Spoiled little Rich Boy

[Syrrus]

Entering the library, soaked to the bone Syrrus didn't look like he was in the best of mods, in fact he looked damn right angry. Something that didn't happen often, no one had in fact seen him like that before. He was indeed furious. Mainly because he had spent half the night fighting with Tabatha about something she had found to be boring trivia, he had then returned home to his place and manly as one can be: cried the rest of the night, hence his blood shot eyes and dark rings beneath them.


Something else seemed off as well, he was carrying the violin case in his back but it looked strangely distorted. Turning around she shouted through the corridor, after Tabatha's high pitched scream about his lack of respect. "I said; shut up you impertinent wench of a woman!" Even when insulting someone from the top of his lunges, with anger spewing out of his ears Syrrus managed to sound awfully Victorian.


The young man slammed the door shut behind him turned and didn't even bother to apologize for his loudness, he was quite now after all. Moving away, quickly from the door he sat down at a table in the corner, near the radiator to try and get some heat through is ice cold body. Placing the cage on the table.

 

[LullDayBreak13]

Alex then sees Syrrus all wet "Woah, doesn't he have an umbrella or something..? He is so soaked." he said softly as Risa turned around and saw Syrrus, all his clothes and even his hair was wet. She excused herself from Alex and walked over to Syrrus. "Syrrus!" she called out to him as she takes out her handkerchief for him. "You are all wet... don't you have an umbrella with you?" she asked, sincerely worried about him and starts wiping his face dry and even his hair.


"How about we go to the school clinic first, we need to get you some dry towels..." she said, taking his hand and heads to the school clinic. There was no one at the moment and the nurse seems to have left a note saying she was out at the moment. Risa lets him sit on the chair and gets a towel for Syrrus and then starts drying his wet hair again. It seems like her handkerchief wasn't enough for him to dry. "Extra clothes.... I don't think there is some... do you have some in your locker?" she asked him while drying his hair.


When she didn't get an answer from him, he looked somehow mad, so she kept quiet. "I'm sorry...." she said, somehow she was talking too much and she felt the need to stay quiet for him.

 

[Syrrus]

Syrrus didn't answer a single question, mainly because he thought the answer was already obvious. He was poor, he had no cloths and he couldn't even afford a umbrella. The reason to why he was always clean was due to his way with women, if he would catch a cold some lady or other would take him in. The science teacher already had her eyes on him after all.


"Don't apologize." He said, however. It wasn't Risa's fault that he was upset or not dry, she was kind enough to try and help him and he supposed he had to be grateful, giving her a kind smile. "Should you really leave your friend out there though? Tabatha is out on a mad spree and is probably going to eat him alive." Syrrus coughed and frowned with slight annoyance.

 

[LullDayBreak13]

"Ah... I'm sure Alex knows I'm worried about you, he should know that...." Risa said as she goes over to some of the cabinets of the room and luckily, she found some extra clothes for both boys and girls. It was quite convenient. It looked like some jerseys but that was enough. "Oh here Syrrus, I know these aren't you're type of clothes but I think these are enough for you, it's even dry so change into these." she said, giving him the change of clothes.


Risa received a text message from Alex and smiled "See? He was also worried about you." she said the message said 'Is Syrrus alright? Well if it's you Risa, I'm sure you will take care of him.' she showed the message to Syrrus. After that, she remembered something and smiled widely. "Oh yeah Syrrus, I've got some good news! You get to meet my mom today and say she will give you a job." she said and gently put his hand on top of his. "Syrrus... I really want to help you Syrrus, as a..... friend, I want to help you." she smiled gently at him, somehow she looked like an angel.

 

[Syrrus]

Syrrus looked down at the cloths he gave him. The trousers was far too big for him, but he guessed the shirt had to do. Removing his jacket he read the message she showed him, not certain what to think. Guys never usually cared much about his wellbeing, they same him as a threat, as a mister perfect. He supposed he could take that as a compliment.


"Really? That isn't necessery..." He said, blushing slighty as he felt her hand ontop of his own. He gently removed himself from her so he could remove his tshirt. Something to know about Syrrus; he wasn't prudish and therefore didn't mind taking off his shirt in front of a girl, no matter if they were involved or not.


What Risa saw was a set of well sculpted chest muscles, strong but not obnoxious biceps and a toned stomach, which was flat enough to eat off of. He was indeed attractive, god liked so. It almost seemed as if he had been sculpted by the Greek gods themselves.

