Hotaru!
Chibi Usa squealed as she ran to her best friend in the world and hugged her
tightly.
Hotaru put her arms around Chibi Usa and tenderly hugged her back,
accompanying her
hug with a soft kiss on the cheek.
Hotaru had been visiting Haruka and Michiru for two weeks. She felt it
right to visit
them every so often since she considered them her surrogate parents. But
from now on,
Crystal Tokyo was her home. It had been her home for many years.
The greatest joy of her life was watching her best friend, Chibi Usa grow
up. The last
years were a giddy thrill to Hotaru, bearing witness to the blossoming
womanhood of
someone who had been her best friend for centuries. Someone she had grown
to love
more deeply than even Chibi Usa really knew. Hotaru loved Chibi Usa more
than life
itself.
After over 900 years, Chibi Usas body had finally grown into a healthy,
attractive girl of
17. Her pink hair was still in the cone-shaped pom-pom style shed always
worn,
although it was much longer, reaching down just below her knees. Her body
was soft and
slender, with curved, shapely legs and her breasts were almost as large as
her mothers.
But they still werent fully developed yet, so her breasts would eventually
grow larger.
To see that beautiful girl bounce down the Palace steps to greet her just
made Hotaru
smile. To feel Chibi Usas arms around her brought on such a feeling of
indescribable
joy, Hotaru felt like she was going to cry. Chibi Usa had been her first
friend. A friend
through thick and thin, at a time when friends were all too few for Hotaru.
Over the
years, theyve laughed and cried together. But through it all, their
friendship never
wavered and Chibi Usa never once judged her. Hotaru loved Chibi Usa for
that. And
over the years that love continued to grow until it had grown beyond love
for a friend,
even beyond love for a lover.
Welcome home, said Chibi Usa, I missed you. Im really glad youre
back.
Im so glad to be back, Hotaru replied, I missed you so much.
Chibi Usa leaned over and whispered in Hotarus ear.
I hope you dont want to repeat what happened two weeks ago. You didnt
miss me that
much did you?
Both their minds darted back to two weeks ago, before Hotaru left.
They were both sitting on Chibi Usas bed in her room. They were both just
wearing
panties and cotton button-up shirts. They were talking about something,
neither one of
them could quite remember what, because what happened after made the whole
conversation seem pointless.
Chibi Usa was talking and Hotaru was looking at her. Suddenly, Chibi Usa
looked up
and saw that Hotaru had looked away, her creamy white cheeks blushing a
bright pink.
Although, Hotaru felt that her whole body was blushing.
Hotaru, is something wrong? Chibi Usa asked immediately.
Iuh, well uh.I, was Hotarus only response.
Chibi Usa took her hand.
Come on, she said softly, What is it?
I uhI wanttobewell, I dont know how to say this.
What? Chibi Usa was beginning to look concerned.
touched, Hotaru said softly, almost under her breath, Iwantto
betouched.
What do you mean? Im touching you right now. Chibi Usa said, still
holding her
hand.
No, no. Not thatkind of touching.
Chibi Usas thought for a moment. Then her eyes widened.
What? You meanthat kind of touching?
Hotaru didnt reply, she just lightly nodded.
WellI guess, if you wanted to. I mean, Ive seen you touch yourself
before. Its no
big deal. Just let me make sure the doors locked first before you start.
No, no. I dont want to masturbate. Iwantanother person to touch me.
What other person? What are you talking about? You want someone to touch
you?
Again Hotaru just lightly nodded.
Who?
Wellbefore I answer that, I just want you to know that Ive thought long
and hard
about this, for a long time. I wanted the person to touch me to be someone
I loved,
someone I really cared about. I know who I want to do it, but Im afraid to
ask.
Why? Chibi Usa was still holding her hand, Who is it?
Hotaru was still looking away.
Hotaru, Come on. You can tell me. Who is it?
Hotaru turned and looked at Chibi Usa, her violet eyes filled with longing,
but at the
same time, they had a hint of guilt. Chibi Usas eyes nearly popped out of
her sockets
and she fell off the bed.
