It wasn't until several minutes after he'd sent the text that he realized he hadn't said a single thing that was flirtatious or funny. Maybe it's just because I was so awkward about whether or not Sora and Kazuki were dating. It's gotta be that. He did his best not to think about it, setting his phone on vibrate and strumming his guitar for ideas, spending the next few hours idly figuring out what theme the song should be. Jun and Kenta had yet to throw up any genres that seemed nice to play, and Yutarou suddenly felt nostalgic after meeting Hiruka again and all the emotions that came with it. He felt like writing a song of a calmer genre, but still couldn't come up with lyrics, even after he'd established the general melody. XX
After a few hours had passed Yuta finally gave up on the songwriting, toying with tune and going through familiar songs in his mind, playing around with lyrics and trying to come with something substantial. He got nothing. Hana always said you can't make a song happen, that it happens on its own. She must be right because I've been here for four hours and I've got barely anything to show for it. The thought of Hana drew back the memories of that afternoon - well, the previous afternoon at this point - and his gaze shifted over to a photo frame in the hall, the only photograph he kept out of him and Hana, tiny Yuki sitting on his shoulders and grabbing at her mom's hair. It was positioned just next to the photograph of him and Hiruka as kids, and once again he found himself brooding over thoughts of seeing Hana reflected in his friend's smile. I need to stop thinking of it so much, I'm going to drive myself insane at this rate... XXX
Once again he shoved the thought from his mind, setting his guitar aside and turning on the television, none too pleased to find that Naruto was the only decent show playing in the wee hours of the morning. He briefly wondered why it was even playing when no one would be awake to watch it, but decided not to think too hard on the subject considering the fact that he himself was awake at this time with nothing better to do than watch a kids show. He ended up watching several episodes, and ended up getting rather invested in the storyline as it continued, his exhaustion making his brain more lax on what it counted as "art." He was still awake when the sun began to trickle in through the blinds, and he groaned realizing it, knowing that there was no point in sleeping now. XX
Yutarou watched Naruto until the show starting playing reruns, playing where it had left off the morning before. Kou emerged from his room not long after, fully dressed and looking far too awake for a teenager at seven in the morning. "Ohayo, Aniki. Did you sleep?" "Nah. Got stuck trying to write a song and then ended up watching Naruto all night. I'll be fine though, once I get some coffee in my system. You wanna help with breakfast?" Kou nodded, shuffling over to the kitchen and starting up the rice while Yuta gathered the other ingredients needed. Yuki appeared half-way through meal preparation and happily took her place at the table to watch the episodes of Naruto that were playing, eventually enlisting Kou to watch with her while her dad cooked their breakfast. XX
Their usual morning walk was an interesting change with Kou joining, Yuki talking animatedly to him about all of her friends and how nice her teachers were, hugging him tight before she left to join her group. "She seems well-adjusted, you know. You do a lot better as a dad than you give yourself credit for." Kou commented, staring down at his phone as they walked toward the studio. Yutarou sighed. "She's doing well for a kid without a mom. She never asks me about it, really, and I don't know if that means she's dealing with it well or if I should be concerned she's holding things in and not talking to me about it." "Yu-chan is ten, and she's incredibly smart for her age. I think the reason she doesn't talk about Hana-san is because she knows it makes you upset." "Yeah, I guess that's true..." They dropped the subject soon after, Kou seemingly having nothing else to say and Yutarou lost in thought. XXX
Yui was waiting for them in the doorway of the studio when they arrived, Jun passed out on a couch and Kenta cuddled up next to Aya, laughing at something she was showing him. Kou made his way to the table and pulled out his laptop to attend class. "Guess what I've got planned for this band?" Yui said, smiling the kind of smile that made Yutarou get a sense of foreboding deep in his stomach. "...what is it?" "Well first of all, I've enlisted Aya's help so you three can actually get some songs in progress, otherwise you'll have to write them all a week before release like last time. But tonight, I've decided that we're all gonna go to a nightclub! Kou and Yuki won't, of course. Aya and Kenta can stay behind and watch over them, those two wouldn't do well in a nightclub anyways. But the rest of us are going! Ryouta's coming too, so you should even invite Sorayuki-kun, since you two met at a bar I bet it'd be his scene! And then you can have a nice date while I get to drink alcohol and my little bro can make out with his lover in the bathroom or something. Sound like fun?" "Honestly? Not really. Can you picture me at a club?" "Doesn't matter, you're going." XX
"Now go on, go invite Sorayuki-kun! Do it ahead of time so there's not as much pressure to attend." Yui refused to listen to reason, so Yutarou begrudgingly picked up his phone to text Hiruka. Yui's forcing us all to go to a nightclub tonight, and I was wondering if you'd like to come along. You can bring some other friends too if you'd like. I think it might be less of a drag if you come along. XX
