Haru and Rin walked along the street quietly holding hands. The sun was beaming down in the sky and the town was full of people. Luckily it wasn't as crowded as usual; just casually busy. This was a relief for Haru as she had always been overwhelmed by too many people ever since she was young.

Back when they used to go to each others houses as kids; when Haru was introduced to other peoples parents she would hide behind Makoto or Rin. The adults thought this was cute and petted her. After getting to know them she would be ok around them; but even into adulthood she still didn't do well around too many people.

For their date Rin was wearing a tight black T shirt with a water spiral on the front, Blue baggy jeans, a denim jacket, shark tooth necklace and vans. It was casual yet cool; laid back and yet comfy. He was good at taking two different categories of style and combining them into an outfit. Plus Haru had admitted before leaving he looked like a stud; while looking stunned at his outfit.

Haru had her long black hair fastened at the sides with blue hair clips. She was wearing a dark blue short poufy sleeved top with a V neck. Lower down she was wearing black skinny jeans and brown ankle boots. It was nothing showy or dressy; but she still managed to look good it in.

She was able to subtly pull off flirtation in her outfit; the boobs showed enough cleavage to tease; and her butt looked good in the jeans. SUCCESS. With these small advantages she would be able to keep Rin's attention to 100 percent. However she hadn't considered the problems that came as a backlash which Rin had.

While Haru was completely oblivious to it; Rin could see the amount of guys that were checking her out. It annoyed him how many guys checked out his girl; but also how unaware Haru was of her sexuality. She had always been a looker even as a child; and puberty had only exuded her natural sex appeal as she reached her teenage years.

Her curvy yet slender waist, those long shapely legs, her perfectly healthy sized breasts, those alluring blue eyes, that long silky raven black hair. Haru was a walking goddess. But Haru was his girl and he would never let any man take her from him. He loved her even if he didn't show it well. Losing her would destroy him mentally and emotionally.

He admitted that he wasn't the easiest person to get along with; he could be stubborn as hell and somewhat childish. But he loved her; she brought out the best in him and eased his self consciousness.

"Rin?" Haru said suddenly her eyes solemn but her expression blank. Something was bothering him she could tell; she had a good gut instinct for knowing when people close to her were troubled.

Rin snapped out of his daydream and looked at her "Yeah?" he responded awkwardly. He couldn't let her know he was having such thoughts. Today was supposed to be about her; doing things she liked. He couldn't ruin it by worrying over stupid things like perverted horn dogs who liked what his girlfriend was wearing.

Haru reached her arm up to touch Rin's cheek with her hand; he blushed profusely as she did so. She then leaned forward and kissed his cheek softly closing her eyes upon impact. The moment her lips touched his cheek he felt his heart race faster and time stop.

All the guys who had been checking her out in the street gasped; a few of them muttered crossly. Rin however was oblivious to it as he was in shock from what had happened; he wasn't used to this side of Haru.

He was used to her being quiet, stubborn, affectionate but cute. He was used to her just being sweet and cuddly; yet distant and blunt. She never took charge in affection and it was generally him who showered affection on her.

Eventually she pulled away her hand still on Rin's cheek. She gazed into his Maroon eyes quietly with her own blue orbs. She could kiss him forever if it meant she could ease all the troubles that loomed in his heart. She would do whatever it took to make Rin's smile never fade.

"Haru..." Rin said nervously. Was she feeling ok? Generally she was against public displays of affection; saying that people were staring. But today she was being bolder than usual; not that he hated it. In fact it would be nice if Haru took control more often.

Haru smiled gently; she knew that Rin got self conscious about how other guys were interested in her. She knew how he worried that he wasn't good enough but he tried his damn best. He did everything from back and beyond to show her how much he cared and how much she meant to him.

But she saw things in him that he didn't; things he often overlooked about himself. He was sweet natured and kind; his shyness was adorable and she loved that about him. He cared about others as well as her so much and she found that endearing. He had the biggest heart she had ever seen; so full of love and affection to the point of bursting.

"Baka; stop worrying about other guys" she chided bluntly. While it sounded like an insult; it was her way of saying she wasn't going anywhere. She didn't need anyone else; only him. So he didn't have to worry about stupid fuck-boys who checked her out simply for the fap material.

Rin went quiet for a few minutes the blushed wildly. How was it she knew when something was bothering him even when he didn't say it? He pulled her into a hug causing her to be raised onto her tiptoes. However she didn't mind it; she liked that he was taller than her. It made things fun now and again; especially when he carried her.

They stayed like that for a few minutes before Rin pulled away. He then placed her back on the ground and gazed into her eyes. He was tempted to kiss the crap out of her right now; but he was holding back for the sake of not embarrassing her.

"Feel better now?" Haru asked casually her tone hinting fondness. While she was never vocal about it; she did worry about Rin a lot. She hated seeing him troubled; and preferred seeing his smile much more.

Rin smiled slightly "Yeah; thanks to you" he said gently stroking a small strand of her hair. Upon hugging her he had gotten a deep waft of her shampoo; it smelled like sea minerals and mint.

Haru smiled a little then took his hand; she then started leading him ahead further into town. Now that Rin was feeling a bit more perked up she was going to make sure his smile didn't fade.

Rin yelped a little at her strength; she didn't look it but Haru could be strong when needed be. "Oi wait a second; don't just yank me like that" he argued shyly. If she was walking any faster he would fall over.

"Hurry up; I don't wanna waste the day" Haru replied stubbornly. She wanted to see the fish and show Rin the sharks. But above all she wanted to get stuffed toys to swap when they went to bed.

One of her biggest secrets since childhood was her love for stuffed toys; she had loved them since she was in preschool. She had never been allowed to collect too many as her mother said they took up too much room. But upon living with Rin she used him as her giant teddy bear; he was much warmer anyway.

Rin blinked then chuckled; she was just trying to cheer him up in her odd way. But it was working; and he was grateful for it. He would never meet another girl like her; not in a million years. She was one of a kind and irreplaceable in his heart; nobody could take her place.

He squeezed her hand a little; it was their sign language of saying thanks without speaking. They had used it ever since they started dating each other. Cheesy yes; but adorable.

Haru's smile grew a little bigger and she sighed gently. She then squeezed his hand back as a response. He was such a big idiot sometimes; but he was her idiot and she loved him.
