Im writing the part that clamp put in so you know how it starts (adding of course details to let you know their expressions) so enjoy!
Family Frills
I couldn't help but sigh. I set my book on my stretched out knee, my back up against the pillow of the couch. I looked down at my wrist watch five o'clock. Where was that dork. I lifted my book up to keep reading when i heard the front door open.
"Dad?" i called placing my book on the table beside the couch as i pushed myself up from the couch and headed to the front door.
The living room led off in to two hallways and the dinning room. One hallway going to a set of stairs and a few rooms while another went to the front door. From the front door you could go to the kitchen or down the small hall way to the living room.
Sqwating down before the single wooden setp was that man who worked all day and had decided to come home late for some reason. He was taking off a nice pair of black shoes. He was dressed in a turtle neck black shirt and a pair of tight jeans. His glasses lay snuggly on the brim of his nose and his blond hair fell in front of his face. He looked up at tht sound of my socked feat on the wood. He looked up at me.
Black pants, red chinese shirt, simple attire for me (Well i had only been lounging around today, it was saturday after all). My own blond hair fell in front of part of my own face.
"Kazahaya, hey sorry Daddy's late!" he said giving me a small smile "I had more work than i thought today!"
"Yeah sure! I bet owning and running a bakery requires you to work extra hours four nights in a row!"
My dad gave a small laugh.
"Well we are helping to host a wedding this weekend you know?"
"Yeah I know but that doesn't mean you have to come home so late! I didn't even make dinner yet 'cause i didn't know when you were going to be getting your butt home!"
"Now Kazahaya don't talk that way to your daddy! I've had a long day!"
"Aha! Okay well any way I'll start on dinner right now! How does fried rice and chicken sound?" I turned to the right and headed tourds the kitchen from the front door. I opened the fridge to see what else we had, i was starving. Could i be growing again?
"I could maybe also make some brocali (sp?)! That sound good to you dad?"
"Sure but umm, I was acctualy thinking we could go out for dinner tonight!" the taller blond said scratching the back of his head.
I stared at him astounded but instently put the brocali in my hands back in to the fridge.
"Go out to dinner?" i asked the shock obvious in my voice "I really don't wanna ruine this wonderful suprise but why?"
He gave a small, nervouse smile.
"I mean it's not a holiday or birthday! I'm not trying to jinx it. I defenetly want to go out for dinner!"
"Alright so stop jinxing it or we might not!"
"But why tonight suddenly?" I asked again as we headed back in to the small opened space in front of the door way. My dad slipping in to a pair of sneakers this time. "You could have kept your other shoes on if we were going to go out to dinner!" I muttered to him since he wasn't answering me.
I slipped on a pair of black convers i had bought when i had staied with my mom in America.
"Son," my dad finally said standing up. I finished tying my right shoe and began to put on the other one.
"What is it dad?" I said as i began to tie it up. i was almost done when my dad continued.
"I'm thinking of getting remarried."
I looked up at my dad as i finished tying my shoe. At first i didn't know what to say and he obviously noticed the blank look on my face so i quickly jumpped up and clapped my hands together.
"That's good for you! You're still young enough to sow some oats dad. I'm happy for you!"
My dad sighed with relife a small smile embeding his lips.
"Thanks! Then would you mind if I introduce you to," he turned away from me opening up the front door and motioning for somone out side to come forward. "you're future mother?"
"Wha?! She's hear already?!" i felt the light sweet that was begining along the hair line of my forehead.
"Come on in!" My dad said as someone pretty big to be a girl began to come out of the darkness in to the light of the doorway.
My first impression. The person was tall, dark, okay on the eyes, and had really, really broad shoulders. I couldn't help but just stare at the person for a long time he seemed to be glitering.
"Hey there!" the person said in a deep voice as he waved at us. "Is this your boy Kakei?"
I turned slowly to my dad as the bigger person put his hadn around my dad's shoulders. His black hair falling over his paled face and the dark sunglasses that covered his eyes.
"Jeez, dad, don't you think this chick's a bit...manly?!"
