Toadette's Story: Book 2

Chapter 76 - Hot Winter Sailing

After a week of staying in the smaller Toad Town, Sofia was set to return to her more luxurious life. However, she couldn’t help but smile as she saw just how neatly she’d tidied up her cousin’s place. On the ground floor, she gave the younger Toad a quick hug.

“See you on my next birthday,” Minh said, her expression still bright.

Sofia rubbed Minh’s cap. “Ride the Excess Express one day.”

“And as for you, Jazz…” Minh embraced her smaller cousin, this time ensuring that she would only kiss her on the cheek to avoid a saliva invasion of the mouth. “Remember you can always call me if you’re having problems.”

“Like she doesn’t know that,” Sofia mumbled.

“Just saying, it’s not helpful when she bottles things up. You listening, Jazz?”

Jasmin nodded. “Bye, Minh-Minh…”

“What’s with that quivering in your voice?” Minh chuckled, rubbing the girl’s hair. “I’m gonna visit you guys this year like always.”

“Perhaps if I’m feeling crazy, we’ll come back here during summer vacation or something,” Sofia said, grabbing Jasmin by her hand. “Until next time, Minh-Minh. Hey, make sure to vet your man before hooking up with him, you got it?”

“Totally.” Minh’s smile struggled to maintain itself.

And out the building they went, with Sofia’s perky look slipping for just a second.

***

While the cousins boarded the bus in the central part of Toad Town, Toadette boarded a different one on the northern end, right in front of Princess Peach’s castle. She let out a sigh as she made herself comfortable in the back seat. Her mind swirled with the various adventures she could have on this journey to Lavalava Island.

He’s probably battling a lava-soaked Piranha Plant or managed to freeze himself in a volcano, she thought. And yet I’m the dumbass.

She glanced at her boots, a small smile spreading across her face.

It’s not greedy to expect a reward for saving an idiot’s life, is it?

Just then, her phone vibrated in her pocket.

“Morning, Toadette,” came Minh’s voice on the other end. “Sofia and Jasmin just left—”

“Great news.”

There was a moment of silence before Minh spoke again. “You wanna come over?”

“Winter business slow again?” Toadette looked out the window. “Sorry, but I’ve got a moron to rescue.”

“Hmm?”

“Your little captain buddy? Remember him? He got into something on Lavalava. And instead of letting his crew go there and steal all the glory, I decided I’d jump in.”

“And the princess let you? Isn’t this dangerous?”

“After all the craziness we’ve been through together—deserts, drowning and some of the stuff before I worked for Peach—you think I’m scared of a little lava? Besides, I don’t feel like waiting until spring to have some outdoor warmth.”

“Why not go there with his guys then? You know, all of you together.”

“Because…” Toadette continued to stare at her shoes. “Because I’m the main character of this story, that’s why. Oops, sounds like we’re breaking up! I can’t hear you, Minh!”

She hung up, snickering. Envisioning Captain Toad needing to suck on her toes for hours just as a thank-you present made the rest of the trip a joy. A long drive later, she happily stood at the docks of Toad Town. There, she could see the boat with a flag proclaiming it as “exclusively for Princess Peach’s staff”.

Yet she also saw an uninvited guest panting, puffs of frost escaping her mouth.

“You have absolutely no confidence in me, do you?” Toadette scoffed.

“I need to know you’re coming back home in one piece.” Minh rushed to Toadette, her oversized bag bouncing with each step. She then pulled her in for a kiss. Toadette instinctively tried to pull away, embarrassment filling her cheeks despite the location being so empty. Yet Minh’s love won the battle, for she managed to slip her tongue into Toadette’s mouth, sending a gross shudder down her spine. Minh pulled back while licking her own lips. “Girl, you’re tasty…”

“Ugh, and you’re disgusting,” Toadette groaned, spitting like there was poison in her mouth. “But I guess it wouldn’t be a real adventure without you, huh?”

“Nope. And after all this, you’re definitely gonna need a foot rub.”

True. But you’re not the one I want to give it to me, Minh.

