140New Things
a shiki and rima fan fiction
No lemons in this chapter, but there are mentions of it.
I know, I know. It's been forever again. But by now, are you guys really surprised?
To be honest, I've lost interest in VK, but I felt like finishing it so I don't regret anything, you know? I'm not too proud of this story either… But I started this a long time ago and I've grown up. So here's the last chapter of 'New Things'! Hope you like it~
disclaimer: I do not own VK...
"So why don't you tell me some stuff about yourselves?" Shiki asked, looking at the two six-year olds on the other side of the booth.
He decided that the best place to have their first 'family dinner' (if you could really call them a family) was at a casual family-friendly burger joint. If they went somewhere fancy, surely Rima would've loved it. She loved those kinds of things. But these kids would probably judge him and think he was just some rich guy trying to get in their mom's pants. Okay, so maybe he was but…
"I'm Risa."
"I'm Shiro."
They both said it at the same time, then looked at each other and giggled. The two looked at Shiki intently, their light blue eyes shining with amusement. It was so weird. This guy, their mom's 'friend', was sitting in front of them. They looked exactly like him as well.
"Risa and Shiro are identical twins," Rima started. Shiki glanced at her and sighed at how amazingly beautiful she looked. He just wanted to plant kisses all over her face… and other places. Okay, so he was a softie when it came to things like this… Could you blame him?
"Yeah, but I'm the smarter one," the girl, Risa, stated proudly. Shiki couldn't help but grin at that.
"H-hey! That's not true!" Shiro retorted, turning red. Looking at Shiki, he exclaimed, "I-it's 'cause…" He paused, trying to think of a reason.
"Save it," his sister said bluntly.
Shiki and Rima couldn't help but laugh at the exchange between the twins. A few people at the restaurant looked over, but no one minded. The burger joint was pretty loud, with the music over the speakers and the many families spending quality time with one another.
Their food came and they ate. Shiki learned many new things about the kids. Turns out Risa is the more studious twin. She was more into watching educational shows and baking. Shiro was more into watching cartoons that had no plot what so ever and playing first person shooting games on his Xbox.
"We should swap gamer tags so we can do a match against each other in CoD," Shiki said to his son… His son, that was weird to say. Shiro beamed.
"R-really? You play? That is so… COOL!" Shiro exclaimed, nearly spilling his soda.
Rima rolled her eyes. She really didn't approve of Shiro's mature video games, but it kept him occupied when she had to work late hours. Back when her and Shiki were in high school, he would blow her off sometimes just so he could play. Some friend…
"You know, Shiro. This guy," Rima said, pointing at Shiki. "Would ditch me at the mall just to play video games back when we were in high school."
Shiki smirked at her when she brought up some old memories. "Aw don't be like that." He nudged her in the side with his elbow.
After a little more small talk, they finished their meals and ordered desserts. Once their table was cleared, there was an odd silence that filled their party.
"Mom…" the twins said simultaneously. "Shiki…"
"Yeah?"
They both turned to look at Shiki through their eyelashes. "A-are you our… dad?"
Shiki turned to look at Rima, trying to find any signs of approval on her face. Softly smiling, she looked at the twins and nodded.
"Yeah… I'm your dad," he said softly, a small smile creeping up on his face.
"R-really? That's so great! I can't believe it! We finally have a daddy~" Risa said happily, her hands clapped together.
"It's not great!" Shiro exclaimed. The three others at the table turned to look at him shocked. It seemed like Shiro liked Shiki so much… "It's not great… It's so COOL. Who knew our dad was gonna be so COOL! It's kind of a surprise that mom kept you a secret from us!"
Shiki leaned back in his seat and gave out a sigh of relief.
Once back at Ruka and Kain's house, he knelt down on his knees and gave Risa and Shiro a hug. "Night guys. I'll see you around."
"Y-you're not gonna stay with us?"
Rima looked at him too, anticipating his answer. If Shiki stayed the night with them, she probably wouldn't get any sleep. At all. And she was really tired right now.
Shiki shook his head, "I can't. Sorry. I have work tomorrow." He then saw the fear in the twins' eyes. "I'm not leaving you guys anymore though. I'm in your life now. Don't worry," he explained with a smile.
When the twins were finally done saying goodbye to him, they headed inside, leaving their parents out on the porch.
"Thanks for today," the blonde said with a smirk on her face. Today turned out a whole lot better than she imagined.
Stepping a little closer to her, Shiki nodded and smiled. "It went a lot better than we expected…" He stopped to think of what to say. "So what now?" He asked. He needed to know… Were they going to be an item now? Or were they just going to keep doing… this. Whatever 'this' was…
Rima shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know…" she replied honestly. "Can we… just be friends again? Then maybe in the future we can try… whatever."