 

[LullDayBreak13]

Risa was surprised that he started taking his top off. She was flustered and then started to blush madly as she turns around and looks away from him. "I... I'm sorry! I forgot that you were supposed to change! I'll j-just go to this corner and closes my eyes, I promise I won't peek!" she said innocently. That was actually her first time seeing a half naked guy and she wasn't even prepared for it. "Uhm....." she became silent for a moment as she could even feel her heart beating rapidly after seeing his perfectly toned body.


'Oh god... was he always that hot?!' she thought to herself as she shakes her hands and mentally scolds herself . 'No! No Risa! You are hellping him as a friend!' after a few minutes when he was finally finished changing, she turned around and sighed in relief. "S-s-sorry about that.... it was actually my first time seeing a guy half naked like that....." she said, and apologized again. Risa held her cheeks to hide her blushing cheeks. "Forgive me for now... ahhh, isn't it too hot here?" she said, avoiding eye contact to Syrrus and was fanning herself with her hand.

 

[Syrrus]

That was like a secret language to Syrrus. He knew exactly what the colour of her cheeks, her body language and her stuttering tongue. It would have been hard not to. Walking forward, slowly, trying to decide in his head what to do he then decided to proceed with his actions. "It's alright." He whispered slightly.


The rain was falling heavily outside, water drumming against the window. Thunder roar and lightning flashed. It was all too easy, too story book for him not to. Which was why he did it and also because she had been awfully kind to him. For no reason.


Syrrus leaned forward, being a head taller than her. He placed two fingers under her chin and all too gently directed it upwards so he could look her in the eyes as his face moved closer. Inches from her lips, he could feel her breath against his, he whispered: "I apologize." And then he did it, without regret and so gently as if he thought she'd break beneath his touch.


He kissed her.

 

[LullDayBreak13]

"Huh?" Risa was surprised when he suddenly placed his fingers on her chin, but then whats surprised her more was when he suddenly kissed her. She would usually slap someone if they even tried to kiss her, but when he held her so gently, like she was some fragile thing. She didn't hate it, it was the opposite, she liked it and that made her blush even more. The thought of even kissing the most handsome guy in campus, her whole face was all flustered as she almost lost her strength from standing up.


When he finished kissing her, she looked down and covered her mouth. She was speechless at first and remained quiet for a few minutes. Risa had to hold onto his arms for awhile since she lost her strength from just being kissed. It was her first kiss, she wasn't expecting this. She actually looked like a girl who was in love right now that it was oh so adorable but somehow, it looked erotic as well. Risa looked up at Syrrus and stared at him.


"S-Syrrus....t-that was my first kiss...." she said softly, her slender but fragile figure was so close to his that it was almost as if they were about to kiss again.

 

[Syrrus]

Syrrus looked down at her, not sure what to say. His heart was beating hard against his chest, hard enough to make him sway slightly back and forward, it wasn't noticeable to her, but he felt it as a strong wave against his body. She had broke away from the kiss, he could have stood there for hours, in fact he could get back in without a single thought of regret. This was different, not at all what he was used to.


What if they ruined it all? Their friendship that they had collected over these past days? He had never had a friend before but he felt that pain in his heart, that pain that only meant one thing. It lays in human nature to want reach for something higher. What if they loved like fools and would lose it all?


"I don't know what to do, tell me.. Because I don't want to lose, I don't want you to go but I want you so... Tell me what we'll chose?"


He said, his hands resting on her waists, how they had gotten there was a mystery to him. Syrrus always acted on impuls.

 

[LullDayBreak13]

Risa wasn't too sure as well on what to say next, she just stood there, gazing into his eyes. Her first kiss was taken by Syrrus, a man who has kissed hundreds of women already. But then he was also Syrrus, a man who need someone to be with me. She doesn't even know what she is feeling right now. Her chest hurts so much just by looking at him, even thinking about the kiss thy just made. She puts her hunger on her lower lip, as if she can still feel the warmth of the kiss they just shared together.


All she knew is that, she felt like she wanted to stay with him for now. But also the friendship she had with him for these past few days was like a miracle to her. Syrrus helped her in many ways already. She held on to his broad shoulders with her hands and said "I... I don't know either..." she answered. Her cheeks, still flushed from the nervousness she still has around him.


"I don't know Syrrus.... I've never felt this before.... I'm just as confused as you are... I don't know this feeling, I've never felt it before actually.... my chest hurts...." she said, putting her other hand on top of her chests. "...it hurts whenever I think about you right now... ever since last night..." she said softly "I...wonder why..." she said and looks down.

 

[Syrrus]

Syrrus smiled softly. He could easily explain to her why she felt the way she did, he was after all an expert when it came down to it. How to deal with emotion and how to exploit them was one of this greater skills, not that it was a secret to her. He had, after all, told her every little secret back him.


