Kyoshi smiled as he was given some fudge, he waited until it was held out to him and ate it from Ryou's fingers blushing a little, he savored the sugary goodness and almost perked up instantly. Allowing himself to be helped up he moved out the door of the store he sighed inwardly but blushed a little "Ryou..." he say stopping in front of him, biting his lip a little at what was going through his mind but shook his head "Nevermind" he say blushing a little brighter as he turned to walk again

Ryou had almost looked byut Kyoshi brushed off his thought quickly so he only glanced and seen a light blush. "see told you skor is awesome fudge too. Let's head back. I'm in need of a nice relaxing shower." He hummed a bit, knowing it would really be a long jerking session more than likely. "But before that we should at least get a head start on that homework too."

Kyoshi continued to think on what Ryou had told him, about what the cashier in the store had said, he did find Ryou quite handsome. Smiling a little nodded being knocked out of his train of thought "Yes it's a really nice fudge" he say walking beside him as he once again got lost in his thoughts biting his lip he stopped once more in front of Ryou "I could be..." he took a deep breath as he tried to steady his nerves "I could be your girlfriend if you wanted" he blurted out, he couldn't exactly use the more masculine version considering he looked like a girl to everyone even if they knew him he got classed in the female perspective, his cheeked blushing brightly

Ryou had agreed that the fudge was good. Blushing and halting in his movement when Kyoshi said that. His knees almost buckling underneath him. He was glad there were benches on the random sidewalks, sitting where they were closer. "wha-what?" He was a deep red by now, looking at Kyoshi. He couldn't help but be surprised slightly.

He subconsciously grabbed Kyoshi and cuddled him. "there's just a small problem with that. I'm not into girls." He smiled sheepishly. "though that's not really a problem. I'd like that too." He finally said after getting his thoughts processed properly. He kissed Kyoshi's cheek before getting up to head back to the dorm.

Kyoshi sat down next to him at the benches as Ryou had "I-I think I like you" he say in a whisper his eyes closing he felt so embarrassed speaking like this to him, his cheeks becoming a deep rosy color "I guessed you where not into girls by the yaoi on your bookshelf" he confess "And now you reacted to me in a kimono" he continued

"I refare to myself in the feminine as that is how I have always been addressed because of my looks" he say he felt humiliated that he had said such a thing but it was truthful "Just because I said girlfriend doesn't change my gender I am still male and this is what matters" he smile happily "Besides from what you have told me of your parents they would pefare you to have a normal relationship" he say feeling Ryou's parents where very prim and proper

"Will you accept me as your girlfriend?" he say smiling hearing how he said he'd like it to but still wanted to clarify properly, slowly standing he blushed at being kissed on the cheek holding onto Ryou's hand as they walked back to the dorm

Ryou nodded. "yeah of course. Though if the parents find out you might have to dress up that way to sort of prove it." Ryou chuckled. He would stand by Kyoshi either way. "just at meal times and things. What should we finish up first of the homework?" He figured focusing on 1-2 subjects or more a night would clear their schedule quickly. "you'd like my room. It has a candy bar if they haven't changed it around. Almost like a bar for adults to get drunk at but all candies and sweets."

Kyoshi looked to him as he said he may have to dress up like a girl to prove it "I don't mind dressing up as a girl, I do it at work..." he paused for a moment eating another part of fudge "Besides it's not like it's public... it would bring happiness and pleasure to you so I'm sure I could live with it" he blushed lightly, he meant his words, for him he would happily dress in anything he wanted.

Hear int the question about homework he looked at what subjects they where given "Well we should perhaps deal with art since we have sketches to do and more than likely the reading and essay for literature as there will likely be a quiz when we get back" he say placing the things into the kitchen taking the things he needed for the cheesecake out first.

"Ryou while I'm making the cheesecakes and dinner would you mind doing something for me?" he asked a light blush coming to his cheeks as he washed his hands before starting, he knew Ryou would at least hear it out so waited till he acknowledged "Could you move our beds together" his voice showed he was embarrassed for asking but also showed that if they where going to be in a relationship they should get use to the warmth of the other

Ryou helped place things on the table. Once that was done he heard the words. "Sure. Might as well rearrange some other things too." He said as he went to go and move the beds to the middle as they were placed together within 5 minutes of pushing at either bed. He then moved the night stands closer to both beds. This also gave the room more open space it seemed. He knew Kyoshi would dress in almost anything so long as it wasn't slutty. He would eventually tell his parents but that might not be for a while after their little lie.

He came back to the kitchen, leaning in the doorway as he watched Kyoshi mixing up some things. "all done. Looks a bit more open now." He smiled, waiting to see if Kyoshi was going to take a look. "anything else you need done?"

