Day 1

"I am so excited!" Eiji exclaimed looking all our around the hallway while following his guide. 

"Not that big surprise, honestly." Ash shrugged looking at older Japanese boy who was practically glistening with happiness. "Oh, Ash don't talk like you aren't as well. Ever since you got tickets at that game of lucky draws. You would just stare at them for almost hours."

"What?! That isn't true" Ash half-jelled. "Hmm, is that so" Eiji hummed, grinning once he saw  Ash's slightly rosy cheeks.

"I was just curious all right" Ash huffed turning around his head so Eiji couldn't see his expression. "It's my first time coming to a place like this" Ash added crossing his arms and little pout forming on his mouth.

"Right" Eiji replied in a mocking voice, grinning while walking away so he would catch up to the brown-haired girl that was their current guide. Ash just stared at him with a visible pout before continuing to walk behind Eiji. Soon enough they both caught up with their guide in front of their room, who after being thanked by Eiji and then by Ash clearly blushed before leaving.

"Come on, Ash" Eiji smiled tugging Ash's arm behind him while walking inside their new temporary room. "Alright, alright stop pulling me" Ash protested, though his voice showed no sign of irritation, actually he quite enjoyed tender feeling he would get when he had dark-haired Japanese boy close to him. Once they both stepped inside their room they quickly began looking around. Their room was very capacious and had two futons laying close next to each other. Both of them looked at futons for a few seconds wondering if they should put distance between them by moving their futons or not. Once seeing that Eiji made no move to separate futons, Ash walked over to the left futon and after placing his backpack next to his newly-chosen futon he drooped himself on it. 

"So what now oni-san" Ash grinned while studying Eiji.

A/N: Oni-san means "Big brother" 

"Hmm, well we could head to the bath now if you aren't too tired to come and bath with your 'oni-san' right?" Eiji asked grinning back while looking at the blond American that was laying sprawled on the futon only a few feet away from his.  "Shouldn't I be the one asking that the elderly get tired easily, don't they?" Ash asked with fake concern in his voice making Eiji pout in a mix of annoyance and playfulness. Both of them stood up and after getting their yukata's out of their bags. While grabbing his Ash started to remember the day when Eiji decided to get him one. He started to talk about differences between Yukata and Kimono when they should be used, what kind of fabric were they made of. He explained that for Yukata you can wear any kind of undershirt while for kimono you needed undershirt robe 'nagajuban' and socks called 'tabi' or something.

A/N: Yukata and Kimono are traditional Japanese clothes, that are mostly used on special occasions. Nagajuban is undershirt kimono-like robe people are wearing and Tabi is special par of socks that are worn while wearing kimono.

"you ready Ash" Eiji asked holding in his hands neatly folded Yukata. "Yeah yeah," the green-eyed boy replied. Soon both of them were walking side by side going into the empty room where there were few tables with baskets underneath them. Both of them slid one out and began undressing and folding their clothes, both of them stood there with their beaks facing each other as they both quickly put on some swimsuit boxers.
