"YOU FUCKIN' WHAT!?" Akihiko slammed his hand down on the counter as I recoiled in fear.

"I-I said it was an accident! I c-can pick some up tomorrow!" I stuttered as Aki starred into my soul. 

"I asked you to pick up ONE thing (L/N). ONE THING!"

"I'm sorry!"


After Aki delivered a swift blow to my left side, we came to a mutual agreement that I would pick him up some protein powder tomorrow. 

I held my side in pain as I limped into the living room and slowly lowered myself onto the couch.  

"Hey I'm gonna use the bathroom real quick, don't do anything stupid." Aki sighed as he walked past the couch and into the bathroom. 

"No promises..." I muttered under my breath. I reached over to the table and grabbed the remote that rest atop it. I flicked on the tv and began to browse the channels trying to find something that wouldn't melt my last remaining brain cell. After a few minutes of agonizing boredom, I looked over to check the time. The clock read 11:59 pm, how the hell is it this late already? I stared blankly at the clock until my last remaining brain cell I mentioned earlier decided to chime in. 

"Hehe... midnight channel." I giggled. 

I turned off the TV and walked over until I stood about a foot away from the screen. I looked out the window to see a clear sky, not a cloud-to-be scene. Aki walked past me as I stared out the window. 

"Are you seriously gonna try that midnight channel thing?" Aki, he asked as he rolled his eyes. 

"Well, why the hell not? When in Rome ya know?" I shrugged before turning back towards the TV.

"You do realize the reports say that it had to be a rainy night for this to work right?" Aki said trying to knock some sense into me. 

I sighed as I looked over at the clock, it quickly changed from 11:59 to 12:00. 

"I'm just gonna try it okay?" I smiled as I clicked the TV on.

Aki placed his hand on his face as he let out an annoyed sigh, "for the last time, it had to be a rainy nig-"

The TV sprung to life as the sound of static filled the room. I jumped back in surprise as suddenly a figure began to come into frame.

Aki slowly walked over and stood next to me, his face pale as if he just saw a ghost. "w-what the hell?"

The blurry figure slowly became clearer and clearer until there was no denying who was appearing in front of them. 

"Hey (Y/N)?" Aki muttered. 

"Y-yeah?" 

"When did you become talk show host?"

"I didn't..."

But there it was, me in a black 3 piece suit, sitting at a desk. 

"Hey fellas! Welcome to the program! What's the deal with airplanes peanuts 'am a right?" The (Y/N) in the TV siled as an audience began laughing uncontrollably. 

"Oh god, I'm a Jimmy Falon!" I cringed.

"It's real..." Aki whispered to himself, "what should we do?" 

I slowly backed away from the TV towards the front door. I grabbed my holster from the hat holder and check my gun. 

"Wait, what are you doing?" Aki said giving a look of confusion and concern.
