The Burden of Keeping Secrets

Summary:

Milly Ashford invites Nina Einstein to the bath for some one-on-one time after the hostage crisis at the Lake Kawaguchi resort. Can Nina keep her biggest secret under wraps, or will the student council president tease it out of her?

Work Text:

August 29th, 2017 a.t.b.

Nina Einstein never thought of herself as anything special. She believed herself to be average looking at best, she never spoke to very many people outside the Ashford Academy student council, and even when she was with them she always stayed mostly quiet. So it came as somewhat of a shock to Nina that two days ago on her eighteenth birthday, Milly Ashford, the student council’s president, invited her to the school’s bath house for some one-on-one time.

Of course, it wasn’t too surprising. Milly had always cared for Nina, always protecting her and taking her under her own wing. But to ask her to bathe together, just the two of them? Milly might as well have asked her a question in a complete foreign language. Nina didn’t know what to make of it. She hesitantly accepted the proposal, but as she headed down the vast halls towards the girls’ bathroom, her heart beat several paces faster.

What she never told Milly, or anyone else for that matter, was that she was gay. The student council all knew of her admiration for Princess Euphemia, but to them it never went beyond celebrity worship. No one knew of her true romantic, even sexual feelings toward the Britannian royal. And, even though she’d bathed with Milly, Kallen, and Shirley before, she could at least, to her knowledge, manage to hide her enjoyment of seeing their well-built bodies, bodies that she often compared her own to out of wistful jealousy. With just her and Milly, there would be no way to avoid the president’s scrutiny and teasing.

Speaking of the president, she was waiting outside the bathhouse. Her blonde hair fell just past her shoulders, still well-groomed from the morning. She had just been hanging out in the student council room with Shirley, trying to nudge her into going on a date with Lelouch. When Nina approached the girls’ bathroom, Milly smiled and waved to the shy Britannian girl, “Heya! What took you so long, Nina?”

Nina smiled back, speaking softly “I just lost track of time. I’m here now, though.”

“Great, why don’t we get started?” Milly grabbed a hold of Nina’s hand and led her inside. The bathroom was massive, it had enough space for the entire student body of Ashford. There were showers, each with dividers to maintain some semblance of privacy while still being communal. Nearby were lockers for storing clothes and other items. Nina’s heart skipped a few beats, she had bathed with the other girls many times before, but for some reason this felt different.

Of course, the terrorist attack by the Japanese Liberation Front earlier this week at the Lake Kawaguchi Hotel had made her more anxious and clingy, and brought her closer with Milly in particular. She was terrified of the Elevens who had kept her hostage and threatened to kill everyone in the hotel. In that moment, alongside Euphemia, Milly was a rock for Nina, a shoulder to lean on. The class president let Nina cling to her arms without a second thought, and Nina found her touch oddly comforting. Could this be… no, she tried to tamp those feelings down. Milly can never know.

As the two of them got undressed, Nina tried her best to avert her gaze, but her impulses brought her to sneak a few glimpses at Milly’s gorgeous body. Her ample breasts, her nicely shaped butt, her cleanly shaved pussy. How Nina wished to be her, even more how she wanted to–

‘Damn it, Nina, stop creeping on Milly,’ Nina thought to herself. She needed to get a grip. If she didn’t get herself under control, Milly would find out for sure, and the outcome of that would be catastrophic. Best to keep that secret as close as possible.

Nina nervously took her own clothes off. She sighed as she looked down at her own chest, which was as flat as a board in comparison to Milly’s. Her own dark green bush was not trimmed in the slightest, which made her self-conscious. It’s why she would always try and cross her legs together whenever the other girls bathed with her and Milly. Next, her glasses were off. Milly would always say how beautiful she looked without them, and would suggest she switch to contacts. Nina thought she was just being nice, as always.

“You coming in?” Milly’s voice echoed from the bath. “Yes, ah– coming.” Nina replied. She awkwardly walked over to the bath, covering herself with her hands. Part of her realized this was stupid, Milly’s seen her naked many times. But her self-loathing took over.

Milly noticed how bashful Nina was acting and decided to talk some sense into her. “Come on, Nina, you don’t have to be so modest. We’re both girls, it’s nothing I haven’t already seen.”

