Work Text:
Haruka and Airi were in their respective rooms, the girls on a call with each other that they had spent almost entirely flirting rather than talking about…literally anything else. Not that they minded however, they recently did another concert and this respite was more than appreciated.
That’s when it came across Airi’s mind that she and Haruka should go on a date. She always dated with Shizuku, and Minori probably saw even their training as dates (though she still owed her a proper one), but Haruka in particular she hadn’t been on a date with for a while now, mainly due to the fact both girls were workaholics who tended to get absorbed in their work and often forgot how to relax.
”And so I was thinking, we should totally go to the beach, just the two of us! I mean the others could tag along, but I want this to be just you and me, what do you think?”
“Really, the beach again Airi? At this point I’m beginning to think you’re obsessed with it…”
The pinkette rebuked. “Hey, it’s a nice place to date and take a load off! And plus, why would I pass up an opportunity to see you in a swimsuit~?”
Haruka giggled, a hand over her mouth.
”Well, better make sure your eyes stay on me the whole time, then~”
And after another extended round of more flirting and spicy comments, the two ended the call, already getting ready for their little private outing.
That was how the pair found themselves under the bright sun of a Tokyo beach, too bright one might think, as it was practically glaring down at them with maximum luminosity - as though they somehow wronged it by just deciding to bask in its rays on this particular day.
Thankfully for them, they always came prepared for such a situation, and after finding themselves a more secluded portion of the sandy beach to have to themselves, planted down their umbrellas and set up some chairs, of course placing them practically fused to each other’s, just so they can literally be as close to each other as possible.
“Anddd done, I laid down the sheets too, before you say I forgot!”
”I wasn’t going to…but thank you, Airi. Though I could’ve helped easily..”
“Nonsense! I can’t have you putting in more effort than you already do all the time. Just let me treat you today.”
Haruka smiled, and went to sit down on the blanket Airi had prepared for her so generously. Though she felt anxious about the fact she wasn’t helping her with anything, since she told her to relax she will, and she actually found herself already having her mind at ease under the shore’s breeze and the sun’s harsh rays, which used to sting, were blocked almost entirely by their umbrellas, leaving only the lovely ambient warmth that enabled Haruka to forget almost all her worries in seconds.
Airi meanwhile, was doing a few stretches before also joining her girlfriend where she sat. Although she wasn’t nearly as “relaxed”, but not in a bad way - much the opposite actually, as she’s been staring at Haruka this entire time, and unable to stop herself from just admiring her…everything, really. Haruka was a gem in her eyes, and she was practically sparkling at the current moment.
Dammit, I’m down bad…
Unlike her past self, Haruka wasn’t as oblivious to the point that she seemed wholly clueless - by now she was aware of Airi’s and by extension all of her girlfriends’ little hidden peeks at her they liked to sneak in from time to time and the affection they harbored for her (though it was arguable if someone like Minori hid it at all), and she knew Airi was likely checking her out this entire time, so she simply turned towards her, a hand on her head and stroking her fluffy pink hair the tiniest bit as she had a slight smirk.
”Something’s got your attention, cutie~?”
That one word, combined with the way Haruka looked at her and how she touched her - were enough to completely shatter Airi’s already fragile heart, sending her into a blushing frenzy as her face turned almost pinker than her own hair. She almost hated it how easy it was to fluster her - if not for the fact she equally loved the extra affection it always ended up granting her from her loved ones afterwards, especially from the blue duo.
”Gaah- don’t start w-with this already…! Am I not allowed to admire my beautiful girlfriend when she’s looking pretty…?”
Airi’s response, although intended to be a comeback, came out as something wholly adorable instead of the seductive feeling she was aiming for, especially with how her voice slightly cracked towards the end realizing how sappy she was being. Haruka only loved this though, and landed a kiss on her forehead, dragging her hand through Airi’s hair before giving her some distance.
”Now I never said that. in fact, I welcome it - stare as much as you want, there’s plenty of me to go around~”
The pinkette really wanted to just (lovingly) slap the teasing penguin lover right then and there, but one way or another she held herself back, mostly as her brain was firing off a million neurons at once trying to process what the hell this woman was doing to her. How is it that she’s still so weak to a girl she sees practically every single day..?
Instead of possibly embarrassing herself further with responding, Airi silently, and cutely, pressed herself against Haruka, and looked away from her with her arms crossed, a short pout visible on her face as her mad blush was only dying down, if not only slightly.
“Aww, don’t give me the silent treatment now…I’m sorry, did I tease you too much? You’re just so cute that I can’t help it..”
Haruka leaned more into this position, keeping herself pressed against Airi’s body like a magnet, and extending an arm to wrap around her girlfriend’s body, more specifically around her exposed stomach - and she was easily able to do so, as she was taller and built more muscular than Airi was, able to keep her close to her just in case she had any thoughts of possibly running away - though she already knew that she loved this kind of affection, much to the pinkette’s dismay and lack of admission.
”Hey-! I didn’t…say you could do that- Grr! Forget it, you’re not going to listen to a thing I say are you…”
”Hmm…if it means I get to see you acting like this more? Then absolutely not~”
The blue idol giggled audibly, while Airi just sighed in defeat, but showing a smile of her own almost right after. She wasn’t actually mad, and definitely not upset, it was just her vague sense of pride that made her feel like she shouldn’t give in so easily, but what was she even resisting this for? Her girlfriend was being so kind to her, even if she was obviously trying to rile her up intentionally…it only made sense for her to accept it and appreciate it.