Kyoshi continued cooking their meals as he made the cheesecake, he was making six different kinds at the same time as making home made garlic bread and spaghetti bolognese, the pasta of course was made fresh, the scent of the food surrounding the room and slowly leaking into their bedroom. He now wondered how the other students coped with food after all it's not like cooking for them was a necessary life skill.

Placing the last cheesecake in the fridge he moved out when Ryou said everything was done and looked around their room "It looks bigger" he said as he almost fell over again, his eyes went to Ryou's night stand as he seen his phone go off "Your parents?" he say turning to deal with their meal once more in case it burnt or stuck "You have about ten minutes then dinner will be done" he say kissing his cheek when passing him

Ryou probably knew it to be them. "more than likely. all right. That's about all the time they're getting with me. smells good. Have another bite of the fudge while your at it." He smiled at the kiss and headed for the phone. He sighed when it was them. He picked up and wanted to know what they were calling for. He told them he and his roommate would be down some time for one half of the Winter break. He would tell them later about him being his 'girl'friend.

Kyoshi continued happily singing as he made dinner, placing some garlic onto the bolognese and some olive oil into the boiling water before placing the pasta in. hearing what Ryou said he took a little fudge to sate off any dizziness he would feel until dinner was done.

After ten minutes he started to dish out their meals placing some cheese in a bowl and placed it on the table, before poking his head around the door "Ryou dinner's ready" he say sweetly with a smile, he could tell he didn't want to be on the phone so it gave him a reason to get off it

Ryou said his farewells and turned the phone off in general. He didn't need it on. "All right." He followed, sitting down and praised Kyoshi's cooking before digging in and nearly dying. He did love everything he made. "I been thinking. You need one of those dressing dummy's. That could fit in the extra space now. As an outfit holder fir incomplete ones." He smiled as he ate.

Hearing the door being knocked he excused himself from the table and went to answer it, he was happy to see the tailor and helped her with the fabrics he had asked for and bid her farewell as she left heading back to the table.

Now hearing Ryou's praises even before he ate a singe bite he blinked, truly not understanding how you could praise someones food without tasting it. Taking some of the cheese he placed it on the top of his food before heading to the oven taking out the garlic bread he placed it on two plates, one lot had melted cheese the other didn't. Smiling happily he placed them both on the table "I didn't know how you preferred it so I done both" he say honestly now sitting to enjoy the meal.

Hearing what he said he should get he sighed "I don't have that kind of money, it will take me a while to save it up" he say beginning to eat his food, he knew he needed one but he could only do what finds allowed "During our time at your parent's house however will you cope without my cooking" he teased playfully

"yeah that's going to be the sad thing about being there. Mhm they're not too much. If you know where to look. I might know where there's a design studio. Only thing is it's a long walk to get there so it'd probably be safer to drive. No shame in taking a look?" Ryou said as he cleaned his plate like anything. He took one of each as he liked it done either way. "I'm not fussy. Garlic bread is garlic bread."

Maybe he would pitch in for a Birthday gift for Kyoshi of something he needed and knew he couldn't afford just yet. He knew he wouldn't be able to just splurge on him without him getting a little upset. "desserts all cooling off?" He asked as he noticed nothing on the counter.

"I'm sure your chef wouldn't mind me cooking, I think I'd go stir crazy if I couldn't cook for three weeks" he say with a small laugh taking a piece of plain garlic bread "I'm fourteen I can't drive, and the only day I get off work is Sunday where I need to get in a full day is study" he say replying to what Ryou had said with a sigh before eating his garlic bread quietly.

His birthday was soon and he knew it was the one time of year people would go out their way to try and spoil him, it was also the one day he couldn't refuse being babied, as he didn't want to seem ungrateful "I made trifle this morning, it will be good to eat" he say before taking another mouthful of his meal "I was thinking for lunch tomorrow I could make you a pizza homemade, since you like pizza so much" he say wanting to see what Ryou thought of the idea

Ryou nodded. "I like anything on it so put what you like." He wondered if he would be all right if he did give him a dummy for his birthday. They were not too much and he had ties with some places so he could even get one for free probably. He was sure Kyoshi wouldn't mind if he heard it was free at the very least.

He got out his secret wine stash. He was rich so he was allowed to sample them. He got out the chocolate raspberry wine, pouring a little shot each in the tiny glasses they had. He didn't pour much since it wouldn't do them any good to be drunk at their ages. "I can drive I just don't have a car here. Mine's at home, though it's just a tiny two seater but that's all I need anyway. It's pretty easy once you know how." He handed him the glass. "It's a great wine. Didn't pour much because it's a little strong and there's not much needed. It's a chocolate raspberry. I like it."

