(A/N Notes: … Geez, my mind has been going all over the place, but none of them actually helped me write, and when I noticed it was already Saturday
But I got three chapters on time, so it's already a good start)
It was a Sunday morning, and Yuriko with the help of her mother and Takeru's mother, they were cleaning her apartment, since it wasn't too big, and it didn't have many things occupying space, the cleaning was finished quickly due to the presence of three people
"Hmmm..."
But Yuriko felt like something was missing, but she couldn't get a gist of what she was missing or forgetting. Meanwhile, Kanga and Emily were talking to each other
"So Emily-san, how do you think your Friday will be this week?"
"Friday?... Ah, right! It'll be a Friday thirteen this week won't it? That brings back memories"
"What kind of memories?"
"From the day Takkun was born, it was also a Friday Thirteen..."
"..."
Yuriko at hearing that suddenly remembered what she was forgetting, and she remained silent for a few more seconds
"...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!"
Yuriko's sudden scream surprised Kaga and Emily, as she fell to her knees
" "!?" "
"W, what wrong, Yu-chan?"
Kaga worried about her daughter, asked Yuriko what was wrong
"I, I..."
"You?..."
"I forgot about Takeru's birthday... And Didn't buy a present for him yet..."
"Aah... So that's what you got so worried about... Don't worry, you can just show yourself naked in front of him and say that you're the present"
"That's indecent!"
"Says you who's already pregnant"
"Kuh!"
Yuriko couldn't argue what her mother had just told her
"Alright, jokes aside. Emily-san, what do you suggest for Yu-chan to buy for Takeru-kun?"
"Suggestions? Well, to be honest, I think that he would be happy with anything that Yuriko-chan gives to him"
"But I don't know what to give him since I don't what things he likes..."
Yuriko whimpered at hearing that since even though she and Takeru were dating for about three months now, they never really asked what each of them liked, and on the few occasions that they ask each, they just accepted and enjoyed their time together
"Then why don't you ask him?"
"I want to surprise him"
"Now that's troublesome... Well, Takkun likes games, manga, anime, but these you have to ask which ones he wants or likes... The only thing I can imagine that he might like might be a mask since there was a time his siblings and friends had some influence on him, though I don't know if he's still into masks"
"I don't think masks are a good option"
"Yeah... Me too..."
Emily and Yuriko kept thinking when Kaga gave her opinion
"How about rings?"
" "Rings?" "
"Yes, rings. After all, you two will be getting married anyway, so you can buy engagement rings for you and Takeru, then present to him while kneeling down and asking 'Will you marry me?' on his birthday"
"Isn't that supposed to be the opposite?"
"Normally yes, but with your lady-killer handsome face, it's more picturesque for you to be the one doing the man's part"
"I don't think that's something you should say to your own daughter"
Yuriko wanting it or not always ended up playing the straight man role with her mother
"Hey, my face is as handsome as yours and just so you know, I was the one who knelt down and asked your father's hand for marriage"
"Wait... You were the one asking him!?"
"Yeah, what did he tell you?"
"He said that he was the one who proposed and that you made the most embarrassed face of your life"
"..."
At hearing that Kaga closed her eyes with a cool face, before looking back at Yuriko
"Just think of that but with the roles reversed, and you get the truth (also, I'll have to teach your father to not lie like that again)"
"Why do I feel like you just said something dangerous?"
"That's your imagination, now..."
Kaga clapped her hands together
"Let's stop talking and get into action. Yu-chan needs to buy a present for Takeru-kun, so let's go shopping together and search for something that he would like"
"Sounds good"
"Fine by me"
With that, the three women agreed and prepared to go shopping for a present for Takeru, after a short while they left, and went to the shopping mall, on their way there, they passed by a group of four very handsome boys, but they didn't pay any attention to them
Some time later at Takeru's place
Takeru had just finished cleaning his apartment while listening to some metal with history
"Then the winged hussars arrived~..."
*Phone ringing*
"Hm?" *Picks the phone up* "Hello?"
"Gutten tag, my like minden friend-"
Takeru immediately hanged up at hearing that voice, then a short while after, his phone rang again. This time Takeru was more reluctant to answer the phone, but he still answered
"Yes?"
"Why did you hanged up on my face, Take!?"
"Sorry, it was by reflex"
"Hey, am I that repulsive!?"
"No, you're not. You're just a pain in the ass"
"That's the same thing!"
"So what're you calling me for of all times?"
"Isn't it obvious? Me and the boys are going to commemorate your birthday since we won't be able to next weekend"
"I'm happy by your considerations, but I will bluntly refuse"
"Too bad"
"Why?"
"We're in front of your apartment's front door at this very moment"
"..."
Takeru made a face full of despair when he heard his old friend saying that, then he heard the doorbell ringing. Takeru felt as if his and the room's temperature fell, as he stiffly turned to look at the front door
"C'mon, Take. Are you going to leave us waiting-"
Takeru hanged up the phone, as his face appeared to be on the verge of crying out of despair
"... *Deeply breathes in* Alright, I can do it"
Takeru steeled himself for facing his old school friends
"I can fucking do this!"
He walked towards the front door and was about to open it, but then he stopped. And fell on his fours
"I can't do it!!!"
The other side of the front door
" " " "..." " " "
Four guys were standing in front of Takeru's apartment front door, staring at the door
"... I guess, he faltered just before opening the door"
"Yeah, I think so too"
"Me three"
"Me four"
"Should we use that?"
" " "..." " "
The four guys looked at each other and thought about the group leader suggestion
" " "Yes" " "
"Alright, then..."
The leader, Okamura Kenzo approached the door and said
"I dare you to open this door, Take"
"..."
Then the door was open almost immediately after, and the one who opened it, had an angry face
"... Damnit!!!"
Takeru once again let his pride take the best of him, when he looked in front of him, he could see Kenzo and his other friends from his old school all standing beside each other smiling, and as always the four were still handsome as ever
"... I hate you all"
Takeru and the boys were finally together at last, and without any way to escape, Takeru had to change to some outing clothes and get dragged around by his friends
(A/N Notes: Takeru's old school friends be like together: Me and the Boys being Chunni
I'll be right bacc)
