An Unexpected Romance [Xanatos and Sigr]

"Oh- I didn't mean- they can if they want- just- the surprise-" Mike was red and didn't make much sense, but after Sarah made a comment about the night he grew crimson and didn't know where to look at. "I wasn't saying..." he shook his head, as if that would arrange the scattered ideas in his mind. "I was just taken by surprise" Mike started anew, sounding more alike his usual gentle and thoughtful self that the embarrassed mess he had been the last thirty seconds. "We are friends and something more, I'm sure that things will be more than fine" he said, looking all around him, to friends old and new, to his girlfriend.

"Aww you mushy chef" Alex mocked, although it was clear that she was touched by his words. "Yeah, we'll be great" she said, leaning against Austin's taller form, looking up to him.

"Don't get comfortable though, it's getting late and I'm sure that as much space your parents give you, you should be home by now" Mike laughed. "So let be give you a ride" he insisted on the early idea. Mike thought of having some guy talk with Austin on the horizon, while he was sure that Alex and Sarah could help each other, although that wasn't up to him in any way. Mike sneaked another goodbye kiss and hug with Sarah before heading out.

"Fiiiiiiiiine" Alex whined jokingly, doing the goodbye kiss and hug routine in her own way, almost hanging from Austin's neck in the process. She hugged Sarah as well, whispering "girl talk soon" on the go before breaking the embrace and following Mike out, grabbing the bike that Austin gifted her and putting it on the back of Mike's car.
 
Austin was more than happy to embrace Alex and give her a good night kiss. He chuckled a little as she seemed reluctant to let go of his neck. "Go on now. I'll see you again soon. Good night, you two."

Sarah blushed softly as Sarah whispered about girl talk. It made her heart flutter and her smile grow. Such little things that reaffirmed her identity made her feel very loved indeed. "You bet." She whispered back. "Good night!" She waved after them before looking back at Austin with a smug and teasing smile.


Days would turn to weeks since that magical Friday night. As Alex and Austin felt their way through their new relationship, Sarah and Mike only grew closer. A couple more fumbling attempts at experimenting would occur, but no real progress on that front. Eventually, as the two who shared the locker room with her would realize she had started wearing a sports bra. Of course, that would also have been the end of her experimenting with Mike, as her chest was sore and sensitive.

It was one afternoon, between the last periods that Sarah waited outside Alex's classroom. As soon as the athletic girl came out, Sarah quickly grabbed her arms, tugging her towards the girl's bathroom. "Girl talk. Now." She pleaded as she pulled her into the room. "I need your help with something." She mumbled once they were alone, her cheeks bright red from embarrassment.
 
Alex was almost sorry that Austin would then have to endure Sarah's questions, but given how much they cared for each other she knew that Austin would be fine and could withstand some good natured ribbing. She knew that something beyond dinner had gone between Mike and Sarah, but since both looked extremely happy after the date, she was sure that whatever happened was more than adequate. Mike of course wasn't one to gossip, but seeing that Alex was at her happiest since the term began he forgot the awkward start and how they had distanced a bit during summer vacations. He still didn't know what happened while she worked on the coast, if anything, but whatever it was didn't seem to bother her. As days went by the new dynamics seemed more and more natural, it wasn't as Austin and Alex weren't physically close before, but their mock fights and friendly hugs were now romantic embraces and kisses, specially coming from the energetic Alex.

Days, weeks went by, and relationships steadied and nurtured, feeling as comfortable as things had always been like that. Alex and Austin didn't get too far yet, as they hardly found the moment or the drive, not to mention that they were happy as they were. Sarah and Mike were also closer and closer, and even if Mike didn't want to peek or intrude, the sport bras she was starting to wear had him equally curious and excited about what they protected, but also served as an additional barrier between their closeness.

One afternoon Alex got out of the class distracted, just to be grabbed and dragged by a redheaded hurricane. "Sarah?" she uttered out of surprise, into the bathroom before she could react. Alex nodded with a small understanding smile as Sarah called for girl talk. Alex raised a finger for Sarah to pause, checking the stalls to make sure they were empty. Once she did so and the two girls were the only ones there, she got close to Sarah and nodded. "You can trust me with whatever, you know right?" she whispered even if there was no one else there, keeping the moment close, wondering what Sarah needed help with.
 
