Chapter 10 - A Winter Fairy Tale

Mayu was humming as she made dinner for herself and Mori, it was unusual to have him there but it was only the second day of his stay, and she was already giddy with excitement. Her hands placed everything into the rice cooker, closed the lid, and hit the cook button, she then poured the hot green tea, she placed it on her dining table, and took a seat across from him. Her ruby irises were gleaming, he smiled at her, and she returned it while removing her phone so that she could check her bank balance.

"What does Kyoya know about you mother?"

She looked up at him then returned to her phone, "She's pregnant." Mori stared at her, "My father doesn't even know nor do my siblings. He told me because she went to one of the Ootori Hospitals and he felt that I should know about it."

"Why?"

"He's concerned that the child will look like me."

"Why would he be concerned about that?"

"I'm not sure. Must be something about how I was able to bring him back to his friends. You would have to ask him as I'm only speculating."

"I see."

She nodded, "But arrangements are being taken care of in case my little brother does turn out like me. And I'm excited because I'm going to have a little brother like you!"

He smiled at her, "What are the arrangements?"

"Selka will keep him if he doesn't look like me but if he does then I'll take care of him because she's more than likely going to give him up for adoption and I won't have that. It will be hard for me but I'll care for him, I won't let her give up my blood."

Takashi's eyes softened while she checked her bank account, his mind had turned to the day that she held Kotoko, and he leaned back in the chair while sipping his tea. "If only I didn't have to hold back..." he murmured. She looked up at him and tilted her head, he shook his own, and she returned to scrolling through the items, she got up, removed a notebook from a drawer along with a pen, and sat down to go over her expenses for the week. The Morinozuka male leaned forward, he propped his head on his hand while putting his elbow on the table. His eyes watched her as she wrote down everything, and there was that warm smile on his face. I wish I didn't have to but I can't. She's not ready or maybe it's the other way around. Maybe I'm the one who's not ready... Mayu put everything away then returned to her seat, "It's okay?"

"Yes. I always check at the end of the week to make sure."

"You're good at it."

Mayu grinned, "I did it with Shining Grove Tea so I know what I'm doing." She leaned forward, took his hands in hers, and whispered, "Why are you holding back for my sake?" He stared at her once more, "If you want to do something you should be able to do it without worrying about me. I'm fine Taka."

He leaned forward, kissed her hands, and whispered, "Don't worry about me so much alright?"

"But you worry about me all the time so I'm going to worry about you just like my Da and my Gammy. I even worry about Reiko and Mitsukuni and Yasuchika too! AND Haruhi and Tamaki, Kotoko, Kyoya, Kaoru, Hikaru, Nao, Tasuku, Jin, Kairi, Ren, Saki, and even Umehito and the Oshiro Family! Even Amara AND I even worry about your little brother, whom I haven't met yet!"
