"Phew! Talk about not knowing all your stuff till you pack it!" Miki sighed. Her room looked like it had gone through hell and back. Clothes were laying everywhere, junk was all over the floor and empty and half-full boxes were scattered around. 'But it doesn't really matter! Hehe, cause Yuu and I are finally going to be living together! Kyaa!' Ever since they had bought that luxury condo Miki just couldn't seem to stop smiling. And to make it even better, Ginta and Arimi bought the one right across the hall from them! Talk about lucky! 'I can't believe it! It seems so surreal! I mean Meiko getting married with Nachan, and having Miyuki-chan! Everyone finishing college and getting ready to start working on designing Triple Flava. God, these past few years sure have flown by. But it seems that Yuu and I seem to love each other even more everyday! If that's even possible! Hehe!' As Miki is off daydreaming, she doesn't notice Yuu sneaking up behind her……
Miki suddenly feels a pair of arms encircling her waist. "I see we haven't progressed much since this morning hmm?" Yuu snickered as he nibbled her neck (Owe Owe! Getting it on already Yuu! ;;).
"Hehe, Yuu! Well, it's not that easy you know! Not to mention it's really hot!"
"Oh really? Then why is it that I have already finished? Hmmmm?"
Miki just gives him a knowing smirk. "Because you probably threw everything in a box not even looking twice and labeled it 'Yuu's Stuff'." Yuu just smiles nervously, 'Damn sweatdrop she's right'. (Don't all guys do that? I know my brother does! lol ;;) "Well, I'll help you finish packing all your stuff later Miki, but we gotta go to Ikea (to tell you the truth, I don't really like that store, but that's ok) and get the new furnisher with Ginta and Arimi, remember?"
"Huh? Oh yeah, I forgot…sweatdrop ok, go down and start the car and I'll be down in a minute. Oh yeah, Yuu did you stop by the bank with Ginta yesterday?"
"Yeah, don't worry. We got enough money to get everything."
"Ok, thanks Yuu, I'll be right down."
"'Kay, hurry!"
'Hmm, now what to wear that I haven't packed? sweatdrop ahh……aha! I found them! Yay!' Miki slipped on a pink shirt that had a picture of a bunny on the front and 'Playboy Bunny' written on the back (wish I had a shirt like that, but my mom would kill me ). Along with a pleaded jean skirt and brown Nike Ace shoes with a pink check on the side (I have those 2 things thou! My mommy bought them for me! ). Miki grabbed her purse and a hair tie in her mouth while trying to put her hair up in a pony tail all while running downstairs (I've done that, it's hard! ;) "Okfay Buu het's vo! (Okay Yuu let's go! Is what she's trying to say with a hair tie in her mouth)" Miki said as she got in their light blue Volkswagen Jetta that they had bought last year (my uncle has that car, I want one to!). Yuu sweatdropped as he put the car into drive and started for Ginta's then Arimi's house.
As they were driving Yuu looked at Miki and noticed her pink shirt. 'There's only one shirt that I know that's that pink……'
"Miki, are you wearing your playboy bunny shirt?" Yuu asked as he sweatdropped for what seemed like the 10th time that day.
"Yeah, I found it!"
"…………………………"
Miki looked at Yuu as he kept glancing over at her nervously. She looked confused for a minute, but then realization struck her. "Ooooo, I get it, your worried that I'm gonna get hit on by guys! Aren't you?" Yuu stopped at a red light and smiled knowingly, "Yeah, I guess I am……I just don't want any guy thinking of you that way, you're my girl!" Miki smiled lovingly. "And I always will be." She said as she kissed him. Of course both of them wanted to continue kissing but unfortunately the light had turned green cars were starting to honk at them. Yuu just laughed and pressed the gas pedal. Miki was fiddling with the radio when her phone rang.
Somebody hit the lightsso we rock it day and nightfrom AM to PM (Btw, in case you didn't get it, this is the ringer, so most of them are gonna have a song, 'kay? 'kay! )
Miki dug in her purse and pulled out her flip phone. She checked the screen. "It's Ginta."
somebody hit the lightsso we rock it-
"Hey!"
"Hey, are you guys almost here?"
"Yeah, we'll be there in a few. So you can wait outside."
"Okay, but you don't have to go to Arimi's house, she came over so we can head straight for Ikea."
"Ok, that's great-"
"Hey Miki!" Arimi yelled from the background.
"Arimi, you yelled into my ear!" Ginta said annoyed.
