"Where am I?" Tomo asked as he was woken up by the sounds of birds chirping and sunlight.
"Shut up..." Taka groaned as he also woke up.
"What time is it?" Tomo yawned as Taka looked at his watch.
"7am. We should go to the studio" Taka said as he got up and began trekking back to the car.
"We don't have to be there until 9. Shouldn't we get breakfast first or something?" Tomoya asked as he put his hand over his stomach.
"We can get something on the way. The studio's rather far. I think" Taka responded as they continued walking.

"Ok, maybe the studio's not as far as I thought" Taka laughed as they pulled up 30 minutes later.
"No one else is here. It's kinda weird to see this place to empty" Tomo remarked as they walked through the hallways before arriving at the empty band lounge.
"So what are you gonna do about Toru?" Tomo asked as they both sat down on the couch.
"I don't know" Taka replied as he curled his legs in front of him.
"Maybe it was all a misunderstanding though" Tomo said as he looked through all his missed calls. "He called me 20 times during the night. He's obviously worried about you"
"Then maybe he should just dump me and put us all out of our misery" Taka said as he began falling asleep on the couch.

Taka was awoken by the sound of the door opening and saw Toru marching towards him. He got up to get away but was overpowered by Toru's warm embrace. Taka couldn't even decide if he wanted to continue hugging him or to yell at him.
"Where the hell were you last night?" Toru yelled before hugging Taka even tighter. "I was so worried something bad happened to you"
"Why did you leave? You didn't even take your phone with you, you idiot. Something really bad could have happened and you wouldn't be able to get a hold of me" Toru hugged Taka even tighter as he went back and forth between anger and concern.
"Sorry..." was all Taka could say through the tears.
"And you Tomo. Why the fuck didn't you answer any of my calls? You can't just text Ryota saying Taka's dragged you to the middle of nowhere to you kill you and not answer the phone" Toru said as he pulled away from Taka and walked towards Tomo.
"Taka told me not to answer your calls" Tomo said as he hid behind the couch.
"You told Toru where we were?" Taka yelled at Tomo.
"I just texted Ryota so he would know we're safe. I didn't tell him where we were" Tomo said from behind the couch.
"You should have, you fucking idiot" Toru yelled.
"Taka was so upset. He was going on about his childhood and crying. I was afraid if I disobeyed him he'd just go straight back to being scary and push me into the pond" Tomo defended himself.
Toru looked over to Taka who was now back on the couch and crying with his legs in front of him.
"We'll leave you guys alone" Tomo said as he dragged a shocked Ryota out of the room. 

Toru sat beside Taka and tried to bring Taka into a hug but Taka pushed him off.
"Why did you leave last night?" Toru asked as he tried to hug Taka again.
"Don't bother comforting me. I know you're planning on dumping me" Taka cried as he said it out loud.
"What the hell? Why would I dump you?" Toru responded, flabbergasted.
"Because you're cheating on me" Taka cried even harder. "Who is she?"
"Woah, woah. Why would you even think that? I love you more than anything" Toru said as he tried to hug Taka.
"That night. You said you were going to see your brother and his wife because they were in Tokyo, yea?" Taka said as Toru nodded. "She said she hadn't seen you in a year"
"I'm not-" Toru tried to say before Taka cut him off.
"The handcuffs in your apartment. We've never used handcuffs. Who were you using them with?" Taka continued.
"I told you, those were a gag gift from a long time ago. I-" Toru said as Taka continued.
"You're always so secretive. Won't let me see your phone, talking on it privately. You used to let me just go through your photos or messages if I wanted to send myself something, now you won't let me do that anymore" Taka said crying.
"There's an explanation for all this, though" Toru said.
"Yea. I overheard you talking to Ryota last night. He asked when you were going to do it. Then you said I was already too upset about my dad and you didn't want to do it yet. I feel like such a fucking idiot. I wanted to marry you, Toru. I bought the rings and everything. Then I found out you're going to break up with me" Taka yelled out.
Toru looked at Taka and sighed. "You jump to wrong conclusions way too easily"
"What's the right conclusion then?" Taka barked back.
"I lied to you about going to see my brother, that's true" Toru responded. "I did feel really bad about it. But. I had a purpose I promise"
"It better be a good one..." Taka muttered.
"It was, I promise. I went to go visit your mom. The handcuffs really were a gag gift from a high school friend years ago. I was a virgin when I got them, I literally blurred it from my mind. I completely forgot about them until I began packing up. I talk to your mom on the phone often, she hassles me about when I'm... going to do it. The thing I was talking about with Ryota. If you had listened to the conversation fully... I wanted to wait for the thing with your dad to blow over before I gave you... this" Toru said as he pulled a box out of his pocket.
Taka grabbed it and opened it.
"Isn't this my grandpa's? Where did you get it?" Taka asked as he held it in his hand.
"From your mom. I went to see her when she was still in Tokyo. She gave me the ring to propose to you" Toru responded.
"I'm an idiot, aren't I?" Taka responded.
"Just a bit..." Toru laughed. "I do still want to spend of my life with you though. If you do as well"
"Of course I do" Taka laughed as he kissed Toru.
"I love you, even if you're a fucking idiot" Toru laughed as he put the ring on Taka's finger.
"I love you too" Taka laughed as he kissed Toru again.

"What do you think they're talking about? It's almost 8:30. People will start coming in here soon" Tomo said as they both stood outside the lounge.
"Probably having sex" Ryota laughed.
"But Toru was going to dump Taka" Tomo responded.
"What the hell? He was literally just talking to me last night about his plans to propose, then he drove around Tokyo until 3am hoping to see you guys" Ryota responded.
"But Taka and I heard you guys talking. Taka just ran outside and drove me to some forest where he cried all night" Tomo responded.
"Toru didn't say anything about dumping Taka..." Ryota said as they saw John walk over to them.
"You guys are early" he remarked as he passed by on his way to his office.
"Should we... knock?" Tomo asked as they looked at the time.
"I'll text Toru" Ryota said as he got out his phone.
Toru opened the door to let them back in.
"So did you two work things out?" Tomo asked reluctantly.
"Yea" Taka laughed as he pushed his hair back.
"Woah is that... a ring?" Tomo asked as he got closer to Taka.
"It's his grandpa's. I can't believe you actually thought I was cheating on you whilst preparing a proposal" Toru laughed.
"Shut up" Taka laughed.
"Have you given Toru the rings yet, Mori-chan?" Tomo asked.
"Rings?" Ryota asked.
"Not yet. They're at home" Taka responded.
"Rings?" Ryota asked again.
"I also bought rings" Taka explained.
"Is it too early for champagne? I feel like we need to celebrate" Toru said.
"We can celebrate tonight, first, we record" Taka said as he kissed Toru again.
