Tsume's POV)
Tsume got some things her aunt told her to get. As much as she didn't trust her aunt she seemed really Sad about what happened to her and Ryuichi and wanted to help make things no so awkward between us and Chris, tsume wanted to tell Chris were she was going but she told her not to see she convinced her that she called him herself and told him everything about this. Once to the place, she asked tsume to meet her at, tsume walked around a bit before seeing her with Two suitcases and there stood Tommy with her
"Tommy?"
"T..tsume, what are you doing here ?"
He said as she was about to say something but her aunt grabbed her hugging her
"I'm Glade you made it tsume dear "
"Yeah so why am I here again?"
"For my 5 days vacation cruise"
"O.k so why is Tommy here?"
Tsume asked as her aunt smiled
"I asked Tommy to help me with my bags there really heavy"
Tsume didn't believe her and she wasn't going to fall for her tricks again not after what she did to her. Something wasn't right but she didn't know what
"Ok, so uh bye have a nice trip"
"Can you help me with my bags, please"
"Wait, what?"
"You and Tommy "
"Auntie please not today I have to "
"Tsume I'm leaving so please just this once"
She asked well pouting
"...fine"
Just as tsume was going to grab her bag she pulled her into a long and gentle hug, she returned the hug as well as her aunt thanked her and pulled away, tsume grabbed her suitcase bag and Tommy got the other one , they made there way up the line making her look over to see if her aunt was following and she was, once onto the cruise ship tsume looked around how beautiful and Exquisite this ship was that had everything a couple wanted, tsume also thought maybe her and Ryuichi could have a vacation one day together just the very thought of it made her blush
"Tsume, where is her room?"
Tommy asked a snapping her out of her dream thought as she looked around and saw what looked like a tour guide helper
"Excuse me but can you tell me where this room is?"
She asked as he showed them the room with no problem and tsume and Tommy tossed her bags on the bed and just as they were about to leave we heard the ships horn go off making them realize that they're about to take off
"They're about to leave Tommy let's go"
Tsume said about to run but he grabbed her wrist stopping her
"No, wait"
He said pulling her back as she pulled away from him roughly, tsume was still upset with him for what he did to her when we were at the carnival even though she forgave him but she still couldn't be around him and the fact that he had Christopher put in a hospital over a broken leg, I think that kind of Drew the line
"Don't touch me!"
Tsume said mad at him as they started to make there way to the exit of the ship but it was too late as she looked over the rail and saw everyone waving goodbye to the people and there tsume saw her aunt standing there with a pink handkerchief waving goodbye
"Aya!"
Tsume screamed as she continued to wave goodbye, she couldn't believe that she fell into one of her tricks again, tsume stood their shock and stun unable to move to realize that tsume was played like a fool once again and tricked to even come on to this Cruise thinking that she was actually leaving, she knew something was up but was too blind to see that the plan was right in front of her
"So I guess we're not getting off?"
Tommy asked coming over to tsume the people on the deck became smaller and smaller as tsume couldn't stand anymore and fall onto her knees making Tommy kneel down to her asking if she was alright
"She tricked me again"
Tsume said in shock as she slammed her fist onto the floor of the Ship in anger making Tommy jump back a little
"It's not so bad... Okay maybe it is bad"
Tommy said changing his option as tsume gave him a cold glare
"Forget this I'm getting out of here"
Tsume said digging in her pockets to look for her cell phone but couldn't find it, it was missing until a thought quickly came to mind that the hug her aunt gave her allowed her to get pickpocket
"Are you freaking serious!?"
Tsume screamed in anger
"Tsume calm down it will be okay"
Tommy said but she didn't answer him there was no way for her to get in contact with Christopher or to tell them what happened and what was worse was that they have no idea where she is.
"Excuse me do you two need help"
ask the cabin boy , Tommy made up a lie saying that I wasn't feeling well so he helped us to our room but tsume didn't even have the sense of mind to even tell him the back off as Tommy help her up and the cabin boy showed them to there room making her realize that when he said OUR room it was her and Tommy's room and that's when she put two to two together and realize that her aunt had scheduled this cruise for her and Tommy for 5 days together.
