"How much stuff do you have Ritsu?" Hiroshi asked while carrying a giant box into Adora's house.
"Is it much?" Ritsu asked.
Hiroshi put the box in her house and came back out and looked at about fifteen more boxes. "Yes! Adora only had eight boxes."
"Oh." Ritsu said quietly.
Adora walked up to him and patted his back. "Don't be so sad. I need a lot of things to fill this super empty house."
"Is it really that big?" Ritsu asked while looking at his new home.
"Sure. It seems small on the outside but there's so much room on the inside." Hiroshi sighed afterwards while looking at all the boxes again.
"Well, let's get these boxes upstairs!" Adora said with a smile.
""Yeah." Hiroshi grabbed three large boxes and walked inside.
"That is so weird." Adora said quietly as she picked up a fragile box.
"What?" Ritsu asked while picking up two boxes.
"I don't know if it's just me, or Hiroshi is doing something to make himself stronger. He's been carrying crazily heavy amounts of things and yet he says it feel light." Adora slowly walked up the porch stairs.
"Something that runs through your family?" Ritsu asked while following her.
"Well, after a certain amount of years, a Lee member at that age gets a unique power other than the family curse." Adora looked at Ritsu.
"How come I didn't learn this when I found out about your family curse?" Ritsu questioned.
Adora smiled. "I just found out about it a couple days ago. When I was writing in my journal a letter fell out explaining everything."
"Okay then." Ritsu followed Adora through the house and up the stairs to his room, which was across from Adora's.
Ritsu walked into his room and saw Hiroshi putting a box on a bed.
"It came with a bed?" Ritsu asked, surprised.
"Adora bought it for you. It was extremely expensive too." Hiroshi looked at Ritsu.
Adora walked in and placed the fragile box on the bed. "What's going on?"
"Just talking." Hiroshi slowly walked out the door and then ran down the stairs to get more boxes.
"Thank you for the bed." Ritsu smiled.
"Huh? Oh yeah! Anytime." Adora smiled back. Her and Ritsu walked out of the room together to finish the unpacking, finally.
----------
"Oniguri!" Sanyu drooled as she skimmed over the cooking of Ritsu and Adora. "It looks…amazing."
"Thank you." Adora and Ritsu said in unison. They looked at each other and smiled.
Sanyu grabbed one oniguri and noticed Adora and Ritsu looking at each other. "You two going out yet?"
"What?" Adora said quickly.
"Come on! You have to be kidding! You two live together, knew each other practically your whole entire lives, and you're constantly making googly eyes at each other! Why are you not dating?" Sanyu was annoyed and excited.
Adora was shocked by Sanyu's sudden outburst but then thought over what she had said. "You know…I never thought about it that way."
"Wuh?" Ritsu looked at Adora.
"She does have a point." Adora looked at him. She looked back at Sanyu who was watching closely. "Nothing will happen until we are ready."
"Aw. You two are no fun!" Sanyu frowned and bit her oniguri. "This is good…" She said quietly, still sounding upset.
Adora smiled and sat down at the table and Ritsu sat next to her. "I'm starving."
"You always are." Ritsu chuckled.
"Not always." Adora looked at him.
"Okay." Ritsu chuckled again and bit an oniguri he took from the platter.
Sanyu smiled. "Whoa! He agrees so quickly! No arguments will ever happen between you two!"
The knob of the front door wiggled and everyone turned to look at it. The door slowly opened as a tired Hiroshi, still in his pajamas, walked into the house rubbing his head. He was looking at the ceiling and looked down the hall. "Hey Adora I'm starving! I'm gunna eat some stuff from the fridge!"
Everyone watched him as he walked into the kitchen and grab a glass and then the milk from the fridge. He pored some milk and drank some.
"…" Everyone watched him quietly.
Hiroshi put his glass down and walked into the room they were in without realization. He looked up and saw Sanyu, Ritsu, and Adora eating at the table. "…" He blinked a couple times and then sighed. "I just ruined my day by embarrassing myself didn't I?"
"No…" Sanyu said.
"How was your nap after helping us unpack all of Ritsu's things?" Adora asked.
