Underwear Ruckus

☀

On the second evening of our newlywed-life, after I came home from university—I taught Rio how to use the washing machine.

“—You put the detergent here, and the fabric conditioner here. After closing the lid, you just have to press here, and done.”

“I see, I got it.” Rio nodded in understanding.

“Are you sure?”

“Of course. Don’t underestimate me like that, I was studying up on how to do the laundry.” She puffed out her chest in full confidence.

Or so she says, after having been taught in housework duties by Hayashida-san, which incorporated cooking, cleaning, laundry, etc. Of course, just because she says so doesn’t mean I should take everything for pure gold.

“I actually wanted to do it along with the cleaning, but I didn’t know how to use this machine. It’s smaller than the one we have at home after all~”

“This one is more than enough for a man living alone, alright.”

To preserve the honor of the old model of a washing machine (Capacity: 5kg), I threw in a comment. On a side note, since Rio didn’t have any university today, she decided to take care of the cleaning, as well as organizing her own luggage. Though strictly speaking, she actually had university classes.

‘It’s fine, it’s fine. The lectures today aren’t that important.’ So she said.

I mean, I don’t particularly care. Everybody has their own distinct university life after all. But, when she showed me her lecture schedule…it looked awfully hollow. It’s like she’s made it a goal to pass university without barely attending it, with the thought of as long as she doesn’t have to repeat a year, it’s all great. Well, I felt bad leaving all the housework to her despite us both being university students, but…Now I’m starting to be swayed a bit.

“Now that I know how the washing machine works, I can take care of it starting tomorrow.”

“Please do. And, just to let you know…I don’t want to see some meta mistake like pouring the entire bottle of detergent in there, okay?”

“I wouldn’t do something like that.”

“Haha, you’re right.”

“Of course. I wouldn’t make the same mistake twice.”

“…Haha.”

So it happened before? Must have, at her own home that is. And, Hayashida-san was forced to clean it all up…My condolences.

“By the way, Haru, are you picky about washing the laundry in a particular way? Like, which detergent to use, or splitting this and that.”

“None. As long as you keep the detergent and conditioner cheap. The clothes I have aren’t expensive enough to need any intensive care, so you do as you feel like. If you have any preferences, I’ll go along with them.”

“Okay~ Understood~”

“And…what about my underwear?”

The laundry in this house obviously includes my own underwear—underwear worn by a man the entire day. If we were an actual couple, then Rio should have no problem touching the underwear of her boyfriend or husband even, but…We’re a fake couple. She is just playing the role of the wife, so I don’t want to force the act of washing my underwear onto her.

“If you dislike it, we can split it up so I can wash my own underwear.”

“I-It’s fine, that just sounds like more work and trouble for you.” Rio showed a slightly flustered reaction.

However, she seemed to have been annoyed at said reaction, as she continued with a strong tone.

“Leaving aside washing it by hand, I just have to throw it into the washing machine, right? It’d be weird of me to become conscious of your underwear like that. Underwear is just some fabric. Cloth, right.”

“…Is that so. Then, please do.”

“Seriously, saying something weird like that out of the blue. Kinda gross.”

“What do you mean gross? I was just trying to be considerate…”

“That way you pay consideration to me is what’s gross. Ahh, yuck. Becoming conscious of something like underwear, you’re like an adolescent child.”

“Ugh…”

“Unlike a certain someone, I’m an adult already. I wouldn’t get flustered because of some men’s underwear. Well, if you’re that embarrassed about it, feel free to wash it yourself~?” She spoke in a victorious tone, and stepped out of the changing room.

Having been left behind, I could only form a fist to deal with the humiliation. However, back then, I still had no idea—That this humiliating underwear battle was only the preface for what was to come.

Early the next morning, since Rio had university in the afternoon, she put on the washing machine early in the day. As I was preparing to head out, she took the dry laundry with her to the hanger standing on the balcony to air it out. Although there were still a few things she got hung up on, she proceeded with everything fairly smoothly.

“…Hm?”

Right before leaving, when I did a final check in the mirror, I spotted something. At the doorstep between bathroom and washing room, rectangular objects were hanging on the hanger to dry, with a towel on it. However, it looked a bit odd to me. It was hanging there as if to trace the clothes hanger’s border. Almost as if to hide what was being dried inside.

Hm? What is going on? This should be normal laundry, so maybe she forgot to take it to the balcony?

“…Can’t help it.”

I didn’t want to point out every single mistake she made, so I decided to bring it to her…But, why would she dry it like that? The wind won’t properly reach what’s inside. I couldn’t help but be curious about it, so I slightly moved the towel to glance inside. And then—I froze up.