"Don't worry tsume it's only 5 days it's not that bad"
Tommy said reassuring tsume as she looked up to him making him back up a little
"Tommy, where's your cell phone, do you have it on you?"
he shook his head as he patted his pockets to show that he didn't have it with him
"a little while ago before you showed up your aunt asked me for my cell phone to make a couple of calls but I guess she forgot to and my phone back"
He said with a nervous chuckle, tsume threw herself onto the bed screaming into the bed sheets. Seconds later tsume finally calm down
"I think this will be good...for you"
"What?!"
Tsume said looking at him as he looked at her with a smile
"Just think of it as a day off"
"Yeah a day off from hell, F.Y.I. Tommy, I'm a musician and I have to perform for Chris tomorrow"
"Oh yeah, but really does that matter ?"
"Tommy don't start with me "
Tsume growled as she put her face into her hands to upset about this, the bed sunk in tsume looked over to see Tommy sitting next to her
"You know I've always wanted to go on a cruise, wanna check this place out?"
He said taking her by the hand and dragging her out the room as we ran down the hallway and up to the deck we saw a lot of couples mingling and people playing games and some in the pool we walked around and saw a display of food of different kinds people eating chatting and Etc music was playing through the loudspeaker making her feel weird being here without Rio. Tsume know Tommy means much and he was just excited being on the cruise and he probably wanted to film everything that he got to do and what to see but the only thing that was on her mind was to get home but there was no way for that to happen
"Tommy, we have to go talk to the captain"
"What why?"
"we have to ask him to turn this ship around, we don't belong on here"
"Can that wait I want to check the place out"
He said but tsume wasn't in the mood to bargain with him
"Fine you stay and check the place out and I'll go find the captain on my own"
She said and was about to leave but he grabbed her wrist making her turn the face him as he got down on his knees begging her to stay with him and to check the place out
"After we have a little bit of fun then we'll go find the captain I promise"
He said as tsume rolled her eyes giving up
"Fine but only for a minute"
She said as he jumped up shouting woohoo making her smile a little to see how childish he can be, he took her hand and pulled her over to where they were playing games. Tsume watched as Tommy played to it looked fun but she didn't want to forget about Ryuichi, there has to be a way for them to get back and being on a cruise for 5 days was something tsume did not want
"Come on, play with me tsume "
He said as tsume was spacing off
"No thanks I uh, I'm not in the mood"
She said as he stopped playing and took her hand pulling her to were some people were dancing
"Tommy no"
"Come on live a little"
He said dancing getting into the beat, tsume giggled at this and thought to just relax, an hour later after dinner they headed back to their room until she remembered they had one bed to share
"Don't worry I'll sleep on the floor"
Tommy said even though that was a good idea she felt bad to have him do that, but the floor was carpeted so he'll be ok.
Tommy's pov)
Tommy woke up to a knock at the door and got up and saw tsume gone, he looked to the bathroom and heard the shower running and went to the door to answer it
"Good morning sir here's your breakfast"
The doorman said rolling in a cart of food, Tommy was surprised at this and thanked him as he left
"who was at the door, Tommy?"
Tommy spun around and saw Tsume's coming out of the bathroom in a top and shorts, her hair was still wet as he had a towel trying to Dry it
"Uh breakfast came"
He said still staring at her as she went over to the food tray and found a bow of fruits
"Thanks but I'll have this "
She went over to the bed to eat as Tommy went over to a little table that was there in their room, he knew the only thing on her mind was to get home but Tommy wanted this moment to last or at least have something for her to like about him, he wants to show her that he would be a better lover then Chris and Ryuichi together. But convening her to stay would be the hard part of the deal he made with the aunt
"So tsume, I was thinking we make a deal"
He said acting chill, tsume looked over to him
"What deal ?"
"The deal I'm asking for like a date on this cruise"
"Yeah right, Tommy, I'm not dating you"
"I knew you'll say that I mean you being a coward an all explains why you won't date me "
"Excuse me?"
"Let's make a deal"
"No"
"Why scared you might lose?"
He asked with a smirk as tsume sigh
"Fine what do you want? "
"A date with you, 3 days, on this cruise"
"What, no way, I'm not doing that "
"Chicken!"
"Tommy, I'm not dating you and staying on this boat for 3 days is enough to drive me mad "
She said crossing her arms, Tommy wasn't going to let her win he had to play tough and get her to cave in even if it means getting a black eye
"I'll play you for it"
"What game ?"
