disclaimer: i do not own tekken or any of their characters
Asuka, Xiaoyu, and Julia fell asleep after the movie. Xiaoyu was lying on her belly, Julia had a popcorn bowl on her, and Asuka had the remote loosely in her hand. Then, someone knocked on the door. "Hello? Hey, it's me Jin."
Julia woke up when he started knocking again. She woke up the others, but Asuka couldn't move. Well, she was the one who slept the latest last night.
Xiaoyu and Julia squealed because Jin was at the door, and Xiaoyu's crush on him could last forever. "Oh my god! It's him, how do I look?" She was eager to look good for him.
"Um, you look like you just got out of bed, and since all of us have morning breath and bad face, we should wash up. Come with me." Julia dragged her to the bathroom and they both rinsed their faces to look refreshed. It took two minutes, but Jin is very patient, or so I've read.
He knocked again hoping for an answer and heard footsteps. Asuka answered the door and she looked really lethargic. "Jin, hey." Asuka was still very sleepy. Girls took forever to do something. Well, these 3 girls. Jin walked in and gave her a letter talking about a new tournament.
Julia and Xiaoyu went downstairs and looked ready for the day while Asuka was scratching her head full of popcorn butter. Everyone did stuff popcorn on their faces, so she was the last to clean up. Then, she fell asleep on the couch once again. The two didn't want to bother her.
Xiaoyu fluffed her hair hoping Jin would notice. "Hello, Kazama. What are you doing here?"
"Whoa, Xiaoyu, what is this, and Julia, what are you doing here? Am I missing something important? A secret meeting?" He scratched his forehead nervously thinking he was eavesdropping on something.
Julia chuckled and rested her hand on his shoulder. "Oh, Jin. You and your ways! I know Hwoarang's behavior is kind of contagious, but try to just try to ignore it. I've seen you two fight before on campus."
Jin smirked a bit. "Hwoarang isn't exactly a good guy. I mean everyone knows that. He cheats, lies, spreads rumors, talk about his "friends" behind their backs, gets everything he wants by not doing any-" He was cut off by Julia.
"I know he's a pain in the ass sometimes, but I love him. I am so offended." Julia put her hand on her heart and made a "cute" puppy face. "Anyways, I'll leave you here with Xiaoyu. You two stay behaved."
"So…" Xiaoyu grinned as Julia left.
"Here, this is for you. It's an invitation to the King of Iron Fist Tournament Seven. I held it in captivity until we knew each other well so I could give it to you at the right time. Tell me if you're going to join, alright?" He gently closed the door without a goodbye or a smile.
Xiaoyu sighed in disappointment. She was thinking, "Is that why he wanted to be friends with me in the first place?" She squeezed the envelope. Before this, she expected to speak to Jin more than Julia did. She really wanted for him to talk about the two of them as friends. Then, Julia and Asuka rushed in the background.
Julia squealed. "So, tell us everything? Did he touch you? Did he come close to you?" Asuka was wondering the same thing. But what just happened is going to impact Xiaoyu's life. Then, Xiaoyu responded. "Nothing happened. Nothing at all happened. He just gave me a stupid invitation." She threw the envelope to the floor, picked up her bag, and ran back to her house.
Asuka sighed. "Disaster happened. Disaster was all that happened." She sat down on the recliner. Julia came toward her. "Don't worry, Jin will realize that he hurt her. Everyone Jin is always like that. Who doesn't?" Julia smiled and patted her back.
Julia headed to the kitchen to cook veggie burgers. Asuka just rest her head. After all, her parents left and she had the whole house to herself.
