concealed.

Natalia found herself in a bit of a jiffy. Roboko was down for repairs, so for now she didn’t have anyone to help around at the lab. The Ukrainian girl so sorely missed the humanoid robot who had been her only housemate and friend for as long as she could remember- it was impertinent that she had her repaired soon, and if she was to do that, she needed some help.

So now here she was, fresh out of her shift at Prava Parts and handing out flyers advertising her need of a lab asssistant. A competent one, most preferably, but at this point she was willing to take anyone because, well, nobody was willing to become some ‘little girl’s assistant’,  as a rude man had so bluntly put it when she handed him a flyer.

She was near to giving up when a boy with messy brown hair who looked about her age came walking down her way. With a dejected sigh, Natalia feebly handed him one of her flyers and reciting her line monotonously and with little hope. 

Interested in becoming a lab assistant? I will pay you handsomely.”

And just like that, he had found himself in front of a blonde girl handing out flyers to become her lab assistant. Normally, Yuuta would have just declined, but that was before he heard about the pay. Immediately, Yuuta turned his attention to the woman passing out flyers.

Extending his hand out to the other, Yata’s eyes traveled to meet Yuuta’s who seemed distracted by something. Yata was nearly startled into jumping backwards when the boy bolted upright to chase after the board. “Guess he’s fine then..” He sighed as he straightened himself out and watched the boy run out into the street.

"Oi! Don’t run out into the middle of the road!" Good advice coming from a gangster who broke the law on a daily basis. "Tsk.." Yata clicked his tongue as he sped to a light trot over to the male only to pause and blink as he noticed a car coming - or rather a large commercial truck driving down the road at a speed that was definitely not residentially friendly. "Wha- of all the- Yo, kid! Watch out!"

Of course the little idiot wasn’t paying attention, his focus solely on the skateboard that had come to a stop in the middle of the road. You gotta be shittin’ me, Yata grumbled mentally to himself as he dashed out to shove the kid out of the way. Since there was time to spare, Yata hopped on the skateboard and pedaled out of the way in time to miss it, and just in time to look up to notice the driver biting into a burrito. Obviously he wasn’t paying attention to the road.

He stood up and brushed off some dirt on his pants, only to be met with a glare from the other person. Oh shoot. Maybe he had failed to rescue the skateboard, and this guy was about to spread his secret all over Prava. Yuuta wasn't ready to move once again to conceal his past. 

"You some kinda idiot? You coulda been killed!" Instead of getting something about the skateboard or about Dark Flame Master, instead this person was genuinely concerned about his wellbeing. Then Yuuta realized, it was this guy who pushed him to safety. He wasn't yelling at him just because of his skateboard, rather, he was yelling at at Yuuta for being so reckless.

And make a starter based on what I get.

Come to think of it, Yamato was feeling pretty drowsy himself. Wrestling Eru into going to sleep was quite the challenge and drained most of the energy he had remaining in his body, so if he fell asleep, he’d curse himself for it tomorrow morning.

He nestled the emerald eyed boy closer, resting his own head on top of his messy brown curls. Man, he was beat. Maybe just watching some tv and eating donuts together would be enough.

"I love Jimmy Kimmel," Yamato added with a grin. "But it’s easy to make me laugh, so I guess any comedian could get a chuckle out of me." He focused on TV with rapt attention alongside Yuuta, both of them cuddled up against each other. Yuuta’s body was small, but warm as well. He’d be a wonderful cuddle partner.

Except Yamato still felt like a pedo despite Yuuta being older.

"UWAAAAA!!"

Just then, a mysterious, petite figure leaps from the darkness, landing gracefully on top of the two males who had been cuddling so indecently!

"....nnnnn... it's ok...." Yuuta squirmed a little in Yamato's arms as an attempt to get into a comfortable position. He'd probably stay like this for a while.....

"Huh? Eru?" Yuuta sat straight up, now feeling a bit more alert now that he heard Eru's voice. "Ow!" Yuuta squeaked as Eru landed on both of them, now creating a gap between Yuuta and Yamato. So much for comfort, but at least he now had someone to keep him awake.

He nearly snorted. “Yeah, I’ll get right— Hey!” Before Yata had a chance to retort, the boy nimbly moved in to grab his skateboard, something Yata hadn’t at all expected him to do and therefore was not prepared. “What the hell?! Give that back! That ain’t junk!” He lunged for his skateboard in an attempt to pry it from the other guy’s hands. He wasn’t about to get forceful although he probably could easily wrestle it out of his hands if he wanted.

"Eek!" In a panic, Yuuta stumbled out of harm's way, but instead, he tripped on a tree branch, letting the skateboard slip out of his hands, and he plummeted face first down onto the floor. He just laid there for a few minutes before finally deciding to sit up.

"Ow... that hurt...." Yuuta rubbed his forehead as he tried to recover from the fall, but he turned his attention away from his pain when he noticed the skateboard gradually rolling away from him and getting closer to a busy sidewalk. If someone were to accidentally step onto it and fall... or what if someone stole it... or even worse, what would happen if it somehow manages to end up on the road and something runs it over..? He didn't want to know what would happen, he knew what would happen if this person's skateboard was harmed.

Maybe if Yuuta rescued the skateboard, this person would promise to forget about his dark days.

"Quite the interesting city…" the thief murmured, idly gazing down at the twinkling lights of Prava from his little spot at Estrella Point. He’d only been staying in town for a few days so far and though it still felt like a maze to him for now, he was slowly but surely getting acquainted with it. There was still the matter of getting to know the people, however, but—

He still had time for that too.

"...Finally here..." Yuuta paused for a while to catch his breath before proceeding to approach the bench where he had left his book. "Ah ha! Found it! Now I can go home-" his thoughts were interrupted when he spotted a very peculiar sight. A whiteclad male(?) leaning back on the rail at a considerably dangerous distance from the ledge. Normally, Yuuta would have known it would have been a person, but it was night time, and with all the white it looked just like....

Picking up a few bags, he waves a free hand. “I’m helping, aren’t I?” Setting them up higher than the male could possibly reach, he then lets out a sarcastic sounding laugh to go along with unsaid words laying on his tongue.