As soon as Alex confirmed they were alone, Sarah took one look back towards the door before taking a deep breath. "Yeah, I know. I just... Gah It's embarrassing... I need to go shopping, but not with Mike, definitely not with Austin..." She looked down to her shirt, starting to unbutton it. Under it was a simple light pink sports bra, but more important, were the two small mounds it concealed, more than a little compressed by the pink fabric.

"I don't even know where to start. I don't know my size or what type to get, what looks nice, or even where to go. But I know I can't keep wearing these." She looked at her with hopeful eyes, silently pleading for her help. Though Sarah's features had started to soften, and her skin became healthier due to the hormones, it was a far less obvious change, being so gradual, than her new found bust. It was as exciting as it was terrifying.
 
"Hey, it's fine, you can count on me-" Alex was in the middle of a reassuring speech when Sarah just brought her hands to her shirt and started to unbutton it. Alex's eyes bulged at the sight and sudden bravado of the girl, that not only shared her development with her but did so in such a place. She should be accustomed by now for Sarah being the brave one of them four, but it kept catching Alex unaware. "I never get to see you like this due to that locker room policy bullshit" Alex said, sounding angry at the school but soon gentler and sweeter, even if she was mesmerized by the sight. "I'm so happy for you... but this bra looks way too tight, you are too big for it" Alex nodded, observant.

After looking back to the bathroom door for a moment, Alex raised the hem of her shirt and revealed her own bra, this too a sports one in navy blue. "Mine are bigger, but even if the bra supports them, it should never compress them like yours does" she showed. Seeing Sarah on a daily basis it was easy to ignore her development as it was building up, but faced with those budding breasts Alex knew that she really needed her help. "You must be sore as well, you should have come to me or your mother earlier" Alex said, hugging her carefully to not add to the problem.

"I'm not winning any awards to... girliness here" Alex admitted awkwardly, as she was quite the tomboy. "But I know my stuff since sports require support, so I'll be glad to help" she nodded. "We'll get to a shop right after class, measure you up and will help choosing a few cute things that suit you" she offered. "You are safe with me, try to not be nervous and we'll have some fun shopping" she finished.
 
Sarah let out a relieved sigh when Alex agreed to help. She knew she should've come to her sooner, like as soon as she started wearing a sports bra for protection, but she had simply been too embarrassed. She returned her hug, smiling bashfully as she started buttoning her shirt again. "Thanks Alex, I appreciate it. I really do." Of course she had some concerns about shopping for a bra. She was nervous that she might have to deal with general prejudiced nonsense, but she knew she was safe with Alex.

"So, after school then?" She tried to look confident in their plan, even if she was nervous. Hell, she knew she would have to get topless with Alex to learn her size, which made her a little nervous. Though if she ever wanted to use the girl's locker room, she'd have to get used to it. "I'll text my Mom to let her know We're going shopping. "Thanks you so much!" She hugged her again, both excited and nervous, but mostly relieved she wouldn't be figuring it out alone.
 
"After school" Alex nodded, reassuring her. Sarah looked really nervous, not entirely a surprise, so she had to protect her. "I'll text Austin and Mike to let them know that we'll be on a girls only afternoon, don't worry, no details" she said, grabbing her phone. "That way you don't have to give any explanations and..." she said, slightly playful. "Anything you get will not only be stuff you like, but also a surprise for him" she said, blushing a bit. She didn't want to embarrass Sarah, but she was already feeling awkward about it, so perhaps she could give something else to focus on. She had to be happy with whatever they were going to get, but maybe if she had the idea of looking cute for Mike she would be a bit more cooperative or open. "Maybe I'll get something too" she shrugged. If Sarah saw Alex getting something girly for herself maybe she would feel more at ease, even if she wasn't sure what would suit her or how would Austin react to see her with a girly ensemble.

