Day 7

"Haruhiiii, come out with me!"

"Hikaru… I can't, I have to go to the store, another time!"

"Hey, Haruhi! I have a great idea! I'll come with you?"

"… Just make sure you behave."

Haruhi watched as a tower of pasta sauce teetered and fell to the floor, with a deafening crash, the lumpy tomatoey substance splashing across the floor and onto several bystanders. Haruhi was one of these bystanders who got completely and utterly covered in sauce. It could have been considered unfortunate, had the older Hitachiin twin not have been standing behind the carnage, surveying his handiwork.

"Hikaru!" Haruhi screeched "Clean this up!"

Hikaru idly handed a business card to an employee who had rushed to the scene.

"Here, and a 10,000 yen tip." He glanced at Haruhi "Happy?"

She stormed out of the supermarket, leaving him standing there, half smug, half worried about what Haruhi was going to do to him. He sighed, and followed her.

She was wiping sauce off her face when he saw her, and her frown increased as he approached. Hikaru had to stifle a giggle when he saw her; she was a hilarious sight to behold.

Suddenly, Hikaru, who had been previously spotless, got pelted in the face by a large ball of pasta sauce. He wiped his eyes and stared at her, shocked.

Haruhi, who now held her hands on her hips, smirked at his reaction. His face was completely covered in the stuff and his eyes looked as if they were out on stalks.

"Oh hell no!" Hikaru yelled, catching on to the joke, and running back into the store.

The teenage girl stood there, bewildered for two minutes, before going and sitting on the grassy hill outside the supermarket, trying to get the sauce off, and not achieving much. She did not hear when her friend crept up behind her, and emptied another jar of tomato sauce onto her head.

He laughed and tried to get out of the way as she whirled around, reflexes sharp, filled both hands from the pile of sauce in her hair and lobbed it at his grinning, open mouth.

"Ughhhhfff!" He shouted, mouth full. He quickly spat it out and leapt at her, wiping some off his face. He landed on top of her, and proceeded to smother her face in it, while she squealed and tried not to laugh.

She suddenly sat up, accidentally headbutting him in the face. He sat back, stunned for a second, then, grinning, rolled down the hill, grabbing her arm and pulling her with him.

Their childish laughter did not stop as they reached the bottom of the hill, both covered in a disgusting mixture of mushy red paste and grass. It was lucky that Haruhi was wearing some old clothes, but Hikaru, who was wearing his usual attire of designer jeans and shirt, should have been distraught – the stains on their clothes would be permanent. He did not seem to have a care in the world, however, as he pulled Haruhi to her feet and smiled at her cheekily.

"You really do bring out the worst in me.." Haruhi sighed, with a small smile.

Hikaru, hiding his slight hurt, winked and said "You love it."

He suddenly had an idea, and turned back to her, taking her hand, and running into the field which the small hill led onto. The weather was hot, and the sprinklers in the field were spraying water out at an alarming rate. As he dragged her through the freezing cold showers, the sauce steadily dissipated from their faces and bare skin, leaving them drenched, but clean when they reached the other end of the field.

Their clothes were still stained, but they were no longer covered in grass, mud and sauce.

Between heavy breathing, Haruhi looked up at Hikaru and said "I guess… I can forgive… you then."

He laughed and pulled her to him, hugging her.

"I hope you pick me Haruhi. And if you don't..." He smiled "I guess you picking Kaoru would be the only thing that wouldn't send me into a coma."

She smiled awkwardly "Blackmail?"

"Of course."

She could tell he was mostly joking, and took the uncomfortable silence as an indication that she should go and finish her shopping.

They re-entered the store, and Hikaru handed an employee another 10,000 yen, to apologise for the water trail they were leaving behind them.

As they squelched around the store, Hikaru was enthusiastic about learning about comparing prices, getting the best deals, and watched with interest as Haruhi held civilised conversations with the staff.

"What?" She asked, noticing that he was staring at her.

"Nothing.. you're just kind of amazing?"

She laughed "I'm just buying groceries!"

He smiled and fell silent, confused at why he felt his heart aching inside his chest, until he realised that it wouldn't stop, until she was his.

Well… I feel strange after writing that. The first bit was really quite fun to write, but the second half got me kinda depressed.

I have just gone through some rather bad heartbreak, so I am really sorry if it affects the story, I will try and not turn into a cynical loveless author. XD

Please tell me if you guys liked it!
