Okay so I kinda lied a little bit about this chapter being Hikaris. I mean they are in this chapter, yeah, but so are a few other couples.
I decided to make this a cute little chapter of all the other couples and where they are now. So I have Takashi and Sofia (with mention of Honi and Reiko because I find it so hard to actually write for them) , Mei and Kasanoda, Kaoru and Natalia, Hikaru and Christian, and Kyoya and ? You will find out!
Ps - the end of the chapter is the beginning of the rest of Kyoya's storyline that I promised. It's like "woah what" so yeah have fun!
Enjoy!
Chapter 12 - Catch-up Games"Takashi, how are Mitsukuni and Reiko doing?" Sofia swung her feet as she sat on the counter watching her husband fix their kitchen table.
He continued fixing the table. "We just saw them yesterday."
"Well yeah I know that. But something could've happened between now and then."
Takashi got up once he finished fixing the table and shrugged. "They were doing well yesterday. So I guess they're doing well today, too."
Sofia hopped off of the counter and stood on her toes to kiss her husband. "You're probably right." She grabbed Takashi's hand and started leading him out of the kitchen. "It's almost sunset. Why don't we go outside and watch?"
"Okay." Takashi nodded and followed his wife outside.
The two sat on the edge of the porch and watched the sun set. Sofia was leaning against Takashi's chest as he had his arm wrapped around her and their hands were intertwined.
"Isn't it so beautiful? I always used to watch the sunset from the beach back home. My brother and sister always said that I was dumb for caring about something so boring."
He looked over at her. "I don't think it's boring. It's peaceful and beautiful . . . like you."
She giggled and leaned more into her husband. They sat in silence for a few more moments before Sofia spoke again.
"Takashi?" Sofia spoke calmly as she watched the sunset.
"Hm?" He looked down at her.
"Tamaki and Haruhi just had twins, you know."
He nodded and looked back at the horizon. "Yeah, they did. A boy and a girl, right?"
Sofia nodded. "Yeah."
She looked down at their hands and traced his knuckles with her small thumb. "Well, it got me thinking about something."
"About what?"
Sofia looked up at Takashi as a faint blush crept across her cheeks. "I want to have a baby, too. Can . . . Can we have a baby too, Takashi?"
He smiled and nodded. "Sure. Let's do it."
Sofia smiled wide and laughed. "Really?!"
He nodded again and laughed. Sofia then jumped up and threw her arms around Takashi's neck.
She hugged him tight and then kissed him. "We get to have a baby, Takashi! We're gonna start a family together!"
"Come on! Wake up!" Mei shook Ritsu angrily.
He groaned and rolled over in bed. "Just let me sleep, dammit."
She went over and sat on the dresser at the front of the room. "If you don't wake up, I'm going to start throwing things at you."
He groaned again but still didn't get up.
She picked up a hat and threw it at him. "Ritsu."
A bracelet. "Kasanoda."
A belt. "Sissy gangster."
A book. "Cry baby."
A pair of shoes. "Asshole! Get the hell up!"
Kasanoda sat up angrily and yelled at his girlfriend. "What the hell, Mei! Can't a man get any damn sleep around here!?"
As soon as he even slightly began to raise his voice, Mei death-glared at him. "Get. Up."
He shrunk in fear and caved. "Alright. Fine. I'm getting up. Don't friggen kill me, alright?"
Mei hopped off of the dresser and laughed. "I'll be waiting in the car."
"What? Why?"
"You're taking me shopping. I want to go buy my best friend a gift."
Ritsu laughed as he got dressed. "Awe, Mei. You don't have to. Your presence is the best gift I could ever ask for."
She scoffed and threw his keys at him. "Best friend is not the same as boyfriend, jackass. I'm gonna get something for Haruhi's twins. I only knit something for one so I might as well just buy something for the both of them."
He caught the keys and finished getting dressed. "I thought you said she was having A baby. Not two."
"Well if you pay attention to anything, you'll see that I just said 'twins.' She found out when she was like six months or something. Haruhi just had the twins a few days ago. Antoine and Akemi. A boy and a girl."
She turned and walked out of the room. "Now I'll be waiting in the car, like I said five minutes ago. Hurry the hell up."
"Alright alright. I'll be there in a minute."
"And then this one lady had the nerve to tell me I didn't know what I was talking about! I mean, did she even know who she was talking to? Did she even know who my mother is?" Kaoru ranted from his and Natalia's bedroom while she got ready for bed in the bathroom.
"And this lady said all of this because you turned down her designs?" She walked into the room and sat next to her husband on the bed.
"Exactly. I guess she just didn't understand that there is a lot of rejection in this industry. Like acting."
Nat faced Kaoru and locked their hands together. "I feel like I've dealt with that woman before. You said she was really tall and scary looking, right? And she had really long pin-straight blonde hair and a really funny accent?"
He looked over at his wife. "Yeah that's her."
Natalia laughed and moved in closer to her husband. "Then yeah, I used to deal with her all the time with my mom. She's crazy and doesn't know when to give up. I guess I have to give it to her for being so perseverant."
Kaoru laughed and kissed the top of Nat's head. "Yeah, you have a point there."
She moved close enough to lean on Kaoru's chest and looked up at him. "You know, when you rant like that, you kinda sound like Hikaru."
He smiled and let out a quiet laugh. "Well we are identical twins, Hun. It only makes sense that we resemble each other in more ways than one. Especially since we grew up closer than most siblings."
She rolled her eyes and moved back into her side of the bed. "I know. That's kinda why Hikaru treated me so terrible for the past five years, right? Because apparently I was-" She used her fingers as air quotes, "-'taking you away from him.' I'm just glad he doesn't completely hate me anymore. And now that he's with Christian, he has no choice but to get along with me."
