As their usual daily routine Hiro gently places Haru's purse on her shoulder and bids the girls farewell. As Hiro turns around he sees a blur of a man passing him. "HEY HARU!" T.J. jogs towards Haru with a very cheerful smile. "Hey let me get that for you." TJ carefully removes the purse from Haru's shoulder and carries it for her. "You look very pretty today. Impressive that you look this pretty only using one arm." Haru blushed at the compliment.
Since she was able to get her clothes from her house she was dressed more comfortably today with black denim capris, a pullover light pink sweater, and black sneakers with pink lines on them. Since she couldn't really use her arm she was only able to leave her back length wavy brunette hair down.
"It's just my purse but if you insist thank you?" Haru learned that resisting help was futile so she happily just accepted the help.
"No prob." TJ flashed his dashing smile that could make any woman melt.
After hearing the familiar voice Hiro turns around and witnesses the scene unfolding in front of him. His heart began to feel like it was going to pound out of his chest and he could feel his face getting hotter by the second. 'What is this feeling? Am I jealous right now?' He thought to himself. Feeling tortured watching TJ walk closely with Haru he quickly tried to shake off his thoughts and feelings. He reluctantly turned around forced himself to walk towards his station.
"I see Riku you will be doing our make-up today huh?" TJ exclaimed excitedly
"Yup," Riku replied nonchalantly.
"Anything special in store for us other than your cute new assistant?" He winked at Haru.
"Nope"
"As blunt as always. That's what I love about you Riku. So straightforward and no sugarcoating" He smiled his irresistible smile.
Riku smirked and replied monotonously "I thank you for the compliment."
As TJ waited for his turn to be worked on he sat next to Haru and watched her sort out and memorize some makeup terms and colors. "Haru I know you're still injured but if you're not busy would you like to have some dinner tonight? Just as friends it doesn't have to be a date?"
Shocked by this sudden question Haru looks at Riku then back at TJ "I don't know..."
Riku smiles at Haru softly "Just go I have some prior engagements to take care of anyway. Tj?..."
"Yes My dear Riku?" TJ smiles replies as politely as possible.
Riku's smile disappears "Don't do anything stupid to hurt her."
" tsk How dare you Riku after knowing me for so long I am so offended" He jokingly spoke
"well say that to all those other women." Riku continued seriously
Seeing how serious Riku really was TJ replied seriously. "Don't worry Haru will be safe in my care I will not let a single thing happen to her I PROMISE."
"Good because if she comes home hurt or crying you're face will always look botched in your photoshoots. I'll also make sure you get the most inexperienced makeup artist set with you."
TJ shivered at Riku's threat "Got it, boss"
Still feeling a little nervous Haru smiled at Riku and TJ.
Tj jumps up claps his hands and goes back to sit next to Haru. He rests his elbows on the table and his chin in his hand and looks at Haru and gives the most heart-melting smile "Great I get to see you all day and have dinner with you."
"Well, you are gonna have to take a break looking at Haru because it's your turn buddy" Riku cut in. "Haru chuckled and went back to reading her notes and memorizing the different things in the textbook that Riku gave her.
"Aww man.. well that's ok I'll be able to see her after my photoshoot." TJ smiled optimistically.
After a long day at work, Riku walks towards Hiro's car. "I have things to do so I won't be riding home with you tonight."
Hearing this Hiro was a bit excited because he'd be riding home alone with Haru.
"Okay... where's Haru?" Hiro asked anxiously. Riku smirked "Oh yeah almost forgot about that. TJ asked her to hang out so she's going to dinner with him tonight. He'll be bringing her home tonight."
"WHAT!" Hiro shouted.
"Yeah, so I'm gonna go now don't follow me even if you're bored I don't want company when I run my errands," Riku replied coldly and went to hail a taxi.
Hiro was left standing there next to his car speechless.
