Shipwreck Atlantic
Chapter 02
Hikaru walked back to her room in the hull of the ship. She was still trying to wrap her minds around today's events.
She had met a beautiful aristocrat, with an unusual but pretty name.
She had fallen in what she thought was love with Nova.
She had been invited to take a walk with her.
And she had learned so much about the aristocracy and her new friend.
She just wished that they might become more than friends. She was still making her way down the stairs. This was starting to make her a little mad. These stairs were just... uncountable. They seemed to go on forever. And just when you thought it wouldn't end, you would stumble down the last of them.
She moved her mind back to the walk that she had with Nova, blushing. Some of the things she said sounded pretty stupid now.
--
Hikaru walked along the promenade with Nova, amazed that someone of her status and stature would be interested in normal, middle- class girl liker her. She was just a normal person, and Nova was, well... stunning, and amazing.
Everything about her was perfect, from her hair to the color of her skin to her dress. And every move she made, every action
was was as graceful as a dancer, even more, maybe.
Her touch was soft, yet firm.
They reached the top of the staircase, and for the second time that day, Hikaru saw the ocean, smelled the salt... and laughed as some people got bird... stuff... of their hats.
She heard Nova laugh behind her before pulling her along under the covered section of the deck.
"So... your friend, Fuu, what's she like?" Nova asked, eyes following Hikaru's to watch the gulls.
"Well, she's really smart. She has green eyes and glasses, and shoulder- length blonde hair. She's really nice, too.
She's taller than me, everyone is, pretty much... She usually wears white and green dresses, and I try to wear pants most of the time. She also likes to cook a lot and likes riding bikes" Hikaru tried to think of anything else, but couldn't.
"Wow, she really sounds interesting. When we dock in America, can I meet her?" Nova asked, her long pink hair flipping a little in the breeze.
"Sure! She's really nice, too!" Hikaru smiled. She was starting to really like Nova. She just hoped that Nova liked her, too.
"What abut you, Hikaru? What are you like?"
The bridge of Hikaru's nose turned slightly pink, she tried to make it stop, but didn't get too far.
Nova laughed at her efforts beside her.
"Don't be embarrassed. I just want to know a little more about you." She said reassuringly.
"W- well..." Hikaru started, fiddling with her red hair a little, and then the hem of her skirt, "I- I like sports, I would play cricket with some of the boys on my street back home, and I was good at it, too. My team almost always won. I like shellfish a lot, and potato soup and ratatouille. My mom would always make it back at home. I have three older brothers, and we play football a lot on the weekends. My parents owned a sweet shop and a bakery back home, and me and my brothers would always help.
I like to listen to radio shows, especially comedy ones. I went to a boarding school for girls only back home, and I really didn't like it all that much. But I met Umi, she's one of my best friends." Hikaru finished, gasping for air. She had said all of that in one breath. She needed to remember to breathe more when speaking.
"Are you okay? You look a little red..." Nova's comment made Hikaru flush even more.
"Y- yea! I'm fine! You don't need to worry about me!" Came the quick reply.
"Okay, if your sure.."
"I'm sure!"
Hikaru took notice of the sun that was now low in the sky, casting shades of yellow, red, and orange across the ocean and long shadows behind the people in the decks and promenades.
"I- I need to go! It's getting kinda late, and..." Hikaru stuttered a little. She started doing that a lot lately. She hoped it didn't become a habit.
"Why? It's only..." Nova stopped a man in a suit to ask the time before turning back to Hikaru, "It's only around 6:30."
"I promised my mom and dad that I would get in bed here the same time that I do back home, so..."
"You go to bed a 6:30?"
"7:30, really. It takes me a while to get ready for bed, finish some studying, and cleaning up my room a little."
"What do you do to clean your room? Why do you need to?"
"Just the way I was raised. What about you?" Hikaru was curious if what she thought aristocracy was like was actually accurate.
"There are people that my family hires to do stuff like cook and clean, but I've always liked doing stuff like that and relying on myself instead of others for most things. It just gets... weird... having to rely on others for anything and everything."
"Wow. That's so different from what I've heard." Hikaru quickly shut her mouth.
"S- sorry..."
"Ha ha! It's okay!" Nova seemed unusually relaxed, "Everyone assumes that, and with most members of the aristocracy, so in most cases it's true."
"Oh." Hikaru couldn't think of anything to say after that so she went for the second best option, "I have to go. My mom and dad will be mad at me if they heard that I stayed up past the time I said I would. Bye!"
Hikaru turned to leave but was stopped by Nova's gloved hand on her shoulder, turning her to face the aristocrat.
"Bye. Sleep well." nova said, before moving to brush her lips against Hikaru's in a short, chaste kiss.
Hikaru's face turned possibly redder than her hair.
"B- bye!" Hikaru ran off the promenade, still blushing ferociously.
She didn't see Nova smile and giggle slightly.
--
And now here she was. Hikaru stumbled down the last step, as she usually did.
"Darn."
Hikaru almost fell on her face, and broke her fall with her hands.
Her mind was stuck on the quick, chaste kiss now. Okay, she had just met Nova, and Nova was great. Stunning, pretty, polite, and a lot of other things. And she had feelings for Hikaru, and Hikaru thought that she had feelings for Nova.. but that had been... sudden... and quick... and unexpected.
Hikaru reacher her room after a few minuted of walking, admiring the oak- stained walls and thinking of the day.
Of course, the oak panelling was interrupted by steel, air- tight sealing doors. Hikaru reached hers, opening it by pulling on a heave handle.
Her room was simple, a average four- poster bed, a table by the porthole, a bathroom and closet.
She collapsed on her bed, staring up on the celling, sighing. It was a good day, and they would be in America by tomorrow. She went to take a bath, enjoying the hot water cascading over her.
