Work Text:
The club is raging, music pumping through the speakers, people either at the bar or on the dance floor. Everyone is having the time of their lives. Kazuya, is a 23 year old college student who was dragged onto his club by his so called best friend Youichi. They just walked in together.
“Come on Miyuki. Live a little” Youichi says as he patted the boys shoulder and pushed him towards the door.
“Yeah yeah. Where is your boy toy?” Kazuya says with a smirk as he grabbed a seat at the bar.
Youichi sputters. “S-shut up. R-ryou-san is not my boy toy” he says with a blush.
“Sure and water isn’t wet” Kazuya says with a roll of eyes.
“What can I get you boys?”a sweet voice sounded from the bar. Kazuya and Youichi turns the voice to bet met with a tall short haired brunette who is smiling widely.
Youichi eyes the way Kazuya’s mouth has dropped and smirks to himself. He then nudges Kazuya’s shoulder. “Aren’t you going to order, Miyuki?”
Kazuya shakes out of his reverie. He then smiles towards the beautiful bartender with a slight blush. “What do you recommend uh…Sawamura?” he says reading the name tag that is on the girl’s blouse.
“Most people just call me Ei-chan. And what do you like to drink? Something sweet? Fruity? Hard? Or should I just whip you up something and surprise you?”
“He’ll have an order of your sweet ass” Youichi says before cracking up in laughter.
Kazuya cheeks redden but smacks Youichi’s head nonetheless. “He d-doesnt mean it. I m-mean you do have a nice ass… Let’s get me that drink why don’t you?”
Youichi groans and glares at Kazuya. “I’ll just have a beer” he says.
Sawamura giggles. “Alright a beer for you. And I’ll whip something you up something special” she says with a wink towards Kazuya.
He didn’t understand how it happened but somehow he managed to take the sweet beautiful bartender back to his place and now they were heading towards his bedroom both hastily taking each other’s clothes off.
“What about a condom?” Sawamura voices out after breaking away from a rough kiss.
“Don’t worry I got one” Kazuya says with a smirk as he pulls one out from his back pocket of his jeans that he is still wearing.
Sawamura then grabs his face and gives him another rough kiss as she pushes him down onto the bed.
About six weeks has passed from that night and Sawamura had never seen the male but has been feel quite nauseous in the mornings. Mostly her head starts aching and her stomach feels queasy. Often times she ends up having to run to the bathroom from her morning classes and vomiting into the nearest toilet.
“Ei-chan. You really should get checked. This sickness isn’t normal. It’s almost as if you have morning sickn-..” Haruichi, Sawamura’s best friend since high school, starts to say one morning before her mouth drops. Her eyes widen as she stares at her best friend.“Ei-chan…I..I.. think you might be pregnant.”
Sawamura’s own mouth drops. “W-what? N-noooooo. I-I I can’t be. I..W-we..we used a condom!”
“A condom only works about 97% of the time Sawamura” Haruichi says.
“What?! THEY SHOULD PUT THAT ON THE BOX!” Sawamura shouts.
“Uh..they do.” Haruichi states.
“WHAT? HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT?”
“I… use them with Sa-chan..” Haruichi says with a blush.
Sawamura pulls at her hair. “This is nuts. I can’t be pregnant.”
“There is only way to check. Come on Ei-chan” Haruichi says before grabbing her best friend’s hand and pulling her towards the nearest convenience store.
“No. This can’t be happening. This test is rigged.”
“Ei-chan you said that the last three pregnancy tests. What more do you need to convince you that you’re pregnant? Do you want to get a doctor’s check up? “ Haruichi asks. They are both back in Sawamura’s apartment. She is sitting on the kitchen chair. She is completely exasperated at her best friend’s denial to her pregnancy.
Sawamura is pacing the floor. “This can’t be happening. I can’t be pregnant. I’m only 21 years old almost 22. I’m too young to have a child.”
“Not really. My mother had me when she was our age” Haruichi states.
“That’s not the point. Point is. I’m not ready to have this baby.”
“Well there is always putting the baby up for adoption” Haruichi says.
“I..guess.”
“Now the question is… are you going tell the father?” Haruichi asks.
Sawamura sighs. “How can I? I don’t even have his number. It was a one time thing, Haruicchi. I don’t even see him come by at the bar.”
“Well did you go to his place or did you know…do it here?” Haruichi asks.
“We went to his place. Why do you ask?”
“Do you remember the area?”
