"I should apologise... confused or not... it was taking advantage" he said pulling his knees to his chest as he curled once more, some tears falling he didn't know what to think or say "I have never had a massage, nor a shoulder rub" he confess and at this moment he wanted one, he just wanted to know what was going on in his own head "my stomach knots and my heart beats faster..." he whisper silently to himself, closing his eyes he took a single deep breath "I wanted to share something precious with you" he blurted out shaking violently after he spoke his mind

"I'm pretty sure that counted very well. Now are you going to get out of that bed and get over here. Massages also help to relax your body and mind so it'll probably make you feel better too." Ryou didn't mind the kiss, he was happy to get such a gift. He waited for the boy to go and sit either on the floor by his bed, or in front of him before he'd help.

Kyoshi didn't move from under his blankets "It doesn't count I was a coward for not doing it while you where awake..." he clenched his eyes, he was sure that even though he shared his first kiss with Ryou he would never be able to do it while he was awake. "I'm fine I don't need a massage" he say softly, he now felt awkward around Ryou now, he was still confused because he always believed that it should be a boy and a girl in a relationship so the thought of two boys kissing was kind of a new thing to take in

"That's not entirely true...you didn't notice but I was awake before you even came over. I was going to roll over to sleep again but you came over." Ryou said honestly. "I insist. It'll also help you while you work too, not having a sore back from standing all the time." He tried to coax him out of the bed. He would have to get up eventually to go to work.

"It still feels like it, I kissed you without your consent" his voice was low and shaky, he was getting worked up over it, he was a person brought up in a home of strict morals "My back doesn't hurt it never does... I have a soft mattress that helps my back... besides I am use to working long hours" he say honestly, he wanted to try and get of the subject of the kiss he still had issues with it and trying to work out why he wanted to give a boy something so precious

"mmm it's almost time for work then I guess?" Ryou agrees to change the subject, at least for now. "just remember the offer is there. It's good for anything, even if you're not sore from working so hard." He goes off to pack his shoulder bag for when he goes out, with or without Kyoshi. He may follow him to work or follow after him.

Eye went open when he was it was almost time for work and moved so quickly he fell out of the bed and landed hard on the floor "Gods..." he grumbled as he winced holding his arm for a moment before standing and moved to make his bed, he couldn't stand things being messy. When it was done he looked through his wardrobe taking out a white shirt and loose trousers before heading to the bathroom to change.

After a few moment he came out with hair loose the three cords tied around his wrist, he would put them away later when Ryou was asleep, he didn't want to show him the box he kept him in for two reason's one he would likely offer to buy him a new one and two he felt embarrassed that it was so old and worn, but it was his and nothing would change that.

placing his uniform in the wash once more he moved to the fridge and took out his bento box placing it into his book bag befor taking the two costumes that had been given to him "Please for the love of the gods no more skirts" he whispered taking them down from where he had hung them. His eyes moved to Ryou "I will see you after work" he say moving to his bag and heading to the cafe.

"what makes you think I won't drop by for a visit? I'm slightly craving those cakes" Ryou says. "I'm all ready to go if you want any company? If not I'll be over in an hour or more." He says, waiting for Kyoshi's answer. He did want to go for the cake, but also to see what costume he'd be wearing too. If it was another short skirt he could try and get a longer one or a priestess outfit (kikyou ish).

He had also packed his sketchbook and camera in his shoulder bag, having some pocky and his wallet in there as well. They were lucky this neighbourhood was safe from crime and things like that.

Kyoshi was already out the door before the question was asked, but yawned the whole way to the cafe. It was only whe he entered the cafe and felt dizzy that he realized he hadn't had any sugar since breakfast and hadn't eaten at lunch "So not good... I forgot my sugar tablets too" He sighed and moved into the back hanging up his outfits before looking in his locker to see a maids outfit. With a sigh he quickly changed leaving his hair down, but used the white cord on his wrist to tie it close to the bottom just to stop it getting in the way when he needed to serve or clean

Riyo decided to check up on Kyoshi since he must have left before he heard the question. He also routed around for sugar cubes or something, wondering if he had any tablets with him or where they were. He looked around, wondering where Kyoshi would put them.

