Beach AGAIN?!
Right now I'm staring at my Senpai, trying to convince me to go into the water.
"Come on Haruhi. Come play with daddy!" I hear.
As I sit on the beach fidgeting with my shirt, I think back to how I got here in the first place.
-flashback- 2 hours ago
I'm just leaving my apartment to go check out some books from the library. On my walk there, I notice how today is such a nice day. But after a while it starts to feel really hot.
I sigh to myself and mutter "I wish I had a pool."
Then I hear two voices say "We can help you."
In a split second, a black limousine comes flying toward me. Then Kaoru and Hikaru pick me up, and throw me into the limo. I look up and see Tamaki-Senpai smiling at me.
Tamaki-Senpai picks me up and starts to cuddle me saying "Haruhi I'm glad you came."
I push him away and ask "What is the meaning of this?! Why did you abduct me? AGAIN?!"
"I just wanted to have some father daughter bonding time at the beach", He says innocently.
I'm about to tell my Senpai that he shouldn't of kidnapped me, when I see the door open. I step out onto the same beach I was at when I fell off the cliff. Before I utter a word, I am yet again dragged against my will. With Hikaru on my right and Kaoru on my left, I am thrown into the ladies changing room. I immediately pale at the sight of the Hitachiin maids. They hold up a blue, frilly, two piece bathing suit. I turn around and make a mad dash for the door. They grab my arm right when I'm about to reach the doorknob. Then they strip me of my clothes, and force me into the bathing suit. Before I am roughly pushed out of the room, I hurriedly throw over the shirt I was wearing.
-end of flashback-
Now here I am, staring at my senpai, who's currently making a fool out of himself.
I then hear Hikaru and Kaoru say "Boss, play volleyball with us."
Tamaki responds "No, I won't play one of your childish games."
Hikaru suddenly walks over to me, tilts my chin up and says "Well, what if the winner gets to kiss our precious Haruhi?"
Tamaki runs to get a volleyball, and angrily spikes it over the net. As I watch the game between my Senpai and Hikaru and Kaoru. I think to myself, I hope Hikaru wins. I stop dead in my tracks. Woah, where did that thought come from?
Why do I want Hikaru to win? It's just because I don't want my senpai kissing me, right? As I watch the match, I see Hikaru teasing Tamaki, and then Tamaki getting mad. I can't help but notice how good Hikaru looks right now. I shake my head.
I have got to get rid of these thoughts.
In the end, nobody won. Right when both teams had 15 points, they all collapsed. I sigh to myself and go grab 3 water bottles and a bucket of water. First I go and revive Kaoru, I pour the bucket of water on him, and he wakes with a start. I hand him the water bottle and he thanks me for my kindness. Next I move onto Tamaki-Senpai . After I revive him and give him water, he starts sprouting out about how "I was his angel," and blah blah blah. Finally I head to Hikaru, and dump water on him. He looks up at me, and I notice how hot he looks soaking wet. When I go to hand him the water bottle, I slip on the wet sand and fall on top of Hikaru. When I look up, I see Hikaru staring at me, and I'm captivated by his gaze. I snap out of it when I feel myself being yanked onto my feet. Next I see my Senpai frantically looking at me, asking if I was hurt.
I'm about to respond when Honey-Senpai comes running up to me and say "Haru-chan come and eat cake with Uso-chan and me."
I happily respond with, "Ok Honey-Senpai, I'll be there in a minute."
I walk over to a picnic table and see Honey-Senpai munching on cake, with Uso-chan sitting next to him. As always, Mori-Senpai is sitting across the table reading a book. I sit down next to Honey-Senpai and start eating cake, like I said I would. After we finish our cake, Honey-Senpai says, "Haru-chan do you know why I love cake?" I shake my head. "It's because cake is so sweet, even though it will give me toothaches. It's all worth the trouble, just for my happiness."
I respond, "Well cake is really sweet."
"Oh Haru-chan." Honey-Senpai sighs and shakes his head.
I look at him quizzically. Silently asking him what I did wrong. But all of a sudden Honey-Senpai jumps out of his chair and says "Haru-chan I'm going to help Kyoya make dinner." He smiles and skips along toward the beach house, with Mori-Senpai in tow.
I stay still for a few minutes and ask myself what Honey-Senpai ment.
I feel like whatever Honey-Senpai was talking about, it wasn't cake. But if it wasn't about cake, then what was it?
I sit and ponder for a while, until I smell the crab cooking. I decide that I can think about this later, and head straight toward the beach house.
During dinner, everyone is happily chatting and eating. Out of the corner of my eye, I see that Hikaru keeps glancing at me. I glance back and meet his gaze. It's just for a split second, then he continues his conversation with Kaoru. I suddenly feel a fluttering in my stomach.
I must've ate too much crab again.
After dinner, I head off to my room. I'm about to change out of my bathing suit when I see the ocean from my window.
It looks so pretty.
I decide to wait to change and head back outside. I'm so captivated by the stars, that I don't hear the footsteps coming up behind me. I hear someone say, "Haruhi?"
Without missing a beat I respond, "Yeah Hikaru."
I hear a chuckle, "How is it you can always tell Kaoru and I apart?"
"You guys are two different people. You both have distinct characteristics about yourselves."
"So Haruhi, why are you out so late?"
I turn around and say, "Well the water looked so pretty, I just wanted to see it up close. Why are you out here Hikaru?"
"I couldn't sleep."
It suddenly becomes silent. Both of us are just gazing up at the stars. But it's a comfortable silence. Hikaru suddenly takes my hand and starts to pull me toward the ocean.
I ask him, "What are you doing?"
"I thought it would look more pretty if we stand in the water."
I look around and gasp in awe. The stars reflection in the water looks like we're both walking among the stars. Hikaru suddenly stops and releases my hand. For some reason, I'm sad that I don't have that warmth anymore. I'm too mesmerized by the stars to see Hikaru come up behind me, and splash me with water.
I turn around furiously and say "You did not just do that." I quickly splash Hikaru back.
He looks surprised and says "Oh, it's on."
We start having a splashing war. After a while, I don't feel the water hit me anymore. I stop my attack to see Hikaru's face bright red. I go over to him and say, "Hikaru are you sick?" I then put my hand to his head, and I can feel his face getting hotter. He murmurs something so quiet I strain my ears to hear.
"Hikaru, speak up, I can't hear you."
"Your shirt," he then motions toward my soaking wet shirt. I step back and examine it. I get confused as to what his saying.
"Yeah, what about it."
"I can see your bathing suit through it," he quietly mumbles.
"Oh that, well your stupid maids forced me into this thing," I angrily say, "So if you got a problem with it, it's not my fault."
While waving his arms in a panic he says, "No that's not what I meant. It looks really...".
"Really what?" I ask annoyed.
"Really nice on you." He sheepishly says.
I'm taken back by his comment, and just stare up at Hikaru. I look up into his amber eyes. I get lost in a sea of gold. I look from his eyes to his lips and start to lean forward. Hikaru does the same, and with half lidded eyes he whispers "Haruhi." I close my eyes and feel a soft sensation on my lips. But as soon as I felt the warmth, it left. I open my eyes to see Hikaru blushing beet red. I giggle and stand on my tip-toes to peck his lips. He seems surprised by the action, but smiles none the less. As I see Hikaru's smile, I can feel my face heat up. In a panic, I bury my face into his chest. As I rest my head on Hikaru's chest I finally understand what Honey-Senpai meant. Hikaru may give me a headache from time to time, but it's worth staying because I get these unforgettable moments I wouldn't want to share with anyone else.
