Transition Ch. 3: ❤︎ Truths

"We've been friends a long time, and I... well... I've always thought you're really hot," Kira stumbled through her words in a somewhat strangled voice, blushing furiously. "Your intelligence, confidence, give-no-fucks attitude. Damn."

We were sitting in chairs at the dining table. My hand holding hers, just helping her relax, and talk things out. I listened intently while tamping down my own reactions. Trying to be there for her. Letting her express herself without worrying about managing my own emotional needs, for now. I could process things later.

She breathed in, then let out a slow sigh. "Didn't think anything of it. We're just great friends, right? I've enjoyed being your wingman, helping you hook up with girls, guys, whatever. And you've had great taste in the men you've sent my way." Kira looked over to me and flashed a happy grin.

Then looked away again, with a thoughtful tone in her voice. "But the past year, I dunno, I think something changed. Long before your, erm, other changes." She glanced at me, then away. She clearly felt more comfortable letting things out without directly looking into my eyes, which was okay. I gently squeezed her hand.

"I... found I..." her voice got real quiet. "I liked hearing about your adventures. A lot." She bit her lower lip. "I wasn't even thinking about being with you, really. Not like that. It doesn't feel like... a crush or something. I don't know how to describe it."

She stumbled over her words as she rushed out, "I like... um, showing off for you. And introducing you to people! Thinking about you, um, being with them. It's... it makes me really happy. Making you happy. You know, helping you be... well......happy?"

"I'm happy!" I said with a reassuring smile, interrupting her for the first time as I sensed her going in circles. "Very much. With you, and with them. Thank you, Kira."

"You're welcome!" She beamed for the first time in our conversation, flashing a wide grin to me. "I just, um, I guess I like to help?"

"I really like your help. With everything. Not just, you know, relationships."

"I know! You thank me all the time. Sometimes too much!" She poked me in the arm and grinned again. "Makes me feel weird when I'm just doing basic stuff any roommates should do, like dishes or vacuuming or whatever."

I shrugged my shoulders. "I appreciate it all, and want to make sure you know that."

"I do. Know that."

"I'm glad," I added with a warm smile.

"Was..." she hesitated, looking away again.

Kira shifted a little in the chair. "Um. If I can ask... was it good with Lily?" I saw the blush rise in her cheeks again.

"Very! She's amazing. Thank you for introducing us." I squeezed her hand with genuine enthusiasm.

"You're welcome!" She looked down at our hands. "I know it had... been a while for you."

"Yeah."

"Could you... um..."

"Tell you about it?"

"Yeah. If you want! No pressure though," she said hastily.

"Like I've done before?"

She nodded silently and bit her lip. I could tell she was getting flustered. I didn't want to push, but did feel some things needed to be said.

"Like when you've gone to your room before?" She looked away. I gently touched her cheek, encouraging her to look back at me. "It's okay. I'm not upset with you. Can I give you a hug?"

"Please!"

We embraced, and I held her a long while. After many minutes I got up and retrieved a box of tissues, then gave one to her.

"Thank you," she said while patting at her tears with the tissue. "I... I was so, afraid... I was worried you... would..."

"Hey." I got her attention again. "I'm still here. I'm not angry or embarrassed about this." Maybe I was a little embarrassed, but not in a way she should be ashamed about. "You feel what you feel, nothing wrong with that. I'm glad you're telling me now. Thank you."

"I wish I had told you sooner," she said quietly while setting the tissue on the table, visibly trying to regain her composure. I offered her another hug, which she accepted with sigh of relief.

"It's okay," I whispered past her ear. "I get it. It was hard for me to bring this up with you, too. I was surprised to realize these things, and, well, a little excited if I'm honest."

"Really?" Kira pulled away from the hug and looked at me hopefully.

"Yeah. Especially the toys you got recently... damn girl. So hot!" I grinned.

"It's... uh, it's been pretty wild, huh?" she said hesitantly, with a little more confidence than before.

"Yeah. That first day with the one for me... or seeing the one you got, in the shower... were you, um, using it with Julien yesterday?"

She bit her lip and nodded.

I took a risk, leaned forward and whispered, "I really liked that."

She beamed at me, so bashful and happy like a puppy finally free of fear. I felt bad that she'd repressed this so long. Had I shut her out somehow? I certainly missed signs of her interest.

