Story: HHL Film Project: Photo Session

Here's another story I wrote today for the hell of it. Busy, busy! Continues from here.

The bell above the door rang, and both boys froze before turning to see who had entered the store. Ataru at least felt his pulse race a little bit faster when he saw Lum standing in the doorway and staring at the cute girl in the skimpy orange one piece. Any moment now he’d be shaking off the static aftertaste!

Except no, he wouldn’t. That was the way things used to be. That was the way this would have turned out before now. He took a deep breath and strode right up to Lum, placing an arm around her shoulders. “Just in the nick of time!” he said as Lum leaned into him almost automatically. “Lum, meet Ukyo! She’s the chef of this fine establishment and has been so very generous as to offer her assistance in a promotional photo session! Isn’t that right, Ukyo?”

“Um… Yes?” Ukyo answered a little uncertainly while leaning forward to place tremendous emphasis on her tremendous chest. “It’s a pleasure to meet you, Lum.”

“Pleased to meetcha!” Lum said with a faint smile. Situation: Defused! He could really get used to this! “I’m darling’s future wife. I’m so glad you’ve decided to help him out like this.”

“Oh, it’s not a problem at all,” Ukyo said, leaning over to the side in a way that made quite clear that her curves were a rather perfect example of the female figure. “I’m quite happy to help out.”

Oops, probably best not to let his eyes linger too long! He could feel Lum’s jealousy begin to rise even without having to worry about little sparks of electricity literally appearing between them. No, he was just completely aware of it like a sixth sense. So let’s see if he could bring that bomb down as well while he was at it, hm? A few steps to guide Lum closer to where Ukyo was still striking seemingly random sexy poses, and then with a smile on his face he said the following: “Say, Lum? Why don’t you try posing with Ukyo as well? It would be a real show of cooperation between the schools for two of their hottest - I mean, most beautiful girls to work together like this.”

“Are you sure, darling?” Lum asked, drifting slightly away with her arms behind her head. “I mean, if you were to have to start over again because of me…”

“Not at all! We were only just getting started!” Ataru said reassuringly. “Now then, why don’t you start out by leaning against one another back to back? Turn to the camera, girls!”

Like putty in his hands. Maybe he really would take up a career in directing after school? He seemed to have a bit of a knack for it! The two of them had no trouble taking any pose he requested. Intimate hugs, making it look as though they were about to kiss, making it seem as though one was giving a lapdance to another. And all the while Gosunkugi ran around searching for the best possible angles with a confidence in his expression he had probably never felt before. Ataru smirked. They really were just about ready to do anything, weren’t they?

“Alright then! Let’s try something a little bit different,” Ataru said. “Lum, why don’t you have a go at being director, and I’ll take your place in the pictures?”

“Huh?” Lum said. “Why? I thought you were trying to use a couple of cute girls to draw attention to the movie.”

“Well, that’s just it!” Ataru said, wagging his finger triumphantly. Okay. Let’s see how far he could fly by the very seat of his pants. “After all, directors sell movies just as much as the actors do these days! If I show off my face alongside the actors, then not only would it help my reputation as a filmmaker but it would also help sell the movie to those who already like what I’ve done!” Never mind the fact that Ataru’s reputation was synonymous with bacteria, at the rate things were heading that would probably be very different by this time next year. Maybe even next week.

Indecision clouded Lum’s eyes and she looked between Ataru and Ukyo with a slight frown on her face. “If you’re worried I’ll do anything inappropriate, remember! You’re the director for these photos! Surely you can direct me away from anything you don’t like. Right?”

Well, he said it. And at first the photos were a little like that. Ukyo sitting down on the floor with Ataru standing tall and proud behind her with arms folded in front of his chest. But even though she was technically the director, that didn’t mean he couldn’t field suggestions. Oh, you know the sort! Nothing wrong with them trying out a few poses here and there. Make it look like she’s acting out a scene, and he’s directing it. And if it just so happened that while “directing” the “scene”, he happened to brush a hand against Ukyo’s breast or thigh. Well. Obviously that was an accident.

It took about five minutes before Lum’s jealousy simply dissolved and she was eagerly putting them in more and more risque positions. Why, it was almost as though she was imagining herself in Ukyo’s place without feeling envy for it! Oh, Lum! All that time, you were a great big repressed pervert as well, weren’t you?

“Great work, the both of you,” Ataru said, extracting his hands from Ukyo’s rear and helping her unwrap her legs from his waist. “But you know, you should really both be in these pictures with me. Wouldn’t you agree, Gosunkugi?”

“Hm? Oh, yes! I suppose that does make a little sense.”

Ah, from that tone perhaps some of Lum’s errant jealousy had been absorbed by him. Perhaps Ataru had been hogging a little too much of the fun… Then again, he doubted Gosunkugi would complain too loudly once Ataru got the chance to share his longer term plans with him. For the time being, he guided each girl to press the front of her body against one side of his, laying their hands upon one another’s shoulders while whichever of their legs was more towards his front was lifted and hooked with the other girl’s. Which of course was entirely the purpose behind why his hands were not so subtly squeezing their rear ends. Balance, of course. Nothing more than that.

1. Ataru decides to push them as far as he can.
2. Ataru takes Gosunkugi to the side and gives him instructions.
3. That night, Ataru decides to have sex with Lum. Much to her approval.
4. They recruit more Tomobiki and Furinkan students into the movie.
5. The bell rings, and someone else enters the store.
6. Something else
