The next day when I made it to the beach drama did happen, as despite reassurances my fall out did with Haruto did come with certain problems.
"What's she doing here?" Haruto pouted as soon as he saw me.
"Akane is our friend," Keiko grabbed me and held me protectively, and while I did appreciate it, it was perhaps a bit much. Chizuru and Yui also made their feelings quite clear, making me feel all warm and fuzzy inside, so I was fine with being manhandled a little.
"Not mine. I don't want to see that bitch anymore," he crossed his arms.
Kenji stayed at the sidelines, clearly a bit uncomfortable, but Minato got between us.
"Woah, dude, not cool," he scolded Haruto, then turned to his girlfriend, "let's just calm down, I'm sure we can work something out."
His interference was probably needed, as she looked anything but happy about his words.
"I don't mind being around him," I chimed in as Keiko let me go, trying to find some peaceful compromise.
"I do mind being around you," Haruto refuted harshly.
I wasn't really sure where to go from there? I'm pretty sure I'm the wronged party.
"I'd rather be around her than you," Keiko joined in.
"Says a lot about you that you'd rather spend time with a slut like her," he glared at me.
First of all: Rude. Second of all, wasn't the problem that I didn't want to put out?
"Dude, what?" Minato turned his full focus on Haruto, and based on his tone I don't think he was looking upon him kindly.
"Cheap bitch strings a guy along then throws a tantrum. She did feel very loose," he sounds quite proud, as if he proved a great point.
"Well, you are the smallest of every guy I've been with."
Petty, childish, and entirely unnecessary? Yes. However, he insulted my pussy first; it's tight and wonderful, thank you very much, and undoubtedly scores five stars out of five. Okay, there has only been one visitor, but he seemed very pleased.
There was a few moments of silence which was interrupted by Chizuru's cackling. Somehow Haruto managed to get even ruder after that, and Minato got even more upset with him. Even Kenji wasn't too fond of him, which was very fair as I wasn't too fond of Haruto at this moment either.
"Everyone, quiet please," I raised my voice, finally tired of all the arguing that wasn't going anywhere. Surprisingly it worked. Haruto still stared angrily at me, but I didn't care.
"How about me, Keiko, Chizuru, and Yui go do our own thing for the rest of the day?" I suggested, then continued with a half shrug, "it's my final day here tomorrow anyway."
Minato wasn't entirely happy with it, and I did feel bad for him. The situation really did suck for him, and I really hope I haven't screwed things up for his relationship. In the end my compromise was agreed upon, so me and the girls set off to spend the rest of the day in a hot spring, hoping things would cool off tomorrow. Based on Haruto, I had my doubts, but I was wishing for the best for the sake of Minato and Keiko.
I had to quickly pop back to my hotel to drop off my beach gear and get some clothes, but they had to do the same so it wasn't a big deal. I even managed to get ready in a short period of time since I wasn't too picky with my appearance.
We met up again and set off for the hot spring. This early in the day it was completely empty except for us, so we had it entirely to ourselves.
The moment I made it into the water I could feel the stress just melt away, and I let out a happy sigh. I allowed myself a five minutes of total bliss before I turned to look at Keiko.
"I'm sorry if I screwed things up with you and Minato."
"Don't worry. Tomorrow things will be fine," she reassured me.
"Really?" I turned to look at the two others to see if they had as much faith as Keiko did. Surprisingly it seemed the answer was yes.
"Minato is really good with words. Trust me, tomorrow he'll have Haruto straightened out," she nodded.
"If you're sure," I suppose there wasn't anything I could do but assume she was right.
"This is my fault a little. I'm sorry, I should have talked with Minato last night."
"I think this is my fault," I corrected her.
"She didn't talk with Minato because she got distracted," Chizuru teasingly cut in, and Keiko blushed.
"Oh? Do tell us more about how Keiko got distracted," I joined in, seeing where this was going.
Chizuru really needed very little encouragement to happily rip into Keiko, and I was quite amazed at just how realistic her fake moans were. Yui had almost dipped entirely below the water at this point, completely red in the face.
"Can I ask you a weird question?" I turned to Yui and moved closer to her.
Chizuru and Keiko had started wrestling at this point, making a terrible ruckus and being wholly in their own world.
"A weird question?" she blinked, but finally her head was properly above water, "that's okay."
"Aren't they you know," I gestured vaguely towards her chest area, "painful? Or uncomfortable?"
Yui stood up a bit further exposing herself as she looked down at her breasts as if she was considering it for the first time.
"No?" she answered, a little confused, "why would they be?"