"Do you want to," I asked, pausing a moment. "Go on dates or something?"

"I'm not sure. Maybe? Eventually?" Kira took a deep breath, before letting it out again.

"It's confusing," she continued, "And I'm still figuring it all out. I like doing things for you, and enjoy seeing you with other people."

She took another breath to steady herself. "Sometimes I think about... us, together, but I mostly just like, helping out, you know? I think I still want to, mainly, be your friend. Just... more, somehow? But not really a girlfriend. And definitely not exclusive or anything; we're both so poly. Does that make any sense?" She looked lost.

"I think I understand," I replied thoughtfully.

I'd had a boyfriend a while ago who expressed similar feelings. He liked watching me with other girls, and I fucked him a few times, but it was more like friends-with-benefits with a side of... well, not cuckolding, but something like it. No humiliation involved. Just exhibitionism, and sharing experiences together. Something like stag and vixen play, though even that wasn't quite accurate. I suppose there wasn't a label for it. People do tend to get fixated on labels.

Still, I got a sense of what Kira was trying to say. "You don't have to explain more right away. We can talk about this as much as you want, when you want."

"Thank you."

I pivoted back to an earlier topic. "You helped Lily and I a lot," I said while gently stroking Kira's hand. "She was really happy! I'm guessing you could hear her?"

Kira nodded and blushed. I was relieved she had wanted to hear. It was rather inconsiderate of me to force that last night. The changes and new rush of hormones were muddling up my decision making, especially when horny. I had to be more careful.

"Lily hadn't been with anyone in a while either," I said, then caressed her hand. "Would you like me to tell you about it now?"

Kira hesitated a moment, squeezed my hand, then nodded.

There were a lot of things we still hadn't talked about, but that could wait. "I want you to know your desires are okay. I actually find it really exciting! You don't have to hide who you are."

"Thank you," she whispered.

I took her hand and guided her to the sofa, where I laid against the pillows on one end. I sat with my back to the pillows, knees up near my chest. Kira faced away from me, sitting between my legs, leaning back against me with her legs stretched out along the sofa.

"Is this good?" I asked gently.

"Yes," she murmured quietly as she relaxed.

I spoke gently past her ear, "After you and Julien left, Lily and I snuggled a while before getting intimate. Kissing her felt so good, after so long without a partner. Then she got on my lap and things got heavy. I explored her body under her clothes, and I discovered she already knew about my cock."

"Was she... um... turned on?"

"Very much. Her face was flushed, nipples were stiff, and when I felt between her thighs... well, she borrowed some clothes before leaving the next day."

My best friend squirmed in front of me, pressing her legs together, while I talked about my new girlfriend. I focused on not getting aroused. I wasn't sure how long that would last. She felt warm in my arms, her butt between my legs.

"Are you still okay?" I asked tenderly.

"Yes... Navalea, you always make me feel so safe," she purred softly.

"I'm glad." I hesitated a moment, then took another risk. "You don't have to go back to your room this time. You can... do it here."

She looked back at me. "Are you sure? Like I said, I don't think I want to... have sex or anything yet."

"I'm sure. I'm just sharing a story, like I have with you for years." I squeezed her hand reassuringly. "You don't have to conceal how it makes you feel anymore."

"Thank you," she said again and melted a little more into my arms, filling my heart with joy. I felt tears welling up in my eyes.

"If you'd rather wait and have privacy, that's okay too," I added.

"I... think I'm okay. Thank you for asking."

"You're welcome."

She slowly, hesitantly unzipped her jeans. Then she sat up a little, pushing them down around her knees. Kira wore cute pale blue panties that day. A damp spot revealed how she was feeling. I stayed as calm as I could when my friend's barely-covered, adorable bottom scooted up between my legs, pressing to my crotch.

Her hand rested between her thighs, atop her panties.

I steadied myself a moment, then told her how Lily and I went down on each other last night. How excited I was to explore things with a new lover!

Kira's hand started gradually circling against her panties, with her breaths coming slowly, bosom rising and falling below my gaze.

My body did what it does, pressing against her bottom through my shorts. She didn't react, and just kept slowly touching herself.

I told her how I discovered Lily was somewhat submissive. She enjoyed being held down, forced to cum on my cock. Kira bit her lower lip... and slid her hand under her panties.

