Making babies
Chapter 1 : The Beginning
Today was no difference for Renge Houshakouji and Hikaru Hitachiin. It had been 2 months for them getting married. Why there was no other reasons for them to do so except for financial business. Hitachiin Cooperations had agreed to bound a strong relationship with Houshakouji Cooperations by marrying their heir.
And they had no other decision but accepted.
So it happened. For the first time they arrived in this big mansion of theirs,everything was alright. But after 3 days they lived together, chaos happened. There was no day without fighting between them.
And so was today.
Today was actually a refreshing day. There was only silence, before a second later there were annoying footsteps heard from upstairs.
"What the hell, Renge! You do know this is the day when your parents pay a visit don't you!" Hikaru grumbled while grabbing a jacket. He came down abruptly, waiting Renge for moving aside.
"Of course, silly! This is my parents we're talking about!" Renge snapped, turned so now facing him.
"Move, Otaku." He hissed, pushing Renge away from his eyes. He walked toward a carved-dining table and grabbed a cup of coffee."So what time did they say they are coming by?"
Renge looked at the Britanian clock,"Around 08.15."
Silence.
Still silence.
"...Do you think they will mind finding us in this messy appearance?" Hikaru looked at his usual black t-shirt and dark-red boxer.
"No, I don't think they will." She answered after thinking a while."Besides, even if they do, there's really nothing we can do since it's about time they arr—"
Knock! Knock! Knock!
"—ived.." she sighed in defeat. "I don't think Mother and Father will be this on time.." she mumbled before walking towards the main huge door.
"...Next time they pay a visit, make sure you wake up 30 minutes earlier," he said in a menacing tone. He too followed Renge.
Renge rolled her eyes sarcastically. "Ha, like you'd do the same," she grabbed the knob,"If I remember correctly, this cheesy incidents had happened last month during your parent's turn for visiting us,"
He was about to retort,"Shut u—" when Renge opened the door, revealing their form and her parent's faces in view.
"Good morning, Mother! How are you doing?" she asked in chipper tone while moving aside, giving way to her parents. Hikaru was doing so.
"Good day to you two." Renge's mother answered, before she and her husband sat in a very enormous golden couch."How was your sleep, Renge?" this time, her father asked her. Renge and Hikaru sat in the opposite of them.
"Quite good if you ask me, except some certain incidents which happened last night," she muttered the last sentence in a low voice, while all the way looked Hikaru who was sitting beside her in threatening gaze. Realizing that Hikaru grinned devilishly.
"Ah, I see what you meant. It must be nice for now onward you two will be doing that every nights," her Mother smiled knowingly, with hopeful shines in her eyes.
"Ha..?" Hikaru and Renge said in unison. Hikaru barely held himself for masking a mocking face, while Renge all the way tried to explain it to her parents,"No, mother. That's not what I meant by 'incidents'—"
"No, no it's alright. You two do not need to conceal it from us. We understand," her father laughed."By the way, why do you guys still wear that clothes? Don't tell me you have awoken late?"
"My apologies, ma'am. I actually had set my alarm 30 minutes earlier but a certain girl had turned it off.." he answered politely while giving them smile,hiding an annoying tone.
"Wait! It's not my fault for turning it off!" Renge snapped."Anyone who was barely catching their soul in the dawn surely do not understand by the meaning,'Renge..the alarm,' you spoke so sudden!"
"Hey, I asked you to turn it off and wake up, not turning it off and get back to sleep!"
"And how am I supposed to know what you meant while you didn't speak a complete sentence?"
It was then her parents gave them a little cough to remind them that they were still there.
Renge looked to their parents. Her face still showed some silly angers. Hikaru who was now trying to behave normally only bit his lips."Sorry..it's kinda a bad mood today so err—"
"Yeah, it's just... A morning-sickness, really," Renge winced, for calming her parents.
Hearing that her parents opened their mouth widely and Renge could only swear for seeing the shining hopes in their blue eyes ,"Really..? A morning-sickness..? When was it started?"
"Ngg..today..?" Hikaru answered her Mother's question. By now Renge was like being hit by a light-storm when she finally understood what her mother's meaning."What? Mother it's not like that! Really!"
Her father huffed."You mean you aren't pregnant?"
This time Hikaru turned his head frantically, doing the same movements as Renge's."Of course NO!" 'Like Hell I wanna have babies with her..' he muttered under his breath.
But Renge's ears caught his words clearly.'The same line goes to you too..'
Hikaru snorted, not caring the fact that his fiancée's parents were watching them.
-o0o-
"Hikaru, tell me you know why we're doing this?"
"I do,"
"And would you please remind me again?"
Hikaru sighed."This is our weekend event as a couple. We're going out, strenghten our bonds, aaand..try to make it alive as a family," he was like giving speech. Memorized each words as exactly as the original speech.
"And whose idea is it?"
"My parents'. " He answered boringly."Why Renge? Do you have anything better to do?" he looked at her form. "Nope, not even a plan." She shook her head lazily before continued,"But what are we gonna do here? Having picnic?" she rolled her eyes mockingly."Really, of all places you choose here.." she sighed.
