mind~” Otoha was naturally of no help whatsoever. “While I would quite like to play perhaps something from The Offspring or Red Hot Chilli Peppers, I think there will be issues with the audience considering-”
And here we go again with the concert junkie. “Feelings is pretty fast. It should work to-” Lilisa liked The Offspring quite a bit.
“You can’t go around and randomly pick something so famous as a cover song.”
“Then what’s your big idea, huh?!”
“Metallica.”
“Again?! We already have Master of Puppets and Fuel on the list!”
“So add another one.”
“We ain’t a fucking Metallica cover band!”
“With your skill level you ain’t in a position to talk down to-”
“Who is talking down?!”
“Now, now-” Tina thought that getting between two lionesses was a good idea.
“You sit down!” “Finish that list!!”
“Yes…” Tina was given Rock homework in the form of a playlist.
“Lilisa, Tamaki, I just found the perfect song to use!” Otoha, browsing on her phone, made both of the short girls groan internally. She hit play and the wild shredding of Through the Fire and Flames started coming out of the speaker.
“Are you trying to kill me?!” Lilisa crossed her arms.
“As if you could even play that if you tried.”
“Like you could!”
“I’m the bassist.”
“Then sit on your bass down and shut up!”
“Did you think that was clever? Oto, we are not doing that song.”
“Then…!” She scrolled and hit play again. It was clearly another Dragonforce song.
“We’ve left the realm of rock and have crossed fully over into fantasy metal…” Lilisa tried to imagine playing that song and her fingertips started to hurt. Doing this in a studio recording would be one thing, but for a live audience? I’m not sure my stamina would last to play anything else if we did this.
“We never really defined what kind of rock we are playing. To begin with, we aren’t doing original songs right now.” Tamaki put down her bass and sat down on a folding chair. “We can’t keep doing cover songs forever. Does anyone here even know how to write a song?”
I can tell that if I ask if that is hard, they’re going to be mad at me again. Tina paid attention and was even learning.
“Oto, can you turn off the song?” Lilisa calmed down a bit. “Tamaki is right, we gotta at least get the ball rolling on that.”
“We could get a ghost writer on board.” Crossing her arms, Tamaki was subconsciously moving her fingers in imitation of the bass line from that second Dragonforce song. “Oto, what was that song called?”
“Fury of the Storm~ It suits our performance style quite well, does it not?” She had been very excited every since they just about atomized the scrub band. “Something that the members of Backups would never understand.” It was Bacchus.
“One of us writing songs is like whole degrees harder than learning another instrument. Playing and writing-” Lilisa had a little bit of experience in that, but nothing that she could put in front of an audience, not by a longshot.
“Is the correct terminology not compose as we are an instrumental band?” Otoha could be oddly specific about some details.
“Yeah, sure.”
“As much as I want to agree with you Oto, Dragonforce is clearly more metal than rock. We can continue to cover from te´ for now, and we have other options.”
“Know what, fuck this, we are not covering Metallica. It’s even in the bloody name! Metallica!” Lilisa wiped out the suggestions that they had previously board on the blackboard.
“Hey, who said you can-!”
“I did!”
It only took a second for Tamaki and Lilisa to almost physically butt heads. “So who do you think we should work from until we got our own songs out, huh?!”
“Looots of options! You said it yourself!”
“Yeah, if we rip entire discographies! What kind of numbskull would turn down Metallica?!”
“We don’t hafta include metal when there’s plenty of actual rock to cover in a rock band! We’re rock lady, not metal lady!”
“Who is what changes all the time!”
“You just wanna play Metallica!”
“And you got a problem with that?! I’m saying we’re gonna let you cover Metallica!”
“Band-Maid, Yousei Teikoku, Lovebites!”
“That last one’s a metal band, guitar for brains!”
“Now, now, perhaps we should all take a break and revisit this another time. We are running out of time for practice.” Otoha was getting a bit tired of the petty arguments and wanted to get to playing.
“In favor!” Tina immediately agreed.
“Tsk.” “Tsk yourself!”
“And I believe Yousei Teikoku might be not a bad fit, actually.”
“Ghhuah…” Tamaki nearly folded hearing Otoha take Lilisa’s side. “Otoh…”
“On the other hand, there are most definitively some bands that are classified as metal that once we put our own touch to it, would no doubt become rock.”
“Hey… that’s a lot easier said than done.” Lilisa didn’t like the look of the future that was being painted.
“I agree with Otoha…” Tina timidly raised her hand.
“Of course not every song is suitable. And we should not disregard overseas songs quite so readily, Lilisa. However, we cannot ignore the local talent either, Tamaki.” It seemed like Otoha was a master negotiator, but she just didn’t want to take either side too much and so tried middle of the road. She just wanted to blast the audience up four floors of heaven.
“I’ll give you Fuel if you give me Feelings.” Lilisa was ready to make a compromise.
“This isn’t a bartering shop.” Tamaki however was as stubborn as a mule.
“Shiraya.” Otoha switched to her family name and it had the intended effect.
“Include Unlucky Morpheus and Galneryus into the list of considerations and we have a deal.”
“Fine.” Shaking hands with Tamaki, Lilisa felt a burden being taken from her shoulders. “Getting some original songs is gonna be real hard though.”
“Problem for another day.” Tamaki got back up and took up her bass. “So what are we trying first?”
Otoha, with the glee of a six year old at the ice cream shop, put Dragonforce back on.
And immediately, Tamaki and Lilisa were united. “There’s no way!”
“But we won’t know until we try!” Otoha was ready to break her wrists.
It doesn’t seem like Otoha will let this go… I hope the keyboard parts aren’t too difficult. Tina was still a beginner. One that had worked incredibly hard, but still so. Experience was not so easily replaced with just sheer willpower and drive.
=== Rocking Lady ===
“Are you alright, Onee-sama?” Alice had come to get Lilisa.
Fingers and wrists were killing her. “Mmh, yes, I’m fine.” She was rubbing the back of her hands and wrists over and over and her fingertips were visibly red.
“You are still an awful liar, Onee-sama.”
“This is all Otoha’s fault… shit, what kind of superhuman playing is that?” I can’t believe one of her sticks flew out of her hands. I’m all sticky… I didn’t sweat this hard even on stage. We need to focus on practicing something that we have actually some hope of performing on stage. Not even Tamaki was able to get through that without errors. But she made a lot less than me, aaahhh, that’s so damn frustrating! And I think we traumatized Tina…
“Onee-sama. There is something I would like to talk to you about.”
