Vanitha reached behind her back, her fingertips finding the familiar clasp of her bra. She paused, aware of Summer’s gaze on her skin, then slowly unhooked each catch with deliberate precision.
The elastic released its tension against her ribs, sending a whisper of sensation across her back. She rolled her shoulders forward, letting the straps slide down her arms like water, the fabric grazing her nipples as it fell away from her body.
The bra dangled from her fingertips for a suspended moment before she released it to join the growing collection on the bench.
They stood next to each other in the mirror, bare to the waist, with their sweet breasts fully exposed, in their skirts.
Summer turned her head. She looked at Vanitha’s breasts first in the mirror and then in the room, her chin turning the small amount it took to look at the real thing and not the reflection.
“Vanitha.”
“Don’t, dear.”
“I have to.”
“Then say it fast.”
Summer laughed. The laugh moved her breasts a small amount on her chest. Vanitha watched it move them. She felt her own mouth go up at one corner.
“Your nipples are the fair and so bright! I thought Indian nipples are of color of dark chocolate.”
“Hahah… well I am Tamil *****, we have fair skin”
“Well, they are so cute! Small, perky and young and perfect.
Vanitha laughed. She felt the heat come up her throat. She did not try to hide it.
“Stop, dear.”
“I am not stopping.” Summer turned the full way, her shoulder bumping Vanitha’s soft. “Look at them in the mirror. They are perfect. Small and high and the color is. God, Vanitha. The color is pink like a flower.”
“Summer.”
“Pale pink. Not brown. Not dark. Pink.” Summer’s eyes were on her chest in the mirror. “Ashok is a lucky man.”
Vanitha did not answer that. Her hand lifted, hovering inches from Summer’s chest, then fell away.
“And you,” she said softly, her eyes tracing the curves before her.
“The perfect roundness, the blush of pink.. like something from a Renaissance painting.” Vanitha appreciated Summer’s beauty.
They both looked their breasts and Summer said.. “omg we look like sisters. Do you think our breasts weight the same?”
Summer’s laugh came soft next to her ear.
“Let me see.”
Summer turned her body the full way. She stepped the small half step that closed the space between them and she brought her hands up, slow, and she cupped the underside of Vanitha’s breasts in her palms. Her hands were warm. The palms were soft. The thumbs rested on the sides, not on the nipples, a small careful distance kept.
Vanitha’s breath went out of her.
“You breasts are same size.” Summer’s voice was small. She lifted her hands a small amount, weighing, the way a woman weighed fruit at the market. “Let’s see we weigh the same.”
Vanitha looked down. Summer’s fair hands under her own fair-gold skin. The small lift of her own breast in Summer’s palm. The nipple small and pink above the edge of Summer’s thumb.
“Do you want to weight mine?” She asked looking at Vanitha.
Vanitha brought her hands up. She was slow about it. She was slow because she had not done this before, not with a woman, not with anyone but herself in her own bathroom after a shower, and her palms went against the soft of Summer’s breasts from underneath the way Summer’s palms had gone against hers.
Summer’s breath caught, small.
Vanitha felt the weight of them in her hands. She felt the warm of the skin. She felt the small pebble of the nipple at the top of her palm where the nipple had hardened already against the morning air.
“Oh.”
“What?” Summer’s voice was soft.
“They are the same. Exactly.”
“I told you.”
“I thought yours were bigger at the boutique.”
“The lace. The lace made them look bigger.”
“No. It was the light. The light at the boutique lied.”
Summer laughed, one small breath, and her breasts moved in Vanitha’s hands with the laugh. Vanitha felt the small soft shake in her palms. Her own mouth went up at the corner.
They stood like that in front of the mirror, each with the other’s breasts in her hands, looking down, and then looking up at the mirror, and then looking at each other.
“Up and down, dear.” Summer’s eyes were bright. “For science.”
“For science.”
They lifted together, small, a half inch. They let them settle.
They lifted again.
“The same, Vanitha.”
“The same.”