It was Sarah's moment though, so she didn't want to go overboard and shadow her if she was to feel comfortable with the recent developments. Alex wasn't the kind that would tip toe around the issues and make Sarah feel fragile or overtly tended to, but she would help to the best of her abilities, so if that included getting unlikely girly lingerie or showing Sarah her boobs she didn't have a problem with it. Alex was curious herself, she couldn't deny it, but reassuring Sarah into her femineity was way more important, as Alex didn't think of her as nothing else than a girl and wanted Sarah to understand it, even if there could be bigoted people out there.

Making sure that both of them looked presentable after the undressing and the hugging, Alex and Sarah returned to the last lesson of the day, promptly reuniting together after classes. Austin and Mike had answered her text, and as it turned out both of them were busy with swimming and cooking stuff, so they weren't too curious about the girls day out. Alex awaited for Sarah on her bike, being the tomboy she was she intended to ride her to the mall. "Sarah!" she waved for her. "Come and ride with me" she tapped on the back of her bike, caring little for what any other students may think. "We are going to the mall's Victoria's Secret shop" she announced. Alex had never shopped there, but when asked about cute underwear the famous branch came to her mind, so she kind of defaulted to that.
 
After classes finally got out, Sarah had sent a text to her mother as a head's up. Though her mother was initially adversed to her going shopping, with Austin and Mike to busy to attend, she caved when assured Alex would be there.

As she exited the building, she heard Alex call her name. "Hey!" She smiled when she saw her and waved excitedly. With a light jog, she crossed the short distance to reach the bike rack. She didn't think anything of the offer to ride on the back of Alex's bike, climbing on behind the athletic girl. "Oh. Wow. Okay." Sarah hadn't expected Victoria's secret, but she wouldn't say no, either. Few places better than one that actually specialized in this sort of thing. Good thing she had saved up a fair amount of cash, by highschooler standards. "I was thinking once We're finished we could grab a bite to eat at the food court. My treat!"

Arriving at the mall, all was normal at first. The walk to the store was occasionally paused by Sarah and her love of window shopping. Not that she actually entered any of them today, but she still stopped at display windows. Despite having come out a few months ago at this point, exploring her femininity will still a new adventure! She loved experimenting with different styles and browsing for new clothes, even if buying new stuff wasn't very frequent.

When they actually arrived, she stopped dead in her tracks, staring at the store like it was some terrible gauntlet she had to face. Her hands clutched one another against her chest, staring at the various lingerie covered mannequins inside. She swallowed nervously before looking at Alex with an uneasy smile and uncomfortable chuckle.
 
"That sounds like a plan then!" Alex looked back to Sarah and nodded. "Hold tight! We are going shopping!" she said, instructing Sarah to hug around her waist, making sure she was safe in before going forward. The mall wasn't that far, and Alex's hasty biking got the two girls there quite quickly with Alex not even breaking a sweat, although Sarah was able to feel her tight physique since they were so close. "You love window shopping, don't you?" Alex smiled, having fun with it too. "I'm not accustomed to it, most of my wardrobe comes from different sport gear shops" she confessed, although that was already apparent.

Besides sporty pants, shorts and leggings, t shirts and even underwear, the few things Alex owned that didn't belong in such a store were normally a few denim articles and coats for cold weather. "I don't know if a dress would suit me, it must be hard to ride a bike with one too" she mumbled, more an afterthought than a proper sentence. Maybe Austin would like seeing her with a dress? No way, she sure would look ridiculous in one, but the idea was already planted and with Alex's daring attitude maybe she could find some use for those clothes her mother always got for her and she never wore.

Sarah froze as they arrived just outside of the very visible and shameless Victoria's Secret store, there was no mistaking what they sold there, even if they had variety on their wares, even including sport underwear. "Hey" Alex called for Sarah's attention, standing behind her with her strong hands on her shoulders. "I got your back, I know how brave you are and some silly lacy fabrics aren't going to best you" she reassured her. "I'll be with you all the time, don't worry" Alex said, calmly. "I can take care of the measures and all that, don't worry. No stranger needs to know nor see anything you don't want to" Alex insisted, taking a moment.

