Notes: I haven't written in a while, but I hope you enjoy this story. I don't own Voltage or any of its characters, but I own this story.

Here goes...

His POV

*Slam* 

That's the sound my office door made after I walked in and forcefully shut it behind me. Mind you, I don't always close the door that way - my parents raised me to become the well-mannered person that I usually am - except when a certain someone is involved. 

I'm sure that you've already guessed who I'm talking about. She also goes by the following aliases - Kappa Nagano, the snapping turtle of Nagano, my aide, my turtle… My girlfriend. Even after dating for over a year, she never ceases to amaze me with all the different emotions and reactions she manages to draw from me simply by being her usual self - like that one time she tried asking other guys to watch a meteor shower with her instead of asking me because she thought I'd say no, or that time when she drank whisky neat in front of her ex-boyfriend and passed out. I never pegged myself to be the jealous type until I met her. 

And now she's doing it again. The worst part is that I can't even read her this time around - either she's gotten better at hiding things or I've become sloppy at snooping her out. 

Wait, I've become sloppy at snooping her out? That's so incredibly lame! When did I become so uncool? 

Do you think I'm overreacting? You would, too, if you have a puzzle you can't figure out. Anyway, I'll tell you exactly what's gotten me into a foul mood. 

It was about a week ago when I started noticing a change in my girl's behavior. 

—-

"You seem busy."

She looked up at me from her spot on the couch. We arrived home from the Jurassic Land exhibit a few minutes ago, and already, my girl has plopped down on the sofa while tinkering with her phone. Again. For the hundredth time since I saw her this morning. And she wasn't just tinkering with her phone, she was holding it suspiciously close to her - like an ace student who wouldn't let her classmates copy off her exam. 

"Homework?" I asked, pretending I didn't know that she didn't have any. "Anything you need help on?" I wanted to give her a fair chance to tell me what it was that was stealing her attention away from me. 

I watched her eyes widen, and her cheeks flush. She clumsily fumbled with her phone and chucked it into her bag. "N-no. I'm okay. I was… I was texting with Naruko," she said with as much confidence as she could muster. 

What a liar, I thought, but decided to play along. "Oh really? What could be bothering Miss Sasaki so much, she'd exchange messages with you for four hours." 

I barely kept a straight face as I watched her eyes widen so much, I thought they'd pop out. "It's nothing. She's just… uh…"

And so, there I was sitting through her painfully made-up story of why her classmate was 'texting' her on a weekend. At one point, she promised to give me her full attention. But like most promises, that one ended up being broken. As soon as I hopped in the shower, she was busy with her phone with a goofy smile on her face. 

—

Her goofy smile as she tinkered with her phone has been a hot topic in the Instructors' room, too. As expected, Toru is the first one to comment on my girl's head-in-the-clouds expression. 

"It looks like she's found herself a boyfriend," my self-declared partner-in-crime harped annoyingly after he spotted my girl walking down the corridor while tapping away on her phone. 

"I've noticed that, too. It's like there's a spring in her step these days," Soma chimed in - not that anyone asked him. 

"My aide always has a spring in her step," I said, trying to keep it casual. 

"Yes, but it's different this time," Goto interjected thoughtfully, as he showed me her most recent test, which she aced. "She seems to be more determined to get good marks. Whatever the reason is, she's inspired."

The collective oohs and aahs from everyone in the room was driving me to the edge. I'm so annoyed already, why can't everyone just shut up?

I said a silent prayer to whatever Gods were listening, but they may have been attending to other matters at the moment because who else should stir the pot more but the chief? 

"So, the little bird is in love? That's wonderful. There's nothing better than young love."

"She's hardly even young anymore," I muttered under my breath as I desperately tried to keep my temper in check. This was getting more ridiculous by the minute. Was she seeing someone else behind my back? She can't be. I mean, she's in love with me, right? At least the last time I checked, she seemed to be. 

"What do you think, Ayumu?"

The Chief's question snapped me out of the little deliberation I had going on in my head. The next thing I know, all eyes were on me, as if I were the subject of an interrogation. 

