Road Trip to Nagoya: Part 1

The entire K' team apartment was silent, save for the soft snores let out by some of its occupants.
Krizalid suddenly found himself awake, his stomach grumbling from a sudden urge to use the toilet.
He yawned and got out of bed, ignoring the snores that K' let out.
No one was awake yet, not even Maxima. New Year's Eve celebration had really knocked them out, especially because of the midnight countdown.
Krizalid gladly used the bathroom and returned to his bedroom to continue sleeping, even though it was already morning. He turned his phone on to see what the time was.
It was nine o'clock.
'Eh, so what?' Krizalid thought, smirking.
He pressed the power button and put his phone back on his nightstand before going back to sleep.
An annoying vibrate sound suddenly erupted. Krizalid groaned and woke up to see his phone practically dancing at the edge of his bedside table.
He quickly rescued it to see what the situation was. Iori was calling him.
And that's when he remembered how the redhead had actually invited him over for Shogatsu.
Krizalid panicked cleared his throat before answering the phone, trying his best to sound awake and refreshed.
"Hello?" Krizalid said, shifting slightly on his bed.
"Hey, you guys on your way or something?" Iori asked. "I tried calling K' and Zayn, but they didn't pick up. Where are you guys at?"
Krizalid gulped. "We... uh... we're still in Minato."
"What?!" Iori exclaimed in shock. "And we're happily waiting for you here?!"
"We're stuck in traffic," Krizalid quickly said. "We'll be there in a jiffy."
"Kriz, you guys better get here quick," Iori said. "We need to leave early for Nagoya. Or else, we're only gonna reach there at sunset. Waste of a day."
Krizalid only just remembered the fact. Not they were unprepared, just that they overslept.
"We'll be there in a jiffy."
"Okay..." Iori sighed and hung up.
Krizalid heaved a sigh of relief and rushed to wake K'.
"Dash!" Krizalid shouted, aggressively shaking K' by the shoulders. "Wake up!"
"What for?" K' groaned. He yawned, scratching his eye, before continuing. "It's so early, go back to sleep."
"Dude, it's nine!" Krizalid groaned. "And we're supposed to go to Iori's for Shogatsu at ten! And Nagoya at twelve!"
K's eyes widened with realisation. "Nuts! I completely forgot!"
"Quick, go get ready!" Krizalid said, rushing to get ready himself.
"We need to wake Zayn too," K' said, tossing his blanket aside and getting out of bed. "Is Maxima coming?"
"Date with Diana," Krizalid shrugged, rummaging in his dresser for the one kimono he had. "Seirah's coming, though."
K' nodded and quickly pulled his dressing gown on, leaving the room. He grabbed the keys and went to the apartment next door.
"Zayn!" K' exclaimed, knocking on the door. "ZAYN!"
Foxy opened, her hair a big mane of a mess. "What is it?" She asked tiredly.
"Are Zayn and Isolde awake?" K' asked, peeking into the house to see.
Foxy frowned. She asked him to wait and reentered the house to see. K' sighed and followed after her as she made a beeline for his room.
"Zayn?" Foxy knocked on the door. "Oi!"
There was a groan on the other side, followed by the door opening. It was Zayn, but his hair...
It looked like he had been through a cartoon explosion, without the blackened face.
K' secretly snapped a picture of him.
"What do you want?" Zayn yawned, setting the other two off into yawns too. (And me too for some reason lol)
"Zayn, we need to go to Iori's now," K' said, pointing his thumb behind him.
"Why?"
"Shogatsu," K' simply said, earning a gasp from the younger man. "And Nagoya."
"Nuts!" Zayn exclaimed in shock, running his hands down his incredibly messy hair. "I forgot!"
"Go get changed," K' said, turning around to leave. "Wear deo if you don't wanna shower."
"Eh, I showered last night," Zayn shrugged, closing the door.
Foxy and K' exchanged disgusted looks.
"Isolde's already awake, she's in the shower," Foxy informed. "I'll tell her to get ready later."
"Well, I guess then I better get going," K' gave her a small wave.
"What time are you guys leaving for Nagoya?" Foxy asked, walking him to the front door.
"Around twelve, I think," K' shrugged. "The earlier we leave, the earlier we can reach."
Foxy hesitated slightly. "Can I come too?"
K' looked at her in surprise. He frowned and started thinking.
For some reason, he, Kula, Zayn, and pretty much everyone he knew had been shipping her with Krizalid ever since the time they danced together back in Rig's party. Whatever happened last Valentine's Day and Halloween only confirmed it further.
But then, was there enough space for her to tag along? The car could surely fit them since K' had a humongous Ford Explorer. But the accommodation...
Then he remembered that they had booked a four-bedroom ski chalet this time. There was plenty of space for an extra guest.
"It's okay if you don't want me to come," Foxy sighed, bringing him out of his thoughts. "I'm just bored here. Since Zayn and Isolde are going with you, Diana's definitely gonna go on full-swing dates with Max. She'll probably even stay there, leaving me here."
"Pack up," K' simply said.
"What?"
"Pack up, we're going," K' repeated. "But wear something nice, we're going to Iori's for Shogatsu first."
Foxy smiled and nodded. "Thanks, I'll get ready right away."
K' grinned mischievously as soon as he left the apartment. He went back to his room and grabbed his things to shower first.
