Rivalry of Departments

It was satisfying to see that Ashton enjoyed his homemade pasta, not having to worry about if he'd have to make him something else, so he wouldn't starve. Finishing up, not too long after him, he got up and washed his plate as well as all of the dishes that he had gotten dirty from cooking. Rei was somewhat curious about a few things, yet decided to keep those things to himself, not wanting to bother Ashton with his questions at that moment. "Well since we're done eating, we should talk about what you'll have to do at the party." He said just before he heard his doorbell ring. Walking over to the door with Ashton behind him, Rei opened the door to reveal Leon standing in front of them with a decent sized box in his hands. "Your suit is ready now." Leon said as he let himself into the apartment without anyone saying anything. "To make sure it fits right you'll have to try it on." He continued, placing the box in Ashtons' hands.
 
"Right," Ashton sighed, taking the box. Turning towards Rei, he said, "Are you gonna come into the bedroom with me, or...?" he trailed off, quickly remembering that Leon had no idea of the requirements their current job had given them. Without waiting for an answer, he made his way towards his bedroom, already unbuttoning the top buttons of his shirt. Shutting the door after Rei was in the bedroom, too, if he followed him, he turned away from him to start undressing, shrugging off his shirt before working at the belt of his pants.
 
When Leon heard Ashton speak, a sly grin appeared on his lips as he watched the two go into the bedroom together, thinking something was between the two even though Rei denied many things earlier. Seeing him start to undress, Rei turned his back to his as well, avoiding any looks towards the others body. "Sorry for this, Leon will probably have a misunderstanding about this." He said as he waited for the male to either be done or ask for help with something. It was very uncomfortable for him to be in this situation with Ashton, because the two of them would have to do this everyday in front of each other. As the two were in the room, Leon was listening very closely to see if he could hear the two of them talking, but it seemed that the walls and doors were to thick. So he huffed in disappointment, before taking a seat on the couch in the large spacious living room of the apartment.
 
Ashton didn't speak to Rei while he was dressing himself. When he finally pulled on the suit jacket, he turned to the other man, sighing. "Guess we better head back out there," he said, not entirely enjoying the thought of seeing Leon again. He didn't not like the man, he just felt slightly uncomfortable around him. Looking at himself in the mirror, he tugged at the edge of the jacket with one hand, sighing at his reflection. "Let's get to it."
 
Looking into the box, Rei reached inside of it to pull out a tie. "You missed a piece." He walked over to the male and started to tie it for him, so that they could get out of the room as soon as possible. Tightening the tie a little, he then took a step away before going over to the door of the bedroom. "Leon, he's ready now." The two men walked out of the room together, to show his cousin-in-law what Ashton looked like in the suit he picked out for him. "It's perfect. It brings out your most of attractive assets, the women will be all over you tomorrow night." He said as he check the suit, making sure he didn't miss any details. "If Leon approves, then you're all good to go." Rei said as he crossed his arms over his chest.
 
A light red coloration appeared on Ashton's cheeks as Rei tied the tie around his neck, but he thought nothing of it, and was glad when they were finally in the living room again. He had a slightly dour look on his face while Leon appraised him in the suit, a frown on his face. As Rei said that there was nothing else, he nodded resisting the urge to follow his gesture and cross his own arms. Blowing a stray hair out of his face, he idly wished he had some coffee to drink, at least to make him feel not so lethargic. Stifling back a yawn, he said, "I'm gonna go change back into my clothes. Rei?" he gestured towards the door, tipping his head in the general direction.
 
Walking back into the bedroom again with Ashton, he sat upon the bed, looking up at the other male thinking about their new living arrangements. "I think we can deal with these new terms, it seems were fine so far." Rei said as he waited for him to change back into his other clothes, so that he didn't mess up his new clothes before tomorrow night. "So what do you feel about the clothes that he made for you?" He asked a little curious as to what he thought about this whole new change in his wardrobe.
 
"It feels...weird," Ashton answered, pulling off the suit jacket and loosening the tie. "I'm not used to such expensive clothes." He continued undressing, trying to ignore the awkwardness of changing in front of Rei. He had changed in front of men before, but it was different with Rei. For some reason, he felt uncomfortable with it. Pulling on his clothes from earlier, he finally felt normal again when he was wearing clothes that he had been wearing for the better half of a year.
 
When Ashton was dressed in his previous clothes, Rei walked out with him and goes over to Leon. "He's very thankful for the clothes and I'm sorry for making you work so hard." Leon shook his head and hugged his cousin, before telling the two to have a goodnight as he walked out of the apartment with a smile plastered on his lips the whole way out. Rubbing the back of his neck, Rei then stretched his arms over his head a little as he walked over to the couch of the living room. "You did look good in the suit, I'm a little surprised." He said as he picked up the remote, turning the tv onto a channel he enjoyed watching when he was back at his old apartment.
 
Ignoring Rei's comment, he rested his head against the back of the couch, wondering what sort of karma would have made him be put in this situation. Yawning, he brought a hand up to cover it, sighing heavily afterwards. Letting himself relax, he tried to ignore the fact that he would have to sleep eventually, and then it would be next to Rei.