"I mean," I took a few seconds to consider how you politely inform a woman she has the fattest tits you've ever seen, "I just figured they would be heavy and make your shoulders or back hurt?"
She rolled her shoulders a few times, stretched her back, and even cupped her own breasts.
"I've never felt something like that," she finally says.
Huh, so apparently that was a thing. Good for her. I looked down at my own chest in consideration. I don't think I would want them any bigger, even if it wouldn't be uncomfortable and I could choose. My own were borderline big maybe? Larger size of medium? It's difficult to tell. I'm rather happy with how I look over all though, even if my thighs are a little big.
I turn my attention back to Yui who is still cupping herself, seemingly still trying to figure out if she can find a difference. Or maybe she is just a pervert?
"Can I try?" I close in on her.
"Huh? Yes?" she said, obviously a little confused.
Eagerly I reached out with my hands and put them on her chest. In an entirely platonic manner of course; they were just so big and enticing. For some reason I just had some fascination when it came to them. They were exactly as squish-able as I had imagined.
"Wait, are we fondling Yui?" Keiko suddenly said with great excitement in her voice.
Before Yui had time to protest there were another pair of hands on her, and shortly after Chizuru joined in on the fun. I made a bit of distance as I laughed loudly. Though perhaps I should feel a little bad? Karma did end up quickly biting me in the ass.
"I want to touch Akane's muscles!" Keiko suddenly shouted and turned towards me with an unholy gleam in her eyes. Yui gleefully followed her, eager for revenge and then it was my turn. This story is hosted at g.com.
I concluded that it was my just punishment for my transgressions and let them have their fun.
"Who put their hand on my ass?" Chizuru exclaimed. Okay, maybe I got a little revenge.
Keiko, as expected, quickly picked up on it, and of course Chizuru shouldn't feel excluded.
Over all, it was definitely a learning experience for me. I learned that I am undeniably completely straight. If I can stand there, naked as the day I was born, with three naked women crowding me and feeling me up, and I don't find it sexually stimulating in the slightest, then clearly you can't achieve gayness by hard work. It wasn't particularly soul crushing, as I had already given up on that dream.
After spending hours in the hot spring we finally got out and had a late lunch, then idled a few hours away in clothing stores before we split up and I returned to my hotel.
I felt some anxiety the following day, but it went surprisingly well. It turned out that Keiko was right and that Minato really was a wizard with words. Even though Haruto was being grumpy he didn't complain openly, and just went along with things obediently.
It was nice to get in a final round of volley. Our side had to swap members every now and then since there were four of us. The other girls were tactful enough to not viciously mock Haruto as much as they otherwise might have before, so the game managed to stay harmonious enough.
I ended up having to text my parents to eat dinner without me, as we agreed to have dinner together as well, which was quite nice. Me and Haruto were of course seated far apart, so there weren't any problems.
It was a little difficult to say farewell afterwards, but we exchanged addresses so we could keep in touch. Haruto refused to say goodbye at all, which was just fine with me.
The next day I got up early to start packing, and in good time we managed to stuff everything into the car. My parents were practically glowing, and I did not want to know why. I chose to just be happy that they had been having a great time.
It was with some reluctance I got in the car to say goodbye to this town. Perhaps more so the friends I had made. I hoped it wouldn't be too long before I would see those three again.
Thankfully the return trip was much shorter this time with fewer stops, as we had been driving in the right direction for our vacation spot. The only major one being an hour lunch break, and we made it home a few hours before dinner. I was beat, but I still started unpacking and sorting laundry.
We ended up ordering food, something we were all thankful for, and after dinner they asked me to stay. I looked at them curiously, as they seemed almost excited.
"You know how we owe you a birthday gift, right?"
I had actually forgotten that. Mom giggled at seeing my confused look, dad just sighed and put a box on the table.
"We had discussed giving you this for your birthday, but it seemed a little much. So we agreed it could also serve as a gift for competing in the tournament," he explained.
Curiously I tore off the wrapper and opened the box.
It was a laptop.
A motherfucking laptop.
I wasn't interested in playing games much, even if I was it would be difficult because of how little free time I had. I don't think it could handle much either, as the specs were rather low. Not that I minded.
It could be useful for storing my notes, and since second year had just started I wouldn't have to play catch up too much. I also hadn't touched my summer homework either.
No, there was only one real reason to be excited: Unrestricted, private access to the internet. There was a shared computer in our home, but this was just mine, and I could use it however I wanted.
I may have gotten a little loud in my excitement, but I remembered to thoroughly hug both of my parents, before I raced upstairs with my precious to get started.