"But always remember that you belong here, it's completely fine" Alex sentenced, walking around Sarah to check on her face. "Should we go in?" she asked, offering a hand for her to hold.
 
Sarah took a deep breath. Why did every step forward, no matter how simple, feel like another hurdle to jump? It was lovely how every time she got scared either Mike or Alex were there to call her brave, not that she ever felt brave, and give her that little push. She smiled at her reassurance and encouragement. Though the one thing Alex said to truly tie a bow on the package, was the reminder that Sarah belonged there. She wasn't an outsider. She was just as much a girl as anyone else. "Yeah, you're right." She forced herself to relax a little, accepting her hand as it was offered. "Yeah, let's go."

She let Alex lead the way into the store, though she stayed behind her for a few moments once inside. Idly browsing while practically hiding behind Alex. The different items on display had her bright red. While some were modest or cute, others were so racy that the very idea of wearing them for Mike had her heart pounding in her chest fast enough to practically be heard. "So, um... How do we..."

She spotted a sign towards the back for a fitting room, recognizing it as both the goal and a momentary sanctuary. She was so distracted and anxious, that when she heard a friendly voice behind her, she nearly jumped out of her skin. "Hello ladies, finding everything okay? Anything I can do to help you?" In the blink of an eye, she circled Alex again, keeping her as a buffer between her and the older woman. The tall brunette gave the startled girl a quizzical look before quickly apologizing. "Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you." She added with a friendly chuckle.

"I uh..." Sarah's voice was barely a whisper, not trusting her voice not to out herself if she raised it even a little.
 
It was the first time for Alex in a store like that as well, and the lacy, frilly, girly nature of some of the garments made her wonder. What if she was wearing one of those? She had the assets to make it look good, but wouldn't one of those little delicate things make her look weird? She sure wouldn't feel confident enough as to just raise or remove her shirt like she often did, not to mention that many of those weren't made for racing, although riding the bike should be fine. How would Austin react if he saw her in one of those the next time they met alone? Just the idea of donning one made her feel brave, different. Perhaps what she had to wonder was if she wanted to pamper herself a little bit.

"I know enough as to take your measures, I'm guessing that we can do it at the-" Alex answered, as Sarah had noticed the fitting room at the back, but the sudden well meaning appearance of a shop employee startled her and definitely scared Sarah, as she could feel how she squeezed her hand. As Sarah hid behind Alex, she felt more protective than ever, standing tall between them like she was some kind of knight in shining armor. "My friend is just shy about her bust" Alex said. "So I thought that I'd take her measures and guide her through the process" Alex explained as neatly and friendly as possible.

"So... we just need a measuring tape and we'll be fine" Alex said. "But we'll make sure to go looking for you if any question arises, thank you very much for worrying" she finished with a small nod. It was a side of Alex that rarely was seen, but her parents had raised her to be understanding and well meaning beyond the situation, so she wasn't the kind to answer rudely to the employee just because she accidentally startled Sarah. "See? We are fine" she said to Sarah once the employee was gone, lending them a flexible measuring tape. "Lets go, don't let that scare you, she just meant well" Alex said, escorting Sarah to the back.
 
Sarah was very grateful when Alex spoke up for her. She offered a faint smile and meek wave as the woman left. She visibly relaxed as Alex addressed her, smiling sheepishly and nodding a little. "Y-yeah, I know..." She followed Alex back to the fitting rooms, giving one last cautious look around the store before ducking inside. The space was fairly large, clearly meant for two people.

Sarah locked the door before turning to face Alex. A slight blush tinted her cheeks, but she was clearly more at ease with her in private. "O-okay. So, just take everything off, right?" She started with unbuttoning her shirt, setting it aside soon after. Despite Sarah's misgivings about her body, if there was one thing that she liked about it, it was that she always had a slim feminine form with a nice flat stomach. With a deep breath she started trying to work her way out of her snug sports bra, there were a few grunts of effort before it finally came free. There was a brief moment where her arms were trapped above her head, wrapped in the sports bra, putting her bare chest on display, slightly red from the snug sports bra. She was certainly bigger than the pink fabric let on, as the fleshy mounds truly could be nothing but a young woman's breasts. Sarah, instinctively covered herself once her arms were freed, blushing a little brighter.

