Nov 25 (early morning) Coming back from the Fest | Survining Friday Members

[yellowcopycat]

Ryouta let's out a huge yawn as he crosses the threshold to their suite. "Home sweet home," he mutters and makes a bee line for the fridge. He's hungry and thirsty, and he might have had to much to drink. He's craving chips. And dip. He really wants dip. Or that hummus they got before they went and lived in the trailer for the fest.

Yama, is on his phone, as usual, is also issuing orders to the band. Making sure that everyone has everything, do they need anything replaced, why do they need things replaced, and the like.

[dame_tsuna]

[Ugh, Tsuna has not been looking forward to this conversation with their manager, but has to tell him sooner or later. The money aside, he can't go for long without an ID. So he sighs, and nervously approaches.]

Um, My wallet...got stolen. At the music fest. Sorry...

[He receives exactly the lecture he expects, 'how could you be so careless? do you really think I have time to deal with things like this? etc. Tsuna apologizes again, tries to explain himself, and accepts the lecture with as much grace as he can. It's not like he wanted some terrifying guy to threaten him and take his wallet. But he's also not going to argue with their manager. That's never a good idea.

Once the lecture ends and Yama leaves, Tsuna plops down on the couch with a sigh.]

[yellowcopycat]

[Kise walks over with several bags of chips, hummus, and sour cream dip and sits next to Tsuna]

Want some chips?

[He sets the bags on the counter and opens the dips and hummus]

You know who stole your wallet? We should call the police about it. And call the bank and get the cards cancelled if you had any.

[dame_tsuna]

Thanks.

[Tsuna shakes his head as he reaches for a chip.]

I don't know his name, but I think it was one of the Pride guys. Big, spiky black hair, scars on his face. He was really scary.

[Actually, Xanxus is pretty distinctive, so Tsuna is really sure he'd know him if he ever saw him again. He... really hopes never to see him again.]

Mr. Darzi said he'd take care of replacing everything and canceling my cards though.

[Yes, Tsuna does still call their manager Mr. Darzi.]

[yellowcopycat]

[Ryouta stills at the description. He can't even go into denial because this is in character for Xanxus

He pulls out his phone and opens up his album, and brings up a picture of Xanxus from the BassOFF]

Was this him?

[His tone is so, very, very tired]

[dame_tsuna]

[Tsuna nearly chokes on the chip he's eating. Wow, Ryouta came up with that fast!]

Y-yeah! That's him!

[But then the tired tone registers and Tsuna asks cautiously.]

Um, do you know him?

[yellowcopycat]

[He sighs]

I'm... sorta... um...

[He puts his face in his hands]

I'm sleeping with him.

[For a minute he wants to slam his head on the table, but he just keeps his face covered while he takes a deep breath.

Then dimly, he realizes this is really the first time he told anyone that he and Xanxus are... friends with benefits?]

He's an asshole, I'm sorry.

[He stands, ruffles Tsuna's hair and begins to dial Xanxus] I can get your wallet back. Or, well, I'll try.

[Except... it goes to voicemail. That's odd. He leaves a voice mail to call him back and rejoins Tsuna on the couch. And proceeds to stuff his mouth with chips angrily.]

[dame_tsuna]

[It takes a second for what Ryouta said to sink into his brain. At which point he cannot even help the way his mouth drops open in shock.]

EHH?? But you're ... so nice! And he's-!

[That's really the most shocking part. Because Xanxus was mean, violent, and scary, and Ryouta is this friendly, kind, big-brother type. But Tsuna cuts himself off with a hand over his mouth as he realizes how rude that sounds.]

Um, sorry...

[It's not really his business. And now he feels like he's put Ryouta in a bad position with someone he obviously cares about. What if they get in a fight about this? This Xanxus guy wouldn't get violent with someone he was going out with, would he? Disclaimer: Tsuna is still innocent enough to assume that sleeping with=dating.]

[yellowcopycat]

[Ryouta gives Tsuna a smile]

You can say it. He's an asshole.

[He dips a pita chip into the hummus] He's... nice to me. But, well, I haven't... [He sighs. Man, Xanxus was making him sigh in all the wrong ways]

He's fond of me, as much as he can be, I think.

[He leaned back, thinking.]

Hey, don't feel bad about this. You're my band mate. I've got your back, even if it's from someone I'm [He waves his hand dismissively] you know.

[Is he going to have to explain the concept of Friends with Benefits? Because, uh, that would be awkward.]

Early December Around Virgo HQ | Virgo Empoylees

[yellowcopycat]

Ryouta Kise can be seen around various parts of Virgo Properties; the gym, the business areas, the cafes, and the museums. He's posting the poster he made on Photoshop, he's actually proud of it because he sucks at art, and hoping there's someone else interested in this.

He's very excited about this idea! He really loves basketball. Almost as much as he loves music.

[giglio_madonna]

Well, this is too endearing to resist. Holding back her laughter, Luce sneaks up behind Ryouta as he's putting up a poster by the museum and taps his shoulder.

"Boo."

[yellowcopycat]

And, mostly because he was focusing on hanging up the poster, he jumps, letting out a little squeak of surprise.

"Luce!" he breaths out. "Uh, hi!"

[giglio_madonna]

"Hello!" Laughing, she takes a step back to give him some breathing space. She should probably keep from making heart attacks on the unsuspecting a habit.

