Ryo's fingers dropped the fabric as Massu sprang away from him, spluttering and bending down to pick up the towel. "Nothing! Nothing." Ryo said. He shoved his hands into the pockets of his shorts. Probably as a subconscious measure to hide his guilt, but he was sure it looked cool. Or at the very least, nonchalant.
Massu glared at him, but Ryo kept going. "I was just helping Massu dry his shirt." Shige merely stared at him. Meanwhile, Koyama and Tegoshi distracted Massu and ushered him to the bathroom with a spare shirt Tegoshi brought along.
Once he was out of earshot, Tegoshi grinned. "Well, the world would be a better place if Massu went shirtless more often, right? Ryo-chan was just doing his civic duty."
Koyama rushed to agree, pleased at the showing of affection between the band members (after all, they're a team, no matter what, and they should be able to work together well and love each other all the better). Shige nearly choked and stared at them all incredulously, like he couldn't believe they had the audacity to think he was that stupid.
"What did I miss?" Pi asked as he wandered over, mouth full of soft pretzel.
"Ryo was trying to molest Massu," Shige said.
"I was doing a service to the world," Ryo clarified.
No one believed him. Ryo wasn't expecting them to, but it was worth a shot.
Months later, Ryo and Massu will look back and remember that day and laugh about it; Massu will poke fun at him and make digs at how Ryo just wanted to see him shirtless. Ryo will kick him off the bed and lean over the side to glare down at him, but it won't be long lived because he'll eventually crack and laugh and smile and realize that hey, maybe past!Ryo was smarter than he gave him credit for.
At least he can see Massu shirtless whenever he wants to now. He's still working on the 'in public' part, though.
