Breakfast

Waking up, Hana washed up and walked into the kitchen grabbing a mug to make tea. Then turning away from the cabinet she jumped in surprise to see her parents. 

"Mom, Dad, why didn't you guys give me a call first?" She asked.

"How are you doing sweetheart?" Her mom replied. 

"I'm fine," She answered. 

"He's on his way to eat breakfast with you," Said her dad.

"Does he really need to eat breakfast with me?" Hana replied upset.

"If he's going to be your fiance then I don't see why not," Her dad replied.

Hana turned back to the cabinet and was about to take out three more mugs but stopped when she heard her dad say, "Were not staying."

"What? Why?" Hana asked turning back towards her parents.

"Because sweetie it's only you two that are going to eat together," Her mom replied.

"Just me and him?" 

"Yep, just the two of you." Her mom replied answering her.

"We're leaving now so behave yourself," Her dad said getting up to leave.

"Alright then," Hana replied and watched as her parents left.

7:30 am

As soon as Hana heard the door bell ring she went to open it. Standing outside her door Hiro stood there slightly smiling. 

"You must be Hiro?" Hana asked to make sure.

"And you must be Hana," Hiro replied.

"Come in," Hana said allowing Hiro to step into her home.

"Nice place you have here," Hiro said looking around with his eyes.

"I suppose so," Hana replied tucking a piece of hair behind her ear.

"So... we're supposed to have breakfast here."

"Yeah, I'll lead you to the dining room."

Walking along through the living Hiro noticed that Hana didn't really have any pictures of her parents only pictures of nature. She also didn't have any pictures of herself. When they reached the dining room Hiro stood by the door frame with a confused look.

"Sorry I didn't know what you liked to eat so... did I make to much?" Hana said shyly.

Laughing Hiro replied, "No, it's alright it's understandable. Let's just eat."

Hiro pulled a chair for Hana and then took his seat.

While they ate, they didn't really have a conversation instead they had awkward stares at each other. 

"So, you like nature?" Hiro said taking a sip of his orange juice.

"Hmm? Yes, I do," Hana replied after swallowing her food.

"You don't have many pictures of your parents or your family," Hiro spoke again.

Putting down her silverware Hana stopped eating.

"Are you no longer hungry?" Hana asked looking up at Hiro.

"I think I've had my fill," Hiro replied.

"Alright then," Hana said standing up to collect the dishes.

After collecting them she headed into the kitchen. Hiro watched as she walked into the kitchen and placed the dishes into the sink. Turning away he stared at the flower pattern table cloth before him. 

Hana stood in front of the sink letting the water run. Suddenly she heard heard someone come into the kitchen.

"I thought you could use a hand," Hiro said as he walked beside Hana.

"It's alright, you're my guest," Hana replied.

"I'm also your fiance," Hiro pointed out.

"...fine," Hana said moving to the side. 

While they washed the dishes Hana asked, "How do you feel about this arrangement?"

"Well I definitely wasn't ready," Hiro replied honestly. 

"Did you already have someone in mind?" 

"Yes, I did but it won't matter anymore."

"Oh."

"And you Hana? Did you have someone in mind as well?" Hiro asked back.

"I did but it'll never work out," She replied.

"And why's that?"

"Because it's just a hopeless dream now."

When they were done washing the dishes they dried their hands.

"Did you tell him?" Hiro asked with a curious glance at Hana.

"I did... and he just wished me luck... and just like that everything was over," Hana replied tears in her eyes. 

"Hey, I'm sorry," Hiro said as he pulled her into a hug.

"It's okay, it's not your fault Hiro," she replied holding back her tears. 

Backing up from him, Hana asked back, "Did you tell her?" 

"I did as well, and she hopes that you'll take good care of me and love me like how she did," Hiro replied looking at Hana.

"She's a strong person," Hana said smiling. 

"She is."

"I'm sorry for you too."

"It's okay, everything is supposed to be in the past now," Hiro said trying to smile.

"Yeah I guess we'll both heal," Hana said ending their conversation.
