Beach. Everyone has been working so hard lately so why not take a break and enjoy the beach? You can make sand castles, play in the water, and there are even umbrellas for those who'd rather just relax in the shade. There's a nice row of water melons ready to be smashed later in the day and when the sun goes down, that's when the sparklers come out.
Suffering. It's the hottest time of the year and the citadel doesn't have central air conditioning. The few air conditions that were installed have given up on life after being used so much and now, we really have to make do with what we can while the Konnosuke try to fix it. There's a limited number of fans, plenty of ice cream to go around, and the citadel should be built to circulate air, right? ... Right?!
Spooks. In Japan, summer is a time for horror. Gather around the camp fire and hear some spooky ghost stories or maybe head out into the woods just outside the citadel for a good ol' fashioned test of courage. It's all good, harmless fun! Of course, with so many spirits gathered in one place, what's to say a stray or curious outsider spirit won't join the mix...
Rain. Summer is also known for sudden and torrential downpours of rain. The clouds always seem to grown and darken suddenly and the next thing you know, it's raining sheets and the ground is shaking from thunder. Once it starts, it never seems to stop. Maybe you were caught out in the rain or maybe this is day 7 stuck inside.
Other! It's summer and there are tons of things to do. Go to the general store and stock up on ice cream, wake up in the middle of the night uncomfortable with heat, or run around screaming because cicadas are dying and flying at your face.
[Ichigo moans loudly into the kiss. He’s completely forgotten about wanting to keep it down... and this is exactly why they couldn’t do this in the Awataguchi room. They should be far away enough right now to avoid traumatising any of the children, maybe.
Ichigo closes his eyes and lies back, panting hard, still quivering lightly as he enjoys the afterglow. When Mikazuki slumps down on him, he reaches out to wrap his arms around him and to lightly kiss the top of his head.]
[Sure, Ichigo has been here a while, and Mikazuki was prepared for things to just remain how they were. Honebami didn't remember anything, after all. At least Mikazuki would get to see Ichigo alive and well.
But now the heat has helped bring them back together. Ichigo sill doesn't remember, but... but his heart is still Mikazuki's, somehow. Some parts of him haven't completely forgotten.]
[He tightens his hold on him. Hearing that fills him with immense joy but also... a deep sense of guilt. He should have approached him earlier! Mikazuki must have felt so lonely when he'd arrived with no recollection of him...]
... yes, and I won't leave you this time.
[It might be difficult to keep this promise but he does really mean it. He would fight whoever tried to separate them again.]
