Summer Lover
Chapter 3: Love and kisses
by YYY
"Why don't you go out and surf with your friends?" Akira asks Hikaru.
"You're not feeling well, right? Let's go home so you can get some rest." Hikaru says.
"I'm fine. I feel great. The food is so good I ate too much and I don't want to go surfing in a full stomach, that's all." Akira asks. The truth is, Akira isn't feeling too well. Most of his time he sits at his father's GO temperature-controlled salon; today he has too much exerise and the night air is too harsh and cold.
Akira's stomach is not feeling too well either. His diet consists of mostly boiled warm green tea, rice and bread with some vegetables. Today he eats too much meat, seafood, raw and cold fruity drinks. The sugar, protein and fat is not settling too well in his stomach.
"Come on. You can use some rest. Let's return the surfboard and go home." Hikaru says.
"No, I don't want you to leave your friends. They are waiting for you." Akira protests, but Hikaru is already heading toward the surfboard rental place. They return their boards, put on their clothes and walk to Akira's car.
The walk to the car is too quiet. Hikaru tries to start a conversation to break the silent. "Akira, how long have you been learning how to surf?" Hikaru asks.
"I have been surfing so long I don't remember when I started. I have always loved surfing."
"Really?"
"Well, no. Not really. To tell you the truth I just learned to surf for a month. This is the first time I surf without my trainner." Akira says.
"No Way! You just learned to surf? I thought you have been surfing for a long time! You look so awsome out there."
"I was lucky today, but I don't want to keep lying to you. I don't know how long I can pretend I am a surfer before you find out that I don't really know how to surf."
"It doesn't matter to me if you don't know how to surf. You don't have to pretend in front of me."
"Hikaru, you have always been speacial to me; and I want to be more than your rival in your GO career. I want to be part of your life."
"Still, you don't have to pretend you are a surfer. If you want to hang out, we can go watch a movie or something."
"When I asked you out, I was planning it to be our first date. I wanted this weekend to be special, something that will swept you off your feet. Remember last summer when we have a GO competition at the water world? After we played GO you can't wait to get to the water. You and your friends were laughing so happily when you surf on the artifical wave pool. You looked so good at that time, the photographer took a picture of you surfing and put that picture on the cover of the GO magazine."
"Oh, I remember that picture. That was embarrassing." Hikaru blushes.
"It's not embarrassing. It's a very nice shot of you. I keep that pic at my room. When I was planning for our first date, I saw that pic and I remembered how much you love to surf. That is why I went to take surfing lesson. I wanted to take you to the beach and give you a unforgettable date."
"You take surfing lesson just so you can take me here surfing?"
"Yeah, I went to tanning salon to get a tan also. I want to be a surfer so I can have a great time with you at the beach."
Hikaru feels horrible. "I'm so sorry, Akira! I don't know about any of that! You worked so hard so you can spend some times with me and I left you hanging at the beach while I go off and surf with other people!" Hikaru apologizes.
"Don't be sorry. You look great out there. I had a great time watching you today. As long as I can see you smile like that, nothing matter to me." Akira says.
"I still can't believe this is the first time you surf without a trainner. You're amazing! You really a a prodigy! You can be good at anything!" Hikaru beams as they reach Akira's car. "Oh, today is wonderful.One more thing and then this will be a great date!"
"One more thing?"
"You still haven't give me a kiss."
Akira stands there dumbfounded for almost 30 seconds before he realizes what Hikaru just said. The Prince of GO smiles, walks up to Hikaru and wraps his arms around Hikaru's waist. Slowly, Akira leans forward and presses his lips on Hikaru's lips
Hikaru closes his eyes and warps his arms over Akira's shoulder. Akira's kiss turn from shy to passionate and loving. Underneath the silver moonlite, Akira and Hikaru press again each other and share a kiss that seems to last for eternity. Finally, they run out of breath and break the kiss reluctantly.
Hikaru grins, "I was right. you're good at everything. You're an amazing kisser!"
Akira brushes Hikaru's hair away from Hikaru's eyes. The prince of Go then look deep into Hikaru's eyes and says, "I love you, Hikaru."
Hikaru wants to say 'I love you too', but before the words can come out from Hikaru's mouth, his lips are sealed by Akira's second kiss.
Akira is an VERY amzing kisser.
This is the best summer ever!
