Work Text:
Team Summer A made a mostly divisive choice to camp outside for the night, many of the young men and women looking up at the stars as they slept. Ayu wanted to do that. Or, at least, she wanted to do something close to that: look up at the moon as she fell asleep. Ango was busy with something so she couldn't exactly fall asleep in his arms like she preferred. So the moon is a pretty distant silver medal. Still, something had to impede that plan as well: the soft, heartbreaking, annoying sobbing of a nearby team member. Judging from the familiar tone, it appeared to belong to Koruri, who was trying to sleep in her own bag a yard away. Ayu tried to ignore it, to give her her privacy for both of their sakes, but her quiet wailing was making her ears twitch and, even worse, provoking her buried empathy. Sighing, Ayu got out of her sleeping bag and went over to Koruri's, kneeling on one knee and tapping the smaller girl's shoulder.
Koruri looked over at her, her eyes red and her nose sniffling. Ayu reached out and slowly stroked her cheek, locking eyes with the other girl's shiny orbs.
"Koruri...please shut up when I'm trying to sleep." Ayu softly tried to soothe her.
Koruri snorted, wiping her eyes. "Sorry Ayu...I'll try to keep it down. I was just...thinking of Mayu..."
"Hm...yeah." Ayu nodded. She wanted her to know she was listening so she wouldn't have to care.
"Whenever things got this bad, she would hold me...now I can't even remember what she felt like..." Koruri began to sniffle again, causing Ayu to groan before she got in the sleeping bag with her. "A-Ayu?!"
"I can't replicate her scent or touch but...a body's a body, right?" Ayu argued. "Just use me as her substitute tonight."
"I can't ask you to...I..." Koruri tried to argue, only to be met with Ayu's blank stare. "...Thank you."
"No problem. Now go to sleep." Ayu commanded.
"Right..." Koruri turned around and faced away, her cheeks glowing pink. Why did she feel so weird? Is it because the girl dating the guy she likes is sleeping in the bag with her? Is it because Ayu is acting so casually intimate with her when the two never hang out? She desperately doesn't want it to be because Ayu is so pretty and so close...an hour passed before she turned back around to make sure Ayu was asleep.
"What is it now?" Ayu was still wide awake and looking at Koruri with the exact same stoic expression, startling the latter.
"Nothing! I guess...I'm just having trouble going to sleep..." Koruri excused herself.
"Do you need to use the bathroom?" Ayu asked.
"No, I---"
"Are you too hot?"
"No, Ayu---"
"Do you want to masturbate?"
"Miss Ayu, I---wait, what?!" Koruri barely remembered to keep her voice down. "Why would I need to...how could you even ask that?!"
"Masturbation releases endorphins that helps people sleep. Many do it regardless of libido exactly for that reason." Ayu clinically explained. "You don't need to think you're abnormal for needing it."
"Yeah but...I can't do it while you're here." Koruri harshly whispered. "N-not that I want to!"
"Why not? We're both girls." Ayu questioned. "Does my presence throw you off to that extent?"
"It's not...I...I barely ever do it so it doesn't matter whether I was comfortable or not!" Koruri whined.
"I can help you." Ayu's offer sent Koruri's temperature skyrocketing. Now it was too hot in the sleeping bag.
"How would you...no, we can't!" Koruri shook her head. "I'm not into girls and I don't think you are either!"
"As long as the thought of us touching doesn't completely revolt you, our orientations shouldn't factor into us helping each other." Ayu explained. "Human sexuality tends to be mostly fluid. Soldiers overseas tend to hook up due to the lack of presence of women, gay people will seek out opposite sex partners if they wish to have a family...I don't see why one experience should dictate how you see yourself."
Those seem like some suspiciously open-ended examples...and how do you know this stuff?! Koruri wanted to say. Instead, she looked Ayu in the eyes and saw a serene beauty that was threatening to slip through her fingers. Regardless of her type, when's her next chance to be with someone in such a fashion, especially given her current circumstances? She was just going to help her, right? It's not like they were actually going to do anything...
"Fine..." Koruri nodded. "Just show me how to do it...and I'll listen---"
Koruri's hairs stood on end when Ayu's lips met hers, her eyes dilating as a bolt of electricity traveled through her body. She could lie there in stunned silence as she felt Ayu's tongue entered her mouth, feeling her own as Ayu rolled over on top of her.
"How do you feel?" Ayu asked after she broke the kiss, Koruri panting beneath her.
"Wh-wh-what was that for?!" Koruri demanded. "That wasn't masturbating!"
"I was checking to see if that excited you enough to get you going. Are you excited?" Ayu asked.
"Yes but---that was my first kiss!" Koruri admitted while flustered.
"I see. I apologize for being so inconsiderate." Ayu said. "May I keep going?"
"I suppose..." Koruri agreed before feeling her shirt get pulled up, exposing her flat chest. "Ha...?"
"Hm...this is interesting." Ayu said with an odd look.
"What? What's interesting?!" Koruri suspiciously inquired.
"Your chest...is rather cute." Ayu said matter-of-factly as she felt up Koruri's chest, gently kneading her nipples with her fingers.
"Ah ha..." Koruri responded, not offering any resistance as Ayu moved in to steal her lips again. Her tongue moved with Ayu's this time, her previous trepidation melting away to reveal long-frozen desire. Ayu broke the kiss again to lean down and take an erect nipple into her mouth as one of her hands lowered into Koruri's sweatpants, stopping right before reaching her slit.
"Hey, I'm moving kind of fast. Is this okay?" Ayu asked.
Koruri nodded. "Keep going...please."
Ayu returned to her suckling, rubbing a finger through Koruri's folds.
Although...and I should have brought this up before but... Koruri moaned quietly as she felt Ayu's finger enter her. Isn't this just sex?!
Her finger stirred inside Koruri, causing the timid girl to writhe in the impossible cramped bag. When it was removed, Koruri's disappointment was replaced with a higher excitement as Ayu moved down again, lapping at her damp lower lips as Koruri was forced to cover her mouth to keep the others from hearing what was happening. Ayu kept going and Koruri began to shiver, an alien feeling coming over her. Her eyes widened as she came, juices leaking onto Ayu's tongue as she groaned in guilty delight.
Ayu moved up from her awkward position, looking back at Koruri. "Now will you go to sleep?"
"Uh...huh..." Koruri had forgotten the entire reason for her and Ayu's coupling...but she was indeed exhausted. She doesn't get a choice in whether she falls asleep or not now.
"Good." Ayu turned around to face the opposite direction...only to feel Koruri's arms wrap around her, the smaller girl dozing off with her as a personal teddy bear.
Usually, Ayu would be annoyed by such familiarity but she didn't seem to mind this time. Sure, she was the one who suggested it but that wasn't why she was so content with Koruri's actions. No, she seemed borderline elated at Koruri's reaction.
Did she...want Koruri to hold her?
"This is bad..." Ayu yawned as she looked up at the moon, wondering how she is going to explain this to the others without looking like some sort of loose chick.
