Work Text:
Sakuya sighed as she walked through the halls of the Scarlet Devil Mansion. Earlier, she had just checked the front gates to see if the gatekeeper Meiling was actually awake. It had turned out that Meiling wasn’t even there, so Sakuya had set out to find her. This kind of nonsense didn’t really phase Sakuya anymore, she had gotten used to it by now and besides, if anyone really did want to break into the mansion and start hurting people, they would have to get past a maid that can stop time and two vampires, which is something that not very many people can say they can do. The issue was more so that it inspired laziness in the other fairy maids (who are already lazy enough) and also it gave Marisa an excuse to let herself in and steal things (which she usually did regardless, but if Meiling was at her post then at least there was the excuse of “She somehow got past Meiling”). When Meiling is slacking off, she’s usually asleep or reading some manga. But this time she isn’t. Luckily, Sakuya had a hunch of where Meiling might be. She marched over to the mansion’s gym. Not many people were aware that there was a gym in the mansion, and even fewer people actually used it aside from Meiling, who quite regularly spent time in it. Sakuya assumed that if she wasn’t napping outside, she must be in the gym working out.
As Sakuya entered the gym, she unsurprisingly found her hunch to be correct. There Meiling was, blissfully unaware of the fact that her break time had probably ended quite a while ago. Who even spends their break time working out and making their muscles ache? Sakuya never fully understood. Rolling her eyes, she sighed and walked into the gym.
Beads of sweat ran down Meiling’s body. As she gripped the pull up bar and, with herculean strength, pulled herself up once more so that her chest was touching the bar, each and every one of the muscle fibers in Meiling’s body screamed in pain once more. Each and every one of the muscle fibers in Meiling’s body wanted nothing more than to fall into a sweet, blissful sleep. Her biceps, back muscles and six pack abs cried out in pain, but Meiling couldn’t help but smile. The adrenaline surging through her body and her ragged breathing reminded her that she was alive. She went back into a dead hang and looked in the mirror in front of her to see a familiar face.
“Oh hey Sakuya! Just a sec - a couple more pull ups and I’m done, I promise!” Meiling said in between labored breaths.
“Meiling…” Sakuya started to say, but she trailed off as she got closer to Meiling. Her small grunts as she worked out. The way her muscles slightly bulged every time she did a pull up. It was far too embarrassing to admit, but Sakuya found it a little mesmerising..
“Hm? You okay Sakuya?” Meiling asked as she finished her last rep and hopped down from the pull up bar. Sakuya, who was now red as a beetroot, shook her head to regain composure and cleared her throat.
“Yes, er, yes of course. Do you have any idea what time it is?”
“Um…” Meiling looked at the clock on the wall, “Looks like it’s half past 1.”
Oh. Sakuya looked at the clock. This was a bit of an awkward situation. Meiling’s break didn’t finish for another half an hour. Well. Now Sakuya just felt a little stupid. How was she going to justify storming in here now? Luckily for her, Meiling didn’t really seem like she cared why Sakuya was here, as she was checking herself out in the mirror in front of her.
“I’ve been trying to bulk up a bit recently. What do you think, Sakuya?” Meiling asked as she flexed her arms and turned to face Sakuya.
Sakuya gulped. She prided herself on not being prone to looking at others in dodgy ways, but Meiling made Sakuya feel different. Meiling wasn’t as huge as someone like Yuugi, but she was still very athletic and more muscular than anyone else in the mansion. Her arms seemed like they were sculpted in the same manner as the statue of an ancient Greek god. Her beautiful biceps, shoulders and traps were clearly sculpted to perfection through years of hard work and dedication. Meiling’s outfit didn’t really leave a lot to Sakuya’s imagination either. Her chiseled 6 pack abs were laid bare thanks to the fact that she was just wearing a sports bra and some gym shorts. It took Sakuya a lot of effort to not stare so intensly at Meiling’s toned thighs. Meiling turned around and moved her hair out of the way so she could show off her powerful back muscles with a beautiful lat spread. With her luscious, long, scarlet hair out of the way, Meiling’s gorgeous lat muscles were-
“Um, you okay?” Meiling asked.
“Oh! Sorry, yes I’m fine I just, um. Uh, yes I-I’m fine.”, Sakuya stuttered while a bright red blush creeped on her face.
“Oh, okay. You just didn’t say anything, so…” Meiling turned back around to face Sakuya.
“Yes, I-I’m quite alright. I just, um, it appeared that my mind was elsewhere.” Sakuya looked away and awkwardly scratched her chin. She cleared her throat and continued: “Ahem. Er, anyways, I’d say your progress is coming along quite nicely.”
“Aw, thank you!” Meiling said with the sweetest voice Sakuya had ever heard. Meiling then noticed Sakuya’s beetroot red face and had a cheeky idea.
