Disclaimer : I don't own the characters.
I've split this story in two parts simply because I kind of dislike long oneshots. I know it sounds strange but in my opinion it always gets messy when I try to write something that's over 4000 words. Probably because I have the feeling I'm repeating myself. Therefor, two parts. This is the first one. Let me know what you think of it so far!
Summary : Michiru's parents come for a visit, unaware of the fact Michiru isn't just dating a woman, she's dating two! How will they react when they find out?

Michiru took a deep breath before nodding. She was holding the phone in one hand while playing nervously with her a strand of her hair with the other. ''Yes. I understand. Ofcourse.'' She mumbled into the phone. She tried her best to hide her irritation but she obviously failed to do so. ''No ofcourse not. Just haven't slept much last night.'' She lied. ''Ok. I'll see you then.'' For a moment she remained silent as if listening to the person on the other side of the line. ''Alright. Good evening.'' And with that Michiru finally hung up.
She sighed while looking down at the phone with a confused look on her face. ''I can't believe her!'' She yelled in frustration. With that she turned around and made her way back into the livingroom. On the couch sat Haruka with Setsuna on her lap. They were kissing passionately and for a moment Michiru was about to forget all her frustration. Then when the other two noticed her they pulled back.
Garnet eyes and emerald eyes met blue ones. Michiru just looked away and walked over to the couch as well. Without any further warning or words to be spoken she fell down on it while convering her head with her hand. ''What's wrong, love?'' She heard Setsuna say.
When she didn't reply Setsuna looked at Haruka with a worried look in her eyes before crawling off her lover's lap. She was now sitting next to Michiru who seemed to be on the verge of breaking down into tears. ''Love,'' She tried again while putting her hand around the aqua haired girl. ''What's wrong? Who was on the phone?''
Haruka also stood up and sat down on the other side next to Michiru. She had never seen Michiru like this before. Usually she was always smiling and happy. It was always Michiru who cheered them up when they felt down. It was simply unusual to see Michiru in this state. ''Are you alright?'' The tomboy tried as she pulled Michiru's hands down so she could look at her lover's face.
When they saw the hurt yet angered look in Michiru's eyes they immidiately knew something was terribly wrong. ''Alright,'' Haruka hissed. ''Who was it because I'm seriously going to beat that person to pulp.''
Michiru smiled a bit. ''Don't do that Ruka.'' With that she took Haruka's hand in her own. With her other hand she held on tight to Setsuna's hand.
''Who was one the phone?'' Setsuna tried again, this time a bit more gentle. She was very aware of the fact that whoever it was had really upset Michiru.
The aqua haired girl took another deep breath before releasing her lovers hands. ''My mother.'' She finally admitted. ''She and my father are coming over for dinner in a few hours. I don't even know what to prepare and what to do about it. I mean, they don't know about the two of you. They've disliked Haruka the moment they met her and, I just don't understand. Why would they suddenly decide to contact me. I haven't spoken to them in months.''
Setsuna just looked at Haruka with a questioning look in her eyes but then she focussed on the frustrated girl again. ''Calm down, Michi. They're not worth the trouble. If you want I can cook dinner and wear a maid's outfit or something. I'll pretend to be your maid. Or I could just go out and take Haruka with me for the evening.''
''No!'' Michiru yelped, quickly clinging onto Setsuna as if she was afraid of losing her. After taking a few deep breaths she had calmed down again and released the green haired woman again. ''I want the two of you to stay. I won't lie to my family. I won't hide my feelings for the two of you just because they wouldn't be able to accept it.''
''If that's what you want.'' Setsuna whispered before placing a small kiss on her lover's forehead. ''Don't worry about it then. Everything will be fine. Haruka and I will stay here and support you. No matter what.''
''Thanks.'' Michiru said although her smile had faded again.
Haruka smiled a bit. ''Besides,'' She was now looking at Setsuna. ''When she said her parents disliked me. That was an understatement. They hate me.''
''I won't even ask.'' Setsuna chuckled. Slowly she got up again. ''I'd better start with dinner. Did she tell you at what time she'd be arriving?''
''Around 8pm.'' Michiru replied, looking rather depressed at this point. Were her parents really that bad?
''Alright. We've got two hours to get everything done then.'' Setsuna stated. She was now looking at Haruka with a firm look in her eyes. ''You clean up the bedrooms and the rest of the house just in case they decide to stay for the night. Usually parents have the intentions so stay longer than wished for.''
