Okinawa: Day Two (Skeletons)
SMS from Kyoya: Good morning guys. I have made plans for today. I know you all will be pretty interested in what I have in store. Please, dress in summer attire. Shirts, shorts, the like.. It is going to be an "out" day. Remember, bring your swim attire as well. Meet me in the Royce by 11 am. I'll see you then.(:
The hosts and Catalina did as they were told and all dressed in shorts, sandals, and summer appropriate shirts. When they met outside their shiny ride was waiting for them. Tamaki opened the door and saw that Kyoya was already there. Everyone loaded up in the limo and looked at Kyoya with expectant looks on their faces.
"I'm sorry but why the hell are you all staring at me?" Kyoya said, writing in his tiny book.
"Where are we,"Kaoru started. "Going Kyoya-senpai?" Hikaru finished.
Kyoya closed his book and smirked, "What? You guys don't trust me?"
Well when you smile like that... no. The twins thought looking at each other.
Kyoya ran a hand through his hair and leaned back into his seat. Kaoru narrowed his eyes at him. Something was different about Kyoya today. He just couldn't place a finger on it. Hunny obviously had been thinking the same thing. He placed a finger on his chin," Kyo-chan... Where are your glasses?" Hunny asked.
Kyoya reached for the bridge of his glasses out of habit," Oh, I'm wearing my contacts." he answered.
"Ohhhhhhh!" they all said in unison (except Mori, he only nodded.)
Haruhi smiled, "Senpai, you should wear your contacts more often." she said.
Catalina nodded to agree with her.
"Hm.." he hummed. "And why is that?"
"Because I can see your eyes much more." Catalina said causing Kyoya to smirk slightly and the twins to scoff.
After about a thirty minute ride the Royce stopped and the doors unlocked. They could see the driver walking toward their door to open for them. As soon as they stood outside of the car they all instantly smelled the aroma of popcorn and grilled foods. They could hear the screams of excitement and the indistinct chatting. Everyone's eyes shifted to Kyoya with smiled on their faces.
"Kyoya..." Tamaki said happily.
Kyoya reached for his glasses obviously forgetting he chose to wear his contacts today, "Welcome to the largest amusement park in Okinawa.." he said with his arms folded wearing a smirk upon his face.
The others clapped and talked about how excited they were to get behind the gate at the same time. He couldn't quite make out what they were all saying. He reached for his wallet, retrieve his shiny gold card, "The admissions cost is 5500 yen which was included in each of your fees to come on this trip. So, I'll swipe my card for our wristbands. Excuse me." he said right before going to the admissions booth.
Kyoya walked back over to them with eight golden wristbands and passed them out to the others.
"The wristbands here are color coded. Since I bought the gold over the silver we are able to get onto the rides when they began to load up. Which means we won't have to wait in line. The park closes at 9pm so we have plenty of time. Now, we can go as a group. Or break off into partners and switch every thirty minutes to an hour." he said as he struggled to put his wrist band on.
"I think we should break off into partners. That way we can have a little one on one with everyone." Catalina said walking over to help him with his wristband. "Here, let me help."
"Yes, I think that is an excellent idea!" Tamaki sang giving the others a thumbs up.
"Yeah that'd be cool." Haruhi said.
"I think it's super good idea!" Hunny giggled.
"Yeah." Mori said.
"Then that means," Kaoru started. "Kaoru and I have to split up." Hikaru finished looking at Catalina with a frown.
"Well that's life!" Tamaki yelled. "Now lets go inside!" he yelled impatiently.
"Okay so," Kyoya started as he led them through the gate. "Tamaki your first partner will be...Haruhi. Hikaru and Kaoru, you have each other. Hunny-senpai and Mori-senpai, you are partners."
Catalina smiled, "Then it looks like I have you."
Kyoya looked at the others to double check, "Yes, you're correct."
"Hey, Kyoya. Are we going to go as partners to the water park area?" Tamaki asked
"No, when it is time to swap partners we will all meet here. Once everyone has partnered up at least once we will go to the water park as a group. Understand?" Kyoya explained.
"Yes sir!"
~Kyoya and Catalina~
"So, what do you want to do first? Keep in mind you're supposed to save the intense looking rides for last." Catalina said.
Kyoya stroked his jaw line with his thumb as he thought, "Let's see.. The bumper cars looks promising." he suggested.
Catalina smiled at him and grabbed his arm, "Let's go then!" she yelled. She ran to a long line of strangers waiting to get in the bumper cars with the shadow king in tow. The conductor opened the gate, letting the previous riders out. He returned to his booth and spoke into the microphone, "Are there any golden band carriers in line? If so, you may enter first. If I do not see the band I can not allow you to get on until your turn."