"Oh, I'm sorry sweetie."
"Haha, it's okay. Anyway Miki we'll be waiting outside for you guys 'kay?"
"'Kay, see you soon, bye Ginta!"
"Later Miki!"
"Bye Miki!"
"Heh, bye Arimi."
Miki snapped her phone shut and put it back in her purse. "Let me guess, Arimi's already there?" Miki just laughed. "Yep, your right as usual Yuu." They continued to drive in silence listening to the music on the radio. A few minutes later they arrived at Ginta's house. As soon they saw them, Yuu honked the car and Arimi and Ginta waved back. "Hey guys, what's up?" Arimi said cheerfully as she and Ginta got into the backseat of the car. "Haha, we're fine. Oh yeah! Arimi do you have-" before Miki could finish her sentence, Arimi chipped in, "The lists? I got them!" Yuu and Ginta both sweatdropped. Yuu looked at Ginta through the mirror and said, "They made lists?" Ginta just looked back with nervously and replied "Oh shit." Both boys just laughed while the girls both gave them evil glares. "You know, sometimes I wonder why we even bother." Miki said out loud. "Me to." Came Arimi's simple answer. At this both boys shut up and sweatdropped. "Hey, that was a little harsh, don't ya think Miki?" Yuu seemed kinda scared now more than anything. "Nope." 'Gee, thanks a ton Miki dear.' Was the thought that was going through Yuu's mind right about now, and a similar one was going through Ginta's about Arimi. "Anyway, the reason we made the list was to make sure we got everything we need for our new house, er, condo. Since we don't have anything except clothes and stuff for the bedroom and possibly a little for the bathroom, we need to get everything, and I mean everything!"
"Miki's right, you guys, so we made lists of things we'll need. Down to every last detail." Arimi smiled at them.
"Okay, so what have you girls got down?" Ginta seemed somewhat impressed that Miki and Arimi had thought of compiling a list.
Miki started out, "Well, it goes by room. We have 6 rooms: kitchen, living room, dinning room, bedroom, office and a bathroom. And you and Arimi have the same thing."
Now it was Arimi's turn to explain the plan. "Then we wrote down what each room needed that we already don't have. Which is pretty much everything sweatdrop. Now the only thing we have to do is decide which room to start with."
Ginta immediately said the bedroom. Arimi said the dining room, while Miki said the living. Yuu decided that the kitchen was the most important because they needed to make food there. At this, everyone agreed that it was the most important room. As everyone argued about which room was the next most important Miki started to wander off in another daydream………'Gosh, I can't believe we're really doing this!' She quickly took a glance at Yuu. 'And with the man of my dreams too! Hehe!' Yuu felt like someone was watching him, when he turned his head he noticed Miki was looking at him and smiling. When she saw him turn his head towards her, she blushed but Yuu just gave her a warm, loving smile. (Ah! That's so kawaii! ) As he turned his head back to focus on driving (which I'm sure hasn't been very easy with all the arguing) he noticed something ahead, "Oh, hey look you guys! We're here!" Everyone turned forward and starting cheering. And as the drove in the parking lot, Yuu noticed a parking space near the front and quickly grabbed it. Miki was so proud of him, "You're the best Yuu! Not only did you get us here in record time, you found us a great parking spot!" Yuu just smiled, "Heh, no problem." Ginta and Arimi had already gotten out of the car, and Yuu was about to when Miki suddenly kissed him. "That's for being the best!" was all she said as she got out of the car. 'Then I think I should be doing more of this!' Yuu thought and laughed to himself. As the couples started to walk toward the big blue and yellow store, Ginta held Arimi's hand and Yuu put his arm around Miki, just so everyone knew they were together.
They spent the whole day at Ikea. The girls were mostly the ones to choose the new things but Yuu and Ginta did have some impute. After they had finished most of the rooms, Ginta realized something. "Wait a minute, I forgot, how are we supposed to arrange the bedding!" Miki and Yuu looked at Ginta blankly while Arimi started to blush as she understood what Ginta meant.
Miki looked at Yuu and he nodded back to her. "Well, uh, you see, Yuu and I have decided-"
"That we're getting one bed together, king size."
Arimi and Ginta looked at them in shock. Arimi was the first to comment, "M-m-iki, I didn't know you had it in you!"
CRASH
"ARIMI! GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF THE GUTTER! YOU TO GINTA!"
