Soft Feelings pt.1

"It is your turn to clean the classroom after school. While you're waiting for your partner, Chisato walks in, and begins cleaning. However, she wasn't supposed to be your partner for today. It seems your original partner got her to switch out with them."

"Chisato giggles, her cheeks turning bright pink. She looks down at her feet shyly, the telltale signs of her stutter returning." W-well, you see... Your partner switched with me today. They said they had something important to do after school and asked if I could cover for them. So here I am! Is there anything I can do to help make it easier for you?

"Nodding eagerly, Chisato moves over to the whiteboard with a sponge and a glass of water. She carefully wipes down each corner, her eyes fixed on the task at hand. The sponge squeaks softly against the board as she works, her movements slow but methodical. As she finishes up, she turns to you and smiles shyly." Alright, that's done! The whiteboard is all clean now! Is there anything else I can help clean up?

"Chisato beams at you, her eyes brightening. As she looks up at you, she bites her bottom lip nervously, unaware of how adorable she appears." You're welcome! I-I had fun helping. But it was nothing really, don't mention it...

"Her eyes grow wide in surprise at your request, her heart thudding in her chest. It's clear from the look on her face that she's never been asked anything like this before." Y-your house? W-well, I... sure? Why do you want me to come over, though?

"Chisato's shoulder's slump slightly, a wave of relief followed by worry washing over her expression. She understands why you asked but also knows that this could lead to something she isn't ready for." Oh... I-I see. That sounds important. Of course I'll come with you! We can watch some movies or something while you're there all alone.

"Chisato inhales deeply, her eyes wide with concern. While she wants to help you and make you happy, cooking together would inevitably mean being close to you for an extended period of time. However, she doesn't want to disappoint you." Yes... that sounds nice... If that's what you'd like to do, of course.

"Chisato nods, a flutter of excitement in her stomach. Being alone with you is making her feel both nervous and giddy." Of course! I-I mean, if that's alright with you... I don't want to intrude or anything...

"As Chisato steps into your home, she glances around curiously. While she's excited to have the opportunity to spend time with you, she's also nervous to be in such a private space with you." Thank... thank you for inviting me over... your home is lovely...

"Chisato nods, looking down at her feet shyly. The thought of being able to take a bath after a long day of cleaning is nice, but the idea of being naked in your home wracks her with anxiety." O-okay... that's... thank you... um... where can I...?

"Chisato nods quickly, averting her eyes. She's relieved to have clear instructions and a sense of direction, but she's still nervous about being here with you." T-thank you... um... I'll just... I'll see you soon... "She hesitantly enters the bathroom, closing the door behind her with a clicking sound."

"Chisato nods, her cheeks reddening in embarrassment. She hesitates at the door before turning back to you." T-thank you... I'll be quick... "She steps into the bathroom and closes the door behind her, hoping to have time to calm her nerves before continuing with the evening. In addition, she seems to be worrying about what you have done outside the bathroom."

"Chisato's eyes widen, surprised by your generosity. Part of her worries that taking your clothes could be interpreted as strange or rude, but she can't help being touched that you went out of your way to provide them for her." Thank you... that's very thoughtful of you... "She can't suppress the warmth that wells up in her chest at the gesture."

"Chisato nods, trying her best to suppress the warm feeling that blooms inside of her chest as she takes in the sight of you in the kitchen." Yes, I did... and... thank you... for the clothes... "She shifts in place, fiddling with the hem of the shirt slightly."

"Chisato's cheeks flush a bright red at your words, embarrassed at the thought of having worn a bra that belonged to you, although in reality it is not yours. She shifts in place, feeling flustered." O-oh... I... I'm sorry... I didn't think to ask... I hope it isn't... too much trouble...

"Chisato lets out a small sigh of relief, grateful that she hasn't offended you. A small smile tugs at the corner of her lips as she realizes that your teasing was just in good fun." Oh... okay... um... whose is it then?

"Chisato lets out a small, surprised gasp at the revelation, her eyes widening slightly a she processes what you said." Oh... really?... I'm... s-sorry... I didn't realize... um... do you want me to... um... return them to your cousin when I'm done wearing them?

"Chisato nods with a gentle smile, grateful for the change in topic. She moves over to the counter and takes up a knife, beginning to help chop the vegetables as you have asked." Of course... I'd be happy to help... "She focuses her attention on the vegetables in front of her, carefully slicing them into neat, uniform pieces." And... um... if you don't mind me asking... what do you mean by taking a bath?

Oh... I see... "Chisato nods, a small smile tugging at the edges of her lips as she continues to chop the vegetables." Okay... well, let me know if you need help with anything else... I'm happy to help...

"Chisato turns around as she hears your voice, smiling at you with a warm expression." Yes, I finished cutting the vegetables just now... are... is everything okay? "She pauses, her gaze dropping momentarily to your chest before rapidly darting back up to meet your eyes once more. She keeps the blush that rises in her cheeks at bay as she continues to look at you."

"Chisato jolts in your sudden movement towards her, startled as she wasn't expecting you to be so close. She tries to cover up her blush, but it's already creeping up on her cheeks. You can see the hint of a pink flush in her neck, begging for some embarrassment for the cause." U-um... I'm fine... I just like... "she presses her lips together tightly before taking a deep breath". No, nothing is wrong...

"Chisato takes a seat across from you at the table, her eyes brightening as you begin to eat. She moves her utensils carefully over her plate, smiling faintly as she does so." This is delicious... thank you for cooking for us... "She pauses for a moment before continuing, her voice just above a whisper." And... um... thank you for letting me wear your cousin's clothes... it really means a lot to me...

"Chisato's face lights up with delight at your compliment, and she ducks her head slightly." Th-thank you... I'm glad you like it... "She looks up at you again, the hint of a smile playing around her lips." I... I don't often get to cook for other people, but it makes me happy when other people enjoy my cooking...

"Chisato beams at your words, a sense of contentment spreading through her." Thank you for the compliment... I had fun cooking with you... "She pauses for a moment before speaking again." And... it was nice spending time with you...

"Chisato nods, her eyes lighting up with excitement at the prospect." That sounds like fun... what kind of movies do you like?

"Chisato nods, her eyes sparkling with interest." Oh... I like romance movies too... I think it's nice to see people in love... even if it's just in a movie...

"Chisato snuggles up to you, her body pressing against yours as she takes in the movie. She watches with rapt attention, occasionally giggling or making small comments about the characters on the screen." This is really nice... I feel so comfortable...

"Chisato's eyes light up at your response, and she snuggles in even closer to you." S-sorry... am I too close? "She looks up at you with her big brown eyes, a hint of concern in them."

"Chisato smiles brightly, her face flushing slightly as she leans into you once more." Okay... me too... "She falls silent once more, content to just enjoy the movie and your company."

"Chisato nods, a warm smile on her face as she leans back slightly from your embrace." Yes... it was really nice... thank you for watching it with me... "She pauses for a moment before continuing, her voice lowering slightly." Um... and... thank you for letting me get so close to you...

"Chisato seems taken aback by your sudden change in mood, her eyes widening slightly." Um... c-can I really stay here? "She bites her lip nervously as she watches you, unsure about what to do or say." I don't want to be a burden...

"Chisato seems to relax slightly at your touch, nodding quickly. Although deep inside, she hold some worries as this may lead to an unwanted consequences. But despite her worries, she feels id she is alright for whatever you might do to her." Okay... thank you... I'll... try to make myself comfortable... "She pauses for a moment before continuing, her voice becoming even softer." I'm really... grateful... for everything you've done for me... And I'm sorry... for causing so much trouble...
