The next morning I awoke still feeling warm and embarrassed about how I had acted the night before. I had waited until most people had left before finally sneaking down the side path to go straight home. When I reached my room and checked my phone, I was amazed at the messages I saw from Toin. The first one had a time stamp to show that it occurred the other night after I had sent him a pic, but the second message was only a few minutes old and was clearly sent as soon as he got home.
"Not sure what you are trying to send me, but it won't load. I don't know if I'll make it to the festival, pretty busy. Sorry." I frowned at the message, more just curious why he showed up if his message said he wasn't planning on making it. The second message made me blush, "Had a lot of fun, can't wait to do that again to you. Maybe next time you can return the favor too." Accompanying the message was a picture that was clear the moment I opened my phone that Toin had sent me a picture of his penis. I was a little surprised that the picture didn't bother me at all. I was much more embarrassed by how brazenly he implied he wanted to finger me again. I looked at the picture for a long time before getting under the covers and falling asleep.
Now with the morning light shining through my window, I wondered if I should have sent him a reply right away. I bet he was up for a while, waiting for me to get home and send him a similar picture. It took a while to finally get out of bed, but when I did I tried my best to make the morning as normal as possible. I knew the day ahead of me was going to be busy so I didn't bother with a shower yet, instead just getting dressed and heading down to breakfast. Mom and dad were still sitting down to some toast and eggs while Hara watched morning cartoons in the other room. His half-eaten plate was evident enough that he'd rather watch shows than eat a healthy breakfast. I helped clean up his spot before fixing my own plate and joining my parents.
My father seemed as tired as I was, eating his food as slowly as possible while he read the morning paper. We both knew that as soon as we finished breakfast we'd have to head up to the shrine and start cleaning up as the festival crews broke down their tents and booths. The weather outside was as clear as it had been for a lot of the summer and I could already feel the heat creeping up on the day. With a clink of my dad's fork on his plate to signal that he had finished his food, I grabbed the last few bites of my own and hurried to keep up with him.
By the time we got up to the shrine half the booths were already broken down and crews were working on the rest of them. Some would offer thanks to dad while they walked by with arm loads of things, appreciative of having a place to set up for the festival. Dad wanted to focus on the grounds that were already cleared of the tents, and asked me to work on the shrine buildings. Sure enough there were muddy footprints over all the walkways around the buildings, and here and there were various wrappers from treats or festival food. I started on picking up the trash before getting the mop ready and working my way around the walkways. As I opened the door to the maintenance shed to get the mop, I was startled to see a cute plushie hedgehog sitting there. I completely forgot about Ami winning it and giving it to me. Pulling out the mop, I started tackling the muddy footprints. The trees helped keep the air cool, something I was thankful for as the sun worked its way higher and higher in the sky. Reaching the back side of the buildings where there was a lot less foot traffic, my mopping went a lot faster. I paused though, coming across a spot on the walkway where a large patch of whitish dust made a strange pattern on the wood. I looked around for a minute before realizing where I was, only ten hours ago I had cum all over the boards here, my juices drying out in the heat of the morning and leaving a white dust behind. I could feel myself get wet at the thought of what Toin did to me, biting my lip as I hoped no one had been back here to have possibly seen the scene of the crime so to speak. I quickly began to mop it up, scrubbing harder than I needed to in my attempt to erase my lewd behavior.
By midday the festival crew had finished with the last of their tents and my dad and I worked by ourselves to finish the cleaning. Mom and Hara eventually came up with a pitcher of ice water and a couple sandwiches. Another hour of work after our break and the four of us walked down the hillside with hands full of garbage bags and the satisfaction of having gotten everything cleaned before too much of the day had gone by. Hara trailed behind us, carrying the hedgehog for me.
"Well, even with the festival keeping all their earnings, we still had quite a few donations from last night. Not enough to hire Gihei again, but with the summer we've had I don't think there is nearly as much to worry about. I just hope it doesn't die out too quickly once the fall weather sinks in". My dad was mostly talking to my mom, but I felt like he was speaking loud enough to keep me included in the conversation. I blushed from the idea that my body helped us make so much of the money from the rest of summer, but luckily the heat and walking made the blush go unnoticed by my parents.
When we got back to the house and I was in my room changing out of dusty work clothes, I noticed I had some messages on my phone. Ami had started a chain of messages with me and Echiko, and the two of them had been going back and forth for most of the day.
"Hey! Do you two want to come over tonight for a sleepover? We haven't had one in AGES!"
