Chapter 6: Meeting Sumi's parents

Kazuya and his lovely pink haired girlfriend were inside a bus, sitting next to each other with zero distance between them. The shy maiden was leaning her head on his shoulder while her left hand intertwined the fingers with his right one, smiling blissfully and blushing too.

After their summer vacation at the beach, the young couple was now directed to Sumi's parents' house, as she wanted to present her first and beloved boyfriend. Hearing about it made Chizuru very happy for them, liking the happy expression that the pinkette had while being with the boy.

The brunette was especially glad that he loved Sumi that much, because she thought that working as a rental girlfriend wasn't the best choice for her; some customers could be annoying or pretty perverted, so she was relieved that she had a dear boyfriend that cared a lot for her. Besides, the shy angel was overjoyed for working inside the same maid cafè with him, as he made sure to protect her and the other maids from any pervert.

That attitude of his caused some girls to find him attractive, but they never flirted with him out of respect for Sumi, who exchanged lovely smiles and looks with him often at work. The owner giggled in front of those moments, finding them absolutely romantic and hoping to find herself a cute man too, since she didn't want to stay single forever.

Anyways, as the pinkhead's parents lived not too far from the university's city, she and Kazuya decided to take the bus to reach them, especially because he had no driving license and no car yet. Of course, he planned to get them in the future after sparing all the money necessary, but his main objective for the time being was to finish the university and get his degree.

Sumi wasn't studying instead, but working with him and their colleagues at the cafè was really funny and nice, especially because she could spend more time with him like that. In fact, she often stayed at his apartment because she felt lonely without him, causing him to blush each time she wanted to cuddle with him by showing puppy eyes.

Her cuteness was so great that he always felt like an arrow hit his heart whenever she looked at him with those adorable pink eyes of hers, unable to refrain from enveloping her into a hug then. Being loved that much by him filled her of immense happiness, reciprocating those hugs lovingly and adoring how warm he was each time they cuddled in his futon.

Their relationship was still focused on kisses and hugs because he was worried that making the next step was too soon for them, as he felt that it would scare her a bit. Her joyful smile that he saw when she was with him was something he loved very much and that he wanted to protect at all costs, like at the moment.

Despite she had her eyes closed, Sumi was smiling and clinging onto him all the time inside the bus, with him finding her so much adorable that his heart beat faster all the time. Even if he hated Mami, he had to thank her: if she had not dumped him, he wouldn't have met the beautiful angel that clung onto him, so she did something of good at least.

'It was the first time I slapped a woman in the face, but she deserved it. You can't make fun of me and cause Sumi-chan to cry too.', he thought, changing his expression into a serious one. He didn't feel sorry for that hit and for reprimanding Mami at all, as he realized that she was a bad person who hid behind a fake kind smile.

On the other hand, the lovely pinkette liked him for real after their first rental date and they fell for each other in little time, turning into the cute couple they were now. During their dates, he gave the stink eye to a lot of guys that dared to look at her in a dirty way, ready to throw his punches if it was necessary.

Though, the bus finally reached their stop, so the two of them got down from it and found themselves inside a lively place. Trusting his girlfriend, the orange haired boy followed her by keeping her hand to reach her family's house, admiring the other houses meanwhile. Most of them were either apartment complexes coloured houses, with dogs barking happily at seeing the couple.

He noticed that her smile got brighter when she saw the dogs, remembering that she liked them. Maybe he had a preference for fishes since he had one, but he didn't have any problem with cats, dogs or even birds. After all, he considered of having a parrot in the past.

At a certain point, Sumi stopped walking and looked at a pretty big house colored in orange and with a nice garden, which amazed the young Kinoshita. "Is this your parents' house? It's fantastic!", he exclaimed.

"Hehe, I-I grew up here until I decided to live on my own when I turned 19. I'm glad you like it.", she told him, hugging his arm lovingly. That simple gesture of affection was enough to give him fast badumps, admiring how cute she was always like that.

