Work Text:
"So tell your boyfriend I'm coming to visit with your niece!" That she says, and then hanging up. Mima was completely dumbfounded. He woke up at an early hour after forgetting to turn off his alarm for his day off. As he was reorienting himself, his phone's loud ringtone buzzed off.
He stood up from his bed and walked himself to the door. He sees the empty livingroom and closed bedroom door across him and accurately guessed that his own boyfriend hasnt awoken yet. Mima decided he'll at least make some toast and eggs for them before waking him up.
His sister and niece would probably arrive a little later, maybe around 10-11. He decided to just take it slow and relax a little. He took out his pan and glazed oil on top of it. After the heat reached a certain temperature on the oil, he cracked two eggs on it. After that he sprinkled black pepper and salt on them. He grabbed the toast from the toaster and served them up.
Hayate smelled the nice scent of breakfast and woke up. He rubs his eyes and stood up from his bed towards the door. As soon as he stepped out, he was greeted with the image of his boyfriend pouring orange juice onto two cups. Mima noticed the younger boy emerge from his room and greeted him.
"Good morning, I was about to wake you."
"Takayuki-san... Morning. You made breakfast..?"
"Yes, my sister and her daughter is coming later. I thought we should eat a little."
"I see.. wait your sister?!" Hayate seemed to realize what was happening.
Sure, they've been dating for years. But Hayate hadnt even met Mima's sister in person yet at all! Well occasionally Ricchan would come over and both Hayate and Mima would watch over her, but Hayate had never actually crossed paths with her mother. This would make it the first time he meets his boyfriend's sister!
"I was surprised too. When I woke up my phone rang and it turned out to be my sister. She says she's coming to finally meet you and bring us treats from her trip." Mima admitted.
"Let's worry about that later, the egg will get cold." Mima took his hand and guided him to the table.
"Alright.."
They sit down and eat their breakfast. Hayate compliments the meal and Mima embarrasedly rubs the back of his neck, proud of himself. They eat for awhile and stayed silent until Hayate decided to break their silence.
"So um... when is she arriving..?"
"Should be in an hour or two. Shall we bathe?"
"Yes, good idea! I wouldnt want to greet your sister in my pjamas!"
"I think you look very cute in said pjamas." Mima grinned.
Hayate turned red and immediately took their plates and loudly announced he'll wash them. Mima just laughed and laughed and followed behind him.
"I'll help." He offered.
"No no! You already made breakfast, I'll wash the dishes. Why dont you take the bathroom first?"
"If you say so Hayate-kun." And he goes.
Hayate washes the dishes in silence as he hears the shower running. He cant think of anything but the fact he's actually meeting Takayuki's sister. Yes, Mima had introduced him to his parents when they first started dating. But by some incredible coincidence everytime Hayate would be with Mima and his parents, his sister would be at some country or on a date with her husband.
He wiped down the last dish and placed it on the drying rack. After he dried his own hands, Mima emerged from the shower with only a towel on his waist. Hayate jumped at the sight of his boyfriend. Mima's toned lean tall body, his arm muscles making appearence when he rubs his hair with a towel. Without noticing Hayate oggling him, he went into his room. Hayate just reddens even more when he realized what had just happened.
He decided not to think about that anymore and just start the shower. So he steps in and washes every part of his body so it's clean and smells good enough for his sister-in-law. Wait, not sister-in-law they arent even married! He slaps himself on the face in embarrasment. He continues scrubbing his hair and body with a red grimaced face filled with shame and embarrasment.
He stepped out of the bathroom and immediately ran into his own room, completely trying to eliminate all chances of Mima possibly seeing him naked. Well, it's not like he hasn't seen him shirtless. They went to the beach afterall.
Mima wore a casual going out fit. He at least wanted to look neat if his boyfriend was going to meet his sister. He just pulled out a nice pink t-shirt and dark blue jeans. It's now 10 AM, his sister nowhere to be seen. He decided to check his phone and saw a notif from said person saying she's on her way about 10 minutes ago.
Hayate finally came out of his room. He wore a nice oversized blue sweatshirt and long white pants. He even put on a little perfume. Mima thought he looked really cute. Hayate walked towards the older man and sat next to him on the sofa.
"What time is it?"