I put on my best fake smile and gathered the papers that were stacked in front of me. "I think I've had enough idle time, so it's time for me to make my rounds," I said, as I stood and headed for the door.

I could've sworn I heard Toru say something to the chief about how sensitive I was, but I couldn't care less - I'd rather remove myself from the situation before they remove me from my teaching position. 

As I shut the door of the Instructors' Room, I came face-to-face with the very reason I bolted out of the room I was in. There she was with her friend Naruko - her phone in hand, and a goofy smile on her face. 

"I got a Super Happy Ending with Munechika. It took me a while, but I finally got to experience that toe-curling first kiss," I heard her declare cheerfully. 

Munechika, huh? Who the heck is he? And what's that about a toe-curling kiss? I was seething in anger just by listening to her go on and on about her mysterious new boyfriend. That cheater! 

"Right? Aren't tsundere the best?" Nakuro chirped happily beside her before our eyes met. "Hey, it's Instructor Shinonome!" 

After hearing my name, my girl halted abruptly and her eyes widened. Great, I thought. This is just perfect. 

"I-Instructor…," she stammered and pocketed her phone quickly. 

Oblivious of the tension between us, her trusty accomplice prattled on like I was part of their conversation to start with, while my cheating girl's eyes looked everywhere but at me. I could feel my breath hitch and my blood boils the longer I stayed. 

"A new guy, you say?" I looked pointedly at my girl, who now looked like she wanted the earth to swallow her whole. "I can't say I understand his taste in women, but well, as long as you're both single…" I said, emphasizing the last two words before I walked off as quickly as I could. To where you ask? Why, to my office, of course. 

I thought I heard her call my name, but my ears were throbbing and I had to get behind the safety of my office. It's one thing that I knew she was spending more time on her phone, but hearing her say another man's name out loud - was just too much. 

So now, here I am in my office, taking a few calming breaths to regain my composure. And just as I was getting my rhythm back, I heard the door bust open, and in comes my girl - with beads of sweat on her forehead and a little short of breath. 

But I can't deal with her right now. 

"Instructor -"

"I'm busy at the moment," I lied and swiveled the chair so I wasn't facing her. "Why don't you just come back after class? I'll probably have something for you to work on then." 

From behind, I could hear her walking towards me - her steps as well as her breathing were measured. "This won't take long." her voice was directly behind my chair so I held my breath and closed my eyes, hoping that she wouldn't see me in this state. "You were shaking when you left, and I had to come after you…"

I gasped. Was I too upset to realize I was shaking earlier? I was going to respond to her, but thought better of it. After all, they do say less talk, less mistakes, right?  I quietly sat with my back to her. Even when I couldn't see her, I could tell she was nervous - probably wringing her hands together. 

"Well?"

"Well," she said, breathing in sharply. "I think you misunderstood…"

"Hm?"

"Munechika…" 

"Oh, your new guy?"

"Instructor," she said, coming around to face me. I can tell she was deeply distressed. "Munechika isn't a real guy." 

Not a real guy? Now, I'm confused. 

"He's a 2D character from this otome game that Naruko recommended a week ago," she continued while showing me an animated guy in a scrub suit. "He's a fictional doctor who's hot and cold. I picked him because he reminds me of you. I'm sorry if you were worried, but I would never cheat on you."

2D, otome… So, you mean to tell me I've been jealous of a fictional character this whole time? This is making me cringe big time, but I think my face must've loosened up because I heard her sigh with relief. And now, she's got that goofy smile on her face again, but this time her eyes are on me, like they're supposed to be. 

"What are you smiling there for?" I asked. "You're not off the hook yet."

"You can't still be mad at me."

"Oh? And what about that toe-curling kiss you were talking to your little friend about?"

I know I sounded ridiculous, but I couldn't help it. And now, it was her turn to gasp. "Oh, come on," she said, her face turning red. "You give me so much more than toe-curling kisses, and you know it."

I smirked. "Do I? After hearing you go on about this 2D fantasy guy, I'm really not sure anymore…"

"But I do love your kisses, Instructor," she said, earnestly.

"Oh? Then prove it," I challenged her.

