Decision at Christmas
Chapter 4: Their First Formal Meeting
Kudou Youji was walking around Harajuku while his eyes were searching for women around him. He had seen many beautiful women that day but he didn't know why he had some strange feelings. Somehow, he wanted to meet that guy again. The guy who bumped into him a couple of hours before. He wanted to see those blue orbs, blonde hair and especially the sweet smile again. He never had that feeling before. Suddenly his eyes caught a perfect figure in the bookstore. A wide smile was carved on his face when he realized who the figure was. Bingo, thought the playboy.
He opened the door and approached the target. His brain suddenly stopped his movements. Wait. If I say I wanted to meet him again and I was SEARCHING for him before, it'll ruin my reputation. Now c'mon Youji, think! Your genius brain will get reason. A perfect one... thought Youji. He was too busy with his brain to find the perfect reason when suddenly a genki voice was heard.
"Ara? Isn't that Youji-san?" said the voice. The tall blonde turned around and his emerald eyes widened in surprise when he saw his 'target' was smiling widely to him. "Yup! Ten points for me! Now, what are you doing in here, Youji-san?" asked Omi cheerfully. The playboy smacked himself for not finding the perfect reason sooner. He was just wanted to open his mouth to say something when the shorter guy spoke first.
"Ah! How could I be so stupid? Of course you're here for buying books, right?" the little blonde exclaimed with a wide grin on his face. Youji just nodded. Lucky
He didn't have to search the perfect reason. Perfect? No, it wasn't perfect at all! Look, if Kudou Youji came to the bookstore and going to buy some BOOKS, not hentai magazines, then it would be one of those Wonders of The World. The Eighth one. But he had to look perfect in front of his victim, didn't he?
"So, nice to meet you here, Tsukiyono-san. Are you buying some books too?"
"Yeah. But I have finished my business in this store. So I think I'll go home now. What about you?"
"Well, I was thinking about having my dinner around here. Hey, how about having dinner together with me? Do you mind? Or have you had your dinner all ready?"
The shorter blonde shook his head and said, "No, I haven't. Of course I don't mind for having dinner with you. Well, I'll pay these books first. Could you wait for a moment?"
"Sure," answered the playboy immediately. He didn't mind about canceling all of his dates, as long as the boy wanted to have a 'date' with him. Sometimes he couldn't believe his own luck. Think about it. A couple hours ago, he had six dates that night, but just with ordinary ladies they were. And now, he would have a special dinner, with special guy, in a special moment of course. The lanky-blonde smirked slightly when he saw the cheerful guy paid his books. He was going to have the most remarkable moment in his life and he was absolutely sure he would enjoy it.

"All right, Ken-san. There were few things you should remember when you meet your mother in law. Now, let's see. About your fiancé, I believe you want to show him the best part of yours. So, now please stand up and show me what you will say and do when you meet him for the first time," asked Bradley Crawford to his 'student': Ken Hidaka. Ken cursed Brad secretly when he heard this. This man is really an ass-hole!
"Well?" The glasses man demanded an answer.
"Dunno. Perhaps 'Hello, Mrs. Fujimiya. There is one thing I need to ask you. How could you get this crazy idea about marrying me with your damn cow son?'" answered Ken lazily.
"Of course you can't ask her that question, Ken-san! Oh my, it seemed all of my lessons which I taught you before were useless." So why don't you just leave?! thought Ken. Unfortunately, it seemed Brad didn't have any will to leave him. Ken was ready to die when he heard Bradley voice again.
"Well, now would you repeat all the lessons I taught you in the last three days? Lets start from how to eat salad properly," said Bradley with a smirk. AGAIN?! Ken couldn't do anything except did as Brad's will. The brunette remembered his first meeting with this man.
-Flashback-
"Young Master, your mother wants to meet you in the living room now. She said she needed to talk to you." Ken heard Shin's voice one day. The butler bowed to him politely. Ken stood up. He wondered why his mother called him. Most of the time, it was his mother who came into his room and talked to him. He made his own way to the living room and saw his mother talked with a stranger which Ken had never met before. He greeted his mother and gave a kiss on her cheek.
"So, what's up Mom?" asked Ken, pretended to be cheerfully.
"Ken, I want you to meet Mr. Bradley Crawford," answered Mrs. Hidaka and nodded to the stranger. Ken extended his hand and said 'Hidaka Ken' to the man he faced. Crawford stood up and shook Ken's hand.
"Bradley Crawford," said the man before sat down again.
