One buys for the other(s)… 6. A swimsuit/underwear/something else 👀

“Did you find something?” Nora asked.

“Yep!” Ruby declared proudly, holding up a shopping bag. “And it’s in her size and everything!”

“Awesome!” Nora said, giving Ruby a kiss on the cheek. “Let’s get up there and have her try it on.” They both then headed up the stairs towards their apartment.

Summer had just begun, and per the norm, Ruby, Nora, and Neo had already been to the beach several times. However, both Ruby and Nora had realized that Neo had been the wearing the same black one-piece swimsuit forever. When asked about it, Neo simply explained that to this day, this was the only bathing suit that ever fit her right. She explained that most swimsuits were either too loose or too restrictive. Ruby had vowed to track down something new for Neo, and today, she felt like she had managed to do just that.

Of course, she had had to make some slight modifications using her sewing skills. Neo was right: finding a swimsuit that would fit her perfectly was pretty much impossible. But now, she hoped her girlfriend would be delighted with her new suit.

Nora and Ruby entered their apartment, and Ruby immediately went down to a knee and raised the shopping bag in the air, pronouncing proudly, “Neo! We come bearing gifts!”

Neo poked her head up from the couch, pausing whatever she had been watching on the TV. She looked at the bag in Ruby’s hands, then signed to her, eyebrows knitted. “What’s that?”

Ruby giggled with excitement. “Why don’t you come and—”

“It’s your new swimsuit!” Nora told her, too excited to let Ruby finish. “Try it on!”

Neo’s eyes widened with surprise, and she hopped over the couch to take the bag from Ruby. “A new swimsuit for me?” She asked, signing with her free hand. “How?”

“I scoured the world for the perfect suit,” Ruby explained, gesturing grandly. “And to you, I have brought the spoils of my voyage.”

“Go try it!” Nora told her, hopping up and down on her toes. “Go go go!”

Neo grinned and nodded, heading to the bathroom to change. She was in there for only a couple minutes before poking her head out from within, looking towards her girlfriends.

“Do you have it on?” Ruby asked. “Does it fit?”

Neo nodded, but still only her head was beyond the doorway. Her cheeks were dusted with pink.

“Then let us see!” Nora said.

Neo let out a apprehensive sigh, then stepped out of the bathroom with her new pink bikini on. The bottoms seemingly fit her perfectly, but the top was...well, it also fit her, but the cups over her chest were a little skimpy.

Nora blushed. “Oh...you kinda fill it out a little too much, huh?”

Ruby groaned. “I thought my modifications would have fixed that.”

Neo smiled and shook her head. “What modifications? You couldn’t make these two tiny triangles any bigger?”

“I tried! But the top and bottoms were sold together, so I had to improvise with the top! I thought if I put in some more elastic, it might make it more stretchy.”

Neo sighed, grinning. “It’s cute! But I feel like it would come off as soon as I’d dive into the water.”

“Which is good, right?” Nora joked, shrugging.

“No!” Ruby yelped. “I can fix it, just gimme a little more time.”

Neo rolled her eyes. “Thank you, Ruby. I honestly like it, but...” Her hands froze mid-sign when she felt a stitch in her top pop. She looked down, and the hem on one side of her top was coming loose.

“Uh oh,” Nora said, holding back laughter.

“Gah!” Ruby cried out, dropping to her knees dramatically. “Curse you, Neo, and your unusual yet attractive body proportions! Curse youuuuu!”
