I believed someone asked me about my favorite couple or that I must be a fan of Yukino. Yeah, I do like HachimaXYukino. But I'm currently a fan of HachimanXHiratsuka and HachimanXHaruno. I guess the best fanfic for HachimanXHiratsuka, in my opinion, is "10 Years Too Soon" by Zeph-sensei. The author made me feel like I wanted to take her and look after her. Haruno, on the other hand, is a three-way fight. "Life in the Yukinoshita Household is Problematic, as Usual" by Haten, "A Nosy Yukinoshita" by NemunasCH, and Second Love: Haruno Yokinoshita" by Betrayed Dreams. Are my favorite read now. Now back to Yukino, it is true I like her but I write about her a lot because she is a good template. She is a complex character but if you add logic to her point of view. You succeeded in a good Yukino's pov story. In my story, most of it is scientific. I'm not good at literature so I stay away from that part.
Well about this story. I apologize to Haruno's fans. This is the last time she shows up. I did leave you guys a gift though. Read my omake of Haruno. It is about her sleep routine that I made up.
Dance the definition provided by Merriam-Webster is 'to move one's body rhythmically usually to music'.
I turned around to the voice. What I saw was a handsome teenager. He had glasses on. His messy hair was tamed and in a style that his ahoge was hidden. He was wearing a sharp black formal suit and a white dress shirt. My only reaction was to look him up and down. Hikigaya-kun was standing there.
Why are you here? No, rather why are you not next to me?
"Oh may, Hikigaya you look so sharp." Called out nee-san.
I had to agree with that statement, a hundred percent.
"Thanks. But, she has something for you." He nodded to the side.
Behind Hikigaya-kun was a maid. Light brown hair in a bun that has a maid head-dress on. The skirt was plain and falls at her ankle, she was as tall as Hikigaya-kun.
"Miss Yukinoshita Yukino." Said the maid.
"Yes," I replied.
"Miss Lucia Pearson wants to meet you." She said as she gave me a letter.
"Dear, you should go along. It is rude to keep the princess waiting." Said, mother.
I want to spend my time with Hikigaya-kun. I looked at Hikigaya-kun but he just returns my gesture with a Pokerface. I just walked out of the ballroom. I asked a staff member of the location of the princess. Since I had an invite, I was directly shown the way. I show the invite to the bodyguards, then they open the door. I walked into the room. It was a Floral white room with two black leather sofas. There was a metal black coffee table that was on top of a cream rug. For some reason, there are two laptops on the table. There was no one here, where is Pearson-san? I took a step closer to the middle of the room. I heard a flushing sound. A door opens, and Pearson-san steps out.
Pearson-san had jersey pants on and a light blue T-shirt that has a graphic image on it of a girl with turquoise pigtails that is as long as her body (Yes it is Hatsune Miku. I'm a fan. I don't see anything wrong with that).
"So you are Yukinoshita Yukino. Hachiman's girlfriend?" She asked.
Hachiman? Girlfriend, that is a little bit too much. We're not dating yet. Wait!
"I-I'm not his girlfriend. He is just a clubmate that I respect." I answer honestly.
"Really? The look you gave him during the club seems to tell another story."
I was giving him a look?
"I-I don't know what you are talking about," I replied.
"Well, take a seat. Hachiman said that you might need a break from this event." Said Pearson-san.
"Thank you," I replied.
I took a seat.
...
...
"Umm… How did…"
"How did Hachiman and I become an acquaintance?" She interrupted me.
I nodded.
"We had sex." She replied.
"WHAT!" I yelled out.
She started to laugh.
"That's was a great reaction. Don't worry geez, I have not done anything with your boyfriend (Yes, the bold italicized word is in English)."
"He is not my boyfriend" I replied.
"Ah! But do be careful with the maid. she might be our senpai and yet, she and Hachiman have a certain liaison."
The maid? The normal-looking girl.
The door opens and enters a tired duo of Hikigaya-kun and the maid.
"Are you not done watching anime? I don't want to be here any longer." Asked Hikigaya-kun.
Anime?
"I was about to start the next episode," Replied Pearson-san.
"Todd, get her ready. I'll step out for fresh air." Said Hikigaya-kun before he left.
"Well, then Lucia gets in the shower. I'll prepare your dress." Said the maid
Informal!
"Fine! You're always bossing me around," Replied Pearson-san
They ignored me. I just sat there for fifteen minutes. Should I step out? The door opens and nude Pearson-san enters. Why is she indecent?
A sigh was heard.
"Lucia! Didn't I tell you not to come out like that? Even Hachiman told you to stop doing that."
Wait! He saw her too. In that state? Nude. That pervert has an explanation to do.
