Shizuma had been avoiding her phone all day knowing that soon enough she would have to place a phone call she wasn't very excited about. She had received a message earlier that morning from none other than her father and he had somehow found out about the engagement ring she had engraved. Shizuma was given a choice in that message, she either calls or he will just show up at her door step unannounced.
Nagisa hadn't noticed anything out of the ordinary when she woke up, Shizuma was her normal predatory self in bed this morning and when Nagisa's mom had called to see if they had gotten home safely, Shizuma did a good job at making the phone call awkward. Shizuma couldn't resist making Nagisa squeal when she was on the phone, which resulted in a nice little scolding from Mrs. Aoi while Nagisa glared at Shizuma, who just had a grin her face resting her head on Nagisa's stomach. Everything had seemed fine until after dinner and Shizuma sat on the couch just staring at her phone on the table in front of her.
"Shizuma, are you expecting a call? You have been looking at your phone ever since we got out of the shower." Nagisa said snuggling close next to Shizuma on the couch as a movie played in the background.
Shizuma looked at Nagisa a little bothered with a sigh. "My dad found out I got an engagement ring engraved." She said looking down at Nagisa's hand where she had placed that particular ring. "He said I either call him today or he will just show up here unannounced, I just don't know what to tell him. He still thinks you are just some guy. Just wait till I tell him that the person I'm marrying is the girl I screwed up the Etoile elections with."
"He knows about that?" Nagisa asked wondering what Shizuma's relationship with her father was really like.
"Well, I didn't really have a choice the school called him. I never told you because I only talked to him on the phone a little bit about it before he had to go back to work, but he said something along the lines of 'I can't believe you would ruin a big event like that, especially by telling another girl you are in love with her, what were you thinking?'" Shizuma explained as Nagisa took a deep breath reliving that experience in her head.
"Do you think he is still mad about it?" Nagisa asked standing from the couch to go grab a drink from the fridge.
"No, I talked to him about it at the graduation ceremony Miator held. You came up and gave me a hug when I was getting a drink to congratulate me, do you remember?" Shizuma asked as Nagisa nodded taking her seat again. "Well, he had saw that when he was returning from the restroom and he asked if you were the girl I ran away with. When I told him yes he just sighed and said 'well at least she is cute.'"
"He didn't care that you ran away with another girl? Does he have any idea what you did to me that night?" Nagisa asked somewhat confused that he hadn't seemed bothered.
"No, he didn't know that part. Only me, you, the heavens above...and whoever started that rumor about the moaning spirits in the woods know what happened that night, though the person who started that rumor didn't have the full story." Shizuma said smiling at the memory.
"Yea, that rumor was embarrassing, Tamao caught on quick though. That is a conversation I would rather not relive." Nagisa sighed looking down to Shizuma's phone. "You should call him though, at least then we don't have to worry about him coming over."
Shizuma grudgingly nodded in agreement as she grabbed the phone with a big sigh. "I hate when you're right about these types of things." She said dialing the number as she stood up and walked over to the balcony waiting for the answer. "Hi, dad." Shizuma said a she heard the other line pick up.
"Who is he? Is he treating my daughter well?" Mr. Hanazono demanded to know as Shizuma sighed somewhat expecting this reaction from her father.
"Calm down, deep breaths, and put down whatever you were about to break." Shizuma said as Nagisa looked at her thoroughly confused.
Mr. Hanazono took a deep breath. "I am lucky to have a daughter that knows me so well." He said laughing a little before getting to the point. "Shizuma, I want to meet the man that captured my daughter's heart, especially since I didn't even think you were dating anyone right now. In fact why don't you put him on the phone."
Shizuma turned towards Nagisa with a little nervous laugh scratching the back of her head. "Uh, alright, I can put him on the phone..." Shizuma said as Nagisa went wide eyed from fright waving her hands frantically in front of her trying to get Shizuma to go away. "One second father he will be ready to talk in a second." She said going into the kitchen for a moment.
Nagisa stopped waving her hands and just stared at the kitchen door confused for a second as Shizuma came back out holding the phone out to her with a smile. Nagisa turned her head away slightly declining Shizuma yet again. Shizuma expected that reaction so she pulled out what she had just made in the kitchen and held it in front of Nagisa's face along with the phone and a big smile. Nagisa sighed admitting defeat as she grabbed the phone shaking her head at the piece of paper that had the words 'in use' written on it.
Nagisa cleared her throat as she put the phone up to her ear instantly being bombarded with questions. "Where did you meet my daughter? Are you treating my Shizuma well? What is your name? How did you propose?"
Nagisa paused for a second as her mind processed everything that was just asked. "Uh, I met her at school." She looked over at the sign shaking her head. "She is most definitely being treated well. My name is Nagisa, and well actually she proposed to me."
"Put Shizuma back on the phone please." Mr. Hanazono said in a calm manner as Nagisa handed the phone back to Shizuma shrugging.
"Y—yes father?" Shizuma asked a little nervous.
"Shizuma, he sounds like a girl and his name is Nagisa? What type of man is he? He wasn't even the one to propose! I want to meet him, I need to see what qualities he has that you could possibly like. Miki will be there at 10 am to pick you two up and bring you here." He said not allowing Shizuma to speak.
