"Are you not having lunch?" Die raised an eyebrow looking at Kaoru sitting down on the couch. Kaoru was too lazy to say something. He was very hungry, but couldn’t be bothered to get out and had something to eat. Kyo had rushed to the shop next door for some food; Toshiya had asked Shinya to have lunch with him, a birthday treat. The drummer told Kaoru that he was worried about Toshiya. He thought Toshiya was sick. Kaoru hoped the bassist was all right, he really wanted to know but was too proud and too hurt to ask Toshiya how he felt.
Die sat down beside Kaoru; the pink hair guitarist frowned.
Leave me alone…
"Hey, are you on diet?" Die took a cigarette out from his pocket. He thought that maybe diet made Kaoru get mad easily. Kaoru ignored him.
"I take that as yes. You know you shouldn’t. Let’s ignore the tummy you have there. You’re too skinny Kaoru. Compare you and me…I’m so…big! I need to gain muscles" Die talked without realizing Kaoru’s glare.
Great! Here you are, Mr. one nightstand, criticizing my body! I AM skinny, so what?
Kaoru glanced at Die, studying his figure.
So that’s what he likes? …More flesh…big eyes, big bone structure…Bone…Kaoru shut his eyes.
Maybe the one he has is bigger than mine…and somehow Toshiya knows that…
"Okay, I’m going. Sure you don’t want anything?" he didn’t reply. Die sighed and closed the door.

Toshiya walked into a café followed by Shinya. A man walked passed them and stared at Toshiya. Shinya noticed and touched his arm. Then he looked at the bassist. There was no reaction. Shinya pouted,
"That man was cute" he said softly. Toshiya nodded. Shinya joined his eyebrows; Toshiya didn’t care at all!
"Shinya…I’m not in the mood" Toshiya bit his tongue thinking about Kaoru.
The café wasn’t that full but Toshiya took the table beside the window. Shinya pouted, "You shouldn’t have done this! I’m the birthday guy…I’ll treat you!"
Toshiya shook his head, "Sit down! It’s not every year you’re turning twenty-one! You can do anything you want now" he grinned to the drummer. Shinya smirked "What haven’t I done?"
Toshiya smiled suspiciously, but he didn’t ask Shinya straight away what he meant by ’what haven’t I done?’
They ate quickly as the food arrived. Toshiya didn’t eat breakfast and so did Shinya.
After a while, they sat down enjoying their drinks.
"So…what happened?" Toshiya grinned to Shinya. He thought maybe he would find out what happened that night, and what Shinya told Kaoru about Die.
"Nothing!" Shinya took a sip of his drink; he was blushing.
"Come on! You know you can trust me!" Toshiya pushed. Shinya blushed even more.
"Well…that night…Kaoru gave a …" Shinya’s were dreamy, "...present" he remembered how the it felt being caressed…he couldn’t believe it was Kaoru…
Toshiya tried to smile, "What kind of present?" he looked at Shinya suspiciously. Shinya blushed furiously,
"Well…what a twenty one-year old guy gets" Shinya looked down. "In your case…probably what a fifteen year old boy gets" Shinya added looking up to the bassist. Toshiya joined his eyebrows, "You mean…you guys…in his house?" Toshiya stuttered. How could Kaoru feel so sad seeing him with Die if Kaoru himself did the same thing to Shinya?!! This wasn’t fair!
"Iie!" Shinya quickly turned to Toshiya "We didn’t do anything in his house…I think" Shinya sighed, "I can’t remember anything. Except that…I remembered something happened in the toilet…" Shinya blushed. "I woke up seeing Kaoru beside me the next morning" Toshiya blankly stared at Shinya, his heart stopped beating.
"You mean…naked? On the bed? Beside you?" Toshiya asked too much questions but he needed to know.
