A/N:
I thought it would be interesting to have fem Hibiya in this story.
Okay, so lately I've been playing the game The Sims 3 a lot, and I've been playing an expansion pack (which I had never played before) called Late Night. I had thought it would be interesting to create Delic and a fem Hibiya sim in this game. One day I was struck with the idea to write a story of them in the city from the game. I thought it would be very interesting. I am still working on my other fics. It may seem clear that I like unusual crossovers.
This is inspired by my game with these sims in The Sims game, but it is not entirely based off the Sims game. Like, I have some details the same, but I have added more plot. After all, The Sims can be pretty plotless at times.
Knowledge of The Sims, The Sims 3, or The Sims 3: Late Night are not necessarily required to enjoy/understand this story. I am writing this as a story and not just a recount of the game I am playing. Plus, any Sims-related features in it I explain in the story since the main characters are new to everything as well. Those who do know the Sims will likely be able to see how I am making fun of the game as well. (Don't get me wrong, I love playing this game, but there is a lot to make fun of tbh). I am trying to write this in a way that it makes sense to those who don't know the game, but please do let me know if you have any questions about anything. Please let me know what you think. This should be fun.
"You're seriously considering this?"
"Based on what Izaya says, it sounds like the chance of a lifetime Chibiya."
Hibiya pursed her lips in uncertainty at the nickname but didn't want to lose track of what they were talking about.
"Are you really going to trust anything my cousin says?"
"Look, I know Izaya isn't the most trustworthy person, but when it comes to information he's pretty reliable."
Delic had asked Hibiya to come over so that they could discuss something. Of course, Hibiya was not expecting Delic considering moving to another city all the sudden to pursue a music career. Recently Izaya had casually brought up in conversation to Delic that a city known as Bridgeport was known for turning ordinary dreamers into stars. These dreamers typically consisted of fresh actors and musicians. There were supposedly a lot of good agents and celebrities who live there. Not to mention that supposedly getting a job in the music career there is easy, even if it's starting out as something simple. Bridgeport was known as a great place for future stars to get their start and make it big.
Delic has worked as a host in Shinjuku for a while and has never seemed to have an issue with this occupation. However, it was no secret to those who knew him that his true love was not hosting, but music. He loved singing to his clients, to his coworkers, friends, and to Hibiya of course. Singing was his favorite, although he enjoyed playing other instruments as well. During his free time, he could often be heard singing and playing some sort of instrument. One of his favorites was the keyboard/piano. And he was very talented as well. The lovely melodies that would flow from his lips were often described as sounding angelic. Along with the magical sounds that would come from the instruments that he played. Anything musical seemed to come naturally to him. Not to mention that he would practice a lot as well.
Hibiya had no problem with her boyfriend's love for music, of course. After all, his serenades to her were part of why she had finally considered going out with him. The man had a way with melodic words. She just found it suspicious that Izaya would bring up this opportunity of a lifetime randomly out of nowhere without anyone asking for it. She knew her cousin well enough to be suspicious of the favor.
"Yes, but the information he might be leaving out could be the problem. Not to mention he's offered to pay for your transportation to get there and the apartment you'll be living in there."
"Well, he's not just offering it, he wants me to confirm whether what he's heard about the city is accurate. Like, an information exchange while at the same time I'm getting this huge chance for my music career."
"Since when has Izaya ever desired to confirm if his information is accurate? He's pretty confident in his own abilities."
Hibiya felt like Delic's excitement over the possibility of living his dream was keeping him from seeing why this could be a bad idea.
"Not to mention his worst enemy is your cousin. How do you know he's not trying to screw you over for that reason alone?"
"Despite how much Shizuo and he hate each other, Izaya and I have usually gotten along fairly well. I don't think he would do that to me."
"That doesn't mean anything! You know how good of a pretender Izaya is. How do you know he wasn't trying to- "?
"Hibiya."
Hibiya paused, thrown off by the sudden serious look Delic was giving her.
"It's not like I don't realize there are risks involved. I just feel like I should take this chance. But I knew I had to tell you first before making any trip arrangements. If you really disapprove of me going, Hibiya, I won't go. We are a couple now. I won't make a big decision like this without you because I know this will affect you too. Especially because of how far it is and that means we would not see each other as much. Just let me know if you don't want me to go."
Hibiya bit her lips at that and glanced away as she considered what he said. Truthfully, she was very torn. She really didn't want him to go, but at the same time, since she did care about him, she didn't want to get in the way of his dreams. Hosting had never been a let down for Delic, but he never had that excited spark in his eyes when he talked about hosting compared to like he did in that moment talking about a chance in the music career.
She tried to prolong giving a decision yet.
"The city sounds strange as well. Why would there be a city in Japan that is known for having a lot of Americans and other westerners? Is it like some sort of tourist trap?"
"You ever heard of Chinatown in California? I figured it's kind of like that."
Delic was the first-person Hibiya had ever fallen for and she still had trouble admitting at times just how much she liked him. Hibiya had good reasons to be wary though. Delic was a player. She had known by his well-known reputation that he was always flirting and sleeping around with (mostly) other girls. When they first met, through cousins who got along very well, Delic immediately flirted with Hibiya. Having heard about his reputation, Hibiya rejected his advances and continued to do so. Although, she usually had difficulty to keeping the blush off her cheeks from his attempts. Delic was very blunt and smooth with his advances.
Hibiya has always appreciated hearing compliments about herself, but Delic was the first to have ever flirted with her though. At least, the first who she found attractive. To be the victim of such strong and persistent advances left her unsure of how to deal with them. She would often feel a mix of embarrassment, anger, flattery, and confusion. His reputation along with these very forward advances made her very cautious, especially since she had no experience with flirtations or anything in the romance department. Truthfully, she had been nervous. She did not want to have her heart broken, so she would protect herself by being guarded against his advances. One thing she did notice however, is that although she had seen him flirt with many others, as soon as he would notice her, his attention would always be on only her. If she was in the room, he would only flirt with her.