Me?!?!?! she sputtered as she picked herself up, You want me to touch
you?!
I was afraid youd feel that way, Hotaru said, with obvious
disappointment in her
voice.
Hotaru, now just wait a minute. Wait just a second. Now lets back up and
slow down.
I meanwhy me? Why do you want me to touch you?
Hotaru put her hands over Chibi Usas.
Because, its like I said before. I want it to be someone I love. Youve
been my best
friend for years. Youve always stood by me. I love you Chibi Usa. I love
you with all
my heart and soul.
Well, I love you too Hotaru, but I dont know how I feel about this. I
mean, something
just doesnt sound right.
Chibi Usa, I know you dont have the same love for me as I do for you. I
understand
that. But Im not asking to touch you and Im not asking us to make love.
Hotaru held Chibi Usas hands tighter.
I just want to feel you touching me, just once. I love you so much. Just
for one time, I
want to give myself to you, completely.
I dont know. I just dont know how I feel about this. Ive got to think
about this for a
while.
II understand. This is a big deal. IdId better go now, before I make
things
worse.
Hotaru got up from the bed and walked out of the bedroom. Although it was
pretty
obvious to Chibi Usa what she was thinking. She already suspected that
Chibi Usa
would say no and if that happened, what would that bode for their
friendship? Chibi Usa
knew they would still love each other. Love is stronger than that. But
what would they
do with this specter floating over them now?
Chibi Usa was lucky to get any sleep that night. But she was wide awake
early the next
morning. Part of her wanted to talk to Hotaru about the night before, but
she couldnt
find her and she could tell right away that Hotaru was avoiding her. Chibi
Usa really
couldnt blame her. If she were in the same position, shed want to lay low
for a little
while too.
She spent the better part of the morning walking around the Crystal Palace,
wondering
what to do. Her and Hotaru had masturbated together before, the first time
when she was
16. But touching Chibi Usa touching Hotaru? Finally deciding that this was
over her
head, she went off in search of advice.
I have to say, Im curious. Why all these questions about love all of a
sudden? Ami
asked.
Well, I just have a friend whos having a bit of a personal problem, Chibi
Usa said, as
she helped Ami enter new data into the Palace computer, She has a friend
she really
loves and she wants to go a bit further than friendship. Im just not sure
how her friend
feels.
How much farther does she want to go? Ami asked.
Thatspersonal.
OhI see.
Ami thought for a moment.
Well, has she made her feelings known to this person?
Vividly. Chibi Usa rolled her eyes slightly.
Well, Im afraid theres nothing to do but wait and see what her friend
does.
Well, thanks for nothing, Chibi Usa thought to herself. Talking to her just
left me right
where I started.
I can tell you this, Ami said, From what youve told me, this doesnt
sound like a
frivolous request. She must love this person very much. There was one time
when I
asked a personal favor. I wont go into detail, but it was from someone I
love very
much.
What did he do.
She actually.
Really?
Dont you get any ecchi thoughts, young lady.
Never. My lips are sealed too. So what happened.
Well, she helped me. Im not saying our friendship was affected, although
we did
become a little closer, but I was afraid of what would happen. I wasnt
sure until after
that Id made the right decision, but afterwards, it felt right. Id like
to think Im better
off now for having that experience then. Thats about all the advice I can
give you on the
subject.
Well, maybeThanks Ami.
Chibi Usa walked off. Ami made a good case, but Chibi Usa still wasnt sure
what to do
at that point. What happens afterward and touching Hotaru didnt feel like
the right
decision to make? So she went to talk to someone with a little more
experience with her
problem.
Yuki? What do you want to know about her? Makoto asked.
I just have a friend who has a personal problem and I thought you might be
able to give
me some advice that would help her. I mean, you and Yuki are friends, but
Yuki wanted
more than friendship, right? Chibi Usa said. She was helping Makoto bake
chocolate
chip cookies
Well, yes, but that didnt last. I told her that I wasnt interested in
that kind of a
relationship. Uh, you might want to put more sugar in that batter. You
know your
mother likes them sweet.
Oh, right. So she stopped flirting with you?