“You know, you can touch them if you want.” Meiling said with a very smug face and a knowing smile. Sakuya couldn’t find anything to say. Her face was so red that you could hold a tomato next to her face and they would look almost identical.
“Your… I… Erm….” Sakuya stuttered as her brain kept short circuiting and her face became even more of a tomato.
“I’m talking about my muscles, y’know, not my-”
“I-I know what you’re talking about, thank you very much!”
Meiling stepped a bit closer. It was even harder for Sakuya to focus now. At this distance, the height difference was a lot clearer. It was also easier to hear Meiling’s ragged breathing, and see her chest rhythmically rise and fall with each breath. The effort needed not to just stare and drool at the tall, hot, strong red head in front of her was something that Sakuya would prefer not to disclose. Meiling flexed one arm and quickly glanced at it, as if urging Sakuya to touch it. With a sigh, Sakuya carefully touched Meiling’s bicep.
“You don’t have to be so careful,” Meiling giggled, “It’s not like my arm’s going to fall off.”
“Oh shut up, I’m embarrassed! It’s not exactly normal to let someone feel your muscles!” Sakuya retorted.
“I mean, you can touch my muscles whenever you want, so long as you ask.” Meiling said in a sultry tone. At least, Sakuya interpreted it as sultry. Maybe it wasn’t intended in that way, she found it kinda hard to think clearly in the situation she was in. Meiling’s muscles felt a lot different than Sakuya thought they would. They had a solid, firm shape that could be clearly felt, but it was also fairly squishable. Meiling blushed as Sakuya’s hands found themselves wandering across her well sculpted biceps and shoulders, down her chiseled obliques, and down to her washboard abs. This was oddly addicting. It felt good. Sakuya quickly glanced over at the clock. 25 to 2, meaning there was still 25 minutes until Meiling had to get back to work. Sakuya actually had her own tasks to do right now, but… there are other maids in the mansion so it would probably be fine to stay here a little longer.
“Am I doing a good job massaging you?” Sakuya asked, smiling as she looked up at Meiling, who was now blushing.
“You’re not really massaging me, you're kinda just rubbing my abs.” Meiling replied, “Not that I mind.”
“Do you want me to massage you later then?” Sakuya asked.
“After I’ve done some stretching, sure! Wanna stretch with me?”
Sakuya really did need to get back to work. However, stretching was important to keep the body healthy. Also, Meiling was super hot, so Sakuya agreed to do some stretches with Meiling. Meiling guided Sakuya through a soothing series of stretches. They started with simple neck turns, then went on to stretching the shoulders, triceps, and the rest of the upper body. The whole process was very enlightening for Sakuya. Initially, she was actually intending to just look at Meiling’s body, but as they both engaged in relaxing stretches, they found themselves becoming closer. Sakuya never realised how stiff her body had become before these stretches. Thanks to Meiling’s surprising wealth of knowledge and expertise guidance, Sakuya’s limbs felt more limber than ever before.
“And that’s about it. Well, how was that? Relaxing, right?” Meiling asked after finishing up the last stretch.
“It was quite relaxing. I never knew you were this well versed on this topic, though I suppose it should’ve been obvious you’d be so knowledgeable about this in hindsight.” Sakuya said as she stood up with Meiling. She stepped closer, until they were face to face, and rested her hands on Meiling’s hips. “So… that massage?”
Meiling placed her hands on Sakuya’s hands and replied: “Sorry, I need to take a quick shower first - I’ll be real quick though! Just wait in my room, ‘kay?”
Sakuya responded by clasping Meiling’s cheeks and standing up on her tiptoes to give her favourite red head a deep kiss on the lips. Blood rushed to Meiling’s face as she was a little taken back, but she could hardly resist a kiss from Sakuya. Brainwashed by passion, Meiling held the back of Sakuya’s head as she leaned down and kissed back. They stayed like that for a while, until they both pulled back.
“I just really needed to get that out of my system, sorry. You’re just such a gorgeous woman.” Sakuya apologised, with a guilty smile and a rosy red blush plastered on her face.
“There’s no need to apologise!” Meiling insisted, with a cheesy smile and an equally rosy red blush plastered on her face. “I think it’s perfectly fine if a gorgeous woman like you indulges in a little fun. You deserve it anyways for how hard you work.”
“Oh, you’re too kind!” Sakuya giggled, “Well, off you go then. One thing though…” Sakuya stood on her toes and leaned into Meiling’s ear to whisper: “I’ll be waiting in your room, so don’t take too long. It’s rather impolite to keep a woman waiting after all~”
“I won’t be too long.” Meiling giggled. Sakuya bit her bottom lip as Meiling winked at her then walked off. They would probably end up going past both of their break times, but was that really that bad? After all, she and Meiling both worked hard, especially Meiling. Sakuya decided that she deserved a break and a reward for her hard work.