It also gave him enough courage to press the bell outside, and when they heard a feminine voice, he said, "Umm, good morning. I'm Kazuya, Sumi-chan's boyfriend. We've just arrived."

After that, there was silence for some minutes before the main door got opened and a beautiful pinkhaired woman that seemed an older Sumi wearing a dress and an apron came out of the house. "My, my! You two finally arrived! So you're Kazuya-kun? I'm pleased to meet my daughter's boyfriend!", she said enthusiastically, not hesitating to hug him affectionately and making him blush profusely.

Her daughter gasped in front of that while Kazuya couldn't help but feel overwhelmed by the amount of affection. "Hikari, stay calm. You're making Sumi jealous.", said another but masculine voice.

From the same door, a middle aged man with black hair and a beard came out while wearing a dark gray pullover upon a black shirt and a pair of white trousers. "Good morning, Dad. T-this is Kazuya-san, my b-beloved boyfriend.", said the pinkette, pulling him out of her mom's hug that pouted.

"It's a p-pleasure to meet you both, Mother, Father.", said the young man, still flustered because of Hikari's action. Being suddenly hugged by his girlfriend's mom at first meeting was truly surprising, but he didn't want to lose all his cool because of that.

"We're glad to meet you too, Kazuya. I'm Sumi's dad, Sakurawa Tatsuya. Being called mother and father by you make us very glad.", said the man, smiling politely like his wife. The boy's eyes widened at hearing him, smiling as well because he mare a good first impression on them.

"Let's go inside. I prepared some cupcakes and other sweets to celebrate this occasion hehe. Do you like sweets, Kazuya-kun?"

"Sure, I love them. T-thank you, Mother."

"You call me Mom (Oka-san) too.", she said, winking. Needless to say that it made him more flustered, complying anyways with her request while Sumi giggled. Seeing her parents getting along that much with him filled her of joy, after all.

So the four of them entered inside the house and he was flabbergasted by the tasty looking series of cupcakes and more that he found on a table in the living room. Looking around, he noticed that all the pieces of furniture and other things were normal and not too fancy, which meant that they weren't a high class family.

'I was worried to look pitiful in comparison to them, but it wasn't the case fortunately.', he thought, sighing in relief. His eyes also sparkled when he bit a chocolate cupcake, blushing and adoring the taste.

"My, do you like it? Cooking has been one of my favorite hobbies, especially because I love doing it for my beloved and my daughter.", said Hikari, hugging Tatsuya's arm.

"It's delicious, Mom! Thank you very much.", said the orange haired boy, munching on the sweets more.

"I heard from Sumi that you're still studying at the university while working part time too with her. How are your studies going?"

"Well, I don't have any difficult exam to deal with for the time being, so all's good. I also give my best at work for my and Sumi-chan's sake.", he replied, still blushing and scratching his cheek. Those words made his angel blush too, bringing her to hug his arm affectionately.

"That's great to hear. You see, my daughter had always been very shy and never had a boyfriend before, so I'm happy that her first one was a good person like you."

Tatsuya's speech caused Kazuya to feel moved, as he was both amazed and extremely glad that her parents were liking him that much. He understood that his love's kindness came mainly from them, which was one of her traits that he loved the most. Even if he had to be honest, he absolutely adored everything about her.

"I liked S-Sumi-chan immediately after I met her for the first time, and when we became a couple, my feelings for her got stronger. I treasure her more than anything, Mom, Dad!", he exclaimed, getting redder and hugging the lovely maiden back.

Such speech caused her to have some steam come out of her ears while her parents were stunned; they felt the genuine emotion that he put in his words, which was present also in his determined brown eyes. On the other hand, he could feel the beats of his heart going faster for what he just did, though he wanted to show them how much he loved her.

He worried about making a mistake if he gave the idea of being uncaring towards her, so in order to avoid that, he wanted to express his great love for her. Cupping her face with a strong resolution, he didn't hesitate to press his lips on hers, shocking her and her parents way more.

