[AN: thanks to my beta, Leyla, and thanks to Snowy for naming this XD]
Smoke curled up from Kyo's lips, as he leaned out into the crisp night. His arms ached from leaning on the window sill, and his brain cried for sleep. He kneaded his eyes, willing himself to stay awake, while taking another drag from his cigarette. He heard someone walking about in the next room, then a knock on the door.
"are you done getting changed yet?" a soft, yet masculine voice asked him from the other side. A look of panic crossed Kyo's face, and he dropped his cigarette. He swore quietly and looked around on the floor, but didn't't find anything. I must have dropped it out of the window. he closed the window as quietly as was humanly possible, grabbed his beer soaked clothes from the floor, and opened the door.
"thanks for letting me borrow you clothes, Shin-Chan" Kyo said, hugging his taller friend. Shinya simply smiled and put Kyo's clothes in a bag for him. Kyo was nervously pulling on his sleeves. Please don't let Shinya smell the smoke. He will kill me!
"anything wrong?" The taller man asked him, concerned by Kyo's odd behaviour. Kyo shook his head. Shinya smiled again, then motioned for Kyo to follow him and they left his apartment.

Kyo closed the door to his apartment quietly, and crossed over to his window. He saw she lights of Kyo's car disappearing round a corner, and breathed a sigh of relief. He'd gotten away with it. Suddenly a wave of tiredness washed over him, and he lethargically dragged himself to him room, and collapsed onto his bed, fully dressed.

"Fuck!" Shinya cursed loudly at the trail of traffic in front of him. He needed to get home and feed Mayu! Getting thoroughly fed up, he got out of his car, locked it and ran to the front of the queue. Round the corner was his flats, so it wasn't too far for him to walk. However, as he ran round the corner, chaos met his eyes. There were barricades, fire engines, people screaming… He looked up towards the flats and almost fainted. His flat was on fire.
"Mayu…" he said quietly, then screamed. He ran forward, past the barricades but was grabbed from behind. He screamed at them, trying to get away, to get to Mayu, but soon collapsed as tears fell from his eyes.

Groaning, Kyo heaved himself out of bed. who is at my door at… 3 in the morning? He decided he would rip the head off whoever it was, and went to open his door.
"what the he- SHINYA!" he shouted, seeing his dishevelled friend at the door, face stained by tears. Shinya sniffled a little and motioned to ask if he could come in. Kyo stood aside and let him pass and joined him one the sofa. The moment he sat down, Shinya pulled him to his chest and hugged him, while crying. Kyo felt uncomfortable with the drummer's odd behaviour, but nonetheless tried to comfort him, he patted Shinya's shoulder and tried to get him to calm down.
"I'm sorry for crying Kyo, it's just-" Shinya started, but noticed Kyo had fallen asleep. Poor Kyo. It really is late, I really shouldn't't have woke him up. Shinya held him closer and fell asleep with Kyo in his arms.
