To say that Hanato was a grouchy person who you should never, under any circumstances, talk to when he hasn't had his morning coffee, was an understatement. There were, of course instances where Hanato would change, if only to solve the problem at hand, such as pretending to be a smart, perfect student, to get into a good college.
Unfortunately, that has never, ever applied to his younger sister.
"Oi!" A feminine, yet arrogant voice sneered. "Are you evening listening, you idiot brother of mine?"
Hanato shifted his eyes to glare at the female in front of him. "Ichigo," he replied, his voice edged with annoyance. "I will not fucking drive for you or your friends." He turned his back as his sister began to redden with anger.
"What?" She screeched. "What do you mean you won't drive me? It's freaking STARISH's concert! You know, the one our bloody mother manages?"
Hanato rolled his eyes. "I know you're stupid retard, but I'm not." He showed her his keys. "Where do you think I'm going, huh?"
His sister reddened even more, if that was even possible. "Then why won't you take me with you?" She screamed at his retreating form.
"Because, I don't wanna." He shouted as he went out the door.
"I'm telling dad!" His sister screamed and stomped on the floor.
"Good luck getting to him in the first place!" Hanato replied as he started the engine of his car. He smirked and leaned back, placing one of his hands on the wheel, as he heard his sister scream in frustration.
The concert went just as it was supposed to- perfect. To celebrate, the whole crew did what everyone of legal age and not-so-legal age did after a job well done.
Go to a bar and get drunk.
Hanato sighed and took a sip from his beer. He wasn't 21 at all- he was only 19, in fact. But, fuck it, his parents (and pretty much everyone else who was involved with the concert) were batshit drunk anyway. He looked over to where his said parents were- in another table, because Masato said, "The children can't see us druunnk! We need to be good exaammplees!" He was, of course, half way drunk, as his team members were, but their children had complied anyway.
That's how he ended up in this situation- on his third beer and on a quiet table with four other minors. He sighed and took a sip again as he scanned the other members of the table.
Ittoki Touya, he remembered, was a man who used to go to the same school as him, though Touya was a year younger. Hanato scanned his memory, remembering tidbits of information, particularly about Ichinose Kiyori. They were always seen fighting, seemingly as if they hated each other with passion, though their blushes and shy glances they think no one sees, say otherwise. Touya seemed out of his usual persona of a happy go lucky kid instead being a quiet, serious young adult, though that could be blamed on the four empty beer bottles beside him.
"Heeeyyyy~ Tooo*hic*kiiiiiii~!" A boisterous voice drunkenly said. Hanato turned his attention to STARISH's table. He smirked as Touya snapped back from wonderland and turned to glare at his father (who was currently holding a very annoyed Ichinose in a death hug).
"Otoya," a calmer, soberer voice said in monotone, though just a tiny little bit of annoyance slipped through. "Let go of me." The red-head let go of him with a drunken giggle.
"Tokiii~ Guess what I learned today~!" The red-head giggled even more. Touya glared at his father even more. "Ya know my booyyy Touuuyaa, riiiggghhht?" Otoya pointed at Touya from across the room. "Annndd you know Ichinosee Kiyyooorii, riiggghttt? Y-you know, Tokinyan's kidddd?"
"Yes, Otoya," Tokiya sighed tiredly. "I know your child, and I know my own child."
Otoya seemed ready to burst. "Buh- but didja know th-thzat they're officially a couuupllle nowww~?" He laughed and choked out. Hanato's mother clapped way too enthusiastically.
If looks could brutally murder someone, Ittoki Otoya would have been one bloody corpse and Ittoki Touya would have been sent to jail for physical assault and homicide.
"You. Are. A. Dead. Piece. Of. Meat. To. Be. Fed. To. Sharks." Touya hissed, his body violently shaking.
"Congraaaatssss!" Haruka clapped. "When's thza wedding?"
"Yeah!" Ringo held his beer up. "Thzis calls for a cheers!"
"KAMPAAIIII!" They all cheered. Hanato chuckled as Touya buried his face in his hand.
