A few months passed and things had been progressing really well between Kamijo and I. Even when we were busy with our careers, we still made sure to make time for one another. We usually did this, by staying with each other overnight. This had become such a common occurrence that I had an extra dresser in my room, purely for Kamijo’s things, as well as half my large wardrobe, dedicated to the things of his that had to be hung up. I even had multiple pairs of his shoes in my shoe closet. However, the same had, had to be done for my things at his house.
We had discussed about maybe moving in together, seeing as we basically lived with one another already, however we had never come to an agreement, the conversation having just petered off and simply not brought up again.
I personally, felt like it would be a good idea and something that we should do, I just hadn’t found the time or moment to bring the subject up again. However, it turned out, that I wouldn’t have too, as a phone call gave us that moment. I had received a phone call from my friend Boa. She had planned to come to Japan, record a new video, which she wanted me to choreograph, and she also planned to take a years respite from the music industry and stay in Japan for it’s duration. She wanted me to help her find an apartment that she could rent out while she was here.
I had said that I would do all of that for her but rather than renting, I offered her my apartment. Telling her that I would need to speak to Kamijo first and make sure that he didn’t mind me, moving in with him, while she stayed at my place. That way, she could avoid rent and all she had to worry about was groceries.
As soon as I had gotten off the phone with her, I had called Kamijo and explained what was going on with Boa and what I had offered her, depending on how he felt about it. I had reasoned with him, that most places here in Japan have you sign up for at least two years at a place and that it was tough to find a month to month lease or a twelve month contract. I didn’t even need to continue before he was telling me yes.
It wasn’t long after this, that I officially moved in with Kamijo.
It was only meant to be temporary but it ended up permanent. Which was not wholly unexpected, what had been odd was how easily we had transitioned into our new living arrangements. Boa loved my apartment and was incredibly appreciative of what we had done for her, it made it really easy for her, especially where Visa stuff had been concerned.
It was half way through this temporary living situation that we made it permanent. Kamijo had come to me, to tell me that he was selling his house and wanted to move elsewhere. I had said ok and told him I would help him move and help him with anything else he needed. He had then told me that I was coming with him, so I needed to help with picking out the house. My jaw had gone slack as I looked at him stupidly.