''Why me?'' Haruka complained. ''You know that whenever I try to clean something up it ends up like a complete mess.''
Setsuna rolled her eyes jokingly. ''That's because you manage to either seduce me, Michiru or both of us into having sex with you. We always knock over everything that's in our way. And that's exactly the reason why you're cleaning the house. With me in the kitchen and Michiru getting dressed and ready for the confrontation with her parents you won't have a single body to touch.''
''Good point.'' Haruka thought about it for a moment.
Finally Michiru let out a giggle. ''You two are too much.''
''Don't you love it?'' Haruka mused before pulling Michiru closer to her and started to kiss her way down from Michiru's cheek to her neckline. Her hands already started to massage Michiru's breast.
''There you go again.'' Setsuna sighed.
''What?'' Slowly Haruka pulled away again and quickly stole a kiss from the aqua haired beauty. ''I was just trying to cheer her up.''
''Right.'' Setsuna laughed slightly. ''Now get up. If you really want to cheer Michiru up then make sure tonight will go flawless.''
''Fine.'' Haruka took a deep breath, pretending to be going through a rough time before getting up again. Quickly before Setsuna could say anything else she pressed her lips together with Setsuna's. ''But remember,'' She started as she pulled back. ''Both of you owe me big time.''
''Tonight.'' Setsuna promised. Her reply seemed to be enough for Haruka because before she could say anything else Haruka had already made her way out the livingroom to collect a few bags, a broom and other stuff she found nessesary to use for the 'big' clean up.
When the green haired woman heard Haruka walk up the stairs she gazed back at Michiru. ''Are you going to be alright?'' She hesitated for a moment. ''I understand if you'd rather not tell your parents about me.''
Michiru smiled a bit but then shook her head. ''Don't say such things. I'm sure they'll like you once they get to know you. They're just so old fashioned. They don't like what they don't know or aren't familiar with. Besides I'm not ashamed of you Setsuna. I love you.''
''I love you too.'' The taller woman replied before bending down to kiss Michiru. At first the kiss remained innocent but when Michiru put her arms around the other's neck in order to pull her closer the kiss somehow had gotten more passionate as well. Before she even realised it Setsuna found herself sitting on top of Michiru just like she had been sitting on Haruka's lap earlier.
They pulled away for a slight second to look at each other but then they pressed their lips together again. One of Setsuna's hands which had been resting on Michiru's shoulder now made its way down, resting on her breast. Upon doing this she could feel Michiru react beneath her by opening her mouth for the other's tongue to enter. As she started to massage Michiru's left breast she let Michiru's tongue explore her mouth all over again.
For a moment it seemed like nothing would ever come of the whole cooking thing until they heard someone behind them clear their throat. In shock both girls looked up at the blonde tomboy. Michiru seemed relieved. It was as if she had been expecting her parents. ''As much as I enjoy watching the two of you...'' Haruka paused for a moment while holding up an empty back. ''We've got stuff to do remember. Safe your energy for tonight.'' The last part was accompanied by a wink.
''She's right.'' Setsuna admitted much to her dismay. ''We should start actually doing something.''
''We are,'' Michiru giggled. ''I was about to make love to my girlfriend.''
''I know love. I know.'' Setsuna replied. With that she placed another small kiss on Michiru's lips before getting up again. She turned around to face Haruka, staring at the tomboy with an amused as well as irritated look on her face. ''Thanks Tenoh.'' And without saying anything else she pressed her lips against Haruka's cheek before walking into the kitchen.
''What did I do?'' Haruka wondered, noticing the tone of sarcasm in the green haired woman's voice. Michiru just shook her head in amusement. Sometimes Haruka could be really sex driven but she seemed to be serious about meeting Michiru's parents again. The last time Haruka had met them had also been the first time. From the moment they found out Michiru was dating with Haruka they had decided to make the blonde's life a living hell.
And even though Michiru had tried to make it clear that Haruka was female by refering her as a 'she' or 'her' a lot of times when it wasn't nessasary, her parents still hadn't figured out Haruka's real gender. ''Ruka, how do you think they'll react.''