“Is that so? What could it be?”
“You still switch back to your noble persona when it is just the two of us… I much prefer the-”
“Ssssh, we never know who might be listening.”
Alice glanced in every direction once. “There is nobody left, Onee-sama. Everyone has long since gone home. We will likely be scolded for our late return.”
“Ugh.”
“The matter I wanted to talk about is something that will concern future appearances in public.” Alice glanced around again. “Being recorded, in this era of everyone possessing the means to do so at their whim, is a serious threat to you.”
“Well, yeah.”
“Would it not be difficult to remain undetected when playing at an event as large as this Fuji Rock?”
“I haven’t thought that far ahead.”
“While Isemi-san is able to camouflage herself by… dressing differently, how will you and Kurogane-san avoid being found out?”
“I’ve no idea. Honestly I just figured that with Rock being Rock, nobody in our social circle would ever notice.”
“That is naive, Onee-sama.”
“Urk…”
“But there is a solution.” Alice took out her phone and showed a listing on a costume store to her step-sister. “Even though your rather magnificent hairstyle is very recognizable, you could be copying it from a certain lady that you saw once, with a wig perhaps. What remains is to unfortunately hide your face.” I don’t want to completely miss out on Onee-sama’s amazing expressions, so I chose this with great care.
“What’s this, a mask?” Lilisa gave it a good look. It was a half-face mask, leaving everything beneath the nose uncovered but otherwise worked practically like a fox mask worn for summer festivals.
“A mask typically used for traditional Opera. It will be inconspicuous among our peers and you could claim it as a passing interest. Additionally it will work well with your band name. And most of all, it will allow you some freedom of expression along the others. These masks have one-way see-through covers for the eyes, which will leave only your mouth. With some simple makeup such as black lipstick to accentuate the mask, it would be most difficult for even our closest associates and friends to recognize you from a video.”
“You thought about this a lot.”
“Perhaps the others could adopt similar masks and make-up to create a unified theme. Additionally, I believe that everyone should formally adopt a short form name for use in the band.”
“You mean like how I went by Lily and Otoha went with Oto?”
“Just like such, exactly.”
“Well, Tamaki already has Shiro going as a nickname… I guess we can shorten Tina to Tia or Ina.”
“Ina would most likely fit a theme of Lily, Ina, Oto and Shiro more than Tia would. Of course, I would address you as such when performing staff member duties, Onee-sama.”
“You can just call me by my name when we’re alone, you know?”
“T-Then. Li- Lilisa-onee-sama.”
“I didn’t know you could be so cute.”
“C-Cute?!”
“Adorable?” I still don’t really get her. “But masks, huh… I wonder if we can sell Otoha and Tamaki on that.”
“Oto and Shiro.”
“Right.”
“Also, Onee-sama-”
“Lily.”
“L-Lily-onee-sama.”
“Just Lily.”
“Please do not ask the impossible of me!” Her face was starting to resemble a stop sign. “Lilisa-onee-sama, have you filled out your preferential papers for the upcoming school excursion?”
“The… excur…” Aaaaaaaaaaa!! I totally forgot about that! “Oh… Ohoho… I am sure I will be able to fill that out in no time at all.”
“Onee-sama…”
“It slipped my mind! With the battle of the bands and everything…”
And she was not the only one.
Otoha: I think I will participate in the excursion to Kyoto. There is a particular event venue there that I would like to see.
Shiraya: Then I am going to Kyoto too
Lilisa: Of course you are
Tina: I might have to refrain from the excursion after all
Lilisa: what? How come?
Tina: they are overnight trips and it… would be quite difficult to not change clothes.
Lilisa: Huh? And why would anyone see you change clothes?
Otoha: Customary, all excursions will use shared rooms for the purpose of connecting with your fellow student, Lilisa.
Tamaki: it’s a stupid tradition, but you basically have to room with someone. It’s a huge pain in the ass.
I bet, she has to wear a wig the entire time and behave all lady like when she’s actually a shit talking maso goblin. Lilisa had heard the story from Otoha.
Lilisa: I don’t really care which excursion I go on. Tina, I can room with you if you want
Tina: you would do that for me, Lilisa?!
Lilisa: It’ll be a huge load off my back to not have to pretend at least a couple of hours in the day, too
Tamaki: Oto, lets room together
Otoha: Kuroyuri Girl’s School does not list the same excursions as our Oshin Girls’ Academy.
Tamaki: Shit
Lilisa: just how down bad are you
Tamaki: silence, noob
Lilisa: I dare you say that to my face!
Tamaki: I did. And will again.
Otoha: Lilisa, what was it that you wanted to talk about other than the excursions?
Lilisa: right
Lilisa: Alice brought up some good points about us being recognized in public and what not. Being filmed is a problem after all.
Lilisa shared a link
Lilisa: this plus some lipstick will cover us. You can see through the mask eye covers apparently, from the inside. That should get us mostly on the safe side. Alice also figured that we should fully adopt shorthands for our names. Lily, Oto, Ina and Shiro.
Tina: I am Ina?
Lilisa: up to you, but honestly I thought Alice was right with it fitting the theme we got going.
Otoha: I would suggest to shorten it to Tia instead. With both Lily and Tia, then Oto and Shiro, we will have two foreign sounding names and also two that are Japanese.
Tamaki: agreed 100%
Lilisa: Of course you do
Tamaki: take the win, noob
Tina: then if everyone is okay with that, I will be going by Tia~ This is really exciting! I thought I wouldn’t get to use a stage name!
Otoha: I see no problem with the suggestion of Miss Alice if those masks do not impede our playing.
Tina: Does that mean I should keep wearing my shape wear?
Lilisa: Honestly I’m pretty sure that crap is poison for you. With how stacked you are, that stuff has got to be magic or insanely restrictive to hide those huge bazongas.
Tina: It has been getting harder lately to get it to lock… the maids have to pull quite hard every morning.
Lilisa: Magic, I swear
Tamaki: are you blind? Her entire upper body gains some depth when she’s camouflaging
Otoha: Oh, is that it? I did think Miss Tina was just unbelievably slim when we were together in the green room the first time
Tina: I have to pay a lot of attention to my figure, but lately…
Lilisa: don’t tell me… they’re getting even bigger?! Share some!! Hey!!!
Tina: I would if I could!
Tamaki: are we done talking about this?
Lilisa: I’ll tell Alice to order the masks.
Otoha: Please do.
