"Time to take a dip." After Koneko was somewhat comfortable in the water, Abaddon decided to move things along. Koneko's reaction was a silent one as the grip of her fingers on his shoulder tightened.
"Just keep looking at me, okay? It'll be fun." He gently held the sides of her face and made her look at him. He slowly dipped down into the water while pulling Koneko with him keeping her at his eye level.
As the water reached their neck, he told her, "Don't open your mouth, and don't try to breathe." He brought her down into the water up to her chin as Koneko's eyes closed tightly. As the water touched her lips, Abaddon didn't waste any time as he directly brought her head under the water. Going slow after this point would be detrimental instead.
He was keeping an eye on Koneko as her eyes opened wide and she opened her mouth instinctively to say something, though she only released air bubbles as the water invaded her mouth. Abaddon quickly pulled her back out of the water as she coughed violently.
"There there…" He comforted her while rubbing her back as he brought her higher up by holding her thighs to the point where the water was just up to her waist. This was a disadvantage of her being short. Even as Abaddon easily stood in the water, Koneko had to rely on him to keep her face above the water.
After Koneko emptied her lungs for the most part she looked at him guiltily expecting him to reprimand her but was surprised to see his gentle smile, "You wanna try again?" He asked her patiently.
Koneko just nodded with an embarrassed expression as she held his shoulder again.
"Be prepared," He pulled her down into the water again, though this time, she ended up breathing underwater and getting her nose filled with the water. She'd breathed in the water with the worst possible method as if she was a normal human, the rest of her day would be spent with an aching nose as she felt uncomfortable all the time.
"Shhh…" He comforted her again while also helping her magically clean out the water from her air ducts. Even now, Koneko was surprised that he was being so patient with her. She'd thought that he would've given up already.
Her problem persisted for a few more attempts as Abaddon even tried to get her to hold her nose, but she ended up panicking under the water and getting the same problem again.
"I'll help you out this time," He told her as she asked him, "How?"
"Turn around." He told her while flipping her around in the water. He was the one who was keeping her afloat anyway. Koneko didn't have much mobility other than flapping her arms and legs helplessly. He made it such that her back was pressing against his chest and his left arm was wrapped around her belly, holding her against him and making sure that she stayed afloat.
"Senpai?" She asked him.
"I'm going to hold your nose and mouth closed so that you don't get any water in this time." He told her as he slowly trailed his right hand over to her mouth and nose, "Get comfortable with this first. Then we'll move on to underwater again." He said as he clasped his hand over her face. His thumb and index fingers clasped over her nose so that her nostrils would be blocked while the rest of his hand applied pressure on her mouth and lower jaw and made sure that she couldn't open her mouth to get any air.
'To think I would be doing something like this with Koneko…' He thought with an inward laugh. The technique he was using was a typical choking method he used when he did breath play while fucking a girl.
Koneko was calm as his hand clasped half of her face. However, she did get a little tense as evidenced by her hands grabbing his wrist without any move to pull him away.
After a while, she tapped his wrist to get him to free her, but he didn't pull away, "Keep holding your breath, Koneko." He said into her ear. His action distinctly made Koneko aware of how close her body was pressing against his as she practically froze in her spot. However, it wasn't until a few seconds later that she tapped again, feeling her lungs demanding air.
"Shhh…" He gently cooed in her ear and rubbed her belly with a comforting touch to make her acceptable with holding her breath for longer periods of time.
The sensation that ran across Koneko's entire body from Abaddon's actions was just marvelous as she felt it that much more distinctly due to being deprived of air. It made her body hyperaware of whatever was going on around her.
After a while, Abaddon finally let her mouth and nose free as breathed deeply with her entire body heaving up and down. He just held her afloat as she caught her breath for the next minute or so.
"You okay?" He asked her without turning her to face him.
"Mm…" She nodded.
"Again?" He asked again as he pressed his hand against her belly and made her body press against his.
"Mm…" She nodded again and Abaddon's hand trailed up to her chin again. However, instead of cupping her face like before, Abaddon held her chin between his thumb and forefinger and made her head bob up and down. Koneko loosened her jaw and that made him just bring her lower jaw up and down, "My name is Koneko. I'm very non-expressive and don't talk that much unless necessary…" He imitated Koneko's usual flat tone.
"Pftt…" That elicited a little laugh from Koneko, though she couldn't really laugh freely as Abaddon continued while holding her jaw, "I have a senior who is the best senior in the world. I want to spend my life with— Hey!" Koneko had just elbowed Abaddon in his ribs. Though he didn't feel it, it ended up interrupting him.
"Let's continue, senpai," Koneko said with reddened cheeks as she refused to turn to look at him.
Abaddon chuckled as he clasped his hand over her mouth, blocking her nose and mouth completely. Before submerging her under the water, he whispered in her ear, "I think my Koneko needs another dose of my tickle torture…" At his words, her body tensed up, but Abaddon didn't give her any time to react and pulled her under the water with himself as he squatted on the floor of the pool. He made sure that he was still stuck to Koneko because she would be more comfortable under the water that way.
This time, Koneko had no trouble keeping herself peacefully submerged as she didn't have to worry about the water getting into her nose or mouth. At some point, she even opened her eyes and was greeted by the view under the water as she looked at the wavy underwater textures with fascination.
After they spent some time under the water, Abaddon pulled her back out before letting go of her mouth and nose to let her breathe freely.
"How do you feel?" He asked her after she recovered.
"Good." She answered flatly.
"Again?" He asked.
"Mm…" She nodded.
"Wanna hold your breath yourself or try it a few more times with me?" He asked her.
"Help first." She said and Abaddon understood. He clasped his hand over her face again as they repeated the process multiple times.
After a while, Koneko was comfortable enough to hold her breath underwater herself. By now, the girls had all come out of the changing room, looking hot as all hell in their beautiful bikinis.
He quietly admired each of the girls in their sexy swimsuits as they made their way to the pool. After admiring them all for a few seconds, he felt a distinct pinch on his waist before looking at Koneko's face which had a tiny pout of dissatisfaction.
"Is my Koneko jealous?" He asked with a laugh as she looked away.
"You may be kind, but you're a pervert through and through…" She said.
"There's nothing perverted about admiring the mesmerizing visages of my girls wearing sexy bikinis." He said righteously.
"Even Asia-senpai?" Koneko asked.
"Well, she's wearing that tight-fitting one-piece swimsuit so it's my duty as a man to admire her perky ass and make her know that she's got a lovely body. Especially that ass." He said with the same tone of righteousness.
Koneko looked at him with a flat expression that didn't give away any of her thoughts.
"You guys seem to be having fun?" Rias swam up from behind Koneko and looked at Abaddon.
"Yeah. We were just about to start some baseline swimming, right, Koneko?" Abaddon asked Koneko.
"Mm…" She nodded as she turned to look at Rias who smiled fondly and ran her fingers through Koneko's hair, "You didn't bully my lovely Rook, did you?" She asked Abaddon.
"Am I that sort of person?" Abaddon asked with an offended tone.
"Yes." "Yes." "Yes." Yes." Abaddon heard far more agreements than he expected. He heard the distinct voices of Rias, Akeno, and Sona, "Even you, Koneko?" He looked at his white-haired junior with a betrayed expression.
"My feelings are hurt. I'll be taking your cute Rook with me to soothe my soul…" Abaddon grabbed Koneko and pulled her away from Rias. The helpless Nekomata couldn't resist as Abaddon wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her to the deep end of the pool.