"Ken this Mr. Crawford will be your teacher on your lesson of manners. He is professional in this problem. I believe Mr. Crawford will help you on renovating your behaviors," explained Mrs. Hidaka specifically. Ken's eyes widened before he nodded. He had thought of something like this before although he had never expected that this lesson would be taught by a man, and a very business-like one! The younger guy looked at his new 'teacher' and studied him better. Bradley wore black suits, black tie, black trousers and black shoes. This guy was tall and he wore glasses too. Ken figured he was about 27 years old or so.
"Well, then. I think you two better start your lessons now. You'll have a room to do it. Shin, please guide them into the library," Mrs. Hidaka broke the silence. Shin took a step forward, nodded and answered "Yes, Ma'am." The guys stood up and followed the butler while Mrs. Hidaka left the living room. They arrived at the room at last. Sometimes, Ken spent his time in the library, did his papers. The Hidaka's library was big, very big. It was bigger and more complete than the library in Ken's college. That was why Ken and Omi often did their papers in here.
The butler left the two guys alone. They took the seats and Brad's voice broke the silence.
"Ken-san, I heard your problems from your mother. You're being married off with another guy, which none of you have met each other before." Ken nodded and Brad continued.
"Honestly, I never had a student who had such a problem like this entire my life. This is the most unique and strange problems I ever faced. And for your information, this is the first time I have a gay student." Okay. This sentence is enough to made Ken's blood boil.
"Shit! Why everybody think I'm gay? All right, let me tell you! I am not and won't be gay!! Honestly, I don't want to study manners, and I won't!! Now I want you to get out from my library! NOW!!"
"I think I start to understand why your mother asked me to teach you manners. According to these reports, you're a clumsy, unconfident person, have hot temperament and you have a 'wonderful' mouth, which sometimes you use it to say about ungrateful things." Ken saw Bradley held a piece of paper.
"What the hell are you talking about? What…reports?"
"Your mother gave me this." Bradley wove the paper in front
of Ken's nose. The brunette tried to grab it but he failed due to Brad's reflex
–which much more better than Ken's.
"Whoops! You may not read this, Ken-san. This is my client's secret," said Crawford with a smirk. The hazel eyes widened in shock.
"Well, I think we better start our lesson now."
"Didn't I tell you that I won't study them?"
"Actually, it's up to you, Ken-san. If you don't study manners with me, I doubt your Mother will allow you to have those soccer things."
Ken prayed secretly in his heart, why I have to do this? Kami-sama, please forgive all of my sins. I promise I'll pray seven hours non-stop a day if You help me to get out from this…
-End of Flashback-

Omi was doing his papers when he heard his cell phone vibrates. He quickly looked at the screen and saw Youji's name. He smiled slightly before he answered it.
"Moshi-moshi?"
"Omi? It's me, Youji."
"Ah, hello Youji-san. Is there anything I could help?"
"Actually I want to ask you for another dinner with me. Tonight at eight o'clock. How about at Canton Restaurant?"
"That Chinese Food one?"
"Yup."
"Sure, I think I'll love it."
"Well, until eight o'clock then."
"Bye," said Omi. He stood up and jumped several times before he got back to his papers. He didn't do it with Ken that time. The brunette said he had to study something he didn't want at all so he couldn't do it with him. Omi wondered what was it but he couldn't do anything at all.

"Ken, are you ready honey? We don't want be late to meet your fiancé, do we?" Ken heard his mother spoke slowly at the back of the door. Ken huffed softly before looked at the mirror for the last time, to make sure he didn't miss anything. He wore his favorite dark green T-shirt, grey and green jacket, brown trousers, white socks, and of course his soccer shoes. He smiled slightly as he watched his own reflection. Okay, he was perfect right now. Somehow, he felt strange and nervous. Ken himself wondered why.
The Young Master remembered his dream last night. Unfortunately or perhaps fortunately, he dreamed about the red-haired guy he met in the café a couple days ago. The guy spoke at him lovingly, and asked him about some kind of…date. They went to the museum. Can you believe that? A museum! Ken Hidaka walked with this adorable guy to a museum and that guy considerate it as a date?! Well, the red head seemed to enjoy their 'date' so Ken had not the heart to complain about it. After went to the museum, they continued their 'date' to lunch. This guy chose an expensive sushi restaurant. Then, they went to the library… Well, you could imagine what happened in the library, right?
All right, back to the present. Being married off with someone you didn't know at all wasn't normal, was it? He took a deep-long breath before convincing himself that everything would be all right. The brunette left his room and made his own way towards the living room, where his parents were waiting for him. When he came in the room, he saw them sitting on the coach, with the head family's right arm circled his wife's shoulder lovingly. The Young Master raised an eyebrow. He didn't know his parents were this romantic.
