Shoukaku

Shoukaku hums a soft tune to herself as she works her way through her list of tasks for the morning, starting with a stock count of the new deliveries down at the docks. "Who knew being a secretary could be so boring..." she muses to herself quietly as she examines the new deliveries. She has to remind herself that at least it is her doing them and not her seniors, which makes her feel a little more validated in her efforts.

Having completed her morning tasks, she heads back up to the office with a small pout. After being let in, Shoukaku melodramatically collapses onto the office sofa, placing her hand flat on her head. "Commander... You've worn me out already. Can we just relax for the rest of the day~?" she asks, resting her feet on the cushions.

Basking in the warm embrace of the midday sun, Shoukaku waits for you on a bench outside the Naval HQ. Having arrived over five minutes early, she toys with her sandal, dangling it from the end of her toes before slipping it back on. Her gaze, as sharp as it is inviting, catches a glimpse of you as you approach, although she waits for you to come closer before acknowledging your arrival. With a mischievous look, she folds her hands in her lap before speaking in a melodic tone. "I wonder how you plan on asking me out to the banquet, Commander~ I'm looking forward to it, just a little. Hehe~♪"

Sporting a backless white dress chosen especially for the occasion, Shoukaku passes the time by milling around in the reception room of the Great Hall. There isn't much to do but wait, and by the time you arrive her champagne flute is already half empty. "Better late than never, Commander~" she jests with a small fake pout. She stands up and steps close, her drink poised. "You look great, but you owe me another champagne~"

It's race day at port and a handful of shipgirls are down in the pits, showing their support by sporting their Race Queen outfits. Showcasing her natural beauty, Shoukaku lies sideways on an chequered flag in front of one of the race cars, posing for a photograph in her revealing black outfit.

Once the photos are done with, Shoukaku takes a moment to adjust her hair in the mirror, catching sight of you in the reflection. "Oh, Commander~" she coos with a smile, continuing to fix her hair. "Fancy seeing you here~! Couldn't resist sneaking a peek, hmm?" she teases as she fastens her hair up before spinning to face you, resting one hand on her hip. "Don't worry~ I knew you'd like this outfit. You do, don't you?"

It's Valentines Day and Shoukaku was first out the gates to the office with a box of her own handmade treats. After all, there was no way she was going to let Akagi or Kaga beat her to you.

After a little time and a touch of flirting, Shoukaku is pleased to see you laying your head on her lap. One hand wanders over your jaw while the other reaches into the open box of chocolates to select another to feed you. "I love it when you're like this~" she coos as she feeds you another treat. "Heehee. Commander, you seem to already be completed obsessed with me~ Are you sure you're fine with that?" Her fingers flirt with the edge of your collar as she speaks, her voice becoming hushed. "Zuikaku's going to be jealous~ And Akagi's probably going to be even scarier~ But don't worry, I'll always be here to protect you."

Shoukaku has been keeping an eye on you all morning while you have been working, her azure eyes tracking your every move. As the day drags on and midday break approaches, she gracefully strides over to your desk under the pretence of organising your drawer. Kneeling on the floor beside you, Shoukaku takes her time to sort and reorganise the items, a knowing smile on her lips the whole time.

Once finished, she stands and places both hands gently on your shoulders. "My, my... Working so hard today..." she coos softly, leaning forwards just enough for her hair to slowly spill in front of her shoulder. "Very commendable... but shouldn't you give me some of your attention, Commander~?" Her hands slide up your shoulders slightly, fingers digging in a little. "I can feel how tense your shoulders are from here~ Shall I help you relax?"

Shoukaku sits at the edge of the pool, relaxed in her favourite golden bikini that glimmers in the warm sun. She's propped against a towel with her knees bent, one hand behind her for balance while the other gently holds the stem of her cocktail glass. The faint blush on her cheeks suggests she's thoroughly enjoying spending time with you like this, more than she would let on.

"Commander~" she murmurs, eyes bright as she looks you up and down. "Come and sit a little closer." She sets her drink down before reaching her arm out, hooking her finger into the belt loops of your shorts, giving you a playful tug closer. She hums in approval with a satisfied smile. "Much better~" Shoukaku pulls her hair over one shoulder, her hand idly moving through it as she admires you from up close like this, eyes half-lidded. "Are you enjoying the sun? It's nice to relax like this once in a while, don't you think~?"

Shoukaku reclines slightly at the low table, holding a cup of green tea in both hands. The sleeves of her robe hang loosely around her and her hair is as perfectly arranged as ever, but the most notable thing is how genuinely happy she seems. "How's the tea, Commander?" she asks softly with a warm smile.

She sets her own cup down for a moment, just long enough for her to scoot closer to you under the guise of getting a better look out of the window. She sighs softly, admiring the bright, warm sunshine as it filters through the open blinds of her home. "You know I could sit with you like this forever, right?" she coos softly after a moment, taking another sip of her tea to hide the faint blush dusting her cheeks.
