I put my heated delivery bag into my scooter and drive off. "Kansai main street.." I murmur to myself. I sigh heavily as I drive on the well known streets.

Almost done for the night at least. Ryu said that the guy I'm delivering is a regular at the shop. It's the first time I'm delivering to him however, since Ryu is usually in charge of this part of town. I drive onto a parking lot, looking up to the big flat in front of me. I sigh again. "Please tell me they have an elevator."

Parking my scooter I approach the building. I attempt to push open the door only to figure out you need to be a resident to enter.

With reluctance I search for the name Noiz on the buttons next to the door. After a while I find a dirty sticker spelling out the name in a messy handwriting.

I furrow my brows and press the button. It takes a while, but then I hear some sounds followed by a loud buzz, signaling the opening of the door.

"Tsk, He didn't even say anything..?" And I walk into the building.

Luckily there is an elevator and I gratefully press the button to the 4th floor. I walk through the hallway silently searching for apartment 5B.

As I raise my hand to knock, the door is already pulled open in front of me. A slender figure is standing in the doorway, green eyes checking my appearance

He has piercings everywhere. It kind of fits his calm face, though I imagine those must have all hurt like hell.

I expect him to say something but he stays silent. "Pizza Deluxe?" I say hesitantly.

The green eyes rapidly scan my face, but then nods. I stick out the pizza to him and he drops the box on the floor behind him.

"You're not Ryu." His voice is low and monotonous. An annoyed feeling comes over me. "Well, sorry." I say grumpily.

"It's not that I mind, you look cute." he says nonchalantly. I look at him wide-eyed. "Eeh..!? What's that supposed to mean?!"

He shrugs with a calm face and takes some money out of his pocket. "Keep the change."

Still confused I look at the 1500 yen sitting in my hand. I'm not sure how to react so I end up staring at Noiz.

He has his hand on the door, ready to close it. "..You.. want to come in or something?" He looks a bit confused himself.

"No.." I shake my head and start walking off towards the elevator. Trying to wrap my head around his words I hear a faint ding as the doors slide open.

I sigh heavily as I put the delivery bag on the counter in the kitchen. A black-haired guy walks into the kitchen. I give him an annoyed look.

"Oh come on, he isn't that bad." Ryu chuckles when seeing my face. "Pff, you can have your part of town back." I respond. Ryu chuckles again.

"Sorry Aoba, this is just more convenient for me." He shows no sign of being sorry. I can't help but smile at his innocent face.

"Well I'm going to close up shop, going to help?" Ryu smiles as he walks to the front of the store.

I put my key into the keyhole and try to open the door to my house as silently as possible. It still squeaks but not as much as it normally would.

I walk in on my twin, Sei laying on the couch passed out, Ren curled up next to him. I have been living together with Sei and Koujaku for 6 months now, but we barely see each other during the day because we all have such different work schedules. I take of my shoes and my first step onto the wooden floor already breaks the silence.

Ren's toy squeaks loudly under my foot and his head shoots up, his eyes flickering in the dimmed lights. Sei doesn't flinch however and I let out a sigh of relief.

Ren's paws tap on the floor as he happily walks towards me. "Hey lil bud." I whisper softly as I pick him up and bring him to my room.

I close the door behind me and let him down. He wags his tail and jumps onto the bed, walking in small circles before finally laying down. I drop my stuff on the floor and I take of my clothes, leaving on only my underwear.

Soon after I hear the door opening, Koujaku shows his face, his eyes lingering on my lower body.

I quickly grab a small pillow and throw it at his face. He dives behind the door and softly shushes me as he comes into the room.

I slide into my bed and don't even bother scolding Koujaku. He has the habit to randomly come sleep next to me when he doesn't feel well, but he probably does it even now when he feels just fine. We used to do this as kids sometimes. However since he is a grown man now I would scold him, but instead I ignore him and close my eyes, wrapping the blanket around my body. He sighs and drops next to me. "Good night Aoba." "You too Koujaku."

I wake up to the sound of a cat meowing loudly in the background. Koujaku already seems to be gone and Ren is laying next to me instead.

I reach out my hand and pet his fluffy hairs. He yawns and then stands up to lie down by my chest, resting his head on it.

I look at the cat sitting in the windowsill, still trying to get my attention. I inhale and I yell. "Seiii!" After a while Sei enters my room.

"What's up?" And I silently point at the cat in the window. Sei looks at me with an unimpressed expression. "Ugh, you're so lazy Aoba."

