No One's POV
"Satori slow down, you're gonna hit someone with the car." Currently the group of 6 were in the rental car they used the pervious day. For some reason Tendou was driving. Which wasn't safe for anyone on the road or in the car itself. Ushijima tried to get him to not go over the speed limit but his attempts didn't work.
"Tendou, drive like a normal person please! I don't wanna die!" Yahaba screeched from his seat while tightening his seatbelt. They were making their way to the large building the event would be held at. Half of the group was sending their prayers and repenting their souls while the other half watched as Tendou almost drove into a pole. Lucky for them they wouldn't have to endure this torture for much longer.
"We're here! You guys are so exaggerated about my driving skills." Tendou shook his head as he hopped out of the car and stretched his arms. Half an hour of them speeding down the road and swerving to avoid running people of over, and they finally arrived.
When they all got inside, they had to split up. Since they all had different schedules and different things they wanted to see, it only made sense. Shirabu and Tendou went one way, Semi and Ushijima in another, and Yahaba and Kyotani towards another way. All of them agreed to meet up later for lunch.
"So, did you tell him?" Ushijima asked the other.
"No, I just haven't found the right time." Semi answered, looking at the floor. He wanted to wait as long as possible before he told Shirabu the news.
"You can't wait forever Semi. Tell him before we leave at least." Semi only nodded at the other as they continued down the large hallway.

Later
———
It was now the end of the day and everyone was relaxing in their hotel room. The convention was enjoyable for everyone. Although it included a ton of walking, it was worth it.
"Eita. Eita. Eita. Eita!" The copper-hair honestly didn't have a reason to annoy the other. He simply felt like it.
"What? What? Is there a problem? Is there a reason I can't watch my show in peace? Is there?" He looked at the one calling his name with a slightly annoyed face. Kenjiro only laughed in response.
"I'm bored." He fell back on his bed with a loud sigh. Eita turned off the TV, now completely turning his body to the other.
"Wanna go to Walmart?" After a moment Kenjiro agreed and the two got their shoes on. Its not like there was much to do in the hotel. There was the casino but this isn't Kakegurui. They also didn't want to gamble the little money they did have.
By now they were walking down the sidewalk outside of the large hotel. It had a fair amount of people walking on it for it nearly being 9 PM. The closest Walmart was a 10 minute walk. For the duration of the time, they walked in comfortable silence. It was a peaceful night, with the cars passing and light chatter from other people. The sound of people walking along with the occasional skateboard.
The duo walked through the automatic double doors and into the air conditioned store. A worked greeted them as they began walking through the isle.
"Look its you!" Kenjiro exclamation while pointing at a shirt with a clown on it.
"And look its you!" Eita matched the other's energy and pointed at a trashcan.
"Aw thank you." The copperhead gave a fake smile while moving on to the next isle. He left behind the shopping cart so Eita was left to push it along. As they continued through the store they came across multiple things. Everything from clothing items to people watering fake plants. It was a Walmart you couldn't expect much.
"Hey uh- I need to tell you something." Eita started the sentence off at a normal pace and spoke the rest of it in one quick breath.
"Go for it." Kenjiro was looking at the price tag to a hoodie so he was a little distracted. He was listening though, somewhat at least.
"So, I'm going back on tour for a bit." He didn't try to beat around the bush, he wanted to get it over with.
"Oh. Sometimes I forget you even make music. But I'm happy for you." His tone of voice sounded like it was being forced to be happy. The soft smile on his face didn't look genuine if you looked close enough. Kenjiro was happy for the other, really, but he knew when the other went on tour everything would change. No more late night calls, spam texting each other random things, or going to Walmarts at 9 PM cause he got bored.
"Yea." The ash blonde sounded just as sad. He'd been on tour before and he knew just how time consuming it was. Between performing all day and then coming back to a random bed to sleep on, there wasn't much time for anything else.
"So, no more late night calls?" Kenjiro knew the answer to the question but he asked regardless. A glimmer of hope that there was a different reality.
"No more late night calls." Eita clarified with a sad smile. If he was being honest the other had grown on him so much. The calls were something he looked forward too. Even checking his notifications every few seconds to see if the other replied to his messages became something he did often.
"Shame. I was really starting to like you." He let out a bitter laugh as everything set in. The person he would talk to over the phone every day would soon become the person he texted once in a while. They would also probably grow distant with the little time they would have to talk. Unfortunately, it was life. Things happen, people grow apart, not everything was smiles and rainbows. There were no exceptions when it came to the dreadful reality of life. Especially for the duo.