To say he was disappointed was pure honesty. He was hoping that Rima would want to go... straight in. But if this is what she wanted, then he would respect her decision. Only time would tell where this relationship was headed.
"Okay." He managed to say. Looking at her, he couldn't help but sigh again as he admired her beauty. The way her blonde hair fell around her shoulders, how her pale skin glowed from the porch's light, her bright blue eye, and her soft pink lips… How he wanted to kiss her so bad… But if she just wanted to be friends for now, then he would follow her. So instead, he gave her a hug. An awkward hug.
From the corner of his eye, he was Risa and Shiro looking through the window disappointed. He smiled softly at them and let go of Rima. "See you tomorrow?"
2 years later…
(Shiki's POV)
Three months after the day we told the twins that I was their dad, I asked Rima to be my girlfriend. She said no.
Two months after that day she rejected me, I asked her out again. She said no. Again.
Three more months later, I asked her out. At this point, I already knew she was going to say no but Risa and Shiro convinced me to go for it again. "After all, third time's a charm," they both said at the same time. And guess what? They were right. She said yes.
"On one condition," she said after I tackled her lips with mine.
"And what is that?"
"Marry me."
So that wasn't exactly how I wanted to get engaged. I wanted to take her out and treat her like the princess she deserved to be treated. I wanted to get down on one knee and proclaim my love for her, and ask to her the spend the rest of her life with me.
But that way works too.
After five months of being engaged we got married. It was a big wedding. I'm not going to lie. Our parents were both in charge of the guest list, but other than the many people we didn't recognize, it was a great wedding.
We honeymooned in Hawaii. The first two weeks we were there, we had sex. A lot. I didn't know it was possible to do it so many times in so many different ways in so many different locations. You name a spot, we did it there. That's what you call a honeymoon. The third week in Hawaii, we had the twins come over and we turned it into a family vacation. It was fun. And by then, I really got used to them calling me 'dad.'
The month we got back from Hawaii… I guess it was inevitable. Rima found out she was pregnant. And I was determined to be with her every step of the way this time.
The next nine months were hard. Rima cursed at me all the time. Then when she went into labor, she cursed me for getting her pregnant and vowed never to sleep with me ever again. Well she lied, and slept with me right when we got home. She has got a lot in her... No pun intended.
Mahiro looked exactly like Rima. He was a wonderful baby boy. He rarely cried and he smiled and laughed often. Shiro was jealous at first, not being the only son anymore. But he slowly warmed up to Mahiro. Risa was the perfect big sister as she always helped out when she could.
So that leaves us to today…
We all live in my house now. Well, I guess you could call it 'our house.' When they moved in, my normally empty and lonely house became so warm and felt more like home.
Risa and Shiro are eight years old now. They transferred to a school here in Tokyo. They're still the same as when I first met them. Shiro kicks my butt when we play CoD and Risa tried to get me to bake a cake with her.. Shiro's starting to look like the splitting image of me. Risa's hair is down to her back now, and she still looks like me, but she is taking some of Rima's features. I… I don't even want to think about the boys that are going to be thinking of pursuing my baby girl in the future.
Mahiro is two months old. He's blonde, like Rima, with the same shade of blue eyes as mine. He's so cute, and I swear that I'll be by him every step of the way.
Rima… How do I even begin to explain Rima? She's still the same beautiful woman I fell in love with. She's still smart and witty. She can be a bitch sometimes, but hey, that's part of why we love her, right? She's a great mom. Sometimes she's impatient, but in the end, she can never say no to our kids. We're in love. I can't explain the feelings I get when he says my name… When we make love at night when the kids are asleep. She's the best thing that's ever been mine.
I fell in love with my best friend. She's my everything. She's given me three beautiful kids and I couldn't ask for more than all the love she showers me with.
I'm a lot different from the Shiki I was in high school. And I'd like to believe that I've changed for the best. Who knew, huh?
Well, I guess it's time to wrap it up here.
And that's when we lived Happily Ever After…
The End
Phew! It's over, you guys!
I want to say thank you to everyone.
Thank you for reading. I'm glad I got to share something like this with you guys.
I know I'm not the best updater. And I most definitely was not the best writer when I started this.
I'm a bit embarrassed to reread a bunch of the previous chapters, but I'd like to think that my writing has improved since then.
I really like how and where I ended this story. So I hope you like it too!
I don't know if I'll keep writing fan fiction. I mean, I've grown up a lot.
I still love anime and manga but you know…
We'll see where the future takes us.. (:
Thank you again for reading and reviewing~
I love you guys!
