巽 完二
Kanji could feel her lips parting further against his own, about to take advantage of it all when he heard his mother calling from the kitchen. Kanji froze in Naoto's embrace... but a part of him was perfectly ready to hold her in front of his mother -- he wouldn't and couldn't deny his attraction to and love for Naoto, not in front of anyone... but as Naoto pulled away, Kanji let her go, hands drifting briefly along her sides before his hands dropped. He turned away quickly... "adjusting" himself and feeling embarrassed; had Naoto felt it? here was no way she hadn't... but she hadn't slapped him, so...
Mrs. Tatsumi came out of the kitchen with their meals -- freshly fried and sliced steak with peppers, served alongside the rice done plain and white. They were set in their proper places around the table, and she motioned Kanji and Naoto to sit, smiling as if she hadn't just walked in on her son kissing a young lady she scarcely knew.
Kanji sat by Naoto, offering her a small smile as he turned to the table. His mother was doling out their dinner onto plates, setting chopsticks gently across the side of the plate before serving it all with cups of steaming green tea. For all the world, it seemed like it was just another night in the Tatsumi household... but there was something different to it.
Kanji was happy to eat in silence for a time, before his mother drew attention to herself by setting her plate down and considering Kanji and Naoto thoughtfully. "Ms. Shirogane," she said softly, unassumingly. "... I would like to talk more with you sometime. Especially if you are going to be dating my son," she said, the sentence punctuating by Kanji choking on a bit of steak. "I would like to get to know you -- my Kanji's... never been with any girls," she added.
Kanji was flushed more now, perhaps, than ever before, embarrassed to no end. But it was true -- he'd never had a girlfriend, and Naoto had never had a boyfriend. They were in uncharted waters that Kanji wanted to explore with her.
Mrs. Tatsumi regarded them both with a small smile. Her piece said, the quiet woman returned to her own meal, eating contentedly.
