Sometimes the First Impression...[Closed]

[faithfulflame]

Who: Yosuke Hanamura and Flowers over Bones
When: December 25th, morning
Where: A Hotel
What: Yosuke meets the family...
Warnings: Awkwardness, mentions of sexual conduct and alcohol use.



[The night before had been everything Rei could've hoped for. Taking Yosuke to bed on a holiday had been the right idea, she thought, and she wasn't disappointed. The connection between the two of them felt deeper than ever, and there was a kind of rightness to it that that left her head swimming pleasantly. Morning came quickly, all too quickly for her tastes, and eventually as the sun probed through the windows she had to concede defeat and roll over. Patting Yosuke's chest gently, the violinist kissed his lips lightly and untangled her arms and legs from his.]

About time to get up, I guess. C'mon, let's get coffee and order breakfast before a shower.

[Slipping out of the bed she drew on a bathrobe and teetered dreamily over towards the door to the main room, waiting for him to do the same. In her haze, she missed the smells and sounds of life coming from the suite's central chamber, unfortunately, so when Rei and Yosuke open the doorway...dawning comprehension and mild panic are the order of the day.

Flowers over Bones had decided to pay their eldest daughter a visit on her mental health retreat...aaaand she'd forgotten those plans the evening before. So now here they were. Rei and Yosuke, the two teenage lovebirds, mussed and disheveled, leaning on one another...in full view of the entire band.

Whoops?]

A.

I-I can explain! This isn't what it looks like!

[He freezes in place and starts to have a panic attack. He's in trouble, isn't he? Deep, deep trouble. Rei told him about how they were a family and they just walked out of a bedroom together. He's a bad liar. It's totally what it looks like.]

I-I'm sorry-!

B.

[After the first, second and possibly fourth round of apologizing is done by him, he's answering the door to let room service in to set up their breakfast. And after spooning himself up, he'll flop onto the couch, still trying to work his anxiety down a little bit about everyone being here right now.

And he takes a bite of his food.

And spits it out back onto his plate. Sorry to whoever is next to him having to deal with that.]

[ Ivan's... a little late because the elevator door closed before he could get in it. Typical everyday hipster ninja things.

So, Ivan walks into the central chamber holding a thermos of Rei's favorite tea blend and a paper lily he learned how to fold, hoping to slide in unnoticed and pretend he arrived with the rest.

Or not. He takes one look at the messy pair and promptly turns around to walk back out the suite's door to wait in the hallway. With a thermos of tea and an origami lily.

Yep. ]

[punchesyu]

[His jaw drops and he stands there for a second or two before his mouth starts working.]

W-Wait! Dude...I...!

[He really doesn't know what to say, he's so embarrassed. He pads through the central room and pokes his head out of the door.]

H-Hey...

[sponsorigami]

[ Ivan isn't far, just a few steps to the side of the door frame with a stunned expression and flushed cheeks. ]

... The both of you can... clean up. I'll wait here...

[ Not judging but also not able to fully register all he just saw. ]

[punchesyu]

Okay...if you're sure...

[He can't tell if he's angry or not. But he taps the side of the doorway, leaves, gets interrupted on his way to get actual clothes by the Doctor and comes back with some form of real clothing. Thankfully, his hair doesn't take much to be put back into place.]

You still chillin' out here, bro? I mean, it's safe to come back in now...

Two teenagers exit a room in states of undress, messy haired and together...

[Luce is having the time of her life, here. This is amazing. Poor Pao-Lin and Ivan, however.]

I wonder what it should look like, dear?

[punchesyu]

Well, I mean...

[She definitely called it as she saw it and he's got nothing.]

Okay, it's totally what it looks like! Just please, please don't kill me!

[giglio_madonna]

Dear. What on earth would make you think we'd want to kill you because you and our Rei made an informed and consensual decision?

...Besides, I already knew she was dating you. I'm not really surprised.

[punchesyu]

So...you're totally cool with this?

[He's surprised. Relieved. And he needs to make sure to thank whatever god likes him right now.]

I thought for sure I was a goner. Usually this kind of thing doesn't go over well.

[trustme]

[Doctor gives Yosuke and Rei a long stare. When Rei turns and retreats back into the bedroom Yosuke gets all the ocular attention. In his mind Doctor weighs his possible reactions to this. As the Banddad he does have some guardian-like responsibility to look after the teens in the group but at the same time he's not Rei's actual father, and he'd really like to believe he's a cool banddad.

Doctor clears his throat loudly and walks up to Yosuke without blinking.]

Did you use protection?

[punchesyu]

[Yosuke's eyes follow Rei back into the bedroom, before his head turns back around slowly. He gulps. He's doomed. Out here alone to face the elements of Flowers Over Bones by himself. He faces the Doctor, partially terrified but ready for the verbal pain. Maybe physical pain. He doesn't know.]

