Standstill


Story Written by Tokiko




It was sunny that day and for some reason I had the strange urge to go fishing. As if he read my mind, I heard my cellphone alerting me of an incoming text message. It was from Ruki.

His text read: 'Let's ride with the swans.'

And I texted back: 'Haa?'

I waited a while, but I didn't get a reply after that. Instead, I got a call from him saying, "meet me at the XXX train station." Then he hung up before I even had a chance to say a word. It's just like Ruki to do this kind of thing.

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.

[buzz-buzz]

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

[buzz-buzz]

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

Transcript



Reita: Hello! Continuing from last week, today we again have the GazettE’s vocal, Ruki-san, with us. We look forward to working with you today as well, Ruki-san.

Ruki: Hey.

Reita: Our tension today…

Ruki: (laughs)

Reita: …Is seriously high. Today… Erm, last week, was terrible.

Ruki: I see.

Reita: Do you guys really stutter that much? Especially you, Ruki,
you bastard.

Ruki: No, I probably wasn’t that bad.

Reita: (laughs)

Ruki: No, I wasn’t bad, was I?

Reita: (laughs) …Well, there was that problem. So, I thought that today we should try to say some tongue twisters as practice.

Ruki: So, because you stutter, you should figure out what to say in your mind beforehand?

Reita: Yeah, that’s right. So after I’ve said the tongue twister, I would like Ruki-kun to try as well.

Ruki: I see.

Reita: So I would like you to try it out and…

Ruki: Yes.

Reita: …I think we should start!

Ruki: Yes!

Reita: This is from radio name… I mean, ring name…

Ruki: (snorts)

Reita: …IchiMAX-san, well, here I go. Tongue twister: Aka abo kabo ki ka abo kado ao abo kabo, aka ga bu kado ki abu kado ao kabado, aka abo kabo ki abu kadou ao abu kadou. (laughs)
(maniac laughing)

Ruki: (laughs) Go home! Go home!

Reita: Wait..! Wait a minute! (laughs) This is hard!

Ruki: (laughs) Yeah, this is amazing!

Reita: Well, Ruki-san, it’s your turn. Everyone, please listen to this carefully! Ruki-san, if you will…

Ruki: Tongue twister: Aka abo kabo ki abo kado ao abo kado.

Reita: …Three times.

Ruki: Tongue twister: Aka ao kabo ki abo kado ao baka- (laughs)
(laughter)

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.

Hindrance


Story Written by Tokiko




You were lying. At least I wish you were. Then everything could go back to normal again. But when you said that you were there that day something changed inside me.

"Hold it." I approached you at the door, slammed it shut with one arm and left it there. "Say it again."

You looked at me, biting your bottom lip. "Yes, I was at your apartment."

Hindrance


Story Written by Tokiko




I can't be mad at you for more than 24 hours. My mind would start turning and I would think up these excuses. Like maybe I really didn't like that girl that much. Maybe you were right after all about her. Maybe you did me a favor by taking her out of my hands. She was a slut just as they said. Maybe you were really trying to help me out.

Then you'd realized what you did was the wrong way. That's why in the end you'd always decide to chose me over her. As in you chose our friendship over someone who was not so special like her. Because I'm more important to you.

Haha! Like that could ever be it.

Hindrance


Story Written by Tokiko




I hate you. Sometimes, I really hate you. But even when you do the worst thing ever, somehow, I'd always find a way to forgive you. Does that make me weak... against you? More than that I just I hate losing to you. Anyone but you.

It was like déjà vu all over again.

I really didn't want to see it. At the hotel room, seeing you with your hair all wet, your chest exposed, your pants half undone and the girl hanging off of you. That girl, who was supposed to mean something to me, suddenly became a blur. Because all I saw was you. And I lost again.

False Claim


Story Written by Tokiko




Alright, it was how it looks. But you're not supposed to be here. At this hotel. Of all the places to be. Why are you here? Why is all this happening? It was going so well too, sorta.

Fumbling with my belt and jacket, I catch the elevator just as the doors closes. I think I almost got my foot stuck there. You must hate the 'close the door' button right now. Your stare can burn holes into it. Everyone knows that even if you press that damn button a hundred times it doesn't really work. And you were trying so hard too. I could see it. The desperate expression you had while trying to get away from me.

False Claim


Story Written by Tokiko




I wonder if this is the way she kisses you. The things she does with her tongue is kinda weird. It's too much. You wouldn't like it. She likes to bite too. Has she done that to you? I haven't seen any marks on you before. So I'm guessing not. I wonder what I'd do if I saw them on you. I'd probably tease you a bit then go off alone somewhere afterwards and go crazy. But I know if you see them on me you'd start that nasally laugh of yours and give me this kinky grin that you don't know you have. Anyway, you wouldn't be in this situation. It's not your style. To be honest you're a bit too innocent for this kinda thing.

Her nails are like claws. She's digging into my skin. And here comes her fangs again. I wish she'd stop that. But it'll be over soon. I push her back on the bed and straddle her beneath me. She brings her arms around behind my neck. While I wrap my hands around her neck. Do you know how much I want to strangle her? This isn't what I'm here to do though, so I release her.

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.

Be Inadequate


Story Written by Tokiko




Ruki dropped his pen on the floor but he really didn't care because he was finally finished. After days of anguish and desperation to have this song in his head be put into words of perfection he jumped up from his chair with the scribbled sheets of paper held up over his head and howled with a sense of accomplishment and excitement.

Anxious to announce the big news to the rest of the band, Ruki slammed open the door of the room at the studio he had trapped himself in for the last few days and nearly flattened a girl's face. But the girl had jumped back quick enough to avoid any injuries. Although, out of courtesy Ruki still had to apologize for the close encounter of almost breaking the poor girl's nose. He bowed his head then bolted down the hall to the nearest rehearsal room, which was meant to be occupied by his band on this day.

_____________________________________________________
I've wanted to write this story weeks ago
when I was really insecure with my work as a graphic artist and a writer,
which I still am and will probably always be.
I suppose working in a creative field not hitting it out the field is always a possiblity,
but dealing with it can be so painful sometimes that it just makes me want to quit.
Although, when I hear even just a single thoughtful and positive feedback
I feel like I should keep on going.
So with that this story was born.
& Thank you~! ^^ for those who still contiue to reading my stories and leaving your kind comments.