"Stuff board "
"...fine, if you win we date for 3 days and if I win we got to captain and get off of this boat"
"Deal"
He said holding out his hand as they both shook on it, they left their rooms and went to find the stuff board game, 30 minutes later tsume lost the game
"I can't believe I lost ! This game makes no sense to me!"
"Well tsume a deal is a deal"
"You lied to me, you knew how to play this game "
"No, I didn't, this was the first time I've played this game"
"...fine you win were dating now, but I'm warning you if you do anything I don't like, your dead"
She said cracking her Knuckles, Tommy took a breath and acted like she didn't scare him when clearly she does
"Don't worry I won't"
He said taking her by the hand as they went to relax by the pool. Not lot of people were by the pool so it was nice to just lay there, Tommy looked over to tsume who was reading a book and realize she wasn't wearing a swimsuit
"Tsume why aren't you wearing a swimsuit?"
"I can't swim remember"
She answered as he remembered that and Shrugged going back to relaxing. Later they listen to the band that was performing for everyone. Tommy saw she wasn't having fun and would wander off and had to go find her, he later found her back in the room laying on the bed
"Are you ok?"
"Yeah just ...need to get away from the noise"
She said not moving as he sat on the edge of the bed, Tommy had to come up with something to make tsume Happy but what. his throughs was pulled away from him eyeing the suitcase and remembered they were here
"Hey, what's in theses suitcase anyway?"
Tommy asked but tsume didn't answer, he opened the red one and found there were boy clothes inside and in the others one girl clothes
"Uh, tsume I think your aunt did give up..."
He stopped when looking over to here seeing her breathing study realizing she fell asleep, he covered her with the blanket and walked out of the room turning off the lights. He was that he was able to get a date out of tsume but he wasn't doing it because it was part of the plan to have him and her be a couple, he wanted to do it because he wanted to she'll tsunami that he can be just a better boyfriend then Christopher and Ryuichi. he already knew that she was still mad at him for what he did at the carnival but he wanted to find a way to make it up to her and what better way than that than to act like a loving boyfriend. the only problem is that when he was dating Rachel he didn't really have a long enough experience in order to know what he was doing was wrong or right.
A little later it was lunch time after checking out the boat some more and remembering where things were he headed back to the room and Saw tsume still sleeping, he went to wake her up and told her it was lunch time, but she wanted to skip lunch because she wasn't feeling hungry, Tommy was starting to feel a little bit down that she didn't want to eat so he ate alone during around the time during dinner time she also wanted to skip that and now Tommy started to get worried that maybe she wasn't feeling good
"Are you sick?"
"I don't know I just, I'm not hungry"
She said that she turned over on the bed with the pillow over her face
"Is it seasick?"
"Trust me if it was seasick I would have..."
Tommy freaked when he saw her jump from the bed and bolted to the bathroom and slammed the door shut behind her as he heard puking sounds and was corrected she was seasick. A little later he heard the flushing of the toilet as she came out and threw herself back onto the bed with the pillow over her face
"I'm sorry"
she said weekly as he went over to her side and patting her back
"it's okay you stay here and rest and I'll ask anyone if they have anything to help you with the sea sickness"
He said and she thanked him, he left the room and search for someone, he came to the bar room and asked the bartender for something to take for seasickness, he told Tommy to go to the medical room for some help that the front desk will help him. So once that was done with a woman came to there room to check on tsume
"She'll be fine all she needs is to take this pill and rest for a while "
She said handing Tommy a bottle of medicine
"Thank you"
Tommy said as the woman left there room, Tommy saw tsume a little better but he didn't like her being sick
"I'm sorry I didn't know you get seasick"
"Neither did I"
Tsume said with a smile as he smiled back
"This is the first time I've Ben on a boat"
"That explains a lot, so you rest and I'll go entertain myself"
"Don't disappear on me, some people disappear on a ship"
Tsume said laughing at this
"You read to many books"
He said before leaving the room, Tommy was happy to have tsume with him on the boat but felt like it would go nowhere if she was sick, as he walked around the boat he found a game room called roulette and decided to give it a try
Tsume POV)
Once the sickness faded I went to go look for Tommy only to run into some trouble
"Hello, there my love want to come and hang out with me?"
sid aa boy with dirty blonde hair and green eyes who came up to her and try to flirt
"No sorry I'm looking for someone"
tsume said trying to get away but he wasn't going to let her
"Is that someone your boyfriend?"
