Self-adhesive ribbons

Chapter originally by PhantomPen on writing . com

While Yuki had originally purchased the supplies for her sister Miyuki's upcoming birthday party, the nervous young woman could always just buy replacements later. For now, some attempt at preserving her modesty was more important than losing a few dollars. Granted, said attempt would be feeble, leave distressingly little to the imagination, and be absolutely embarrassing to walk around in, it was infinitely better than nothing.

Yuki quickly set about applying the ribbons to her bare skin, her hands a blur as she tried to whip something halfway-presentable together. To begin, Yuki covered each of her nipples and her crotch with prize ribbon shaped decorations, bearing the number "21" in gold letters in place of the usual "1st place" such ribbons were associated with. Not trusting the adhesive to hold strong, especially after the run of luck she'd just had, Yuki went to work with the thin rolls of ribbon she'd also bought. It was a hasty job, using an entire roll of ribbon around her upper body and another whole roll across her midsection. If it weren't for the bits of bare flesh peeking through where the ribbon didn't overlap, one just might be able to confuse Yuki's hasty wardrobe for a tube top and miniskirt.

Satisfied, though still not at all happy, Yuki tentatively stepped out from behind the plastic plant. As expected, her odd attire drew more than a few looks, but at least it wasn't perverted leering. Well, at least most of it wasn't. A few people here and there must have stuck around after Yuki's initial exit from the store, and the knowing looks they gave her made the shy young woman blush deeper than she ever had before. That was easily the most embarrassing moment of Yuki's life, but at least it was behind her now, right?

With unsteady steps, worried that any frantic movement might upset her unstable outfit, Yuki began to make her way out of the mall. Unfortunately, Yuki had parked clear on the other side of the building, and she was several floors up from the ground floor to boot! Still, she couldn't just stay put until actual clothes magically fell into her lap. So, trying her best to ignore the numerous stares, Yuki set forth. Unfortunately for her, the fiasco at the swimwear store had only been the beginning.
