“Like I said I fell down the stairs”. Ryou though wasn’t up to his usual skills for being able to pass off lies so easily. He’d been so shocked by the attack to have taken place that he had darted down the nearest pathway and into the nearest open door - running stright into Kaiba who seemed to have taken one look at the bloodied and torn state of his clothes and half dragged him off to his office. Ryou now stood gazing around somewhat nervously, sucking on a burst lip and trying not to break into the tears that he felt building at the back of his eyes. He felt sick and somewhat shaky and Kaiba’s intense glare for wanting to know the truth was not helping to the situation at all. “…I’m sorry - I’ll get cleaned up and head home…”

She swore she’d read somewhere that where she used to live was wetter than here but she was about to call out that article as an example of why wikipedia should never be trusted. It had been a beautiful sunny day when she had left her apartment that morning. Dressed in smart clothing with her hair tied up in a bun, tops sections poking out in a messy but fashionable manner - the look of the model she was even if she didn’t like being so.  Yet now? The heaven had open up and she looked more like a drowned cat or mouse as she darted from shelter to shelter, trying to find someplace warm and comfortable to dry off but someplace not too busy either. She did not want pictures of this level of messy getting caught on the web so easily. Soon enough, she’d ducked into one of the coffee shops, hugging into her jacket tightly as she ordered herself a coffee and sat down to silently enjoy the warm drink, shivering as she gazed outside.  How the heck was she expected to get home in this? Sighing, she pulled out her phone for her daily stalking. God. She needed to get a new hobie if this was her way of calming down. 

“Thanks” he muttered softly as he turned to take the offered coat, tugging it quickly on and sighing happily at the welcoming warmth. Perhaps three hour drive just to look over this sight and walk under the stars was a little crazy but it seemed like a nice way to end such an annoying day. His work day had been even more terrible than normal and though he had classes tomorrow which meant he really should have tried to turn in for an early night - well this had happened instead. “Hmm - do you like it?” he asked as he turned slightly to gaze up towards the ceo, “I thought it’d be nice for you too. I haven’t been here in years though. You can see where the new buildings are being planned from here too... I hope nothing ever stretches out this far though”. He sighed softly. It seemed like the city enjoyed to absorb the land and light around it at times. “Maybe I’m just in a bit of a reflective mood lately. I thought getting you out of the office was a good idea though”

“To be honest I wasn’t aware it was going to be such a long drive but I promise to make it up to you”. Ryou smiled softly as he climbed out the car, running a short distance away till he stood near the edge of the hilltop that overlooked the city in the distance, the stars shining brightly above them as he hugged into himself slightly against the breeze. It was worth it though. He hadn’t seen this view in so long so when given the chance to talk Kaiba into coming here - it wasn’t something he was about to let pass by. “Come here! I promise you’ll like it” @kaibaboss
