Body Swap part 4
He stumbled around the apartment for a moment trying to find a mirror and came up short. It was as though the owner had an aversion to them and after around five minutes he settled for taking one of the many games and looking at the shiny bottom side. Looking back was the face he had seen in the window and he felt his heart jump a little against his ribs. With his free hand, he moved to lightly caress his face shocked when he felt the touch. It wasn’t an ugly face, in fact Masaki would say that it was cute if a little angular. His eyes were intense, shadowed a little from lack of sleep and his skin had been screen bleached from the many computer screens. He was thin to the point of almost looking gaunt though he noticed that he had a slightly bulge to his stomach that Masaki was prepared to say was almost adorable and he couldn't resist poking it with his forefinger.
“This is so weird” He gasped putting down the disc and pinching himself hard on the leg his eyes feeling with tears as pain shot up through his leg. “Ouch! That hurt! Won’t be doing that again” He mumbled to himself almost jumping out of his skin when a telephone rang sharply by his left side. Automatically he reached out to answer it before stopping as he reminded himself that it wasn’t his phone and he wouldn’t know what to say.
The phone continued to ring for a minute and then an answering machine clicked into life and he felt dizzy when he heard his voice speaking out in a hushed tone saying;
“Um…Aiba Masaki-san? Um…Um…If…If you’re awake…Um…Answer…” Masaki grabbed the phone and held it to his ear whispering almost frantically;
“Yes! This is Aiba Masaki…Though currently I’m not…Wow this is weird ne!”
“…You…You’re really in my body?” The man on the other end asked sounding a mixture of relieved and hysterical and Masaki couldn’t say that he blamed him. He was close to feeling that way himself only he had grown used to facing things in a devil-may-care way and with an almost childlike innocent and excitement with the world. Now he was convinced that this wasn’t some kind of elaborate kidnapping plot he found his courage rising to the surface. Last night had been the worst he had felt in a very long time and even now he could remember how he had wished that he didn’t have to be himself for a while. Though he had never expected the universe to be listening much less take him seriously.
“Yup! You too! Ah! I’m sorry if you have a hangover! I had a little too much to drink!” He gasped realising that he didn’t have one so it was completely possible that his switch partner had one in his place. “Um…Ne! What’s your name? Ninomiya...”
“Ninomiya Kazunari…”
“Nino-chan, then! Um…I think…I think that we should meet up ne?” He breathed trying his best to sound reassuring while Nino sounded like he wanted to crawl into a hole and stay there until it was all over. “I…You…You have to go to the studio to record! Um…I can meet you there! Ah but first I need to pay your rent!”
“Does this kind of stuff happen to you all the time or something?” Nino hissed and Masaki as sure that it was the angriest he had ever heard his voice sound before. It was strange to be scolded by yourself and he gave a smile
“Nope! But it’s interesting ne?!” He replied and he was almost positive that he heard the man roll his eyes down the line. “Hey! How can I pay your rent? Your landlord is scary!”
“He’s actually a nice guy, tell him I’ll pay him on Monday but give him the game on the table” Nino told him and Masaki looked around at the many tables which in turn held many games. He swallowed a little and then asked somewhat nervously;
“Um…Which game? Nino-chan has a lot of games”
“Blue Orchid”
“Okay! I’ll bring it! I will take a shower and meet you later! Um…I’ll ring you so that you can get me passed security!”
