"Yeah, me too! We can meet at the bus stop that I just made up right next to where we’re standing?”

Now that they’ve made plans, Momoi was getting really excited. She’s never really had many female friends. Oh, wait… Friends. She doesn’t even know this girl’s name yet.

"Uh, what’s your name, actually? I’m Momoi Satsuki, by the way."

[imougou]

{☂} ❝Oh, right! That's a good place to meet.❞ She should have thought of that herself, really. 

She rolled on the balls of her feet, bouncing with the little burst of enthusiasm the idea of meeting up to go to beach actually gave her. ❝I'm Gou Matsuoka!❞

[sockachowski]

"Did someone say ice pop? Count me in!"

[imougou]

{☂} ❝Boxes of them are pretty cheap..we could split one, if you'd like.❞

[fuckyeahsakurachiyo]

"Ahh, thanks!"

The pinkette was happy to go to the beach, with a girl. Maybe they could be friends, or maybe they were already classmates at school, but they have never met before.

"Of course! I still have a swimsuit at my apartment."

Momoi brought her swimsuit, since swimming was good exercise for her. After all, stuff like running and cycling wasn’t really her thing. However, was her swimsuit too small..?

[imougou]

{☂} ❝I'll have to stop at my apartment and grab my suit...❞ Or at least change into more appropriate beach-going wear, something in which she could enjoy walking along the shoreline. 

❝Maybe we could...meet somewhere..?❞

[imougou]

{☂} Aggressively fans herself. ❝Ehh, I could really use an ice pop right now..❞

"Huh? Does Toshi even have a beach?”

[imougou]

{☂} The carmine-haired swim team manager tilted her head. ❝I...think so!❞ At least, she hoped so. She was fairly certain she could smell the ocean on the breeze, sometimes.

If that wasn't the ocean she had smelled, then she wasn't sure she wanted to know what it was...

[fuckyeahsakurachiyo]

"Hmm? Alone? Can I tag along?"

To be honest, Momoi sort of felt like going to the beach too. After all, the only times she went was for training camps with sweaty boys. She hasn’t talked to many girls, either.

[imougou]

{☂} ❝Sure! I don't see why not -- ❞ Since moving to Toshi City, Gou hadn't really made many girl friends. In fact, she hadn't really branched out past her brother and his friends, something she had to try to amend. Maybe this would offer her the opportunity to bond with another girl!

And besides the beach offering a nice opportunity to tan, there would probably be some shirtless boys strutting their muscles for the world to see -- such as a typical part of the beach atmosphere, after all! ❝Er...are you sure, though?❞

[imougou]

{☂} ❝I...want to go to the beach!❞ A passionate declaration. Summer just wasn't summer without the beach. Besides her legs could use the tanning.

"Well, shucks. I hope it’s not me you’re talking about." Which is kind of a lie. Miyuki always likes being talked about.

[imougou]

{☂} "I don't think I could talk about someone I don't know..." He looked oddly familiar, but the littlest Matsuoka couldn't put her finger on just what it was about him that rang bells just yet.

[imougou]

{☂} "Boring."

swim club? {@imougou}

It was always nice being around someone like Gou. She wasn’t as high energy to deal with as Nagisa, Haruka and Rin. “I’m glad you’re doing well.” He answered, a chuckle leaving his lips when she spoke of Rin; That seemed about right. “I’ve not seen him in a few days.” He commented quietly, gesturing for her to follow him so they could walk as they spoke; The day seemed nice enough for it.

"I’m doing fine. It’s weird adjusting to a quiet house and I still can’t quite grasp cooking, but it’s fun." He answered her question, green hues glancing over at her somewhat fondly; he liked her after all.

"Yes, I wanted to start a swim team again." It only seemed right since they were all here, right? "I’ve already talked to Rin and Haru, I need to talk to Nagisa. But…I was wondering.." He sent her a smile. "..if you’d be our manager again?" 

[imougou]

{☂} She listened as she trotted along beside him, long hair bobbing with each of her steps. His remark about cooking cued a sympathetic nod from her, though her eyes still shone with bubbling inquiry and energy kept at bay. The more seconds that passed, the more she felt herself bouncing with impatience. 

But luckily enough Makoto was merciful and answered her question right away, assuaging her anxieties as she blinked thoughtfully. Gou glanced away from his face, his smile, and settled her gaze on the ground, calculating and evaluating in a manner suitable to the manager position she once held. 

It wasn't a surprise, per say, that they were interested in forming a swim team again. They couldn't stay out of the water, these boys; there was a deeper connection to it, something emotional and long-standing that had endured the test of turbulent friendships and time. It meant something to them that she would never be privy to completely understanding, though she did get a glimpse of it from time to time. But she hadn't expected them to make the decision to group together so quickly, really.

She wouldn't say no, obviously. She enjoyed compiling charts and scheduling practices and harping on the boys to push themselves and strive towards success. The youngest Matsuoka liked to observe their progress and growth and hard work as much as she liked to admire their muscles from a purely aesthetic standpoint. She liked the excitement of cheering at swim meets and seeing her brother smiling again. And the boys didn't seem to mind her coming along with them, and she did her job well enough that they were successful. A lot of their past endeavors were credited to the natural and cultivated talents Haruka, Nagisa, her brother, and Makoto, she knew that fully well, but it was still rewarding to know her own diligence played a small hand in it.

It was easy to get a little dreamy-eyed thinking about the opportunities the position offered her to admire well-shaped sets of muscles, though. She practically sparkled for a moment just thinking about it. Trapezius, Infraspinatus, Teres Minor and Major...

Oh, right, she was talking to Makoto.

"I would love to!" It was easy to return his smile after all.
