“Ah, I’m tired~” Yoko sighed loudly. Subaru and Ohkura snickered at his bandmate’s action, and sat next to him.
“Well, it is an intense drama, I have to admit it, but there is an ‘eye candy’ that can sooth down all your tiredness ne~” Subaru teased him.
“’Eye candy’ as if! I was concentrating too much on the set. If I try to goof around, I won’t be able to play my part well.” He huffed back at them, feeling that there’s no other way to release his muscles from the tense.
“Hm…even you can be in this stress mood? I thought you for once could make it fly outside the window.” Ohkura laughed at his remarks. Surely, this is a new thing, because normally Yoko would just laugh away all those problems and would never take it too much. He must be really tired this time, all the works are taking a toll on him, Ohkura felt.
“Ne, why don’t we do something fun? I think it has been a long time since we did something interesting.” Subaru suddenly whispered to his friends, smiling his I-want-to-do-some-wicked-thing way.
Oh boy, this might be trouble, Ohkura thought, and he was about to say something when Subaru stopped him.
“Stop being ‘Mr. Always-do the Right-Thing’, now is the time that we need to chill out and have fun, and I know the right person.” He smirked evilly, looked around and saw his target with shining eyes. “Oi Ryo~ , come here for a sec!”
“Hm, what is it?” Ryo walked languidly towards them. He stood in front of them, with hands crossed on his chest.
“I just remembered something, last week you said that you wanted us to introduce you to some girls right? Yoko here has a girl that wants to hang out with you.” Subaru explained to him with a straight face.
“I have?” Yoko suddenly said to him, but Subaru smacked his head hard and fast. “Yes, didn’t you just tell us earlier?”
“Okay, who is this girl? I don’t want some weird looking or-”
“Matsuura Aya. She seems ok to me. Even Yoko said she is nice on the set.” Ohkura cut his words. Now he understood what Subaru meant.
“I did?” Yoko voiced out, looking confused, but this time it was Ohkura who smacked his head.
“So are you interested? Want her number?” Subaru winked at Ryo, testing his own bait.
“Hm… I guess if Yoko says she is nice, then I shall try and go out with her.” Ryo replied, his mouth starting to form a smile.
“Okay, but there’s a catch. In order to have her number you need to….”
**
“Baka Yoko, baka Baru, baka Ohkura!” he chanted under his breath so many times. Now, he felt like he is the one who is the big idiot.
I know that they are trying to help me, but why do I need to do this?! He muttered angrily to himself. He reached the back side and tried to zip upwards, but almost at the end it stuck. He tried, again and again, but it didn’t move.
Stupid dress, now how am I going to do about this? He tried to unzip it, but again, it didn’t move.
“Damn it!” Ryo shouted out in frustration. He was about to yell out more profanities when the door was suddenly being opened by non other than Ueda Tatsuya, the person that he liked the least.
“My~ what a pleasant surprise. The mighty Nishikido Ryo has this kind of hobby.” Ueda voiced out, looking amused at him.
“Oh shut up donkey, it’s not like you had never dressed in one like this.” Ryo replied fumingly, feeling his temperature rising high.
“Not when alone, I guess, and only on stage, as far as I remember. Don’t worry, you don’t need to explain to me. I understand.” saying that Ueda chuckled “I shall leave you alone, so that you can wear make up and all.” Ueda smiled wider, as he walked out of the room, grabbing his CD that was left before.
“Oi, don’t leave me alone donkey, help me while you are here don’t you?” Ryo suddenly grabbed his wrist, eyes begging not to leave him alone in the mess.
Ueda sighed at his action. He didn’t get it. “Okay, what do you want me to do? Maybe you should ask for Kame’s or Jin’s help. They know more about this.”
“They will only laugh loudly if I tell them. Jin has a big mouth, for sure he will tell everyone. Its not that I want to wear this, I have my own reason.” Ryo explained fast, his face starting to turn pale thinking about tomorrow.
“That is? Care to tell me?” Ueda quirked an eyebrow. This seems to be interesting~
“Yoko and Baru decided to-” Ryo started to explain, ‘I have a bet with my friends so I have to wear girl’s clothes for a day and act like one, but no one must know who I am, and if I ‘d succeed, they would introduce me to a girl”, but then he stopped. Why the hell am I telling him all these?? “Never mind, just make sure that you will NOT tell anyone.” He looked at him murderously. My dignity is at the stake!