"Yeah, if... if it helps I can do the same-" Alex mumbled, not exactly as shameless as to just go topless in front of her friend and sister of her boyfriend just like that, but it wasn't a specially big deal for her if it was of help. Her offer came almost late, Alex's voice fading along the sentence as Sarah in her usual sudden bouts of bravery was already unbuttoning her shirt and setting it aside. Alex was happy with her own body, fit and strong, but even if hers was nice, Sarah looked just beautiful, almost doll-like. So slim and smooth, she had a body that many girls would envy and Alex hoped that Sarah was as happy with herself as she could, as it couldn't be easy. Maybe that was it, Alex thought, everyone had something to envy from the girl next to them.

Alex got a chance to both admire and worry about Sarah's breasts, since they were bigger than she had expected and yet they had been awfully restrained by the unfitting sport bra she wore. Once Sarah managed to get rid of the bra, trapped above her head and making Sarah doubt if she should step in to help or not, Sarah covered herself, prompting a warm smile on Alex. "As I said, I can go topless too if it makes it easier" Alex offered. "But you have nothing to worry about, nothing to feel shameful about. Your body is beautiful, I mean it, and your breasts are pretty and bigger than I expected" she said with a nod. "We have to make sure that you get the treatment they deserve, with that growing... they must be awfully sensitive I guess?" Alex asked.

The tomboy girl had been doing some Internet research on her own, not too much as every experience was different and personal, but she wanted to know what she could expect from Sarah's transition so she could support her the best. As a track athlete she knew fully well how sensitive breasts and nipples could be, as a couple of times when younger and starting to develop she had the horrible idea of running long distance without proper coverage and... well, the results weren't pleasant. Now she was more than aware of what she had to do to keep her reasonably sized breasts protected, but with Sarah being way less active than her, the kind of comfort she needed with her breasts was different.

"I'm going to explain the whole thing beforehand so you know what you are getting into, nothing to be nervous about" Alex said, getting the measuring tape ready. "I'm going to take two measurements, below your bust, just below them" she said. "And over your bust, I'll be gentle" Alex added promptly. "It needs to be somewhat close, but not tight, so don't worry about that. With those two measures we'll know what size you need and we can then start with the fun part of finding something cute for you" Alex nodded, trying to be the older sister Sarah didn't have. "Ready?" she asked, giving her the time she needed.
 
Sarah kept her arms raised protectively at first, though Alex's reassurance made her visibly relax. Even still, her compliment made her blush deepen considerably. Outside of Mike, she had never heard someone call her beautiful. It warmed her heart, prompting a shy sort of smile to spread across her features. "Y-yeah. They're really sensitive. They really hurt sometimes too. Like having a big bruise." She mumbled, still a little weirded out by discussing breasts with anyone, much less one of her best friends.

"I understand." She replied with a nod at her explanation. She took a deep breath before lowering her arms to expose herself, raising them slightly at her sides to make it easier for Alex. "And um... Thanks again for doing this with me. I felt really weird thinking about asking anyone else." The shy red head wasn't even comfortable going to her mother with this, fearing that helping her former son go bra shopping would be too weird. "I think I'm ready." She looked away slightly, not quite equipped with the resilience to look directly at Alex while she took her measurements.
 
Topless and up close, Sarah almost made Alex feel like a giant hunk of meat. She was always aware of the physical difference between the two, specially so after the pool day, but bare chested and with those lovely breasts there, Alex felt like a beast to that doll's beauty. "Yeah, it will get better with time and a proper attire, I'd say it's worth the pain though" she said, wanting to both bolster Sarah's confidence and also wanting to keep talking so her friend wouldn't be focusing on the task at hand. With her way broader back and somewhat long arms, it wasn't so hard to wrap the measuring tape around Sarah, even if that meant that Alex would be very, very close to her breasts. That closely it was obvious that she had been wearing the wrong thing, so she was glad Sarah trusted her with that.

