Takashi / Sophomore

Takashi sighed, he lifted up his shirt. His slender chest was covered in bruises, some left over from he last time he got beat. “T-thanks..for helping me. Do you get in a lot of fights?” He asked looking at Ryo. Takashi ribbed his own cheek, avoiding a rather large bruise on it. Takashi sighed and looked at Ryo, still very curious about the boy. He wouldn’t know how to address wounds unless he cause them, or go them, right? Did he get into fights a lot at his old school?

ryo looked at the guys wound, his eyes staring at the colors of the bruises before he looked up at takashi. "you'll be fine if you don't get hit anymore. though, maybe next time you might have some internal damage.", he said, since it looked like he was being constantly hit in the same places.he looked staight at the boy before he stood up on his feet. "yeah, i was trying not to fight anymore, but i guess i attract trouble." he held out his hand towards takashi. "i would say i'm pretty strong. so i'm not afraid if they come after me", he stated.

Takashi / Sophomore

Takashi just looked at Ryo’s hand. After a minute he took Ryu’s hand and stood up. He pulled his shirt back down,”I highly doubt this won’t happen again. I’ll be lucky if they wait a day.” Takashi sighed.”Maybe you just like to fight, so don’t actively stay away from trouble.” He said, straightening out his crooked glasses. Takashi looked at Ryu, did he actually like violence?

ryo took a hold of takashi's hand, gently pulling him up onto his feet. he couldn't help but notice how tiny the other's hand was, not helping but comparing it to a girls hand. he looked down at takashi's hand before releasing it. he dismissed this weird feeling, not wanting to think about it any further. "i don't normally help others, but i mean. who was going to share their workbook with me now", he said, since he had only remembered this kid is important or he wouldn't get work done in school. ryo stretched out his body, a few bones popping in the process, before he looked back at takashi. "are you smart?", he asked curiously.

Takashi / Sophomore

Takashi looked at the ground, oh, of course he only helped because he had something to gain out of it. No one one in this world ever did anything if they wouldn't get something out of it. And Ryo wouldn't fail the class, that's what he had to gain. Takashi sighed,"Yeah, I-I guess." He said. Takashi knew he was smart, after all it did nothing for him but get him beat up. It was so cliche, a kid got beat up because they were smart. The thought made him chuckle faintly. Was his life so cliche that he would get repeatedly pummeled because of his intelligence, it was so stupid. Takashi looked back up at Ryo. He coulcn't read him, was he serious that he only helped because it benefited him? Or did he actually care enough to do something? Maybe Ryo wasn't as bad, and scary as he let on.

ryo didn't want to admit it, but he really needed help academically. he was planning to go to college, but he didn't even know how to catch up with his studies since he was too poor to afford a tutor or even go to an academy. he looked over to takashi, his hand sliding into his pockets, with a small smile. "how about we make a deal?" he said with a cocked eyebrow. he held a mischievious smile and leaned in closer to ryo. "you help me with my studies and i will protect you. all you have to do is help me have passing grades. is a fair deal?", he asked. he smiled and held out his hand for takashi to shake. "is that a deal?"

Takashi / Sophomore

Takashi looked at ryo, then his hand.”S-Sure.” He said. Takashi looked at his hand for a minute before finally shaking it with his own hand, sealing he deal. So know he had protection? Takashi looked at Ryu,”Are you going to keep their money?” He asked glancing at his pocket where Takashi recalled Ryu stuffing the money. He let out a small sigh,”Guess they deserve it, probably stole it from other students anyway.” He said like it was a completely normal thing. Takashi took off his black glasses and cleaned them off with the edge of his shirt.

ryo could't help but perk up with he agreed to his little demand. he was sure takashi would have said no, since ryo was pretty dumb. he was sure this was going to be a challenge for takashi, but he wasn't going to tell takashi that. he held a small smile and took a hold of his hand, shaking it gently. he let go of kai's hand and reached into his pocket, his hand touching the wad of cash in his pocket. "pretty much. did you want half of it? you were kinda helpful, i guess.", he said, since he didn't mind sharing it. he took out the wad of cash and slipt it up in what he believed to be the middle. "probably. here take it then", he said and held out the money as he waited for takashi to finish cleaning up his glasses.

Takashi / Sophomore

Takami finished cleaning his glasses and put them back on his face. He looked at the cash in Ryo's hand and let out a soft sigh,"No thank you, I dont want any money that was taken from someone else." He said. Takashi looked at the ground,"What do you need help with anyway?" He asked. Ryo's didn't seem dumb, or at least he wouldn't ask for help, Ryo seemed independent like he wouldn't ask for help unless he really needed it. The thought made Takashi curious.

"are you sure? it's just money after all." ryo said, since he didn't really think much about how the money was gathered. it wasn't something to cry about since it was just money. however, he could see takashi's resolve not to take the money so he didn't pester him about it anymore. he looked up, surprised to see takashi was a bit handsome behind those glasses, since the glasses made him seem like a total dork. he stayed silent for a moment before giving a sigh. "I really wanna go to college, so i'm pretty sure I need good grades. I can't afford any tutors or after school tutoring so my best best if to ask you for help. i'm pretty dumb, though it's cause i can't but fall asleep in class. it's sort of became a habit.", he admitted, though he felt pathetic for asking for help.
