Life's a beach (Mori and Noe-chan)

Mori sighed a little bit as he swam through the fast currents of the automatic wave pool, Hunni resting on his shoulders and laughing the whole time. Honestly it was beginning to get a little bit boring. Deciding that he was done, he got out of the water, taking Hunni with him for now. Hunni pouted a little before rushing off to get a soda of some sort. Moving over to Kyoya he blinked a few times. Getting the hint, Kyoya rolled his eyes a little bit as he relaxed on the sun bed,

"I believe that your friend is at the front gate." he told Mori simply, "You need to go pick her up otherwise my family's police force won't let her in."

Nodding in understanding, Mori made his way to the entrance to the park, enjoying the sounds of the tropical environment he now found himself in. As he neared the entrance he wondered if it was a good idea to meet her in nothing but his wet swimming trunks. In the end he decided it was better not to keep her waiting.

He gave one of the private police officers a nod at the gate and he disappeared through the gate to fetch Noemie. Mori was glad that the heating in this place was so amazing because he was still dripping wet. He waited patiently, quite excited to see someone he could see as his only friend outside of the host club.

Noemie had decided that she was going to meet Mori at the front gates of the park without being dressed in her swimsuit first, after all she might be waiting some time and she didn't want other people to see her in her outfit apart from the ones she was comfortable with. To be honest she was a little embarrassed. Her mother had jumped on her little feelings for Mori and bought this for her.

Her first attempt she had to return, really, it was too revealing! It was hard to believe her MOTHER bought that for her? Although she was almost as irresponsible as she was sometimes, thats why it was so fun she assumed. She got on with her mum well despite her erraticness.

When she saw Mori approaching from the distance she jumped out of the car her family had sent for her, as it pulled away she moved towards the gates, now she was actually let in the damn park. She was wearing some black tight shorts with her bikini underneath, and a black strap top with her bikini underneath that too, and some flip flop sandals.

Seeing him in his swimwear, without a tshirt, made her blush brightly, honestly she hadn't really paid that much thought to the idea that the boys would all be here semi naked, although now it was a thought that she found hard to ignore, considering it was right in front of her. Noemie coughed, got a hold of herself and smiled softly eventually;

"Its nice to see you again Mori-sempai, I've been looking forwards to this little trip, it should be fun huh?" she asked with a small smile "Is Hunni-sempai already inside? Honestly...I don't think I've ever seen you without him!"

Mori had been thinking about the policy that Kyoya's private police had set up and he honestly didn't see the logic in getting one of the people already inside the park to let other people in. Kyoya was never away from his phone, surely they could just ring him and tell them that there was someone there for them and let them in if it was confirmed that they were invited? But then again he wasn't the police officer here so it wasn't his decision to make.

When he saw her walking through the gates he took the chance to check her out now that she wasn't wearing a school uniform. He had to admit that she looked damn fine with those shorts and the strap t-shirt on. Less clothing to take off for swimming he supposed. It definately looked good on her though Mori had to admit, his eyes lingering on every inch of her exposed skin.

Thankfully it didn't seem to matter that he had zoned out because she seemed to have done exactly the same thing when she saw him. He could tell by the blush that she was enjoying checking him out in only his swim suit. He could tell even by the clothes that she was currently wearing that he would probably be much the same way when she took off the clothes on top of her swim suit,

"Likewise." he greeted her with a small smile, "It will be a good chance to get to know each other. Hunni-san is currently enjoying a smoothie."

When she commented on having never seen him without Hunni he chuckled a little bit. It was true to be fair, Hunni was with him a lot of the time. He offered her his hand,

"Allow me to escort you." he offered politely before answering, "Hunni-san and I have been friends for a long time, he is shy without me there. And honestly I find it hard to talk much so there is a partnership of a sort."

Noemie felt herself heating up again when she saw that Mori had in fact been looking at her in her outfit, or rather lack of outfit. She was a little paler than the other girls were over here, just because she was from Switzerland and she hardly ever got a tan because the only place you got one of them was on the slopes, and she hated skiing with a massive passion. The only time she had went she had broken her wrist, never ever again.

