Kyoshi looked to Ryou for a moment "I don't mind leading if your lost" he say smiling contently as he took the right directions "I have a photographic memory, I am sure I can remember how to get back to the dorm" he say with a chuckle nuzzling the others cheek before nipping his ear playfully as they headed to the store.

A few minutes they got to the store, Kyoshi smiled seeing Lawrence "Excuse me Lawrence" he say quietly almost in an intimidated tone, Lawrence turned to look at them both and smiled though sighed seeing Kyoshi still in trousers and a shirt "Has he still not taken you cloths shopping?" he say taking Kyoshi's hand and kissing it lightly "Such a flower shouldn't be seen in the clothing of men" he say looking to Ryou for a second "Well if Ryou won't take you shopping, then please allow me" he say taking Kyoshi's hand lightly in his and led him out of the store.

Kyoshi tried to open his mouth to refused the gift but he felt rude doing it to Ryou, and felt even worse doing it to someone he really didn't know and potentially cause offense and problems between the two friends

Ryou was nearly laughing on the floor but stopped himself. He would talk to Kyoshi about being able to remember the directions as well. He was just testing his memory since it was the easiest way to know where things were. He watched Lawrence to see where they were going. He caught up. "careful choosing I guess since you're hard to bargain with. But 'she' is petite so nothing will fill in most dresses." He blushed a little talking about cleavage that Kyoshi really did lack to pull off wearing anything. "unless there's certain padding."

Lawrence looked to them both and smiled "Then perhaps we will get her the padding" he say taking him back to the first store they went to "Besides, if you are going to take her home, do you think your mother would approve of meeting your girlfriend in trousers?" he say smirking "It's your mothers birthday this Saturday so you know she will want you there" he say knowing his parent's all to well.

Kyoshi looked down a light blush coming to his cheeks as the two spoke, he had no idea what to say to it but followed quietly, getting back to the store he had seen the lolita dress he had been drooling over but looked back to Ryou not to sure what to say on this

Ryou had totally forgotten his mother's birthday with all the current events that were going on. "I guess I'll have to bring her a gift then...Don't tell her I forgot?" He asked Lawrence. Ryou couldn't say no when Lawrence was in this type of mood so he shrugged at Kyoshi a bit. He went close to Kyoshi. "He's hard to tell no to. So it's not likely to happen." He sighed.

Kyoshi looked to Ryou and nodded "O-okay Ryou" he say walking into the store with them, looking at all the expensive dress's that where around, he looked like a cross between a kid in a candy store and someone who was afraid to touch anything in case something happened. He Kept next to Lawrence who looked to the teller "Anything this young lady wishes is given, no if's, no but's no maybe's... She has to have at least five dresses, and five smart outfits, and five casual... if padding is needed then please accommodate" he say looking at Ryou "I will not say anything... your girlfriend could use your opinion and I have a little work here so I'll leave you two to it" he say kissing Kyoshi's hand once more before walking off

Ryou nodded, standing next to Kyoshi as he let out a sigh. "see told ya. Can't say no to the man no matter what. So you'll have to get used to crossdressing a bit. Where shall we start?" He asked as he chuckled. "I'm not going to recommend half of these dresses because they're too sleazy." He said, looking at how short or exposed they were. Some were not bad though as he walked over to those ones.

"It makes me feel uncomfortable to accept such expensive things... Can't we just run?" he say looking down "I am use to wearing female clothing, I do kabuki, cosplay and plays" he say honestly, the dresses and skirts never bothered him, but he followed Ryou to the other skirts, his eyes every now and then drifting back to the dress he drooled over but went back to the dresses that Ryou walked towards

"we can't run or refuse since it would just not end well since Lawrence is forcing us really." Ryou said honestly. If they refused or tried to avoid this, nothing good would happen. "Might as well humour him." Ryou said as he let Kyoshi pick out everything since it was going to be tried on either way, hopefully without the cashier going in ewith him to fit him.

Kyoshi sighed a little and nodded to Ryou's words "I guess your parents are kind of old fashioned" he say hugging onto Ryou's arm "then I want to at least try the dress I'm gaga over" he say nuzzling Ryou contently, he just hoped the teller wouldn't come try ans fit him

Ryou chuckled as he at least agreed to that. "how about I come in and help with whatever I can? That way nobody else needs to come in either." It's not like Kyoshi would be totally naked trying things on anyway. "I won't look if you don;t want me to either until you tell me to." He promised that much too. He'd take the fitting himself if need be.

Kyoshi nodded to what Ryou had said blushing lightly "You are going to see my form eventually and we are both mature so it's okay" he say walking to the teller asking for the dress in the window, the teller brought it to him and he moved to the changing room taking Ryou's hand.