“—!”

What I saw below the bath towel was a woman’s underwear. To put it more bluntly, a bra and panties. Black and violet as their base, embroidered with small details—Basically, underwear more on the erotic side of the spectrum.

“………” I was forced to swallow my spit.

This is…Rio’s underwear, right? Was she wearing such grown-up underwear? Also…holy smokes her bra is huge. Is she using this kind of size…? I feel like a small watermelon could fit inside there. Oh right. If it was underwear, it’d make sense for her to hide—

“Kyaaaa!?”

Right at this worst possible timing, Rio appeared in the washing room.

“W-What are you doing here!?” After screaming at me with a face flushed beet red, she frantically recovered the underwear.

Embracing it in an attempt to hide it, Rio gave me a sharp scowl.

“You’re the worst…What are you doing with someone else’s underwear…?”

“Y-You’re wrong! I didn’t do this on purpose! I couldn’t see inside, so I was just curious…”

“That doesn’t mean you need to stare at it like that.”

“I-I wasn’t staring at it, okay!?”

I mean…I was kind of entranced by it for a second. Rio didn’t hide her displeasure, continuing with a fed-up tone.

“I didn’t want to dry my underwear on the balcony, which is why I put it in the drying machine and hung it up here…And put the towel on it to hide it…”

“…S-Sorry.”

“Ahhh, this is the worst. Did you not think about it twice? Whenever a woman is airing out her underwear, doing it like this is common sense, right? I guess you don’t get it~”

“……”

“Well, makes sense. You might be good at studying, but when it comes to things like these, you have no clue~ This is why I hate men with no experience in love. You don’t understand a woman’s heart at all.”

“……”

It felt like Rio was looking down at me in court, which slowly made anger boil up inside of me. I get that I’m the one at fault, but…is there really a need to go that far and insult me? Not to mention that she talks about common sense…but it’s probably something she learned from Hayashida-san again. As if she knows about common sense without ever doing her own laundry before.

Since I was still feeling a bit stressed because of the previous evening’s quarrel we had—

“…Well, sorry about that.” I decided to fight back. “I didn’t think—you’d be that embarrassed because of some underwear.”

“…Huh?”

“That shriek of yours was pretty cute. All that just because a boy saw your drying underwear? It’s almost like—you’re an adolescent girl.”

“Wha…”

“Weren’t you the one who called me gross for being considerate about my underwear? Yet here you are, causing a ruckus.”

“…! M-Men and women are different! Unlike you men, it’s very unpleasant for a woman to have our underwear seen!

“I get that. But…we are married, aren’t we? It might be a fake marriage, but we’re living together, so we indirectly consented to that. Since we live in such a cramped apparent, having our underwear seen is something we can’t avoid, thus agreed upon, right?”

“…W-What about you then? Weren’t you embarrassed to have your own underwear washed by me?”

“Of course. After all—My underwear was used. I felt bad for having you deal with my unhygienic and probably smelly underwear. But right now, we’re talking about me seeing freshly washed underwear, right? Not to mention that I wasn’t even touching it, merely looking at it.”

I knew that my logic was all over the place. It’s just a sophisticated play on words. After all, arguing that me seeing drying underwear was totally fine is just the first step to a sex crime. However, after that exchange yesterday—she doesn’t have any place to argue. Her acting all arrogant is coming back to bite her.

“I thought underwear was just plain cloth?”

“…!?” Rio’s eyes shot wide open, but even as she was scowling at me, no words of objection came out of her mouth.

She probably can’t go back on her own word.

“You said that you weren’t even seeing me as a man, and yet you’re blushing furiously at me seeing your underwear.”

“………”

“I mean, it was my fault this time, clearly. So, I’ll apologize. I’m sorry. I wasn’t considerate enough. Even if you tried to act all calm and collected, at heart you’re still a maiden. I’ll try to be more careful in the future.” I continued. “Anyway, I need to head out.” I left these words behind, and stepped out of the apartment.

Inside my heart, I struck a winning pose. I won. I totally made her eat her own words. That’s what you get for making fun of me. With a refreshed mood, my steps felt light, but…this was, yet again, merely the beginning.

In order to obtain this temporary win, I stepped on a landmine big enough to blow this entire house to smithereens. Tamaki Rio is a woman with pride that won’t allow her to rest easy until she’s paid back the person who made fun of her. In other words, she was terribly childish. And despite me being her childhood friend, I completely forgot about that.