Kyoshi continued to work yawning occasionally, even pausing at moments he felt dizzy but all in all he didn't allow it to effect him, he could only hop his break would come up so he could buy something sweet to go with his bento box. As he served people he got complimented on his looks, and manners a few people tipping well for such things. He was happy for the tips but was unsure on how such things worked after all this was only his second day here and he never seen any other person get tips

Ryou looked all over, giving up as the only draw that was left was locked. He just took some of his fudge over with him. He walked in, noticing the table he liked was free. He sat there, watching around. He then noticed Kyoshi, waving a bit. He almost laughed at the maid outfit, at least it was a little longer than the skirt had been. He should be thankful for that at least.

Seeing Ryou he gulped, it was even worse that he was dressed like a maid but wore a smile and walked over, bowing politely "Welcome, is there something I can get you?" he would ask in a sweet tone, bringing out his pad and pen he felt awkward like this but the tables in this section where his responsibility and so had to serve them no matter how he felt

Ryou thought for a moment. "The usual cheesecake. When's your break? I brought fudge." He noticed how he was still not fully recovered from the incident fully. He also noticed how embarrassed he looked when he had to come over. "at least the dress isn't as short as the skirts." He gave him a smile before also ordering a coffee.

Kyoshi jotted down the order and bowed once again "Is there anything you would like to drink?" he ask once again in a pleasant manner, he blinked when he asked about when his break was and to tell the truth he didn't know as he hadn't been watching the clock, he had been far to busy to. Soon his hand went to his head as he felt dizzy once more standing still for a few moments he got slightly paler "You're right it is lucky, but I'd rather be wearing trousers" he say quietly before jotting down the coffee order with another bow he elegantly twirled and moved to get his order, returning a few moments afterwards with a bow before placing his order on the plate "I would like to inform you of a cosplay night that is happening next Sunday, it begins at ten am and finishes at seven thirty" he say placing a flyer down "If you have anymore inquires please don't hesitate to ask" with one more bow he moved to another table which had just sat down

Ryou chuckled at the twirling, looking at the flyer. He wondered what he could possibly do since he didn't have a full costume for himself. He only ever had bands and tails to go with them. He only had cat, bunny and a few variations of each. He hoped the break was soon, that way Kyoshi could get his dosage of sugar he'd need to feel better.

After serving the other table he came back to the one Ryou was at and sat down "I have a fifteen minute break now" he said smiling, though his eyes went to the flyer "I work that day..." he say with a sigh and bit his lip lightly as he remembered the other saying he didn't have any costumes "I could make you a costume if you like" he placed a plate on the table that held some cheesecake, his bento box and a cup of green tea and began to eat quietly

"Here. Have some of this too. It'll sink in faster." Ryou places a cube of fudge on the plate. "Really? How bout after we do some of that homework tonight we come to an agreement on something easy that could be done in a quick amount of time like that?" Ryou would have hugged him from across the table but there were too many people there and he was still working too. He also wished he'd admit to himself why he kissed Ryou. Ryou had a pretty good guess.

Kyoshi looked at the cube of fudge and nodded to the question "I can get you a complex costume done in 5 days with ease" he say before moving to a rice ball and eating it, though in hearing about getting some homework done he nodded "Good idea to get some of it done everyday" he yawn a little before going back to finishing his riceball, he wanted to go back and sleep but no such luck, he had to work until closing time

Ryou nodded. He wondered if he talked with the manager if he could get Kyoshi to do a cosplay that matched the same series his would be of. "mhm, that way there's time to do other things and not leave that til last minute like others would." He said, finishing his cheesecake and coffee. He didn't feel like going just yet though.