When inside he undressed to his boxers and started putting the dress on, he looked to Ryou "I need you to help with the ties on the back" he say honestly, he wondered what he would look like hair done up properly with some make up, but time would tell this as he could tell there would be no need to alter it

Ryou blushed lightly as he watched Kyoshi, trying to drown perverted thoughts away. The last thing he needed to be right now was hard. Especially in the store. He nodded, helping do up the back of the dress. "looks good. Seems to fit too. Need any cleavage help there?" He chuckled as he asked, holding onto some false boobs though it was all just padding really. "any other dresses and things since Lawrence said all those things?"

Kyoshi took the padding and placed them in the right area's and turned to look at Ryou with a smile "What do you think? Of course it will look better with my hair done up and a little make up" he say twirling a little "Oh no he's going to take me shoe shopping" he sigh knowing that if he was buying dresses shoes where bound to follow, He walked out of the dressing room and to have a look around "I like lolita and Victorian style dresses" he say blinking as he seen Lawrence who looked stunned "I think I'll need to steal this one from you and treat her like the princess she is" he say in a charming tone as he brought out a single blue rose, Kyoshi blushing a bit as he took it

"Looks good. Though a little awkward since I know you don't really have anything there. But it looks like it'd fool anyone who doesn't know." Ryou smiled. "Just try and go for something that doesn't have much of a heel. Two inches at most. Even I can walk in that amount." He chuckled. "Well if there's more in different colours. or different styles too besides just that." Ryou sighed as Lawrence spoke. "Then stop being a hopeless romantic and get yourself a date with someone." He chuckled as he clung protectively to Kyoshi for a moment.

Kyoshi was glad looked good on him, and smiled brightly "Ryou I can walk in stilettos that have a four inch heals" he say contently nodding to the fact there where more in different colors and styles. Seeing Lawrence take his hand and remove the tag "You should definitely wear that at the moment it suits you well, better than Ryou's clothing anyway" he say looking at Ryou "I am the hopeless romantic, you know this" he say kissing Kyoshi's cheek a little. "I think I already have my eye on that someone" he say smiling "You still haven't introduced us Ryou and that is just rude" he say with a slight pout

Ryou shrugged as he rarely wore anything with a heal. If he did it was usually half an inch but he's tried on his mother's shoes before. They hurt him so he never tried the pointy toes again. He needed a wider frame for shoes. "good for you. I have preferences though. I can wear some." He smiled. "Kyoshi what ever will we do. He wants to steal you away now." He teased. "Kyoshi, lawrence. Hopeless romantic, Mine." He said as he moreso introduced them. "can't say I didn't now." He teased. "I thought you had your eye on one of your employees? Or did she turn you down?"

Kyoshi smiled "You don't have the feet for heels" he say pointing at how wide they where, he lifted the bottom of the dress so his own feet could be seen "Small feet" he say dropping the dress and held out his hands "Small hands... just plainly I was put in the wrong body" he say quietly before lawrance turned up.

Kyoshi curtseyed as he was introduced "My name is Hoshi, he keeps calling me by my brother's name to wind me up" he say nudging Ryou lightly "My brother is his roommate and we could pass as identical twins at the best of times" he say with a chuckle holding one of Ryou's hands in his own "Ryou I don't feel good" he say with a quiet tone looking down.

Lawrence took Kyoshi's other hand and kissed it "Pleasure to meet you properly Miss Hoshi" he say gently and looked to Ryou "I never asked her, he may have looked nice but had a very bad core" he say sourly, Ryou should have known it as the code for gold digger "Is she okay?" he asked noticing how Kyoshi was swaying a little

Ryou chuckled. "Nah don't think that too much it's still useful in both types of clothing." He smiled. "Mine are good but in my style of heels. Mine don't go larger than one inch I believe." He rubbed his ribs after Kyoshi nudged him a bit. He smirked. "Yeah it's so fun to tease her that way." He rummaged through his bag and found some fudge. "this kind of not feeling good?" He asked, holding it out for him. "Ah. Those people are the worst. Sorry about that. But at least you didn't have to try and get hurt though" He consoled Lawrence lightly before holding Kyoshi up a bit by the waist. "She has a slight sugar dependency. You okay now? Need anything else?" Ryou asked, kissing Kyoshi's forehead. It would do no good to lie to Lawrence but he still didn't mind the dependency either way as it was cute in a way until things got bad or he got dizzy.

Kyoshi looked to Ryou and smiled "I prefer flats but they don't go well with dresses" he say with smile, helping to rub his rib a little now noticing how toned his form was and blushed a little "You wouldn't get hurt if you didn't tease me all the time" he pouted, smiling as he seen the fudge and took it "Thank you Ryou" his voice low kissing his cheek lightly before taking a piece and eating it

Lawrance smiled and nodded "Yeah, seems like she got to Raymond a few months back and when he said no to something she dumped him. She applied here trying to get with me so she wouldn't have to work" he say shaking his head "It is a pity that some princess's only try to be in a relationship for money" he say his eyes going to Kyoshi and smiled seeing some color com back to Kyoshi's skin.

