For once, it was Seishiro's turn to feel awkward. He hadn't really thought Hi would bring something like that up around anyone, much less her boyfriend. The unexpectedness of her sharing that caught him a little off-guard. However, the look on Fred's face was purely of amusement, so the feelings died quickly.
"Wow. He did that to you too?" The Brit gave a throaty chuckle.
"That's how I make all my friends, dear Fredrick," his far more sparkly clanmate chimed. "That or with alcohol."

Hi smiled, "It's seems he does meet his friends that way." She laughed, looking at the gravestones. A lot of thoughts were going through her head. Memories, good and bad, jumbled together, racing through her mind all at once.
Small tears were in her eyes, she shook her head and wiped them quickly. She smiled, "Since I've shared some memories, why don't you share too, biscuit." She was speaking to Fred, it would be nice to hear some stories from him. Plus, she really didn't want to cry, she hated crying, especially in front of other people. If she shared anymore memories, she might just start sobbing.

"Ah..." The Brit paused and scratched his chin awkwardly. While these two were sharing a history that went back more than a decade, Fred was a relatively newer person to both of them. Grant it, he'd known Seishy for quite awhile, but whatever the Tora did around him, Hi probably knew about already.
"I dunno," he said at last with a shrug. "What do you want to hear about?"

Hi put a finger on her chin, thinking, "How about..." She paused, "When you first met Seishy." She smiled, "That must have been interesting." Seishy flirted with everyone and anyone, even Hi, when they were younger of course. But after that, they were like brother and sister. Of course Hi wanted to hear how Fred and Seishy met, she wanted to know everything about her boyfriend.

"Well... that's a pretty simple story." Fred laughed lightly. "He walked in acting like 'e owned the place, even though he was just a kid." He shook his head with a soft grin. "So I wasn't all that surprised when this same kid started flirting with me. However, when he was really persistent about," he coughed, "trying to get in my pants I was taken a little off-guard."
"And I failed every single time," the Brit's clanmate sighed. Fred rolled his eyes and continued.
"Anyway, so I gave him some drinks and sent him on his way. Didn't really think he'd get completely smashed. It took awhile though," he nodded to Hi. "You've seen this kid's tolerance. It's insane. But I still ended up driving him home."
"And thus our beautiful friendship was born!" Seishiro chimed with a laugh.

Hi smiled, "That sounds exactly like you, Seishy." She paused, "It's funny how we're complete opposites. You have amazing alcohol tolerance, while I'm under the table by my first drink." She laughed and turned to Fred, "And that's how we met, now that I think about it." She smiled at the memory.

"More or less," Fred replied with a nod. The memory of the night, months ago, still made him smile. Who would have ever thought he would end up dating that same girl not that long afterwards? Especially considering the Brit's usual adversion to relationships.
"Doesn't take much to out-drink you, Hun," Seishiro agreed, poking Hi teasingly.

Hi rolled her eyes, "Just because I haven't been drinking since I was fifteen, mister, doesn't mean that I can't handle it. I just drink a lot strong alcohol at once." She smiled, slapping his wrist lightly to get him to stop poking her. She put a finger on her chin, "Although, if it gets me stuck with some hot guys," She winked at them, "It might not be so bad." She laughed, she had that thought before when she got stuck with Fred the first night they met. She smiled at the memory.

"Wow, quite the player aren't you, darling?" Seishiro laughed obnoxiously. Fred, in response, punched him in the arm. The younger man winced, rubbing the sore spot vigrously.
"Oh, come off it Seishy, I didn't hit you that hard!" the Brit chided.
"You've bruised my beautiful skin! I'm ruined!" Seishiro collapsed in a dramatic heap. "RUINED!"

Hi laughed, "Yes, of course, your ruined. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to leave you here..." She looked at the graves, her sentence dying off into silence. She had almost forgotten where she was. They looked pretty, the marble stones, in the sun light. She stared at them, tears coming in her eyes, she shook her head, getting out of her trance.
"Sorry," Hi said, "I was spacing out." She wiped her tears quickly with the tissue, she really missed them. All the things that her parents wouldn't be there for. Her wedding, her first child, birthdays, holidays, she wanted them here. She then thought of Seishy, his incident nine months ago, the bruises. Would he end up here? She didn't know, and she didn't want to find out. He was the only family she had left.

Fred gently tilted Hi's head so that it was resting on his shoulder, his arm then snaking around her own. He pressed his lips comfortingly to the top of her head, rubbing her upper arm comfortingly. He knew she was in a delicate state of mind right now; she was upset (after all, who wouldn't be?). Seishiro understood this as well but it seemed as though the Brit had taking hold of the whole comforting part (at least where the hand holding and snuggling came in).

Hi stayed like that for a bit, she put her head into his shoulder, hiding her face. She calmed herself down, took deep breaths, closed her eyes, and relaxed or relaxed about as much as someone could in a graveyard anyway. She opened her eyes and looked at them both, "How about we get lunch? I wonder if they deliver to the cemetery..." She wondered, "So what do you guys want?" She looked at the graves, smiling, "I think... my parents... would enjoy our company a bit longer." She smiled, it never got easier, but she was becoming relaxed and calm.

"Whatever delivers all the way out here is fine with me," Seishiro chimed with a light laugh. Fred nodded in silent agreement. He glanced over at his clan mate, somewhat impressed with the boy's optimism. It must truly have been impossible to get the sparkly Tora down, at least visibly.

Hi nodded, "Okay." She walked over to the oak tree and started dialing. She tried several different places, all of them startled by the fact that they needed to deliver to a cemetery of all places, so they promptly said no. She then tried her favorite Japanese restaurant, explaining why they were coming to the cemetery, and they were delighted to come.
Hi smiled as she walked back over, "Turns out that my favorite Japanese restaurant delivers." She sat down carefully on the grass, "So who wants to go pick up? They're delivering it to the gate, I would go but..." She took off her high heels, revealing red soles and blistered ankles, "Myheels are killing me." she smiled sheepishly.

The ever-gentlemanly Brit mover to take the job, but Seishiro was already on Hi's feet and heading towards the gates. "I'll give you lovebirds a moment alone," the Tora chimed with a wink. He half-walked, half-skipped off, humming obnoxiously as he went. Fred sighed shaking his head at the boy's ridiculousness with a chuckle.
