In the end, there was only one solution. Even if I wasn’t a member of the student council, even if I had my own stuff to take care of, I wanted to help her as much as possible! That way she could finish up sooner, and maybe, finally take a break. The fact that she’d be happy with me for helping her was definitely a bonus too.

Every day, whenever I had a chance, I’d show up at the student council room and help her with whatever she needed, and every day, she’d shower me with praise. It was the perfect feedback loop. I was Kaichou’s little helper, and that made me more happy than anything. I felt closer to her than I ever had before, and spending time with her did great things for my mood too! I started running faster, winning by bigger and bigger margins in my races. If this kept up, then one day I’d definitely be able to run against her and win!

On one particular day, I arrived at the student council room, the same as always. And there was Kaichou, the same as always. Air Groove was out doing who knows what. The two of us were alone. I scampered into the room, excited to help with whatever needed doing. I almost didn’t notice the glint she had in her eyes.

“Good afternoon, Teio.” She was sitting at her desk, smiling as she looked at me. Her voice was calm and measured, confident and strong as always. “You’ve been working awfully hard lately, haven’t you?”

“Only because I want to help you, Kaichou. If you were willing to rest every now and then, I wouldn’t need to work so hard either.” As much as I looked up to her, sometimes I worried about her too.

“So I’ve noticed.” There was still that strange look in her eyes. “In that case, you’ll be quite happy to learn that I have absolutely no responsibilities for the next two hours.”

“I just really think you push yourse- wait, what?”

I must’ve misheard her, right? My brain couldn’t process what she’d just said. She had no responsibilities?? No obligations???? She was taking a break?!?!? I was happy to hear it, ecstatic even, but I just couldn’t wrap my head around the idea.

“For the next two hours, I intend to engage in some minor stress relief. With all your help lately, I can afford that much.” I think I was just standing there, still dumbstruck. “As you well know, my goal has long been to stand as an ideal for all uma musume to strive for. To be a guiding light that can push them to achieve greatness, in whatever form that takes. I hope to encourage all uma musume to be the very best they can be.”

She stood up from her chair, circling around the desk towards me.

“To that end. I cannot show weakness. I cannot show vulnerability. I cannot be anything less than perfect. The only individuals who have witnessed anything but are my trainer, Air Groove, and you, Teio.”  She kept walking, past me to the door. She locked it. “Fully against my will, you have seen me struggle, and yet still you place your faith in me. Still you strive for greatness and dream of surpassing me, and as I have struggled, you… heh… you stepped up, and you did everything you could to help.”

Did she just… even with the bad joke, there was a tension in the room. I felt a sort of pressure from her like I’ve never felt before. She was looking at me in a way I’d never seen her look at anyone. I was nervous.

“For the next two hours, Teio, I have no obligations, and so… I would like to ask you to help me spend that time. I would like for you to join me in some much needed stress relief. I expect we both need it.” She had returned from the door now, and she was stalking towards me. That was the only way I could describe it. Stalking, like a predator creeping towards its prey. I felt warm and tingly and nervous. I squeezed my thighs together without thinking, and her eyes shot to my legs for just a moment, that look in her eyes growing sharper. I backed away, she followed, I bumped into the desk behind me. “You’re a smart girl, Teio. You know what I’m talking about. You’re more than welcome to say no, but… if you don’t, we have the room to ourselves.”

I did. I did know.

I figured it out a while ago.

Or at least, some part of me did, if the state of my panties was anything to go off of.

She came closer.

And closer.

And closer.

She pressed up against me. Something big and warm and hard was brushing against my thighs. I probably would’ve seen it tenting her skirt if I’d been able to take my eyes off her face. I couldn’t move. I couldn’t breathe. All the praise. All the headpats. All the acknowledgement. None of it meant anything compared to this. Compared to what I’d wanted the whole time. How long had she known I felt this way? How long had she felt the same?

She leaned in close, close enough that her breath tickled my ear, and I couldn’t stop it from twitching slightly.

“This is my way of thanking you, Teio.”

With one hand she ripped my panties off.

“My.”

She lifted me onto the desk, and spread my legs wide.

“Little.”

Her skirt was gone. When did she take it off? Her… her uhm… it was as thick as my forearm… and she was lining it up.
