Meeting your lover's parents was never a fun thing to do. Especially when your lover's parents were immature, hyper, identical twin sisters who you never had a hope of telling apart. Suoh didn't even know which one was Akira's actual mother... Hell, he doubted if even Akira knew which one had given birth to him. Yes, meeting the parents was never a fun thing to do...

"So cute!"

...Especially when they hovered and screamed in his ear, trying to blind him with the flashing of their camera. Suoh thought he would surely be blind by the time this night was over and in his desperation, he looked over to were Akira was sitting next to him. "Make them stop. Please?"

Akira smiled and shook his head. "Now you know how I felt when I met your mother," he giggled, sending his mothers into another hyperactive squeal of excitement as the camera flashed. "At least my parents aren't throwing things at you."

Suoh winced and edged closer to Akira. "She was testing you," he whined. "And you did dodge it. At least she didn't threaten to blind you!" FLASH. "Why are they trying to blind me?" he asked, blinking in an attempt to restore at least part of his vision.

"So the designer can see what you look like, of course!" one twin shrieked. Suoh wasn't even about to guess which one... wait did they even tell him their names? He didn't think so. Odd that.

Wait a minute...

"Designer?" Suoh asked nervously. Akira giggled beside him. "Akira, do you know anything about this?"

Akira shrugged, somehow managing to completely ignore the flashing lights. Suoh thought it was a miracle Akira had such good vision if this is what he had to put up with while growing up. "I saw some fashion magazines from England and Paris on the table in the hall. That's probably what they meant."

FLASH.

"Why are they taking pictures and what does it have to do with a foreign fashion designer?" he asked, finding that if he focus solely on Akira that he could almost manage to ignore everything else. Akira just blinked and smiled innocently at him... and Suoh knew he was in trouble.

One mother paused in her flashing - and that sounded so wrong that Suoh wasn't even going to think on it - and answered him in an almost mature voice. "We're sending your pictures to him so he can get an idea of what you'll look best in!" Then she started jumping in excitement. "We were thinking greens and silvers but-"

"- he's the expert," the other twin interrupted. "He would know better than we would. And his clothes are so lovely that I-"

"-know you two will look absolutely gorgeous in his designs!"

Suoh blinked and decided that he would never get used to twins. "Uh, why are you having clothes designed for us?" he asked, almost dreading the answer.

"For the wedding, of course!" the shrieked before going back to their flashing... and again that sounded so wrong.

Suoh blinked in confusion for a few moments before realizing that Akira looked slightly guilty. Suoh had a bad feeling. "Akira, love... what wedding?"

Akira flinched and began inching away from his angry lover. "Well, we are living together and if they thought we were doing anything and you had no plans to get married... well..." He shrugged.

Suoh stared. "What?" he hissed.

Akira stared at his lap. "Look on the bright side, Suoh."

"What bright side?"

"Well," Akira answered quietly, "I managed to convince them that we were going to wait until I graduated High School before getting married. That gives us a few years..."

Suoh sighed, realizing he was upsetting his lover. "It's ok, Akira. It just caught me by surprise, is all."

FLASH.

"If they know it will be a few years," Suoh growled. "Then why are they taking pictures now!"

Akira giggled. "I think they were bored."

Suoh groaned, burying his head in his hands. He was right...

FLASH.

...this was so not fun.
