12: Advice
"U-uhmm… would you l-like to go to the dance with me?" he stuttered, STUTTERED! 'I've been in here for two hours talking to myself in the mirror and I couldn't even finish the sentence without stuttering! Damn, I feel like an idiot'
If he really is like his father then this wouldn't be a problem at all, but his mother just have to fuel him. Not that he blames his mother, no; he loves his mother very much. She is caring, loving, honest, and trustworthy, gives all her effort, always there for you, and the best of all, she never gives up on you. He looks up to her; so why is he wondering why his type of girl is like his own mother? Oh woe is he.
He sighed, 'If I was like dad, this would be just a snap. Wait, that's it! Dad!'
The fifteen year old male snapped his fingers and rushed to his parent's room. His mom isn't in the house and he's pretty sure his father's working in his desk. And he's right.
"Dad?" he knocked on the door.
"Enter" the door screeched slightly open and without turning to his son, he continued typing and said, "What is it son?"
"I just wanna know how you asked mom out"
Hearing this, the prodigy stopped typing and finally looked over to his son "Why do you want to know?"
"I-I'm just c-c-curious"
"Were you been practicing in your room trying to ask a girl out to the spring formal without stuttering but only to fail epically for two hours?"
"W-wha- how did you know?!" his father smirked when he saw his son blush.
"You may be like me mentally and physically, but you got your personality from your mother. And I know your mother very much. You two are like an open book"
His son looked away in embarrassment.
"Don't be embarrassed." Swiveling his chair around, he faced his son and crossed his arms "To answer your question, I didn't ask your mother out."
"Huh?"
His father sighed "I loved your mother ever since we were children and I've been trying to get her to notice my feelings for years. However, your mother was just too dense to even notice the most obvious moves I did. It almost drove me insane"
"Mother's really that dense, huh?"
"Yes, but that didn't stop me from loving her"
"Then how did you two got together?"
"It's a long story, but let's just say that I confessed then your aunts and uncles, especially your aunt Sakura, set us up and trapped us in one of her haunted dungeons. Your mother confessed to me back and we've been together ever since."
"But… I didn't spent years with someone like you did"
"Kai" he called his son's attention and the boy looked back at his father "I owed everything to your mother for giving color to my dull life. So if your mother was here I'm sure the advice she would give you is, 'Just be yourself'. If you have to pretend to be someone you're not for somebody, then that person doesn't deserve you because they can't accept who you are"
Takishima Kai digested his father's words thoroughly. He's always known that his father was a ruthless businessman until he and his mother became official. The eldest smiled inwardly, now that just made him praise his mother more.
'She really is amazing'
"Thanks dad" he smiled and Kei stood up and ruffled his son's head.
"Good, now go. I still have to fetch your mother from your grandmother's"
A week later, Takishima Hikari was adjusting her son's tie when Kei came up to them.
"Kai, the limousine is ready, you can go ahead now"
"Thanks Dad" his mother leaned in to kiss her son's cheek and the boy flustered "Mom!"
Hikari giggled and shooed her son out the door
"You go on ahead now, dear. Wouldn't want to keep your date waiting." When Kai opened the door, she added, "Have fun now! Be home before midnight!"
"Mom, I'm not a kid anymore" Kai sighed and Hikari raised her brow at him "I mean, yes mom"
His mother smiled at him and both of his parents waved him goodbye but as he opened the car, he turned and smiled a smile similar to Hikari's "By the way mom, thanks for the advice"
But before Hikari could ask, the eldest Takishima slipped inside the car and went off. Hikari looked at her husband, who has his arm draped around his waist, and asked "What did your son mean by 'thanks for the advice'?"
However, Kei only smiled at his wife and kissed her fully on the lips.

"Hey Hikari" started a thirteen-year old Takishima Kei. "If a guy would want to ask someone out, how would they do it?"
"Huh? Why are you asking me that? Do you like someone Takishima?"
At that statement, a vein popped on his head 'How could you pick up at that so easily when I've been trying to get your attention for years? Why are you so dense Hikari?'
"Something like that"
"Oh, well, hmmm…. Then I guess that you should just be yourself. If that someone is the one for you, then they would accept you for who you are. You don't have to pretend for someone else to like you back"
And just as everything Hikari said to Kei, those words will always be carved in his heart till the end of time.
