Lunchtime altercation

Ayano stared in dismay as what would've been her lunch lay scattered on the cafeteria's floor. Behind her, a trio of girls cackled obnoxiously.

'I don't need this today. It was just an accident... Just an accident. Haruko bumped into me on accident, and that made me spill my tray... That's all that happened.'

But regardless of what had happened, it didn't change the fact that Ayano was now left with no lunch to eat. And her grumbling belly reminded her quite loudly that skipping lunch today would not be tolerated.

But she'd already spent her lunch money! She didn't have any more funds for the day available...

Well, she did have the money she'd set aside for the ultra-deluxe special edition of Beast Hunter...

NO! That was unacceptable! There was no way she was dipping into those funds! She'd been waiting for this release for literal years and blowing some of her precious spending money here, right at the finish line, would mean she wouldn't have enough to buy the game later in the day!

Ohhh... but her stomach was practically eating itself! What was she going to do? She'd been in such a rush that morning to make it to school on time that she'd only grabbed a slice of toast...

That wasn't enough for any average highschooler to go off of, and as a demi-human, she already needed more calories than the average girl her age...

"Here, want this?"

Huh?

--------------------

You did your best not to let your nervousness show through what you hoped was a confident smile. Ayano looked pretty miserable, huddled up all on her own in one of the far corners of the large cafeteria.

You'd seen those bullies knock her off balance, but you hadn't said anything about it, or stepped in. As much as it burned inside, you remembered from the Ayano scenarios from the game that she really didn't like people butting into her life. She appreciated support, but if you pried to much or pushed too much on touchy subjects she'd clam up and you'd lose points with her.

So here you were, trying a different approach.

Rather than actively intervening with the girls who were clearly bullying Ayano, you'd see if you could help her out in other ways. Case in point...

"Here, want this?" You stated, sitting down and pushing the tray of food you'd been carrying over to her. Ayano stared at you, expression not quite shocked, but definitely surprised.

It honestly made you feel a little sad that this was likely the first time anyone had offered to sit with her at lunch. Opening up your bag, you retrieved a couple of wrapped packages- those flavored bread things that were so popular in Japan- and began munching on one.

Huh. Interesting taste- not the kind of thing you'd find in the US, but you could see why they were popular here. Looking over to your right, you saw that Ayano hadn't touched the lunch you'd passed her way, and that her eyes were flickering between it and you with a somewhat wary expression on her face.

"Why?"

Well, at least she wasn't blowing you off immediately.

"Because you looked hungry. Do I need another reason?"

"We've been sitting next to each other for two months, ever since classes started this year, and you've barely ever said anything to me. Why're you getting close to me now?"

"Maybe I want to get to know you better. Maybe I'm tired of eating lunch on my own. Or maybe it's for no reason other than that I saw a hungry girl with no food sitting on her own, while I had extra. Honestly, if you don't eat that it's just going to waste, I already have my own food here. Not really sure why I bought a school lunch today in the first place, but if you eat it at least it'll mean that I didn't waste my money."

Ayano opened her mouth, but you'd never know if she was refuting your statement or not. A loud rumble emanated up from her stomach, loud enough that even you could hear it. The short, mousy girl's cheeks turned a faint pink, and she turned her head away.

"...Thanks."

Ayano didn't use any other words, and she rapidly began tucking into the food.

--------------------

'Mmmm... so good *munch* Or maybe *crunch* I'm just *munch* so hungry *gulp* And... he even got *munch* a demi-human portion instead of a regular lunch.' Ayano thought to herself, practically inhaling the food in front of her. She knew that eating now, after losing time due to spilling her lunch earlier meant she'd not have time to visit the infirmary to 'tend to her needs,' but... she needed the food! If it came down to sating her hunger or draining her boobs, she'd sate her hunger every time.

Still...

*throbbing*

Ooh... she was really, really full- and that wasn't her stomach she was referring to! Ayano could feel the unspent milk continuing to build and build, and... she wasn't sure if she could hold it in until the end of the school day! But... what was she supposed to do, raise her hand during class and ask to be excused?

