Summary: Everybody knows that Ueda Tatsuya dislikes Nishikido Ryo but what he hates the most is wearing girl's clothes. One ordinary night, Ryo stumbles upon a maid cafe and found one of the maids overly familiar.
Author's Note: i have a Kaichou wa Maid-sama hangover. LOOOOL. It's been a while. SORRRRRY.
"Uebo~!" Junno called
Tatsuya was on his way to the agency when Junno caught up with him. As the two of them were entering the building, Yamapi was just on his way out carrying some flowers.
"What's with the flowers, Pi? Got a date?" Junno stopped and asked while Tatsuya just continued walking.
"Nope. Going to visit Ryo at the hospital. " Yamapi said.
Tatsuya stopped upon hearing the news.
"Eh? Nishikido?" Junno confirmed.He's surprised because Ryo doesn't really like being confined in the hospital. For him to be there, something serious must have happened.
"Yes. That guy's doing silly stuffs lately."
"What happened to him?" Junno asked.
Tatsuya was just standing there listening to their conversation.
"Came to our dressing room yesterday dripping wet."
"So he caught a fever?"
"Yep and broke his forearm."
"Broke his forearm? Again? How? Why?"
"I don't know with that idiot. I need to go. I still have work after I visit him." Pi said.
"Sure. Tell Nishikido I said Hi." Junno said.
Yamapi just nodded and went off.
Junno placed his arms on Tatsuya's shoulder and dragged him to their dressing room.
***flashback***
Ryo left Tatsuya by the pool as he made his way back to NEWS' dressing room where the other members are waiting to be called for the continuation of their recording.
He was dripping wet and everyone inside the room was staring at him.
"Where have you been?" Yamapi asked.
"In case you haven't noticed, I went swimming." Ryo said sarcastically.
"With your clothes on?" Koyama asked.
"Yes, with my clothes on and in this breezy weather we have."
Everyone was looking at each other and understood that Ryo was getting annoyed. They decided to keep quiet. Ryo went over to his bag and when he lifted it, pain
hithim. His right forearm was bleeding and he felt that it was broken.
"AHHHH!" he shouted in pain, his left hand holding his right forearm.
The rest of NEWS immediately came to his side to check what happened to him.
"You're bleeding! What happened?" Shige asked.
"It's broken! My forearm is broken! Do something!" Ryo shouted.
Tegoshi and Massu called their manager and a few minutes later, they were all in a van rushing Ryo to the hospital. He didn't have time to change and caught a cold
that led to his fever. He was asked by the manager to stay in the hospital to recover faster.
***end of flashback***
Yamapi arrived at Ryo's hospital room and found him lying in bed with magazines scattered and constantly battling with the remote control in search of a good show to
watch
"Good to see that you're feeling better." Pi said
"I'm good. You know that. I need to get out of here." Ryo said. He had his right forearm in a cast.
Pi brought his hand to Ryo's forehead to check if he still has a fever.
"Fever's gone huh?"
"Yes. So please get me out of here."
"Manager-san said you need to stay 'til tomorrow."
"but--"
"Johnny's orders."
"Pfft."
Ryo then decided to just turn off the TV and grabbed a magazine. He was wearing his big reading glasses.
"You still haven't told me what happened to you yesterday and why you broke your forearm." Pi said.
"None of your business." Ryo replied.
"Tell me or else I'm telling Manager-san to extend your stay here." Pi threatened
"Ugh! Okay. Just don't do that."
"So?"
"I slipped."
"Slipped?"
"Yes. As simple as that. I was walking around the pool and I slipped so I landed on the water and I didn't realize that my forearm hit the concrete until I went back to the dressing room." Ryo lied.
Pi didn't say anything.
"Like seriously, Pi. Johnny decides to build a pool in a talent agency and I was just unfortunate to have an accident there. Don't try to overthink things." Ryo said.
"If you say so, Ryo. But just to remind you, you can tell me anything." Pi said.
"I know."
If things aren't complicated, Yamapi will be the first one to know about everything that's been happening recently.

Tatsuya was being absent-minded during rehearsal that the choreographer snapped at him 3 times. He kept on apologizing but it seems like he was really not focused. The fourth time he messed up, Sanche called it a day and told everyone to pack up. Kame was first to approach Tatsuya to ask what's bothering him.
"Nothing. I just--I think I need a rest. Sorry." Tatsuya said as he rushed to get his bag and walked out of the rehearsal room.