"Kazahaya," my dad said placing an arm around the guy's waiste. His black jacket was over a grey long sleeve shirt and his pants were a baggy black pair similar to my own. "I was hoping you'd call me "mom" from now on?" my dad said with a small nervous smile. "Because, actually, he'll be dad."
"I almost fell backwards on my ass. In fact i did. I stared up at the huge guy with his hand around my dad's shoulders. And my dad's, my dad's, hand around the man's waiste.
The taller guy laughed.
"What a sissy boy you have Kakei!" my dad jabbed him in the ribs with his elbow. The other man flinched a bit but smiled.
"The great this is," my dad said still smiling nervously at me "your new dad also has a son about your age."
This made me stand straight up on my knees. Arms in front of me ready to strangle the air.
"All of a sudden I've got a brother too?! And the same age?!"
I felt something bump against me. I fell forward. I was pissed off and didn't need some robber or something popping up behind me.
"Watch where youre fri..." i stood up and turned around and was instantly shut up. The guy was at least a foot taller than me! He had black cut hair thats bangs hung loosly around his forehead. He wore a brown jacket and a black t-shirt underneath (what the hell was with everyone wearing black?) and a pair of black pants that were tight up to the knees and pulled out around his black socket feet. A pair of forteen and a half or bigger tennishoes in one of his huge hands, HUGE!
"Uhm," my dad behind me said as i continued to stare at the huge guy in front of me "meet your new sibling...Rikuo."
'HE'S HUGE!!' I thought to myself as i felt my whole five feet one and a half inches shrink back a bit.
He reached out his free hand as i was still looking at his huge face. I felt him press against my chest. I looked down and felt my arms go up instinctivly in to the air. He brought his hand away and i grabbed my chest and fell in to the wall as he went to walk around me.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING, YOU FREAK?!" I found myself yelling. 'I can't belive this guy!'
"Weird." i heard him say looking at his hand that had touched my, obviously flat chest. "He really is a dude."
"WHAT?!" i had yelled before i could stop myself. My dad and...my other dad? Looked at me My dad obviously concerned because he still had that nervous little smile and his eyes looked at me as if he was pleading for my bleasing or something.
"Since we're all getting to know one another," the big guy, i guess dad #2 at the moment, said to the FREAK "meet your new mother."
"Hello." my father said a bit timadly with a small bob of the head. The big guy's, dad #2...at moment, hand still around my dad's shoulders.
"DON'T BE SO TRUSTING!! Be a little cautious would ya!?" i found myself yelling to my dad, as he just stood their smiling wanting the big guy, Rikuo? (or something like that) to give him some sort of approval. He recived it in the stranges fashion.
"Hey mom," Rikuo said, obviously to my father, "just remember i really bento(1)."
My dad smiled at being accepted by the big raven haired, in my eyes, jerk. I was in over my head right now, usually i tried to be quiet, assirtive, compramisable and controlling of my mouth and what i thought. But right now...right now i didn't really know what to think. I was just reacting. I mean how would you feel if you just found out your dad's been dating a big gorilla guy behind your back and they were ging to get married...or whatever they could do. (And please don't tell me you'd act like gorilla Jr.!)
"Dad," i looked at himcalming down. I was trying to plead, and show him my confusion through my eyes. I wanted to talk to him alone, to get everything straightened out.
My dad came over to me so that Rikuo and his own dad could continue their conversation.
"Be reasonable Kazahaya, It's too complicated if w're both fathers. Don't worry i wont play favorites when I make the bento."
He was making a joke out of it. He had seriously just made a joke out of it. He went from being nervous about my reaction to probing jokes in my face about something that was confusing me greatly. I snapped. I couldn't help it i yelled at him, which i usually didn't do.
"How," i began calmly my dad waiting to listen the two guys behind us turning to look at us. I didn't know if they both sensed the tention as they looked at me and my dad standing side ways in the hallway. The side wher my hair covered my face showing to them and my dad's opened face side showed to them. "tell me HOW THE HELL DOES YOU SWITCHING FROM BEING MY DAD TO MY MOM MAKE THINGS LESS COMPLICATED?"
The guy who moments ago had had his hand around my dad's shoulders laughed and took my anger as a joke, he obviously hadn't sensed the tention that had been building up around me.
