Sorry for the late chapter and excuse the grammer errors. Anyways enjoy as usual! Review suggestions!

I gulped at the tension in the air, it's funny I now have personal evidence of where Tezuka gets his stoic nature from. Grandpa and dad just alike, scary, however, mom and her cheerfulness is just as scary. Still, it's to be expected, there are families that are more orderly than mine.

"So dear, how are you doing in your academics?"

"Very well, I make sure my school work comes first so I can fulfill my dreams of being an accomplished chemist."

"Ah, well, look ouji-san Kunimitsu has found him a smart girl." She smiled in delight. I believe I have approval from her now.

"Yes and I heard from him that you are also into sports?"

"Tennis is my passion as well, I take pride in the sport however, tennis is very enjoyable and you learn from it." He nodded putting a piece of meat into his mouth. Alright two out of three, I just have to impressive grandpa Tezuka and all is well in the world.

Expectantly I waited for his grandfather to test me as well. He didn't ask anything he was quiet and observant, I guess I was going to have to ask him something.

"So I hear from Tezuka you have a famous collection of bonsai trees that are very magnificent." As soon as I asked that I wish I didn't, the room seemed to darken with anxiousness. He set his utensils down wiping his mouth with his napkin and placing it on the table. Getting up he looked at me.

"Yes, let us go see them."

"Grandfather I will come accompany you and Ryoka."

"No, stay here it will just be us."

I looked at Tezuka telling him I was going to be fine and walked to join him.

I gazed at his little trees, they're very impressive. He has a lot in his garden and he takes pride in them. Just like the whole family, they are prideful in everything they do.

"Why do you act so interested in my grandson?"

"I'm sorry sir but, you must be mistaken act? Tezuka is a great boyfriend and I like the relationship we have."
"Yes, for now. I know you girls I was once young. They like new and interesting things yet, when they become boring they throw them away." My hands tightened into a fist, how dare he say that, I am not like those girls.

"I am not like those other girls. Tezuka has a great personality and is a person I believe I will be in amazement my whole life and never tire."

"Oh really then why do you still call him Tezuka and he calls you by your first name?"

"I am half American and I am use to everyone calling me Ryoka. Besides if I were to be called Echizen it would be like him talking with my younger brother." My stone cold gaze dropped realizing I shouldn't retaliate.

"Sir, I never meant to disrespect you in any way. I just want you to like me. You are everything to Tezuka and that admiration that he gives you is amazing. Please forgive my tone, I meant everything I just said never the less, I should have said it more polite." I bowed asking for forgiveness.

"Okay." I stood up.

"Okay?"

"I believe you, I never would have thought I met someone with this much passion in her dating my grandson."

"I'm an Echizen, we are known for this."

"I can tell. Let us get back to the rest of them. I bet they are waiting for us."

Happily I followed him back into the house more relieved and feeling I had been accepted in the family. My mood felt good and nothing could ruin this

Spoke to soon. It was pouring outside and there was no way of getting home. I was stuck in a new house I had never been overnight before and I still had to keep my cool around Tezuka's family. Oh man I was not prepared for this; I expected to keep my composure for a maximum of three hours not overnight. It was only seven so I was sure that I was to join the family and do something before we all went to bed.

"Ryoka honey, are you alright you're looking pale."

"Fine, I guess I'm staying the night."

"Of course, let me just talk with your parents they'll understand since the weather has turned bad."
"Okay." I gave her the number and sat on the couch as she talked with my mother.

"Uh-huh… Oh no problem… She will be fine… Of course, it would be our pleasure to watch over her… Alrighty…. Bye." She hung up the phone giving me a smile. "Like I said everything is taking care of so relax."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Call me mom."

"Mom? I don't know I mean isn't it a little too soon to be calling you that."

"I know it's early in the relationship but, my Kuni has a good eye for picking girls. I can see you won't be going anywhere for a while. Even grandfather agrees."

"Really, I mean how do you know? Did he tell you anything?"

"No the look on his face gave it away, he was scowling a little less than usual so, it was a safe guess to say he likes you." I laughed with her.

"Thanks."

"No problem dear. You remind me of me when I was younger. Full of spunk and ready for anything."

"How did you end up married to Tezuka's father?"

"Oh, just like you two. Young in love and we had a lot of things in come." She sat me down on the couch as she finished her story. "We both were interested in business. So our classes intertwined in each others. Well, one day we had to be partners for our most important grade of the year. My darling husband thought I was a dumb girl and I thought he was just an air-head girl, we fought for the most part."

"I can't believe he was like that he looks strict now."

"Yeah, he was strict but, more outgoing. Anyways, I was walking home from the library and a bunch of older; high school boys thought it would be fun to bother me.

My mouth gaped open. "They didn't do anything bad to you did they?"

"Oh heavens no, just before anything bad happened my husband rush to the rescue and from them on I was hooked." She giggled like a school girl and I smiled happily, another thing about Mrs. Tezuka, a huge romantic! We heard a cough and I turned to see both Tezuka and his father standing there.

"I see you're exaggerating again."

"I am not! You're still embarrassed to admit that you're just as big of a romantic as I am!"

He pinched the bridge of his nose, so that's where Tezuka gets that from.

"Dear, I think we should leave Kunimitsu and Ryoka alone and finish some other things."

"Oh, okay!" She walked over to her husband and they walked into the other room.

Tezuka joined me on the couch as we watched T.V for a while, until I thought of something.

"So, Tezuka. What are we going to do about sleeping tonight?

"I think we have to share. We left our extra bedding outside and as you know it's raining so we can't use that now."

"Alright, I don't mind sharing it's just like sleeping with Ryoma-nii. Although you're my boyfriend instead of my brother. Another question what about pajamas?"

"You can wear some of my clothes they'll be big but, It's better than sleeping in what you're wearing now."

"Okay."

Thirty minutes later the two had changed into different clothes. Tezuka gave Ryoka sweat pants and a t-shirt to wear to bed. Slipping under the covers the two listened to the rain against the window.

"You know I think today went well for you skipping out on our date." Ryoka smirked slightly as Tezuka turned to her.

"I could have done without Atobe interfering and threatening to take you."

"Yes, well, I whopped him in tennis he shouldn't cause us anymore trouble."

"Somehow, I highly doubt that." Ryoka rolled her eyes.

"Then I'll beat him again. I just noticed you had your glasses off." She cupped his cheek giving him a kiss, "Your eyes are just as intense as they are with the glasses in front of them."

"Aha you're they only one who get to see me without them."

"I like that privilege." Ryoka yawned loudly, "Night Kunimitsu." Turning her back to him she was afraid that saying his first name wasn't the right move.

"Good night Ryoka." Tezuka pulled her back and made her comfortable as well as him before they both feel asleep.
