The girls ask her to share what she’s wearing

(Chapter originally by MidnightWisher at writing.com)

“But I don’t have anything to give either of you to wear,” Makoto said, confusion evident on her features. Her two friends shared a look before staring at her with hungry eyes, and Makoto had a bad feeling rise up in the pit of her stomach about what would happen next.

“You’re fully dressed right now,” Ann said, a tone to her voice Makoto couldn’t quite place. “You could give both of us a little bit to wear, and we’d all be decent.”

A red tint accented Makoto’s features. “Uh, what do you mean?” She asked, seeing an exasperated look on Ann’s face.

“You know what I mean,” Ann said. “You could give Haru your vest and skirt, and I could wear your pantyhose, and we’d all have everything important covered. We’d look a bit strange, but that’s besides the point.”

Makoto’s red tint deepened at the suggestion. “But – but then I’d be going around half-naked, showing off my panties…”

“So? That’s still a lot more than we’ve got on now! And you could just find yourself some pants to wear, like at your gym locker or the lost and found or something.” Ann said. When Makoto didn’t immediately agree, Ann sighed. “Well, if you’re that worried about people seeing you in your underwear, I guess you could keep your skirt and give Haru your panties instead.”

Haru blushed red but readily agreed, “Yeah, I wouldn’t mind that… But… could I also have your bra, too? Wearing that vest alone would be a little showy…”

Both girls looked to Makoto expectantly, and she felt like their stares may bore holes in her if they continued. She didn’t know what to do… She couldn’t just leave her friends like this, but what about herself? If she went with the first option, she’d be stuck half-naked until she got something to cover up with. It would be embarrassing and risky. Someone could see her if she wasn’t careful, though she supposed her friends had already been dealing with that problem themselves, seeing as they had one article of clothing between the two of them. If she went with the second option, she would be completely covered still, but she’d have to go through the rest of the day without her underwear, and she didn’t know if she could handle that… She would have to be extra-vigilant all day long, and if someone found out… She shook the thought out of her head, it was best not to think about it. Alternatively, she could tell them she didn’t want to give up her clothes and insist they let her find something for them to wear instead. It didn’t seem unreasonable to her, despite how unwilling Ann was to consider it. Maybe Ann would be more accepting of the idea if Makoto put her foot down and told them it was either that or nothing? She didn’t know if she could do that to her friends…

“Well, Makoto,” Ann said, impatiently. “Have you decided yet?” Makoto bit lightly on her lip. What am I going to do? She wondered.
