I'm into you (Naegiri)

14: The Announcement

"No need to apologize, babe. I said it would be fine going to your Dad's" Makoto says.

"Okeydokey, babe" I said.

I stood up and walked into the kitchen where Makoto is. He smiled at me and pulled me into a hug. I smile into his shoulder. What? He gives really freaking good hugs and it's awesome.

I rest my forehead on his shoulder and he rests his head on the top of mine.

"How was your day?" I ask, into Makoto's chest.

"It's been good. How has yours been?" He answers my question with another question.

"Its been good, thinking of ways to tell people" I say.

"Oh, really? Are you gonna tell your Dad tonight?" Makoto asks.

He pulls away so we can look at each other. He smiles at me and I smile back. I nod and he plants a quick kiss on my cheek before he walks away so he can return to putting groceries away.

"I don't know how though" I said.

"Say it bluntly?" Makoto answers in question.

"That's so helpful, babe" I mumble.

Makoto chuckles and cracks a smile and I smile back at him. He's so freaking adorable when he's smiling and adorable when he's not doing nothing that isn't normal.

"You're adorable" I said.

Makoto started to blush and a grin grew upon his face. I start to blush and smile as well.

"You too" Makoto says, his face still beet red.

"Well, I'm gonna go take a shower" I said.

Makoto nodded and turned his back to me, walking upstairs and into our bedroom.

I quickly grab a change of clothes from my bedroom before walking into the bathroom.

I quickly strip and hop into the shower. The warm water is extremely soothing. Makoto will disagree and say that cold water is better but warm water is so much better then freezing cold water.

I probably take fifteen to twenty minutes tops in the shower and Makoto still rolls his eyes at me for taking too long.

We both kinda agreed that we would both try to take shorter showers to make the water bill cheaper but I made a mistake, a few mistakes in that department actually but oh well. It's not like we can't afford the apartment and the bills so who should really care.

"Hey, y'know Mondo and Chihiro are together?" Makoto says when I return to the bedroom.

"You didn't?" I asked, arching a brow.

"You did?" Makoto answers with a question.

"Chihiro told me a few weeks ago and Mondo never denied it" I replied.

"Well..good for them then" Makoto says, obviously mad that I didn't tell him when Chihiro first told me.

Even though I was sworn to secrecy by Chihiro and he was planning on telling Makoto after he told me but forgot or something.

"Don't get mad. Chihiro made me sweat to secrecy and he was planning on telling you" I said, trying to calm him down.

"Okay, whatever" Makoto mumbles.

"Please don't be mad" I plead.

Makoto looks at me, a fake smile plastered on his face.

"I'm be mad, I just wish you knew you can tell me anything" Makoto says, sadly.

"I do know that but that wasn't my secret to spread" I say.

"Okay. I get that, babe" Makoto says.

"Good" I smile.

A few hours later Makoto and I arrive at Dad's house, ready for pizza and possibly a movie or two.

Makoto and I walk up to the front door, hand in hand. Madoka's Impala is parked next to Dad's beat-up car.

I knock on the door and Madoka opens it. A smile is resting on her face, crinkling the skin around her light green eyes.

Her black hair is styled into a messy bun and her fair skin is complimented by her blue knee-length dress.

"Hi, Kyouko, Makoto" Madoka says, the smile slipping as she speaks.

"Hey, Madoka. Are we too early?" I ask.

"No, not at all. Come in" She says.

She moves out of the way so we could walk inside the house, closing the door behind us.

Dad's sitting on the couch and The X-Files reruns are on the TV. Madoka and Dad are both huge nerds so they watch The X-Files all the freaking time.

"Hey, kids" Dad says.

"We're not kids, Dad" I groan, getting ready to be embarrassed in front of Makoto.

Dad always embarrasses me whenever Makoto and I come over for lunch or dinner.

"Whatever. The pizza should be here any minute now" Dad says.

When the last word leaves his mouth the doorbell rings and Madoka rushes to answer it. It's the pizza.

Madoka pays and Makoto brings the pizza inside and gently places it onto the kitchen table.

I rush over and help get plates and cups out. I open the fridge and take out a 2 liter of Pepsi Maxx and a 2 liter of Diet Coke.

I pour myself a glass of Pepsi Maxx and pour Makoto a glass of Diet Coke.

After we all get our plates and cups we sit down at the kitchen table. We haven't all had a family meal in a month and a half.

We had dinner with Makoto's family a few nights back. We had chicken and vegetable tempura. It was really good since Makoto's mother is an amazing cook.

"Dad, Makoto and I have to tell you something" I said.

"Please god don't tell me your pregnant" Dad says.

"I'm not. We're Engaged!" I exclaimed.

I took my gloves off and show Dad the ring Makoto presented to me last weekend. We already told Makoto's parents when we were having dinner with them and were planning on telling Dad today or tomorrow.

"Congrats" Madoka and Dad say at the same time.

"Thank you" Makoto and I say at the same time.
