The Lucky Dragon

Winter Branch

Yuto had the day off, and was spending the day in the Lucky Dragon's spa. It was one of his favorite ways to relax on his days off, and Zarc had spared no expense in the spa. Of course, he'd spared no expense in the entire resort, either.

At the moment Yuto was having a nice massage, practically melting into the massage table from how relaxed he was. He almost didn't notice when Zarc came in. The older man watched Yuto for a moment, smiling. "I thought I might find you here!"

"Mmhmm..." Yuto murmured, smiling softly. "Are you gonna get a massage too?"

Zarc chuckled. "Not right now. I just wanted to see you. Are you enjoying your massage?"

"Mmhmm..." Yuto murmured. "'S nice... You should try it..."

"Maybe later," Zarc said with a smile. "Summer's coming to an end soon. That means that we'll be closing the summer branch of the Lucky Dragon, and opening the winter branch."

Yuto was quiet for a moment, before opening one eye to look at Zarc. "So the construction of the winter branch has been completed?" he asked. Zarc nodded. "Yep! On the eighteenth of November we'll have the grand opening! That'll give us about two months where the summer resort is closed, but the casino will still be open. And I've already hired your seasonal replacements so that you four can come to the winter branch with me."

Yuto smiled happily. "That sounds wonderful, but what did Yuri say when you told him? I'm sure he'd not be too happy to leave his precious plants behind. You know how much he loves tending to his garden."

"He was a bit torn when I told him, but he felt much better when I promised to have his garden planters moved to the greenhouse in our winter home," Zarc replied. "He's looking forward to it."

Yuto chuckled. "I bet he insisted on staying in the vehicle transporting his plants so that he can keep an eye on them, huh?"

"Mhm," Zarc said. "I've even arranged for a special transport vehicle to move them, so that he can stay with them."

"Well, I must say I'm really looking forward to spending the winter in the new branch," Yuto said. "This is going to be so much fun!"