The girls climbed aboard. For a boat specifically under Peach’s command, it had only the bare minimum of space. The living quarters, excluding the captain’s room, were about the size of a baby’s bedroom. It was times like these that Toadette and Minh were thankful for their mushroom heritage; their naturally shorter statures allowed them to better navigate the narrow space, and it spared them the claustrophobia that could overwhelm humans or other races.

Toadette ascended to the top bunk, while Minh settled into the bottom. Within minutes, the boat pulled away from the docks. The icy waves crashed against it fiercely, leaving the Toads to seldom have a still moment.

Minh pulled off her boot, debating on keeping her socks on due to the temperature.

“Sucks not being able to talk to people about our arrangement.”

“You referring to Miss Nosy? It’s not like it’s any of her business.” Toadette tossed her shoes off, taking in her own aroma. “So what if I wanna fuck you?”

Hearing those words come from Toadette never got any less strange for Minh.

“I’m supposed to be the picture of purity—the sweet, innocent girl of Toad Town. I practically moved here with that image.”

“I get not wanting your foot thing to be public, but casual sex? I mean—”

“You’re a girl, Toadette.” Minh paced around the small room. “If I had a penis, I could sleep around with ten different people, and everyone would see me as a hero. Just ask Captain Toad. But as a girl, if I’m seen having sex with more than one partner, suddenly I’m the nastiest chick in town. Just like that, from angel to demon.”

“Oh.” Toadette rubbed the back of her head. “Yeah, that’s a problem.”

“Even if it were cool, it’s a domino effect waiting to happen. Being a sex addict as a girl is already a mess, but having very specific fetishes—fetishes frowned upon in the kingdom in which we live—is a whole new bag of worms. And it’s not a bag that I intend to open.”

Toadette waved her hand. “You don’t have to worry about me blabbing about your lifestyle.”

Minh stopped her pacing and looked at her friend.

“Amazing,” she whispered to herself.

“Considering your cousin’s got a mouth, she’s the last person we want finding out about this.”

“If only she wasn’t always asking me about my love life…”

“You’re grown up now. All the more reason to get her off your back.” Toadette scrunched her nyloned toes so that Minh’s nose and lips would be stuck under them. “Besides, aren’t things more exciting when they’re done secretly?”

Minh moaned, Toadette’s light scent invading her nostrils. She then pulled back and sucked on Toadette’s toes, to the younger Toad’s delight. Toadette clenched her sheets and bit her lip, letting out a slight moan.

“I can suck harder if you want,” Minh whispered, now slobbering between Toadette’s toes.

“Sure…”

Giggling, Minh climbed up to the bed and lay on her side, sucking Toadette’s toes from a more comfortable position. All the while, Toadette enjoyed the pleasure of seeing Minh’s socked toes scrunch. Minh seemed to intentionally move them rhythmically. For a girl who lacked Toadette’s flexibility, Toadette was impressed with just how deeply her feet could curl.

“You know… I can suck on your toes too if you want me to,” Toadette offered, her voice softening a touch.

“I’m glad you said that. Because there’s something I’ve wanted to ask you.”

“Hmm?”

Minh kissed Toadette’s big toe, then moved so that her head was close to Toadette’s. She caressed her face while her feet touched Toadette’s.

“Ever since Mushroom City, you’ve been getting more and more comfortable with feet,” she whispered. “Just off the top of my head, let’s see… You ate popcorn from between my toes, you worshipped my feet in the arcade, you tried to eat a marshmallow from under my toes, you had no problem sucking on my feet so I could produce more milk for the festival, and you had a blast with me licking you and your family’s feet during the festival.”

Toadette blinked slowly. But Minh cut her off before she could speak.

“I also remember you telling me you loved my feet before you got poisoned. At first I thought it was just the poison making you loopy, but…” Her voice deepened. “And I’d be lying if I said the wallpaper on your phone didn’t also make me curious.”

“This is a lot of build-up, but I have no clue what you’re getting at.”

“I told you about how if you keep messing with all this foot stuff, you’re gonna go deeper down the rabbit hole.”

Minh pulled Toadette closer, their pelvises and caps now pressing against each other. Toadette let out a soft moan as Minh applied pressure to her feet.

“Have I cursed you, baby?”

Slowly, Toadette shook her head. However, all this provoked was a wide smile from Minh, who immediately dove in for another kiss.

