A Healthy Relationship

It was a wonderfully healthy relationship, they argued. Granted, one that involved digesting massive quantities of sugar, pizza, and other unhealthy substances, bursting into randomly "genki" songs during sessions of love-making, and the occasional need for one or both of them to dress themselves in intriguingly disturbing costumes. Not to mention the pink stuffed bunny-rabbit that now possessed his own bed and chair within the small apartment.

Shindou Shuichi and Sakuma Ryuichi seemed destined to be together in every sense. Especially now that Yuki Eiri, the famous novelist, had kicked Shuichi out of his life and into Ryuichi's. Not that the vocalist for Nittle Grasper would complain. Rather, he seemed more than happy to deal with the pink-haired singer's bouts of depression that had followed his eviction. And somewhere along the way, the relationship had developed to a loving one.

It was unexpected. Tohma, Noriko, Fujisaki, and Hiroshi seemed confused when the couple made their announcements a few weeks back. Hiro actually burst into laughter before he realized that, yes, Shuichi really was serious about this and, no, there again wasn't anything he could do about it.

Every morning seemed to proceed the same. Shuichi would wake up, lean over and kiss Ryuichi, who would then wake, and any and all attempts at getting out of bed would be forgotten until maybe ten or eleven. Upon waking up for the second time, the couple would literally jump out of bed, try to find their clothes, and then make their way to the kitchen where they would make pancakes with vast quantities of sugar and soda with, you guessed it, more sugar.

The rest of the day would pass in a blur. Shuichi would spend his day rehearsing with Bad Luck and Ryuichi would head off with Nittle Grasper. They would brighten everyone's day with their semi-professional attitude, their smiles, and general insane-ness.

In the evenings, they would meet up back at their apartment and eat dinner, followed by lots of dessert. The consuming of the dessert would lead to love-making and then perhaps they would order a movie. A children's movie, with lots of smiling suns and happy, acid-trippy type creatures.

Yes, indeed. Everything was fine and dandy, except for the fact that five weeks after the couple started dating, for some inexplicable reason, both their heads exploded.

Perhaps it was the sugar. Or maybe it was the need for them both to talk virtually constantly. But whatever the case, the unfortunate accident left Bad Luck and Nittle Grasper without vocalists, which in turn forced all the other band members into poverty.

In fact, three years after the death, Hiro was living in a cardboard box next to Fujisaki who had, by some twist of fate, managed to find a nice wooden crate. The only ones of the group who really escaped unharmed, Tohma had moved back to New York with his wife and brother-in-law and Noriko had returned to her husband and child.

And everyone lived happily ever after.

An interesting little comedy challenge that I did for a friend of mine. Exactly 500 words.
