[Fic] Vongola Seduction 101 (Lambo/I-Pin) (2/9)
Lambo wasn’t satisfied with Gokudera’s answer to his hypothetical question, so he went in search of someone much more reasonable and level-headed. He found Yamamoto in the dojo playing with his dog and sparrow.
“Lambo!” Yamamoto spotted him and waved him over before the youngest Guardian had a chance to announce his presence. “How have you been doing? How’s school?” Lambo grinned.
“Good,” he replied. “School’s been okay. I had a hypothetical question for you, actually.” Yamamoto nodded putting his box animals away and giving Lambo his fullest attention. He wasn’t used to being asked for advice.
“Sure! Hopefully, I can help.”
“There’s this guy at school who likes this girl, but he doesn’t know how to ask her out.” Yamamoto grinned widely. Even he was smart enough to understand whom the question was really about.
“And you were wanted my help?” he asked. Lambo nodded. “Well, if this girl is from Japan or China or even Hong Kong, she’ll have probably been brought up with the concept of the omiai.”
“Huh?” Lambo frowned, having never heard that word in the several years he’d spent in Japan. “Omee-what?” Yamamoto laughed.
“Omiai,” he repeated. “It’s kind of like an arranged marriage. Usually, it’s done between your parents, but you can still do one with a girl when neither of you have parents. It’s very traditional.” Lambo didn’t like the sound of forcing the girl to marry him. Then she would spend the rest of her life hating him and wishing she were married to Hibari.
“I’m not sure that’s such a good idea…”
“Of course it is!” Yamamoto laughed. “It’s a hard concept for outsiders to understand, but it’s a very meaningful cultural connection you and her will share!” Lambo didn’t find it that difficult to understand. What he didn’t get was why an unmarried gay man was telling him he should go with a tradition that was probably used more for business mergers than for two young people in love.
