Wellll, this is my first (certainly not last) KWMS FanFic! I hope y'all enjoy! I love writing FF, and comments are wonderful things, my lovelies!
Leave me a comment if you like- This is a two-shot, and reviews/follows/favorites are excellent and effective methods of motivation for updates!
Enjoy~~~
(BTW- In case there is confusion over this- I'm not Hiro Fujiwara, therefore I DO (not) OWN MAID-SAMA!)
AUAnnie - For a (Fangirl's) Ship To Leave Port
"Hey prez, do you have any plans this summer?"
"Hmmm… I think that mom's condition is stable enough for us to go on our family hike this summer, but that's not for a couple of weeks… Otherwise I'm just working extra shifts for Satsuki while she's at the beach with her sister. You?"
As he ponders the question, he plays with my fingers. It took me a couple of years to get used to his need for physical contact without blushing, but after all this time I find myself seeking his touch as well. "I don't have any plans that don't include my Misa-chan, so you don't have to be jealous." I can feel the smirk on his face, the perverted alien…
"Dumb alien, I don't care what you do, or where you do it. I only care that you're back in time for our last year of grad school." He acknowledges the statement by squeezing my hand and simply pulling me closer. Perverted alien…
I am serious about him being back for school- He's currently the top of his class in medical school, and he doesn't need to miss class for something like vacation… Unless of course I'm there… 'WHAT ARE YOU THINKING MISAKI?! OF COURSE YOU WOULD CARE! AND YOU HAVE LAW SCHOOL TO COMPLETE!'
The rest of our walk back to the house is spent in comfortable silence, as I think about my issues and creepy obsession with the alien. I insisted that he didn't have to walk me home from work, but as always he insisted that he wants to. Not that I mind the 20 minutes alone with my boyfriend…
As we approach my house, I notice something extremely odd- my mother is sitting on our porch doing something. I have to wait until we are closer to distinguish what she is doing, and to my surprise, she's cutting bunny apples… How odd…
"Mom? What are you doing out? You could catch a cold!" 'Or worse, you could invite the alien inside…' She waves me off, and smiles, greeting Usui.
Tch. Mothers.
"Usui-kun! How have you been? It's been ages since Misaki has brought you over for dinner-"
"Mom, Usui has things to do this evening, right Usui?" I give him my best warning glare, though it's not enough to deter the alien.
"Actually, I have nothing to do tonight, or all summer, Ayuzawa-san."
"Please, do come in! These bunny apples aren't going to eat themselves!"
It's so sickening how even my own mother sides against me with my boyfriend. Doesn't she have any other hobbies besides humiliating me? What about Suzuna? She's got it pretty easy. She even has her own boyfriend, Hinata-kun, which is good, because Suzuna needs someone who can keep up with her cooking…
As we all sit down to eat, Suzuna places what looks like an envelope from a contest on the table.
"I won another contest. This one took a couple of tries, but I won."
"That's great Suzuna! What did you win?" I encourage her, my efforts to avoid Takumi seemingly obvious. He doesn't seem to notice as he munches on bunny apples. 'Excellent distraction mom!'
"Tickets for a one week cruise to somewhere near Sapporo. All expenses paid, first class, in a room with an excellent view." She gives one of her rare smiles- small, but jovial nonetheless.
"Wow, that's great Suzuna! How many tickets are there? Could we go as a family?"
"Actually, there are only two…"
"Oh, that's fine-" I wave her off. "Are you going with Hinata-kun? Or you could even go with mom. I've got work, and she could use a break from the stress-"
"Actually," Suzuna interrupts, "Mom agrees with me that you're the one needing the break onee-chan…" I swear Usui is smirking, but his face is turned the other way. "Here are your tickets onee-chan, you will receive the keys at check-in, and all you need to do is pack. Surprise." As she slips the envelope into my hand, her face is the same one that she wears almost all the time: expressionless.
"I-I-I uhhh…" Looking between Suzuna and my mom, I can see that they've already discussed this. Who do they expect me to take?! I couldn't possibly only take Sakura or Shizuko, that'd make me an awful friend! I could take Aoi, though he probably wouldn't want to leave his designer label for a week… Do they expect me to take Takumi? Honestly, I wouldn't mind a week alone with Takumi… "Bad Misaki! What are you thinking?! Of course you would mind!'