Kyoshi stood after finishing his meal, "Okay I'll make you a pizza for lunch" he say contently washing up the dishes drying them and putting them away before moving into the fridge to get the trifle out, a happy smile on his face as he done so, unlike many people the cream he used for the topping was chocolate with hundreds and thousands on top to give it some color.

Placing the trifle on the table he got a large spoon so they could scoop out what they wanted to eat and two smaller spoons so they could eat from their bowls, little would the other know that the custard would taste of cinnamon, his family liked the concoction so he hoped Ryou would too "Your sixteen, they only allow you to start properly driving at eighteen" he say his voice showing confusion.

Looking at the shot glass he shook his head "Alcohol turns brilliant minds, into mindless thugs" he say his voice was gentle but showed he wouldn't change his mind on the matter "Besides I'm to young to drink and so are you, then there is the fact we are in school" he say walking away from the other back to the table and sat without another word

"I have a driving instructor. I am under that 6 month limit though." Ryou said proudly, though frowned when the wine would go to waste. "We always have it at my house for special occasions." He blushed lightly. That's mainly why he brought it out. He could dilute it he supposed. "It's fitting. It's a dessert wine." He said, putting the bottle back from the secret place. "could always invite the nurse back and she could have it if you don't want to even try a sip." He pouted cutely.

He wouldn't force him to if he didn't want to try it though. He took a small sip, that being enough really as he poured the rest into a larger glass and rinsed out the small ones. There was still one way for Kyoshi to sample it if he didn't want to sample it.

"So you have a car your just not legally allowed to drive without some who can drive in it" he say starting to serve out the trifle, hearing the wine was brought out for special occasions he blinked "What's the special occasion?" he asked his voice showing he was confused on the matter, listening the the rest of what was said he still shook his head "Alcohol is still alcohol and we are still to young to drink it" he say before he began to eat his desert he never even gave a second glance to the second shot glass

"Invite the nurse if you like, and let her sample it if you want, I can guarantee she will tell you the same thing I just have and confiscate it" he sighed and pushed his dessert away losing his appitite he didn't like arguing. standing he placed the bigger bowl in the fridge, threw out what was in his bowl before washing, drying and putting away the large spoon, small spook and his bowl

When that was done he moved out of the kitchen, to grab his pajama's and a towel, moving into the bathroom he locked the door behind him and had a shower, it was slightly longer than the ones he normally had but he was going over the events of the day, he was happy they where dating but something told him they where going to but heads a lot about certain subjects.

After fifteen minutes he left the shower but remained in the bathroom getting himself fully dried before changing into his simple ice blue cotton pajamas before moving out of the bathroom and into the bedroom to start finishing his art homework

"Ah fine fine. I guess...to us?" He smiled, deciding to try and pour it back into the bottle. No sense in wasting perfectly good wine by throwing it away. He still had a hint of the wine in his mouth. He had changed into something comfier while Kyoshi was in the shower. He never slept in pj's really so boxers it was.

He went over some of the things they needed to do for homework, figuring art was the quickest. They had a few drawing assignments. Most of them were still life or what you see currently. "I put it all away." He said, about the wine after Kyoshi came out. "Maybe I'll give it to someone as a gift or something for Winter break. Maybe her. Maybe another teacher we might eventually get used to." He said as he was on the bed. The only thing was it was hard to fix the sheets to be one big bed so there was a split in the middle where they ended.

Biting his lip as he heard why they where celebrating he smiled "O-okay I guess we can have a small drink" he say, he didn't want to seem ungrateful after all they where now dating, he knew his parents would accept it, he was more worried about Ryou's "D-do you think your parents will approve of me and my background?" he ask sitting on the edge of the bed, he knew he looked like a girl, hell he sounded like one too so he could pass for one, it was the upbringing part he was worried about.

He didn't make a big deal of it he was more curious than anything, crawling further onto the bed he blushed seeing Ryou's chest and took his sketch pad finishing off the one of Ryou sleeping but kept it hidden as he done the shading, he was embarrassed about his art as he was more a designer than an artist but still it was still in the higher percentage of the school

"I'm not sure. I wouldn't bother being worried though. They don't accept the staff all that much. Look at it this way. We're happy. Who cares what they think. Truth be told. They're not happy. So to put others down makes them happy if only for a moment." Ryou said, stopping his little rant. He secretly had done something similar for one of his drawing assignments, though Kyoshi was already awake for it. "it's just the teacher looking at these I believe. At least I hope." He'd drawn Kyoshi at work.

