Under The Stars~ (Rantaro x Kirumi)(DRV3)

The Pool (Part 4)

*Kirumi's POV* 

I stayed in Rantaro's arms for a little longer. After seeing how much he really did care for me, I knew that I had to tell him. When I am with him, my heart feels warm. Never before have I felt this way about someone. I never thought I would meet my first boyfriend at a killing game.  Rantaro lifted my head up and moved my bangs to the side. He then gave me a kiss on the forehead while whispering "I love you". Rantaro laid down and I laid my head on his chest while he played with my hair. He soon stopped and I felt my eyes closing until...

"Helloooo...Oh! There you guys are!" It was Kaede. She seemed to be looking for us. I stood up, pretending nothing was happening. Rantaro was still on the ground.

"Ah hello Kaede!" I responded. 

"What were you guys doing?" Kaede tilted her head while looking at Rantaro. 

"Oh we were just...reading." I pointed to the pile of books that we had stacked up. At that moment Rantaro stood up. 

"Hmm alright well you guys do have books so that makes sense. We were wondering if you guys wanted to join us for lunch and then go to the pool with us?" Kaede's curious mood suddenly changed into a cheerful one. 

"Oh I would love to Kaede!" I said. I usually don't go swimming, but I felt it would be nice break from the situation we were put into. 

"Hey can I come too?" Rantaro asked while rubbing his eyes.

"No." 

"What? Why not?"

"Cause you have green hair."

"How does that..."

"Im kidding! You really think that I only came to invite Kirumi! Now c-mon lets go!" Kaede said as she started walking while signaling her hands to come with her. 

"Just give us a sec we just need to clean up here" Rantaro started to pick up the books that we left on the ground. Kaede was already too far away to hear him. I helped him pick up more of the books and bring them back to the library. While we were putting the books back, I heard Rantaro whisper, 

"Should we tell them? Y-know that we're..." He didn't need to finish that sentence. 

"Maybe we should, but they will eventually find out." 

"Yeah that makes sense. Now c-mon! Kaede is probably waiting for us!" Rantaro grabbed my hand as we started to run to the cafeteria. Well, it was more like speed walking. We were both still kinda tired. When we entered that cafeteria, everyone was already eating. Some people started to stare at us. I then realized that Rantaro was still holding my hand. He then realized and let go of my hand with a flustered face.

"Oh? So what took you guys so long hmm? And with those red faces I think I know exactly what..." Miu asked, pointing to us. 

"C'mon Miu they weren't doing that. They were just...reading." Kaede said. She obviously saw us cuddling over there. She was't telling them though. 

We sat down and started to eat. Once in a while, I saw Kaede looking at us, smiling. She would point at me, make a heart shape, and then point to Rantaro. I knew what she meant. I just smiled back at her and continued to eat. Once we were done, we headed to the locker rooms. I went into the girls one and found a swimsuit with a piece of paper which had my name on it. It was a two piece swimsuit with some black lace around the edges. I started to change into it. 

"Sooooooo what do you think about Rantaro?!" I was startled by Kaede's question, given the fact that I was in the middle of changing.

"Well he's a nice guy. He's really different once you start to know him better." I finished changing quickly trying not make things awkward.
