[tokyo_sling entry] What... chores? Me?!
Yohji rubbed his eyes tiredly. Taking off his shades and twisting them gingerly between his fingers, he let his arms rest on the table before him. Slumping forwards, he rested his head on his forearms and closed his eyes.
*ploink...ploink...ploink...ploink...*
Groaning, he lifted his head, shooting the leaking tap a dirty glare out of narrowed eyes. Squeezing his eyes shut for a last, precious moment, he tried to enjoy the illusion that he had nothing to do, nothing indeed like, lets say, going through orders, ringing up the stock suppliers, following up the apparent missing delivery of new seedlings, not to forget the actual work on the pending orders... Damn! So much to the illusion... With a long suffering sigh he shoved his chair back, straightening to full hight, hands determinedly on the wooden table's surface. Staring ahead listlessly, he cursed his carelessness. Hadn't Omi caught him smoking in the back room, he wouldn't have had the means to "convince" him of taking up his cores while he prepared for his impending tests. Sure, he sympathized with the chibi for having school duties - the memories of his own school time let him shiver and bless the day he had -finally- graduated. But why did he of all have to take the chores, when someone like Aya was so much better for this kind of work? Ah yes, Aya had declined with no more than a raised brow and an unbeliveably impertinant smirk - yes, the bastard had smirked at him, as tiny as the quirk of his mouth might have been, it hadn't escaped Yohji Kudo's sharp eye - reminding him of that little incident... It had taken a moment, but then Yohji clearly remembered the incident... the thought had made him cringe inwardly, and he had resolved to retreat, muttering something unintelligible to himself. Aya had even have the cheekyness to call after him that he wasn't alone, as Ken would be there to assist him. Now, Yohji had his justified doubts about Ken's erm... abilities... to do the organisating chores. The he'd rather do it by himself, for his sanity's sake.
Pushing his shades up to their usual place, he stepped over to the sink, to close the tap with a determined twist, stopping the offending noise. He turned around to lean with his ass against the sink and combed his fingers through his hair, closing his eyes once more and just enjoying the silky texture of the wavy strands. A genuine smile curled his lips when he heard Ken's heavy foot steps hollering down the staircase. Inwardly bracing himself for the busy afternoon, he opened his eyes, pushed away from where he was standing and strode towards the door, unable to chase the smile from his face. The brainwork wouldn't kill him. Even a smart guy needed training from time to time. And working with that -what he found gentle- energy-bundle wasn't the worst pick either. Maybe the day wasn't too bad after all.