Lilisa: And we need to figure out something else
Tamaki: you’re just a wellspring of great news, aren’t you
Lilisa: will you put a sock in it? Alice brought up a pretty good point. We wanna go to Fuji Rock, but that means serious popularity. We’re not getting there without our names getting out. Interviews, signing a label and all that. It always leaks somehow. And she couldn’t think of a way around that.
Otoha: Oh my, is that all? I will have Tsukasa prepare some counterfeit identification for us in that case.
Lilisa: I can’t tell if you’re serious
Otoha: What reason would I have to joke now?
Lilisa: Okay, I’ll just not question that
Tamaki: I already have mine. Where do you think ‘Shiro’ comes from? Taki Shiro.
Lilisa: what a name…
Tamaki: look it up online and you get a million dude images.
Tina: W-What am I going to do? I don’t think I can ask someone at home for another means of identification
Otoha: I shall provide one for you as well then
Lilisa: for me too?
Otoha: Not a problem at all. Please let me know your names in the near future then.
Lilisa: Suzuki Lily.
Tamaki: That’s about as generic as possible.
Tina: it is?
Tamaki: Suzuki is in the top three of the most common family names in all of Japan
Tina: Oh… what is the most common?
Tamaki: Don’t just go for the most common or we’ll start to look obviously fake.
Otoha: I shall be Inoue Oto.
Tina: Lilisa, do you have any advice?
Lilisa: Kobayashi
Tina: Kobayashi Tia… I like it~
Otoha: I’m glad we solved this so quickly. Then I will have Tsukasa prepare the relevant documentation. It will pass at least moderate enterprise checks, but no inquiry from high-level state officials.
Lilisa: Yeah, sure
Man, rich people are freaking scary. Lilisa thought as she looked at her phone for a few more seconds before putting it away.
=== Rocking Lady ===
“Oh, I can still see quite well through this.” Tia was trying on the mask. It had nearly invisible strips of a skin adhesive glue on the inside which meant the masks would stay on very securely no matter what movement was performed but could also be removed by just pulling strongly. The mask itself was a hard ceramic shell with an interior of air filled hard plastic. It covered the entire upper face, even the eyes. Much like being able to look through a thinly woven blanket, the eye covers utilized special weaving patterns to obfuscate the eyes but still allow the user to see quite well through it.
“This is better quality than I expected. I think my parents have something like this.” Shiro had her mask on as well and tested it out, bending over and demonstrating some ridiculous teenage flexibility. “Whether this holds up under stress of sweat is another thing.”
“Then let us put that to the test right away with the most ferocious carnal colla- no, practice!” Oto was very excited to just play.
“No Dragonforce.” Lily felt her hands hurt just remembering that.
“I found Lilisa’s- my apologies. Lily’s suggestion of Band-Maid to be quite enticing. “In particular, this song called Different would be quite nice~”
“Yeess.” Lily fist pumped.
Although the band certainly had no real leader, albeit Lily often functioned as it, quite a bit of their decisions revolved around Oto’s whims. Not that they really minded that much. Shiro certainly didn’t.
One very sexually charged session later – because there was absolutely no other type of session for these girls – they were back to their old shenanigans.
“That’s clearly a metal song!” Lily clawed at her sweat covered forehead.
“So what? We can just make it a rock song.” Shiro fired right back with a glare.
Lily and Shiro had different ideas of who the person in charge was. And Oto absolutely never, ever, helped things. But this time, Shiro won out.
“You can’t just… I mean, you can, but… damn it, you’re right.”
“Course I am.”
“But I think this particular song is not really suited to transitioning to being a rock piece.” Oto stabbed Shiro in the back with a really big knife. Defeat, snatched from the jaws of victory.
“Oto…”
“You’re right about making something a rock song. But. This song has multiple guitars. Unless you have another guitarist hidden in a pocket or something, I can’t do like three guitar parts by myself, especially not at this speed.” Lily hit Shiro with a combo.
“Just play faster.”
“How fast do you want me to play? The speed of fucking sound?” Lily remained totally deadpan but snarled.
“Try it.”
“Just because you want to fuck sound-”
“Hey.”
Tia blushed pretty hard the moment she understood what Lily had really said. It wasn’t music that Shiro wanted, it was Oto. And Oto meant sound.
“Lily, can you not indulge Shiro’s depraved delusions please?”
“Oto… they’re not depraved! Or delusions! I told you a hundred times-”
“Yes, I have heard about your reprehensible intentions quite a lot~” There was a lot of ambiguity about how much of what Oto said was intentionally feeding Shiro’s closeted masochism.
“Don’t pretend you don’t like it.” Lily wasn’t clueless and was well aware that Shiro was down bad for Oto. “Just be honest already. Not like we care.”
“Tsk.” Shiro and honest was like trying to wash your hands with oil.
So Shiro really does prefer girls and Oto specifically? Tia was just a little less knowledgeable than the others on this topic.
“Shiro’s ability to be honest is even more pathetic than the so called musical skills of the Backrubs.” It was Baccus. “She has been like that ever since we were children.”
Every time she got roasted by Oto, Shiro felt heat run through her entire body. The intense, sexual pleasure kind of heat. Admitting it to herself was quite difficult, considering how she typically viewed herself as the queen; when her queen was really Oto.
That day after practice, Shiro was still trying the whole it’s a misunderstanding routine as she chased after Oto, leaving Lily and Tia behind by themselves, putting away instruments and making sure no sweat puddles remained. Or water bottles. Hydration was important.
“It’s incredible how direct you manage to be with Shiro.” Tia was not the type to powerfully argue, like the other three, and so that sort of thing stuck out to her as impressive.
“Oto’s absolutely useless when it comes to actually helping with band stuff somehow. Drums like a demon and apparently has the whole underworld at her beck and call but can’t rein in Shiro ever.”
“O-Oh, I meant… her feelings for Oto.”
“That? I mean… it’s all over her face. That aaahhh so good expression she gets when Oto treats her like a deviant.”
“Do you mind if I ask you a personal question?” Tia was wiping down her keyboard. She had to do that pretty much every time now.
“I’m not into Oto that way. Or Shiro.”
“That’s not- I was wondering if you- considering how calm you are about it- I mean-” She pulled out her bunny doll. “Tina wonders if you have experience with other girls~”
“That sure is personal.” Lily leaned back and looked at the ceiling. “A little? Don’t go telling Shiro that, I will never ever hear the end of it.”
Opening her mouth to do the bunny voice again, Tia stopped short. “How do you know when you feel about someone that way?”
