Niko gets much more embarrassed

Niko went for a hug when she saw Mel again. She wasn’t sure what the accepted greeting was for ‘witch that let you live out public nudity fantasies without fear of consequences,’ but a hug felt close enough.

“Hey,” Mel said. Was it her imagination, or did Mel seem more self-conscious?

“Doing good?” Niko said. “Magic stuff still crazy?”

“It’s calmer now,” Mel said. “Did get bad for a bit there. Still chaotic, but nothing too dangerous so far.”

“That’s good,” Niko said. “So, um…”

“Want to talk about why you invited me here?” Mel said.

Niko’s cheeks darkened. They were still stood fairly out in the open; the Haunt wasn’t exactly packed, but there were still a few people hanging around.

Mel was off-the-clock, but she still sat beside the bar. A private table wouldn’t get nearly as fun a reaction.

“In a sec,” Mel said. “Can I check out your ring first? I want to be sure it’s still doing well, after everything.”

Niko nodded, and extended her hand.

“Sure,” she said, “Any-”

Mel gently pulled on the ring, and then frozen time. Niko stopped moving without the ring’s protection, mouth stuck mid-word, as silent as everyone around them.

The only person, beyond Mel, that was moving was Jada from the corner of the bar. She walked out, quickly reaching Mel’s side, eyeing the frozen Niko contemplatively.

Silently, Mel gave the ring to Jada.

“I feel a bit weird about this,” Mel said.

“She’s the one that wanted to get naked,” Jada said. “Besides, you can’t tell me her reaction wouldn’t be a whole lot better when she suddenly finds herself without her clothes. Don’t you think?”

“I…” Mel’s voice trailed off.

She turned back to Niko and bit her lip.

“You promise you’re going to erase everyone’s memories after?” Mel said.

“It’s what I do,” Jada said. She lifted a hand; as a whitelighter-witch, she could ensure people forgot certain events. Normal whitelighters were meant to use it to stop the existence of magic getting out. This… technically counted Niko supposed. “No different to running around with everyone frozen, no one will remember seeing anything, it’s just way more fun to watch. Just don’t tell her until after.”

“R-right,” Mel said.

She turned her attention back to Niko.

Then, slowly, got to work undoing her frozen ex-girlfriend’s top. Her hands shook slightly as Niko became more exposed, button by button.

Once it was all the way undone, it had still barely moved. It took a conscious effort to tug the frozen garment down her arms, but it was an effort that was so very worth it with the view they were rewarded with.

Niko’s bra was next. Jada helped slip each cup off, baring Niko’s tits to the room while Niko stayed obliviously frozen in time.

“Ok, so how are we meant to do her pants?” Mel said.

“Tell you what,” Jada said.

She leaned in, grasping the topless, seated Niko and focusing. She orbed a metre away, and left Niko in midair, stuck in place thanks to time being frozen.

Now no longer with the chair in the way, it was easy to brute-**** the rest of her clothes off. First her shoes and socks, then her pants and her panties, leaving her completely naked.

“Huh. I see why you liked her,” Jada said, looking up at the frozen woman’s ass.

It was a second before the both remembered what they were doing. Jada quickly orbed Niko back to her seat, and took hold of all the various clothes.

“I’ll watch from a distance,” Jada said. “You unfreeze whenever you feel like it, though looks like you like her like this.”

“That- that was one time!” Mel said, indignant. Jada’s eyebrows rose; Mel stumbled over her words to continue. “And- and- I mean, anyway, I’m doing your plan, that means you do mine the next time-stop naked breakfast we have.”

“By which you mean, you want me to get naked too,” Jada said.

Mel winked. Jada chuckled.

“Just so long as you actually keep time stopped,” Jada said. “No pranks like we’re pulling on her.”

“No promises,” Mel said.

Jada rolled her eyes, and vanished suddenly by orbing. Mel was left sat on the bar stool, facing the nude Niko.

Deep breath. Her eyes went up and down her ex’s exposed body. It was hard not to feel a little something at the sight, though the sight she was about to be greeted with was definitely a fun one too.

Focus, and… unpause.

“-time,” Niko began.

And then she screamed, instantly drawing all eyes in the Haunt to her. She slapped one arm over her tits, eyes going wide, and held the other over her lap. A second later and she swiftly readjusted, crossing her legs and crossing her arms tightly over her chest, looking around the bar.

“Mel!” she yelped. “Pause! Pause it!”

Mel bit her lip. She’d almost forgotten how fun it was. Niko flushed, squirming on the spot as she waited.

“Mel!” she yelped again.

When Mel did nothing but stare, she yelped again and stumbled to her feet, struggling to hide behind her hands. She faltered, halfway to finding cover, before turning around and choosing the bar.

She vaulted over it, cheeks flushing all the more at baring her ass, before diving down on the far side and trying to be out of sight.

“Mel!” Niko whispered loudly. “What the hell?!”

“I thought you wanted this,” Mel said innocently.

“Not when people can see!” Niko said.

She yelped again as a bartender approached her, relaxing only when she realised the bartender was holding a spare apron. It might not be much, but it was definitely better than the nothing she currently wore.

The bartender offered it-

Mel froze time again. She reached over the bar, grabbing the apron and taking it away, pausing only to look down.

The sight of Niko, flushed and hunched over and embarrassed brought back so, so many fun memories.

She’d tell Niko no one would remember this, that it was all just a bit of fun. Just in a little, for now…

Jada materialised beside her, taking the apron. She joined Mel in looking down at Niko, frozen in her humiliation.

“Want to pose her?” Jada said.

“Jada!” Mel said.

“What?” Jada said. “Have her out in the open again. Can’t tell me she wouldn’t be cute.”

“I know, but…” Mel said. she bit her lip, and glanced down. “Later? When she knows, I mean.”

“Gotcha,” Jada said.

She nodded, and vanished in an instant. Mel returned to her seat, pressing her legs together and taking a moment to steady her breathing.

She was never going to get over seeing Niko naked. Naked in public was just a bonus.

She gestured, unpausing. Niko squealed again; the bartender looked, bewildered, at her hand.

That was the advantage of erasing memories. No need to be so subtle when it comes to magic.

“Mel! This isn’t funny!” Niko said. She whimpered. “Let me put something on, please! Everyone can see.”
