Frozen in Time

Chapter 4: Admiration and Fan Meetings

Izumi Sena x Reader (F) (!!)

Synopsis: Now that the model finally returned to the country for idol work, you were given a task to participate as their photographer for tomorrow's fan meeting. Unknown to them, you are one of their avid fans but surprisingly, you kept yourself low due to your career. Note: I'm going batsht crazy in this one with my godly morning shower thoughts. This got me wildin'. And also, I'm giving them names cuz why not? Warnings: Swearing, violence, and Masked Pervert.

"No, please, stay away the f*ck away from me! We're over this since Repayment Fes?!"

You ran away from a certain someone like your life depends on it. You didn't expect that a few idols in that agency will remember you, even after a year of not meeting them after the yearbook project last year's Repayment Fes. Especially from the one who scared the living nine rings of hell out of you back in your days as a student of Yumenosaki, who is chasing you with a maid dress magically appeared from thin air.

Oh, you wanted to forget the days you were in the Theater Club, being harassed by a certain someone from the club you were in.

"But isn't this an everyday routine for us to have a wonderful, lovely exercise, (Name)? Or should I say, Little Miss Photographer~?"

Chills crawled on your spine when you heard that nickname from him. You wanted to kick him where the sun doesn't shine and leave him right there on the spot.

You nearly forgot how many times you ran laps around 22nd floor, where Starmaker Production's office is. You just wanted to visit your dear friends who graduated a month ago but you ended up being chased by a certain idol from a certain unit and he is one of the certain few you don't want to meet after graduation.

You felt so desperate to call for help that you took out your phone from your pocket and contacted a group call instead of a single person in contacts. You pressed the call button with no hesitation and waited for them to respond. When you saw that someone picked up, you started the call.

"H-Hello, my knights in shining armor, I need your help. A clown is chasing me and I'm running away from him like my life depends on it...!" Tears formed on the corners of your eyes as you called and you tripped down, cursing to your clumsy self for being careless.

Oh, you wanted to run away from him so bad that you desperately called for help from someone but your cries were thrown out of the window when he caught you in his arms, making you scream in fear. As he caught you in place, he wrapped the maid dress around you, trapping you and preventing you from pushing him away from you. 

"Now, now, I want you to behave just like you always do~"

You struggled and flailed as he carried you in his arms and let out a satisfied hum. Your phone fell to the floor and the call ended just like that when he brought you somewhere far from the office and he grinned like a child getting a candy he always wanted.

"Let go of me, you masked pervert! You harassed me too much!"

The sounds of rushing footsteps can be heard after the elevator opened up for them as they reached the 22nd floor and outside of StarPro's office. Panic-stricken gazes look around to see if there are any differences around the place. One of them saw a phone on the floor with the screen facing up.

He picked up the phone and checked to see the owner of this certain device made in the new age of modern technology. A blush crept up on his cheeks when he saw the phone case. It's a picture of him in his introduction pose with the theme of Knights in the phone case's background.

"Whoa, so the owner of the phone is a Knights' fan? Seemed nice of them to use a picture of you on it. What a rare sight~" His companion snickered and he rolled his eyes. He pressed the power button to see who's the owner and to his surprise, it's their photographer.

His companion nearly cackled out loud at the sight of you as the lock screen's wallpaper. They had no idea you're a Knights fan. He shrugged it off and put your phone in his pocket to keep it safe. "Enough of that, Leo. Let's look for (Name) in StarPro's office."

"I think you don't need to do it, Izumi." A blonde idol showed up from behind them. Izumi turned around and saw a familiar idol he was once obsessed with back in his years as a student of Yumenosaki Academy.

"Ah, Yuu-kun~" Izumi opened his arms wide and went closer to Makoto. But the latter dodged him before he'll get trapped in Izumi's embrace, resulting in Izumi nearly falling down. Leo guffawed at the sight and clutched his stomach and fell on to his knees. "Today is really not Sena's day, huh?" Leo continued laughing and Izumi let out an annoyed sigh in response.

Makoto let out a nervous chuckle and continued, "Anyways, about Big Sis, she's in the office with fine. I'll go look for her." Makoto walked away and entered StarPro's office but was stopped by their unit leader by the entrance. Hokuto Hidaka, Trickstar's leader, showed up at the entrance, stopping his unit member.

Before Makoto asked Hokuto why he was here, a loud crash was heard, scaring the two other idols outside of the office. "Well, you don't need to look for her here and she's at the conference room with Masked Perv— I mean, Senior Hibiki" Hokuto pointed his pointer finger at StarPro's conference room.

The four idols ran their way into StarPro's conference room to see what was going on and to their surprise, it was just you pinning Wataru down to the floor with a broomstick, which is a prop from Dramatica's circle. Around the two of you was a maid dress and scattered papers on the floor, which seemed like the events before the crime scene.

An ominous aura seeped out of you as you glared at the eccentric idol of fine, who was grinning smugly at the way he was pinned down to the floor like this. Your glare is cold and it speaks death. It was a dangerous sight to see from a normal person's perspective. But to an eccentric, it was amusing yet slightly intimidating.

Dread seemed to wash over the two knights and the two stars at the sight of you doing such physical violence towards an idol, especially someone from a well-known unit.

"B-Big Sis?! Please put that broomstick down...!" Makoto yelped out and that caught your attention. Your gaze shifted to where Makoto is and your glare never left your gaze. Chills crawled on his spine and he knows that you're clearly angry.

Izumi walked closer to you and looked down on you with the same gaze but less sharper. "Alright, that's enough." All of the sudden, he flicked your forehead. That action surprised almost everyone in the room. Makoto jolted in surprise when your head was slightly thrown back a little, Hokuto was stunned that his eyes widen, the corner of Leo's mouth twitched and took out his pen and notebook to compose after a single click of the pen, and Wataru on the other hand, was amused at the sight.

You gritted your teeth and irked in annoyance. "What the hell was that for?!" You glared at Izumi while rubbing your forehead. Izumi and Leo's eyes widen at the sudden profanity spilled out of your lips. "Can y'all just calm down? This masked pervert right here is forcing me to act along with the script he had on hand."

"Script? What script?" Makoto asked you in confusion and looked at the scattered papers around you and Wataru. You picked up the said script on the floor and waved it in the air. It reveals the name of the play.

"It's the Love in Spring, inspired by Love's Joy and Love's Sorrow by a certain German pianist, Fritz Kreisler. This clown right here added a twist on it, which it'll be based in the old English times—the play's timeline was around in the early 1900's. It's a forbidden love story between the Middle Class and the Noble Class—which are the statuses of the main cast." You explained as you held the broomstick's handle with your other hand and let out a sigh.

Wataru stood up and dusted himself with Yuzuru's help. He chuckled as he looked at you with delight and began to tell the story behind the script. "And this script was once written by this little dove right here. I helped her remaster it until day. But sadly, before the script was close to be finished to the connoisseur's expectations, she left the club after we became second years."

"Sis wrote that script?" Hokuto's eyes looked at you in disbelief and Wataru nodded at the question. "In case you wanted to read it, her name was written on the script's cover."

You look away, embarrassed and shyly chuckled. "Oh, quit that..."

Wataru chuckled and grinned at you. "Fufu~ My, Little Dove's skills never became rustier than I expected them to be. You're still the smart and the talented one, I see?"

Your bashful expressions disappeared and you groaned and ignored him and turned to face the four confused idols. You put the broomstick aside and began to explain, "This clown here is one of the reasons why I left the club and joined the Broadcasting Committee and Handicraft Club. I even have to hide away from him by joining the Library Committee and spend my whole day reading books while not being disturbed by him."

"And you harassed me almost every time ever since the day I signed myself up to be the part of the music and background team in the club back then." You hissed and crossed your arms, which he answered in mere amusement in response, "And that's because I saw you reading the lines and enacting that certain character in the script. You know you can't waste such a potential, Little Dove~"

You walk away from Wataru and hide behind Izumi and Leo. You let out a sigh and faced Makoto and reassured him, "Sorry, Makko. Don't worry about it. I'm not mad or anything. I was carried away by my emotions when I was supposed to follow the script as always."

"Wait? Seriously?" He asked and you nodded. "And this is another reason why I left the club."

Wataru let out an amused chuckle and grinned. "(Name), it seems like you called your precious knights to save you—the damsel in distress."

"How many times do I need to tell any of you that I'm not a damsel in distress...?" You facepalmed and let out an annoyed sigh.

"And since we're here to pick up the damsel in distress," Izumi spoke up and carried you in his arms. You blinked twice, trying to process what the heck was going on. Seriously, what is with Knights carrying you like a princess?

"Excuse me, sir. I can walk on my own." You muttered and narrowed your gaze to his, meeting his icy cold ones. You irked when you saw his gaze, seeming like that he read you like a book. The silver haired stated, "We've completed our task and if you'll please excuse us because we have a meeting with her later by ten."

Leo and Izumi excused themselves to leave and walked towards the elevator to go down to the 7th floor, where the New Dimension agency office is. You raised a brow while looking at him coldly. "Do you even need to carry me?" 

Izumi smirked and replied, "Well, I have a feeling that you'll run away like a runaway princess. You were so close to being late until we found out that you're here on the 22nd floor when you're supposed to be on the 7th floor. Are you betraying your loyal knights and going to the heavens?" You facepalmed at his remark and let out a sigh.

"For your information, I pressed the button with 22 on it without seeing." That was a half-lie. He doubted your words as he pressed the button to make the elevator doors open wide for them to enter.

"What an airhead you are." He commented, making you irk once again. "Not to mention, you were an absolute klutz and completely impulsive. Why don't you be more aware of your surroundings next time? I'm sure you won't end up playing cat and mouse with someone like what happened today." He continued as the three of you entered the elevator and the doors closed after Leo pressed the button with the number seven on the controls.

A vein popped out on your forehead, making it seem obvious that you were irritated at his words. You inhaled deeply and exhaled out. Your exhale sounded like a cat's hiss, which made the composer stifle his laugh and ended up letting out a silent snicker. 

You glared at Izumi and spoke out, catching Leo's attention. "Tsukinaga, please translate the Sena-nese for me in the shortest term possible." 

Leo perked up and grinned. Just as he opened his mouth to speak, Izumi glared at him but the composer is not communicating in body language right now. "It translates into: Next time, please be careful and be more aware if you don't want to get involved in a situation you don't want to be in." Leo grinned while he translated. Your eyes widened at the translation. You began to doubt that but that affirmation alone made your heart skip a beat and pink began to dust on your cheeks.