"Iie!!!" Shinya shook his head "Kaoru was sitting beside me, and I was fully dressed" Toshiya joined his eyebrows, then Shinya continued,
"In the toilet"
Toshiya’s eyes widened. Shinya blushed, "Don’t tell anyone! It was so scary at first. He didn’t tell me who it was at all! I was so freaked out! I mean…I don’t want it to be some stranger"
Toshiya bit his lip, but I thought it was Kyo!
-14.00 p.m.-
The door swung opened, Shinya came in with a smile. He saw Kaoru sitting on the couch so he sat beside the guitarist. Kaoru opened his eyes and smiled to the drummer. Toshiya pouted glaring at them. He walked around without noticing that Kaoru was looking at him. Toshiya bit his fingernail; he was thinking hard. Shinya had told him something…something shocking.
Die told him he kissed Shinya in the toilet. Shinya told him it was something more than a kiss. Kaoru told Shinya it was him, but Kaoru himself searched for the truth from Die! Die looked like as if he was lying, I saw a woman there and we made out. Then Kyo told him that he did see Die with a woman in the toilet.
So it wasn’t Die! Toshiya joined his eyebrows.
It could be Kyo! Toshiya nodded agreeing with himself. It has (!) to be Kyo! That little brat could do anything he wanted that night! Toshiya looked at Kaoru. The guitarist was talking to Shinya.
So he told Shinya a lie! He didn’t even know who it was! But he did it for Shinya. He’s so nice…it’s such a sacrifice! Toshiya pouted; his eyes were wet again.
And I’m so bad…
He remembered what Shinya said; I don’t want it to be some stranger! Toshiya frowned,
Doing it with some stranger was what I did…but it was long time ago! Kaoru can’t you see? I’ve changed! Just for you! Toshiya wiped his tears away before they fell on his cheeks. But I guess it was too late!
"Wa!" Kyo yelled as he entered the room. Toshiya turned and saw the vocalist pouted cutely. Shinya joined his eyebrows, "What happened Kyo-sama?"
"The girl next door is so…flirty! She kept giving hints away to me!!!" Kyo sat opposite Shinya and Kaoru. Toshiya walked towards Kyo, thinking that it was the time for Kyo to tell him the truth! Suddenly Kaoru laughed, "Kyo…what’s wrong with flirting with you?" Shinya nodded,
"Hai! That means she like you ne?" Shinya looked at Kyo, "I thought you liked these things"
Kyo glared at Shinya, "She called me kawaii!" Kaoru laughed, "Now I know why!" The guitarist stole a glance at Toshiya. The bassist was standing beside Kyo. "Ne, Kyo…what’s wrong with flirting?" Kyo raised an eyebrow. Shinya looked at Kaoru. Toshiya froze. Kaoru? Flirting?
"Some people just love to flirt, right Toshiya?" Kaoru looked at Toshiya. He
narrowed his eyes as Toshiya didn’t look at him at all. "See, Kyo. Ask Toshiya
anything about flirting. I’m sure he knows it very well! Especially if you’re so
desperate and wanna end up sleeping with some chick or some guy. A guy like him knows the
trick"
Kyo looked at Kaoru in disbelief. Shinya forgot to breathe. Toshiya jerked his head up and glared at Kaoru with wet eyes. They were filled with tears again.
"What? Stop those fake tears!" Kaoru said aloud as he got up from the couch. Shinya bit his fingernails.
Toshiya couldn’t take it anymore, "They are not fake!" He screamed, "I don’t have one night stands and I DON’T always flirt!"
Kaoru smiled, "Really? You walk around being ‘friendly’ to everyone; pout sexily and give those guys chances, being so ‘nice’ to them, giving the image that you need to be protected…" Kaoru stopped, I’m one of those guys; you wanted me to protect you…you came to me crying and moaning; you hugged me for nothing at all…
"If you don’t call that flirting what do you call it?"
Toshiya covered his ears, "You don’t know how much you hurt me…with those words!" he bit his lower lip.