When however, he began to speak again, she was jerked out of her thoughts and she found herself wondering about his deep voice again, he sounded so rough. Unsure as to why it had really appealed to her in the first place, Noemie thought it probably wasnt the best time to actually think about that when Mori was here, she didn't want to be rude to him.

"A smoothie? Something that isn't related to chocolate? Wow...I am shocked!" she laughed softly "So... you want to get to know me hmmm, I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who wants to get to know someone better!" Noemie teased softly, winking and sticking her tongue out.

Confidently she took Mori's hand in her own when he offered it to her, although, she did so gently and without showing undue haste, it wouldn't do to lose her manners just because she was excited to be in his company. As she stepped further into the park, she warmed even more and she sighed softly, already she was relaxing and she was enjoying herself.

"Thank you." she grinned "I thought you had been, you guys seem really close, although, if I was in your position I would find it really hard, I'm someone who enjoys my space, being around someone all the time, would eventually start to grate on me." she admitted with a gentle smile "Why do you find it hard to talk Mori-sempai? You don't have a stutter do you?" Noemie teased.

Something that Mori had noticed when he had been checking Noemie out was the tone of her skin was a lot paler than that of japanese women. It was rather... compelling. Yes that's what it was. He would also freely admit that it gave the already beautiful girl a touch of the exotic. He wondered what the contract between their skin tones would look like up close? Really close... he stopped the train of thought. It was headed directly for the gutter.

Mori chuckled a little bit when she was surprised that Hunni would be drinking something not related to chocolate. The smaller boy did enjoy his chocolate and his sweets that was for sure but he did enjoy other things,

"Sometimes his teeth ache too. So he tries other things." he told her with a little smirk despite the completely factual tone of voice, "Of course I wanted to get to know you better. You are a very beautiful, very intriging, young woman... Noe-chan."

Holding her cold hand in his warm one, Mori couldn't help but notice how small it was when it was compared to his own. He gave it a soft squeeze and smiled slightly at her as they made their way further into the park. He chuckled a little bit,

"Yes sometimes Hunni-san can grate on me. But he usually recognises it and stops." he told her. When she teased him about finding it hard to talk he froze for a moment. Coughing a little bit, he shook his head, "No... I just..."

He looked away for a second before replying,

"I hate my voice."

Noemie blushed even more when she heard Mori complimenting her like this, she was so very happy that he thought she was beautiful and that she was intriguing...she certainly was intriguing, she didn't even know herself completely any more, she was just unsure of what realms she would push to, that she never thought she would have to push to in her life before what had happened earlier this week.

"Thank you, Mori-sempai." she whispered quietly, reaching her hand up to touch her blush "You're very kind to think such things, although, you're more than a little intriguing yourself, maybe we can unravel each others mysteries together?" Noemei teased lightly, squeezing his hand softly with her own fingers.

After her fathers move here to Japan, a large portion of his stocks failed. He's invested so much money in this company and it bust overnight! Now they were living close to the breadline with his earnings each month being their only income, her mother, too stubborn and embarrassed to seek a job, let her father to lay in the bed he made for himself. Which left her.

Her first tournament was tonight too, she was so nervous, but for now she would enjoy the relaxing beach with Mori.

Tilting her head to one side, she frowned softly, so...he did grate on him sometimes? Well, that shot down the romantic they love each other all the time view but...it was more realistic and made her think that the two of them were capable of having a life without each other. Be damned if Hunni kept trying to intrude on them if they...got up to something private.

"He is a very considerate friend, I wish I had someone who would do something like that for me, how long have you known each other?" Noemei asked happily, before the mood changes and she stopped when Mori did too, looking up into his face, she took in the expression on her features and she felt sad she had even thought to tease him about his voice and speech now "You hate your voice...w-why? I think...I think it's very attractive."

After admitting something like that, she was relieved to hear that there were others in the distance, she could even hear Hunni and she smiled happily;

"Looks like we found them again huh? You want to go swimming with me?"