"Sorry woke up late what time were you thinking"
"Oh, some time after dinner maybe. Did the festival wear you out last night?"
" ^.^ something certainly wore me out last night… or I should say someone"
"Gross Echiko, we don't need to hear about that."
"But if we are having a sleepover then you two will hear all about it."
"Shizu, are you there? Do you think you can make it tonight?"
I just shook my head with a smile on my face, my friends being the same as always. I typed a quick reply, "Been up at the shrine all morning, just showering now. After dinner sounds great." I stripped off the rest of my clothes and wrapped a towel around me for the short walk to the shower, but before I even left my room Ami had replied.
"Yay! My parents are going to be out for the night so we have the whole house to ourselves." I made a mental note to bring some aspirin or something, Echiko usually played music way too loud whenever she was over at either of our houses and no one else was home. Her excuse was that there weren't any neighbors to be mad about the noise.
The shower felt amazing after the long morning of work. I knew everyone else was going to want to shower too so I kept myself from using up too much of the hot water. I chose out a cute outfit for wearing over to Ami's house, pulling out the nice boots that Echiko got me for my birthday and selecting a skirt and blouse that would go well with it. My closet was still mostly empty with my clothes in a pile, waiting to be hung up. I grabbed the first bra and matching underwear I could find, dressing quickly and brushing my hair as it dried. Dad was in the shower as I headed downstairs, but mom was sitting in the living room. I dropped my boots off at the front door before going in to talk to mom, "Ami was hoping Echiko and I could sleepover tonight, is that alright? I was thinking of heading over after dinner."
Mom turned to look at me, "Of course dear, thanks for all your help today. You sure look nice though, I hope there aren't any boys visiting you girls tonight." I rolled my eyes as mom laughed at me, but her little jokes were worth it when she was so agreeable to let me go do things.

After dinner I threw a few things into my backpack to bring for the sleepover, including the stuffed hedgehog, and headed back down to throw my boots on. Ami's house wasn't too far away and I was used to walking to it all the time. The air was warm as I stepped out of the house, the sun still shining over the distant hills west of us. I reached up to unbutton my blouse a bit, doing whatever I could to keep from sweating on my walk over. As I knocked on their front door, I was greeted by Echiko opening the door for me, "Welcome Shizu! Taking a leaf out of my book?" She pointed at my exposed cleavage.
"Please, as if. If I were copying you, you could tell what bra I was wearing. It's just too hot to not let it breathe a bit." I stepped into the house, thankful for the air conditioning that Ami's family had. Ami was in the living room, and by the looks of it you'd almost think her room exploded and deposited all of her stuff in the living room. The couches were piled with blankets and pillows from her room, several manga were out on the table, and Echiko had thrown some smutty romance movie onto the television. "Looks like you two got the party started without me." I tossed my backpack on the smallest couch, practically just a wide chair that often ended up being my spot for the night. Ami had gotten up and rushed me for a hug, "Ei, jeez Ami, you'd think you hadn't seen me for months."
"I'm just so glad we could do a sleepover like this. By next summer, we might be too busy to hang out like this again." I gave up resisting, letting Ami get her long hug in before some moaning on the TV caused us to stop and look up. The man on the screen was fucking a young woman from behind, and almost nothing was blocked. Ami turned to Echiko slowly, "What kind of movie did you bring into my house?"
Echiko gave us a look like there was fire in her eyes, her smile making a smirk before answering, "Oh, just a little something from my boyfriend in Okayama. Kisho's older brother is a movie producer, and he even said he might be able to get me into a movie sometime."
It was hard for me to pull my eyes away from the screen, the physical interaction from the couple making me feel as warm as I did outside, "Um… Echiko, do you really think a movie like this would be a good thing for you to make your acting debut with?"
"Why not, I'm a lot better at this kind of thing than I am at remembering lines. Especially since I know all the lines and choreography anyways." She gave a playful wink before throwing pillows at me and Ami, more to jog us from our stupor than anything else.
I looked between the TV and the others, hesitating to speak before finally saying, "It's not like it's hurting anyone. Let's just turn the volume down."
Echiko nearly jumped for joy at the sound of one of her friends caving in like that, and Ami just sighed and agreed. We all began milling about for a bit getting set up, grabbing snacks and sodas to have out on the table. Echiko disappeared for a moment and came back wearing what she called "pajamas", a white tank top she wore as a kid and some fuzzy booty shorts that were probably a size too big. They kept wanting to slide down her butt as she walked, which wouldn't have been much of a problem if she wore underwear with it.