"Hmm..I have no idea at all," he looked up at the sky, like he could find any answers from there. Renge huffed, Great. Now not only we'll look silly by walking across the park with each other's distance 3 metres away, we'll look even more pathetic with our oh-so-nowhere plans..
"I know!" he claimed, his face brightened."Why don't we rent a dog?"
...Silence.
Still gazing at her expectantly with shining eyes.
Still silence.
"...That's it? Just..rent a dog?"
"Yep." Hikaru said with a grin."I heard it's pretty popular among commoners. Don't you want to try it too?"
Renge needed some times to think over it before giving up."...I guess I'm in."
"Great!" he flashed her a mischivieous smile and turned to the person who rented dog."Now which dog do you choose?"
"I don't know anything about dogs, you choose." She turned too, watching over the person who held almost 12 dogs from Chihuahua until Rottweiler."...I think Tamaki's dog will be just fine. Is that type of dog's rented?"
"Hmm... I don't think so. Come on, let's choose others." he grabbed her by hand and walked slowly toward the old-man.
-o0o-
"Excuse me, sir. Is this Golden Retriever available?" Renge politely asked the man.
The man himself looked up only to see a beautiful blue-orbs were gazing onto them deeply."Of course, young lady. Anything available just for you." He grinned. His words almost made Hikaru choked on his own breath which soon slapped by Renge hard on the head.
"Tee-he-heee! Thank you!" she chimed happily."How much it cost for only an hour?"
"50 dollars, fair price."
"Here," Hikaru handed him a piece of dollar from his expensive wallet then grabbed the rope of Golden Retriever."What's his name?"
"He is Germany."
"We know that he is from German. What's his name?" Hikaru rubbed and burried his fingers onto the thick brown fur.
"I told you it's Germany."
"What—" Hikaru was starting to get pissed off before Renge interrupted them." Excuse me.. Is Germany his name? Not an origin?"
"Yeah...?" the man stared at them with confused look.
Renge then smiled victoriously toward this guy beside her who was muttering something 'Damn you old-man'. "Come on, Mr. Dumb-ass,let's walk this dog and see whether it was worth it or not," she giggled.
"Yeah, yeah.." he rolled his eyes while pulling the tie which circled around Germany's neck and guiding him to take some walks. Few minutes were filled with comforting silence until she heard him muttering," Hell, how was I supposed to know that Germany is his name?"
Renge looked up only to find his still pissed-off face. Seeing that, she giggled,"You're still thinking about what had happened aren't you?"
"Of course I am!" he grumbled."I looked so dumb you know.."
"Sure you are." She nodded in agreement.
Silence happened but unlike the situation they were used to have, it was rather...nice.
This time Renge was the one who broke the silence."This is kinda nice don't you think?"
"What do you mean?" he turned to her.
"This. Us..I mean, this is not like these 3 months. With our fighting and other bad things, it was just so uncomfortable around you,"
"Hey! I—" he was about to argue when she patted his head."Nah, nah. You'd better stay like this.." She smiled sweetly.
Hikaru was stunned. Never he ever seen her this way, smiling at him. He was about to compliment her when her sweet smile turned into devil one."...like a dog,"
He threw his gaze upon his other side."Just what was I dreaming for hoping you to say nice things to me..?"
-o0o-
They were walking in silence for a quite far distance when Hikaru handed her the tie."Here, you want to hold it."
"Wh-what?" she stammered. "What on earth do you think I want to hold that big thick fur thing?"
"You were staring at this 'big-thick-fur-thing' everytime I didn't notice with shining eyes." He turned away and snapped when she was going to deny,"Don't hide it."
Renge looked at her feet. Oh my God, he was catching me off-guard when I stared at Germany with hopeful eyes! She thought in embarassment. Finding there was no way she would avoid his question,"Okay.."
He handed her the rope rather fast,"Be hurry." When she had held the rope, she quickly found it quite heavy.
"Wow! It's so.. heavy," she said in amusement. She had to pull with more effort than she had expected.
"How does it feel?"
"I find it rather amusing,"
"Good. Just be careful not to—"
In that exactly moment, an Angora cat was walking down the street, right before their eyes.
"—catch any cat's attentions.." he sighed heavily, already knowing what was gonna happen."Too late,"
"What? But—"
Renge had her terrified look on her face,exchanged her gaze from Hikaru to the cat. It seemed that Germany didn't realize the presence of that white-cat, and Renge was trying her best to make him still.
But it didn't remain...until now.
Out of sudden Germany ran so damn fast toward the graceful cat, with Renge behind him pulled strongly and realized that germany was much stronger than her. She tried to let go of him but she just didn't have any time to pull out her grip on him, which caused her to stumble forward and lost her balance."He—heeeehhh?"
"Renge!" Hikaru reached out, hoping by a chance to catch her before Germany dragged her hard.
But it's too late. His fiancée had been dragged roughly by a certain BIG dog, and she didn't even stand. Here she was, with her front-part body and face first on the ground."Damn Renge! Just let go of him!"
"I-I can-t!" she answered hastily with shaking voice."My g-grip was tied too t-tight!"
