A/N: I used the Wallflower as the name of the shop (I know not very creative) but can't think of any.
Well here is the first chapter hope you like it.
Summary:
Past Present Future
What's past is past. We cannot turn back to the past and rectify what we have done even if we made mistakes, all we can do is just learn from it, from the experience and use it in the future. However for Sunako if the past is her only chance to have the future she wanted she would defy the law of time and return.
Present
Arriving in the mansion, she went straight to her room knowing that no one is in the house to greet with anyway. She's hungry however, she is too lazy to cook and just want to sleep her hunger over.
Dropping her books and knapsack on the couch, she turned towards the Luna IPod radio (a gift from Yuki) sitting atop a small round table table near the window.
After finding the tune she wanted she rested her elbows on the window sill and stared at nothingness outside her room feeling worn out than she had ever before. It had been a really tiring week for her with all the works in the Wallflower restaurant and school. She barely even managed to get ounces of sleep the entire week. She's not really complaining and not every week is like this anyway, these past few days has just been busy, what with all the exams in the school and events taking place in the restaurant everything is now taking its toll on her.
She lets out a sigh and sat down on the chair placed near the window.
'It's beautiful'. She thought staring at the sunset.
It has been quite a while since she last saw the rays of the sun, and it is not because she had returned to being her old self again. She just has quite few other priorities now that she rather much focuses on than actually bask in the glory of the warmth of the sun. Remembering those days when she hated the sight of light a smile appeared on her face."a lot has changed". She spoke to herself.
It has been three years since she has last seen all of them together. Just few months after everything are settled in the shop. Takenaga and Noi announce their union and decided to live together while continuing their studies in college. Kyohei battled his annoyance of being in the limelight and accepted the offer given to him to become an exclusive model for a very famous clothing line in Paris. Now his pictures are everywhere. Yuki on the other hand is the one she had never expected to be who he is now.
Yuki decided to learn cooking alongside her. They are both attending the same school and live (still) together. However, Yuki's schedule is more flexible as Sunako decided to take a business course while taking a cooking class at the same time so he is the one mostly seen in the shop managing the area.
As for Ranmaru and Tamao, she really has no idea, of their whereabouts. She recon they must have tied the union as well. When Kyohei and Takenaga left the mansion, it didn't take long for Ranmaru to do the same though it wasn't really a surprise for Sunako but she still felt sad by the separation. She after all has a secret crush on him.
She released a yawn feeling the serenity of her surroundings and the soothing music in the background. Slowly she let herself be drifted into sleep embraced by the comforting melody
The sound of knocking awakens her from sleep. At first she paid no mind thinking it will be just Yuki. But the knocking continues, hesitatingly she sat up and started walking towards the door letting a groan escape her lips when she felt the throbbing on her head.
"Wait a second Yuki, I'll be there." She called to him.
"Sunako chan, hurry up!" Demanded the person on the other side of the door.
She opened it wide enough to see the gleaming Yuki in front of her. If she is back to her old self she would scream by now and have nose bleed by the glowing aura of Yuki.
"Yuki. You're too bright." Sunako commented huffing at the sight. She rubbed her head and Yuki just shrugged innocently.
"Are you okay?" Yuki asked filled with concern seeing the state she is currently in.
She didn't reply however just resumed the rubbing of her temple.
"Have you eaten already? I went to the kitchen and it doesn't seem to be touched. I brought some food from the shop we could eat together if you want." Yuki continued.
Sunako would have said no but she knew too well that her friend wouldn't accept no for an answer so she decided to go and follow him in the kitchen ignoring the thumping on her head. Yuki placed three plates on the table Sunako noted and started taking out the foods from their containers and arranging all in front of them.
"Ah, Yuki." Sunako called his attention while he is taking fruit juices from the fridge.
He turned around and faced her holding two pitchers on both hands. Closing the door with his foot he strode back towards the table.
"Yes?" He asked pouring the liquid slowly to three glasses he had set on the table.
"Are you aware that you arranged food for three?" She enquired furrowing her eyebrows in confusion.
He looked at her bewildered like she had grown two heads. Laughing slowly at her words "Of course I am you silly." He answered confidently and continued pouring juice to the remaining glasses.
"Who are we expecting then?"
The sound of doorbell ringing through the entire house stopped Yuki from answering her. He handed the knife to her and asked to continue cutting the chicken.
"I'll be back." Yuki told her and left her with the chicken to cut.
After a while footsteps were heard coming near the kitchen, she had finished slicing the chicken by then and now placing portions of the meal on the plates. With her back on the door, she didn't notice when the footsteps stopped, Yuki and whoever came are now standing by the door looking at her.
"Sunako chan." Called Yuki, trying to take her attention from the dinner in front of her.
But instead of turning around Sunako asked him instead while she continued arranging their foods, "Yuki, did you buy Jim Beam BBQ sauce for the chicken? I can't find any here."