Kyoshi nodded "I feel better now thank you" he say gently, though looked to Lawrence for a moment "Ryou, perhaps Lawrence could join us at the fair?" he say noticing how he seemed a little down, though hearing him discuss his dependency to sugar he moved back into the changing room and locked the door changing back into the clothing he was in. After changing he moved out with the dress and foam and gave it back to the woman before leaving the store

"Then maybe something with a little heel. Flats do lack that and don't look good with lolita. But with summer dresses more." Ryou nodded as he took out another block of fudge just in case one wasn't enough. He looked to lawrence. "Ouch. That's certainly what I'd avoid." He nodded at Kyoshi's little invitation. "I guess so. So Lawrence. Do you want to be the third wheel later at the fair? You may find a date too if you're lucky." He chuckled. He'd be nice no less but would be glad if he did land a date.

Lawrence watched as Kyoshi moved out of the store, his eyes going to Ryou "I believe something might have been said to upset her" he say his voice showing concern "Considering the circumstances I think I will give it a miss but you'll have to come over for dinner at some point" he say with a faint smile "By the way Ryou, I am going to steal her from you" he with a grin

Ryou bit his lip, not meaning to upset Kyoshi in the very least. His mood dropped slightly. He didn't know what was said wrong. He'd have to go apologise and ask at the very least. "ah fine. But you know if you did that it would be illegal for you. She's only 14." He chuckled as he headed back to find Kyoshi and find out what was wrong.

Lawrence looked at Ryou "We are the same age Ryou so if she is illegal for me then the the same could be said for you" he say with a chuckle "I'll pick some things and send them off to your dorm and you can give them to her next time you see her" he say walking off to help an assistant who was needing help with stocking.

Kyoshi would already be close to the exit of the mall, he just wanted out of there and to be alone for a while, the last thing he wanted was strangers to know about problems he had, when he himself hadn't even came to terms with it

"Oh cause you look a bit older than that." Ryou chuckled. He nodded before running off after Kyoshi in whatever direction he was last seen at. He figured he was close to exiting the mall as he continued to run towards the exit. He spotted Kyoshi but cursed at the newly waxed floors as they were slippery. He ended up slipping and falling into one of the exit doors. He winced as he got up, looking around for Kyoshi. He wasn't badly hurt, just skinned in a few places on his knees mainly.

As all this was happening Kyoshi would already be out of the mall and heading towards the cafe, right now he wanted to just work and forget everything else but stopped as he heard running water and moved to find the source. He eventually came across a stream and smiled listening to the soothing sound of the running water "So calming" he say quietly

Ryou sighed as he rubbed his knees. He rolled up his pants to take a look before leaving them like that as he went to look for Kyoshi. He felt bad for whatever he'd said that he didn't understand went wrong. Maybe it was because he told Lawrence of the sugar thing. But really he had no choice because it was the only thing like that. No disease did things like that besides diabetes as far as he knew. He decided to head by the park to take a break as his knees would probably bruise later. First it hadn't felt that bad but he landed hard on them too.

Kyoshi stayed by the stream a little longer before heading back, seeing Ryou he had mixed feelings but seeing him walk strangely he ran towards him not worrying about why he was upset at him "Ryou! Are you okay" he call out hugging him close

Ryou nodded but first looked down when to Kyoshi. "I'm sorry for earlier. It was wrong of me to tell Lawrence. But really he would still want to know if we said nothing." He said honestly. "I kind of ran in the mall and they must have recently waxed the floor...very slippery. "He showed his scraped knees as proof. "They'll bruise in a few days probably because I landed on them." He stroked Kyoshi's hair. "Lawrence passed on the offer but said we'd have to come over for dinner some time and he'd try to steal you away." He smiled, at least hoping the Apology would work as he was really sorry.

"It's not that you told him it is what you said" he said looking down "you could have said I had a high metabolism so I use energy quicker" he say with a low sad tone, the word dependency when it came to sugar made him feel like an addict and it wasn't a pleasant feeling.

Seeing Ryou's legs he felt bad that he had caused it by running off "I am so sorry, perhaps we should give tonight a miss, I don't want you to be in any worse pain than you already are" his voice showing how apologetic he truly was "As for Lawrence he his a charming person, but I am in a relationship and I am happy with in it" he say kissing Ryou;s cheek holding him close

"It's not sore really. I should be fine. I just don't think before I speak sometimes. How about if I can make it back without feeling all sore we can go. But if not I'll just have to think of something else. won't I." Ryou winked before hugging Kyoshi and wondering where to go. "done with the mall for today?"

