18 The Reveal

  Y/N paces back in forth in front of Hanma who was sitting on the couch, manspreading with his arms on the headrest. "Y/N, you'll get dizzy if you keep pacing back and forth."

"I don't know what to do!" She exclaims anxiously, "What- what if when I tell them about this, about us, won't they feel betrayed? Why I kept quiet for months?"

He sighed, rubbing the bridge of his nose with his fingers, "Y/N. Calm down. We'll think about this. Come here."

She followed and sat beside him, fingers fidgeting anxiously, "Mikey, my brother..." She exhaled and then rested her head on his shoulder. "I'm not ready to spill things yet." She crossed her arms.

"I am here for you, Y/N. I promised. I will never leave your side." His words comforted her anxious mind with his gentle voice, a stark contrast to how he usually treats everyone.

"Hanma...." She hugs him tightly, burying her face in the crook of his neck, "Will you stay by my side when I am ready to tell them?"

He hums softly, his lips on her ear, "I will always be by your side, no matter what."

"Wake me up early tomorrow, okay?"
"Alright, baby."

The clock ticks pre-dawn. Hanma is right beside her, hugging her tight as he sleeps soundly while she hasn't slept a wink. She glances at the small clock on the nightstand, 3 a.m.

She couldn't sleep, worried about how her brother and the other members would react. Though she hasn't told the girls, she's worrying about her brother more.

Hours passed, morning came and she only got sleep just a couple of hours. They prepared for the news. She fixed his tie and polo shirt to relieve her anxiety. He watches her with love, "You're acting like my wife now." He smiles, placing an arm on the small of her back as he leans close to kiss her forehead.

She smiles softly, "I hope I become one." She looks up at him in awe.

After they prepared themselves, they held hands and went out of his Penthouse, driving to the Headquarters.

As usual, the members are wandering around, and the guards and low-ranked members are wearing the iconic black uniform with their names on it. They greeted them as they entered the building. They walked inside, and the members were already sitting comfortably on the couches, armrests, and anywhere they could find. On one small chair, sits Mikey, Draken sitting on the armrest.

"What's the news, Shuji? Why did you call for us?" Mikey asks, sipping a glass of wine as he tops his short leg over the other. He's like a boss. He just had his new haircut, returning his long, blond, hair to his short, black, curtain hairstyle.

Y/N looks at the man beside her, his hand on her waist slightly pressing. He clears his throat, "Mikey, I know you're suspecting something. Alexis De Castro..."

"Is Y/N." He reveals, his voice low and grumbling.

Everyone in the room was surprised, their eyes shot wide, mouths agape. They were flabbergasted by the news. Mikey's reaction was priceless. He unconsciously lets go of the glass, Draken's fast senses picking up the falling glass before it shatters on the ground. He runs up to her, placing both hands on her shoulders, his voice breaking, "Y- Y/N.... Is- Is that really yo- you?"

She looks at him, the look of sadness and longing, "Yes, brother. It's me.... Sano Y/N."

The siblings hugged each other tightly, followed by Shinichiro and Emma, having their family group hug.

"I missed you guys...." She sobs softly, her voice quivering.

"We missed you too, Y/N. So much. So damn much." Shinichiro whispers, kissing her head.

As Hanma watches the lovely reunion, he clears his throat once again, catching their attention. "And I have another news."

He steps towards her, gently pulling her away from her siblings. He wraps an arm around her waist, his other hand splayed on her still-flat belly, "Y/N is having my child inside her."

Everyone gasped, some were happy, and some were... too surprised.

Mikey comes up to him, gripping the collar of his shirt while Shinichiro and Emma hold him back, "What did you do to my sister?! Did you force her?! How could you not tell me? Or are you doing this so she won't break up with you once again-"

"Partially." One answer from him had everyone in the room silent, "I don't want Y/N to be separated from me anymore. I love her, she loves me. Back when we broke up, she had an excuse. But I believe that she'll tell you when she's ready. A few days ago, I asked Mikey for an answer."

He glances at him, "Will you do me the honor to have your youngest sister's hand in marriage?"

Everyone gasps, supporting him. Y/N was shocked, "You talked to my brother about marriage?"

He turns his head to look at her, "Yes, Y/N. I asked for your brother's permission, including Emma and Shinichiro. They responded well, and all I needed was his permission and your reply."

Mikey hesitates for a moment, "Promise me you won't hurt her."

"I will never hurt nor raise my voice to the woman I only love." He responds calmly.

Mikey sighs, "I can't help you both. Just don't try to ruin yourselves."

Hanma nods and kneels on one knee in front of her, grabs a small red box from his pocket, opens it, and shows it to her, a diamond ring he made an effort to craft.

The girls giggle as they watch the romantic show, Takemicchi holding Hinata's waist while kissing her head. Mikey looks at Y/N expectantly, hoping for an answer. The other members smirk as they watch them. Emma clings to her brother, Shinichiro, as they wait for the iconic question. His eyes soften as he looks up at her with adoration, his voice gentle.

"Sano Y/N. Will you marry me?"
