One day, Tsukasa got a mysterious letter from his classmate, Rui's older sister. In it was an invitation for him to go on a trip with him, Rui. He accepted without much thought. He never imagined that this would be the start of something great.

"I-It's already tomorrow?! It seems I can't go back home like this..."
Rui was feeling ashamed after he realized he couldn't return home because of his clothes being ruined.
"Well, this place is different from our hometown. If you're gonna try and take care of yourself here, you have to know how to do things."
Tsukasa advised while looking at Rui who was still standing there dumbfounded.
"Ugh, fine. I'll just turn my ruined clothes into our blanket when we find the place." Rui said, pissed.
Tsukasa looked at Rui. "Are you sure? Its like, cold outside."
Rui nodded. "Yeah, I'm pretty sure it'll be a little chilly since its night time." He said as he turned around and headed towards the direction he came from.
After a few minutes, Tsukasa finally caught up to Rui. "God, we cant go back home yet! We have to find the item for our show!" Tsukasa said as he was panting.
Rui sighed. "Fine then. Let's look for the item."
They walked down the road until they saw a familiar house. "Hey, isn't that your house?"
"Yeah, it is." Rui replied, "But that means we went the wrong way."
"What, really?"
"Yes. It's the wrong direction."
"Oh well... Lets just stay here then go back tommorow." Tsukasa told Rui.
"Problem is, i only have one bed and the couch are those single people type of couch." Rui stated.
"Don't worry about it. I'll sleep on the floor." Tsukasa said.
"Also.. I dont have any spare matress." Rui added.
Tsukasa sighed. "Then I'll just sleep on the ground."
Rui rolled his eyes. "You can just sleep with me on the bed, you know. You don't have to be so stubborn about it."
"No, no matter what, I won't be sleeping with you. That'd feel weird."
"Why? What's wrong?" Rui said, sounding concerned.
"It's not like I hate you or anything, but I wouldn't want to... That would just be too weird, y'know?"
"..." Rui was silent as he scratched his head awkwardly.
Tsukasa felt bad about this, "Ugh, fine."
"Alright then, let's go inside," Rui said as he opened the door.
The first thing they did was head towards the living room where they made themselves comfortable on the sofa while waiting for dinner.
"So, like, any plans?" Rui asked Tsukasa after several minutes of silence.
"Nah, not really. Just that i want to reach that special item." Tsukasa replied.
"Oh alright, oh right.. The eggs are boiling. I'll get them." Rui stood up and left the living room.
About a minute has passed, and Rui prepared both of them boiled eggs with fried rice.
"I didnt know you can cook, Rui." Tsukasa said surprised.