Pearson-san sat down on the couch. She pulled up her underwear. Well, it is not like she was going to show it to anyone. They were plain. Todd-san or at least that what Hikigaya-kun called her, help her into a blue ball gown that has a large crown skirt. This dress made her a princess. There was a knock at the door. Enter, Hikigaya-kun with a styrofoam cup. He walked to the couch.
"Here," He said as he pushes the cup into my hand.
"Thank you" I replied
I look down at the drink, he gave me. It was a dark liquid. Coffee by the aroma it gives off. I took a sip, I prefer tea but knowing Hikigaya-kun's preference. Hikigaya-kun sat beside me, one seat away. I guess he was trying to be considerate and give me some room for a breather. I should ask him.
"H-Hikigaya-kun"
"Hmm"
"How did Pearson-san and you…"
"Meet?" Interrupted Hikigaya-kun.
"Yes," I replied.
He took a sip of his coffee.
"I was in the library with Ebina and Zaimokuza. We each sat at different tables facing each other. Pearson entered the library and took a seat at the table across from me. We were doing our own thing. After the bell ringed for us to return to class, we packed up. We left the library. She drops something and I pick it up to give it back to her. It was a manga. That was the trigger that started it. I gave it to her and my mistake was that I gave a random character name from that series. " He said.
"I see," I replied.
I don't understand but what I took from this. Is that they share a similar hobby. I thought he only read light novels. What gives?
"It might have been random for you but for me it was important. It was outlandish. Not many Japanese even read it before. Only real otakus have heard about that series." Said Pearson-san behind Todd-san.
"Miss, stop moving. It is hard to put makeup on you if you move around too much." Said Todd-san.
"And I'm telling you that term is an insult here." Said Hikigaya-kun.
"I'm done Miss," Said Todd.
It is not like she needed makeup before but it does enhance her beauty. Remind me of nee-san.
"Well, let get this over with so I can leave. Hachiman, you met with them. Right," Asked Pearson-san.
"Yes, I'll introduce you to them. Even though they don't believe me." Replied Hikigaya-kun.
"Can I just watch another episode?" Asked Pearson-san
"No!"
"No!"
"Yukinoshita, I'll mostly be accompanying Pearson but how about a dance later?" He said as he walks away.
What's up with that? I mean I'm happy he would ask me. But trying to act cool is low on Yukino points… Yukino points? What terrible habit I picked from him.
"Sorry for the late introduction, Yukinoshita. I'm Mildred Todd, Ms. Pearson's maid." Said Todd-san.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Yukino Yukinoshita." I replied.
"Well if you excuse me I have to prepare myself for the dance too." She said as she bows her head to me.
She walked away, and I decided it was best if I leave too. I went back to where my family was. As I approach them, mother called out,
"Yukino, I didn't know you befriended the princess?"
"I didn't mother, my clubmate is an acquaintance of hers. I'm sure you remember him. Hikigaya Hachiman." I replied.
A remark that is full of sarcasm. After all, you ignored him when you met Yuigahama-san. You were even rude to them, trying to invite them to a business dinner meant to be my birthday party.
"Yukino…"
"She is right, mother. You met him in that café when you pick us for Yukino's birthday party." Corrected nee-san.
The lights dim. One light ray flashed on the main door.
"Entering Princess Lucia Pearson and Hachiman Hikigaya" Called out the announcer.
The doors opened up and the pair walked in. At the same time, I heard what appears to be glass breaking but I ignore it since mostly the room was in full whisper mode. After all, no one could get close to her. At most introducing yourself was as close as you get. Hikigaya-kun who no one knew and expect nothing from. Achieved the impossible.
Music started to play and my mood turns awful. I mean who would not. You see a couple of youth dancing, one a beauty and the other is handsome youth. A handsome youth that you ask to be your partner but rejects you. I decided to go sit since I don't have a partner and I want to curse Hikigaya-kun. I hope he goes bald.
I'm surprised someone of Hikigaya-kun's talent can dance. His well-toned arms wrap around you. That manly chest press against you. His fragrance of ocean and coffee. If any of the girls from school took notice of him, I'm worried that he would have been taken away. That boy is charming. He was able to charm Yuigahama-san, Isshiki-san, Kawasaki-san, Hiratsuka-sensei. I'm even worried that nee-san might be affected too. They don't interact much and yet she is interested in him. I'm worried that she might have fallen for him.
The music slows down to a stop. This is the part where they switch dance partners but instead, Hikigaya-kun guides the princess to a group of businessmen. This will cause a backlash but that didn't matter at all. I'm about to dance with Hikigaya-kun. My heart is racing.
Hikigaya-kun was walking toward me. I sat up straight. I still have to act like a proper lady. He stood in front of me and raise his arm like asking for my hand.
Yes, I'll marry you.
"Will you dance with me?" He asked.
