"I will now leave you outside of Master Akashi's room." The maid respectfully says,  bowing solmenly as she walked away a little bit far from the room.

You watched her walk away before giving your attention at the door. You were choosing between on knocking because you're trying to be respectful or either just barged in without knocking because he did too,  barged in with an urgent meeting without being considerate that it is in fact,  already midnight.

You chose to go with just barging in without knocking at all.  Turning the knob,  you threw the door open and walked in straight forwardedly.

"What do you wa-" You stopped mid sentence,  a bright flare of crimson red dashing onto your face like it was dashing through the snow in a one horse open sleigh.

You immediately covered your eyes with your fingers,  turning around with a whoosh so now that you were facing the door.

"You sure are a naughty one,  (F/N)." Seijuro sighed as you hoped that he was now or preferrably,  already wearing a shirt.

But hey,  you saw him shirtless.

Way to go,  (F/N)!

"You can turn around now." Seijuro says,  a stern tone evident on his voice as you slowly but surely turned around, eyes still covered with your hands,  you moved your fingers a bit in order to see a little bit.

Upon seeing Seijuro now wearing a dark gray shirt,  you removed your hand off of your eyes as it plopped next to your waist.

You simply rocked back and forth on your heels,  whistling innocently like you saw nothing at all.

Nothing at all.

"So,  uh,  what did you call me for? " You cleared your throat upon before saying that as you continued to avoid awkward eye contact by just roaming around and looking at random objects in his room.

"I have received a letter from my parents just now." He said as he picked something up from the coffee table.  Your eyes immediately coursed through the room and landed on the red envelope that was sealed by a shiny shimmering golden seal.

"And...? " You awaited for his continuation,  your eyebrows furrowing as you awaited.

"This better not be because he wants me to open the damn letter for him." You internally said.

Upon not receiving any reply from Seijuro,  you scratched the back of your ear, sighing as you turned around and was about to exit out of the door not until...

"My parents have told me that we are invited to a dinner party held by SLMC or also known as Satoshi Liberal Management Corporations."

"By 'we' you mean you and your parents,  right? " You asked,  crossing your arms against your chest.

"Indeed.  The dinner party is about the engagement of mine and Megumi's."

"Ah." You replied,  you were unknown on how you were quite dismayed upon hearing this.

Yes,  you have fallen for Seijuro but you're now starting to doubt your own self.  Your feelings specifically .

"And you are coming with me whether they like it or not and whrther you like it or not."

Your eyes widened at his words,  feeling that your eyes bulged out of your eye sockets in short seconds.

"But-! "

" Whether you like it or not."

"This is also a part of my plan,  my love." He says, shifting a little bit on the sofa.

"Rule 5: You have to do what I say whether you like or dislike it.  I'll go as far as killing you if you disobey me." He explained as you could only nod.

"That was quite straight forward and malicious." You internally said,  gulping down as you breathed in and out.

"The dinner party will be held the day after tomorrow.  It will start during the evening. In the meantime, you have atleast 8 hours to rest in order for you to learn the basics of how to be presentable." He explained once again as you could only nod, scratching the back of your head with a little bit of annoyedness already.

"Are you saying I am not presentable? " You gasped, feeling quite offended with what he had just said.

"You? Presentable? I doubt it especially in your duck pajamas." He scoffed as you looked down at your pajamas before squinting your eyes at Seijuro,  judging him from afar.

There is nothing wrong with wearing duck pajamas!

"Wha- My duck pajamas are presentable! I just got them back from the laundry." You gasped, hugging your body as you secured your little non-existent baby ducklings.

"You are so childish." Seijuro scoffed as he stood up from his sofa and walked back to his bed,  quickly snuggling into his sheets.

"It's better that you go to sleep now.  You have a long day of torture tomorrow." Seijuro menacingly says as you cringe, although, as you can only keep doing,  you just nodded your head and made your way out of the door.

"Did I say you can leave my room?" Before you can even step foot outside of his room,  you were stopped by Seijuro's words.

"Uh,  you did say I should sleep now,  right?  So I'll be going back to my room now, thank you very much." You sarcastically said.

"I meant that you should sleep here, in my room,  on my bed,  next to me, idiot. "

"Eh?!" You gasped, blood quickly rushing toward your cheeks as it quickly showed off a bright red shade.
"We're going to get married soon.  It's best to get yourself used to sleeping next to me at a very early time as possible."

You just still stood there, not really wanting to go ahead and literally pounce on the spot next to the red head.

"Uh,  no thanks?" Your sentence became more a question than a sentence.  You turned around again and was about to head out.

"I think you're already forgetting rule #5, (F/N)." He says,  as you facepalmed.  You mentally cursed and sighed,  closing the door and finally giving in onto sleeping on his bed.

Though, you were atleast laying at the foremost edge of the bed, maybe a hundred meters away from him, your back facing him.

"What are you doing? " Seijuro questioned you as you were still left paralyzed.

" Trying to sleep." You quietly mumbled.

You heard Seijuro sigh and him shuffling around his bedsheet,  probably tucking himself already.

You let out a sigh of relief that you were glad that he didn't make you do something else.

You closed your eyes, closely onto falling asleeo not until you let out a highpitched scream,  feeling your body getting pulled as you immediately found the radiating warmth of a body.

"What are you doing?!" You asked out of shock as your face was buried against his chest,  his arms around your waist. Your face was bright as a cherry that can probably make Rudolph's nose scowl in failure.

"Isn't this what wedded couples do when they sleep?"

A/N: It's the first time I got pissed off in August. Wow. This classmate of mine, groupmate, is seriously annoying the living hell in me. He keeps bossing us around and acting like he is the leader, which he isn't. To top it all off, 2 of my classmates, one being my bestfriend, got a crush on my crush and they keep saying, 

"Hoy, Shanella! Baka makagalit ka ah." which roughly translates to:

"Hey, Shanella! You might get mad." And they literally kept saying that even though I had also said I'm not mad. So, with all the repeats, I got mad and snapped at them.

Sigh, So much ignorant people these days. :(