"I see..." You were at loss for words.

Izumi wanted to hit Leo's head but his hands were full. Why? It's him carrying you in his arms. Not that he would mind but he liked the feeling of holding you close. The model shook his head at the thought and controlled himself to not blush hard at the thought alone.

At the 7th floor in front of the elevator, Arashi and Tsukasa were waiting for you, looking worried. Tsukasa paced back and forth, feeling nervous because you sounded so distressed when you called them, to which Izumi answered the call for them.

"Has anyone seen (Name)?" Leo asked the others after they entered the conference room. To his surprise, they shook their heads, telling him they haven't seen her.

"It's almost ten. Why isn't she here yet?" Izumi sighed out and scoffed, "She'll bring her modeling agency to shame if she's late."

As Izumi muttered under his breath, everyone's phone buzzed in their pocket. Izumi took his phone out of his pocket and to his disbelief, he saw your contact picture from the group chat Arashi made in Hold Hands. He answered your call and his eyes widened when he heard your voice, sounded like you're in pure desperation.

"H-Hello, my knights in shining armor. I need your help. A clown is chasing me and I'm running away from him like my life depends on it...!" The call ended after you screamed. Hearing the word "clown" made Leo point out a certain someone from the circle group he is in. The model sensed a bad feeling inside him after hearing you call.

"Wait. "Clown"? Isn't that Wataru—" Leo's words cut off when Izumi ran out of the conference room to get you. The look on Izumi's face scared Tsukasa when he left the meeting room with Leo. 

Arashi felt dizzy seeing Tsukasa pacing back and forth out of worry. She noticed that he began to overthink of your current predicament and she placed a hand on his shoulder, making him stop from pacing.

"Don't worry, Tsukasa." Arashi patted his shoulder. "(Name) will be alright. She'll be fine." Tsukasa nodded at her words of reassurance and waited beside her in front of the elevator.

Just as the doors opened, Arashi pulled out her phone from her pocket and took a picture at the scandalous sight right in front of them. Tsukasa's look of worry disappeared when he saw Izumi carrying you in his arms.

When the two idols exited the elevator, Arashi snickered and commented. "This is the second time this has happened, Izumi; you have (Name) in your arms like the knight you are." She held her chuckle and put her phone back into her pocket.

Tsukasa deadpanned and to his dismay, he spoke out, "You do know you'll create such rumors when someone sees you like this... Carrying Ms. (Name) like that..."

Izumi huffed out. He was about to retort when you spoke out in realization. "Ah, right. Today's my day off as Knights' photographer..."

"And that means it's a date~" Arashi beamed out and took you out of Izumi's arms. "Let's hang out with Mika." She spun around and squealed in glee. You felt dizzy and began to question yourself why almost everyone in Knights love to carry people to their destination.

"R-Rashi... I'll pass." Your words caught her attention and she stopped squealing and spinning around. Arashi looked at you and tilted her head in confusion. "Hm? Why the sudden decline? Do you have other matters to attend to?" You nodded at her question and she put you down to the floor. She softly smiled and hugged you. "Alright, then. We won't let you stay long if that's the case. Perhaps your little kitten missed you right now at the agency."

A smile curved up on your lips after hearing about Nyaitsu missing you. Oh, your work days here in Ensemble Square made you miss him with all your heart and resisting the urge to not touch anyone's hair while you're missing your cat. Especially Izumi's hair. It seemed so soft, just like Nyaitsu's fur. You thought of petting it, knowing if it has the same softness like—

You shook your head at the thoughts about your crush being petted. You felt embarrassed thinking about it right near your crush. Just thinking about it made your heart pound inside your chest. A blush grew on your cheeks, feeling ashamed for what you had done.

To avoid any more embarrassing encounters or actions, you hurriedly left the hallway and walked your way towards NewDi's conference room. The way you left without a word made the others confused at your sudden exit.

Today's meeting with Knights ended up smoothly inside the conference room. After Leo and Ritsu pushed Izumi out of the conference room, leaving you, Tsukasa, and Arashi in there, it became quiet and checked your notes about last week's result in the circle meeting tasks. While checking, you noticed that something was missing from the notes you wrote.

"Did I miss the Niki's Kitchen circle group...?" You muttered under your breath and Arashi heard it since she was sitting beside you. "Hm? Izumi wasn't around when that circle meeting occurred."

"And BIBLION's circle meeting was at Starmony Dorm." You crossed that circle's name out of the list. "Sadly, it was done at Starmony Dorm and outsiders aren't allowed to enter."

"And CRAFTMONSTER?" Arashi looked at the list and she let out a quiet chuckle, inaudible for you to hear. You replied, "It was chaotic. Glad that I met Makko and Hokkun there at the props room. They helped me calm down and make me feel better while Itsuki and Amagi are..." You didn't continue and let out a sigh as you reminisced the chaos that ensued the previous week's events.

"And Ritsu used you as his pillow for the whole time, hm?" You nodded at her question. "Yeah, at least the young ones know how to calm an adult down while the other ones are acting like children but still have the maturity of an adult..."

Your comment made her chuckle as she continued to look at your notes with you. A smile curved on your lips when you reminisced about what happened the previous week. You let out a sigh, making the memories you reminisced seemed like a nostalgic memory. "Sweets Fan Club, Pretty 5, Overnight Outdoors Party, and Kaori made me think that it's completely normal." The blonde couldn't help but to be amused at the sight of your smile.

"You should've seen Suou eating the mochi with Oukawa. He looked like a hamster when he ate one." A chuckle escaped your lips at the memory. "But Shiratori is more like a hamster when running around when he sees something interesting and when he acts like a fan. I nearly let out the fangirl in me but failed..." A shy chuckle escaped your lips as you rubbed the back of your neck with your hand. "I can't help it... I acted more of a fan and you saw me like that..."

"I know~" Arashi chirped. "And it's adorable seeing you like that."

Unknown to you while you rambled about the memorable moments you had in the first week of the project with Arashi, she looked at you and noticed just now that you didn't wear your mask. It is a sign that you felt comfortable around Knights. A soft smile was curved up on her lips, seeing how you've improved in socialization. She began to feel soft at the sight of how your eyes sparkled and a joyful smile on your face that flowers began popping out of her and spinning around her.

"When I attended Kaori's circle meeting, I noticed that Oukawa and Suou are in the same circle. I was surprised when I found out that they're distant cousins. They look so alike... Maybe it's because of their eyes..."

Arashi continued to listen like a good listener she is. She always listened to your rambling and accompanied you all the time whenever you two were on breaks. It feels soothing to her ears listening to your voice.

"Ah right, remember the photographs of Mr. Sena I showed to you a few days after he left Japan for work in Italy? It was the photos of him at AOUMI, right? I remember that I told you that his eyes matched the water in the tanks due to the lighting.. I couldn't help but to admire it to the fullest. It was such a pleasant sight to behold..."

Her eyes widened the moment you said his name. 'Oh, here it is...' She smirked and smugly looked at you as she prepared her phone to record your rambling about Izumi. The moment she tapped the record button, she knew that she'll use this for future purposes.

"As expected of a model and an idol like Mr. Sena. He looked so beautiful that he seemed so... attractive? Ethereal? Eye-catching? I don't know how to describe it. He's just so... Oh, I'm out of words to say..."

Tsukasa deadpanned at Arashi's smug look on her face. He closed his eyes and exhaled out. He can see that she is so ready to save these recorded audios and use it in the near future.

The garnet-haired knight knew the look on her face says that she is looking forward to see you wearing a wedding dress and walk down the aisle, holding a wedding bouquet on your hands, the veil hiding your beautiful face, waiting for it to be lifted by your groom after exchanging each others' vows at the altar. A dreamy sigh escaped her lips and that made him let out an audible sigh and walk out of the conference room.

You continued to ramble on and became more of a chatterbox the more you told Arashi about what happened last week with a smile. She only nodded and listened with an occasional "Yes, go on."

A giggle escaped your lips and you stopped when you were off track from the actual topic. You shook your head and cleared your throat and spoke once more. "By the way, I have a few pictures of Suou and Oukawa eating mochi together and their cheeks are really like a hamster's..." Your words faltered when you didn't feel your phone in your pocket. You went pale when you felt no phone in any of your pants' pockets.

Arashi looked at you with worry and concern. "Is something wrong?"

"My phone's not here..." You muttered out. "I must've left it or left it at StarPro's office." Panic began to wash over you and stood up to leave the conference room.

"I'll help you look for it, (Name)." Arashi followed you and exited the conference room as well.

Izumi and Leo noticed that you and Arashi left the conference room, seeming like you were looking for something while you were checking your pockets. Leo let out a smug grin, almost akin to a cat's as he looked at Izumi, who seemed clueless. The composer chuckled and poked the model's shoulder and smirked, "Hey, Sena~"

Izumi looked behind him and narrowed his gaze. "What?"

"Aren't you returning the phone back to the original owner?" That question alone made the model's narrowed gaze disappear and change into a stern one. "I'll return it but I want you to never interrupt me and her or you'll spook her." Izumi left to follow where you and Arashi had gone and Leo giggled at Izumi's concern towards you and followed him.

Tsukasa couldn't help but to deadpan at the sight of his seniors following each other like baby ducks following its mother—you. He felt like trailing behind to see what will happen next but, and oh, he might as well as avoid another secondhand embarrassment his seniors will cause.

Just as the two of you entered the elevator's lift, someone called you from behind. "Hey, (Name)." You look behind to see who calls you. It was Izumi. You raised your brow as you looked at him and you and Arashi exited the elevator before the door closed. "Is there anything you need, Mr. Sena?"

"You forgot something." He replied. You eyed his movements when took something out of his pants pocket. Your eyes widened and you paled as you saw a familiar phone charm hanging on the phone case. "O-Oh..."

There revealed on his hand is your phone. And what's worse for you is that your idol crush has it with him. It was pretty obvious on the phone charm and on the phone case. Your face flushed red in embarrassment when you saw your phone in his hand. You nervously gulp down as your hands begin to shake.

Arashi's jaw dropped to the floor when she saw the phone charm hanging on your phone. She grinned and gave you a side eye with a glint of mischief on her eyes. She stifled her laugh and covered her mouth with her hand and held her chuckle.

"Is this yours?" He asked you with a stern face. "Y-Yes..." You nodded at his question and he stretched out his hand to give your phone to you. Your shaky hands took the phone out of his calm ones and quickly kept it inside your pocket. "T-Thank you, Mr. Sena..."