"So I take it the emails with Blanche went well?"

[yellowcopycat]

"Sorta. They said we couldn't do it with Pride so it's going to be a Virgo only thing."

He tried not to sound too disappointed. But he had really hoped to go up against his friends from Pride.

[giglio_madonna]

"Ah, all the pity." Luce shakes her head. You'd think a Virgo vs Pride would be quite the thing. Put that ridiculous rivalry to use and make a little money off the awareness of it.

Oh well. Blanche's problem.

"So have you been putting these posters up everywhere?"

[yellowcopycat]

"Yeah!" He holds one out in front of him. He's very proud of them despite how simple they are.

"What do you think?"

[giglio_madonna]

"Very minimalist, dear, Blanche surely can't complain." Luce smiles, inspecting the poster and keeping everything in mind.

"But really, it's great. How long have you been at this?"

Saturday December 5th - Axis Night Club Live Band Karaoke | OTA

[yellowcopycat]

It's a Saturday night, and as usual Axis is having Karaoke. In a city where two of the biggest labels in music have their headquarters it's only natural that there be karaoke nights on a Saturday.

And that's where Ryouta is, at a table trying to pick out a song to sing.

[consocius]

Honestly, Sora doesn't pay that much attention to the clubs or the nightlife of the city. Usually Pride HQ has enough partying for him already, when and if he wants it. But it's nice that Ryouta's invited him to a club, especially for karaoke, 'cause that's something he hasn't done in quite a while. And it's always fun. So is Ryouta.

He arrives in casual clothes of course, dark jeans and a soft white zip-up hoodie with a t-shirt bearing the Nintendo star underneath. It's very easy to spot his friend after he walks in, since Ryouta's pretty tall. Although now he's sitting down, which gives Sora an idea.

With a grin on his face, he moves over to Ryouta as quietly as he can, though most of the crowd is making noise to cover his footsteps anyway. And when he gets directly behind the blond, he reaches around to cover the other's eyes. "Guess who!"

...Which is silly, since Ryouta invited him. But it's Sora, so silliness is to be expected.

[yellowcopycat]

You don't have to see his face to know that Ryouta starts smiling the moment Sora covers his eyes.

"Hmm..." Because he's just as able be silly as Sora. "Is it Luce?" But before Sora can answer he surges to his feet. "Nope! It's Soracchi!"

He envelopes Sora in a bear hug, beaming broadly. "Sit! I'm trying to figure out what songs to sing!"

[consocius]

He can't help but laugh and when Ryouta hugs him, he returns the hug happily. Maybe it's just his height or something, but Sora thinks Ryouta gives pretty awesome hugs.

With one leg tucked under him, Sora sits on a nearby chair, grinning. "So is this another competition or are we gonna get to sing some songs together too?"

He's hoping they can at least do one or two duets just because they're fun, but his mind helpfully reminds him that mostly competition could mean another reward kiss if it came to that. Which is both a scary and exciting thought and causes a light blush, even if he's still smiling.

On one hand, at least he'd be sort of prepared for the kiss this time, which meant he'd be able to gauge better whether he liked it or not. On the other hand, he's not sure whether he's ready for that answer or even which he's hoping for. What happens if he likes it? What happens if he doesn't? Ugh, too confusing, focus on the karaoke, Sora!

[yellowcopycat]

"We could do both," Ryouta said flipping through the song book. "I love singing duets. I really hate the fact I'm not even backing vocals in my band." He lets out a sigh. Ah, well. That was something else entirely.

"You want to do a duet first? And then have a couple songs each?" He smiles at Sora, a little flirty. "Since I chose the prize last time, why don't you pick?"

[consocius]

Well, Sora could understand that. He'd probably be a little bummed if he didn't get to sing in his band, either. Singing was fun. And singing with other people was the most fun, so he's glad about Ryouta's answer.

"Yeah! That sounds good." And... a prize. Right. He gets to pick. Okay then. "Uhm... I..." He laughs, it sounds a little awkward. But then he gets an idea and lights back up. "Oh, I know! Whoever wins has to tell a secret to the other that they haven't told anyone else."

The smile falters as he realizes. "...But I don't know if I really have one to tell, so... Maybe instead, if you win, you can..." He pauses, knowing what he wants to say, but it's... embarrassing. Whatever, here we go. "You can have the prize you got last time? Except, you know, with me participating too... this time..." Trailing off, he rubs the back of his neck, shyly.

[yellowcopycat]

Oh. Oh! Ryouta blushes a bit, thankfully it's hard to tell in this light. Did that mean... Well, only one way to find out.

"Sounds good to me," Ryouta said cheerfully.

He flips to the duet section of the book. "You got anything in mind for the duet? Like something from Disney? They have a lot of fun duets!"

While he paged through the book he thought about Sora's prize. A secret? Did he have any? He liked to think of himself as an open book. He's sure he could come up with something.

[consocius]

Sora's also avoiding looking directly at Ryouta for a few minutes, so he doesn't catch the blush. He finally looks again as his friend begins speaking, and lights up at the mention of Disney. Ah, yes. His weakness.

"I do like Disney a lot. Though I think most of those are like... love songs?" The question mark at the end can definitely be heard in his voice. Because he's not really opposed to singing a love song with... anyone, really, it's just a song. But it would be better if Ryouta was okay with that. "But that's fine with me."
