Sunday 1.18 - A Temporary Escape

[skyrat13.livejournal.com]

Yohji stared at the contents of his closet and felt completely uninspired. Usually he could be ready for the club scene in 3 minutes or less, as about eighty percent of the clothing he owned had been bought with that in mind. Tonight though, nearly everything he picked up gave him mental flashbacks to Ran's disapproving glare over breakfast.

Why is that bothering me? Ran wouldn't know fashion if it came up behind him and smacked him over the head with a two-by-four. He's not even going out with us. Ferchrissakes, what's my *problem* today?

Everything pink now occupied an unhappy pile on the floor. Everything else that Yohji imagined Ran hating occupied another, equally unfortunate, albeit larger pile next to it.

That left a whole lotta black.

Yohji rolled his eyes at himself for caring, and grabbed an unusually subdued shirt off the rack.

Peeking into the hallway, he saw no sign of Ken yet, so he wandered to his door and knocked lightly.

"Hey, Kenken?"

Hearing voices, Ran looked up for a split second on his way down the stairwell to find Omi, and it was enough to make him pause.

There was Yohji outside of Ken's door, and he looked...

...older. His age. Presentable.

But still dressed to go out. He doubted the other man even owned clothes that didn't outline every focal point on his body. Nevertheless, Ran couldn't remember the last time he'd seen Yohji in clothes this unoffensive.

...not that he noticed.

Ran realized he'd stopped moving, if only for a split second, and mentally bristled. Irritated with himself, he turned to continue down the stairs. He didn't care what Yohji was up to, or Ken for that matter. It wasn't his business until it affected the team.

The sound of footsteps caused Yohji to turn around to see if Ken had already left his room and was now coming back....

...And momentarily brightened at the sight of Ran....

...Which was quickly snuffed out as he noticed that Ran was very deliberatly walking away. Well, that figured.

He considered, only for a split second, inviting Ran to join them in their outing, but quickly dismissed it. He would probably be indignant at the mere suggestion that he would waste his time at a place like a club.

Well. Whatever.

Yohji made up his mind that he and Ken were going to have a very good time tonight, regardless of how many drinks that required.
