“You are.” He replied flatly, a teasing smile on his lips. She was cute like this, though Shawn would never admit that for fear of being punched. “It’s been a while, I just figured we could wait on catching up till we get to your place.” Shawn had finally made the move to Japan to get a job, and coincidentally had found work in the same section of Tokyo as Lena had. They even lived in the same building!

“I don’t have a problem.” Shawn huffed, despite body language that communicated otherwise. He didn’t like this Brett or whatever his goddamn name was, he was getting far too friendly with Lena. But at the same time, Shawn knew he had no right to feel this way. He’d not confessed to Lena, they had never even been on a date. His jealously was unwarranted, but the youth couldn’t help but feel scared. What if she fell in love with Brett and not himself?

                                          Clementine had finally found the new job. Sure, it was going to suck, but she didn’t really have to be around people and it was going to be at night! It was a cleaning job at a hotel, and she was on night shift. She’d be cleaning empty rooms, hallways, bathrooms… whatever really needed to be cleaned. It wasn’t exactly her dream job, but she needed money, and she needed it to be at night, so it was good enough for her.

It was her first day there, and she was a little nervous. Hopefully her coworkers weren’t assholes, or nosy, or some other annoying trait that people tended to be. She just wanted to keep to herself, do her job, and get a paycheck. That’s all. She wasn’t interested in friends or gossiping. Just money. Just her job.

Mei-Rin’s eyes widened as she heard those words. Had that young man been talking to someone else. She would have never touch a stranger. Never. And she had definitely not been patting his head.

He stirred slightly at the sound of the door, his subconscious knowing it was Lena. He’d loved their vacation together and was looking forward to their outing tonight, taking a nap to try and get rested for the evening. Unfortunately, he’d overslept by two hours. 

Lena didn't mind so much. They had been going for days. Hiking, exploring, just all around goofing off. It was tiring! So finding out that he had fallen asleep didn't really surprise her. In fact, it almost made her want to join him.

Deanna breathed in the city air, it smelt nothing like the air in Lawrence, Kansas. The town in which she grew up in always smelt like nature and home. The city smelt like gasoline, smog, and street hot dogs. None the less she had fought with her dad to be on her own, so here she was. Her mother had died in a house fire when she was just a child. As a result she was tough and rugged on the edges. Her father had always been....hard on her growing up. The thought made her shiver. It only got worse once her younger brother moved away to Stanford to attend law school. He was gone and she didn’t have to protect anyone anymore. So here she was. She could still feel a bruise on her right shoulder blade, but she did her best to ignore it. She pays the cabby with what little money she had managed to make waitressing back home. Tomorrow she’d go out and try to find a good bar, maybe apply for a job pouring drinks. Her father drank her whole life, she was good at bringing people booze and cleaning up after drunks. 

Even if he had disappeared on her... 

The thought had her lips twist and steal a drink for herself. Shawn could take care of himself, and when she had caught sight of him with a girl, it had her almost laughing. He was on his own there. Maybe.. probably... so long as she played nice.
