Swimsuit Mishaps

“Manager-san! How do you think this looks on me?!

When you heard these words you sighed as you turned to face Minato Aqua, the airhead idol that you managed for Hololive. You said the purple shirt and skirt she was wearing looked good on her and she let out a small giggle and a blush. She had brought you out for a shopping spree after the long awaited payout from Youtube, spending her super chat money on new clothes, shoes and everything in between. At this point you guessed that the two of you had been to at least a dozen different stores. And you had the luxurious task of carrying most of her bought items, though you were that you were lucky in the case of Aqua, since she wasn’t exactly that large...

“Mouuu, Manager-san! T-There's still one more store I want to see! L-lets go!” whined Aqua as she left the changing room and had returned to her original clothing. The idol had practically dragged you to the sales counter to buy the shirt and skirt before leaving the department store, noticing the clerk giving you a sympathetic look as you passed through the door. Just what was this last store that she wanted to go to soo bad that had filled her with so much energy?! When you asked this however, instead of giving you a direct answer, she just turned her head away from you but you saw the blush on her face intensify. She dragged you by the arm across the sidewalks and streets, receiving strange looks by other pedestrians as you passed them by. You wanted to slow the onion haired girl down and get a proper explanation from her, but you also didn’t want to cause a scene in public with her, so you just went with it. Eventually after all the twists and turns, the two of you were standing outside of what appeared to be… yet another department store. But when you peered through the window, you saw rows of certain clothing... S-Swimsuits?!

“H-Hololive’s going to the beach to film stuff… S-So I wanted to get a nice s-swimsuit!” blurted out Aqua as she pulled you inside the store. Being the only male in the store bought you uncomfortable stares as Aqua went up and down the aisles looking for a swimsuit she wanted. Bikinis, one-piece swimsuits, and everything in between... just the thought of seeing her in any one of them made your head spin. After all that's happened between you both, you couldn’t start to help but see all the more… womanly characteristics… of Aqua. Her slim body, her large breasts, her shapely thighs… she was practically the living definition of a shortstack girl. Ever since when you helped Aqua when she was sick, when she pulled you close to her body and stared at you with those hypnotic purple eyes, you couldn’t shake these dangerous thoughts from your mind. Maybe a part of you didn’t want to...? No! You… You were her manager...you shouldn’t have these thoughts about the one you cared for! But as you had your internal conflict, it was interrupted by Aqua timidly pulling on your sleeve. Looking down, you saw her holding a swimsuit in her hand and a shy look across her face.

“I-I think I like this one… I want to go try it on…” she mumbled in a low voice as she pulled you across the store to the changing room. Before you knew it she had disappeared behind the curtain and was left alone. You awkwardly stood there as you waited for the idol to finish changing. You didn’t know why she insisted for you to come into the store with her. She just wanted to find a nice swimsuit to impress the other Hololive girls, right? She wasn’t going herself in the swimsuit to you… right? Another thing you had noted that she hadn’t had an incident yet that day…

...But of course with Aqua, if there was a will, there was a way.

You heard her make a noise from behind the curtain and the sounds of her frantically moving inside the changing booth. You yelled through the curtain to see if she was alright, but she didn’t seem to hear you as she continued to thrash around and make noises. Seeing that Aqua was in some sort of peril, you moved on instinct to see what was wrong with her. You pulled open the curtains to the changing room to see a strange sight. There Aqua was, dressed in the striped swimsuit… but had somehow caught her legs on her discarded casual clothes she was wearing prior. This caused her to fumble around the small changing room trying to untangle herself from the clothes. But as she turned to see you, Aqua turned a bright red and began thrashing even harder.

“M-M-M-M-M-MANGAER-SAAAAN?!?!?!” Aqua screamed loudly as she began shaking. Your mind blanked as you took in the scene, the image of her exposed body being imprinted in your brain. But as she became more spastic, she eventually tripped forward and slammed straight into your body. Despite her small body, the girl's antics had shocked you so much that you couldn’t prepare for her unintended attack as you fell to the floor with her in your hands. As you hit the ground, you felt her soft breasts press against your chest as your mind tried to comprehend the situation. You could feel your face starting to burn from sheer embarrassment as you continued to hold the girl. When she recovered and looked straight into your eyes, her face turned as red as a tomato and her lips began trembling. Tears formed at the edges of her eyes as she basically jumped off of you and ran straight back into the changing room, squealing all the way. Luckily for both of you no one was in the general area of the incident and when someone rushed over to see what the commotion was, all they saw was you laying on the ground. You explained to the shop clerk that your friend had an ‘accident’ and that the situation was now under control. The clerk gave you a blank look for a second before giving a sigh and mumbled something under her breath before she left. You stood up and decided to wait for Aqua to finish her changing and explain what happened to her.

After a few minutes a fully clothed and fuming Aqua exited the changing room and stormed right past you. You quickly followed her to the counter where she was already paying for the swimsuit, somehow the embarrassment of the situation overcame her fear of strangers. Grabbing the shopping bag with the swimsuit inside it, she quickly went past you and left the store without a word spoken to you. Not wanting to lose her, you quickly ran after her out of the store and caught up with her. You told her to wait and that you wanted to talk about what happened, saying how you were sorry. This seemed to calm her down a bit as she stopped moving and stood still. When you stood in front of her you saw tears running her cheeks and an ashamed look on her face.

“I-Im sorry Manager-san… You didn’t do anything wrong… You opened the curtains to see if I was ok, right?” Aqua quietly said. You gave a nod as you wrapped the girl in your arms and she sobbed. You told her that it was ok and that it was fine for her to be embarrassed, that you should’ve thought before you had opened the curtain and she had done nothing wrong. These words seemed to bring her out of her depressive state and brought a smile to her face as she wiped the tears from her eyes. Seeing that she was fine, you let her go from your grasp and decided now was the best time to end the day's shopping extravaganza. But before that, you decided to tease the onion a little for causing you so much trouble. You turned to her and smiled, telling her that she had looked very cute in her swimsuit. This had the intended effect as she began to sputter and her face flushed red before she gave you a deep pout and ran off ahead of you. You could only chuckle as you watched her retreat out of view, noting that you would need to give her all the things she had bought the next day as you were still carrying them. But that day, when you looked into her eyes and felt her body press against yours, you learned yet another thing about Minato Aqua…

...That you had deep feelings for your dumb idol.