Her eyes shot wide. "What? Like, here?" 

I sat back and watched her look around, obviously worried someone would walk in on us. But no less than five seconds later, she gives me yet another surprise. 

Here in my office, on my chair, with the girl I love most on my lap, giving me the best toe-curling kiss I've ever had. She wins again. She always wins with me. That's how crazy I am about this silly girl. I guess she can keep playing her otome games and have silly little crushes on 2D guys who remind her of me. I suppose I wouldn't mind - much - after all, otomes always end with game over, but as for me, I'll give my girl the Super Happy Ending she never knew she's always wanted. 

The end.

Who is "Professor Overshare" and who is "Professor Brick wall" in their relationship? (Public Safety Instructors x MC) (Headcanons)

Jin Namba

Overshare + Brick wall: Jin is an overshare about his colleagues. All the cadets know how anxious Goto was when his wife was pregnant, how Kaga never curses near his kids, how Soma is the one to braid his daughter's hair, how Kurosawa goes into dad mode when he gets a call from school, how Ayumu wanted to name his daughter something peach-related, how Ishigami is all laugh and smiles near his family. But cadets have no idea what Jin kids are doing, even if they heard that he is married. He is too protective of them for this.

Brick wall: MC doesn't have enough guts to spill the other Instructors' tea in front of the students. And she has a pact with Jin not to talk about their kids. So, she comes more of a brick wall than expected. Yet, sometimes she tells them that she has a family, even if no one knows who is her family. Except the fact that they know who her husband is.

Hideki Ishigami

Brick wall: Most of his students don't even know his first name, what family status are you talking about? The most they can get is his wedding band. But if a cadet is courageous enough to ask him about it, they'll get a death stare. It's actually someone else, probably Goto or Namba who accidentally mentioned that he is married. And then, it clicked to whom, considering that they have another Ishigami professor.

Brick wall: MC is not a brick wall because she wants to be, but because she is afraid to disappoint her husband. Yet, she do actually tells students that she has a husband and kids. And when they find out who the person behind her stories is, they are bewildered.

Hyogo Kaga

Overshare: Kaga is not your typical overshare professor. He doesn't talk about his personal life to brag. He does it accidentally because it's so natural for him. Like: "I don't trust anyone but Ayumu and my wife." "Even my wife was better than you at this, and she was the worst student you can imagine." "My kids can understand this and you don't? They aren't even in elementary school."

Brick wall: MC. It's not that she doesn't talk about her personal life, she just knows that no one will ever believe her that she is married to Kaga. So, the most she says that is not related to the lesson are encouragements and stories from her youth.

Shusuke Soma

Overshare: MC. Who won't brag about being married to Soma? MC definitely sometimes feels jealous over girl students that crush on her husband, even if Soma reminds her every day that they are married. So, she once is a while talks about her husband and sometimes even kids to make a point. Yet, there are also moments when she accidentally without any jealousy involved does it and she is adorable.

Brick wall: Soma. Cadets know that he is married, because he rejected some of the girls saying this. Though, every time a student asks him about his personal life, he is as evasive as always. He gives answer, but no one knows what do they mean. So, no one really knows what is happening in his life before getting to MC's lessons.

Seiji Goto

Overshare: Goto. This man is a simp. No. He is a HUGE SIMP. There's no way MC and his kids aren't his background, lockscreen, profile picture, and everything around him. At first, students thought he is aloof, then they saw him interacting with MC and talking about his kids, and they understood that he is just shy with them. So, cadets even tease him from time to time. Once, a group of them met him outside the Academy while he was with his son, and nearly melted into a puddle due to how cute they were.

Overshare: Who won't overshare that they are married to Goto? Have you seen this man? Damn, MC may not be as cute as Goto with all his lockscreens and backgrounds, but she has the most wholesome stories about her family. She isn't openly a simp for Goto, but she is the cutest wife someone can ask for.

Ayumu Shinonome

Overshare: Everyone expected him to be a playboy, and he then said he was married. Then, the students expected him to divorce, then he took a day off to celebrate his anniversary. Then, the students expected him to be child free, and a few days later he came in with his daughter. Ayumu doesn't talk, he just likes to mess with his students and low-key demonstrating them how bad they are at reading people.