"It's amazing how different you two are" Alex kept talking, circling around her thin chest with the tape. Austin's back was way broader than Sarah's, as she had previous experience circling around it, so it spoke lots about what kind of life had Sarah been leading until that year. "Twenty six, so thin and pretty" Alex muttered, taking the measures of the under bust. "Now comes the weirdest part, I'll be gentle" Alex commented, ready to measure Sarah's budding breasts over her incredibly sensitive nipples. She wanted to do it right for Sarah's sake, so she couldn't quite just eyeball it, but the sooner and gentled she did so, the better. Keeping the tape in place over her breasts, Alex noticed a couple of inches of difference.

"I'd say a 26B" Alex commented, "but we can try a 28A if it's too tight on the back, the cup volume would be about the same" she said. "28B if both feel a bit small" she added, removing the tape and giving Sarah some space. "I have one favor to ask of you though. Your shirt is loose and opaque enough, can you please avoid putting that thing back on until we get you something?" Alex asked. "It pains me to see you restrained like that, so I can't even begin to imagine how it feels on you. You are safe here with me, don't worry" Alex commented. "We'll make sure to pick a few cute ones and you can wear one of them out of the shop" she nodded.
 
Sarah stiffened when she felt Alex wrap the tape around her waist. She looked away in embarrassment. When Alex mentioned her bandsize. She was actually a little ashamed of just how skinny she was. Unhealthy habits to cope with her depression and dysphoria leading to her stunted physical growth. Sure it made her more feminine, but it was still the result of stupid behavior on her part.

She gasped softly as the band was wrapped around her breasts. "S-so, twenty-six or twenty-eight? Sounds good." At her request, she looked at the sports bra, nodding at her advice. "I won't." She picked it up and tucked it into her purse, reaching her her shirt soon after. She worked on covering herself, a little more at ease, but still a little uncomfortable. Once her shirt was back in place and buttoned, she collected her purse, giving Alex a smile. "S-so, on to the fun part then?" It felt weird not wearing the sports bra, making her a little self conscious. Though, she was also excited about finally picking out her first real bras.
 
Alex happily nodded when Sarah accepted to go out without that torture device of a bra she had been wearing, since even if it would be for a short bit more she didn't want to see her friend in pain. After all it was precisely that level of discomfort the one that pushed her to reach Alex despite how shy she could be, so she wanted to prevent further suffering. Maybe going braless could be somewhat distracting, specially for her that would be very self aware of her budding breasts, but it was better than squeezing them in that prison. "Fun part it is" Alex confirmed once Sarah was dressed. It was strange that she thought of something like buying cutesy underwear as fun, but Alex had never really not an interest on that nor a friend to go shopping with, so even she was excited about the idea.

"I'm not the most knowledgeable person about fancy underwear" Alex warned, "but look at all the things we can pick from" she said, almost paying attention to the store for the first time, since when they entered she had been quite focused on their task. "Ah... I don't know if I'd dare with bustiers and corsets..." Alex admitted, as she set eyes upon those. Her mind catalogued sport underwear as almost outerwear depending on the situation, and cute or practical underwear as something private, while outright lingerie was out of the question. It was too embarrassing for her, so unless Sarah got interested she would keep away from those. "You'll need new sport bras for gym, ones that fit" Alex commented, "but those are easy, lets take a look for stuff that's more everyday-like..." she suggested, glancing at some garments she had never considered for herself.

"Bralettes aren't that supportive... but they won't pressure you either" she said. "And they are very, very cute" Alex said, wondering how nicely those mostly lacy garments would look on Sarah. On herself... she probably was too busty for those and would look weird, at least in her mind. Lace and shapely abs didn't seem to mingle in her self image.
 
Sarah walked out from the dressing room, trying not to focus on her unconfined breasts beneath her shirt. She walked very close to Alex, now more consciously examining her options. Even if her primary concern was comfort and support, she couldn't help but look at each item wondering what Mike would think of them. "Yeah, I don't think I could wear anything like that." She replied, sharing Alex's hesitation towards the sexier items.