"Wonderful." Hiroshi said sarcastically.
"Hello Hiroshi!" Sanyu smiled at him.
Hiroshi was slowly waking up and he showed a small smile. "Hey."
"You look beat. Was moving all of Ritsu's things in, that difficult?" Sanyu asked worriedly.
"No." Hiroshi thought for a second and looked at Sanyu. "Weren't you suppose to stay here and then after you left, Ritsu was suppose to move in?"
"Hiroshi!" Adora sighed. "You never listen, do you? We discussed this before anything happened. We agreed that Ritsu and Sanyu could stay since the house has more rooms then I thought."
"I must have been out of it." Hiroshi said with a yawn.
"Are you fully awake now?" Ritsu asked.
"Yeah." Hiroshi said slowly.
"Sanyu, why is it that you have only a bag of clothes with you?" Adora asked.
"Oh. Well, from my uncle I heard that my parents would be back in a week instead of a couple months." Sanyu responded.
"We should go to the mall!" Adora bellowed.
"Why?" Hiroshi asked.
"A gathering with everyone of course!" Adora smiled.
"Let's plan then." Sanyu giggled as Ritsu and Hiroshi looked at each other.
"It won't be for shopping really, just to hang out!" Adora said quickly as she saw the miserable looking brother of hers.
"Whatever you say." Hiroshi sighed and waved goodbye. "I better go get dressed into something decent."
"Let's go get ready." Sanyu squealed.
----------
"Adora!" Momiji leaped for Adora as she was watering a plant on the porch.
"Momiji?" Adora saw him flying towards her.
"Yay!" Momiji jumped and clinged onto Adora.
"Hello." Adora said, almost losing her balance due to the extra weight from Momiji.
"We're here!" Momiji said with a big smile.
"If it is 'we're' then where is the 'we' in that?" Adora looked around.
"What?" Momiji looked confused.
"Hm? Oh, sorry." Adora smiled. "I ask questions that are hard to understand sometimes."
"If you're wondering where the others are, then I will say that they're on their way." Momiji said while removing himself from Adora and stood next to her.
"Is everyone coming?" Adora asked curiously.
"Yes! Someone else is coming as well!" Momiji said excitedly.
"Who?" Adora asked.
"No. I cannot tell you. It is a surprise." Momiji grinned.
Adora sighed and looked towards the main gate and saw Haru coming inside, followed by Kyo. "They're here!"
Adora jumped off the porch and quickly walked over to them with Momiji right behind her. "Hey! Where are the others?"
"They're here, don't worry." Haru said softly.
"That's good." Adora smiled.
"I should be home working on my novel." Shigure complained while walking up next to Haru.
"Shigure!" Adora walked up to him. "Today is a fun day so no working."
"Anything for you." Shigure said gently.
"Hello Yuki. I still feel like we're strangers." Adora said while noticing Yuki come up next to Shigure.
"Today may change that." Yuki calmly said.
"Yes, today might." Adora smiled at him.
"Beautiful!"
"Oh no." Yuki said quietly.
"What?" Adora looked at him.
"Him." Yuki looked in the direction of a tall handsome man.
"You…are…so beautiful!" The man walked over to Adora.
He put a hand under her chin and examined her facial appearance, then walked behind her and put his hands on her hips. Adora stiffened and tried really hard not to turn around and slap some sense into him.
"You are beautiful! You have such a nice figure!"
"Thank…you." Adora said uneasily.
"Will you leave her alone Ayame." Yuki said angrily.
Ayame frowned at Yuki and moved so he was in front of Adora. He pulled out her hand and kissed it. "I am Ayame Sohma."
"I am Adora Lee." Adora said.
"You never listen, do you?" Yuki said coolly.
"Yuki. I'm just trying to be polite." Ayame said.
"…" Yuki turned away from him.
'Still an odd relationship between those two.' Ritsu thought while looking at the agitated Yuki and then the over curious Ayame.
"I wonder…" Ayame said while looking into Adora's eyes.
"What?" Adora was looking into his.
"What you would look like in my work outfit of course." Ayame smiled.
"Oh that's right! You own a store don't you?" Adora said happily.