Brick wall: The same as Kaga's case - no one will ever believe that she is married to Ayumu. Yet, she knows him for so long that she understands what he is doing with his little overshare game. So, she tries to be as tight-lipped as possible, not to destroy her husband's joy. However, at least once a semester she drops a bomb before Ayumu, to mess with him for every time he was a tease with her.

Toru Kurosawa

Overshare: Toru. Has anyone has doubts? He probably came into his first class with his family album of his family with MC. Cadets know the names he wanted to name his children but got rejected, the way his heart flutters when MC kiss him goodbye, how hard it is for him to leave for missions. Everything.

Brick wall: Every one is a Brick wall in comparison with Toru. Even if MC makes a 24h video about a day in their life, she won't get to the level of Toru's oversharing.

[koumeowkami]

so i'm watching the i★chu anime for funsies (cause i can't be bothered to sit through the whole main story from the game) and it feels so damn weird. it's basically a mix of some other franchises i've been through till now... so um *checks notes*

this whole thing happens in an academy for idols and the mc is a producer (enstars)

the units get kicked out if they don't sell (dearvo)

the principal is a teddy bear (dearvo... even tho that's actually a panda but let's not fuss over the details)

the units then participate to a show that features japan's best new idols (i7)

there's yet another couple of twins... and they have their own unit... their colors are blue and pink... they're really close and care for each other a lot... they're pranksters... they make techno pop music... (🤨)

there's anOTHER CHARACTER NAMED KANATA WHAT THE HELL. this is like the 4th time dude

there's a unit of 3 goth edgy magicians and their leader is a bit of an oddball (undead x switch collab omg. the leader thing applies to both rei and natsume btw)

there's a very insufferable kid with pink hair and green eyes voiced by ayumu murase (kokoro isn't even that bad. i've seen worse tori)

there's this guy voiced by massun that reminds me of haruta (hanadoll) SO MUCH. so i'm mentioning that

Class: 3-D (no. 13)

Club: NRC Newspaper Club

Best Subject: N/A

🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍

Appearence: Archie is a young individual with cream colored hair, pink right eye, black button left eye, petite body and pale skin.

In their “school uniform”, they wear a blue beanie (sometimes they wear a white one), a white tank top, a black jacket, a pair of black jeans with a golden stripe on each side facing outwards and a pair of white sneakers with white shoelace.

Personality: They seem usually polite, cheerful and a bit childish. Although they sound like you don’t want to mess with them sometimes...

🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍

Unique Magic: “Hollow World”

It allows them to create a gate to their world where they can shape it to the people’s desire. They mainly shape it to be the exact same as the peoples’ world though...

[x] + Gacha Life 2

🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍

Fun Facts:

They are actually nonbinary, but they have a masculine appearence. (He/they)

They have a habit of giving others a doll of themselves. Like giving Riddle a doll of himself.

They seem awfully protective of the dolls they give...

They are NOT a human, they are [REDACTED]

They are protective of Yuu/MC.

No matter how many times other Ramshackle residents cleans their room, it always seems to be dusty and covered in cobwebs.

They enjoy going to the beach, but they can’t swim... That’s why they collect shiny things!

They seem to be fond of birds.

[more information is yet to come, stay tuned!]

Their true form under the cut.

(t/w: spider and needles.)

Design notes + more “fun” facts:

Unlike Beldam’s true form, Archie retains at least some flesh... On their face and some parts on their body it is. Also, it’s meant to look like a mix of spider and skeleton!

Their main reason to dislike cats is that a cat took their eye before and they had to replace it with a button one because they were unable to regenerate it themselves...

In their true form, they produce a lot of cobwebs and it may look messy sometimes... They are trying to hide the webs though!

They also have several cracks on their body because they were getting injured a lot of times by the humans they met before... The humans were hostile though... They always attacked them, but they kept giving them a second chance to change. (The townspeople never did.)

They give others dolls as a token of friendship, yes, but they do it to watch over their friends. They want them to be safe and they worry about their friends... sometimes...

