The next day was perfect. Kaoru had started loudly proclaming to the empty beach/world that I was his and that anyone else who touched me would face his wrath. I started blushing and forced him back inside. We did end up sharing a room, but it was only so we could be together. Although, it took a lot of convincing on my part to keep it that way.
The next day, Kaoru kept his promise by taking me out to the beach and starting swim lessons. The water was freezing and I only wore swim trunks, but it wasn't so bad since the whole time Kaoru was right up against me, showing me the motions so I could get used to them. The waves made it harder but I managed, and by the end of the day, I had mastered it. Kaoru and I celebrated by swimming out farther than we had gone before and he pulled me underwater and kissed me. It was awesome.
We went inside to what we discovered previously was a fully stocked with everything you could imagine kitchen and he made some chinese food since I was exhausted from all of the swimming. We ate our food and played some videogames. We played racing games, PacMan (which is my favorite), and some 1 vs. 1 fighting games, all of which Kaoru won because they were Asian and they were practically all he played. After a round that I actually managed to win, I remembered Mathias saying something about this beach house having a side porch. With a hot tub.
I jumped up from my seat next to Kaoru. "Hold on for a second!" I ran to the other side of the beach house and opened the door and I found it. "Holy crap get over here Kaoru!" He ran to my side immediately.
"Woah! Sweet!" He beamed as we found ourselves gazing over an awesome looking hot tub that we instantly hooked up and started heating. "We should totally use it tonight!"
"Most definitely." I agreed, equally happy for my newfound discovery.
"Hey, Icey," Kaoru asked, once again wearing his mischevious grin. DId he ever take it off? "How about we go without swim trunks?" A blush quickly formed on my face.
"I think not!" I started to walk towards my room to change when he put his arm around my waist.
"Okay, fine, but only because you are way too cute when you blush." He said sweetly.
We went to our separate rooms and put on our swim trunks and practically lept into the pool. It was so warm and comfortable, why hadn't Lukas mentioned it specifically? We sat there in silence for a while, just soaking up the warmth of the pool. Kaoru moved closer to me and that made me happy. I remembered one important thing to ask him.
"Kaoru?" I asked, slightly worried.
"Yes dear?" He replied with a smirk.
"You won't tell my brother that I almost drowned, right?" I had some worry in my eyes, and Kaoru saw it.
"Of course not, but only if you promise not to tell my brother that we share a room." He said, just as worried as me.
"Cool, same goes for mine." I sighed a sigh of relief and leaned into Kaoru. He and I sat like that for a while, both completely comfortable. When we finally went inside, we put on nightclothes and went to bed.
"I love you." Kaoru whispered, kissing my forhead.
"I love you too." I said, falling asleep in his arms.
