Currently at a bar with Ryo, despite being underage still he went there to meet up with him. Ryo manage to get a fake ID for Riku as the boy sipped his beer "How did it go Riku?" Ryo decided to ask.

Riku cheeks were flushed "What do you think...I told him how I felt..." Riku chuckled a little "I felt happy seeing Tenn hurt expression yet for some reason I also felt guilty..." Riku tells Ryo.

Ryo could tell that Riku was almost hitting his limit from drinking because of his flush cheeks. "So then you couldn't completely burn that bridge." Ryo says as Riku nodded "I was almost there...the bridge was cracking but I couldn't burn it..."

Ryo had a feeling that Riku couldn't burn it down completely "Looks like I'm going to need some help." Ryo mumbles so Riku doesn't hear him not like he would remember anyways.

"Hey Riku how about I set you up with a job interview since you haven't found one yet?" Ryo suggested as Riku nodded "Sounds good. It will help me forget about Tenn-nii..." Riku drunkly agreed to it.

Now Ryo smiled a little 'All I need is their help to so Riku has a better chance.' Ryo thought to himself as he started texting someone. Once done the two went back to drinking and talking about random stuff.

The Next Day

The bright light hit Riku as he opened his eyes slowly "Urgh...so sleepy..." Riku mumbles as he read the clock that says 8:30 in the morning as he tries to go back to sleep. "Good morning sleeping beauty." That made Riku fall out of bed.

The voice chuckled "Wow didn't expect you to fall out of bed." Riku looked up and frowned "What are you doing in my apartment Ryo." Riku asked him as he smiled "Rude and I went through all the trouble of bringing you home.~"

Riku sighed "Well thanks." Ryo still was smiling at Riku "I went to get us breakfast and I have some wonderful news." Ryo happily says as that made Riku raise an eyebrow.

"Let's start eating first so this hangover could go away and you can tell me this news." Riku says as Ryo nodded as they both sat down and began to eat. "Well what's this wonderful news?" Riku asked him.

Ryo clapped his hands "I got you an interview for a job today!" Riku coughed because he nearly choked on his breakfast "Excuse me? A job interview?!" Riku shouted at him.

His reaction is what Ryo wanted to see "Yes, we talked about this last night but you probably don't remember about it." Ryo tells Riku as they continued eating "Yeah I don't remember so when is this job interview?" Riku asked him.

"In 30 minutes."

Riku once again almost choked on his food "30 minutes?!" He shouted as Ryo nodded with a smile "Yep so you better hurry up and get dress." Ryo tells him as Riku got up to get ready.

After 15 minutes Riku was ready to go and the two were driving to his interview. "So where is this job interview you set up for me?" Riku had to ask because Ryo wouldn't tell him while they were still at his apartment.

Ryo smiled widen while driving "Yaotome Productions you're interviewing for the position of being the assistant manager for TRIGGER."

Right now Riku was waiting with a frown and his arms crossed against his chest. The only reason he is here and that prevented him from murdering Ryo Tsukumo is because he hasn't bought a bus pass or train card and he also doesn't have a drivers license.

So basically Ryo is only alive because after this Riku needs a lift home. That's the only reason why he's alive at all, while lost in thought a girl walked out and a lady called out his name "Riku Nanase your next."

Riku sighed as he decided to get this over with, he walked in to see TRIGGER. Of course he avoided eye contact with Tenn, he sat down "My name is Kaoru Anesagi, your Riku Nanase right."

A pink haired woman asked who Riku assumes is the manager for TRIGGER "Yes." Riku put on a smile "You are a last minute recommendation but it seems like three people that are very well known recommended you." Anesagi tells Riku while looking at his file.

That surprised Riku "Two others recommended me?" He mumbles having an idea who those people could be "Your file is very well expectational, it looks like you had some experience in management and supports in a company for a short while."

Riku nodded with a smile "Yes, I got an internship and learned a lot, they even let me do important work whenever it was busy." Riku tells her, Tenn looked surprised by this "It also seems like you're Tenn's twin brother."

It was expected they would check and probably confirm with Tenn. "Yes but do not worry my personal life will not affect my work performance. I also don't plan to use Kujo-san name for anything and I will not let people know we are twins." Riku tells Anesagi.

Gaku and Ryuu glanced at Tenn to see his reaction but he showed no emotion. Anesagi looked amazed "Oh! I knew we should have accepted only recommendations, Riku Nanase you are hired!" Anesagi immediately chose Riku.

Which not only surprised Riku but TRIGGER as well "Thank you very much." Riku thanked her as they shook hands "You start Monday at 8 in the morning." Anesagi tells him.

Riku nodded and walked out, he sighed "I didn't expect to be hired." He mumbles as he made his way to the elevator "Riku." It was Tenn that called out to him and with him was the other members of TRIGGER.

Tenn stared at Riku "If someone is forcing you to take this job you don't need too we can stop them." Tenn tells Riku "Yeah no need to force yourself to work here." Gaku tells him as Ryuu nodded "It's not that we don't want you here, we're just worried you're being forced." Ryuu tells him.

"No need to worry about it, I wasn't forced into it. It gives me more experience in this line of work, if you will excuse me my ride is waiting for me downstairs." Riku says as the elevator opened and he walked in and pressed the lobby button.

"Well we will see you Monday." Ryuu says with a smile as Riku nodded with his own smile "Bye." With that Riku left after a bit he was now in the lobby "Let's go now." He tells Ryo who was sitting down "Now? Why not tell me how it went first." Ryo asked Riku.

While the two were talking TRIGGER ended up going to the lobby because they were heading out. They saw Riku talking with Ryo "Just take me home and I'll tell you how it went but I want answers." They heard Riku.

Tenn and the others were surprised to see Riku talking so causally with Ryo. "He know's Ryo Tsukumo?" Gaku asked as Anesagi nodded "Yes, he's one of the people that recommended Riku." She answered Gaku.

Ryo chuckled at Riku "Fine, fine. Aren't you happy you didn't murder me for this though." Ryo says playfully making Riku roll his eyes as they started walking "I would have if you weren't my ride." Riku says as they left.