And besides, she knew that Haruka only acted like this when she was truly feeling comfortable - with their growing schedules getting busier by the day, there were less and less chances for her to just have fun like this, and it’s absolutely not something either of them are allowed to do during their careers, it’d only end catastrophically. So little moments like this, where they could just be in each other’s presence, with her love holding her like she was really hers (she was), and they could flirt and tease each other as much as they wanted…Airi wouldn’t dare try to complain.
….There was just one thing though, one thing the pinkette felt was missing, that’d really make this moment feel the most special. She’s not proud to admit that it’s been occupying her mind far more than she wanted it to, but all that was missing…was that last physical touch she craved from her love. One that would really make her day all the more complete, the question was how would she even begin to lead into it?
”Airi? You look like you have something on your mind…”
Haruka of course, didn’t take long to notice, though admittedly Airi wasn’t doing a good job at hiding it, with her staring at the floor of the sandy beach for no particular reason and spacing out, and part because Haruka was also guilty of being unable to take her eyes away from her adorable partner’s figure, like she was scared she would suddenly disappear if she took her eyes off of her for a single moment.
”Hey, Haruka…kiss with me, please?”
The words came out naturally - she didn’t need to think twice. Airi was turned to face towards the other idol, and her expression gave away that she was absolutely serious about this. in case Haruka needed a little more hint, one of her hands reached to tightly grip Haruka’s own, while her other one was right on her right cheek, gently caressing it as her pink eyes gazed right into the idol’s blue ones, with clear desire and need.
Haruka seemed to open her mouth for just a second to say something, but after closing it again with a pause, she smiled warmly, before making a short nod, and granting Airi the sight she wanted to see so badly - the gentle, sweet blue idol with her soft, pink lips pursed, offering them right up to her lover.
in an instant, Airi closed the gap between their mouths, her own lips diving into Haruka’s, bringing her face up and closer, close enough that they were almost touching noses, but neither of them seemed to care, or more accurately couldn’t, as they were focused on each other entirely, and feeling the other’s lips - feeling them press together, gently, lovingly, and then, going right beyond that, a sudden heat wave of passion taking over the two of them, as Airi was the first one who opened her mouth, and extended her tongue, knocking on Haruka’s metaphorical door for permission, which she was granted in seconds, as the younger girl’s own tongue, slightly less experienced but just as passionate and excited, danced with her lover’s own, the two of them engaging in a heated, but delicate dance of love in their mouths as their tongues wrestled with each other, and keeping their lips firmly pressed against the other’s - with the heat again getting to the more sensitive of the two first, Airi, as she unceremoniously knocked down Haruka onto the beach blanket, kissing- no, making out with her right on top of her, holding both of her hands with a tight grip that threatened her if she dared to stop kissing her right now.
But of course Haruka didn’t. She might not be as excitable and vulnerable as Airi was, but she was not to be outdone here - her competitive nature always shone in these kinds of moments, and she firmly accepted this duel of love between the two of them. While she easily lost to Airi in pure kissing ability, her tongue pinned and kept the pink idol’s own tongue down, a reverse of their actual situation as Haruka’s face grew red with her desires burning up and just a slight lack of breath - they’ve already been at this for a minute, but idols had good stamina, and this was nothing if she could prove to Airi she was the dominant one in this scenario, continuing to tussle with her girlfriend’s pink tongue, leaking saliva over her mouth and Airi’s as proof of their love for one another, or that they might be taking simple kissing far too seriously.
But it was clear who had the advantage in this situation, and it wasn’t Airi. Energetic and full of stamina she was, she couldn’t compare to the sheer passion to come out on top that Haruka boasted, part due to lacking the fierce competition nature the queen of penguins had, and part, because she simply loved having her girlfriend try so hard to prove herself when she really didn’t need to - it was all the proof Airi needed that Haruka truly adored her, and having her tongue pinned by a cute girl while sloppily kissing her with just a bonus on top of that. In about a minute and a half, the two lovers finally broke the stalemate, with Airi being the one to concede defeat as she had to breathe, and heavily at that - while a thick line of saliva connected their lips as they looked at each other’s sweaty, reddened faces, obviously having lost track of time and gotten too absorbed in their little match…but it was stupid to think they weren’t going to do it again in a few minutes.
”Hhaahhh…! G-Gosh, do you even k-know what holding back is…!? I felt like you were about to swallow my tongue in there…”
”Haaahh…~ I can’t say…I planned that, but I did make sure to swallow lots of your spit, my dear~”
Airi blinked at Haruka for a few clear moments, before just slapping her outright for such a comment, that she obviously did not love and did not make her feel things whatsoever.
Haruka though just chuckled in return, entirely unbothered, and when she sensed Airi trying to get up, she wrapped her arms around her back, keeping her on top of her and their lips almost pressed together as the blue idol had a growing smirk on her face while she looked at her girlfriend.
”And where do you think you’re going? That wasn’t even two minutes, I’m sure we can go for much longer than that…Stay with me, Airi~”
”HAAAH-!? YOU’RE GOING TO KILL ME-!”
Despite her protest, Airi did in fact give in almost immediately after Haruka gave her the smallest hint of puppy eyes - going for another round of kiss-dueling, then another, then another, and a few more after that…
Before the two of them knew it, it was already approaching sunset, and as tempting as it sounded to spend their whole day out kissing and making out with each other, they’d soon drown in their smells before drowning in each other’s spit. So they decided to end off their little beach date by actually going swimming for the first time that day, and yes, Haruka did use every opportunity she had to splash water at Airi whenever she could…
Airi got back at her in the bedroom later that night, so everything worked out in the end.
