Winter is better than summer [Closed @ Hiyori]

[nakedice]

[Gray had a little trouble believing that a girl who was younger than him would know how to be a parent when they didn’t get along with their own parent in life but maybe he could play along for the sake of a peaceful relationship between the two.]

Well, I’m not so sure about the whole being a father thing just yet… but I guess I could use some tips.

[Since they would have to get to know each other, what better moment to start doing that than now? That’s what the ice mage thought and decided that he might as well do that right away.]

Oh right, Robin and I are apparently from different worlds so I guess I should ask from where do you come from and what was your world like. Maybe that’s a good topic to start with.

[heatdazing]

He clearly had already established some kind of trust with her, which was a pretty decent start in her opinion. However, trust alone wasn't going to get her very far in terms of becoming the most idolized thing in his life. Talking about where she came from was the perfect opportunity to court his sympathy and pity, not that she came from a bad place or anything. She considered telling him the tragedy of that certain day, but that was too personal and the scars were still too fresh. If anything it would scare him.

"Oh, my hometown," She began tapping a finger against her chin, "Well... I didn't exactly live in a single place. During the school year I lived in the countryside with my parents. They were pretty old, so they didn't really understand me very well... I think they loved me though. But..." She puffed out her bottom lip in a pout, "During breaks, they sent me to my brother-in-law's house in the city... But he wasn't home very much, it was kind of scary going to such a big place by myself. I don't know why my parents did that... Did they not want me around or something..? Was I just a burden to them...?"

Expertly, she whipped up some tears. Not enough to begin a full-hearted sob, but just enough to make her eyes a bt watery. She shook her head and looked up at Gray with an apologetic smile, "Sorry, I got a little carried away there. Enough about me! Where are you from?"

[solotheory]

blood is thicker than water..

[solotheory]

Of course, she wasn’t expecting this of all things. The outburst of a young child towards her, completely was she baffled and couldn’t believe that they were blood. Even Ayano, staring at the other in such a look that she only stared and was silent. The other was more vocal than her, the female trying to put everything together. Having said that Ayaka was her mother had brought upon something that she was, truthfully, bamboozled about herself “Aunt?” The rundown of how she’s never seen a picture of her in her entire life nor a lick of her existence.

"My aunt.." Again it was said as she tried to look at the age of the other and then connect it to the age of her mother, Ayano was pretty sure that her mother’s age to her parents age.. There was no way they had another kid, right? "Auntie..?" One could tell that she was taking this all in as she stared down, black optics wondering if this was even correct. “But.. how.. I?” How old was the other, that was a bit questioning.

"Family?" This was getting harder and harder by the moment, "Is this.. really .. real?" Her parents have spoken nothing, she heard nothing about the other in her life. Why didn’t her mother ever say a thing? Why was this hidden from her? "Mom passed away a long time ago, so .. she never got to tell me about you, I never knew I had an aunt? I have.. an aunt." The words recycled over and over again, taking in the fact this was a blood relative before her.

"You’re my aunt? I have an aunt..!” She had family, blood family who held the same blood type as her. They were family. They were related but she was confused as to why this had been hidden? "My.. aunt. I never had an aunt before— well, you’re my aunt? But.. I never knew!? I have an aunt all to myself!?"

[heatdazing]

Ayano kept murmuring things to herself, no doubt she was as surprised as Hiyori about this news. She was probably still trying to let it sink in.  Though it was very peculiar that neither of them had ever even heard about the other before. Even if Hiyori's parents had shunned Ayaka and her family, they had to have known when she had a kid right? That's not something most grandparents would choose to ignore. But the fact that Ayano never heard of Hiyori was easier to believe- after all Ayaka had probably never been informed about her birth. 

"I don't think she even knew about me," She sighed, a little calmer now that the initial shock has passed, "I think she probably died not knowing she had a sister."

