(GS3) Field: Rijuku Park

[Jello]

There was a thread of drool stuck between the two after Yukino took Haruka's lips for a joyride once more. She was a lot more passionate about it this time... at least that part about her didn't change, and that made him extremely happy. His mind kind of blanked after a moment, trying to keep his head on straight but he literally almost fell over. He felt like a little bit of him was sucked out.

"E-Eh... It's nothing love, nothing you need to... uhm... kill." He put a hand on her head, petting her a bit. He did that for a bit, just trying to let her calm down. She seemed really heated up and that sort of stuff wasn't going to be happening anytime soon. At least not tonight. He just gave her a warm smile, anything to reassure her-

Buzzzzzz. Buzzzz-

"One second...hmm hmm hmmm... let's see here-" Haruka instantly shut his phone upon the first file loading. It was a picture of Hana, rather... skimpily clad. He put it back in his pocket, a sweat bead forming on his head.

"N-Nothing important, haha..." Forced laughter.

Haruka, you could have gotten away with that. Really. Just. Don't laugh. You look so suspicious.

Well, he is suspicious.

You mean guilty.

Haruka sighed, rubbing the temples of his forehead with his free hand.

"Hey, I'm sorry you had to catch me and all like this. We should definitely meet up on a free day of ours and do something, what do you say? Maybe spend the night at your place or something...?" Haruka was just giving ideas for Yukino so that way when this evening was over, she knew she could still ask for him whenever and he would be there.

To her beck and call, essentially.

[Cherry]

Yugure felt ecstatic when Haruka began petting her, drooling a bit more unintentionally. This feeling... she remembered doing this for Hana as children, but to experience it herself further drove her hormones up a wall. Relaxing a bit instead of pouncing on him, she noticed him open his phone and shut it immediately. She didn't want to pry into his business unnecessarily... yet, curiosity led her to believe boyfriend's business was girlfriend's business.

"What was that...? You say it isn't important, but..." His reaction sort of told most of the story.

Then Haruka mentioned spending the night.

"Yes! I mean..." Ahem. "S-Sure."

[Jello]

Cute. I mean, drooling was usually considered gross or weird but he found his girlfriend's little reactions to him kind of adorable. He didn't stop, just to keep the atmosphere light, but she was apparently interested in the parcel of photos he received. Sadly, not even Haruka was so bold as to leak those, especially to Yukino.

"It really is nothing, something just caught me off guard. Uncle Toshi needs me soon... Hmm, now that I think about, I can't even remember his full name anymore. Toshi.. Toshii... Toshiki! Right. Uncle Toshiki needs me to be at the house sometime later tonight is all. He was sending me pictures of stuff. That's all." Haruka was only half-lying here. He did have an Uncle. His name was Uncle Toshi. He wasn't 100% sure what his full name was, but Toshiki sounded just about right. Maybe Toshida. There were plenty of names but he couldn't rightly remember...

He planted one more long kiss on her, mimicking her earlier movements earlier. Pleasing her was on his priority list as of recently. She also seemed oddly excited about him spending the night sometime soon. That would definitely have to be a plan before the camping trip. Which was in... two days. Tomorrow night it is then!

"Hey, about that spending the night deal. Tomorrow work for you? I'd be leaving sort of early in the morning for a school-wide camping trip. But no better way to spend my last night here for a bit than with you, right?" He searched in her eyes, wandering through every tone and color. "I'm gonna be heading out in a couple of minutes actually, just so Toshiki-san doesn't wait up for me or anything.

[Cherry]

Yugure felt a bit insulted, not really buying the excuse of uncle calling for him. She wasn't stupid, his reaction was too instantaneous. If it was only normal pictures from family, why sweat? "Hmm..." she mused suspiciously. Well, it was just something to pry out of him later then. Thought process immediately ceased once he kissed her again. The soldier gripped Haruka's arm, sharing affectionate hunger that had lasted a year. Had the embrace lasted any longer, her brain wouldn't even be able to comprehend what he said coherently. In fact, it took a good minute to actually register.

"Camping... trip...?"