Mori wasn't sure what had gotten into him if he was being honest with himself. The simple truth was that Mori, despite being a member of the host club, rarely complimented anyone. It was mainly because he rarely spoke to be honest though. But complimenting her just felt so natural that he didn;t realise that he had done so until it was already done. He smiled a little bit wider at her blush,

"You are welcome." he told her with a teasing smirk before he chuckled a little bit, "You're welcome to try to unravel my mystery. Since I don't think I have one you'll have to look very hard."

Even now his throat was beginning to get irritated from all the talking he was doing. To someone else he would have hardly been speaking at all but to Mori, who often went days without uttering a single word, speaking this much was really beginning to wear on his throat. It was alright though.

As he had explained to her, Mori hated his voice. It was the same voice that his abusive biological father had and it had been the voice of his daily tormentor when he was younger. It was the same voice that had roared, ranted and raved when his father had beaten his mother to within an inch of her life and thrown him down flights of stairs. He didn't want to share the voice of the man who he hated above all others,

"He is a good friend, we are related actually, we are cousins. Although he only really became close when we attended grade school together." he told her honestly with a small smile. When she mentioned the voice he closed his eyes for a moment before replying, "Thank you but... it is a deeply personal reason. I have never told anyone..."

When the sounds of the rest of the group became clearer he relaxed a little bit. That last bit of conversation had been getting a little bit tense. Tamaki rushed over to introduce himself to Noemie,

"Ah Noemie-chan! Good to see that you made it!" he greeted her excitedly, shaking her hand, "I've heard such wonderful things about you from Hunni and Mori! Well... from Hunni anyway, Mori's too much like a piece of furniture to give opinions."

Mori frowned a little bit, the only sign that he was displeased with what Tamaki had said. He really did dislike being referred to as a piece of furniture.

Noemie understood that he didn't want to tell her, now she felt a little bad for asking, she hadn't known it was really personal she thought it might just be a lead for her to ask him about what was wrong with his voice. Now that she knew of course, she wouldn't ask him again, if he wanted to tell her than he would do in his own time without her pushing him to spill the reason. Bowing lightly she hung her head;

"I apologise Mori-sempai, I didn't know that it was such a sensitive issue, I promise I won't mention it again." she vowed, she meant what she said and even as she straightened up she set her soft, yet resolute smile upon Mori's face, so that he would know that as well.

As soon as they were with the other group the awkwardness was dissappating and she smiled happily, glad to meet yet another friend, shaking Tamaki-kun's hand when he introduced himself, Noemie blushed a little when she heard that Hunni had been talking about her to the rest of the group. To herself, she smiled a little sadly, she wasn't sure she was so wonderful any more, given what she had been up to.

"I hope that they have only been telling the truth, not spinning any tall stories." she grinned at Hunni, and then at Mori "Nothing about me being a witch or anything." Noemie giggled, winking at the small blonde boy, of course referring to her summoning of a cupcake from behind his ear.

Although Tamaki seemed harmless, she couldn't help but frown softly when he called Mori a peice of furnature, letting go of Mori;s hand which she didn't even know she still had hold of, Noemei bit her lip and smirked up at Mori;

"First you're a horse, and now you're a chair?" she asked with a devilish grin "Why everyone seems to be sitting on you, maybe I should give it a try?"

Giggling, and winking, to show she was just joking she spotted the changing room, exused herself, and wandered out about ten minutes later in her white bikini with black edges, it was what her mother had chosen but she liked it, it covered everything it needed to, and looked cute, but still showed enough to be sexy. Noemei especially liked the way that it showed the top part of her tattoo on her hip.

"Is anyone up for a dip with me?" she offered jovially.

Mori knew that she could not have known about his hatred of his own voice because no one else knew about it at all. None of the other hosts had cared enough to ask about why he never spoke, just assuming that it was a choice thing. It was a choice thing but the concern would have been nice. Not even Hunni, his own cousin, had asked. Although that might have been because Hunni had figured it out. Seeing her smile he knew that she hadn't meant anything by it and he just playfully ruffled her hair in response, not wanting to talk now.

