Time for family drama this one I didn't pace really well because I wanted each character to basically have a moment with Judai's mom and solidify they place in the group of friends with his mom
Johan felt kinda awkward walking with Judai Aster and Blair as the 4 headed to the front of the school to wait for everyone so they could head to Judai's. It was mostly due to the interaction back at lunch, the red rims around the Brunette's eyes haunted the werewolf.
'God, did I make him cry…?' Johan punished himself as he didnt look at his brunette crush the entirety of drama class even tho they were doing skits in drama class. It sent pain into his heart seeing Judai like that and he felt it being entirely his fault.
Aster actually got annoyed by the look on Johan's face and grabbed the male and dragged him into an empty classroom when Blair and Judai werent paying attention to them. "Get that stupid pitiful look of your face, Andersen! You look ridicuous!" Aster's rough voice broke through Johan's stupor as he looked at the silverette who was gripping his shirt.
"The hell?" Johan looked at him as Aster dropped him. "Your lucky Judai's a happy-go-lucky guy most of the time otherwise he would be worrying over how your acting." Johans thoughts ran crazy almost having an argument with himself.
"You can beat yourself up another day. Your going to Judai's today and your gonna impress his mom so much that when he tells her that he's gay, she'll be glad that you could be a possible choice for her son, alright?" Aster insisted making Johan look at the silverette in a whole new light. 'He's actually gonna help me?'
"I'm gonna help you out the best I can because damnit Johan, your a really good guy who's made that boy whole. He's been a broken mess since Bruce started hurting them in middle school. I watched him crumple in on himself to the point he was broken with a smile glued to his face. You fixed that boy. He wouldn't have never had the nerve to stand up to any one or defend anyone." Aster shook some sense into him with his words, making the emerald eye boy practically glow with confidence and charm.
"Lets go then!" He grinned wildly as he dragged Aster out of the classroom as they were the last two to meet up with everyone in front of the school. "Where the hell did you two run off to??" Stella demanded making the two sweat. "Restroom…" Both said in unison, glad they could at, at least come up with a good lie.
"Alright lets get going. My car is waiting." Aster spoke up. The group looked behind them and Judai and Hassleberry nearly fainted on the spot. Just outside the school parking lot was a white limo that looked like it could support the entire football team AND the cheersquad.
"THIS IS OVERZEALOUS!" Judai spazzed out sweating bullets as a result. Aster looked at him apathetically. "Its how I roll Judai, its just how I roll." The Silverette smirked as his driver popped the door as the group one by one climb into the leather luxury Limo.
"I think my mother will have a heart attack…" Judai paled heavily resting his head into his hand dreadingly. Johan patted his shoulder trying to give him comfort but the brunette was beyond it as the Limo took off, Chazz giving directions in place of Judai who looked like he was gonna pass out from the apparent stress he was putting himself through mentally.
"Dude your gonna give yourself a stroke if you dont chill out." Yusuke took some of the ice from the ice bucket that was weirdly chilling a bottle of champagne for some reason and shoved it down Judai's back making him scream.
"AHHHHHH ITS COLD!!!!" Judai dropped to the carpet floor trying to shake the ice out of his jacket. "I told you you needed to chill out man!" Yusuke cackled slapping his knee as Judai returned to his seat having finally gotten the ice out of his shirt.
Judai turned bright red looking away from everyone as the limo pulled up to Judai's house. "Whoaaa, your house is pretty chill." Again Yusuke commented looking at the house through the window as the group left the limo.
"Hes not wrong it very homey looking." Aster coughed awkwardly trying to find some way to compliment the house considering to him personally it looked like a shack but thats because he owned a two story.
"Sorry most of us arent rich…" Judai took the compliment but knew the intention of the subject. "T-this has nothing to do with money!" Aster stammered fumbling after being caught trying to cover up his almost insult.
Judai took his key from his pant loop and unlocked the front door. "I know most of you guys dont know this, but please take your shoes off…Mom's very traditional." Chazz Stella and Syrus remembered always having to take their shoes off when they went over to Judai's mostly when his parents were home.
Judai stepped inside undid his shoes and layed them in the foyer in front of the door before stepping up into his living room. Each one of his friends deposited their jackets bags and shoes by the door before stepping into the living room looking around at the very cozy style the Yuki's had. it was almost traditional Japanese.
"MOM! WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT REDECORATING JUST FOR GUESTS!" The brunette cried out surprised as hell by the new look of his house which was more styled japanesed rather than their more simplistic style they've been living with.
