TamaHaru Love

•Chapter 4: Beach•

Hikaru and Kaoru brought a few suits their mother designed. Hesitantly, I chose a pink, frilly two-piece. Walking out from the changing room, I received a wide-eyed gasp from Tamaki and the twins and a look of joy from Honey. I involuntarily blushed.

"Alright, let's head toward the beach," said Kyouya.

The weather was so nice. It was really warm and sunny, the perfect conditions for an afternoon swim. Tamaki and I headed toward the ocean. I couldn't handle it anymore, I was sick of waiting. I kissed him on our way into the water, not caring if everyone saw us. They knew, anyway. When I let go, he blushed; they were all staring at us.

"Woohoo!" exclaimed Hikaru and Kaoru. "Way to go, boss!"

"Oh my gosh, Haru-chan, you're so cute!" squealed Honey-senpai. Of course, I started blushing too. I just couldn't prevent myself from kissing him. Luckily, nobody but the two of us knew about the last night. I was so glad I was able to confess to Tamaki, and that our feelings for each other were unanimous. Maybe we kissed too much. But I loved him so much, and it was one of the few ways I could show him. I wanted him to know, and I needed him to understand.

He was mine now, and I wasn't going to let go.

"Haruhi..." he whispered.

Even though he seemed like a player, I realized that both me and Tamaki were new to love. I'd never actually been in a relationship before this, but I didn't have the anticipation of being in another one. I wanted to cry. There was so much I wanted to say to him, and not just "I love you."

Before long, the twins were in the water, splashing around.

"Hey, watch what you're doing!" I yelled when they hit me with a cold splash.

"You two lovebirds can have your fun later," said Hikaru.

"Ew, you perv!" I shouted, splashing back at them.

Both the twins and Tamaki laughed. One of the best days I'd ever had was about to go underway. Tamaki and I were together, and I was able to finally have a good time. We swam and had water fights for the rest of the day, until the sun set.

That night, we all headed back to the villa. I was glad that at least tonight I had pajamas instead of just a robe. Kyouya forced both of us into a room right after dinner.

"Tamaki, I-I just want to thank you for everything you've done," I said. "I'm really grateful that I was able to meet you."

Before I knew it, he was right in front of me, as if he teleported across the room, and hugged me.

"I love you, Haruhi," he said. "And I don't need thanking - it's all because of you."

"Huh?"

"You changed my life. I said this before, but I love everything about you, and I always have."

I rested my head on his chest. His heart was beating fast again.

"I love you, too."

Tamaki reached past me and turned off the lights, and my heart began to race just like his. He brought me to the gigantic bed and wrapped me in his arms, nuzzling into my hair. It made me shaky and nervous.

"You smell good," he said.

I gasped and quickly wiggled out of his grasp. I was shaking noticeably now, but to my surprise nothing was said. He grabbed my hand and smiled at me. It amazed me that Tamaki could be so affectionate and understanding. Holding his hand calmed me down and I could finally breathe again.

Within ten minutes after that, I fell asleep in his arms.