“That’s obvious. If being around them makes you feel as good as playing really hard.” Lily grinned so hard her head was in danger of splitting into top and bottom. “I’m leaving first. And don’t worry about rooming with me on the trip.” She could put one and three together.
Being left behind by herself, Tia fidgeted with her bunny doll for a bit. “That’s not what I’m worried about though.” Blushing by herself, she looked over at Lily’s guitar. As good as playing rock… without Lily I wouldn’t even have rock. Never mind still be part of Rock Lady.
=== Rocking Lady ===
While Otoha went to Kyoto, Lilisa and Tina were part of a trip to Hokkaido, specifically to Niseko – a famous ski resort for the wealthy. With a series of top of the line hotels and private villas by the mountains, it was just barely rich enough for the ladies of Oshin Girl’s Academy. Anything beyond this would require bringing the mountain to the ladies however.
This place is bigger than our entire old apartment was. The hotel room, a luxury suite, was just too much in every way possible. A private open air bath with customizable temperature; a limitless mini bar that had all alcohol removed prior to their arrival, a bed that could have fit at least ten Lilisas, a whole section with a fireplace, luxury lounging on incredibly soft leather and fur, a whole indoor bathroom that by itself was bigger than Lilisa’s old apartment as well, a dining area and more.
Wait.
Walking around the place, Lilisa looked for the one thing that was missing. “Where’s the other bed? Isn’t this supposed to be a double room?” Staring at the single bed that was easily a quadruple by itself, despite being for one person somehow, Lilisa didn’t notice until it was too late.
Long, athletic arms going over her shoulders, past her head and around her waist, she was caught like a fish in a net. Having to look almost straight up and turning her head pretty far, Lilisa saw the blushing but confident face of Tina. “Did Otoha put you up to this?”
“Otoha might have given me some encouragement, knowing that even should I fail, everyone will be able to carry on. Because our desire to play rock is much stronger than any personal misgivings we have.”
Squinting, then squeezing her eyes shut, Lilisa controlled her breathing and exhaled very slowly. “Is this why you asked me if I have experience with girls?”
“Yes.”
“So this isn’t a joke?!” Lilisa’s controlled breathing was getting a whole lot less controlled.
“I would not joke about rock or how I feel.”
“A little heads up could have been nice!” Lilisa hadn’t made a serious attempt to get free yet and when she did, Tina just let her go. “What are you gonna do if I, I don’t know, turn you down? Just to be clear, this is you saying you like me, like Tamaki is into Otoha, right?”
“Yes!” Tina’s unusual and direct confidence was a very confusing sight. “I only realized after it became clear to me that Tamaki really does feel about Otoha that certain way. And so I knew I had to at least try.”
“So you didn’t plan this from the start when you talked about the trip?”
“I only called ahead to let the hotelier know that I would like a suite for one and that they should book both of us for it.”
“This is a suite for one?! No, wait, that’s not the point here!”
“Go out with me, Lilisa!” Stepping forward, grabbing Lilisa’s hands and holding them up, Tina’s eyes were positively sparkling as she looked at her would be girlfriend.
“I’mma need some time- at least an hour- gimme five minutes to…” The Tinaura was immensely powerful. Stronger than anything anyone else had ever been subjected to. Even someone from outside the high nobility world like Lilisa was no longer immune to it. Well, not fully.
“What’s your plan for me saying no?”
“Getting so good at the keyboard that I will make you change your mind! I will practice until my fingers and wrists fall off!”
“Damn, that’s a rock as heck answer.” Biting her lip and almost working up to a prolonged f fuck, Lilisa let out a huge sigh. “Okay, sure. I honestly have no idea how I feel about this other than utter where did this come from and this is gonna be a disaster if it doesn’t work out, but if I have to see Otoha and Tamaki pseudo flirt every single day, I might as well get in on the action with the objectively hottest girl in the band.”
“You think I am attractive?!”
Pulling her hands free, Lilisa grabbed the fabric of Tina’s school uniform. “A lot hotter without this crap smothering those gigantic boobs of yours!” Letting go, Lilisa just frowned at Tina’s very… magically slimmed figure.
“Gi… gigantic…” It didn’t have the intended effect.
“They’re even bigger than Otoha’s. If I’m dating a girl, might as well go for broke and get everything I don’t have. Height. Power. Boobs!”
“I don’t know if I’m that strong… that reminds me of when you were swinging that folding chair at that guy from… from… that boy band.” Her bandwidth was consumed by Lilisa trivia, no room for guy data. “The way you protected Alice was so… rock!”
“Hold on.” She was getting hit by the reality of the situation now that it went off on a tangent. And it was like a truck. The kind that got people to other worlds via the reincarnation express. “You really want to go out with me? Dating? To be clear, for me that means more than holding hands and you looking handsome on a horse.” Why the fuck did I bring up the horse?! Why do I even remember that?! She did look really dashing on that but that isn’t the point!
Tina confidently walked past Lilisa and then gestured at the bed. “Otoha gave me lots of advice! I didn’t understand some of the terminology, but-”
“Like what.”
“-I will definitely- sorry, what?”
“What terminology did you not get?” I’m gonna kill Otoha.
“I didn’t really get what edging meant or what sixty-nine meant.”
Lilisa would have crushed an apple if she had one in her hand. “Okay, even for me, that’s not gonna be relevant for a bit.” Her voice was kinda strained. If she asks me to explain this to her, I am jumping out of that window. It wasn’t that Lilisa was embarrassed. But there was only so much sudden holy heck what is going on that her brain could process, even given her daily routine of making stuff up as she went and having to study rich people hobbies an ungodly amount.
“So you will go out with me?!” Tina went back to grab Lilisa’s hands, who blushed at the now extremely close up and brilliantly shining face of the much taller girl.
“Mh. Yeah. But the last time, and only time, I dated a girl it went on for like two weeks, so you can’t expect me to have this all figured out.” At least I know more than Tina does from manga and doujinshi, but come on… she’s like a giant pile of pure, refined sugar. I can’t explain to her what edging is.
“That’s totally fine! Just like you taught me what rock is, and I’m still learning about it every day, we can learn together.”
“Great.” I guess the last time I blindly jumped into something I shouldn’t be doing, I ended up forming a band with a rich heiress, then two more of them, and we rocked the hell out of those fragile eggshell ego bozos.
“Lilisa, your face is scary.”
“Just thinking about the colossal ass whipping we served up to those idiots that couldn’t carry a tune in a bucket. Fuji Rock my ass.”
“There is something forbidden-like charming about you speaking all crass like that~”
Lilisa didn’t say anything in return for a few seconds. “Well, better than Tamaki’s deal.”