"Hey, there sonny! Here you are at last! Well, let's go then!" greeted Youzen Hidaka cheerfully, and then stood up. His wife looked at her son carefully before said,
"Well, I guess you didn't look bad, Ken! In fact, you looked wonderful and amazing!" Ken grunted at his mother's words. He didn't believe his mother's words at all, especially after that 'just-all ready nine o'clock' accident. They got in the limousine -with Yuki at the driver seat- and went towards the Jade Crystal Dragon Restaurant, which was the most expensive restaurant in Tokyo. On their way there, the only one who spoke were only Ken's parents, while himself was just sitting and hoped that the strange knot in his stomach would disappear soon.
Anyway, they arrived at last and got out from the car. The waiters immediately approached them with their famous 'welcome smile'. The head of the family asked whether the Fujimiyas had come all ready or not. The manager of the restaurant nodded, said they had and guided them into the suite room. They booked it for this first meeting. Ken followed the manager unwillingly. Strange knot in stomach hadn't disappeared, and Ken felt it was getting worse. He took long-deep breath for the seventh time that night and came into the suite room. It was quiet nice in there. It seemed so white. The wall painted white. The door, floor, and even the ceiling were painted in white. Ken saw few pictures hang on the wall. There was a white large round table, and five white seats were placed around it. Ken wondered why there were only five seats there.
The hazel eyes looked around the room and their owner felt a huge shock when he saw another table placed in the corner. This one was smaller than the round table. It was square, and it had two seats. The brunette huffed before he heard his mother spoke.
"This is a great pleasure to meet you, Mrs. Fujimiya." Ken approached to his mother. Honestly, he wanted to get out from the room as soon as possible, but Brad's word about act-politely-when-you-meet-your-would-be-mother-in-law echoed in his mind. Mrs. Fujimiya smiled at Mrs. Hidaka politely and looked at Ken then said,
"Ah, is this Ken Hidaka?"
"Yes. This is my son, Mrs. Fujimiya," answered Youzen Hidaka cheerfully.
"You looked absolutely adorable." Ken heard the head of Fujimiya's voice. He looked at the Fujimiyas and smiled.
"Yoroshiku Mr. and Mrs. Fujimiya."
"Well, this is our daughter, Aya Fujimiya," said Mrs. Fujimiya, nodded to a girl behind him. The girl took a step forward and smiled to Ken. She had a black long hair and pale white skin. She's cute thought Ken secretly. I wonder how her brother looks like.
"Now, where is your son, Makoto?" asked the head of Hidaka.
"He went to the bathroom a while ago. Perhaps he's nervous to meet his fiancé," answered Makoto. His words soon followed by laughter from everybody in the room even Ken who laughed with his most unwillingly tone. The Young Master of Hidaka sighed slowly. It was nice when you know that you're not the only one who nervous, wasn't it? He heard the door opened behind him. His back faced the door so he couldn't look who was come.
"Nii-san!" Aya's voice suddenly heard. Ken froze at these words. Okay, now it's time to meet him. Remember; don't be nervous. He took a long deep breath for the last time before turned back. Ken felt his jaws dropped to the ground in a second later. Is he my fiancé? Ohmygosh
~~~~~~~~~
AN: Okay, let's take a look from Ran's side, before he met Ken that night.
Ran Fujimiya washed his hands again for the fifth time in the bathroom that night. He took at his own reflection in the mirror. He saw himself wore turtleneck shirts, leather jacket trousers, which all of them were colored in black, and his brand new shoes. He didn't know what was wrong with him. He felt strange…and some kind of nervous. Nervous? Ran Fujimiya, the coldest and the most genius guy in his college was nervous? He sighed slowly before made his own way to the suite room. It was eight o'clock and the Hidakas were supposed to arrive at seven thirty.
On his way there, he remembered his dream last night. He talked to the adorable brunette he met in Pisa's café few days ago and he asked him to go for a date. He let the brunette to choose the place. And he decided to go to the stadium!! Ran couldn't do anything to avoid the brunette's wishes. He spent three hours in stadium with people around him were screaming, jumping and yelling with excitement, while himself was having a headache. After that, he and the brunette went to go for lunch. His date chose hamburger restaurant… Ran, who never ate hamburger before, asked for knife and fork to the waiter. But the brunette was laughing at him! Then, after had their lunch, the brunette wanted to go to the sports mall!! The red head guy had never gone to any sports mall all of his life! If he wanted to buy something, the sellers were the one who came to his residence, not he went to their stores.
Okay, back to the present. He took a long-deep breath before he opened the door. He heard Aya's voice called him. He nodded and saw Mr. and Mrs. Hidaka. And behind them, he saw someone with brown hair. Perhaps this guy is my fiancé...Well, don't be nervous, Ran. Everything will be all right. He saw the guy turned around and his breath was stopped for a moment. What a coincidence...