The bralettes definitely looked more her speed, especially with a matching pair of panties. It was evident in how her face lit up as she looked at them. She hesitantly touched the soft lacy fabric, enjoying how it felt under her fingers. "These are really cute, and they look so comfy." She was blushing faintly as she imagined modeling a matching set for Mike, wondering if he would find them appealing. She carefully picked out a few matching pairs that she could afford. "So, a sports bra for gym and then maybe a push-up for date nights." She mused quietly.
 
"Oooh, matching pairs" Alex nodded, seeing clearly in Sarah's face how she not only found something she liked and could feel comfortable wearing, but that also started to have fun with it. "They do look comfy" Alex said, noticing how Sarah got a bit of color on her face. "And yeah, I'm sure he would like them if he saw you on those" she said, poking a bit of fun, as she was no stranger to what she thought Sarah could be thinking. "Do you think I could..." she blushed herself, looking for something that could fit her more generous 34D frame. "I can't, lace just doesn't suit me" Alex said, not feeling as brave as Sarah was.

With her broad and muscular back, those abs she was so proud of... lacy cutesy underwear wouldn't suit her, there was no way. Focusing on Sarah, as it was her day and wanted to support her, she soon shifted gears away from her own inadequacy. "You don't need a push up, but I guess that for a date night it could help to look even more amazing on some dresses" Alex said. She was basically guessing, as not only had she never wore a push up bra, but neither a dress. She really was the worst person to ask those girly questions, as she sulked a bit, but still tried to project a chipper exterior to be there, to be strong for her friend that needed her.
 
Sarah smiled at Alex's approval of her selection. When she mentioned Michael's expected approval, Sarah stood up straight with wide eyes. Her face growing an even deeper red. "I... Uh... I wasn't. I mean, I didn't... Um..." She closed her eyes, taking a deep breath. Alex's quiet question was a welcome distraction from her own embarrassment. She looked over at her friend, studying her for a moment. Even her attempt to smile and appear strong for her was noticed.

As she had shown many times before, Sarah was very observant. She understood other's feelings more than her own in most cases. "Alex?" She placed her hand on her shoulder. "Alex, I think you should get something. I mean it. It would look better on you than me anyway. I really believe that." She smiled softly. "I know how important athleticism and building yourself is important, but there's femininity there too. You're really pretty. I see it. Obviously, Austin sees it." She smiled widely at that. "It's not a compromise. You can be both strong a cute. And I think you are."
 
"Hmm?" Alex reacted distracted to Sarah's friendly hand on her shoulder. "Ah... err..." the support and compliments of her friend caught her unaware, embarrassing her a bit and clearly throwing off her balance. "It was supposed to be your day, not mine" she shook her head. "Fine, I'll do it, but with one condition" Alex said with a smile that betrayed she have had an idea. "We really have to stop saying to each other that stuff looks better on the other" she sighed. "We are both awesome and gorgeous, period" she said, amused. "Compliments are cool, but lets stop comparing to each other, okay? I know full well how guilty of that I am" she admitted.

"And don't get me started on Austin" she said amused. "He certainly sees it now, or he better do, but it took a while to awaken him to the idea" Alex admitted, looking around for something fitting. "That date night... you'd have laughed if you saw his face when he finally understood, he can be such a goof sometimes..." she said with a smile. "A lovely goof..." she added in a whisper. "And I won't pry, but I'm glad that the date with Mike went as fine as it seems it went. I was distracted that night for obvious reasons, but you seemed beaming-oh!" Alex interrupted her sentence, noticing something that she liked.

It was a set of bra and panties in warm yellow, a tone that was somewhat difficult to wear but that seemed to play brilliantly with her tanned skin, even when the garments where just in her hands instead of on her. It was a lacy whimsical one, quite sheer in parts but it still covered with a modicum of decency what was supposed to be covering. "I think I could wear this one" she said, finding it on her size. "If we end up in your or my home I'll even model it for you so I can get some feedback. I think it's only fair after the measuring..." she said with a smile. "Anything else?" Alex wondered.
 
