Hey... I'm rlly sorry bout last chapter, I don't know what I was thinking...
I guess all couples have that kinda talk sometime, but I was tired and bored, so in a public area in front of all their friends seemed like a good idea, at the time. In hindsight, it was terrible.
So, I'm sorry.
Anyways, I have ch 1 done of the sequal; "Deep Beneath the Stoic Waters"
so, we're on the ball :)
Anyway... 9 to go
"Why does he want us to wear dresses?" muttered Lisa, tugging at the hem of the skirt.
"My guess is cosplay." replied Haruhi, flicking an invisible piece of dust off her dress.
"Probably. Or something equally as ridiculous." I smiled at them, smoothing the dress out, looking in the mirror and smiling wider.
I was quite happy with my dress, just a simple light green one, with a black belt around the middle and black ballet pumps on my feet, easy to slip on and off.
Lisa had a plain white dress with a black belt and pumps like mine, whereas Haruhi had a light yellow dress, with black belt and shoes.
So, we all kind of matched, as the dressed were the same style ( square neck, sleeveless, knee length) we had the same kind of belts, and shoes... it was just colours.
"I think we look cool."
"You would Rari." smirked Lisa, nudging me.
We went outside and smiled at the guys, who gave us all an approving look, and then said we were having club dressed like this, despite the fact that Haruhi was in a dress. They went away and when they came back (a good ten minutes later) they were wearing black pants, shiny black shoes and white dress shirts, un-tucked and the top button undone, with a black tie, but that was lose.
"Wow." muttered Lisa, eyeing each one up, but letting her eyes linger on Kyouya a while longer than the rest.
"Well, let's let the rabble in." muttered Kyouya, walking to the door and leaving it open while we all walked into place. I made a point to make Lisa stand close to Kyouya, and I stood near Takashi.
Pretty soon all the normal girls came in, smiling at us, but their interest peaked when they saw Lisa.
"Wow, who are you?" they asked.
She looked at me, then back at them.
"My name is Lisa."
I smiled and left her to it, proud that her Japanese was passable. I taught her that.
"Sa-Chan! Come sit with us!" shouted Honey, waving his arms madly, jumping up and down and grinning like a fool.
"Okay, okay, calm down." I muttered, sitting with him and Takashi and a few girls, grabbing a slice of cake and tucking in.
"We were just talking about the cultural festival coming up, are you going to take part?" asked one girl, smiling at me.
My face was still full of cake, so I nodded mutely, not even knowing what a cultural festival was.
"Yeah, we're all doing it! It's gonna be fun!"
"Yeah~ It's a shame that you two leave this year though..." sighed a girl.
"Yeah, we're gonna miss you..." said another, looking sad.
I forcefully swallowed my cake and set the fork down on the plate.
"You'll miss us too right, Mori-sempai?" giggled the first girl, batting her eyes and laying her hand on his. He looked sideways at me, but I did nothing so he just nodded slightly.
"Oh! I knew you would~" she gushed, leaning on him, flirting terribly.
I coughed, sat up and smiled wryly at them all, trying to seem passive on the situation, when in reality I was ready to rip that girls face off.
The fact that she thought he was single meant nothing to me.
"Yeah, I think we're all going to miss them both." I said.
"Yeah... but we've kind of known them longer, so we're closer to them." snapped the girl.
I stared her right in her cold blue eyes, and wished her curly brown hair would just burst into flame.
Then I smiled.
"Well, of course. It's only logical."
She looked shocked to hear me say that, it was almost as if she expected me to get angry and stuff.
"Is-is no-one gonna miss me?" asked Honey, eyes watering, clutching Usa-Chan to his chest and mouth trembling. In an instant, all the girls were fussing over him, assuring him that they would miss him dearly, even the girl that had thrown herself at Takashi had gone to console Honey.
I saw the blond wink at me, before hugging that girl, keeping her busy, and Takashi took hold of my hand under the table, giving it a reassuring squeeze.
I found myself sulking for the rest if club though, I was just in that bad a mood.
"Saori, cheer up."
I grumbled and hid my face behind my hair. No way was I caving in to Lisa and Takashi and Kyouya to tell them what's wrong.
"Tell us what's going on, or we'll fabricate a debt for you." (Kyouya)
"Fine."
"I won't be your friend any more." (Lisa)
"Okay."
"Takashi will dump you." (Lisa)
"No I won't." (Takashi)
"That backfired." (Kyouya)
"Go away." (Me).
They all sighed, and while Kyouya walked away, Lisa punched me and stropped off, Takashi still sat next to me, quiet as ever.
"Is it because of Maya?"
"The tart that threw herself at you practically trying to hump your leg?"
"Yeah, that one."
"No."
"It is, isn't it?"
"You figure that out by yourself?"
"Your sarcasm helped." he said, draping an arm over me and pulling me close. I sighed and snuggled into him,happier now that I was on my own with him.
Damn me for getting all jealous and possessive though...
"Saori... you're the only one for me." he whispered, kissing my cheek softly. "You're beautiful, and intelligent, and you have a smile that brightens the world. Why would I want anyone else?"
I smiled to myself.
"Well... since you put it that way, I'm damn near perfect. You can't risk giving me up."
He chuckled, and pulled me in for a sweet kiss.
"Too true."