Tokiya stood.
"Aw shit..." Someone whispered.
Tokiya walked over to Touya. "Ittoki Touya,"
"Yes?" Touya gave a muffled replied. He looked up and paled. "Uh, oh, um, M-Mr. Ichinose-san, sir?" He stuttered out.
"You..." Tokiya placed his hand on Touya's shoulder, making him jump. "You... Will take care of Kiyori, won't you?"
"Y-y-y-y-yes!" Hanato chuckled as the red-head fainted after Tokiya turned his back.
"Idiot." The female beside Touya snickered. Hanato shifted his attention to the female, Jinguji Rin, who was siping a martini. She went to the same University as he did, though the female was a year older.
"The fool got what he deserved." Shinomiya Satsuki snorted. The man, usually silent and unemotional, was now snarky and snide. Then again, he did have a half empty bottle of vodka beside him...
Hanato looked to the last member of the minors table. The young woman with blue locks has yet to say something, instead sipping deciding to sip her sake quietly. Hijirikawa Mai, he recalls, went to a private all-girls academy. He tilted his head, curious to hear her input.
Maiko, sensing his stare, looked at the passed out red-head with a criticizing glare. "I used to wonder how he and Touko could be related, much less twins." She went back to sipping her sake quietly. "Now I wonder how I survived being friends with her."
Hanato chucked inwardly. He had met the girl Mai was talking about, a long time ago. It had happened when he had picked up his bratty sister from the Ittoki's, back when he was sixteen. He parked his car and waited for Ichigo to come out, but the moment Mrs. Ittoki saw him waiting, he was ushered inside and served tea. He had, of course, accepted the tea politely, if not a bit confusedly, and waited for his sister to come down from the chaos that was happening upstairs.
Mrs. Ittoki had made small talk with him, slightly blushing when she heard a shriek from upstairs. She was patient, he could tell, but he had doubted anyone could keep their calm after thirty shrieks of curses and alike. She had sauntered off upstairs the moment she heard the thirty-first curse, leaving him alone for a good fifteen minutes, only being entertained by the various whines of "Mooooommm, we were only playing Mario Ca- O-ow! Not the ear! NOT THE EAR!" And "But Mrs. Ittoki, we were acting civilized adults! Well, maybe not exactly, but close enough, I think... Um... Wh-why are you dialing my mom- PLEASE DON'T TELL HER! SHE'LL TAKE AWAY MY CHOCOLATES!" And "Moooom, I was just telling them to quiet down! I have no part in this! Owwwww! Not me too!" And lastly, "I WIN! I WIN! I WIN! YOU LOSE! I TOLD YOU I'D BEAT ALL OF YOU IF IT WAS THE LAST THING I... Do... Oh, um, hi Mrs. Ittoki, is that a new perfume you're wearing? I-it smells great! PLEASE DON'T TELL MY DAD! HE'LL NEVER GIVE ME AN XBOX!"
After the said fifteen minutes of amusement, his sister came down with a pouting face and was followed by a sobbing redhead, crying out, "She'll send me to the ceiling room!".
Hanato blinked at the statement. "Ceiling... Room?" He said half-confused, half-curious.
The sobbing redhead looked up with teary eyes and ran to him, embracing him, causing Hanato to freeze in place. "You understand me!" She looked up with hopeful (and teary) eyes. "The floor is my enemy! The ceiling is the floor of another world, so it must be my enemy too!" Hanato took a minute processing the statement and trying to understand it, then took another minute admiring the crazy, yet logical point of it.
The girl had let go after a minute of no response from Hanato. She backed up to the wall, scared out of her mind. "You..." She started shakily. "YOU'RE WITH THE BARRELS AREN'T YOU!"
Hanato looked at her with eyes that screamed 'WTF'. First the ceiling and floor... Now barrels? "What?"
The girl screamed and ran up back upstairs. Hanato paused before glaring at his sister who was smirking a 'hehe, it's totally your fault' smirk.
Mrs. Ittoki sighed. "Please don't mind Touko, she's always like that."
