Chapter 7
"They're good, Haru! I promise!"
"No."
"Come on!"
"No."
"You have to try something new every once in a while."
"No."
"Please?" As Haru looked at me again with his straight face he sighed and finally lifted a cupcake off of the plate I had brought over. I watched as he took a bite out of the soft cupcake and waited for him to say something. He stayed silent as he finished the cupcake before grabbing another one and beginning that one. "Oh Haru, you always seem to do things to the extreme, huh?" I joked as he continued to demolish my homemade cupcakes.
"I love this song!" I quickly ran over to the radio and turned up the volume. I looked at Haru and outstretched my hands towards him. "Come dance with me."
"I don't dance."
"I know, but you can give it a shot."
"No." I walked over and pulled him up from his seat on the floor.
"It won't be that bad." I said. With my right hand in his left I placed his right hand on my hip as I placed my left on his shoulder. The two of us began to sway to the music. With the slow song in the background we continued to look into each other's eyes. His ocean blue orbs always mesmerized me, no matter how many times I looked into them. I slightly leaned up and gave him a chaste kiss on his lips before placing my head on his shoulder. "See? It's not that bad coming out of your comfort zone."
He moved his hand from my hip and snaked his arm around my lower back as he brought me closer to him. "No, it's not." He whispered as we continued to sway to the music.
Another sigh escaped my lips as I reached my house. I hadn't seen any of my friends today, or Haru, and I was extremely bothered by that fact since it was my birthday. After throwing my shoes into the closet I trudged up the stairs and straight to my bedroom. When I ripped open my bedroom door and threw on the light I almost had a heart attack because a group of people yelled, "Surprise!" without my knowledge of their presence. I screamed as my hand went straight for my heart to make sure it didn't fly out of my chest at that very second.
Haru, Makoto, Nagisa, Rei and Gou all stood in my room with big bold smiles as they stared at me. My hands reached up to cover my mouth as I stared at them in shock.
"Happy birthday, Kei-chan!" Nagisa cheered.
"What're you guys all doing here?"
"We're here to celebrate your birthday!" Gou explained.
"It's a surprise party." Rei continued.
"Haru thought of it all by himself." Makoto praised his best friend.
"Really? You did this all for me?" A grin spread across my lips as I looked at my other half. He avoided my eyes as he looked away and shrugged his shoulders.
"It was nothing." After his sentence I ran towards him and wrapped my arms around his neck as I hugged him. After the shock factor wore off he finally wrapped his arms around me and allowed me to properly hug him. I leaned backwards, so I could look at his face before giving him the smallest peck on his lips. As his cheeks began to redden I laughed and turned to look at our friends.
"Thank you all so much!" I cried as I pulled them all towards me, so we could have a group hug.
"This is nice, huh? Just the two of us?" Gou asked as we continued to shift through the clothes on the racks in front of us.
"It is. We should do this more often." I commented.
"That's so cute! You should get that top." I was holding up a simple dark green blouse against my chest to see if I liked the way it would, possibly, fit on me.
"You think so?"
"Definitely and Haru-senpai will love it too." At her comment I immediately put the blouse down. A sigh escaped my lips as I looked at the blouse in my hand.
"I do like it, but I think I'll get it for myself."
"Huh?" As I looked at Gou I smiled and my head tilted slightly to the right.
"I only buy things that I love. Besides, I know that no matter what I buy Haru will love it regardless…or he might just not notice." I laughed at my own joke.
"Can you two stop being the cutest couple?" Gou squealed beside me as I laughed even harder.
I thought this would be a nice filler before shit hits the fan...oh what?! Something is gonna happen? Like what?! Have I said too much? Leave a review telling me what you think is gonna happen! :D