No, no, don't leave.

Then again, if he was gone for a bit, even for a little bit, this pent-up frustration could come out again.

But she wanted to be with him all the time. Part of being a soldier was protecting people, so safeguarding for beloved from everyone else was part of the job. Yes, that sounds about right. Ahmes and Yunos sweat nervously in fearful disapproval, but it still sounded right.

"Tomorrow it is..." The girl responded with a saddened tone.

[Jello]

He chewed his lip for a moment, noticing she was clearly not really all too happy about it. He had to figure something out to fix that. Kisses only go so far, and it's not like he could magically poof a guess. The strain on his mind was killing him, but he definitely would have to tell her eventually. The question is, before or after the camping trip? He didn't want her to worry for too long about what he was hiding... but telling her before the trip would leave her without any closure for however long it took for him to come home.

Not an option. He'd tell her after the trip. Definitely. Whether or not she cared for him after, whether or not the ferocious love she had for him would linger after all he would have to explain...

"Chin up, love. I'll be back before you know it. And you have an entireeee night with me to yourself. We can even hang out all day after I get off work and everything." He took her by the hands, raising them to his lips. A kiss for each, sort of a royal and romantic gesture. He even rubbed his thumbs over the backs of her hands for a moment, savoring the feeling of her skin against his. It was a moment in time he would remember for awhile.

No matter how dark it gets, he can remember this moonlit night.

"I'm going now, okay? Tomorrow, me and you. No distractions. I'll even get you something, in fact, yeah, I'm gonna get you something alright?" Haruka was already hopping in excitement about the next day. He really wanted to make things special for Yukino before he left, considering the news he was bringing back was... far less memorable.

"Until then." He left her with one last kiss. Last, as in the the last for night. Obviously.

[Cherry]

Yugure was frowning over her boyfriend having to be gone from her for a number of days again. Tomorrow was going to be great to have him for the night, but the thought of not being with him... Haruka plants two kisses on each hand of hers, making her smile some. "Alright..." came with the announcement of his departure. A gift would be nice... maybe she should look into one for him in return. It took a great deal of effort to not push him down, pin him to the ground, and keep him there for the night at the last kiss. The soldier simply watched in longing silence as he left.

"You're still drooling", Yunos noted.

Yugure was surprised, quickly wiping away her spit.

"Goddamn, get a hold of yourself. Otherwise, tomorrow, you're gonna be slobberin' like one of the damn high beasts."

"I can't help it", Yugure retorted with nothing witty, leaving the area.

Haruka +5 Affinity

[Jello]

Home sweet home. Haruka was rather excited about finally returning to his special bench. It was his bench after all and he didn't want it to get stolen the two days he was away. His first order of business was to get a bit of time back wasted. Sky staring. Go!!!

...
.....
.......
.........

Done.

"hey, what's up? I'm finally home! we should meet up. we need to talk soon. -haru"

With a quick text to Yukino, Haruka sighed a deep breath.

Haruka laid on the park bench and rested his head on his hands creating a makeshift pillow. He began to doze off almost immediately. Better rest up. With the news he was planning to drop, a good sleep might do him well. He'll be in the doghouse for sure anyways. Or lose her altogether.

Haruka felt really sick, before he finally passed out of just the pure will of no longer wanting to be awake.

[Hope]

The plans for today were to talk to Dad-san about the weird thing that happened over on the mountain and to maybe get his help in getting a better hold on her power so that weird mishaps don't happen. He is usually busy throughout the day, not that he wouldn't make time for his daughter, but Hana didn't want to put him behind on his work. He would actually be willing to put everything down if asked, that's just how he was. Until then Hana decided upon walking the dog in the park. Alpha and Beta were tagging along too. Over the camping trip, they decided on an extreme work out session which no ordinary men would survive. Dad-san probably could, but he isn't ordinary either. In short, Alpha and Beta were looking much more muscular than ever.

"Is that Haruka?" Hana saw him, not sure if he was passed out or not.
"All in order of Hana-chan kicking him awake!" Mer announced.
"Aye!" Star Rain seconded.
"Yes!" Minette did not object.
"As long as it isn't me!" Everyone kicks Nociel.