Nina stuttered, “I just– I’m not shaved…”

Milly chuckled, then shook her head. “For the millionth time, Nina, I only shave mine as a personal preference. If you don’t for whatever reason, it’s fine. It doesn’t make you any less cute.”

Milly was telling the truth, she knew how much Nina hated herself but never understood why. Sure, she wasn’t as curvy as herself, or Kallen, or Shirley, but she had a certain adorable charm to her. She was so delicate, it made Milly want to dote on her and comfort her.

Nina hesitated, then moved her hands away from her crotch. She climbed down into the bath and slinked into the water.

Milly soaked her blonde hair with water. “The reason I wanted to do this with you today is because I wanted to make sure you were okay after what happened at Lake Kawaguchi. I was scared for my life, and you know how I am. I can’t imagine how terrified you were.”

Nina looked downwards, she had tried to push the awful memories of that day out of her mind so she could enjoy this moment, but her thoughts kept wandering back. Milly noticed her sullen expression and swam closer to Nina. “I want you to know that I’ll never let anything happen to you. If they wanna get to you, they’ll have to go through me. And if you ever want to talk about anything, I’m here for you.”

“Oh, thank you, Milly, but I would rather talk about something else right now, if that’s okay.” Nina muttered. She really wanted to take her mind off of Lake Kawaguchi for now. She sighed as she splashed her own dark green hair with water. She had been having recurring nightmares about the hotel, many of them involving that Eleven terrorist grabbing her and throwing her off the edge of the hotel. And those were the more pleasant ones. The worst ones involved those animal Elevens forcing her to watch as they threw others off, even Euphemia, Shirley, Milly… The nightmares of them defenestrating Milly hurt the most.

Milly smiled, and obliged Nina’s request. “Alright. We can talk about something more cheerful. Oh, did you know Shirley has a date planned with Lelouch later tonight? She’s taking him to the opera.” She wrung her hair out as she giggled, “I may have had a hand in convincing Shirley to ask him out. It’ll be a good distraction from her worrying about the chaos going on in Narita. She’s been all bent out of shape over Kallen and Lelouch being gone all day yesterday.”

“Oh, that’s good!” Nina perked up, “I guess she took your advice.”

Milly stood up, exposing her front to Nina once again, and said to Nina “Yep. Your class prez is a genius, I know.”

Nina quickly looked away, not wanting to give Milly the impression that she was ogling. This was going to be way harder than she thought. Kallen and Shirley never picked up on her strange behavior, but Milly will for sure.

“Is something the matter?” Milly asked, shooting her a puzzled look as she sat back down.

Nina looked back at Milly, trying to focus on her face instead. “No, nothing at all. You just have nice breasts.” She quickly realized what she had just said and tried to change course. Unconvincingly, she tripped over her words, “I- I mean, I’m so jealous of you and all the other girls. I’m as flat as the day I was born.”

Milly, unfortunately, didn’t really buy it. “Right… are you sure nothing else is wrong? You know you can tell me anything, don’t you?”

Nina nodded, just trying to cut this awkward conversation short. “I’m sure, Milly, it’s nothing.”

Milly frowned. She knew something was bothering Nina, something unrelated to Lake Kawaguchi. Or perhaps it had something to do with it in its own way. Nina has been more clingy to her since that day. And even before that, she always noticed how she’d secretly stare at her and the other girls’ bodies. Milly was far too emotionally intelligent to not pick up on things like that. She’d notice how anxious Shirley got whenever Lelouch came up in conversations, or Rivalz stressing over his assignments, and Nina…

The seconds ticked by as if they were minutes. Each minute felt like an hour. Neither girl said anything. Nina dared not to speak. Milly didn’t want to stress Nina out any more than she already was, but she just had to know what was bothering her.

After an indeterminate period of silence, she finally asked bluntly, “Nina, do you… like girls?”

This startled Nina out of her silence. “W-What?!”

Milly asked again, “Are you a lesbian? Is that what this sudden shyness is all about? You were afraid of me finding out, weren’t you?”

Nina stammered, “Wh– But how– I never told anyone, who could have–”

“I’ve noticed you checking us out when the four of us bathed together in the past. You really get a kick out of seeing these, don’t you?” Milly gave Nina a teasing look as she took her hands and bounced her own breasts up and down.