"Yes I do. How would you like to work there?" Ayame said with sparkles in his eyes.
"What?" Adora blurted.
"Work at my store!" Ayame grinned.
"What an interesting proposal." Haru said with a small smile.
"Oh wow! Do it Adora!" Momiji said with a smile.
Sanyu peered over Momiji's shoulder. "What's going on?"
"Adora got offered a job my Ayame." Ritsu said calmly.
"Ayame?" Sanyu looked around and saw the tall handsome figure. "I still don't even know some of your names. Now I'm encountering another person?"
"Yep!" Momiji smiled.
"So what do you say?" Ayame looked at Adora seriously.
Adora saw that Ayame was serious and smiled. "Sure."
"Excellent!" Ayame said with a huge smile.
"Good for you!" Sanyu smiled.
Ritsu stepped over to Adora and gave her a satisfied smile that said he was happy for her.
"Well if you don't mind, I would like to go." Hiroshi said while walking up next to Sanyu.
"I'm with him." Kyo said.
"Ditto." Haru agreed.
"Let's go then." Ritsu said while directing Adora to the bus that was pulling up.
----------
"Wow! I can't believe I've never been to this one!" Adora said as she opened the front main entrance door to the mall.
"What do you mean? I thought you've been here before." Sanyu said.
"Nope! This mall just opened two weeks ago." Adora looked at all the store lights shining brightly throughout the mall.
"Then I suggest you two should start searching for new things to buy!" Shigure said while looking straight ahead at a lingerie store.
"Nonsense! It shall be the three of us!" Ayame smiled and cut in-between Sanyu and Adora.
"I think Ritsu and I should roam around a bit." Hiroshi said, walking into the mall, last.
"What about us?" Momiji asked as everyone turned to see Momiji, Yuki, Kyo, Shigure, and Haru.
"Momiji can come with us." Adora said while noticing Ayame was looking at her.
"Kyo and Haru and come with us." Ritsu said.
"I want to get to know Yuki better. Yuki, is that okay if you're with us?" Adora asked politely.
"It's fine." Yuki walked over into Ayame's group.
"I think Shigure will do fine on his own…" Ayame said while seeing Shigure drool over the lingerie store.
""Let's meet in the food court in two hours. Sound good?" Hiroshi announced.
"Yes. Now let's shop till we drop!" Ayame grabbed everyone in his group and off they went.
"Let's be miserable." Kyo said.
"No. We have to do something." Ritsu looked around and noticed an arcade. "Entertainment might work…"
"It will for me!" Hiroshi started walking towards the arcade.
"…" Kyo sighed loudly and followed Hiroshi, Ritsu and Haru following him.
----------
"That outfit would so work for you." Ayame said while looking at a dress.
"Really?" Sanyu asked curiously.
"Yes." Ayame looked at her.
"It would!" Momiji said happily.
"Oh." Sanyu smiled a little.
Ayame gasped. "Oh and look at this! This, works for you Adora."
"It's awesome!" Adora looked at the outfit.
"Go try those two on." Yuki said.
Sanyu and Adora went into the store, followed by the rest of the crew. Sanyu grabbed the dress that was hanging up and Adora grabbed the outfit hanging up. They both rushed happily into the changing rooms.
About five minutes later, Sanyu came out to show off her dress to the guys. The dress was pink and was an off the shoulder dress. It was fit to curve perfectly at the hips and wasn't uncomfortably tight. Passed the hips, layers of cloth made their way onto the dress as they stretched down to her shins. The dress worked for her, perfectly.
"Wow." Momiji said with a smile.
"It works!" Ayame smiled.
"Oh please." Yuki frowned at Ayame and looked at Sanyu. "It's nice."
"Thanks." Sanyu smiled.
Adora walked out and she went to speak but everyone was staring at her.
"What?" Adora blushed.
Adora was wearing a white kitted long sleeved, turtle necked shirt. The skirt she was wearing was black with red thin stripes, which definitely made it a plaid skirt. A blood red belt to match the red plaid stripes, was loosely placed around her hips. It dangled on the right side of her. It had a bright silver belt buckle that was so shiny it reflected anyone's appearance if they looked at it.
