General RP Owed Debt (Knight_of_None)

[Kasumi]

Lee was almost pleased with Ishida's judgement, ready to actually give Marko a chance... until the bastard jumped in, grabbing him by the hips. He held back telling the other to let go, giving him just a moment to do what he needed. That was until the other changed gears, turning his attention to Ishida. He crossed his arms over his chest, holding a hand out. "Give me your card then and I'll get some food while you mess with Ishi--" He sighed as he almost addressed his owner by name. "Gimme." He closed and opened his hand, waiting for the plastic card. He would accept cash, of course.

Really, he just wanted to see his reaction. He knew he wouldn't actually be getting any money.

 

[Knight_of_None]

Ishida flicked a look at Lee, almost as sharp as his razor when Lee used his ever so briefly. But Marco saved Lee from a slap...or perhaps got in the way just for that reason. "Here-" Marco said reaching to hus pocket, drawing out his wallet and dropping a handful of bills inti his hand. "Go on now-"

 

[Kasumi]

He was learning, if he wanted to be serious about being kept. He caught the look, Lee glancing away, his eyes falling back on Marko. When the other actually dropped money into his hand, Lee was surprised. He was also disappointed- he wanted to take his credit card and run up a huge bill. Bastard knew better. Closing his hand around the bills, he lowered it, contemplating his next step. Marko was actually trying to get rid of him.

He didn't want to leave Ishida alone with Marko, but after putting on such a show of leaving... "Fine. Have him. Get it out of your system. I'll just show off this pretty little outfit you made." Maybe get laid in the process-

"Takahashi~" He turned to his handler, grinning at him. "Come with me. My treat." They could go to a fast food place, somewhere cheap.

 

[Knight_of_None]

Ishida snorted. "Don't go too far, or I'll make you regret it." Ishida said 9ver his shoulder as Taka looked over. Ofcourse Ishida would follow through on it...how? Who knows. Taka scanned over him. "Oh? You have money now.?" Taka said as he stood up, slotting his book aside. He glanced at Ishida briefly as if confirming himself, but agave a half nod. "Fine."

 

[Kasumi]

Half disappointed and half amused, Lee let out a quiet laugh. "Counting the minutes I'll be gone?" He teased, pocketing the money before turning to Takahashi. "Mm, got lucky." After their silent exchange, Lee led Takahashi up the stairs and back outside. "Ugh," he groaned. "Fucking... I can't stand that guy." He sighed, looking around for the closest fast food place, his mind obviously elsewhere. "I can't stop him... But I don't want him messing with... that guy." Spotting a popular chain, he led Takahashi inside. Once it was their turn, he placed a simple burger and fry order before letting Takahashi place his order. He paid and eventually found a table.

 

[Knight_of_None]

"What, you want his loyalty?" Taka said as he sat down, levering open a container of nuggets. "He is your master." He reminded

 

[Kasumi]

"I..." Yeah... "I know," he sighed. He knew he shouldn't; it wasn't right of him, not his place. It was meant to be the other way around. He unwrapped his burger, quieting himself as he began to eat.

"It's not supposed to be that way," he mumbled after swallowing. Ishida was able to play around while Lee stayed behind, joining only when given permission. Not that he wanted to mess around with Marko, the thought made him shudder. "I'm not supposed to want him to want me only... even though I do." He could feel the heat in his cheeks, a red hue gracing them. "He would probably beat me for thinking such a thing."

 

[Knight_of_None]

"Is it even a punishment if you enjoy him pummeling you?" Taka said raising his brow at him. "You also fool around with me." He added

 

[Kasumi]

He snorted, "True. I still get the intention behind it, if he's unhappy with me." It hurt him in a rather different way. "I mean... You need to train me, right?" Despite that, they would end up fooling around outside of such tasks.

"As long as he comes back to me..." He mumbled, too quietly, unsure if Takahashi had caught it.

"I'm not being very fair." He decided with another sigh. He and Taka played around too much to limit Ishida like that. He just wanted to know in the end that Ishida still wanted him.