He felt anxious as he made his way out of the building. He brought with him the bento that their manager gave him before their rehearsal and got into his car. He drove to the hospital where Ryo was confined. He received a message from an unknown number what hospital Ryo's in and what his room number is.
After a while, he found himself standing outside Ryo's room, bento in hand and heart pounding.
He took a deep breath and was about to knock when the door suddenly burst open. In a second, he and Ryo are staring right into each other's eyes. Tatsuya's face was flushed as their faces were so close and it's the first time he saw Ryo look like that. Wearing those nerd glasses in his pajamas, his hair ruffled and his face make-up less.
Ryo himself was surprise as to what was waiting for him behind the door. He was about to go out and get some fresh air. He felt the awkwardness surrounding them and stepped back. As he did, Tatsuya saw his cast.
"What are you doing here?" Ryo asked trying his best to hide his injury.
"I--I-Someone told me you broke your arm." Tatsuya said.
"So? If you're thinking that it's because of you, it's not.""
"But--"
Ryo heard people coming down the corridor and pulled Tatsuya inside the room and closed the door.
"People might see you. What will we say? You visiting me is just a fanfiction that came to life." Ryo said.
"Well, I'm sorry if I'm worried." Tatsuya blurted out.
When he realized what he said, he fell silent. Ryo on the other hand grinned. He approached Tatsuya slowly and whispered to him.
"You know, I need a maid to take care of me right now. Is it possible for you to get a nurse costume and help me feel better?"
Tatsuya was in panic and pushed Ryo.
"Aw!"
Tatsuya hit Ryo's right arm. Hearing Ryo's cry of pain, he immediately helped the other back to his bed. He decided to call a nurse through the intercom but Ryo stopped him.
"Don't. What are we going to tell them when they ask what happened?"
"That you were trying to harass me--"
"You can say that to them?"
Tatsuya did not answer.
"Well, if that's what you're going to say, go ahead and make a call." Ryo said.
Tatsuya clicked his tongue in annoyance.
"If you want to make it up to me, you can consider my request. I can call Yasu and tell him to make that nurse costume for you."
"HAHA. Very funny."
"I was just suggesting."
"I don't need your suggestions."
"Whatever you say."
Ryo noticed the bento that Tatsuya was holding.
"Is that for me?" He asked and pointed at the bento.
"Oh. Uh...yeah. I just thought you haven't eaten yet and hospital food isn't really the tastiest."
Ryo smiled.
"You made them?" Ryo asked.
"No. It was supposed to be my lunch but I'm not hungry. You can have it." Tatsuya said as he gave them to Ryo.
"Thanks."
"Go ahead and eat it."
"Uhhh, I can't."
"Why? You don't like cheap bentos like this? Well, I'm sorry if it doesn't fit your taste Nishikido-sama."
"It's not that Hime-chan. I would love to eat and I'm really hungry but I can't because if you still haven't noticed, my right forearm is in a cast."
"So? You can use your left hand, right?"
"I can write and do many things with my left hand but I always eat with my right. I can't eat that unless someone feeds me."
Ryo teased Tatsuya by moving his eyebrows up and down.
"Ugh! What did I do to deserve all of this? What?!" Tatsuya said and he gave in to Ryo's wish and opened the bento to help him eat.
He picked some meat with the chopsticks and fed it to Ryo.
"This is never going to happen again." Tatsuya said.
"Oh you think so? I'm pretty much enjoying myself right now. I'll ask your sister if I can have you take care of me while I'm still injured."
"Do that and I swear your left arm would be in a cast soon enough."
"Ooooh. Tough love. I like it!"
"Shut up and eat!" Tatsuya said as he forced more food into Ryo's mouth.
******
2 weeks of peace was given to Tatsuya. Not a single member of Kanjani came to the cafe for the last two weeks because they are all in Osaka shooting a variety show and preparing for an album. Tatsuya continued to work for his sister and he was just thankful that he was spared from all the disaster for two weeks. He was just getting used to not having the osakan boys at the cafe when Yasu and Maru came running down the hallways trying to get away from a fuming Hina. Apparently, everyone just got back to Tokyo and the first thing they do is have a meeting at the cafe.
"Wait 'til I get my hands on you two!" Hina shouted as he ran after Yasu and Maru.
"This is not a playground! Everyone stop horsing around and just do what you've got to do!" Tatsuya snapped. He was in a normal maid outfit since it was a regular store day.
"Yes Hime-sama!" Yasu and Maru trembled while Hina just murmured a "Sorry" and hit Yasu and Maru in the head with the magazine he was holding.
Tatsuya was busy helping the other maid set up the main hall when his sister called him to the kitchen.
