Roadtrip // Kubokai

When two psychics meet

At the morning everyone was greeted by birds, which sang a beautiful song. A slight smile showed up first on Aren's face, then, he slowly opened his eyes, to realize something. Someone else's hair was gently tickling his nose and cheeks. As much as he enjoyed it, he had to get up to think it through. 

Kaidou Shun was sharing bed with him, that's what he knew and was aware of. However, in none of the possible scenarios he created he did not expect them to accidentally sleep so close. Because, there was no chance on earth this was on purpose. He took a few breaths to calm himself down and get rid of the appearing blush. 

Nothing really happened.                                                                    

Not everyone was so lucky to be woken up by birds' songs. Kaidou precipitously opened his eyes to the sounds he couldn't recognize at first, that was until he saw his best friend on the floor. He was exercising. By the time Kaidou stretched in bed and yawned, Kuboyasu used more energy than Shun ever did during P.E. class. And he was only doing push-ups. 

Kaidou observed him for around five minutes, until he finally caught himself staring. He had no idea what to do now, especially because strangely, he liked what he was looking at. There was something fascinating in watching other boys doing crazy things with their bodies. He'd always explain it's just because he liked looking at stuff he couldn't do. Until now when it felt strange and rather inappropriate. He cleared his throat and headed over to the bathroom, where he could spend half an hour on his skincare and body care. 

I don't know what's going on. It's just Aren for God's sake, I shouldn't be feeling this way, whatever the way it is, because i have no idea what am I even feeling! It's too overwhelming. I know we're all on a trip, but maybe I should at least try to isolate a little from him. At least until I cool down a little. 

In the backyard of the motel, there was a small sitting area, where guests could enjoy breakfasts or tea, or just relax while watching beauty of nearby forest. When Kaidou and Kuboyasu headed over there, Saiki was already sitting with a cup of coffee in his hand. 

There goes my calm morning. 

"Hey man, how's the first night?" Aren asked while taking a seat on the other side of round table. 

'Decent' Saiki took a sip of coffee, and shrugged his shoulders. 

In fact, it couldn't be better. My room is a very comfy place to sleep. 

"I think it's very creditable of you to have the guts to sleep in one room with Nendou" Kaidou added. He leaned back on chair a little too far. If not Saiki's reflex, he would probably ended up on a floor. 

Kaidou didn't really want to include Aren in this conversation, and got stressed when Saiki went silent to relish the coffee. He clenched his fists, and tried to look anywhere but at his best friend, which in this situation was surprisingly hard. 

"Hey pal!" Nendou's huge hand stopped on Saiki's arm, making everyone turn to him "You all look upset. Is everything alright?"

'Nothing since you came' Nendou ignored those words and sat between Saiki and Kuboyasu. 

"This place is so boring!" he moaned "Why don't we do something fun?"

"Well, actually" Aren cleared his throat focusing his gaze on Saiki. Meanwhile he hated being in center of attention "I looked up for nearby villages and towns, and if you guys want to, we can go to this coastal town" he waited and after a few seconds of dead silence, he took that as agreement to his plans "Great, let's get ready!"

Aren almost immediately realized there was something strange about Kaidou's behavior. He had no idea what could possibly make him act like that, so he decided to not bring that up until he'd find out what caused his best friend to be so quiet and isolated from everyone. When they arrived, he tried to play it cool while taking photos and vlogging, but a thought of accidentally doing something wrong, that potentially had annoyed Kaidou, was stuck in his brain.