❀

So annoying! W-What is his deal!? How can he act so arrogant after seeing someone else’s underwear!? And his ‘Outsmarted you!’ face…! Gaaah, what a prick! Haru’s always been like this! He uses his wits to talk his way out of the situation, and even if I bring up the argument of feelings, he’ll just ignore it with a ‘Thinking about it logically, that makes no sense’, that damn brat! That’s why nobody but me even bothered to go out with you, you damn stubborn gloomy bastard of a shitty virgin!

Despite him having a handsome face and the right amount of kindness within him, no woman but me caught on this charm, and I’m the only one who knows about his good parts…Wait, no! That’s not important right now. I-I mean…as if underwear is just like any other cloth! I was saying it as a joke in the heat of the moment, so don’t use that argument against me ! Of course I’d become conscious of a man’s underwear right in front of me!

Even today, I was all ‘S-So this is the underwear Haru was wearing…!’, agonizing over his underwear, but I somehow managed to get a hold of myself and properly washed it…and this is what I get!?

…Well, strictly speaking, this is probably a fitting payback for me teasing him about underwear more than necessary when we talked about it yesterday…However! There’s no need to take it that far, is there!? I was just being playful and teasing you a bit! You’re a man, put up with it!

Uuuuu…! This is the worst. Why do I feel like I lost, despite him seeing my own underwear? I’m the victim in this situation, right? Why is he swinging it around against me?

Sheesh…If I had known he would see it, I would have chosen a more adorable design. But, with the size of my chest, they only have that kind of pin-up design…Wait, that’s not important! Anyway.

I can’t allow him to make fun of me despite seeing my underwear…I won’t be done in like that! I’ll pay him back! Pay back this humiliation ten-fold! I’ll definitely make him become conscious of me!

That night—

I took my time in the bath, properly washing every part of my body, and confirmed the last stage of the plan I thought of all day. The simulation in my head—all cear!

“…Alright.” Together with a determined voice, I stepped into the changing room.

I wiped dry my body, and checked my body in the mirror…Yeah, I really have a great body. I don’t mean to praise my own wares, but…I think it’s a very feminine body. Especially the part that probably draws the most attention—my chest. To me, it’s nothing but a bother, but other people seem to be quite jealous of it. Even Hayashida would often say ‘I only need half, so please share some with me’, which I can’t tell how serious she is, or just joking around.

But, it’s fine. The physique and style I have should be attractive to men. That’s why—he should also be interested in it…! If I were to be dressed lightly right after a stimulating bath, he’d definitely be entranced—

“…”

I desperately suppressed any hesitation, and started acting. I put on the underwear I prepared, together with a loose shirt on top. That’s all. I’m not wearing anything above my panties. I didn’t even bring anything else with me, otherwise I might chicken out at the very last moment.

“…Woah.” Looking at myself in the mirror, I was pretty shocked.

Standing there was a woman wearing nothing beneath her shirt. Since the shirt was pretty long, you shouldn’t be able to see my panties, but…it still was pretty dangerous. W-What should I do…this is even more lewd than I expected. Instead of showing them all at once, barely trying to hide them gives it a greater erotic appeal.

Uuu…Maybe I should quit after all…No, I can’t! I can’t step back down! My pride as a woman is on the line! …Not to mention that I don’t have anything else to wear with me, so that’s out of the question.

“…I-I messed.” Making up my mind, I muttered the words I had used in my simulation, and headed to the living room.

Haru sat on the living room sofa, doing something on his phone.

“I only brought a shirt me~”

“A shirt…? ……Wha!?” As Haru reflexively turned towards me, his eyes opened wide in shock.

His face turned beet red, and he averted his face. That’s the reaction I was hoping for.

“Y-You…what are you doing…?”

“I told you, right? I forgot to bring some pants with me, and went to take a bath.”

Fufu, look at him all flustered. He can’t even properly look at me.

“Since I forgot a change of clothes, I can only grab it while looking like this, right? Everybody would do that. You too, wouldn’t you?”

“…Y-You knew that I was here, didn’t you…”

“I sure did. So, what? I told you before, but I don’t feel anything even if you see me like this.”

“……”

“But, I guess it was a biiit too stimulating for you? Fufu, you’re not even looking at my underwear, yet you’re this flustered. How cute.” I spoke confidently, and glanced down at myself—

Yeah, it’s hidden, albeit barely. He won’t be able to see it like that.

“Well, not like I’d care much even if you could see it. It’s just underwear—just some cloth.”

“Urk…” Haru’s expression was distorted in shame and humiliation, and yet he didn’t even look at me.

