ź°warningsź± spoilers, probably ooc (itās my first time writing for this lot ā¹/š¹), second person, purposeful lowercase, suggestive
ā ź² ` synopsis . . . nothing more awkward than realising that your entire house has witnessed you lounging freely in your underwear, a flashy robe and or topless? WRONG! itās even more awkward when they start to miss it after youāve began nervously dressing more modestly.
ā ź² ` characters . . . non-realised! amir, betty, freddy, hector, mitchell linn, tyrell, curt & rod + some others for fun
ā ź² ` notes . . . chose some characters that would probably be the most likely to see you and potentially comment on your sudden dressing changes, honestly it was so fun trying to write for this game i might do more if i feel like it :P
summer boils your skin into a warm, molten liquid. clothes stick to you with your sweat as the glue, pants dig uncomfortably into your crotch and your entire body heaves with the needy want for cool. so why havenāt you bothered stripping from the uncomfortably tight long-sleeved shirt and the baggy trousers?
itās because of those damned dateviators!
dating objects around your house and understanding their sentient thoughts, stories and emotions? that was sick as fuck, totally fun and interesting! do you know what wasnāt? having the sudden realisation that all these inanimate objects have watched you laze around the whole house in a way thatās less than appropriate.
weāre talking ass out with a baggy shirt for the bare minimum modesty; occasionally, topless when the AC decides to work good that day; a cozy robe after your bath, showing just the slightest tantalising slope of whatās beneath; and when youāre particularly lazy? just a towel.
there was no way you were going to be doing any of that while holding the frightening knowledge that they can see, and worse, comment on your habits.
because whatās worst than your neighbours catching a glimpse of a naked shoulder? all the objects in your house having front show tickets. to fight that inherent embarrassment, you clung to your clothes like a shieldāwith little thought as to how the others would react to your sudden shift from playboy bunny magazine cover to nun. (spoiler; they hate it!)
āŖā” how could he not? heās your mirror, your confidante, your loverānothing pains him more than seeing less of the form he used to admire so freely especially when itās very evident from the sweat patches pooling where your limbs meet that this sudden dress change has caused you even more discomfort.
āŖā” āazizam, what reason do you have for dressing yourself likeā¦ā his voice cuts off, his captivating grey eyes giving you a completely overt once-over. āwell, thatāin such weather? iām sure i can fit you in something much more suitable.ā
āŖā” heās not one to particularly pry on what you wear because anything you wear is perfection, but part of him really does miss seeing your bare shouldersā¦the gentle curve of your back, the soft fat of your thighsāsimply, some sights shouldnāt be reserved.
āŖā” heās a little more subtle with his pleadingāitās your decision at the end of the day, but if you ask him? he will not shy away from telling you that he really misses getting to look at your bare form, and somehow, when it comes from him? it doesnāt feel demeaning or disrespectful, he looks at you the same way the sun looks at the moon.
āŖā” oh, but if you do decide to go back to wearing so little? rest assured heāll find it impossible to not go on long rants about how gorgeous you look (while sneaking in a few gentlemanly kisses).
āŖā” she sees you every day so she was definitely the first to notice this sudden change in wardrobe, and while normally she wouldnāt commentā¦what do you think youāre doing?
āŖā” itās not the fact that youāve been sweating through your sheets for days now, or the fact youāve kicked off nearly every blanket on the bed due to the excess heat, itās the fact that you donāt even consider letting her cover your naked form!!
āŖā” dress up like a nun all you like baby, but for the love of god take off the sweater and hide under the covers if youāre really that worried she can FEEL you tossing and squirming from overheating.
āŖā” part of her wants you to go back to the free wardrobe for your comfort and another much louder part of her wants you to do so because the silk of your skin feels so much more alluringly sweet than the scruffy fabric of your dusty shirts.
āŖā” then againā¦she has to look at it in the more pleasing way tooāthis way, she can spend hours fantasising about what exactly youāre hiding beneath those clothes. sometimes the chase is better than the reward, no?
āŖā” the fridge is one of the first places you go to during the summer: ice cream, fresh fruit, cubes of ice to slot in whatever drink you need to refresh yourself with and that absolutely lovely immediate cooling from the freezer whenever you open it? pure bliss.
āŖā” so how come it seems like freddy has been āmalfunctioningā more than usual nowadays?
āŖā” āoopāsorry, cool kid, iāll get you another right now!ā as the nth ice cream drops into a splurge of vanilla on the floor, alongside the cumulating puddle now soaking the edge of your sweats.
āŖā” you canāt even count how many times heās told you how he canāt allow you to sit in front of the freezer while youāre waiting for food to cook to āsave energyā (itās totally not because heās patiently waiting for you to take off that cardigan, no way! you know, itās justā¦the energy, yeah!)
āŖā” he doesnāt even do any of this with the intention to creep on you, he just loves and absolutely misses how squishy and adorable you look when youāre lounging on the kitchen counter while waiting for the timer to tick for your chicken nuggets, itās so cute!!
āŖā” yes, maybe the way your thighs press together and the way you lean back to show off a sliver of stomach also gets him antsy but he swears if you donāt want him looking, he wonāt! (but also please let him see something, he promises to keep you real cool if you do).
āŖā” heās too attentive to your every want and need to ever play about with the air conditioning during the summer, but, heād be a massive fool to deny how much he absolutely winces when he watches you walk around the house clothed head to toe with a clear discomfort shadowing your face.
āŖā” the others have certainly attempted to try bribing him into warming the house up solely because they think your new attire is ridiculous. okay, frankly most of them are complaining because they canāt peep a glance at you now, but can you blame them? theyāre so used to you being so languid and free, this shit sucks!