"I'll make myself presentable for them, I want to gain their approval... It's just part of who I am" he smile, he knew their relationship would be easier if his family weren't trying to pull them apart "Another reason is, if they don't like me they could potentially try and switch our rooms and with the money they can fling around it would be possible" he dropped his sketchbook and clung to Ryou's arm almost as if he was afraid to lose him "If you show me your drawing I'll show you mine" he say pinking feeling the others skin on his

"Uh you sure? It's been done for a while now but. It's not bad just." Ryou stopped, looking around a little nervous. He grabbed for the sketchbook. He did one of the costumes Kyoshi had been wearing but not any of the short ones. He had also been in the process of sketching the last one he had been in. He didn't want Kyoshi to be mad. Since he'd secretly taken the pictures. "just. Don't get all worked up. Okay?" He asked gently. "They wouldn't do that because I could easily say I won't return to them. They cannot disown me since they like to use me."

"I'm sure" he say with a smile "I just finished mine" he blushed a little "Please don't be mad" he say moving his hand to his sketchbook he turned to the picture he had drawn before passing it to Ryou "I couldn't help it you looked so sweet" he giggle taking Ryou's sketchpad his eyes went wide "What the..." he hadn't expected what he had seen "You drew me working" he didn't sound angry he sounded confused as to why he would have done it, though he stopped hearing his next words "Use you?" he say he looked lost

"I'm not mad. I couldn't resist. It's fun capturing you like that. I couldn't resist. At least I hadn't done anything overly embarrassing though." He showed his sketch of the last costume. It was nowhere near being done but you could tell what outfit it had been. "I dunno if I want to finish this one or not." He nodded. "Yeah they take me to parties and things. Pretend that they actually care then once that's over they dump me on the nearest curb. I'm like a puppet to them. They even plan on controlling my career path and everything. But it won't work out that way. I don't want to go to college for 5 years just to not be hired at a Hospital." He sighed as he lay down. "believe me. It's not easy having money. You get lonely. Money can't buy happiness."

"I'm not mad, it's no different than me sketching you while you where asleep, so I say we are even" he say contently kissing Ryou gently on the lips, pinking as he did so, he wanted Ryou to know how much he truly meant to him. "You should finish it, my parents always say.. if you start something, start it to finish it" he say placing his head on Ryou's shoulder.

"Are we both going to be treated like that when I come to visit?" he ask, he didn't mind being treated like a doll, he often was looked at as one, but this time would be different he'd have Ryou there with him and he would be in the same boat if it did come to that "Being a doctor is a good profession, I'm going to be a designer or a cook I think" he smile, kissing into the others neck "Your happiness is with me, you will never be alone" he whisper lovingly

Ryou smiled. "good. I guess I will then. And I have a few more too." He grabbed for his camera. "Maybe. I don't know. I never really had anyone over before that wasn't family. Though I did smuggle in different wild animals before." He told Kyoshi how he used to smuggle in snakes and rabbits and turtles and frogs. "It doesn't matter because we'll mostly be away from them. We'll only see them at meal time." He thought about careers. "I think either an animator or masseuse...I have a few little notepads I made some with." He rummaged through his bag, taking out a few flipbooks. They were juvenile yet but were from when he was 12. He never got around to drawing more from them since he preferred the bigger sketchbooks. "There is a way to sample the wine without really drinking any you know." He blushed a little. He still had a hint of the flavour left in all that time. But he also didn't want to go too fast with Kyoshi since the time was special as it was.

Watched as Ryou went for his camera "Have you been taking photographs?" he would say reaching for it playfully wanting to see what was on it "Let me see Ryou" he giggle, starting to tickle the elder boy "If it is over the Christmas period I doubt it" he say with a sigh "Christmas parties" he say stopping he the tickling, he looked to the new sketchpads and smiled "They where good for a twelve year old, I definitely see you as an animator" he say kissing his cheek again "How else can you taste things?" he say innocently

Ryou blushed, handing over the camera that had mostly Kyoshi on it. It wasn't just work costumes, but also was other things too. "Ah yes. And for them. They have a big one every holiday. Like for anything." He groaned. He would be in a tuxedo for the party. "I haven't done any since then but who knows. And..there's still some of the taste in my mouth." He said, hoping Kyoshi would get the hint of how one could taste the wine without drinking any. He blushed deeper as he said that.

