Disclaimer: Don't own Golden Sun. I'll be in my room crying if you need me XD
I'm really glad that you both enjoyed it. Midnyte Wolf – It's all right, really, writing helps to take my mind off things and keeps me busy XD It's better than me being bored. I think too much when I have nothing to do. Sure, I'll e-mail you. I've been meaning to but I just wanted to finish the second chapter before I did.
Random Stuff – I just watched the Hot Limit PV (by T.M.Revolution) It made me cry XD Not because it was sad (it's T.M.Revolution so the song was super hyper) …It was just…odd. I laughed. And cried XD (seriously, I did cry) He had the cameraman dancing, though God…Nishikawa-sama…I'm not sure what to say XD But I still love you! I don't care what you do. (sorry about that XD It had to be said since I just watched it).
Read and review please!
Chapter 2Somehow I had managed to convince my sister to let me go to Shizuoka for spring break, though, now that I think about it enough, it was not much of the fight that I had originally thought it would have been. Not that I am complaining. I am content. Well, more than just content, I am ecstatic, jumping for joy, all of the above and so much more.
We are using Picard's car to drive the four of us up to the hot springs and since Robin knows the way best, he is going to be driving. After a couple of minutes of debate about the seating arrangements, Garcia finally gives in, sitting in the front with Robin while I sit in the back with Picard (though it was not much of a battle).
"Thanks for letting us come with you, Robin." Picard smiles from the seat next to me as Robin pulls out of the parking lot in front of his apartment complex. "I've always wanted to go to a hot spring but I've just been so busy lately."
"Tell me about it." Garcia grumbles as he leans back in the car seat. I giggle as Picard shakes his head and lets out a sigh. He leans over to whisper into my ear.
"Garcia is just bitter, we haven't gotten to spend as much time together as he would have liked."
"I can hear you so don't bother whispering." Garcia glances at Picard in the rearview mirror, "That is right, which is why I am going to use this time at the hot springs to my advantage to make you make it up to me, whether you like it or not." Picard laughs softly and smiles at him gently.
"I do not believe that you will hear me complain even one, Garcia." I laugh along with him and turn to look away but when I feel a familiar gaze fall on me, I glance up and see Robin watching me in the rearview mirror, smiling at me quietly. I blush but quickly return the smile, knowing that it is meant only for me.
A couple of hours—filled with Robin and Garcia talking about anything that came to mind and Picard helping me decide what classes would be best for me to take during college—pass and we finally reach the hot spring. It is one of those traditional ones, very quiet and peaceful, the kind of place an overly stressed person would go to so that they could relax.
Robin parks the car in front of the entrance and climbs out, calling to his uncle as he still holds onto the car door. I climb out as well, stumbling slightly, and stretch, my muscles groaning in protest. Picard leans on the roof of the car, sighing at the building. "The air here is so fresh…I really did not know how much I needed a break from work." Garcia comes around the car, ruffling my hair as he passes.
"That's because you keep your nose buried in your work, you never give yourself a chance to breathe so you really do not know what you are missing out on." Picard rolls his eyes as he props his elbows on the top of the car and smirks at Garcia. I duck my head, wanting to avoid getting in the middle of any argument that might erupt between them. I take my place at Robin's side and he slides his arm around my shoulder.
"Come on, my uncle's not answering. I have to find the key to the front door and then we can get settled." He says to me softly before turning and raising his voice enough to get Picard and Garcia's attention. Currently Garcia is about to pounce on Picard, leaving them both in a very awkward position. "When you two kids are done playing, get your things out of the car. We should be ready by the time you are done."
"Aye, aye, Captain." Laughs Picard, saluting Robin before Garcia tackles him to the ground, leaving the older man in a fit of giggles. Robin sighs but I can see him smiling as he leads me up the wooden stairs and along the deck.
"I don't know if my uncle is here…but he always keeps a spare key in one of the potted plants along the front just in case he loses his own. Ah, that should be the one." He reaches into one of the pots and after searching for a moment, pulls out a soil covered key. He brushes the dirt off and grins at me.
