"It is really alright for me to dress casually like this?" Shouko voiced out her concern.
Kyoya let out a throaty chuckle. "It's just my uncle's family coming over. Don't be too nervous."
"En, but..." Shouko shrugged in resignation. She finally gave up. "Alright if you said so."
His smile deepened seeing her dejected face. Kyoya lovingly patted her head, he curled a strand of her hair around his finger. "You worry too much. They won't dress to the nine too so your outfit now is just fine."
Shouko nodded once. She looked down at her clothes. A light blue turtleneck and a long pleated white skirt. These should be decent enough, right? Thinking about meeting this man's extended family was enough to make her nervous.
They were currently waiting for Ryota's family to arrive. That man had called Kyoya, saying they would arrive soon. Shouko had been fidgeting ever since night arrived.