Shit. Milly knew all along. But… no, she couldn’t. Nina had never told a single soul about who she’s attracted to. Perhaps Milly was just reading into things too deep. Defensively, Nina stuttered “I- that- I’m just jealous of you guys, that’s all! You’re all so much prettier than me, it’s unfair… It’s not like I want to– I just wish I was like you! Honest!”

Milly would have taken that as an explanation if not for what happened last night. She continued, “That’s not the only thing I’ve noticed. Poor innocent Nunnally, she heard you last night in the student council room. She told me you were unwell. I saw the edge of the table, and knew better. I know how much you admire Princess Euphemia, it’s not too far-fetched to believe you’d touch yourself to a picture of her.”

Nina froze. How stupid was she? She was so obvious, and she had forgotten to clean up when she was done masturbating. And of course, Nunnally, so naive and pure, just had to go and tell Milly, of all people! This was so humiliating.

Milly’s mischievous expression softened into one of concern. “Why didn’t you tell us you were gay, Nina?”

Tears began to fall from Nina’s eyes. “I-I’m sorry, I… I didn’t want you and the other girls to think I was some kind of… pervert. That I was…” she paused as she remembered the bullying she had undergone before arriving at Ashford, “…a faggot…”

Milly came up close to Nina and held her shoulders. “Hey, no, don’t you dare say that. You’re not any of those horrible things people say about you. You’re not perverted for liking girls.”

Nina blinked away a few tears. “Really?”

Milly’s smile shone through once more as she reassured Nina, “It’s fine, really. Ashford Academy is more welcoming than you’d expect. Even if the rest of Britannia hates homosexuals, my grandfather has always been forward-thinking. I just wish you told me yourself. We’ve been friends for a long time, I would have never judged you. And I’m sure that Kallen and Shirley wouldn’t either.”

Nina willed herself to look into Milly’s eyes, she nodded and quietly thanked her, “Milly… Thank you, I’m glad you are okay with this.”

Milly spoke, “Of course. Your secret is safe with me. I won’t tell anyone just yet, that’s your choice. But I really do think the student council will love and support you all the same.” She paused, and had a thought. Since Nina had told Milly her biggest secret, now would be as good a time as any to tell her own truth. “Hey, speaking of secrets, can you keep one of mine?”

Nina nodded.

Milly confided her own personal thoughts to Nina, as if it were another one of her crazy plans. “It’s not much of a secret that I have had feelings for Lelouch in the past. But I also have a crush on Shirley. You’ve seen how handsy I get with her. The others think me groping her is just ‘playful female bonding’ and ‘just Milly being Milly,’ but I do fantasize about her a lot. Kallen is quite the looker too.”

“Oh wow, I never knew that. I guess in hindsight it was pretty obvious. You did make an awful lot of comments about Shirley ‘filling up in all the right places,” Nina said, her voice as quiet as ever.

Milly continued boasting, “Yep. And you know what else? I’ve masturbated to all three of you after our baths, I can’t help but get hot and bothered when I think about the four of us being naked together.”

Nina couldn’t believe Milly came out and said that! Well, okay, she COULD, it was Milly after all, saying such uncouth things was common for her. But to just tell her like that?? And why HER? Nina wasn’t anything special, at least she thought so. “Y-You mean Kallen and Shirley, right?”

Milly corrected Nina almost instantly, “And you. Come on, a cute little thing like you? Why wouldn’t I?”

Nina stuttered, “But- I’m not as… well…”

Milly shook her head, “You really don’t get it, do you, Nina? You’re gorgeous in your own way. And besides, I’m not some shallow ditz who only goes after good looks. Yes, all three of you are stunning, but I like you all because you’re my friends. The same goes for Lelouch. We’ve been inseparable since the day he and Nunnally first arrived.”

Nina’s eyes widened, Milly wasn’t just being nice. She had meant every word of what she said. Her smile grew.

Milly paused for a moment, and then asked Nina, “…Hey, since we’re alone, and we both know each other’s secret… Do you think, maybe… you would want to experiment a little?”

Nina’s face flushed as she heard Milly’s request. “You… You mean you want to have sex?!”