"Uh no, he's a friend now move"
tsume said walking away but he grabbed her wrist
"Let me go!"
tsume said trying to pull away but he kept the firm grip on her
"Relax sweetheart we're just going to have a little fun"
He said pulling me into him
Hey !"
Shouted a voice as I looked to see Tommy
"Let her go!"
Tommy said as the boy let me go and went up to him
"So you're her boyfriend, pathetic"
The boy said laughing
"Leave her along dude or else"
"Or else what ?"
The boy said as Tommy then was punched in the faced making tsume scream out to him when he hit the ground
"Now we're was..."
The boy stopped when he was punched and beat up. Tsume helped Tommy to there room and took care of him until he woke up
"Tsume..."
Tommy woke up as tsume smiled at him
"Hey, are you ok?"
"Yes, but what Happened?"
"You got knocked out when trying to save me "
"I guess that was pretty lame huh?"
"Nope, I was impressed by your bravery"
"Really?"
"Even though you were picking the wrong fight I'm still impressed thank you"
she told him making him Smile,
"Oh I almost forgotten, the suitcase is filled with clothes"
He said getting off the bed and dragging on over to show her, tsume saw the first one had boys clothes and the other had girl clothes.
"She was planning this"
tsume said to herself mad, her Aunt was never happy who she dated, she thought what she was doing was helping when clearly it wasn't. tsume thought she wanted her with Chris when they started dating but then Ryuichi got back and it was ok but why would she try to get her with Tommy... unless
"Hey Tommy"
tsume said looking over to him
"Did you strick a deal with my aunt?"
When asking this she saw he looked shocked then nervous.
"Tsume I ...no, I mean...sorry"
He said tsume's aunt was good at making deals with people, just like the devil she is. Tommy wanted to go out again for some fun tonight and she allowed it seeing he did take care of her when she got sick. The music was booming as everyone was dancing, it was fun dancing with Tommy until night
Day 2)
When tsume woke up she saw Tommy still sleeping next to her, she allowed him to sleep in the bed with her because she felt bad that he was sleeping on the floor. But she was still worried he might pull something so tsume Divided the bed up with pillows so they stayed on each other side.
Tsume got up and went to take a shower, and change into a new change of clothes they then bring the sheets at the one from the suitcase. She felt good that she was on the cruise relaxing and not working all the time but as time passed she really wanted to get back to Ryuichi.
"Good morning"
said voice snapping tsume out of her as she turns to look at Tommy
"Good morning to you too"
"What are you doing up already normally you sleep longer?"
"I don't know I just decided to if you want to sleep in that's fine but I'm going for a walk"
tsume said as she headed out of the door, she walked around the cruise ship as she saw some of the people out. Some of them are hanging at the bar some of them were basically Cruisin by the pool. Not knowing what else to do on a cruise ship she went to go find an activity slip and saw that they had a sauna, so tsume decided to give that a try. There were other activities to do but some of them weren't to her liking until she met up with Tommy, he wanted to go to the restaurant with her so they can dine together. And of course, since it was there deal she had to in a way. Breakfast and dinner was awesome, also spending time together wasn't so bad
tommy pov)
"I see you're finally enjoying yourself"
Tommy said walking over to her with ice cream and hand
"Okay I admit maybe being on the cruise ship wasn't so bad"
"I told you aren't you glad that we struck a deal?"
"I'm going to ignore that you said that but at the same time, I guess I kind of am. Now by tomorrow, I'm pretty sure you know it's our last date and we have to go home "
tsume said as Tommy from at this he forgot that it was their last day tomorrow but a deal is a deal. He took a lick of his ice cream as he looked over to tsume who was staring at something, a smile to himself and he realizes she was looking at the little kids playing Putt-Putt.
"Hey, tsume ever thought of having kids someday?"
