Authors note: I really don't know where I'm going with this one. What was suppose to happen was I was suppose to just clean up A New Law and be done with it and then I changed it too much. I don't want to take down what someone else enjoys, but I didn't want this to go to waste... I have this chapter and another written up. I'll share and everyone can let me know if I should keep going. :) I have plans to just do a series of one-shots based off of A New Law, so there are going to be similarities but everything is going to be really different. The good news about this is if I get caught up in school again I don't have to worry about leaving any of you hanging because they all can stand on their own.
Both Risa and Otani worked well together. To everyone looking at their relationship from the outside, all anyone ever saw was the fighting and the height differences between the people thought that those two things together meant that Risa and Otani were a mismatched couple, and admittedly they had a point. The two of them fought like cats and dogs. People were quick to think that the two of them didn't… fit both emotionally and physically.
However, those that saw these fights were people who didn't know the couple that well.
Not long after Risa and Otani graduated, Risa became a model to help pay for school. It was only meant to be a part time thing so that she could pay the bills, but thats not what ended up happening. Risa had the right look and she had an amazing personality for being a model. Before Risa knew what was happening, she was not only paying off school, but she was also saving money on the side.
Otani went to college and worked to put himself through school, but quickly found out that going to school and holding a part time job were making his grades suffer. Where Risa had no problem keeping her work life and school separate from one another and maintaining a balance; Otani had issues with stress and he found that he either worked too much and didn't pay enough attention to school, or he didn't go to work and went to school and he got fired. Otani thought about pulling back on his hours at school but Risa wouldn't hear any of it. Risa knew better than anybody that Otani wanted to be a teacher, she knew it was his passion. She suggested that she help him pay for college.
She probably should have picked a better time to bring it up. Bringing up a money situation at a bikini shoot might not have been the best time to talk about something like that. But Risa got excited about the idea of being able to help out someone she loved, and she had all this money that was just lying around and she was making more. She had liked the idea.
They had argued over that rather publicly that day. The two of them went back and forth.
Otania said that she was overstepping. Risa told him he was being a pain in the ass. A makeup artist unwisely chose a moment in the middle of all of that to interrupt and almost was ripped apart.
All anyone would have ever seen or heard about this living situation and money issue would be what they put on display. Risa told Otani that she could help pay for school, they had argued and all anyone saw that day was a girlfriend trying to help her boyfriend and her boyfriend getting angry. Some people thought that Risa was trying to buy Otani's love. Some people saw the argument and saw that Otani was being ungrateful. Other's didn't know how they had got together, and others just wondered how they had sex.
What no one saw that day, was how Otani has opened up in bed to Risa about feeling like a failure. What no one knew was that after the arguing stopped that day Risa realized that she had once again got too excited about something and didn't think before she brought it up. No one saw the apologizes. No one saw how the couple maturely deciding they weren't ready to go there just yet. What people did see of the couple was how Risa had thrown a plate of food at Otani's head when he had called her his sugar momma.
Otani went through another semester of college and when he completed his semester and found that he got dismal grades, he talked to his girlfriend and the two of them came up with a compromise. Risa would help him pay for school and it would be a loan, they also decided that they would move in together and cut back on expenses since they were both living on their own at that point and it made no sense to live apart anymore.
Otani and Risa's problem was and would always be that they were two excitable people who were dating one another. They fed off of each others energy and they got really excited really fast about things. The only problem the two of them really had was that they were both too much alike and it lead to arguments, but the arguments were meanless really and they didn't affect the couple. People would have seen that if they were the type of couple to be affectionate in public, but they weren't.
Risa and Otani had both tried many times to turn into a couple that kept a low profile. They both attempted to be "normal". It continually irritated both of them that they were known for their bickering and antics. But for better or worse the two of them were going to be the couple that people remembered, and over the years they had come to accept that they would never be normal and they would never be low profile.
ENDISH… :)
R/R as always! Please and Thank you! LOL.