The bunshins have voted.
Hana kicked Haruka. Alpha and Beta are thinking about joining in.
"Woof."

[Jello]

Haruka felt a sudden stinging pain in his side.

"Kuh...-guhhhhh whyyyy what did I do-?" Haruka coughed and wheezed for a second. Side was in a decent amount of pain. Was he dying? No, he wasn't kicked that hard. Probably not anyways. It was something like a boxer jab. The pain is sudden and lingers, but it gets considerably less awful the longer it goes. He was just experiencing the first waves of pain.

"W..what? Hana? Why did you kick me!? I was sleeping!" Haruka sat up with a frown, obviously grumpy from his rude awakening. This was one of the few times Haruka was attempting to get actual rest and didn't just pass out or something.

"Did you need something or was that just for fun?" Haruka rested his forehead on his hands, trying to wake up while shielding his eyes from the sun.

[Cherry]

"I'm in Umano."

[Hope]

The best thing to do really is to never listen to Meer, but with the way he reacted, it actually paid off to her. Good deal. Then she questions if she agreed to it because she still wants pay back deep down. Meer would be the one speaking from her inner desires just like Reit does for Mi-hime. It was probably was payback then, a little playful and fun payback. Better than trying to smother him with a marshmallow or something which Meer suggested at one point.

"For fun!" Hana laughed, "How ya been?"

Since the camping trip, Isabella's mind had been shifting back to a more fortified version of what it originally was, an idol who loves her sick girlfriend. They say that when you change your ideas to the opposite, then your mind becomes more firmly rooted. Isabella made that switch twice. No letting go of Mi-hime now.

"Oh right, Mi-hime said to say hi!"

[Jello]

"I'll be there in a bit. -haru"

With that, he turned back to the very uppity Hana. So she kicked him just because? That was already an off-statement as it was, but he had no more to say about it.

"Miyuki, huh? I can assume she wasn't too happy about what happened...?" Haruka bowed his head for a moment, twiddling his thumbs. He was about to be heading to Umano himself to talk to Yukino about the situation. Had to set the record straight, win or lose.

[Hope]

"She wasn't, but she was understanding, and really she was blaming herself which made me feel pretty bad. Though, we're happy I guess. She was awake this morning too!"

Well there were over a million words to actually describe the whole feeling, but Haruka's twiddling was really catching her attention. Like the pee pee dance, she assumed that it's because he has to go somewhere soon, otherwise he may explods. Yukino probably wants to talk to him about the situation as soon as possible as well. If so, then she wants to come with, not to chime in on them, but to just be around. Ah.

Alpha and Beta got the dog.

[Jello]

Haruka sort of sat there awkwardly. He wanted to apologize to Miyuki for sure one day, otherwise this whole thing wasn't really completely done in his head. Maybe he would, at the very least, send a text or a message her way to express his sorrow. Just not now. He had somewhere to be really bad-

"T-That's great! That she was awake I mean. Erm, I'm actually about to head to Umano to talk to Yukino. To, er, fix, everything I guess. If she wants things to be fixed or not, I mean. So I'll be heading out, thanks for waking me up I guess. Avoid kicking next time though?" Haruka started walking off, hands pocketed and back somewhat slouched. He looked a bit decrepit, like an old guy or something. Its not like he wanted to walk like that really, his side still hurt so standing up straight caused the bruise to stretch and that was really painful, so instead he just slouched all the way to the slums.

"omw. see u soon. -haru"

[Cipher Izanagi]

After the camping trip had finished, Seifer returned to his usual routine of coming to the park and walking along the paths with his hands in his pockets. He was pretty content, save for missing Rosalia, but that couldn't be helped now. In any case the brunette continued to walk, stopping only for a few moments to stare out over the usual pocket of water that he looked over before continuing on. It seemed like a pretty nice day actually, somewhat enjoyable really. The brunette stopped however at a bench and sat down really just to watch the scenery and everything unfold.