“I would prefer if you could say nice things to me instead~”
“Should be easy.” Shaking her head, Lilisa glanced at the ceiling. Focusing on the pointlessly lavish chandelier that was surely worth enough to feed a family of four for a year, she didn’t feel the situation as real yet. “Otoha gave you advice?”
“Yes! I thought, with her and Tamaki sharing a connection like that, she would know best what I should do to win you over.” Going back to her initial position, arms over Lilisa’s shoulders and hands on her waist, Tina was already putting the lewd, lewd moves onto her brand new girlfriend.
“I think you’re misinterpreting how far… no, I won’t even go there. I don’t wanna know what level they’re at.”
I’m glad I remembered not to let anything slip out about Tamaki and Otoha’s relationship, like Otoha requested. And it was surprisingly easy to find the courage to ask Lilisa. Otoha was right, it was practically no different from stepping on stage in front of an audience. I’m glad I practiced my moves and question a couple hundred times in front of the mirror!
“Hey, Tina.” Lilisa leaned back into the embrace. “Get rid of that stupid shape wear.”
“E-Eeeh… that would make it difficult to go outside.”
“We’ll be in thick winter coats, hats, snow goggles and skii boots. Nobody is gonna recognize us. Also, I’ll help you put it back on if I have to. Same for when we practice.”
“Even when we practice?!”
“Do you plan to hide those amazing boobs all your life?”
“I hadn’t really thought-”
“That’s what I figured. There is no way you can keep this up forever. Eventually you’ll have to just accept you have those mega assets and you should flaunt them. Screw what people think. Other than me. I’m now in the unique one-person circle you should care about what I think.”
“But I have to help out at the company, and-”
“You just convinced me to date you even though I haven’t even processed what’s happening. Might as well just skip that part. You can stand up to your mom and tell her that it’s becoming impossible.”
“Nhuu…”
“Well, at some point. Until then, give your chest some breathing room!”
“I do breathe a lot easier when we dress for a performance…”
“See? Anyway, for now, we gotta figure out that.”
“That?”
“The bed.”
“Is it too small?”
“If there is someone who says this is too small, I have a lot of questions for them, like why, or how. I’m talking about how we’re both gonna sleep in there.”
“Otoha did give me some advice for that too.” The confidence had disappeared and timid Tina had taken its place. “She mentioned that while in bed together, under the covers, we could-”
I really am gonna kill-
“-hold hands. I know you said that dating is more than that! But-”
“No, that is totally fine.” Otoha, you live to see another day. But I bet you had a big old laugh about all of this!! She definitely did.
=== Rocking Lady ===
Despite Lilisa spending all day on edge, not the kind that Otoha had mentioned, things with Tina remained surprisingly natural. Tina stuck close a lot more than usual and really enjoyed just hugging Lilisa or taking her hand in the moments when they took a break from skiing. The big, catastrophic oh hell what am I doing I’m dating an heiress now moment never came. Eventually, Lilisa just burned out on being anxious and she accepted the situation for what it was. A windfall.
While playing with Otoha was certainly stimulating in all sorts of ways – definitely sexually as well – Otoha was absolutely not suitable as a romantic partner, not in the least. The no doubt undying grudge from Tamaki that would incur set aside, even.
By every conceivable metric, Tina was amazing. Hardworking, liked rock, had enormous knockers, tall, shaped like an hourglass, beautifully pure in a way, adorably naive in other ways, a really pleasant voice, amazingly cute face and most of all, she had no problem with Lilisa’s true nature. If anything, it was that true nature that attracted her in the first place.
While out on the mountain they occasionally became the subject of a bit of jealousy when someone did recognize Tina; who had been too anxious to go outside with the magic shape wear, that was more like a half torso corset. Seeing the contraption up close, it was practically incomprehensible clothing layering magic to Lilisa. In effect, it increased Tina’s upper body depth in entirety, so even with her chest squished down to almost the absolute maximum possible, it needed to provide that added increase on her waist and lower chest to not make her breasts stick out. Any serious impact however would cause that very contraption to snap in places.
As it turned out, losing one’s balance and falling into the snow was enough of an impact. Luckily, the absolutely ridiculously padded winter coat that Tina had, in light blue and white, did wonders to hide her shape wear coming half undone. This did result in several breaks off the track where Lilisa conspicuously stood behind Tina, gloves off and arms going under the coat from behind, fumbling around under layers of clothes and trying to pull together the latch that sprung open.
“I can’t feel my arms. I think this is the most tired I’ve ever been other than playing.” Lilisa had barely returned to the hotel room, the sun already down, when she fell face first onto the bed.
“I’m so sorry… I was sure that skiing would be much easier than the equestrian club activities…” I can’t believe I’m so bad at this.
“Apologize to your chest, not me. And don’t think I didn’t notice you getting out of breath way before me, even though I’m so much shorter than you.” Going any kind of distance in skii, without actually properly using them, was pure nightmare fuel for the body. “And I bet it’s your sense of balance being all screwed up from that shape wear.”
“You think so?” Tina looked down. She wore thigh-high winter socks, wool fettered shorts and a winter sweater. Their coats had been left down at the coat check. While they had been out, their luggage had also arrived and they had missed a very confused bellhop.
“Betting on it.”
Reaching behind her own back, finding the latch, Tina tried to get it open but couldn’t. It was under enormous pressure after all. “Lilisa, could you help me get it open?” Normally, rich ladies like Tina and Lilisa would be accompanied by several maids, but the trip was to encourage a certain level of independence. In a luxury hotel. With their every need seen to. Independence meant something else for those people.
Rolling over, Lilisa slapped the extremely thick covers of the bed. “Sit down.” Briefly forcing herself up, the young Suzunomiya lady crawled onto the bed and waited for her brand new girlfriend to sit. The very moment she got the latch loose, she felt the sweater tighten as Tina’s chest experienced a brand new freedom.
“Haaah…” And so did Tina’s lungs.
In pseudo seiza on the bed, Lilisa relaxed her arms while Tina pushed back further, only her ankles dangling off the bed now. Their eyes met.
“I’m really glad I asked you to come with me. I would have had my maids constantly come and get me or even stay home… although I just fell a whole lot today.”
“Kyaah~” Lilisa imitated the noise Tina made. “For someone that can jump up trees and looks at home on top of a horse, you were adorably pathetic on the skii.”
“Adorably… pathetic?”
“That’s a good thing. I get to decide that now.”