...Y-Yeah... [He stammers out, nervously.] I-I don't really think either of us want a kid, so...we brought some.

[trustme]

[ Doctor takes a moment to reply, still thinking long and hard on how to really react to their situation. This isn't a scenario he had expected to play parent in any time soon. ]

You're really very serious about Rei aren't you? She's very important to you and you respect her as a person and might even want to marry her some day, right? You two are madly, truly, deeply, in love. Right?

[Pao-Lin happens to be the lucky soul next to him, whittling down a gigantic stack of pancakes drenched in butter and syrup. Nearby is a second plate filled with other breakfast foods like scrambled eggs and bacon. She gives Yosuke a look somewhere between mild disgust and general sympathy.]

You don't like it, huh?

[punchesyu]

These eggs are way too watery.

[He glances over at her food. Which is a lot more than Yosuke took.]

...Not that you'd probably notice.

[i_am_not_cute]

I'll take your eggs if you don't want them!

[Yup, she thought they were just fine.]

Open! Embarrassed Rei is Embarrassed.

[Initially Rei froze, just stopping dead in place, her face turning as red as a tomato. She...can't believe it. She really, really cannot believe she remembered everything except for the fact that the family was coming to visit her the next morning to celebrate as a group. How...how could she be so stupid...!

Her eyes close, and she practically buries her face against Yosuke's shoulder for a minute while he just stands there frozen, trying hard not to cry. This could go so many awful ways...depending on how everyone else reacts. It certainly wasn't how she'd wanted to introduce people to him...

And eventually she just runs back into the bedroom and throws herself down onto the bed, burying herself in the sheets...waiting for the explosion.

Follow and calm her down? Or let her stew? WHAT DO BANDFAM?]

B

[And...once everything seems a little more calm, Rei cautiously creeps out of the bedroom again and sits on the couch after grabbing hot chocolate and some of the food. French toast or something. She's trying hard not to sulk, really, but sitting on the edge of the couch, she looks positively petulant. Her mistake...and all this mess was her fault...and ughhhhhhh!]

[giglio_madonna]

[Luce has let Rei have her own space, because sometimes that's what you need in times like this. Besides, she's probably had enough of people seeing her so suddenly.]

[It's when she's on the couch that Luce finally slips over next to her, patting her shoulder reassuringly.]

Feeling a little better, dear?

[Or at least under control.]

[faithfulflame]

[Rei crosses her arms and frowns down at the floor, lip pouting just a bit.]

I...really feel like an idiot.

[That's the first thing that comes to mind. She still can't believe she'd forgotten to just...make sure Yosuke was gone before they showed up. Or that they were showing up at all.]

[giglio_madonna]

That's normal.

[Shaking her head fondly, Luce sweeps her fingers through Rei's hair.]

Let me guess- you got swept up in the moment?

A

[trustme]

[ Less than a minute after Rei flings herself back onto the bed Doctor pokes his head in through the doorway. ]

Rei? Rei is this the Yosuke fellow you're dating? I hope it is. Or poor Yosuke. I can see why you like him! He's a handsome chap!

Are you alright Rei? I hope everything functioned correctly for you two- no need for the morning after pill right?

[ All of this is called out from the doorway, easily heard by Yosuke standing nearby and probably the entire rest of the band for that matter. ]

[faithfulflame]

[At the question, Rei shoots a red-eyed look back at Doctor, completely aghast at what he was saying.]

Yes of course it's Yosuke! Don't be stupid, Doctor!

[She wouldn't cheat on her boyfriend, that was just ridiculous...

The second question though, that gets her to sit bolt upright and throw a pillow at him!]

Functioned...what?!

[trustme]

[ Rei's aim is right on target as usual and Doctor is the awkward person he is as usual, taking the pillow straight to the face. ]

Oof! [ The pillow drops aside and he kicks it away like it might get up and hit him again on its own. ]

I only want to make sure you had a pleasant experience and don't need any help dealing with possible fertilization or relationship drama!

[i_am_not_cute]

[Blink, blink. This was not quite how Pao-Lin expected to start her morning. Not that she wasn't happy to see the both of them, technically, but...they'd clearly been up to something "special." Which Pao-Lin was fine with! What she was not fine with was seeing big sister Rei so upset.

Cautiously, she trudges up to the bedroom, knocking lightly on the door.]

Rei? Can I come in...?

[faithfulflame]

[Rei looks up from the bed, with unhappy red eyes...]

Y-yes...you can...

[i_am_not_cute]

[Pao-Lin creeps in, closing the door behind her with her free hand. In her other she's got a cup of tea.]

Here. I brought you some tea, if you want it.

[There's also some sweet breakfast tarts on the saucer. Sweet things always cheers Pao-Lin up, so hopefully it'll do the same for Rei.]