"Do you have a ribbon on you?" Ayame asked quickly.
"I have a black one…" Adora said slowly.
"Perfect! What a coincidence! Let me see it please!" Ayame quickly took the ribbon from Adora and pulled her hair up into a ponytail. He backed away from her to get a full view. "You're fabulous! I must say that that really suits you."
"Wow." Adora said with a smile.
"Yes! You see? I am pure genius!" Ayame said, in tears at the amazement of his work.
"Wear it out of the store." Momiji said.
"What do you think…Yuki?" Ayame looked at him.
"Adora looked very nice." Yuki said in reply.
Adora took a second look at Sanyu and realized how well the dress she was wearing, suited her. "Wow! Sanyu! That looks amazing!"
"Thanks! Look at you! Get a red skirt and you are in the Christmas spirit!" Sanyu said back.
"Thanks. That's actually a really good idea." Adora looked at her sandals. "I just realized we don't have the shoes for these outfits."
"You're absolutely right." Ayame pulled out a pair of silver thong, open toe high heels and white stocking with black thong, open toe high heels.
"That was…fast." Sanyu giggled.
"It was already in mind." Yuki stated.
Ayame handed the silver heels to Sanyu and the stockings and black high heels to Adora. "Put them on ladies!"
Adora went to the dress room and quickly slipped the stockings on and ran back out to put her heels on next to Sanyu on the bench. Sanyu stood up after putting her heels on and spun around.
"They're my size." She said, surprised.
"Mine are too." Adora stood up and looked at the heels. "I thought they wouldn't fit. You're a genius Ayame."
"It wasn't my doing." Ayame confessed.
"Oh?" Adora said while looking at Momiji.
"Don't look at me." Momiji said.
Adora looked at Yuki and smiled. "You then?"
"…" Yuki tried not to look at her.
"Will you stop trying to be Mr. Tough Guy." Adora giggled and walked over to Yuki and kissed his cheek. "Be yourself. I don't want to see a stiff side but the calm gentle Yuki. Please?"
"…" Yuki looked at her.
"Yes? No? Maybe so?" Adora smiled.
Yuki showed a very small smile that no one else could see. It wasn't on his lips, but in his eyes. Adora could see that he was smiling beyond his outside. Inside he was smiling, she had made him smile.
"You two look great! I would hug both of you…but I wouldn't want to mess up your outfits." Momiji said happily.
'Nice save.' Ayame, Adora, and Yuki thought.
"I don't think we should wear these outfits out of the store." Adora said.
"Why not?" Sanyu and Momiji asked.
"It's too fancy to walk around the mall with right?" Adora saw Sanyu and Momiji look at each other in agreement. "Plus, we should wear this on a fancy day," Adora smiled, "when we all have dates."
"I'm okay with that." Sanyu said.
"Then go change." Ayame smiled.
Sanyu and Adora ran back into the dressing room and got dressed back into their normal clothes. Both of them came out at about the same time with their outfits folded nicely.
"It's on me." Ayame smiled.
"No! I'll pay for it. It's my outfit anyways." Adora said.
"Yeah. We can pay for it." Sanyu agreed.
"Ladies. Please let me." Ayame asked nicely.
"Ayame." Adora said quietly. "If you want…"
"Adora." Sanyu looked at her.
"I wasn't going to keep arguing!" Adora said quickly.
Ayame took their outfits and shoes and walked to the register on the other side of the store. Everyone watched him walk up to the register.
"I feel so bad." Adora sighed.
"I do too." Sanyu frowned.
"Don't feel bad!" Momiji said while stepping in front of them.
"He was showing his kindness. Saying that you feel bad is like saying that him being kind is something wrong to do." Yuki said after noticing how down the girls looked.
"If you say so." Sanyu say Ayame heading back over to them with two bags.
"Thank you." Adora said.
"Anytime." Ayame grinned.
"Thanks." Sanyu said with a small smile.
"Does this come out of my paycheck?" Adora joked.
"Maybe." Ayame looked serious.
"No way!" Adora pretended to be shocked.
