- Day 44: School reunion-
Usui apartment
8 am
Misaki had awoken earlier than Takumi to prepare breakfast for him. She planned to start it off as an apology for making him worry about her well-being. She didn't mean to have him questioning how much work she could handle and how much rest she was getting. Misaki understood why he was getting so upset. Her mother often expressed how she wished Misaki didn't have to work in the past and her father apologised countless times.
However, she never regretted working to provide for her family. She would do it over a thousand times if she needed too. She loved working. What she needed to do was considered her health and from now on she would. Misaki wouldn't overwork her body anymore.
For breakfast, she made pancakes, scrambled eggs and sausages. It was something very simple and easy she could prepare for him. Everything was all done and all she needed to do was place it in the plates.
"Misa?"
She screamed when she heard Takumi's voice behind her unexpectedly. Misaki didn't hear when he approached her because she was so focus on putting together the breakfast.
"Good morning," Takumi greeted wrapping his arms around her waist. He kissed her cheek then rested his chin on her shoulder peering down at what she was preparing.
He was surprised to see that it was breakfast because he was the one who normally woke up early to prepare it. Was this her truce offering?
"I made you breakfast, my mom would be proud. Nothing is burnt or on fire. I don't know why I couldn't get this done before," Misaki stated placing the food from the pans to the plate. "Of course, I'm not an expert like you but one day I'll get there."
"I would gladly eat anything you prepare for me. Good or bad," He stated.
Misaki sighed hearing his words. "Of course you would."
"I'm sorry Takumi, for making you worry. I promise I'll try better in the future. Old habits die hard so just bare with me while I try to change those habits,"
"Okay," he answered massaging her body with his hands. He wouldn't expect her to stop being a workaholic in a day. It took time and he didn't mind waiting. She was willing to change due to his concerns and he would do the same if she had any.
He was glad they were able to express their feelings, understand each others point of view and talk it out.
6pm.
It was time for the school reunion for their year group. Misaki and Takumi arrived at Seika where the reunion was being held. They both wore white as instructed on the invitation. It had been some time since they both visited the school.
Seika's image had definitely changed. Misaki's vision of having more girls attend the school had come true. The school wasn't filled with delinquents anymore and had a better reputation than it did when she first attended. Misaki was proud of her old high school.
Entering the school hall they saw many familiar faces and some they couldn't remember at all. Misaki knew Sakura wouldn't be attending today because she was with Yume and Yuri. Shizuko said she would be running late.
"Misaki!" Her name was called loudly by a woman in the hall. Everyone's attention seemed to turn to her. They were all interested in seeing the demon president again.
The women were the first ones to rush to her side.
"Misaki you look so beautiful."
"I saw your wedding in a magazine."
"Our high school hero is here. I tell my husband about you."
"Prez and Takumi are one of the few high school sweet hearts here today," someone in the crowd said.
Misaki was amazed they were still calling her prez. It had been ten years since she was the student council president after all.
"It's good to see everyone again," She stated happy to see her old classmates. A wave of memories came rushing back into her mind.
"You're a diplomat now. As expected from the president," one of the men who joined the crowd said.
"If you didn't chase me down to get in classes I don't know if I would have finished school," Another one stated rubbing the back of his head. "Thank you."
"Thank you prez!" Everyone cheered.
Misaki awkwardly bowed taking in all their compliments. She wasn't expecting this tonight.
"My wife is a hero," Takumi said seeing how flustered she was becoming.
"Yo Takumi! Long time no see. We should play ball and catch up," Some guy suggested.
"No," Takumi bluntly answered.
"Distant as always," The men all sulk.
Meanwhile.
"Hey, why are all of our classmates talking about a reunion?" Ikuto questioned looking at the pictures they were posting.
"Who cares about it?" Kurotatsu stated not knowing why Ikuto would be interested in seeing people who were now strangers.
"Run over there if you miss them," Naoya said. He threw away the invitation when he got it.
Ikuto gasp seeing someone stand out amongst the others in pictures. "M-Misaki is there."
"What?!" Both Kurotatsu and Naoya exclaimed.
A\N: I apologise for the long wait but typing on a tablet with my clumsy fingers has been annoying. Aside from that, when I see videos of maid sama they list it as popular guy likes girl or whatever, and claim that Misaki wasn't popular. I'm always confused by this because for me, Misaki was popular. What do you think? Updating monday (hopefully :-P)
Yes I am typing out Innocent Romance.