"What?" he stopped on his track immediately. His face was showing unbelievable expression."Why did you have to tie it tightly in the first place?" Curiosty and unbelieveness was on his face
"It's because—" her face met a steep rock and it hurt her it left any blood traces on her cheek."Godness's sake, it hurts!" she cringed in pain."Hikaru why don't you save me first then I'll t-tell you why!"
"..Roger then," he stepped out from his path, and toward the grass where Germany 'played'."Geeez..Why does she have to be a gigantic pain in my ass all the time?" he muttered while rolling his eyes annoyingly.
He ran toward her and her dog saying different types of curses he could mutter. While they ran through a sharp turn Hikaru quickly made toward the end of it. He was planning to stand in the way of them.
200 metres.. Hikaru winced his eyes.
150 metres..he stretched his legs even further, making a preparation.
100 metres..he strengthen his grip. Hands facing his chest while he gave a quite spaces between his arms.
50 metres... he bent his crook of elbows, readying to catch the dog's rope.
And...GREB! With an unbelieveable speed, he caught the rope which was tied around Germany's neck, twisted the animal, and landed it on the ground rather harshly. 5 seconds later, the dog had finally stopped with his fiancée on the ground as well as the dog.
"You okay?" he hesitatedly asked, offering a hand to her. She caught it weakly. It seemed 'running' with Germany had drained her energy more than he'd expected."Yeah, it's just...My gaze's spinning, I can't even look at everything before my eyes, even your horrible face—" her words were cut as she fell to the ground. She was exhausted, and so she fainted.
Hikaru sighed, looking at the girl in his arms, lying motionless."Geez..why do you have to be a pain in my ass until the end?" He lifted his fiancée and left Germany there. He was about to put her into a bench when he saw the Dog Renter waved his hand toward them,"Hey there! Your girl's tired already?Just walking Germany actually put more efforts huh?"
As he put Renge into the bench, he turned slightly to the man. Muttering under his breath through gritted teeth, he sat on the bench in front of Renge's. "She is not my girlfriend," Which actually wasn't 'cause she was his fiancée. "And you know what? Your Germany had made us running not walking. He's not tame at all,"
"What? I can't hear you!" the man laughed, and walked away with Germany followed behind him.
Hikaru rolled his eyes, now eyeing his fiancée."...Really. I shouldn''t brought her here in the first place. If only I knew she will be this annoying creature," He sighed."Now what..?" he had nothing better to do. He didn't bring any of his books, not that he liked it anyway. The worst was, he didn't bring his i-pod.
-o0o-
She woke up 15 minutes later. The sunshine had shined her too much and she winced right away after opening her eyes. She slowly got up, with her palm facing the sun and leaned to her forehead, trying to prevent more lights.
"You've finally awoken, Sleeping Beauty. You've slept for a quite time," he said lazily. "Come on, let's go home,"
"Hikaru? You've been sitting there..all the time?"
"Yup. What do you think I was doing here beside watching your sleeping face? Not that I like it," he grunted, while muttering the last sentence."Come on, my back's sore already!"
She quickly stood with her feet on the ground, a little stumble over before finally being able to stand right.
They were walking in silence as the wind breezed slowly over their face. "What happened to...Germany?"
"Nothing. Just dragged by his owner. Perhaps the owner's aiming at our money, since I found out that the normal price would be a half-less of it. In fact, by looking at the Germany's strange behaviors, I'm pretty sure he wasn't even a tame animal to be taken to the park."
"Oh," was all she could say. Then there was silence. Renge could sense that he seemed annoyed, and pretty sure that he was rather mad at her. Of course, waiting a girl while she slept and doing nothing was just too boring for a boy who couldn't stand still without games.
"Hikaru," she called him hesitantly. "About today..thanks."
"I don't need your gratitude. I just need my big pillow, and a hot chocolate on my table."
"Okay, I'll make sure that Saechi made it!" she replied immediately. "Anything else?"
Hearing her so nervous made him almost laughed. 'So she felt guilty for making me wait for 15 minutes..' "Actually, there's one more thing I have to ask. But I'm not really sure you can do it.."
"Don't worry, just let me know!" she encouraged chipperly.
"Stay away from me."
-o0o-
The plan's working! He thought and snickered every time and then he remembered it. That sassy girl wasn't disturbing him by her annoying high pitch tone. Ah, what a heaven..
He only saw her going into their room to deliver a tray of lunch and a cup of hot-chocolate. But he pretended to sleep, so he wasn't really seeing her. And that was great! For the first time in his life he could enjoy a silence without any disturbances.
He could hear her whispered to him that she was going to shop in a downtown. He just replied by giving her a disturbed groan which was enough to make her sprinted toward the door hastily.
Night was coming.
Renge had been back 10 minutes ago and never ever once she got into their room. But he was sure that she didn't leave 'cause he could hear her laughs in the living room. To whom she was speaking? Hikaru grunted. He tried to sleep but then her laughs disturbed him more. Once again, curiosity bothered his mind. Decided to check who came to visit, he got up to his feet and grabbed a black jacket.
Once he was walking downstairs, he could pinpoint 'their' visitor although still blurry. Took one more step downstair, he could see him clearly.
Him. Kyoya Ootori.