Are you kidding? She was constantly flirting with me. She sometimes does
it even
now. I admit, there were times it got a little annoying. But she never got
anywhere.
So how have you two stayed friends for so long with all that pressure?
Well, I just accepted her actions towards me as part of our friendship.
She isnt a bad
person and she isnt ecchi either. She just has her own way of acting
around me. Her
actions havent changed who we are. I dont know if that helps your friend
or not, but it
couldnt hurt.
Thanks Makoto.
Chibi Usa was still unsure. Touching Hotaru in such private places, it was
an enormous
step. This could change the face of their entire friendship, in spite of
what Makoto said.
Well, I dont know what I could tell you, Rei said, I mean, this is a
really private
situation.
I know Rei, but my friend really doesnt know what to do.
Well, if were going to talk, you can help me clean these floors.
Oh sure, Chibi Usa picked up a brush to help Rei scrub the temple floor,
but Im in a
bit of a hurry.
Well, any help you can give me is appreciated. Its less work for me to
do. As for your
problem, I think I had a situation that can relate to this problem.
Really?
I actually cant believe Im telling this story again. It was so long ago.
There was a
time I thought I wanted to be more than friends with someone. I actually
had a dream
about it. It wasanothergirlactually. Rei couldnt help but blush, even
after all
these years, it was still a strange feeling for her to talk about it.
Really? Who?
Thats not important, Rei went back to scrubbing, I dont mind telling
you though, I
was scared to death. I literally didnt sleep for a week. It wasnt
pleasant.
So what did you do?
I eventually talked to her about it. Its not like I had much choice under
the
circumstances, but somehow it made us both feel a lot better. And after a
while, I
realized that I didnt have the feelings I thought I had.
That might be an idea. Thanks Rei.
Well, I guess it helped, but I dont see how. Now lets finish this floor
and you can be
on your way.
Rei might be right Chibi Usa thought. Maybe Hotaru doesnt really want
this. She only
thinks she does. Then again, maybe Im just rationalizing.
What do you think of this one? Minako asked, holding the dress in front of
her.
If you were Ami, Id say go for it, Chibi Usa said, But blue isnt really
your color.
Minako let out a groan of frustration and threw the dress onto the bed next
to where
Chibi Usa was sitting.
Well, Ive got to wear something. I mean, I cant show up on a date in
just my bra and
panties, can I?
Not unless you want to send a pretty strong signal to your date. Anyway,
about my
friends problem.
Minako let her problem go for the moment and sat next to Chibi Usa.
Okay, okay. Hmmm. Well, I remember one time not too long ago I had this
friend. He
was handsome and pretty smart. We thought we could have a relationship. So
we went
out once, to give it a try.
What happened? The date didnt work out?
No, the date was perfect. The dinner, the dancing. We even kissed at the
end of the
night.
So what happened?
I dont know. Something just didnt click, you know. Something just
didnt feel right.
Dont get me wrong, were still friends. But we just didnt know how to be
more than
that. I dont know, I hope that helps.
Well, thanks Minako. That helps a little. Chibi Usa ran out of the room,
but peeked
her head back in quickly.
By the way, I like the red one in the corner.
Minako looked and then squealed in delight.
Perfect!
Well, Ive talked to the others and Im still no closer to finding the
answers to my
questions than when I started, Chibi Usa thought. From what I got from Ami
and
Makoto, it could be a good thing, but what if its not? From Rei and
Minako, Hotaru
deep down might not even want this. What do I do?
So after all that you finally decide to come to your parents, Usagi
giggled.
Chibi Usa flashed a tiny glare.
Look, Im sorry. I just think its funny, thats all.
Look, can you help me please? I still dont know what to do.
Your awfully concerned about this, Mamoru said, Is there something your
not telling
us?
Look, I just want to help, okay. Can you give me some kind of advice?
Well, to be honest, I dont know what we can tell you, Usagi said, We
dont have all
the answers. We cant say what decision is the right one to make, because
its not our
decision. Im afraid youre just going to have to wait and see what your
friends decide to
do.
Thats not as comforting as Id like to think, Chibi Usa said as she
walked off.
