Or could I tell by the colors? The costume was all red and white with the various accents and pom-poms also white. The belt might have been the only thing that was black.
Excessively cheery in her new costume, Nanami twirled around in front of the mirror, occasionally spreading her arms wide and examining her look from top to bottom.
Overall the outfit created a very cute silhouette. And everything about its design was adorable too. As a whole, the look was the perfect balance between sexy and charming.
It certainly was a sight for sore eyes, but...
“Y-You look great, but...you look super cold too,” I answered.
“Yeah, I’m actually kind of freezing. Can you warm me up?” Nanami requested, uncrossing her arms from around her middle. She then walked toward me, her arms open and her hands held out while she tilted her head in her usual adorable way. She moved as though sliding over to me and fell into my chest, everything about her movements appearing rather calculated. She probably knew it too.
Meanwhile, here I was, a part of me hoping that I would get to hug her—at least until I felt a chill against my skin.
Whoa, she is super cold! Wait, isn’t the heater on?!
I held Nanami, trying to warm her nearly frozen body. While I stood there thinking that this was less a hug and more me trying to protect her against the cold, I began to feel Nanami pushing me, until...
“How are you so strong?!” I exclaimed. “Wait, Nanami, the bed is right behind me—I’m gonna fall!”
“Hmmm...so warm... It’s so warm that I can’t hear anything,” Nanami murmured in response.
You so can hear me, I thought, though even then Nanami didn’t cease her attack. We went from embrace to cold protection to practically sumo wrestling.
I would never call her “Nanami the Sumo Wrestler” to her face because it would genuinely upset her, but I was impressed that she was able to force me to retreat. Even as I used all my strength to push back I still couldn’t stop her.
She forced me to the edge of the ring...I mean the bed, and although I tried to stand my ground, my awkward posture didn’t do me any favors. Had I been standing upright, I may have had a chance; I had already lost my balance by the time I realized it, though, so there was no chance I could keep my feet planted on the floor.
And just like that, my efforts went to nought; I fell backward onto the bed.
“I win!” Nanami shouted, giggling as she made a peace sign with her hand. I pulled my legs up on the bed to ease the strain on my body, and as I adjusted myself Nanami moved to straddle me.
Looking up at her like this really brought home the awe-inspiring nature of her outfit.
“How about you wear something else for the class party,” I suggested.
“What?” Nanami let out. “Is it too revealing?”
“That, and we have to shop that day too, so you should probably wear something a bit warmer.”
“Oh, yeah, that’s true. In that case, I’ll save this for when we’re alone on Christmas.”
While still on top, Nanami removed the cape from her shoulders. Wait, wait! Why are you undressing now?! I shouted in my head. Nanami was about to remove her top too...when she suddenly paused.
“Whoops, my bad. I shouldn’t do that, should I?” she said.
“Jeez, you seriously scared me,” I muttered.
“Sorry, I wasn’t even thinking. I was about to let the girls out,” Nanami said, scratching her head out of embarrassment. Still, given that she was only wearing a tube top, the outlines of her shoulders and the sides of her chest were completely visible. The lines of her side boobs really got me, and though I didn’t think I was into that, now I felt like a door had opened up that I never even knew was there before.
With both her hands braced on my stomach, Nanami mumbled on about which outfit she should wear instead.
Today, we hosted a two-person fashion show to decide what Nanami was gonna wear...as in, what Santa outfit to wear to the upcoming Christmas party.
The costumes were all supplied to us by Yu-senpai, who let us borrow multiple outfits when I came into work the other day and mentioned the party to her.
Yu-senpai seemed to be looking forward to Christmas as well; she was planning a party with her army of gyaru friends. I had no idea what an army of gyaru was like, but I decided not to ask.
As a sidenote, when I shared this with Hitoshi, he had said, “Dude, invite them! What could be better than Christmas with an army of gyaru girls?!”
I mean, is it even okay to invite university students to a high school get-together? I didn’t invite them because I didn’t even think of it, but maybe I’ll mention it to Yu-senpai the next time I see her at work.
Getting back to the original topic, the whole Santa outfit thing was something that the girls in the class were doing among themselves. They had told all the guys that they were going to wear cute outfits to show off and ordered us to do our very best in praising them.
The guys, though, were only going to wear Santa costumes if they felt like it. After all, there was really only one type of Santa outfit designed for guys. Guys didn’t have nearly as many options as girls did. The most we could hope for was a gag outfit of some sort.
“Which one do you like, Yoshin?” Nanami asked. “Must be the sexy one, right?”
“Well, if I had to be honest, my favorite one is the one you’re wearing now. It’s the sexiest and cutest of them all,” I confessed.
“I bet. The character you like from your game was wearing something like this too. Though she was wearing a thong and had her butt hanging out,” Nanami quipped.
Shoot, Nanami knows everything. I mean, it is true that I like that outfit, but still.
Nanami seemed to have chosen this particular outfit with that knowledge in mind. Yu-senpai had lent us three different Santa outfits, though, so we still had two more to go. The other two were more tame; overall they were less revealing, with Nanami’s midriff covered in both. Though the skirt on one of the outfits was still short.
“Man, I really should’ve borrowed the Santa bikini too,” Nanami murmured.
“Wait, what?”
“It’s a Santa-style bikini, and it’s really sexy. I didn’t bring it because I knew I couldn’t wear it this time, but—”
“No, that’s not what I was asking,” I said.
I definitely wanted to see it, but it was also most certainly not the kind of thing she could wear to a class Christmas party. It might be a bit much even with just us two, since what Nanami was wearing was already cutting it pretty close.
“Of the two left for me to try, one has pants and the other has a skirt. Maybe I should try the one with the skirt? It’s so cute. I might be colder in it than the one with the pants, but it should be warmer than what I have on now,” Nanami said, hopping off of me and picking up the two remaining outfits to compare them. I personally wanted her to choose the pants outfit, but if Nanami wanted the one with the skirt, then I should keep my mouth shut. The skirt one wasn’t as revealing as the one she had on now, though, so it should probably be okay.
