I would like to acknowledge kawasakininja and eatingthepie for some of the information here. It's from kawasakininja that I learned that Yune announced his departure from Gazette on January 21, 2003. eatingthepie mentioned that the Gazette's Japanese Wikipedia entry once said that Yune went deaf so he left.

However, upon further research, I noticed that the Japanese Wiki only actually said that he served as a support drummer on July 2003 when Kai had a temporary hearing loss, explaining the 'deafness' linked to Yune within the entry. But the idea was nice so I stuck with it.

BGM is additional cause for sorrow by deadman. But before I forget, happy birthday, Aoi. ♥

Longest shit I've written, ever. Please do point out the buttload of mistakes that I've done since I'm incapable of doing that myself. By the way, IM means Instructional Materials. :3

Yes, the porn isn't all that intense, but I wanted the situation to be as real as possible. And there are elements of my actual writing here, a few hints/loose ends which challenges you guys to speculate on what actually happens or what happens next.

Serious business aside, Georgey, this was the original older!/younger!guy fic. Of course I'm still writing that Kai/Reita.

Oh yeah, some of the things here are based on real experience. Which ones those are, I will keep undisclosed. ^^

The reason why I wrote this one is to first and foremost, dedicate this piece to three people out there. They know why, ahah. Anyway, the other reason is that I wanted to challenge myself. Earlier today I went out with my friends granitemouth and asahisuperdry and told them about which of the boys was easiest and hardest to write for me. My answers are Uruha and Aoi respectively, but the reason for that is a story for another day. Going back; when I got home I decided I wanted to write about them but in a different way than usual. The way I usually write Aoi is him being all open and Uruha the opposite, which is how I normally see them. But in this piece I banked on the aloofness that Aoi must feel -- that is, being left out -- as based on his various interviews, and Uruha's dorkiness.