Catalina and Kyoya passed the others who stood in line and found a car to claim.
"Kyoya!" whined a familiar voice. "You took the one I wanted."
Kyoya looked up and saw Tamaki and Haruhi was also in there with them.
"Too bad, Tamaki. Find another." Kyoya laughed.
"Now the first six in line may enter." said the conductor.
When the conductor powered up the cars, Haruhi and Catalina teamed up against Kyoya and Tamaki.
"Tamaki! I'm on your team stop hitting me!" Kyoya laughed.
"I'm sorry Kyoya. I'm not the best driver!" Tamaki joked.
"Ow! Kyoya-senpai you hit pretty hard just now!" Haruhi laughed.
"We're enemies. I am to show you no mercy!" Kyoya joked.
"Don't worry, Haruhi! I got your back!" Catalina said ramming head on to Kyoya.
"Woah!" Kyoya said. "Okay Catalina! I guess I'll stop being so gentle with you!" he laughed.
"Ha-Haruhi! Don't hit Daddy so hard!" Tamaki said.
"C'mon senpai! Not in public!"
"Are you saying you're embarrassed of your father!" Tamaki accused.
Kyoya rammed into the back of Tamaki's car, "Shut up, moron!" he laughed.
"Kyoya-senpai, you're a traitor!" Haruhi joked.
Wow, I don't think I've ever seen Kyoya-senpai so happy. I would have never imagined him joining us in something like this. I didn't think amusement parks would appeal to him. He's usually distant when we're doing things like this. I wonder if it's because of something Tamaki-senpai said to him. Or...maybe... It's her. Haruhi thought looking at Catalina, who was smiling and laughing at Tamaki and Kyoya. Suddenly, she turned and saw Haruhi watching her so she smiled and continued her assault on Tamaki's car.
"A little help here, Fujioka!" Catalina joked.
Soon the conductor turned of the electric cars. Catalina took her camera out of her backpack, "Guys, lets take a few pictures." she said. She stopped a girl that was walking with who she assumed to be her mom, "Excuse me, Miss. Could you take a few pictures for us?" she asked the stranger in Japanese. The girl smiled and nodded. They took more than a few pictures, they took several of them but the girl didn't mind.
"Thank you so much!" Catalina to the girl and her mother.
"No problem." the mother said with a smile.
"Catalina, are you going to get these pictures you're taking developed?" Kyoya asked.
"Of course. Why do you ask?" she answered.
"Sorry to interrupt but Haruhi and I will meet up with you later." Tamaki said leading Haruhi to a roller coaster.
"No problem, see you later. Have fun." Catalina said waving them goodbye.
Catalina's blue eyes grew wide and sparkled, they were fixed onto something. Kyoya followed her gaze and laughed once he realized what she was staring at.
"You're worse than Hunny-senpai." he joked.
"F-f-funnel cakes!" she sang. "Let's get some."
Kyoya followed her to the stand and watched her drown hers in powdered sugar. They sat at a table so that she could eat it comfortably. Right before digging in she remembered she had hand sanitizer so she sanitized her hands. She ate a piece and chewed it with a pleasured look on her face, "Mm.. So good."
"I had no idea they'd have funnel cakes here. They taste much better than the ones I've had back home. Or maybe I'm just hungry. Want some?" she offered.
Kyoya wrinkled his nose," Oh, no thank you."
Catalina smiled at him, "C'mon! Why not? No one is paying attention. I'm the only person to witness you eating with your fingers. Just taste it." she laughed.
"I'm not laying a finger on that. Besides, I'm not the biggest fan of sweets. You know that." he said reaching for his glasses out of habit. Catalina pulled off a piece and leaned over the table a bit.
"Fine. If you don't want to touch it. I will feed it to you. Open up." she said holding it in front of him. He covered his mouth with his hand and turned his head.
"Kyoya just give it a try and if you don't like it I'll leave you alone."
The handsome boy sighed and opened his mouth . Catalina feed it to him in the most innocently erotic way.
"Well..What do you think?" she asked.
He smiled and reached for her plate, "It's pretty good actually."
She smiled and pushed the plate in the center of the table for the two of them to enjoy. When Kyoya began to eat it she searched in her bag for the camera to take a picture of him.
"Smile!" she said right before snapping a picture of him.
Eventually, the funnel cake was no more so the two of them sat and chatted for a bit until it settled before getting on a rollercoaster. Once they were ready, the two of them set out on a search for an awesome rollercoaster. Kyoya had to choose what seemed like the scariest looking one there.
"Whoa.. You expect me to get on...that?!" she asked in a hushed tone as they approached the line.
