The gentleman thing.

This is a YAOI (boy and boy relationships) Kai x Ray. Tyson x OC (Maylyn and some others) Max x OC.
"Talking"
'Thinking'
Max and Tyson walked Ray as far as they could letting him walk the rest of the way to work by himself once they came to their homes. Max and Tyson didn't live that far apart from each other including Ray's house, making things easy for the three boys if they wanted to see each other.
'Cause I'm broken when I'm open. And u don't feel like I am strong enoughâ€damn I really need to get another song in my head,' Ray thought as he looked up to see that he was now standing in the door way of his own personal hell, also known as work. "Here we go again." Ray sighed and pushed open the door.
"Hey ya Ray," a chirpy voice said behind the counter.
"Hello Mariah," Ray said with a smile as he made his way out to the back of the store.
Once Ray was at the back of the store he looked at his roster for the week, noticing that he didn't have to put up with the store manger that he hated he smiled.
"What has made you so happy?" That same sweet voice asked.
Ray looked up to see the very attractive blue haired girl. "Oh nothing I have just realised something."
"Well I've realised something to," she said with a smile as she watched Ray stand up. "I can't do front counter by myself."
Ray and Mariah worked hard right up until the last customer had left.
"Well I've finished my sift," Mariah said as he took off her cheesy Macca's hat, and ran her fingers through her long blue hair. "When do you finish Kon?"
Ray finished serving his last customer then looked up to the nearby clock. The clock said that it was quarter to ten. "I finish in fifteen minutes."
"Fair enough, I'll see you at school then," Mariah said with a smile as she went towards the back.
Ray smiled; he had always liked Mariah as she always talked to you no matter your status at school. She was one of those people that didn't care who you were or what you are, she will always talk to you.
"Ray!"
Ray turned to see that Max and Tyson were standing in the doorway of the Mac Donald's store. "What are you two doing here?"
"A nice hello, would have been better," Tyson said as he sat down at one of the tables.
Max looked at Tyson then to Ray. "We came to say hello and to see how business was. So how's business?"
"Fine I guess," Ray, said slightly confused. "I thought your grandfather said that you could come out on a school night anymore," Ray asked Tyson who had now made his way over to the counter.
"Well yeah he did say that but I gave him the fast one," Tyson said with a smile.
"In other words?" Ray asked Max who had known Tyson a lot longer then he had.
"In other words, Tyson told his grandfather that he was coming over to mine for study."
"Tyson study. His grandfather should know that he doesn't study," Ray said looking at the clock. 'In five more minutes I can go home and go to bed.'
"Well dude how much longer will you be," Tyson asked getting sick of waiting around.
"Do you ever quite your bellyaching?" Ray asked with a sigh.
"Ray you have got to remember Tyson is the world Champion of Bellyaching," Max said with a laugh as Ray and him gave each other a high five.
"And don't you forget it," Tyson said as he crossed his arms in front of him and went to sit on a seat to wait for Ray.
Ray looked at the door to see that Jim a boy that he worked with had come through the door. "Hey Jim."
"Oh hello Ray, got a late sift I see," he said with a smile.
"No, I was just waiting for you so I didn't leave the counter untended," Ray said as he took off his Macca's hat and let the bangs of his raven black hair fall back into place.
"Well alright you might as well get out of here then."
"Thanks," Ray said as he looked over to Max and Tyson. "Hey you two I'll be back in a minute."
Tyson waved him off as he was mesmerised by what Max was saying to him.
Ray sighed and walked to where he had left his stuff.
"Asshole," a voice said from down a corridor that led to the manager's office.
"Is that you Mariah?"
"Yeah Ray it's me," Mariah said as she walked over to Ray who was now putting on his jacket.
"What seems to be the problem?" Ray asked as he knelt down to put everything in the backpack that he had brought with him.
"Well my phone went dead, and I just went in to ask Julian if I could use the work phone and he just told me no." Mariah went and sat on the bench that was near Ray's locker. "I don't know how I'm going to get home now."
"Here use my phone," Rai said as he got his phone out of his bag and handed it to Mariah.
"Are you sure?"
"Totally. Plus I don't want you to be hitch hiking your way home," he told her with a smile.
"Thanks Ray," then went about typing in the numbers that she needed.
"I'll be waiting out the front ok," he said leaving her.
As Ray made it out to the front of the store he still saw Max and Tyson in the same state that he had left them moments before. "Hey guys, looks like I will be here a bit longer."
"What?! Have you gotten yourself in trouble with Julian again?" Tyson asked as him and Max stood up.
"No, I borrowed my phone to Mariah."
"What did you do that for?" Tyson inquired.
"Well she needs to get home and hers died so I was doing the friend thing."
"Well how gentleman like of you," Max said with a smile.
"Why thank you Maxie, I do what I can."
"Well I guess that was nice of you," Tyson said looking outside. "Do you want us to wait for you Ray?"
"Nahh you better go. It's getting late and I wouldn't trust those clouds," Ray said as he to looked out and saw that it looked like it was going to rain.
"Alright dude, have fun," Max said as he held open the door for Tyson.
"We will see you at school tomorrow," Tyson said as he walked out the door, with Max and him beginning to walk home.
Ray to went outside, but his reason was to get some fresh air and to wait for Mariah.
