"SHUT UP."Ryu grumbled, a bottle of red wine in her hand. "I've got two kids training under me, and an obsessive former ally turned creepy stalker following my ass."
Kaoru Sakurayashiki, also known as Cherry in the skating competitions, only exchanged exasperated glances with Kojiro Nanjo, or Joe.
"Don't make that face you pink haired piece of decaying flora, it's partly your fault that I'm in this stupid situation."
Cherry sighed and shifted on his bar stool, taking the bottle from Ryu and sipping it himself.
"If you're referring to my suggestion for you to get a job, then I apologize for giving you an opportunity to busy yourself."
Joe grinned in amusement from behind the bar, as Ryu groaned in lament. "God help me because all you do is give me useless dimwits with bright colored hair."
Cherry and Joe both gasped in offense.
"I'll have you know, god had nothing to do with me tripping you that day." The green haired man said, remembering when he had accidentally tripped Ryu so that she fell on her face.
"Yeah, well god also could have slapped you so you didn't make me smush my pudding-"
"I'm sure god has better things to do than help a rich lady with her little problems. You should feel blessed with our existence." Cherry scoffed, throwing his pink loosely tied hair back.
"Shut up and give back the wine, loser." Ryu said, unable to come up with a more insulting response.
Joe boomed with laughter.
"Anyway, what are you going to do with..you know, Adam?" He asked after he had calmed down.
"Fuck him then dump him." Ryu answered immediately. After a beat of silence, the two men shifted uncomfortably, wondering if she was joking. "I'm joking."
"Oh-" "Ah-" The two breathed in relief, slumping again. "Totally thought you were serious." Joe said nervously, running a hand through his hair.
"No offense to Adam, but he's not my type, and kinda ugly." Ryu shrugged and went back to drinking.
"Really? I thought he had a nice face. What is your type then?" Cherry asked, putting a finger to his chin.
"Please. His eyebrows look like they're trying to give birth. Hm...one of the kid's I'm training...Langa, I think his name was? He's pretty cute." Ryu answered, pursing her lips.
"But enough about me. When in the hell are you two gonna start dating? I mean like, the sexual tension..."
Joe spit out the alcohol he was about to swallow, and Cherry started to cough.
"Ah...that is disgusting." The girl wiped off the wine from her face, and wiped it on Joe. "So I guess not yet. That's too bad."
"What in god's name are you talking about? He's nasty!" "Hey-" "How could you say such a thing! You're insulting my beauty-" Cherry protested.
Ryu grinned and finished off her drink. "Whatever you say, dads."