Hanato jumped slightly; he hadn't noticed her come down at all. "Um, no, it's perfectly fine." He smiled his sparkliest smile. "Now if you would excuse us, we must get going, if you don't mind."
Mrs. Ittoki smiled back. "It's getting late, your parents must be worried." She had said, ushering them out.
Hanato snapped out of his flashback as another Ittoki crawled up to him.
"N-ne, *hic* does H-Hanatan have a g-guwrlfweind~?"
Hanato shifted as he felt everyone in the room turn to him with drunken and perverted grins.
"Good question, do you?" Hanato turned to his father who magically appeared on his other side. He turned red as his father asked the next question. "Have you done... It?"
Now, Hanato was far from a virgin, but that doesn't mean he'll ever admit that in front of his father, especially not in front of people he barely knew!
Across him, Satsuki roared with laughter. "Of course he's not a virgin! His fucking girlfriend is Kurosaki Yumeimi!" If possible, Hanato turned even redder as his father gave him an uncertain yet proud grin.
Back in the STARISH table, a cry was heard. "MY BABY'S GROWING UP!" Followed by over-enthusiastic claps.
Hanato glared at the laughing blonde. "And you're pure? Oh, please!" He smirked as Satsuki stopped laughing to glare at him. "I've seen you make out with Uncle Camus's daughter at least twice on campus!"
Rin snorted. "I swear the first time Carmine actually found out about turtle necks was when she started dating you."
"Speak for yourself." Mai deadpanned. "You're a lesbian, aren't you? Don't even bother hiding it. I've seen how you and Kotobuki Reika look at each other."
"You're a lesbian?" Ren spoke, raising an eyebrow. Rin flushed.
"N-no!" She denied. "I-I'm... I'm bisexual." She looked away from her father's stare. "I was gonna tell you... Eventually."
"Ah."
The tense silence was broken by a slightly soberer Masato. "Do you have a anything you want to tell me?" He asked, staring at his daughter.
"... Nothing in particular." Mai replied calmly. "Though, if you must know, Meiko keeps coming home with things that do not belong to her." She sipped her sake. "I do believe they are Mikaze Yuki's and Ichinose Ikuto's."
Masato raised an eyebrow. "Aren't they two years older than her?"
"That's what bothers me the most."
"Hmm..." Masato nodded. "I'll send investigators immediately."
"... I believe that is too much, but it is your choice, father."
Three hours later, nearly everyone was knocked out or so drunk that they just could form a single word.
Hanato wasn't that drunk, really, at least not compared to his parents. Sure, he had about ten bottles of beer, but he could still see clearly... If he squinted. His parents, though, were probably the worst drunks ever. Around an hour ago, his father started singing a horribly off-tune American song to his mother. Add his drunkness to his bad engrish, it was living hell. The song had lost all its value after Ringo was done with it. Hanato guessed that it was suppossed to be romantic and all, but how romantic could you get with "bayybee yooh right up mai warudo riku noboohdee eeerse, ze uei zaat you friip yohr hairr meikusu mii oberhuermed"?
Still, his mother had appreciated it. No matter how horrible his engrish was, no matter how screwed up it sounded, no matter if it should have been destroyed and burnt, Tsukimiya Haruka had appreciated it.
That was possibly the best thing Hanato liked about his mom. No matter how bad the situation was, she still found something positive about it. He knew that was what his father loved about his mother, her optimism.
Hanato smiled as he saw her mother cuddle with his father. The love between them was unbreakable, no doubt about it.
Still, one question stayed in his mind.
Should he remind his father about their anniversary next week...?
A/N: This started out serious, I swear, it really did. ._.
But, if you actually liked this chapter, then thank god. I mean, this is pretty much about my view on their future children or something, I really don't know.
Also, if you want more chapters surronding Hanato and/or Ichigo or just the Tsukimiya family in general, do tell.
Finally, I'm sorry I haven't updated this in forever, but I kinda got stuck in a gutter, but luckily Maji Love 2000% saved me. Maybe?
