A few days had passed ever since we had that barbecue. I still had plans to go swimming with Yuki, but today we were just chilling.

After we had dinner and cleaned up, we both went into my room. While I played games on my TV, she lay on my bed while playing around with her phone.

“Hmm… Which one should I choose, I wonder~?”

She let out a small exhale with these words. Curious, I looked away from the TV to her lying figure on the bed.

“You were glued to the phone today. What you lookin’ at, Yuki?”

“I was just wondering what kind of swimsuit I should wear for our outing to the beach.”

“Gotcha, so you were looking for swimsuits all day.”

“Yeah, I was. Since this is the first time we’ll go to a beach together, I wanted to look my best. Oh yeah, that’s right! Would you like to choose one with me?”

“… If I do, it’ll be one totally my type, is that fine?”

“I’d prefer one you like, Haru-kun.”

She’s just too sweet. Honestly, I have no reason to pass up the chance to dress the ever-so-lovely Yuki in a swimsuit I like.

I dropped playing the game and approached my bed. She held out her phone and I picked it up, immediately looking at the swimsuits page of the website.

There was a lineup of this year’s trendy swimsuits with female models. I’ve never had a chance to see the cutting edge of fashion, so I was surprised to see so many different types.

To be honest, I was expecting to see only the usual bikinis with different patterns, but there were so many different shapes and sizes that it certainly made my eyes swim around.

“Eeh… Damn.”

It was hard to find something I liked, so I went to another website that features swimsuits… I don’t know if it’s because I’m a guy, but I ended up on a site stock full of sexy swimsuits.

They even had ones that showed side-bo*bs and underb*obs. Some were almost like strings, and others were just micro bikinis too thin for a person, only hiding the most important parts of the body. Just imagining her in such swimsuits made my heart a mess…

No, no, no! Calm down!

As much as I’d love to see her wear those, it’d be too dangerous for her to wear one in public. I need to chill out and choose a safe option for her.

“Haru-kun, do you want me to wear something like this?”

“Eh. N–No, um… I just skipped pages too quickly…”

I was about to go back to the original site when Yuki peered at the phone’s screen. As I stared at the image of a risque swimsuit, she whispered sweet words into my ear.

“You don’t have to trick me, Fufu~ I can totally see what you’re looking at… I can’t believe you want me to wear this! You’re such a perv, Haru~”

My heart couldn’t stop racing, and I hurriedly touched the back button of the browser. Scrolling through the pages of normal swimsuits, I quickly returned to choosing what she’d wear.

“Oh? Why didn’t you choose one of those?”

“… A–And I won’t.”

“Why~?”

“W–Well, it’s true I’m a guy and I’d love to see you wear one, but, umm… I don’t want other guys to see you wearing it…”

“So you don’t want other people to look at me?”

“T–That’s right. I know we’ve been looking forward to it ever since the start of summer vacation… And this will sound strange, but I don’t want you to wear those s*xy swimsuits in front of other guys… I wanna monopolize that, I mean, um…”

My face was so hot I felt like it’d turn into molten lava.

I’m aware of the strange things I’m saying. And me wanting Yuki all to myself, even though we’re living together, doesn’t feel right for my status. I was counting on her goodwill in the first place, so it wasn’t right of me to choose such a risque bathing suit.

That’s why I finally chose a regular swimsuit, and I was about to apologize for saying something so pretentious.

But she wrapped her arms around me in a tight hug, her warmth overwhelming me. I could feel her silvery-white hair draping over me, her sweet breaths, and soon her tender whispers.

“I can’t believe you want me all to yourself… I’m so glad you do.”

“Y–Yuki…”

“I’ll wear a normal swimsuit when we go to the beach, but I’ll choose one of those you were looking at earlier and wear it just for you… How about I wear it and we take a bath together?”

“A–Are you sure it’s a good idea? Those were very er*tic…”

“If you want to see me wearing it, I’ll be happy to do so~”

I felt my heart almost bursting out of my chest, and she could certainly feel it, too.

“Fufu~ Look forward to it, Haru-kun~”

She smiled bewitchingly, leaving only a lingering sweet whisper in my ear.
