Chapter IV

~*~

Saturday had finally arrived, meaning it was time for Scaramouche and Kazuha to meet. Before meeting up at Kazuha's place, both males decided to grab a bite to eat.

Scaramouche took a big slurp from his drink before saying, "Hurry up and finish eating. You're wasting time from my precious weekend."

Kazuha rolled his eyes and continued to take a small bite from his chicken, disregarding Scaramouche's remarks. Scaramouche grabbed his phone and opened up a social media app. After scrolling for a while, he decided that maybe the band needed more publicity.

"What if we make an account on social media? I think it would help us gain more recognition."

Kazuha placed his chicken on the plate and nodded eagerly. "Yes! It would be best if you let Thoma be in charge of the account. He's good at keeping up with the latest trends and is a very likable person."

Scaramouche smirked. "I agree with you for once."

Kazuha continued to finish eating his food, while Scaramouche sat there in silence staring at the window. The bustling restaurant was packed with loud groups of teenagers. Some adults were eating chicken and drinking beer. Kazuha and Scaramouche looked so out of place in the restaurant compared to the other customers. After Kazuha finally finished eating, they both argued over who should pay. Unfortunately for Kazuha, Scaramouche ended up paying because Kazuha gave up.

The entire walk to Kazuha's house was chaotic. The air was filled with angry bickering between both males. Insults were thrown at each other, but neither took it personally. It was friendly arguing, sort of.

Once they finally arrived at Kazuha's house, they went inside, took off their shoes, leaving them at the doormat. Scaramouche was never a nosey person. He always minds his business and doesn't pay attention to others, but as soon as he stepped into the house he couldn't help but look around. "Do you live alone?"

"I do." Kazuha replies. "My parents don't live with me. I don't enjoy being at home a lot, but at least I have a friend to keep me company now."

"You have a friend? Hard to believe." Scaramouche scoffs.

Kazuha ignores Scaramouche's rude remarks. "Yeah, I do actually."

Scaramouche walks around the house curiously. Kazuha follows him around until the purple-haired male comes to a stop. His eyes are focused on a picture of Kazuha when he was younger.

Curiosity gets the best of Scaramouche and he asks, "Who is this next to you, in the picture?"

Kazuha hesitates to answer, until he takes a deep breath. "It's an old friend of mine... we were very close."

Kazuha's mood suddenly saddened, which Scaramouche noticed almost instantly. He stopped pestering Kazuha about the picture, quickly changing the subject. "Should we go practice now?"

Kazuha nodded and led Scaramouche upstairs to his bedroom. As soon as Kazuha opened the door, the duo were met by a feline friend.

Scaramouche stared in confusion. "Is this the cat I was playing with in the alleyway?"

Kazuha picked up the cat and started petting her. "It is! She started following me when I was walking home, so I just let her in."

Kazuha held out the cat, allowing Scaramouche to pet her. Scaramouche let a small, genuine smile form on his face. Nothing makes him happier than cats. "I see... you have proved me wrong. Cats do like you."

Kazuha let out a small chuckle, satisfied that he could prove himself to Scaramouche. "I told you." He put the cat on the floor and she rubbed her entire body around Kazuha and Scaramouche's leg.