Milly laughed, “Yeah, why not? You’re pretty cute. I’ve always wanted to pamper you and treat you right while you just melt in my arms.”

Nina burned even redder at the thought. Pampering? Melting? Being completely at the mercy of the Student Council President, the thought should have scared her but it just made her want it even more. How desperately she wanted to be coddled and pleased by Milly, hearing her voice whisper praises while she gave her soft, tender kisses, and sensual rubs all over her body.

Nina pressed her fingers together. “I- I- Well… Um… I suppose that would feel… But… I’m a virgin…”

Milly took Nina’s hand into her own. “If you’re not ready, that’s okay. We can just keep bathing as we have been.”

“N-No, I… I want this. Milly, I want you.” Nina surprised herself with her words. Her heart was pounding, she didn’t know if she was truly ready, but some part of her wanted to push through the fear and uncertainty.

Milly got up close to Nina, shifting her legs so that she was straddling her. “Remember, you don’t have to do anything you don’t want to. If you say you want to stop, then we stop.”

Nina gave Milly a silent nod, confirming to her that she understood.

“Why don’t we start with a kiss?” Milly asked, “Baby steps, right?” She leaned in closer and pressed her lips against Nina’s. Nina did not stop her, she let Milly kiss her. Milly’s lips were so soft and inviting.

Nina closed her eyes and wrapped her arms around Milly, giving in to her passion. Without thinking, her hand trailed down to Milly’s ass. She rubbed a circle around her smooth cheek, causing Milly to pull away from the kiss.

“Well, aren’t you a naughty girl?” Milly smirked, running a hand along Nina’s cheek. Nina said nothing, only blushing. Milly reassured her “That’s all right, you can keep going. I don’t mind at all.”

Nina kept going, and kissed Milly again. Her small chest was pressed up against Milly’s more robust one. Suddenly, Milly’s tongue entered Nina’s mouth, startling her. But Nina didn’t back down, she swirled her own tongue around Milly’s. They continued to kiss for a few moments more before Nina pulled off and moved her mouth down to one of Milly’s tits. Placing her lips around Milly’s nipple, she began to lick and suck, which rewarded her with a moan from the busty blonde.

“Ahh- Nina, you’re doing so great. Keep it up” Milly panted as Nina happily suckled on her teat. She had to admit, Nina looked perfect where she was, worshipping her boobs. She began to stroke Nina’s hair, still wet from the bath, and spoke softly to her again, “Good girl, Nina.”

Nina’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing Milly say that. The praise only made her work faster, sucking and licking to her heart’s content. As she did this, Milly’s hand moved from Nina’s hair down to her chest, pinching one of her nipples. This triggered a yelp from Nina, who was still enjoying herself.

Milly paused for a moment and asked, “Are you having fun, Nina? Are you feeling comfortable?” Nina gave her a quiet nod.

“Good,” she continued, “Because I think I want to try something else. Let’s get out of the bath.” Nina climbed out of the bath and followed Milly to the showers. Milly turned one of them on and pulled Nina in, wrapping her arms around her. She kissed Nina before asking, “Would you like to go down on me?”

Nina looked away nervously, “Oh, I don’t know, I’ve never done it before…”

“I can do it to you instead, if you’d like. I don’t mind.” Milly grabbed a hold of Nina’s hand, looking deeply into her eyes. All that mattered to her was Nina’s pleasure and comfort.

“You would? Even with…” Nina trailed off, looking downward.

Milly chuckled. “You really think a little bush will scare your class prez?”

Nina blushed, but she smiled nonetheless. “O-Okay, let’s do it.”

Milly knelt down and inched closer to Nina’s pussy. Her thighs were wet from the mix of bath water and her own arousal. Nina’s hair tickled Milly’s nose as her tongue entered her vagina. The dark haired girl yelped, pleasure shooting throughout her body. Milly looked up with pleading eyes at Nina, the older girl’s blonde hair falling behind her shoulders. She pulled out for a moment and started to suck on Nina’s clit.

Nina closed her eyes and let herself succumb to the ecstasy of Milly eating her out. She put her hands on Milly’s head and held on as Milly’s tongue continued to trace along her clit. Milly pulled back to take a breath before she put her tongue back into Nina’s folds. Nina let out a moan, “Fuck, Milly, I feel so good!”