Kyoya looked at her with a straight face, "What happened to that fearless young lady I was talking to moments ago? It seems almost as if your afraid." he said in a mocking tone.
Catalina nervously began to twirl her hair in her hand, " That's because I am... I'm petrified of heights. That's why I rejected that ride back there that shoots you up in the air."
Kyoya's eyes widened for a moments, then he cleared his throat and turned around, "We can find another rollercoaster, if you want."
"No! Let's get on this one. I just... won't look down." she chuckled nervously.
"Catalina, we don't necessarily have to-"
"I want to Kyoya. Besides, how am I ever going to get over my fears... if I don't face them?" she smiled.
He no idea what to say next. He continuously asked himself, 'What what Tamaki do? What would Tamaki do? What would that moron say?' The onyx eyed host held out his hand in hopes that she'd take it. She grabbed his hesitantly and took a deep breath.
"Let's go." she said, releasing the air that she held in with a woosh.
The coaster started out slowly as it pulled them backwards. Suddenly, it shot them down quickly causing Catalina to squeal loudly. The rollercoaster went dropped so fast they thought their necks would snap. Once they'd reached the loops, Kyoya was thankful that he'd chosen to wear his contacts instead of his glasses. Otherwise, he may have lost them by the second loop. Catalina's eyes had been closed since practically the beginning of the ride, so she decided to open them. She saw that now the cars were slowly being pulled up chain lift. They were so high that they had a view of the amusement parks entrance. She looked to see how Kyoya was reacting to this, his arms were folded and he examined the view.
How the hell is Kyoya so calm? I don't believe I heard a peep from him since the ride started. Is this boring to him?
"Hey Kyoya. Why so quiet?" Catalina asked.
"Hm, oh.. No reason. Why do you ask?"
"Because everyone else is screaming and you're just... calm." she said.
"Aren't I always?" he asked rhetorically.
" I guess but.. I know this sounds weird but can I hold your hand for the rest of the ride?" she asked nervously.
He looked at her quietly, "Hm?" he hummed.
"I'm sorry w-was that weird? I'm sorry I just...I'm weird. I apologize." she said, embarrassed.
Kyoya saw that they were almost to the top, "Oh, no. It's fine. Here." he said reaching for her hand. "My, you're shaking terribly." he said squeezing her hand slightly.
"Yeah I kn-AHHHHH!" she screamed.
Once they reached the end of the chain it shot them backwards sending them through the loops at what seemed like faster than before. She noticed how tightly Kyoya was squeezing her hand.
Maybe he isn't all that calm after all..
Finally, the terror was over so they headed for the ride's exit gate.
The conductor stopped them to hand them a photo strip, "Excuse me. What car did you sit in?"
"Car 3." Kyoya answered.
"Would you like your photos from the ride?" he asked.
"Definitely!" Catalina sang.
"Here you go. Thanks for riding!"
"Thanks." Kyoya said taking the strip.
They laughed at the faces that she made but by the fourth photo Kyoya cracked. His face was hilarious.
"Well, we have time for at least one more ride. What will it be?" Kyoya asked putting the photo strip in Catalina's backpack.
"Well... I did say to save the most intense for last.. So, the sky tower?" Catalina suggested.
"Hm," he hummed. "What a brave choice for someone with acrophobia." he said leading her to the tower placing his left hand his pocket.
"It is.. We DiLaurentises are tough."
"Oh?" he said with a smirk.
"That's right." she assured him.
"Hm," he hummed. "Then, I don't suppose it'd be a problem if I sat on the opposite side of the cabin instead of sitting near you." he said in a mocking tone.
"Um, well the other DiLaurentises are tough." she laughed.
Kyoya smirked at her, "Ah-ha!"
Without warning, she grabbed his right hand and held it tightly. He stopped walking to look at his hand in hers. A deep blush began to spread on her cheeks and she tried to snatch her hand away but he gripped it before she could.
"I-I'm sorry." she said nervously.
"This is completely incorrect." he said sternly.
"I-I know. I apologize." she said trying to remove her hand from his but he stopped her and repositioned so that her tiny hand was protected in his.
"There. That's better, right?" he asked with a smile.
She smiled back at him, "I-I guess so." she said standing with Kyoya in the line.
"Isn't this amazing? It holds up to seventy-two people.." he said reading the sign. "Yet, there is only fifteen of us waiting in line."
Catalina couldn't help but laugh. Soon, the two of them got into the tower. There was a beautiful view of the park. Everyone looked like ants to them, for some reason Kyoya found it amusing.
Wow, Kyoya is way different than what Tamaki and Haruhi described.
But now it was time to switch partners. Hours passed and everyone was down to their last partner.