"Ah, ha, ha! Now i've got two rambunctious boys in the house!"
I glared at him. Wishing they'd both disappear.
I didn't notice but Rikou was looking at me. His eyes looking at the glare i was giving his father.
I heard him sigh and rub his hair out of his face from his forehead. I turned my golden eyes still narrowed in to that glare.
"Aw, shut up..." he told his dad before walking over to me and picking me up at the waiste as he walked by. (AN: this is where cla,ps stops with the line: Aw shut up)
"Hey!!" he lifted me with ease to sit under his shoulder and between his waiste. I began to flaiel my hands and legs out to get him to let me go.
"Why don't you two love sick men go get us starving boys some food while Kazahaya show's me around the place" he said motioning to the living room, we were standing now at the end of the short hallway and the begining of the living room.
Our dad's nodded in agreement and Rikou's dad offered his elbow to my father with a smile.
"Shall we my lady?" he asked my dad who gave him a smile before looking back at me nervously. I stopped flaling for a second and glared at him. My feet were dangling in the air still about six inches from the floor. My hands pressed against the back of Rikou's waist and elbow.
"Sure." he said after a minute taking the guy's elbow like frickin princess. I lost it. Again I lost it i don't know why i just did.
"You frickin basterd!" the two men stopped in the door way "You drop a bomb shell on me like this as if it was nothing!" I began to flail around in Rikuo's stron hold. My hair flaling about my face."You and mom are the frickin same!" I felt his tension and his saddness at my rejection, but at mostly my words.
I didn't like hurting him but they had pushed me through to much. I frowned at the ground as my limbs went limp. Once again i let my feet dangle. One of my hands was tightening against Rikuo's wrist the other one holding me up against his waist. I didn't notice but he was staring down at me. My hair was in my face now so no one could see my face. My dad couldn't see my face but i knew his. I saw his eyes droop and his head hang down a bit. I began to pull myself together as i realized what i'd just said, done, the way i had acted.
"Dad," my dad turned his head a bit so his ear could catch what i was going to say though he tensed ready for another hit. I heard his hair move as his head turned and i felt the man beside him look at him suportadly and caringly, as if trying to give him strength. I also felt Rikuo's eyes on me.
"I'm sorry! " I said plain and simple. I felt my dad's smile as i felt the grife tighten around him. "Dad," i looked up this time and told myself in my head smile! Eyes, lips, checks, put on a smile and apologize. "I trully am sorry! I've just been really riled up today! Trixi and i just broke up,"
'what kinda excuse is that?' I yelled at myself mentally as i tried really hard to sound convincing to my dad.
"I have finals starting tomorrow and well," i hung my head with an embarassed kinda smile that my dad hadn't seen since i through a tantrum at age 8 and realized how babish i was being "I really missed hanging out with you in the evenings! Studying, video game," (which i only played with my dad) "eating dinner and talking! You've been working late a lot and i thought we told each other everything so I really wasn't expecting for you to drop such a nut shell!"
I felt my father's guilt come up a bit but with it i sensed his relife. When you lived with a single parent you got to sense how they were feeling. If i had to make him a bit guilty to fix this it was fine with me as long as he'd be happy.
"I know that's selfish of me. And I'm sorry!" I hung my head a bit before looking back up at him and returning the regular father son tone i usually carried with my father. The one where we were on equal footing (AN: don't try it with your parents it may not work! :D lol). "hey but you did drop a newclear war head on me you know?" i gave him that it is kinda your fault look and scrunch of the eyebrows. "I mean yeah i've been waiting for you to tell me you got a girlfriend but...let's just say the key word was girlfriend kay?"
"So you don't like the idea of your beloved daddy being gay?" the man beside my dad turned bringing my dad in to a huge hug. He was trying to lighten the mood a bit and get me to be, as he refurs to it, as a normal rambunctious boy with lot of energy and emotion that spills over. He seemed to like when i yelled because i was getting frustrations out.
I sighed i was not going to comply and once again lower myself to unneeded yelling.
