Day 16 - Sunday
Well, that's the weekend over I guess. I feel strangely sad.
Taichi dropped me off half an hour ago and I've been sitting here in the apartment since then. It's silent and quite cool. I'm reluctant to break the mood.
Taichi was annoyed with me last night for not dragging him along to the party. He stormed off after the concert when he saw us all piling into the cars.
I kind of felt bad that he hadn't just come and joined us but it probably looked we were leaving him out. We weren't but everything was just so...wild. I couldn't get away to talk to him. Every time I thought I was free someone new would commandeer me. There were just so many people every where.
It makes me feel so helpless when he pulls away. I think he thinks he'd be getting in the way. He has this thing about 'band time' and he feels the need to leave me alone when there's anything going on with the four of us. He doesn't like intruding, but he can't make himself stay away for long before he get's a little bit insecure.
This weekend was probably a bit of trial for him because I couldn't really get myself away at all. I probably should've noticed him wearing thin when he was so desperate to drag me off for Saturday lunch.
Anyway, the after party was alright despite the fact that Taichi wasn't there. I talked to the guys from 'Under Ignited' again and one of them hooked me up with a couple of people. I talked to the manager of the show and he said he was impressed with our performance so there's a very good chance that we'll be invited back, possibly even sometime this year.
Akira decided the alcohol was worth enjoying and convinced me to have a couple myself. It mightn't have been the greatest idea but it made all the socialising fun. Man were there some hot chicks hanging around. Off each other, off other guys and a lot of them were hanging off me. I think that's when Yutaka decided it was time for us to go.
It's probably a good thing I was sleeping with Taichi, it stalled the rather convincing urge I had that it was a good idea to pick up. There would've been hell to pay if I'd dragged somebody back with me. I can just imagine the fight it would've caused, Taichi would've probably left me in Kumagaya.
As it was, I curled up in bed with him and apologised. He didn't seem to mind for once, just let me do what I wanted. He usually hates it if I snuggle when we sleep together but he didn't comment on it when we woke up so I can only assume he didn't mind.
We spent most of the day running around doing things in Kumagaya until we really had to leave. We had to drag Akira around because all he wanted to do was stay in the car and we couldn't let him miss out on anything or he'd be annoyed about it later.
He's an odd guy, Akira, he normally doesn't talk to anyone - or anything I should say - except his guitar. But when he gets tired or hung over like he was today, he opens right up even if most of what he says is mumbled. You'd think he'd get more cranky when suffering from a headache but he's more likely to smile and joke around instead. Yutaka's theory is that he likes to be babied. Being sick equals attention so if he's got an excuse...well, he may as well take it.
He'll pick his days though, he's not a weakling. He can be hacking up a lung sometimes and he'll pretend there's not a thing wrong.
At the moment I'm waiting for dad to get home. It's not nine o'clock yet so he's probably still at the office. He said he was going to work overtime this weekend and maybe get a day off sometime this week. It'd be really cool to do something together before school starts up again.
I think I'll go make something for lunch tomorrow.
