Ryuji had been off the clock for a couple of hours now... The guards were usually around in shifts but there was a nagging feeling that kept him awake. Alex was still asleep, the girls had been making alot of noise but there she was, still asleep like nothing had happened hours prior... He tried to wonder why there was such a feeling keeping him up. He trusted Hikaru's judgement the most out of all the girls, and all the girls seem to like Alex. Looking back at the sleeping girl he kept pondering the reason before the girl tossed in a disgruntled noise... Walking forward to see what was wrong, he noticed that Alex started to sweat profusely, she tossed and turned before she shot up like a lightning bolt. "KAZU!" 

Ryuji's eyes widened as he saw the girls eyes drip with tears, her face was all red and flustered. The girl looked around in confusion, trying to wipe her eyes she jumped when she heard Ryuji. "Are you alright?" Looking up she recalled the past day and sighed in relief. "S-Sorry... D-did I w-wake you?" The girl stuttered while Ryuji shook his head. "No, I've been up..." He pondered as he looked away slightly as the girl slowly stood up, her hand rubbing at her face before she realized the makeup that was still against her face. "U-uh... where is the bathroom?" She asked quietly as Ryuji pointed out a door... before he said. "You didn't answer my question." Alex paused as she smiled grimly.

"I'll be okay..." She trailed off before walking towards the bathroom. Ryuji hummed as he sipped on the water that he had in his hands before he grabbed a large comforter and started to pat out a area for a resting area. When Alex came back, her face was devoid of all the makeup that Yua had put on her, Ryuji let his eyes wander to the baggy shirt she had on before looking towrds the floor again. "Are you sleeping in here as well?" Alex asked as Ryuji nodded. "Is that a problem?" She shook her head quickly. "No... i was just wondering..." She sat back down on the couch as she felt a little bad. "Do you want the couch..?" She asked as he shook his head once again.

He took off the suit that he had on, just a white shirt and shorts he was left in while Alex stared down at the floor. "do you mind if I ask a question?" Ryuji suddenly said as Alex looked up and shook her head. "Not at all, what is it?" He looked towards her. "You shouted Kazu in your sleep. Who was that?" Alex grimanced at the question but answered it anyways. "My ex... Guess he still haunts my dreams." Alex said with a forced smile as she laid down against the couch coushins. 

"Sorry to pry." Shaking her head in a way. "It's fine, it's better to talk about it I guess." She admitted as she pulled the blanket over her form. "How did you meet the group?" Alex curiously asked, hoping it was fine as he had asked a question first... especially something touchy. Ryuji realizing this decided to answer. "I met Hikaru and Yua from School, so I had always known them really." He shrugged his shoulders, "Though they enjoy singing and dancing, I really just enjoy playing games and working out, so they decided to hire me as they already knew me and trusted me." Alex looked at him curiously at that. 

"What kinda games do you play?" Ryuji paused as he looked at her who was all the curious staring at him. "Oh, uh... just mmos and building games... really anything I guess." He said scratching his head, wondering if she had any clue as to what those might be while Alex's eyes brightened. "I love playing mmos, I have a couple of friends who got-" She started  to spew alot of gaming knowledge onto him while all he could do was stare in shock. "- They kinda dragged me into it but it was really fun when we all play together." Ryuji blinked while Alex blushed brightly at the look of curiosity that spread on his face.

"Sorry im a little bit of a nerd." She muttered as she scratched her head sheepishly. Ryujin couldn't help the small smile on his lips as he gave a short chuckle. "It's alright, just who you are, right?" Alex paused as she looked up at him and she smiled warmly, "Yeah... who i am..." A small short chatters echoed in the living room while around the corner where the bathroom was, Hikaru stood smiling at the interaction between the two as she headed back to bed...
