i think i can love you | miyamura x oc

siscon - [ch. 48]

On the flight home, Miyamura and Megumi (baha they're not married yet so I can still introduce him as Miyamura) were brainstorming ways on how to tell their families about their engagement. "We can host a dinner between your family and mine, and we'll announce it then." Miyamura said, handing Megumi a head pillow. "We shouldn't say that we're both hosting the combined dinner, or they might get suspicious. And, thank you, anata." Megumi spoke with logic, and then thanked Miyamura for the head pillow he gave her. Miyamura blushed when Megumi called him 'anata', it was the first time. (Anata means 'darling' or 'love').

"When will we schedule the dinner?" Miyamura tried his best to keep his cool as Megumi tapped her chin softly. "Maybe next week. I still need to figure out if my little brother wants to come or not." Megumi drank some of her coffee as Miyamura raised an eyebrow. "Little brother?" Miyamura tilted his head. "It's complicated. My cousin Akito ended up being my brother, yada yada. We spent a lot of time together as kids, and we look pretty similar, so I wasn't really surprised when I found out." Megumi gave Miyamura some of her coffee and he took a sip. Miyamura's eyes widened and he was taken aback by the coffee's abnormal taste. "What's wrong?" Megumi jolted her head to looked at Miyamura, who chuckled awkwardly.

"How much sugars did you request to be put into this coffee, Megumi?" Miyamura scratched the back of his neck as he looked at the coffee cup. "I requested for fifteen sugars, why?" Megumi tilted her head, and Miyamura looked as white as a ghost. "F-f-fifteen sugars?" Miyamura gently gave the coffee back to Megumi, who gladly drank it. "I have thing for sweets." Megumi shrugged, chugging down her coffee.

"Have you had any cavities? Like, in your whole life?" Miyamura asked, genuinely curious. "No. I find it surprising, considering how much sugar and calories I intake on a daily basis." Megumi smiled at Miyamura, and he glanced at her body. Megumi was perfectly skinny. She had every girl's dream body, as many said. Megumi noticed him staring, and she answered before Miyamura even got to ask the question. "Fast metabolism. Although it might be an advantage, I should start eating healthier." Megumi put on a thinking face, and Miyamura smiled at her. "You're lucky you're going to marry a baker's son then." Miyamura chuckled, and Megumi placed her hand on top of his. They were on a private jet, so it wouldn't count as PDA.

—————————————————————-

They both landed at the airport, and stepped out of the private jet. Megumi's sister in law, Inori (now named Inori Takeshita) was going to be the one to drive her home that day. Inori waved at Megumi excitedly, and they both hugged. "I missed you so much, Inori nee-san." Megumi smiled (Inori nee-san means 'big sister Inori'). "Inori was about to say something, but then she noticed Miyamura trailing behind Megumi. Then, she noticed a ring on Megumi's ring finger and kept looking back and forth. By the time Inori connected two and two together, Megumi suddenly pulled her into the car as Miyamura put his and Megumi's bags in the trunk.

"I know you know I'm engaged. You glanced at Izumi, then my ring, then at Izumi, and then my ring, and then Izu-." Megumi was interrupted by Inori. "Yes, yes. Now what do you want me to do?" Inori spoke like she had just read Megumi's mid (which was very hard to read). "First of all, thank you so much. And second of all, all I want you to do is to not mention this to the family. As far as you're concerned, this conversation never happened." Megumi gave Inori a strict look, and Inori obeyed. "Understood. I missed you a ton, Megumi-chan." Inori gave Megumi another wide hug, but it was quite restricted since they were in the car.

Then, Miyamura entered and sat in the back seat next to Megumi. "I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but I can explai-." Miyamura was about to explain himself truthfully, but Megumi him a squeeze of the hand. "I got it, anata." She nodded, and Miyamura lightly chuckled as Inori left the back seat and sat in the driver's seat, keeping her word and not saying anything about the conversation she and Megumi just had.
