Ouma groans as he grabs his phone of the bedside table, annoyed at whoever could be calling him at 6:30 on a Saturday morning.

He picked up nonetheless. "Hello..?"

"Hey Kokichi! It's me, Shuichi!"

Ouma groaned again and sat upright, leaning his head against the cold bedroom wall. "Shuichi, I know we're friends and all, but at least give me a heads up before you call me at 6:30 in the morning.."

"Ah, of course...sorry, Kokichi." He replies.

"It's fine. Now, why are you calling me? There better be a reason.."

"Oh, right! It's because I um...wanted to invite you to my house for a sleepover!"

Ouma felt wide awake immediately. "Really..?! I mean, I'd love to, but no-one's ever invited me over to their house. That's probably because I've never had friends though..."

"That's exactly the reason why I'm inviting you over! I hate seeing you so lonely all the time, so I thought trying new things would be good!" Shuichi replied. Ouma almost snorted at how over-enthusiastic his friend was being.

"Alright, do you want me to come over tonight or tomorrow night?" Ouma asked.

"Tonight. It would be stupid to have a sleepover the night before school.." Shuichi replied.

"Fair enough. What time?"

"Around 7:15."

"Ok! I'll see you then. Bye!"

"Bye Kokichi!" Shuichi replied just before Ouma hung up.

He sighed and laid back down, deciding to take a nap before getting up and having breakfast.
