Yokozawa Takafumi's Mistakes (Sekai ichi Hatsukoi fanfic)

Mistake #1

            Before Yokozawa knew it he was trapped. Or well maybe that's not the right way to phrase it. After all he did choose this path. Sighing Yokozawa snapped out of his thoughts to focus on finishing vacuuming. Yokozawa had been doing housework including the dishes, dusting, and straightening up items. Normally he loathed using the house key that was forced upon him when no one was at the Kirishimas apartment but this time was different.
              Well forced upon may not necessarily be right but saying that he actually wanted the key is something his pride would never allow. Normally being alone never bothered him much but after being pulled into the Kirishima's family, he has started to notice that being alone for too long was depressing. Of course this realization pissed Yokozawa off. Especially when work has been so hectic for the month with going over proposals or going on business trips that he has had no time to visit
Kirishima or Hiyori.
               Yokozawa missed his partner and their adorable daughter. He missed their beaming smiles and the greeting of 'welcome home' when he walked through the door. Not that he would voice this since that would be inviting merciless teasing. Not that Kirishima needed any help finding reasons to tease Yokozawa.
              This Saturday after many hours of debate and hesitation he made a surprise visit. Yokozawa was a little thrown off when he found the door locked and Hiyori and Kirishima not home, but he did make this visit without informing anyone. Either way there was no way Yokozawa was going to back down now and he stayed at the house. He felt restless and nervous which is how he ended up on his current cleaning spree. Shaking his head to clear his thoughts once again, Yokozawa glanced at the clock noticing that it was 6:30 pm.

"That late already, huh. I should probably start making dinner," Yokozawa announced to the empty house.

"Meow" was the unexpected response. Oh yeah Sorata is here. I forgot. The cat came over and started nuzzling against his legs. He reached down to pet the cat.

"I'm sorry Sorata. You are probably hungry,"Yokozawa said apologetically. He walked to the kitchen with Sorata following closely behind. Yokozawa opened a can of tuna and poured it into Sorata's bowl. Turning away he started moving through the kitchen to gather the equipment and ingredients to make chicken katsu curry since he knew it was Hiyori's favorite dish. He put on a black apron. Then, Yokozawa set to work making dinner. He was so focused on his task that he missed the sound of the door opening and closing which announced the Kirishimas return.

Both Kirishima and Hiyori were exhausted. They had gone to pick out a dress for Hiyori. A trip that should have gone relatively quickly ended up taking hours. Who knew the mall would be so crowded!

"Papa look," Hiyori said, noticing Yokozawa's shoes. Kirishima quickly glanced at the shoes before looking at his daughter raising his eyebrows. The silent question of 'did you know we were expecting a visitor ?' passed between the two.
                Sounds came from the kitchen which caught their attention. Kirishima tipped his head toward the kitchen and Hiyori nodded. The two silently approached the kitchen to investigate.The sight that greeted them made both of them smile and forget about their exhaustion. Yokozawa had set the table and was in the process of putting the finishing touches on dinner. Moving with extra care Kirishima went behind Yokozawa and wrapped his around his chest.

"I didn't expect that mama bear would be here waiting for our return. You must have really missed me," he whispered teasingly into his younger partner's ear.

"Whaaa-I-I wasn't and I-I didn't miss you. What the hell if you were home then why did you not say anything!" Yokozawa snapped his face turning red from embarrassment. "And let go of me" Yokozawa demanded making an attempt to free himself from Kirishima's strong grip. Kirishima complied with the request mostly because he wanted to see Yokozawa's pissed off yet embarrassed face.
