No, you have to update your family registration and go through the process of updating your name with your family, friends, and businesses manually. It really shouldn't be this tedious a process.

[ Come on, Rin. So close. ]

[satanslash]

[Rin Okumura does not function before 10am on any given day.

Yet he somehow runs a successful restaurant. The world is mysterious like that.]

Anythin' that requires paperwork is a pain.

[Homework, business licenses, name chan--

wait.]

Th'fuck you changin' your name for anyway?

[chichichi]

[ She loves Rin, she really does, and she was prepared for this level of thick headedness. There isn't so much as a hint of laughter from her. No, she's holding everything in right now. ]

Rin-chan, what's Lightning-kun's name?

[satanslash]

Asshole McGee?

[R IN]

[chichichi]

[ Well, she was going to make a game out of how long it took for him to put two and two together, but with a setup like that, she's just going to slam her figurative finger into the kill button. ]

That is no way to talk about your big brother-in-law.

[satanslash]

[He deserves it.]

Mywhatnow-

[chichichi]

[ She'll literally fight the magical autotranslate to deliver this piece of information to Rin now. He's earned it. ]

Your. Big. Brother-in-law.

[ And she'll wait for it. ]

[satanslash]

...

[Did.

Did he just hang up?!]

[chichichi]

[ Did he just hang up? Setsura looks at her device to check, but even before that, she is... actually shaking with barely contained laughter that will eventually terminate in a sigh. She could hop the window in his apartment and let herself in, but that would require her to leave her very comfortable spot, so --

She'll give Rin a good five minutes to process things. Knowing him, he'll need more, but she's not so generous when someone hangs up on her.

Your phone is ringing again, Rin. Pick up. ]

[satanslash]

[He doesn't pick up, but she will get a text back, clearly written without looking at his phone because he's got a pillow over his head.]

sb

si

no

[chichichi]

[ This text takes a moment longer than might've been expected and that's because it's an image, specifically an image of Setsura and Lightning's hands. There are rings on the appropriate fingers. And along with this text is simply: ]

Yes.

[satanslash]

[Rin is letting out some interesting noises of distress, peeking at his phone but refusing to pull the pillow from over his head. Mochi is a very confused kitty, staring at her dad from across the bed.

He smacks the phone a few more times.]

snao
;//

sj

wh y

[chichichi]

[Why is a question with such a loaded answer and she's quick, sharp in debating it. It'd be easy to continue down the current path, but -- ]

I love him.

[ And she could leave it at that. Boiled down whatever which way, that's the truth of it. ]

I love being with Lewin and making him happy and he makes me really happy, too. I'm not going to have forever with him, but I knew that from the beginning. It's more than that.

I'd have thought out of my little brothers, you'd be the one most likely to understand.

[satanslash]

[He stares at the message for a long, long time. Probably too long, if she's waiting for a response.

Eventually he sighs tiredly and sits up, swinging his legs over the bed to fiddle with something.

About five minutes or so later she'll get a screenshot showing her name changed in his directory.]

he doesnt respect me
even though i never did anything to him
hes always gonna see me as satan's bastard child

but honestly
if youre happy im happy for you
bc youre more important to me than his respect

[chichichi]

I love you, too, Rin-chan.

[ No teasing, no trolling. Just that affectionate truth she'll have to really drive home in person another time. She means it and what he's done and said means a lot to her and she wants him to understand everything that might not quite carry through a simple text message. She'll definitely make sure he does. ]

[satanslash]

[He gets it. And he appreciates it. He knows it's not easy for her to be that vulnerable.

He knows someday he'll lose her the same way he lost Nyx, Kaoru and so many others that went back to their homes after they fixed the village, but for now he's okay with this.]

for the record i AM still mad at you

[He'll send that first, letting it stew for a moment before adding:]

how the hell could you have a wedding without me?!

[chichichi]

[ That first statement confuses her until she reads the second one and she blinks, brow quirked. ]

We didn't have a wedding.

[satanslash]

whaaaaat

lame! totally lame!

[chichichi]

How is that lame?

[satanslash]

you coulda had a huge party! dressed up pretty! hell made him look less like a hobo for a few hours for sure

food! dancing! weddings are awesome ok!!!

[He used to help his dad with them at the church, especially when the couple was poorer and couldn't afford as much in extravagance and he was old enough to make some decent food for them at much less cost.

Also he's kind of secretly a giant sap. She just hasn't seen this side of him before.]

[chichichi]

[ Is she still speaking with Rin Okumura or did Kohaku-chan somehow get the phone?? No, it's Rin, just. He sure sounds excited. ]

Are you sure wedding planning wasn't your true calling? You sure seem enthusiastic about it.

[satanslash]

catering is a part of wedding planning...

[Don't! Call him out like this!]

look

im gonna tell you something

that not even my girlfriend knows about me


and i swear if you tell anyone i will disown you so fast





but i like shoujo manga

ive cried over romance stories before

[chichichi]

[ It's too late. She's called him out like this. She's also just... going to spare Lewin a glance before she goes back to typing. ]

So what you're saying is you're a closet romantic.

I bet Kohaku-chan appreciates that even if she doesn't know you're into shoujo manga. Speaking of your lady love, have you considered your own wedding?

[ It's time to deflect!! ]

I'm sure Kohaku-chan would make a lovely spring bride.

[satanslash]

yukio always made me feel bad for it! and bitched because i would cry and they were always his serials i was borrowing

[Closet romantic nothing. He acts like he's in Narnia about it, despite helping Kohaku choose White Day for her birthday so he could spoil her more.

But also--]

wait what

im not


were not gonna







should
we?

[chichichi]

It sounds to me like [ -- please hold. She's actually trying to figure out what to call Yukio since she calls Rin "Rin-chan" now. Time to skip it -- ] little brother may have been projecting. Perhaps he was embarrassed about his own feelings concerning romance?

[ But that last question gives her pause and she sobers. She could tease certainly. Keep things light, but that's not the flavor of the question he's posing. He's thought about it, perhaps before. At some point in time, Rin's considered it. He's considering it now. ]

I'm not the person who would be getting married in this instance, so it wouldn't be wholly correct for me to answer such a question in earnest, but then, I've never been a being who wholly respects that sort of correctness.

But you're already thinking about it, hm? You probably have before now, so I'll say this:

If you, Rin Okumura, desire to marry Kohaku Hearts, to be her husband and have her as your wife, and she's in agreement with you, then suffer no man, beast, or god's disapproval.

You've only got so many days until summer. If Kohaku-chan is amenable, make her a proper spring bride.
