Unlike Rika, Ryo was not nervous for the date. He was confident in his social skills that he knew for sure that he would impress her family. Not to mention, he was quite charming, in his opinion. His day was relaxing: he slept in late and watched TV. Getting ready for the date was easy too. He bathed, shaved, and grabbed an outfit out of his selection of clothes. He chose an outfit that was much more toned down from what he would have went with merely a month ago. Rika had a lot of influence in his wardrobe lately. He still made sure he was dressed to show his full swag, but his outfits were more dressy and less gangster. At first he did protest; he liked his baggy jeans. But after seeing himself in a few of the outfits, he realized how fresh he looked. He was wearing a white crew tee with a green, gray, and white wide plaid button up shirt. His jeans were gray as was his fitted cap. His kicks were dark gray, black, with matching green. To top it off he had a pricey watch, 2 karat equivalent studs, and aviator shades though the sun

Hearing the knock Rika knew the Ryo had finally arrived and her heart began to pound in her chest. She hoped Ryo was considerate tonight about his attitude and attire, her family wouldn't be won over if he acted like his usual self. Rika made for the door but Mika cut her off. "I got it!" her little sister yelled in excitement. Reaching the door Mika pulled it open to great the man outside. She looked in awe at the stranger in the door before giggling. "Are you Rika's boyfriend?" she drawled out a huge grin appearing on her face.
Before Mika could embarrass her more Rika pulled her sister aside. "Mika knock it off you are probably making him uncomfortable."
Looking back at Ryo, Rika simply smiled. "Glad you could make it this little nuisance is my younger sister Mika. My parents are at the dinning table come inside so I can introduce you." Rika held the door open for Ryo and Mika stood beside her still checking out Ryo.
Standing at the doorstep, Ryo was beginning to fidget. He could hear shuffling inside and voices, and door opened before him, but not to Rika, whom he had expected. Or at least, it was a younger version of Rika. He was unsure what to say to her and when he opened his mouth to respond, Rika had appeared. He immediately regained his composure at her appearance. He grabbed the brim of his hat, adjusting it out of habit. "Naw she ain't doing no harm." He began as he started walking into the door, and when he was closer to Rika, "Merry Christmas, baby." He turned from her to see her house. It was a hundred times better than the piece of shit he lived in. He removed his aviators as he looked on in wonder. "Nice crib," he said as he walked forward a bit, but waited for Rika to lead the way.
Rika frowned a bit at the way Ryo talked. She was used to it but she had hoped he would try and talk a bit more normal. "Ryo don't use so much slang please." she said before entering the dinning area where both her mother and father were waiting. Rika noticed that they weren't exactly smiling at Ryo but had looks of equal confusion.
"Mom, dad this is Ryo Jo my boyfriend." Rika said to break the silence. "Ryo this is my father Yoji and my mother Ayaka. You already met my little sister Mika and that pretty much makes up my family." Rika smiled at him.
Her father was first to break the silence. "So Jo-san you attend school with my daughter? Must be a challenge to compete with her grades."