Milly smiled as she kept licking. Her tongue reached every inch of Nina’s pussy. The petite girl panted as Milly brought her closer and closer to orgasm. Her face began to turn pink again, from the thought of how lewd she was allowing herself to be, especially with her oldest friend.

“Ahh- Milly, I’m-” Nina had barely finished her sentence before she climaxed. Her breath hitched as she came all over Milly’s mouth. Milly pulled out and wiped the remainder of Nina’s juices off of her mouth. She stood up and wrapped her arms around Nina, kissing her forehead. Nina smiled, and spoke “That was wonderful, Milly.”

“Good girl” Milly cooed as she brushed Nina’s hair with her fingers. She looked so delicate, it made Milly’s heart flutter.

Nina’s face turned red again. “Milly, stop saying that, you’re embarrassing me…”

Milly held Nina’s face, staring deep into her dark blue eyes. “Good. You’re adorable when you’re like this. Embarrassment doesn’t need to mean shame.”

As Milly leaned in for a kiss, they heard footsteps coming into the bathroom. Nina jumped, instinctively nudging closer to Milly and covering herself. The thought of some random classmate figuring out her secret like this made the color drain from her face. She could NOT let anyone else know, at least not yet. Even if Ashford Academy itself was welcoming, she did not want to take that gamble with many of her classmates. If she did tell anyone in the near future, it would only be the rest of the Student Council.

Thinking quickly, Milly grabbed a bar of soap from one of the shelves in the shower. She began rubbing herself and Nina down with the soap, hopefully giving the impression to any potential intruders that they were just showering together. Sure enough, another student passed by, heading towards the lockers.

“O-Oh, I’m sorry, I just came to grab my water bottle. I forgot it here. I hope I’m not interrupting… uh…” the girl trailed off, giving them a puzzled look. She stared directly at the two of them, with Nina cowering behind Milly as the latter had her hands on her hips, not even bothering to cover her own naked body.

Milly, who was now facing the other female student, said “What? Can’t two friends shower together? We’re both girls.” She glared at the classmate, her steely gaze beginning to intimidate her. “Are you judging us or something?”

The girl stuttered, “N-No, sorry for intruding!” She rushed to grab her water bottle, and left quickly, giving the two their privacy.

Milly sighed and turned back towards Nina, “Now, where were we?”

Nina avoided looking at Milly’s face, still a little embarrassed from both the praise and the near-disaster of being caught. Her heart was practically beating out of her chest. Milly held her chin and made Nina look at her. “Remember what I said, Nina. We stop when you say you want to stop. There’s no shame in getting overwhelmed.”

The smaller girl stayed silent for a bit, but she knew in her heart she wanted to keep going, at least until Milly came once. She wanted to make her feel good, too. “Can we go one more round?”

Suddenly, Milly wrapped her arms around Nina and pulled her close for a hug, deliberately shoving her face into her boobs. “Of course!” Nina’s face turned red again, but she was happy. Happy to be in between Milly’s soft breasts, happy to be in her arms, just happy to be with her.

The blonde let Nina pull away. Nina moved her hand down to Milly’s crotch. She ran one of her fingers along her pussy before slipping it in, eliciting a moan from Milly. She gently slipped her middle finger in as well, sliding both fingers in and out. She started to kiss Milly on the lips again. Their tongues were intertwined, their hearts practically beating in tandem as their chests were pressed close to each other.

Milly pulled away from the kiss and sang Nina’s praises once again. “Keep going, Nina, you’re doing so good. You’re so wonderful.” Nina only got more turned on by this. She didn’t understand why, but the praise made her heart flutter, and it made her that much more horny. It made her want to make Milly feel amazing. Her fingers moved faster, drawing out more moans from Milly.

The shower water continued to pelt them as they made love. Milly kissed Nina once again, and Nina kept thrusting her fingers in and out of Milly’s vagina. She worked with determination, eager to please Milly.

The blonde girl asked between her yelps and moans, “Are you- Ahh- ready to go down on me? Nnhh…” Nina stopped fingering her for a second, and nodded ‘yes.’