Prompt # A Soft Kappa Plushie

HLITF (MC x Ayumu Pairing)

One day MC gave Ayumu a Kappa plushie. She gave him that, cause she had to go to undercover mission out of the town and they likely won’t get to see each other for quite some time.

She was so gloomy and like ‘Here, I present you Kappa-san. You may hug it if you miss me’. As usual Ayumu probably will try to dismissed her by saying ‘Dummy, why would I miss you? And what is that? A Kappa, really?!’ and despite of his sarcasm he still kept the plushie by the bed at his apartment. By the fifth days after MC went undercover, Ayumu would end up hugging the plushie not because he missed his MC but because the plushy was so soft. He tried to convince himself that it was the truth.

‘Yeah, the plushie is so soft but I think that child is soft too’ Ayumu just couldn’t help but thinking that his MC was so soft too. Finally, after MC finished her mission the couple got to spend their time together. By the end of the day they would be end up cuddling. While MC was found soundly sleeping, Ayumu was still awake. He catched a glimpse of Kappa plushie at the corner of the room and then he glanced toward MC

‘As expected, I love the real one the best.’

I am sorry about this lousily gif I made. I made this prompt when I had lunch break, I just couldn’t stop staring at the picture, so here I am. This is before I knew the real story of how Ayumu ended up hugging the Kappa. 😂

I’m trying to translate the chibi manga on the booklet and will upload it later (or maybe I’ll end up uploading it without translating it)

[rikumorimachisgirl]

He made a candy rose for MC and hurt his finger in the process. Sigh! He's such a sweet guy! 😍😍😍

I have another AU crossover idea

Yuma's twin brother AU X TWST MC Yuma AU

Unnamed(Yes, that's his placeholder name) either goes to NRC with Yuma or, while Yuma gets put in NRC, Unnamed ends up in RSA.

stuff i’ve done masterpost

~~Translations~~

This is content from the Japanese versions of the apps that have not yet been translated into English (at the time of posting). With the exception of the first two Shinonome stories, all content posted publicly will be content that was originally free in the app. *Please be aware that the characters might sound different from how they sound in their respective apps--I’m not trying to copy Voltage’s translation style or duplicate the exact speech patterns. I want to localize otome games professionally in the future, so my goal is simply to practice translating Japanese into natural sounding English that conveys the same story.

Her Love In The Force:

Don't Think You Can Flirt So Easily: Shinonome  You’ve lost your confidence as Shinonome’s girlfriend and end up consulting Goto for advice. When Goto pats you on the head during your meeting, it feels like you’re the heroine from a shoujo manga. But it turns out Shinonome was watching?!

Misunderstandings: Shinonome You’re put in a pinch when he discovers the female orientated X-rated video you were given! But the kisses he gives you makes your heart race more than any adult video~❤️

Ayumu Peach Fan Club+more - 2021 Birthday Celebration I did a 12 day countdown for Ayumu’s birthday where I released content from his Peach fan club (& some other sources) every day! It also includes a commercial and two full special stories. Lots of content. I did not sleep those 12 days.

Romance MD: Always On Call:

Kasumi Birthday Mini-Story  Since Kasumi won second place in the 100恋+ election, Voltage wrote a mini story in celebration of his birthday!

Court of Darkness:

Special Reward  Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 Fully voiced video story with Rio and Toa!

Birthday Chats  Lynt | Toa | Grayson | Jasper | Fenn | Tino | Guy | Dia | Lou | Knight This year for character’s birthdays the Japanese app has been releasing little chat group images. CoD is translating a few of them on twitter, but many of them remain untranslated--so my friend and I decided to translate and typeset them ourselves!

👀👀👀 Stories Tino | Roy Please message me directly. 18+ only.

Fragments of Dormant Love: Lance Ira Chapter 1 | Chapter 2 | Chapter 3 | Last Chapter  Event story where Lance loses his memory! The entire story is told in his POV. 

Time Spun From Miracles: Lance Ira Chapter 1 | Chapter 2 | Chapter 3 | Last Chapter Lance is forced to teach a special lecture! Don’t you think ‘Professor Lance’ has a nice ring to it? His dynamic with MC in this is absolutely adorable and wonderful, you don’t want to miss it!

