Work Text:
With all of the horses interviewed, Belno thought to wrap it up for the day. Although a shame that she didn't get to spy on one more uma since nobody has a damn clue about her whereabouts, it doesn't matter anyway. Plus it's getting late.
She streches her arm and laid her back on the garden chair. She reviewed the overall umas that had come for the Japan Cup. Some of them are strong, strategic, intimidating, and determined. But what unites these girls is their common goal...
To win.
Belno can only feel a bit envious about all of this. Not only is she unsuited for running in races, she's also lacking ambition to race in the tracks unlike the usual umamusumes.
Well it's not like its not completely there, maybe she does have it, but it doesn't quite burn as bright as Oguri Cap's. She just had that potential to be in the racetracks than she is. She can dream sure, but to actually do it in real life? The only thing she'll be seeing are the runner's backs.
*rustle
"Hwah!?"
Belno flinced at the sudden sound coming from behind her. She navigated at the source of the rustling to find...
OBEY YOUR MASTER!?
The mysterious umamusume that caught the world by storm. With 0 G1 races and a mysterious background, somehow she made her way into Japan and is now racing on one of the most infamous racing tracks of Japan.
Her appearance is that of a typical gal with an eccentric personality, the type you'd usually don't get involved with if you were in an anime. But this is a racer that's not known much outside of that! It'd be better to collect intel before the person...uma? Disappears!
"U-uhm..."
Belno tried her best to let out a sound. But actually, what IS the girl in front of her doing? She's laying faced to the ground with her bottom sticking up that she just assumed this is what Americans usually do in their free time.
Then the uma suddenly stood up, startling the little spy once again.
"Waah! This grass is soft as hell!"
The peculiar girl shouted. Belno looks at the tall...well FREAKISHLY tall uma right in front of her face. Around 180 ish centimeters if she's not mistaken. In the first place, there wasn't always much tall umas in Japan. Maybe a selected few, but not around her so far. Heck, even Tracen academy doesn't have that much tall racers.
Maybe this is a western thing.
"Ah? Oh! You're cute~"
The figure standing before her leaned in to view Belno's face. Belno becomes on guard and started talking to gather intel.
"Ah uh so...I'm a reporter, and I'm wondering if I can get some info from you..." She said in english, preparing a pen and a paper when she heard her laughing.
"Ahaha! Mmm, well for starters, the grass here compared to America is way...shorter! And the air here is much fresher too!"
Ah, so she CAN speak Japanese. Damn, she felt like this won't end well after all.
"W-well...thanks for your insight then..."she turned around to leave the girl alone when she spoke:
"Guess we foreigns ain't the only ones being asked about the suitability of the course."
She felt something missing
HER HAT!
"You're Belno light, aint chat? Or maybe i should call you James Bond~?"
ೀ܀⊹˙┆✽ 𝜗𝜚┆˙⊹܀ೀ
Belno finds herself in shock, and pretty much lost in thought. As the brunette still recalls the time Oguri ran on the tracks, chasing over Obey and Tamamo with sweat dripping down her face, and the expression of pure agony that even Oguri can't seem to wipe away.
Belno knew, the moment Oguri, a country horse becomes a well known figure all across Japan and broader, she'd be bound to encounter those who are way stronger, way faster, and way more strategic, all while keeping up the pace. It's in a matter of time before Oguri made it to Arima Kinen and faces off Tamamo once more.
She'll know Oguri won't just give up, but the tugging feeling that something worse will happen won't left her mind either.
But the most shoker of all is how Obey Your Master, a not well known and probably considered as a random umamusume with ambition, won the Japan Cup, and probably the first G1 victory in her career
Her joyful playful facade that stripped away once she was in a one-on-one with Tamamo Cross, chills sending down her spine at how glorious she actually looked.
She was a fool for thinking such a thing.
She was well engrossed in her thoughts that she didn't realize the umamusume she was having thoughts of, was standing behind her.
"Heyo~"
Belno was forced to snap back into reality, and is now face to face with the taller girl who looms at her.
Obey looked at the shorter girl and responded her nervousness with a chuckle
"Kehehe, hahahaha! Hey, I don't bite you know~?"
The taller says with full assurance, but that doesn't really seem to help calm the situation.
Obey can only sigh, and give Belno a pat on the shoulder
"Yanno, you're actually quite a bold umamusume despite being timid. Doing your research as you're told and infiltrating the others for info? That takes guts! I guess Japanese umas are bred different, or maybe~"
She took some of belno's strands and put it near her lips.
"It's a charm that only you can do?"
Letting go of her hair, she looked at the shorter ones face.
Shock, confusion, and a hint of pink that dusts her cheeks were shown un-vividly.
Obey thinks she's cute, being a flustered mess.
Maybe she should ask Oguri Cap if she's willing to make her partner hers, but it's not like they're dating or anything.
Well whatever, obey looks at Belno one more time whispers something near her ears
"I'll be back next year, Miss James Bond~"
Obey your Master left the small uma that is frozen in shoked. As Belno finally came back to oguri and Musaka, they saw the girl in a flustering mess and her legs too wobbly to walk.
WHAT WAS THAT!?