Shizuma sighed scratching her head knowing that she couldn't argue her father when he said things like that. "Yes, father I will we will see you tomorrow." Shizuma said hanging up the phone as she plopped down on the couch next to Nagisa with a sigh. "We are being picked up tomorrow at 10 by my personal maid, Miki."
Nagisa nodded knowing that they couldn't get out of this even if they wanted to and besides her father should know who she is marrying. "Well at least he knows I'm a girl so we don't have to explain that." Nagisa said as Shizuma smiled laughing a little still in disbelief at how slow her father could be.
"Actually, he just thinks your a guy that sounds like a girl and has a girls name. He also thinks questions your man hood because I was the one to propose." Shizma sighed. "In other words, tomorrow is going to be great!" Shizuma said sarcastically. "I still don't understand how your name wasn't a dead give away."
"Well, we can worry about that tomorrow we have to get going if we are going to meet Miyuki and Tamao." Nagisa said standing from the couch recalling they planned on meeting for dinner that night.
Shizuma looked at Nagisa smiling. "I can't believe you can think of food so quickly after a call like that."
Nagisa grabbed the piece of paper Shizuma had made. "Actually, I was thinking of the food, I was thinking the faster we get dinner done with, the faster we can put this nice sign to use." She said with mischievous grin as Shizuma gave her that predatory look.
"I knew I made the right choice choosing you to be my wife." She said as she stood and gave Nagisa a kiss.
Later at dinner...
Nagisa and Shizuma had met up with Miyuki and Tamao at a train station not to far from the restaurant they were eating at. They had decided just to walk seeing as though it wasn't too far.
"So you are getting picked up to go to Shizuma's fathers house tomorrow morning?" Miyuki asked trying to make sense of what Nagisa had just told them.
"Yea, he said he wants to meet me tomorrow, though thinks I'm just a girly sounding guy right now." Nagisa sighed looking back noticing Shizuma looking at the back of her pants. "Shizuma what are you looking at? Do I have something on me?" She asked trying to see the back of her pants, Shizuma had been trailing behind them for a few minutes and she was getting curious.
"Huh?" Shizuma said looking up at Nagisa a little confused seeing the glare on her face. "Uh, yea...you have something on your pants. Here let me get it." Shizuma said.
"Shizuma!" Nagisa squealed in surprise from Shizuma's hand. "We are in public." Miyuki and Tamao looked over at her a little surprised by the squeal before realizing what Shizuma had done.
"Got it." Shizuma said with a slight grin as the three continued walking.
Miyuki cleared her throat trying to diffuse the situation as Shizuma turned to her a little annoyed. "Shizuma, don't you get enough of that at home?"
Shizuma grinned with a slight chuckle. "More than you can imagine Miyuki." She said as Nagisa's face turned bright red in embarrassment. Shizuma laughed as she gave Nagisa a kiss on the cheek. "You're so cute when your embarrassed, I love you."
Nagisa just shook her head and sighed, even though she was embarrassed she couldn't help but let it go when Shizuma said things like that. She knew Shizuma had loved to embarrass her like this and she also knew that Shizuma would always make it up to her later. Even though it was embarrassing at the time Nagisa wouldn't have it any other way. She loved Shizuma more than anything in the world and considered herself the luckiest person in the world to be able to call Shizuma her fiance and soon, wife.
Nagisa had slowed her walking as she thought to herself about Shizuma. "Nagisa, we are here." Shizuma said bringing her back from her thoughts as they stood outside the restaurant while Miyuki and Tamao went and got a table.
Nagisa realized she was alone with Shizuma and took advantage of it. "Shizuma, I love you." Nagisa said with a smile looking down at the ring on her finger. "I can't tell you how happy I am to be wearing this."
Shizuma smiled as she took her hand and kissed the ring on her finger. "I love you too, and I couldn't imagine having anyone else in the world wearing this ring." She said before taking Nagisa's hand in her own and intertwining their fingers. "Now let's go get something to eat. We have a big day tomorrow let's enjoy tonight while we still can."
Nagisa just simply smiled and nodded, it still surprised her how calm and comfortable Shizuma could make her when she said things like that. The world would just fade into the background and the only thing that would matter to her at the moment was the girl she now called her fiance. She couldn't help herself but smile brightly at those thoughts as they sat down at the table where Miyuki and Tamao were waiting.
Tamao had joked about Nagisa and Shizuma's sex life being the back bone of their relationship, but she was always reminded that it wasn't the truth when she saw how happy Shizuma could make Nagisa with just a few simple words. "So you were saying her father still thinks you're a guy?" Tamao asked breaking the silence that had lingered at the table since Shizuma and Nagisa sat down.
There was a slight pause before Shizuma decided she would answer. "Yes, I was actually surprised honestly. He talked to her on the phone, even though it was short she answered a bunch of questions and handed me back the phone. My father just said he sounded like a girl and questioned what type of man he was having me propose. Even though she told him her name he still didn't get it." Shizuma said laughing towards the end. "Honestly, I'm more worried about Miki's reaction then my father. She has been like a mother to me ever since I was just little."
