I think I know why these are all so short. Because they all seem to have perfect little points to end, so why should I mess that up? Anyways, thanks again to my reviewers. You guys rock!!
I figured Mikoto would at least yell at us for leaving without telling him, or freak out about our "secret love affair", but no. He apparently didn't even notice we were gone. I swear, he's no fun if we can't mess with him.
He was still just pacing by the door, waving his arms and muttering to himself. I will say though, that I was beginning to realize why all of the guys thought Mikoto was so cute, his pouty face was quite adorable. Don't worry, he's not my type… and by that I mean he has a girlfriend and doesn't have blue hair.
Tooru had just wandered back towards the window not looking quite as sad anymore, when the door burst open, terrifying Mikoto.
"My my my aren't you three just the most lovely Princesses ever." Arisada-sama said with that annoying evil grin on his face. You know, the one where you just know something bad is coming and you know he knows but he isn't going to tell you? Yeah, that one. "Ready for tonight?" He had just walked into the room followed by the rest of the student council and Akira.
"NO!" Mikoto yelled frantically. "I don't want to do this!"
"Too bad. You know if one of you doesn't work then none of you get the rewards. And I think you are going to like what we have in store for you. For all of your hard work, since next week is a school break, you get a whole week off of school and Princess duties and an all expenses paid vacation to a relaxing beach house."
"Seriously?!?" All three of us yelled surprised. I had expected a nice, quiet vacation but this?
"Yes, and you may each invite one person. Akira will be coming with you too, because he has been working so hard and deserves a break." He motioned to our green haired friend standing beside him who just gave a shy mile in return. "But before that you must give us all your best efforts tonight."
I looked over at Tooru to see his blue eyes shimmering with excitement. He must have felt me looking at him because he turned and met my gaze. We smiled at each other and turned back to Arisada-sama.
"Alright then, see you all tonight." And with a nod of his head, he turned and walked out, leading the other student council members. Except for Akira who was staying with us for the rest of the evening to make sure everything went smoothly.
"So Akira," Tooru walked over to him. "What's going to happen tonight?"
"Well, first people will walk around to see the decorations of the school. Most people will be bringing dates so they wil—"
"WHAT!!!!" Mikoto screamed in Akira's face. "You mean people are bringing dates but we still have to be dressed like girls?!!?!"
"Yes you see, while people are looking around you three are going to be in the gardens greeting people as they walk through. Surrounded by lights and elegant fountains, Arisada-sama thought it would be a good place. After that, will be the announcing of who will get to be your escorts at dinner. The people who entered are people who won't be bringing dates, wont worry we already checked them all out and everything is fine. Then dinner and after will be dancing and desert, and you only have to dance the first dance with your escorts and you can leave if you want. The whole thing will be over at exactly midnight."
"That doesn't sound too bad."
"Kouno that's just like you to not be upset by this! I hate being used just so that the student council can make more money!"
"Baka. The money's used for us. It goes to the Princess funds and it's paying for our week off." I rolled my eyes and walked over to lean against the wall next to Tooru.
"Shihoudani, you really do hate me don't you."
I rolled my eyes again and began "absently" running my fingers through Tooru's wig. "I already told you I don't, but when you get excited like this you really get annoying." I knew I might have been going a little far with Mikoto this time but he was getting way too stressed out about this whole thing.
Seeing that I hadn't calmed him down at all, I sighed, unwrapped my fingers from the silky blue strands, and walked over to Mikoto. I got right into his face and batted my eyelashes at him. "Please Miko-chan, don't be mad at me. It's just a little dance. You only have to dance once." I used my Princess voice.
To my amusement, Mikoto turned redder than his hair. He backed into the closed door to try to get away from me, stuttering so badly that his words were completely unintelligible.
"Oh, Yuko-chan, you scared him." Tooru walked over and put one elbow on my shoulder, and propped his other hand on his hip. I turned my head and smiled, letting my arm slowly circle his waist, enjoying watching as his cheeks gained a faint pink glow and his seductive smile falter slightly.
"Oh, do you think so Tooru-chan."
He opened his mouth to reply, but before he could utter a sound, was interrupted by Akira.
"You three need to get to your places in the garden, people will be arriving soon."
I glanced over to a clock in the wall and saw that it already read 5:52. I looked back at the bluenette I was still holding onto, to find myself looking into his ocean eyes. "Are you ready?" I asked in my normal tones.
"Yeah." He shrugged and let his arms drop back to his sides.
I held his waist for a moment longer, squeezing slightly just before letting go, hoping to convey my thoughts through the light touch.
"After you, Princess."
Yay, so this one was a little longer at least. Please review!! (Yes I edited it, thank you Sir Gawain of Camelot)
The line where he's talking about Mikoto not being his type, I meant that Mikoto's straight and not Tooru, just in case any of you missed that.