"Tatsuya, we've got a problem." Mizuki said.
"What is it Nee-chan?"
"Our chefs, they both can't make it! It's too late to tell the customers that the cafe won't open. We need to find replacements!"
"I can cook, nee." Tatsuya said.
"But you can't do it alone. We atleast need two more people to help you."
Yoko overheard the conversation between the two.
"ehem"
Tatsuya and Mizuki found Yoko standing by the kitchen door.
"If you need help, I know some people." Yoko said.
"Really?" Mizuki asked.
"Yes, let me call them, give me minute."
Yoko took out his phone and talked to someone in a low voice. When he was done, he turned back to Tatsuya and Mizuki.
"They'll be here any minute." Yoko said.
Sure enough, a few minutes later, Ohkura shows up.
"Anything I can do?" Ohkura asks.
"We need someone who can cook." Mizuki said.
"I can do that." Ohkura said.
"Yeah right. You can cook but you'll finish them all before it gets out to the customers."
Ryo emerges behind Ohkura.
"What are you doing here?" Tatsuya asks.
"Kanjani is here and I'm part of Kanjani and Yoko said you need help in the kitchen. I can cook." Ryo said.
"No. Ohkura and I can do it. You're still injured anyways." Tatsuya said.
"This guy will just eat everything he sees and besides, I've started cooking for myself again a week ago. These are just bandages." Ryo said.
"Hey, I have self-control okay? I'm not even that hungry yet." Ohkura said.
"Yet. You will be soon enough." Ryo retorted and Ohkura just gave him a pout.
"Okay, let's stop all of these arguments and get down to business. We need three people in here so one is Tatsuya and the other two will be Ohkura-kun and Nishikido-kun but before that, I need to see both of your skills." Mizuki said.
"No problem with me." Ohkura said.
"Pssh.Skills? I'd be glad to." Ryo said.
Mizuki asked Ohkura to make some onigiri and Maki while she asked Ryo to make Omurice. After the two finished cooking, she, Tatsuya and some chosen maids tasted the food. They all liked it and agreed that the two can stand as replacements for tonight.
"Karen-chan, please replace the menu for tonight." Mizuki ordered one of the maids.
She then turned Tatsuya, ohkura and Ryo.
"You three will divide the work tonight. Ohkura-kun can do the Onigiris, rolls and sushis. Nishikido-kun can do the omurice while Tatsuya deals with the desserts. Any questions?"
All three shook their head.
"Okay then, time to open the cafe!" Mizuki said.
The night went on and the three of them did their job. Tatsuya was focused on making the desserts that he didn't notice Ryo and Ohkura snickering behind him. The other two kept on exchanging weird glances and tried their best from smiling too wide. Ohkura has finished a big batch of his assigned food and was called by Yoko to join the meeting. Ryo and Tatsuya were left alone in the kitchen and Ryo can't help but smile a lot. Finally, Tatsuya noticed it.
"Don't smile like that. It's creepy." Tatsuya said as he was still decorating some of the desserts.
"I can't help it. Sorry." Ryo said as he himself is busy making some omurice.
When Tatsuya was done with his latest batch of desserts, he placed them in a tray and made his way through the main hall to serve them. Before he can go out, Ryo called him.
"Hime-chan, don't bend too much, okay?And hurry back." Ryo said and gave the creepiest and annoying smile Tatsuya has ever seen.
Tatsuya ignored Ryo's comment but once he got out of the kitchen, he realized what he meant and his face blushed. He remembered he was wearing a really short outfit and he kept on bending while deocrating the desserts because the kitchen counters was too low.
Once he handed the tray to the other maids, he made his way back to the dressing room. He emerges a few minutes later and sneaked back into the kitchen. Ohkura was back too as all the food he made were gone.
"You changed." Ohkura said when Tatsuya entered.He was already wearing his normal clothes and eyeglasses.
"Awww. Why did you change? I was having fun watching you from here."
"Shut up you little creep. Just do your work."
The three of them continued working. Ohkura and Ryo would still snicker from time to time but would stop whenever they feel that Tatsuya's about to snap.
It was past midnight when all the customers have gone home. The maids started to clean up, the three people in the kitchen also washed their dishes. The rest of
Kanjani and Mizuki stayed in their conference room while waiting. When they were all about to leave, a knock on the main door was heard. Mizuki ordered one of their guards to see who it is and it was reported that it was the son of their father's rival. Mizuki opened to door to face him.
