I was planning on making this whole chapter complete first, but I've got a little writersblock and school to attend to -_- So here's the first part of the 'showing the town' chapter. Just to make some things clear:

"Normal text in English is Japanese speaking"

"Italic text in English is English speaking"

"Italic text in German is German speaking"

I don't translate every single German thing I write here, because I do that to show Aoba's lack of knowledge in the German language (My German can not be flawless, because I'm not German and I'm not really the best in my German classes) Hope you enjoy this chapter ^-^

When he opened his eyes again, it was already morning. The spot next to him where Noiz had been sleeping, was empty. 'Maybe he's gone to work and left me alone in the house' thought Aoba. 'No' he ensured himself. Noiz wasn't like that. At least not when they had only been here for one day. Aoba sat up and looked around the room. It was quite big. The walls had a soft grey color and the floor was black. On the left side there was a big window and a door to the balcony right next to it. On the right was a door, probably leading to Noiz's closet (thought Aoba). There was a small table on each side of the bed and three chairs, one containing Aoba's clothes, were placed randomly around the chamber.

Aoba got out of bed and walked towards the big leather chair he had thrown his bags and clothes onto last night. He grabbed his clothes and got changed. He would take a shower later when Noiz had told him where he could find the bathroom. When he got changed, he opened his bag and took a ball of blue fur out of it. It had been some time since he had last activated Ren. The eyes of the dog opened and his deep voice sounded through the quite empty room.

"Aoba"

"Good morning Ren"

"Good morning. We have arrived I assume?"

"Yeah, we're in Noiz's house."

"I see. It looks decent."

"Yes. Even though I've only seen the bedroom, it looks really nice."

"And where's Noiz?" Ren looked around the room trying to find him.

"You can't locate him? Usually you know where everybody is." Aoba said while letting out a small laugh.

"I'm picking up a signal of his allmate, but since this location is unknown to me, I can't exactly point out where he is exactly."

"Well, I'm sure he's downstairs. Let's go." He picked up Ren and walked with him in his arms out of the room.

The hallway was big and white. Now and then there was a table with some flowers on it. Aoba liked them. They were really pretty. He paid no attention to the doors on that floor, there were too many and, not being in a mood to open every single one of them, he walked down the stairs.

When he neared the end of the stairs he saw Noiz. He stood at the front door and looked like he was talking to someone.

"Noiz, good morning." Aoba said.

The guy turned around.

"Good morning Aoba, come over here."

He winked at him and Aoba walked towards the door. Outside stood a woman. Her hair was short and black. She looked like she was around the age of forty. Aoba held Ren tightly in his arms and stood next to Noiz. The woman held out her hand.

"Morgen, mein Name ist Anna, ich bin eure Nachbarin." Confused Aoba looked at Ren, then to Noiz and back to Ren again. Noiz understood what Aoba was trying to say.

"She says: good morning, my name is Anna, I'm your neighbor." Aoba felt relieved to hear a translation and took Anna's hand.

"Aoba" he said quickly.

"Aoba, das ist ein schöner Name. Es ist kein deutscher Name.Wo kommst du her?" Aoba, lost in the impossible sounding language, tried to get Noiz into translating again. Noiz, however, had already made the next move and talked back in German to the woman.

"Er kommt aus Japan. Er kann kein Deutsch verstehen und sprechen."

She looked at Aoba with surprise in her eyes.

"Then can you speak English?" She asked. English this time huh. Well at least he could understand it and speaking… well he could make some logic sentences. Aoba nodded and Anna smiled.

"That's great! So.. are you friends? Are you spending a holiday over here or something?"

He shook his head.

"I'm going to live her from now on."

He looked next to him, trying to find some help from Noiz, but he just stood there smiling. Aoba knew the situation wouldn't get any better if Noiz entered, but still he was feeling very alone at the moment. Off course Noiz would tell her all about their little adventures at the hospital, but couldn't he at least have told her about him before he had gotten downstairs. Aoba woke up out of his world of thoughts by the sounds of Anna clapping in her hands.

"So you're like roommates." Aoba scratched the back of his head.

"Something like that maybe."

