Work Text
Megumi sighs, putting down yet another stack of papers on Soma’s desk that she’d just finished. Being a member of the Ten was exciting, but also meant a lot of paperwork. Technically, most of that responsibility rested on Soma’s shoulders, but as his best friend and being who she was, Megumi always pitched in a helping hand. Besides, she didn’t mind it, and with all the food wars he’d been challenged to he always had a full schedule. The door opened and she looked over, curious who it could be, knowing Soma was still in the middle of his food war. Erina walked in, carrying a few folders under her arm. “Ah, Megumi, how are you doing today?” The new Totsuki director asked with a smile when she spotted her. Ever since the regimental food war, Megumi had been surprised that Erina had remained friendly with the members of her dorm, as well as the members of the Ten. While she was still her usual bossy self, and still held plenty of snark, the hospitality chef had noticed she smiled more, laughed more, and overall seemed more at ease. “Oh! Hello Erina, I’m doing well, how about you?” She replies, returning the smile. Erina holds up the folders “Just dropping these off for Soma to look over so I can finally go relax. Being Director is a lot of work, even more so than being on the Ten, and I don’t think I ever gave my grandfather enough credit for it.” Megumi studied the other girl for a moment and noticed the slight droop in her shoulders. The ice queen, as many still called her, always carried herself with grace and poise, and never gave away how tired she was. But Megumi had a keen sense about that kind of thing and had noticed it right away Plus, if Erina was admitting she needed to relax, she was Really tired. “I-if you’d like, I know a very nice private bath house not far from here that I could show you, they have an amazing ramen that even chef Magishima commented on, and some excellent cheesecake” Megumi offered, wanting to help her friend (kinda sorta she hoped Erina thought they were friends too) relax. Erina raised an eyebrow at her and the blue-haired girl panicked, putting her hands up “I mean of course you don’t have to it was just a suggestion and I’m sure you don’t want to spend your night off with me and you already had plans and I didn’t mean to ruin them I’m sorry!” Erina just smiles, shaking her head “That’d be lovely, Megumi.”00000000After stopping to pick up new clothes and such for both of them, Erina calls for a car to take them, which Megumi appreciates after spending most of the day on her feet. The short ride is spent in comfortable silence, and soon they arrive at the bath house. It’s an older style, with a private bath outside each room. They order room service first, idly chatting about their days, new recipes, Erina listening with surprising intent to Megumi talk about her family. The ramen is indeed just as good as Megumi had hoped, with even Erina complimenting it. They save the cheesecake for after their bath and head out onto the private patio, stripping down and carefully scrubbing off. The soap provided by the bath house smells of sweet magnolias and is quite relaxing. Megumi is slowly working her braids out, washing her hair clean. She glances over at Erina and notices a frown on her face.“Is everything ok, Erina?” She asks, sitting up straighter on the stool. Erina sighs “Oh I just have a stubborn knot in my hair that isn’t coming out and I can’t get it.” “Would you like some help? My hair tangles up all the time, so I know how hard it can be” she offers timidly. Erina considers for a moment and nods “Very well, thank you Megumi.” She sits up straight and Megumi walks behind her, using her fingers and some of the conditioner to slowly work the knots from Erina’s soft, silky blonde hair. She can feel the other girl relaxing under her touch and smiles, feeling pleased that she can help her friend reduce stress. Once finished, she helps her knot her hair up and does the same with her own, both stepping into the warm bath with matching relieved sighs. “Ohhh this feels like heaven. Thank you, Megumi” Erina says honestly, smile soft, eyes closed and face relaxed. Megumi beams at her “You’re welcome! I’m glad you like it.” Erina hums in agreement “We should come here again someday.”Megumi nods “And we can bring Hisako next time if you’d like.”Erina nods “I’d like that. She deserves a break.” Her face slowly falls “She puts up with so much from me, and I never am going to be able to fully repay her.” Alarm shoots through Megumi when the blonde’s lip wobbles, tears begin to slip down her cheeks, and soon she’s shaking with silent crying, hands covering her face. “Erina…” She gently lays a hand on her shoulder, her voice full of sympathy “It’s ok, I’m sure Hisako knows how much you appreciate her. And if you really are that worried, it’s okay to just, tell her, ya know? But I know she’d understand. She really cares about you.”Erina sniffles and scrubs at her eyes “I’m sorry Megumi, I’m not trying to be a crybaby, you gave me such a nice time here and I’m shoving all my problems onto you.”The blue-haired girl shakes her head and smiles “No, Erina, it’s ok, sometimes my Mama says part of relieving stress is having a good cry. Pent up emotions need out too, whether they’re sadness, anger, or even happiness! I’m happy that you trust me enough to tell me! So please don’t feel bad.” Erina gives her a watery smile “Thanks, Megumi. I guess I’m still learning how other people do things, like dealing with emotions and such. And I’m still figuring out how to relax and feel happy.”Megumi hesitates “Well, we could also try how Yuki and Ryoko, and sometimes them with me, relieve stress, if you’d like. It’d give you something to test out with Hisako, and it’s good fun between friends.” Erina perks up, looking curious “Oh yea? How’s that go? I’d love to.”