The Kiss Scandal Scramble - Lance Ira/Jasper Lane Chapter 1 | Chapter 2 | Chapter 3 | Good End (💕🥰😍) | Bad End (🚩🙅‍♀️🚨) A story where Lance saves us from Jasper? Sign me the fuck up. My heard was highkey pounding so hard while I read this story ngl. 

Harem Route/Princes’ Path - Book 4 - Childhood Chapters Lance | Toa Stories where Lance and Toa compete for the saddest, most heartbreaking childhood award! Jk, but...seriously, these things are fucking sad. 

~~Fan Fiction~~

I finally started writing again after having not written since I was, like, 12! Otome game/visual novel style turns out to be much less work to write... For a lot of the stories, my goal is to make it seem like it could be one of my translations as far as keeping the characters in character. Which, I know part of the thing with fan fiction is you can change the characters however you’d like, but...yeah, lol. Anyways, I hope you enjoy reading these!

Court of Darkness:

The Reality of Fiction: Toa Chapter 1 | Chapter 2 | Chapter 3 | Last Chapter | Epilogue Toa seems to be hiding something, but you have no idea what it could be! The next day in class, you hear a classmate talk about being cheated on by her paramour. You try to brush it off but then you realize that the behaviors she described seem awfully similar to how your own paramour has been behaving lately...No way, could Toa be...?!

Nighttime Girls’ Talk Part 1 | Part 2 You're having a fun girls night with Sherry and Violet when the topic suddenly changes to...blowjobs?!

Afternoon Reading (Explicit) - Toa Part 1 | Part 2 | His POV After spending a very educational night in the library with Sherry and Violet, you wind up putting your newly learned skills to the test?! “Then...go ahead, seduce me.” (Explicit sequel to Nighttime Girls’ Talk. 18+ only.)

Jasper Lane: Reimagined Jasper’s route, except he’s not a sex offender this time! :D A reimagined main route for Jasper Lane featuring a new plot, new drama, a smarter & bolder MC, + best of all: no sexual assault!

Scones & Secret Feelings Chapter 1 | Chapter 2 | Chapter 3 | Last Chapter | Epilogue After realizing you have a crush on one of your close friends, you find yourself in a situation you would’ve never expected... A story that Voltage is too much of a coward to give us!

The Kitten You’re out on a field trip when you find a baby kitten! Wait-, why is Lance carrying around a blanket in this hot weather? Where did that kitten formula come from?? Un-magical Altercations - Lance Ira Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 Guy lost his magic...and you’re the only thing that could help?! Yikes! This isn’t going to end well...

Awkward Encounters (Explicit) - Lance Ira  Part 1 | Part 2  A rainstorm leaves you and Lance stuck in a hotel room together for a night. You’re already struggling to keep your thoughts strictly appropriate...but then you walk in on him naked! The story is told from both his perspective and yours! (18+ only)

Summer of Smut Challenge - Day 2

Back for day 2 with some more NPC love, although given the pretty transparent sadism of the author it may not look like much love for the NPCs in question.

Prompt: Applying Sunscreen

Otome: HLITF (Love365)

Ship: (Unrequited) love triangle MC x Suitor (Shinonome) x OC (Reader); NPC’s pov (Chiba)

Warning: Accidental voyeurism; sex in public place (mildly graphic)

