The title for this chapter was inspired by the Monet exhibition I visited last but one
week ago; all those flowers bloom in May, and I thought it would be perfect for
Katsuya�s homecoming with all these blossoms freckling the hills and meadows-
gomen, I�m getting all mushy here, perhaps because this is a somewhat romantic chappie.
Oh, and the
return of both an old OC and a well-known character from the show!
So, read and enjoy and remember to review, arigato!^^
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
60. Delphiniums, irises, rhododendrons
Spring came in brilliant, soothing colors, but Katsuya couldn�t really enjoy it.
Between college, work and entertaining a certain horny CEO, the blond was a little too
busy to keep track with life in general, and his family and friends in particular.
And then came early June.
�Have you ever heard of safer sex?!?�
Mokuba snorted and coughed up some cracker crumbs, and Seto choked on his tea, even as
Shizuka and Honda turned a brilliant shade of red.
Clearing his throat, the CEO tried to ease the tension:
�Easy there, aibou, remember your sister�s delicate state.�
Katsuya snarled, as he turned to his husband.
�That�s the only thing occupying my mind at the moment! Just because my best friend didn�t bother to change the rubber every so often, Shizuka�s pregnant!�
Both Kaiba
brothers cringed, even as Honda�s expression changed from sheepish to enraged.
Rising from
where he sat next to his koi, he stalked over to the blond and growled:
�Although I
don�t know why I should tell you this, but I did change the condom,
twice even! And yes, they were prime quality, in case you�re wondering! That
doesn�t change the fact that I love Shizuka with all my heart, and that I�m
more than willed to make her my wife, with or without your blessings!�
Silence, as
amber and chestnut warred with one another.
Finally,
without taking his eyes off his friend, Katsuya replied:
�It is not
my decision to make, but hers.�
Nobody
moved, Honda and Katsuya kept glaring at one another, and then:
�I-I said
yes.�
The blond
turned to stare at his imoto.
�Mo..itte kudasai?�
Shizuka
blushed the cutest shade ever, as she gave a soft smile and hushed:
�Honda-kun
proposed to me last but one week, four days before I found out I was�expecting.
And I said yes.�
She rose
her head and beamed up at her elder sibling.
�Isn�t that
wonderful, nii-san? You�re going to be an uncle soon.�
The blond
considered this a moment, then his face lit up.
�Hey,
you�re right, I�m going to be an uncle! That�s just great!�
He smiled
down at his imoto, then his face drooped:
�Oh gods,
my baby sister is going to have a baby!� he wailed, and Seto cocked a brow.
�I thought
only pregnant women were supposed to have mood swings, ne?�
�Hey, how
would you feel if you found out you were about to become an uncle?�
exclaimed Katsuya, torn between happiness and worry.
His husband
crossed his arms before his chest and smirked.
�Not very
likely, aibou. I don�t think you are planning to grace me with any nieces or
nephews anytime soon, ne, Mokuba?�
All gawked
at the grinning brunet, and all of a sudden, Katsuya�s heart skipped a beat:
For a
second, he swore, his husband just-vanished. He could see the couch, the table
before it, the carpet underneath both furnitures, but no Seto.
Drawing a
shaky breath, the blond clenched his eyes and opened them again, just to see
Seto in the same position as before.
And then he
noticed Mokuba�s shocked expression.
The teen
shut his mouth closed and rasped:
�O-of
course not-would you sleep better if I swore celibacy until I�m thirty-two,
nii-san?�
Those words
broke the eerie atmosphere reigning the flat, and everybody laughed.
Katsuya
however, couldn�t shake the slight, nagging feeling in the pit of his stomach.
It had been
a while since she had felt this enraged, but considering the cirumstances, she
kept a good reign on her feelings.
