interstellar5555 | Sometimes the First Impression...[Closed]

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?]

[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.]

[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.]

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?

I...a little? I mean, I definitely planned to invite him to bed last night.

[That was the truth.]

I was just so worried about that that I...forgot...you were coming.

That's normal. It's quite an event, after all.

Look on the brightside- at least it's us, your band, instead of... I don't know, nosy room service who'd sell something to the paparazzi.

Yes...but...still. You...he...you shouldn't have met him like that.

But we have, and there's no helping it now. It's not the perfect first meeting, no, but you can make the rest of them smoother from this point on, right?

It's not as though anyone's thrown him bodily from the hotel room.

No. I wouldn't let you.

[She'd remove any of you guys first, after all.]

And I certainly hope so. I mean...last night was nice. It was different than I expected, but it was enjoyable. he's...[Blushing.] very sweet. Even if he seems like a dolt at times.

That's a bright spot, then. I'm glad it went well for you.

[Especially since awkward teenagers + sex often leads to shenanigans.]

Besides that, has being away from the penthouse been doing you some good?

It has been yes. I mean, it was really nice to be away from all the hustle and bustle.

[That's always a problem, and she's so glad they're moving past the sex.]

[No need to linger on humiliating topics, that's Luce's motto.]

That's good... Still no really getting away from the guards, however. I swear it's like they're lurking everywhere.

Oh well. A bit of space is better than none at all. They can't keep this up forever.

They left us alone last night. I'm sure the hotel's under surveillance, too.

[Because she wasn't stupid.]

But I don't think they care much, anymore. So long as we behave, anyway.

Quite.

[There's a lot to say about that, but for another time. Today is supposed to be a relaxing day.]

So, do you think Yosuke will stay around for a while longer, or does he plan on running back to Pride soon?