'K-Kazuya-san.', she thought, feeling her heartbeats going faster and faster. She felt like the happiest woman of the world: not only he declared his love for her in front of her family, but he was also showing it by kissing her romantically and sweetly like he always did.

He never tried to be aggressive with his kisses, which she took it as his way of not scaring her in fear of looking like a pervert to her eyes. She was in bliss that he cared that much for her, since it filled her of an immense joy. A joy that never stopped growing thanks to him.

For that reason, she reciprocated his kiss at her best, surprising even her parents like that and not stopping to lock her pink pupils with his own ones and to smile at him. "Hehe, you two are so in love with each other! When will you get married?", asked them Hikari.

That question made them both redder, with the boy gulping and saying, "W-we didn't decide when yet, but I really want to have her as m-my wife. Trust me."

"Heh, by saying that, you're already part of this family, Kazuya. Thank you for loving our precious child that much.", said Sumi's dad with a big smile. His wife nodded and went to prepare some coffee for everyone, with the young man surprised again by how much well everything was going.

'I must thank Chizuru-san too for giving me this courage. She never stopped supporting me and my relationship with Sumi-chan, so having her as a friend is surely a nice thing.', he thought, hoping that the brunette was having a good time while studying at home. Perhaps she studied in a different faculty at their university, still they supported each other and he wished for her to become a fantastic actress like her grandmother was years ago. She had the talent for that in his opinion.

Maybe he didn't like the fact that she still worked as rental girlfriend because he was worried for her safety, but he knew that she was capable of defending herself against some pervert. Besides, she was protective of him too, as she would have slapped Mami too if she heard her insulting him.

Speaking of the blondie, she never showed herself in front of him again after he gave her a slap, which he was grateful for. He hated her for how she treated him by dumping him and then insulting him, so it was better for her to stay away from him if she didn't want another slap.

Anyways, once Hikari brought some coffee for everyone, the Sakurawa and the young Kinoshita spent the rest of the morning by chatting together and playing Monopoly, during which he happened to get married to his angel albeit in the game. Tatsuya joked by saying that they were really impatient to get married, which only made them both blush more.

In that moment, the orange haired guy even imagined Sumi in a wedding dress, unable to hide his big smile at that thought. "Ara ara, Kazuya-kun is thinking about it."

"D-don't read my mind, Mom!", he told her, flustered.

"I-I imagined him in a groom suit.", revealed her daughter, twiddling her fingers and smiling innocently. That sentence striked his heart, making his eyes shine; she was truly an angel from Heaven that he couldn't stop adoring.

Her parents chuckled before their behavior and teased them again during lunch, especially because he basically ate what Sumi prepared eagerly. As he already tried her cooking skills that were the result of learning from her mother, he absolutely adored each type of food she made.

Tatsuya and Hikari smiled more when their daughter fed him sweetly despite it made them blush for the umpteenth time, as they could clearly see the big happiness on her face. She was always extremely shy when she was little, but there she was, smiling and giving tons of affections to the gentle guy that she fell for. If someone asked them if they were glad for that, they would confirm it and add a hundred times too.

They admired that strong bond even when she clung onto his arm and accompanied him to her bedroom to show it to him, with him unable to stop smiling. Once inside the room, his eyes met a vast collection of stuffed animals, some photos of her younger self with her family and other very cute things.

"Your room is like I imagined it. Cute and adorable like you haha.", he told her, smiling at her.

"I-I grew up inside this room until I decided to live on my own. I'm overjoyed you like it, Kazuya-San.", she told him, hugging his arm tighter. He felt a soft sensation on his arm that caused him red cheeks again, because even if they took a bath together, she made him flustered regardless. After all, his infatuation for her had no limits.

"A-also, if I become your wife, I will do my best to be a good one for you. I don't want y-you to be ashamed of me."

