The owner of this Italian restaurant sighed heavily and looked towards his pink haired friend peacefully sleeping, resting his head on the fancy polished tables. He was aware that kaoru hadn't slept last night. He knew he wouldn't due to the storm, it was always his thing couldn't handle a single loud noise at night. But even so he thought it was kind of childish, to be that bothered at night because of the sound but wanted to help his sleep deprived friend. He made his way over and gently nudged the man's shoulder. "Kaoru." He said
staring at his friend. The pink haired man slowly opened his eyes and looked up at the owner. "Kojiro." He let out a tired sigh and pulled out his wallet to pay. "Sorry for passing out, how much was my bill?" Kojiro shook his head. "I guess princess really can't survive without his beauty sleep." He teased his friend. The so called friend glared and shoved the wallet back into his pocket. "Well then I guess I won't be paying you dopey gorilla." As he got up the green haired man almost opened his mouth to argue but gave up and decided to ask something else. "Will you be able to- yknow make it to S tonight" he whispered to make sure no one heard, as S was technically illegal they had to be secretive about it. Kaoru rolled his eyes at his friends question. "Of course I will, lack of sleep won't prevent me from going." Kaoru let out a quiet yawn into his hand. Kojiro stared at his friend before turning away to clean off a table. "If you're exhausted you shouldn't go for your own health four eyes."

The pink haired man shook his head stubbornly as he grabbed his phone. "Adam might be there, and besides I already told Miya I would go. Hes apparently racing against shadow tonight so." Kojiro laughed a bit and looked towards his friend. "So are you going there to support miya or possibly see Adam?" A tinged feeling struck at the green haired man's chest. Adam was their friend way back when but he's changed a lot and he gives him "bad vibes" now he didn't know how to phrase it, they were so close and now it seems the only thing the green haired man could want is for him to leave. Not to mention the fact his pink haired friend still wants to see him, makes him a bit worried and just upset he couldn't pin point his feelings really he just hated hearing about him,especially from his friend. Kaoru paused for a moment and just sighed "If miya hadn't asked me to go I wouldn't have cared to have missed it today so for the most part for miya. But seeing Adam's a bonus I guess." Kojiros face was sad an upset expression appeared for just a moment on the mans face, 'bonus? Seeing that guy is a bonus for him?'. He laughed it off and turned to his friend. "Well then you should rest up before we have to go. Miya won't be too happy if you fell asleep during his race, I don't think anyone would so-". Kaoru cut him off by waving his hand dismissively as he readjusts his glasses. "Cant, If I over sleep I'll miss it and besides I won't fall asleep during it. You did let me sleep here for a bit so thank you I should be fine." He headed towards the door of the restaurant. "Wait- you're not staying until it?" He sighed and shook his head at the green haired man as he used his fan to jesture towards his out fit, it was his normal daily outfit and not the one he'd wear to  S. Kojiro raised one eyebrow looking at him showing him he didn't understand. Kaoru let out an agitated groan. "I need to change my outfit and go get carla, I left her to charge at home so no I won't be staying." The green haired man's eyes lit up as he nodded. "Alright, I guess I'll see you there then." Kaoru nodded and made his way out of the restaurant taking his leave as he headed home.

As the pink haired man left he sighed and looked back at the restaurant before taking a detour., he went to an old skating place they all used to go to and leaned against the wall. Though he didnt want to admit it he was still extremely exhausted but he wasnt gong to let himself go home, he feared he'd just pass out if he did, so he'd stay out a while and keep himself occupied. In a place that didnt have the 'dumb gorilla' or where he'd have someone to tease him the whole time. Sleep deprivation and being teased just didnt seem like a good mix for him right now. Especially if he had to go and support miya afterwards. But maybe this wasnt the best place to go no it definitely wasnt but he just sighed and accepted it. He reached his arms above his head and stretched before pulling hair up and tying it into a ponytail. He wanted to skate , just something to take his mind off things but with a mind loaded with thoughts he figured he would just wait till after S, if he could manage to stay awake for that long.

My sleeping problem wasnt this bad before, back in high school with him it was better. He would even stay up and skate with me if I couldnt return to sleep. How can a guy that sweet just become like him and leave? I refuse to believe that, a kind guy like him becoming this- this bad. I let out a sigh, it was years ago I should let It go. But he was there for me, I need him- no I NEEDED him. He's of no worth to me now, just a bothersome thought. Things were different back then, even I'm different now and so is he it just blows my mind that he was- no. stop it, stop thinking of that guy it wont make a difference either way so forget it. ive got better things to worry and think about, like S or work. anything but that guy.

Kaoru stayed there for a while just thinking to himself about anything before deciding this wasn't the place to be right now. on the move again he walked away from his place deciding to actually head back to his house and just take a long shower. as he walked through the side walks, hearing the busy buzz of people around him. though he payed them no mind and kept on going. the pink haired man almost seemed completely zoned out as he barely heard the loud red head shouting to him. The kid ran up to him and tapped his shoulder from behind which finally got his attention. he turned around and blinked. "cherry are you okay? I called you like five times." the red head looked up at him with one eyebrow raised. "sorry I I didn't hear you Reki. " the pink haired man sighed still not fully paying attention. until he saw the red head''s suspicious stare. "what? what's with that look?". the kid looked away awkwardly and started to turn around. "SorryIThinkIConfusedYouForSomeoneElse." he mumbled and sped walked away leaving the pink haired man utterly confused standing there.

As the red head walked away he couldn't help but to freak out in his head 'was that actually cherry?'. 'couldn't be he'd be pissed if I called him cherry in public. and he looked tired as hell- has cherry ever even had eye bags like THAT before?' 'maybe he just has a nicer more tired looking twin that also goes by cherry.' he let out a deep sigh before setting his skate board down on the ground and pushed off with one foot making his way back home. Reki wasn't exactly the happiest at the moment either, he was struggling with one skate trick and hadn't talked to langa at all that day. it wasn't like langa just wasn't at school that day, no he was they even sat next to each other in class. just neither of the two teens made a effort to talk that day. Langa had even left without reki that day which made reki even more troubled. He let out a sad dramatic sigh as he made his way towards his house seeing langa near there skating every so slowly. "Langa! wait up will you!" the red head teen called out to him getting the quiet boys attention as he slowed to a stop and waited for his friend. Reki sped up a bit to reach his friend faster, before also coming to a stop. "hey man, whats up?" The red head asked staring directly into his friends eyes. It took langa a second to answer but he shook his head and played it off. "nothings up, why?" 'Pssh!" "nothings up then why didn't you talk to me like at all today?". langa blinked and stared blankly before looking down. "sorry reki I just, wasn't feeling too well today." the blue haired teen almost looked sad as he looked down which made Reki feel a little bad. "its okay dude really, mind me asking what's wrong?" Langa just sighed solemnly and shook his head. "don't worry about it ill be fine. what's up with you? you seem a little uneasy."Reki turned his head and thought. "well besides my best friend not talking to me at all today and not telling me what's wrong. I ran into cherry- or I think it was cherry but he didn't seem like cherry" Langa raised an eyebrow and was about to ask another question. but before he could even get the words out Reki spoke first. "how about we just go into my room and ill explain it more before you bombard me with questions." Langa simply smiled and nodded in agreement.