Hiyori kind of regretted that. It wasn't her fault that her parents and Ayaka never spoke to each other, why did she have to pay for it too? She would've liked to have had the chance to at least speak to her sister once. She'd grown up distant from her parents, and only one decent friend to speak of. Heck, Kenjirou could've at least mentioned something. No, she'd grown up rather lonely, but she hadn't noticed just how lonely until now. At least it seemed that fate had given her another chance!

"I have .... a niece all to myself then!" Hiyori echoed with a smile, "I have a niece! I have a cute niece!" Without much thought, she threw her arms around the other girl. Finally, she didn't have to be lonely anymore! Finally she'd found someone who would really understand her!

She’d getting along fine with her new parents! Robin seems like she’ll be a pretty relaxed mother once she overcomes her worries of course! Gray is nice, but he is a sucker. She is going to exploit Gray Fullbuster and he doesn’t even realize it. She feels just a little bit guilty, but in her mind, it’s all okay. Hiyori Asahina did nothing wrong! 

✥

previously answered again but yeah!

She does miss her family. Not too terribly though, especially since her new one has treated her well thus far. Not to mention that she’s found a family member she never even knew she had until now! (winks at my cute niece) No, she’s pretty happy with her new parents and she’d excited to bond with Ayano!

She was … kind of in a relationship? If a pet-and-owner like friendship counts as a relationship, it was still the best one she had. She’s finding it a little difficult to let go of though. She was pretty rotten to Hibiya, but he put up with it constantly and she appreciated that. Not to mention that she owes him a lot for … yknow… even if she perished anyway, the lengths he went to just to try and save her was enough. She never really noticed until now, but she’s pretty lonely without him always following so closely behind her.

✰!

She’s… ok with her new apartment. She’s used to having a little more space to herself, and she’s not too crazy about sharing a single apartment with two other people. She prefers to have entire houses to herself so she can do as she pleases. Plus, she’s a pretty messy person, and she can’t carelessly throw stuff around an apartment without the untidiness becoming bothersome. She wants to trash the place as she pleases, basically.

Hiyori is adjusting fairly well actually! In the beginning she wasn’t to happy about coming, but she’s been adopted into a nice family and she’s already on the verge of making some new friends! Of course she still misses her old home, but that’s to be expected. As for the government… well she’d twelve, so she doesn’t really think much of them. She does hold a tiny grudge against them for making her restart her life though.

☁

She doesn’t necessarily enjoy it per se, but she doesn’t hate it either. She did at first, but as time goes on she’s gradually becoming more comfortable with it. In Hiyori’s old home, she alternated between living on the countryside and living in the city, so she’d pretty adaptable. She thinks her old home was probably more crowded, but this place seems clean and cozy enough to satisfy her.

blood is thicker than water..

[solotheory]

Noticing how the other just stared at her person, as if she was analyzing and searching for something. She puffed up her chest and gave a warm smile towards Hiyori, wondering if there was something wrong. A tilt of her head as she stared down at the female who seemed to be in deep though, black optics looking from her and the surroundings. Maybe the female could not contain her excitement which she couldn’t even keep in herself. "Yes, I’m a Tateyama." A nod as she listened to her inquire about her father, though as she was ready to speak, Ayano fell speechless.

Practically trying to understand what just happened, a confused look fell upon Ayano’s face. “That’s..” Trailing off, not knowing what she was to say. Her.. brother in law? She had never heard anything about that in her years of living, though her father became more secretive once her mother died. A type of aura possessing him which only bothered her since he was so trapped within his research. That could have been why he never stated anything but, even her mother had said nothing either.

"He’s my.. Father." She whispered, looking at the other who seemed to be as taken aback as she was. “My mother.. Her name was Ayaka.” Maybe it was just a coincidence and maybe her father just had more affiliations with other people that she didn’t know about. Though, thinking wrongly like that was only rude of her as she shook her head, maybe it was just funny.. coincidental.

