Soraru followed Rib home, and the pair made small chat as he drove home. "hey, babe, we are here," Rib says, nudging him a little with his elbow, and Soraru jerked to attention. His lips curved upwards in a sleepy smile as he got out of the car, allowing Rib to tug him gently towards the condominium and up the elevator.

He leaned against Rib as they went up, and they whispered to each other about mindless things as the elevator slowly filled up. When they stopped at the ground floor, Rib looked up, catching the eyes of a certain blonde. The atmosphere became awkward; Rib falling silent and placing his arms around Soraru, pushing him towards his chest in a tight hug. Soraru, not knowing what had happened, allowed it to happen, taking in a deep breath of Rib's scent and smiling a little.

Rib smiled poisonously at Mafu, whom returned it with a glare of his own. Soraru shifted uncomfortably, about to turn around, but Rib lowered his head a little to whisper in his ear that it was nothing. When they finally reached Rib's floor, Rib grabbed Soraru's hand, and pulled him out quickly, pushing past Mafu and out of the elevator.

He unlocked the door, allowing Soraru to enter first before he enters, closing the door behind him with a soft click. "take a seat," he says, heading off to the kitchen to pour them both a glass of water. When he set it down on the table, Rib sat down next to Soraru, and asked, "so, you want to go bath and change?" Soraru frowned a little, glancing down at his clothes with distaste before he nodded. "thanks," he mutters, before he stood up, making a go for Rib's bedroom.

When the water turned on, Rib turned slightly to the door, upon hearing the knocks. A smirk playing on his lips, he walked towards the front door, flinging it open without warning. A dishevelled Mafu stood there, his face dark. "where's he?" "I've no idea what are you saying," Rib's voice is cool, while Mafu seemed to get angrier by the second. "where's Soraru?" he raised his voice, attempting to enter, but Rib pushed him away from the door. "hey, this is trespassing," he says, shoving him outside.

"I need to see him, please," Mafu whispered, but Rib stared him down unflinchingly. "maybe you should have thought about that when you pushed him away," he answered coldly, and smiled. It was a cruel smile, the way his lips twisted upwards and he managed to look down at Mafu, even though the blonde is taller than him. "think about it. give him breathing space. maybe tomorrow you can come over, and both of us can have a talk." Rib's eyes softened a little, even though he is still only holding the door open.

"okay," Mafu murmurs, tucking his hands into the pockets of his jeans. He looked as if he was broken, but Rib just nodded curtly. no pity should be given to the blonde, as he broke Soraru's heart. His stone cold mask dropped down again, and he scowled. "wipe that pitiful expression off your face. Oh and-" was what he says in the end, before he opened the door a little wider, leaning into Mafu's ear to whisper, "this is a warning- don't come back today."

Then he slammed the door close.

a/n : rib's personality is supposed to be something like whiplash, trust me.