That being said, he would occasionally sneak glances at my lower half, so he must be interested in it at least. He’s flustered, and embarrassed…Conscious of me as a woman! Ahh, this feels great. I can feel my body overflowing with confidence. How do you like that, Haru? This is what you get for making fun of me!

Feeling satisfied with my revenge, I figured I should at least grab some more clothes now. It felt a bit chilly at my butt. Or rather…what am I doing with my butt in the open? Thinking about this rationally, there’s really no meaning to…No, if I start thinking rationally, I lose. That’s why, I’ll just enjoy this victory for now.

I crossed the living room, and headed towards the bedroom—when it happened.

“…Really now.” Haru’s voice was quivering in embarrassment, but he raised his head. “It’s exactly as you said. Despite me not even seeing your underwear, I was panicking too much. If you’re not bothered by me looking, then I won’t hold back either.” He somewhat regained his calm way of speaking, and turned around on the sofa—to look.

He looked at me, with full intention. He had stopped sneaking glances at me, not even trying to hide his gaze.

“Wha…! W-Wait…!” Showered in this unexpected and passionate gaze, I subconsciously tried to hide my lower body.

I pulled on the hem of my shirt, trying to hide the underwear he shouldn’t be able to see either way. However, that turned out to be a fatal mistake, as Haru let out an arrogant snicker.

“Huh, aren’t you embarrassed right now?”

“…!”

“I thought you were fine with me looking?”

“…I-I did say that, but isn’t it bad manners for a man to stare at a woman who’s looking like this?”

“I was taught to look at the person I’m talking to.”

“…Really now. I’m glad you were raised well, you brat.” I remained calm on the outside, but panicked on the inside.

W-What should I do…I didn’t expect this…To think Haru would throw in a counterattack like this…!

“What’s wrong, Rio? You don’t need to force yourself if you’re embarrassed. Just hurry up and put on some more clothes. Or, should I bring you some?”

Hearing Haru provoke me with a confident tone—I felt the blood rush to my head.

“…Thanks for the offer, but I’m fine.” The hand I had used to pull down my shirt was now running through my hair. “I’m totally fine. Can I stay like this for a while?”

“Feel free. I don’t mind.” Haru sounded slightly agitated, but he kept his eyes glued to me.

Showered with a passionate gaze, I felt my body burning up from the inside, sweat building on my skin. But, I can’t pull back here. After all—Haru should be just as embarrassed as me. He’s trying to keep a stern face, but his head’s been as red as a tomato for a while now. Eventually, he’ll end up mentally exhausted. In other words—the first one to step down will lose!

“Y-Your face is red. Aren’t you forcing yourself?” I grinned.

“…R-Right back at you.”

We both glared at each other, trying to hide our own embarrassment. In order to show how relaxed I was, I tried to cross my arms—but that caused an accident. The hem of the shirt was lifted up, about to reveal my panties.

T-This is bad…But, if I were to fix it now, he’d just find out how embarrassed I am….That being said, keeping it like that is also…Ahh, what should I do, what should I do? Met with this dire situation, I subconsciously took a step back.

“—K-Kya!?” I slipped, and landed on my butt.

“H-Hey, you ok—Ah!” Haru reflexively ran towards me, only to bend backwards.

From that reaction, I realized in just what kind of dangerous posture I ended up as. Because I fell backwards, my legs ended up in a M shape, and since I wasn’t wearing any pants…

“~~~!!” I tried to hide it, but it was already too late.

Haru seemed flustered even more than before, frantically averting his gaze.

“D-Did you see it?”

“…You’re wearing the ones from this morning, huh.”

“~~~~~!!”

He apparently saw it. Waaaah…this is the worst…W-Why did this have to backfire like that…

“Uuu…I can’t become a wife anymore…”

“…You really are one.” A moment of silence passed. “In a fake marriage, that is.”

Haru threw in a lighthearted joke, as he offered me a hand to help me stand up.

On a side note, as for the problem of underwear. Just when I thought Haru was going to make fun of me before he left early the next the morning, he apparently looked into the tips and tricks for a man and women living together, and bought a lingerie porch on his way home from university. It’s useful because I can put my underwear in there, and throw it into the washing machine and drying machine. Not to mention that it’s hard to see inside.

Basically, even when I’m washing and drying my underwear, Haru won’t be able to see it. Here as I was busy coming up with another plan of revenge, Haru apparently gave my convenience some proper thought.

…S-Seriously, it annoys me at how considerate and diligent he is! I really hate that sort of guy!
