Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ Thinking Of You ❯ Hatanaka-san ( Chapter 32 )

Thinking Of You

*Knock Knock Knock*

"Speaking of, here they are," I said.

You smiled nervously at me. You snagged my hand and tugged me to the door with you. I hadn't been nervous before now, but now I was petrified. I was scared that they wouldn't approve. I was afraid for you, but I was also afraid for me. I didn't want to be rejected again. I knew this and yet I pushed myself to think on the upside of things. Nobody minded so far, why should they be any different?

You opened the door.

"Hello Hatanaka-san, Shuiichi," you said a bit weakly.

"Are you feeling ok Shuiichi? You sound a bit weak… strained," he said. You smiled at the man who had spoken your step-father.

"I'm fine, thank you for asking," you said. You motioned for them to come in. "Please come in."

They entered the room. I took their coats and put them in the closet as you ushered them into the living room where your mother was.

"Dinner will be served in a few moments," you said and went into the kitchen. I went into the living room to join them.

"What are you doing here Hiei?" Shuiichi asked me. I smiled weakly at him.

"Yes, what are you doing here?" he asked. I gulped.

"I am here because I and Shuiichi have something to tell all of you," I said as discreetly as I could manage. He and Shuiichi just shrugged.

"Dinner's ready!" you called from the kitchen. We all stood and headed towards the kitchen together.

Dinner was uneventful. We ate, no one really talked, we just ate.

"Hatanaka-san, Hiei and I have something to tell you… you too Shuiichi," you said, the nerves creeping into your voice.

"Hiei said as much," he replied.

"Umm… I don't know how you're going to take this…" you said as you grabbed my hand for support, I was sitting beside you. "We're…"

"Lovers?" he asked. I nearly choked on the drink I was sipping. You looked taken aback.

"Uh…" you tried to say.

"Are you?" he persisted.

"Umm… we… we're…" you paused for a moment, unsure if it was wise to go on. "We're engaged."

There was silence. Neither good nor bad. I couldn't read his face, and I couldn't read Shuiichi's.

"…"

"That's wonderful!" he said joyously. Both of us were taken very far aback.

"Uh…" you tried to say.

"You weren't expecting that were you?" he asked honestly. We shook our heads.

"Contrary to popular belief, I am a very supporting and excepting person," he said.

"Thank you Hatanaka-san!!" you rejoiced. You ran to him and threw your arms around him.

"Thank you," I said.

"I can't really see why you two thought I wouldn't, but it doesn't matter since I do," he said.

"Shuiichi?" I carefully asked.

"… I'm not sure what I feel. I have to think it over a bit, but I do wish you both as much happiness as there is in this world," he said.

"That's good enough for me," I told him.

Notes: Wow, it's been a while, hasn't it? I'm sorry I haven't written this in so long, writers block. The next hing I'd like to say is that I found it very hard o do Hatanaka for one simple reason: all the fics I've read have had him be very anti-gay or whatever. So I hope you don't mind the sketchy-ness. I am also announcing that I will be wrapping this story up. It's had a good run… but I think I'm gonna end it with the wedding. Thanks to all of you who've read this story, faithfully or not. This will be my last note. Thanx.