Chibi Usa, Mamoru called. Chibi Usa turned.
We can tell you this. The only way your friends are going to be truly
happy is if they
both do what they feel they should do, not what they think they should do.
Chibi Usa stood and thought for a moment. Then she smiled, ran up and
hugged Usagi
and Mamoru.
Thanks, she said, Believe it or not, that was a big help.
She darted off down the hall as Usagi and Mamoru looked at each other.
Usagi had a
confused look on her face.
Dont look at me, Mamoru said, shrugging his shoulders, Shes your
daughter.
Oh thanks a lot, Usagi punched him in the arm.
I was just kidding.
Yeah, sure you were.
It was night. Hotaru was walking down the hallway to her bedroom. She was
wishing
she didnt have to walk past Chibi Usas room to get there. She had spent
the entire day
racked with guilt. She wanted to be touched by Chibi Usa, she couldnt deny
that. But
what kind of person was she to just come out and hand it to her as if it
were an
ultimatum. Chibi Usa was her best friend, someone she loved more than
anything. How
could she put someone she loved so much through that kind of pressure? More
importantly, what would Chibi Usa think of her now?
Suddenly, Hotaru felt someone grab her arm and pull her into a room. As
soon as she got
her bearings, she realized she was in Chibi Usas room. Chibi Usa was
holding her
shoulders and had her pinned to the wall.
Owww! Hotaru cried out on instinct.
Now listen, Chibi Usa said, Youve been avoiding me all day. Now Ive
done a lot of
thinking too, and as far as last night goes, I have just one thing to say to
you
Oh no, Hotaru thought. As if out of nowhere, tears started streaming down
her pale
cheeks.
Please, Chibi Usa. she said, Im sorry. Its my fault. You dont have
to do anything.
I want us to stay friends. You mean everything to me. I j-just want-ted
Hotarus words were cut off as she started sobbing uncontrollably. Chibi
Usa was
stunned and did the only thing she could do. She threw he arms around
Hotaru and held
her tight. She led Hotaru over to her bed and never stopped hugging her.
Its okay. Just calm down. Calm down. Im not mad at you.
Youyoure not?
You just surprised me last night, thats all. It confused me. Come on,
you know I could
never be mad at you. Youll always be my friend.
Chibi Usa lifted Hotarus chin so she could see her face.
And Ill always love you.
Hotaru hugged Chibi Usa as her final sobs faded away.
Are you okay? Chibi Usa asked.
Im feeling better now.
Good, because I wanted you to know Ive made a decision. But first I want
to know one
thing.
What is it? Hotarus feeling of dread returned.
Chibi Usa looked her square in the eyes. Her eyes had a deadly seriousness.
I want you to tell me, are you absolutely certain that this is what you
want? You want
me to touch you?
Hotaru smiled as another tear managed to trickle down her cheek.
With all my heart. she sighed.
Chibi Usa smiled back.
Well then theres only one thing to do.
Chibi Usa started unbuttoning Hotarus shirt. At first, Hotaru was
overjoyed at the
concept of finally being touched by someone shed loved so much for so long.
But then
she suddenly grabbed Chibi Usas hands and held them.
Are you sure you really want to do this. The last thing I wanted was to
pressure you.
Hotaru, I have to be honest. Right now, I dont know if I want to do this.
But I wont
know that answer until its done. Well worry about my feelings when the
time is right.
Chibi Usa freed her hands from Hotaru and continued unbuttoning her shirt.
Right now, this is your time.
Hotaru closed her eyes and she could feel her shirt sliding off her chest
and her
shoulders. Then there was a pause.
Hotaru? Chibi Usa said. Hotaru opened her eyes.
Do you want me to take off my clothes too?
Hotaru looked at her for a moment.
Could you let me do it? Please?
Okay.
Chibi Usa lifted her arms and Hotaru pulled her shirt over her head. Then
Hotaru began
to unfasten Chibi Usas pants as Chibi Usa unfastened Hotarus skirt. Chibi
Usa stepped
out of her pants and then helped slide Hotarus skirt down her legs. Chibi
Usa sat back
down on the bed and both girls reached around to unfasten each others bras.