"It's not that i mind," i said trying to lift myself up a bit more in Rikou's arms "it's more that i never expected it and it was to randome and sudden!"
"Aha!" he said "Homophobic boy!"
"No, no i am not homophobic!" i said deffending that i wasn't.
"Or maybe you're a homosexuale guy?" he asked teasingly as he turned to leave with my dad arms wrapped around him.
"I am not!" i defended, a bit to loud.
He smiled and chuckled.
"Well your one of the two! You get to de-fen-sive over the sub-jec-t!" he sang as the door began to shut.
"Do not!" i yelled at him. To late the door had closed. "Jerk!" i whispered more to myself than anyone.
"Thats my dad for you!" i heard the big booming voice above my head.
'Oh shit!' I thought to myself turning my head up to find that Rikou wasn't looking at me any more but at the living room 'Jumbo Jr.'s still hear!'
He began to walk in to the living room and stopped in the middle of it to lok around. Not breaking a sweat from carrying me as he did so.
'Well, he may still be here but i guess i kinda owe him for getting those two out of here before i exploded with exess energy from being inside the last day and a half.'
"Umm..." i finally managed after a few minutes of silence and jumbo scouting out the area. "thanks for you know, getting them out of here and all."
He stared down at me with his big brown eyes. I felt them on the back of my head as i wished i could curl up and dissapear.
"It's fine!"
Thats all he said. Anotehr few minutes passed by.
"Uhhh..." I looked up at the big guy. He looked back down at me.
"Oh." he said before flinging me to the black velvet couch me and my dad had both sprung for.
"Ouch." i muttered as i rubbed the back of my foot. I had caught it on the hard end piece and it didn't hurt that bad.
"You okay?" Rikou asked his eyes not stopping to look at him but continuing to look around the room he was in. Seeming to absorb it.
"Just fine." I muttere as I began to grow upset with myself for not just my behavior but complaint at such a small thing as a bump.
"So you'r dad never told you about him and my dad, huh?" he said sitting next to me and looking at me for the first time since he had flung me to the couch. I guessed he had finished barring out his setings.
"Yeah." i muttered as i pulled my legs up to my chest and found myself barring my face in them. I usually didn't do this around strangers but i was confused at the sudden occurence and strangness of the situation of my family.
"I'm sorry."
I couldn't help but look up at this big, huge...freak. He rested his back against the couch. He set down his over sized shoes next to the couch and set his arm on the arm rest looking at our tv.
"My dad told me everything so i kinda figured you knew! I guess your dad works a bit differently huh?" he returned his choclate eyes on me to find my golden eyes staring at him still with that suprised gawck.
"What?" he asked not understanding the gawck in my eyes.
"Well it's just when you said 'I'm sorry' i wa..." I stopped realizing how rude of me this was. Judging people before knowing them.
"What?" he asked sitting up. Bringing one of his knees on to the black velvet so he could turn and face me better.
"Well," i said continuing since i'd already started "you just don't look like the type of guy who would say 'I'm sorry'."
He smirked.
"And you'd be right."
I rolled my eyes as the tall guy suddenly stood up. My eyes stopped in mid roll and watched him rise. He stretched his arms out as if he'd been siting there a while and returned his eyes to me again as his arms came down over his head.
"Show me the rest of the house shorty!"
I glared at him at being called 'shorty'.
'Just because he's a giant doesn't mean he should be able to call me shorty!' i thought to myself.
"Let's go!" he ordered pulling me up. "Show me the rest of our new home!"
'This is going to be so much fun.' I thought as i pulled my arm away and turned walking down the hallway to the stair case and other rooms.
I didn't catch the smirk Rikuo gave me as i walked my back to him. I glanced back to see he had returned his hands to the back of his head, linking the fingers. His eyes looking up from something to meat mine as a small smile spread across his face. I turned back around opening the first door before the stairs.
A bathroom, the next was a closet and tehn a back door that lay open.
'His entry!' i thought as i quickly ran across the grey carpeting leading to the door and then against the dark wooden floor. I close the door so that no more cold air would come in. I went back to the first door to see him still smirking. I glared at him a bit and his evil little smirk changed in to an inocent smile.
'He's a devil!'