Instead of explaining the feeling and relieving her of the confusing thoughts that probably went through her head, Syrrus decided it was for the best to simply let them sink in, perhaps she would come to a explanation on her very own, without his help.


"We can pretend as if nothing happened. When you know what your feelings are then... come and tell me, okay?" Syrrus kissed her forehead before moving away. It was better that way, he knew exactly what he wanted but if she had difficulty deciding it would be for the best to let it be, for now at least. He would always have that kiss, he supposed.

 

[LullDayBreak13]

Risa nodded and was kissed on her forehead by Syrrus. She lightly blushed as she can hear people outside the room just passing by. "Oh... I... I need to go now, a-and later we can go to my house, so we can meet later after school ends, at the library." she said as she runs away from the room, embarrassed again and heads straight to the library.


Alex was about to head out from the library when he bumped into Risa. "W-woah there... easy girl." he said as he held her shoulders gently. "What's the rush? Oh and is Syrrus okay now? Where is he?" he asked as Risa blushed when he said Syrrus' name. "H-he is okay now...." she answered and smiled at him like nothing happened. Alex knew something happened and he could tell by just looking at her. "Well if that's what you say then..." he said and pats her head gently. "I was just about to look for you anyway, since our class starts in 15 minutes, so let's go now." he said as Risa gets her bag from the counter and then goes with Alex to their first class.

 

[Syrrus]

Syrrus ended up staring out the window, mumbling to himself. He was used to being the center of the universe, someone who people ran for when he came walking. Someone who every woman wanted and every man wanted to be. He frowned, baffled by his own thoughts. He couldn't believe how his mind now worked, it had crossed his mind a few times, the idea of him being irrelevant.


It wasn't him that people wanted to be with or wanted to be, in fact... it was the persona that he had created and no one, not a single one would notice if he stood up and left, if he never was to return. If he was gone.


The girl who he had loved, his first ever proper love had seen him as irrelevant. He excised when she was lonely, a bit like Risa had excised to him. He had run miles for Leyla but Leyla had just been standing still. She would always be fine without him, no matter what but in her excellence, when he considered her a goddess it hit him that he had forgotten himself. She had controlled his thoughts and he had not even sat a foot in hers. The worst part though what that he desperately still wanted someone who never wanted him.


Leyla had been burning bridges and Syrrus had been building hopes. He realized, while watching the rain hit the window as he picked up his things to leave the room. That he now were comparing Leyla to Risa and slowly replacing her.


And with that he left the room. Wearing a shirt he would never put on. His head messy, cheeks slightly rosy and with a broken Violin on his back.

 

[LullDayBreak13]

Risa had classes going for the whole day, until her classes ended. She was now at the library, doing some research for her french class. She was actually getting good at speaking french. Although, she doesn't use it that much. Alex was with her but had to go an org meeting with some friends. "Sorry Risa, I gotta go now, thanks for helping me with my notes again, I'll be sure to pay you back next time." he said putting his book back in his bag and also his notes as well. "Oh it's fine, I'll just finish up my homework here, see you next time." she said as she continued writing her homework.


After several hours have passed, Risa was done with all her assignments for the week and puts them back in her bag. She stands up and returns the borrowed books to their shelves. She remembered Syrrus helping her one time and it made her cheeks blushed. 'It's this feeling again...' she thought, her heart beating fast whenever she thinks about him. "What is this feeling...." she mumbled to herself.


After returning the books, she goes to the counter and sorts out the borrowed books and then reads another book. She looked at her watch, she really looked like she was expecting Syrrus to come any moment now but she told herself to calm down and be patient. Risa continued to read the book about romeo and juliet.

 

[Syrrus]

The dangerous thing with being a young student without a bed is to stay in the library. It was funny how no one had noticed him, not that he had expected anyone to notice him the way he slept, on top of one of the bookshelves. It was a great spot to be to hide from teachers, fan girls and sport blokes. It wasn't comfortable by any mean but it was at least a good hiding spot.


Syrrus woke up, at the same time as Risa was expecting him and jumped off the bookshelf. Yawning all too loudly. He walked through the library towards the counter where he saw that familiar face and gave her a tired smile. Hosting up the Violin case over his back. Waving slightly.


"Sorry to keep you waiting, Blossom. How's things going for you?"

 

[LullDayBreak13]

Risa flinched when she got surprised by the sudden voice of Syrrus and looked up at him. "Oh h-hey there Syrrus, you surprised me there a bit." she said as she closed the book and decided to borrow this book from the library. She noticed his violin and remembered him playing it back the party last time. "Oh yeah, let's go to my house now, but first we need to pick up my little sister from school." she said and puts the borrowed book in her bag.