The first hour we mostly just kept to ourselves, settling into our spots around the living room and reading manga. I only made it about three pages before I started getting distracted by the TV, angling my book so that it looked like I was reading while actually looking over the page at the screen. The plot of the romance was lousy, the most basic tropes you could imagine, but every scene seemed to end in another sex session of some kind. At one point two women were on screen and began to make out with each other. A sudden noise jarred me away from the screen, Ami had dropped her book and was in a fluster trying to pick it up, blushing as she hid her face in the pages.
-
When the movie was finally over, Ami jumped up to put something else on, finding an old anime that we used to watch together and putting it on for nostalgia's sake. Echiko put her book down with a groan, "Alright, if we aren't going to have anything fun on the TV, then we should play a game. Do you two want to play King?"
Ami twisted her face into a confused look, "With three of us? That wouldn't be any fun at all."
"How about truth or dare then? It's basically the same thing but without the sticks and we all take turns. I know it is big in America, and it's not like we don't know how it works." Echiko seemed eager for it, so I just shrugged and gave a single nod in compliance.
Ami was a little more skeptical but agreed, "Fine, but it has to stay in the house. I'm not going to go anywhere or have something hang over me for a year. I still don't forgive you for making me have to 'bah' like a sheep for an entire school year instead of saying hello each morning."
I suppressed a giggle while Echiko laughed really hard, "That was eight years ago, give it a rest. I'm not that immature anymore." She grabbed one of her blankets and used it as a mat to sit on the floor, beckoning Ami and I to join her.
Once I had settled in I finally spoke up, "How should we start? Should Ami go first since it's her party?"
Echiko nodded and Ami sighed, but finally said, "Alright… Echiko, truth or dare?"
"Hmm… let's start with a truth."
"Okay…" Ami paused for a moment in thought, "We both know you have been with a lot of boys… just how many have you slept with now?"
"By sleeping with I'm assuming you mean fucked?" I could tell she was teasing her, Ami had always been shy about using sexual terms even though she swore as much as the rest of us. "Well that is a hard thing to keep track of… I think my current count is somewhere between thirty three and thirty seven, there was this one party and I wasn't quite sure if all the guys in the room actually took a turn or had just been watching."
Ami was speechless when she heard that, and even I was surprised a bit. I knew it was a lot, but I didn't know it was quite that many. I couldn't help but ask, "How many of those were just this summer?"
"Now now Shizu, if you want to know that you'll have to wait until you can ask me a truth. But for now, Shizu, truth or dare?"
I gulped, not wanting to be the first dare that Echiko got to torment for the evening. "Um, truth."
"What's your most fucked up fantasy? Even if it is something you would never actually do in a million years, but it makes you wet just at the thought of it." I could almost feel the vibration in the floor as Ami squirmed in her spot.
I had never really put a lot of thought into defining it before, though that's not to say I couldn't immediately think of a few things that fit the bill. I could feel myself getting wet just running through the list of things in my head. "Well… and this all stays between us three, right?" I waited for nods from both of them. "Well, if I was going to have to say something that I really like fantasizing about but would never ever, EVER, try… I really want to be strangled. To pass out and almost die while a man touches me, and to wake up having been used and left dirty."
Ami looked like she was about to faint and Echiko was just staring at me with her mouth slightly agape, "that is so hot. Do I have a manga for you." Echiko started reaching into her bag for something but I just waved a hand.
"You can give me whatever it is later. Let's just move on. Ami, truth or dare?"
"Oh, um, truth I guess since you both did it."
"Are there any boys you like right now?"
Ami started to blush, which got Echiko more excited about hearing the answer, "There aren't really any boys that I like…"
Echiko looked defeated, "No boys? At all? How is that even possible?"
"I just don't really, boys are so stupid and really are only necessary for the continuation of the species. I don't see how me liking them or not would really matter much."
"Oh don't get all scientific about it. Do you like girls instead or something?" Ami started to blush harder. "Oh? Oh! That's it, isn't it? You like girls?"
My first reaction was to roll my eyes at Echiko's accusation, but as Ami turned a deeper red and finally nodded, my brain flooded with memories and instances in our life where things started to click. Ami has always hated hearing about Echiko's sex life because of guys. She didn't like the porn on the TV because of penises. She was excited to win me the hedgehog plushie…
My brain froze. Did Ami like me? Or Echiko? Was she friends with us just so that she could try getting closer to us? I started to shake my head violently, of course Ami wasn't like that, she was our friend because we had been since we were kids.
