“Hello?”
“Sho-chan?”
“Aiba?”
“I called to say goodnight.”
“Ah...but actually I’m at Zero filming so it’s at least a few hours till I go to bed. I’ll sing you a lullaby if you need it though.”
Sho offered despite himself, hoping against hope that Aiba would actually not take it.
“Ah...that would be good. Thank you Sho-chan.”
“Ah...yes...what should I sing?” Sho looked around nervously and smiled at his co-caster. Mao-san grinned at him and showed him a thumbs up. Cheeks burning in embarrassment he put his palms over the receiver and began to sing softly.
Despite his whispers Mao-san giggled beside him throwing him amused glances.
Sho groaned inwardly but continued singing thinking he was helping his bandmate go to sleep.
Suddenly.
CRAAASHHH! BADDOOOOMMMM! GRRRRR!!!
“AIBA! ARE YOU ALRIGHT????”
There was a long pause from Aiba’s end and Sho breathed hard as he heard more loud, scraping noises and the voices of people shouting.
Aiba panted a little before speaking again, “Ah Sho-chan sorry for that. Continue from where you left off.”
“Are you alright?”
“Yeah. But the set I was leaning on isn’t...”
“Oh. Thank....Wait a minute, set?”
“Yeah, I’m at filming too.” He responded cheerfully, “And probably will be for a long time cause now it doesn’t start for at least another 2 hours.”
“IF YOU’RE NOT SLEEPING THEN WHY DID I SING YOU A LULLABY!!!”
“I dunno, cause you wanted to I guess...”
“Ackh. Aiba don’t call to say goodnight unless you’re going to sleep!”
“Okay....”
“...”
“Can we chat randomly? Maybe bitch about Nino?”
“...Yeah we can do that.”

“Ja, goodnight Sho-chan!”
“Aiba...” Sho massaged the bridge of his nose very slowly and tiredly, “It’s noon!”
“Ah...Good noon then Sho-chan!”
“Aiba, how can I say this, I’ll be frank. Why the hell did you call me?”
“To say good noon. I’m going to sleep now.”
Sho chuckled, “Okay Masaki good noon. Did your filming end now?”
“Yeah, I guess it’s my fault in the end so I can’t complain.”
“Filming turns night into day and day into night!”
“Then I was right Sho-chan.”
“About what?”
“About saying good night. If what you said is right, then it’s night now right Sho-chan?” Aiba said suppressing a yawn.”
“Baka, what sort of logic is that?”
“I don’t know it’s your logic and I trust it.”
“It’s not my-
But he could already hear little snores from the other line.
“Baka...” Sho whispered softly into his receiver before cutting the call.

“Sho...”
“Hmm?”
“Puni-chan can’t sleep.”
“That dirty, stuffed dog of yours?”
There was a gasp at the other line and a clatter as though the phone was dropped and Sho heard faint consolations directed at Puni-chan in the background.
“Daijobou, he didn’t mean it. Sho-chan loves you! He’s just stupid."
After more rustling Aiba was back, “Sho Puni-chan isn’t convinced! He’s crying! Convince him!”
There was a long silence during which Sho imagined Aiba having pressed the phone to Puni’s half torn ear.
Sho sighed.
“I love you Puni-chan”
Aiba almost squealed, “Puni-chan is happy!”
“Yeah Yeah. Why’d you call again?”
“It’s not important anymore, Puni-chan fell asleep and is now having happy dreams, goodnight Sho-chan.”
“Ah...okay. You have happy dreams too, okay?”
“Okay. Night!”
“Night.”

“Aiba...I can’t sleep.”
“I can’t either.”
“So have you been feeling jittery and uneasy too?” Sho asked eagerly.
Aiba muffled a yawn, “No Sho-chan you called me 7 times. I woke up.”
“Oh...sorry...I should hang up.”
“No, Sho-chan, it’s okay. Say what you need to.”
“Okay.”
“...”
“...”
“Sho-chan?”
“Yes?”
“Was there a reason you called?”
“Not really.”
“Okay.”
“...”
“....Aiba?”
“Yeah?”
“Are you asleep?”
Aiba chuckled sleepily, “I should say 75% yes.”
Sho smiled, “It’s okay I’m okay with the 25% of your brain that’s awake.”
“25% says thank you.”
“Welcome.”
“....”
“...”
“Sho-chan?”
“Yeah?”
“Why did you call?”
“I don’t know, I feel nice like this somehow.”
“Put me on loudspeaker.”
“You won’t try re-enacting a bedtime skit again will you?”
“No. Too sleepy for that. Look, I’ve put you on speakerphone. Do the same.”
*click*
“Okay, done.”
“Now put the phone beside you on the pillow near your ear.”
Aiba waited for the shuffling to end.
“Can you hear me breathe?”
“Yeah...yeah I can.”
“See, now it’s like I’m there with you. Go to sleep Sho-chan.”
“Good night Aiba.”
Fifteen minutes later Puni-chan woke up due to the combined snores of his roomie and roomie’s phonemate

“Sho-chan?”
“Yes, Aiba?”
“I love you.”
“I love you too.”
“I said love not like.”
“So did I.”
“So...yay?”
“Yeah...yay.”
“YAY!”
Sho grinned.
“Good night Aiba.”
“Oh you BET it’s a good night.”
Before Sho could say anything else Aiba hung up on him.
7 minutes 16 seconds later his bell rang.
