Title: Mitsukaru High
Author/Artist: snooperj & Bloodysamurai
Series/Pairing(s): TeniMyu; Mainly Takigawa Eiji x Kimeru & Shirota Yuu x Aiba Hiroki
Notes: An alternative universe type of fanfiction, my partner and I take you to how the two couples began during their days in Senior High, with Takigawa and Kimeru in their 2nd year, and Shirota and Aiba in their 1st. This fanfiction will run from that setting until Shirota and Aiba's graduation from Senior High two years later. Most of the information here are either altered, made-up or real altogether. Hints of other pairings shall also be introduced, therefore expect to be seeing other members of the TeniMyu cast to show up in this Mitsukaru Senior High setting. This is meant to serve as a prequel to our fanfiction 'Anything for You'.
Here is the 14th chapter entitled Meet the Parents. This short chapter narrates the visit of Kimeru's parents to the Takigawa residence, checking up on their son and his new 'boyfriend', scheduled on the evening of the first day of the Sportsfest.
**ALSO! None of the authors of this roleplay/fanfic own TeniMyu or the actors, but are mere fangirls of the musical series and corresponding actors we write about. Everything that progresses in the story is the creation of our witty imaginations.
Everyone eventually went their separate ways on the way home. Takigawa, Shirota, Kimeru and Aiba walked home together up to a certain point, where Shirota insisted on walking Aiba home that evening. Takigawa nodded to the younger couple before heading to his place with Kimeru hand in hand.
When they arrived, Takigawa opened the door and stepped inside and headed to attend to Q and Pearl, immediately getting started on preparing their food.
Kimeru was looking at Q and was about to take him out when the doorbell sounded off. "I'll get it!" he announced before dashing to the door and yanked it open.
Two people smiled at him from the other side which caused the young vocalist to blink and rub his eyes. He looked at the two people again and turned his head to the side. "EIJI! DID YOU FORGET TO TELL ME SOMETHING?"
Takigawa emerged from the kitchen, Pearl and Q's food placed in separate bowls in each hand before he stopped midway and saw the two people outside before bowing to them. "I did not," Takigawa stated. "I informed you that your parents were coming last week over the phone."
'Either I was bloody drunk then or I was too sleepy to let that information sink in...' Kimeru thought bitterly.
"Aren't you going to let us in, son?" The man stated with a wide smile. Kimeru sighed before stepping aside. Ryou patted his son on the head as he entered with his wife. "Takigawa-kun," he started as he smiled at the other youth. "Thanks for letting us come over."
Takigawa took only a moment to set the bowls down for the respective animal before bowing a second time. "Not at all."
Kimeru glared at his father. "A warning would have been nice," he said.
"Now now, dear, if we did that then you would have made an excuse to evade seeing us today," his mother -Shizuka- said.
The vocalist frowned. 'Exactly why I needed the advanced warning.'
"May I offer making you both some tea?" Takigawa inquired before gesturing to the couches. "And please have a seat."
"Tea sounds good, Takigawa-kun," Ryou said as he and his wife sat on the couch.
Kimeru eyed them for a while before leaning on the wall nearby.
Takigawa nodded. "If you will excuse me for a moment to prepare it, then." He turned on his heel and headed off to the kitchen before adding, "Kime, you should take a seat as well and chat with your parents for the meantime."
Kimeru muttered something before taking a seat near his parents. "So Kime~ anything interesting happen lately?" Ryou asked with a grin.
The younger looked away, a hint of a blush on his cheeks. "No...What makes you think that?" he asked.
"The fact that you're blushing, maybe?" Ryou countered.
Takigawa moved around the kitchen, preparing a tray and a few cups as a kettle sat on the stove above a low flame. 'The only thing missing from this equation is if my parents decide to visit as well...' he mused to himself as he leaned back on the counter, waiting. Takigawa shook his head.'No, it's impossible. They're probably enjoying themselves in Spain or something...'
"So how are you adjusting to living with someone, Kime?" Shizuka asked.
Her son shrugged. "It's fine..." he answered.
After a few more moments of inner debate concerning his own parents, Takigawa took the kettle of hot water off the stover and made the tea before pouring them into the four cups before heading out into the living room, setting the tray down on the coffee table. "Help yourselves," he offered before taking a seat in the nearby armchair.
Kimeru didn't even budge and continued to stare at his parents as they both reached for a cup.
"Thank you, Takigawa-kun..." Ryou said with a smile. "Now then... to business. First, we would like to thank you for taking in our misfit of a son."