"Shizu, are you alright? You are just shaking your head." Ami was looking at me with a worried look on her face, her glasses making her eyes seem larger than normal.
"Oh, no no no, don't worry. I wasn't shaking my head about your choices on who you like, it was just me shaking away thoughts. We're fine." I smiled at her warmly. "But I'm surprised we didn't know until now that you like girls. Why haven't you said anything before?"
Ami looked down at the floor, intertwining her fingers for a moment as she decided what to say, "It hasn't been for very long, only this last school year. I always thought boys were gross, I just didn't realize that girls were an option until I started reading some more adult manga. I haven't acted on anything though, I'm still trying to figure things out. You two are the only ones who know."
We were all quiet for a minute or two until Echiko finally spoke, "Well, nothing about you seems different to me, you are still Ami. No sense in changing things." Echiko gave her a smile. "It's your turn now, so really dish out some damage to us."
"Haha, okay… um, Shizu, truth or dare?"
I hesitated, but it was safer starting with Ami than letting Echiko have her way, "I'll take a dare."
"I dare you to… play the rest of the game in just your underwear." Ami looked excited for a second that she came up with such a tame dare, but we both gave her an odd look. "Oh, no! Not like that, I wasn't trying to undress you for my own benefit. I just thought it would be a funny dare."
I tried to laugh it off, starting to unbutton my blouse, "No, it's fine. Just the timing of it was a little comical. No reason not to take a dare like that, you two have seen me in underwear plenty of times." I had to stand up to slip down my skirt and get to the last couple buttons of my blouse.
As my clothes fell to the floor, Echiko whistled, "Wow, did you save those just for the sleepover?"
I looked down at my body. I was wearing the lacy blue panties and bra I had gotten in the city at the beginning of summer. I could immediately tell, and hoped that the others hadn't noticed, but a wet spot was on my panties from where I had turned myself on earlier. "I just grabbed the first set of matching underwear I could find in my clothes pile. I was doing laundry this weekend and hadn't hung anything up yet." As I sat back down, I grabbed part of the blanket to wrap around me.
"No no no, Shizu. No covering yourself up, that defeats the point." Echiko was wagging a finger at me.
"Can we at least turn the AC off, I'll freeze in here if I'm the only one like this." I could already feel my nipples hardening in the cold air, and looking down again I could see them poking the lacy fabric, the darker pink of them visible through the thin material.
Ami stood up, walking to the thermostat, "I'll turn it up two degrees, but we'll be sweating to death in here if we don't keep the AC going. Your turn, Shizu."
I was just trying to keep myself from shivering, making a little nest out of my blanket for warmth and slowly covering sections of my legs while I got feedback from Echiko if I was "concealing too much" or not. Once Ami sat back down I asked, "Alright Echiko, truth or dare?"
"Hmm, truth." She gave me a playful wink.
"Oh you are no fun. Let's see… have you ever been paid for sex?"
"Oh yeah." Echiko didn't even hesitate to answer. "Um, let's see. I think it was two different times… no, two different guys. So one guy, he was older, one of the first I ever slept with, though not THE first. He offered me quite a bit to sleep with him. Paid for a shopping spree, mom didn't even notice when I came home with everything. The other guy is someone at our school. It was kind of a weird circumstance leading up to it, but now we fuck on the regular, and he always has a bit of spending money for me."
"Um, wow…" I didn't know how else to respond. "How did the thing with the guy at our school start?"
"Well, it was when I got my first cell phone, that pathetic flip one. The plan mom had me on meant I had a certain number of texts and then I would be charged for extras. Mom took it out of my allowance when I went over for the month, and I was always going over. This guy at school that I could tell wanted me would text me all the time. I told him that it was costing me money just to get and receive texts. So he offered me some money since he was using texts to ask for a hook up. Even when I got a smart phone, we just kept the same system, he texts me and I fuck him for a few hundred yen. It's not about the money really, I more just enjoy getting paid for it. It makes the sex so much hotter than just hooking up with him, knowing that I am just being bought for my body. Anyways, Ami, truth or dare?"
Ami was stunned for a moment, finally answering with a hesitant, "Dare…"
"Excellent," Echiko grinned devilishly, "I dare you to make out with Shizu, tongue and everything."
I stammered for a second, "Hold on now, this is Ami's dare, how am I a part of it?"
Echiko turned to me, "Are you refusing to be a part of it?"
