Sorry for the delay... But I still think no one reads this anyway because of the ups and downs... Anyway, with the Midterms happening where I am, and the fact I was told to do some free tutoring for my friend, that ate up most of my time.
"So, what do you think of his acting?" asked Tsuki, arms crossed tightly as he rolled his shoulders, annoyed at the weight on his shoulders. He shuddered as he felt the wind blow into his clothes, and shivered even more as a few snowflakes hit his head.
Keiko was still mesmerized, gaping at Ren as he went off of the set, and greeted the others. He seemed so natural when he was acting, it didn't even look like it was acting. He would become a role, almost like he was the person himself.
"It was amazing! He must be the best actor in the world!" she exclaimed, giving Tsuki a starry look.
Tsuki stared at her for a second, and soon turned around laughing. Using a "paw" to muffle his laughter. He was soon on the ground, ignoring the cold snow that was there, and rolled onto his back, chortling.
Vidka rolled her eyes, but she muffled her laughter by biting her lip.
"What?" Keiko raised an eyebrow. She was completely clueless to what was happening. She growled when the laughter seemed to not die down after a long period of time. "HEY! What's so funny?.!"
Tsuki choked his laughter, making him look like his stomach was doing jumping jacks. "You! Ren happens to be the best actor in Japan. You were this close," he shortened the gap of his fingers to her, "to who he really was, but you were kinda off on his popularity..."
"So?" Keiko playfully slapped his shoulder, giving him a goofy grin. "At least I was right about the President being suspicious when he-!"
Tsuki paled. "Don't talk about it..." He went down, and sat with his arms on his head. If you looked really closely, you might have seen a dark cloud hover over his head, raining down on him thunderously.
Rolling her eyes at this, Vidka patted Tsuki with the stuffed paw that was a part of her apparel. "Don't worry, Tsuki! You couldn't pass up an offer of having a buffet!"
"Don't remind me..." he moaned. "But then again, it was quite yummy," he added.
Somehow, in the middle of the conversation, Ren was able to pop in without any of the three knowing.
"Hey, why didn't the President give you jackets?"
"AH!" They jumped. "Don't sneak up on us like that!"
"Sorry... but I don't think the President should have just gave you outfits like that, especially to the girls."
Looking down at them, he saw that they were mainly wearing clothes that you can only say were like those that you might wear to a fancy party—particularly a wedding. The girls were wearing sleeveless dresses with ruffles at the front of their corsets, and it faded out when it went past their stomachs. The white of the dress was blended with a flowery pattern on the side of the dress's skirt, giving it a more warmer feeling. The back was backless—the horror of the backless dress!—and it wasn't even covered with straps. This just gave men a sight at the fact they were wearing no bras...
Vidka was embarrassed by this the most. She so dearly wanted a shawl at the very least!
Keiko... she didn't even know what a bra was! Of course, she was always wearing one from the beginning... but having no education that involved her seeing what the things were made it seem like she was slow. If you asked her what colour the dress was, she probably would blank out as it would be the first time she ever saw the colour in her life. She was, after all, blind in the beginning.
Tsuki had a more easier time, seeing as he was a guy. Being a guy meant the costume for a wedding wouldn't be too overboard like it would be for a girl. All he was wearing was a tux.
For everyone, there was a catch to what they also had to wear—animal ear, tails, and paws.
"I knew right away that there was something suspicious of how he offered you a treat. If you go somewhere, we have to follow you so you won't get in trouble!" blamed Keiko.
"Hey! I didn't eat in the morning yet! And for dinner all I got was party food last night. And I was too worried over you!"
"Doesn't mean you have to believe everything everyone says!" She straightened her back and talked in a low voice. "I will offer you a feast for you, as I can see your appetite matches a friend of mine. I thought he would come tonight, but it seems like he has some problems getting here. The food might go cold, but would you like some?"
"There is no way someone can be that nice!" she shouted again, going back to her regular voice.
"I can't help it," whimpered Tsuki, going to switch to his puppy eyes, "if someone offers it so kindly."
She didn't fall for his pleas, even for the puppy eyes. After all, how was she suppose to know those were puppy eyes and that you were suppose to feel like you were the one that was wrong?
"You should have wondered why he would say that! After all, he even said that was for someone else. Someone. How could there be someone with the same ridiculous appetite as you?"
Hitting his hand to his chest, he whimpered some more, only now, it was more playfully. "You hit my heart... Ow... the arrow pierced really good." He fell down.
"What arrow? I didn't..."
Of course, everyone soon laughed at Keiko's adorable confusion over things. When she realized what they meant, she would smile and input the information in her head.
Now... if only Ren can make all the men forget that they saw Keiko in a backless dress...
"Ren! Are you okay?" Keiko knelt down to his level, surprised when he suddenly collapsed when they entered his apartment.
"Yeah... I'm okay," he mustered the reassurance out. This only made Keiko worry some more.
"No, it's not!" she exclaimed, tugging on his elbow. She let out a few tears, surprising him. "I saw the humans today, and they didn't look like they had... had... this colour!" She pointed to his cheek.
