Thread: A Lesson in The Dark (Shyone and fluxarmageddon)

Ryou noticed her reaction instantly and to be honest it was all he could do to keep the sadness off his face. This woman was supposed to be his caretaker? How was she going to do that if she seemed disgusted by the idea of even touching him. Sure he had in the past doctors and nurses with a cold bedside manner, but even that cold professionalism where better than the outright disgust combined with a look that seemed like a wary one. Yes the young man was misreading out Sayaka felt, but given the way people treated at him in the past because of his sickness what was he supposed to think. He saw her reaction as that of someone who didnt want to be in contact with him because of his sickness if they didnt have to be. Sighing softly the male looked down sadly at his lap and twiddled his thumbs in his lap and using his hair to hide the frown on his face and even the single tear that stained his cheek, one which he quickly wiped off when Sayaka went to get there drinks. Ryou promised himself he wouldnt let her figure out he had been so close on the verge of crying. Would you just push me Sayaka? I would prefer that you did unless doing so would make you uncomfortable. In his emotional state the young man had accidently played his cards a bit when it came to what he was so worried about. Still he would keep looking down and not look up until the moment she said his last name. Listening closely to what she said, the womans words did explain a few things, but he had to admit that he didnt understand them. Sighing sadly the male nodded his head not wanting to make her uncomfortable, and he also wished to treat her with respect and allow her to do the things that she wanted to, You have not insulted me Sayaka. If that is your wish then may I at least be allowed to ask that we compromise and I raise your pay a bit more? Either way I am sorry myself. I was simply trying to take care of you by allowing you to spend from the money my father left me just like I am able to do so since we are always going to be together. It would be kind of silly for you the person who is always going to be closest to me to not share in that wealth. He scratched the back of his head laughing, but there was sadness there, as it showed Ryou never thought he would have anyone to be his spouse around. Truth be told though that because of his sickness this was unlikely and such was his desire to treat Sayaka probably stemmed from this. Not that he would ever admit to any such thing, however her next words bothered him a bit as he wondered if she had really expected such horrible behavior out of him. Did she really think that he was going to treat her like a lower class of person? Did she really think that he was going to physically try and use her and then throw her to the side like a piece of garbage? Once he had his drink in hand and had taken a sip the male sat back in his seat, but before doing so he said, Please Sayaka-chan, forgive me but I cant express what I am about to say without hugging you if that is ok? Having been direct in his warning the male would turn his seat just to the side enough that he could wrap his arms gently around Sayakas waist. His hold was light if she wanted to step away, but the woman would notice there was a sad rueful look on Ryous face as he spoke, Dont ever think that your just a lower class of person to me ok Sayaka-chan. You are my friend, my confidante, and I am sure one of the only people who will be willing to spend their time with me. I know we havent known each other long, but it is what your assigned to do as the last wish of my father that makes you so precious to me. Dont take that the wrong way, because you seem like a nice lady and I am sure I will come to like you for other reasons as well, but for now it is the your providing me with companionship where no one else does. By the time he was done Ryou had let himself slip back a bit and was only holding the flaps in her coat, looking at the ground, the male had gotten a little emotional in his speech. Realizing he was teary eyed and cried some while talking the male let go of Sayaka and leaned back in his chair, wiping his nose and face as he laughed at her words blushing a little at her teasing as he indicated towards the exit of the coffee shop, so that she could start wheeling him out if she wanted to. To be honest you could get hand-sy with me anytime you Realizing that he was letting to much of his inner pervert show with that statement, Ryou covered his face in embarrassment. As it was a sign that the air was lifting around the two and the heavy stuff had probably passed, forget I said that well dont forgot just just ah well. Anyway I think that visiting a place like that would be swell as long as they have room for a guy in his chair like me. Yeah most places have room for a wheel chair, but mine comes with extra attachments. You know we could also go to a sushi restaurant I know of near here. It is just on the way to my place and the family who runs it knows me pretty well.