Shaking her head, “No! I didn’t waste my money..! Helping you was enough to bring me happiness. He’ll come back soon, I know of it. Uhm.. is he a brother of yours. is he.. related to the Tateyama name… Uhm.” Looking down towards the floor, this was rather.. something she didn’t expect.

[heatdazing]

So Hiyori hadn't misheard her after all! But hold on, she said Kenjirou was her father? Of all the ways she suspected they would have been related, that was definitely something she hadn't been expecting. At the mention of Ayaka, her eyes grew wide and her jaw dropped. 

"Y-yes! My big sisters name was Ayaka! But then.... if Kenjirou is your dad... and Ayaka was your mom... then, that can only mean..." Her voice faded as the realization slowly came to her.

"Y-You're my niece?!" 

While she did bear a staggering resemblance to Ayaka, Hiyori found it difficult to believe. Surely her parents would have mentioned their grandchild at some point, right? But then again, they hardly ever mentioned Ayaka, much less any children she might have had since she'd run away. They'd never even permitted the two of them to meet face to face until the funeral. Nevertheless, it was completely crazy to think that the girl who'd helped her buy a gift for a friend would turn out to be someone so close to her!

"I can't believe Kenjirou never mentioned you!" She exclaimed, still trying to wrap her head around it, "I mean, I've been over to his house so many times but I've never even seen pictures of you! I can't believe I have a niece! I can't believe I'm an aunt!"

She continued to ramble in shock, but the more she did, the more fond of the idea she became. In the midst of all this reestablishing of her life, and gaining new adopted parents she'd managed to find someone she was actually related to by blood. They had so much to catch up on too, seeing as how they'd managed to go their whole lives without ever being aware of the others existence... This could actually be fun!

Winter is better than summer [Closed @ Hiyori]

[nakedice]

[The girl seemed nice enough to him to lower his guard around but her words made him feel a bit uneasy because he wasn’t sure how to reply to that. He couldn’t grow up with his dad because he was killed when he was young and he merely survived by chance so when people can’t be close to their parents it made him feel as if they weren’t cherishing them enough but he knew everyone had their own circumstances and he couldn’t meddle on that too much.]

You don’t have to be sorry. It’s just that I grew up without a father myself so I’m not sure how to act as one and it’s more comfortable for me if we could be friends instead so feel free to rely on me whenever you need help. I can do that at the very least.

[He might not be a father figure but he was given the responsibility of taking care of her so he had to at least help with the most basic of things he thought.]

[heatdazing]

So he was completely clueless as to how fathers behaved towards daughters? Perfect! She had before her a blank slate, and it was her to fill with whatever she pleased! Admittedly, she did feel just a tad guilty for taking advantage of his tragic past. But if she would be able to convince him that her happiness was the most important thing, and he was able to succeed in giving her that, then he would be happy too, right? It was definitely a win-win situation no matter which way she looked at it!

"Yknow, I could totally teach you how to be a good father," she said in a sugarcoated tone, "Even of you only want to be considered a friend, it would still be helpful for if you end up with a real kid of your own someday, wouldn't it? You can consider this my way of repaying you for taking care of me!"

He was practically putty in her hands at this point. No doubt they'd both end up being closer than ever, but really this was all her design. Honestly, she even impressed herself sometimes. 

[gxleforce]

Who is taking care of who? || Closed @ Hiyori

[gxleforce]

  "Hm — ?" At the new voice, Robin had been pulled from her thoughts, craned her neck and vague recognition reached her eyes. This must have been her…daughter.  Gods, the word alone in this context was left to be desired. Was it possible to get used to this?

But the mage smiled politely despite her reluctance. She’d have to set that aside for now. “You’re in the right place, yes, forgive me for I was lost in heavy contemplation.” The young woman turned to face her fully now, clasping her hands in front of her as she…had no idea how modern people greeted each other. For all she knew Hiyori could have been a princess in her time and span of space; and so, with little grace to be had, Robin dipped into a brief curtsy. 