After
removing their bras, Chibi Usa stood up again and took off her panties.
Hotaru laid back
and let Chibi Usa slide her panties off. As Chibi Usa removed Hotarus
panties, Hotaru
spread her legs slightly to give Chibi Usa a momentary glimpse of her smooth
sex. Chibi
Usa looked and was amazed by it, since shed never really looked at it
before, even after
all the times theyd masturbated.
I cant believe it. Its so pink. She said.
So is yours. Yours is really pink too, Hotaru replied.
Chibi Usa sat back down. There they were, both naked, sitting on the bed,
but there was
still that air of uncertainty.
Sowhere do we go from here? Chibi Usa asked nervously. Hotaru however,
was
surprisingly calm.
Well, how about you start like this?
Hotaru took Chibi Usas hand and placed them on her breasts. She placed her
hands
over Chibi Usas hands and motioned Chibi Usas fingers to squeeze. As
Chibi Usa
began to squeeze her breasts, Hotaru let her head back and sighed softly.
MmmmmThat feels so good, she said.
Chibi Usa took her word for it. She still couldnt believe that she was
doing this, but for
some reason she couldnt explain, she had the strong urge to continue. She
felt some
kind of odd satisfaction at being able to make her best friend so happy.
Could you pinch my nipples now, please? Id really love it if you did
that, Hotaru said.
Chibi Usa took Hotaru nipples between her thumbs and forefingers and began
lightly
pinching them, while her other fingers continued to squeeze Hotarus breasts
as best they
could. Hotarus breasts werent very big, but her nipples got hard and they
stood straight
out like two fleshy bullets. Then her breasts became firm and stuck out
like her nipples.
Hotaru began to whimper tiny moans of pleasure. This was her moment. She
was being
touched and pleasured by her best friend, something shed desired, hoped for
and prayed
for, for so long. Now it was happening and it all felt so right.
She began to maneuver herself to sit in front of Chibi Usa, with her back to
her, taking
care that Chibi Usa kept pleasuring her breasts. Then she took Chibi Usas
left hand and
placed it over her sex, motioning for her to rub. Chibi Usa felt Hotarus
wet sex and was
surprised.
Wow, she thought, Hotaru must really have wanted this. Shes so hot and wet
already.
Chibi Usa started rubbing and Hotarus moans became louder and louder She
pressed
her back against Chibi Usas breasts and draped her head back over Chibi
Usas
shoulder. Chibi Usa was squeezing her breasts and rubbing her sex, just
like Hotaru had
always wanted. She didnt want it to stop. She wanted more pleasure and
she knew
would get it soon. She could feel her orgasm building.
Dont stop Chibi Usa. Please dont stop, Hotaru begged, This feels so
wonderful, and
Im so close. Im going to come.
Chibi Usa kept rubbing. Then she felt a large bump on Hotarus sex. She
left her finger
there for a moment and she could feel the throbbing. Then she heard Hotaru
let out a
huge gasp and she was sure. Shed found Hotarus clit, and it was so
swollen. Smiling
inwardly at her triumph, Chibi Usa lightly stroked Hotarus clit with her
forefinger. She
could tell by Hotarus increasing moans that she liked that, so she started
poking at her
clit with her finger. Hotaru liked that even more, so Chibi Usa did one
last thing, taking
the swollen organ between her thumb and forefinger and giving it light,
rapid pinches.
That was all Hotaru could stand.
Oh Chibi Usa! she cried, Chibi Usa, I have to lay down! Im coming! Im
coming!
Chibi Usa slid off the bed as Hotaru crashed on the pillows and came.
Moaning loudly
and squirming around on the bed, Hotaru rubbed her sex feverishly,
desperately trying to
soothe it. Eventually, her shuddering subsided.
So how was it? Chibi Usa asked.
Thatthat was so incredible, I cant even describe it, Hotaru gasped,
still breathless
from her orgasm.
Chibi Usa got up from the floor and then shuddered at the sensation. She
stopped for a
moment. She was so busy pleasuring Hotaru, she hadnt noticed her own sex
becoming
hot and dripping wet.