"I have some lotion that will help with swelling and stuff, I keep a supply of it just in case I collapse..." he say looking down "I blacked out a lot when I really young. At first my parents thought it was because I was getting to hot, but when it happened during winter they knew something was wrong and took me to the doctor" he say walking beside him "It turns out my metabolism is so high that it can eat through sugar quickly, so it's not as much as a dependency as my body just seems to use it far to quickly, it's also why even though my chart says I have plenty of sugar in my body I don't" he say honestly letting him know everything "I guess I should have one of those medical bracelets on or something that gives my details and what to do in an emergency" he say with a smile knowing he wouldn't be around Ryou all the time

"Okay deal, if you can make it back without feeling soar then we go to the fair, if not we find something else to do" his voice gentle, he was worried about Ryou but just didn't want to argue with him and the compromise was acceptable "Yeah I have work to do, and I got out of being given expensive clothing" huggin him back with a smile a smile

"well besides the dress I think." Ryou chuckled. He agreed though. "then we'll have to think of another word besides that. They should though. They have them for penicillin and diabetics so they should for all things." He agreed. "shouldn't run off like that too. If I'm being an idiot just tell me to stop and think before I speak. Okay?" He smiled, half holding Kyoshi up but also holding himself up too. His knees were a little sore but he was feeling better.

"I think he will not send it, it's awkward accepting things from you and we're dating let alone accepting gifts from someone I don't know at all" he say honestly on the matter "I think we should just say high metabolism, the doctors don't know what it is but they know I'm not diabetic as I eat sugar all the time" he say continuing to walk with him "I could never call you an idiot and could never be so mean to you" his words where low, he couldn't believe that he asked that of him

"All right then. My mother embedded those thoughts into my head when I was little." Ryou sighed. "so I expect the same from anyone I guess. I'll just have to try my best not to speak without thinking first then." He smiled. "my knees aren't too sore to walk with now. Getting used to the stinging."

He looked to Ryou and smiled faintly he felt so bad that he said anything on how he felt on receiving things "I guess I have to get use to receiving gifts from you..." he say biting his lip "It's the way things happen in a relationship right?" he inquire showing how naive he was when it came to this "This is my first relationship" he say in a low voice, kind of embarrassed to admit such a thing "You are doing fine now you know what to call it" he smiled hearing the stinging was going away "That's good I don't ever want to see you in pain" his voice showing it to be the truth

Ryou chuckled. "Yeah though not all the time only mainly on dates or anniversaries for those who manage over a year." He smiled. He was hoping that at least. "mhm I know. I don't like feeling bad either. Now you know how I feel when you get dizzy or worse." He kissed Kyoshi's forehead as they were on campus. "I was just lucky it was a scrape and no bleeding." He agreed.

Kyoshi smiled and took in the information "I didn't think it would be all the time it takes the specialness out of things" he say honestly looking at the rose Lawrence gave him "Beauty comes in simple things" he say gently his cheeks pinking. It was the first gift he had ever received that he didn't feel bad for taking.

Kyoshi looked down and nodded "I don't want you to be worried so that is why when I started to feel bad I let you know" he say with a smile continuing onto the campus, the blush deepening as he was kissed on the forehead "I'd never forgive myself if you started bleeding at it was my fault" he say with a saddened tone

"Don't think that it was all you. I was part of the blame." Ryou said as it was true. "so far it seems I might be good for going on rides as least." He chuckled as he pulled Kyoshi into their dorm. He let Kyoshi do as he wished with his scraped knees before they would decide on anything. "the bruises would probably be yellow at most, not really bad." Also not really sore unless one was to poke it.

Kyoshi just smiled and nodded to the statement that it wasn't all his doing, he still felt terrible; if he hadn't been so sensitive then this wouldn't have happened in the first place but it was still a sore point with him. "That's good, you'll need to win me a teddy" he say nudging him lightly as not to cause any harm.

Allowing him to sit down he went to his locked drawer and unlocked it bringing out some iodine and a clean cloth, locking the drawer and heading back to Ryou. Kneeling he brought up Ryou's trousers and breathed on the scrapes lightly as he unscrewed the top of the bottle and poured some onto the cloth "This will sting, brace yourself" he say allowing a few seconds to pass before swabbing the wounds "They will likely be a sickly purple yellow" he say looking at Ryou's knees carefully

Ryou winced when the stuff stung. He was glad when it stopped though. "That's not too bad though. Could be black and blue. That happened to me once. I'm terrible on stairs." He said honestly. "I had two left feet as a child. I was lucky to not break or sprain anything." He said as he showed off a couple scars by his knees. "we'll see what's there. Might get something better than just one bear." He smirked.
