Rent a girlfriend: Reincarnated as a responsible menace.

"Ok, the prep is almost done, now I-

Knock, Knock, Knock

'It must be her, I mean who could it be. I mean does she really want me to become Diddy that desperately', I thought that but still opened the door, because ignoring wasn't and option.... trust me... I tried, didn't end well... I mean who the fuck calls police-

"Kazuya-kun, look I made you some Lunch! Also I moved our aniversary to today, because I.felt.like.it~"

.....What?

"What are you-, you know what, I don't have time for this", I said, while inviting her inside.

"Ok listen, since it's saturday, I am going live again, and if you want to join me, your good to go, but if not, then you should-"

"Of course, I am going to join, why in the world would I not."

So, I guess we're going to have a co-host once again. Well, I now gotta improvise the shit outta this.

"'Hello, my mumkin pups, today's stream is about the very important 'emotional manipulation tactics'. And how to use and deal with them. With a special guest. My not-girlfriend Ruka Sarashina"

"Don't believe a word out of this mouth chat, he called me cute, on multiple occaison"

"Well, I called, even the dog the other street cute too, but that doesn't mean we are a couple"

"You handed my that fresh marble cake, at the bakery"

"With the face you were making, even Adolf would've handed it to you"

"Whose, Adolf?"...

"I was kidding, I know the one who failed to join the art class, and then targeted the whole world in his thirst for revenge, who doesn't know him"

"Yeah, who does that, like just kill the guy who rejected you, revenge completed"

"Wait we are getting off tracked"...Wait, did our roles just reversed.

It was not just me who noticed it.

#"SHE'S BACK"

#"PROTECT THE KING, she's hypnotised him"

#"This is a hostage situation 😭"

#"How many restraining orders are too many, asking for a friend"

#"Are we gonna forget, that they just randomly started talking about Hitler, in a dating advice video"

#"...You are new here, aren't you"

"Well, before we sidetrack to a different universe altogether, let us stick to the main topic like how Ruka said"

"Finally!"

"So, today fellas, we'll do a dramatic enactment of emotional gaslighting starring Ruka as herself an-"

"What!, it's not called gaslighting, its too rude. I just care… obsessively. Passionately. Legally ambiguously"

"Heads-up, she just gave me a bento, a lock of hair, and also updated our schedule"

"Because, you always forget our dates"

"Not dates. It's only a stimulation, like 'The Matrix', where you're Agent Possesive"

30 Minutes Later:

One person in chat decided to super chat 2000 bucks for the lie detector option, where we chose to ask the desired question by the person.

Yeah, I have a lie detector, in my house... Why do I have it? Well, you know, for the usual stuff... like hostage situat-

"Ok, to make sure this is working, what is your name?"

"Ruka Sarashina", Machine: True

"Ok, now its confirmed, Ruka say, 'Kazuya and I are officialy dating'"

"Kazuya and I are officialy dating", Machine: BZZZZZ False

Kazuya with a grin on his face, like he just saw a piece of chocolate falling from heaven, "Oh, noooo. Looks like your emotional delusion is not strong enough to break past the QA testing"

Ruka pouting hard said, "You're such a jerk… why do I even like you!?"

"That is the question of the day, well fret not child, for there is nothing Love Guru can't answer about love, and the truth is..."

I continued this time looking at camera, "I am the final boss of emotional unavailability. And you love the challenge."

1 Hour later, when the stream finally ended

Ruka was sitting silently on the bed watching the floor, while Kazuya was making some tea. No one was saying anything, but that wasn't really bad. Silence was not bad.

"Here, have some"

Ruka looked up, "Oh... thanks"

We were sipping in silence for a while until I decided to break it.

"I'm never gonna be the guy who texts good morning or plans matching outfits."

"I know"

"And I'm never going to date someone because they show up the most"

"...I know" she said silently, almost like she didn't trust her voice.

"But you can stay in my life. If you understand it's my orbit, not my leash, meaning I have my boundaries that can't be crossed"

"So, you're saying, I am like a moon"

"No, that's too uniform, you're like and asteroid, Dangerous. Unpredictable, but beautiful from a perspective. But that doesn't mean you're residing in my hear or soul"

Ruka chuckling to the little comeback said, "Deal. But I am still crashing into your atmosphere from time to time"

"I can live with that, just don't bring more hair next time."

After that we talked about a few things, before I pointed out the time, so she decided to head back home, but with the amount of time, it takes to get to her place, I wasn't gonna let her go by herself at this hour. So, I dropped her off till the station, I asked if she needed me there, but she insisted she could go alone. As it was not that late. After thinking over, I asked her to call me when she reached home. You could not be a little more cautious, could you.

After that, I was heading to the apartment, when I got a call.

"Hey Kibe, how's it going?"

"Me fine Kaz, listen now that Kuri is finally fully okay, we have decided to go on a night out, we have the car, the beer, the music the everything except you man, you in"

"FUCK YEAH, count me in"

"Alright I am coming to pick you up"

"I am outside, giving you my location"

After a few minutes of waiting Kibe and Kuri came in his dad's car, I hopped in blasted the speakers on full volume, and went for a reasonably, unreasonable night out.

The next day

"Oh, this headache", we truly let it out to the highest degree, I hoped Kuri had sent the car, to the cleaning. We all had the expectations, that this would happen so we agreed, since Kuri could remain alright, with 3 litres of Alcohol in his body, then he would be the one to handle the mess, and we would pay him back later on.

#Kazuya: Yo, Kuri, you did the work.

#Kuri: Just did, make sure to pay it back, you.

#Kazuya: Of course, man what you take me for

#Kuri: Well, I am pretty fucking tired, so I am off to sleep, good night.

Its 6 am, eh whatever, I made my tea, and reheated the bento Ruka made.

Hmm, she knows how to cook, I'll have to thank her later on. 

After filling myself up, the headache was much better, but I knew that I should sleep right now, since the relief was temporary, so I, drink some water to keep myself hydrated, cut two slices of cucumber place it on my eyes with the sleep patches, and drifted off to a pleasant sleep.