Kaoru narrowed his eyes, "Well, I’m SORRY! I’m just so sick of you! Sick of your voice, your fake tears, your face…" Toshiya jerked his head up and stared at Kaoru. Tears rolled down his cheeks,
"I’M JUST REALLY SICK OF YOU!" Kaoru walked away and slammed the door loudly. Toshiya fell on the floor and covered his face. Shinya decided not to say something, he couldn’t do anything to Toshiya so he got up and opened the door looking for Kaoru.
Kyo touched Toshiya’s long hair. "Toshiya…" he said gently. Toshiya sobbed quietly.
"I hate myself! Why did I sleep with Die?!!!" Toshiya screamed.
Kyo sighed; he leaned forward landing a kiss on Toshiya’s forehead before he stood up.
"Relax, Toshiya!" Kyo smiled to him, then he walked out the room.
*
I hate this! The small guy thought, but…he lit a cigarette standing at the end of the corridor. He kicked the wall in front of him. "Do I have to do this?! Do I really have to?!!!" Kyo yelled. He kicked the wall again, but this time he winced, "Itai…!" Kyo threw his cigarette away…it’s all my fault!!! My fault! Suddenly he pouted, "No! it’s not! I was just having fun…" he bit his lip, but I have to tell Kaoru! and he’s gonna kill me!

-14.30 p.m.-
Die walked slowly humming some tune. "I guess I’m not that late!" he glanced at his watch. He turned his cigarette off and looked for a bin. There was one at the end of the corridor. He frowned, only stupid people put it there! He walked lazily towards the bin.
Suddenly Shinya appeared near him. Die raised an eyebrow. Shinya gasped as he saw the guitarist and quickly walked away. Die smiled and was fast enough to grab the drummer’s right arm. Shinya pushed him but Die quickly grabbed his other arm. Shinya glared at him,
"Hey, miss me?" Die smiled slyly. Shinya blushed, he pouted,
"Let me go!" Shinya hissed. Die could see Shinya’s eyes showed fear. Die shook his head.
"Have you thought about it?"
Shinya joined his eyebrows, Die sighed, "How can you forget?" Suddenly the guitarist smiled teasingly, "You want me to refresh your memory?" Shinya’s cheeks were burning red as he realized what Die was talking about. "Iie!!! I’ll never do that! By the way let me go now! I have to find Kaoru"
Die glared at Shinya, so he’s the one these days
"Why?"
Shinya pushed Die hard, the guitarist let go. "You don’t know something has happened!" The drummer quickly walked away but Die grabbed his arm again.
"What happened?! Why are looking for Kaoru?!" Die looked at Shinya suspiciously. "Do you like him?"
Die remembered what Kyo told him that maybe Kaoru and Shinya were going out. After his birthday…hm…
"First I thought he was as bad as you! But now! You’re nothing compare to him!" Shinya replied. Die glared at the drummer, he felt he was getting mad. "And why do you think so?" he narrowed his eyes.
"He was so nice and so kind!" Shinya suddenly blushed, Die raised an eyebrow, "What? He treated you well that night?" Shinya gasped and punched Die on his face. "I hate you! You’re so disgusting!" Shinya ran away quickly looking for Kaoru.
"Why do they land punches on my face these days?" Die yelled at himself angrily.
*
I shouldn’t have said those words! How could I…?! Kaoru sighed, He looked so hurt just now! But I’m hurt too! Kaoru heard footsteps behinds him. When he turned, he saw Shinya.
"That’s really…mean" Shinya looked at him carefully.
Kaoru shook his head, "You have no idea what he’s done to me!" Shinya joined his eyebrows. The drummer saw Kaoru’s wet eyes. "Kaoru-san, what happened?" Shinya moved closer to Kaoru.
"I don’t know…" Kaoru shook his head slowly. Suddenly somebody tapped his shoulder. He turned,
"I know!" Kyo simply said looking at Kaoru.