 

[Knight_of_None]

"You sound like you want more than to be merely owned." Takahashi said simply as he ate. Ofcourse he knew Lee pined to stay, but he didn't know that it ran so close to something that he'd think to call jealousy. Almost as if...."one would believe you love your master" He said

 

[Kasumi]

Lee's head tilted to the side ever so subtly, a small twitch rather, hearing those words. Upon the next ones spoken, he actually paused. He quickly covered up the suddenness by grabbing for a few more fries, popping them into his mouth so he couldn't speak. "Absolutely fucking not. Him? I'd be crazy." He responded after a moment, swallowing the wad of fries down. He lied, perhaps for the first time to Takahashi. There was no way he would know...

"I'm just being stupid and selfish. Nothing new," he covered, forcing himself not to look off to the side and give himself away. As anxiety filled him, however... He couldn't keep the gaze.

 

[Knight_of_None]

Taka watched Lee, the stioc trainer, this gangster seeing some if the most desperate floundering in his life without being under threat of blade or bullet. "Hm.okay." He said simply, allowing Lee his lie. "I suppose you're right. "

 

[Kasumi]

Lee was surprised, fully expecting the other to urge him to tell the truth, to toss orders his way. Similarly to when Ishida forced him to be truthful. He seemed to calm down, though he was still on edge. He couldn't trust any of them. "I could never. Anyway, what would be so terrible about that?"

Ah... Maybe... He shouldn't have said that, not after denying such a notion.

 

[Knight_of_None]

"Realistically? You would probably be turned into a bigger target. Whether or not he returns...your ..closeness, is not something I can really tell you, he's a hard man to read even to me at some levels." Taka said thoughtfully. "He might use it against you, certainly."

 

[Kasumi]

"A target? How so?" Why... He was aware Takahashi knew he was lying, but he couldn't bring himself to admit he had feelings for Ishida. He shouldn't; it was silly, falling for the sadistic bastard. Besides loving everything Ishida did for him, being the only one willing enough to hurt and take him by force, to give him a new purpose and drive for living... he didn't know where his feelings came from. Use it against him... It just wasn't worth it, it seemed. And yet, he couldn't help himself.

He leaned back in his seat, feeling a little lost and helpless. Hopeless was more like it.

 

[Knight_of_None]

"You...hypothetically, care for him, you would be seen as someone perhaps that would learn things or be in a position to know something of the operation. They would utilize that to try to take information." He said simply , shifting his head forward.

 

[Kasumi]

Hypothetically... He almost had to laugh, thankful for Takahashi's choice of wording. "I mean... I'm close to him now. What difference does it make if I had feelings for him?" He asked. Really, the prospect of losing Ishida would hurt him more. Those after Ishida would no doubt use that to their advantage.

 

[Knight_of_None]

"Love makes people desperate, if someone gives you a high enough threat to Ishida, you could betray his interests to protect his body." Taka said almost casually...probably something they had done themselves.

 

[Kasumi]

"Huh... Luckily, I don't care for him that way," he lied, looking away. He felt a little guilty just from his stupid feelings. Why? Why did he have to fall for him so hard? No, he wasn't in love with Ishida, just what the man did for him.

He couldn't even lie to himself properly.

"Please... keep this between us." He tried, knowing Takahashi had no reason to listen to him and respect his request. "I don't want any harm to come to him... because of me." Nothing should happen, anyway, as long as he stayed within the group.

 

[Knight_of_None]

"I won't keep a secret from my boss, if he asks, I will tell him." Taka said simply. But that was good enough. Ishida had no reason to ask it of him...or even consider if Lee had feelings for him

 

[Kasumi]

He feared that response, a frown evident on his face. But he nodded, having no choice but to accept it. Maybe the topic would never come up, maybe his secret would stay just that. Leaning forward, he quietly finished his meal. He didn't mean for anyone to find out, Lee mentally bashing himself.

"Ready to head back?" He asked, getting up to toss his trash in the bin and put the tray away. "I'm curious to see if they're actually fucking." He mused with a small laugh.

 

[Knight_of_None]

"What if they are?" Taka said as he shuffled his box inti the trash,, gently abd demurely wiping his hands and lips with a napkin.
