joke's on u ren and kal time ･ﾟ✫ @discipulusmaleficus

They were both stressed. And tired. Ren, burning the candle at both ends and then somehow a little in between, balancing his day job as a barista and weekend job as a musician along with creating new music; Kal with... whatever it was Kal did. He still wasn't really sure. It seemed better that he didn't pry. And so it was the reason they had gotten out of the city for the day. There was much more of Japan to see than Tokyo, Ren had told him, and so had taken the train out to a small town Ren was quite fond of, with a quaint little cafe with the nicest coffee Ren's ever had and the cutest looking cakes, shops with various trinkets that had probably be sitting on the shelves since time immemorial, and an opportunity shop which Ren had been meaning to visit again lately (and might have been a little of his motivation for going out that day). It wasn't the most exciting thing the country had to show, but the slow pace and quiet nature of the town was much different to the hustle and bustle of the city. On their way back to Tokyo and in the peak hour, they were barely able to get a seat on the train, snapping up two seats opposite each other by the window, their neighbours being a young woman scrolling through her phone and a middle-aged businessman who seemed to be having difficulty keeping his eyes open. No words were exchanged between one another lest they disturb the peace of the train, silent other than the sound of the train running along the tracks. It wasn't long before Kal felt a gentle thud on his shoulder and would hear the stifled laugh of Ren, who covered his mouth and went back to looking out the window, though in its reflection was able to see well enough the now sleeping businessman and the scowl on Kal's face. It would be fun, he decided, to see how long Kal was able to put up with the head on his shoulder or if he would somehow act to put an end to it, or if he would allow the man rest until they finally got back into Tokyo... Ren would bet good money on it not being the latter.
