Chapter 5 - School Trip
"Why do I have to be partnered with a stupid woman like you on our school trip? Damn it. I want to ride on the same bus with Juudaime. I'm his right-hand man. I need to be next to him."
"No use complaining, Gokudera-san. It can't be helped since we are on the same class desu. And how many times do I have to tell you? Haru is not stupid!"
"Shut up. You are annoying." Hayato was sitting next to the window with a bored expression on his face. He was looking aimlessly at the view outside with his hand underneath his chin.
"Here. Just eat." He moved his vision towards her and saw her holding out a potato chip towards his mouth. That made him blush slightly.
"What are you doing?" It was really tempting but he looked away and brushed her off. "I don't want any."
"C'mon. We still have two hours before we get to the sea side. Haru brought a lot of snacks. You should at least eat something desu."
"Tch. How are you going to wear a bikini later if you're eating too much now, idiot!"
"Hahi!" She flushed in embarrassment. She puffed her cheeks then an idea suddenly flashed in her mind.
.
.
.
"I didn't know Gokudera-san was looking forward to see Haru in a swimsuit that much." She crossed her arms and smirked triumphantly.
"Haah?! Who would want to see you?" He grumbled irritably to hide the red tint spreading across his face. "I'd rather go blind, dumb woman. You don't have any sex appeal at all."
Haru heated up like a boiling kettle. 'I'll make you eat your own words later, Bakadera! Just wait and you'll see.'
They didn't talk for the rest of the trip. Hayato just took a nap as he listened to some rock music while Haru read some manga she has brought.
When they reached their first destination, they visited some historical villages, shrines and tea ceremony gardens. After sightseeing and experiencing old Japanese culture, they proceeded to their hotel by the sea. They checked-in their luggage and ate lunch. In the afternoon, they hiked all the way to the mountains and went to see a temple. And then finally at 3pm, they were free to swim and play at the beach.
"Juudaime~! Finally, I get to see you. The day trip was boring as hell." The silvered haired boy came running to Vongola Decimo who was sitting under an umbrella with the school idol, Kyoko.
"Ah Gokudera-kun! Here you are. Where is Haru?" The brunette haired boy asked.
"Who knows? She might still be in her room, changing. She ate a lot of snacks earlier so she's probably too embarrassed to come out."
Not long after, the baseball jock arrived, holding a bag of drinks. "Yo Gokudera! You are also here." He handed each of them a can of juice.
The four were enjoying their drinks when suddenly Tsuna dropped his beverage.
"What is it, Tsuna?" Takeshi followed his line of vision and his mouth gaped open.
"Tch. Baseball-idiot, what are you staggering for?" Like the two spiky haired boy, the Smoking Bomb was also muzzled by a mesmerizing view.
.
.
.
A dazzling hot girl in a black two-piece bikini was heading their direction. Everyone was turning their heads as she makes her entrance. Her soft, creamy breasts and long, slender legs are making all the guys in the beach drool.
"Sorry for making you wait, guys." The brunette girl merrily greeted as she tilted her head on one side.
"Wow, Haru-chan! You look very stunning and sexy." The orange haired girl commented.
"Thank you, Kyoko-chan. You also look very charming in your pink and green bikini."
"But you are an eye-catcher, Haru-chan. Everyone was entranced by your beauty. You even made our boys drop their jaws." This made the trio snap back to reality.
.
"No, Kyoko-chan, it's not what you think. I wasn't-" The blushing boy was trying to justify himself.
"Tch. Like hell I was. The lacey edges just caught my attention. Did you sew you that from a curtain or what?"
"Hahi! That's so rude, Gokudera-san! I think it's your mouth that's needed to be sewn."
.
Everyone laughed as they watch the two bicker once again. Right just then, a flock of girls swarmed to Takeshi and they invited him to play beach volleyball. Since he has a warm and friendly personality, he couldn't reject his fans, and so he entertained them. The dynamite guy's fans also came for him but they were only chased away by his harsh yells.
Kyoko then invited Haru to swim but she kindly turned her down, "Sorry, Kyoko-chan. Haru still hasn't put on some sun screen. Maybe later. How about you go first with Tsuna-san?"
"Alright! Let's go and play in the water then, Juudaime!" The dense right-hand man exclaimed.
Kyoko and Tsuna walked to the seashore followed by Hayato behind them. Then suddenly a hand pulled the storm guardian away without the two teenagers realizing that he disappeared.
"What are you doing, stupid woman? Let go of me! I want to swim with Juudaime."
"Moron! You will only just get in their way. For heaven's sake, leave the two of them alone so Tsuna-san can make a move already." He didn't say a word and just fixed his emerald orbs on her chocolate eyes with concern.
"What? Don't look at me with those pitiful eyes. Haru is okay desu."
The two sat back underneath their beach umbrella. Under the shade, Haru can't do anything but watch the painful sight. Tsuna was pushing around the swimming tube that Kyoko was sitting on while she splashes water at him. She cringed in pain as she watched them laugh and have fun.
The girl with big doe-like eyes shook her head.
.
'No! Haru shouldn't be sulking in a corner.
This is my last school trip in high school. I should be having fun desu.
Wait a minute. I feel like I've forgotten something.
Ah, that's right! How can I forget?"
.
She eyed the man sitting beside her. 'So you think Haru has no sex appeal at all, huh? I'll show you, bakadera!'
.
The girl in black bikini bent one of her knees towards her and let the other leg stretched flat. She started to rub sunblock lotion between her palms then she ran them down to her forearms and to her upper arms.
Hayato glanced at her and his face instantly heated up when he saw what she was doing. 'Chotto. What does this stupid woman think she's doing?' He immediately looked away but he cannot stop the urge to throw side glances at her.