Haruka thought about it for a moment. ''As parents I guess. I mean, you've met my folks and you wouldn't believe it but they acted the same like your parents when they found out their precious daughter was only interested in dating the same gender. They freaked and tried to ignore it. And now they're ok with it. I guess they thought it was just a fase or something like that. Now they almost call me every week to ask me, you and Setsuna to come over for a visit. They seem to really have accepted it.''
''But your parents are nice and loving. So unlike mine. It's like they want me to be perfect.''
''And you are perfect.'' Haruka reassured her lover. ''Don't worry too much. Just like I told you. They just need to accept the fact that you're not interested in men.''
Michiru nodded. ''You're right but that still doesn't change the fact I'm nervous about tonight.''
''Everything will be fine.'' Haruka stated. ''As long as your mom won't start another conversation with me about her wanting to have grand children. I hate it when she does that. It's like she very well knows I won't be able to give her those damned grand children.''
''I'm sorry.'' Michiru whispered, catching Haruka off guard.
''For what?''
''For my mother's behaviour. Not to mention my father when he comes here. It's like he wants to take you away from me. I don't want them to come between the three of us. I'm happy the way we are.''
''Stop thinking about that.'' Haruka paused for a moment before throwing the empty bag on the ground. ''They won't come between us. They could never do that. Our love is too strong and you very well know that it's true. Just think the best of it. It won't be that bad in the end.''
''Promise?''
''Promise.'' Haruka whispered as she extended a hand. Michiru greatfully took it and let Haruka pull her off the couch right into her arms. Haruka placed a small kiss on Michiru's forehead before pulling away again. ''Now why don't you take a nice warm shower and forget about your worries for a moment.''
''I should be helping you or Setsuna in the kitchen.'' Michiru tried but Haruka's mind was set.
''Go and take a shower.'' She demanded, using a tone in her voice that left Michiru with no other option but to obey.
''Alright then. But after that I'll help you and Setsuna clean up the house.'' The aqua haired girl said.

Setsuna who was busy cutting carrots into small pieces took a deep breath before staring out of the window. It was already getting dark outside. Usually about this time she, Haruka and Michiru would sit on the couch, crawl together and watch television together while enjoying each other's company. She hadn't even met Michiru's parents but she had already started to dislike them with a certain passion.
Not only because they had ruined her perfect friday night but also because of the way they affected Michiru. Never before had she seen Michiru act so distant and scared. It was simply unlike her to be like that.
It had been two years ago since the senshi had fought against Galaxia and with that finished their last battle. At least, their last battle until Crystal Tokyo. At first Setsuna had disliked the idea of being free for at least another couple of years without a goal in life. Without something to do and reach for. Surely she could lead a normal life now but what was there to do for her?
Even though she was one who always knew everything that was going to happen in the future she hadn't been able to predict the twist in her life. One evening she had felt so lonely that she had visited Haruka and Michiru for some comfort. She ended up telling them how she was feeling and much to her surprise they were able to comfort her. Never before had she ever shared much of how she was feeling. She had always remained the quiet woman but that night she had changed that completely.
She had finally opened up to her two fellow senshi.
A few weeks later Haruka and Michiru had invited her over for dinner. The whole morning and afternoon she had been feeling strange, mistaking it for being sick instead of seeing it as some sort of sign. A sign that everything was going to change. Not only for her but also for the other two senshi.
She smiled bitterly when she remembered how she had almost called Michiru and Haruka to tell them she wasn't going to make it because she wasn't feeling well. Thank god she had gone to see them after all. Or else she wouldn't have known what or where she would've been right now. That night Haruka tried to kiss her when Michiru had excused herself from the table because she had to use the bathroom.
At first Setsuna had protested but eventually she had given into Haruka's charms and replied to the kiss. When Michiru came back again both her as Haruka pretended like nothing had happened. Ofcourse Setsuna hadn't been aware of the fact Michiru had seen everything and that it had been just a set up. A few minutes later Setsuna had felt a hand on her knee that slowly had started to move up.
Ofcourse she thought it to be Haruka but when she thought about it she realized it was impossible. Haruka was sitting on the other side of the table! From that moment on she just knew what was going on. She pretended not know though. And to be honest she still didn't remember much of that night but she did remember waking up next to Haruka and Michiru.
No questions were to be asked afterwards. From that point they simply had been together.
A loud knock on the door caused her to snap out of her thoughts again. In shock she turned around to face Haruka.
''They're here...''