“To the gram.”
Vanitha laughed. It came up out of her clean the way laughs came up when a woman had not laughed a real laugh in a week, and it moved her breasts in Summer’s hands, and Summer’s in hers, and their hands lifted together with the laugh and came down, and on the coming down Vanitha’s thumb slipped.
It slipped a quarter inch up the side of Summer’s breast and across the small hard of the nipple, one clean drag of the pad of her thumb, and at the same moment Summer’s thumb did the same on the side of Vanitha’s, a soft brush up and over, the small pebble catching against the soft skin of the thumb.
Vanitha made a small sound. It came out of her nose, not her mouth. A half breath.
Summer made the same sound back. A half breath in through the teeth.
They both looked down.
“Oh my god.”
“Oh my god.” she giggled..
They both laughed. It came up out of both of them at the same second, the loud girl-laugh that had nothing careful in it, the kind of laugh Vanitha had laughed on the back steps of her college in Chennai at nineteen when a friend had said a thing the friend had not meant to say.
Summer’s head went back. Vanitha’s went forward into the small warm space above Summer’s shoulder and her forehead touched the skin there for a half breath and she pulled it back.
“Sorry, sorry.”
“Do not say sorry.”
“I did not mean to.”
“I did not mean to either.”
“Look at them.” Summer was looking down into Vanitha’s palms in the mirror. “Look, Vanitha.”
Vanitha looked.
The nipples had hardened. Both of them. The small pink of Summer’s had gone tight and stood up out of the soft pale of her breast a small clean amount, and the small pink of her own had done the same against her gold-fair skin, and the two of them in the mirror were a matched set of small hard pink pointed nipples in the morning light.
Vanitha laughed again. It was a different laugh this time, smaller, warmer, the kind a woman laughed at herself.
“They are like a switch.”
“They are exactly like a switch.”
“One touch,” Vanitha said, “and up they go.”
“Watch.” Summer’s thumb moved again, small, deliberate this time, a clean slow drag across the pink tip in Vanitha’s palm. The nipple went harder under the thumb. Vanitha felt it go. She felt the small pebble tighten a full half-stage, the way a bud tightened before it opened.
She did the same back. Her thumb went up the side of Summer’s breast and across the small pink and the small pink went harder, and Summer’s breath caught again, small, a half-in through the teeth.
“Oh my god, dear, stop,” Summer said, and she was laughing.
“You started it.”
“I did not.”
“You did. With the weighing.”
“The weighing was for science.”
“The weighing was not for science, Summer.”
They laughed again. It doubled both of them over a small inch, their foreheads near each other, their hands still full of each other, and the breasts in their hands shook with the laugh the way a girl’s shoulders shook with a laugh, and the nipples stayed hard, and the laugh made them no softer.
Vanitha looked down.
Both sets of pink were standing up clean off the soft of the breast under them. Hers. Summer’s. Four small hard nipple pointed in the morning light.
“Look.” Her voice was small. “They are harder, now.”
“They are much harder.”
“From the laughing?”
“From the thumb, Vanitha.” Summer grinned at her in the mirror.
“Be honest.”
“From the thumb.”
Summer’s thumb moved one more time, small, a test, and Vanitha’s nipple answered it, and Vanitha’s own thumb moved back, small, a test of her own, and Summer’s answered, and they both looked down at the same second and they both laughed at the same second and the laugh was the kind of laugh that happened in a locked bedroom on a Sunday morning with the sun on the floor and a man downstairs with a cold coffee in his hand.
“Okay.” I think I am going to make Ashok mad. Summer took her hands off and pointed at the choli.. “should we try it on?
“Yes.” Vanitha’s hands came off Summer’s breasts slow. She did not want them to come off slow. They came off slow on their own. Her palms held the warm of Summer’s skin for a half breath after the skin was gone.
Summer’s hands came off her at the same speed. The thumbs dragged the small last quarter inch across the pink and both nipples held the hard they had been given.
“Red one, yes?”
