Third Person P.O.V.

Chika, Riko and Yume both have a day off tomorrow. They are deciding their plans for the trip next day when having lunch in the canteen.

" Maybe we can go to dive? It is relaxing to dive in a cool and beautiful ocean. " Yume suggests.

Chika giggles. " Yume chan~ You seem to love diving now... You should thank for us for bringing you to have a such great diving experience! " She says with a sly smirk.

Yume seems to notice her slyness behind her smirk. " So... What do you want? " She asks with a bit fear.

" Don't think too much! I am not that horrible person! " Chika laughs. " I just want you to pay for the meals tomorrow! " 

" Hey hey! " Riko suddenly speaks out, " I want to eat lobsters! " Saliva seems to seep out from her mouth when thinking out lobsters.

When looking at Riko's face, Chika and Yume burst into laughter when holding their abdomens painfully.

" Hey hey! What are you talking about? Why are you laughing so hard, Yudetako? " A familiar voice appears behind Yume when a warm hand pats on her head.

" Don't call me that, Subaru kun. " She turns around and pouts. " Hey. Where are your M4 members and my friends? Don't they have show to be with you? " 

Subaru sits down next to her and presses against her body. His actions make Yume blush unconsciously, at the same time, they make Chika and Riko chuckle secretly.

"They are coming! See, they are here now. " He replies when pointing a finger to the direction of the door. Same as his words, there are six people standing and gasping for air, seem like they just had a long run.

They come to Yume's side and sit down. 

" Subaru kun, you run really fast!  Are you too excited to see someone? " Asahi asks with a smirk when having a glance at  Yume.

Subaru's cheek turns into light pink color quickly when looking away, " What are you talking about?... " 

Yume peeks at him when softly whispers, " Yudetako... " 

It seems to be loud enough for him to hear. He immediately blushes even more when replies with two words " Shut up... " .

Ako mutters something in her mouth with a bitter look on Yume and Subaru. Why is there always a warm and soothing atmosphere surrounding them, but me...

" I heard that you three will have a day off tomorrow. We too! Can we go with you? " Subaru asks nervously. His friends are giggling behind him. 

" Oh, alright! We will go diving tomorrow! Will you mind?  " Yume asks with concerns.

" No, we don't mind, right? " He answers when taking a look on his friends.

" Of course we don't mind too! We all listen to our lover boy~~ " Asahi, Nozomu and Kanata say together with smirks.

Chika suddenly claps her hands.  " Hey! Here are so many people! We can hold a party on the beach too! " She suggests excitedly.

" That's nice! We can have a barbecue party after diving! " Yume says. " We can prepare a lot of delicious food!!! " 

Subaru suddenly flicks her forehead with fingers. " Hey, Yudetako! You just think of eating! Won't you get fat? " He says with a teasing smirk.

Yume mutters something with a pout. She softly hits his shoulder as a punishment, which makes him laugh.

" Sorry for interrupt your lovey-dovey interactions... " Laura says between laughing. " Yume... We don't know how to dive... " 

" No problem! " Chika says with a confident face. " I and Riko are really good at diving! Yume chan was taught by us too! "

" Well... I am relieved now. If Yume teaches us, we may ... " Mahiru makes a death sign by hands. 

" Hey!!! Mahiru chan!!! " Yume snarls at her when grinding her teeth and slapping the table. 

Mahiru laughs with tears, " Sorry sorry... Then we will meet at school entrance at 9:00 a.m. tomorrow. Okay? " 

" Yes! " They all reply.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

" Wow!!! " Yume exclaims when closing her eyes to feel the cool sea breeze. " It is so nice... " She slowly extends her arms to feel it with her whole body.

" Hey! Yume chan! We have to change clothes now... " A voice comes to her ears from a distance. Chika is calling her.  " Yes! I am coming! " She immediately replies happily when starting rushing to her.

After changing into diving costumes, they all get on the boats and go to the region of the ocean, which is far from the shore.

After an introduction of equipment and important gestures, they start jumping into the sea and learn how to breathe and move.

Laura, Nozomu and Mahiru follow Chika to dive when Ako, Kanata and Asahi follow Riko.

Yume decides to dive deeper. Subaru notices and chases behind her.

The oxygen cylinder is so heavy on the land, but when he is in the water, it seems to be less heavy to him.

He slowly swims next to Yume. She is surprised by him for chasing her. However, soon she smiles and catches his hand with hers. Subaru is shocked when seeing their fingers interwine with each other. A mixed feeling of excitement and joy fills his heart slowly, same goes to Yume.

Yume pulls Subaru to dive deeper to see the beautiful and colorful coral reefs. Some clownfish swims lively between the coral of different colors. Some sea anemones move slowly on the bottom of sea. It can be barely seen by them.

Suddenly, two pink fishes come together and connect their lips with each other. They must be kissing fishes. Yume and Subaru both remember the incidents in a narrow alley after the first performance of Aqour. They cannot help but gaze at each other with pink flushes on their cheeks.

Isn't it too strange and mysterious? A group of fishes with red scales suddenly come to their side and form a heart shape in the water. They continue gazing at each other with loving eyes when holding each other's hands.

Special feelings overflow each other's hearts. They both know that something important must be done with each other. However, Yume doesn't realize what is it when Subaru knows that they cannot do it in the water with such heavy equipment.

They slowly swim to the sea surface when hands are still connecting. They get off the water onto the boat. After teasing of their friends and attacking of Ako, they finally realize their connecting hands with red faces and immediately shake away each other's hands. However, they both feel prickles in their hearts after it.

After diving, it is still so early to start their barbecue party, so they decide to play volleyball on the beach first when Chika, Riko, Mahiru and Asahi leave to prepare for the party.

There are six people left. They decide to have three people in a team. Finally, Subaru, Yume and Laura are in one team when Ako, Kanata and Nozomu are in another one. Ako screams in her heart, why am I not with my Subaru kyun, but that green hair guy...? !

During the match, Yume jumps up to hit the ball but she slips when she lands on the ground. Subaru notices and rushes to catch her at once. 

Yume closes her eyes when she is falling. She thinks that she is going to hurt. However, out of her expectation, she lands on something soft. When she opens her eyes, she discovers that she is laying on the body of Subaru when his arms are wrapping around her, making her even close to him. She blushes within a second and immediately gets up from him. 

" T-thank you, S-Subaru kun... " She stutters when looking away to avoid any eye-contact.

" It is fine... " After being helped to get up by Yume, he murmurs nervously with red face. 

Without their notice, Ako is gripping her cat claws and trying to attack Yume, but she is stopped by Kanata and Nozomu.

Then, the match continues. Ako converts her anger into energy. She has made a lot of powerful hit in the match. However, Yume uses her skills, experience and the cooperation with Subaru and Laura to win her.

" Hey! Stop playing! We can start our party now! " Chika yells at them.

" Yes! We are coming! " They reply and run to the direction of Chika.

They cook a lot of food, such as sausages, fishes, lobsters and chicken wings. They all having the meals happily. Subaru even helps Yume to make food for her as a gentleman. Of course, the boys tease at them when Ako stares at them with jealousy.

After playing some games, they all feel tried and go back to school.

During the way on bus, Yume and Subaru sit together. They both fall into sleep. Yume puts her head on Subaru's shoulder when his head puts on top of Yume's one. 

They are perfectly matched with each other. However, both of them do not want to take a step more to deepen their relationship...