“I get it,” she said, stroking Toadette’s face. “It wasn’t easy for me accepting that it was part of me.”

“I just told you no,” a confused Toadette responded.

“But your body’s telling me yes.” Minh’s hands found themselves on Toadette’s groin, digging into her pants to discover if there was moisture. Her grin grew more intense once her fingers found a nice stain inside Toadette’s panties.

More than certain of her suspicions, Minh slowly removed her socks and returned to her position near Toadette’s soaked feet.

“If you wanna suck these toes, do it.” She fanned them out. “Suck ‘em.”

Toadette’s breathing became stilted. But her heart was throbbing so hard against her chest. Her fists curled, her lips trembled, her eyes shut—everything was tensing.

A wet sound was followed by a series of slimy noises.

Toadette plopped Minh’s fat toes in her mouth, this time with no filter to her moaning. She let out a slight whimper as she sucked on the toes for dear life. Minh’s laughter only encouraged her to suck on them hard.

“There, was that so hard?” the florist moaned, all while licking her friend’s soles.

Toadette drooled all over Minh’s smallest toes. It was then that she realised the source of the flavour she tasted. It wasn’t just the sweat from Minh’s sprinting to get to the docks; the faintest layer of dirt decorated her soles and toes. Dirt had previously caused Toadette to puke, and yet this tiny detail now intensified her hunger, making her lick with further gusto. The rich taste kept her drawn to Minh’s feet like bees to nectar.

The sensation of getting her own feet licked at the same time forced her to shudder. It once again brought back memories of the toy box situation, only even better without the series of electric shocks.

Minh felt an energetic spike that she hadn’t since blurting out her foot fetish to Toadette. Knowing both girls now had a dirty secret, one that was Minh’s own fault in Toadette’s case, drove her to put her all into worshipping Toadette’s feet. Once finished drenching the soles and sucking her toes, she began to lap at the tops of her feet like a dog.

Toadette’s feet began to shake.

“Oh…” She leaned back as she felt herself beginning to cum. Her pussy throbbed and spasmed, with her juices seeping through her panties and staining her bottoms. “Oh fuck!”

“That didn’t take long,” Minh said with a giggle. She now darted her tongue between Toadette’s toes. “Feels good?”

Toadette’s only response was a whimpery moan. She kept Minh’s drenched feet in front of her face, simply admiring their plump form. As she fell from her dopamine high, she stared at the ceiling with broken breaths.

This is gonna be fun, Minh thought, planting a final kiss on Toadette’s foot before dropping to the floor.

As she threw herself a party in her mind for having successfully converted Toadette to the dark side, she glanced out the window and noticed the grey clouds. The girls had been having such a fun time that they hadn’t even noticed the storm around them. Rain on its own wouldn’t have bothered Minh much, but they were dealing with more than water. Hailstones crashed down, transforming the already rough waters into a mess of waves and aquatic explosions. They hit the boat with enough force that it sounded like somebody was always knocking.

“Whoa!” Minh gripped the bed frame tightly as the boat tilted dangerously to one side. “Captain Toad better appreciate that we’re putting our lives on the line for him.”

Toadette remained silent.

“Y’know, with all the stuff we might get into, you should totally demand a reward from that boy after we find him,” Minh suggested. “Maybe…”

“I already want him to do exactly what you’re thinking,” Toadette mumbled. She found herself still unable to process the fact that Minh was now aware of her secret. It took Toadette over ten years to find out that Minh was in love with her feet, and yet it took Minh less than a single year. A sign of embarrassment if there ever was one for the pink-capped mushroom girl.

“Ooh, I like the sound of that. Heh, I wanna see who else I can indoctrinate into the religion of foot fetishism.”

“Good luck getting him to care about that stuff. He’s stubborn.”

“Wait a minute, Toadette. You telling me you told him about this thing before you told me?”

“He…” Toadette’s embarrassment doubled. “He found out in the same month I got it.”

“Wow, now I feel stupid giving you the benefit of the doubt. But if you want less people to start catching onto your new fetish, I should give you some pointers on how to go about covering it up in public.” Minh licked her lips, staring at the bottoms of her own feet. “As of now, you and Captain Toad are the only ones to have caught me.”

