Training Day (Open to One)

“You mean you were born that w…” Meninas was about to ask when suddenly she felt Anis’s hands coming around and sponging her breasts. Her face turned completely scarlet and she tensed up again, not knowing if she should push the blonde woman away. It was so embarrassing and she’d never felt another woman’s hands on her chest before but there was a part of her that…liked it. God, what was she thinking now? This whole day had been a rollercoaster and the Sternritter wasn’t sure if she was coming or going. In the end, she didn’t fight Anis off, realising that perhaps in her friend's mind, it was simply an act of helping her wash rather than where Meninas was trying to keep her mind from awkwardly drifting off to.

Trying to talk about anything other than what was happening, she would ask. “You sound so cheerful about the whole affair. I don’t think I’ve met anyone who can go through so much and think back on it in such a happy way.”

There was a noticeable change in positioning as Meninas turned around during Anis’s unhappy tirade. Clearly she’d made a mess of saying what she’d meant to say and the tall Sternritter was starting to feel rather guilty because of it. To undermine her friend’s suffering wasn’t what she’d intended but seemingly as usual, the pink haired woman had managed to mess it all up. She was annoyed with herself for managing to upset her friend but she wasn’t sure what she should say or do in order to make up for it.

While Anis moved on to a different topic, Meninas would still be thinking about what had just happened, which eventually caused her to cut off what the blonde was saying and pull her into a hug, her bare body up against her friends. “I’m sorry for saying that in such a clumsy way. I didn’t mean to upset you or anything like that. I guess I’m just useless when it comes to saying what I mean to say.”

“You have such a better way with words than I do.” Meninas replied, finally seeming to have adapted to Anis’s blunt way of speaking, taking the advice far better than she had previously. She hated the fact that it took her so long to feel comfortable and the Sternritter had no idea why it was the case. Maybe she was just stupid, as her brothers had always claimed her to be, too awkward to do anything other than just embarrass herself in conversation. Urgh, she was already falling back into her self deprecating ways.

Wanting to change the subject, Meninas would shyly return the favour from before by moving behind Anis and beginning to scrub her back. She couldn’t help but notice the slightly malnourished body of her friend and the pink haired warrior couldn’t help but feel a little concerned. If there was one thing that she knew about, it was keeping one’s body at peak physical fitness. Her cheeks did redden again though as she looked down to her friends rear, her head shooting back up pretty quickly. The whole affair had been embarrassing but looking back on it now, she couldn’t help but smile a little. She must have felt every emotion under the sun today.

She was rather curious about Anis’s lack of reaction to her embrace and somehow found herself saying. “You know…if we ever really do become girlfriends then I’ll expect you to hug me back.” An attempt at humour? Perhaps.
