Sugarpie Honeybunch ▪ Mori (Editing)

9 (edited)

When Mori woke up that morning, it was due to the smell of food and almost silent giggling. His eyes groggily moved from the empty loveseat to the kitchen where they soon rested on his cousin laughing with a petite foreigner.
He moved his eyes back to the blanket covering him and then to Marianna as she sat at the breakfast bar, a man moving around in the kitchen.
The blanket dropped to cover his lower half when he sat up, rubbing his face and glancing around.
Honey was the person to look over, catching the sight of Mori groggily looking around.
"Takashi~" Honey practically sang as he leaped in the air and into his cousins arms. "Marianna's butler came by this morning and offered to make us breakfast."
The Latina smiled at Mori, a small blush settling on her face as she did. "Go wash up, the food will be ready soon."
Mori nodded once and followed Honey to the bathroom as they brushed their teeth and washed their face, the Tsukasa butler providing them with the things they needed.
When they finally walked out, Marianna was already setting the table with food set out before them. The foods seemed foreign to the boys, the couple items they recognized being rice, kimchi and egg rolls. It was when the butler walked over with a pot of soup that Mori recognized him. He was the man that Marianna helped at the bus stop that one day. Looking over to the girl, he watched as she seemingly thanked him for the food before offering him a bowl of rice. The man smiled and sat with them at the table. His eyes never leaving Marianna until his saw her begin to eat.

The four ate in silence. No one began conversation until after everyone was done and the Tsukasa butler was gathering the dishes. "Honey, your phone is ringing." Marianna said as she tossed the boy his phone. He caught it smoothly and flipped it open, his eyes going wide as he listened intently

Mori rested a large hand on Honey's shoulder, a small gesture questioned who was on the phone. After Honey hung up he shrugged, "Mom, says to be back before dinner."

Mori nodded once, running a hand through his hair as he watched the butler wash the dishes they used. Marianna came in then, still in her pajamas with an agenda in her hands. She opened the fridge and wrote a few things down before closing it again and going through the cabinets one by one.

Marianna turned to the boys with a smile, "I have to go to the market today for some things, would you guys like to come along? We can get ice cream on the way there."

Honey nodded enthusiastically, his eyes gleaming and cartoon flowers floating around his pretty little head. "Can we go to a commoners market?"

Marianna smiled, "We can. There's one not too far from here."

"We have to get dressed." Mori reminded the two.

Marianna turned to her butler and smiled, "Can you bring their bags in, please?" He nodded once and left to a door just to his right.

"Your mom sent a staff member down early this morning to drop off some stuff for you."

"Go get dressed, hurry!" Honey cheered as the butler came back in with their bags.

Marianna laughed as she listened to him, her tan legs moving down the hall, Mori watching her every step. "You love her."

Takashi jumped back, lightning crashing behind his panic stricken face. He shook his head furiously, his ears going from pink to red in seconds. Honey was back at his seat, "Stop lying, Takashi." Mori sighed, his steely eyes glancing over to his cousin. "You planned this."

It wasn't accusatory. Mori already knew what his cousin was up to and he didn't mind it. Marianna walked in then, her tan legs clad in a short pair of cotton shorts. Mori could see the muscles in her thigh as she walked. She wore a loose white tank top with the cotton shorts. Her short silver hair was left to air dry and her face was left bare of makeup, glasses sitting on her nose. She was beautiful.

"Do you want to walk or ride to the store?" She asked the boys, leaning against the island.

"You have your license, Mari?" Honey asked. Marianna stopped short, her hand reaching up to scratch her cheek, "My license is only valid in Korea."

"We can just walk, it isn't far right?"

Marianna nodded, her smile small, "Sure, let me get my grocery cart. You both can go up to my room and change there if you'd like. You can keep the clothes you're wearing too, don't worry about it."
The boys looked at each other and shrugged before going up to her room, taking turns changing in the small adjoined bathroom.

When the trio walked up to the store front she certainly was not expecting to run into Kyoya. And certainly not him looking as disheveled as he did. He wore a tan button up, jeans, and brown sandals. He looked, relaxed. "Ootori. How are you doing today?" Marianna asked after she caught his gaze.

"I'm quite fine, thank you for asking, although I am rather irritated." He answered. "I don't seem to have my phone or my wallet as Tamaki woke me in the early hours of the morning."

Marianna laughed, her angelic giggle making Kyoya smile slightly, "Come, I'll treat you to lunch then, we were just on our way to grab some ourselves. I know a place down the plaza."

Mori and Honey walked with the two, looking at shops aimlessly. Mori had Honey on his shoulders as they walked into a small cafe. They placed their orders and sat quietly, Mori clutching Marianna's hand underneath the table.
"If you don't mind me asking, how did you end up here?"

"As I said before, Tamaki woke-" Kyoya said irritably before he was cut off by Takashi.

"Why?"

Kyoya glanced at his expression. To anyone else, it would appear stoic but he saw the slight irritability in his eyes. "I don't know. He wanted to experience a commoners market."

"Without us?" Honey asked, his eyes wide and watery. Kyoya took one glance before looking away and pushing his glasses up.
"He was going to invite the club sometime soon."

Marianna smiled at Honey, "don't worry, I'm sure Tamaki just wanted to check out the area and make sure you all would have a good time when he invited you."

Lunch went smoothly, small talk being exchanged amongst the four before a sweaty Tamaki appeared. "Kyoya!"
He gasped and panted, reaching for the pitcher of water on the table and guzzling it down comically. He went on a huge rant about looking everywhere for him before Marianna cut him off.

"Why did you just ask the shopper support desk for help? They would have made an announcement, Tama-chan."

Tamaki melted, literally. A sweatdrop fell from his head and he flaunted an exhausted expression. He obviously didn't know he could do that. The group chuckled a bit at his expense before pulling up a seat and continuing lunch.
