Surprises

(REWRITTEN) 

She walked to school, her feet tapping on the grey pavement as she mulled over how she was going to explain the situation with Daichi. She silently bristled at her own thoughts she didn't owe them an explanation. 

She walked into school switching her shoes, her usual placid expression adorning her face, she glanced behind her as Tohru called out her name, she offered her a small smile "hello" the brunette bounded up to her a hopeful expression on her face "eat lunch with us today?" She asked causing y/n to sigh

She hated that the brunette had a way of softening her up, all of them did really, she silently contemplated before giving in begrudgingly "alright, usual spot?" She questioned as Tohru practically vibrated with joy "yes, I'll see you then!"

She watched her bound away before starting towards her own class, Haru fell into step with her "yo" he greeted casually his hands shoved in his pockets as he glanced her way, she decided to ignore him

His gaze trailed over her curiously, "fiancé hm?" He mentioned casually, she glanced up at him "yup" she said curtly turning down the other corridor, he followed "okay then" he said opening the door for her to walk into class, a hint of surprise filled her at how casually he accepted her answer but mumbled a thanks as she walked in taking her seat 

The day continued on like normal, the teacher droning on, her focusing on her notes until their teacher glanced at the clock deeming it lunch time. She stood gathering her things Haru doing the same.

"Hey guys" Tohru greeted happily with a wave, giving them both a bright smile, she settled with the others all of them talking about random things laughs fluttering through the air. She watched them all eating brining her own food filled chopsticks to her lips. She silently felt her chest warm at the light interactions

After the rest of her classes she made her way to the council room, most of the school was quiet the students who didn't have after school obligations having already went home. She opened the door instantly met by a boisterous voice cutting through the calm behind her

 "Well don't you just look Devine!" She turned her hand still on the slightly ajar council room door, golden eyes peering at her closely. Her breath hitched at how close he was making her freeze slightly "sir your a little close" she choked out once her initial shock had wore away

He was suddenly tore away by the back of his shirt as Yuki stood with a cold look towards his brother before morphing into a plan one "I apologize for my brother" he said evenly. She looked between them incredulously, to her they looked nothing alike

Nonetheless she offered a respectful greeting and lifted her head "hello, I'm y/n l/n" she said glancing at the white haired man who gazed over her happily before being jolted by yuki "don't bow to scum like him" he said plainly 

Causing Ayame's face to contort into a dramatic pout, his hand falling over his chest "ah my dear brother why do you wound me so?" Yuki didn't even get the time to shoot back a retort before y/n was tackled by a black and white blue otherwise known as Mine. 

 "Can I dress her?!" She exclaimed a crazed glint in her glasses and a light blush on her cheeks as she clung to Y/n "Now now my dear mine, off the girl" ayame said with a wave of his hand, the girl got off with a disappointed huff before ayame bent down extending a hand and helping y/n up 

"hello my dear, I didn't have the pleasure of properly introducing myself, I'm Ayame sohoma otherwise known as Yuki's awesome absolutely fabulous older brother"  She stood to her feet blinking at him, he released her hand and gave her a dramatic wink "but you can call me Aya"

She blinked herself from her daze "nice to meet you" she said again before turning to the girl who bounced up and down "are you going to be part of Cinderella-ish?!" She asked excitedly causing y/n to shake her head lightly "no, I'm in a different class we are doing a maid cafe"

Mine practically deflated causing her to send a look towards yuki's way who only stood with his arms crossed clearly unbothered by the antics of his brother and assistant. Ayame also frowned "such a pity" mine gained energy "can I make your outfit?!" 

Y/n shifted awkwardly a small nervous laugh cutting through the air "uh sure-"she said not wanting to send her into a deflated state again. Mine squealed happily her energy overbearing as she pulled her into a hug making y/n release a surprised huff of air

Yuki face palmed behind them shaking his head in annoyance, "thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" She said jumping up and down jostling y/n with her. When she finally released her she glanced over at Ayame who was still talking to his disinterested brother about costumes 

She got her measurements taken before grabbing the pamphlet of council work, she had an extra pep in her step, her parents were going to be gone for a month they had left on a business trip, they should have been gone already their flight this afternoon, and her mother had fired the cook who tended to snitch due to her cooking her food wrong.

But since the cook is gone and she didn't want to, she decided that she wanted soba, she remembered the place that she had gone with Daichi and seen Tohru and decided that the restaurant would be a good choice.

She walked there briskly, hungry after a long day at school, she ordered her food and sat down, she idly wondered what the sohma's were doing.  And speak of the devil Haru walked in noticing her and sitting in the chair across from her

"Hi Haru" she greeted a hint of amusement in her tone, he seemed to be everywhere yet nowhere at the same time. He ordered his own food and tilted his head "your in a good mood, dare I say happy even" 

She snorted rolling her eyes playfully "I am actually, I have the house to myself for a while"  he tilted his head his fingers on his chin, the waitress brought his food in a take out bag and he glanced over at y/n. "You should meet me tonight then, nine"

She gave him an incredulous look "nine? Tonight? Why" he chuckled the sound making her  feel a flutter in her chest "Why you don't want to?" He mused almost teasingly, she shot  him a small scowl "never said that" she chided back

He stood grasping her hand lightly "good, I'll see you then" his lips bushed her knuckles as he smiled grasping his food and walking out. She blushed watching him leave, lightly tapping her cheek with her hand "stupid-" she mumbled to herself
