This was a Tumblr request.
It was peaceful night, at least until Seiya's phone disturbed the quiet. He lifted his head off the pillow with a groan. "Who the hell would be calling at this hour…" he muttered as he reached for the phone to look at the ID. "Michiru….." He considered ignoring the call, but what if something had happened to Haruka? He sighed, and brought the phone up to hisear. "Hello?"
"Seiya," Michiru began, obviously relieved. "I hope I didn't call at a bad time…"
"No. I was only sleeping."
"Sorry…but, I really, really need you to come see Haruka."
"It's one-thirty in the morning and it's raining…Is she dying or something?"
"Well, according to her she is…" Seiya sighed, and grabbed his shirt off the chair near his bed.
"I'll see you in twenty minutes."
"Thank you, Seiya. You have no idea how much I love you…"
"Yeah, yeah…" He grabbed a jacket from the closet, slipped his shoes on and he was out the door. The rain was still pouring. He hated driving in the rain, but at least the roads were relatively empty. He arrived in less time than he'd expected. There were lights turned on, on the first floor, and he was starting to genuinely worry something had happened. He was about to knock on the door, but Setsuna opened it before he had the chance.
"Hello, Seiya."
"Hi," he responded, with a forced smile. Setsuna's eyes never failed to send chills down his spine. He was tired and annoyed, but he'd never show it to Setsuna.
"Please come in," she said to him and stepped aside to let him in.
"Thanks," he mumbled, stepping past her. He set his shoes down by the door and walked over to the living room where a very tired-looking Michiru sat, a cup of coffee in her hand. She looked up at him with a slight smile. "Where is she?"
"In the guestroom." Seiya nodded, and nearly ran through the hall until he was in front of the door. He knocked. No response came. He knocked again.
"Go away," came the weary voice from behind the door.
"It's Seiya. I came all the way here in the rain to see you. Are you really going to make me stand out here, Windy?" Not ten seconds later, the door flung open, and the girl pulled him into a bone crushing hug. He winced. Even at four months pregnant, she was strong. He pulled away to look at her tear-stained face. "Back to bed, then you can me what's wrong," he said, closing the door behind him as she settled back into bed. He sat next to her, and brought his hand up to tenderly tuck a few golden strands of hair behind her ear. Her hair had gotten a lot longer since she'd gotten pregnant. "Are you and the baby alright?"
"Babies," she corrected softly. He raised an eye brow. "I'm having triplets." He stared in shock. Haruka had could barely handle the idea of carrying just one child, but triplets?
"T-that's wonderful!" But the girl glared at him.
"Do you have any idea how hard this is going to be for me?!" Seiya kept staring, afraid of saying the wrong thing and upsetting her further. "They even put me on bed rest! And then Michiru and Setsuna made me move into this room!" And suddenly she was crying. Seiya had become accustomed to the tears, and calmly wrapped his arms around her, pulling her close.
"Well, Michiru and Setsuna just don't want you to get yourself killed. I don't want that either, and we both know how stubborn you can be. You need to stay away from those stairs." Haruka scowled, making Seiya chuckle. "But don't worry. Everyone is here to help, and I'll come see you every day. We'll play video games, and watch movies. It'll be great and maybe I can even sneak some ice cream and chocolate past Michiru." Haruka smiled up at him.
"Promise?"
"I promise."
