Chapter 16: Swimsuit Issues

"What?!"

Everyone in the room was shocked when their Captain, Munakata Reisi, planned to go to a beach party.

"C-Captain, are you sure?" Shizuka asked.

"Yes. Don't worry. I have enough money to cover the expenses and rental. We are going to stay there for two nights and three days. We are going to leave first thing tomorrow morning, so don't be late." Munakata said before he left the room, leaving everyone gape-mouthed.

"That was… awkward." Shizuka said.

"I can't wait to see Ukui-san in a swimsuit!" Enomoto shouted.

Fushimi charged at him and pulled his coat, "What did you say you perverted bastard? I can't hear it very well… I know, how about putting a knife on your damn mouth?"

"Gomen, Fushimi-san! It was just a joke! Gomen, gomenasai!" Enomoto panicked, "… guys help me here I'm going to get killed!"

Shizuka saw the boys quarreling and can't help but laugh and shake her head. But something is going on her mind. Does she really need to wear a swimsuit? She's seen a lot of girls wearing swimsuits before, but the truth is, she never wore one.

"Hey, Shizuka-san…" she saw Awashima went up to her, "… I was thinking, can you come with me to the mall later to buy a swimsuit? My old one is doesn't fit me anymore, that's why I'm going to buy another. Can you come with me?"

"Umm… Sure, Awashima-san!" she agreed.

The two girls saw the boys still quarreling. The laughed as they saw the other members tried to help, but they couldn't.

"Want me to pull out my sword and stuck it into your stomach?" Fushimi said to Enomoto.

"Fushimi-san, I already said I'm sorry! It won't happen again I promise!" he begged.

"Boys, huh?" Awashima chuckled.

"Yeah…" Shizuka sighed.

"You know, I think Fushimi really loves you. No doubt about it. I can see it in him. He'll do anything to protect you and keep you safe." Awashima said.

Shizuka blushed, "You think?"

Awashima nodded.

"It's really weird come to think of it. At first we were enemies, tried to kill each other, cursing at each other and insulting at one another, but now…" Shizuka sighed.

Awashima finished her sentence, "You're crazy for each other."

"Yeah." She answered. As Fushimi continued to threaten Enomoto, he caught a glimpse of Shizuka and smiled at her.

Shizuka smiled back, and sighed. Fushimi will always be her beloved baka, and will always be.

"Hey Awashima-san, wait up!" Shizuka shouted as she ran towards to Awashima, but somebody caught her hand.

It was Fushimi, "Just where do you think you're going?"

"I forgot to tell you, but I'm going to the mall with Awashima-san, is that fine with you?" she said.

Fushimi sighed, "Ok fine. But if you need anything, just call me `kay? And don't go home too late."

"Thanks Saru!" she said as she kissed his cheek and ran off.

The two girls went to the mall and straight to the swimsuit section.

Awashima pulled a navy blue bikini with white straps out from the line of swimsuits. They went to the changing room and Awashima tried it on.

"What do you think?" she asked.

"It looks good on you Awashima-san." Shizuka said.

"Hey, when it's just the two of us, just call me Seri. I think I'll take this one. How about you? Are you going buy a swimsuit?" Awashima said.

"Ummmm…"

"You don't have a swimsuit do you?"

"Ummm… N-no."

"Well, why didn't you say so? Come on, I think there are some swimsuits perfect for your size." Awashima said while grabbing Shizuka's forearm.

Shizuka let go and said, "No! I-I don't wanna…"

"You're pouting just like a kid. Don't worry I have enough money to buy two swimsuits." Awashima said.

"I don't want to, okay?!" Shizuka shouted.

"You don't want to go to the beach naked do you? Come on, tell me why you don't want to, it's alright." Awashima said.

"…"

"Tell me."

"…"

"Come on…"

"…"

"Ukui Shizuka, just tell me why!"

"Because…!" Shizuka shouted but she took a deep breath and said, "… because I never tried one before."

"What?!"

"It's because I never been to a beach before or even a pool, so, I never wore one. In fact, I don't even know how to swim. And I see a lot of people being ashamed because of swimsuits, so… I-I don't want to." She said.

Awashima sighed, "It's okay. Don't worry. I mean look at me! I'm buying a swimsuit, am I? It's alright. Now, come on…" she said as she grabbed Shizuka's arm again and dragged her to the swimsuit section.

Awashima took a light blue bikini with gold straps and a small gold chain with a mini heart pendant at the end.

"Try this. It matches your eyes." Awashima said as she handed the swimsuit to Shizuka.

"Fine." She grunted as she headed to the changing room.

When she got out, Awashima gasped, "What the- Is that you Ukui?"

"I told you it looks bad! I'm taking this off and let's get outta here!" Shizuka blushed.

"No. What I mean is, you look hot in that Ukui!" Awashima said.

