“Your brothers, your mother and I are doing very well, thank you. We’ve all been pleasantly surprised to hear how well you’ve progressing, and the speed that you’re doing it as well.” He mentioned, glancing at you, before turning to Tsukuya, all smiles again. “And who might you be, young lady?”
“Oh, I’m Nohara Tsukuya. I’m Danketsu-kun’s… um…” She was clearly struggling on how to put it, so you took the opportunity to mess with both her and Seinaru.
“She’s my fiancé.” You said, causing Tsukuya to go beet-red and both of them to sputter outwardly in shock, before Seinaru regained his composure, laughing and pretending that he’s in on the joke.
“Oh son, you always were a joker. Anyways, what’s-“
“I ain’t jokin’.” You say, looking at your father seriously. “We established that we’re soulmates and everythin’. ‘S only a matter of time, in my eyes.” You could feel, rather than see, that beside you, Tsukuya was about to overheat, as red as she was getting from your words, so you decided to cool it off a little. “‘Course, we need approval from you and mom, plus her parents, so we aren’t <span class="mu-i">technically</span> fiancées.” You say, waiting for Tsukuya to calm down, before going with the finishing strike. “<span class="mu-i">Yet.</span>”
You put an arm out to catch her and pull her into you as she inevitably fainted, smirking at your father as you did so. “Sorry about that.” You say, your speech changing instantly. “We can talk for real now.”