"I never leave anything to the last minute, I let those who would rather go out partying do that" he say before taking a sip of his tea, he felt terrible at the moment, he knew he shouldn't have came to work today but it was needed to survive, feeling slightly dizzy he placed the cup down before he dropped it his eyes closing as he got his bearings once more, opening his eyes he looked to Ryou's plate and cup "Would you like some more?" he asked quietly, his hand moved under the table and gently slid into his a light blush in his cheeks, how he wished he had his fan at the moment

"looks like you should have more. Though I think I'll try a few of the different squares and a hot chocolate this time. Too much coffee and I'll never sleep." Ryou offers a little more of the fudge too since it was like eating pure sugar. "It's a good thing we get a week from classes then. I'm sure we'll probably finish that homework within a few days at most."

He stood up placing the cheesecake, bento box and tea cup onto the tray and stood "I'll be back with your order in a moment" he say smiling, turning to move a way, he still had about ten minutes of his break left but he didn't feel right eating in front of another if they themselves where not. Stopping he looked to the other "We can get this work done within three days max, by what I read on the grades page 50% of the school average on 55%, 20% of the students average at 60%, 20% of students at 70%, 8% of the students at 75%, 1.5% of students got 85% and .5% got 90 and above" he say, biting his lip he placed his tray back down jotted down the order and moved to retrieve it.

After a moment he moved back with six different squares and a large cup of hot chocolate, placing them on the table quietly he bowed "Thank you for ordering" he say smiling his yes closing as he spoke making him look more innocently cute, once formalities had once again been done he sat down and began eating the cheesecake

When Kyoshi had gotten up to retrieve his second order, he then notice his hand had been held. He smiled a bit when he noticed that. "and that's why we're going to get that done in no time flat." Ryou chuckled, knowing they were both in the .5% of the school. Even if Kyoshi was a little more advanced but not by too much. He sampled the squares, liking all of them. He wondered what other desserts and things were good there. He also wondered what was good there that was not a dessert or drink. While he was thinking this over, his hand subconsciously moved to Kyoshi's leg. It was more than likely seeking out a hand that may not have been there a second time.

He looked to him and smiled "I wish they would give us something a little more challenging" he say with a sigh before taking another bite out of his cheesecake, he noticed the texture and the flavors for the first time "My cheesecake is better" he whispered, the flavors where a little bland for his tastes and the base hadn't set quite right "I wonder if they buy these in" though snapped out of it as he felt A hand on his leg his hand going wide and his face going pink, though he tried not to make a scene

Ryou stopped when he noticed Kyoshi stiffen a little. "Yeah I think so too. The squares aren't bad though. Though they probably don't have enough time in the day to make it from scratch." He removed his hand and let it slip back onto the table. "hey think of it this way. At least it'll be done quicker. Though they should really test us on our levels so they know what to use."

Kyoshi tried to breath normally, and speak but his mind was on the hand that was on his leg, he felt uncofortable but at the same time he was happy. once again the confusion kicked in as his stomach twisted and his heart beat faster, his cheeks flushing 'I wish I had my fan and had trousers on' he think to himself, he felt humiliated once more dressed as he was.

"P-p-perhaps I should offer to make it for them" he say feeling Ryou's hand moving from his leg "It will be done quicker..." his eyes want to the fudge for a second before going to Ryou "If they done that the school would be empty." he say with a smile, but it vanished as he remembered everyone but him was technically paying to be at the school

"how long do they normally take to make? That's true too...but I mean for us at least. But I guess they can only teach us so far ahead of everyone else already." He chuckled at the stutter. He offered the fudge Kyoshi had looked at. It was good, made by a homemade way. He bought it from the corner store by the school all the time. "wonder if they'd let you blend in with other costumes for the event?"