'Oh my God. He knows I'm a Knights fan and he's my total bias...!' Cold sweat was formed on your forehead and you quickly excused yourself to leave and enter the elevator without thinking. Just as the doors closed, three of the idols from the same unit stood there in confusion.

Aghast, the blonde broke the silence. "I didn't know she's a fan of Knights... Especially Izumi." She covered her mouth with her hand in surprise to hide her gaping mouth. She turned her head to look at Izumi. "Hey, Izumi, what do you... think...?"

Arashi's voice faltered when she saw Izumi standing there in the same position after you left. The only thing that added in his current frozen state was a full blush on his face, reaching the tip of his ears. His eyes wide in surprise and his mouth slightly agape. Seeing this kind of reaction from the model, Leo waved his hand in front of his face and pinched his cheek.

"Oi, Sena. Why are you standing like a statue?" Leo poked his cheek to pester Izumi. "Did Medusa make you look into her eyes?" A wide grin was plastered on the composer's face while he continued to annoy Izumi with his antics.

To their surprise, Izumi didn't flinch and just stood there, frozen like a statue after the sudden revelation. Arashi snickered and took a picture of Izumi in his current state. "Seems like (Name) touched his heart and squeezed it that he froze like that." She let out a chuckle after she commented and put her phone back into her pocket. "Oh, Izumi, you're infatuated with the one you swore to protect. The silent oath you kept in your heart is blooming out of you and we know that~"

Inside Izumi's mind is absolute chaos. If it were to show his different personalities in his mind, his infatuation towards you is battling with his obsession towards Makoto. It is a war, a war between two personalities, whether his heart will long for Makoto or move on to pursue you and your love. His annoyed personality in him pressed the button with the label named "To love" when it was supposed to be "To avoid". Oh, his heart was pounding in his chest, suffocating him and his life source is to love you with all his heart and soul.

On your way to YMSK Modeling Agency, you couldn't help but let out a distressed groan when you held your phone in your hands and pressed it close to your chest. You were quite embarrassed to hide it anymore when Izumi found out that you were one of his fans.

You shook your head at the thoughts as you reached the agency building's entrance and cleared your mind with what you had discussed with Knights in the conference room.

"So, after the results of last week's project, I found out that BIBLION and Niki's Kitchen are the ones that were not involved in the project due to circumstances." Tsukasa remarked and continued, "Here are reasons why. One, Izumi wasn't present at Niki's Kitchen's circle meeting and two, BIBLION's circle meeting was held at Starmony Dorm and outsiders aren't welcome to enter the said premises."

You nodded as you listened to Tsukasa as the meeting continued. For someone who is the youngest member of the unit, he has the capability of being the leader. He was known for being crowned as the King of their unit at Repayment Fes since the coronation after Leo graduated. It was a heartwarming sight for one to see but saddening for the others.

"Since the said circles didn't participate in the COLLABORATION project, it will be held once again once the requirements are met: Complete members, location— limited for both sides— the photographer and the members, and most importantly, the member of the said unit must be present along with the photographer." Tsukasa turned to the next page of the report and looked at the next main topic on the agenda and spoke. "Since last week's tasks are done and the results are out, we'll move on to the next one in the agenda."

You flipped the page of the announcements and saw something pretty interesting at the main agenda.

"New Dimension Agency Units' Fan Meeting?" You read the main agenda out loud, enough for them to hear. Tsukasa nodded his head and stated, "Yes, the units in that agency will have a fan meeting outside Ensemble Square's main live stage."

"And it says here that I'll be there to take pictures of Knights near their table for the fan meeting." "Yes."

You fell silent. You often came to Knights' fan meetings to support them but this time, you'll be there for work. "I see..."

You pretended to understand but deep inside, you were so close to crying because you couldn't attend the fan meeting as a fan. You felt like a poor, unfortunate soul before you were blessed by the omniscient being's benevolence. You wanted to sigh but you have to make a good impression towards an underclassman of your alma mater.

Right now, you were listening to what Tsukasa stated in this week's meeting. But your focus shifted to something you couldn't actually pinpoint. You felt someone staring at you but you couldn't guess who nor wonder your gaze to who was staring at you. At the same time, you felt that the gaze that stared at you was oddly familiar—

A blush colored your cheeks when you gave the person who stared at you a bombastic yet criminally offensive side eye glance. You caught Izumi in the act at 4k HD 1080p and it seemed that he didn't notice you glancing at him so that's good. You shook your head to focus. 'Work is work.' You thought.

You furiously scratched your head with both of your hands as your face went flustered red when you found out your crush was staring at you for the whole meeting. If only you could take a picture of that rare sight and all is done but he will be mad at you for doing so. Taking a picture without their consent is not in your vocabulary. Consent is a must and everything will be fine after they say yes or no. 

But that sight was tempting for you that you still had your self-control and it had you on a chokehold. You felt glad that you didn't do that or else you'll not only be feeling his cold, intimidating aura, but a whole blizzard as he looked down at you with a condescending gaze, watching you as if you were an insect to be stepped on. Luckily, it didn't happen and you didn't get a cold or fall sick if you overstepped a boundary of his.

You quickly fixed your hair to your usual hairstyle before you entered the office. You don't want anyone to call you as "unruly" or "unkempt" since the day you became Knights' photographer and it'll bring great shame to their name. A sigh escaped your lips after you made yourself look neat and tidy from head to toe and opened the door to the office entrance. Before you could greet them with a "good morning", something pounced straight onto your face, making you stumble backwards and trip on your feet and fall to the floor.

"My, my, Nyaitsu. You missed her that much?" A familiar voice was heard after the chuckle. Her voice irked you that you gently removed the kitten away from your face and held him in your arms. You sat up and looked up to see who it was.

"So, Saki, are you here to see me suffering or leave me like this?" You sighed under your breath when you saw your cousin, Saki, smiling in front of you as her height towered, almost intimidating you. "Nah, I'm here to see you arrive but the kitten here recognized your scent so I couldn't help but to be amused at the sight." She jested as she held out her hand, offering it to help you stand up. You accepted it and stood up properly and dusted your pants.

Nyaitsu climbed up to your shoulder and clinged there while his tail swayed up in the air. He purred as he rubbed his cheek to yours and napped. "I know, I miss you too." A small chuckle escaped your lips and smiled.

Saki began to notice the signs of distress in your appearance that she looked at you with worry. "Is something wrong? You seemed to have a lot in your mind." She guided you to your cubicle and sat on your swivel chair while she sat down on the stool nearby, meant for your guests or clients.

A sigh escaped your lips and answered, "New Dimension's idol units are having a fans meeting in three days."

"Was that a problem?" She raised an eyebrow in confusion and you nod. "I won't be able to face Mr. Sena now that he knows I'm one of Knights' fans. And what's worse, he knew that he was my bias..." You lower your head in shame as you slumped down to your work table.

"I'm pretty sure he saw that on your personal account when you last posted your Sena Shrine." Cold sweat was formed on the back of your neck when she stated one of your posts in your Hold Hands account. "The moment you changed your bio at your profile, that was when Knights found you when his fans tagged them and they added you, especially Izumi's but I guess he didn't see your profile I guess."

"Oh, now don't remind me of that please." Your hands grabbed the sides of your head in absolute despair to turn back in time and forget that Hold Hands ever existed. "What's funnier is when they made a group chat with you in it. Only Arashi knew about your account and your posts involving you as a fan were kept private with your friends. And yet, she knows you are a Knights' fan. At least she didn't tell the others about that."

You let out a groan and gave her a side eye. "Stop that." You hissed under your breath. "It's embarrassing to hear that from you."

A few knocks were heard on the cubicle, making the conversation turn into a halt. The two of you look up to see the front desk manager leaning on the cubicle's entrance. "A good morning to our favorite photographers. There's a gift for the photographer named (Name) of YMSK Modeling Agency." She said as she revealed a paper bag and a small box in her hands and placed it on your desk.

"Pfft— (Name) of YMSK Modeling Agency..." Sakj stifled her laugh and swiveled to turn away from you. "I think I finally know who's the sender." She cackled out loud and chortled. "Cuzzie's got an admirer and she met him from work~"

"Hey, Big Sis..." You let out a flustered chuckle at her mentioning the word "gift". You shook your head and sighed. "And, what else?" You asked her. She answered, "It was there on the counter at the lobby when I returned there. No sender or no return address. Weird."

"What's weirder is being more aware after we found out the contents inside this paper bag. Let us hope that it's nothing uncanny or dangerous." You continued as you took the paper bag from its handle.

"And I am certain that there is nothing dangerous in there." She replied with a smile as she chuckled that you raised a brow as you glanced to look at her and she smiled in return. Her smile was too blinding for you to look at that you don't have any other choice but to fumble your hands on the paper bag.

Just as you opened the mouth of the paper bag to see the contents, a blush colored your cheeks pink when you realized who was the sender of the gift. You could vividly remember back then when he looked at the plush toys on the shelf in the souvenir shop, the way he held the plush on his hands, and the way he carefully held the paper bag gently from the handle with great care.

'Izumi Sena of Knights.'

"There is no way he gave me this..." You revealed the item by pulling it out of the paper bag. What was revealed is a blue octopus plush from AOUMI Aquarium. "Oh my God! It's a gift from an admirer!" The other two full-fledged adults of the society squealed at the sight of you holding the plush's head and fangirled.

You rolled your eyes while they fangirled and sighed as you pulled out the whole plush out of the bag. Then, it was followed by a ribbon tied on to the box from the plush's arm, hanging you lifted it up in the air. You blinked twice and held the box in your hands and untied the ribbon that was wrapped around it.

"Oh my, what's inside the box cuz'?" Saki asked you in anticipation and eyed the box closely. The cover was made of cardboard with the color of navy blue, Knights' color motif. You closed your eyes and slowly opened it while looking at the box with one eye open, hoping it's not a bomb.

As the box's lid was fully removed, it revealed a pair of gloves, fitting for your size. It was made of felt velvet and it's soft to the touch the moment your finger slid on the glove's cloth. Knowing the quality, it is expensive that you paled and closed the box quickly and gently as you can.

"Well, it seems your admirer is surprisingly rich." Saki chortled and covered her mouth using her hand to hide her grin.

