Tachibana 2

>A break in the schedule of the ARC Angels has given Tachibana some free time, so you both head to the beach for some summer fun while you still could.

>The door to the changing room opens, and Tachibana steps out, dressed in a two piece leopard bikini. You can only stare in awe.

>"E-Embarrassed..." She says softly.

>"Don't be. You look great!" You assure her, offering her your hand. "C'mon. Let's go have some fun."

>Tachibana looks at your hand with a blush, nodding shyly as she takes your hand.

>It was your standard beach affair. Playing and enjoying the sun and sea breeze. Tachibana in time over came her shyness and enjoyed the summer in earnest with you every step of the way.

>After a little while, some people began to take notice of Tachibana's presence on the beach as onlookers pulled out their phones, pointing and whispering about you both.

>"The press will be here soon. Should we hide?" You ask. Tachibana nods. You can tell she wanted a day for just the two of you.

>You eventually find a small cove off shore. "We should be able to hide here for now." You say, lying back as the sun shines overhead. Tachibana sits next to you and pulling her legs up to her chest.

>After a bit, you get the feeling that Tachibana is brooding over something. "What's wrong?"

>"I..." She starts, trying to find the right words. But you can already tell what she wants to say.

>"Shall we head back then?" You ask. Tachibana smiles and nods.

>Returning to the shore, you barely have any time before a few of the local music reporters track you down and surround you both, asking questions.

>"Tachibana! Who's this young man you're with?" One of them asks finally. You gulp slightly at the question, but Tachibana just smiles and grabs your arm.

>"He's my boyfriend." She states plain as day.

>The reporters burst out with more questions. You can only look on with a bit of a blush as Tachibana looks up at you, smiling bright like the summer sun.
