[one-shot] Reunions
Title: Reunions
Author: icarus_fly
Type : One-shot
Genre: friendship, love, fluff
I hated gatherings. Socializing with too many people.
Much more, reunions.
Family reunions to be exact. I was never the type who would start a conversation with not-so-close family and friends.
I don't talk that much and I don't know how to lie just to please people.
So I sat at the farthest table, listening to their Hi's and Hello's.
I could only afford to smile when they wave and greet me.
My foot was noisily tapping the floor. Impatient.
Where is that dork? I badly wanted desert.
"Hey~"
I looked up.
"Hey!" I sounded rather surprised.
He pointed at the seat beside me.
"Doozo. It's vacant."
"Thanks." He put down the plate of fruits he was holding.
He looked around, at me, then smiled.
I never got tired of his beautiful smile.
"So you guys are-"
"No. I was invited. As a friend."
He was quick to answer.
"Oh..."
He messily picked up grapes with his fork. "So, how have you been?"
I thought of any better way to answer.
"I've been cool."
He chuckled at my reply.
"Look at you now." He eyed me from head to toe.
"What?"
He rested his chin on his right hand.
"You are beautiful."
I wanted to laugh.
"I know right?" I teased.
He looked amused.
I took my fork, pierced a strawberry right in the heart and ate it.
"Still like strawberries huh?"
"Strawberry. Yes."
"Here..." He fed me more.
I happily ate them. They were my favorite after all.

I didn't care if people were staring at us. Or only at me.
"Hahahaha!!! Of course I remember that! The first day I beat you!" I sounded like a drunkard.
He pouted, reminiscing my first victory.
"It was not a fair game to begin with."
"You say that coz you lost. Bitter." I stuck out my tongue.
I thought he pinched my cheeks but why did it feel like a caress instead?
"You guys are noisy when you're together."
She joined our table.
"Jealous?" I teased her.
She grinned.
"I'm sorry I'm late. Your aunt was interrogating me." Kousuke shrugged.
"Here's your desert." He handed me a slice of cake as he sat on my other side.
"No problem. I'm stuffed with fruits." I pointed at the empty plate in front of me.

I yawned. It sure was a fun but tiring day.
"You kids should get going."
I think she was annoyed by my presence.
"I'm 18 sis, chill."
"You're still strict about her curfew?" He asked.
"She's 18! Why shouldn't I?"
"She's 18 Mia. You should at least trust your sister."
He winked at me. I gave him a thumbs up.
"Just worried. " She turned to Kousuke. "Make sure your girlfriend goes straight home."
"Hai nee-chan."
"It was nice meeting you Yabu-sempai. Thanks for inviting me over Nee-chan." Kousuke added.
They exchanged bows.
I stood up and headed for the door. She was still an awful kill joy even after they broke up. Urgh.
"Kim!"
I turned around when I heard him call my name.
"Kio tsukette ne?"
My heart skipped a beat.
Why? Why now?
But I shrugged the thought off my mind.
"I will! Kinishinade kudasai...Kota."
