Nishikido Ryo/Tegoshi Yuya.
A/N: AU snippet meme: "Tegoshi/Ryo in Attention Please? (but if you haven't seen it then just Tegoshi as a flight attendant) XDD" for takenoko (Originally posted here.)
It was rare for a guy to attempt to be a flight attendant, so when Ryo was knocked over by a guy who was dashing towards the flight attendant orientation, he was mildly surprised. "Sorry!" he squeaked, scrambling to get all his things together. "I'm going to be late!"
Ryo raised an eyebrow at the disappearing back. "You're already late," he muttered, before turning around and walking back on his way.
Tegoshi looked over his shoulder curiously before he caught sight of the clock, running off towards the auditorium.

"Ne, ne, you work here too?"
Ryo didn't bother to turn around, too occupied with taking inventory of their supplies. "No, I just like hanging around in the supply closets and counting how much you guys have of each item."
The voice laughed. "I'm Tegoshi Yuya! A future flight attendant."
Ryo turned then, raising an eyebrow when he saw a guy - although that could probably be debatable - standing behind him. "A guy?" he asked.
Tegoshi frowned. "Yes? Is there something wrong with that?"
Ryo shrugged, returning to his task. "Not really. Just different."
"Exactly," Tegoshi said airily. "Different isn't bad."
With a laugh, Ryo shook his head. "That's true."
"Wanna go out for dinner?"
"Aren't you a little early to start asking me out? We barely met."
"Ah!" Tegoshi covered his mouth with his hand, eyes wide. "I didn't-"
"I know you didn't." Ryo smirked. "I'm Nishikido Ryo."
Tegoshi extended a hand, smiling. "Nice to meet you Nishikido-kun." Ryo shook his hand.
"Now we can go to dinner." Tegoshi's eyes almost sparkled.

Ryo found Tegoshi huddled in a dark corner - inside of the men's dressing room, legs tucked in against his chest and the hint of tears that had been there streaming against his cheeks. "Hey."
Tegoshi looked up, then buried his head back in his arms. "You shouldn't be here," he mumbled.
"Neither should you," Ryo pointed out, sitting down next to Tegoshi - although not terribly close enough that their skins touched.
"So I've heard," Tegoshi said scornfully, his voice muffled against his skin.
Ryo looked over, hesitating - his hand twitched before he just knocked his shoulder against Tegoshi's. "You've been bullied before. What's different about this time?"
"Nothing," Tegoshi muttered. "Nothing. But too much is too much."
Ryo raised an eyebrow. "That's not the usual attitude I hear from you."
"Well, a smile can only last for so long."
Ryo bumped his shoulder against Tegoshi's again. "Stop that. You know as well as I do that this isn't you. You're stronger than this."
Tegoshi laughed - a little sarcastically. "Yeah well, even I have my breaking point."
Ryo pat Tegoshi on the back before resting an arm over his shoulders. "Hey." Tegoshi didn't move. "Hey," Ryo said more sternly. Tegoshi met his eyes. "Let's get dinner. You know how you are with food."
Tegoshi laughed, shaking his head and wiping his eyes off. "Okay."
Ryo grinned. It wasn't a permanent solution, but one step at a time.