It was common knowledge between the four girls that Shizuma's mother had never really been apart of her life, she had visited and called from time to time but honestly Shizuma couldn't say much about her because she had spent so little time with her. Shizuma's mother and father had been separated for a very long time and she had since moved to the Untied States and just kind of dropped out of the picture.
Nagisa didn't know to much about Shizuma's family except that they were wealthy and she seemed to have a decent relationship with her father. He would call from time to time just like Nagisa's parents and Shizuma and him would talk mainly about her life and how it was going, but she also knew Shizuma didn't ever mention Nagisa, which she later admitted made it hard to talk to her father because she wanted to talk about everything she had done with Nagisa. Mr. Hanazono still didn't know about her though, and she was scared just like Nagisa was, to tell her father.
"Why are you nervous around Miki?" Nagisa asked curiously.
Shizuma looked at her before sighing slightly. "I'm not really nervous, she is my personal maid after all and I can just tell her to be quiet, but she is the closest thing I have ever had to a mother and she has always been there for me. Her opinion matters to me, I guess is what I'm trying to say." Shizuma admitted as the food arrived at the table.
Nagisa smiled and put an arm around Shizuma. "I'm sure everything will be fine. I don't imagine it can be much worse than being introduced by getting caught in bed topless with you by my mom." The waitress cleared her throat with a somewhat surprised look on her face as she set the plates down in front of the girls. Nagisa blushed as she she looked down at her plate, mentally scolding herself for saying something like that with the waitress right next to her.
Shizuma saw this as a great opportunity as she looked up at the waitress. "I would like to buy this lovely girl a drink for speaking nothing but the truth." The waitress paused for a second before taking a deep breath and smiling at Shizuma trying to hide her unease.
"Certainly." The waitress commented before leaving to go get the drink.
Shizuma smiled at Nagisa's red face as the waitress came back with the drink. "Wow, I haven't seen you this red since we experimented with the whip cream a few weeks ago." She said trying her hardest to keep a straight face as Nagisa took a deep breath and gave her an 'I'm going to kill you' look.
The waitress paused for a second before putting the drink down on the table her eyes a little wide feeling very uncomfortable from Shizuma's conversation. "C—can I get you anything else?" She asked a bit hesitantly.
Shizuma looked up at her with a smile. "Nope, fortunately enough the only thing I want is this red head to come to bed with me tonight, though if I remember right, she already agreed to."
"Alright, then I will be back to check on you soon!" The waitress said quickly as she walked away from the table.
Shizuma laughed at Nagisa, noticing that Nagisa was still staring at her with that death glare. "Why are you looking at me like that? I was only telling the truth."
"So that is what happened to that whip cream I had at your place." Tamao said bluntly catching Nagisa and Shizuma's attention.
Shizuma put her arm around Nagisa and pulled the blushing girl closer as she looked at Tamao. "Yep, Nagisa ate all of it." Shizuma said causing Miyuki and Tamao to blush as she laughed to herself.
On their way home...
"Nagisa, you know I'm sorry about saying all that stuff at the restaurant, it's just that you look so cute when you're embarrassed. I admit I may have gotten a little carried away, though... I'm sorry." Shizuma said as she opened the door leading into their apartment.
Nagisa couldn't hold back anymore as she pushed Shizuma up against the wall and started attacking Shizuma's neck with her lips, her hands exploring Shizuma's body as she started pulling up on the bottom of Shizuma's shirt.
"W—what has gotten into you?" Shizuma moaned softly as her shirt hit the floor and Nagisa started to pull her into the living room pushing her back onto the couch when she finally had her bra removed.
Nagisa smiled mischievously as she removed her own shirt, straddling Shizuma in the process. "That whip cream comment at the restaurant." She said grabbing the back of Shizuma's head pulling her into a deep passionate kiss.
Shizuma undid Nagisa's bra never breaking the kiss, she grinned widely when they finally broke for air. "So much for being an innocent girl." Shizuma panted before stealing another kiss from Nagisa.
Nagisa giggled a little as Shizuma started working her way down towards her chest with her lips. "I guess you've tainted me." Nagisa said as she hugged Shizuma's head, throwing her own head back gasping as Shizuma lips finally made there way down from her neck.
"Nonsense, I will show you what tainting really is." Shizuma said as she stood from the couch holding Nagisa's thighs carrying her to the bedroom, continuing where they left off in the living room.
Shizuma grinned at Nagisa as she hovered over her. "See, I told you I wasn't lying. I really did bring that red head to bed with me."
A/N: So that was it I hope you enjoyed it! Shizuma is a bit more playful in this one at the moment mainly just because she isn't nervous (yet) being at home with Nagisa. Shizuma's father I am hoping after this chapter is still a little mysterious, because I have ideas for his attitude but I haven't fully decided yet. As far as Shizuma's family situation goes I tried to look it up just to make sure. I have read all the SP novels and seen the show a few times and to my knowledge they do not really mention anything about her except that she comes from a prominent family. I already know what I want to do with her family so sorry if it's a little different from the facts. (I would also love to know if it is for the future because I will be doing more Shizuma and Nagisa stories in the future.)