Tamaki laughed a little bit when she asked about tall tales and Hunni suddenly became very interested in the bottom of his smoothie glass. Mori knew why of course. Hunni had gone on, at great length, about how Noemie was a good witch and that she was able to make things appear out of thin air by pulling them out from behind ears. Tamaki chuckled a little bit,

"Oh don't worry, your secret is safe with us." he teased her a little bit before shuddering, "You're nowhere near as into it as Nekozawa-sempai of course... he's very obviously some kind of wizard! He put a curse on me I tell you!"

Kyoya casually pushed his glasses up,

"He walked into the wrong exam hall actually." he told her with a smirk, noticing how Tamaki seemed to gain a cloud of depression around him, "Wonderful to meet you Noemie-san. Mori holds you in particularly high esteem."

Mori tried to keep himself from blush at the comment and when she went to the changing room he glared at a smirking Kyoya until she returned from the changing rooms in her bikini. Almost immediately the twins were knocked out by twin nosebleeds and Tamamki's jaw dropped. Mori's blush was back on his face as his eyes skimmed over her entire body. She was flawless. And there was just the tip of a tattoo on her hip, just poking out from under her bikini bottoms. He swallowed a little bit and closed Tamaki's mouth as he approached her,

"You look... amazing." he told her honestly before smiling and moving towards the current river, "I would love to swim with you. I trust you are a strong swimmer?"

Noemie had pouted prolifically when Mori had ruffled her hair, she knew then that he must want to be silent, and accepted this, she just wanted her new friend to be happy to be honest, and if that meant that he wanted to stay silent for as long as he wanted to, then that was fine by her, at least she knew that there was an issue now, she could help overcome it if he wanted...in time of course.

Looking at Hunni with a little grin on her face, she shook her head with a laugh, it seemed as if he had been quite excited by the way that she had been able to do some magic, and so, she was going to do some magic for Tamaki right this second. It would be more impressive than the thing she had pulled out of Hunni's ear, because she wasn't really expected to know about it.

"Oh, I'm deeper into it than you can imagine Tamaki-sempai." she winked, leaning forwards a little teasingly, as if going to whisper something into his ear, before she deftly flicked her fingers and out from behind his ear popped a photograph of Haruhi Fujioka in middle school, presenting it to him she poked out her tongue "But I'm not as bad as he is surely?" Noemie laughed.

Kyoya was another new member of the Club she hadn't met, he seemed almost as quiet as Mori, but, he was attractive like him as well. Smiling politely at him, she bowed her head, he seemed to be one of those people she should respect, the Ootori family were really rich, and had a private police force that could get one her trail in a matter of moments...if she was found out.

"He does?" she asked softly, with a shy smile "Well, isn't this interesting?"

Giggling a little at the boy's reaction, Noemie merely blushed lightly, not caring about the others so much, just as long as she got Mori's approval, and she did. He spoke to her, and it was another compliment, she was so happy that he liked her suit, perhaps she could arrange for a little accident to happen later in the trip? It seemed just a tad too soon for something like that though...when she drove her hormones deep down and let reason take over.

"Thanks, my mum actually picked this out for me, she always knows what suits me." she grinned "Of course I am, although, if I got cramp you would come and save me right?" Noemie asked with a cheeky smile before dipping into the water, shivering a little as she sumberged herself into the warm current pool, gliding under the water, and doing a few widths first, she paused, now fully wet and glistening with water in the light from above.

Mori could tell that she didn't like the way he had ruffled her hair just then but he had to admit that she looked very cute when she pouted like that. He was also very glad that she caught onto, and respected, his desire not to talk right now. It meant that she was paying attention to his mood and actually cared enough to adjust accordingly. He wished others in the host club would learn how to do that.

Hunni blushed a little bit at the little grin she gave him and once again became very interested in his smoothie, more than a little bit embarassed at having been found to have told people about he being a witch. Of course Mori wasn't sure his cousin wasn't just acting to his part again. Tamaki laughed a little bit,

"Oh I'm sure you're not as deeply into it as Nekozawa-sempai." he told her before he blinked a little bit in confusion at her actions. When he saw that it was a picture of Haruhi in middle school he blushed bright red and snatched the picture from her to cradle it like a cherish possession, "Oh you're much better! You use your magically talents for the forces of good and true love!"

