Busying herself with the tea had helped, it stopped her thoughts from wandering and remembering every awkward moment so far from the wedding to now. It was continuously replaying in her mind repeating over and over and she knew it would drive her insane, so she had to make herself busy, but even that was hard as she didn’t know where everything was here. Maybe he won’t leave the bedroom, maybe he will stay there all day. Naive thoughts passed through her mind at the idea of not seeing him or talking to him because she didn’t know what to say.
“A-Ah”
Gasping at the sudden sound of a voice the china cup in her hand slipped through her fingers smashing against the floor as she jumped not expecting him to be there. Haru was clearly startled but her eyes widened at the smashed cup on the floor and she immediately bowed her head to Chunjiro, “S-Sorry… sorry, I… ah.. Let me clean this up.” Face heated up in embarrassment as she knelt down hurriedly trying to pick up the smashed china, but also being careful not to cut herself on any of the fragments.
Looking up from the floor she tried to smile but it came across as a little forced and she already started to berate herself for it. “Good morning.” Hesitating a little as she rose back to her feet with some of the china fragments in hand. I don’t even know where the bin is. Cringing to herself as she kept them in hand, she looked over at Chunjiro feeling herself blush at his next words, “O-Oh… well that’s fine. Or just Haru. I don’t mind, what would you prefer?”
OH. Wow I’m an idiot. He must think I’m such a klutz and… well stupid. I should address him traditional too? Why am I questioning everything? Biting her lip as she could still feel the heat in her cheeks from being embarrassed. “I.. would you like me to address you as Anata?” Glancing back at the broken china in her hands she looked for the bin in the kitchen to place them in, finally locating its whereabouts she dropped the fragments inside happy she had not harmed herself from the broken china but then she started to question how she must have looked like a fool in front of him for not knowing where it was initially.
“Tea?” Her voice was quite high at the offer of tea as she returned to making them, this time hopefully she would not break any more china in the process and cause further embarrassment. Grasping the cups, she placed his down onto the table and hers at the opposite end to him. Grasping at the kettle pale hands began to pour the liquid into his cup first, her hands trembled slightly because she was a ball of nerves but she served him first knowing it was the right thing to do before finally pouring out a cup of tea for herself. After Haru had returned the kettle she knelt down in front of the table opposite him hesitating before she spoke again, “I… will make breakfast of course, but I didn’t know what you liked and then I worried I’d serve you something horrible or you’d be allergic and I.. ah… sorry…” Mumbling out the last words as she realised, she had started to ramble in front of him and her cheeks began to darken at how embarrassed she was.
