Grandmother's invitation

"How are things in Hokkaido, grandma?" You balance your phone between your ear and shoulder while trimming off small parts of fat from the steak. The sound of the oiled pan simmers beside you.

"The air here is lovely as always. I feel like it's a present each and every day I wake up here." Your grandmother speaks with such cheerfulness. You can easily envision her smiling face. "I do wish you would come visit. I miss seeing my granddaughter."

Your heart wavers from her words and a smile creeps onto your face. You move the steak over to the pan and grab hold of your phone. "Actually...I was wondering if it's okay for me to come visit during the New Year. Osamu will be visiting his family so the shop will be closed up for the week."

"Oh? That's lovely news! That vacant room I have here will finally have its first guest." Grandma snickers into the phone. A faint voice of a man calls out to her. "Midori, you'll finally see my granddaughter that I've mentioned."

Midori?

So that's the name of the man that grandmas smitten over.

"Do you have a boyfriend yet Y/N? I'd like to see him too." Grandma's question makes your eyes widen. "Ah, but you said he'll be visiting family..."

"What?! Osamu isn't my boyfriend, grandma! He's my best friend." You're quick to correct her, your face heating up. "Oh, is there another guy then? That one you mentioned to me last month. Sazuki?" Grandma tilts her head, rubbing her chin.

"Sakusa." You correct her again. "He's not my boyfriend either."

"My, my. You have all these men around you who sound like amazing people and none of them attracts you? You can't be too picky now Y/N." She begins to lecture you and you hold back the groan that's itching to escape. "It's not that I'm being picky. It's more of me being afraid to be vulnerable for someone else. I'm still trying to get used to the touch of another person." You murmur your words while flipping the steak on the other side.

"Sorry dear. That was inconsiderate of me. You know I'm just looking out for you. How is that going by the way? You and Sazuki?"

"Sakusa?" You lightheartedly giggle. "I think we're both handling it well. I'm sure he'll get over his phobia before me. He's made more effort than I have."

"Oh? I'm curious about this Sakusa boy. Invite him for New Years." Midori calls out to your grandmother again and she's quick to hang up the call after saying her goodbyes. "Make sure to invite him Y/N! I'll have Midori send you a text of our address. I'm looking forward to seeing how much you've grown."

Your lips part slightly, ready to speak up but you hear the call end.

What just happened? Did your grandmother ask you to invite Sakusa over for New Years? What if he has plans already?

And if he didn't...you didn't want to trouble him with this.
