Behind Frosted Glass

“Is there anywhere else you’d like to see? I don’t think there’s much left to look at.”

Chloe was already growing weary from the tour; even in her own home, she wouldn’t usually spend so much time examining every detail.

“Mhm, I’ve seen enough as well. Chloe’s house is truly beautiful.”

“It’s Senior Tia’s house, not mine!”

“Right, right. I actually need to use the restroom. My stomach suddenly feels a bit uncomfortable.”

Night Moon clutched her abdomen, a hint of embarrassment coloring her cheeks. Chloe could probably guess the reason for the sudden discomfort.

“Here, the restroom is right here.”

“Okay~”

After leading her to the restroom in the living room, Chloe noticed Tia still seated in her original spot, the tea on the table now cold, no longer emitting any warmth.

“Finished with your tour? Did you gain any new insights?”

Tia rose gracefully, slowly approaching Chloe.

“What does Master mean by that? Chloe has been living here for a while now; how could there be any new insights?”

“Oh? Night Moon’s eyes and nose are quite sharp, aren’t they? How could there be nothing?”

Tia steadily drew nearer, not pausing even when she reached Chloe, compelling Chloe to step back. It wasn’t until a soft ‘thump’ sounded that Chloe realized she had nowhere left to retreat, her back pressing against the frosted glass door of the restroom.

“Huh? Is Chloe going to the restroom too? I can hurry if you’re in a rush,” Night Moon called out from within, having heard the strange noise from the door.

“N-no… I’m not in a hurry. I just accidentally bumped into something. Take your time… Ah…”

Chloe was likely unaware that while the frosted glass door was opaque under normal circumstances, if one pressed too close, faint outlines could still be discerned through it.

And she said she wasn’t in a hurry, yet here she is, waiting right by the door, Night Moon thought, gazing helplessly at the petite silhouette projected onto the frosted glass.

“I’ll be out soon; just a little longer.”

Outside the restroom, Chloe was now pinned against the door by Tia. Her legs, which she had intended to keep together, were forcibly spread apart by Tia’s knee. Despite the resistance from Chloe’s thighs, Tia’s knee slowly advanced upward, eventually pressing against her inner thigh.

“Mmh…”

Chloe felt her entire body constrained, like a small insect ensnared in a spiderweb, utterly unable to move. To make matters worse, Tia’s knee showed no sign of stopping. Pressing against the soft flesh, it continued to exert upward pressure.

“Mmm~ Ah~”

Chloe’s entire body felt numb. Bent at the waist, her pliant hands braced against Tia’s thigh behind her knee, barely maintaining her balance. Her feet were already lifted off the ground; owing to their height difference, Tia needed only to rise slightly on her tiptoes to press Chloe’s entire body against the door. All her weight was supported by that small area of contact, creating immense pressure, especially as that particular area was certainly not meant for support.

Just as Chloe began to feel a certain spot aching from the insistent pressure, Tia’s knee suddenly started to move rhythmically up and down, causing that sensitive area to be repeatedly bumped.

“Ugh! N-no! Ah!”

Chloe’s mind grew hazy, her brain incessantly receiving signals from that particular part of her body, simultaneously secreting pleasure-inducing substances to alleviate the pain. Her small mouth involuntarily parted slightly, captivating like a pink cherry. Her unbound golden hair, swaying with the rhythmic movements of her body, danced like a cascade of golden fringe, shimmering brilliantly against the white frosted glass background.

Tia gazed at the girl’s dazed golden eyes, a satisfied smile gracing her lips. She leaned her mouth close to Chloe’s ear, her red lips parting slightly as her warm breath fogged the glass behind them, leaving small patches of mist.

“It feels good, doesn’t it? But even if it feels good, you can’t make too much noise, can you? You wouldn’t want your classmate to know you’re doing something like this just a few meters away from her, would you?”

“Mmh~”

Chloe’s nearly chaotic thoughts instantly sharpened a little. She instinctively clamped her mouth shut, letting out only a faint hum.

Even so, Night Moon’s sharp ears inevitably caught some faint sounds, but she merely assumed Chloe was very anxious to use the restroom.

“Is Chloe in a big hurry? I’m almost done! Just hold on a little longer!”

“Ugh~ Ugh ugh~”

Hearing those words, Chloe grew frantic. She began to twist her body uncooperatively, her hands pushing with all their might to try and dislodge the person pressing against her.

“Oh dear, Chloe’s little classmate is about to come out. What ever shall we do? If Chloe doesn’t hurry up, you’ll be discovered, won’t you?”

Tia’s devilish whispers tormented Chloe’s resolve, and those violet eyes seemed to mock and tease her. Left with no alternative, Chloe could only actively cooperate, focusing on the sensations, hoping that perhaps she could finish before Night Moon emerged.

Ultimately, her efforts were rewarded, much like blades of spring grass, swaying their tender forms with all their might, ultimately calling forth a nourishing spring rain to moisten the earth.

“Not even a minute. What a hasty little fox you are~”

These were the last words Chloe registered before losing consciousness.

Soon after, Night Moon emerged from the restroom and stepped with a soft ‘splash’ into a puddle of water just outside the door.

“Huh, the waterproofing on this door isn’t very good; it’s all leaked out. I should tell Chloe about it.”

Night Moon glanced around the living room but found no sign of Chloe. She inhaled, noting that besides the chamomile fragrance, a cloyingly sweet scent seemed to intermingle in the air, though she couldn’t quite place it.

“Wasn’t Chloe in such a hurry? Where did she go?”

Night Moon wondered, settling onto the sofa.

Before long, Tia suddenly emerged from a room, a wide smile gracing her face, seemingly in excellent spirits.

“Senior Tia, do you know where Chloe went?”

Feigning secrecy, Tia raised a finger to her lips and whispered, “Chloe said she was very tired, so she’s gone back to her room for a nap. If you’d like to go home, I can take you back. If you stay here, it might get a bit dull.”

“Oh, I see. In that case, I’ll head home for now. No need for Senior Tia to see me off.”

“Alright then. Come again next time.”

“Mhm.”

Back in the room, Tia sat quietly by the bed, her gaze soft as she watched the sleeping Chloe.

Chloe’s small face still bore the lingering afterglow of the recent events, flushed crimson like a drunken little animal, and glistening with sweat, her hair matted together in damp strands. Anyone unaware would have thought she had a fever.

“You’re always the cutest when you’re like this. If only you hadn’t caused Yilan’s sacrifice, how wonderful that would be…”

Tia licked her dry lips, then leaned down to peck Chloe lightly on the cheek. Her cotton-soft cheek yielded slightly, then sprang back like jelly. The fine down on her face was dampened by saliva, forming a slightly darker circle.

In her sleep, Chloe’s brows twitched faintly. As if dreaming of something delicious, she licked her lips, letting out a baby-like murmur.

The light in Tia’s eyes dimmed slightly. A surge of self-loathing suddenly welled up in her mind, emotions she had never experienced before. She was astonished to find her heart so utterly peaceful; all her past hatred seemed to have been swept clean. Her fervent desire for the sleeping girl before her momentarily vanished, replaced instead by a tender affection for a younger sister, a feeling she hadn’t experienced since Yilan’s departure.

A powerful sensation compelled her to embrace Chloe.

And so, she did.

Lifting the covers, Tia slipped one arm beneath Chloe’s waist, resting it gently on her stomach, and softly leaned her chin on that warm bundle of golden hair.

“Sleep now~”
