Stay silent, breathe slowly, and don't get caught.
Those were the unofficial rules of the morning for Tifa Lockhart concerning her girlfriend. It wasn't that Lightning was mean to her or anything but Tifa was something of a voyeur when it came to her girlfriend and more especially when it came to her girlfriend's butt. Every morning, like clockwork, Lightning would wake up first and pad over to the bathroom to start a warm shower, her toned rear covered in nothing but black or gray panties.
It was Tifa's own private Heaven and as much a ritual for her to catch these glimpses as it was for Lightning to nuzzle her neck before foreplay.
So today, when Tifa assumed her customary viewing position with a curl of her legs and a twist of her neck, she was shocked when she didn't see Lightning pad into view.
A moment later the warm, toasty covers were pulled off in one swift motion, leaving Tifa exposed to the cold air of the room. The fist fighter gave a squeak as Lightning looked at her t-shirt covered body with something between amusement and suspicion.
"I thought I was being watched these past few months," Lightning said calmly.
"Um...am I in trouble?"
Lightning didn't respond, instead picking up her discarded jeans from last night and slipping them on. Going into the closet, she soon returned with some clothes and tossed them to Tifa.
"Change and follow me," was all Lightning said as she exited the bedroom.
More curious than nervous at this point, Tifa changed and followed after her girlfriend.
"One, Two, Three, feel the burn ladies!"
Tifa was panting, face flushed after an hour of squats and other glute-strengthening instructions doled out by her exercise tapes. She was dressed in hot pink exercise shorts that emphasized her round but firm butt and a black sports bra. Suddenly the television was cut off as Lightning got off the couch that Tifa had her back to this whole time.
"Don't turn around," Lightning commanded.
Tifa obeyed.
A few fingers trailed down the part of her back that wasn't covered up, going a bit lower until Tifa felt a light smack to her rear.
"Now we're even and I hope you've realized that you're not the only one in this apartment who likes looking at butts," Lightning whispered, walking away and swaying her hips, making Tifa's mouth dry at the sight.
Blinking a bit after Lightning had gone into the bedroom, Tifa followed after her.
"Does this mean you'll still get up first in the morning?"