They walk out from the library and then out from the school campus. After that, they arrived at the train station. "Good thing it stopped raining, huh?" she said, trying to make a conversation for them to talk about. "Oh yeah, I think May will find it fun with you around." she added and smiled at him. "My little sister is always looking forward to having new friends, so I thought it would also be fun for you too, are you good with kids?" she asked as she goes into the train and sits down.


The thought of May wanting to play with Syrrus looked cute that it made her giggle a bit. "Haha, so cute." she said to herself.

 

[Syrrus]

Syrrus followed in silence, nodding and smiling when he had to, to show his interest. He was indeed very interested in what the young girl was telling him. He was tired too... by a little. "I'm not so sure. " He said, scratching the back of his head as they stood on the train station. "I suppose I am... I have never really been around kids for long enough." Truth to be told he had never been around kids for longer than a few minutes. They weren't really his type of people, mainly because there was nothing he could do with them that could be useful. A child could hardly feed him for a weekend.


Syrrus was watching the trains go by with a blissful look on his face. He enjoyed the idea of travel by train, it was the most picturesque way to travel.

 

[LullDayBreak13]

Silence was all there ever was between them. Risa didn't know what to say to Syrrus but when they finally arrived at May's school, she saw May playing tag with her friends. "Maaaay!" she called out as the little girl heard her voice and turned around. "Big siiiiiiis!" she said running up to Risa and gives her a warm hug. "Ahaha." little May giggled as she says goodbye to her friends and takes her bag with her. May sees the guy from before and smiled "Aha! It's big brother!" she pointed at him with an innocent grin.


"May, it's rude to point at others, you know that." Risa said as May giggled and bowed her head "Oh, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to big brother." she said and had the look of feeling guilty about it. "It's okay, just as long as you don't do it ever again, alright?" she kneels down to look at her at the same level as May was. "Okaaaay!" she answered and hugged Risa again.

 

[Syrrus]

Big brother? Now that was a thing he had never been called before. He had heard pretty much everything else at least once, even 'daddy' had been up there with some of the odds. The fact that his thoughts went instantly to something less innocent made him rather ill and he had to compel himself not to look disgusted as he smiled down at the little girl. "Hello May, how are you today? Is the flower I gave you still nice and pretty or do I have to go and pick some more?"


He assumed acting charming was his only way of being nice to someone. Syrrus didn't want to be anything else but nice, sometimes it was hard to differ the two however. He took a strong grip of his violin case, hanging it neatly over one shoulder as he looked between Risa and May with tired Eyes.

 

[LullDayBreak13]

May nodded "Yeah! I have it in my room too!" May giggled as she noticed something was wrong with Syrrus. "Are you okay big brother?" she asked, now worried as Risa stands up and looks at Syrrus. "Syrrus? Are you okay? You look tired..." she said, and now worried. She looked at him for a moment and decided something. "Come on, it'll be just a few blocks away from our home, so let's get there first, and you can get some rest there for now Syrrus." she said kindly and held on to his hand.


When they finally got back, their mother was already back and was about to prepare dinner when she saw Risa and the others. "Oh my, Risa, is something wrong with this boy?" she asked, also worried and came over to help him.


((sorry it's short))

 

[Syrrus]

Did he look weird? He hadn't considered that. Peering down at himself as he felt her grab on to his hand. Syrrus wasn't certain himself why he felt so tried, perhaps it had something to do with the depression that was slowly sinking in. He usually stood by the lamppost outside the theater house and played his violin until late at this hour. Perhaps it was that? It wasn't about Risa, he knew that much. Syrrus was happy enough to have shared that intimate kiss with her, with rain against a window and his heart beating loudly. It was more than he could have asked really. Smiling down at May as they walked he shook his head. "Don['t worry little princess. I'll be right as rain."


Indeed, right as rain; he always got up when he had fallen down. Syrrus wasn't one to let depression get the better of him. However, he felt as if something had broken him. Something that he didn't know what to do about.


As they reached Risa's home his heart sank. He hadn't prepared himself at all to meet her mother. What would he do if she didn't like him?! He had never had problem with women's parents, mainly because most of them were old enough to live by themselves, far far away from their family but also because the younger females often didn't mean jack to him so if their parents hated him he couldn't care less.


As he stepped inside and once again heard a comment about him not looking alright he frowned slightly and did his best to look at his reflection through a window. He didn't look that bad did he?

