Because of you(RN only rated M for yaoi content!)

"Ah, thanks," Sora replied, being the only one who could taste what was really missing. Well, maybe he was just imagining it because he thought he knew what was missing. Could be some kind of placebo of some sort, maybe. It tasted different than regular pancakes, but Ryota was oblivious, thankfully. "What do you plan on doing today?" he asked him, since he didn't know what he was doing either. "Anything good?"

Ryota was making quick work of his pancakes, finishing as Sora asked him what he was doing today. "Hmmm, I have nooo idea" he admitted, shrugging. He pushed his plate back and sighed, slouching over. He was always more awake after eating, but he was still kind of tired, as expected from him. "Well as long as you're with me it'll be good, but I have no idea. You got any plans?" he asked, tilting his head to the side.

"Not really, but I think we need to ask if we have chore duty again," Sora said, since Pein always went on about them not doing enough or just lazing about and never working. It basically all centered around them not working hard or enough. Sora did, kind of. Ryota did when Sora asked him for help, but other then that, it's not like they did any more or any less then the rest of the Akatsuki did.

Ryota sighed and rolled his eyes. "Again!?" he asked, letting his head fall onto the table. "They're so boooring! And what else could there be to do? We did it all yesterday!" he groaned. He knew he shouldn't be makeing a big deal about it, but still. He had better things to do with his life, even if he didn't know what they were yet.

"Yeah, I know," Sora said, "but if we don't do them when they're there, they'll pile up like they had and we'll never get anything accomplished. Besides, look forward to if none of them. There might not be for all we know," he added, shrugging. "I mean, we did cover a lot of them yesterday, maybe there aren't anymore for a bit. A break, kind of. But if we have a break, then what?"

Ryota brightened at this idea, smiling now. "Hmm. If a break then. . . I don't know. Anything that involves us being entertained, and no chores" he stated the obvious, having no idea what else to say. He would probably come up with something stupidly random for them to do, and they would have fun, unless they actually had chores to do, and then they would just be bored for however long that took.

"Yep, sounds good," Sora agreed, since chores were just something he really didn't feel like doing today. "But whatever we get is what we get. If we go out complaining loudly he might give us more, but if we accept them, do them well enough and still don't complain, maybe he'll let us off and give someone else these." Well, he hoped so anyway. Sora knew he did the chores because he wasn't part of the Akatsuki, so he had to pay them back some way.

Ryota sighed, nodding. "I know. It's so hard not to complain though. Especially since they're such dull jobs. Really, who would want to do them, ever?" he asked, rolling his eyes. Maybe Tobi, but only if it made someone else happy. Now that was something they could do. Pass the chores off onto Tobi to do while they went off and had fun. That would work.

"Yeah, but it's not always a choice, and we owe it to the base for keeping us here and all," Sora said, glad they hadn't been thrown out for disturbing the peace a lot. Mostly at nights, but on the occasion they could disturb the peace in the morning. That would be a reason to kick them out if they didn't do the stuff, right? Not really fair, but he cold see why anyway.

Ryots sighed, knowing that he was right, as much as he didn't want that to be the truth. "Hmm, well really they can't throw me out, becuase I work here, and both of us know too much, if they wanted to get rid of us we'd probably just be killed" he pointed out, laughing slightly. "And plus, if they kick you out, Pein knows I'll leave" he added.

Sora laughed almost nervously. "Yeah, I think that's what I'm afraid of," he said. "I don't want you killed and I think it's better for you to be here around your dad, so I don't want you to permanently leave either." Taking him traveling for a bit was a different story, but if they were both on the road, it might be a little rougher. He didn't know how much Ryota knew about traveling and such, but normally when Sora had traveled with others they had been experience like himself. He didn't want Ryota getting hurt or being unhappy traveling, so it was more or less best of him to be here.

Ryota laughed and smiled, liking how nice that sounded. "I don't want you killed either, but I'd leave my dad if you had to leave. I'd do anything for you, as I've said before" he said with a smile. He knew enough about travelling to not be a burden or anything if they had to leave, since he had to be on missions alot of the time, which involved travelling most of the time, to an extent.

"I wouldn't want you to miss him and be unhappy though," Sora said, watching him for an expression other then just the usual cute look and optimisticness that always covered his face and words. "If you got lonely and missed the base, I wouldn't want you to be disappointed or anything and have any feelings of regret." Sora would feel guilty if Ryota got sad because of him. "And we all know how much Tobi would miss you. You might miss the little bugger, y'know?" he added, trying not to sound as serious as he wished he could make this conversation.

Ryota looked at the tabe for a moment, his smille dissappearing. "I'd miss you more if you had to leave, than I'd miss my dad if I had to leave" he said seriously, looking back up to him. "I wouldn't be dissappointed, and I deffinitly wouldn't regret it if it were the only way I could be with you" he sighed. He was in love, and deffinitly sounded like it. He couldn't help but laugh at the comment about Tobi. "Yeah, no. There's no way I'd miss him. But you never know, he might follow us" he said, grinning.