“It’s basically a combination of massage and aiding each other with masturbation” she explains, hesitantly, hoping Erina isn’t too weirded out. Erina blinks at her, putting her hand to her chin and looking thoughtful. “Well, I suppose that probably would relieve a good amount of tension, and the release of endorphins can help strengthen bonds of friendship. And since none of us are in relationships currently it poses no harm as a casual form of stress relief.” She looks up at her and nods “Ok, let’s try it.” Megumi smiles at her “Okay! Don’t worry, I’ll make sure that it’s really good for you, I’ll give just as much effort as I do for my cooking!” She scoots closer to the blonde chef on the stony bench and directs Erina to turn to face the wall. She starts to massage her shoulders, the warm water and sweet scent of magnolia enhancing the experience. Erina closes her eyes, groaning as the stiff muscles in her neck and shoulders are slowly worked loose. Megumi slowly works lower, doing her back and hips as well, focusing on each spot until all the tension is loosened, every so often allowing her fingers to drift forward, tracing lightly over the soft skin of Erina’s belly and chest, leaving goosebumps behind. She leans forward, leaving gentle kisses up Erina’s neck and down between her shoulder blades, keeping them light and feathery, just enough to tease. “Mmm that feels, very nice” Erina breathes out softly, and Megumi can feel the shiver that runs up her back as she works the tension from her hips. Slowly, she moves forward, massaging Erina’s thighs, earning a small gasp when her fingers dance close to the heat she can feel growing. She goes no closer though, focusing on stiff muscles and turning her friend into a pile of goo under her hands. Erina whimpers when she comes back up, kneading her thumbs into the sore spots right on her plump backside, humming softly. She dips her head down to start kissing her again, this time kissing across her shoulders, making her gasp softly.“Ohhh Megumi, please…” She whispers.Megumi pulls back but doesn’t stop massaging “Is everything ok Erina?” she asks, wanting to make sure she’s not overwhelming her. Erina looks over her shoulder, her eyes half-lidded, biting her lip “I’m ok, just… it’s too much and not enough at the same time, you know what I mean? Like when you have a dish that tastes amazing, but it doesn’t fill you up and leaves you still hungry and wanting to eat more.” Megumi giggles “Uh huh! It’s nice in a way though, because it leaves you more satisfied in the end!” She rubs up and down Erina’s back, her hands making slow sweeps over her belly and right under her breasts, making Erina pant softly, bracing her hands against the wall of the bath, a faint tremor in her legs. Megumi continues a bit longer before instructing Erina to turn and face her. The other chef does so, looking almost pleadingly at her. Megumi gives her s gentle smile “You trust me, right?” Erina nods shakily. Megumi pulls her leg up and kisses her foot, making Erina squeak. “Then trust that this will be Totally worth it!” She can see Erina slowly relaxing, and her smile brightens as she starts to work on massaging her leg, once again going very close to her core every time, building the anticipation. Erina leans back and closes her eyes, lips parted, panting quietly. Megumi’s strong fingers work over her soft, smooth skin like kneading bread dough, the water warm and lulling her to a state of idle bliss, the tingle of anticipation too much to fall asleep, but still quite relaxing. Megumi works until she sees the other girl is relaxed completely, slowly moving her hands along Erina’s inner thighs and brushing them over her smooth petals. Erina moans softly but doesn’t open her eyes, biting her lip. Megumi slips a finger inside, curling it inside Erina’s wet, silky heat, and pumping languidly. With her other hand, she uses her thumb to carefully rub circles over that sweet little nub, just enough to send pleasant jolts but not enough to overwhelm yet, making the blonde squirm a little, letting out quiet noises every so often. She adds a second finger after some time has passed, making Erina gasp, eyes snapping opening, her hips lightly bucking “Oh! Mmph, that feels so good, Megumi” She moans, the water lapping at her body as she rocks her hips. Megumi leans in and kisses her softly, marveling at how plush her lips are, tasting like the spicy ramen from earlier. Her tongue skirts over her lips, requesting entrance. Erina’s sweet lips part, allowing Megumi to explore her mouth, both girls moaning softly into each other’s mouths. Megumi moves the hand on her clit up to her gorgeous breasts, finally giving them attention, stroking and cupping them, lightly pinching and tugging on her nipples, making her practically weep with need. Megumi slowly moves back, a thin string of saliva connecting their kiss swollen lips. She leans down and kisses all over her cleavage and shoulders, her fingers never stopping, keeping a constant rhythm. She can feel the walls around her fingers quivering, getting close to completion. She keeps it up, kissing and stroking and drowning Erina in pleasure, the blonde’s cheeks getting red, her eyes getting hazy. “Megumi, I-I’m so close” she whispers, her body trembling. “Then let yourself go” she tells her with a reassuring smile, kissing up her neck. Erina shudders, gasps, and falls apart at the seams, cumming with a sob, her velvety walls convulsing around Megumi’s fingers. Megumi continues to stroke her through her orgasm, bringing her down slowly from her high and withdrawing her hand. She draws the other girl into a hug, letting her finish crying herself out. Erina leans into her, kissing her neck. “That was amazing Megumi, thank you. I really needed that” she tells her honestly, looking sleepy. Megumi giggles “How about that cheesecake?”The two get out and dry off, getting dressed and polishing off the cheesecake. Erina leans against her, yawning “We’re doing this again next week, and we’re bringing Hisako.” Megumi smiles “Deal.”