"I know who gave me the plush but not the item inside the box." You deadpanned and returned the plush into the paper bag. "If he comes back, I'll return these to them. Who knows what might happen if there's a hidden camera or recorder or tracking device in the plush. It'll be the worst thing that'll happen to me once I find out that an "admirer" of mine is a stalker."

Somewhere in Japan, a sneeze was let out of him, making his companions stifle their giggles at the sight and at the sound of his sneeze. "My, did someone speak ill of you today?"

You checked the box carefully as you placed the gloves on the table gently and with ease. Knowing every gift box like this has a plastic or styrofoam, you removed the foam from the box and saw a small card in it. You read the text in the card and it's written in neat handwriting. It reads:

Accept this gift as a mark of gratitude and handle it with care. I'm looking forward to your growth and progress as we worked together as collaboration partners.

—Zumi

The note ends with a familiar name—or nickname in particular under the handwritten text on the note and the signature on the bottom right part of the said card. Your jaw dropped and your blush grew when your assumption became reality after denying a few moments ago when you knew who actually gave you these gifts. You had hoped it was someone else but it's hard to deny when the one giving this gift to you is someone you knew. You felt like jumping right straight into the sea and sinking into the seafloor and never coming back.

"Oh God..." You facepalmed as you looked at the gloves in realization. "I think I'm in love and I'm in denial about it..."

"Denial is a river in Egypt, indeed." The two ladies snickered as they began to create gossip by communicating with their body language.

"You two, quit that."

Finally, today is the day of the fans' meeting. Your hands were shaking in anticipation when you saw the long lines near the front of Knights' stage. Overwhelmed by the sight of the crowd, you felt like you're about to faint and wanting to disappear in the distance. You breathed to calm yourself down but nothing worked. You can feel your heart pounding in your chest, suffocating you from the core.

"I can do this. I can do this. I can do this..." You muttered under your breath as you chanted to yourself to calm down. "This'll be work-related. Fan hobbies will be saved for later..."

Your thoughts went out of your mind when someone tapped on your shoulder. You nearly yelped out but someone covered your mouth to keep yourself quiet as their arm circled your waist. Out of mere instinct, you elbowed their sides and pushed them away from you.

"Ow! W-Whoa! Hey, chill. It's Saki!" Saki raised her hands up in the air in defeat. You noticed that she wore the same clothing as you from head to toe, except that she had a paper bag hanging around her forearm and no camera sling hanging around her neck.

"Cuz', I brought a change of clothes for you to go in line." She said and held out the paper bag to you on hand. "Wear this once your shift is out because it'll be your turn to get their autograph and have a handshake with each member."

You felt like you were on the verge of tears. How supportive of her, she thought. "Did auntie know about this? She'll get mad for barging in at work you know?"

"Oh, I'm wearing a disguise, dummy." She grinned devilishly. "Don't look down on the former Theater Course student of Yumenosaki. I know your moves and lines, my sweet little cousin~"

Annoyed, you clicked your tongue and looked away out of mere irritation. "Theater kids... You remind me of that masked pervert from the Idol Course..."

Saki shook her head in amusement and chuckled. "I'll be here at the sides, watching you once it's almost clear. But first..." She trailed off and went to the merchandise area. "Merchandise is on the top priority list~"

"H-Hey, don't spend all of your money on merch first..." You held out your hand as you tried to call out to her and you let out a sigh when you knew that her brain was not listening.

You turn your head to see the idol units from New Dimension and smile at the sight. Knights' stage is close to Double Face's and Switch's. Realizing that, it'll be hard for you to walk with the guise that Saki brought for you if any of them can recognize you—especially Madara Mikejima and Tsumugi Aoba, your fellow batchmates from Yumenosaki Academy, and Sora Harukawa, who can recognize your color through his synthesia.

You grimaced and put your face mask on and fake glasses for the first weak layer of disguise. You held your camera up and adjusted the photo quality and pointed the lens to any random item or view you could see. Your hands nearly lost hold of the camera when it was directed to Izumi, who was on Knights' platform with the others.

From the camera's screen, it was shown that you were behind ES' staff and it was almost blocking your point of view from the camera but the focus remained on Izumi while he's talking to Leo and Tsukasa related to work. As the lens focused to him, making the items near from your perspective to blur, you couldn't help but to be amazed at the sight like always as time seemed to freeze once more. That sight alone made your heart pound in your chest and this time, it wasn't out of anxiety or fear but out of admiration.

Speaking of Izumi, you knew he was the one who gave you that blue octopus plush because you saw him holding one back at AOUMI Aquarium's souvenir shop a week and a few days ago. A faint blush dusted your cheeks at the sight. Luckily for you, it was hidden behind your mask, making you smirk in relief.

As you became mindless and your thoughts went blank for a moment, you pressed the shutter. The camera let out a short click after the beep and the flash came out, causing the people in front of you to turn back to look at you. Everything seemed fast in reality but your time became slower than the speed of light traveling from one space to another.

Your mind returned to reality when you felt a dangerous gaze on you. The staff in front of you were about to report you to the security and contact them. But, just as they saw your personal identification hanging on the lanyard's clip, they disregarded it and turned their attention back to where they had last stopped.

Their gazes brought a shiver on your spine as you stayed in that position for what felt like forever, making you tremble in fear. You were snapped out of your current fearful state when someone approached you from behind, making you jolt as you were alarmed by them. You turn around to see who it was and— Lo and behold! It's Izumi Sena, looking at you with his usual cold and icy look on his face.

Izumi suddenly grabbed you by the waist and guided you to the back of Knights' stage in an urgent manner. You bit your lip in anticipation and held your breath as he did so. But his hand on your waist made your mind blank and the panic in you disappeared. That made you blush and feel butterflies on your stomach. 

'Oh, God... Is he unaware that he's subtly making a move on me?' You looked at him with a confused gaze. 'Or is he trying to get me out of there and save me like the knight he is?'

"Now, aren't you supposed to meet us before the fan meeting time?" Izumi asked you and looked at you with a worried look on his face. As always, his voice betrayed his expressions but his close friends know all too well that he showed his feelings and emotions through his voice and not on his face. "You were trembling and jolting like a cornered mouse. Did a few cats scare you?" He asked another question with a snarky grin as his hand on your waist went to your shoulder, comforting you.

Inside Izumi's mind was full of questions when he saw you trembling. He gently rubbed his hand on your shoulder, comforting you as he held you close to him in a protective manner. His icy blue eyes that were once a cold gaze became warm and softened at the sight of you overwhelmed at the crowd. He wanted to pull you into an embrace to comfort you more but he couldn't. It's because he was at a public area, where there are prying eyes and nosy fans are nearby, watching them.

As he realized this, he looked around to see if anyone was looking or glancing for a moment to them, he quickly escorted you, held you closer to him as he and you approached the others, who were behind the stage's wall, waiting for the both of you to arrive. His expression changed from worry to serious when they all turned their attention to the two of you as both of you approached them.

"Ah, finally! Principessa is here~" Leo chirped and waved his hands in the air with his signature greeting. "Uchuu~ Principessa...?" 

Leo's voice faltered when he saw your current distressed state and his eyes widened in surprise when he saw you like this. Your head down, gaze to the floor, embracing yourself as you made yourself smaller and vulnerable, and faint trembling was seen but evident on your hands as you clutched the camera sling. "Principessa? Is something wrong?"

"She was so overwhelmed by the crowd near the staff area that it caused her to be like this." Izumi answered Leo's question for you and he knew that you were in no condition to speak a word. "I found her behind the staff members after a quick flash caught my attention. When I went there to check to see where the flash was from, that's when I saw her, trembling like a cornered mouse being glared down by a few cats."

"Ah..." Arashi covered her mouth and remembered something. "She hates crowds."

The other Knights members turned their heads to look at the blonde knight who seemed to realize about your current predicament. "(Name) hates crowds or audiences. She hated being the center of attention and it made her feel scared." Arashi explained. 

Izumi rubbed his hand on your shoulder again after he heard it from Arashi. His face stern but there was a hint of worry in his gaze. Leo was about to say something about it but Arashi covered his mouth before Leo could say a word or two and ruin the atmosphere and spook you or anger the cynical knight.

Ritsu looked at you with a look of concern and yawned. "I'll be right~ back." He walked away and waved his hand. "Wait for me in a few minutes."

"Kuma, you can't just walk away when the time of the fans' meeting is approaching like a storm." Izumi facepalmed with his free hand and sighed, followed by Tsukasa and Arashi, who let out a soft sigh afterwards, forming a domino effect.

"I'm back." The languid vampire knight whispered behind you, making the silver haired knight jolt and pull you into a protective embrace as he heard Ritsu. Arashi's eyes widened in astonishment and commented, "Well, that was fast..." She wasn't sure to herself if she was referring to Ritsu's return or to Izumi's reaction speed the moment he became protective of you in your current state as he sensed danger on all sides.

"Stop doing that, Kuma. You're scaring her." Izumi glared at Ritsu. The vampire's brain is not listening as he leaned closer to you and draped himself over you. Arashi nervously chuckled and walked closer to the three of you. "Now, now, Ritsu, would you mind if you give them some space? (Name) seemed like she didn't want attention from more than one person and Izumi is quite protective of her right now..."

"Nacchan, Secchan, she needs to be huddled up in a most comforting way, you know?" Ritsu snickered and nuzzled his cheek on your neck, which made you jolt in surprise, alarming Izumi. "And she needs some time alone, you know?" The cynical knight pushed the vampire knight away from you gently and slowly.

Arashi couldn't help but to hold herself back from screaming and squealing. She felt so jittery that she fished for her phone in her idol uniform pocket and took a few pictures. But her hands were too shaky to take a picture with her phone, Tsukasa took the phone from her hands and did it in her stead. The blonde knight squeezed their unit leader tight in her embrace and kept fangirling in silence while the leader was done with his seniors.

"Hey, hey, Anzuuu~" Leo waved to the producer behind them and ran towards them. "Please give me my music sheets and pens. Inspiration is starting to overflow out of me!"

"Leo, we're three minutes close to the current event in the schedule." Anzu replied and looked at the time on her phone. "Will you save your compositions for later?"

The ginger-haired knight let out a laugh and grinned. "Only for you, my Producer~" The producer couldn't help but to sigh and approach the others who were surrounding you. "Three minutes on the clock. Prepare yourselves."

"Yes, Producer."

After Anzu left, Izumi leaned closer and whispered, "Everything will be fine. Just stay calm, okay?" He reassured you as he pulled you into a warm and gentle embrace. Izumi knew that this is not the usual him but a side he never showed to anyone other than Makoto. His smile grew when you nodded and patted your head.