"Oh, I have one last question."

Aoba sighed. Wasn't she done yet? He just wanted to be alone with Noiz. Still… he also didn't want to be rude so he put up a fake smile and told her she could ask him whatever she wanted to know.

"Why do you dye your hair?"

Shocked Aoba took a step back. He could hear Noiz laughing next to him.

"Dye my hair?" He slowly brought out.

"Yes. It's obviously dyed. Why did you do it? Was your original color not what you liked? Maybe if you hadn't let your hair grow so long, it'd look nicer." Her words really hurt Aoba.

At the island none of his friends, actually none of its inhabitants, had ever said anything about the color of his hair. It was always about the length and the ability to feel with it.

"This is my original hair color and it's this long because it's not possible to cut it." Anna looked confused.

"What do you mean it's not possible? You can just…." She brought her hand closer to Aoba's face and tried to touch his hair. In a reflex he tried to step back, but tripped and feel down.

"Ouch" he said, while rubbing against his back, which'd hit the floor first.

"Aoba! Are you okay?" He heard Ren, now sitting on his lap, saying.

"Ah yes."

Noiz had stopped laughing and crouched down next to him.

"Are you really okay?" Aoba could see the concern in his eyes.

"Yeah, I'm really fine." He looked back at Anna who was just about to leave.

"Ich lasse euch beide allein. Tschüss!"

She walked away while waving back at the two guys sitting in the hallway. Both Noiz and Aoba looked at her as she walked out of the garden. When they couldn't see her anymore, Noiz stood up and closed the door. He gave Aoba a hand and pulled him up.

"Are you really okay?" he asked once again.

"Yes Noiz."

"Okay, shall I show you the bathroom? Then you can take a bath while I prepare breakfast."

Aoba nodded and they walked up the stairs.

The bathroom was located at the end of the corridor and became another surprise for Aoba. In his old bathroom the bath, toilet and sink could barely fit in. Now that problem was nowhere to be found. Aoba could see that just the shower already took half the space of his previous bathroom. Then there was a big bathtub placed next to the large window.

"Isn't it a bit strange to have such a big window in your bathroom? Won't people see you from outside" Aoba asked.

"Well, the window is on the side of the garden. Even if people other than me were in the garden, they would never be able to see you. The glass works only one way. You can look outside but people can't look in."

Noiz walked back to the door and grinned at Aoba.

"I'll make some breakfast so take a shower or bath and get down after that."

Aoba nodded. When Noiz left the room Aoba turned towards the shower. The bath looked really nice, but at the moment he didn't feel like sitting alone in that huge tub.

The water hitting his head felt nice. The shower looked like something from the future first but after some struggle Aoba had found the right way to adjust it. As he let the water run over him he got lost in his thoughts. It was only when he realized he was getting dizzy of the heat from the shower that he got out of his thoughts. He turned off the water and grabbed himself a towel, stood in front of the window and looked outside. The view was astonishing. Noiz's garden was big, but that was not what grabbed Aoba's attention. Behind the garden was what Aoba was really looking at. He hadn't noticed yet, but it seemed the town they were living was situated on a hill. Aoba could see the skyline of the city behind the trees of the garden. It looked like it was situated in a valley. 'That city must be the place where Noiz works' Aoba thought. He stepped away from the window and put on his clothes. He opened the door to the hallway and stepped out of the bathroom.

When Aoba got down he could smell the scent of baked eggs. He followed the scent and ended up in the kitchen where he saw Noiz in an apron.

"Smells nice"

Aoba said while sneaking up to his boyfriend. He hugged him from behind and could feel Noiz shock for a second.

"What do you think you're doing sneaking up to me while I'm making you breakfast." Noiz said to him with a laugh.

"It was a thank you" Noiz put the eggs down and turned around.

"This is a better thank you."

He said as he took Aoba chin and pulled it towards him. Aoba, not totally getting what was going on, received a deep and long kiss from Noiz. Aoba stepped back and wiped off the saliva on his lips.

"What was that for?"

"What? Don't you like my 'thank you' gift?"

"It's not like you have to say 'thank you' for anything."