Nina knelt down, preparing herself to eat Milly out. She inched closer to her crotch, taking one last breath before plunging her tongue into Milly’s cunt. Despite her nervousness, she took to cunnilingus like a natural. She did exactly as Milly did to her, thrusting her tongue in and out, sucking on her clit, running her tongue along the folds of her pussy.

Milly, of course, had to say those damned words again. “Good girl, Nina.”

Nina blushed again, but she didn’t stop. She kept tonguing her cunt, wrapping her arms around to grab hold of Milly’s ass. She squeezed both cheeks as she kept eating. Milly gave a lecherous smile, proud of how Nina’s perverted side had finally been drawn out by the Student Council president herself. Nina’s tongue began to move faster. Milly could feel herself getting closer, but she wasn’t ready yet, she wanted to do one more thing with Nina.

“Ah- Nina, stop-!” Milly cried out.

Nina obeyed, moving herself away from Milly’s pussy. “What’s wrong, Milly?”

Milly panted, “I don’t want to come… just yet… I want us to come together.”

“O-Oh, alright,” she said as she stood up.

Milly grabbed one of Nina’s legs and lifted it up around her waist, inching herself closer to the other’s pussy. She began to buck her hips and rub her own cunt against Nina’s. The two of them scissored as the shower water continued to fall. Nothing else mattered to either of them right now. Not Lake Kawaguchi, not Narita, not any of the chaos that has been going on for the past month.

Nina’s face was burning, her eyes avoidant of Milly’s gaze. She tried to suppress her moans to no avail. ‘Fuck, Nina looks so cute,’ Milly thought. They both began tribbing faster. Milly reached in for a kiss again, and Nina obliged, keeping her eyes closed. Her heart was now beating out of her chest. She continued to push through her anxiety and let Milly have her way with her.

Suddenly, Milly began to cry out, “Yes, Nina! Keep it up! Keep fucking me! Keep blushing for me! I love you when you’re embarrassed! I love when you’re vulnerable with me!” Milly grabbed a hold of Nina’s face with one hand and turned her head to face her, looking deep into her eyes. “Never hide your feelings from me! Nina, be mine!!!”

Milly’s words pushed Nina over the edge, causing her to climax again. Milly finally reached orgasm as well, letting out a moan louder than Nina would have liked. The risk of them getting caught like this again was slim, but not Zero. When the climax faded, the two of them slumped down onto the shower floor and laid up against the wall. Nina let herself fall onto Milly, resting her head on the blonde’s shoulder.

Nina panted, letting her breath slow, “I… I think I’m done… if that’s okay, Milly.”

Milly smiled as she brushed Nina’s green hair again. “Of course, Nina. Let’s rest here for a little, ‘Kay?”

And so they did. They laid there for a while, letting the afterglow run its course. They rested together for a few minutes in quiet, just holding each other close. Nina eventually broke the silence, “Thank you for this, Milly.”

Milly chuckled, “You liked that? Just wait until I test out my new toys on you.” She squirted some shampoo into her hands and began rubbing it into her hair.

Nina brushed her hair back, “Not just that, I mean… Thank you. For supporting me.”

Milly kept lathering her hair with the shampoo, letting it rinse off. “Of course, Nina. That’s what friends are supposed to do.”

Nina frowned nervously. “Are we… still friends, after this? Everything’s going to change, isn’t it?” She knew things wouldn’t be the same as they were before. There were some lines that couldn’t be un-crossed.

Milly looked at Nina. “Nothing has to change at all, if you don’t want it to. We can just be friends who have sex, or we can be more. It’s up to you to decide, Nina.”

Before she could reach for the bar of soap, Nina grabbed Milly’s arm, and pleaded with her, “Please don’t tell the others yet. I want to tell them myself, when I’m ready.”

Milly held Nina’s hands and smiled, “Of course, Nina. And when you do decide you’re ready, I’ll be right there with you. Now come on, let’s wash off for real and get dressed. I’m sure Shirley and Lelouch will be back soon.”

They washed themselves off together, occasionally sharing a kiss as the water washed the soap from their bodies. Milly poured some shampoo into Nina’s hair and tenderly rubbed it in.

As they got dressed and left the bathroom, they walked back to the student council room, with their hands held together. Nina was still nervous about others knowing that she’s gay, but with Milly at her side, she felt more confident in herself than she has felt in a long time.
