"…Haru?"

"Yes?"

"Why is the sky blue?"

"Because it wants to be. Isn't it a pretty color?"

"Huh…It is! Thanks!"


"Hatsuharu?"

"Hm?""Will you take me to get ice-cream? Hiro doesn't want to go."

"Always, Momiji."


"Haruuuu~!"

"Yeah?"

"We're going to the zoo, wanna come?"

"Of course, even if they don't have the two best animals."


"H…Hatsuharu?"

"…What's wrong!"

"I had a nightmare… Will you hold me for a while?"

"Of course, Momiji. Come here and lay down with me."


"Haru-chan?"

"Yes?"

"Can we go swimming?"

"Sure. Did you bring our swimsuits?"

"No…I forgot them… Now how will we swim?"

"We'll skinnydip-how does that sound?"

"Sure! Oh, man, Hiro's gonna wish he hadn't missed this! We never get to skinnydip!"


"Hatsuharu?"

"Yes?"

"Can I tell you something?"

"…Anything. What's on your mind?"

"…Close your eyes and I'll tell you."

A soft, tender kiss.

"Are you mad?"

"At you? Never."