I took a moment to let that sink in.

My best friend was breathing heavily and rubbing her clit with her fingers, in my lap, while I told her about how I fucked her coworker the previous night. How Lily screamed in pleasure after half an hour of teasing and masturbation.

I was incredibly turned on, even though emotionally it felt very different from other lovers. Closer, deeply intimate, and yet less sexual, less about primal hunger. Just bringing joy to one of my favorite people in the whole world.

Maybe that's what it can be like with some partners?

My relationships tended to be rather shallow, I think. It was difficult to form true connections with people. I suspected it was partially because I was neurodivergent.

I didn't know where things might go with Kira, and didn't want to push, focusing on her decision to keep things as friends for now. While she masturbated to the story of me fucking another woman. Life is complicated sometimes.

She pushed her fingers into her pussy hidden below those panties, pressing in and out, while I watched and described what it felt like to be inside Lily. The feeling of that Korean girl's tight little hairy cunt clenching, squeezing, trembling around me, her body shaking against mine, our tits pressed together as my lover and I reached orgasm in each other's arms.

"I'm... so close," Kir whispered in a husky voice. "I've been close. I just... can't... somehow... unghhh."

"Would you like to stop?"

"NO!" she hastened to say, then stumbled. "No... I mean..."

I sensed her frustration and made an educated guess. "Would you like to get a toy?"

She glanced back at me and blushed furiously. Froze there a moment. Then slowly nodded.

"Go ahead. It's okay. Fingers aren't enough for me either."

Kira hastily rolled out of the sofa, pulled up her jeans, and scampered to her room, returning quickly with a toy in hand. She bit her lower lip and blushed a little as it sank in that she hadn't returned with a vibrator. Only the thick, brown dildo.

"It's okay," I said reassuringly. "I know it... well, I know it looks like me."

She quickly sat back down on the sofa, too embarrassed to say anything right away. She pushed her panties down with her jeans around her ankles. Trapping her feet together while spreading her legs. Damn.

"Julien finds it really hot too," she said abruptly, and rubbed the tip of the fake cock up and down along her neatly-trimmed, pretty little pussylips. "I might use it on him sometime."

I lost my train of thought as I watched that rubbery toy slide along the pussy of a woman I'd known almost all my life.

Kira leaned back against me, slowly pushing just an inch of the thick cock into her tight sex. "It's... almost too much," she gasped out breathlessly. I held her hand, reassuring her as she took a little more inside her. I stared down past her breasts, transfixed, as my best friend shoved a dildo that looked like my cock into her cunt.

I eventually regained enough composure to continue my story.

I told her how I bent my girlfriend over this sofa earlier today. Right over there. While Kira was out getting groceries with her boyfriend. Without much warning, I'd come up behind Lily, pushed her down on the couch, and lifted her skirt. Unzipped my shorts. Then shoved my dick into her tight cunt, fucking her firmly right here on the sofa, hips slapping to Lilly's ass while the cute nerdy woman begged for more. She later told me how much she enjoyed I hadn't asked that time, just taken here when and where I wanted. Forcing my cock inside her.

Kira pumped the dildo eagerly now into her body, rubbing her clit with her other hand, and I could feel her tensing up. A quiet whimper escaped her lips.

I told Kira how I pulled out of Lily's pussy, shoved my cock down her throat, and came with my new lover blissfully gagging on that thick brown dick.

Kira's thighs pressed together. She cried out cutely, shaking on my lap, twitching as her climax crashed over her. I whispered in her ear about how good it felt for Lily to lick and suck my girlcock as I came, taking as much as she could into her throat, choking on another woman's thick shaft. Kira pushed the dildo hard into her pussy and shuddered around it, bucking in my arms.

I waited until she came back down and tugged out the toy, then said tenderly, "Thank you, Kira."

"For... for what?" she gasped out breathlessly.

"For sharing with me."

"Thank you for being so understanding," she breathed out, turned around on my lap and hugged me tight.

I held Kira in my arms, quietly reassuring her for a long time. We relaxed there for half an hour, mostly silent, but occasionally talking about games we enjoyed playing together, and plans for our next run in an RPG.

We were best friends, and always would be, no matter what life threw our way. It was a good thing we had such a strong bond, considering what was coming for us.