"Why are you here Aoki-kun?" Mizuki asked
The rest of Kanjani8 were just looking from afar.
"Hey, Hime-sama, who's that guy?" Subaru asked.
"That's Aoki Ken. The son of the owner of Aoki realty."
"Ehhh? That's him? Why's he here?"
"I don't know, but him showing his face here means that something bad's bound to happen."
"I came here to offer you something." Ken said to Mizuki.
"What is it?"
"Would you mind if we talk inside? I believe there are a lot of empty seats considering you're already closed."
Mizuki let him in and guided him to the nearest table. They sat down.
"I would like to request the presence of your brother. I know he's here." Ken said.
Mizuki called for Tatsuya and he joined them at the table.
"Now that we're both here, what is it that you want to discuss?"
"I came here to ask for your hand in marriage." Ken said.
Not only Tatsuya and Mizuki were shocked but also the rest of Kanjani who are eavesdropping nearby.
"What? Is this supposed to be a joke?" Mizuki asked.
"Do I look like I'm kidding?"
"Why are you doing this?"
"Think of it this way Ueda-sama, us getting married means our companies can merge and became the most powerful."
"We don't need you to be powerful. Our company has always been on top." Tatsuya interrupted.
Mizuki was silent.
"What do you think Ueda-sama?" Ken asked again.
Mizuki stood up and eyed Aoki Ken.
"Never will I consider your offer." Mizuki said.
"Are you sure about this?" Ken asked.
"Yes."
Ken stood up.
"Very well then. It leaves me no choice."
He stared at Tatsuya deeply.
"I know of things which you do not share with the others." He said before turning back and leaving the cafe.
A/N II: sorry if Ryo’s too pervy here. -___- Again, I would really appreciate it if you leave comments. :)

Tatsuya ignored Ryo's comment but once he got out of the kitchen, he realized what he meant and his face blushed. He remembered he was wearing a really short outfit and he kept on bending while deocrating the desserts because the kitchen counters was too low.
Once he handed the tray to the other maids, he made his way back to the dressing room. He emerges a few minutes later and sneaked back into the kitchen. Ohkura was back too as all the food he made were gone.
"You changed." Ohkura said when Tatsuya entered.He was already wearing his normal clothes and eyeglasses.
"Awww. Why did you change? I was having fun watching you from here."
"Shut up you little creep. Just do your work."
The three of them continued working. Ohkura and Ryo would still snicker from time to time but would stop whenever they feel that Tatsuya's about to snap.
It was past midnight when all the customers have gone home. The maids started to clean up, the three people in the kitchen also washed their dishes. The rest of
Kanjani and Mizuki stayed in their conference room while waiting. When they were all about to leave, a knock on the main door was heard. Mizuki ordered one of their guards to see who it is and it was reported that it was the son of their father's rival. Mizuki opened to door to face him.
"Why are you here Aoki-kun?" Mizuki asked
The rest of Kanjani8 were just looking from afar.
"Hey, Hime-sama, who's that guy?" Subaru asked.
"That's Aoki Ken. The son of the owner of Aoki realty."
"Ehhh? That's him? Why's he here?"
"I don't know, but him showing his face here means that something bad's bound to happen."
"I came here to offer you something." Ken said to Mizuki.
"What is it?"
"Would you mind if we talk inside? I believe there are a lot of empty seats considering you're already closed."
Mizuki let him in and guided him to the nearest table. They sat down.
"I would like to request the presence of your brother. I know he's here." Ken said.
Mizuki called for Tatsuya and he joined them at the table.
"Now that we're both here, what is it that you want to discuss?"
"I came here to ask for your hand in marriage." Ken said.
Not only Tatsuya and Mizuki were shocked but also the rest of Kanjani who are eavesdropping nearby.
"What? Is this supposed to be a joke?" Mizuki asked.
"Do I look like I'm kidding?"
"Why are you doing this?"
"Think of it this way Ueda-sama, us getting married means our companies can merge and became the most powerful."
"We don't need you to be powerful. Our company has always been on top." Tatsuya interrupted.
Mizuki was silent.
"What do you think Ueda-sama?" Ken asked again.
Mizuki stood up and eyed Aoki Ken.
"Never will I consider your offer." Mizuki said.
"Are you sure about this?" Ken asked.
"Yes."
Ken stood up.
"Very well then. It leaves me no choice."
He stared at Tatsuya deeply.
"I know of things which you do not share with the others." He said before turning back and leaving the cafe.
A/N II: sorry if Ryo’s too pervy here. -___- Again, I would really appreciate it if you leave comments. :)
