Chapter 78 Relaxing Bath - Part 2

The realization hit Number One as soon as Luna spoke and the confirmation came right after when Nami responded in his mind, 'Baby~ I am in Luna's room getting fresh towels. I will be right back in the room so just wait for me. Luna is in the bathroom so don't go inside.'

Number One didn't hesitate to withdraw his hands but Luna suddenly pulled his arms back to inspect his hands and froze on the spot. He was already readying himself for an explosive reaction but she didn't do anything besides holding his wrists tightly.

"Did you mistake me for Nami?" Luna asked straightforwardly which caused Number One to sigh in relief. At least she learned how to be understanding and realized it was an honest slip-up.

"I really thought you were Nami and I tried to surprise her," Number One explained apologetically. "Hope you are not mad at me. It's hard to tell you apart when you are wearing towels on your body and head."

One had blond hair while the other had black hair. It wouldn't be a problem usually but everything was covered so Number One couldn't really tell the difference from afar.

"Why would I be mad? It's not like you didn't already feel my whole body before. Once or twice more doesn't make a difference," Luna pointed out casually while sliding down her hands to hold his own properly. "Did you enjoy them at least? I hope mine are not that much worse compared to Nami."

Number One raised his eyebrows at the unexpected behavior. "It was too short for me to enjoy but they do feel nice. You can let go of me by the way. I will just wait outside for Nami so finish your bath first."

The golden crystal was fully exposed on Number One's chest which made the situation harder to deal with. If it was anyone else he would simply apologize and leave right away but Luna was a different case. Not only did they have a past together but she also took good care of Nami for the past few weeks.

Luna at least deserved an explanation but she didn't really take the hint and changed the script that was in Number One's mind. "How about you enjoy them properly then? I don't really mind if it's you."

"Didn't we already establish that it won't happen again in the future?" Number One questioned while squinting his eyes and withdrew his hands forcefully. "I don't think it's a good idea. Let's not complicate our lives further."

Number One believed it was a moment of weakness on Luna's side but he underestimated it. The moment he walked back to the door, Luna jumped out of the bath and swiftly caught up. "Wait!"

"Luna, what happened to you? Don't make it harder for us to move on," Number One reminded as he looked down at Luna's arms wrapping around his stomach. "I thought we were already cool with each other."

Although there was still some tension between them, they have been pretty chilled the past three weeks and it seemed like Luna wasn't bothered by their incident anymore. Number One assumed they could just return to normal but he was wrong judging by how she was acting.

"What do you mean I make it harder for us to move on?" Luna asked back while flipping the whole scenario. "You decided that on your own. I already told you that I will never forget what you did to me. You made a permanent mark on my body with your touch and I can't erase this memory from my mind."

Luna hugged him from behind with her wet towel wrapped around her chest and added, "I watched you make love with Nami so we both saw each other naked. Do you have a problem with us bathing together? It's not like you want me anyway so it should be fine if I'm okay with it."

"You know very well I couldn't really control myself at that time," Number One corrected while sighing. "I'm just trying to be respectful and make it easier for us to be friends. I already have Nami so we can only return back to normal to avoid any issues."

"Do you really believe we can be friends after what happened?" Luna questioned speechlessly before leaning over to his ear to confess her secret, "I have been doing it on my own since that day, and each time I've been thinking about you…"

Number One widened his eyes at the sudden turn but he couldn't respond in time before the main door opened. They heard Nami's voice calling for him and Luna released him as she returned back to the bath. "It's all your fault I'm like this. If you can't take responsibility then at least don't force me to forget. I will enjoy our memory on my own."

Nami finally entered the bathroom when Luna dropped her towels on the floor and entered the bath on her own completely naked. It was a sudden shock for her as she looked between Number One and Luna but he quickly explained, "I mistook Luna for you and entered inside on my own."

"That's okay, I was going to propose you join us anyway," Nami replied sweetly as she gazed at his chest. 'Did she see your crystal?'

Nami wasn't even bothered that he was naked besides the possibility of his secret being exposed.

'No, I turned around just in time but I groped her by accident just before I found out it's not you,' Number One revealed honestly but Nami only pursed her lips.

'Don't worry, I end up groping her a lot too,' Nami assured as she began stripping too and questioned, 'Did she mind it?'

Number One wanted to avoid this topic and let Luna deal with it herself but already stopped hiding things from Nami. 'She didn't mind and asked me to continue. She still can't forget about what happened between us. I should leave first and let you two enjoy your bath first.'

'Wait, don't leave,' Nami stopped him in time and stripped her clothes right in front of him. She then started wrapping a towel across Number One's chest and asked, "Luna, do you mind if Number One joins us?"