Sarah blushed faintly when Alex insisted they stopped comparing themselves to each other. She was much more guilty of that than she would ever freely admit to. She nodded regardless, smiling sheepishly. "Deal." When she spoke about Austin, Sarah couldn't help but smile a little wider. "Austin really does mean well, but he's a bit of a space case." She bit her lip when she mentioned the date. Sarah could remember exactly why she looked the way she did. Momentarily she remembered the feeling of Michael's toned body against hers, his fingers in her hair, and his lips exploring her skin. It elicited a soft sigh from the girl. She was shaken from her thoughts by Alex having found something.

She followed her over, looking at the item she picked out. The yellow was a bold choice, one that Sarah would never attempt with her pale complexion. However, against Alex's tan skin, it was perfect. "I think it's perfect! But of course, I don't mind if you want to try it on at my place or something." She smiled happily. It was truly heartwarming that Alex felt comfortable enough around her to even consider modeling new underwear. "Hmm? Oh. Uh. A sports bra for gym." It didn't take her long to find one she liked, the simple piece being a light blue color. "Let's see... Then I promised you lunch. We can hit the food court!" She spoke of getting food almost too excitedly.
 
Happy about making some progress not only with Sarah's self image and acceptance but also her own misgivings, Alex was beaming when she found an outfit that really suited her and that Sarah also approved. "Yeah, we can try our findings later on" Alex agreed, not exactly accustomed to those sorts of girly moments since she didn't get out much unless it was a sports related thing or with Mike, but willing to try. She wasn't specially awkward or conscious about showing her body to Sarah, or anyone else for that matter, so that wasn't a problem for her.

"Nice pick, sure it will be more comfortable than the last one" Alex nodded as Sarah grabbed a sports bra and headed to the cashier before getting out. "Come on, lets get into the toilet first" Alex pointed to public ones in the mall. "I'm all about getting the promised lunch at the food court, but first lets make sure you get a comfortable bra in before moving around" she counseled. "There is nothing wrong on going without, but I prefer if you feel more comfortable and get to don one of your new ones" she added. Going to the toilet with Sarah, Alex could make sure she could put one of her bras in a stall without getting disturbed and feeling safe, so that way she could be more comfortable during lunch.
 
Sarah awkwardly paid for her underwear, muttering a quiet "thank you" to the cashier before making a hasty escape from the store. She followed Alex to the bathroom, nodding at her instructions. She had to agree with her, without a bra on, Sarah was incredibly self-conscious. She ducked into one of the stalls, making sure to lock it behind her. Some awkward shuffling and undressing later and she was carefully sliding into one of her new bralettes. She had to take a moment to admire herself, looking down at her bust with a smile.

A few moments later, and she exited the stall, once more covered with her shirt. "There. That's better." She looked over to Alex with a smile before quickly and briefly hugging the girl. "Thank you so much for helping me, today." She grinned as she pulled away. "Come on! Lunch is the least I could do. Besides, I'm starving."
 
It was terribly cute seeing Sarah escape the Victoria's Secret shop like a death trap, or follow her obediently so she could get changed into a more comfortable bra after wearing nothing under her clothes, but it was also inspiring. Each step forward was a formidable advance, but also had to take a lot of courage from her, so Alex couldn't help but admire her friend. Being a bit watchful so she could prevent anything stupid from happening, Alex waited for her to change, and couldn't help but feel the contagious smile on Sarah's face, a bit enthused with the selection a bit calm now that she could feel safer and more comfortable.

"No worries, that's what friends are for" Alex shrugged. "You even managed to help me too in the meantime" she added, casting a sidelong glance at her own Victoria's Secret bag with the yellow outfit in there. Would Austin like it? She was more confident now, although it was still a bit weird thinking of her with such clothes she was no longer scared nor awkward, so Alex was hopeful that Austin would love her in that. There was also the matter on where and when show it to him since it was a bit risque and they haven't gotten too far yet, still getting accustomed to the new definition of their relationship.

"Oh yeah, lets eat something" Alex nodded quickly. She was hungry too, the young athlete had quite the appetite and while living on her home Sarah had already seen how much food she could eat on a daily basis.