"I can make the things they sell here with in an hour, and then it only takes two perhaps three hours to set a cheese cake, the squares can be made in fifteen minutes and will be set in about forty-five minutes to an hour" he say with a yawn, taking the piece of fudge and ate it "True, but they should know our level by our entrance exam, I feel dumbed down" he confessed, knowing Ryou likely felt the same way "If someone specifically asks one of us to wear from a certain anime, and a certain character then we have to" he say answering the question he turned and pointed to a staff cosplay request form that was just being put up "I have five minutes till I have to return to work" he say leaning back a little on his chair

"Hmm maybe I could help you out once we decide on one for me? You think you'll be good until your next break then?" Ryou asked, looking at the clock on the wall. He wondered what else was on the menu that was actual food. He might come back later for actual food before Kyoshi gets off work. He was full of sweets now so he would have to work that off...perhaps with a good swim or something.

"Do you have a cosplay in mind? I could pick up the material on the way home" he say with a smile "Oh one minute" he say standing taking his tray he moved back and spoke to the manager for a few minutes before heading into the back changing into his normal clothes. looking to the manager he bowed "They will be ready by six tomorrow morning" he say politely before moving back to Ryou "Ready to leave when you are" he giggle innocently

"thought you'd never ask." Ryou brought out a few Loveless manga and placed them on the table. It seemed simple enough really. He also coaxed Kyoshi to read them soon too. He also said they weren't bad or anything as he showed the rating. "so what do you think?" He said putting the books back. "How did you get off so quickly?"

He looked to the manga and smiled "I'll just need to get a few images and can your measurements and I can start on the costumes" he say with a yawn, he moved his hand to his mouth as he done so "I said I would make some delicuous cheesecake and other treats for the store... but I would have to get off early to meet the order" he say honestly sitting at the table for a moment allowing the other to finish of what he had "Manager will come collect them at six am" he say with a smile "if I do well, then I will get less hours and will get paid more for the sweets"

"ah. so your off now so you can get a head start on making them then I guess?" Ryou finished up, sipping the last of the hot chocolate before he was ready to go. "I'm ready now." He chuckled. He figured Kyoshi was going to look at the fabrics first. "you need any ingredients for that stuff to get before we go back to the dorm?"

"Yes I'm off, a-are you disappointed?" he say his voice sounded a little sad, he offered to do such a thing so he could get off and spend more time with Ryou, the fact he didn't have to wear a dress was also a nice added bonus "You need to pay your bill then we can get going" he say standing not allowing the chair to drag once standing he pushed the chair in just as quietly "I need fabric, I need to send some money back home and I need ingredients" he say moving towards the door

Ryou nodded as he went up to the cashier and paid the bill. He also took a take-out menu to see what other foods they had. "Alright, sounds good. Nah we can talk more now. More than just a 15 minute break. How many do you get now since the nurse?" He asked as he walked alongside Kyoshi. "how about we head to the fabric place after you do the mailing thing then get the groceries last. That way they'll stay fresher and not go bad."

Kyoshi waited at the door while Ryou paid the bill "Ryou, if you have thought about something you want me to wear at the cosplay day then you best place it up... my employer says many of his regulars have been complementing me" he say with a light blush "Ummm... I still get three breaks, still fifteen minutes long but I get something sweet with each break" he say waiting to see what Ryou would do "That sounds like a good idea, perhaps even a walk around... I'm new to the area still" he confess, he still hadn't got his bearings around the town yet

Before Ryou left he filled out the form saying that Kyoshi would be a perfect Ritsuka to his Soubi. "alright then let's go. Hmm how about We do the first two then I can show you what I know of the place and the scenic routes too. Then we go grab those groceries?" He pondered, walking out now as he liked that ides. "Oh. I'll have to compliment you more then. Can't have them getting ahead of me now can I?" He winked.

Kyoshi watched as Ryou wrote on the staff cosplay form, and nodded to what he said "That sound like a good idea, I like scenic areas" he say with a smile "I have found they have a lot of history" he brought his hand up as he yawned a little "Y-y-you don't have to, I am not worthy of such praises" he say as he lowered his head, he truly believed the words he spoke

"But I don't want them thinking they can have a chance at my roommate." Ryou teased, walking alongside as they went to mail off the money. He lef Kyoshi to the fabric place and spent almost an hour picking out the necessary fabrics and colours. He then took him on a tour of the park and around the area. "so. What do you think?"