"I do not!" she shouted.

"I never knew that you had such a nice body. Damn, I can't wait to see Fushimi's nose bleed when he sees you like this." Awashima laughed.

"What?! N-No! I won't! I won't take this! Arghhh! I'm out of here!" she complained.

Shizuka went inside and took off the bikini and put on her regular clothes. She put the bikini back to the racket and stormed off.

But after she went off, Awashima secretly took it.

"I'm back!" Shizuka shouted as she went inside Fushimi house. He saw Fushimi watching T.V.

"So how did your shopping with Awashima go?" Fushimi asked.

"Fine. Just fine." She said. Not really, she thought.

Then she heard a knock on the door.

"I'll get it." She said.

When she opened it, she saw a shopping bag with the logo of the store where she and Awashima shopped in. She took a peek on the bag and blushed. It was the swimsuit that she tried on earlier! She saw a note, it said:

Don't even think of not wearing this tomorrow… Lieutenant's orders! –Seri

"Why that little-" she grumbled.

"Hey Shizuka-chan are you alright in there?" she heard Fushimi calling her from the inside.

"Y-Yeah!" she answered as she crumpled the shopping bag and hid it under the back of her shirt.

"Hey you alright? Why is your face flushed?" Fushimi asked when she went inside.

"Huh? W-what?! Yeah! I'm alright! I'm perfectly fine!" she said as sweat began to pile on her face, "I'll just… go upstairs for a minute."

She ran upstairs and began preparing her things. She hid that "cursed" swimsuit at the bottom of the bag. After that, she threw her arms and landed on the bed on her back.

"What am I going to do?" she said.

"Going to do what?" said a familiar voice.

She turned her head to the doorway and saw Fushimi leaning on the door.

"S-Saru?! How long have you been there?" she sat up.

Fushimi went closer and sat beside her, "Just now actually. So, what seems to be the problem?"

"N-No."

"Tell me."

"Nuh-uh."

"Tell. Me."

"…"

Fushimi lifted her chin up and kissed her on the lips, "Tell me. I promise, I won't laugh, get angry, or tell anybody."

Shizuka sighed heavily, "It's because Awashima-san bought me this really embarrassing swimsuit and I have to wear it tomorrow."

Fushimi raised his eyebrow and smirked, "A swimsuit, eh? What kind of swimsuit is it?"

"A bikini."

"W-w-wait… what?" he blushed.

"You heard me! I don't want to wear it!" she said.

"I think you should wear it…" he smirked and held his chin.

"Not you too!" she shouted. She laid down the bed and put a pillow on her face. "I'm doomed." She complained.

"Hey, I'm just kidding. Hey Shizuka, Shizuka?" he said as he shook her shoulder, but she wouldn't answer. Giving up, he crawled on top of her and whispered in her ear, "Is my little Shizu-chan in there?"

"Saru... don't call me that." she said behind the pillow.

"Shi~zu~chan" he repeated.

"Grrr... Saru, If you won't stop I'll-"

"You'll what? Shizu-chan?" he teased.

She kicked him in the leg. "Hey!" Fushimi said as he grabbed Shizuka's arms and placed it between her head.

"For kicking me, you have a punishment..." he said.

"What? Tickling me, Kicking me back, Punching me?"

"No, this..." Fushimi said as he licked her collar bone up to her lips. He started kissing her, and she started kissing him back. Fushimi pulled back to get a grip of fresh air.

"You call that a punishment?" she asked.

Fushimi laughed at her comment and kissed her again.

The next day, Shizuka decided that she would wear the swimsuit. Besides, the other girls at the beach would wear a swimsuit too after all. They took a van to the beach. It was a two hour trip to the beach.

When they finally got there, there were a lot of people. Sun bathing, swimming, surfing, all kinds of stuff.

"Okay! You can now put your bags in the luggage while I can check in our rooms. You can change into your swimsuits though.. carry on!" Munakata said as he left.

Shizuka took the swimsuit out from her bag and went to the changing rooms. She sighed as she saw herself in the mirror, instead, she wrap herself up in a towel.

When she got outside, she already saw the others having fun.

"Hey what are you doing here? Come on let's go!" said Fushimi as he approached her.

Shizuka blushed madly as he saw Fushimi shirtless and only wearing shorts.

"S-Saru?!" she blushed.

"What's the matter? And why are you wrapped in a towel? Take it off, it's alright." he asked.

"No!" she shouted.

"Just take it off."

"No!"

Fushimi grabbed the end of the towel and pulled it.

"Saru!" Shizuka said as she covered herself with her arms.

"There you go..." Fushimi said as he turned to throw the towel away. "See, that wasn't so ba-"

When he turned, he saw Shizuka. But this time, he saw a Shizuka in a sexy bikini.

He smirked and said, "D-A-M-N."
