NANASE YUTAROU
..........................................................................................................................................................
"Since you have told me about your secret, how about I told you mine in return?" As expected, Yuki couldn't have been more interested, her eyes sparkling as she hopped up and down with a smile. She listened to his story with acute attention, and frowned when Hiruka spoke about the two friends having to separate. "But the day before we parted, we have made a promise that one day, we will see each other again, and we'll be together forever. Even til' now, I still hold to that promise. It's a little bit childish of me, don't you think?" Yuki shook her head and smiled. "Having hope isn't childish!" XXXX
When it was time for Hiruka to go back to work, Yuki happily offered to walk him to the building's lobby, Yui watching from her desk and smiling at how much the ten-year-old seemed to enjoy Hiruka's presence. "I'll see you again. Say 'hi' to your tou-san for me, okay?" "'Kay! Come back soon, Ruru-san!" Waving dramatically as he left, Yuki watched until Hiruka was out of sight before heading back to Snowflower's studio, saying hi to anyone she recognized along the way. Yui waved Yuki over upon her return. XX
"Nee, Yu-chan." Yui said, crouching down next to her. "You really like Hiruka-san, don't you?" Yuki nodded furiously, and Yui smiled. "Alright. So, what do you think would happen if Hiruka-san became your otou-san's boyfriend someday?" XX
After the moment it took for the idea to sink in, Yuki's face lit up like a light bulb, the tiny girl gasping as if she'd just discovered the meaning of life. "That would be amazing! Ruru-san could come live with us and hang out all the time and come to my school for festivals! And he would get free tickets to come see tou-san play! They should totally be boyfriends, or even husbands!" Yui cracked up laughing. XX
Yuki went off to her table to finish what was left of her homework, eyes still sparkling. It wasn't much longer before Yutaro came out of the recording studio, feeling exhausted and hungry. Yuki hopped up from her place the moment she saw him, running over with a bright grin. "Tou-san, tou-san! You should make Ruru-san your boyfriend so he can hang out with us more! And so you can go on dates like Jun and Ryou-san!" She said, bouncing up and down with excitement. Kenta burst out laughing, and so did Yui, even though she was still in her office. Yutarou simply grew red in the face, a bit confused. XX
"Wha- Yu-chan, why do you think he should be my boyfriend? We don't even know him that well yet." "Ryou-san told me you have a crush on Ruru-san because of his pretty hair, and Yui told Ruru-san that he would be good for you, and that you flirt with each other, and that means you should become boyfriends!" Yui was impressed that Yuki had been eavesdropping then without being noticed. "What?" Yui took that moment to waltz out of her office, smirking as she leaned on Jun, who was scowling at the conversation topic. "Ah, that's right. Hiruka was at the studio for almost an hour. He walked Yuki here, helped with her homework, chatted with me about things I'm not at liberty to talk about. Mostly about you. Apparently he also trimmed Yuki's hair, how kind!" XX
"Wait, what?! He was here?! And you didn't tell me?! Yui!" "Oi, you shouldn't be jealous of your daughter just because she got to hang out with your crush and you didn't." Yutarou groaned. yui, Yuki, and Kenta were all having a field day watching him, laughing loudly while Jun grumbled about Hiruka being a 'sex-obsessed moron'. Yui smacked him over the head with a sigh. "You know, if you're gonna try and insult someone, you should try and get better at it. Your insults suck, little brother." Before Yuta could inquire about why Jun didn't like Hiruka, Yui dragged Jun out of the room, claiming they had 'places to be' and that everyone should go home before rush hour. XX
Deciding to follow Yui's advice and avoid rush hour traffic, Kenta, Yutarou, and Yuki walked together back to their apartment building. Kenta and Yuki chatted animatedly about the newest episodes of Naruto, which they had both watched together the night before. Yuta didn't know much about the show, since he was never around when they watched it, but he did know several of the ninja poses simply because Yuki would show them to him whenever she talked about the show. At the stoplight, Yutarou laughed as he mimicked one of the poses alongside Kenta and Yuki, who both shouted out the move's title as loud as possible, startling some of the other people who were waiting for the light to change colors. XXX
Back in their apartment, Yuki hurried to her room to put away her shoolbag, and Yutarou moved toward the kitchen to start cooking dinner. He still felt embarrassed about the fact that Yui had practically told Hiruka to ask him out, even if he had been outwardly flirting with the guy for a while. I wonder what kinds of things Yui and Hiruka talked about, if she 'wasn't at liberty to tell'. Usually she wouldn't care about spilling a secret someone's told her, so maybe its something else? Who knows. Pulling pork and a few different vegetables out of the fridge, Yutarou got to work cooking tonjiru. Yuki came back into the room as he was working, a book in her hands, and Yutaro noticed the fact that she paused to stare at Hana's photograph in the little shrine he'd constructed. "So, Yu-chan, what did Yui tell you about me and Hiruka becoming boyfriends?" XXX
"She didn't really tell me anything, she just asked what I thought would happen. And then I told her it would be super cool if Ruru-san was your boyfriend, because when people date they hang out a lot, and if Ruru-san hangs out with you a lot, it means he'll hang out with me a lot too! And," She paused then, frowning slightly and staring at her hands. "I thought maybe if you get a boyfriend, you'll stop missing okaa-san so much..." Yutarou dropped the spoon he was holding into the pot, not used to Yuki actually worrying about him. Usually it was the other way around. Taking a moment to fish the spoon out of the soup, Yuta wiped his hands off and moved to sit next to her at the table. "Oh, Yu-chan. I'll always miss your mom, having a boyfriend or girlfriend isn't going to change that." XX
"Yui said that Hiruka would be good for you, and I think she meant that if you were dating him, he would make you happier. And even if you'll never stop missing okaa-san, maybe you wouldn't get so sad about it anymore. You could move on." Yuki said, leaning into his side. "Are you saying I haven't moved on?" Yuki didn't answer him, and Yuta sighed. "Well, you're not wrong, I suppose." XX
The two switched to different topics during the meal, though Yuki still talked about Hiruka quite a bit. She talked about the people he worked with - Madoka, she said, had glorious hair - and about how Hiruka had done up her hair. I'll have to thank him the next time I see him, for trimming Yuki's hair for free. I wonder if he'd let me pay him back for it. In response to Yuki's exclamations about how much she liked Hiruka, Yutarou decided 'to hell with it' and joined in on the conversation, expressing his own admiration for the man. They gushed together over Hiruka's hair, and Yutarou actually went into the cliche of calling his eyes 'as beautiful as the golden morning sun'. He felt like a total dork after saying it, but Yuki agreed with him and went on to talk about how nice he was to all his customers. Aw man, I really have it bad for this guy... XXX
