Let's get married!
Prologue
"Captain."
"Echizen."
Ryoma was speechless and utterly shocked to see Tezuka sitting in front of him. He was supposed to be here (Seaside Bistro) to see his father's new wife and his soon-to-be stepmother. He had heard from his father, his soon-to-be stepmother had children of her own but, Tezuka as his brother; sounded impossible to him.
Tezuka was quiet, but was as shocked as Ryoma nevertheless. The same thing was going on in his mind: Echizen, my stepbrother. This never seemed impossible to me.
"Oh! You know my son!" exclaimed Tezuka Mai - Tezuka's mother. "This will be easy. I was worried how to bring you boys together."
"Don't worry darling. They will get along fine," said Echizen Nanjiroh in a whispery voice while clasping his future wife's hand lovingly, and then sighed. "It seems just like a dream to be able to marry you. The days before us will be bathed in honey. My love!"
"I promise you that. Our marriage will only be a bliss!" she clasped his hand with hers tightly and the two of them were in a world of their own.
"Ahem. Sorry for interrupting but you haven't finished your introduction yet."
"Sorry, Haruka. We were too absorbed, how embarrassing!" Tezuka Mai covered her face with her hands dramatically. She then placed her hands on the shoulders of a girl sitting next to her. The girl had the same hair and eye colour as Tezuka but bear no resemblance to him, mostly because she had an air of gentleness around her. "This is my eldest child: Haruka."
"There's nothing to be embarrassed of right, Harumi?" asked Echizen Nanjiroh to a girl who looked as old as Ryoma. She was sitting next to Haruka therefore she was sitting between Haruka and Tezuka.
Harumi nodded.
"This is my youngest daughter: Harumi. I had another daughter, she's my second child. Her name is Haruya."
"Say, where's Haruya," asked Echizen Nanjiroh, looking around.
"She said she wanted to buy a present for Ryoma. She should be here soon," answered Haruka. She turned her attention to Ryoma. "You don't mind me calling you by the name, do you?"
"Uh.no, no." He assured her. He had been in a daze ever since he saw Tezuka so it took him a moment to digest what Haruka had asked.
"Aww, how cute!" Ryoma heard a shrill cry behind him but before he could turn around and see who it was, he was pulled into a crushing and rather suffocating embrace.
"Haruya, you are late," said Mai disapprovingly.
"Sorry. Hi, I'm Haruya, little brother."
This marked the end of the introduction.
