Thin Walls


Story Written by Tokiko




A couple days later.


Aoi just woke up from a weird dream where he was being attacked by a giant octopus. He was sleeping on the left side of the bed again. Aoi discovered a while ago that whenever he sleeps on his left side he always had bad dreams.

So Aoi turns to his right side to try and sleep again, but it seems he's still dreaming because that noisy neighbor of his is asleep next to him in his bed. This is worst then the octopus. To try waking up Aoi pinches his arm a couple times until he realizes it actually hurts. He peeks at body next to him and pinches the person's face. This earns Aoi a slap on the hand by the other who still has his eyes closed.

Thin Walls


Story Written by Tokiko




Sometimes when he's bored, Uruha likes to knock on the wall just to see if someone would answer. Otherwise, it's simply to annoy his neighbor next door, Aoi who doesn't go out that much. Instead, his neighbor tends to have a lot of visitors, observed by what Uruha hears through the wall. Aoi says Uruha's noisy, but he's the one who plays the guitar all day long while singing songs about meat buns or red bean paste or some sort of food item. Uruha have asked him before why he doesn't play any real songs. And the other told him his job is writing jingles for radio and TV commercials. Although, Aoi's original ambition was to be a songwriter. Guess things didn't work out. Apart from that whenever Uruha tries to satisfy himself with a partner Aoi pounds and shouts through the wall, which totally throws off his rhythm.

It's the door bell. Not Uruha's though. Maybe it's Aoi's.

Uruha puts his ear to the wall, and hears a door open.

Thin Walls


Story Written by Tokiko




Aoi has a new neighbor who just moved in next door a couple months ago. He doesn't know much about him, expect that his name's Uruha. This neighbor wakes up at around 8. Sings in the shower, off key might he add. Turns on the stereo really loud while he gets ready. Likes rock music. Leaves his apartment after 9. And he doesn't get home before after midnight. Sometimes he gets home drunk and tries to open Aoi's door with his keys by mistake. Sometimes he brings someone home with him. And most times than not, it would be a guy. Apparently, Uruha swung that way. How does Aoi know all this? Well, he can hear everything through the very thin walls that separates their apartment units.

"Ummnnhaahh! Nnnhh..." These are the usual moans that travel through the wall behind Aoi's couch, on occasions.

Reita covers his ears, shaking his head. "I don't get how you can stand this." This golden headed fellow is a good friend of his.

Digression


Story Written by Tokiko




Sometimes my friends say I'm like a cat wandering the city. Or a lion on the prowl as they might say, haha, a reference to my hair, I guess.

See, on most evenings I'm a host at a certain club. I'm not saying the name because it's really not that interesting, compared to the other thousands of them in Japan. My job is to pour drinks and flirt with the clients, who are mostly women but occasionally a couple men will stumble in "by accident". And I'd also have some light-hearted (half-hearted) conversations with them and do these stupid little magic tricks or tell a story of some drunken night I had, which in short is to completely humiliate myself to get a huge wad of extra cash in my back pocket.
