The alarm went off in Riley's ear. Forcing him up in a scare. The clock scared him every morning. The worst part was, he did not keep it next to his ear, instead across the room. A habit he had during his high school and collage years was to turn the clock off and go back to sleep. This way it forces the adult out of the warmth of his bed, and up to turn it off. By that time there was no used to go to bed. He blinked a few times, and blindly took a towel before heading to the bathroom. Running the water and adjusting it to the right temperature before stepping it. Lazily Riley went to wash his hair before he realized something. With a few more blinks, he realize his clothes were still on! Riley shook his head for his stupidity, getting out of the shower, and taking them off.
He finished after a while, wrapping the towel around his waist, and hanging his clothes to dry above the shower. Although once he opened the door, Riley quickly regretted it, seeing the cold hit his skin like a ton of bricks. Bracing on, he went back into his room, drying off and changing into a clean blue button up shirt. Which he rolled the sleeves up to his elbows, and put on a pair of dark jeans. Something simple, yet gave him a very good looking persona. Riley took his phone and wallet, putting them into his pockets.

Akiye had not been able to sleep at all the previous night. The apartment next to her had been having a party all night. Sure the cops showed up, but as soon as they left, they all started right back up again. She knew she could have just gone to Ai and Kou's place. But she lived all the way across town. With no transportation at that time of night. Besides, calling them at three AM was a bit out of the question. Although, she had her windows open from the smell of weed and whatever else they had been using the night before. Akiye did not live in the best part of town. In fact, her neighbors sold drugs. Lovely bunch, right? Either way, she lived there because it was cheap. She looked to the time, picking up her phone and calling a taxi.
Akiye was already completely ready. Showered, and changed. Her hair was done. Although she had it short since after the chemo, although that part of her life was behind her. And something she did not enjoy bringing up easily. Slowly, Akiye got up and started her coffee pot. Her clothing was basic for the day. Although most would think she was dressing up for some night on the town. She normally did dress herself up a bit more, but after a night of no sleep, Akiye could not be bothered. Just another month, and she could move. Since that was when her lease was up. Glancing out the kitchen window, Akiye saw the taxi pulling out. Quickly she took hold of her laptop bag. Inside was her keys, wallet, and Ipad that she used for work. The coffee finished, and she poured it into a sealed mug, adding sugar and cream. Not really measuring, but eying it.
Quickly she stepped out of her apartment, pulling the door closed as hard as she could. It was breaking off the hinges already. She reported that issue about a month ago too. Once outside she got into the taxi, and took off towards her friend's home and away from her apartment. Though it did not occur to her she smelled of drugs until she was sitting in the back seat of the taxi. Wonderful. Someone was sure to say something... A sigh escaped her lips as the taxi finally pulled up to the lovely two story home. Akiye paid and stepped out. Walking up to the door and knocking before heading inside.
"Good morning boys!" She said to them both. Taking her coat off and hanging it up. She then headed towards the kitchen. The smell threw the home told her they would both be there.
