Sanctuary (Karma Akabane x OC)

Swimsuit Spectacle

"This white bikini is totally gorgeous; the frills are so alluring "

"No, no, this flower patterned one piece is so cute!"

"Are you kidding? That looks like something a 5-year-old would wear!"

"It's better than that trashy piece of cloth!"

"WHICH ONE DO YOU LIKE MOST?" the girls chorused aggressively, shoving their chosen swimsuits in Katsuna's sweating face.

She internally groaned, far from her comfort zone.

How did I end up here?

~~~~~

Earlier in the day...

"That's it for today class," Koro-sensei announced, settling down his desk chair, "And remember to bring your swimming costumes for tomorrow."

"Swimming costumes?" Katsuna exclaimed worriedly as the bell chimed for end of lesson.

"Of course, Koro-sensei said he'd take care of the pool side of things," Rio explained, making her way over to the raven-haired girl, "I'm actually quite excited."

"E class don't get school swimsuits as the principal likes to cut costs, plus the only pool Kunugigaoka has is located in the main campus which is obviously off limits to us."

"I bet Okajima's going to have a field day," Kaede sighed, side glancing over to the boy who seemed to staring into space, a line of dribble running down his chin.

"What a creep."

"Can I not just wear a t-shirt and some shorts into the pool?" Katsuna suggested desperately, confusing the surrounding girls.

"It'd be way too hot for that," Rio answered, scanning the look on the girl's face.

"Are you maybe.. not comfortable showing off your body?"

"I guess that's a part of it.." Katsuna replied timidly, adverting her eyes from embarrassment.

That and the fact that I can't afford one.

"But your body is stunning!!!" Kaede cried, slamming her hands on the desk, "Your slender figure is too die for, plus you've got a pair of perky boobs to back it up!"

Katsuna's cheek shot up red from the declaration, hiding her face in her hands.

"Wow, say it louder why don't you," Rio muttered, lightly slapping the back of Kaede's head.

Thank god Karma ditched today.. he'd never let me live it down.

Where is he anyway..?

"How about we go swimsuit shopping, I'd love to help you pick out something to boost your confidence?"

HUH?!

"T-thanks but it's okay," Katsuna shot, shaking her hands defensively, "Plus, I don't really have the funds to spend."

"Oh no problem!" Rio smiled, grabbing her arm to pull her up, "I'll treat you!"

"R-really, I'm fine.." Katsuna responded, attempting to release herself but the grip only tightened.

"Ha-ha, come on, we'll.. have.. loads.. of.. fun!" the blonde chirped, a menacing tone hinting her voice, "You too Kaede."

And with that, the trio exited the campus, making their way down to the town centre.

~~~~~

"E-erm..." Katsuna stammered, searching her surroundings desperately to ease the approaching girls, "H-how about this?"