“Haruicchi its been weeks since then. Of course I don’t remember the area” Sawamura states bluntly. “Heck I don’t even remember his name”.
“Alright I’m just trying to help here. Do you know anyone that would know him? Like a mutual friend or someone.”
“No..well I mean I remember seeing your brother hanging with his friend.”
“Wait? My brother. As in my aniki?”
“Yeah. He was with the guy with the obnoxious laughter and weird hair” Sawamura explains.
Haruichi’s eyes widen his eyes at this information. “Wait did the guy you did it with…..did he have glasses on?”
“Uh.. yeah.. why?” Sawamura asks, a confused expression on her face.
“Did he also have like shaggy brown hair?”
“Yeah. What are you getting at Haru-chan. I’m confused.”
Haruichi smiles widely. “I think I may know who the father is.”
“What? How?”
“Let me just call my brother and see if we can get him over here” Haruichi says before going towards the couch to grab her phone from her purse.
“Wait. Haruichi. Wait a second. This is insane. How are so sure this guy is the right guy?”
“Because there is only one guy I know that has an obnoxious laughter that my brother hangs out with and that’s his boyfriend. And this boyfriend is like best friends with this guy named Miyuki Kazuya who has shaggy hair and wears glasses.”
The instant Sawamura heard the name she freezes. Haruichi knew then that this guy must be the father.
Sawamura then closes her eyes and sighs. “Alright. Call him over” she says. “He has the right to know. And if he doesn’t want any part of this then so be it.”
“That’s really mature of you to say, Ei-chan” Haruichi says with a smile before grabbing out her phone.
“S-shut up. I read a lot of shoujo manga..okay. Gosh” Sawamura says with a blush before sitting down on the couch. “W..will you stay with me when I..tell him?..Please”
“Sure. If you want me to. Now I’ll be right back I’m going to call my brother.”
“Just tell him everything but tell him not to tell Miyuki. That’s the easiest and fastest way to get him over here” Sawamura says.
“Alright. Be right back” Haruichi says before walking towards Sawamura’s bedroom to call his brother.
It didn’t take much for Ryousuke to convince his boyfriend to convince Kazuya to get out of his apartment and stop wallowing. For the past couple weeks the boy couldn’t get Sawamura off his head. He tried looking for her back at the club but she never seems to be there when he comes. All Youichi did to get Kazuya out of bed was the promise of free beer and to stop bugging him for a week. Consider Youichi came over pretty much every day it was an offer he couldn’t not take up on.
“So where exactly are you taking me?” Kazuya asks. He is now sitting on the passenger seat of Youichi’s car.
“You’ll see.”
“I feel faint. I can’t do this” Sawamura says to her best friend as she starts pacing the floor in anticipation.
“Yes, you can. I’ll be here when you tell him. So calm down. They’ll be here soon.”
“How can I calm down, Haruicchi? I’m about to tell the father that he is the father.”
“It will be fine. I’m sure of it.”
“How are you so sure?” Sawamura asks as she sits herself onto the couch across from her best friend.
“Because I just have a feeling that it’s not going to go as badly as you predict it to be. I’ve met Miyuki before. He is a good person. He was captain of my brother’s baseball team after he graduated.”
Sawamura sighs. “I hope you’re right.”
Suddenly a knock is heard from the front door.
“Seems like he’s here. Want me to get the door ?” Haruichi asks.
“No. It’s fine. I’ll get it. “ Sawamura says before getting up from the couch. She then walks to her front door.
At the other side of the door Kazuya is complaining to Youichi.
“Where the hell are we? Why did you take me here?”
“I had to or Ryou-san wasn’t going to have sex with me. It was kind of part of the deal’ Youichi says before knocking on the door.
Suddenly the doors open and they’re met with the brunette girl that Kazuya has been pining over.
“H-hi” Sawamura says with a small smile as she opens the door a bit more to let the two inside. “Come in.”
“Don’t mind if we do” Youichi says with a smile before walking inside the apartment. Kazuya is still frozen in place. “Miyuki stop being rude and get your ass inside” he demands. When his eyes met the petite pink hair girl he smiles at her. “Hey Haruichi.”
“Hi Kuramochi-sempai” Haruichi says with a smile.
“Uhm.. d-do you guys want some water or something to drink?” Sawamura asks.
“No. We’re good but thanks” Youichi says before sitting down on the couch.
Now Kazuya was completely confused. He doesn’t understand why he is here. He is so confused. “So…how do you guys know each other and why are we here?” he asks.