As a girl, asking to be excused during class was embarrassing enough- but for her, a demi-human to do so? Everyone in school knew that when a demi-human girl asked to step out during class, it was because she was having a milk-related problem. Literally everyone!

Those girls from earlier... they didn't bully her- no, she was just a little clumsy sometimes, but... if they found out she'd let her boobs get so backed up, Ayano just knew something bad would happen to her!

Which meant she'd just have to sit tight and put up with it, silently holding in the building flood of milk throughout the day.

And it wasn't like she could just go straight home and drain herself- she had to take the train to Akiba to get her special-edition game!

Today was going to be long and painful...

But... looking to her side, Ayano saw Shujin Kou still sitting next to her, absentmindedly finishing off his melon bread.

Having someone sit next to her was... new. But... she wouldn't lie, it felt... kind of good. And not good in an 'I stayed up all night and finally finished that raid boss' or 'that 1 in 256 spawn-rate enemy finally showed up' but good in a different sense. A sense she didn't know how to put into words.

And the fact that he'd gotten her a free lunch was nice too.

*throb* *throb*

"Oww..."

Oh crap! She hadn't stifled that groan! Covering her mouth with one hand, Ayano looked to her side.

Sure enough, Shujin was looking at her, a worried look on his face.

"Wow, do you still have that headache from earlier? That's not good. Do you need to go to the infirmary?"

"NO! I mean, no... Besides, it's not a headache..."

Oops. Ayano stiffened, realizing that she might've just slipped up there and let Shujin know what was going on.

It didn't exactly take much for her classmates to put two and two together. Apparently, a few years back some unpopular girl had tried to artificially inflate her breasts by deliberately letting them fill up... The girl in question had made it barely more than three days before collapsing in the middle of class.

Sure, her breasts had gotten bigger, but she'd ended up humiliating herself at school (most of the class had gotten a good look at her chest when her blouse inevitably burst open, and the poor girl had even started leaking milk onto the classroom floor!)

The student in question had been subjected to so much ridicule from her peers after that point that she'd been forced to transfer schools.

So, long story short- Ayano very much wanted to avoid any similar experiences. She was quite happy staying in the back of the classroom and being left to her own devices.

"Um... I mean... it's..."

God, what did she say at a time like this? Sorry, my boobs are killing me? Be right back, gotta go milk myself? Yeah right, she'd have to be crazy to say something like that in public! And to a boy no less! Guys her age were all horndogs under the surface- and demi-humans like her got the worst of it- they were practically built as fetish-magnets!

But strangely... Shujin didn't conform to her expectations at all. For someone who was normally loud, almost goofy during class... his cheeks flushed a little bit as he finished connecting the dots... but instead of his eyes dropping right to her bloated chest, he looked away from her!

"Ah... sorry. Just, uh... forget I said anything..."

He stood up to leave, clearly feeling too awkward to remain. Something in Ayano's heart and brain lurched. Reaching out, she tugged on his sleeve as he passed.

"Um... thanks again for the food. That was... really nice of you."

*throb*

"Mmmg..."

Shujin's cheeks tinted pink (again) as another pained whimper slipped out of her.

"Please, uh... please don't take this the wrong way, but... do you need to go to the infirmary?"

Ayano closed her eyes and exhaled through her nose. Yes, she really was about to talk about this to a boy.

"No, there's no time. I'll just... put up with it for now. Once I get home from Akiba tonight I'll... take care of things. Please, don't press any further..." Ayano said, voice barely more than a whisper.

Oh, this was so embarrassing...

*squeeze*

And it wasn't enough that her boobs hurt, but her blouse was feeling noticeably tighter than it had last Friday! Her school outfit was already tight-fitting on a normal day- her buxom, curvy physique coupled with her short frame meant getting clothes that fit her was pretty difficult- and even though her buttons were normally pretty tight, she knew that her slightly-swollen boobs were putting even more pressure on them!

'I just want this day to be over... I just have to get through school, make it to Akiba, and then I can go home and drain myself...'


---------------------
What happens next?

1) Ayano squeaks in embarrassment as a single button pops off her blouse, giving you a peek at her bra!
2) The bullies from before come back!
