Retsuko rolled over in bed, naked and cradling her glowing phone. In the dark of the studio apartment, her tail and legs bounced on the sheets with glee. She'd always thought Fenneko was super cool and they'd been friends since she joined the company, but she'd never entertained more than the occasional fantasy about her. Granted, she had idle fantasies about more than a few of her co-workers. Part of the reason she'd never considered dating Haida was because she kind of thought Fenneko was into him, since they were so close. Turned out she was.

Once she'd started dating Haida, though, those idle crushes had all faded away. Who needed fantasies when she had the real thing? Getting to know Haida as a boyfriend, learning to open up with him, had crowded all other thoughts. But Fenneko was never far off. She'd helped them get together and never expected anything in return. She put out a jaded front, but Retsuko had always suspected a sappy romantic hid underneath. Why else put in so much effort?

It'd been easy to keep talking to her about Haida. He'd been talking to her too. The fennec had joked about being part of their relationship, to the point that it flustered Haida, but Retsuko had never really considered it very realistic before tonight.

Did Fenneko trade nude photos a lot? She seemed too cautious and internet-savvy for that. And she was super good friends with them. That had to mean it wasn't just her being a hornball, right? Hugging her pillow, the panda really hoped so.

She swiped through the naughty photos saved to her phone. Naked pictures of her two best friends in the world. She blushed. The blush intensified as she arrived at the pics she'd sent in return. Before tonight, she'd never considered sending sexy texts, let alone steamy photos, but it'd happened so easily. It felt so natural to trust them. They'd never hurt her feelings on purpose. Still, even buzzing from the intense orgasm she'd just had, she couldn't believe she'd done it. She buried her face in the pillow.

Her phone chirped. In a solo chat, Haida sent her a heart emoji.

She sent one back.

Heart aflutter, Retsuko found herself grinning so hard her cheeks hurt. Haida would've hit the brakes if he had a problem with what happened. He'd gotten a lot better about speaking his mind. Even in that crazy conversation, he'd been pretty clear about being into it. They'd have to talk about it, sure, but it was good to know Haida wasn't freaking out. She was freaking out, but in a good way.

A slight chill resulted from the evaporating wetness between her thighs. She tugged the blankets over her, taking a moment to glance at the dim outline of her rump. They really liked her butt? She knew Haida found her cute, but she hadn't expected that to be his first pick. The idea that her two best pals found her attractive left her giddy. Smiling into the dark, she replayed the conversation in her head until sleep stole over her.