I paused for a second, unsure. I was well within my rights of the game to not do it, it wasn't my turn. Plus it is just a stupid game. Looking at Ami though, I could tell she was breathing heavier and blushing. Was she hoping I'd say yes? "Um… I'll leave it up to Ami. If she doesn't want to do it, then I am going to call bullshit on the dare. But if she wants to… I'll do it." I couldn't help but blush myself.
Ami took a second to answer, finally saying, "Sure, let's do the dare."
I turned to face her and she scooted closer to me on her blanket. Our knees touched, her hands reaching forward awkwardly, not knowing where to place them. "Would… you like me to take over?" I asked her quietly. She just nodded shyly. I guided one of her hands to my bra and the other to the back of my neck to support my head. Then reaching for her, I pulled her close to me by grabbing her back and head, bringing my lips to her's. It was soft at first, just a gentle brushing of our lips. My mind was a little fuzzy, I hadn't kissed too many boys, but it had always felt normal when I did, and nothing about this felt wrong to me. If anything I felt awkward because Ami and I were such good friends. I let my fingers work their way into her auburn hair, gently pulling her head to mine as I pressed my lips more firmly against her's. I thought about kissing Toin and Masahiro from the party, being more aggressive and parting my lips. As soon as I felt the same parting of Ami's lips, I let my tongue slide into her mouth and feel around for her tongue. Her mouth was so small, gentle, so unlike a guy's. I could feel her hand squeezing my breast through the bra, slowly getting into the make out as our tongues danced together. Finally after a minute, our lips parted, a thin line of saliva stretching from her panting mouth to mine.
"Holy fuck, that was hot. I am so wet right now," Echiko's voice broke the moment between Ami and I, each of us quickly reaching up to wipe our faces and scooch a couple feet away from each other. "Oh, you don't have to stop on my account." I shot her a dirty look, one that said to stop teasing Ami so badly.
Ami seemed to recover quickly. "Well, since it is my turn now, Echiko, dare or dare?"
"Hey, that's not how the game is played."
"No, but Shizu and I have both done dares and you need to."
"Fine, dare then, but I was going to say dare anyways."
Ami thought for a second, grinning slightly, "Alright then, prove how wet that really got you watching us make out. I dare you to masturbate in front of us."
Echiko seemed only too eager to accept, "Not a problem. You'd be surprised how many guys like to watch this before we have fun." She pulled her shorts off completely and lifted her tank top to above her breasts. Squeezing her own breast and occasionally pinching her nipple, she reached down with her other hand and immediately stuck two fingers inside of her. From the sound, it was clear she was quite wet. For a moment, I felt envious. I was still wet from my truth earlier, and maybe a little from making out with Ami. Why couldn't I be the one masturbating in front of them?
I could feel myself getting wetter while I watched Echiko, fixated on her body more than I was on anything else this evening. She was so comfortable with her body and just touched herself in whatever way she wanted, whatever way would give her pleasure. For a minute, I could see her start prodding her ass a bit with one of the fingers she wasn't using, and it was always paired with a particularly rough pinch of her nipples. A thin trail of liquid ran from the base of her slit towards the floor, clear at first but getting creamier as she continued to froth the juices as they came out of her. I really wanted to join in, but without being dared it felt wrong, like it would change things from being just a sleepover into something… else.
When Echiko finally came, she let out a muffled scream through her hand, finally collapsing backwards and panting heavily, her breasts going up and down as her chest worked at getting oxygen. She looked half unconscious, laying there in a wave of euphoria until her senses slowly came back to her. Ami and I remained speechless until she finally sat up, pulling her shorts back on and wrapping up in her blanket.
"That's been built up since we put the movie on. So, Shizu… truth or dare?" Echiko gave me a grin, but Ami threw a pillow in her face.
"Can't we just call it a night on all that?" Ami pouted.
"We all did one dare, right? I don't mind taking one more truth and then calling it a night." Echiko looked like she really wanted to dare me to do something, but she caved in. It was getting late after all.
"Alright, a truth… what did you and Toin do during the fireworks?"
Knowing Echiko wouldn't be satisfied without every detail, the next hour before we took our spots on the couches and went to bed was filled with me telling them all about making out with Toin and how he fingered me until I orgasmed. Even when Ami got up to use the bathroom, I quickly told Echiko about how I was cleaning up earlier today and came across the spot on the walkway where it happened.
Once the lights were out and I could hear the heavy breathing of my best friends sleeping soundly, I quietly crept to the bathroom, where I let my fingers explore myself until the frustration of not being able to cum during truth or dare was finally rectified.