Ah! That was the wrong thing to say. I place my hand on his and nodded. He guided me to the dancefloor. I'm not going to mention that I was embarrassed. Not even when he placed his arms around me. His arm placement on myself was in a position of intimacy that lovers use rather than acquaintances. He smelled nice that I can't form words to describe it (I was going to write a longer passage of smelling him but I wrote one already in earlier fanfic). The proximately I'm currently at might be the cause of my confusion. I didn't think Hikigaya-kun got taller. That has to be it. The way he is embracing me or it could be that he is standing up straight. Either way, the fact is I can peek into his dress shirt and see his bare neck (Well yeah I kinda got the idea from how some guys like to see the nape of the girl they like. I just switch it around).
We started to dance, as the music started to play. I have to fight the urge to place my head on his sternocleidomastoid trapezius or in lamest term place my head the crook of his neck. That is something unladylike. And I want to be so unladylike.
Thou are of wax, bring meself aroint. And causes meself thy wife.
"What?" Asked Hikigaya-kun.
Did I say that out loud?
"N-nothing". I replied.
"Are you sure? I think you just asked me to marry you?" Asked Hikigaya-kun.
"No, get your mind out of the gutter," I replied.
My brain must be fried by now if I started to speak in Old English. I'm worried that I will start speaking in Spanish or French since those two are known as the romantic language. I'm not trying to woe Hikigaya-kun. It should be the other way around.
We danced for two songs, he guided me back to my seat. He was going to dance with nee-san next but was dragged away by the princess. I'm glad he didn't dance with my sister but knowing her. She might have found a way without me knowing. Either way, I'm currently blissful. I watch Hikigaya-kun get dragged from one group of businessmen to another then back to the dancefloor. I watch him dance for a while, then my family got ready to leave. We bid our goodbyes. I wave at Hikigaya-kun as he waves back.
A/N:
I have been gone, I guess. It is not like I'm busy. I have been working on old or current stories but I also have written many ideas for new work. I think someone asks if I was doing alright because I posted the next chapter on my horror story. I made them worried. But yeah going along with that I'm glad I did not post yet my sexual stories. I'm working on that kind of content but I'm trying to keep not as graphic. But anyway read the omake for you Haruno fan out there. She does not show up anymore. By the way, I am stuck on this university story. I made it sound like Hikigaya-kun is a man whore. I mean I do have him having sex with four characters and three of the four more frequent than the other. Even though, there is only two love rival. But yeah I'll keep working on that story. And my others.
Enjoy the omake!
Omake:
I removed my last article of clothes. I got up from my bed and walked to my drawer. In the full-body mirror, I saw my nude body in the reflection. I feel self-conscious after all. I was not born perfect like Yukino-chan. She is slender and flaw skin. I have to worry about my body, my weight, my skin, and even my breast. All the calories go to my waist. I have to follow a strict diet, jog in the morning, weight-training in the afternoon.
I know genetically I have superior looks. Ten out of ten men would say I'm a beauty. Yet I still feel self-conscious. I even lack self-confidence too (Yeah I'm trying to make her human). My eyes land on my bare pelvic. The area I feel less than satisfied with. As I mature into my adolescent stage, I was worried about the lack of body hair. I know it sounds foolish but as a girl turning into a woman, this lack of hair causes me to lose self-confidence. In the changing room, seeing my classmates change, I saw some starting to grow hair down there. There were some already at the peak. Even now, this lack of pelvic hair was my reason for lack of confidence. Yet, I had many boys that would confess their love for me and girls that were jealous of me.
I pull out from the trance-like state and face away from the mirror. I slide a drawer's cabinet. I took out some clothes. I return to my bed. I unfold the white fabric, the white camisole hangs from my hand. I put it on to cover my bare chest. I unfold the other cloth. It was a thistle purple pajama short shorts. I put them on. I face my pillow. I reach under it. I pull out a picture frame. I smile at the picture. It was a crop out picture of Hikigaya. I made a copy of this picture, I took from Yukino-chan. In the original picture, Hikigaya was sitting down in a chair and beside him standing were Yukino-chan and Yuigahama-chan. They were cute, trying to keep their statue quota.
I hug the picture frame. It was cold. I could not stop smiling. He was so handsome and a good dancer too. I was able to kidnap him for a dance. He is so interesting. There are so many wealthies Japanese that want their child to befriend princess Pearson-san. I was send to England to introduce myself as a representative of my family. She just nodded or greeted a few but in the end, we were ignored. Hachiman, what did you do to charm the princess? I might have to claim you if you get any more interesting. I lift the picture to kiss it.
"Good night, Hachiman," I whisper.
I place the picture next to my pillow and reach out to turn off the lamp. I close my eyes to let sleep overtake me.
