Hey there! Thanks for dropping by. I want this to be Gou-centric, but I have no idea how it will turn out. Estimating three chapters. I hope you at least enjoy this mess.
P.S. I ship Gou with everyone.

"Sorry," the receptionist said, smiling apologetically, "there are no rooms available for at least a week."
"Eeehh? No rooms available for a week?" Nagisa repeated.
"It's still noon," Gou said, "we could look for another hotel."
Rei was checking his phone, furiously scrolling with his thumb. "There are no other hotels, or even inns, in this town… err… technically, this village."
"Eeeeehhhh?" Nagisa cried out again, this time with Gou. "We didn't even bring tents! Or sleeping bags!"
"Makoto, what do we do?" Haruka asked.
Makoto scratched his neck, worry etched onto his face. "Is there really no place we can stay tonight?" he asked the receptionist, who gazed upon the five sympathetically.
"Well…" she began nervously, earning the immediate attention of the teenagers in distress, "we do have a honeymoon suite…"
Makoto and Rei blushed, while hope flickered in the eyes of the other three.
"We'll take that," Haruka stated without hesitation, already impatient from having to stand this long.
"W-Wait, Haru! Gou-chan can't sleep with us!" Makoto stuttered, his face getting redder.
A flustered Rei agreed. "And d-don't people usually need… a marriage certificate or something to-"
"Oh, our hotel doesn't require a marriage liscence for just the suite," the receptionist interrupted Rei helpfully, "you only need it for the honeymoon package that consists of-"
"Ah, I see!" Rei quickly directed the attention back to himself, not wanting to hear the specifics of the honeymoon package. "It's all good then! We can ask for extra beddings, right? We'll take the suite! Haha!"
Haru looked at Makoto, expecting him to protest. Makoto looked troubled but remained silent, clearly trying to think this through.
"Don't worry, Makoto-senpai," Gou said, smiling up at him reassuringly, "I won't be uncomfortable with you guys. I'm sure it will work out. Thanks for worrying about me."
Makoto couldn't help but return her contagious smile, "I understand. Thank you for compromising with the situation." He let out a small sigh. "Though I don't think Rin will be very happy if he ever gets to hear about this."
Nagisa did a little victory bounce at Makoto's final approval, excited at the idea of sharing a room with everyone, even Gou. "We just need to hide it from Rin-chan then."
"Hide what from me?" demanded a familiar voice from behind them, making them freeze.
They turned slowly, sweat forming on their temples as their nerves started failing them. Surely enough, Rin, with his trademark shark grin, was standing a foot away from them with Sousuke, Nitori, and Momotarou, who was forever excited to see Gou.
"Onii-chan!" Gou greeted as warmly as possible, "And Sousuke-kun too! I had no idea you guys would be all the way here." She greeted Nitori and Momotaro too, flashing a smile that made Momo lose his patience. He closed the painful distance between them before either Rin or Sousuke got to speak to her.
"Gou-san! I am so happy to see you! As always, you look stunning. Your face always makes my heart ache. Yesterday, I thought about you all the-"
"Momotarou-kun!" Nitori reprimanded as he pulled him back with both hands so that Rin didn't engage Momo's neck in a choke hold in order to drag him away from his sister.
"Where are the other swimming club members, Rin-san?" Rei asked, hiding his nervousness.
"They wouldn't listen to Momo wanting to go out with the whole club as a final outing because he harassed everyone in the showers yesterday," Rin sighed, visibly disturbed by the memories. Sousuke too, seemed to have been a victim. Momo seemed to disagree.
"I didn't harass anyone!"
"So it's just us. We came for Momo," Nitori added.
"You guys are here to swim in the natural outdoor pool too?" Sousuke asked.
Makoto nodded. "We'll roam around a little too. And leave tomorrow."
"So," Rin spoke, eyes focusing on his light-haired childhood friend with mirth, "What did you want to hide from me?"
Nagisa laughed. It sounded fake even to his own ears. "Actually… Uh… Gou-chan, why don't you explain it to your beloved onii-chan?"
Gou looked at Nagisa as if he had just told her to jump off a bridge.
"Gou?" Sousuke called out, starting to worry. Nitori and Momo shared a confused look with each other before letting their eyes settle on Gou expectantly.
"You know what, I think Haru-senpai can explain this best," was her shaky response.
His previous light-heartedness gone, Rin narrowed his eyes at Haruka, silently asking for an explanation. Haru's stoic face seemed to falter a bit during his brainstorming session of 'to say or not to say". Coming to the conclusion that it was not in his interest to be on the receiving end of Rin's temper, he decided to sacrifice his best friend. "Makoto…"
By now, the other four started getting suspicious. What kind of secret was so bad that even Haruka couldn't bluntly spit out?
Makoto, who could not come up with a decent way of saying 'four of us guys will be sleeping with your adorable little sister in a hotel room specifically for couples', passed on that honour to Rei. "Rei is best at explaining things after all," he had said.
Rei gulped. All eyes were fixed on him. Even the receptionist had her attention glued to his guilt and silence.
Gou sighed. Feeling it was best she took resonsibility, she began. "The thing is-" but never got to finish as Rei decided he'd have a go at it anyway.
"WE WERE ABSOLUTELY NOT PLANNING ON ORDERING THE HONEYMOON PACKAGE! JUST THE SUITE! WHICH PROBABLY COMES WITH A KING-SIZED BED AND A BIG TRANSPARENT BATHROOM. I THINK THEY'LL PROVIDE CONDOMS TOO, BUT I PROMISE WE DON'T PLAN ON USING EVEN ONE."
Jaws remained hanging as everyone processed his words.
"...The fuck?"

Rei has the most embarrassing moments in the anime. It sure as hell isn't going to be any different in this fanfiction. Sorry Rei-chan.