"Hey!" Kimeru protested.
"...and managing to get him under control," Ryou finished.
Takigawa smiled and waved a hand in front of him before he reached out for a cup of his own. "It was no problem at all," Takigawa stated.
"I hope it's not a bother to your parents, Takigawa-kun." Shizuka said.
Takigawa shook his head. "They're updated on the situation, and they don't mind it at all," he reassured her.
"I hope to meet your parents when we get the chance, Takigawa-kun," Ryou said with a smile.
Shizuka nodded in agreement. "It would be nice to get together someday."
"I'm sure you'll meet them... eventually," Takigawa said slowly.
The three engaged in light conversation, and a few minutes later Kimeru excused himself to go to the bathroom.
Ryou followed his son with his eyes and when he was satisfied that Kimeru was gone he looked at Takigawa with a serious expression."Takigawa-kun, what kind of relationship do you have with my son?" he asked.
"A fairly close one, sir," Takigawa replied. "I'm in love with him," he added.
Ryou nodded in satisfaction. "Good good..." he said with a smile.
"I'm glad…" Shizuka added. "Though if I remember correctly, Kime didn't really like you in the past."
"Circumstances change, I suppose," Takigawa offered.
"What circumstances?" Kimeru asked as he rejoined the group.
"Of your wedding," Ryou said with a smile.
"WHAT?" Kimeru exclaimed, a furious blush on his cheeks.
Takigawa held back a chuckle.
Kimeru stood there staring at them like a fish out of water.
Shizuka smiled. "Relax Kime, your father was just teasing," he said.
"Who said I was?" Ryou teased.
Takigawa got up and moved to Kimeru, directing him to the armchair and sat him down. "Come on, snap out of it," Takigawa coaxed.
Kimeru shook his head and mentally slapped himself. "Sorry about that..." he muttered in embarrassment.
Takigawa smiled softly. "It's no problem," he stated before moving to occupy the second armchair.
Shizuka smiled when she saw this. 'It looks like he's in good hands,' she thought happily.
Ryou observed them for a while before nodding. "I heard that your grades are getting better, am I right in assuming that this is all thanks to Takigawa-kun as well?"
Kimeru nodded. "He's the one tutoring me."
"But I can only do so much," Takigawa countered. "Kimeru just has a lot of untapped potential when it comes to academics," he explained.
"That's not true!" Kimeru argued and the debate started.
Kimeru's parents watched the two of them in amusement.
Takigawa turned to Kimeru. "You're the one doing all the work. I'm just a guiding hand."
"Guiding hand my foot..." Kimeru said. "If you didn't tutor me I'd be failing all my subjects like last year!"
Takigawa brought a finger up. "Fine, then. If you don't want me using the term 'guiding hand', I'll use the term 'overseer of your academic progress.' How does that sound?"
Kimeru shook is head. "Try all mighty tutor," he said with a sly grin.
"Anything but that," Takigawa pressed.
Kimeru thought for a minute. "Life saver?" he tried.
Takigawa shrugged. "Oh, whatever you like," he said, bringing both hands up in surrender.
Kimeru chuckled. "Then all mighty tutor it is~" he said in triumph.
Takigawa shrugged before resorting to finish his tea.
Ryou cleared his throat to catch their attention. "Are you two done?" he asked slyly.
Takigawa simply nodded, setting his cup back down on the tray.
"We'd love to stay, but I'm afraid we have to take care of something for tomorrow," Shizuka said. "We will keep in touch with the both of you."
Ryou nodded before standing up, his wife doing the same. "We will leave our son to you, anything happens, you know how to reach us."
Takigawa stood as well, bowing. "Hai. You'll be the first to know," he informed them as he straightened up and moved to the door to open it for them.
"Do try and contact us once in a while Kime," Shizuka said and Kimeru nodded.
"I will..." he promised.
With another bow, the two headed off.
As the door closed Kimeru glared at Takigawa. "And you didn't remind me that they were coming, why?" he asked.
Takigawa moved to clean up the tray and bring it back into the kitchen. "Because I was under the assumption that you were aware of the fact already," he replied.
Kimeru frowned. "If I was then I would have made an excuse not to be here..." he muttered.
Takigawa smiled before moving into the kitchen. "My apologies, then."
Kimeru sighed and waved a hand. "It's fine. What's done is done." he said. "Besides...I was interested to find out how they would react to you anyway."
