I PINCHED MY NOSE BRIDGE AS TŌRU WALKED IN, 'Why did he have to come now of all times?!'
"Yua?"
I turned around. "Hey Tōru. Uh, these are my parents. mom, dad, meet Tōru."
Both dad and mom smiled. "Nice to meet you!"
Tōru flashed a smile. "Nice to meet you too!"
He bowed a full 90 degrees. I sweat dropped. 'Has he ever bowed that much?'
Mom said, "Please, sit! Eat with us! Honey scoop him a bowl."
I nodded as I got up and scooped Tōru a bowl of rice. He and mom immediately hit it off. The two began to talk about me. A vein popped out of my forehead as they talked about how stubborn I was. Dad chuckled at my reactions as I brought the bowl of rice back to the table.
Tōru commented,"Yuyu really is stubborn, she also is really scared of the water."
I asked through gritted teeth and the fakest smile ever, "So, why'd you come over? I thought you were going home."
Tōru smiled as he turned to me, "Oh I wanted to make sure you got home safe."
Mom said, "Aw that's so sweet of you Tōru! Is it okay if I call you by your first name?"
He nodded. "Yes, thank you for asking!"
The two continued to talk about me throughout dinner. I just sulked as I ate my dinner silently. Once dinner ended, Dad and I cleaned up while Tōru and Mom talked more. I sighed as I washed the plates while dad dried and put the away.
"Your mom seems to take a liking to Tōru."
I nodded. "Yeah, I was worried for nothing..."
Dad chuckled. "Is he good to you?"
I nodded again. "He is. He's just am idiot sometimes and overworks himself sometimes."
"Just like you."
A vein popped out of my forehead. "No..."
Dad sighed as he placed one of his hands on my shoulder. "You've clearly been pulling all-nighters. Most likely to think of strategies to help your team, right?"
I sweat dropped. "Damn dad, why are you so good at guessing?"
He chuckled. "I'm your father, I know how you are. Just make sure that both of you don't overwork yourselves."
"Hey honey! I'm showing Tōru your baby pictures!"
I quickly wiped my hand on the towel and ran over to the couch where they were sitting. "No!"