“I’m so glad we have girls in the Academy now. I can get help with reaching my back” Instructor Shinonome waved his suncream bottle to get the attention of the two young women in our group. Sasaki looked at me knowingly: she knew I liked the girl who was his aide, and I had a feeling he knew it too. Of course he did. As if the genius of Public Safety would not pick up on something so obvious. I’m sure everyone knew except for her, she could be really dense. She reluctantly picked the bottle and knelt behind him. He turned to look at me like he had deliberately tried to make me jealous. And, of course, it had worked, her hands gliding on every curve of his muscles with incredible precision. I tried to tell myself it was no more than, like, giving a massage, we were on a public beach after all, but my mind could not be stopped from spiralling. In my thoughts, her hands were caressing his back as he laid on top of her, flexing and squeezing as pleasure hit her with every thrust. I could even hear her sweet voice calling out to him...”Oh, Ayumu”. It was not her voice calling him then, though. It was Instructor Kaga, and the tone was nothing like the sultry one of my imagining. I returned to attention, and noticed she had already moved away, blushing from head to toes. I felt a hand squeezing my shoulder: “You should tell her”. Before I could reply, Instructor Shinonome had called her back saying I needed help with the suncream, too. He smirked and walked away to join Instructor Kaga while I hoped a hole would open up below my feet and swallow me whole.

“I can’t put the suncream on you if you’re dressed”, she said, as dutiful as she ever was. It was one of the things I loved about her. “Oh, right” I scrambled to undress and kneel in front of her. The cold sensation of the cream caught me by surprise, but it was nothing like the feeling of her hands working their way around my back. I couldn’t fathom how good it would feel if what I had imagined just moments earlier was happening to me. “I’m sorry to have to ask but, would it be okay if you helped me, too?” she asked me, timidly. Nobody else we knew was near us, especially not Sasaki. “Of course” we stood up to change places, and she took off her shorts and t-shirt to reveal a sports swimsuit. It was nothing sexy and yet the idea I was about to touch her body drove me wild. She stole a glance at Instructor Shinonome, who was talking with Instructor Kaga and a group of young women wearing something straight out of a catalogue. The type of one-piece swimsuits that were somehow more alluring than bikinis.

They looked just like his type, after all he had teased his aide for not even wearing something as simple as a sundress on this day out. My heart ached at the idea she might be in love with him. Working so closely was bound to make something happen, had I been gay or a woman I would probably be in love with Instructor Soma myself. I wanted for her to be happy even at the cost of my own happiness, so I hoped he’d get to see her and value her the way I did.

I could feel my swim trunks getting tighter as her body settled in front of me, bending forward to pick up the bottle from where she had put it down. She passed it to me, extending her hand so I could squeeze some out. For a moment I forgot I was meant to cover her back, as my eyes followed her hands as she massaged her arms, toned abdomen and breasts. She wasn’t the most feminine of girls, but she was more than enough a woman for me. “Chiba, are you alright?” she asked, as she noticed my hesitation.

“Yes, sorry...” I rushed to slather the cream even though I didn’t want the moment to end, and ran to the public toilets before anyone saw just how excited I was. I don’t know how long I’ve been there for, trying in vain to bathe myself in cold water to stop showing what was going on in my mind, when she came looking for me. I tried refusing to see her, which only made her more determined.

Just as I opened the cubicle door to face her, we heard a familiar voice approaching, giggling with a girl in what sounded like English. She pushed me further into the cubicle, hiding from Instructor Shinonome and the girl. I don’t know if he knew we were there, the woman clearly didn’t notice the two set of feet in the cubicles next to the one they just entered, but he was a top detective. Even so, there was no way he could know for sure it was us...

I could picture the smirk on his face as he complained her choice of  swimsuit made things complicated. “Well, I am sorry I did not have the foresight to know my boyfriend would be at the same beach and horny” the woman didn’t sound sorry at all. I don’t know if I was more embarrassed, excited, or sad on behalf of the girl I loved, looking paler and paler ever since she heard the other woman call him boyfriend. I heard the sound of two hands against the cistern: it wasn’t hard to imagine the unknown woman bent over, the swimsuit moved to the side as he slid a finger inside of her: “You say I’m the horny one as if you’re not as wet as the ocean right now...”

“That’s just because of how much I love you” they kissed, and the noises coming from the cubicle made it unmistakable that he had now penetrated her with more than just the finger. I hated myself for how exciting I found it, especially knowing how much pain it was causing the girl I loved. It was over quickly, even though it felt like an eternity. She was barely holding her tears as we heard them bantering some more while making themselves presentable before going back to the beach. I reached out to hold her, forgetting the reason I was in the cubicle in the first place was so that nobody would see how hard I was. And it had only got worse since...