Yuu just looked on in amusement as Miki was chasing Ginta and Arimi around the 2nd floor. Finally he decided to cut in, before either Ginta or Arimi got hurt . "Listen you guys, it's not like that. Miki and I discussed it and we decided to get one bed because it will be easier. All we're doing is sleeping in the same bed. Ginta, you and Arimi should be able to do that, I mean, come on, you guys care about each other right?" Both of them nodded. "Then get one bed, you care about each other like Miki and I care about each other, we're adults, we can handle it. I mean for Pete's sake we're living together aren't we?" Everyone laughed after Yuu's comment, but Ginta and Arimi realized that Yuu was right.
Arimi looked at Ginta and smiled, "Yuu's right, we're already living together, we can share a bed together!" Ginta smiled back, "Yeah." Was all he said as he put his arm around her. Miki and Yuu were pleased that they got them to buy one bed. "Now's there's only one problem left!" Miki announced.
"What's that?" Arimi asked.
"What size do you want?" Everyone laughed, including Miki. After a little talking and a lot of pleading form Arimi, Ginta agreed to buy the king-size bed too.
Afterwards the gang continued to go around the store to look for more things for the condos. After many long hours of shopping and deciding, they finally were in the check out line. But as Ginta got the bill……"HOLY CRAP! $7,864.21!" At this Ginta pretty much passed out and while Miki was trying to revive him Arimi got out his credit card and paid for everything all the while apologizing to the cashier, "I'm so sorry, I guess I forgot to warn him. sweatdrop" But the cashier didn't seem to mind and just smiled, "Let me guess, first time moving in together? You two too?" she said nodding to Yuu and Miki. They just smiled and nodded back. "But unlike Ginta here, I know what to expect. Especially when you're buying things for every single room in our new home." The cashier laughed and gave Yuu their bill. "Hmm, $8,254.87. Not bad, only a little more than Ginta's." Miki's eyes went wide as she suddenly remembered something. 'Wait, Yuu's paying for the bill, and I haven't chipped in any money at all. Oh I can't let him do that!'
"Wait Yuu! Let me pay for half of the bill! You can't keep paying for everything!" Miki face showed just how guilty and worried she felt. Yuu had a blank look on his face for a moment, but then just smile. (Sheesh, everyone's smiling a lot today! Lol ) "No it's ok Miki, I want to pay for everything."
"But it's not fair, it's our home, I should help pay for it to!"
The cashier seemed to be able to sense Miki's distress. "Honey, listen to me. Your boy here likes pay for everything because it makes him feel proud, like he can take care of you. It's an ego thing."
"She's right Miki," Ginta said, he had just gotten back up , "Yuu and I like to buy everything for you and Arimi because then it makes us feel like you can depend on us for anything. It makes us really happy."
Yuu by now had walked over to Miki and was holding her hands. "Ginta's right, I do it because I love getting you things. But don't ever think that I'm obliged to do it, because I'm not. I want to do it, ok?" (KAWAII! KAWAIII! ) Miki nodded and gave him a small smile. Yuu could tell that she was still feeling a little guilty, but then had an idea of how to make her feel better. "Tell you what, when we get home, how about you make me dinner?" Miki looked at him like he was crazy, "But you hate my cooking! You always complain about the food that I make!" At this everyone sweatdropped. But Yuu just laughed, "I don't hate it, don't you notice I always eat it all? That's because I like it silly!" Miki laughed and agreed to make him dinner. "Well I'm glad that's all sorted out!" the cashier said, apparently enjoying the show. Miki and Yuu both sweatdropped. Yuu finished paying the bill and arranged that all the furnisher and items that were bought would be delivered to their new condo.
Yuu dropped Ginta and Arimi off and started driving home. He looked over at Miki and saw that she had fallen asleep. He just smiled gently and turned off the radio so it wouldn't bother her. When they arrived, Yuu parked the car and turned off the engine.
"Miki, Miki honey wake up. We're home, come on wake up."
"Hmm……yes I'll have bologna with my CD player."
"………………sweatdrop" Yuu sighed and put his hand in his hair, "looks like I'm making dinner tonight. Oh well, she's probably really tired from all that shopping." He got out of the car and shut the door slowly, not making any noise, and walked over to Miki's side. He gently lifted her out of the seat and carried her to her room, well actually more like a battlefield, with all her stuff everywhere. Yuu just shook his head slighty with a small smile on his face. 'she is something else...but that's why I love her.' He laid her down and kissed her forehead. " 'night love". He said softly as he closed her door shut. Miki smiled lighty in her sleep as she difted off into a dream...
