Back at home when walking I swore we were being stalked by an animal. I told Lara and she told me to keep going a little further while she stayed back a bit by a few feet. She knew I was still weaker but still I could still fight if I had to.
When we walk inside the house Lara walks in first while I locked the door. I swore I heard some shuffling in the bushes. Likely a wild animal preying on us since we got farther from the town.
As we walk up the stairs I notice her kimono has a tear lower at the feet. Should I tell her or will she spasm out in embarrassment? I sort of what to know her response.
"Hey Lara, your kimono has a tear in it." I say casually.
W-what!? Uhm please don't look up it." she proceeds to walk faster up the stairs and turns the corner before I could catch up. Likely I embarrassed her enough for now.
As I get up the stairs I hear a slam of the door.
*slam*
I look over towards Lara's room. I assume she ran to her room to change after I told her about her clothes. Funny, she is still that easily flustered girl from back then.
I walk over to her door and her door is locked shut. I turn it slowly just to confirm it and yes, she locked the door. I hear the sounds of hangers dropping and cloths flying in her room. I look down at the keyhole and remember that one could do that.
I have never done this keyhole thing but I assume it works in this kind of scenario. A weird feeling in my chest says I can.
I bend down on my knees, and carefully look through the keyhole. Am I a pervert now for doing this? I probably am by this point in time since I chose to do this. I was a virgin and never had a girlfriend in high school. I am not missing this one chance I have to see something in a world on no internet.
As I look through the keyhole I see she has the kimono halfway on. I missed part of it but that's fine. She has such smooth skin. Shel pulls the shoulder portion of the kimono and begins tying it up. I might have missed part of it but at least I saw something.I got to see her in her bra which seemed like a B cup size. I am actually a bit aroused.
However, I feel bad now that I think about it. I just peeked into someone else private space and worst of all ti was someone I actually care for in my life. I'm going to stop now before it goes to far.
I back off from the door and wait outside for her to finish.
When she finishes she walks out in a white kimono with red highlights. Seems so beautiful when she wears it.
"Okay I will tell you about the incident but come in my room for it, please." she opens her door wider to let me in.
I walk inside her room and there are pictures of both me and Lara, her family hanging on the wall. One of them was when I and her father went fishing outside of the city and I got pulled into the water. He was laughing while I was being dragged through the water. Better times.
"So allow me to explain what happened. It occurred when you were in a coma about a year ago.
"You see, when I was still lonely and you were in a coma I was mostly doing chores, helping, and visiting the town for jobs in and out. Visiting the children and playing with them. But then I met this guy, Ugmand as you know him as. He was 19 years old last year and now is 20. But overall he is was a nice guy, well-toned, fit, *mumbles good looking*....."
Well, those don't seem bad. Besides, he got a compliment from Lara and that's an amazing thing in my book. But he seems like an asshole as well. So let's see where this goes.
"So I asked him if he wanted to hang out a bit since we seemed to get along one day at the marketplace. He is a farmer for some of the products so he works hard. But we decided to go to a local tavern and eat some stuff there. We had a lot of laughs and fun jokes towards each other and eventually hit it off."
I am starting to get jealous of this guy...The lucky guy managed to get her to fall in love with him or something like that.
"One day when I introduced him to my parents they were skeptical which makes sense, since they never met him at all like you they had a suspicion about him. But at the time I didn't. When I went to go and change, he was looking through my window one night and I caught him and screamed. He fled that night and didn't come back until 3 days later with flowers proposing to me about getting into a relationship. I would never go out with him after what he did."
So I guess peeking on her is a no-go...I feel even worse than I did before because I did just that a moment ago except maybe worse since I saw some of her skin! I-I have to tell her. I am an honest man when people ai care about me. This is stupid because if I never tell her she won't be harmed but if I keep it a secret it will never leave me alone. But I am going to do it.
"H-hey Lara?"
"Yeah? Questions about the incident?"
"What? No, no I uhm, I have to tell you something. I was..." I cut myself off because I start feeling sick to my stomach and disappointed in myself for what I had done.
"I was peeking on you...just a few moments ago when you were changing" I brace myself for a scream or slap on the face and put my arms up to shield myself.
But instead nothing comes. I open on of my eyes to see her blushing and just smiling at me. Did she not believe me? I need to show I am sorry as much as possible!
I get on my knees and bow down with my snout facing downwards and my tail curled up in shame. I put my hands out asking for forgiveness without words.
But a silence comes over the room and I finally look up at her on the bed. She just seems to smile. What is her game at? Does she still not believe me?
"Yeah uhm" she finally says breaking the silence, "I sort of didn't mind you were doing it. I knew you were looking through the keyhole it wasn't hard to see a yellow eye through the hole."
"What?! You knew I was? Aw man...that's so-"
"Embarrassing? Yeah, it is for me too but I didn't mind it from you." I mean I uh...It's the first time I have seen you naked. Wait no that came out wrong I have never seen you naked just you chet and I...I...Get out!" she starts stammering.
She gets up takes my hand tosses me out of the room and slams it behind me. I guess she finally broke because of herself. Hahaha. I guess in the end we both got embarrassed to a certain degree.
-Lara POV-
"Aw, man...How did this still get turned around on me...I got him to confess my true story and then he somehow makes me speak about seeing his bare chest. I mean I have seen it before but-ooohhh! Did I have to mess up this badly!"
-Meanwhile elsewhere-
Someone is outside of the building on the roof listening in. Hearing every word but didn't take a look through the window. A shadowy figure then jumps down and flees from the property.
Mr. Uchida hears the thud of the landing looks around near the window of the kitchen n and looks outside. With confusion, he just assumes it's a predator from outside stalking.
"What in the hell are these animals doing? Better get hunting soon. Keeping those predators out of town is serious work during these times of the year." he says to himself.