 

[LullDayBreak13]

"Mom! He is the guy I was talking about this morning, so? What's your decision?" Risa asked, expecting an answer from her mother who looked rather serious now and smiled at him. "May dear, can you please go upstairs for now, the three of us will have talk about important things now." she said sweetly to her child while patting May as May nodded with a giggled and goes upstairs to her room. Risa was amazed how obedient May was when it comes to their mother.


Risa pats Syrrus at the back softly as she smiled, trying to reassure him with her smile, like she was telling her that it will be alright. "It seems like you look quite the playboy as the rumors say huh..." she said, with seriousness in her eyes. She looked like she wasn't playing around as well. "My daughter here talked about you about your problem with finance and other things, and seeing that my daughter right here is too much of a softhearted person, she decided to help you. "And you want a job right?" she said, her arms crossed while watching his every move like killer.


Risa just watched from the sidelines and decided to prepare some tea for them. Her mother looked at her phone and started to text someone and it immediately got an answer. She seemed like yakuza boss now and clicked her tongue as she sighed. She was like a different person from before. "That stupid excuse of a..... fine..." she said and looks at Syrrus. Risa was finished making tea and puts two cups with tea in it on the table near the sofa. 'It seems like it's getting serious here...but then, that's mom.' she thought and puts back the tray to the kitchen.

 

[Syrrus]

Sitting on the sofa and not at all feeling comfortable Syrrus decided that it was best just to be himself. She called him a playboy, he wasn't certain that term sat well with him, of course that was one way of calling it but when girls were that easy to get hold of why wouldn't he? Rude, maybe but he couldn't help it. He did however smile at the lady in front of him. "Actually, I do prefer being called a Casanova, the modern term fits the rich a lot better, don't you think?" Admitting it was the first step for recovery, as they said. Not that Syrrus was planning on any recovery.


The young man's face fell upon Risa and he smiled a little more, she was adorable and surprisingly quiet while her mother was tearing him apart. He looked back up at the woman. "Shouldn't you be asking me what I am able to do? I am quite useless if you don't count quick fingers. I can play the violin, piano and even the saxophone." He saw this not only a opportunity to show off in front of his favorite girl but a way to show himself as someone that the rumors didn't speak of. "I also speak a few languages. Japanese and French being two of them. Except that I suppose I fancy myself a bit of a poet, hah... Well, in my own perspective."


He held a finger in the air, smiling still. "Also, the job idea was your daughters. I've explained a few times now that she certainly don't need to give me any kindness or help. I've stand on my own two feet for this long. But she kept insisting."

 

[LullDayBreak13]

Hearing him explain himself, Risa's mother's stare turned into a kind smile. "Good good!" she said simply and hugged him. "You passed the test my boy!" she said while hugging him as Risa giggled at her mother. "Oh my, I've always wanted to act like a mafia boss, and it went well as I planned!" she said, praising herself. "You can be Risa's boyf-mmmphh!" Risa immediately covered her mother's mouth while smiling calmly like nothing was wrong with it. "Oh my mom, it seems like you need to take your medicine now." she said, still her hand on her mother's mouth. "Haha sorry." she said, taking Risa's hand off from her mouth.


"So you can do those kinds of things, how about being a performer in a club? A friend of mine is the owner of the club and it seems like he is looking for someone who can perform. Well, it's not really a club, kind of like a private club for only the richest people here in town." she said and she even takes out a flyer out her purse and hands it to Syrrus. "Classical and Jazz music is their main attraction there, so I do hope you can work here." she said with a kind smile.


"Oh and mom!" Risa said as she whispers something to her mother. "Oh don't worry! That is already taken care of, my friend is really a nice guy." she said with a smile "Oh and I'll add something, the performers who work there, they have a dorm near the club as well, and it's even free. The maintenance of the dorm is pretty good as well, complete with a clean bathroom, a bedroom, kitchen, living room." she grinned.

 

[Syrrus]

Syrrus had to admit, he got quite a little afraid when the mother went up and hugged him. He had not seen that coming but then... he hadn't seen Risa coming either so perhaps it was a family thing he simply could not understand? However, he couldn't quite stop himself from smirking from ear to ear when the woman mention something that sounded a lot like 'boyfriend'. Looking over at Risa he winked her way. "I can see what I can do about that, ma'am, I am quite the busy guy." Busy in the sense of goofing off and not doing what he was supposed to do, more like.


Syrrus took hold of the flier she placed in his hand and his eyes widened. She couldn't be serious. He would work as a performer?! It was like a dream come true but then his heart sank and he peered towards the violin case by his side. "I do hope your friend has his own instruments that I may borrow, if he does, I'd be honored."
