KH*RT*KH*RT

Kagome sighed, exasperated, as she leaned against a wall with her arms crossed over her bandaged chest. Currently, she was dressed in black slacks, a white dress shirt and matching blazer, with steel-toed boots on her feet. Her normally silky, waist length, raven-colored hair was tied into a long, thin braid that was casually laid over one shoulder, with her bangs styled to frame her flawless features, in particular, her mesmerizing amethyst eyes.

"Ringo," she questioned, "why am I doing this again?"

Her boyfriend, who was cheerfully patting on face powder as he gazed at his reflection in the vanity mirror, hummed giddily. "Because you love me, Kagome-chan!"

One finger rose to tug at the collar of the starched shirt, obviously uncomfortable. "I'd love you more if you didn't make me wear men's clothing," she bitterly muttered. The corner of her eye suddenly twitched. "What kind of event is this, anyway? Normally, you'd drag Ryuuya into these sorts of things if you felt the need to cross-dress."

Ringo pouted, his crystal-blue eyes connecting with her amethyst orbs through the mirror. "You're usually so busy working. How else am I going to make sure you don't leave me for some other guy?" Cheeks becoming puffed up with anger and jealousy at the thought, he turned to face Kagome with his fists clenched near his face. "Or is that it, Kagome-chan? Did you already find someone else? Is he better than me? More manly?"

Kagome sweat-dropped. "This coming from a man dressed in an evening gown…" There was also the cotton-candy pink wig, the makeup, and the ultra-feminine behavior. Sometimes, her beloved boyfriend acted more girly than she did – and he would be dressed as a guy!

He only seemed to prove her inner monologue right as he tsk-ed, displeased that she didn't understand his choice of attire. "This evening gown is currently this season's…" and as he rambled and explained, and explained, Kagome only smiled indulgently as she tuned him out. These moments were one of the reasons why she didn't follow Ringo onto the path of show business and fame.

But, her eyes softened as she continued to watch him talk, adding hand gestures now, this was also one of the moments where he really seemed to shine and become passionate about his career.

And, to her, that was especially cute.

"Are you listening to me?" Ringo demanded, cheeks puffed again but this time in indignation. His hands were placed on his hips, showing he 'meant business.'

"Yes, Ringo, I heard you," Kagome answered, though they both knew she was lying with a straight face. They had been together long enough to know each other's quirks and habits. She changed the subject before Ringo could scold her. "Are you ready to go?" From her understanding, the dinner they were attending was a big deal, with Shining Saotome as the host. STARISH and their composer would also be in attendance, and Kagome knew her boyfriend had invested a lot of time and effort to make sure they navigated through the complicated web of show business as their teacher and confidant.

Ringo gasped as he was reminded about the time, and whipped back around to face the vanity to finish his makeup and hair. "I can't believe I almost forgot," he exclaimed, hands moving like lightning.

Smirking in amusement, Kagome pushed off the wall to exit the room. "I'll go make sure the car is ready." One perk of being a famous doctor at a prestigious hospital: she got to drive the best cars.

A small frown appeared on her lips, however, as the bandages wrapped around her chest seemed to tighten and constrict her airway. Seeing as how she couldn't wrap it herself – not properly, anyway, to last the entire night – Ringo had helped her, but he may have wrapped it a little too tightly to suit her.

"Wait, Kagome-chan. One more thing," said male called out, catching her attention.

Before she could turn around to inquire what he wanted, deceptively strong arms wrapped around her waist from behind, and Ringo laid his chin on her shoulder as he snuggled his front to her back. Being the same height had its perks, and he never missed an opportunity to exploit it.

"Ringo…"

His hot breath brushed over her ear, and Kagome felt her knees weakening. They nearly gave out completely as he whispered huskily, "Later tonight, I'll help you take off your chest bindings too." Nipping the shell of her ear, he released a naughty giggle before flouncing away again to finish getting ready.

Cheeks the most heated they'd been in a while, Kagome sighed in exasperation, eyes closed, as she steadied her nerves and heart rate. She hoped she'd be okay to walk on her suddenly noodle-like legs.

Despite how they could both appear androgynous, Ringo Tsukimiya was definitely all male. And he would never let her forget it.
