"Which one do you think suit the most?" the owners of a yukata shop asked, smiled as she showed two little boys two kind of fabric.
One was colored [Color] and decorated with flowers while the other was colored [Other Color] decorated with butterfly.
"Eummm... I don't know. But I prefer the [Color] one." One of them said, a purple haired boy.
"Really? I think the [Other Color] would suit her better." The other one said, an orange haired boy.
"Eh? But this one is better,"
"No, I believe this one is better."
"This one."
"This one."
The two of them argued, having their own mini staring contest until they turned around. They pouted, shoving the different kind of fabric to a girl behind them.
"Which one do you choose," they said in unison, "[First Name]-chan?"
"Daydreaming in a place like this is not good you know." A cold, sea water was splashed to your face, earning a small yelp from you and a glare for the person who did it.
"You don't have to do that, Asuma-san." You pouted. Asuma grinned at you and sat beside you on Senoo's household' terrace, "Well, I can't just leave my junior alone like that, right? What if someone try to kidnap you?" He said, more in a joking manner. A yell of 'I won't let it happen' from Kaede was heard from inside the house. You and Asuma laughed as the response.
"Uwahhh! I can't believe we're going back to Tokyo tomorrow!" The second year stretched his hands, looking at the sky once he's done. "And a few days after that, we'll be facing Honan in EoS." A smile made it way to his face.
"Time sure flies fast. As for me, I still couldn't believe I'm a high school student right now."
"Whoa? Are you kidding me?" Asuma surprised, "Then you should start believe it now. You won't be a high school student forever after all."
Time, huh?
"Oi,oi, I came here to stop you from dozing off. Don't do it again." You blinked your eyes when Asuma's words bring you back to reality. "I'm sorry."
"You know, you look like having a brainstorm in your head since we came here. Mind to tell your 'senpai' right here?" He smiled; let me repeat again, more in a joking manner.
You looked at him, unsure. Should you tell him? About everything that's been running in your mind right now? About what the old woman from the supermarket and what she said to you. Should you tell him?
But, nah,
"Nothing,"
Smiling, you stood up.
"I'm fine, Asuma-san."
You turned around and went to Senoo's house when Asuka-san voice reached your ears.
* * * * *
"Finally," a blond male (or female, maybe) from Honan said dramatically as he closes his eyes and let the wind came his way.
"After two weeks of suffering," continued his teammate, a green haired guy with glasses.
"We're finally reached this stage!" This time, it was a member from Saisei, a blond haired guy with a happy-go-lucky personality.
"LET'S SWIM!" The three boys practically threw their shirts to the sand, leaving them only with their swimsuits and ran straight to the blue sea. Hasekura, Kuga, Asuma, and Kaede raced behind them. Shizuma laughed at the others enthusiasm and took the scattered shirts and put it somewhere else with no sand under it. He then proceed took off his own shirt and join the others.
"You're not going to join them?" Reiji asked, from how he dressed, you were sure he just needs to take off his shirt and join the others.
You shook your head, "Sakura-san and I will go a yukata shop to rent one for each of us. So we'll pass this one."
"Yukata shop?" He turned to Senoo, "Then should we accompany you?"
You and Sakurai shared a glance, and before you could reply to the older male, Sakurai opened her mouth. "Yes, please!"
Eh?
"Sa-Sakurai-san??"
"It's okay, right? We can ask their comments about the yukata!"
Ehhh?? Are you sure?
* * * * *
And that's how you ended up in here.
Inside a nice, traditional yukata shop with two males in front of you, having a mini argument about which one would suit you the best.
The one who started it all was actually you. As soon as you get inside the shop and talked a bit with the manager, you got distracted by two different fabrics while Sakurai went somewhere else in this shop –Fujiwara Takeru and Yagami Riku who decided not to swim accompanied her.
"Like I said, this one is better."
"No, this one is way better than that one."
"What are you talking about? This color matches with her hair."
"And don't you think this one matches her eye color?"
You and the manager sweat-dropped behind them. "Looks like you have to choose between those fabrics."
A jingled sound from the door catches your attention. The manager beside you smiled, greeting the person who just came into the store.
"Oh, Mom, did you get what you want?"
The person who just got into the store, an old woman with a warm face, smiled at you. "I did. Ah, we have a beautiful customer here."
You smile shyly at her, bowing lightly at the woman.
The woman looked at you, "It is really nice to finally meet you again."
Again?
"Again?"
The manager and you changed look, what does she mean by 'again'?
"You came here 10 years ago, right? With Tasuku and that purple haired male. I remember they were fighting over which one would suit you the best."
"It was them? The two boys I met 10 years ago?"
The woman chuckled, "Yes, it was them. I remember Tasuku came here with a smile 10 years ago. And I expected him to come again with the same smile. But for the last 9 nine years, this is the first time I see him again with that smile."
Your eyes widened a bit, eyes looking at the woman who smiled.
"I'm glad you came again."
That's it. It all matched. The stride they did at the very first day, the ice cream, everything. It's all matches with your memory.
And if the scenario God give you is the same like what He did 10 years ago, then you know what your next step would be.
Walking towards the arguing boys, you reached for a fabric between their chosen ones. A yukata with [Fav Color] butterfly as the decorations and [Other Fav Color] as the main color.
"I choose this one."
"Why? This one is better."
"Reiji-san, I told you this one is better. Why did you choose that one after all, [First Name]?"
You smiled, blushing.
"Because I chose this one 10 years ago."
You don't have to see. You don't have to look. But you know that they have deep blush on their cheeks.
