"Natsuki, you turn 22 in one week! Your 20 year old sister is getting married in 2 weeks, and if you don't find a fiancée in that time I'll postpone her wedding!"
"WHAT?" Natsuki shot up from the leather couch with a shocked face.
"I'm serious! Your grandfather's will state's that if you aren't married by 25, you don't get your inheritance."
"Stupid grandfather! But that's' still 3 more years mother!"
"Well, I want grandchildren, thank you!"
"Alyssa will give you grandchildren!"
"No excuses! You should have been married before your sister!"
Natsuki's mind started racing, "but I don't want to get married! I'm already president of the company; don't you think the person I marry will be some gold-digger?"
"I will take no excuses! I'll find some suitable men for you," Saeko Kuga emphasized, Alyssa sat silently, listening to the conversation.
Saeko was going through menopause, so she was more stubborn than usual.
"I prefer women!" Natsuki blurted out with a grin, take that mom. "How can I get married to a woman?"
Saeko smirked at her daughter, and Natsuki paled at that. "Mom, why are you staring at me like that?"
"You thought you got out of it, didn't you?"
Natsuki started to get afraid, "w-what do you mean?"
"Aha," Saeko laughed with triumph, "Natsuki doesn't know that it's legal now for women to marry?"
Natsuki was shocked, "what?!"
Alyssa shook her head and sighed.
"But you wanted grandchildren!" Natsuki pointed out with a smile, "Even if I do marry, how will you get grandchildren?"
Saeko cocked an eyebrow, "I'm the wealthiest woman in Fuuka, and an expert scientist, I'm sure we could figure it out. Not to mention we could also adopt."
"Then why don't you just ADOPT! I don't need to get married for that!"
"Ah, but if you don't bring a fiancée to your birthday party next week, Alyssa's wedding will be postponed. Do you want to do that to your sister?"
Natsuki crossed her arms, "You wouldn't!"
"Oh Natsuki-chan, I would. Or would you prefer I take away your bike?"
"YOU WOULDN'T!"
Saeko just shrugged and left the room, leaving Natsuki to look at the large photograph in the mansion living room of her deceased father.
"What are you smiling at?" She accused.
"Onee-chan," Alyssa whispered out.
"What?" Natsuki sighed.
"I'm pregnant, so... I need to get married."
"What!"
And that was how Natsuki found herself sitting in a bar, drinking away her sorrow.
She was by herself, sulking as she had some more scotch. To her left, there was a group of giggling girls. They annoyed her.
"Why me?" Natsuki muttered before looking up to her trusty bartender. "More scotch please," she asked politely. She was used to having a business attitude to others; involving her to be respectful to other people.
The group of girls giggled again, and Natsuki spared them a glance. She was a little jealous that they were so easily enjoying themselves.
She doubted any of them had a pregnant sister (she swore to beat the shit out of Takeda for that one) for whose sake she had to marry.
She doubted they had a mother threatening to take away their bike!
"Fujino-san," the bartender called out to one of the girls while handing Natsuki her scotch.
"Your order is ready."
The one called Fujino got up and came up to the counter standing next to Natsuki.
"Thank you Komo-san," she said in some weird accent.
"I assure you they are the finest tea leaves!"
That, made Natsuki snort.
She realised she snorted and coughed to pretend she didn't. Before she made eye contact with Komo and snickered. It had to be the liquor.
"Ara, what's so funny?" The lady next to her asked, accusing.
"Excuse me," Natsuki said trying to hold down her smile, it didn't help that she was intoxicated. "I just had a bit too much to drink."
She downed the rest of her glass.
"More?" Komo asked, already getting out the bottle, and Natsuki nodded as he poured it.
"You came to a bar," Natsuki said, still not looking up to the person she was ridiculing, "to order tea?"
She heard a giggle, and turned to see a very beautiful woman give her a smile, causing her to blush. She was drunk, that was it.
"Ara, I suppose it is rather funny. But would you be surprised if I told you that this tea is the best in the neighbourhood?"
Natsuki grinned, taking a swig of scotch, "same with the scotch."
Komo chuckled, "I'll go to the back to get your tea Fujino-san."
"So, if you don't mind me asking," Shizuru's interest in this individual was perked, "what is a cutie like you doing drowning herself in scotch?"
Natsuki blushed at being called 'cute' but turned to her new acquaintance, "My mother."
Shizuru giggled at the tone Natsuki used knowing it was a bit sarcastic.
Natsuki smirked.
"What do you do for a living?" Natsuki asked randomly.
Shizuru raised an amused eyebrow, "I like to paint."
Natsuki snorted again, "That's not much of an answer."
Shizuru shrugged, "Shizuru Fujino, pleased to meet you," she held a hand out.
Natsuki took it briefly, "Natsuki Kuga."
"So Fujino," Natsuki played with the ice in her glass, "has your family ever pressured you into something?"
Shizuru smiled a smile that didn't reach her eyes, "unfortunately, I don't have one."
Natsuki didn't even bother saying sorry like most people, Shizuru noted, she simply shrugged.
"My mother tells me today, that if I don't have a fiancée by my birthday next week, she'll postpone my sister's wedding and take away my bike."
Komo came at that moment and put a plastic bag of Shizuru's tea in front her. Thanking him, she moved her attention back to Natsuki.
Natsuki sighed, "How do I just find someone? Not to mention my sister is pregnant, so she really shouldn't have her wedding postponed. And my beautiful bike! Mom is being cruel! Her excuse is she wants grandchildren. She'll get damn grandchildren since my sister is damn pregnant."
Shizuru couldn't help herself from giggling, it was an amusing predicament.
"Stop laughing," Natsuki glared.
Shizuru stood up from her seat, "Kuga-san, I think you should most likely just find a fiancée," she left some money for Komo who thanked her.
Natsuki tossed a wad of bills carelessly and stood up in haste, "wait!" Shizuru turned around, "what do you mean?"
Shizuru put the tea in her over sized purse, "I wonder."
Suddenly Natsuki eye's lit up, causing Shizuru to give her a questioning look.
"You can help me!"
"Me?"
Natsuki nodded furiously and grabbed her hand, seating her down again and ignoring the eyes of others in the bar.
"You can pretend to be my fiancée until my sister gets married!"
Shizuru realised that Natsuki was being serious.
"Look," Natsuki panicked slightly, "I'll pay you, and it'll be purely professional!"
Shizuru considered this, "no sex," she said with a tease, but serious.
Natsuki blushed, "yes, as I said, purely professional!"
Shizuru realised this girl was being absolutely serious.
Natsuki sighed, "My mom already knows I prefer women, so that's no problem. You don't have a boyfriend or something that would mind you pretending, right?"
Shizuru giggled, this Natsuki was very adorable. "No, I'm currently single," Shizuru said and watched as relief spread across Natsuki's face.
"Well, I am engaged," Shizuru winked, and Natsuki caught on.
"Thank you!"
Natsuki got Shizuru's number so she could call her the next day, and left the bar practically skipping with joy.
"Did you just give out your phone number?" Shizuru's friend Yukino asked with surprise. After all, Shizuru Fujino never gave out her number.
Shizuru smirked, looking at all of her friend's curious faces.
"Yes," she said, not bothering to inform them about the deal, "she was very cute!"
They all sweat dropped and resumed their previous chat, making random teases at each other and giggling.
