Oliver held the phone a good distance away from his ear. He was sick of having this conversation with his mother. By now, he could probably recite the conversation word be word from heart.
"No, mother, I don't want a wife."
"I could make get a match maker. One of my friend's says that there's a very nice one who set her daughter up with a very nice man. You could be engaged by next week."
"No, I don't want a fiancé either."
"Then at least let me call a few friends, one of them must have a nice daughter you can date if you'd prefer to go through the motions."
"No, I'd prefer not to have a girlfriend."
He rubbed the bridge of his nose; she'd never learn would she? She'd end up nagging him into an early grave. Plus, why would he want to become tied down by a woman so early in his life. He was only 23. His mother was only paranoid, paranoid and anxious. Anxious to see him "grow up and settle down and stop with that ridiculous bachelor lifestyle in general. And for god's sake, do you want people to think you're in a relationship with Lin? No? Then just get a girlfriend already!"
As if. Naru enjoyed his lifestyle: his ability to do as he pleased in his apartment, to do as he pleased in any situation. Getting into any sort of relationship would ruin his independence; it'd be twice the work without the satisfaction.
If only there was some way to get his mother to stop bothering him about such ridiculous things.
This is just an idea I got for an AU fic while watching Coffee Prince.
I really need to stop starting fics and finish them for once, as always reviews are amazing~
