Work Text:

"Susato, I do not know anything about flowers. What should I give him?" Naruhodou did not know anything about flowers and Susato was his only option. Well, he could ask professor Mikotoba but he did not want to ask him for advice on winning over his son. Now that he thinks about it, maybe he should have asked Haori. She would be less likely to tease him.

Susato wasn't sure why she was the one he chose to pick out flowers for her brother but she knew Naruhodou, and she knew he could not do this on his own. "Consider going for pink alstroemeria. They are perfect for the both of you!"

"Are you sure? What if he doesn't like them? I have never heard him say he likes pink." He was starting to panic, what if he did not like them?

In response to that, Susato used her wings to hit his shell. This was one of the few times Naruhodou was glad to be a snail. He despised being slow but it was nice to not get a wing smacked in his face, a reliable source told him it hurts. "You worry too much, Naruhodou. Kazuma will treasure anything as long as it is you giving it to him."

"You're right. Thank you, Susato." Asougi had told him so before. He still wanted to make it special but if it did not go as planned, he knew Asougi would still love him.

"Susato! Did Ryuu tell you why he wanted to meet me this early? He tells you everything, does he not?"

"Of course he has told me. But I won't be telling you about that. Stop worrying yourself and get ready, do you really want to keep him waiting?" She flapped her wings, creating a strong gust of wind, enough to make Asougi move forward a bit.

He turned back to her, but before he could say more, Yuujin interrupted them. "Come now, Susato. There is no need to tease your brother any further. I'm sure he already has enough to worry about with Naruhodou's sudden invitation."

"If you know about his plans, please tell me, father." Asougi did not like the fact that his father and sister both knew why Naruhodou wanted to meet with him. Or that they refused to tell him.

"Kazuma, you do not have anything to worry about. I assure you. You should go now, you do not want to be late."

Having his family reassure him made Asougi feel a bit calmer. He thanked them before opening a window and flying out. He smiled at the thought of his family supporting them but none of that stopped him from being nervous completely. Asougi could at least look forward to seeing Naruhodou again. Just by getting to see him, this meeting would already be perfect.