But it was safe to say that the action didn’t register. No. Nope, they definitely could have both lived without that. Way to go.

Robin closed her eyes and let out a weary sigh, shaking her head. “I’m Robin.” She, finally, introduced. “Good to meet you, Hiyori. If there is something else you would like me to address you as, that’s absolutely fine. The customs of modern folk like yourself are still very lost on me.”

[heatdazing]

If nothing else, this woman was incredibly polite- almost overly so. As Robin fell into her curtsy Hiyori was... surprised to say the least. How exactly was she supposed to react to that? She wanted to say that it was unnecessary, but that seemed pretty obvious already judging by the shame that was now showing so plainly on the others face. She'd already guessed this based on her clothing, but now Hiyori was fairly certain that wherever Robin had come from... wasn't very up to date with the world they were now living in.

"Uh, just Hiyori is fine," she said, now feeling sufficiently uncomfortable. Maybe she'd just caught her on a bad day, but Robin looked pretty tired. She almost felt bad for her care-taker.

"You seem... kinda stressed. I really hope it's not because of me. There's really no reason to worry, I don't think I'm a troublesome kid." She was trying to reassure her, but it sounded more like she was trying to parent Robin instead. "So um... what should I call you? Is Robin fine or ... 'Mom' or whatever..."

blood is thicker than water..

[solotheory]

  She thought the gesture was best after all, according to her, this was something she would rather do. Having done that, she felt nothing but helpful and this brought her so much glee. Being thanked, Ayano only gave a nod towards her as they were now in front of one another. Seeing the other cheerful because of this, she was truly ecstatic to see the female in such a happy mood. Almost ready to go wherever the other was willing to go, she was surprised for the introductions. Not like they were a bad thing but, she believed that this way, they would truly get to know each other.

"Mostly my fault, I should have said something first!" A shake of her head, “That’s a pretty name. My name is Ayano Tateyama, it’s a pleasure to meet you and help pick something for your friend.” Whoever they were, she was hoping that they enjoyed it. It was truly something she wanted to make happen. Even if it was done indirectly. The keychains were the cutest things she has ever saw and helping someone who was only a stranger to her seemed to make everything so much perfect.

"You don’t look stupid at all. You look.. happy." Happiness, that was all that mattered to her. Just seeing someone happy, even if it was a selfish request, as much as Ayano struggled to be the same way as everyone else. But at this moment, she felt calm and at ease, the reason was lost upon her but she believed this to be soothing. For some reason, she didn’t want this to stop at all. This way, it felt like she would always be fine.

"As long as you’re happy, I’m happy. But is your friend here, I wouldn’t want you to keep them waiting."

[heatdazing]

Wait a minute, did Hiyori hear her right? She said 'Tateyama'... didn't she? What a coincidence that she would have the same surname as her brother-in-law back home! She eyed the other girl curiously, skimming her up and down for any sort of resemblance between her and her relative. She couldn't really find any obvious traits, however... Ayano did resemble someone else in Hiyori's family. She'd only seen her once and that was when she'd been laying in a casket, but if memory served her well, Ayano was the spitting image of Hiyori's older sister. It would definitely explain the last name but... wasn't the idea of her meeting a long lost family member here just a little far-fetched? Still, it probably wouldn't hurt to ask...

"Tateyama, huh? You, uh, wouldn't happen to be related to a guy named Kenjirou Tateyama would you?" She asked, feeling a little bit guilty for trying to pry, "You see, he's my brother-in-law."

At the mention of her friend, Hiyori couldn't help but feel a bit lonely. Right, Ayano had bought her that gift for her to give to him when he wasn't even here. She'd had this elaborate vision in her mind of how he'd react upon receiving it only to be reminded that they may never meet again and she could never have that chance.

"Uh, actually," She said, looking away and toying with a lock of hair, "He isn't here. I don't really know where he is or when I'll get to see him again... I apologize, you probably wasted your money."
