Stretching her arms, Ryoko slowly got up and cracked open her left eye. The morning light seeps through the translucent castaneous curtains as she slowly got up from the bed she shared with Aomine. Pain shot through her lower bottom when she took a step off her bed and she nearly fell to the floor if not for her quick hands holding onto the bed for support.
"That bakamine... So much for being 'gentle'... I'll be considered lucky if I can still walk straight for the rest of today..." Muttering under her breath, Kise slowly got up, a hand placed on her hip as the other reached out to twist the doorknob.
Taking light steps down the velvet carpeted stairs, a mouth watering scent wafts out of the kitchen doors and into the young maiden's nostrils. Closing her eyes and inhaling the heavenly scent, Ryoko allows her nose to guide her into the kitchen.
"Young miss, you're finally awake. I went into your room earlier to wake you up but it has been a while since I last saw you in such deep slumber so I decided to come down and make breakfast for you first. I hope you don't mind my selfishness..."
A strawberry blonde with pink highlights and curled hair stood before Ryoko, holding a pan in one hand while the other was stirring a bowl of batter.
"Rena, oh my god! You came back, why didn't you tell me sooner? I could've drove over to pick you up!" Ryoko exclaimed, bouncing over happily to said girl, ignoring the pain in her hips.
"I couldn't possibly do that, you gave me those free tickets to Europe inclusive of accommodation and such, how could I still ask more of you?" A small smile adorned the girl's features as she was tackled into a bear hug from the chirpy blonde female.
Kurosawa Rena was the girl's name and she was a part-time maid at the couple's love nest. It was Aomine that had advertised that they were looking for someone to clean up their house every weekend and the 16 year old had quickly took up the offer and started working for them a year ago.
"It's no big deal, I don't want those tickets to go to waste either so what better idea than to give it to you? I mean you really deserve a break from your studies and part-time jobs, it's really strenuous for you to have to keep up with such a hectic schedule." Ryoko had clicked her tongue, thinking back on how hard the poor girl had worked herself.
"I could say the same about you, you don't seem any better, you look more exhausted than before. Are you sure you're alright?" The strawberry blonde scrunched her eyebrows together, looking over Kise's worn out features and turning off the stove's fire.
"Yeah, I feel better than before. At least I have the week off to recover. That means more time to stay up late and catch up with my dramas!" Ryoko cheered, getting a plate out from the top cabinets and setting them down next to the stove as Rena gently laid the pancakes on the plate with the rubber spatula.
Walking over to the fridge, Ryoko opened the door and took out a bottle of maple and chocolate syrup before picking up the plate of fluffy goodness.
"Your dramas are gonna make you look like a panda before you even know it, Ryo-chan." Rena sighed as she picked up the pan and dumped it in the sink, taking off the red and white polka dotted apron and hanging it on the wall's hook.
"Oh right, I opened the mail box earlier and there are a few letters addressed to Aomine but most of them are for you." Rena said as she walked out of the kitchen to see Ryoko pouring a whole lot of chocolate syrup over her pancakes, followed by half a bottle of maple syrup.
A sweatdrop formed on the side of Rena's head as she saw Ryoko taking a bite of the overly sweet treat and her face contorting into a one of pure bliss.
"How can you eat that and not gain any weight?" The younger female asked in bewilderment, eyes scanning over Ryoko's lean yet slender body shape in envy.
"Sweetie, everybody's beautiful in their own way, you just have to tell yourself so, just because I'm a model doesn't mean I have the perfect body, you just have to be more confident of yourself and your body coz nobody can tell you otherwise. "
Taking a glass out of the cup drawer, Rena pours a carton of orange juice and passes it to Ryoko. The blonde nodded as thanks to said girl and greedily gulped down its contents, relishing in its fresh and somewhat bitter sweet taste.
Waltzing over to the grand piano, Rena grabs the taller stack of letters addressed to Ryoko and passes them to her.
Finishing up the last of the pancake, Ryoko sets down the fork and knife and accepts the stack as Rena picks up the plate before proceeding to the kitchen's sink.
Dumping the plate into the sink and turning on the water, the strawberry blonde ties her hair into a messy bun and grabs the sponge lathered in soap foam. Humming Erik Satie's 'Gymnopedie no. 1', she lets the water run over the smooth surface of the plate before turning off the water and scrubbing it clean.
TLINK!
The sound of shattered glass resounded throughout the house.
"Ryoko? What happened?! Don't move about, I'm coming out now! Ryoko?! Answer me, dammit!!"
Hurriedly washing her hands, Rena rushes out of the kitchen.
What greeted the girl was a sobbing blonde with her face buried in her hands and glass shards splayed all over the floor, together with an orange-like substance on the ground.
The blonde model held up her head, lips quivering in fright and eyes brimming with tears of uncertainty.
"What am I... s-supposed to do... Rena? I'm scared, what if h-he doesn't want me anymore?! I never wanted it to... to turn out this w-w-way..." The blonde's pitch rose with each word, tearing up again as waterworks made its way down her cheeks.
Slowly making her way over to the crying and panicked girl, Rena hugged her and caressed her head, running her fingers between the long and silky locks as she tried to shush and calm the frightened female.
Greyish eyes landed on a piece of paper and as they roamed over each words, her breath was caught in her throat and eyes widened to the size of saucer plates.