Mori wanted to walk over to the club's 'mother' and smack Kyoya round the face repeatedly for passing along the gist of some of the comments he had made about Noemie. Kyoya noticed the effect he had caused with Mori and just chuckled lightly as he pushed his glasses up slightly,

"Indeed he does. I do believe he spoke more about you than he has about anything this entire year." he commented with a smirk, seeing Mori frown at him, "Indeed, perhaps you should ask him yourself about what kind of things he's mentioned?"

Mori found it hard to consider that a mother would pick that kind of swimsuit out for her daughter. Weren't mothers supposed to be really overly protective of their daughters? He had to admit though that the woman had very good taste,

"She has good taste." he admitted, slightly flushed, before he chuckled a little bit, "Of course. I have lifeguard training."

When she took her little dip into the water he followed her happily, enjoying how the cool water cooled down his rather hot skin. The heating system here was amazing, made everything feel so realistic.

Noemie was really having fun with the Host Club, they were all really nice people, perhaps in time they would get to be closer than they were right now, but if they didnt, she was alright with just being friends with Mori and Hunni. Although they would leave school before her, she was glad she had seemed to make such fast friends together, perhaps, even more than friends.

When Kyoya continued to tell her about how much Mori had spoke about her, Noemie heard little alarm bells ringing in her head. She was so happy that she was here with him, and that he had feelings for her like she seemed to have feelings for him...but...she couldn't allow him to get that much closer to her, if she did, and they ended up...involved, then, it might be bad for Mori's family to be linked to someone like her.

"I think I'm going to have to ask him about it." she grinned, "Although, at another time maybe, Mori you look far too scary right now, you should calm down." Noemie giggled a little bit poking his muscular arm to try and get him to lighten up slightly.

Noting the way that he flushed when she mentioned about her mother picking out the swimsuit, Noemie felt a little surge of pride within her, although she was a tease, it was always nice to know that she was being appreciated too, that she was actually being successful. Noemie continued to swim up and down the current pool, it was hard work fighting against the current all the time.

"You do?" she asked, interested "You seem like the type to be a lifeguard."

As she saw him swimming in the water, she felt her own cheeks flushing a little bit, he was very muscular and strong there was no doubt about that but...but more than that the water added made the image even more irresistable. Running her hands through her wet hair, she grabbed a float from the side and rested her arms on it to keep her bobbing along in the current.

"Oh this is so relaxing, I can't believe I've never heard of this place before, I would have definately asked to come if I had. I've wanted to go to the tropics for a long time." she whispered softly "I think that my mother would like it here, she'd really be in her element!"

Laughing a little bit she kicked her legs to catch up to Mori and she smiled softly;

"This is tiring me out already...I'm going to just follow the current pool instead of swimming against it, I mean, whats the point of that?" she asked with a cheeky grin.

Mori was glad that her meeting with, at least most of, the Host Club was going so well. Tamaki and Hunni both really seemed to like her but Kyoya surprisingly did too. Or maybe the financially minded teen was actually just trying to get under his skin? He was never too sure with Kyoya. Kyoya chuckled a little bit to himself before nodding, causing Mori to groan a little bit,

"Yes you should hear this straight from the horse's mouth." he commented, earning a laugh from Hunni and a small scowl from Mori. He did love to torment the larger boy like this, "Yes Mori-sempai you should calm down. You'd listen to Noe-chan wouldn't you?"

Mori listened to her and did actually calm down in terms of anger but he was still flushed over the swimsuit itself. She was teasing him without even meaning to it seemed and it was driving his body, his hormones, nuts. He coughed a little bit nervously before following her easily through the currents,

"I do." he repeated before smiling slightly, "It is my summer job at the beach. I like to ensure everyone is safe."

He could see that she was looking at him as he swam and it almost made him lose his concentration. In the end he didn't though, he just managed to reach the edge of the pool. Holding on with one hand, he enjoyed just resting in the water,

"It is." he agreed with her before shaking his head with a small smile, "It is not open to the public yet Kyoya says. But you and your family will be welcome to come whenever you like."

He raised an eyebrow but decided to do what she was doing and just let the current take hold of him, bobbing alongside her in the water,

"This is much more relaxing." he admitted with a small smile, "Much more fun."