"Good luck out there. We'll be watching over you."

The fans meeting went well as they came to meet and greet with their favorite idols. While you're taking pictures, you face your lens to the units other than Knights, mostly on Switch and Double Face. You were wondering why Madara is handling two units at once and formed a joint unit with Kohaku from Crazy:B, making your jaw drop in surprise when you saw the cherry blossom haired bee standing beside the festival lover. You can see that there is bad news once things get serious, just like how Madara became serious in such situations.

While your attention remains on Knights as their photographer, a voice calls out to you and it makes you lose your focus when you know who called you. You turn around, pretending to take a picture and you see him waving at you while he's signing his signature at his unit's CD album.

'Madara Mikejima...?!' Your jaw dropped when he was able to recognize you. You slowly shifted your attention back to Knights and ignored him. 'How did someone like him see me near Switch's stage? Of all times...' You irked as you glared at him from the camera lens and sighed. 'Great, ignorance can be a bliss sometimes...'

"(Name), I know it's you right there~ Come out~!" You were about to raise your voice and approach him but Kohaku stopped him before things will take a serious turn. "Madara, ya can talk to this "(Name)" person after the fan meeting. She'll still be around fer work."

"I see, I see..." The brunette nods and confirms. "Well, since you had met her in the previous week, I'll listen."

A sigh of relief escaped your lips and continued to take pictures as you moved to change the angle's perspective for the pictures to be taken and to be shown to the others. Somehow, a hint of envy and slight jealousy was seen in your gaze when you saw Izumi's fans receiving his autograph and a handshake from him. You lower your camera to your chest and stare at him from a distance. A fleeting pain was felt in a single heartbeat from your heart, making your mood to change and let out a sigh.

From Knights' table on the platform, Arashi saw that all-knowing look of envy on your face. She let out a small grin and elbowed Ritsu. The vampire grinned in return and the two gave Izumi a side eye from their seats, looking at the knight who was signing for his fans' autographs and gave them a handshake and began to communicate through body language.

'Should we tell him?' Arashi glanced at Ritsu and raised an eyebrow. 'Nah, it'll delay the project's progress further.' Ritsu gave her a stern gaze in return and smirked as his eyes gestured to Leo and wiggled his eyebrows. 'But we can tell Tsukippi about it later~'

'Oh, certainly.' Arashi grinned and the two silently snickered as they continued to give their love to their fans as idols in this current event. Tsukasa on the other hand noticed how Ritsu and Arashi communicated through facial expressions and held his sigh as he returned his attention to his fan before him while watching over his seniors.

Tsukasa noticed that Leo was looking at something on the other side of the venue and called him to catch his attention. "Leo, are you composing with your mind again?" He asked and looked at what the former king was doing right now. "Nah, I'm looking at Principessa right now." Leo answered and Tsukasa glanced at where the ginger was looking. There he saw you holding the camera over your chest, looking at Knights' stage with a crestfallen gaze. He noticed that you were staring at Izumi and it clicked him. "Don't tell me..."

"Yeah, like I had guessed." Leo smirked and signed an autograph from his fans in line. "She wants to be in line because she's one of our fans."

"But isn't she staring at Senior Sena just now?" He asked him and he immediately returned his attention to greet his fan with a smile. "Thank you for supporting KNIGHTS, my lady. Oh, Leo, she wants you to sign the album's front case, our lady's request." 

"With pleasure." Leo nodded and signed the album and grinned. "Thank you for your heartwarming support, your highness~"

As the fan left, they returned to discuss the topic they had just paused. "Hm, I dunno but we'll talk about this once the event is over." Leo said with a whispering tone, making the garnet-haired knight agree to it. "We'll talk about this with Naru and Rittsu later." 

Tsukasa nodded and glanced back to look at where you stood but to his surprise, you weren't there. 'Did she go somewhere?' He quickly looked around and didn't see you behind or nearby Switch's platform and became concerned. 'I think she was covered by the staff behind them again...'

A few hours had passed and it was almost time for the event to be over. That was Saki's cue to intervene and switch places with you.

While looking around, you found her near the restrooms while you were on a break. You gave her your camera and she gave you a paper bag containing a different set of clothes for you to wear. Saki grinned and patted your head. "Make sure to stay unrecognized~"

"Of course, I will." You smiled in return and went to the restrooms to change into your new set of clothing.

Minutes later, you came out of the restroom, revealing yourself in black long sleeves, blue denim baggy pants, and in a messy half-ponytail. "Sheesh..." Saki grinned and bit her lip. "You're pretty-pretty..."

"Oh, please..." You rolled your eyes and placed a hand on your hip. You kept the paper bag in your tote bag and strutted your way to the event area, offering your support with a smile as you wore your face mask and fake glasses. "I'm off...!"

"Good luck on the line~" Saki waved her hands as she saw you left and went to the staff area at the event venue with your camera in her hands.

While you're in the line, you couldn't help but to feel the same thrill you had felt back at the previous fan meetings. Your heart pounding heavily in your chest, as if it is threatening your rib cage to set your heart free from its cage. You felt your breath become shallow and light. You felt like you were asphyxiated due to your heart racing and pounding in your chest, almost making you unable to breathe. Oh, the excitement in you, you couldn't control nor bear it.

You peeked from the fans in front of you in line and you were so sure you were here just a few minutes ago. When in reality, you were there in the line for five minutes. 'This line is fast right now.' You thought. You couldn't help but to nervously gulp down and be excited to greet them.

You become paranoid that they might recognize that you brought the gloves your "admirer" gave you when you thought that they'll know how your skin felt after having a handshake with them. But you kept the gloves in your bag and sighed when you remembered that it was given by Izumi. You remembered applying a different hand lotion in the restroom a while ago and you know that Arashi can recognize you by your hands. You even bothered to spray a different perfume on you because Ritsu can recognize you by your scent. A sigh escaped your lips when you knew this all along. At least you came prepared 

"Scusami, ammiratore mio..." You sighed in Italian and noticed that you are ten fans away from being close to them. "T-This line is pretty fast right now..." Your eyes widen in shock and nervously gulp down. 'I can do this... I can do this...'

"Hm?" Ritsu raised an eyebrow and caught a scent and sniffed in the air without making it obvious. "Nacchan, am I smelling what you're sniffing?"

"W-What's with that all of the sudden, Ritsu?" Arashi sweatdropped at the vampire's behavior and looked at him with concern. "Did Koga rub his wolf-like behavior onto you?"

"Hmm..." Ritsu tried to recognize where the scent came from while he was distracted by his fans, giving them his signature on the merchandise and shaking hands with them. "Not only that... I sensed a familiar presence but it's quite faint."

'H-He really lives up to his family's traits...' She gave him a wry smile and a small wry chuckle. "I-Is that so...?"

The moment you faced Knights in front of their table, you greeted them but you changed the pitch of your voice to make sure your cover wasn't blown. "G-Good evening, everyone."

"Good evening to you too~" Arashi waved her hand as she greeted you. "Can I shake hands with you?" You extended your hand to offer a handshake with her and she accepted it. "Of course~" Just as her hand touched yours, she began to recognize whose hand she just had a handshake with.

'Eh...?' A faint look of shock was seen on her eyes but it was hidden from her sweet exterior. 'T-These hands... Didn't they belong to...?'

"Izumi," She turned to look at Izumi as her sweet voice was stern, making the latter turn his cold gaze at her. "Yes, Naru?"

"Mind giving her a handshake?" You nearly jolted in surprise at what Arashi said. Izumi looked at her and raised his brow, as if he's telling her "Naru, you seemed suspicious right now" and narrowed her gaze to the blonde night, to which she softly chuckled in response.

"Heh? Nacchan, aren't you being a little pushy towards Secchan now?" Ritsu snickered and looked at you as his eyes revealed that he had a clear interest in you. "Hey, you..." You looked at the vampire and replied, "Yes...?"

"Mind me giving you a hug? You seem pretty interesting~" You paled at his request. Oh, you know that deep inside that he wants to tease you. 'Was my disguise making me seem more obvious...?'

You timidly nodded. Ritsu left his seat and walked closer to you and hugged you tight yet firm. Just as he pulled you into an embrace, he noticed that you hesitated to hug him. Of course, he also noticed the scent of your perfume was masked behind by a different scent. He noticed the size of your body, it was obvious that it's almost like yours and he knew it every time he draped himself onto you almost every day.

'I knew it...' Ritsu smirked and let go of you. He grinned with his usual sleepy yet teasing grin and returned to his seat. "You know, you can be a good body pillow. You're cute~ I'll hug you again..." Ritsu leaned forward and reached his hands out to you to hug you again and that made you nervously gulp down.

"Arashi'll stop you~!" Arashi held out her hand to stop Ritsu, blocking the vampire from leaning closer to you. "I'll stop you." Ritsu gave the blonde a side eye and clicked his tongue in annoyance. "Heh? Why? She agreed to me hugging her."

"Well, "Why?" you ask? Even though she agreed to let you hug her, it doesn't mean you'll have to do it again. You can't cause trouble for her, Ritsu." Arashi opened her arms wide and grinned. "You can hug me. I'm comfortable enough to be hugged by anyone~" Ritsu only responded with a yawn and returned to his seat, making the blonde idol sigh. "...And he's yawning again."

"And, oh. By the way, you seemed pretty familiar." Arashi beamed, making the ginger's ears perk up, jumped out of his seat and leaned closer to you. "May we take a picture with you?"

"O-Of course..." You took out your phone and opened the camera app. When Izumi eyed that familiar phone case, he held out his hand and asked you, "Mind if I'll do the honors of taking a picture?" You didn't hesitate to nod and gave him your phone.

The cynical knight grinned and looked at his fellow unit members with pride and raised the phone in the air after changing it to selfie mode. "Hmph, I'll make sure to use my skills in this one."

"Now, now, Senior Sena..." Tsukasa sighed and posed for the camera. Izumi made sure to include everyone on the screen and smiled. Arashi beamed and spoke out, catching their attention. "Alright, say "Knights"." Just as everyone said the cue, Izumi tapped the button a few times, taking a few pictures and saving them into your phone's gallery.

Everyone in Knights noticed the phone charm. Leo, Arashi, and Ritsu stifled their snicker while Izumi blushed in realization. Izumi gulped down when he found out who this fan was. You on the other hand paled when you realized that you forgot to remove the phone case from your phone. Meanwhile, Tsukasa was oblivious as he didn't know why his seniors were acting like this.