ೀ܀⊹˙┆✽ 𝜗𝜚┆˙⊹܀ೀ
It was an unfortunate event that Obey lost the race in this years Japan Cup. Oguri had become more formidable, and with the addition of Folkqueen, she really had underestimate them.
But it's fine, because now she can finally feel like herself.
She was about to make a silent leave but then saw the same brunette that she saw last year, now a little taller and a bit more mature.
She does think she grew into a fine woman, but still had that cute look in her that she can't resist to tease.
"Heyo!"
"Waaah!"
Obey looked over to what she was doing and discovers that she's been replaying the whole race, Specifically to Obey herslef.
Obey felt honored to know she at least have a fan (even though she rise into stardom like a year ago)
Still, curious as she is, she asked:
"Are you startin to like me~? Hehe jk"
"Ah...i guess you could say that"
Obey tensed up for a bit, a little shoked that she said it so straightforward, but returned with her go lucky smile
"Aww~ thanks! I feel suuuper honored to be liked by a cute uma like you!"
"T-that's not it..."
"Huh..?"
Belno finds the courage to look at the taller uma in the eyes.
"I-
I actually been researching about you. You kept losing and never achieved something great despite the many races you joined...and i find you quite charming...well I also never knew you could have a...mmm...cold side of you? But it adds to your charm...i guess? And you're like, super hot- AAAH F-FORGET ABOUT THAT!"
Belno nervously fidget her fingers and slowly oepned her eyes, a little scared, but Obey only stood there with her mouth gape open.
Even she too, was stunned. Slowly a hot feeling filled her face, and her star shaped pupil slowly turns round.
"W-wha!? Uhm...T-thanks, ahh i never had a fan say that to me for real..."
'Ughhhh, she really is such a cutie...'
She said while looking at Belno. Actually, Belno has never left her mind since last year. She randomly found her umagram and just, stalked her?
With the added fact that Belno IS INTO HER, it's no surprise that the built up feelings she had for the shorter grew and is not bursting.
"...mmm, you're welcome?"
They awkwardly stood, both refusing to say anything because Obey finds it hard to put on her facade, and Belno second thinking on what type of glue she snorted to make her say that.
Obey decides to break the silence
"We..should go back soon..."
"...yeah..."
"....do you wanna exchange numbers?"
Belno's ear perked up
"Huh? Y-yeah! I'd love to!"
So they exchanged numbers and became pretty much long distance buddies to lovers.
ೀ܀⊹˙┆✽ 𝜗𝜚┆˙⊹܀ೀ
Another year passes, and today, Belno is sitting near the bench where she first encountered Obey.
She receive news that Obey will not participate in this year's Japan Cup due to unknown reasons, but what they didn't know is that it doesn't mean she will not come to Japan.
Two days before said Japan cup, Obey promised that she'll be willing to come to Japan to meet her now girlfriend.
It kinda sucks that they can only meet eachother for one day in a year, but it's all Belno could have asked for.
Fortunately, Obey booked a 3 day stay on a resort just to see Belno, and hopefully court Belno to her room.
Even Belno felt like it's a very ooc thing for her to do.
"Bel!"
The person that she's been waiting for shouted from afar.
Belno realized that Obey had changed alot in appearance. Back then, Obey was wearing an eccentric outfit, but now she wore something more modest that complimented her looks.
Apparently, Belno liked her long hair, so she refused to cut it.
'I can't believe this woman is my girlfriend' Belno still blushed at the thought.
"Huh, do you remember our first meeting?"
Said obey
"...hehe, yeah. I thought you were dead"
Obey reacted to the thought, a bit offended of the response.
"How am i supposed to be a champion if i died first huh??? Fyi, I care about my own health!"
The two girls giggled, happy that they were finally in eachother's company.
And slowly, the mood shifter a bit as Obey looked at Belno's lips.
"Hey"
"Mmm?"
She cupped the brunette's cheeks and looks at her lovingly
"...can i?"
Belno didn't have to respond to that statement as she closed her eyes, a sign that she can let the blondie do whatever the fuck she has in mind.
Obey didn't take much time to lean forward and kissed the girl on the lips. Her lips was soft, and also tastes like cherries, probably because of her lip gloss. Obey is starting to get addicted to the taste, but she still had to make sure Belno was comfortable.
Belno's lips parted slightly, and Obey wasted no time to let her tongue in. They can feel eachother's breaths with their distance, Belno is a little sloppy with kisses, but she still tried. Whereas Obey learned how to kiss from the internet. But still, this doesn't defeat the purpose that this is her first time kissing someone on the mouth. Both their heartbeats went faster as they refuse to part.
(Note: i can't write a kissing scene so spare my ass)
It continued for a pretty long time, until Belno parted their mouths with a string of saliva to catch her breath. (Ew)
"You're good at this...did you kissed anyone while i wasn't there?"
"No, you're my first."
Belno chuckled.
"I see"
Belno rests her forehead towards Obey's chest, enjoying the scent of vanilla, probably some high end perfume, while being blissfully enbraced by her tall girlfriend.
Gosh sometimes Obey felt like pouncing on her girl, she's just too cute for her to handle. But all those thoughts were set aside.
"...you wanna go to my place?" Obey offered
".....mm"
THE END
