Omiai (Akashi x reader)

                                    

                                          
So here's a special fanfic for the birthday boy! Happy early birthday to Sei-chan!! Oh, and, just a little info, omiai is a meeting for an arranged marriage in Japan. 
                          
Today was just a normal day for you, or so you thought. You, (L/n) (F/n), the manager of Rakuzan's basketball club were picking up a stray basketball when suddenly Akashi approached you with a surprising request. 
                          
" (L/n)-san. Please accompany me tomorrow for the whole day. " The words the red-haired captain uttered made you dropped the basketball that you were picking up earlier. 
                          
" Is there something special about tomorrow, Seichou*-senpai? " You asked, pretending not to know about the significant date. You ahad always called him that, even though you were in the same grade level, as he was your teacher in basketball.
 It was December 19th, and tomorrow is his birthday, you were actually excited, and had even prepared a handmade scarf for your crush. 
                          
" I told you to call me without the "-san". And there's nothing wrong regarding tomorrow, just meet me at the station at 10. " He replied, walking away while dribbling a basketball in his left hand. 
                          
" A-Hai! " You exclaimed, internally jumping in joy. 
                          
" Tadaima! " You exclaimed, informing that you've come back, entering your house with Mibuchi (who was your cousin) following behind you. 
                          
" Reo, (F/n). Come here and sit. " Your father greeted, with your mother sitting down beside him. 
                          
" Mom, Dad, is there something wrong? " You took a seat on the velvet red sofa, slightly leaning back. 
                          
" Listen, (F/n). I think it's time we talk about this. You are now 16, and of a suitable age to find a partner. " Your ears perked at the last word, thinking that you can finally date a boy. 
                          
" Does that mean I can date someone now? " You tried to hide your excitement, but your tone had betrayed your expression. 
                          
" No, sweetie. But instead, we are sending you to an omiai. " Your mother smiled, the foreign word entering your ears. 
                          
" But auntie, don't you think it's a little soon for (F/n)-chan to go to an omiai? I mean, she's merely sixteen. " Mibuchi tried to reason, his brows furrowing. 
                          
" Nonsense! Your grandmother had an omiai with your grandfather when she was only ten! " Your father said, trying to point out that sixteen years old is normal to have an omiai. 
                          
" So, I have to marry someone that you've picked for me? I can't decide on my own? " You lowered your sight, hiding your eyes which was clearly filled with disappoinment. 
                          
" I'm afraid so. This is for the company's sake, (F/n). And this crucial for our company's survival. " That silenced your thought, as you looked up in resignation. 
                          
" When will the omiai be? " you asked, sighing as you got up from your seat. 
                          
" Tomorrow at 10. We'll go to the place at 9.30. " Your steps were halted on the stairs, knowing that 10 a.m. was the promised time between you and Akashi. He was your ultimate crush, but you had to let it go as this omiai will decide the future of your father's company. 
                          
" I understand. I'll... try not to sleep in. " You replied, knowing that you'll have to text Akashi and apologize to him later.

" Welcome back, Seijuro-sama. " A butler greeted Akashi by the door. 
                          
" I'm back. Hiroto, is my father requesting my presence in his office? " He asked, knowing that the butler was his father's personal attendant.  
                          
" Yes, young master. Please follow me. " The spectacled man bowed, before Akashi nods and heads to his father's office.
