The Rare Ruki Treatment

!!WARNING!! Mature scene ahead. Look for my usual markings at the beginning and at the end : ~ * ~  <--That right there.

When Titania pulled into Ruki's driveway, she sat for a few minutes and smoked, draining her travel mug of coffee. She needed to reassess herself. Gather her wits and fortitude before she walked into Ruki's place. This morning had been absolutely chaotic and it had opened her eyes to a lot. She realised that, there was a lot that she had been denying herself, for her job and for her bosses. She had been single for the past three years because of it. Her schedule was just as crazy as the bands and it would be next to near impossible for a partner to accept that she was more out of home that she was in it. Even on her days off, she was still working. She would catch up on paperwork and then take care of her household things. So, she didn't really have the ability to give attention to another human being, when it came to a relationship, because she already gave so much to five others. And on that subject, how could any man, approve off or accept, that their girlfriend spent the better parts of her days, seeing to every single need of five other men, none of which were him?

The first year, she had tried to just have casual encounters here and there, as and when the need called for it. The problem with that was, the guys were down for that, until, inevitably, her phone would ring and up would pop one of the band members names and their photo and occasionally her piece for the night would see. For those men that didn't know the GazettE, they assumed that they were her other hook-ups and things would go south fast. Then, for those that did know who the GazettE was, they would sleep with her anyway, like it was no big thing but then a few days later, her phone would blow up and it would be all requests, asking if she could get VIP tickets to a show, or if she could arrange a one on one meet with a member. So she had stopped all of that. There was no point and she couldn't exactly shut her phone off, or ignore it while it rang. She could take the pictures off she supposed but even that wasn't cool for her, she used the pictures faster than the name to see who was calling. With the pictures, she could give a glance and tell, oh that's Ruki, or that's Aoi, or Uruha etcetera. It was more efficient to quickly glance and know, than read the Kanji.

She sighed, maybe they should try the team of PA's thing again, maybe she'd have more time to herself and for a relationship. As soon as the thought hit her though, she immediately squashed it. No, that was a disaster, they couldn't keep going through PA's like they were going out of style. The guys had too much that they needed help with, to have inconsistencies like that, in their schedules. No, she was the best for this job and she, as well as they, knew it. It was pointless to beat an already dead horse. She stubbed out her cigarette and then got out of her car. They were running behind still, she needed to get Ruki taken care of quickly. She could think more later, once the day was done. Although, six pm had never looked further away.

A few minutes later found Titania in Ruki's entrance way, the rapid clicking of small paws on wood, heading straight for her. She flipped on a light and saw as Coron eagerly ran over to her, hopping around and rubbing against her hand as she pet the small dogs head.

'Hey baby! Lets get you outside! Then we'll get you fed yeah?' Titania said, the little dog releasing a quick bark as he bolted towards the kitchen, sliding around as he went, due to his claws not catching enough traction on his masters wood floors. Hmm, she would need to book an appointment with the groomer and have those clipped because Lord knows, Ruki had planned too but had probably gotten too busy and forgotten to call.

About fifteen minutes later, found Titania, laying out Ruki's breakfast and coffee. She had made extra coffee this morning, realising that she now needed a refill herself and she knew that Ruki wouldn't care, as long as he could fill his own traveler, a little later on. As she finished loading up his tray, she heard the light scratching at the door, letting her know that Coron was done and wanted inside. She walked over and let him inside and then headed to the pantry, pulling out Coron's dog food. She moved over to his dishes and filled one with the food, setting that back into the pantry, closed the door and then made her way back to the bowls and lifted the empty one, filling it with water and setting it back down. Seeing that Coron was happily munching away, she took the tray and made her way upstairs and into Ruki's room.
