BOYFRIEND | takahashi ran

5. your mom is my mom

" so... you're both dating huh? " your mom questioned. she was seated opposite the both of you in the dining room. takahashi had his hands on his lap, fidgeting on the hem of his school uniform. with his head tilted slightly downwards, he bit his lip and nodded slowly and sheepishly. if he had a tail, it would've been tucked between his legs right now.

" mom stop it. " you started feeling bad for him.

" what? i'm just clarifying things, since no one tells me anything, " mom questioned as she took another bite of the curry rice she had delivered for the three of them, " how long has it been? "

" a little over a week... and to be fair, " takahashi spoke up, " we never did tell... anyone... "

" huh?! not even your mom knows? " she said in disbelief as she pointed her fork at takahashi, " damn... what else are you kids doing these days that no one knows of? "

" mom. i swear, we're just dating. that's it. it's not a big deal, " you said as you rested your elbows on the table.

" oh but it is... i didn't expect this day to come so soon. ahh... how my children have grown up, " she smiled with satisfaction, " ... now listen here takahashi, you might be my best friend's son and i might have known you for your entire life but if you dare hurt my child, i will- "

" moooooom... " you groaned, " takahashi treats me the same. he treats me well. "

" if he's treating you the same then he isn't treating you well. i remember when you were younger he used to throw his volleyball at you... " your mom said as she side eyes takahashi.

" no, mom, i swear, that was an honest mistake. i thought she looked like a dog so she was going to fetch it... like a dog... i swear that has never happened again, " takahashi started to reason. he looked as if he was going to break out in cold sweat.

" haaah... im joking... but you're already calling me ' mom ' ?! what are you? engaged?! " mom gasped with comical exasperation.

" but i've been calling you mom since i was a baby! " takahashi reasoned as he waved his hands frantically in the air.

" HAHAHA i know i know, im just kidding... treat my girl well okay, i'm supposed to meet some friends for dinner but i am fashionably late. i should get going now, " mom said as she stood up and pushed in her chair, " takahashi, you can stay the night if you want but i think you should head home soon since you don't have an extra set of uniform here. "

" yes mom, " he sighed in relief.

" okay get going now, BYE MOM, " you said as you quickly pushed her out the house, " see you later! "

" bye bye! don't try anything funny! " she shouted as she walked further away from the door.

" GO! " you shouted back at her as your face flushed red, " seriously, 'don't try anything funny' that was so embarrassing... " you sighed as you face palmed yourself and returned back into the house.

you saw takahashi slumped against the chair, letting out a sigh of relief, " thank goodness it's over, that was so stressful... "

" is it going to be like this when i meet your mom? " you laughed as you walked over to him. he pulled you down onto his lap and hugged you tightly.

" my mom would be more than happy to have you as her daughter, " he said as he snuggled against you.

" of course. i'm smart, good looking and funny, what's not to love? " you teased.

" good looking? sure. funny? wow, this joke is making me crack up. smart? uh... "

" excuse me? " you deadpanned, " says the one who's only good at playing volleyball. "

" hey! i'm good at other things too! like... like chasing the girl of my dreams, " he said as he looked up to you.

" yeah... wonder how you got so much experience, " you raised an eyebrow.

he jabbed you on your side, sending a ticklish shock all over your body. he started tickling you, while you squirmed on his lap.

" HAHA OKAY OKAY! IM SORRY! PLEASE STOP! " you apologised, desperately trying to get out of his tight grip.

he eventually stopped and turned you so that you would be facing him, " i'm kidding, you're my smart princess... and for the record, you also are the only girl i have chased and the only girl i want to chase. "

your face heated up as you pushed yourself off his lap. " what are you so embarrassing for. "

he laughed and got up as well, slinging his bag over his shoulder.

" well... time to get home. i wish i could stay here with you but i have work to be done, " he stated.

" okay, " you said, feeling a little disappointed.

" ill text you okay? " he smiled as he put on his shoes, " goodnight kid. "

" goodnight, " you responded as you walked him out.
