Vacation to the Keys

S.A. left for the Florida Keys the Saturday before prom on Akira's private jet plane that she had prepared just for this occasion. There were two loveseats for two, and one couch for three, so naturally Ryu, Jun and Megumi sat in the couch for three and Akira and Tadashi shared one of the loveseats. That left Kei and Hikari to share a loveseat, and get rather close, which they weren't used to yet. Hikari blushed, and Kei took notice.

"What's wrong Hikari, too close for comfort?" questioned Kei with a smirk on his face.

Hikari blushed even harder. "No, not at all, I'm perfectly fine…"

Kei got a great idea. "Hikari, I would like to propose a challenge. The first person to move away from the other loses, and the winner gets to do whatever they want to the other person for ten seconds. Okay?"

"Okay, Takishima, I'm not going to lose to you this time, I won't!" Shouted Hikari, who got shushed by the rest of the group, who were trying to sleep. "Ok, and the challenge starts… Now!"

Kei was the one who made the first move, laying his head on Hikari's shoulder, claiming that he was tired. Hikari wanted to show him that she could get closer too, so she started stroking Kei's hair. At this point, all of S.A. was awoken by Kei's happy aura, and were watching intently at the scene unfolding before them. If something were to happen and Kei was to have a breakdown, at least they would be prepared.

Kei started nuzzling Hikari, which almost made her jump back in surprise. You can do this, Hikari. It's only a nuzzle. So Hikari, being the overachiever she is, decided to take the challenge one step further by really snuggling with Takishima, to the point where she was almost in his lap. This made Kei so surprised that he jumped back, losing the challenge in the process.

"YAY! I won my first challenge against Takishima! WOO HOO!" Screamed Hikari. The rest of the group were hesitantly watching Kei, to see what his reaction to losing to Hikari for the first time would be. He simply chuckled, which meant that he was either lightly amused or in an extremely dark mood. Not wanting to risk it, the other S.A. members huddled into a corner and braced for the worst.

Kei asked Hikari, "So what will you do to me for ten seconds, hmm?" Nothing could prepare Kei for the next ten seconds of his life…