“Is there anything I can do to make up for all the bother… that… I…” Tina got quieter and quieter when she felt Lilisa’s hand on her cheek, then saw her face come closer and closer. Tensing up quite a bit, closing her eyes way too tightly and puckering her lips like she was a comedy character, she got herself ready.
“You’re making me laugh.” Lilisa had to try very hard to not laugh. She’s so capable but she’s also a total catastrophe in some other ways. Pot, meet kettle. Huh?! Nothing. Putting a finger on Tina’s lips, she felt her tense up even more, then gradually relax. “This is nothing compared to getting on the stage that first time and not running away.”
“I’m so glad I kept on playing.” Briefly focused on that happy memory, Tina suddenly felt something warm and soft on her lips and was too surprised to tense up in time. Opening her eyes, Lilisa’s face was still right there. So close up, that the prince of Oshin Girl’s Academy turned into a blushing princess. For about a second or two. Then Lilisa lost all control of the situation, Tina kissing her back, with surprising courage.
Tina tasted like snow, lip balm, sweat and the purest, sweetest soft serve ice cream in the universe, made from pure joy. “Hey, hey… Not that I dislike it, but I’m definitely the top.”
“But aren’t I taller?”
“That’s not how that works.”
“Otoha said I should be the top.”
“Otoha says a lot of things. The top is the one who takes charge.”
“And that cannot be me?”
Lilisa was so stunned that Tina hadn’t backed down that she actually considered it. “Sure. We can try that.” She does have all that unintentional top experience as the academy’s prince. And thinking that, she looked down. “Can I touch them?”
Reaching to pull up her sweater for Lilisa, Tina was stopped by her girlfriend. “What?
“Like this is fine. You know… in case we suddenly have to run out for some reason.” She wanted to faceplant into the floor. Great save, Lilisa.
“I never thought of my chest as anything particularly good, so I’m really happy that you like it.” Smiling with all the pure glee power of a newly born sun, Tina tensed just a little at Lilisa’s hands just about sinking into the sweater.
Okay, yeah. This was 1000% the right call. It’s so good I can’t even be jealous. So this is the power of good genes and rich people nutrition. Soft, big, malleable… malleable? My vocabulary is just getting better by the second today. It really was. Stopping sooner than she could have, but a good twenty seconds after she thought she would, Lilisa looked down at her hands. “Amazing.”
“I’m glad.” Tina shivered very briefly. “Otoha did say I should ask if you want to join me in the bath, and-” She had her mouth fully covered up by Lilisa’s hand.
“Enough Otoha said. What happened to the Tina that makes up her own mind?”
Nodding, bridging her fingers, some of that confidence seemed to evaporate almost visibly.
“We got a huge bathroom and an open air bath. Pick one, I’ll take the other.”
“Then I will take the bathroom.” Otoha did suggest I should accidentally drop my towel after the bath while Lilisa isn’t looking, but… that feels even harder than a really high difficulty song. Otoha was a demon.
“Open air bath it is. Tina.” Lilisa leaned forward and kissed her again. “Happy to be your girlfriend. But if you want to be the top, you need to-” Lilisa got kissed back practically immediately. “Like that, yeah.”
“Much like rock, I try my best to learn.”
Blushing pretty fiercely, Lilisa crawled off the bed. “Go on, bathroom, I don’t want to end up without dinner.”
“Without…? But dinner will be delivered to the room in about forty-five minutes. I suppose a slightly shorter than usual bath will have to do then.”
Rich people… I swear…
=== Rocking Lady ===
I can’t breathe… how is she so strong…?! Lilisa was fighting for her life. In a manner of speaking.
Going to bed with Tina, although she had processed the whole girlfriend thing at that point, was about as intimate as sleeping in separate futons next to each other. The bed was even bigger that two futons. More like three, leaving an extra one between them empty.
Moving under the thick comforter like moles, Tina did eventually manage to find Lilisa’s hand. Who had to immediately teach Tina that holding hands didn’t just mean what it said. At first, pulling her whole hand away, then going on the offensive, she slid her fingers between Tina’s and held tight.
Both of them felt the sheer effort the other put in with their instrument; the spots of skin that assuredly did not belong on the hands of an heiress. And this was much more of an emotional high than holding hands sharing a bed that was the size of a small room.
However.
Unfortunately.
Tina was a very messy sleeper. It only took her five minutes to be sound asleep. So much so that Lilisa had no way way to wake her up when she ended up in a full body embrace by the much taller girl. With the much bigger chest and surprising level of physical strength that Tina had, Lilisa was trapped.
Of course, when someone says they had no way, they typically meant no reasonable way. But Lilisa did not even have unreasonable ways. Biting her wasn’t so easy because that night gown was in the way and screaming was difficult because her face was quite literally squeezed into Tina’s chest. In normal circumstances, this would have undoubtedly been hot. But suffering took priority over getting horny. Mostly.
Finally managing to squeeze her right shoulder out from Tina’s embrace, Lilisa regained control of one arm. And didn’t just prod or rub or poke Tina.
“Oww!!”
One full force slap on her pretty big butt later, Tina was brought back to the world of the waking and realized pretty quickly that something was squirming in her bosom and embrace.
“Aah! I’m sorry, Lilisa!” Letting go, the act was followed by a huge inhale of air from the short girl.
“Why are you so freaking strong…” Lilisa had to sit up, showing off her own chest. Which ranked fourth out of five, if Alice was included. Sleep with one eye open, buddy. It was still a magnificent chest definitely no contest absolutely for sure.
“I’ll… sleep over-” Tina was already shuffling to the side, very slowly because the comforter was heavy.
“Where do you think you’re going?” Lilisa was frowning a bit at her. “Remember when you couldn’t keep pace with a song we picked and so we adjusted it? That’s what this situation is, again. Not a get out of the band I mean bed one.”
Tina wasn’t processing fast enough right after being woken up to handle throwbacks. “Uh-”
“If you’re gonna squeeze me, I’ll just have to make sure you’re not squeezing my face into your tits.” We can save that for when we’re actually awake. The horny was coming back. Lilisa was always able to remain perfectly focused on not being horny for any of her objectively ridiculously hot bandmates when they went for a concert or did practice because Rock trumped Romance. In bed however, that was a different story.
Shuffling over, closing the distance, Lilisa just faced away from Tina. “Maybe we can limit your strength if you just preemptively grab me. And I feel like I gotta say this, I’m not the type that will get all anxious about physical contact or skinship. You wanna put your hands all over me, that’s fine.”
“All over-” Tina wasn’t that dense and turned as red as the situation demanded of a somewhat reasonable person.
