"Hello? <pause> Hello? Sorry, this is the refridgerator. The answering machine died sometime last week from what IT called a surge. Ha! I take those ALL the time! You don't see ME dying, do ya? Well, it's dead, so I got stuck taking messages. Please SLOWLY speak and spell your name, and include your phone number after the tone so I can write it down on a piece of paper and stick it to myself. Ready?" beeeeeep

"Hey, this is Reita. My phone isn't speaking to me. Seems it's ticked off at me for using it. Typical female. Whatever. Well, it won't connect your call, but I managed to get this machine to do it. IT's not as STUCK UP as my phone is. (to phone) THHHHHHBT! Well, leave a message, and if my phone gives up it's ATTITUDE I might be able to call you back."
beeeeeep

"Do I even want to know? I suppose not. Anyway, it's Kai incase you haven't noticed. just calling to remind you that we have a band comment coming up here tomorrow. It's at noon so try to be at the studio by six? I know I don't really need to tell you this, but some one has to get Ruki moving and you seem to be the only one he'll listen to. He's such a kid sometimes. Anyway, we'll see you there! Ja ne!"

"I'm asuming that Ruki just called you... yes, he called me as well. Aoi and Ururha have disconnected their phones... and I know why now. anyway, it's Kai... as you've probably guessed. Reita, I hate to ask you this at two in the morning, but if you're not over there, already... please... go visit Ruki. He can't sleep. Something about singing cheese."

"Hi, I'm obviously not home right now or I'm just ignoring someone that I don't like, leave me a message and if I don't call back it's you."
BEEEEP

"Reita! Thank you so much! I don't know what you did, but it got Ruki to stop calling me! I noticed your not answering. I'm guessing you're asleep right now, but that's good! you deserve it! Sleep well!"

Groaning, Reita rolled over onto his back and reached down, turning off the answering machine. Once satisfied that it was off, he sighed and rolled back over, wrapping his arms around the shorter figure in front of him.
"Reita?" Ruki rasped out, voice thick with sleep. Reita just pressed a kiss to his forehead and pulled him closer.
"It was nothing, Ruki... go back to sleep..."
"Ok...."
