Sweeter then sugar n' spice (A Honey Senpai love story)

Dresses

I took a deep breath and made my way out the door, Allie had told me I was to wait outside the living room at 6:00 and was not to enter until my father opened the doors for me. She gave a quick curtsey as we parted ways then ran to help my sister. As I walked past the front doors I heard knocking, and after curiously looking out the peephole, I opened the door to let in Honey and Mori.

Honey stood, and looked me up and down whilst Mori pushed him inside. After an awkward silence I turned around and gestured for the boys to follow me. I lead them back up to my room, afraid that father could have them all in the guest room at the current time.

"Honey are you okay, you haven't said anything?" I asked, Honey nodded then after a few more seconds of silence opened his mouth and replied,

"We came back because your dad seemed really mad at you, we wondered if you were okay." Honey mumbled.

"My dads always like that" I replied, smiling at him, "So I'm okay, I promise." Honey smiled a little then found interest in his shoes. This awkward silence was broken about a minute later by Allie walking back in babbling away,

"That girl, she won't let me help, and she won't even wear her corset. Oh....hello again. Can I ask you something," she asked turning to Honey, "do you think that Karin looks like bride material?" Honeys face suddenly turned a bright shade of pink,

"She ..... she looks really pretty." He stated fumbling with his fingers. Allie nodded, clearly happy that he liked her "masterpiece".

"Well I'll leave you guys alone, I need to start cooking dinner," she hummed exiting.

Honey looked up suddenly,

"Did Hika-chan and Kao-chans mum make this?" I frowned and shook my head. Honeys face dropped, "but I thought..."he trailed off looking at me, then changed his expression back to his usual smile, "it looks just like one of her dresses, she always makes really pretty ones. I didn't know you were getting married this early, so I don't have a present for you but I can bring you some extra cake tomorrow, kay?" he beamed at me. My eyes narrowed,

"What do you mean getting married this early?" I asked, Honeys eyes widened,

"I didn't say that, I just said getting married....right Takeshi?" Honey looked up to Mori who nodded again without a sound. I shook my head slightly, I must have been tired.

"Oh and one more thing" Allie called popping her head around the corner and throwing me a box, "Allie and Bree came back from their trip. I found them when I was cleaning out your fathers closet" My eyes widened at the box in front of me. I ripped open the box with Honey's help and to my delight inside lay my two friends.

I pulled them both into a hug then sat them down on the end of my bed. Honey sat Usa-chan next to them,

"This is Billy and Bree" he beamed. I couldn't keep the smile off my face. I would be sure to talk to them both more after tonight, when everybody but Allie was gone. She said it was childish but at least she didn't call me weird or strange like most people would. Even if it was just Honey I would probably have told them both everything that had been going on, but somehow Mori seemed to cool. Even though he was with Honey and didn't make fun of him for that was different, Usa-chan was given to him by his grandmother, he didn't grow a "friendship" with them.

I looked up at the clock on the wall then quickly began to compose myself.

"You have to leave now" I said ushering them out quickly. Honey whined but complied, soon once I gave him a single firm look. Once I had finally got to the living room doors did I again check the time, this time on the old grandfather clock. I let out a sigh as the hour hand clicked over to six. I quickly composed myself then waited outside the door as I had been instructed.

After some time Kairi came sprinting round the corner, and upon seeing me let out an exhausted sigh.

"Has d...... uh father come out yet?" she asked, I shook my head then quickly helped her to fix up her dress. Just as we finished the doors opened, and a lady walked out with our father.

The lady looked us up and down with a blank expression, then in a second her face turned to that of pure delight,

"Oh you two look so beautiful, I had my doubts but seeing you in these dresses....it's just so nice to dress girls for once." she muttered the last bit looking down then quickly looked back up as my father placed his hand on her shoulder.

"Don't be so modest it's okay to tell them" He pushed her forward lightly.

"Okay...but first...girls do you like your dresses?" we both nodded then seeing the disappointed look on her face I thought that maybe she had chosen them and quickly added,

"We don't really wear dresses but ones as pretty as these should be worn," her face lit up again,

"Oh I'm so glad, because you see....I made them." My mouth dropped and I looked down upon my dress again. My sister nudged me and I quickly regained my previous posture.

"Your very talented" we chorused. her cheeks began to turn red.

"Girls," my father said sternly, "We want you to both know why you're here. You see...the company has gone through a rough patch at the moment." he looked down at the ground, seeming somewhat ashamed.

"But I offered your father some financial help of sorts, you see your both lovely women and I have two sons around about your age....Only if you don't decline, you will both be wed to them, then as our family will be joined so will our riches.....also I always wanted a daughter to take on my company once I'm gone." I nodded slightly, then took a deep breath as father opened the doors further.

"Boys, I would like to formally meet Karin, and Kairi" we entered on our fathers cue and once my eyes adjusted I found two young men standing in front of me. Both were bowing low, and as my eyes adjusted further, I could make out the features of the two. The two before me were both quite tall and were perfect reflections of each other, but what made my jaw drop was their too familiar matching smirks and auburn hair.....