Izumi looked at you with a smile and returned your phone. He noticed that your hands were trembling as you accepted it, making him pat your head, calming you down. You felt that it was the same way he patted your head last week, making you smile.

You didn't notice that Izumi leaned closer to you and whispered into your ear. You realized it when you caught a whiff of his scent, causing you to freeze in place as you felt his warm breath touching your ear.

"Thank you for your kind support, mio principessa."

As Izumi leaned away, a blush colored your cheeks. The red blush spread on your face, making the other members chuckle quietly in response.

"Y-You're welcome, Izumi..." For the first time, you said his name. Hearing you saying his name made a reaction from the whole unit. Ritsu looked at you with pure shock on his face, Arashi covered her mouth with her hands as she became teary eyed out of joy, Tsukasa smiled like it was normal, Leo seemed like he was itching to compose and write because his fountain of inspiration is overflowing, and Izumi's faint blush grew on his cheeks from pink to red.

'She said his name. That's progress...'/'She said my name... What a relief...'

You bowed as a sign of respect as you thanked them. You walked away from Knights' table and let out a sigh of relief as you exited the venue.

While they were left in shock, deep inside, they were cheering for you out of pride and happiness. Izumi on the other hand stood there, his brain trying to process what had just happened.

At Switch's table, a gaze fell onto the photographer near them. He noticed that something was quite odd about that photographer. He tugged the vest of the person on his right, trying to catch his attention.

"HiHi~? Master, that photographer's "color" is strange..." He whispered into the unit leader's ear, making him nod in agreement. "I agreE. I noticed that that photographer seemed differeNT, but the outfits were the samE. Were they an impostor or a doppelgangER?"

"Sora thinks that the photographer's color is the same but brighter, while the one before is duller from the original color." Sora explained to him, making him nod. The blonde magician continued, "And Sora noticed that the same dull color was at Knights' table. Sora thinks that there are two photographers now but they have different hues."

"WelL, should we find out the difference lateR?" Sora nodded at his question and remained seated on his seat.

After the event, you changed your clothes in the restroom once more, returning yourself to wear your most comfortable clothes for the mid-spring season. "Aw, I prefer that you'll wear that black long sleeve..." You sighed at Saki's complaints and shook your head while you adjusted the gloves on your hands. "Saki, you know I hate wearing dark colors in spring, you know?"

"I know... But it suits you well..." She sighed and chuckled in response as she took the paper bag from your hands and exited the restrooms.

You looked at Saki, whose clothes are far more different from yours and the ones you wore a while ago. You nodded in satisfaction and smirked. "You're smart in disguises, cuz. You're smart in your theatrical work."

Saki huffed in pride and smirked. "Well, I take pride in my skills in disguises and quick changes, you know?"

At the exit, you were met by a familiar redhead. His eccentric looks made you know that he is one of the Five Eccentrics of Yumenosaki Academy. His red hair, coloring like the sunset as twilight approaches with the sun setting in the horizon at summer, making his eyes seem like two golden suns. But, his honey golden irises stared at you like a cat gazing at the full moon in the dead of the night.

Natsume Sakasaki, leader of Switch. The youngest member of Five Eccentrics, accompanied by his junior, his apprentice, Sora Harukawa. You raised an eyebrow seeing these two familiar idols, waiting for you to show up. A soft smile was formed on your lips when you saw someone skipping his way towards you.

"HaHa~ Sis (Name), it's been a while since we last met." Sora skipped closer to you and smiled. 'This ball of sunshine...' "How are you?"

"I'm fine as always, Sora." You patted Sora's head and smiled. "Do you miss my headpats?"

"Sora always misses Sis (Name)'s hugs and headpats." Sora smiled and let you pat his head, making you smile as he saw your color brightened just by his smile alone.

Natsume looked at Sora and asked him, "Sora, what's their color noW?"

The blonde magician stared at you and Saki with his sapphire-like eyes. He paid attention to the changes between you and Saki's color and answered Natsume's question. "As Sora had guessed, their colors are the same. Sis (Name)'s color is dull while the color of her "doppelganger" is bright."

You jolted in shock. You nearly forgot that Sora is also there at the event. You groaned in annoyance out of realization. "Oh, I forgot this kid is there..." You hid behind Saki but the other couldn't help but to chuckle at your predicament.

"Well, our cover's blown by this kid's ability, huh?" Saki chuckled and patted your head, "There, there."

"Oh, so this is what you're hiding from us, huh, (Name)?" A familiar voice was heard as she strutted her way towards you. A blush was formed on your cheeks seeing a familiar face beside her. "A-Arashi... Why is he here?"

"Oh, me?" He placed his hands on his hips and stared at you with a snarky grin on his face. "Well, your cover was blown from your phone case, princess." Izumi placed a hand on his hip, revealing himself in his usual spring-summer outfit. You were practically blushing right now and you realized you weren't wearing your face mask. You covered your face with your hands in shame and embarrassment.

"I-I'm pretty sure that wasn't me." You denied it right away without making it obvious. Sora watched you like a child full of curiosity and wonder while observing your color. A smile was formed on the blonde magician's face and innocently beamed, "Sis (Name), your color changed! It's quite rare for your color to change~"

"What do you mean? No, wait. What was my color like right now?" You tilted your head in confusion and looked at him as you asked him.

"Sora can say your colors are mixed but it's all connected and related to love, of course." You and Saki's jaw dropped at Sora's words. "Love, you say?" Arashi looked at him in awe. Sora nodded at her curious question and grinned.

"Now that Sora knows what Sis (Name)'s color is like when she was in love, Sora can say the color." Sora walked closer and pointed to the aura he can only see but invisible to the others. "It's pink, like the cherry blossoms in spring. But, there's silver or gray spots like the falling snow in winter or like raindrops on rainy days. Sis (Name) is in love but she didn't want to say it because of Senior Sena."

"Me?!" Izumi looked at Sora in shock and cleared his throat. "Harukawa, can you keep your voice down? We're in a public area, you know?"

Saki's brain began to process the colors Sora just mentioned and connected it to related to her lessons in color symbolism and theories. "O-Oh..." 'Denial is a river in Egypt, indeed...'

"Sora knows but Sora couldn't help but to be curious about it because it's been a while since Sora last saw Sis (Name)'s color changed. Sis (Name) always have the same color around her, even after interacting with Master's big brothers." Sora explained and smiled towards you. "Sora will hug Sis (Name)~" Suddenly, Sora hugged you and gently squeezed you in his embrace. You couldn't help but to sigh and pat his head in return.

Saki moved out of the way, revealing you from behind you as she stepped aside like the traitor she is. "S-Saki...! Hide me..." She extended out her hand and stopped you from hiding behind her while Sora stopped you from walking closer to her. "Now, now, isn't this the right time to confess to your crush?"

"Crush?" Sora looked at Saki in confusion. "Does Sis (Name) have a crush?"

"Yes." Saki nods. "Remember the silver spots on her "color"?" She grinned and winked. "Guess who~"

You covered Sora's ears while your face flushed red in embarrassment. The blush reached your ears, making it clear that Sora said more than enough while Saki hinted more than enough than what you had expected. "Y-You know, Saki, let's just go back to the agency and pass my printed report to the boss..."

"Ah, yes, of course. We've lost track of time after chatting a lot." Saki pretended to be tired by stretching and walked ahead away from you. "I'll wait for you at the main entrance~"

"H-Hey, don't leave me here..." You held out your hand to reach her and sighed. Sora immediately let you go from his embrace and held your hand. "Sora wants to know if you really have changed because of Senior Sena. It's alright if Sis (Name) couldn't say it right now because she needs time, right?"

"I..." You were at a loss for words. You nodded at Sora's suggestion and patted his head. "If I am able to..."

"Then Sora will be here to cheer you on!" Sora beamed and smiled. His smile can be mistaken as the sun, since he is too bright to look at. "Sora will cast a magic spell to make you feel better and say your feelings from the bottom of your heart~!"

Unknown to the others, Izumi turned away to avoid looking at you and remained silent. He saw the gloves he gave to you, the one he sent to you with the plush. 'Aha... she's so cute...!' Izumi thought in his mind after he saw the blush on your face, how you averted your gaze from them, how you hid behind Saki because you are scared and shy towards the others, and the way you have the gifts he gave to you. That sight alone made him blush to the tip of his ears and his heart skipped multiple beats.

"Well, I must go. I don't want Saki to leave me behind after scurrying off..." You patted Sora's hand for the last time, making him let go of you and you walked away from the area. "See you next time, everyone~!" You waved your hand goodbye and formed a heart with your hands above your head. Arashi chuckled and waved back, Sora waved his hands in the air, and Natsume crossed his arms and smiled.

Izumi only covered his mouth with his hand, hiding his smile. He also wanted to say goodbye to you but before he could, you were gone. He held his sigh and furrowed his brows.

Sora also noticed this when Izumi's color changed. 'Senior Sena's color changed... Is Senior Sena sad...?'

W/N: I hate school. At least I have no problems since it's all over. I can't believe this took me nearly two months to finish this. I'm sorry. But thank @/aaaraas-things for the motivation to finish thisTT. Your words are highly appreciated. I have a one long wtiter's block when I wrote this so most parts are so random. Hehe Of course, I included Sora for the wingman gang as a gift for his birthday. A little belated but happy birthday to my sweet summer sunshine, my cute, little citrine ball, my favorite babie, Sora Harukawa. I included a few parts from the EnStage clips I found. If you know, you know. Expect me to disappear after two months lol

[ventiaoo]

HIIII....!!! Can I request Izumi being a total simp to FemS/o but he complete denies it. Thank uuuuuuu

You Are Such A Simp

Characters: Izumi Sena, Arashi Narukami, Leo Tsukinaga, Ritsu Sakuma and Tsukasa Suo.

(Warning): Izumi being a simp.

Whehehe I really love this idea, Izumi being such a simp then denying it because of how prideful he is. Anyway- sorry this took very long, school is stressing me out. College is right on the corner ya'know but yeah, Hope u enjoy this anon <33

The music within the practice room eventually stopped, as Leo clapped both his hands together, "Well done my gallant knights..!!" He exclaimed, grinning broadly.

Arashi perked her head to the side, a gleam of curiosity filling her eyes as she approached wee bit closer to Izumi who is apparently distracted by his phone, too preoccupied typing away on his phone, messaging who knows what, but Arashi had an impression of who this person might be.