"About.. 10.27 AM. My sister was on her way around 10 minutes ago."
"Oh, okay. Um.. how long does it usually take her to drive here??"
"Maybe about a 40 minute drive, did you forget?"
Hayate jumped in embarrasment and sat up straighter. His two hands on both legs trying to stop his legs from shaking so much from anxiety. Mima gently placed his own hands on top of Hayate and held it firmly. This action made the younger man look at him. What he sees is the adoring smile Mima is shining at him.
"Dont worry. My sister already loves you. Technically we've been dating for so long, she practically knows everything about you from Ricchan."
Though quiet, Hayate never broke eye contact.
"If you get nervous, just grab my hand."
Mima then kisses the knuckles on Hayate's fingers making the latter's blush intensify by 1000%.
"Alright. Thank you." He finally sounded relieved.
They spend the rest of the time cuddling on the couch before hearing the front bell ring. Mima went to retrieve them while Hayate started on preparing drinks. He opens the door and sees his sister standing there, souvenir bag one hand and his niece's tiny fingers on the other hand.
"Takayuki. Thanks for having us." His sister smiles.
"Come in sis." He opens the door wider for them to enter. "Hello Ricchan"
"Hello Uncle Takayuki!"
They take off their shoes before stepping inside. Ricchan immediately runs towards the livingroom. Her mother decided to take it slow and hand over the souvenirs first before going in. She starts the conversation by asking if her future brother-in-law is actually here.
"Yes. He should be in the livingroom or preparing drinks and snacks."
They reach the room to find Ricchan sitting and Hayate placing down the tray of snacks and tea. When he sees her, he freezes on the spot. She smiles at him adoringly, almost identical to how Mima does to him.
"Oh how it's nice to finally see your face in person Hayate-kun. How is it for all the years you've been dating my brother, I havent actually met you in the flesh?"
"O-Oh. Yes uhm..It's nice to finally meet you in person too Tanaka-san."
"Please call me Momoka. You're practically my brother-in-law at this point." She smiles sweetly. Hayate just nodded smiling as well.
Hayate quietly thinks about how much Mima and his sister looked and acted alike. They had this gentle and kind aura to them that feels so mature and comforting. He already feels so warm talking to her.
Mima guided his sister to sit down next to Ricchan who was chatting up a storm already. She's now 10 years old already, it's almost unbelievable how much she's grown. Now she reaches Hayate's chest height.
"Hayate-kun, where do you work?"
"Oh- I work at a publishing company!"
"Are you looking to be an author someday Hayate-kun?"
"No. I just really like reading and a friend reccomended I go into publishing."
Of course that 'friend' is none other than Motoharu. He was the one who encouraged Hayate to go to publishing as whatever role he could go into. He was an economics major so he did get into the economics department.
The day went smoothly after that. They joked and talked. Mima's sister even brought lunch for all of them and they went out to the park to eat it. When it became late, Momoka's husband came and picked them up to go home. His appearance was very sudden.
"Dad!" Ricchan ran towards her father
He embraced her with open arms in greeting. He waved at his wife and brother in-law before setting his eyes on Hayate.
"You must be Takayuki's boyfriend. It is nice to meet you." He shook his hand.
"Oh yes, pleased to meet you too!"
"It's getting late and we should get home. I'd like to talk to you again soon though."
Hayate nods smiling, the idea of getting to know more of his boyfriend's family elated him.
As the night approaches, the family leaves. They wave goodbye through their car windows as Ricchan screamed "bye bye" loudly. When they were no longer in view, Mima grabs Hayate's hand.
"How was today?"
"It was.. nice. Meeting your sister ended up going really well."
"We have been dating for at least 3 years Hayate-kun. It's only some sort of magic you havent met her at all."
Hayate chuckled at that. They walked home from the park hand in hand. A comfortable silence peeks in between them as the sky grew darker and darker.
They reach the building and went up with the elevator. Their hands are still entwined as they reach their floor.
After going inside, Mima immediately offers Hayate the bathroom first to which the latter wanted to refuse.
"It's okay, I want to do something real quick either way. You should shower first."
"Alright.. if you say so, Takayuki-san."
Hayate turned to prepare his bath when his voice gets called again by Mima who was halfway through in his bedrom.
"Hayate-kun, would you like to join me in bed tonight?"