"Really? Can't I say thank you to you because you are here with me right now?"

Aoba looked away and could feel his head was turning red.

"It was my own choice so you don't have to thank me for anything."

He murmured, still not looking at Noiz.

"And it was my own choice to make breakfast so no complaining."

Noiz answered as he placed a plate with eggs on the table.

Noiz sat down and pointed at the eggs.

"Are you going to eat or what?" He asked.

Aoba nodded and set down next to Noiz. He felt hungry and quickly ate the food in front of him.

"Uhm.. it's really delicious Noiz."

"Does it surprise you?" Noiz let out a small laugh.

"Well for someone that only ate pasta and pizza in Japan, I'm surprised you can actually cook."

Noiz was silent for a moment. It was true he had only eaten that back then, but he could at least make some eggs. It wasn't that hard.

"Noiz…" Aoba sounded like he wanted to ask something.

"What is it?"

"What kind of stuff do you want to do today? I'm sure you have work and stuff so…"

"I'm free today. I wanted to show around town."

"Uh? Around town?" Aoba thought about his meeting with Anna and immediately felt depressed.

"Yeah, if you're living around here, you'll have to get to know the place a little. It'd be no fun for you if you were to be alone and could only stay inside the house."

"You're right, but I don't want it to be like this morning."

Noiz grabbed his hand. Shock by the sudden action Aoba looked right at Noiz.

"I won't let something like that happen. You can trust me, right?"

Aoba nodded. He knew he could trust Noiz. And Noiz was right. He needed to get around town otherwise he'd never go outside.

"Okay. I'll go with you to town, but show me around the house first. I don't even know what the house I'm living in looks like." Aoba smiled at Noiz.

"That's good. I was planning on showing you the town at noon so we still have the morning for the house."

"What time is it by the way. My coil doesn't really help me since it's still set on the time in Japan." Aoba asked Noiz.

"It's 10 AM so we have enough time."

Noiz stood up and walked towards the large glass door leading to the garden.

"Shall I show you the garden first?"

Aoba had looked at the garden from the bathroom before, but actually standing there felt totally different. It was a big space full of grass. At the end stood some trees and the side was blocked by a wooden fence. The first few meters of the garden were paved. A small paved path went through the grass towards a small pool.

"You have a pool?" Aoba asked surprised.

He'd already understood Noiz was rich, but owning a private pool was really something. On the other hand, Noiz's family also owned a plane and compared to that having a pool didn't really mean so much.

"You want to swim?"

"Not now. Maybe another time. "

"Fine by me. Come I'll show you some more of the house."

The next two hours were filled with walking through the whole house. Aoba got to see every part of it. The doors on the second floor (the floor where the bathroom and the bedroom were) led to a guestroom and some study rooms. On the first floor were the kitchen and the living room. As last they walked around the garage and the front garden. Aoba had already been here last night, but had not seen a single thing back then. The garden wasn't the biggest one ever but it was also not a small garden. A small path went from the front door to the driveway. The garden was decorated with rocks and flowers. The thing that caught Aoba's eyes was the car standing on the driveway. It made Aoba wonder if Noiz knew how to drive. He didn't feel like asking it and just looked around the street, where no one was walking.

When morning had passed and the two had had lunch, it became time to go into town. They walked out of the house into the street. Even though the weather was beautiful, Aoba couldn't see anyone.

"Are there no other people around?" Aoba asked Noiz.

Noiz shook his head.

"Most of them are at work and the ones that are home are swimming in their pools or sunbathing in their chairs. So I don't think you'll have to worry about meeting any of the neighbors at this moment. I don't think we'll see many people until we reach the main street."

Noiz held out his hand to Aoba, as he wanted him to hold it. Aoba understood and took his hand. As no one was watching it couldn't really hurt. So they walked further and further away from their house to the center of the town.

So that was it for this chapter. I hope to continue soon, but I don't know when I have time or inspiration. Reviews and suggestions are always welcome.

I want to thank 'Kim' for writing a review, I tried doing what you said. And for you question about what city they live in, the city Noiz is working in is based of Franfurt am Main. I was there when I started writing this so I still have the lview of that city in my mind.
