Slover Pink here,

I know that many of you will be mad that I paired both these two characters together, but while I was reading H.G. I realized that Azusa has a more sensitive side for Shinogu then he does for Hatsumi. He never places a threat on the guy, that's one reason. Another is that they both are connected into the events of their childhood. But don't worry, my story is mild and I doubt that there will me anything over the border. Just Lime! Just so you know!

A graveyard shift is when you work really late hours, and end up coming home at two in the morning, and so on.

CHAPTER FOUR

It was two in the morning when Shingou got home. Azusa called him about their meeting which was cancelled that night due to Hatsumi's protest. What Shingou wasn't expecting was for Azusa to drop by a little later to harass him.

"Who's it". Shingou said, although he already knew, and just didn't want to get up.

"It's me Azusa".

Shingou wanted nothing but to lie down and sleep in his futon, but Azusa had other plans for him. After he let the guy in, he kept him up till four in the morning. By then Shingou passed-out and woke up an hour later to find Azusa crashed right next to him with three empty cans of beer sprawled on the floor. Azusa's head lay right beside Shingou's, and he could smell the alcohol in his breath. Azusa was playing this game with him, a game Shingou didn't like. He was going to pretend he got drunk then sleep over all because he didn't want to go home and stay with his new family. What was more embarrassing was that Shingou's roommate was on the brink of kicking Azusa out. Shingou wanted his sleep more than anything, but he had to hide Azusa before his roommate got back from his graveyard shift.

Azusa was kinda light to Shingou's surprise, so he carried him off from the living room to his bedroom, earning him a grunt from Azusa; who might have actually passed out from the alcohol. He was still a minor being in school and all, but not only was he a minor, he was Shingou's friend. So…Shingou guessed he'd have to look after the guy. After Shingou laid Azusa down on another kept futon, Shingou discovered something else, he gently lifted Azusa's shirt and saw the outlining of his ribs. Of all the things he does, he's gonna starve himself. "Great…" Shingou said to himself. Now Hatsumi's going to panic like she does with everyone.

"Next time I'm not answering the door for you" Shingou said to a sleeping Azusa, who awoke in a panic to find his shirt pulled up; exposing sin. Azusa quickly pulled it back down. He eyed Shingou roughly before easing the expression. "It's none of your business, and neither is it Hatsumi's". His head turned away from Shingou. He didn't want to act childish at the moment, but he did. He was going to tell Shingou but he wanted to hide it as well… He was so confused that Shingou wouldn't even understand why Azusa came over to see him.

Shingou shook his head.

"Fine by me Azusa, as long as you know what you're doing". Shingou got up from the floor lazily and make his way to the living room, where he plopped back down on the floor to get some rest, but not before the door opened and his roommate walked in.

"Shingou, I got some beer were gonna drink tonight!"

'Great, just fucking great' Shingou passed out.
