Leaning up, you kiss the cheek of your boyfriend. The two of you have been going out for about three months, and two months ago, he officially asked you to be his girlfriend. You haven't gotten very touchy yet. Usually, you're just holding hands and hugging, occasionally kissing each other's cheek or forehead. It's been a slow romance, though a sweet one.
Interrupting you, the door swings open behind you. With a bit of a panic, you turn around and find your mom. Neither of your parents know that you've been dating. It's not that you aren't allowed to, you just haven't found the right time or method to say anything.
"Oh!" she exclaims, "Who's this?" Smiling.
Sugawara bows a little, then looks back up. "I'm Koushi Sugawara."
"Are you her boyfriend?" asks your mother immediately.
Shielding him, you say to her, "He is and he is going home."
"Where are your manners?! Sugawara Kun, would you like some tea?"
"Oh, I couldn't inconvenience you like that!"
"No, no! I insist! Come in! Come in!" She starts to usher him inside.
Frowning, you follow suit and make your way inside, kicking off your shoes. This is exactly why you didn't want your parents finding out. You knew they would blow this way out of proportion. Dread hits you like a rock. Your father will likely go overprotective mode next.
"Who's this?" asks that very man, raising his eyebrows toward your boyfriend.
Defensively, you stand between the two males, facing your father. "He is Koushi Sugawara, and he also happens to be my boyfriend. He's just inside for tea and will be leaving. And you will treat him with kindness and respect, or I will legally disown you."
"N/n!" Sugawara grabs your shoulders lovingly. "It's okay!"
He waddles over to your father, extending his hand for a shake. "It's so nice to meet you! I was just dropping your lovely daughter off from our date when your beautiful wife came outside. As N/n said, I'm just having tea and then I'll be out of your hair!"
Questioningly, your father looks at you, though you only glare in return. Grumbling. the man extends his hand and shakes Koushi's lazily, muttering out a, 'Nice to meet you.'
Awkwardly, the three of you sit in the living room as your mom makes tea. Sugawara is polite and try to make conversation, but you and your father glare at each other and make snide comments. Your mother comes back out and Sugawara drinks his tea happily, getting along with her well.
"I'll bring my cup into the kitchen." he says.
"Oh, I can do it!" You stand up, trying to take it from him.
"Nonsense! I'm not lazy, N/n!" He gets up and walks to the kitchen, humming.
With a pout, you remember that dinner still needs to be started, Sighing, you go in to at least start on that. However, what you find is the silver- haired boy washing your dishes.
"Koushi Sugawara! What are you doing?!" you whisper-shout at him.
"Hmm?" Turning around, he wears a smile, "I noticed that your sink was full. I'll just do these and head out!"
"You- I'm not letting you do my dishes! You- you- you- ugh! You're my boyfriend, not maid!" "Sugarcube," he whines. "I just wanna help out."
You pinch the bridge of your nose and shake your head, exhaling a sigh, "'Fine. Fine. You do that while I start dinner."
"Okie dokie!" He goes back to work, humming along,
"Gah! Stupid rice!" you shout, trying to make onigiri.
Your molds snapped awhile back, but you've been craving it. "Doing it by hand, they said. It'll be easy, they said. Bull crap."
"Here!" Sugwara comes over, arms out and a bounce in his step. "I just finished the dishes, so I can help!"
"No! You go home or stay to eat! Not to work!"
"It's just onigiri! Don't worry."
"I'm not letting you do my housework! That's not okay!!"
"N/n, dear." Your mom pops in. "Is dinner- oh! The dishes are done! Thank you so much, sweetheart."
Glaring at him, you say, '"Koushi Senpai did them. I came in here to start dinner and he was washing the dishes."
"You have such a sweet boyfriend! He's such a keeper!"
While your ears turn bright red, he just smiles at her. "No, no! I'm happy to help! But she won't let me help with dinner!"
"Let her do the cooking, okay? It's her night. But please! Stay for the meal!"
"No, I don't wanna be an inconvenience!"
"Not at all! You're great company! I wish you were my son! I'd gladly trade N/n in for you!" "MOM!!"
Now serious, he grabs onto you. "She's the best ever! Way to good for me!"
"Koushi Senpai! You're embarrassing me!"
Giggling. your mom butts in, "Aren't you two adorable? C'mon, Sugawara-Kun. Let's wait for N/n to finish dinner."
They walk out, all smiles and laughter. Pouting. you go back to cooking, slightly irritated. She likes him more than me! I'm her daughter! I should be the favorite! That traitor!! After a while, you finally finish with the food. Once everything is placed on a tray, you take it into the living room. To your horror, Sugawara is sweeping. Dusting, and mopping all at once. And the whole while, he's chatting with your parents casually.
"KOUSHI!! SUGAWARA!!! PUT!! THE!! BROOM! AND!!! DUSTER!! AND! MOP!!! DOWN!! NOW!!!" "Oh, is dinner ready?" Casually, he smiles at you. "I'm sorry for not helping you cook, but I cleaned the living room. It's not perfect but-"
"SIT DOWN, DANG ITI!! SIT DOWN AND EAT!!!"
"Just let me finish-"
You take him by the shoulders and force him at the table.
Slamming the plate in front of him, you command, "Eat or we're breaking up."
"B-b- b- but I was just trying to help!"
"And I said to eat! Now, Sugawara Senpai."
He gets a hurt look on his face. "You never call me that-"
"Well, if you don't like it, eat your dinner."
With sad eyes, he turns to his food and starts eating. "Are you happy now?"
"No, but this will suffice."
After he eats, you practically have to beg him to leave, as he begs to let him help out. Once outside, you gently close the door, feeling exhausted.
"Are you mad at me?" he asks, sounding depressed.
"No." You turn to him, "I just don't want you to be working at my house. You're my guest and should be treating as such. Besides, I don't want to let you be a maid when you're my boyfriend."
"Sugarcube, I just like helping and taking care of you. I'm graduating this year, and - and I gotta start planning for my future. High school relationships don't usually last forever, but I hope ours does. And, if it does, I don't wanna wait to take care of you. I wanna take care of you now." Blushing, you come to a great realization. I want to marry this man.
"I mean, it's very possible we don't last forever:"
"Right, but even if we don't. I can still said I took good care of you and did my very best. I can know that while it ended, I did everything I possibly could and it wasn't my fault."
"Koushi Senpai! Like I could ever dump you! You- you're literally the sweetest!  I'd be leaving the best thing that ever happened to me! Besides, I don't think my parents would let me. They love you."
"Aww, I'm happy they like me. I was worried they'd think I wasn't good enough for you."
"You just cleaned the living room and did the dishes. They think I'm not good enough for you." "Nonsense! You're perfect, sugar!"
"Yeah, well they don't think so."
"Ngh" 

"I don't like that."
" You lean up and kiss his cheek. "
"Good night. You go home, okay?"
"Wait. Today.. I really wanted- I was hoping to-"
"To what?"
"Can I kiss you?" He squeezes his eyes shut and shrinks back, seeming to expect the worse.
"Like on the lips?"
Your heart races and heat rises to your face. Is this really happening? Are you really about to have your first kiss?
Quickly, you mutter, "Please, do."
He opens his eyes, staring a few moments. A blush comes onto his handsome features, even tinting his ears red. With a moment's hesitation, he leans down and cups your cheek, tilting your face up. Ever so slowly, he comes closer and closer, until his lips touch yours, soft and gentle as silk. You place your hand over his, which still rests on your cheek. Returning the kiss, all you can think is, I'm definitely gonna marry him someday.
