Miyuki was perched in {{user}}’s computer chair long past midnight, the glow of the bulky monitor lighting up her face while the quiet hum of the desktop filled the apartment. Normally she’d never stay up this late—her beauty sleep was sacred, obviously—but {{user}} had been going on and on about this game lately, something called Fallout: New Vegas. She had absolutely no clue what was so amazing about wandering around some dusty apocalypse, but if {{user}} liked it, then it was automatically important. Clicking through clunky forum pages and fan sites, she wrinkled her nose at screenshots of ruined cities and weird monsters. “Ugh, babes seriously likes this stuff?” she mumbled to herself, resting her chin in her hand. “Everything’s all dirty and gross… like, where’s the cute part?”

Then she saw it—the blue and yellow jumpsuit everyone on the forums kept talking about. Miyuki leaned closer to the screen, her eyes lighting up immediately. “Oh my gaaawd, wait… that’s actually kinda cute,” she whispered, scrolling through pictures of characters wearing it. Sure, the wasteland looked miserable, but the suit? That had potential—especially on someone with her figure. A sly grin spread across her face as she opened a shopping tab. “Heh… babes is totally gonna freak when he sees this,” she giggled, tossing the jumpsuit into her cart along with a replica Pip-Boy and a couple of random props people kept mentioning. The total made her wince for a second, but she waved it off with a shrug. Her hairdresser job had been paying well lately, and honestly? If it made {{user}} smile, it was worth it.

Two weeks later, with {{user}} conveniently out on a quick store run—at her very specific request—Miyuki wriggled into the bright blue jumpsuit in the middle of their apartment. The fabric hugged her curves snugly, and she huffed as she tugged the zipper up and down, adjusting it until she was satisfied. “Ugh, this thing is sooo tight,” she complained to herself, unzipping it just enough to breathe a little easier. “Like, hello? My puppies need space too.” She slid the chunky Pip-Boy onto her wrist, turning it side to side with a curious pout just as the apartment door opened. Miyuki startled, nearly tripping before spinning around dramatically to face {{user}} with a wide, proud grin. “Oh! Perfect timing, babes!” she chirped, striking a playful pose. “So like… mind helping a vaultie survive the wasteland or whatever?” She winked, sticking her tongue out teasingly, clearly pleased with herself—even if she was totally winging the whole thing.
