~Yukino POV~

"Mother, what did you called me for?"

I found myself in a café that catered to high class and the wealth of Chiba. I sat in front of mother with a hot cup of earl tea that the waiter just placed on the table.

"Yukino-chan, you could have greeted me"

"Mother?"

"Fine! Yukino-chan, you will be attending a formal dance. The following week"

"Mother, we talked about this, I rather not"

"Yukino, you will be there since Haruno will be late."

"M-mother I…"

"Yukino, you will attend until Haruno arrives. I allow you to bring two of your little acquaintances that Gahama-san and that boy"

She got up and left behind the sums for the two teas. She did not give me a chance to refuse it. It was an order, I have to follow. The fact that she told me, I can bring two acquaintances means to bring some acquaintance that won't embarrass Yukinoshita family. But mother you could have use the right name, her name is Yuigahama not Gahama. If it was the past, I would have asked Hayama-san but now was not an option he is an acquaintance from my childhood. I believe Hikigaya-kun would describe it as a childhood friend… Hikigaya-kun? Yuigahama? I know it is selfish if I ask him since he already agreed to my earlier request on that day. But I have no option. Ah! I forgot, Mother gave me permission to bring two acquaintances, I can bring Yuigahama-san and him, Hikigaya-kun.

After school, I was sitting at my chair in the clubroom. I was waiting for her and him to arrive. I heard the door open. Hikigaya-kun and Yuigahama-san just walked into the clubroom. Hikigaya-kun close the door behind him. I got up from my chair. I was nervous but I have to be serious. I bowed to them. My hands were clasped together. I know my hands were trembling. I can feel it in my fingers. I was starting to panic. I was thinking about what if they reject my request. I know they won't but I'm still scared.

"Hikigaya-kun, Yuigahama-san… I have a personal request to make." I asked them

"Yukinon? Did something bad happen?" Said a worried Yuigahama-san

Seeing her worried, made me feel uneasy. I rose up from my position. My uneasiness made me fiddle with my blazer's sleeve. I was about to say something when Hikigaya-kun spoke up.

"We're not in hurry. Gather your thoughts."

I looked at him, a little scared.

"Eh? Sure…Thank you." I paused then started to speak again, "Would you like to have tea, perhaps?" Foolish Yukino! Why asked a rhetorical question like that? You always brew tea.

"Why ask? You brew it everyda- "I know that Hikigaya-kun, I'm just trying to calm myself down.

"Of course, Yukinon!" Interrupted Yuigahama. Well yes Yuigahama, I know that interrupting Hikigaya-kun was right thing to do but you should have let him finish is rude remark.

I gave them a smile before turning around to prepare the tea. Yuigahama-san was talking to me about a new accessories store that open in Tsudanuma. She really energetically about it. I answer back while I was brewing the tea. I found this relaxing. I guess this a soothing routine for me. I guess it does help calm me down a bit. I took a glimpse at Hikigaya-kun. He just sat there at his chair. Waiting for us. Not even reading his light novel. Once the tea was ready, I pour it into each respected cup. I serve each their tea, Yuigahama-san and I sat at our chairs.

"So… What's the deal?" Asked Hikigaya-kun. Geez Hikigaya-kun, I was working up to it. I look up from my cup and stared at them. I start to scanned around the room, also tracing the rim of my cup. I was just think how I should ask them. I don't want to be forceful.

I sighed and I prepared to asked them. I looked at them.

"As I said, I have a personal request to you… Umm both of you. I do admit said request might sound unusual, probably even weird. As such I do not demand from you to comply at all… at all costs, so to speak, but it would help me greatly if you do." I asked. (Yes, I kept this as the same from original story. Word by word. It sounds something that she would say)

I saw Hikigaya made a face that's seems to be in pain. Looking at him, I bite my lip gently to keep focus. I know it sound weird but I'm trying to ask nicely. As I continue with my request.

"It is well known fact that my family is quite wealthy, and this fact brings a whole host of consequences. One of them is having to attend many formal events where presence of one or both children is mandatory." I said. (I also kept this word to word from original story)

I took a sip of my tea, I was still worried but I'm calm. Looking at their faces helps. It just that I'm worried that I might have sounded like I was bragging about my family's wealth. Which was not my intend.

"You may probably deduce already that I don't handle those events very well, so I had always tired to avoid attending. This should have been no exception, but my sister said she would arrived late. Mother insists I should come as a… substitute, but she kindly allowed me to bring two personal acquaintances along if I so desire." (Yeah, I had trouble with this passage. I kept laughing. I already imagine Yukinoshita and Hikigaya-kun at a dance. But yeah, it word by word this part and maybe the next)

I close my eyes and gulped the last bit of saliva.

"So, this is my request. No, that was the wrong choice of words. I…I hereby humbly ask of you to accompany me to the formal event."

With my eyes still close, I waited for their replied. Those few seconds of silence felt like years.

"So, you want us to go to a party with you?" Asked Yuigahama

I open my eyes out of bewilderment. Yuigahama-san, what am I going to do with you. It is a formal not a party.

"Not a party per se but a formal social event, Yuigahama-san."

"Whatever! Of course, I'll come!" Replied Yuigahama-san

I gave her a small nod and a smile. I felt relieved.

"Me too. I don't have plans anyways, you know" Said a Hikigaya-kun scratching his head.