"So, do you want to share a room with me or Picard?" I bump into him playfully, taking his wrists in my hands and making him wrap his arms around me, leaning back against his chest. "Hmm and here I was looking forward to sharing a room with you. Garcia snores you know and I am a terribly light sleeper. If we share a room I'll never be able to get to sleep once he starts—"
"Shut up, Robin." I say softly, turning around and kissing him soundly. I pull away before he can respond to it and smile at him as he blinks down at me, slightly dazed. "We're sharing a room, unless you want all three of the people you came up here with to be mad at you."
"I never want you to be mad at me." He whispers softly, wrapping his arms around me tightly. I can tell that he wants to say more but I do not pry. He presses his lips to my neck lightly before pulling away. He takes my hand, entwining his fingers with mine and taking me back to the front door. Garcia and Picard are still fooling around on the pebble driveway, Picard's laughter the only sound apart from Garcia's muffled words.
Robin unlocks the door while I listen to them and once he has the door open, he pulls me into the entry hall. I slip off my shoes and hand them to him as he hands me a pair of slippers. I step into them and follow him down the hall, sticking close to him so that I do not get lost, looking around the small hallway that branches off into many different ones. Though this is a hot spring, it looks more like a shrine than anything else, but I am not too surprised.
He pauses in front of a sliding door and looks back at me, smiling. I blink one and then twice. I know that smile. I latch onto his arm and grin at him, "What is it?"
"You're going to love this." I rub my cheek against his arm and he pushes the sliding door open. It leads into the center of the building, a small courtyard filled with strange plants and trees. "It's an open air bath."
"Wow…it's amazing…" I let go of his arm to explore the courtyard further but he stops me, catching my hand in his and pulling me back to him. "Robin?" He says nothing, merely leaning forward slowly, resting his other hand on my cheek. I swallow nervously before letting my eyes close, waiting for him to kiss me. His breath ghosts over my lips a second before the sound of footsteps reaches our ears.
"Here you are, Robin." He pulls away quickly, eyes wide. He whips around, giving my hand an apologetic squeeze before he answers the person who rudely interrupted us.
"Uncle, I thought you were out." The middle-aged man smiles knowingly and nods.
"I was. Oh, I ran into two of your friends outside…are they all right?" Robin nods, leaning back against me lightly.
"Yeah, they'll get their wits back eventually. Uncle, this is Ivan Tsunomi. Ivan, this is my uncle, he owns this hot spring." I lean around Robin and bow to the man.
"Nice to meet you."
"Ah, so this is the Ivan that Robin goes on and on about…" I catch Robin's blush out of the corner of my eye and smile to myself.
"Uncle…" The man laughs.
"Don't mind me, make yourselves at home. Robin, you've come here enough times to know where everything is so you should be all right to take care of your guests on your own, right?"
"Yes, uncle, thank you." With that, the man leaves the way he came and Robin lets out the breath he had been holding. He turns and smiles at me. "Sorry about that."
"It's all right, but I do think that you owe me a kiss." His smile widens, his eyes softening.
"Hmm, is that so?" I nod and quickly throw my arms around his neck. Just as he is about to kiss me, we are interrupted again.
"Oh, what a cute little boy you are!" Robin's aunt. This is going to be a long spring break.
TBCHope everyone liked this chapter I cut something out of it that I didn't think would fit so I'll put it here. While they were in the car, the little argument was mainly between Robin and Garcia and it went along the lines of "I don't want Ivan up front with me because he'll be too much of a distraction" – Robin. "You can drive with one hand, can't you?" – Garcia. Ha ha. Yeah. Didn't think it would fit. Plus I wrote that at like three in the morning when I couldn't sleep XD so it was a little insane (and my mind was currently fueled by yaoi so… sorry if I just lost the respect of some people XD I am almost seventeen here. At least…that's what I'm blaming it on)