((>.< Holy He** (yeah, if only I could say that now ^^ My lower back hurts so much! I have no idea why, but I can barely sit up or sit without it feeling like someone hit my spine with a hammer. It'll probably wear off, but I have no idea why it hurts so much! What would you do if this has happened to you?))

"I guess, but would he be allowed to? I would think the only reason he'd be following us would be because Pein didn't trust us and he was sending Tobi behind us to make sure we didn't share any information, y'know?" Sora sad, since Pein might not let any others out of the base after that. He wouldn't want anyone else up and leaving. It wasn't good for the Akatsuki to lose members, so no one else unless a hindrance would be permitted to leave the group.

((uwaa!! poor buddy!! >.< i wonder what happened? i would probably lie down all day if it felt like that. . . screw everyone else. >.< i hope you feel betterrr!! you might wanna try ice on it maybe? i dunno if youve already tried it, or if itll help, but you never know ^.^" feel better!))

Ryota thought this over, laughing when he came to a conclusion. "He'd probably come anyways, just to make sure his senpai's kid doesn't get hurt or 'do anything naughty'" he said with a laugh, able to picture that perfectly. Like Tobi could stop them from doing something like that. Or anything really. He wouldn't have been surprised at all if the masked idiot really did follow them somewhere if they left.

((I don't have ice, and it's gotten better, some what. I'll probably wake up in loads of pain though ^^; Ah well, I'll get over it, though I fall when I'm walking and it hurts X3 I fell when I was going up stairs today, actually.))

"That'd be such a pain if he came along just for that. I can see it now and it's not funny," Sora said, laughing despite having said it wouldn't have been funny if Tobi did that. "I can see us totally making out and all, and then Tobi would come up and say something about us being too young for this or some other silly reason no one listens to." It'd be annoying and eventually Sora would get too agitated from sex deprivation.

((>.< poor buddy. umm, make ice then? it wouldn't take too long. Or just take something out of ur freezer. anything frozen. i fall up stairs all the time ^.^ including at school, which is embarassing heheh. hope you fell betterrr))

Ryota laughed as well, despite the fact that it wouldn't be that funny. "Well we could always either one, scar his virgin eyes by going at it, or two, knock him out and ditch his body somewhere when we wanna go at it" he said, laughing again. Such easy solutions for such an annoying pest. Tobi wasn't worth much effort, so it was a good thing it was so easy to solve the problem.

((Bravo buddy, bravo. I'll feel better eventually))

"I like those ideas, it could work, too," Sora mused, not thinking about it too hard but using it as something to consider should anything like that happen. "The first one sounds like he'd still try to break us up though, like just pulling us apart would be enough and he'd keep an eye on one of us." Tobi wasn't as stupid as everyone believed him to be. Tobi knew enough other optional solutions to various situations.

((good >.<))

Ryota laughed when Sora brought that up. "Good point. But that's where you knock him out and go at it anyways" he said happily, grinning. "It's like a back up. When in doubt, knock him out anyways" he laughed. He would be completely fine with knocking out the idiot all the time, and maybe they could even knock him out and get a good few hours to get away from him on one of his birds, which would leave him with no way to find them, hopefully.

"It would work, I guess," Sora said, since Ryota's last resorts or even the first ones would resort to violence and knocking someone out and junk. It did work, he'd resorted to it a couple times in the past, but it wasn't the first idea that came to mind like it was with Ryota. But at least Ryota was the one to come up with the better plans like this out of the two.

Ryota grinned and leaned his elbows on the table, proud of his amazing plan. KNocking out Tobi always solved the problem. "It would be interesting, that's for sure" he said, laughing. He was amazed at how a conversation had gone from serious, to not, to serious, and back. It had gone so quickly, but he didn't mind. "I doubt anyone would really care if we just killed him either. . ." he thought out loud, smirking slightly. Oh how he would love to kill the moron.

"Ah, dunno," Sora responded. "Whether Pein finds him useful or not would be the answer, but other than him, I doubt too many would mind. The only thing they'd notice was that he wasn't there in their ears shouting and claiming him as a good boy and all." Well, that's what Sora would notice, but what else would be missed about the orange masked guy? "What would you notice first if he was gone?"

Ryota laughed and nodded in agreement. He didn't think Pein would need him for anything, but you never know. "Hm, probably that he's not annoying me all the time and cornering me to tell me I'm too young for sex" he replied, snickering. He'd gotten that more than once from Tobi, as stupid as it was. He was nineteen, which was deffinitly old enough.

"I wonder if Tobi's ever had sex," Sora pondered, not able to envision anyone getting him to take his mask off so they could kiss him or whatever. He didn't think anyone had been with him, because he probably always said no or some other annoying reason. He didn't think anyone would want to do him because he was too annoying and acted too immature.