“There is no benefit for me to tell others about this. It is just a small matter right? I think almost everyone in the Jimusho had at least wear girls clothes once, even me.” Ueda told him with bored tone. “Come on, let me help you, I’ll zip it, turn around.”
And so, Ryo followed his orders. Ueda managed to persuade him to wear a pair of sexy black stockings and a pair of red stilettos. Ryo was forced to try on several outfits and dresses before they decided on which one to wear. After so much bickering and yelling (on Ryo’s part, he kept on throwing his shoes and scarves at Ueda) and laughing (more likely rolling on the floor because Ueda couldn’t stop himself from looking at Ryo’s sulking face) the last dress made Ueda stopped on track.
“I think this is nice.” Ueda stated, still awed at the view in front of him.
“Are you sure? Are you still playing on a joke on me? This is itchy.” Ryo grumbled, scratching his neck from the frills.
“Hey, stop that, it will ruin your neck.” Ueda walked closer to him, holding his hand from scratching. “Look, it has become r-” then he realized. Up close Ryo is so pretty. He had put on some make up earlier, and even wore a wig. His hair now is shoulder length, it suited his face. Without realization, he slowly touched his cheek, “You are so pretty.” They were standing so close now, staring intently to each other.
Then his mind just clicked, oh my God, I just blurt it out!
“W-WHAT??” Ryo stammered, both of them blushing madly.
“I t-think this suits you the most. I’m going now, good luck for tomorrow!” Ueda quickly rushed out, not wanting to feel embarrassment anymore. Shit, why is my heart beating so fast?? He walked to the basement, started his car and drove back to his apartment. Even after taking a long bath, he still couldn’t sleep. His mind kept on replaying the moment he touched Ryo’s cheek.

It was a very beautiful morning, with clear blue sky and birds chirping outside the window. Ryo woke up earlier than before, preparing for his task for the day. After looking at the mirror one last time, he grabbed his bag and walked out of his apartment.
After securely locking the door, he walked to the lift. There, he bumped into his landlord, “Ohaiyou gozaimasu” he spoke gently, imitating a girl’s voice. She looked at him from head to toe, and then ignore his greetings. Behind him, he saw another obaachan, who then whispered to her, “She walked out from Nishikido’s apartment.” He could hear the voice, and then they both threw a disgusting look at him and walked out from the lift. He looked into his reflection by the lift, he didn’t look like a cheap girl or wearing too fancy either. What the hell is wrong with this people?? He wondered.
Ryo arrived 30 minutes earlier, hoping no one to see him. He took a deep breathe, and walked into the Jimusho quietly.
“Ano~” he heard someone called out.
“Excuse me, the girl with pink dress and white scarf!” the voice shouted at him again. This made him sigh. Slowly, he turned around and went to the said person. It was Aiba.
“Owh, you are indeed very pretty~ Matsujun said yesterday we were having a new make up artist, so it is you ne.” he talked sexily to him.
This made Ryo uneasy. Aiba was talking to him so close, and suddenly his hand is on his waist. “Mind telling me your name?” he winked at him.
“Nishi-” he was about to say his name, but then he remembered, I am a girl!
“Hm? I can’t hear you~” Aiba pulled him closer. This made Ryo almost snapped, but thinking about his bet, made him bear it a little. He pulled out from him gently, and imitated a shy-girl look replying “Nikaido Mae, nice meeting you.”
“Wow~ what a sexy voice you have, even a sexier body.” Aiba licked his lips. “Nice knowing you.”
This time Ryo really felt like he wanted to puke.
“Me too!”
“Me three!”
“Me four!”
Three persons suddenly appeared next to Aiba, grinning like Cheshire cats. They were Ohno, Nino and Sho.
“What are you guys doing here?” Aiba muttered angrily, trying to push away his bandmates. Then, they started to pull and push each other.
While they are bickering like children, Ryo sneaked away from them and later ran as fast as he could.
“Kami sama, please help me!” he yelled out in his heart. This is like walking into tiger’s trap!