"EXCUSE ME YUKI JUDAI FOR BEING CULTURED!" His mother shouted from the kitchen as Judai started crying out in japanese confusing 3/4 of his friends while Chazz Syrus and Stella had pained looked on their face.
"This might take some time…" Chazz sweated hearing the two. It didnt take as long as Chazz expected surprising him considering a screaming match between Judai and his mother.
Suddenly a rather tall woman entered the living room wearing a very floral dress with a lavander kimono jacket over it which nearly covered her arms leaving her wrists free. her dress was a dark purple with red pink and white flowers on her dress, some of them looking like cherry blossoms. her blonde hair was wavy and swept up over her shoulders besides short bangs that covered the side of her face and her forehead nearly covering one of her green eyes.
"Konnichiwa!~ Welcome to our home!" His mom chirped out happily. Judai looked pained by his mother. She ushered them to sit around a long table that was situated on the floor were cushions were left for each of them to sit on.
"I'm so sorry guys… She does this when she wants to overly impress…" Judai rested his face in his hands again, wanting to groan at his moms overly accomidating actions.
"And you call my Limo overzealous…" Aster sent a pity look to the brunette from his seat next to Chazz. Around the table it was Judai on the end with Johan and Chazz on both his left and right side, with Aster Yusuke Stella and Hassleberry next to Chazz, with Jim Syrus and Blair next to the blue haired male.
"Your moms escentric. Its kinda refreshing seeing a parent go out of their way to be so welcoming." Jim complimented as his mom brought over many various things she cooked including Miso soup with rice and pickles, and Soba noodles with coleslaw on the side of it. "Mom you didnt have to go this far…" Judai sweated as his friends eyed the food with surprise curiosity and delight.
"This is a very nice spread Mrs Yuki." Hassleberry complimented as she brought bowls and severed each kid a bowl of the miso soup which she had in a small black warming pot. She distrubuted the miso, rice and soba accordingly before she sat down and smiled at them.
"Before you guys dig in, I'd like to say thank you so much for coming over~" his mother clapped her hands together as she sat at the free spot at the end of the table.
"My name is Yuki Maime, Judai's mom. Sorry his father couldn't be here, he sadly had a heavy work load and couldn't get away." She looked around at all of them her joy was pratically glowing.
"We're glad to have been invited, Mrs Yuki." Johan mused ruffling his hair. Judai let out a heavy sigh he was holding in. "Thanks mom… Its really nice." Judai couldnt hold back on the fact he felt slightly embarrassed but he was gonna have a good time with his friends even if it killed him.
"Juuuudai, i thought you'd be more popular with the ladies!" Judai's mom teased making Judai cough on his drink nearly gagging. "Ack! M-mother! cough D-dont talk like that!" the poor boy had to have his back slammed by Chazz and Johan, making the Brunette scream from his still lingering injures. "Agh! Too hard!" He dropped on the floor his back now throbbing.
"Your back still bothering you, Mate?" Jim looked over seeing the male on his side. "J-just a bit… G-give me a sec…" the brunette croacked out, trying to compose himself enough so he could sit up.
"What did you do to your back Judai??" his mother cried out. The others sweatted not realizing that Judai never told his mom about his scars nor his stunt the other day. "Uh… Judai fell off the back of Jim's truck.." Blair sweated.
His mother sent him a sympathetic look. "Juuudai why didnt you tell me?" The blonde looked worried but recovered when her son finally sat up taking a shakey breath.
"J-jim took care of my back while I was at their house… I was with them when I had the… Cough food poisoning!" Johan Jim and Hassleberry took the que as his lie to cover for the fact he had been unconsious for 2 days at their house.
"Oh yea Judai was very sick… We went cheap at the deli and poor fella nearly blew chunks in Jim's truck on the way back…" Johan explained sweating slightly hoping Maime would buy the lie which she didnt think nothing of it. "Bleh I told those bastards they needed to fire the cook." she grumbled accepting their words.
"So what are your names anyway." Maime's gaze lands on Blair next to Syrus. Blair smiled lightly looking nervous. "U-um. I don't know if Judai-kun ever mentioned me… or if Syrus ever did… I'm Blair Flannigan, Syrus has been my tutor in math class." the navy haired girl spoke nervously as she brushed her hair behind her shoulder. Maime giggled looking her over. "I remember now Syrus was sounded so thrilled whenever he mentioned helping you with school work."
It was time for Syrus to get bashful. "Mama Yuki!" he cried out embarrassed as Blair looked at her short friend and giggled at his bashful expression.