Takigawa set the tray down by the sink and emerged from the kitchen, leaning on the doorway. "Then you should look forward to meeting my parents... Whenever they decide to visit."
Kimeru blinked. "Your parents?" he repeated in slight surprise. "...just warn me ahead of time so that I can make myself presentable at the very least."
Takigawa shrugged. "I'd be surprised myself if I can manage that," he stated truthfully.
Kimeru blinked. "And why is that?" he inquired.
"They... enjoy surprise visits," Takigawa stated.
Kimeru frowned. "That's reassuring," he muttered sarcastically. "I guess this just means that I should make myself presentable at all times…"
Takigawa beamed, nodding. "Aa."
Kimeru looked down at his clothes and frowned. "I need a change of wardrobe..." he muttered.
Takigawa gestured to the stairs. "By all means, then," he offered.
Kimeru chuckled and shook his head. "I meant entire wardrobe and not just what I'm wearing now," he explained as he walked over to Takigawa. "I want something more...daring..." he said with a sly grin.
Takigawa took a tentative step back. "Daring?" he repeated.
Kimeru nodded and took a step forward as he placed a finger on Takigawa's cheek and used it to trace a path to the man's chest. "Yeah...daring..." he repeated with a smirk. "Something like...oh I don't know...absolutely nothing, perhaps?"
Takigawa felt his cheeks heat up, backing up before falling back onto the couch. "Uh... right..." he muttered, averting his gaze.
Kimeru smirked in victory before placing his hands on either side of Takigawa, just above the shoulders. "I think someone here needs a little prize for playing well earlier, don't you think?" he asked teasingly.
The blush on Takigawa's cheeks intensified before he said, "It's your call..."
"Then allow me to congratulate you properly for a job well done," Kimeru said before leaning down to kiss Takigawa on the lips.
Takigawa slowly closed his eyes, responding to the kiss before subconsciously wrapping his arms around the other boy's waist.
Kimeru pulled back and rested his forehead against Takgawa's. "I'd love to give you more but unfortunately we still have something to attend to tomorrow," he said before standing back up.
Takigawa nodded. "We do... We'll be dealing with Shirotan's sport this time around..." he stated before he moved to get up as well before he was wrestled back onto the couch by the Yorkshire who had surprised him, licking him affectionately.
"Someone's been jealous~" Kimeru teased as he watched the scene.
Takigawa chuckled as he pulled Pearl at arm's length. "Yes, it seems so," he noted, sitting back up. "Don't worry, Pearl. You won't be ignored."
Kimeru chuckled before glancing at the clock. "I'll just be upstairs so that you two can have your quality time."
Takigawa nodded gratefully to Kimeru before he attended to Pearl, who was waiting eagerly for the attention.
Once upstairs, Kimeru took out the guitar that was lent to him by Furukawa that he always placed in the other boy's room. He strummed it and got to work, trying to finish the song he was writing.
In the Shirota residence, Yuu had locked his bedroom door to avoid his brother Jun's distractions as he set up the possible formations his class could use for tomorrow's games.
Aiba was studying the pictures that were taken during that day and grinned as he looked at a certain picture. After a quick debate with himself he clicked on the picture and turned it into his desktop wallpaper.
Shirota sat back and stretched his arms. "Yosh! Finally done!" he exclaimed to himself, setting his pencil down and rose to his feet. "Now we should get a good night's rest for tomorrow~" he said, turning off the table lamp and crossing the room to his bed before settling into it.
Takigawa, after playing with Pearl enough, sent the Yorkshire to bed as he moved to head upstairs as well.
Kimeru, for one reason or another, was already asleep on the futon that he usually occupied.
Takigawa smiled at the sight, fixing the blanket over the sleeping boy, leaning over and giving him a quick kiss on the forehead before moving to get ready for bed as well.
Kimeru rolled over and managed to grab Takigawa by the leg, muttering something in his sleep.
Takigawa stumbled, falling to his knees as he looked over his shoulder to Kimeru, furrowing his brow. He shook his head. 'Honestly...'
Kimeru muttered something again before reaching up and grabbing Takigawa by the shirt before pulling him down.
"Ki-" Takigawa was cut short when he was pulled down, a furious blush on his cheeks now.
Satisfied with the warm body that was now beside him, Kimeru stopped muttering things and snuggled up to Takigawa.
Takigawa sighed, smiling softly before deciding not to protest anymore and settled in to sleep as well.
TO BE CONTINUED. :D
We look forward to your reviews and possible suggestions. :)
