The Crimson Commander

Chapter 1.5 - How To Capture A Commander's Heart (Atago Edition)

Atago reminisced on the moment that she had briefly referenced in her conversation with Akashi.  While she didn't disclose the moment to her fellow shipgirl it was a moment that she could remember with clarity.

The girl in love mentioned, "That time.."

It was a rainy day when Atago had been running back to base.  She knew that she would be late, but the reason for which was something completely out of her control!  If not for her passionate nature.  One of the smaller Destroyers, a little girl by the name of Kisaragi, had been walking around in circles as if she was looking for something.  Appearing like she was about to cry Atago chose to be the 'dependable big sister' she became synonymous with when she approached the girl and asked what the problem was.  Kisaragi had dropped a teddy bear that she liked while she was playing in the park, and in the moment she lost her toy.

It wasn't something that Atago could ignore, even if she was going to be a little bit late to meet up with her Commander.  Therefore, Atago went with the girl as she retraced her steps and helped to retrieve the teddy bear.  The effort didn't take too long to accomplish, and at the end of it all Atago was rewarded with the smile of the little girl.

Plop. Plop.  The sounds of her feet smacking the puddles of water resounded in her head as she desperately made her way to what the Commander called 'Central'.  'Central', in reality, was the name that the Commander chose to name their room.. probably something that they could change at a later date.  Despite the Heavy Cruiser not being particularly known for speed she did the best she could, barging into the proper building and eventually opening the door to see the interior of this room.

Atago mentioned through gasps of air, "Commander..did I..make it?.."

The personal room itself was pretty much as it typically was, fitted with most of the things that they would need.  In the far left corner there was a mini-bar that had drinks which were appropriately chosen by the Commander.  In the closer left corner was a door leading to some shower stalls and bathroom facilities, built with the expectation that visitors could use them if needed.  In the far right corner, there was a couch to lounge on with a view of a larger TV.  In the closer right corner was a dinner table, along with the chairs that accompanied it.. and a Commander who was nervously tapping their finger against the wood of the table's surface.

Hearing Atago's voice, their head turned to the source of the voice where a smile decorated their face.. only for that smile to turn into a steamy red blush!  The Commander voiced their concern, "A-Atago, your clothes.."

It was then that Atago looked down at the clothing she was wearing, while it wasn't see through due to the thick material it was quite fitting to form.. ara ara.~ Was this what the commander is so flustered about? How cute.~

Atago brushed her hands over the sides of her uniform while she approached the commander, disregarding how flustered they seemed to be getting.  She then remarked, "They'll dry in time.  Don't we have more important.. things to do?~"

The commander who at this point was moments away from fainting blurted out, "A-Atago at least change!  I don't mind waiting, ok?"

The girl who was enjoying the moment answered, "Ok, Commander.  Your Secretary's going to take a couple of minutes to get ready."

When she came out she was somewhat dressed, well.. as dressed as she could be.  While she left her clothes in the bathroom she peeked out of that room wearing a towel that she kept around her body, supported by an arm that was propped just underneath her breasts.  She said, "Commander no peeking.~  I have to go get a new change of clothes."

In respect of Atago's wishes the Commander turned their gaze away from the bathroom entrance and towards the bar that was currently empty.  Admittedly, part of the Commander wouldn't have minded taking a peek at the girl in a towel.  But they resisted, and by the time that the door was shut again the Commander let out a small sigh.  Of relief?  Of nervousness?  That's up to your discretion, fellow reader.

Once Atago had changed into her proper outfit she returned to the scene, to find the Commander more then happy to await her arrival.  Well, the Commander wasn't sure what Atago had in mind.  They knew that she wanted to speak to them, and took time out of their schedule to be together.. but what was she planning?  They said, "About our plans.."

Atago smiled as she said, "You won't have to do a thing.  I made sure to plan everything out beforehand, Commander.  I hope you don't mind surrendering yourself to me for the afternoon.~"

What followed was something that captured the feel of a 'date' while perhaps not exactly being one.  The series of events were something that could only be left to the imagination, really.  But along the way the two of them were able to deepen their bond.  They weren't strangers like when they first met, were they friends?  Perhaps more?

Finally returning home, the Commander had a blush on their face while Atago held their hand and guided them back to the Commander back to the room that they had started in.  As a part of the evening's arrangement the Commander had made sure that nobody else would come in, something which Atago insisted to them.  Tired from all the fun they had out and about the Commander sat down on their bed, all while Atago slowly inched closer to the bed in question.  

The bed itself was decorated with white cover sheets, something that the Commander personally preferred.

It was a nice silence, but the Commander felt the need to break it.  They started to speak, "I-.."

Atago got close enough by this point that she was right in front of them, closing the distance and allowing her a moment to strike.  Atago raised a finger to the Commander's lips, letting the finger keep them hushed for a moment that felt like it had gone on for hours.  She spoke in a soft tone, "Don't say a word.  Close your eyes Commander, or you'll embarrass me.."

The girl hovered closer and closer to her seeming prey, but she found no resistance in the one that she intended to express her love to.  She put on a small smirk while her hands reached onto the Commander's shoulders, running down their arms as she teased the moment until finally.. it happened.

What followed that moment was a passionate kiss.  The Commander fell back on the bed with Atago leaning over them, her body nestling close to theirs as she confessed her love in the physical sense.  Her legs straddled the legs of her beloved while she dominated the moment, there was no doubt that by this point her Commander was steaming red while they shared in the moment.

Perhaps it was this nervousness that caused the Commander's arms to go so.. limp.  Were they unable to move?  Atago mentioned, "Commander, it isn't fair for you to make me do all the work.."

Then Atago grabbed onto the Commander's hand and brought it up to her voluptuous breasts, allowing the hand to sink into the soft surface.  Atago closed her eyes as she enjoyed the sensation, a gasp escaping her lips while she guided the Commander's touch.  The white cover sheets would only get wrinkled from the movements that the two made as they adjusted to a better position on the bed.

As for the specific details that followed, that is up to your imagination.  The two would not go any farther then their warm embrace and share of kisses.  But this was a precious moment that Atago could never forget.
