Chapter 4 is here, people. Enjoy it!

~The next day~

"Hima-chan, I made it! Tada!"

Sakurako hold the test's results in front of her flat-chest, bouncing in joy at the same time. Himawari just smiled calmly, like she always did. She knew this would come from the beginning. Sakurako was no stupid girl, just a lazy one. With a little help from the brunette, a 100 mark is no big deal if the blonde tried her best.

"I am proud of you, Saku-chan."

Himawari said sweetly while petting the girl's blonde hair. Facing Sakurako's childishness, Himawari sometimes couldn't help feel like a mother.

"Ehehe! Then reward me Hima-chan! You promised."

"Alright alright. I'll reward you tomorrow, Ok?"

"No! I want it now!"

Himawari suddenly showed a serious expression. She said firmly:

"Don't be so childish now. Wait till tomorrow."

Seeing the brunette's frightening expression, Sakurako knew that she should stop her jokes. She pouted:

"Fine. See you tomorrow, Hima-chan."

Little less she knew, under Himawari's cold face, a devilish smile could be seen. She was planning this for a long time, and the perfect chance to execute her plans had arrived, since they got a few days off after their testes. It was a trip to the seaside, just the two of them. She had already prepared the transport, and saved up some money for the trip too. The last thing to do was to inform her sisters.

~The next morning~1 AM~

A cab stopped by the Ohmuro's house. Himawari noticed it, and finished her conversation with Nadeshiko:

"I'll be going now. Thanks for your help."

"No problem. Be fun, and stay safe."

"Thanks. By the way, we won't get back till tomorrow."

The brunette walked upstairs into her lover's room. The blonde was still sleeping sounding at the time (A/N: It's 1 AM). Himawari scooped her lover up gently with both hands, and carried her into the cab, waving goodbye to the elder blonde-haired girl.

"Where're you going miss?"

"Emerald Beach, Okinawa, please."

After knowing the destination, the driver bothered them no more. Himawari then enjoyed her time alone; gazing at her lover's sleeping face on her lap. The scene was quite pleasing, to be honest. Sakurako suddenly muttered something, which startled the brunette a little:

"Hiwa-channnn…Zzzzz"

Acknowledging the fact that the blonde was calling Himawari's name in her sleep-talk made her quite happy. She smiled sweetly, a smile that could only be seen on her lips when she's thinking about her lover.

"Are you too… a couple?"

A hesitating and small voice could be heard from the driver. Its looked like he had took an interest on them. He asked them, and he tried to be at least rude as possible.

"Y-Yeah…you could say so…"

"I thought so…"

Pausing for a short period, he continued:

"I envy you two."

The comment surprised Himawari.

"Really? I thought that you would be… well, disgusted."

The driver only chuckled slightly at the girl's remark.

"Why? Is it because that you are both girls?"

Before Himawari got a chance to reply, he continued talking, almost like a monologue.

"I won't judge. Besides, whatever the choice that would make you happy is the most righteous choice. If loving a person makes you happy, then taking the choice to love her is the best action you could ever take."

"Is that…so?"

'Maybe he's right. I got nothing to be ashamed of.'

Thinking about various matters, Himawari held her lover hands and squeezed it tight.

'As long as I am with this childish girl, I don't care what this world thinks.'

Peace filled her mind as she continued to gaze at her lover's face. The times with the blonde were literaturely the best times of her life.

~5:30 AM~

"We had arrived, miss."

The voice of the driver had woken Himawari up. She took some money out of her pocket and paid the driver. After that, she shook the blonde gently. Sakurako slowly opened her eyes, still half-asleep and got up from Himawari's she recognized her lover's face, a sweet smile crept over her face.

"Hima-chan, I…"

"What is it, Saku-chan?"

Seeing the driver, Sakurako flustered and immediately stopped at the middle of the sentence. The strange action made Himawari curious.

"No, nothing at all. Good morning Hima-chan. Where are we?"

"We're at Emerald Beach in Okinawa. You said you want to visit this place before, so… this is my reward to you."

The information that Himawari provided the blonde made her snap out of her sleepy state. She shouted in joy as she jumped off the cab.

"Yay! Thank you, Hima-chan."

Sakurako's childish actions made Himawari smiled happily once more. Being by the girl's side like this made Himawari heart feel at peace. She took a hold of Sakurako's petite hands, and knelt down like a prince while saying:

"Would you like to see to sun rise with me, Saku-chan?"

Himawari's actions completely charmed Sakurako. She could not even say a word, and the only she could do was giving a nod.

*nod*

They sat at a place near the shores, on the sand and enjoyed the view. Their hands were still linked, and the touch felt pleasant to them. It was the correct time. Just like magic, the sun was rising slowly from the skyline and droplets of golden light were shining on them. The light's intensity was enough to erase to coldness of the night and brought pleasant warmth.

"Such a beautiful sight!"

The blonde was dumbfounded, and that was the only thing she could say. However, the reply of the brunette shocked her.

"I had planned for years."

"Eh?"

"Since before you declared me as a rival."

Regretness filled her heart. She knew she hurt her lover a lot with her actions. But before she had a chance to say sorry, she was kissed by Himawari. The girl's lips attached to hers. It was a simple, soft kiss, but Sakurako could sense many emotions in it.

"Don't make such a face. The past does not matter. What you have done is not important, but the fact that you are right here with me now is."

With that, the grief feelings in the blonde's mind was cleared. She was no longer felt those painful feelings anymore. A sudden urge to be in contact with her lover appeared and she embraced Himawari. Sakurako whispered into the girl's ears:

"You know, there are times I felt lost. I did not know what I should do. Nevertheless, you always guide me. Being by your side, my fears vanished. That's why I loved you."

Finishing the sentence, she leaned in and locked her lips with those of her lover. When they parted, Sakurako said something softly, that only herself could hear.

"And every time I kiss you, I love you even more than before…"
