Chapter 11: Time for Dinner
previous | masterlist | next
Knocking on the door, Y/n could hear Emma on the other side already yelling at one of her brothers, the Sano residence bustling with energy as usual. As the door opened, she was greeted by Emma, who hugged her tightly before welcoming her further in. It was all a blur as Shinichiro approached and hugged her tightly, followed by Izana waving hello as he went back to helping cook. From the couch sat Grandpa Sano, who called the girl over and gave her a hug.
Emma guided her through the familiar halls of the house towards her room, giggling loudly as they began making small talk. Though once they made it past her bedroom doors, she grew quiet for a second before shutting the door. Suddenly, she grew serious, catching the other girl off guard.
“Hey, can I be say something real quick?”
Y/n turned to look at her friend, nodding her head as she waited for her friend to continue.
“I haven’t been a really good friend this past couple weeks, and I’m sorry. I think I owe you an explanation.”
Emma took a seat on her beanbag, facing towards her friend as she got comfortable. She grabbed one of stuffed animals Draken had gotten her and began to mess with it as she started talking again.
“I’ve been trying for months to set you and Mikey up, and I thought it was going well. Then you started using tinder and then you showed me Kazutora. At first, I hoped it wouldn’t work out, but then you kept seeing him and it kept going well, I just kind of shut down.”
Eyes wide, Y/n just stared at her friend, soaking in all the new information. It’s not like she hadn’t noticed Emma being uncharacteristically quiet in most conversations, but holy fuck. Slowly things started to make sense as her thoughts slowed down.
“Wait, you were trying to get me and Mikey together??”
“Yeah, you told me you had a crush on him once, so I thought I would help get you both together.” Emma shrugged, squeezing her stuffed animal closer.
“Oh my god is that why you left me with him at that amusement park?”
“Of course, why else would we have just left you there.”
Both the girls paused their eccentric conversation when they realized how ridiculous it sounded. They burst into laughter as Y/n threw her head back.
“I thought you were just being weird, thought you wanted alone time with Draken.”
“Why would I, me and him are already dating, I was trying to help you, dude.”
“That makes so much more sense now.”
“I wasn’t the one who was struggling with relationships.”
Y/n tossed a pillow at Emma, who laughed even louder as it hit her in the shoulder. The girls continued laughing, Emma feeling relief at her friends reaction. They girls relaxed and picked back up their conversation, Y/n showing off her newest photos of her and Kazutora.
A knock pulled the girls from the conversation as Shinichiro’s voice pulled them.
“Dinners ready.”
As they made their way to the table, they saw Izana already filling his plate as he fought Mikey back, who was trying to steal the serving spoon from him. Shinichiro was helping Grandpa Sano fill his plate while the girls took their seat. When Mikey saw her, his grip on the spoon loosened giving Izana a chance to rip it from him and continue to serve himself.
The girls served themselves to the food, thanking Shin for cooking as they began to eat. Shinichiro started making small talk with them, asking the basic questions you would to someone you haven’t seen in a while. As Shinichiro started talking about his latest failed date, Grandpa Sano leaned over, getting the girls attention.
“Hey, Y/n.”
She looked at him, smiling and she leaned down, so she could better hear him. With the tubes in his nose helping him breath it was slightly harder to hear him now. He spoke slower than usual and it seemed to take a lot more energy, but he still seemed to be as energetic as he did 10 years ago.
“You still single? Why not suck it up and date Mikey, he ain’t so bad once you get over his attitude.”
From across the table, Mikey choked on his food, having heard his grandfathers proposition over his siblings loud conversation. His and Y/n eyes met as they both blushed red, both clearly shocked by grandpa sanos direct approach. Their embarrassment was cut short by his laughing, followed by some deep coughing. Y/n helped him drink some water before eating her food.
Shinichiro began to ask her about her life, her eyes drifted toward Mikey as she hesitated mentioning her new addition. Emma looked over at her and nodded, giving her the okay to continue.
“Uhhh, I’ve been seeing a new guy. We just started going out recently.”
“Oh, is it still Kazutora?” Shinichiro asked, stuffing his face full of food between his words.
She nodded, noticing the way Izana giggled to himself toward Mikey, who promptly stomped his foot from under the table. Emma rolled her eyes, shooting them both a glare as Shinichiro continued.
“I haven’t seen him in a while, is he still good?”
“He’s doing good, he’s working at Baji’s pet store right now.”
“Good for him. Tell him to stop by some time, I’d love to see him.”
Mikey quickly shot Shinichiro a death glare, wanting nothing more than his brother to kindly shut the fuck up. Though, Shinichiro didn’t seem to either care or notice his brothers frustration. Y/n and Shinichiro continued to talk as Mikey wished the floor to swallow him, trying his best to up keep his side of his promise to Emma.
Luckily, the rest of dinner went well, everyone happily chatting along as they ate the meal. Everyone moved to the living room to talk some more, with Mikey slipping out of the group to move to his room.