Haru playfully stroked her nape and neck then her fingers teasingly traveled down to her cleavage.
The silver haired boy gulped. 'Oi. Doesn't she give a fuck that a man is sitting next to her or she's not bothered because he doesn't see me as a man? Damn woman! What do you take me for?'
The brunette girl continued to tenderly massage her stomach in a circular motion. After that, she started to caress her long, slender legs. 'How is that, bakadera? You may be an arrogant, cold bastard but you are still only a man desu.'
Hayato concentrated in keeping the blood in his nose from dripping but it seemed he was almost at his limit. He sighed in relief when he saw her changing position but he stiffened when he found her lying face-down.
.
.
.
"Ne, can you help Haru put sunblock lotion on her back, Go-ku-de-ra-kun~?"
This caused the silver haired man to shudder but he held himself together. 'Calm down, Hayato. This stupid woman must have something up her sleeves. That's right. Was it because I told her she has no sex appeal?'
"Ne, Gokudera-kun, p-l-e-a-s-e?"
Even if he knew she was just playing around, he couldn't help but be enticed. She was lying down right beside him with just a tiny piece of clothing covering barely her private parts and exposing too much of her skin. Even if he denies it, his manly instinct is telling him he really wanted to touch and feel her.
'Gokudera-san's face looks troubled but cute.' Haru giggled in her mind. 'I guess this is enough before he even spouts that I'm disgusting or – eh? No way!'
.
.
.
A small squeak escaped her lips as cold liquid and warm hands touched her back. The physical contact caused her body to tremble slightly. Having her back caressed by someone from the opposite sex sent her body tingling. She tried to suppress the feeling as she covered her mouth to avoid a moaning sound from seeping from her mouth.
'What the hell am I doing? I'm acting like a pervert.' The red-faced boy couldn't resist the temptation as if his body has moved on its own. His mind was telling him no but his body would not obey. He was hungrily staring at her nape as he ran his hands on her back.
.
"What are you two doing?" A familiar voice made them jump in surprise. Then, a scream was heard from the hahi girl.
"Ahhhhhhh! That hurts desu."
"Ah Juudaime, you're back. It's nothing. I was just scratching this stupid woman's back. She said the itchiness was killing her. It must be an insect bite." Hayato said nervously as sweat ran down his face. He glanced over the brunette girl and saw her giving him a look full of daggers.
"We came back to get you. We wanted to have fun with you, guys, but it seems you're already having fun here by yourselves." Kyoko gave them a knowing smile.
"No, we are not!" The two blushing teenagers shouted in unison.
Their clique spent the rest of their free time playing some beach games and activities until sunset.
On their way back to the resort, Haru's leg suddenly started to cramp up. Takeshi immediately attended to her. He knows very well how to handle this kind of glitch since as an athlete, he surely came across this numerous times.
He softly massaged her leg and this made Haru go red in the face. Then, he gently stretched the sore muscle until the cramp went away.
"Thank you, Takeshi-san, Haru feels better now."
He placed his one hand on her back and the other under her knees then he carried her in bridal-style.
"Hahi! Takeshi-san, put Haru down. It's embarrassing. Many people are looking at us."
"It's fine. Your leg is injured."
"I can walk already and, no, it's not okay desu. I'm receiving death glares from your fangirls. Haru doesn't want to die yet."
He chuckled at the extremity of her imagination, "Don't worry! I won't let them lay a finger you. And besides, it's not only girls who are watching. Look! Even guys. They must be jealous that I'm carrying a beautiful girl in my arms."
That made her blush slightly but she didn't take it seriously. She thought Takeshi is naïve and carefree so there can possibly be no special meaning behind what he says. And besides, they're very close friends.
Kyoko, Tsuna and Hayato was walking behind them.
"How sweet! Being carried in a bridal-style during sunset."
"Tch. Attention-seeking idiots." The Smoking muttered under his breath.
The night fell and the moon was shining brightly. Haru strolled around the beach when suddenly she heard a boy and a girl talking.
"Yamamoto-san, I really like you. Please go out with me."
.
'Hahi! Haru runs into a confession scene. Eavesdropping is bad but I'm really curious desu.' She hid herself behind a huge rock.
.
"Thank you. I really appreciate your feelings but I'm very sorry. I cannot go out with you."
.
'Poor girl! I wonder how many girls had Takeshi-san already turned down using that line.'
.
"It's okay. I understand. I'm already contented that I could confess my feelings to you but please at least let me know why."
"Well... Actually,
.
.
.
I already have someone I like."
.
'Ouch. That's got to be painful to hear. I wanna hug her. Haru understands her feelings so well. Liking someone who already likes someone else. Wait. That is not the point here. Takeshi-san has someone he likes? Haru doesn't even know about that. We are very close, aren't we? Why didn't he tell me about it?'
.
"Who? Let me guess,
.
.
.
Is it Miura Haru?"
.
'Hahi! Me?' Her heart suddenly started to beat rapidly.
.
"Eh?"He chuckled, "Why would you think so?"
.
'That's right! What is this girl saying? Where did she get that idea?'
.
"Because she is the only girl you are very close with. But,
.
.
.
doesn't she already have Gokudera-san?"
.
'HHAAHHII! Me and Gokudera?! That is the worst thing I've ever heard! Who in their crazy mind would assume that we are together?'
.
The girl added, "They are like a bickering couple, aren't they? I also heard he walks her home everyday. It must not be her then since the three of you are really close friends."
Takeshi just laughed it off, "Beats me. I'm sorry but I got to catch up with my friends now. You should go too because the bonfire is almost starting."
.
.
.
The rain guardian walked away with a serious expression on his face. He was irritated but he wouldn't let it get on his nerves. 'So it wasn't just me who is noticing their sudden closeness, huh? Am I falling behind?"
