A few minutes before Kei and the gang arrived, Hikaru and Ayu decided to try and get along by going shopping for clothes. They ended up looking at swimming trunks and bikinis the whole time. "hey why don't you go try that one on and come back here I'll be in this changing room just wait outside" Ayu said while pushing Hikaru towards the male changing room.
A few minutes hikaru came out wearing his trunks that were a dark grey. They could have passed as his boxers if they were a little shorter. He called out Ayu so she would direct him to her room. "Ayu which room are you in he said trying to listen to her voice. Just then he was grabbed from behind and dragged into a changing room. "what is your problem" he said turning around to find Ayu in a purple one piece that crisscrossed and showed off her stomach. "what I thought it would be funny" she said while letting him go. "I'm getting out before someone thinks the wrong thing. Just then Kiyoko and the gang entered the changing area and Hikaru saw them and ran back inside the changing room with Ayu.
The two were very close at this point. Hikaru had his hand over Ayu's mouth to stop her from talking. She was about to say something when she heard their voices and realized the situation they were in. She nodded so Hikaru would remove his hand.
The two began to whisper to one another not to attract attention to themselves. "what are we going to do now!" Ayu said looking at hikaru. "it's your fault if you hadn't dragged me in here we wouldn't be in this mess." "Urusai! Don't go pointing fingers and besides it's not like you are upset about our current situation." she said while looking around the very cramped changing room since they are made to only fit one person at a time. "hey stop moving" Hikaru said trying to free his arm. "hey don't try to be sneaky I felt your hand touch my butt" Ayu said looking at hikaru. "trust me it wasn't on purpose he said staring back at her.
The room became quiet until Hikaru decided to compliment her bikini which he had been staring at from the beginning. "it looks good on you he said blushing. "Thank you hika kun she said smiling. "yours doesn't look bad on you either" she said staring him up and down. "stop that" he said looking embarrassed. "stop what?" She said still staring at him. Stop looking at me like you can picture me naked!" he said covering up. " you still mad about that!?" she said moving closer to him in the already tight space. Their bodies were now touching and it made Hikaru very red. "Fine if that is what still making you upset I have no choice" she said with a grin on her face " I'll just let you see me naked~ she whispered in his ear in a seductive tone. . This made Hikaru panic as she was about to pull down one side of her bikini. She stopped and was about to say something, but Hikaru fell against the door falling out and revealing both him and Ayu.
"What are you two doing in a changing room together" they shouted. "Jeez Hika kun I was just playing you didn't let me finish my sentence" Ayu said while walking out of the changing room. Hikaru was very red and still in a daze but he began to talk. "You go to far sometimes Ayu" he said while stomping out of the changing room. Ayu bowed to the others before rushing out to calm the steaming Hikaru. "Hika kun matte!!" she shouted trying to get his attention.
"What happened between those two this time?" Takaki asked. "this time?" Kiyoko asked with her head tilted. "yeah we found those two snuggled on the couch when we came home one night, but neither would answer any of our questions now this!!" Kei said explaining to Kiyoko and Miki.
"It seems like the two might like each other" Miki added. "Yeah I haven't known Ayu that long, but from what I know she probably has a crush on him that's all. Why else would she chase after him." Kiyoko added. "you guys know Hikaru kun so I'm sure you can tell when he likes somebody, right?" Kiyoko continued while looking at the two guys. " pretty much, but he's never been this secretive before, right?" Takaki said looking at Kei. "Un" Kei said while nodding his head. "well its none of our business, leave them be. We have swim wear to pick out" Miki said grabbing Takaki's arm leaving Kiyoko and Kei by themselves. "Maybe I should try that changing room thing." Kiyoko said while looking at Kei who was too busy looking at his swimming trunks he picked out. "What's wrong he said turning to face Kiyoko. "Nothing Kei kun she said as she let out a sigh before leaving Kei alone.