He asked her as she almost spits up her ice cream when hearing that
"No no no I would be a horrible mother"
"I don't know I think you would be an awesome mother"
"You don't know what you're talking about... Taking care of my brothers and sisters is just as bad as me being an actual mom."
tsume said as then a child started crying she looked over to the child who was sitting on the ground crying over something, she went over to the kid quickly and ask what was the problem as Tommy follow behind her. The little kid wine because he couldn't hit the ball into the little hole, so instantly Tommy was surprised how she went into Mommy Mode and help the kid make a shot into the hole. The two of them spent a lot of time together which surprise Tommy as the day came tonight the only thing he wished was that you would have developed some feelings for him and not wanting to leave. During the night there was a display of fireworks as the two sat together in a chair near the poolside watching the skies light up in displays of colors, the frown came to his face when you remember the first time the display of fireworks happened and he wasn't pleased with what the results were in the end. Now it's time to actually show a side of him so that's maybe she will like
"tsume..."
"yes?"
"I know I told you this once and I already know that you already have feelings for him... Whatever happened from then on, do you think we could..."
He trailed off as he wasn't looking at her, he wanted her to say something or at least give him an answer he was hoping for.
"You're never going to give up?"
tsume asked him
"You already know the answer to that"
tommy said with a chuckle
"I know you have been hard around me and I feel bad that you're being misled by my aunt. But I'm going to tell you exactly what I keep telling her."
She said stopping as Tommy looked over to her to see her looking directly at him
" why can't you be happy for me?"
Just hearing her say that hurt him, as he away realizing that he wasn't happy for her at all. all he's been doing was what he thought was right then try to have other people break off her relationship with Ryuichi just to get her when really she wanted to keep their friendship and she wanted him to be happy for her. She was already happy being with the one she loves just like when Tommy was in love with Rachel and he remembered that she said she was happy for him as well when finding the one he loved. Tommy smiled to himself as he nodded and looked up to tsume and hugged her
"im sorry...your right... I'm a jerk, I won't chase you anymore "
Tommy said pulling away from the hug as tsunami ruffled his hair
"I wouldn't say you're a jerk I just think you're just a bit overprotective big brother that just really wants his sister all to himself. "
tsume said with a smile as he laughed. After getting enough of the display of fireworks they headed off to their room, they played a little midnight games together that they made up for themselves just so they weren't bored and later on fell asleep and I believe that is when Tommy finally realize he rather have this type of strong friendship relationship with her than the one he was trying to have
day 3)
By the next day when they woke up, Tommy decided to than a couple of more hours with tsume and also told her that it was okay for her to find the captain and have for a phone
"So you're breaking the deal?"
" in a way yes I am but instead of thinking of it as a date just think of this as a brother and sister hang out"
" Aww how sweet now I don't have to get Ryuichi and Christopher to come beat you up"
" wait, you were going to have them beat me up?"
Tommy says surprised that tsume giggled
" the plan from the beginning but seeing that you like so I don't think I want to anymore"
" you are so evil"
"thank you, kind sir, Christopher says the same thing when I want things"
After breakfast, they spent the afternoon just doing some downtime, eventually call Ryuichi and Got an earful of him wondering where she is and where Tommy is and she can hear Christopher in the background telling her if Tommy is doing anything to her that he's going to call the Navy on him. When she was finally able to come the panicked the boys down, she was finally able to tell them that everything is alright and that they will be home in 5 days. But before they can get anything else out tsume hang up the phone and return to Tommy. Continuing the days of relaxation
" you do realize I told Christopher and my boyfriend off for you right?"
" why did you do that?"
" I need a break you know"
" you're so dead when you return"
"I'm prepared," she said with a shrug.
aya's pov)
aya waited away from the crowd when the boat came back after 5 days and saw Ryuichi and Christ there waiting for tsume. once finally seeing them she saw them holding hands and smirked evilly believing it work until she threw herself into Ryuichi's arms and kissed him and was confused. they boys didnt even seem mad at Tommy or anything they all left together. aya wasn't happy about this but she wants the one to give up. so she returned back to her hotel room where a young girl sat on the sofa waiting for her
" you were correct, I guess it's your turn to move in now"
aya said as the girl with brown wavy hair that goes down to her back, she had on a pink shirt with baggy green pants and shoes.
" what's the point I told you I didn't care about him anymore"
"yes now you don't because she bet you to him, she has his heart and I know you still care for him"
the girl looked at aya then sigh
"I told you I was the one that..."
the girl said but aya cut her off
"I know and please don't try it again or else there will be far more things done to you
" it would never have happened if she would just stay out of my way and away from him"
" so much jealousy has built up inside you, you leave tomorrow," Aya said walking into the next room
