-------------------------------
You had just stepped through the terminal after a long flight to Japan. You stretched your limbs after being confined in that tiny space for hours, flying is fun but it could get tiring.
"Finally here Mom, I'm going to make you proud." You mumbled to yourself with determination.
You went and gathered your luggage after waiting in line for God knows how long and finally made it to the outside. The airports in Japan was so different from America, it's actually the first time you stepped in one after quite a while.
'I wonder how Dad will react when he sees me.' You thought. You loved your dad, but he's one of those clingy type of fathers that love to embarrass and gush over their daughters. It's also been 7 years since he moved back to Japan and let you live with your aunt in America. So he basically might freak out in a public place. You looked around the group of people, but saw no sign of your father anywhere.
"(Y/N)!" You heard your name called by a familiar voice. You turned around and saw your father waving wildly and holding a sign with your name on it. It was also decorated with hearts and glitter and the way he was acting attracted the attention of the people around him.
"Oh. My. God." You said and then covered your face in embarrassment.
"What the hell is that sign?!" You exclaimed once the sign came into view.
You reluctantly walked up to him and he engulfed you in a bear hug, squeezing the life out of you.
"Oh! It's been so long! I missed you so much!" He exclaimed loudly in a baby voice.
"Dad please control yourself we're in public!" You wheezed out and started blushing immensely. He let go and scratched his cheek.
"Sorry, it's just been so long since I've seen my little cuddle bug." He gushed again in his baby voice and pinched your blushing cheeks. Cuddle bug was the nickname he came up with since you used to cuddle with him a lot when you were younger.
"Dad!" You whined and rubbed your cheeks.
"Sorry, sorry." He apologized.
"I swear you're worse than auntie." You commented.
"So how was your flight?" He asked.
"Long. I think I have jet lag now." You said and stretched again.
"Well how about we get you to your new living space and talk more there." He suggested.
"Yes please." You agreed enthusiastically. You're father took your luggage and you followed him to wherever he was taking you.
-----------------------------
You took in the sights around you from your Dad's car window. There were so many big buildings, much different than being stuck on a college campus in the rural side. He finally stopped on the side of the street right next to a small, traditional Japanese house. The house was so small that you could easily distinguish it from the huge buildings.
"This scene reminds me of Death of Salesman." You remarked quietly.
"We're here!~" Your dad announced in a sing song voice.
"Really?" You asked.
"Yes, you'll be staying in this household here." He said.
"I thought you said you would get me an apartment?!" You yelled at your father.
"We'll go inside and I'll explain." He said. You sighed a little irritated but followed him anyway. Your dad rung the doorbell and three seconds later an old man and woman appeared at the door.
"Hello Matsuno-san, here she is." Your dad said and presented you with the Will Smith pose (go on Tumblr and you'll know what that is). You erased the scowl you had on your face and tried hard not to facepalm at your father's behavior.
"Hello, my name is (L/N) (Y/N) it's nice to meet you." You introduced yourself politely. Even though you've been in America all your life, you never lost touch with the customs of Japan; thank your family for that.
"You must be (Y/N) that (L/N)-san always mentions. Come in and don't be shy." The man named Matsuno said. You reluctantly went inside and followed the three to a room, you sat down on your knees and saw Matsuno-san's wife bring in tea.
"So my dad mentioned that I would be staying here. That's ok with you?" You asked Matsuno-san hesitantly. He nodded whole-heartedly.
"We've already discussed this yesterday." Matsuno-san said.
You looked at your dad and he rubbed the back of his head.
"Yes baby, finishing your education costed a lot so now I've got to work hard to fill in that debt. I don't have enough to afford your own apartment." Your father said. You got a guilty feeling in your stomach from his explanation. Why does college have to cost so much money?
"Can't I live in your house?" You asked.
"I would, but to get extra money I have people living in there for rent and I already have to leave for a business trip in 2 days." He said sadly.
"I come after such a long time and now you're leaving?" You choked out, you didn't want to cry considering that there were witnesses, but this is seriously so sad right now. You took a deep breath and decided to suck it up.
"Alright, but I still feel kind of like I'm imposing." You said.
"You're not imposing at all (L/N)-chan, I'm sure the boys will be more than happy to meet with you as well." Matsuno-san's wife said.
"Boys?" You asked.
"My sons, they are sextuplets." Matsuno-san explained.
"Sextuplets?!" You exclaimed. Sure you lived in a co-ed dorm during your senior year, but that was just one guy, and your assigned roommate was gay too. So basically you're now stuck living with 6 guys, that's either luck, a curse, or both.
"They're not that bad, they're just NEETS who have trouble finding jobs." Matsuno-san's wife said.
'Why does that sentence have a really insulting tone to it?' You thought.
"Where are your sons?" Your father asked.
"They went out so they are not here." Matsuno-san said.
"You had better get yourself settled down. We have an extra room set up for you. (Let's just say that for now, I don't know how big their house is)." Matsuno-san's wife said.
"Oh ok thank you." You said and bowed.
"I'll get your luggage for you." Your father said.
"Careful with my backpack, mom's in there." You warned and he nodded. You stood up and decided to explore the house a bit. It was a nice house actually, you found one room that you assumed belonged to the brothers so you didn't enter.
"Now all I need to do is find a job, get money, save money, and finally build a restaurant." You said to yourself, and nodded in determination.
"All luggage is inside." Your father told you.
"Ah, thank you." You said and smiled.
"Alright, now that your settled I'm going to start packing for the trip." Your father said.
"Don't overwork yourself, remember you have high blood pressure." You said worriedly.
"Not to worry cuddle bug, I've worked harder than this when you were younger." He said and showed a grin.
'I don't remember you doing any work when I was younger.' You deadpanned in your head. He ruffled your hair and you then hugged him.
"Bye Dad." You said.
"One more thing, if any of those boys try anything just call and your father will beat them to death." Your dad said and had a scary aura, which made you sweatdrop. You finally pushed your father out of the door and sighed heavily.
"Your father is so caring of you." Matsuno-san's wife commented.
"Yeah, I love him, but he can get a little over the top." You said.
"But he's been like that since my mom passed so..." You trailed off as if going into thought.
"(L/N)-chan?" Matsuno-san's wife asked concerned.
"Oh? Ahaha, it's nothing. It's just jet lag." You said nonchalantly. You then stretched and groaned.
"I'm probably going to take a nap, is that's alright with you obaa-san?" You asked.
"Go right ahead, the futon's in the closet." She said and showed a warm smile. You bowed and went into the guest room. You got the futon out and set up; finally you plopped onto it and fell asleep instantly.
A/N: Thus ends chapter one, I hope I did well. I feel like I made Reader-chan a combination of Tohru from Fruits Basket and Tiana from the Princess and the Frog, eh I like both characters so I don't think it matters. I'm sorry that the boys didn't appear in this chapter, but this and the prologue are more of the introduction chapters. Don't worry they will have a lot more action in the next one.
