Kai woke up just after eight. It was primetime; the boys had slept through dinner, and Reita was watching "Face Off" with his girlfriend out in the living room. Of course, none of this bothered Kai; the only thing that woke him up was the fact that he was craving some sweets. Kai didn't want just any treat-he had a hankering for some zebra cakes. Now, the Little Debbie product was very hard to find in Japan, even in Tokyo, and Kai only knew one place where he could get some at this hour.
Resuming his usual uke way of doing things, Kai tapped Miyavi's shoulder. "Miyavi kun…mind if I go out for a bit?" Of course, Miyavi wasn't the type who like being woken up, so he just turned over and murmured "yeah, yeah" before going back to bed.
Kai was careful to slide out from under the covers, and it only took him a couple of minutes to get dressed before he headed out into the dark streets of Tokyo at night. With familiar streetlights to guide him, Kai walked six blocks to purchase his zebra cakes.
The vendor knew Kai well; the young man had come to see him about once a week, except just before tours when he would request a whole crate of the stuff to hold him over. They went through the usual transaction tonight, and Kai was smiling as he carried his eight cake box down the sidewalk.
He was about halfway home when it happened. TeddyLoid was heading the opposite direction, his nose poked in the first issue of Shoxx bis. He had to back order it to finish his collection; Teddy owned every issue of every Japanese-published magazine that featured Miyavi's face on the cover. Honestly, TeddyLoid's crush was a bit of a borderline obsession…
Teddy was gawking, drooling a bit over the beautiful musician featured on a motorcycle when he collided smack dab with Kai, knocking Kai and his box of Zebra Cakes to the pavement. Luckily for Teddy, his magazine was not damaged and he only suffered a scraped palm.
Teddy looked irritated for a brief moment, until he realized he had hurt this stranger. "You alright?" he asked, offering his free hand to help the other up.
Kai accepted Teddy's hand, and once he was on his feet again Kai grabbed his dented box of cakes. "Yeah, I'm fine." However, there was a cut on Kai's cheek that was bleeding heavily enough to not be ignored, and Teddy pulled out a napkin he had stuffed in his pocket after dinner. He handed it to Kai, and Kai's eyes enlarged. "Am I bleeding?"
TeddyLoid didn't want the other to worry so he said meekly, "Just a little bit." Teddy watched Kai put the napkin to his face. "Do you want me to help you home?"

Kai nodded. New company couldn't hurt anything, could it? The two began walking in the direction of Kai's place. A light breeze started up suddenly and Teddy bit his lip and furrowed his eyebrow. He knew that smell from the performances he had done as Miyavi's DJ during the world tour…the smell was dabbled with the scent of his sweat though, and Teddy didn't remember that MYV was doing a concert on this night, unless….Kai knows him personally.
Teddy frowned. "Do you live with anyone?" It was an odd question to ask out of the blue, but Teddy could've been asking in case he were invited inside and wanted to be ready for anyone odd Kai might be living with.
Kai thought for a moment. "I live with four guys and a girl, and we have two other guests over right now." Two guests assuming Kyo had crashed in Aoi's room again. Kai didn't bother to explain once he noticed Teddy's magazine out of the corner of his eye. Kai thought, "Why does he have an old issue of Shoxx? That magazine must be almost five years old." Kai was a curious being, so he decided it was best to ask. "Are you a MYV fan?"
Teddy's body tensed and his face twisted up as he tried to figure out how to say it. "I've worked for him before as a DJ on the world tour. My name's TeddyLoid."
Kai's face broke into a smile. "Oh yeah! Miyavi kun said you were doing a remix album of a bunch of his songs! I heard your demos; they're very good."
Teddy frowned. Kai was referring to him as Miyavi kun, not Miyavi san or Miyavi sama…apparently, Kai is close to Miyavi, closer than he was. "May I ask how you know Miyavi?"
Kai blushed. He wasn't sure what to say; he didn't want to say anything because he wasn't sure what would happen if the media knew about them being a couple. Kai gulped and squeaked, "Well, we're labelmates, and we spend a lot of time together." Both those sentences were true, and Teddy became quiet, so Kai figured that his answer satisfied Teddy.
Teddy grinned. Maybe there was nothing to fear; maybe Kai and MYV weren't a pair. Teddy knew Miyavi would date guys though; he had gone out with Maya back when Ishihara Gundan was his backup band. So it was possible for him to date a coworker again, Teddy could only hope…
Kai turned the key and let Teddy step in first. Teddy shuffled in nervously, he wasn't quite sure what to expect. Reita and his girlfriend stop their mid-moving making out to sit up and greet the guest.
"Sup?" Reita asked plainly, licking his lips and trying his best to ignore the fact that he still had his girlfriend within his reach; he could take her at any time he wanted…
She waved and popped out an over-eager "hello" that made Reita pout. Of course the sound of voices had Aoi, Kyo, Uruha, and Ruki all stumbling out into the living room. Teddy felt bombarded as everyone was introducing themselves. After introductions and being offered some tea, Teddy took a moment to count. There was still someone missing.
Miyavi wasn't mentioned at first, so Teddy figured that maybe he wasn't the other guest who was at the flat. The GazettE talked about their current projects and Reita's girlfriend mentioned something of her poetry writing, to all of which Teddy just listened patiently.
Uruha came over and poured Teddy some tea. "I hope you like your green tea the way I do."
TeddyLoid quirked up an eyebrow. "What do you mean by that?"
Uruha smiled, "I always add in a splash of sake."
"A splash?" Reita said with a chuckle, "half the damn cup is always sake when you pour it!"
To this everyone in the flat laughed. Teddy held the cup up to his mouth and took a sip. After the initial taste of tea had subsided, Teddy could taste the rice wine and it began to burn in his throat.
Kai began laughing harder. "We are giving alcohol to someone who's underage, ya know?" The rest of the GazettE looked at Teddy as if to say "oops".
Quite suddenly, Kai stood up and made his way toward his bedroom. "I'm gonna go check on my boyfriend." Kai's boyfriend? Teddy shook his head. Did MYV really belong to Kai? Teddy tried to wipe the thought clear from his mind, but his jaw only fell wide open as Miyavi came out of Kai's bedroom, wearing only his boxer shorts and nipping at Kai's neck playfully.