"Yes! Sanyu's will be removed from it as well! I'm such an evil boss!" Ayame let out a quiet maniacal laugh.
"You're really good at that." Sanyu laughed.
"Yeah. Compliment the bad side of me but not the good side." Ayame said sarcastically.
"We should go find the others." Yuki said as he looked at the clock.
Adora looked at the clock. "We have some time. Let's go roam around."
----------
"Damn it!" Kyo yelled angrily as he lost once again to Hiroshi at a racing game.
"Don't be so angry at the fact that you lost…for the twelfth time." Hiroshi smirked.
"Shut up!" Kyo bellowed.
"Have it your way." Hiroshi sighed.
"Hey Hiroshi. Want to play air hockey?" Ritsu said from behind them.
"You're on!" Hiroshi said. He got up out of the racing seat and followed Ritsu over to the air hockey table and they both inserted two coins.
"You ready?" Ritsu said.
"Whenever you are." Hiroshi replied.
Ritsu pulled the puck out of a slot and put it on the table. He looked around on the table and shot the puck directly into Hiroshi's goal.
"Are you sure you're ready?" Ritsu smirked.
Hiroshi got into a comfortable position. "Now I'm ready for you." He pulled the puck out of the slot in his goal and put it on the table, took aim and shot it. Ritsu hit it back and almost made another goal but Hiroshi managed to hit it out of the way. The puck shot back at Ritsu and made it into his goal.
"I see how you play." Ritsu grinned and pulled out the puck. He put the puck on the table and stood there for a very long time. Hiroshi was growing impatient and turned to see what was going on behind him. Kyo was racing a kid, who was apparently beating him due to all the cursing Kyo was making,
'Wait a little longer.' Ritsu thought while watching Hiroshi's every movement. Hiroshi turned back around quickly to see if Ritsu had made any sudden movements but he was still in the same stance he was in earlier. Hiroshi let out a huge sigh and looked in the direction of two other people playing air hockey.
'Now!' Ritsu thought. He shot the puck right into the goal. Hiroshi turned around to face him.
"Oh I see how it is." Hiroshi smirked and pulled out the puck. "Two to one. That won't be for long."
Hiroshi shot the puck but Ritsu shot it back. The people at the other air hockey table finished their game and walked over to Hiroshi and Ritsu's. Ritsu and Hiroshi were in a full on battle, shooting back and forth but no shots were made.
"One more point and I win." Ritsu said while shooting the puck with great force.
Hiroshi hit the puck back at Ritsu and scored a point. "Two to two. I just might win."
"I doubt that." Ritsu took out the puck and stood still.
"No. Not again. I'm not falling for that again." Hiroshi concentrated on Ritsu.
Ritsu let out a huge yawn. He looked at the people that came to watch their game and smiled. Hiroshi looked at the people and within that quick little turn of his head, Ritsu had hit his puck without looking and scored the last point he needed to win.
"I thought you said you weren't going to turn away." Ritsu looked at Hiroshi.
"Want to go again?" Hiroshi asked.
"Not really. I don't feel like playing anymore games." Ritsu sighed.
The people watching them had walked away to watch other people play games. Ritsu looked at a clock on the wall. "We only have about twenty minutes before we have to go to the food court."
"Let's just go now. If we get there early…then we can't be late and have anyone get mad at us." Hiroshi said.
"I just saw an interesting battle." Haru said while walking over to them.
"Oh?" Ritsu said curiously.
"Yeah. Kyo was arguing with a little kid." Haru chuckled. "It was fairly entertaining."
"Where is he right now?" Hiroshi asked.
"He's coming over here right now." Haru said, turning around to see Kyo heading in their direction.
"We're to leave right now." Kyo demanded.
"Okay." Hiroshi said.
They all walked out of the arcade and headed towards the food court. When they reached the food court there was hardly anyone there.
"Wow." Ritsu looked around.
"Pretty empty." Hiroshi said while scanning the court.
"Can we just eat already?" Kyo said impatiently.
"You can but I'm waiting for everyone else." Ritsu said. He walked over to a table and say down.
"I'm with Ritsu." Haru agreed and sat down at the table with him.
