Chaos in the Tea House

Chapter 13

Naomi rushes around and serves some of the guests that arrived for some reason they had an influx of customers. Meanwhile, Takahashi's siblings we either pushed out into the courtyard or put to work in the tea house.

Touya walks into the bustling tea house and stays against the wall to stay out of people's way. Naomi looks at him and calls out.

"Touya-Kun! You can head out to the courtyard. It is less crowded there and Taiju should still be out there with Tao and Tsubakihime." Touya nods along and slinks his way out into the beautifully cleaned courtyard. Which was quiet in contrast with the high activity in the main tea house. Taiju takes off his glasses cleaning them off before putting them back on to look over at Touya.

"You decided to come back?" He asks curiously and Touya rolls his eyes, sitting down on a bench with the book he picked up.

"Obviously. I am here aren't I?" Taiju waved his hand, disregarding what his oldest brother said

"Anyways, Tokie and Tsukika decided to head back home. They messaged me about it. So, it is just you, Tao, Tsubakihime, and myself... Did you know that Takahashi's girlfriend is a grim reaper?" He asks and Touya replies

"Yeah, what of it? If he wants to date her I don't care. It has nothing to do with..." He stops when he smells something sweet and he senses a presence behind him. Taiju falls off of the bench and looks back at the figure.

"Who are you?!" Taiju screams and Touya calmly turns around, looking over his shoulder. The young man behind him smiles mischievously, holding onto one part of Touya's headband.

"This is my house, who are all of you?" Nikita asks untying the dark blue headband, pulling it off of Touya's head. Touya glares at him and replies

"I am Touya, that is Taiju. We are Takahashi's siblings. Now, who are you?" Nikita plays with the smooth fabric that comprised the headband.

"I am Nikita, Naomi's brother. The most attractive person here." He boasts and both of the spider siblings have to hold back their laughter. Touya stands up, towering over Nikita asking.

"Oh really? Who decided that you were the most attractive person here?" Before Nikita knew it, the headband was tied tightly around his wrists and Touya holds it pulling Nikita closer. Nikita winces at how tightly he has been bound.

"Ah-I... The patrons of course." Nikita replies cooly, winking at him. Touya scoffs and leans in closer, whispering into Nikita's ear.

"You only look average at best." He pulls away and looks at Nikita's face which has turned a light shade of pink, either out of frustration or his own unholy thoughts. Touya pushes him away and mutters something under his breath.

Kokoro finally runs into the courtyard, looking over at Nikita shouting.

"So, this is where you ran off too! You couldn't wait for me to wake up?!" He fumes and totally ignores all of the other people that are just chilling in the courtyard. Kokoro glares at him and notices the headband tied around his wrists, balling up his fists. He punches Nikita square in the jaw and yells.

"You never change, Huh?! I thought that we could've fixed our relationship, but here you go again fooling around with other people. Seriously Nikita!" Before anyone can explain Kokoro turns into an owl and flies away. Touya looks over at Nikita's crumpled up form laying on the ground and he remarks.

"So, you are a scummy playboy? Hmm..." Nikita sits up slowly and glares at Touya, before using his teeth to loosen the headband tied around his wrists. He finally gets it off and stands up, tossing it at Touya.

"Oh fuck off spider kid." He taunts him and storms off to his room, slamming the sliding door.

Naomi sits in the kitchen, readjusting her hairpin that got knocked out of place when she was serving people earlier. She lets out and yawn, beginning to stretch out a bit. Soon, she feels hands combing through her hair, gently fixing all of the decorations that were strewn throughout her long hair.

"Takahashi.." she murmurs, closing her eyes and leaning back slightly into his touch. Takahashi leans down and kisses her forehead, asking.

"Are you sleepy? I'm sure we can sneak away and take a nap in my room." He suggests and moves to pick her up, but Heisuke catches them.

"Hey hey! Where do you guys think you are scuttling off to? Do you think you can leave all of the cleaning to me and Huiyin?" He asks, raising an eyebrow before moving closer to them.

Takahashi picks Naomi up bridal style and looks back at Heisuke, smiling innocently. Before asking.

"What do you mean? We aren't scuttling anywhere... we are running!" He dashed out of the main house and made a b-line to his room, waving his hand to flick the door open. He closes it behind them in similar fashion and gently he sits Naomi on the bed. They look at each other for a little bit before beginning to laugh. Takahashi lays his head on Naomi's lap and says

"You should've seen the look on your dad's face when we booked it. He looked like the scream painting! His hands were on his face like 'oh noooo!!!'" Naomi smiles down at Takahashi and gently pinches his cheek.

"You are so adorable at times, Taka." She teases and begins to take all of the different hair ornaments out, sitting them on Takahashi's nightstand.

"Before we go to bed, can you lend me a hoodie and some shorts? I wouldn't want to sleep in my kimono and get it all wrinkly." Naomi explains and Takahashi smiles, pointing towards a neatly folded pile of clothes on his desk.

"There are some clothes over there you can borrow." He says and sits up, allowing her to go change into something more comfortable.

Nikita sits in his room, sulking as he looks up at the ceiling.

"I can't have anything nice. First, Kokoro hates me. Then we get back together. Then there is this big misunderstanding and then I'm painted out to be the asshole. This is stupid." He mumbles to himself, before deciding to get up and walk around the courtyard in hopes to clear his head. He steps out into the chilly early winter air, beginning his walk around. He is only about fifteen minutes into his leisurely walk; when he feels like he is being followed and that he is.

"What are you doing walking out in the cold for playboy?" Touya taunts him and Nikita grits his teeth, before turning to look up at him.

"Why don't you just leave me alone? You disgusting arachnid." Nikita sneers and goes to punch him, but Touya grabs his forearm easily stopping the shorter man.

"Hm? What was that? I don't think I heard you." He mocks and pulls Nikita closer, leaning in to get a better look at him.

"I said leave me alone!" Nikita shouts and tries pulling away, only to feel himself getting more restrained.

"You stupid mean bug." He mutters, beginning to stop his futile attempt at getting away.

"Just... leave me alone.." Nikita whimpers out, reaching his breaking point as tears begin to race down his cheeks and he sinks to the ground. Touya backs away slightly and looks down at Nikita, before carefully scooping him up into his arms.

"It's getting cold and late. How about we go inside?" He asks, practically talking to himself as Nikita is wallowing in his own self-pity.

Is this getting kinda hard to read or is it just me?
Am I right? 😂 😅
Seriously, to me it seems that my writing is getting a bit more jumbled and chaotic... then again that might just be me. Please let me know if it seems wonky.
Anyways, thank you so much for taking the time to read my chaotic mess! 😊 💕
