A history of Chloe's exhibitionism

"Don't you want to get dressed?" Max said.

She prodded Chloe's discarded clothes with a foot; Chloe shrugged, lounging back on her bed.

"In a bit," she said. "Don't feel like heading out for a bit. God, that was a rush."

She lay back; Max flushed slightly. From her position at the foot of the bed, she had a very clear view of all of her friend and, ok, she didn't exactly mind looking at Chloe, but it was still jarring.

Chloe laughed again, apparently still reeling from the close call.

"You... really like it?" Max said.

"Fuck yeah I do," Chloe said. "Not just about being seen, the reacting to it... not even just for me. I am so going to talk you into joining me one of these times."

"I- I think I'll pass," Max said, flushing.

"All the fun, with none of the drawbacks," Chloe said. "Always loved imagining those kinds of situations, being naked god-knows-where and trying to get out of it."

"Being caught?" Max said.

"Well, no," Chloe said. "And yes. It's... like, I love the idea, but wouldn't want it to happen for real, but the fact it could, and kind of did, but I don't have to worry about dealing with it... I'm not making any sense am I? Hey, it's hot, I like it, why overthink it?"

Max had noticed that Chloe seemed to enjoy a few risks, but even so...

"Where'd you think we should try next?" Chloe said. "I'm thinking Blackwell. I figure, they expelled me, I should get the privilege of doing something fun to earn it. Or go relax up by the lighthouse, managed it a couple of times there, though not as long as we could with your superpower."

"You've... thought about this a lot," Max said.

Chloe shuffled, sitting up and making her chest rather easier to see. She grinned over to Max.

"Blame Rachel," she said. "Or thank her, either's good. When I find her, we're going to have a lot of fun with you. Subtext intended. Advance warning Little Miss Time Warrior."

"What do you mean?" Max said. She flushed as Chloe grinned at her; "Not about that, about her..."

"Oh, yeah," Chloe said. She lounged, looking as wistful as her punk rock aesthetic would allow. "Like, I always liked this stuff, I just liked to imagine it happening to other people. Rachel caught on, then made me share anything I'd imagined with her. Just fun stuff. Her in a play, the run home after skinny dipping...

"She liked it, and then she started teasing me," Chloe's cheeks flushed slightly as she glanced down at Max, realising what she was talking about, but she quickly shrugged it off. "Saying she might go through with it, but only if I did too. Just games, she was probably kidding about a lot of it, but doesn't mean it wasn't fun. Made me undress whenever I visited her place and her parents were home, sometimes had to hide in the closet but it was hella fun.

"Now I get to do the same, and I've got my lucky early warning system," she grinned back to Max. "Win-win, in my book."

Max couldn't help but chuckle. It was somehow the most Chloe thing she could imagine; Max ended up with time-manipulating powers, and Chloe used it to get kicks.

She moved closer after a moment, sitting on the side of Chloe's bed. Chloe still lounged naked beside her.

"It is fun to watch," Max said.

"That's the spirit," Chloe said. "I must get hella **** before you rewind."

"Do you..."

"Nah, it's not me-me," Chloe said. She grinned. "Just close enough that I know it's what would happen. Makes it more real. Speaking of, I'm about ready to go again. You up for it?"

Chloe sat up, reaching for her clothes and gesturing to her open window; apparently she didn't feel like going downstairs and past her parents.

"You're insane," Max said, still chuckling.

"Only in the best ways," Chloe said. She winked, pulling her top over her heard. "Where do you feel like going?"
