Kurashi didn’t know why he, and not one of the girls, has been chosen for the arranged marriage that was supposed to conjoin both Yanagisawa and Orihara families. Maybe it was an attempt made by the families to appear modern. Maybe it was just meant to humiliate him. Or maybe his future husband was simply gay.
For all he knew, Izaya Orihara, however, had just as little power over the affair as he himself. They met officially the same day; already engaged and with the date of their wedding planned; and however handsome the raven was and however politely he spoke to him, Kurashi couldn’t help but feel somewhat nervous and miserable.
It was all happening so fast...
Presently, they have been left alone, to get to know each other better, presumably. Kurashi asked a few questions; and Izaya answered each and every one of them the best he could, and it seemed he wished for Kurashi to be happy in their arrangement. It was better than what Chie got, at least, the raven thought with a weak smile.
“No, I did not mean it to sound this way, Ori- Izaya-san.” getting used to using his first name will be a challenge, too. “It is a beautiful house...” he looked around. It was beautiful, in a way. But it also looked cold, and unwelcoming to the artist. Like an office, not a place one wanted to go home to.
“I am simply... accustomed to traditional housing. I will easily get used to it here, so there isn’t any need to change anything.”
