I didn't know how to react to this however then Michiru laughed, her sapphire eyes twinkling slightly.
"Don't you know how to talk Blondie?" she teased, before she went to retrieve the Frisbee that had landed in the stream.
"What?" I managed to squeak and she laughed softly.
"You heard me Tenou-san, I didn't stutter." She retorted and I sighed, running my hand through my hair.
"Did you mean….What I think you did?" she asked, giving me a mischievous smirk as she leaned almost next to me, her breath tickling my neck and ear as she answered
"Maybe you might just find that date you wanted if you'd act differently."
Those words sent a chill down my spine, what did that mean.
"Act what way?" I asked, feeling heat climb into my face as I absorbed the words.
"Drop the acting Haruka, just be yourself." She advised just as Hotaru managed to fall into the mud.
"Are you okay kid?" I asked as I walked over to her, holding my hand out to help her up but she just glanced fearfully at me and then to Michiru.
"I….I'm sorry I got dirty." She whimpered and I sighed.
"Who cares about that? You can get a bath and a change of clothes. All I care about is that you're not hurt." I replied, ruffling her hair before I glanced over at Michiru who smiled a little.
"Hime-chan, I am not going to get mad over something like that." She stated with a smile as she walked over to us.
"Come on squirt. Let's go get you clean." Michiru chuckled, taking Hotaru's hand.