“No idea how more haven’t caught you. Like all the people you’ve slept with.”

“Who said each and every one of them has no clue?”

“What? You blackmailed them or something?”

“I refer to it as ‘negotiating’. That’s how the world works, Toadette. John Toad promises and is paid not to tell a single soul about how I slept with him, and I don’t reveal to the entire town how he begged me to twist his pee-pee up like a balloon animal.”

“Ah, I guess blackmail does work in this— What the actual fuck.”

“And people have the nerve to say loving pretty feet is the craziest thing.” Minh grinned. “Don’t worry. His thing worked like normal in about two weeks.”

The rest of the voyage remained bumpy, even as night fell, and the girls were trying to catch some sleep. The bed shook every time hail hit the boat. An exhausted Toadette sighed, wishing she could block out the bothersome noise and fall into slumber. Meanwhile, Minh just stared into the darkness of the room, her brown eyes refusing to close for a second.

“What do you like about my feet, Toadette?”

“Man, I was just about to fall asleep…”

“Oopsie.”

“Lemme think…” Toadette let out a long yawn. “They’re so meaty, plumpy, spongy… They’re like pillows.”

“Huh. Interesting, ‘cause everything about your feet that I love is the complete opposite of what you said. I wish I had them as long and skinny as you do.”

“I’d rather have a little meatiness than feeling like a complete skeleton.”

“You’d better prepare to be teased some more, Toadette. I wanna find everything that makes you tick. Maybe some shoeplay action.”

“Whatever the hell that means. Look, they’re pretty. I mean it. You have no idea how awkward it feels saying all of this to you, but—”

“If only you knew how excited I am. It’s like I have my own little pupil who I get to train. This is gonna be so rad, Toadette. Like, you’re gonna come out knowing a million little things you never would’ve ever… Toadette?”

The softest snoring filled the top bunk as Toadette leaned on her side. Minh simply smiled, pulling the blankets over her bust.

“Night-night, Toadette.”

“Ladies, we have arrived at your destination.”

Minh rubbed the crust out her eyes and stirred. Once Toadette touched the ground, the florist’s attention was caught. She focused hard on her best friend, making sure to track whatever Toadette was staring at. In this case, Toadette had her eyes locked onto Minh’s sock-covered feet for a solid two seconds.

“Just so you know, I’m not sucking any poison out your feet if you get bitten by an M. Bush,” Toadette warned.

“Noted, Captain Toad.”

Toadette stuck her hand out the window. “We could go in sandals for comfort, but I’m playing it safe and sticking with my good ol’ stinky flats.”

“Delicious choice.” Minh pulled out a pair of vibrant flip-flops from her bag. “Smelly toes can be fun, but not when they’re so cramped and trapped.”

Toadette chuckled as she glanced at Minh’s bare feet. Once she looked back up, Minh had a mischievous grin and started to wiggle her toes. Toadette felt a flutter in her stomach.

“You gonna be okay for this mission?” Minh asked.

“Of course.” Toadette adjusted her glasses. “They’re just feet. I won’t be thinking about rubbing them or anything when our priority is rescuing the idiot.”

“Careful. I remember making tons of mistakes because I would let feet distract me at the wrong times, especially in fourth grade. Ugh, that first year of finding out my love for this body part was a nightmare.”

“Good thing I’m nineteen and not nine.” Toadette exited onto the soft grass, letting the mild warmth of Lavalava grace her body. “Let’s find our dear Toady.”

“Toady?”

“Yeah, Toady. You think I’m gonna call him Toad the entire time?”

“That’s what his mom calls him, he told me,” Minh chuckled. “You’re gonna make him mad with that, but by all means, go for it.”

Author's Note:
Whoo-hoo, Toadette no longer has to sneak her fetish around Minh!

I went back and forth on this decision a lot. In fact, once the arc’s final drafts began, I went in expecting Toadette to have kept her fetish a secret until the very end. While it could’ve been interesting to see her hide it from Minh in their friends-with-benefits stage, I felt we already got enough of that in the second arc.

And now the floodgates are open for what Toadette can do to her best friend’s feet.