It was noticing this that finally lead her to accept his invitation to go out on a date. It may seem surprising that they dated nonexclusively for a while. Not that Hibiya approved of that, but she knew Delic was a player. She knew that Delic would be with other girls during this period. It was like that until one day, after attempting to contain her jealousy for a while, she had blurted out that she wanted them to be boyfriend and girlfriend. At first, she was embarrassed that she blurted that out and tried to act like she didn't mean to say that. However, along with looking shocked, Delic also seemed very happy that she said that.
He asked her if she really wanted that, and when she reluctantly admitted it, he lifted her up and spun her around in glee, saying he would love for them to be an official couple. She made him swear that he would not be with anyone else since they were a couple now, and he promised to stay loyal to her alone. That's how they became a couple. She knew he did on occasion flirt with others, or at least she had the suspicion of that, but it never went any further. He had kept his promise and stayed loyal to her ever since. Not to say she didn't still check on him though. She knew this to be true mainly from having others keep tabs on him. Like Psyche since he is one of Delic's best friends, and Shitsuo since he is the family butler (who must do what Hibiya says). They both confirm consistently that Delic remains loyal to her.
To be perfectly honest, she thought that they were changing each other. Delic was helping Hibiya to come out of her shell more, and Delic would be more conservative with showing his affection for Hibiya…well, to a certain extent at least.
"How long do you have to decide about this?"
"I don't really have a time limit technically. So, you can take as long as you need to think about it."
"Hmm, have you already picked out where you would want to live?"
"I did have my eye on some nice apartments, I'm not sure how much they would be desired though, so I don't know how long I would have until someone else tried to buy it."
"Hmm, I see. Well, we might as well start packing now."
"Hah?"
Hibiya looked away and couldn't hide her blush.
"I mean, if you're this excited, I'm sure you'll be annoying about it until I decide what I want you to do. Plus, it might affect your work performance. Not that I care if those stupid girls don't get their proper doting."
"Wait, Hibiya, are you saying you want to come with me?"
"Well, I mean, how else am I going to make sure you're not getting too close to some of the girls in this other city that is hours away?" Hibiya claimed, still not looking at him. That was only partly why she wanted to come with him. She honestly just couldn't bare being parted from him, especially for so long and at such a great a distance.
"Plus nobody tends to my greatest needs like you do, so it would be weird without you being here. And if your concern is over the fact that Izaya is already paying for an apartment for you, I can always just share with you. I mean, it would probably be easier that way." Hibiya was finding it harder to look at Delic as she was saying this. She started fiddling with her gloves and attempted to appear nonchalant while sharing these embarrassing requests.
"Chibiya."
Delic gently grabbed her shoulders, and then used one hand to grab her chin to turn her face to face him so she had to look at him.
"Are you sure about this? I mean, this is a big step. Not just moving in together, moving to another city together that's three hours from where we are currently living. That's a big change, for both of us. I mean, I consider myself fairly good at adapting to different situations, but I know you've lived in a mansion close to here your entire life and that you're used to servants tending to your needs all the time. Don't get me wrong, I would love to have you in Bridgeport with me. I just want to make sure you realize what this really means for us if you come with me."
Hibiya was struggling to not glance away so she could show him she was serious. She knew this was going to be a big change for the both of them. He brought up good reasons to think about this more. It was going to be a lot to get used to, especially for someone like herself. Yet, she couldn't bring herself to regret the decision to go with him.
"Like I could really stand to be far from you, you dumb plebian."
Delic's eyes widened at that. He had thought she was going to try to talk him out of going to be completely honest. He really didn't expect Hibiya to suggest going with him to Bridgeport and living together. He was beyond thrilled though that he was getting the okay to pursue his dream. Not to mention how this showed how their relationship had progressed if she was suggesting this.
He smiled brightly before wrapping his arms around her and spinning in excitement.
Hibiya squeaked from unexpectedly being lifted and spun around. She complained about it yet couldn't help how her face got even redder.
When he finally stopped Hibiya barely had a second to compose herself before his lips were on hers. Delic's velvety lips cascaded over her own. He was very gifted at making her melt from simply moving his lips against hers. One of his hands slid to comb his fingers into her hair while the other gently cupped her cheek. His lips were moving against hers so rapidly and passionately. As defensive as Hibiya would get when Delic was being embarrassing towards her, the one time she could never compose herself was usually when he was kissing her. She always melted right away. Even though submitting so easily to this type of physical affection might seem like it would embarrass her, she could never find herself regretting it. Delic never had a problem with this either of course.
He was pouring his excitement and affection into her, as he held her against him while they kissed. After a bit he pulled away, and they were both panting heavily. Hibiya still felt warm and dazed, like she always did every time they kissed. That has never changed.
He was gazing at her then with such happiness and affection, that she felt her blush grow even more. After a moment of neither saying anything, he finally said,
"You realize that I won't be able to dote on you as much as before while we are living there, right?"
Hibiya pouted.
"Yes, I am aware. No doubt you will be busy working towards your music career. However, I still desire to go with you."
"Okay Hibiya. I'm happy you're going with me. I just wanted to make sure you realized how big of a change this is going to be for us. This will be exciting for us both, though. You'll see. We'll make sure of it."
He hugged her tightly then, and Hibiya couldn't help a small smile that he probably didn't see. Clearly, she was still nervous about this, but seeing his reactions were making it worth it. Not that he would know that though. As much as she cared about him, it was still hard for her to admit to him things like wanting to see him happy. She also tried to convince herself that his excitement wasn't from an implication that typically comes from a couple moving in together.
