For His Happiness

Chapter 14: The Aftermath

Alfred took Kiku back to his place by 12:10 am.

"Hey, do you think your mom would be ok with us?" Alfred asked once he pulled over and opened the door for Kiku. Of course, he wouldn't dare to ask about Yao's (or Ivan's) opinion because we all know how's that going to work.

Kiku got off from the car and thanked him before saying: "She likes you already. So I'm pretty sure she will be fine with us."

Just then, Mrs. Honda went out from the house. "There you are! So how was the prom?"

"It was fun, actually."

"Yeah! A lot of things happened"

She eyed them suspiciously and said, "You two looked a little... flushed. Did something happen?"

Alfred only blinked while Kiku stumbled on his words before he answered, "Oh, nothing really. We had just a long night, in which I will tell you later."

"Yes," the blond joined in. "In fact, we did some dancing back there, and I believe Kiku had a record of it on his phone."

"I see," said Mrs. Honda. "Well then, it's getting late. Alfred-san, thank you for bringing him home, and you should go back now as soon as possible. I hope I'll see you next time you visit. And please, send my regards to Francis-san and Arthur-san."

"I will, Mrs. Honda," Alfred said. "And you're welcome." He bowed. "Oyasumi."

"Oyasumi," the older woman also bowed.

He turned to his partner. "Good night, Mr. Honda."

Kiku smirked and replied with the same mischief, "Good night, Mr. Jones."

After one last nod, Alfred drove away and disappeared in the distance. Meanwhile, Mrs. Honda, noticing the hints, came up behind him and said, "So, tell me what exactly happened."

"I can't believe you're finally going out with him," Matthew said eagerly and opened up the lights as he and his brother were moving upstairs to their foster fathers' room (who were, apparently, shared the same room but sleep in separate beds).

"I know!" Alfred exclaimed happily. "I've been waiting for him to say yes and I was literally crying inside when he finally confessed!"

"Are you going to tell Father and Papa?" Matthew asked. They were a few feet away from the master's bedroom.

"Heck Yeah! I'm going to tell them now!"

Matthew grabbed the knobbed and twisted it. "'Can't wait to see how- 'the fuck just happened?"
