Opposites Attract

ＯＮＥ

Your reading was interrupted by a knock on the wooden white door to your bedroom. "Come in!" you yelled, as you placed your bookmark on the page you left off and placed it aside on the nightstand.

"[First Name] we have some very exciting news for you" your mother said as she grabbed your father's hand in pure excitement. Raising your eyebrow you looked at your parents waiting for them to continue with whatever they were planning.

They looked at one another before turning back to you. "You're getting married!" They both announced together.

You grabbed your book once again before turning back to your page. "Oh, I'm getting married that's nice.. WAIT WHAT?!" You raised your voice in utter confusion as everything processed in your mind.

Your mother sat down next to you on your bed and sighed. "We've been planning an arranged marriage with the Kirishima family." She began explaining.

"The Kirishi-who?" You questioned still in shock from the news. "The Kirishima family. We've been planning this with them for months. Look, we know this is all a shock to you but you can't just be in your room all day and do absolutely nothing. You're twenty-three for god's sake!"

You groaned and rolled your eyes, "So? What does this have to do with me getting married?"

"Your father's company hasn't been doing so great. The Kirishima's have agreed to help so in return we've settled an agreement for you to wed their son Ayato. Both families will come together and then everything will turn out great." Your mother got up from the bed and made her way to the door.

"But mom! This is absolutely stupid! Who cares about the family business? You can't just go and marry me off to some guy I don't even know!" You yelled trying to find a way to get out of it.

"[First Name], you're getting married. End of discussion. We're meeting with the Kirishima's tomorrow so you'll have a chance to know Ayato a bit. Dress nicely." Then she left.

Your father gave you a sympathetic smile before walking out. You groaned and grabbed your hair in frustration and annoyance. How could they do this to you?! Sure they were right about you doing absolutely nothing except read or watch Netflix all day in your room.

But planning an arranged marriage behind your back? Now that was way to far. You plopped on your bed and closed your eyes. 'Ayato Kirishima..' That name went across your mind a couple of times.

'What was he like? Was he cute? Was he nice?'

Many thoughts ran through your mind about this "Ayato" guy. You sighed, "I'll meet him, then I'll make my decision." You mumbled before falling into deep sleep.
