Boys will be Boys

"Hey, are we there yet?" Mikan grumbled as she dragged her feet along the path. "I don't think I can last any longer out here under the sun!" Without warning, Natsume picked her up bridal-style making their friends stop in their tracks. Hotaru quickly whipped out her trusty digital camera and began clicking non-stop at a red-faced Mikan and a stern-faced Natsume.

"Kyaaa!!! They look sooo cute!" Anna said as she rested her head on Yuu's shoulder.

"Kyaaa!!! I agree!!! I agree!!!" Nonoko giggled while she started pinching Kokoro's cheeks.

Yuu and Kokoro looked at each other with horrified expressions that screamed Does this mean we have to carry them too? Luckily for them, their destination was almost there.

"Look guys, we're here!" Mikan smiled happily as she pointed to the artificial beach especially constructed by the Academy for the students to have a summer feel even though it was almost fall in two weeks. It had pure white sand and crystal clear blue waters. There were palm trees and food stalls along the sidewalks. "I feel like I'm in a normal beach again! It's been six years since I've been on one!"

"FINALLY!!!!" Ruka exclaimed, dropping the entire luggage that Hotaru made him carry: 2 large suitcases, 3 gym bags and 1 large stroller bag. His skin was very pale and sweaty from all the work he endured. He was about to rant at Hotaru when she bent over to him and wiped his face with a towel. "Thank you." She whispered before giving him a quick kiss on the lips making Ruka blush and freeze on the spot where he stood.

"C'mon! Let's get changed into our suits!" Anna called out to the girls.

"Okay!" Mikan chirped as she grabbed her bag and followed them.

"S-suits?" Yuu's glasses fogged up as he imagined his precious Anna in a hot red bathing suit with a cute bunny ears headband and a small fluffy tail on her behind.

"S-swim suits?" Kokoro could picture in his mind a cheerful Nonoko running toward him in a frilly pink swim suit as she ran toward him holding a beach ball.

"Baka." Natsume muttered to himself as he thought of Mikan in a white bikini calling out to him as she bathed in a tub filled with red rose petals. She was eating strawberries and cream while humming a soft, sweet tune.

"Wow." Ruka breathed as he drifted off to dream land where he saw Hotaru in a skin-tight navy blue swimwear, her shoulder-length hair was dripping wet as she got onto the boat after she finished diving among the fishes.

"Tch! Boys will be boys." Hotaru muttered angrily under her breath as she shot each of one of the boys with her Baka gun to wake them up from their fantasies.

"Oh my gosh! Your nose is bleeding!" Anna went toward Yuu and wiped the blood off his nose.

"Oh my! Yours too Koko!" Nonoko knelt beside her boyfriend and gently dabbed a piece of cloth onto his bloody nose.

"You're also having a nasty blood geyser Nogi Ruka! Based on my observations and the data I've collected from all of you boys' reactions to what we are wearing right now. I therefore conclude that it was all the cause of naughty perverted thoughts!" Hotaru shot him again with her Baka gun. "Natsume here must've been the only one among you who wasn't thinking dirty!"

"Yup! You boys should be like him!" Anna and Nonoko snapped at Yuu and Kokoro.

Natsume smirked as he wrapped an arm around Mikan's shoulders. If only they knew!

"We're sorry! How can we not think of such thoughts when we have such gorgeous and hot girlfriends?" Ruka, Yuu and Kokoro all bowed down and apologized profusely to Hotaru, Anna and Nonoko.

"Awwww…thank you!!! We're sorry for scolding you guys." Anna and Nonoko hugged their boyfriends who immediately blushed upon seeing them in their swimwear, Anna in an orange tankini and Nonoko wearing a light mint green v-neck one-piece swimsuit.

"How about me? Am I forgiven?" still on his knees, he asked Hotaru with a cute sad puppy expression on his face. She looked wonderful in her navy blue bikini and sailor's cap, Ruka couldn't help himself but become awestruck before her presence.

"Maybe, But first I want some ice cream bunny-chan." She replied as she spread out her blanket and set a large umbrella on the sand.

"Yes ma'am!" Ruka stood up and saluted before running off to buy her some ice cream.

Meanwhile, Mikan and Natsume were walking around and checking out the souvenir shops.

"Your swimsuit looks good on you, love." Natsume whispered to Mikan who was wearing a halter-top bikini with red and white stripes. Upon hearing his comment, she immediately turned red making him laugh.

Mikan frowned and stuck her tongue out at Natsume. "Hmph! Pervert!" she said, folding her arms squarely over her chest.

"Hahaha…Sorry…" Natsume replied, caressing her cheek gently. "But I'm serious! You really do look beautiful in that outfit."

"mhmm.." Mikan glared at him jokingly.

"Well, want to head to the waters?" he asked, taking hold of her hand.

"Sure. It's getting pretty hot now." She smiled as she leaned her head on his shoulder.

Later that day, as Mikan and the girls were sunbathing; they suddenly saw two people walking together that almost made them jump off their blankets.

"Isn't that Sumire?" Mikan asked lifting her sunglasses to take a better look.

"But who's that guy with her?" Anna whispered.

Hotaru quickly snatched her binoculars from her bag. "Guess what ladies? The guy frolicking and going all lovey dovey with Sumire is…."

"WHO?" the three girls shouted in unison.

Yuki's notes:

Wow! I finally had the chance to write about them going to beach! Kyaaa! I'm so happy! (I got the idea of the artificial beach from Ouran. Thank you Kyouya-kun! ) I've been waiting for this opportunity for a long time and my dream has finally come true!

I had fun writing about the part where the boys were fantasizing about the girls while they were away to change into their swim wear! Naughty, naughty boys! Tsk. Tsk. LOL . Anyway, I still can't believe that Midnight Confessions and Kisses finally reached the double digits! YAY! (Yup, so far we've made it to chapter 10 now. The end of the first arc chapter isn't counted as a part of the story)

I hope you guys liked this chapter as much as I did. , . Thank you so much for reading. Please do tell me what you think of it.

And to find out who is Sumire is frolicking with, wait for the next chapter! heh!

OMG! i haven't read the GA manga yet since there's no translated manga in english yet but i've read some info on some characters that appeared only in the manga.She is Lina Koizumi. I swear that when i was creating Yukito Koizumi i had absolutely no idea that there was another character(a real one) with the surname Koizumi.I was actually thinking of Miss Mizuho Kazumi from Onegai Teacher.LOL. Don't worry though to all those who've read the GA manga..Yukito is NOT an evil character(even if he did fall in love with Mikan and made a move on her.lol)