“This is what me being your girlfriend is like. I already do the whole song and dance around everyone else at school, I can’t also do that in private.”
“No, I like the more honest you! It’s why I like- I mean like you and-”
“I get it.” Lilisa rolled over once. Physically. “I don’t really care for the whole prince thing you got going on at the school either, but I do like the hard working, taking control of her life, keyboard playing and dipshit flipping off Tina.” Lilisa grinned like a devil at that last part because Tina looked just as flustered then as she did when performing that act.
“T-That was… everyone did that, so I thought I had to, too! And they definitely deserved it!” Unlike me, they didn’t have a promise with someone like Lilisa to keep them going. I’m so glad I happened to see her play that one time. Literally a life changing sight. In multiple ways now.
Back to her facing-away position, Lilisa kicked back with her left leg and hit Tina’s thigh. “Come on.”
Forcing one arm down under Lilisa’s pretty narrow waist, the other over, Tina locked her in like a casino safe. “I’m glad you didn’t turn me down.”
“I was more shocked that, one, you even considered this, and two, that you were so smooth about it.”
“Why wouldn’t I consider it?”
Lilisa didn’t answer right away. “Isn’t that sort of thing looked down on in our kind of social circle?”
“Oh. That’s what you mean. I guess it’s true that you are expected to marry a gentleman of some kind, but most do for appearances only and then have their real partner in secret.”
“Eh?”
“It would be unsustainable otherwise, right?”
“I never thought about that part before, actually.”
“For those of us that will inherit and actually take leadership roles in companies, it is even less of an expectation than for others. I don’t think most get married until their late 20s or early 30s. And divorces are not uncommon.”
“Huh.”
Tina started to chuckle.
“What?”
“It’s very cute to see you so worried about it. Don’t worry.” She tightened her embrace a bit. “Unless you stop wanting it, there is nothing that will stop us from just being together.”
Lilisa’s eyes widened. Goddamn this prince character! It’s actually working on me now! “I wonder if the family business gets inherited by Alice or me.”
“It might depend on who is more suitable. Alice does seem like a really clever and resourceful young lady.”
“She definitely used to hate me and at some point it just went full flip-flop.”
“Flip…?”
“Of course you wouldn’t know what a flip-flop is. She did a full turn from hate to like.”
“I was really happy to see her take such an active role in our concert preparations. And just recently, again, coming up with means to protect our identities.”
“That one is a big help. With different names, stage names on top of that, and masks, it’ll be hard to prove any of us are us.”
“You forgot the make-up.”
“Ugh.”
“Lilisa, do you dislike cosmetics?”
“No, not exactly. More… with how sweaty we get during performance, that might turn into a catastrophe.”
“There are water proof kinds. And I think you would look lovely with some black lipstick. Maybe some eye-shadow to accompany the look.”
“What’s the point in eye-shadow if we’re wearing masks that cover everything from the mouth up?”
“That’s true…”
“And black?”
“I think it would look quite good on you!”
“Are we all going with black lips?”
“Both you and Tamaki might be really suitable for it. You with reinforcement, Tamaki with contrast.”
“Rein… contrast? What?”
“If you would like, I could teach you about cosmetics!” Tina was sounding very excited.
“Uh… sure. I’ll probably need it in the future.” It’s not like I’ll stop being a lady.
“Otoha and myself, we would likely use reinforcement as well, so perhaps a HS64-40 blue for me and a PS30-80 purple for Otoha.”
“It doesn’t really hit home most of the time that you’re actually a cosmetics enterprise heiress.”
“Oh…”
“That’s not a bad thing. It’s just that I… push out this idea of us four being high society members when we get on stage or together in the practice room.”
“Because there we are simply rockers.” I hope I used the right word.
“Damn right.”
“Another achievement of miss Alice! Rock Lady truly encapsulates us as people and a band.”
“Makes me almost think that she thought of the masks at that point already. Maybe we should make her our full manager.”
“I’m sure everyone would be delighted!”
“Say, Tina.”
“Yes?”
“Hasn’t your way of talking gotten rougher since joining the band?”
“Has it?!” Tina sounded overjoyed. “I’ve been trying hard to match you and Tamaki more! Otoha does feel… a bit different.”
“Half the time she opens her mouth it sounds like she’s talking about sex.”
“S-Se-?!”
“That’s the old motto. Sex, Drugs and Rock ‘n Roll. An escape from the normalcy and mundane activities of our life. I’m good with just two out of three, though. My drug is rock.”
“Then you can be my drug, Lilisa~”
Saying nothing in return because her voice would no doubt quiver if she did, Lilisa just blushed. I didn’t actually ask how much she likes me. I kinda thought this is some early stages crush, but between being ready to just show me her tits and this, I think I’m taking her like a bit lightly. “Sure.”
Running her hands over Lilisa’s waist, the nightgown having pushed up so much that Tina could touch her skin directly, the taller girl pulled Lilisa even closer, forcing the back of twintail’s head against her chest. “Because you took my pain away and made me discover Rock.”
Of course she thinks of medicine crap when I say drugs. Rich people, I swear. “The drugs in the old Rock ‘n Roll motto are more the kind that get you in trouble.”
“R-Really!?”
“Yep.”
“O-Ooh…”
“But I got you in plenty of trouble already, so that checks out.”
“Trouble?”
“You joined a rock band and got on stage in front of like 300 people. That’s plenty of trouble for an heiress.”
“But you are one, too.”
“Yeah, and I’m trouble.”
“I would much rather have all of the trouble than be troubled for the rest of my life then.”
“Mhhuh.” Lilisa was getting some real frequent flying points to red face country lately. “Is there anything we gotta do tomorrow?”
“There are a couple of things where we must leave trouble in our room and behave as is appropriate for our station.”
“Now you sound like a real heiress.”
“I can be trouble too! Just watch! Phuck!” Tina turned red herself, both from cursing like that and also from Lilisa laughing her butt off. “See!”
“Yeah, I see. Now that’s real Rock. But as much as I’d be okay with talking all night, I know what it’s like to not get any sleep and I’d rather not ski into a tree or off the course.”
“I will save you!”
“You will have to save yourself from yourself first and leave the damn shape wear in the room so you can properly ski.”
“But…”
“Just say that you were cold yesterday and are wearing something extra.”
“Oh… that might work.”
“Nobody even came up to us all day yesterday, so I doubt it’ll be an issue.” Also imagining her in that sweater with her boobs showing is really hot. Thinking about it, she is crazy hot when we go on stage, too, but I’m too focused on other stuff to really think about that when we’re up there.