Kyoshi went thought he pictures "Wait, was that me dancing last night" he say in surprise at what he seen, he didn't understand why Ryou took so many images of him. though hearing there was always a big party he gulped "Does that mean I'm going to be wearing a dress?" he ask not that he minded much, he use to wear lolita clothing a lot when he worked at another cosplay cafe near his home "I think you should draw a cartoon and perhaps we can show it in the school theater" he suggested, though he didn't know if the other would think it was, hearing what Ryou said he blushed deeply and shook his head as he closed his eyes, this action alone should have shown it was a step he wasn't ready for yet

"hmm maybe. We'll see. Though I'd have to think up a plot and things like that. More than likely you'll have to dress up in some way." Ryou said, cuddling up as he decided to continue the sketch at the moment. "It was a thought that's all. But it is a way to sample without tasting anything yourself." He knew that wouldn't happen yet. It was way too early for that. "I took those as references." He admitted, knowing he might want to sketch any of those out. He just darkened the lines to the other drawing for now, putting it away when he was done that. "What other assignments were there for drawing?"

"I can write a script for you if you like" he offer cuddling up happily "I use to wear Lolita at my old job he say, moving off the bed and into the drawer that was normally locked and brought out some pictures handing them to Ryou, some of them was steam-punk but many where him dressed in cute dresses, he blushed a little as he showed them "Perhaps in time, but can we stick with holding hands a light kissing for a while?" he ask sheepishly, his eyes showed he would do anything to keep Ryou happy but he wanted to get use to the whole relationship thing slowly if he could "We have to do some reading and draw something from the fantasy genera" he say with a light yawn

"Ah. They look good." Ryou blushed lightly agreeing with keeping things to Kyoshi's comfort zone. "yeah that's fine with me. The script thing could work. But for now. I think for the next drawing I'll do a dragon. It's been a while since I've done something non-human." He chuckled. "or something close enough to it." He said as he got to work on what popped into his head. "What did you think of doing?"

He blushed hearing the compliment on how he looked while working "Perhaps I'll dress up in anything you want when not working" he say playfully kissing his lips lightly "Thank you for being so understanding, it's my first relationship, so it's special and I don't want to make any mistakes" he say honestly "I'll draw a phoenix" he say with a smile but for the moment he just wanted to cuddle

"I'll make sure to have anything not revealing then." Ryou smiled at the thought. "I dunno if you'd call this a first or not because of my friend back home who was banned from visiting. That was a while ago though. But I still keep in contact. Didn't last long for what we had before he had to go to a different school." He kissed Kyoshi's forehead and rested his hand on his head to play with his hair. "sounds good...for later." He wrapped his arms around Kyoshi's waist, pulling him in closer.

"I would wear whatever you wanted, if it was private and makes you happy" he say honestly, hearing how he had loved another but was banned from seeing him made his heart sink "They could ban you from seeing me, like they did him... Ryou I don't want to lose you" he say holding him tight almost as if he could be torn away at any second, but then he remembered he was going to be introduced as his girlfriend so his parents would be fine with them in a relationship

Feeling the kiss on his forehead he blushed deeply, even more so as he felt him playing with his hair "We can do the other sketches tomorrow and spend time together this evening" he say leaning into the embrace not minding as he was brought closer to Ryou's form

"Sounds good, could watch a movie or something." Ryou suggested. It was a way to cuddle up and be comfy at the same time. "careful what you wish for. My mind can be a scary place. Especially for clothing ideas." He smiled a bit. But it was true. If they agreed to the movie he would let Kyoshi choose one. He could play it on his laptop or something. He also thought that wall in front of the bed was perfect for a flat screen tv. "what do you think? I got some jelly beans and things we could snack on too." He said, not forgetting about Kyoshi's health.

"A movie?" he say with a smile nodding "I have not wished for anything, but I want to keep you happy, like his I was taught" he said as he nuzzled Ryou "I haven't seen many movies, so could you choose?" he say with love "Jelly beans" yawn a little, he was getting so comfortable he was starting to doze "Ryou I love you" he say leaning in and kissing him once more, he truly was happy right there then

Ryou decided on a comedy. Something cheesy and stupid like the Scary Movie collection. It just so happened he had 1-4 on his laptop. "these are all right. We can watch the first one. And yep I got the gourmet jelly beans. They come in different flavours. Some are kinda gross but most of them are really good." He said showing him the huge bag you normally would not find. He thought for a moment, getting up. He tucked down the bed and went to his closet as he had some big blankets in there. He found a thin, warm and very fuzzy one. He then came back after fixing it over the now Double-Queen bed. "There." He got back in after going to change his underwear to a fresher pair.

"comfort is the key." He smiled, cuddling back up as they shared the blankets and cuddled up with the laptop on the bed. "love you too." He kissed his cheek before opening the bag and turning on the movie.