Oh my! Really now Hikigaya-kun, what foolish remark. I felt a smile on my face. A little banter with him felt right. I replied, "Are there times when you actually do have plans at all, Hikigaya-kun?" Yes, as mention before a little banter between us felt normal.

"There are. Like, I don't know, quality time with Komachi? And even if I don't, you can be so lucky for getting my help at any time. Just like now." Replied Hikigaya-kun. To think you will use your sister.

"So, are you admitting that your laziness can only be overridden by your sis-con tendencies?" I tilted my head after replying.

"Come on Yukinon, you don't look gift horse in the mouth and stuff. I mean, it's Hikki we're talking about" Replied a smiling Yuigahama.

This girl, she really need to fix her study habits. But I do understand what she is trying to say.

"Yuigahama, gift horse right here and not amused. Can you stop learning bad things from Yukinoshita? Please. Pretty please." That is something that I rather not touch. I rather she learns more academy centric information.

Oh my! This girl actual sticks out her tongue, what strange and cute thing to do. She showed Hikigaya-kun the tip of her small pink tongue. It reminded me of a cat but for Yuigahama-san case it would be a dog. How strange? I looked over to Hikigaya-kun and he had a disapproval expression.

I sighed before saying anything, "Jokes aside, I'm glad and grateful that you accepted my request." I really am glad that they would accepted it.

I saw Hikigaya-kun open his light novel and rested his head on his free hand palm.

"No problem. As usual, you know." Said Hikigaya-kun in a crude manner.

"Yes indeed. That was exactly why I asked. And that is exactly why I'm grateful."

Hikigaya-kun nodded.

"So, Yukinon, when is the party. I mean event?" Asked Yuigahama-san

"Next Friday evening. Why?" I replied

"I mean, we probably have to dress up, be formal and stuff?" Asked Yuigahama-san

"You are correct about that," Why would she ask this? Placing my finger on my chin to think. I only can conclude that she was asking if she need to buy a dress. Well it would help but she can just use my older dresses. I have many and sadly at most I'm only allowed to wear it once or twice. Being in the public eye, there are rules on wearing the same dress several times. "Let see… You can borrow one of my dresses like last time."

"Thanks! And by the way…" She asked, and turn toward Hikigaya-kun

"What?"

"You have to dress up too. You know"

"So? I dressed up fine when we went to that fancy bar."

"You looked like a yakuza. Especially with those eyes of yours." I replied

"Yes! That was spot on! I could not put my finger on it back then. But yeah you looked totally like a yakuza." Said Yuigahama-san

"Does that mean I can easily pass for a yakuza. Huh? May as well become one." Replied Hikigaya-kun

Really now! Oh dear. This boy is terrible. Trying to hold back a headache. I massage my temple. "That would be a better choice than house husband."

"Don't underestimate me, woman. I still can be a house husband yakuza."

I can't imagine him cooking for a gang. This boy is too lazy to cook.

"Hikki, you are hopeless." Said a regretful Yuigahama-san

"Buzz off." Replied Hikigaya-kun

"Back to the topic at hand. Yuigahama-san is right for once. We will have to pick you a formal set of clothes." I interrupted

"That is fine and all but I have to find the money for it."

Well it is reasonable conclusion but I can't accept that. I shook my head and gave him a small smile. It is my request so…

"I'll cover the expenses. It is my request, after all." I replied

It really is my request and you already fulfil part of it.

"Erm, you don't have to. I'll find some money too" Said Hikigaya-kun

I raise my palm to stop him.

"Don't feel guilty. As I said, it was my request. It is settled then. I suggest that tomorrow at 4 in the evening at Chiba Station. We will pick you something." Well there are some rules to follow too but that that can be discussed at a later time.

…

I made it to my bed. My bookbag was on the floor beside my bed. I found myself lying down face first into my pillow. I felt relieved, that the two of them are the closest people I have. Nee-san and Hayama-san use to be the closest one to my heart. I'm really grateful that they accepted my request. I knew they would. I flip over and lifted my phone toward my eye level. I swiped the screen to unlock it. I went to my picture album. I scroll down to the picture I wanted. On the screen was a picture of Yuigahama and her dog Sable. She had the biggest grin. I swiped to the right to a picture of a young man. This picture of Hikigaya reading his light novel. Yuigahama-san really did take a good picture of him without him noticing. Now that I think about it, how many pictures of us did Yuigahama-san took without us noticing. Placing my phone down and sitting up. I prepared for the following day.

So yeah, it turns out I had spring break and forgot about it. So, my spring break was sleeping in, playing Monster Hunter World, and watching anime. That why it took longer to write and post this. By the way, this story was supposed to be two parts but I split it into three.

So the list of current project I'm working on, once I'm done with "Box Step", I'll add the next story:

"Box Step" by Some Chinese Guy

"Blue Moon" by Lose- Please finish this. I like it so much.

"My Clubroom's President is Far More Broken Than I Expected" by FireHero- I'm just taking shot at both author and author of "Shiori-san to Hikigaya-kun" by Veltus because they made something great and had not updated it.

"Growth" by Achoopredator- OCs' POV (I want more but yeah I guess I finish this for own goal)

Also read the cultural event thing from the light novel or watch the anime… Saki's POV

"One Thing Leads to Another" by Azulito