"Who would I take? Sakura and Shizuko-"
"Why, Usui-kun of course!" My mom chirps. "You two hardly get any alone time, and you need a way to celebrate finishing finals! This will be a great opportunity for you two to unwind…" Usui is still turned away from me, and I can tell his smirk is so devilish, Beelzebub is running for the hills.
"WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?! WE SPEND PLENTY OF TIME TOGETHER! The per-" I'm silenced by one of Takumi's hands covering my mouth, as he gives mother a dazzling smile.
"We'd love to accept the tickets, Suzuna-chan, Minako-san." 'Wait- when did they get on a first name basis?' "When does the ship leave?"
"Tomorrow morning. We can meet at the docks before lunch- don't worry, we won't let onee-chan pack for herself."
"WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?! AND WHO SAID I WAS GOING, ANYWAY? IT'S NOT LIKE I'D EVER GO ON A CRUISE WITH THAT PERVERT!"
I feel like a spectator in my own life. My own family had turned against me and sided with the perverted alien… I don't even want to go on a cruise! I have to work, even more than usual because Satsuki is out of town. Though Honoka did say that she could handle it…
As my mother zips around my room, she and Suzuna rapidly debate the color palate of my 'cruise wardrobe'. They forbade me packing my own clothes for some odd reason…
As they continue to shove clothes into my duffle, I catch a glimpse of a nightgown, and I'm pretty sure I experienced a seizure. 'Are we going to have to sleep in the same room?!' I continue the thought process and feel myself shrinking as my mother pulls me out of the house and towards the waiting cab. 'What if something happens? What if nothing happens? Which would be worse…?' I'm brought out of my long reverie as the cab pulls to a stop. I pay the fare and step out onto the pier. The smell of the ocean is refreshing, and the wind tousles my loose hair.
As I pull my hair back, I feel familiar hands cover my eyes. "Guess who?" I can hear the trademark smirk he's wearing.
"Hmm, could it be Hinata? Or perhaps it's Igarashi-kun? I would just love for either of the- AHHHH!" As Takumi's arms hook under my knees and back, I'm scooped up into his arms bridal-style. "USUI TAKUMI, PUT ME DOWN THIS INSTANT! This is inappropriate!"
"No.," cComes his childish reply. "Misa-chan needs to be punished for tormenting me. Here I am trying to be nice, and you go and intentionally hurt my feelings." He pouts down at me, his impossibly green eyes begging me to apologize.
"Ugghhh… I'm sorry for teasing you, but will you put me down?! People are starting to stare…"
I look up at him pleadingly, only for him to pull me closer and continue walking. "Usui!" I am surprised to feel him lower me to my feet.
"On one condition will I let you walk on your own. You will refer to me as Takumi no matter the place or time. We've been dating several years now, and you won't even call me by my given name… I'm hurt Misa-chan…"
"… Fine… Takumi…" I silently curse the blush that spreads across my face, but his smile makes the humiliation worth it.
He intertwines our fingers together, and pulls me towards the ship. As I study the look of pure happiness on his face, I find myself putting all of my worries to rest. I love Takumi, and he loves me. I have no need to worry about anything, except for the fact that Suzuna and mom packed for me. This is going to be a long week…
Takumi pov:
As we walk towards the ship, I think back to the conversation I had with Minako-san only a few days ago.
"Of course I don't mind! You and my Misaki have been dating for a while now, and I know true love when I see it." Minako-san's smile eases my nerves, but before I can speak, the ever-quiet Suzuna pipes up.
"Just know, Bro-in-law, If you hurt my onee-chan, I will hunt you down. I will find you no matter where you run, and I will end you. No exceptions." Here expressionless face has never been more terrifying, though I keep my cool. Calmly breathing, I smell the flowers that I brought for Minako-san.
"Thank you both. You know how much Misaki means to me, and I would never hurt her. Even if I did, I'm pretty sure that she would be the one to hunt me down…" As we all laugh, I find myself at ease with my family to be, and our plan for my 'vacation' with Misaki.
I pull Misaki closer with our intwined hands, and repeatedly turn the small box in my pocket with the other. This week is my chance to seal the deal with Misaki. Even if she says no, I will ask every day until she says yes. I will not let her get away, especially if it means Suzuna hunting me down…
Here's to success on the first try.
Let me know what you think in the comments! Only a few things are set in stone for the next chapter.
