Third person's POV

It had been a month since Uruha came back to live with Aoi and things came back to normal. Most of them, anyway. Like usual, the younger and older guys fought about unimportant stuff but they were both fine with it. After all, they'd learned that it was better to say things right away and straight out rather than holding them inside until you can't take it. The both of them tried to look over one another.

"Uruha," the older guy said one late evening as they were both laying on the couch, the younger guy using Aoi's lap as a pillow.

"What is it?" the other guy answered, not even turning his eyes from the TV.

"I was thinking..." the voice sounded hestitant, like the other guy was unsure if he should say it out loud or keep it to himself. Actually, he was unsure by what answer he might get from the younger guy.

"Hm?"

"Don't you think...we should start...the GazettE again?" He finally finished and waited for an answer but there was none. 

Several moments passed but the younger guy didn't say a word. Stayed silent and frozen until he finally lay back from the raven and sat up on the couch, looking straight into the other's eyes.

"Maybe, it was a bad idea to ask after all," he murmured and smiled apologetically. 

However, he couldn't hide...not from Uruha...how sad and hurt he felt. The younger guy could see that in his eyes and the dim smile that vanished the very next moment. Actually, the younger guy just needed a moment to think. He wasn't expecting this question. After all, he knew that the only reason the guys decided to go on hiatus was because of him. Even if Aoi didn't say anything about it, he wasn't stupid. There wasn't any information about his leave on social media, only the band's hiatus for unknown reasons. 'Could they start all over again what he destroyed? Would the others agree?' Uneasy thoughts crossed his mind. Uruha could guess Reita and Ruki's answers but there was still one person he wasn't so sure about...Would Kai join them again? Uruha couldn't tell.

"Sure," he finally said after several minutes of silence. 

The older guy wasn't expecting to hear that answer and tried to continue watching some boring movie instead but he was also lost in his own thoughts.

"What?" The raven asked, surprised as he looked away from the screen that he didn't even know was showing something.

"Let's meet the guys and talk about the band," Uruha answered, looking carefully. 

He could see that the other guy's eyes almost shined as he heard it but he only nodded in response. However, he could see the raven smiling for himself even after they came back to their lazy and peaceful evening on the couch.

Third person's POV 

Aoi and Uruha were the first ones to arrive at the place where they'd all decided to meet. As they came in, the raven felt a little nostalgic. This place hadn't changed one bit since the last time he was here. Just looking at it brought some memories back, like when he first met one of the guys and was introduced to the band and became their guitarist. However, he didn't have much time to get back to the past because soon after, two blond guys showed up in front of them and greeted them.