“Red one.”
Vanitha lifted the wine-red choli off the hanger. The silk was cool against her forearm. She held it open by the shoulders the way a mother held a dress open for a daughter.
“Arms up.”
Summer lifted her arms. Vanitha went behind her. The back of Summer’s neck was warm under the damp ends of her hair, and the small clean smell that was citrus and something under it came up off her skin, and Vanitha slid the choli over the lifted arms and pulled it down.
The silk came down over Summer’s shoulders. Vanitha brought it around the front. The small hooks down the front placket were the tight front hooks the tailor had made to Summers breast cup size, five hooks in front, small, brass.
“Turn, dear.”
Summer turned. She faced Vanitha. The red silk sat open down the front, the two panels of it parted, her bare breasts between them in the frame the silk made.
Vanitha brought the two panels together.
She started at the top. Her fingers went to the small brass hook at the collarbone. She worked it through the small loop on the other side. The hook caught. She pulled the two panels a small inch closer and she did the second hook below it.
Summer’s breath was soft against Vanitha’s temple.
“Fits nicely, dear.”
“The measurements, spot on.”
“It’s so comfortable and yet it looks tight and perky.”
The third hook. The silk pulled across Summer’s chest. Vanitha watched the fabric go taut over the full of the breast, the small hard pink pushing up against the silk from the inside, a small round shadow under the wine red.
“Vanitha, your hair is tickling me.”
“Sorry, dear.” Vanitha lifted her head back. She pulled her knot tighter at the top and let the damp ends fall down her own back. She went back to the hook.
The fourth hook. The silk was tighter now. She had to pull the two panels the small extra amount to get the brass through the loop. The silk went taut under her fingers and the weight of Summer’s breasts pushed up against the silk and the small round of the top of each rose a clean half inch above the edge of the neckline.
“Oh.”
“What, dear.”
“Look down, Summer.”
Summer looked down. Her chin went to her chest. Vanitha felt her smile before she saw it.
“Vanitha.”
“The stitchers did a good job, dear.”
“The stitchers did a very good job, but the measurements…”
The fifth hook. The last one. Vanitha worked it through, slow, and the silk closed the last half inch at the bottom of the placket and sat clean against the soft of Summer’s midriff.
Vanitha stepped back a half step.
The wine red silk sat on Summer the way the tailor had promised it would sit. Tight across the chest. The small gold leaf pattern catching the morning light. The low scoop at the neckline framing the top of each breast, the soft fair of her skin above the dark wine red. The high cut at the midriff sitting a hand’s width above the waistband of the white ruffle skirt. The small gold chain on her hip visible in the bare strip between the choli and the skirt.
“Dear.”
“Yes, Vanitha.”
“You are a woman who should be wearing a saree every day of her life.”
Summer’s mouth went up at both corners this time. The half was gone. She turned to the mirror. Vanitha watched her face in the glass. She watched Summer’s eyes go down from her own throat to the dark wine red across her chest to the small gold chain at her hip, and she watched the eyes come back up.
“Vanitha.”
“Yes.”
“I am going to cry.”
“Do not cry, dear. Your mascara.”
“I am going to, I think I made an amazing friend.” They hugged, forgetting Vanitha still bare breasted and squishing in in the process.
The elastic released its tension against her ribs, sending a whisper of sensation across her back. She rolled her shoulders forward, letting the straps slide down her arms like water, the fabric grazing her nipples as it fell away from her body.
The bra dangled from her fingertips for a suspended moment before she released it to join the growing collection on the bench.
They stood next to each other in the mirror, bare to the waist, with their sweet breasts fully exposed, in their skirts.
Summer turned her head. She looked at Vanitha’s breasts first in the mirror and then in the room, her chin turning the small amount it took to look at the real thing and not the reflection.

“I am going to cry.”
“Do not cry, dear. Your mascara.”
“I am going to, I think I made an amazing friend.” They hugged, forgetting Vanitha still bare breasted and squishing in in the process.
