Aoi is having a life crisis in the middle of the room. Part of him thinks he saw this in a movie once and maybe that's why he's laying with his body on the floor, looking at the ceiling. Maybe this is cool. Maybe he's not just Aoi having a life crisis, having to lay down on the ground completely with his whole body out of complete desperation, but this important person who will not die tomorrow and his life will be utterly useless. He'd be THE character in that movie he does not remember about, having a life crisis. Yes.
When Ruki comes in, he's the first to find Aoi like this. It's not a shocker for Ruki to not even ask Aoi what he's doing. Last week he did. What a wrong thing to do. Aoi didn't let him leave for five hours straight.
So Ruki goes around the studio and picks some of his stuff and takes his cigarettes. It's like Aoi is furniture.
When he finishes his cigarette outside he comes in and lays down next to Aoi.
"We're playing this game again?"
"What game?"
"Where's your girl?"
"What girl?"
"ok..."

Half an hour later Kai comes in almost spilling all the cups of coffee he was bringing in the rectangular coffee-carrier.
"Shit!"
"Hello to you too," Ruki salutes him from the floor, eyes peering at the little space between him and Kai's feet, keeping in check if his pants are still clean.
"I can't believe it, what is this?"
"We're doing a sequel to what happened last week," Ruki explained.
"For crying out loud, Aoi," Kai tries to reason with him.
Aoi has the victim face. Nothing good ever comes out when Aoi is carrying his victim face.
"Mmmm, so what are we having today?" Ruki asks Kai.

When Reita and Uruha reach the floor where the studio is located they're all male bonding and joking one to another. Reita is wearing Uruha's beanie and he's scratching his nape slightly, bored for having about to fight today with Kai for the nth time over the piece they are working on, only because he's too damn of a puss to tell Kai that he thinks he's beating the wrong beats in the sequence of the song and it's not him the one that should change, but Kai and his piece. He could ask Uruha to tell Kai, but that would be simply lame and Uruha would laugh at him anyway like back in high school.
"What took you so long?" Aoi huffs from the floor. Ruki giggles mischievously, while Kai looks pretty much terrific about everything. No kidding.
"The coffee is cold, but you can join us," Kai tells them.
"Man, like, you TOTALLY gotta pull your shit together," Reita starts preaching. "Weren't you and what-was-her-name, good-Kansai-giving-head-lips, together already?" He takes his jacket off and sits down, ass on the floor, legs bent by the knees, elbows supported on, jaw in palms. His arm goes for one of the two big cups of coffee, "What did you do?"
"Life isn't that simple."
"Here he goes again," Reita mutters and then takes the first sips.
"He told her she was too good for him," Ruki explains, his eyes taking a good stare at Aoi's face to see if he's wrong.
"And young. She told her she was too young for him," Kai cheekily puts it.
Kai finds himself locking eyes with Uruha. They both exchange a smile. Uruha goes to sit next to Aoi.
"How do you always manage to screw this?"
Ruki is shocked to hear Uruha using such a soft and caring voice. He darts his head out to check Uruha's face to see if he's sick.
Kai still replays Uruha's smile in his head while Reita rests his back on the floor next to him.

The Gazette is not having a life crisis in the middle of a room. They're just a bunch of five dudes keeping company to each other on the floor, looking at the ceiling at 15 minutes past noon, building back up courage in Aoi. Aoi could be any of them and maybe even little bits of their personality that needed some surgical moral lifting. Ruki tells them about the first dude he kissed in high school. Nobody asked, but Ruki is talking. Reita shares his experience about the first girl he fingered. Uruha smiles; he knows who he's talking about. Kai is slightly jealous. Uruha tells them about the smell of the air the day he left school. Aoi tells Uruha he doesn't want to get any more depressed. Kai tells Aoi about some wisdom shit he read in the paper recently. Ruki doesn't even pay attention because he thinks it's utter crap. Ruki is the master of life that has all the answers in the palm of his hand and doesn't care about things other people said. Ruki is secretly jealous he couldn't deliver those words of wisdom himself to Aoi. Kai keeps on talking. Uruha invites them all to a sandwich. To the rooftop.
"Does anybody feel like getting up?"
"No," they all say in chorus. Then they all laugh together.

It's still not Kai Day, but Uruha invites Kai to a glass of something. It's a small eating place where some young students put together a small business. Kai looks at the tables made of light colored planks, the small flowers gathered in glasses, the fliers with the adds for the jazz concerts for the clubs nearby. Uruha goes to the bathroom leaving Kai with the menu.
Kai decides on the drink and keeps undecided on what he'll have to eat. He's short on money. When Uruha comes back, Kai tells him so, face a little embarrassed, because Uruha instantly thinks he lost his wallet. Again.
Uruha treats him with too much food he can carry, so they end up with small packages they'll be putting in the fridge back home.
On the way back they go to the supermarket and Kai still forgets all that was to buy because Uruha keeps lingering too close at times, or keeps his mind busy with nonsensical gossip he heard inside the company and stuff Reita said; Reita who had a hot and busy Wednesday night with the girl Uruha said he wouldn't go.
When they reach the apartment, Uruha whines he spend too much. On the kitchen table he's doing his financial balance of the week and asks for Kai to bring him an apple.