"What? Why are you saying that? I never felt ashamed of you, not even once. You're the best thing that ever happened in my life, so I'm super happy that you're my girlfriend. You're cute, gentle, caring and so kind that I fall for you over and over again and-"

He stopped his sentences when he noticed some punk steam coming out of her ears and a huge blush on her face, which made him blush as well. Maybe he overdid it with his praises for her.

"S-sorry! I just wanted to assure you that you don't need to change! You're already perfect as you are!", he exclaimed in agitation to calm her down. To his shock, she enveloped his entire figure in a hug, snuggling her smiling face into his chest.

"Sumi-chan?"

"I'm so happy, Kazuya-San. I'm so glad that you think all those nice things of me. I love you more than anything in this world and I will always do hehe.", she told him, giggling.

His heart beat faster once again before so much cuteness, so he reciprocated her hug and they sat down on her bed, never detaching from each other. She could hear the sound of his heartbeats, and it was such a pleasant one that she refused to let go of him. The fact that it reacted like that because of her made her even happier, causing her great love for him to grow way stronger.

The same went for him, as he literally adored having her between his arms. She was small maybe, but she was the cutest person he ever met and he meant each word he told her. He would never lie to her. They then opened their eyes that locked together, with their lips getting closer to seal a joyful kiss between them.

Like before, he avoided to be too aggressive and kissed her calmly, but to his surprise, he felt her tongue moving. Chuckling in his mind, he reciprocated it and used his tongue too to kiss her in French style, liking the sweet sound of her moan. She was illegally too cute in his opinion and that fueled his desire to protect her at work even more.

On the other hand, she was very happy that he was kissing her like that, as she didn't want him to hold back on his feelings. He could give her all the love he wanted because she was both his girlfriend and his future bride and nothing could change that. He eventually got on top of her on the bed, still making out with her while her arms wrapped his neck.

Of course, he didn't want to take her innocence in her bedroom while her parents were at home, as that moment would be very important for them and therefore he wanted to make it special. That was why he was satisfied with just kissing her like that, nit having enough of her cute moans and the dance between their tongues.

He managed to control himself and his excitement, as the mere idea of scaring her like that was something he wouldn't forgive himself for. He understood that she didn't want him to hide his feelings, but he couldn't help but always worry for her. She was his angel and everything for him.

Though, the need for some air brought them to detach unwillingly their lips from each other, panting and still keeping their eyes locked. Seeing her so flushed and panting was something beautiful and attractive for him, which made him smile another time.

"I really can't do anything about it: I end up falling for you more every single time, Sumi-chan.", he told her sweetly, causing her eyes to widen. He got alarmed when some tears formed in her eyes, getting surprised though when she hugged him again.

"I-I feel the same, Kazuya-san. I love you this much and all the kindness and the care you have for me make me overjoyed. Please, promise me you will always stay with me.", she said, releasing more tears that stained his sweater.

Needless to say that he was flabbergasted by those words; hearing that she wanted to stay always with him was like a proposal to get married, so his smile got bigger and he reciprocated her hug gladly. Unbeknownst to them, Tatsuya and Hikari were spying them from outside of the room, with the woman crying of joy.

"Look how cute they are. Our Sumi really found the love of her life.", she said to her husband.

"Yeah, that boy cares genuinely for her. He looked past her shyness and could see the kind maiden that our daughter is. We have to make sure to prepare their wedding in advance, Hikari.", he told her, with tears falling from his eyes too. His beloved giggled and nodded in agreement, still admiring the young couple clinging onto each other.

In the end, Kazuya's meeting with his girlfriend's parents went better than expected, as their objective was helping him to marry the lovely pinkette now. Chizuru, Nagomi and his own parents would be glad too, and the second wouldn't hesitate to help Tatsuya and Hikari. She wanted her grandson to get married to Sumi the soonest possible, and considering how deeply he loved her, that moment was going to inevitable and truly unforgettable.