"Yeah. Kyo you can eat but we're going to wait." Hiroshi said and sat at the table with the other guys.
"Fine. I won't eat." Kyo walked over to the table and sat with them.
"So Hiroshi…when are you and Sanyu hooking up?" Haru smirked.
"What?" Hiroshi said, shocked.
"You heard me." Haru grinned.
"What makes you think I would go out with Sanyu?" Hiroshi said while trying not to make eye contact with Haru.
"You just seem like you would make a good couple." Haru said seriously.
"You think?" Hiroshi asked curiously.
"I would think so." Ritsu said.
"I hate this kind of talk." Kyo said.
"Kyo, you hate any kind of talk." Haru said truthfully.
Hiroshi and Ritsu tried not to laugh when Kyo looked at Haru angrily.
"I change of subject…" Haru smirked and looked at Ritsu.
"Yes…let's change this subject." Hiroshi looked at Ritsu as well.
"So…Ritsu. Have you and Adora ha—" Haru asked but was interrupted.
"Don't even go there." Ritsu said quickly.
"Oh…I'm going there." Haru grinned.
"Have you?" Hiroshi asked.
"No." Ritsu said loudly.
Haru sighed. "Why not?"
"Why would we?" Ritsu asked.
"Well, perhaps it's the fact that you live together, your one room from each other, you've made out, everyone knows you have the hots for each other…shall I go on?" Hiroshi said.
"Yeah we might live together but it's only been part of a day. We're one room from each other but for some reason I can't find it. We didn't make out, she kissed me so I wouldn't get harassed by girls and transform. We have the 'hots' for each other? We might like each other a little more then close friends…" Ritsu said.
"Stop trying to cover it up!" Haru said, laughing a little.
"I'm not covering up anything!" Ritsu blurted.
"What did you mean when you said you couldn't find Adora's room?" Hiroshi asked seriously.
"I can't find it. There's a room next to mine but she said it's a guest room and that's where Sanyu is staying. There's no other room in the house!" Ritsu replied, sounding aggravated.
"I know why you can't find her room. I can't tell you though. You'll have to talk to her about that." Hiroshi said.
"Back to the old conversation. So…you're still a vir—"
"I told you not to talk about it." Ritsu said.
"Oh come on! You've laid in the same bed together!" Hiroshi said quickly.
"How did you know?" Ritsu asked.
"Momiji spills easily. Now why aren't you guys even going out yet?" Haru asked.
"I don't know." Ritsu said honestly.
"Try today." Hiroshi said.
"Only if you ask Sanyu out." Ritsu said.
"No. You're not twisting my words against me." Hiroshi said quickly.
"Then I'm not asking Adora out." Ritsu stated.
"I don't want to do this. Sanyu and I still hardly know each other. You and Adora have known each other basically your whole entire lives." Hiroshi said.
"We were separated for ten years!" Ritsu said loudly.
"I'm tired of listening to this." Kyo said.
"Then go to sleep." Haru said to him.
"Don't force me to ask her out. Let me go at my own pace." Ritsu said slowly.
"Let's just forget about the whole subject." Hiroshi said with a sigh.
"Ritsu." Haru said while looking at him.
"What?" Ritsu looked back at him.
"You seriously need to get some act—" Haru was interrupted again.
"What did I ask you to not do?" Ritsu looked at Haru closely.
"Okay. I get it. Just tell me when you finally do." Haru smirked.
"Finally do what?" Adora peered over Haru.
"You're here." Ritsu said in relief.
"You look happy. Did you miss me that much?" Adora joked.
"Well I am happy to see you." Ritsu said.
"Hi all." Sanyu walked up next to Adora.
"Hey." Hiroshi and Haru said.
"Where are the others?" Ritsu asked.
"Right here!" Ayame walked over to them with Yuki on his left and Momiji on his right.
"I'm starving. Can we please eat now?" Adora said after she heard her stomach growl.
"Finally!" Kyo bellowed.
----------
"Hey Adora." Ritsu said.
"Yeah?" Adora said as she stepped onto the porch.
"Where's your room?" Ritsu asked seriously.
"I wanted to talk to you about that." Adora said as she opened the door and stepped inside.
