"Yuki-Nii's squirming again... but why?" Asahi whispered conspiratorially, tilting his head toward Aiko as the bath bubbles drifted lazily in the humid air.
Aiko, who was lounging with a mischievous sparkle in her golden eyes, gave him a secretive grin. She tilted her head just slightly toward the tub where Shin and Ai were still very much... occupied with Yuki. "Don't worry about that," she cooed. "What you should be worried about is how adorable you are right now."
"Huh?" Asahi blinked, confused, his cheeks blooming pink.
With a sudden swoop of movement that made water splash and swirl, Aiko pulled the little one into her lap, spinning him around so his back faced the action. She shifted slightly in the water, knees raised to keep him securely nestled against her chest, and with a playful smirk, she dunked his face straight into the softness of her breasts.
"EEP!?" Asahi squeaked, flailing slightly, arms rising on instinct—and landing directly onto her breasts for support. His small hands squeezed in reflex. "A-Amu-Chan!! I can't—can't breathe!"
Aiko giggled devilishly, hugging him tighter. "You're fine~ It's the best pillow in the world, and it's all yours right now. You don't want to see what's going on behind you anyway. Trust me."
Asahi's muffled voice struggled through the valley of her cleavage. "But—but it's really soft... and warm… and jiggly... I mean, REALLY jiggly...!"
Aiko leaned down, her voice purring right next to his ear. "You like it?"
Asahi whimpered, hands still clutching onto her, clearly unsure what to do with himself. "I-I do! You're like a super squishy goddess!"
She laughed and nuzzled her cheek against his white hair. "Then marry me already. You can have these all to yourself."
"EH!?" Asahi's entire body stiffened, but his hands didn't let go. "Y-you're joking again!!"
"Maybe~" she sang sweetly, then gave his temple a gentle kiss. "But if you're that in love with my boobs, it's only fair."
His face was fully red now, hidden against her chest like a guilty kitten. He muttered something incoherent, his voice lost in her skin.
She smiled wickedly. "You're ridiculously adorable, Asahi. So soft and tiny and squeezable. I know I'm Shin's girlfriend too, and he's having fun over there, but... right now, you're all I care about."
Asahi peeked up slightly, his nose still smushed into her chest. "R-really...? Even though you're in love with Onii-Chan...?"
"Mhm," she purred, brushing his wet bangs aside. "But you're just as special in a totally different way. I could eat you up."
"D-don't eat me!!"
She laughed, then suddenly leaned closer, whispering like a co-conspirator. "Wanna do something fun?"
Asahi blinked. "Fun?"
"Let's mess with Yuki. He gets soooo flustered. You saw how red his ears were, right?"
Asahi giggled. "Yeah! Like a tomato!"
"Let's make him cuter," Aiko grinned. "Like... super cute. We'll turn him into a blushing little bunny boy."
Asahi tilted his head. "How?"
"Dress him up! We'll get him a maid outfit. Or maybe a frilly pink dress. Or—oh, oh—a magical girl costume!"
Asahi gasped. "With sparkles and a tiara?"
"YES! And a fluffy tail!" Aiko added with a wicked twinkle.
Asahi started giggling uncontrollably, still cradled against her. "He'll scream soooo loud! But—but what if he runs away?"
"He won't. He secretly likes it. His tsundere act is so obvious. Besides..." She leaned down to nuzzle him again. "We'll bribe him with cuddles and Shin's attention. He'll melt."
"You're evil, Amu-Chan... but I like it!"
"That's my boy~" she praised, booping his nose. "And speaking of dressing up..."
"Huh?"
"You should wear something cute too."
Asahi froze. "M-me?! Why?!"
"Because you'd look ADORABLE. Imagine this: a sailor suit with cat ears. Or a lacy babydoll nightie. Or, ooooh—what about a tiny bunny suit?"
Asahi's mouth dropped open. "W-WHY WOULD I DO THAT?!"
"Because Shin will LOVE it," Aiko teased, giving his ear a playful nibble.
Asahi went rigid. Then slowly, slowly, the color drained back into his cheeks tenfold.
"O-Onii-Chan... would like it...?"
"He'd lose his MIND. I bet he'd cuddle you all night. Maybe even kiss your neck like he does with Ai."
Asahi looked like a kettle about to burst. His hands clenched Aiko's breasts tighter. "O-okay!! I'll do it!! But only if I get the one with the tail!"
Aiko laughed triumphantly. "Done! You'll be our Bunny Boi Number Two. Yuki will be Number One, of course. But you'll be my personal bun-bun."
"C-can I get a collar? Like with a bell?!"
She ruffled his hair. "Absolutely. You can even have one with my name on it."
Asahi was practically glowing with joy. "I'm gonna be the cutest bunny in the whole house!"
"Yes, you will," Aiko giggled. "And Shin won't know what hit him."
"That's my boy! I'll make you into the cutest little trap the world's ever seen! Yuki will be so jealous!"
Asahi flushed even more. "W-What does that mean?!"
She giggled maniacally. "It means Shin might not know if he wants to kiss you or protect you or both. And Yuki'll scream. It'll be perfect."
"Y-You're scary when you get excited..."
"That's love, A-Chan~"
They both laughed.
They sat there like that for a while—Asahi pressed into her softness, beaming, while Aiko traced idle circles on his back, her mind already brimming with plots and outfit designs.
Over in the other corner, muffled sounds of Yuki's protests, Ai's giggles, and Shin's teasing echoed through the steamy air. But neither Aiko nor Asahi looked back.
They were too busy scheming.
Too busy imagining bunny tails, frilly lace, and the look on Yuki's face.
Too lost in each other's company, with Asahi's red face hidden in her cleavage and Aiko's heart caught in a confusing tangle of fondness—for a ridiculous little boy and the man they both adored.
This bath was getting dangerous.
And the chaos was only beginning.