"Who are you texting Izumi-chan?" The lady query whilst handling a cold bottle to the model

The aforementioned model gladly accepted the bottle but his eyes remain fixed on the phone within his grasp "I'm texting [N/N]-chan, making sure she won't do anything stupid that may possibly injure her, that idiot girl can be super reckless. Ugh, I just can't seem to take her out of head, especially if I know she's hanging out with another Unit that I am not well familiar of." He whispered the last part.

But this wasn't unheard to Arashi, then a frown loomed his confront. He clicked his tongue "tch, why are you even asking? mind your own business."

She tittered in exchange, undisturbed by the man with the silver hair's crude statements, "Oh my, you appear to be genuinely smitten with [Name]-chan, I never known you have this sidee, Izumi~ such an adorable pair you guys make." She singsong teasingly while applying a foundation across her cheek.

Similar to a beaming light, Izumi was quick to avert his eyes from the phone and jerked his head to Arashi, sporting the most shocked expression.

"Excuse me? Are you even hearing yourself right now? Naru-kun? Are you calling me a simp?" He scoffed in disbelief and vexation

"Well are you not? I am pretty sure you're absolutely infatuated over [Name]-chan with how you continually mentioning her, daydreaming about her. And let us not forget how you gaze at her with hearts popping out of your eyes like a love-sick puppy." Arashi closed-eye smile, furthermore teasing the male model

She chuckles once she takes notice Izumi's dumbstruck expression and remarks, "There's absolutely no reason to be bashful, Izumi-chan. It's likely to occur for a lover to get completely enamored over his girlfriend."

Tsukasa merely nodded his head in agreement after listening the entire exchange between his seniors. "I agree with Narukami-senpai, I may not be a specialist in the love department, but is it not customary for a partner to make their significant other feel special?" he inquired.

The red-haired male hummed, contemplating "Besides, it is one's knights responsibility to treat their beloved like a princess." Tsukasa established a strong, straight-faced statement, prompting Arashi softly chuckle at the junior's innocence, whereas Izumi was not having neither of them.

Izumi, who is egotistical, will never ever tolerate being lectured from someone who is younger than him.

"Ha-?! I am certainly not smitten over [N/N]-chan!" Izumi snaps back at Arashi, obstinately denying the obvious "And I do not need a lecture from a person who doesn't even have the experience having a troublesome lover to constantly have to take care of..!!" He added, confronting Tsukasa.

"Secchan is being in denial~" Ritsu chimed in, stretching's out his limbs and dragging out a sleepy yawn as he groggily opened his eyelids, "We all know you adooooreee [Name]-chan so much~ it's fairly evident you see, I say you are a huge simp."

Ritsu slyly smirked, aggravating the third year male even more

"I am not a SIMP."

"Whahahaha! Sena is a SIMP! S-I-M-P! SIMP..!!" The current king of the knights hurled out in laughter.

"I'm not! Say that again, you're dead." Izumi seethed, darkly glaring down at Leo who is still laughing uncontrollably, blissfully oblivious to the glare he was receiving from silver head "Now, now you two, let's not have a fight."

Arashi sweatdropped, gently tugging Izumi away from Ou-sama as possible she could, withTsukasa stood in front Leo to ensure Izumi won't pounce over the King.

"I'll prove it," Izumi spoke, his tone seeping with conviction. Grabbing the attention of everyone, including the eccentric leader "I'll prove that I am not simp, I prove it by denying all [N/N]'s pleads and request for the whole day. Just watch me, humph." Izumi puffed out his chest with internal pride swelling inside.

"Are you sure about this Izumi-chan?~"

"I am."

"Oh, are we initiating a bet? Then I'm in, the loser shall follow every orders of the winner." Ritsu quipped, a devious grin creeping onto his lips.

The enthusiasm in Leo's eyes shone as he proclaimed, "A wager? I'm also in..!! I want to participate, I would really like to join. Whehe I bet Sena would inevitably lose; be prepared to forfeit Sena since the King would win this thing! Whahahaha!"

The previously mentioned Sena simply scoffed with confidence at the declaration "Like hell I would be loosing." Tsukasa anxiously gulped

"I-I don't think this is a great Idea, it's quite a bit childish. Onee-sama won't be happy if she finds out about this..- E-eh?! O-Onee-sama, when did you get here?!" Tsukasa shrieked, genuinely flabbergasted by your sudden entrance.

You laughed "You seem to be surprise about by presence Tsukasa-kun, am I not welcome here?" You pouted, feigning hurt. Tsukasa hurriedly shook his head as a result.

"Of course not! You are more than welcome to come here whenever you please. I'm simply startled by your unexpected arrival. Speaking of which, if it's not too much to ask, when did you get here Onee-sama?"

You tilted your head to the side "Hm? Oh– I just arrived recently." You smiled, beaming.

"Anyway– Zumi-chan~ there you are, I've missed you so muchhhh…!!" Izumi let out a yelp as you leaped into his arms and then quickly wrapping your arms around his neck before snuggling adoringly against the crook of his neck.

Izumi cheeks reddened over what you did, nevertheless he was inwardly appreciating it. Of course, he wouldn't admit it to you out loud, even if you drag him to his death:

"Tsk, don't go jumping over me all of a sudden, I almost lost my balance you idiot." He snared, giving you a brief lecture.

Knowing how your lover behaves, you simply grinned in return. Even though he appears he doesn't seem to like your childishness, he absolutely loves it, especially when you show him how very much you care for him~ <33

"Sorry~ Sorry~ I'll be careful next time, I promise."

"You better be, what are you even doing here? I thought you are too busy tending the newbies?"

You blinked repeatedly before then nodding in confirmation "Oh, that? Yup! I am still pretty busy taking care of the new units actually." You replied, popping out the 'P'

"Though– I decided to visit you for a moment." Izumi triumphantly smirked at that, feeling very a tad bit smug about it, a cue of Arashi quietly snickering in the distance "And I actually came here to ask If I could borrow your sweater for tomorrow."

Borrow the what? Izumi swears he overheard some stifled chortles behind his back, recognizing the facial expression on his face, your smile begun to waver.

"Can I...? Or I can't.."

Stop pouting! Izumi mentally screamed, If there hadn't been any bet and he weren't so arrogant, Izumi would already have immediately responded 'yes' And if only he had been sincere enough to confess that he was madly in love with you.

Ugh, You simply had to ask at the worst possible time, do you?

Izumi batted an eyebrow "Don't you have your own sweater? Why do you have to use mine? What are you? A broke person who can't afford their own clothes?" He snarkily remarked, praying the back of his head you would drop this subject already.

Cause you are giving him the hardest time saying 'No' to you when you are imploring the cutest pleading expression. And the pout portraying your lips isn't helping him!

The pout deepened more, as you sent a half glared to your boyfriend "Am not, I have my own sweaters back at home of course, I just prefer your sweaters better because they are more soft than mine and they smelt like you." You explained in the most nonchalantly way.

Immediately sending Izumi to have a heart attack. Izumi was so deeply in love with you right now that he was required to employ all of his might to restrain himself from embracing you a tight hug and squeal how cute you are.

When Tsukasa spotted Ritsu sneer and cackle diabolically whilst also radiating a dark aura which thus warned of impending peril, he backed away from the languid self-proclaimed vampire.

Ritsu was aware that Izumi was already finding it challenging to say 'No' to his significant other, He simply needed to make light use of this predicament without needing to spend any efforts and energy.

He only needed to give Izumi a little prod here and there to be able to win the wager; afterwards, the silver head knight would be completely under his power.

"Hm? It seems like Secchan is a little reluctant to lend you his sweater [Name]-chan. If you would like, I can lend mind, it may not smell the same as Secchan, but is super-duper soft."

"Really? Mhm– I guess its not a bad idea, Sure! I'll borrow–" Before you could even the sentence, Izumi abruptly interrupts you before you can finish.

"You aren't borrowing anyone's sweater." Izumi sharply glared, "But you won't let me borrow yours, so why not use Ritsu-kun's instead?" You ask with a frown

Your boyfriend rolled his eyes and flicking your temple "I never said 'no' did I? You can borrow mine, just make sure you won't ruin it once you've returned it, got it?"

Your eyes lightened up "Really?! Ahaha~ My boyfriend is really the best! Can I borrow your shirt to? Pretty please…~" You fluttered your eyelashes, giving him the puppy eyes, Izumi can't say refuse to your puppy eyes.

Izumi slipped out an exasperation sigh, his eyebrow twitching from irritation "Aren't you just so demanding? How annoying~ fine, you can borrow it to. I better not see you tomorrow wearing someone's else clothing that isn't mine."

You enthusiastically nodded, Izumi's eyes fleetingly softened, his irises helding with pure adoration as he gaze at you nothing but fondess glinting on his matched blue eyes, a sweet smile briefly appeared on his lips before it quickly vanished.

Pressing a delicate kiss against his cheek, you smiled giggly "Thanks again izzun-chan~ bye-bye! I love you to the moon and back~" You exclaimed brightly, Izumi affectionately rolled his eyes

"Yeah, Yeah whatever, don't do anything stupid and make sure you return my stuff without a single scratch." Once you've finally left, Izumi huffs, the smile returning to his lips as he stared at the door where you had left.

The minute he turned around to face his fellow members of the unit, who were shooting him a knowing stare, his smile dissipated.

Izumi narrowed his eyes and subconsciously threatened his unit mates to speak up, however they didn't particularly express any apprehension, seemingly unfazed by his intimidation. After all, it is Izumi Sena, therefore why would they be scared?

Leo poked his tongue out and formed the Loser hand-sign while exclaiming, "Whahaha, Sena lost!!" Sena is such a loser, and a massive S-I-M-P.

Ritsu yawned, smirking playfully at the blushing Izumi Sena laid before them, "And thus it shows you lost the bet, which means you shall obey our commands throughout the day without hearing any grumbling from you, and ultimately this consistently shows, you are indeed a full-fledged simp." He all together clarified.

Arashi rested her cheeks on her palm, smiling amusingly "Fufu, you two are really such a cute couple."

"Izumi Sena, the ultimate SIMP, you must now submit to your king and diligently carry out my orders with pride Whahaha!" Leo laughed out loud "Hey, Sena, should I start calling you Sena the Simp from now on? Sena? Or should I say, Izzun-chan?" Leo persisted to hearty laugh, taking pleasure in the enraged grimace that covered Izumi's features.