Ritsu stepped inside and faced Adora. "Talk to me now."
"Well. You might have to see it to believe it." Adora turned and headed for the stairs.
"Okay then." Ritsu followed Adora and they headed up the stairs.
At the top of the stairs Adora stood against the wall she had not painted yet.
"This is…the way to my room." Adora said slowly.
"What?" Ritsu walked over to her.
"Give me your hand." Adora said quickly.
"…" Ritsu put his hand out and Adora gently grabbed it. Tingles went up her spine and tingles went up Ritsu's. She pulled him gently over to the area where the hidden handle was.
She put his hand on the small blood dot she put on the handle. Slowly she pushed his hand forward and the handle came out. Adora looked at Ritsu and he was looking at her. She slightly smiled and motioned his hands so it turned the handle.
"Push." She said calmly.
Ritsu did as he was told and pushed on the area where the handle was. The whole door cracked open and he pushed it completely open to reveal Adora's room.
"So this is it?" Ritsu asked.
"Yeah." Adora stepped inside her room, still holding onto Ritsu's hand and pulling him in.
"Why did you hide it?" Ritsu asked.
"I wasn't hiding it. I thought it would be cool to have a secret room. Besides, this is exactly how it was at Grandma's." Adora smiled.
"Nice bed." Ritsu was looking at Adora's California King sized bed.
"I really don't need all that room but I got it anyway." Adora said.
She let go of Ritsu's hand and did a belly flop onto her bed. "This bed is so comfortable. I feel like I'm on clouds. I love it."
"Oh well excuse me. I didn't mean to interfere with you and your bed." Ritsu joked.
Adora turned around and sat up. "Ah ha." She laid back on the bed. "Come feel how comfortable this is."
Ritsu walked over to her bed and laid next to her. "You're right. This bed is comfortable."
"You should feel how comfortable your bed is. I wasn't really planning on buying such an expensive one for you but I thought it would be nice to give you the best comfort." Adora faced Ritsu.
"My comfort isn't on that bed." Ritsu looked at her.
"It's not?" Adora asked.
"My comfort is here with you." Ritsu grinned.
"You love to flatter don't you?" Adora smiled.
"Maybe." Ritsu smiled back.
----------
"While I was out with Hiroshi, we stopped at a bookstore that has a café. The café area manager hired me!" Sanyu said excitedly.
"That's awesome." Adora said.
"I also talked to my Mom and she said she's home but I told her about Hiroshi and you and she said it would be great for me to be with friends. Hiroshi and I talked over it for hours and hours and my Mom and Dad agreed that I can live with Hiroshi!" Sanyu squealed.
"That's a surprise." Ritsu said sarcastically.
Adora nudged him in the side and he turned to her and smirked.
"I'm happy for you." Adora smiled.
"I'm going to go get my things." Sanyu said. She got up from the table and ran upstairs to get her stuff.
"That was very sudden." Ritsu said.
"Yeah I know." Adora said.
Sanyu came running down the stairs and stopped at the door. "Thank you so much Adora. Thank you as well Ritsu. I'm right next door if you need me." She ran out the door and shut it behind her. Ritsu and Adora watched her walk to Hiroshi's house through the windows.
"She seems extremely happy." Adora smiled.
"I think she really wanted to move in with him." Ritsu chuckled.
"You know what I just realized?" Adora looked at him.
"What?" Ritsu asked.
"I have a job. Do you have a job?" Adora asked.
"I work next door to Ayame's shop." Ritsu said.
"What do you do?" Adora asked.
"I work at a restaurant." Ritsu replied.
"No way! You're a waiter?" Adora asked surprised.
"Yes." Ritsu said.
"Awesome. In a waiter's outfit I bet you look ho—" Adora stopped herself.
"Hm?" Ritsu asked with a smirk.
"Nothing." Adora said quickly and she got up and headed for the kitchen.
"Tell me." Ritsu got up and slowly followed her.
"I don't have anything to tell." Adora moved away from the kitchen and started walking fast.
"Oh?" Ritsu smiled and followed her.
"I'm serious! I don't have anything to tell!" Adora laughed and started running.