Kaoru rolled over to face his wife. "Aw, come on Nat. You don't need to be so hard on him. Hikaru's always been bad at handling his feelings."
"I'm not being harsh, Kaoru. He treated me like garbage."
He sighed. "Alright, fine it was pretty bad. But he's getting better now."
"I know, Hun. I said that. And like I said, I have Chris to help with that now, too."
"I just think it's funny that he was so in love with our best friend for the longest time and then he ended up falling for your best friend. I kind of expected something like that to happen though. I mean they completely hit it off at our engagement dinner, remember?"
She laughed and nodded. "Yeah I did notice that. They were in their own little world the entire time! But I didn't mind. Both of them really needed that. Chris was getting on my last nerve with his little 'forever alone' pity parties he had. He kept talking about how it's sooooo much harder to find someone when you're gay. And I just kept telling him to be patient, but ya know patient just isn't in his nature."
Kaoru moved closer to Natalia and kissed her on the lips. "I'm just glad we don't have to worry about them anymore." He kissed her again, this time more passionately. "Now we can focus on us and have some real alone time now that Chris moved out of here and in with Hikaru."
She put her hand on the back of his neck and pulled him into another heated lip-lock. "Mmm. I'm really liking the sound of that. Alone time. I think I can get used to that."
"We aren't gonna go over to Tamaki and Haruhi's today, right?"
Hikaru didn't look away from the game he was playing on the television. "No. Unless you want to. I didn't really plan on going anywhere today."
Chris walked over and sat next to Hikaru. "Haven't you beaten this one already?"
"Yeah. I'm just bored so I thought I'd try and beat it faster than I did last time."
He laughed and got back up and walked over to the bathroom.
"Chris, what are you even doing in there?"
"I'm doing my hair, why?"
Hikaru didn't answer; he was too focused on the game he was playing.
A few minutes later, Chris emerged from the bathroom again with his hair matted down, a towel around his neck and a box in his hand.
"What the hell are you doing to your hair?"
"I'm dying it. Nothing drastic. I'm just lightening it a shade or two." He looked at the box in his hand. "Hey you've dyed your hair before, right?"
"Yeah, why?"
"I don't know how long to keep this in. It says all of these different times but they're all for long hair. And I don't want to overdo it."
Hikaru paused the game and looked back at his boyfriend. "Well, I have no idea how to use that cheap shit. Why'd you buy that anyways?"
Chris rolled his eyes and sat down next to Hikaru. "Well, not all of us have personal hair dressers that we can summon at the snap of our fingers, your highness."
Hikaru sighed and fell all the way back onto the couch to where he was on his back. "Why are you dying your hair anyways? I think the color it is now is fine."
"I want it to be more blond. Like not dirty blond like it is now, but like ash blond maybe."
Hikaru laughed. "You're ridiculous. You know there isn't that much of a difference between dirty blond and ash blond, right?"
"There is when you have dark dirty blond hair like me!"
He got up off the couch and walked back to the bathroom attached to the bedroom. "I'll be in the bathroom. Finish that stupid game already."
Hikaru sat up and began playing the game again.
About thirty minutes later, Chris came back into the living room and sat down next to Hikaru.
The older twin looked over at Chris and sighed. "I barely see any difference. . . "
"You're just blind then. It is definitely lighter than it was."
He sighed and turned the game off because he had just beaten it. "Alright, whatever you say."
Chris scooted closer to Hikaru and leaned against his shoulder. "You like it though, right?"
"Well yeah. I've always liked your hair. Even before you cut it. But I do have to say, I really like the short hair better."
Chris pulled Hikaru into a quick kiss. "Well, if we're on the subject of what we prefer-" He rubbed his hand over Hikaru's cleanly shaven cheek. "I don't like it when you're all clean cut like that. You should keep the stubble."
Hikaru laughed and pulled Chris back into another kiss. "Shaving is really annoying, so I think I can manage with the stubble. As long as you keep yours too."
Chris leaned into a longer kiss and smirked against Hikaru's lips. "Deal."
*Ding dong. Ding dong.*
"Who the hell is at my house this late?" Kyoya angrily sat up in bed and put his glassed on. He looked at the clock on his phone and groaned. "It's five am. Who the hell needs me at five am?"
*Ding dong. Ding dong.*
He got up slowly and eventually made his way to his front door.
"The one day I finally get to sleep early . . . If this is one of Tamaki's damn surprise visits, I'm going to kill him."
He opened the door to reveal a beautiful young woman, around the age of 25, with pale blue eyes, ivory skin, and long loose copper curls that framed her seemingly delicate face with such ease. She was about five feet six inches tall, and her smile was small but bright as she looked up at Kyoya.
"Hello, Kyoya. Sorry to wake you at this hour. I forgot about the time differences in France and Japan."
Kyoya's eyes widened. Now he was fully awake. "Samantha. What are you doing here?" He let her in the house. "I thought we weren't going to see each other again until next month.
He was so shocked that he didn't even notice that the woman's physical appearance had changed. Not her face, but her body.
Samantha sighed and brought her hands to her stomach. "Well, I know that's what we planned. But . . . the situation has changed since the last time we saw each other."
It wasn't Tamaki. But when he realized who it was and why she was there, he was kind of wishing the blond moron would have showed up instead.
Wow so yeah I had fun with that last part. This was mainly a bunch of nonsense from all of the couples.
Well except for Kyoya.
So I'm pretty sure you all can guess why the lovely Samantha is at Kyoya's house at 5 am. It really isn't that hard to tell.
So yeah the face claim I'm gonna use for Samantha (her last name is Moreau in case you were wondering) is just one that I found on google images. I couldn't find a name of the girl in the picture but this is what I see whenever I think of her (CLICK HERE)
So anyways, thanks for the continued support by reading!
