Moonlight Dances

Chapter 20: Haya

The next morning, Yuyu's mother and father weren't home. Her mom was a fire fighter, her dad was a grocery store owner. Yuyu has three brothers. Two of them were half brothers, one was her brother. The older two were from previous relationships of both parents. The younger one, still older than Kaoruko, was her whole brother?

"Rat 1, can you make breakfast?" Yuyu asked.

"Hell n-" he turned around and saw Nejire. "Oh... um, sure." He grumbled. He liked Nejire so...

Nejire was just wearing a pair of clothes Yuyu let her wear. Yuyu wore chains a lot, making Nejire look a bit out of character. She wore one of her less 'edgy' outfits. A simple striped shirt with a flower design scattered, and a leather skirt.

Her Older brother, Ichiro served breakfast for them. He had black hair, obviously from his dad, not Yuyu's mom. The second oldest was mixed and had light brown skin and curly light brown hair. The third oldest had glasses and scarlet hair like Ms.Haya.

"Good Morning!" Nejire smiled. She was friends with all of Yuyu's brothers. She was surprised she didn't see any of them yesterday.

"What'd Mikio do?" The second oldest, Yukio asked. He was always in everyone's business. It was honestly funny.

"Drinking and sneaking out. My friend drove me here."

"Why didn't you stay at her place?"

"She's a twenty six year old woman, her fiancé is home, and he makes me uncomfortable."

Once both girls finished breakfast, Yuyu dragged Nejire outside. Yukio was gonna drive Nejire home. Yuyu was just going along with her.

Sugar Pea: I'm on my way from Yuyu's

Mother Goose: K. Sorry for yelling.

Sugar Pea: how's Mikio?

Mother Goose: with grandma

... her brother was sent to live with their grandmother? Jesus Christ. He must've yelled back or something.

When Nejire arrived back home, she walked inside. Her brother was packing up and getting ready to leave. Nejire wasn't saddened, but she was disappointed. He wasn't leaving forever, or dying, but he might as well just stay gone. Their mom wasn't letting him back in unless he changed his ways and she had proof he did.

She got on her phone and texted Tamaki. He was up and she needed someone to talk to. Mikio and her weren't friends but they loved each other. Before Mikio left, he gave her a hug. She was close to tears, just because he hugged her.

(I really wanna stop mentioning him so I got rid of him-)

Bubbly Idiot: hey

No response.

Dammit. Nejire needed to talk with someone.

--------

Saturday. Nejire took two whole days to realize Mikio was actually gone. She was seriously upset now. She went back to Yuyu's place because her brothers were still at the house. She would feel less lonely.

She and Yuyu dropped by the Dixie Cup lady again. The old woman was really nice and Nejire and Yuyu were customers that dropped by almost everyday. Nejire didn't come over everyday but Yuyu got something from her all the time.

Isao, Yukio, and Ichiro weren't in the house but her mom was. They had a Rottweiler named Charles. Her mother was feeding Charles.

"Hey Charles!" Nejire said. Charles Hated Nejire. She knew it, she just didn't care. She's probably get killed if she was left alone with him.

"So, Nejire..."

"Yes?"

"Do you like anybody?" Yuyu asked. Nejire blushed and thought about Tamaki. She had a tiny crush on him.

"I mean, yeah."

"Who?" She gasped as she began painting Nejire's nails. Nejire took a bit out of her Dixie Cup and just sucked on the ice.

"Tamaki... he's just a really good friend and I like him. Why?"

"Just curious. You know I don't like anyone." Yuyu laughed. (0-0-) Nejire just laughed it off with her. They ended up talking about random things that came to mind like yesterday.

"What if I just... moved in? Then we could have sleepovers all the time."

Yuyu laughed her off. She didn't want to think about Nejire crying one night because she could hear someone's gun go off. Nejire was too innocent for that.

"You wanna go watch Barbie?"

"Yes!"

(Ryushot fluff that's very unnecessary, I just wanted to get to my 1000 word goal.)

"Do you like, not know how to cook?" Shinya asked. Ryuko's mouth opened and she gasped.

"That was so uncalled for." She said, crying. He had watched her cry because the oil started popping and she got scared.

"You seriously can't be scared of Oil."

"When it pops on your skin, it hurts!" She cried. He turned down the heat so it would stop popping. She obviously never learned how to cook anything other than what he had seen her cook.

"Cmon."

"No!" She screamed at him. She was actually crying over oil popping. He picked her up and placed her in front of the stove. She clinged onto him like a scared cat.

"Ryuko, do you seriously think I'll let you get hurt?"

They stared at each other for a moment before Ryuko said "Yes! You've tackled me before!"

"I was doing my job."

"True."

He turned her around and had his hand over her's the entire time. She was shaking the entire time, scared of getting burned. "I'm not gonna let you get hurt." He whispered just so she would calm down.

"I didn't know your brother had a nephew."

"Oh yeah."

"I saw one of them during work. He was with that Nejire girl."

"Oh, that's cute. I didn't know his wife's family so I guess it makes sense I've never met him."

"Why's he there? That's his in-law's kid. Doesn't make a lot of sense but whatever." He said, continuing to keep her hand steady. She was still shaking while he taught her how to cook.

"Taishiro is just nice, it's not that surprising that he let him in." She said. Her voice was a bit shaky, just like her body.

"Oh my god, stop shaking!"

"I'm sorry!"

(I love these two omg. Anyways, lies, it was important. Lol, Ryuko can't cook. Y'all got any ideas for next chapter? I'm thinking of another Nejitama date- oh, Ryuko's getting a birthday chapter-.)
