"Good evening," Tifa replied awkwardly.
Just yesterday morning, she had firmly turned down 2B's bold invitation yet here she was now, sharing a bath with her and Ethan Chen. The heat creeping up her cheeks wasn't just from the steam.
"We're all family here," 2B said with a gentle smile. "There's no need to be shy. You can relax."
As an older sister figure, 2B offered only that brief reassurance. Then, her focus turned wholly to Ethan. She pulled him down to sit beneath the shower, the warm water cascading over them both.
"Let me wash your hair and back."
"Appreciate it," Ethan murmured.
"No need for thanks."
With deft fingers, 2B massaged shampoo into his hair, her touch soft yet deliberate. She moved with practiced care rinsing, scrubbing, and trailing lather down his back, using her own body to apply gentle pressure. The sensation of her form pressing against him made Ethan let out a relaxed sigh.
His posture straightened subtly.
2B glanced over her shoulder at Tifa, who stood clutching a towel to her chest, arms folded beneath her generous curves, uncertain what to do with herself.
"Why don't you try?" 2B offered.
"M-me?"
"Mhm."
Without waiting, 2B turned the spray on Tifa, soaking her skin and leaving her glistening. She lathered Tifa's body with a careful hand, focusing on her chest, whose softness and volume clearly surprised her.
"Wow," 2B blinked, momentarily caught off guard. "Even more impressive than Hina's."
"Hina?" Tifa echoed, wincing as 2B's fingers pressed too firmly. "Who's that?"
"A Navy officer who once helped us. She's a good person," 2B replied matter-of-factly, still testing the weight in her hands. "We shared… similar moments with her."
Tifa's expression darkened. "You mean... you did this kind of thing with her too?"
"It was part of the cost," 2B said simply.
Tifa blinked, then turned to Ethan with disbelief. "And that's not… selling yourself?"
Ethan coughed lightly, catching her eyes. "Don't take her words so literally. 2B doesn't always get the nuances. There were real feelings involved."
He meant it. His affection was broad, yes, but sincere. Hina was beautiful, confident, and strong and he'd been drawn to her from the beginning. If anything, what happened between them had only deepened that bond.
"Really?" Tifa asked softly.
"I swear," he nodded.
Still unsure, she tried to focus on the task at hand. But 2B had grown bolder. Her hands had become mouths, trailing kisses where fingers once pressed. Tifa flushed as she felt 2B's lips on her skin, teasing places that made her heart race.
"Why… isn't anything coming out?" 2B asked curiously, touching Tifa's chest again. "My pod said humans produce milk here."
"That's only after giving birth!" Tifa pushed her away, flustered.
She stepped behind Ethan, letting her hands glide over his back, nervous but eager to contribute. Foam and warmth danced between them.
"Is this okay?" she asked.
"A little firmer," Ethan replied, voice low. "Let your weight fall into it."
Tifa obeyed, pressing her body against him more fully. The contact sent warmth fluttering through her chest.
Meanwhile, 2B had dropped to her knees in front of him, cradling his hips, lavishing her attention with near-devotional care. Her touch was measured, skilled, and utterly unhurried.
Ethan's breath caught.
He tilted his head back and exhaled slowly. Heaven, if it existed, might feel something like this.
2B looked up and caught Tifa's gaze across Ethan's shoulder. She smiled mischievously, and with a daring glint in her eye, leaned in and kissed Tifa pulling her into the moment.
It wasn't their first kiss, but this time it was slower, deeper, more electric. Tifa resisted only briefly before melting into it. Their tongues touched. When they finally broke apart, Tifa quickly swallowed what had passed between them and turned away, cheeks aflame.
"Don't forget to rinse," Ethan teased, placing a playful smack on both of their generous curves before stepping toward the bath.