“Uhm well my brother is Ryousuke. Kuramochi’s boyfriend” Haruichi explains. “And well there is something that Ei-chan has to tell you.”
All eyes then turn towards the female brunette.
Sawamura takes a deep breath and closes her eyes before opening them.“I..I’m pregnant” she says. She then faces Kazuya. “And you’re the father.”
Youichi eyes widen before he turns towards his best friend and wraps an arm around his shoulder. “Congratulations buddy. You’re a father”
Kazuya is completely frozen in place, his mouth dropped to the floor. This is not the news he expected to here.
“Y-you don’t have to be part of the pregnancy at all and I’m not asking for support but..I figured it best for you to know” Sawamura explains.
Kazuya stills sits frozen in place. Youichi rolls his eyes and takes his arm off his shoulder.
“Alright this might take a while. He doesn’t take surprises all that well” Youichi states. “So do you have any beer?”
Sawamura sighs before getting up from the couch. “Yes I do. I’ll get you some. Haruichi, can you come with me?”
“Yeah sure.”
“I don’t think he took it well” Haruichi states bluntly once they reach the kitchen.
“You think?” Sawamura says sarcastically as she grabs out the beer out from the fridge. “ I thought you said everything was going to be fine.”
“Well obviously I was wrong” Haruichi says before sighing. “Okay look we can either wait till he comes to his senses or kick them out now and never see him again. What do you want to do, Ei-chan? It’s your decision.”
Sawamura sighs. “I..I don’t know. Let’s just wait I guess” Sawamura says.
Back in the living room Kazuya finally comes to his sense.
“This is insane. We fucking used a condom. Sh-she can’t be pregnant. I..I’m too young to be a father.”
“Well like she said you don’t have to be part of the baby’s life, Miyuki.”
“I can’t just do that to her. I love Sawamura” Kazuya says right when Sawamura and Haruichi returns to the living room.
“Y-you what?” Sawamura stutters out in shock.
Kazuya’s head whips so fast that he almost got whiplash. His eyes widen and his mouth drops a second time for the day. He didn’t want Sawamura to hear him say that he loved her.
“D-did you j-just say you l-love me?”
“No. Well. Yes but I didn’t mean .. I mean..” Kazuya sputters out. He then sighs. He then walks over towards Sawamura and takes her hand. “Look ever since that night we met I couldn’t stop thinking about you. I even tried looking for you at the club you work at but you never were there. I didn’t know how to get in contact you but I wanted to. You can even ask Youichi here. He can vouch for me.”
“It’s true. He wouldn’t shut up about you” Youichi says before grabbing the beer that was in Sawamura’s hand and opening it with the bottle opener that is attached to his keys.
“What I’m trying to say is that well if you let me I’d like to be part of this pregnancy.”
Sawamura is now the one that is completely speechless. She didn’t know how to respond. However because of her hormonal levels she ends up bursting into tears. She is happy. She thought she would have to do this alone but knowing that Kazuya wanted to help was just a breath of fresh air.
Kazuya pulls her into his arms and holds her tightly. “It’s alright. We’ll get through this together. I won’t leave you.”
Sawamura clings onto Kazuya and puts her head onto his shoulder. “T-thank you” she says through her tears.
It definitely wasn’t planned but in the end it turned out to be a beautiful surprise. Sawamura didn’t know if she loved Kazuya the same way he felt about her but she knew that she has fondness and admiration for him. She is just happy that she has his full support in this endeavor.
OMAKE:
Six months later.
“KAZUYA WHERE IS MY PICKLE WITH PEANUT BUTTER?” Sawamura who is now six months pregnant and laying on the couch with a bunch of candy wrappers and chip bags surrounding her, yells.
They were now dating and Kazuya decided it would be best for him to move in and so he did.
“I’m coming” Kazuya shouts back from the kitchen. “Geez. Her stupid cravings are getting more ridiculous. I swear” he mutters to himself before putting peanut butter onto a pickle and then putting it on a plate. He then walks over towards his girlfriend and hands her the plate. “Here you go, Babe.”
Sawamura smiles at him. “Thanks. You’re the best, Kazuya.”
“Yeah yeah. Anything for you my love” Kazuya says with a smile before kissing Sawamura’s stomach.
“Hey!” Sawamura says with a pout after taking a bite of the pickle. “What about me?”
Kazuya chuckles before leaning over to plant a chaste kiss onto his girlfriend’s lips. “I love you, Ei-chan”
Sawamura smiles as they part from the kiss. “I love you too, Kazuya.”