“Then I will do that.”
“Also share some!”
“Share?”
“Both you and Otoha are just hoarding big tits! Share some with me!”
“I’m not sure how to do that…”
“Just think about it real hard. Make Lilisa’s boobs bigger, bigger, bigger!” Lilisa was smirking up a storm. “Just kid-”
“I will!”
“I was kid-”
“And if that doesn’t work, I think there are supplements we sell that could help.”
“Supplements from a cosmetics company?”
“Beauty requires more than just cosmetics.”
“I mean, sure, but-”
“We also sell entire lines of hair products and skincare and-”
“Okay, I get it. You really do know a lot about the company.”
“Just a little. I am supposed to take it over in ten or twenty years.”
“That’s so far in the future, I’d rather focus on what’s going on right now.”
“Right now?”
“Yes.” She lightly hit Tina’s thigh with her toes. “And I’m just realizing, I forgot something real important before we go to sleep.”
“Did you not brush your-”
“I did. I meant more important.”
“If you need to go to the toilet-”
She can be surprisingly dense. “I like you too, Tina. Maybe not yet as much as you seem to like me, but I am really enjoying being your girlfriend already.”
“Lilisa!”
“But we do need to keep this a secret at school.”
“Naturally. Just like the band.”
“And we absolutely need to rub this in Tamaki’s face.” Lilisa expression was pure evil.
“So maybe Otoha will finally see how much fun it can be to have a girlfriend!”
“Yeah. Definitely. That’s why.” Lilisa was shaking with laughter, which caused her muscles to complain. “I didn’t realize skiing was so… intensive.”
“It was surprisingly taxing.”
There was a very simple explanation for this. Unlike those two, everyone else went skiing the way the wealthy do. Perhaps doing a single run, spending 80% of the day standing around and gossiping and also spending unreasonable amounts of money on just looking fashionable and enjoying barely above average food at twenty times the normal cost. There wasn’t really a lot of physical exercise involved. And that was also the reason nobody talked to them. They didn’t register as one of the Oshin Girls because they went actually skiing.
“I wonder if we could get you a snowboard.” Lilisa pictured Tina riding one and immediately felt a bit turned on. Okay, I see the whole appeal now. I really do.
“Won’t it be difficult to learn something new at that short notice?”
“You mean like learning the keyboard? Not that difficult. And it’s not like you are very good on ski either.”
“That is unfortunately true…”
“Let’s go and check out the rental store tomorrow.”
“There’s a rental store?!”
“Rich people…” Lilisa shook her head. “You know, just like I’m glad that you worked up the courage to come to us and join the band, I am glad that you asked me out.”
“Lilisa…!” Tina accidentally exerted her full strength. Which was a surprising amount.
“Urgk. A little less squeeze please.”
“Ah!”
But nights, not just that one, would be full of moments like that. Lilisa got used to it eventually.
=== Rocking Lady ===
“My, congratulations to both of you!” Oto was using her fake surprised voice.
“I cannot believe the balls on you, getting with Tia when you’re giving me shit for wanting Oto.”
“So you finally admit it.” Lily was tuning her guitar while Tia was just watching with the most enormous happy smile, being able to tell her friends, her genuine friends, about herself and Lily.
Shiro just froze up, realizing what she had done.
“Miraclesdo occur.” Oto was shocked too.
“Uh… Oto, I…” Shiro was struggling.
“If you would like to clarify your feelings, please do so now.” Oto did two little strikes on the drums, ready to start practice.
“In front of them?!”
“In front of our dear friends, Lily and Tia.”
That sadist. Lily was enjoying the show.
Between the various conflicting emotions swirling inside of Shiro, there was one that was much stronger than any other. Spite. No way am I letting twintails get away with having a girlfriend after giving me all that shit about Oto, and I don’t. I’d sooner eat shit than let this stand! “I like you, Oto. Be my woman.”
“Woah. Be my woman. What is this, a Yakuza flick?”
“Over my dead body~” Oto just about shot Shiro dead on the spot.
“Ghuh…”
“But-” Oto put on her best sadist smile. “I could let you become my woman. Although some begging might be required.”
“Eh?”
“But of course there is no way you would get on your knees, lower your head, kiss my foot and ask me to let you be my woman, is there?” Oto was really not holding anything back anymore. Between the spike bra and suggesting Sadist Bondage as a band name, it was pretty clear where her inclinations laid.
I’m so glad I dodged that bullet. Lily was smirking up a storm anyway. “Tia, would you perhaps like to join Alice and I for tea at our home this weekend?” She was just pouring salt straight from the barrel, right on Shiro.
Putting down her bass, with her face blistering red in shame and anger and also being very, very turned on already, Shiro went to the drums, got on her knees and looked right up. “Oto, I want-”
“Hm? I thought I was rather clear~”
Shivering with the humiliation already being inflicted on her, Shiro looked down. “Oto, can I-”
“I am hearing some real insolence, Shiro.”
Lily was looking over to Tia, thinking about covering her eyes because the situation was getting very spicy. But her girlfriend was already hyper focused on her keyboard as an escape mechanism.
Several attempts later, Shiro was practically prostrating herself on all fours, kissing Oto’s foot with a head so red that it looked like it was going to dye her hair crimson. “O-Oto. Pl-Please… let me be… your woman.” Her voice was quivering harder than her bass strings during a solo.
“It would be my pleasure.” Oto wasn’t only a sadist of course. “Shiro, up.” Oto had both her drumsticks in one hand and the moment Shiro got back on her feet, she grabbed her hand and pulled her forward so hard, there was a sharp clang when Shiro had to hold onto the ride cymbal. Oto made a show of being the more than obvious dom in that relationship, kissing Shiro right on the spot. And not just a kiss. She was showing off to Lily as well, clearly using her tongue on Shiro. Pushing her away rather roughly the moment she was satisfied, Oto did a quick 2-1-3-1 rhythm once. “Now we can practice.”
“As soon as Shiro comes back down from whatever cloud she’s riding on right now.” Lily snarked at her.
But despite being way out of it, Shiro still managed to pick up her bass. And then let out a sick solo all by herself, as if to express her feelings that way.
Alice, having arrived just in time to hear Oto ask for Shiro to grovel, was watching everything unfold through a tiny gap in the door, red faced and completely stuck. Onee-sama… your band really is something! The bombshell that her precious Onee-sama was dating Tia hadn’t been delivered to her yet. And that was a story for another day.
