Haru exited the bathroom quietly rubbing her hair with a towel. She had pulled on a thin dark blue summer top and black skirt. Underneath she was wearing a simple black bra and boy shorts.

Now that she felt cooler and less sweaty she could make dinner. After running here was sure Rin would be hungry. She had already been patient enough and waited this long; it would be rude not to get cooking.

"Rin-chan; I'm gonna start dinner ok?" she called casually. She made her way into the sitting room quietly. She wondered if Rin had taken her stuff upstairs yet or just waited for her.

Rin was sat on the patio gazing at Haru's garden quietly. She had changed into a blue sleeveless denim belly shirt and white shorts. Despite the fact she was dressed like a complete Tomboy; Haru couldn't help but think she looked kind of cute.

The shark toothed girl turned to smile at Haru "I brought something you might like. I left it in the kitchen for you" she said cheekily. She had been planning it in advance for today; as to surprise Haru.

Haru raised an eyebrow but made her way into the kitchen. She just hoped she hadn't brought her something weird as a joke. While she may not look it; Rin was very good at playing tricks on people.

As she made her way into the kitchen her eyes lit up with pure joy. She hadn't expected something like this from Rin. There were 2 vanilla ice red bean fish on the counter and fresh shrimp. It had been so long since she had shrimp and they were still cold too.

She rushed back into the seating area excitedly "Rin! Where?! How?!" Haru questioned eagerly. While she loved Mackerel the most she was also a fan of multiple seafood recipes.

Rin turned to smile at her "I picked them up from home earlier on my way. I bought them the day before as a surprise. Thought you might like some Gyouza" she said cheekily.

She stared quietly at Rin small flowers appearing behind her. Never in her life had she been so happy to see so much fish. She would definitely have to pay back Rin for this. First she got the aquarium tickets; now she brought shrimp?!

Without hesitation she made her way into the kitchen and tied up her long hair. If she left it any longer if would go bad; and Rin had gone out of her way to buy it. She would definately make something delicious to repay her.

Rin listened to Haru bustle about in the kitchen quietly and chuckled to herself "She is seriously too cute" she said quietly.

An hour later

Haru set the table quietly as she placed grilled salt mackerel, shrimp Gyouza, miso soup and ginger iced tea on the table. It was way too warm to drink hot tea so she made ice tea as a replacement.

"Wow Haru! This looks amazing!" Rin cried excitedly her mouth watering. While she didn't like mackerel much the shrimp smelled amazing. She had made the right choice by buying it.

Haru gave her a stern look "Don't just eat the shrimp; you have to eat the other fish too" she warned. Rin had a bad habit of eating a certain dish if there was anything else she didn't like.

Rin pouted "But you only ever eat mackerel anyway. Why does it matter?" she whined crossly. If she had to live off one thing; Haru would just eat Mackerel. Hell it was rare that she ever ate much else.

Haru poked her head sharply making the magenta haired girl wince "Wasting food is bad. Now eat up" she said firmly. She had worked hard to make a meal they would both like; not so Rin could pick at it.

Rin rubbed her sore forehead then began to eat. Why was Haru such a meanie? It was really un-cute. She hesitated then took a mouthful of Mackerel; to her surprise it wasn't as salty as she expected. This was a relief as usually she would have to drink so much water afterward.

Haru saw her expression and raised an eyebrow "What?" she questioned firmly. Had she expected it to be bad? She had been cooking for a long time now; she wasn't an idiot.

"It's not as salty this time" she said pleasantly. It was at least more bearable to eat this time. Hell she might even ask Haru to make it again...maybe.

Haru bowed her head shyly "Last time...you didn't like it. So I added less salt" she explained quietly. She knew Rin had a sensitive pallet so she been careful not to overpower it with salt.

Rin blinked then became all teary eyed; she had done that just for her? "Haru-chan" she cried tearfully. She felt so touched that Haru had gone to all this effort for her sake.

"Stop crying your tears will only add more salt" Haru scolded bluntly. Why did Rin have to make such a big scene? But at the same time it was very cute; which made it worse.

Without hesitation Rin began to eat more eagerly enjoying the cooking Haru had made. If only she was this delicate with her flavourings usually; then she would devour it mercilessly.

Haru watched Rin eat quietly and smiled to herself. She liked watching Rin eat; it brought her comfort knowing she enjoyed her cooking. She hoped she could cook more for her in the future.

Afterwards

Rin stretched happily as she finished her meal. Being friends with Haru certainly kept her well fed. Hell even if she could be really sharp tongued; she would make a great wife someday.

"For all your complaints you certainly ate a lot" Haru stated bluntly. However given her energy; it was understandable. Rin certainly pushed herself in training and exercise daily.

Rin frowned "I'm a growing girl; I need my nutrients" she said defensively. If she was to become a swimmer; she needed plenty of protein. It kept her body strong and healthy for competitions and training.

Haru froze and shot her a suspicious look "Growing where exactly?" she stated bluntly. As if Rin had anywhere else she needed to grow; her assets were certainly not lacking in the least.

Rin then peered at Haru's chest quietly and then her own. Haru was a healthy C cup despite all the fish she ate; Rin was a well proportioned D cup which she got from her mother.

She blushed wildly and covered her chest "It's genetic! My mum has big boobs too!" she yelled in embarrassment. It's not like she planned on them getting this big; they just grew suddenly when she was younger.

Haru said nothing simply whistling as she took though the dirty bowls. She did enjoy teasing Rin sometimes; because she always reacted. However she secretly loved the idea of playing with them one day.

Rin growled crossly; saying such things made Haru sound like a dirty old man. However given her personality she had no problem saying rude things now and again in a monotone voice. How was it that Haru could be so cute and yet say such rude things so easily? She swore Haru had the personality of a guy sometimes.

"BAKA HARU!" she yelled crossly her eyes tearful. She felt really annoyed now; why did Haru have to ruin the moment like that? She had really been enjoying herself; then Haru went and said something stupid again.

"Sharpie" Haru retorted bluntly. She might as well give up now; in every argument they ever had Haru always won. It had always been that way even when they were kids.

Rin stiffened quietly then curled up a ball sulking. Why was Haru such a meanie? It really wasn't cute. Sometimes she wondered if Haru enjoyed teasing her and seeing her cry.

Haru watched her from the kitchen quietly and smiled. She was always her cutest when she was like this. However she was the only person allowed to tell Rin such things. It was her right to pick on Rin; because she was the person closest to her.

She would never forgive anyone who made Rin cry; because that was her job. It had been ever since the day they first met. Because it was her special job.