Oh man, she whimpered.
What? Hotaru had managed to catch her breath.
Why did you have to enjoy yourself so much, Chibi Usa scolded her, Now
Im all hot
and wet too.
Sorry. Hotaru giggled.
Its not funny, Chibi Usa whined, Now I want to touch myself.
I thought you liked touching yourself.
I do. But only when I want to do it. I didnt want to do it before. Now
its like I have
no choice.
Well you might as well get it over with. Theres no point in complaining
about it now.
Chibi Usa slumped down on the floor beside her bed and spread her legs.
Ooooohhh, I cant stand it anymore.
Wait! Wait! Wait! Hotaru grabbed a pillow and lay on her front in front
of Chibi Usa.
What are you doing? Chibi Usa asked.
I want to watch. I want to see your hands give you the same pleasure you
just gave me.
And its not like Ive never watched you before.
Oh all right.
Chibi Usas fingers headed straight for her clit. This was an unplanned
masturbation and
she wanted to get it over with as soon as possible. She could feel the heat
from her clit
even before she touched it.
As soon as she touched her clit, she felt like she was going to burst, but
she didnt. She
began rubbing immediately, desperately trying to make herself come. She
started
moaning and squirming on the floor as she rubbed faster and harder. Finally
realizing
rubbing wasnt enough, she started slapping her clit almost viciously,
harder and harder.
Come on, she moaned to herself, Come on!
Hotaru just lay there, fascinated by Chibi Usas rather unique display.
After about two
minutes, Chibi Usa threw her head back and came, shuddering for a few
seconds, then
calming down.
Are you okay? Hotaru asked, concerned.
Ill be fine, Chibi Usa replied, Im sorry, but I just didnt feel like
masturbating and I
wanted to get it over with quick.
Dont worry about me, Im worried about you. Youre going to be really
sensitive and
sore tomorrow.
Hotaru slowly inched up to Chibi Usa and two sat side by side, naked.
Hotaru knew what
came next, but she was almost afraid to ask.
Sowhat about us? We cant just forget what just happened.
Youre right. Theres only one thing to do.
Whats that? Hotaru wasnt sure she wanted to hear the answer.
Chibi Usa opened her arms to Hotaru and smiled.
Come here.
Both girls hugged each other tenderly.
Did you enjoy tonight? Chibi Usa asked, Was it everything you wanted?
Yes. It was everything I wanted. Someone I love more than anything gave
me the
greatest pleasure I could imagine.
Then Chibi Usa surprised Hotaru again, inching forward and gently kissing
her on the
lips.
Then dont forget. I dont want you to ever forget. I dont know about
me, but you
keep tonight in your heart, for me. Otherwise, tonight was all for
nothing.
I promise you, no matter what, even if I find true love, Ill always
treasure this moment
for as long as I live.
The two girls just sat beside Chibi Usas bed, holding each other.
Chibi Usa?
Yes?
Can we stay like this for a while? It feels warm and safe.
Sure.
Both girls fell asleep in each others arms.
Well? Chibi Usas voice snapped Hotaru back to reality.
Chibi Usa, nothing we ever did again could repeat that night, Hotaru
whispered to her,
That night was too special to ever replace.
Chibi Usa hugged Hotaru again and sighed.
Great, now lets go. Mom and Dad wanted to see you as soon as you got
back.
Chibi Usa took Hotarus hand and Hotaru savored the warm feeling.
So how was it with Haruka and Michiru?
It was great. Haruka-poppa and Michiru-momma are always good to me. Its
nice to
know I have two places I can call home.
Chibi Usa giggled.
What is it?
Nothing. I just like how you still call them Haruka-poppa and
Michiru-momma.
Really? You dont think its silly now to keep calling them that?
Of course not. I think its really cute when you do that. Its one of the
things I love
about you.
Hotarus pale cheeks blushed bright pink, much as she had done two weeks ago
and she
smiled as Chibi Usa walked with her up the Palace steps. And she kept on
smiling for
the rest of the day.