Glaring at
the attorney on the opposite of her desk, Fukuda-san hissed:
�I am not
accepting this case, no matter what. The last time it caused me one hell of a
lot of trouble and almost destroyed a young man�s life. Besides, I fail to see
why one should even bother re-integrating this particular individual into
society.�
Shrugging,
the lawyer replied:
�Apparently,
while the..trial, several evidences had been left out of regard which could
have prooven my client�s innocence.�
�Innocence?�
screeched the younger woman in mock-amused disbelief.
�Pardon for
having to tell you, Tsukuba-san, but your client and innocence don�t
mix!�
Sighing,
the man rose from his chair and, straightening his expensive suit, stated:
�Yes, well,
we will see about that, Have a nice day, Fukuda-san.�
�Sayonara.�
For good
luck it had been raining the past two days, bringing down the unbearable heat
to agreeable temperatures.
Even
though, it was rather hot for mid July, and the crowd in the dim-lit temple was
glad about the shadowy location of the building beneath the large maple trees,
which kept off the glaring sun.
Honda held
himself pretty well, thought Katsuya, considering how nervous the brunet was.
So far his
best friend had only thrown up twice, and his suit had made it unspoiled so
far.
Rubbing
Honda�s shoulders reassuringly, Katsuya hushed:
�Easy, man,
relax, you�re not going to faint on me now, ne?�
Shakily,
Honda rose to his full height and readjusted his clothes, as they made their
way to the altar.
�Of course
not, what kind of impression would that make? Besides, if you could pull
this through, so can I!�
�That�s the
spirit!� smiled Katsuya, as he steered the two of them to their supposed
positions.
�Now hold
your breath, �cause here she comes!�
�Kami-sama,
she�s beautiful!� rasped Honda, and his best friend nodded.
�Of course,
she�s my sister!�
The white,
green-embroidered wedding kimono only helped to accent Shizuka�s flower-like
delicacy, when she floated towards her brother and groom like a water-lily on
the surface of a calm lake, poised and elegant as an orchid.
Faced with
her pre-natal beauty(though she wasn�t showing yet, seeing as she was only two
months pregnant), Honda felt himself like a bag of mouldering rags, although he
looked rather impressive in his deep purple kimono with the golden obi.
His best
friend and brother-in-law had risen heaven and hell to get their wedding
arranged as fast and decent as humanly possible, making his husband frown when
faced with the large amount of money the blond spent on the event.
Obviously,
when it came to weddings, Jou was similar possessed to aim for perfection as
his sister, and the siblings had left their families and friends little to no
say in the whole preparation process.
Then again,
seeing how smoothly the ceremony had run so far(Shizuka had insisted on a
strictly traditional wedding, and rehearsed every single move and pose with her
fianc� dozens of times over), it had probably been for the best.
Besides,
Seto mused, knowing the effect the festivity had on Katsuya, this would surely
make for an exiting event�
Seto
shivered in delight and anticipation.
Forcing his
eyes from the blond, he let his azure eyes travel over the assembled guests:
The entire
Hiroto clan had come, including a couple of cousins and aunts even Honda
couldn�t remember.
On
Shizuka�s side sat, next to him and the somewhat blue Mokuba(Reiko had broken
up with him three weeks ago) the Muutous, Ryou and his boyfriend Logan, the
Hiroyuki�s and-Kawai-san.
Her
presence was a surprise for everybody; although she had been invited, no one
had expected her to come.
Katsuya had
almost turned her down at the door, if not Shizuka had spoken up for their
mother.
Now she sat
in the last but one row, tears streaming down her face as she saw her little
girl being given to her husband by her son.
She was
puzzled, when she realized that her heart swelled with pride when she took in
her eldest offspring�s manners and appearance, and suddenly, she regretted not
having been there when Katsuya got married.
Kawai-san
eyes drifted from her son-and locked with cold, blue ones.
Hastily,
she looked away, shame leaving a bitter taste in her mouth.
Kaiba had
all the reason in the world to, if not hate, dislike her.
And she had
no one to blame but herself.