"You mean red?"
"Red... red..." she muttered to herself, nodding her head as she memorized another new word and its appearance. "Anyway, why do you look like this? You seemed fine this morning."
"Maybe I caught a cold? Probably from being outside..."
"Oh! Then... does giving me your jacket have anything to do about it?" she asked, looking worried. "The humans were wearing those too... Does it do something for you too?"
"It's because..." he collapsed again.
"Wah!" her hands went up as his head went on her lap. "Ugh... he's heavy! Why did Vidka and Tsuki have to leave at a time like this? I thought Tsuki couldn't do paperwork as he keeps wrecking all of the files!"
She bit her lips, shaking as she saw her victim turn more red. "Gah! He's getting more hotter!" She panicked some more. "Calm down... calm down... just..." Her eyes hazed as she took off the paws that she was wearing. She was still wearing her dress, along with the jacket Ren lent to her. Even inside those sweaty paws, her hands still felt cold. Letting her fingers finger around his bangs, she allowed herself to place a hand on his forehead.
"Get better... get better."
And with that, they both fell asleep.
Ur... Where am I? Ren opened his eyes and found himself in his bed, wearing his pajamas. Huh? I wasn't wearing this before, and I don't remember changing. He felt his forehead, and felt it had cooled down a bit.
I don't know what happened, but I feel a lot better.
He went off of his bed, and walked out of the door. As he got out, he was hit by a light scent. Is that... congee? He explored to the kitchen, and found Keiko still in her dress cooking. She was wearing an apron, and looked at a cellphone half the time.
"So... I move this thing around like this," she stirred, "and it's called st...stirring, if I do it like that."
Ren chuckled at this. "Yep, it's called stirring."
She gasped at his sudden comment. Then she relaxed, and jumped right at him. "You're okay!"
"Of course I'm okay. It was only a slight co-" he was cut off as she felt his forehead. He saw that she had to tippy toe to get to there, and it only made her strapless dress go down even more, revealing her...
Ren gulped as he avoided his eyes from wandering down to see her cleavage. It would only lead him to have thoughts of taking that dress off of her.
"It cooled down. Good." she went off of him, and had both of her hands on her lap as she blushed. "I found this," she pointed at the phone, "and accidentally pressed something. Luckily, the President's voice came out of it. I told him your face went red, and you collapsed here, but... he kept asking if your nose was bleeding."
Ren narrowed his eyes at this. What the...! Does he think that I do that?
Keiko saw him narrowing his eyes, but dismissed it. "I told him that you said that you had a cold. He gave me this video to watch, but I didn't have most of the stuff that was shown. When I told him that, he only said that he would send them here right away, which he did. The man that delivered it gave me this apron to wear, and he gave me this lesson on how to take care of you."
"How to take care of me?"
"Oh!" She turned her head sharply at the pot. "I think it's done! You sit down while I get you a plate."
Obeying her, he sat down, but he was still contemplating on what she was talking about. It must have been that butler that came as he usually did deliver stuff here when Kyoko was here for LoveMe work. But.. why do I have a feeling that the President specifically gave it because-
"Open wide, sweetie!"
He looked up, and saw Keiko in only a bra and panties. When did she suddenly...! He felt his cheeks heat up.
"Eh? Your face is all red again! I thought you said you were fine!" She placed the plate in front of him and checked his fever again. She sat on his lap to do this. "The President said you would like this outfit the best. He also said that if you would have a fever from just looking at this, it meant that I would have to take it off completely."
"He... HE WHAT!" Ren choked as he heard her say that in such an innocent way. What was the President thinking? He knew he once said that he could caress Kyoko if he wanted to, but not go over the line but this! This was definitely over the line.
"I asked how I could help you, and he said to make you this while wearing this outfit," she repeated.
Ren looked at her, trying best not to look down—yet again! The President... is really taking advantage of her not understanding how things work.
He sighed. "Put on your dress back on. You can help me by feeding me," he pointed to his mouth.
"Okay..." She went down on her knees, where the wedding dress was (wasn't she wearing a backless dress? Where did the bra come from?), and slowly began to take the edges of her bra to strip it off...
"Hey! What are you..."
"The President said you might ask me to put the dress on, so he told me that since this dress is meant so the back is bare, it would make no sense for me to be wearing this." She pointed at her chest.
"Just! Okay, fine! Just feed me as you are now!"
He grumbled as he slurped the congee she made. It tasted delicious, just like before when she made one as Mizuki. He soon found himself wondering why the President made such a ridiculous request. Unless...
*Flashback*
"I will offer you a feast for you, as I can see your appetite matches a friend of mine. I thought he would come tonight, but it seems like he has some problems getting here. The food might go cold, but would you like some?" Keiko imitated the President.
It was a fairly good impression of him. Ren saw her yell at Tsuki some more before wondering why they were wearing the outfits at such a windy day.
*End of Flashback*
No way... a friend with the same appetite as Tsuki could only mean that his father was coming!
And he seemed impatient at the the fact that he had no grandchildren yet...
Meh, I go where the story takes me. And that weird scene was not what I was expecting.