A smile crept slowly on the face of the new guest.
"Seriously, after 3 years I would have thought you're passed from that addiction of yours. But I can see you're still the same."
Sunako froze hearing the guest's comment. It is not however the comment that made her froze or the fact that the guest's is standing behind her. It is the voice. That's right it had been 3 years but that is the voice she would never forget no matter how long time pass her by.
She slowly turned around counting every millisecond before she is finally face to face with the owner of the voice.
Her eyes widen in surprise, if the voice is enough to make her freeze. Seeing the person in the flesh is entirely different. "Ran…Maru." She uttered more of an enquiry than a statement.
A smile spread on Ranmaru's face. "Hello Sunako chan."
That made it. The brightness emitting from Ranmaru made her nose to bleed and sent her to blackness though the two boys calling her name is the last thing she heard before finally drifting back to the darkness she once called home.
She felt light headed. The throbbing of her head diminished to her delight. Feeling the soft fabric on her back, she tried to remember when she transferred to bed from sleeping on the stand alone chair near the window.
The groan that escaped from her mouth alerted Ranmaru who occupied the chair she was thinking about.
"Sunako chan, you're awake." He left the chair and took few strides to her.
Hearing the voice, Sunako immediately drew her eyes toward the figure sitting at the foot of her bed.
"You're here." She asked not quite understanding why Ranmaru is with her in her room unless she's dreaming like before.
"Ah. Yeah, I'm here. Don't you remember what happened?"
She was about to give her answer when the door suddenly opened and revealed a shining Yuki.
Yuki squealed "Sunako chan you're awake!" Yes Yuki do squeal and like a girl. It will surprise you actually since he hated to be categorised as feminine but squealing he said is just natural.
"Yuki. You're hurting my head."
Yuki chuckled sitting on the bed beside her.
"So, have you two talked?" He enquired looking between the two of them.
"We would have been had you not interrupted." Ranmaru answered.
"Okay! I'm leaving then and let you two have a talk. I'm hungry anyway." Yuki walk to the door but before closing it he took a final glance to both of them. "Don't take too long though." He told the two of them finally closing the door behind him.
During the course of the conversation the two were having earlier, Sunako remembered what happened. She wanted to smack her head for being such a fool in front of Ranmaru, it was just due to her surprise after not seeing him for so long. Sunako kept repeating to herself.
"So." Ranmaru started.
Sunako was brought back to her current situation.
"How have you been?"
She hoists herself up by her elbows and pushed her back on the bed post so they are now both sitting.
"I am okay. Striving." She answered shortly.
"So the both of you still continued the Wallflower shop." It was a statement however rather than a question. After each one of them started leaving it brought the shop into chaos. Not many staff to take orders and do the necessary preparations when either of the two is not present at the shop.
"Yeah. It was kind of hard to stop even if my and Yuki's schedule are crazy at times. It is something we both love doing after all. So we continued." She tried a glance toward him but Ranmaru looked at her meeting her gaze. She was the first to resign though when the intensity was too great for her. It was only for a moment but for Sunako it seemed like 20 years of her life was taken from her from that gaze and now she can't wait but to get away.
The silence in the room was deafening, for a while no one talked.
She didn't know who started but she found herself locked lips with the star of her dreams. Gently pressed down the mattress, she couldn't help but moan when Ranmaru slipped his tongue inside her mouth. She doesn't know what she's doing anymore all she care is the warm body atop her giving her so much attention and joy. After a lot of tongue battling and hands roaming around her body eliciting great pleasure she had never felt before, they both parted for air.
Sunako and Ranmaru stared at each other, not really knowing what to say. Sunako reached up wrapping her hands through Ranmaru's beautiful and silky hair and once more gathered up what little bit of courage she could, gently pulled him down so that their lips met once again.
Ranmaru bit and licked at Sunako's neck as she writhed in pleasure. Ranmaru brought his hands down and softly traced his fingers down the clothed breast of Sunako. He hastily undid the buttons one by one placing tender kisses every time he undid a button. When Ranmaru felt Sunako stiffened he looked up at her meeting her eyes. Understanding the hesitation in them he closed the gap between their lips and kissed her and that is all the assurance she needed. Sunako gave everything to Ranmaru and let her heart decide. Ranmaru was all too happy to oblige and give her what she needs sliding his tongue down her chin tasting her skin he moved its way lower as more skin was exposed.
Both were lost from the pleasure forgetting everything and just enjoying the moment.
Next on Past, Present, Future
"What did you say?" Sunako asked again. She heard what he said but he wants to make sure.
"I said, Ranmaru is getting married." Yuki explained to her while he finished designing the remaining cup cakes. "And they want us to design the cake for their wedding." He added.
Sunako however stopped listening as soon as she heard that Ranmaru is getting married. Yuki didn't see that Sunako paled from the news nor he didn't see tears streaming down her face, however he did see her lying on the floor.
