A Visit From MomGoto
Oyodo sighed, looking over at the figure hunched down at his desk, concentrating on request forms as if they held the secrets of the universe. "Admiral, you have to go home at some point...your Mother is not consipiring with Kongo to plan a huge fancy wedding and then lots of babies."
Goto's head snapped up, his eyes meeting those of the first light cruiser to ever be awarded a Psychology doctorate.
"You're wrong! I saw the gleam in Mom's eyes...it said 'I want grandbabies and here's the girl who wants to give me lots of them!' And I don't think I need to state Kongo's feelings on the matter, do I?"
Oyodo cringed, thinking of some of the 'events' throughout KonGoto history. "No, not really."
The Admiral nodded frantically. "Exactly! If I go home, I don't stand a chance! Those two will have me and Kongo married by the time Mom leaves!" His expression had blown right past Franticville and was rapidly approaching Paranoid Junction.
Dr. Oyodo blinked and then smiled reassuringly. "Admiral, I think you're seriously overreacting here...your girlfriend and your mother are not conspiring against you."
Goto scoffed. "Don't think it's only me and Kongo, either...Mom's a natural matchmaker! Remember when I brought her here earlier to show her my office, and Akashi just happened to be visiting you?"
Oyodo blinked, surprised at the sudden change in subject. "Yes...?" Then it dawned on her what the Admiral was implying.Uh-oh... "Admiral, you don't mean that..."
"I distinctly heard her mention kimonos and a dais covered in cherry blossoms, along with 'Isoroku can perform the ceremony...I'm sure he'd love to officiate the marriage of two of his personnel."
The Doctor did her best not to start hyperventilating; while she wouldn't deny she and Akashi shared something very special, neither of them - to her knowledge, anyway - were anywhere near ready for such a step!
"I-I see what you mean..." she trailed off, before smiling brightly. "I have another sheaf of request forms here, if you're interested."
Goto smiled, relieved. "Bring 'em on."
