A Christmas Miracle (Byakuya Togami x fem reader)

-4-

After about two hours preparing today's supper I placed all the food at the family table and rang the bell twice. They all came down and sat down. "This smells delicious, (y/n)" Mr. Togami says. "Thank you." Byakuya and his father sat opposite sides on the very end of the table while me and Mrs. Togami just sat in the middle face to face.

    "I said I was on an all water and fruit di-" I gave Mrs. Togami a seperate plate with all sorts of fruit on it. I gave her a fancy crystal glass of water to go with it. "Oh, uh, thank you." She said looking down at the plate. "You're welcome!" I said smiling.

    "So Byakuya, how was school?" Mr. Togami asked. Byakuya was eyeing the strawberries. Of course, he loves strawberries. I get up and grab a plate and fill it with strawberries. I give it to him and he smiles. "Byakuya-" Mr. Togami repeated. "Oh my apologies, it was fine I guess. Someone decided it would be a good idea to add too much of the blue liquid in science class today and caused the whole class to be fill up with fog." He eyed me down and I sunk in my seat.

    Mr. Togami looked at me. "Is that right?" He asked. He chuckled. "Are you in trouble?" He asked. "No, I told them it was an accident." I said. He chuckled louder. "That's halirious. " He says. "How's Emilia?" He asked Byakuya. I sigh loudly. Byakuya glares at me and eats a strawberry. "She's good I guess." He answers. "Did you guys kiss yet?" He asked. I sighed louder than I wanted to. Byakuya glares at me again. "No." He replied. "Why not? Be a man!" His father says. "I just don't want to, father. I don't have any interest in her." Byakuya says. "You know the rules, son." He says. "Why can't we just marry the people who we actually have interest in?" Byakuya asks. "Don't start this again. Again?

  "I apologize." Byakuya says. "You didn't fight your siblings for nothing. Once you win you go by the rules. The father picks who you marry, okay? And you stay with them until time is up." Mr. Togami said. I butted in the conversation. "Mr. Togami, who picked Mrs. Togami to marry you? Didnt your father die three years ago? And you married her this year. Did you pick for yourself?" I asked. Byakuya was silent. He looked at me and motioned me to stop asking questions.

    Mr. Togami chuckled. "Oh you've always been full of questions. You see..." He stays silent trying to think of something. "Mhm, that's what I thought." I said getting up and gathering up everyone's plate.

    I walk over to the sink and wash all the dishes. Everyone leaves and goes upstairs.

    I finished washing dishes and decided to go upstairs. I started to hear loud voices from Byakuya's room while walking up the stairs. I see Mrs. Togami standing in the hall.

   "Hey, what's going on?" I ask her. "They're fighting over what you said." She answered. "Oh no." I said. She walked to her room and I stood in the front of the door to listen.

   "Byakuya, I told you not to talk about this again!" Mr. Togami said

  "I have a question, when (y/N) asked you that question why were you so silent? Why are you married to her? Who told you to?" Byakuya asked.

  "Enough with the questions!"

  "Father, are you lying to me?"

  "Of course not! Just, you're first wife is your father's pick. I know it sucks but you have to do it."

  "I don't like Emilia!"

  "I'm sorry but you have to marry her!"

  "Why couldn't you pick someone else? And how long do I have to stay married to her?"

  "You stay married to her for about 2-3 years."

  "That's too long."

  "Well, who else do you want marry then?"