He lets the cat in and carries it in his arms back into the living room, throwing the small pillow I threw at Koujaku last night to my face. "Thanks honey buns." I say jokingly. From behind the door I hear him calling. "Breakfast is done if you want some." I groan and move my legs out of bed.

I grab the blue fur ball and hold him in my arms as I rub his belly. I set him down on the floor when I grab a seat at the dinner table. Sei puts a bowl of miso soup in front of me with a fried egg on rice. "Hmm.. Ittetakimasu!" Bowing my head slightly. I see Sei grabbing his stuff and pets my head on the way to the door.

"Got to head out to the garden center for work, feed the animals before you leave will you?" I nod with my mouth full as the front door slams shut and I finish my breakfast. I decide to get some groceries to pass the time before I have to head out to work again. I give the animals their food and let Sei's cat out who is meowing with a passion. "Do you ever stop making noise.." I mumble to Mr. Snuffles. Shaking my head at how Sei could ever give his cat such a ridiculous name.

Putting on my blue jacket, I head out the door.

I enter the supermarket and look on my grocery list to see what I need. Without thinking I walk my usual route through the store and stand in line at the cash register. Then I see someone familiar standing in front of me and I freeze. He's talking with a small girl that is standing beside him.

Not knowing what they're talking about the girl suddenly points somewhere behind me and he turns his face.

The same bright green eyes look into distance and then notices me looking at him. He gives a kind smile and goes back to talking with the girl.

He looks so much like the guy from last night, but he doesn't have any piercings. Confused I pay my groceries and I leave the store, seeing the two leave just around the corner. I feel like my mind is playing tricks on me. Why do I care that he looks like him? It's obviously not the same guy.

Drowned in thought I walk my way back home.

I silently greet the cats that always gather on the corner of my street and suddenly hear a bunch of noise come from the alley behind them.

People are shouting and it seems there's a fight going on. Not wanting to have anything to do with it I quickly pass the alleyway.

I enter my house and Ren greets me by licking my socks. I pick him up, and cuddle with him for a little bit, pressing my head against his.

Putting away my groceries I sit on the couch, planning to watch some TV before I need to start work at 4 o'clock. I tap the couch next to my leg and Ren jumps on next to me. Zapping through some channels, I stop when I come across the news channel. They're talking about the increase of illegal street fights in the city.

Thinking about the fight in the alleyway this afternoon I could imagine that to be true. After a few minutes I start dozing off, sagging sideways on the couch.

After what seemed to be only a couple minutes my sleep is disturbed from Koujaku barging into the house. I stretch lazily and look at the clock.

When noticing what time it is, I give a loud moan and look at Koujaku. "Aobaaa, massage my back will you."

My eyes can only just see Koujaku over the edge of the couch and see him stretching his back. Koujaku meets my eyes and laughs.

"Boy, you sure look productive." I stick out my tongue and shuffle towards my room. When I can't find my working clothes I try asking Koujaku about it.

I stick my head out the door. "Oi hippo, do you..." A shirt is thrown in my face. "I washed it for you. No problem." Koujaku smirks at me.

I smile back at him. "Thanks hippo." I go back to my room to change and hear Koujaku raising his voice. "Are you coming to the bar tonight?" I recall Koujaku asking me to come and I guess I do feel like having a little party. "Hm, yea I think I might." I shout back. "I'm done with work at eleven though, so I won't be early."

I hear some footsteps and Koujaku slams on the door. "Finally!" He comes into the room and drops himself on the bed.

He crosses his arms behind his head and stares at the ceiling. "You still have a hair appointment or are you done for the day?" I ask when I see he still has his kimono on.

I put on my vest from work and gather my stuff. "Yeah, I'm done. Haruka has appointments till 4 I believe, so she told me I could go home and she'd close the salon for me."

I sit next to Koujaku on the bed. "Hm, that's nice of her." He turns his head and looks at me. His eyes are scanning my face. "What?"

I touch my hair thinking maybe something is out of place and remember I still need to put it up in a ponytail. "Hm, nothing." He closes his eyes and pushes himself back up.

I also get up and start fixing my hair in the mirror. "I'm going to take a shower, see you tonight Aoba!" A big smile is on his face. "See you tonight Koujaku."

Giving him a smile back. As Koujaku disappears into the bathroom I take my bag and say goodbye to my fluff ball. "See you later Ren."

I give him some belly rubs and shut the door behind me.
