The first thing Michiru noticed when she woke up was that the hurricane was gone. The winds were no longer whipping alongside the building and the rolling feeling in her core that reflected the sea's turmoil was gone. She stretched languidly, indulging in the quiet. It was still early by the clock, and she bet the sun wasn't up yet. Ah, to watch the sunrise over the ocean... It had always been one of her favorite things to do back home, and she had little doubt the sunrise would be just as beautiful here.

She slipped out of bed, being careful not to disturb Haruka, and quietly opened her closet. A few minutes of rummaging through the clothes turned up one of her favorite beach swimsuits. She brought it into the bathroom with her and quickly went about her morning ablutions, sans the makeup. No sense in putting on much if she was just going to get it washed off by the waves.

"Planet, two beach towels, a blanket, and sunscreen please" she said, closing her eyes for a moment. "And a bag to carry them in" Sure enough, when she opened her eyes and turned around, the requested items were stacked neatly on the edge of the bathtub. She changed into the swimsuit, packed the bag and went back out into the bedroom. She dropped the bag at the foot of the bed and reached over to gently shake Haruka awake.

"Haruka, Haruka dear..."

	"Because if we go after the sun has risen, we don't get to watch the sun rise" Michiru said in her most patient tone. It was an old conversation, but one she enjoyed having. After all, she'd get her way in the end. "Get up" she said, again, this time with a little more force behind her words. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

And there it was, the slightly more demanding tone. It meant Michiru wouldn't tolerate much more resistance to her idea. With a sigh that turned into another yawn, Haruka pulled the bathing suit underneath the covers. She slid out of her pajama pants and pulled the bathing suit on, still laying down. She'd be able to sort-of doze if she did this, and she wouldn't have to leave the comfort of the blankets just yet. She yanked the top of her pajamas over her head, getting a little tangled in the arms as she did so, then reached down to pull the bathing suit the rest of the way up.

Haruka opened both eyes and blinked several times. She reached up to wipe the sleep from them, then rolled over to look at Michiru. "We could always wait until evening and go out to watch the sun set," she pointed out. She far preferred sunsets to sunrises. It was just her luck her lover was the opposite.

Knowing that response would prompt another stern remark if she didn't move, Haruka flung the covers back and pushed herself up into a sitting position. "I'm up," she said. "Just let me get a comb for my hair." It tended to get very mussed when she slept, and stuck up at odd angles all over her head. Hotaru had said once that her Haruka-papa "looked like Sonic the Hedgehog" in the morning.

	"Maa, Haruka" Michiru said, twisting away. "That makes it hard to swim" She kicked out into the water, swimming at a lazy pace as the sky lightened more and the first colors of sunrise began to appear on the horizon. She let the waves carry her out further without having to exert much. "Aren't you glad I dragged you out here?" she asked, treading water again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
