((A/N: This is most likely going to end up being a series of little ficlets of things from my KYO canon/life, so if you have issues with kin/fictives/alters I recommend turning back now. I don't want trouble. Thanks!))

"Dear diary,
Tuning and pitch testing was just perfect, as usual.. It's a really good thing, too, as They have been "cracking down" on everyone's voices recently.. I wonder why ?
Nevertheless, I will not stop working, so long as there is still music to perform ! Ah, if only every day could go by this smoothly..
Tomorrow is another day.. Be well, diary !
~KYO"
He shut the dainty stationary notebook closed and took a moment to stare at the neon red numbers on the digital clock on his desk: 2:45am. Looking around in the dark, hearing the tapping of heavy rain against the window and the wind howling by, Kyo felt… Anxious? On edge? Fearful? But it couldn't be those, could it? After all, A.I. programs can't feel emotions, not really…
Especially someone like him.
He definitely does have the justification to be nervous though, he supposed. Several of his friends had been "retired" because they just couldn't match the terrifyingly-high performance standards, and Gumi just barely passed.
It was almost as if They WANTED to get rid of her.
…It could also be some weird, artificial form of paranoia, though. He was never too sure with these kinds of things.
Kyo snapped out of his thoughts when he heard the door click open and turned his head to the noise, relaxing a bit only to see Yuu rubbing his eyes.
"Kyo ? What are you doing up so late ?"
"I was.. about to say the same for you.."
The other paused, glancing up at Kyo. "The storm just reminded me to get some water . Yeeaaahh, that's it ."
Kyo laughed.
"It's true ! You've been up all night, you know it's been bad !" Yuu said with a pout.
After reassuring an adamant Yuu that being afraid of storms were nothing to be embarrassed about, Kyo led the boy off to the kitchen to get some water before escorting him back to bed in the room adjacent to his before…
"Hey . Uh … Kyo ?"
"Hm ?"
"Can I maybe . Sleep with you tonight ?"
Kyo sighed. So much for getting any sleep tonight; Yuu was a sleep kicker. The things he does to keep people happy…
"Okay.."