āŖā” his voice is low and gentle when he randomly mumbles: āmy love, is thereā¦are you not feeling overheated in thoseā¦clothes?ā when you mention how weird it feels walking around knowing everyone can actively see and have opinions on youā¦he gets it completely! itās not like he has any right to judge you and allā¦but it doesnāt make him any less sadā¦
āŖā” because to him? youāre so beautiful :( and lovely :( your body is perfect and deserves to be shown without shame :( what do you mean it sounds ironic coming from him? :)) āŖ
āŖā” heās a gentleman, so he wouldnāt dare outwardly comment on your chosen apparelā¦ooh but does he loathe it though.
āŖā” the slick slide of ice cream as it pools down the naked slope of your chest; the way you lick your fingers clean from a melting ice-lolly when it sticks to your skin; the sound of a slurp when you eat watermelon, the fresh juice dripping down your chin: those are some of the delicacies that mitchell wouldnāt trade for even the highest quality truffle.
āŖā” now?? food drops onto your shirt, mingling into the sharp scent of sweat, you curse and gasp every time you ruin another pair of shorts and while he does feel the slightest bit guilty, he does find it simultaneously humorous how each time you hesitate to take your ruined clothes off. those little hesitant flickers of your eyes? his new favourite thing to watch.
āŖā” when you come to him to ask for meals that you could make and or snack on to get rid of the heat he very eagerly wants to tell you: āplease, just change into something shorter.ā but that would be way too distasteful for a man of his calibre.
āŖā” if you do ask him whether he misses it or not, heāll try to sugarcoat it as lightly as possible because honestlyā¦the softness of your skin is so much more tantalising to touch and caress than the sturdy material of a sweater. he wonāt lookā¦too much.
āŖā” NOOOOO!!! PLEASE! this is the one thing he had above most of the othersā¦getting to be fully skin to skin with you, having you trust him enough to wrap around your luscious body to soak up all that warm waterā¦this was unfair (heās not jealous of bathsheba or river for getting to feel your body in its full regardless if you were embarrassed or notā¦he isnāt!)
āŖā” and donāt think he hasnāt noticed you using him much less or at least much more hesitantly!! heās never complained about it before but this was starting to bother him because eating dirt off the floor is so much less fun than getting to dry you from your own sweat.
āŖā” so yes, maybe he has started to discreetly write notes and place them on the towels shaped exactly like your favourite animals just to garner your attentionā¦is it working? :3c please say yes.
āŖā” donāt blame his hand for wandering beneath your shirt to wipe away at the sweat thatās glistening at your navel, heās like a siren to water (quite literally). itās in his nature!
āŖā” āokay, but why though?ā ā ābecause it feels weird knowing all of you can just see my ass 24/7, this isnāt a free show.ā ā ābut why canāt it be.ā thatās basically their entire mindset.
āŖā” honestly theyāre about to crash out, man. theyāre willing to draw close (sorry wyndolyn) to make sure the neighbours canāt see, but come on!! why canāt they?? >:( not even one slither of thigh?? not even an arm?? what is this, the victorian days?
āŖā” just to tease you they will not hesitate to list all their favourite outfits of yours: that very specific set of underwear with the cute cats and whatever shirt you find in the clean pile, a cliche but a goodie is some sweatpants that have seen better, oh and did you know your tummy does this cute thing where it turns squishy? and that your chestāwhat do you mean theyāre making it worse? honesty is the best policy.
āŖā” theyāre one of the few that will actively comment about it when you walk past, because why wouldnāt they? maybe they still hold a little bit of a vendetta when you tugged too hard on the curtain tassels to draw them closed or because the house is 50x more entertaining when youāre giving everyone brain lag from being too fineāeither way; theyāre not gonna be stopping any time soon.
BONUS (āāĢ“Ģį“āĢ“Ģā)
āŖā” telly hates it. genuinely. you used to sit there so cozily on koa, shorts riding up to reveal those creamy thighs, shirt barely covering your stomachāit was great!! it was the one time he could only focus on you instead of the sound of plates shattering in whatever soap opera you picked to watch.
āŖā” honestly everyone in the bathrooms think itās funny. seeing you hurriedly shut the door and take the quickest showers or baths of your life is pretty much better than drama. those little slip ups of skin though? now thatās what they live for. plus, itās quite fun to hear the others complain about how itās unfair that the rest of the house doesnāt get a chance to see your body so intimately any moreāsucks to suck doesnāt it?
āŖā” hank 3 specifically hated this change because your body is nice to look at, why the sudden shift in confidence? ass out, baby!! the others donāt want to pry buuutā¦when you come into the laundry room they do look at each other very excitedly knowing full well they could very easily hide all those long-sleeves and baggy pants of yours (hey, it would make harper very happy too to keep it for a little longer!)
āŖā” dirk just finds it all hilarious. seeing everyone crash out over not seeing some skin basically all because of him? call it trashy, but he revels in the rage.
āŖā” speaking of trash, cam doesnāt careā¦because he can make anything filthy and heās pretty sure you know it too. he kinda adores how annoyed you get when he can make you flustered just by looking at you a bit too sultrily. you think wearing a few too many layers is going to make him forget the curve of your back when you bend over? or the way water and sweat mingle on your skin?
āŖā” mac is gonna create a whole damn word file simply titled āRIP MCāS NUDIST LIFEā to commentate the end of an era. all those days of you taking your shirt off in front of the screen when it gets too hotā¦watching your fingers flex on the mouse and sometime write pure filth while clearly getting a little heatedāthatās worth at least a special digital funeral.
