"that'll be 25.57," the waitress stated blankly whilst setting down the check in between the two of you. not sparing a second glance, she'd walk away to continue her horrid ritual of serving customers. her bright diner attire contrasted in the way her expression gloomed in practical misery as she walked to another table complaining about something unimportant.
ryo peered when he adjusted the glasses on his face to glance at the little booklet containing his check, he slouched back the entire time before sitting up. watching the waitress like some sort of hawk as you took the last few sips of your coffee that tasted like ice. bitter but it would wake you up from the long night of before, late hours in the nights jumping from party to party and the taste of alcohol lingering in the back of your head. the dizziness still knocked your head but hey, it was fun while it lasted.
a hand had slipped onto yours, the new cold opened your eyes to look back at ryo. placing his index finger just softly against his lips, then pointed at the waitress who's back was faced towards you two. registering the plan, you nodded. slipping a few bucks under the mug for at least a tip, you were quickly pulled up by ryo and quickly made your way to the doors.
"hey! you two!" was all that was heard as you two picked up the pace into the parking lot. the owner perhaps attempted to chase you to down to pay for the cheap meal, but you climbed into ryo's car whilst he started the engine. quickly he exited parking lot leaving the owner panting, hands on their knees in attempt to catch their breath.
how long had it been since you and ryo decided to drop the lives you two had in your hometown? maybe a few weeks or months? it didn't matter now, it was better than being studying at school for a job you didn't even want. the money it provided was good but damn were these few years taking a toll on you. tiring and miserable and stuck at a minimum wage job felt like a constant loop, on ryo's end he was bored of his own life being under the wing of his father. true he was incredibly smart but he wanted to make his own name and not merely be the son of some famous guy.
though, both of your lives were boring apart from one another. when together you two felt alive, happy with the floods of serotonin fueling your brains everywhere you went. each hour you two tried to spend together since the terrors of middle school, inseparable practicable until you two needed to go to bed. but even then sneaking out to each other's houses was the norm.
your friendship with him was questionable and many tried to pinpoint that you two were dating or some sort. neither of you had mentioned it and neither of you cared, you liked spending time with ryo and ryo liked spending time with you. and now you two had spend every waking hour and late nights with each other.