"Awww you two are so cute~" she giggled again as her gaze goes to Stella and grasps her hands. "Stella sweetie its soooo good to see you again!" Stella smiled joyfully looking at Maime.
"Your still as lovely as I remembered you to be, Mama Yuki. And your sweets havent stopped being scrumptious!" the brunette girl chirped rememebering when she was a kid how often Maime baked for Judai and his friends.
Maime's cheeks turned pink from smiling as she looked her over. "You grew into such a lovely girl in just a year!" She scoots over and hugs the girl, Stella returning the hug.
"Now who's mr Muscles next to you?" his mom complimented Hassleberry making the tanned male grin widely. "Kenzan Hassleberry at your service ma'am!" He slammed his fist into his chest, the smile never leaving his face.
"Ooooh an Army boy! How adorable. Your accent tells me your not from here." Hassleberry shook his head at her words. "No ma'am. I grew up here, but my family is originally from Louisiana." she clapped her hands together her eyes wide and a smile broke across her face.
"Your one of the transfers! Judai mentioned he became friends with transfer students! Your sooo precious and your accent suits you so much, Kenzan!" His mom gushes making the male get flustered. Jim waved to his mom.
"I'm Jim Cook, madam and I'm another transfer student as well. And my blue haired friend next to me is also a transfer." he gestures to Johan who was taking sips of the miso soup and turned red having been caught eatting.
"Your welcome to start eating! I'm just really dying to know my son's friends!" Judai and his friends started digging into the cuisine in front of them as Jim continued.
"Yes your poor boy fell off my truck. And like Kenzan over there, I've grown up here but Im originally from Australia." Maime nodded her head as her gaze went to Yusuke.
"Your…another one of Syrus's tutor students?" She hit the nail on the head as Yusuke nodded his purple eyes looking at Judai's mom.
"Yes, I'm Yusuke. Syrus has been helping me keep my grades up so I can finally graduate this year." He took a bit of the soba into his mouth as he explained.
"I thought so, Syrus said he was teaching an older student." She nods then her gaze lays on Aster. "Hmmm… I've seen you before. You went to middle school with them right?" Aster looked surprised that Judai's mom recognized him.
"Y-yea we had classes together. We're in Drama class and club together. And I'm trying to woo this wonderful male next to me." Aster put his arm around Chazz's shoulder who spat out his miso soup coughing and turning red.
"Blecgh!" he coughed making a horrible noise. "D-DON'T BRING IT UP SO CASUALLY YOU SILVER BASTARD!" Chazz croaked out coughing. Aster chuckled patting his back.
his mom started laughing wiping tears from her eyes. "Chazz who knew you were such a sexy creature to anybody." Chazz got blustered as he looked away from both Aster and Judai's mom as she turned attention to Johan.
"So whats your name quiet boy?" She hadnt heard Johan speak even tho she could see Judai was quietly explaining to him what she had served the group. "J-Johan… Johan Andersen." He suddenly got shy feeling Judai's mom's gaze piercing him as if trying to read him.
"Ohh your accent is so unique! Where are you from, sweetie?" Johan's emerald eyes met her green ones and he raised his voice slightly even tho he was nervous meeting his crushes mom. "Norway. My family moved here when I was younger. Jim Hassleberry and I all live together away from our folks." Maime nodded curiously.
Judai showed Johan how to use the chopsticks as the teal haired male couldnt figure it out. "Yea your getting it now." Judai smiled seeing Johan actually successfully get the soba in his mouth as he smiled at the taste.
"Mmm, its very savory." Johan chuckled as the group enjoyed the food. Maime looked at her son with surprise.
She never saw him smile like that before. 'He's finally broken out of that shell he put himself in ages ago..' her eyes went to Johan and the rest of Judai's friends.
"Please stay good friends with my son, hes a very awkward boy, but hes got a heart of gold." Maime spoke up catching their attention as Judai smiled softly at his mom at her words. "Mom, there's something i have to tell you…"
She shook her head already knowing what her sweet boy was gonna say. "Honey, if you prefer boys I'm perfectly fine with it. This is the first I've seen you this happy since you were 6 when you brought Chazz and Syrus home." She looks to Johan a small smirk on her face as if saying to him Dont hurt my boy. Johan's green eyes light up as he smiled back at his crush's mom.
"Thanks mom…" Judai murmured his gaze dropped to his food as him and his friends chatted the evening away enjoying the delicious food spread out in front of them.