Condescendingly, Izumi responded, "Say that again, and I'll kill you," although it appears that this actually motivated Leo to tease him further rather than convincing him to stop before it escalated into something more.

"Wait, Is it Zumi-chan? Or Izzun-chan? Ne, Sena the Simp, what does [Name]-chan calls you again?"

"Why you little…sh- that's it, you're dead."

"E-eh?! Violence is not a knight's approach, Sena-senpai! Stop at this at once, and Leader! quit behaving so immature, don't provoke him further, this is not how a king should act!"

"Oh my- Izumi-chan calm down!"

Ritsu yawned, casually witnessing the mayhem take place in front of him behind the scenes. He stood there staring into nothing before lying down and allowing the madness to unfold on its own.

"Good night..~"

tw❗: slight ooc ?

" IZUMI OH MY GOD! " you burst out laughing when you caught sight of the small boy, trying to wear lipstick.

" s-SHUT UP! get out of the room too! " he screams, his face a slight rosy red as he drops the lipstick and attempts to push the person older by two years from him out of the room.

oh how embarrassing those childhood memories were, and having you, a famous model and someone he painfully admires see him like that. you could've used those memories of him doing dumb things at that age for blackmail since those memories hunts him knowing, you witness some too.

" hmm? zumi-kun, there's flowers here for you. how cute there's a little letter here too- " before arashi could end her sentence the letter was snatched out of her hands by the grey haired boy with blue crystal eyes.

" tch don't touch things that aren't for you please and put those flowers somewhere, those flowers aren't just for me probably... " he mumbles the last part as he curiously inspects the letter before opening it and whispers whatever he sees.

" to little zum zum-kun hehe, what a stupid name indeed. ah how cute you were back then!! but now you're more handsome than cute nooo but I guess the handsome-ness makes up for it. oh my I'm talking too much waah. anyways you were amazing as always, you're even an outstanding idol now!! congrats and as always don't push yourself, we've never really talk that much anymore ever since we went our separate ways. sorry for leaving you like that back then and I in no ways and means deserve seeing and expecting our broken relationship to ever fix back. this is goodbye for now and ever haha, you're happy aren't you? bcs you hate me alot back then and you won't stop telling me that with every chance you get. Well, see ya around if ever... - bleh "

" huh senas crying!! " leo says as all heads in knights turn to face their fellow Knights mate.

" I'm not! shut up, where's the person who deliver this? did you see them naru? " izumi questions.

" um it was someone wearing a motorcycle helmet- " before she could finish her sentence, izumi stood up and rush out of the backstage room.

he ran outside and caught sight of a familiar hair colour person with a hat over their face, facing the sky, sitting on one of the many benches outside the place knights were performing in.

" y-you! l/n-senpai? " izumi calls out, getting a satisfied hum from the girl as she remove the hat from her face before smiling cheekily at the male.

" hahaha that's cute l/n-senpai, why not big sister? oh my were you crying? your eyes are puffy " you calmly pointed out leaving the boy to flustered and cover his face with his hands.

" I'll never call you that, its not fitting for you and shut up with me crying, I wasn't crying for you! " he replies.

" damn I see hahaha, I guess it really doesn't huh-c"

" look and listen here closely, I'll only say it once, l/n-senpai no y/n. I don't care about the past or what nonsense you did back then, I figured everything you did had meaning. you don't deserve blames or backlash, you're just trying to live life to the fullest too. you told me to live life the way I want so please don't leave me again, " he says in a quiet tone.

" little zum zum so adorable ahhh guess, the fashion show has to find another model and I'll be staying in Japan a little longer than I expected hehe, "

" don't call me that and don't skip work just to see me! "

[nonbayanary]

Teenage Mutant Mystic DEMONS AU (TMMDemons AU)

HIRUMA YOUICHI

[ Subject MAOU-001, The Leader, One of the Eldest Twins ]

Nonbinary mutant demon.

Pronouns: They/Them.

Since they're an orphan, the only name they have in the government records is "Youichi." They don't actually have a last name, so in the years when they suffered experimentation, one of the only things that kept them sane was the mental activity of making a surname for themself. And they chose: "Hiruma."

Scientists in the Deimon facility dubbed Hiruma as "Subject MAOU-001."

In this AU, Hiruma is more playful, as a result of growing up alongside Sena, Kurita, and Musashi as siblings. They are also more open to their siblings, but more wary of strangers. Hiruma becomes the voice of reason whenever their siblings meet someone new, as they caution the others to be wary and observant of new people. The four have already suffered through dehumanizing experimentation and human trafficking. It's better to play it safe, than to suffer the consequences of betrayal and ignorance.

Hiruma has long, sharp spikes on their shoulders and arms, and shorter spikes on their spine. The red markings on their arms are rectangular, almost shaped like pixels and guns.

The skin on their limbs, once pale when they were still human, is now a color so dark, that it's even blacker than night. Red markings shaped like diamonds strung together are what separate the color of Hiruma's limbs from the color of their torso. All the Maou trio have these specific features.

Hiruma's eyes glow red. They have markings of a large, upside-down cross on their chest. Their genitals are hidden within a slit in their crotch area (like turtle cloacas).

They have sharp claws. So sharp that they've accidentally popped or stabbed through objects on more than one occassion.

All of the Maou trio have tails. Hiruma has three red-and-gold tails that are all tipped with eyes. Hiruma uses these eyes as both weapons, and as video recorders. Which means they're recording everything around them at all times.

Hiruma's hair is literally made out of fire. It never dies out.

Musashi and Kurita have horns, while Hiruma doesn't. Hiruma's dead jealous; if they had horns, they would decorate their horns with jewelry. To compensate, Hiruma adorns Musashi's and Kurita's horns with jewelry during special days.

Hiruma is often clothed in red, as it is their favorite color.

When the kids were younger, Hiruma dubbed themself as "The Leader." They usually take charge, along with Musashi. Hiruma and Musashi both look after Kurita and Sena, the younger ones, together.

Hiruma is known by different names. In public, their siblings call them "Hiruma." Hiruma doesn't want strangers knowing their birth name.

When in the comfort of their home, their siblings call them, "Youichi," or "Ichii," when the others are feeling playful.

Doburoku calls them, "Yo-Yo," to Hiruma's chagrin. Although when the situation is serious, he calls them, "Youichi." When Hiruma has cooked up some trouble and Doburoku is pissed off, he calls his kids by their full names.

Of the four kids, Hiruma is one of the two eldest. (Musashi is the other eldest sibling).

Hiruma and Musashi were raised in different orphanages. The two know they were born on the same year, but don't know their own dates of birth.

A year after Doburoku adopted the kids, Kurita had once suggested jokingly that Hiruma and Musashi were "practically twins." At first, the two were both adamant that it was impossible. But then, they grew to love the idea of having a twinship.

Hence, when the others refer to the Musashi-Hiruma duo, they often refer to them as "the twins."

Hiruma likes watching yakuza movies, so the way they speak makes it sound like they're a criminal.

Hiruma's a gunsmith and a weaponsmith. At first, before they developed their mystic powers, they built guns as a hobby. They also have a fascination of guns because they fear for their family's safety.

Hiruma is the one who illegally earns money for the family. They earn even more than Doburoku, the only adult in the family. And to do that, Hiruma hacks ATM's and has several ATM cards connected to billionaires' accounts.

Which means Hiruma is literally stealing from billionaires to fund their family. They buy furniture for the home, raw materials for Musashi, games and anime merch for Sena, and ingredients and cooking utensils for Kurita.

Hiruma also hacks into government servers and CCTV systems for fun, and pirates films and shows for their family to watch. They also record everything, to their siblings' chagrin.

Hiruma was inspired by watching their favorite movie, Megamind. As such, Hiruma cares very much about "Presentation." So, when getting into fights, Hiruma loves to intimidate their enemies by showing the first level of what they call their "Disposal Unit." In battles, this is how Hiruma usually presents themself:

The first wave of Hiruma's Disposal Unit, or what they call, "Category 1," is only meant to incapacitate a few opponents.

"Category 2," or the second wave, is meant to incapacitate a several groups of opponents.

The third wave, or "Category 3," is meant to kill a few opponents.

"Category 4," is meant to massacre a wholeass army.

Currently, Hiruma is working on "Category 5," a nuclear bomb that will annihalate supernatural deities or even aliens. After all, Hiruma thinks, they can't be too lax on security. Better to be overprepared than to lose their family by being underprepared for a big crisis.

Hiruma also expands to making more complicated artillery. The type that starts out looking like normal objects, before turning into complex guns. For example, they build a briefcase that transforms into a machine gun, after watching this anime scene with Sena:

Hiruma makes an artillery-bag for all their family members, just as a failsafe. Whenever the four siblings go out, they always bring one of Hiruma's briefcases, just in case.

Inspired by watching Sena's gameplay, Hiruma loves building intimidating and powerful artillery like this:

Out of their four siblings, Hiruma has the messiest room. They can't be bothered to clean, not when their brain is fueling them ideas faster than they can make artillery.

Hiruma has their own workshop/laboratory, which is right beside their room. They call their lab, "My Evil Lair," because they're a dork who loves the villain aesthetic.

Hiruma also created and installed cameras around their home's area. They also constantly monitor the CCTV footage, and get notified by their systems immediately when something unusal is happening. Their family may live in a hermit's house in the middle of nowhere, but it's better to be safe than sorry.

Hiruma loves wearing dresses and skirts at home, because fuck gender norms. When they go out to roam the city, they prefer wearing pants, just in case they need to fight.

Hiruma's love for skirts and dresses influenced their siblings, and soon, the others started wearing them too. The Maou trio's favorite are mini-skirts and backless dresses, because it gives their tails or their wings free reign.

And of course, Hiruma loves make-up. They love putting on red and black eyeliner, and doing their eyebrows. Hiruma hates lip products because they often get lipstick on their fangs and teeth. It's pretty inconvenient for them.

Hiruma also loves painting the claws on their hands and feet red, though the paint often chips off due to Hiruma's constant work.

HIRUMA'S MYSTIC POWERS:

All three of the Maou trio can create energy constructs. Hiruma's energy constructs, however, are different from Kurita's and Musashi's own constructs.

Hiruma's mystic powers are all about creating red, semi-transparent constructs of guns and artillery, made out of their mystic energy. It looks like this:

The gun constructs they conjure vary in size, as it takes great mastery, concentration, and mystic energy to create constructs bigger than their own body.

Hiruma finds their mystic powers very convenient, despite the cost of being drained to exhaustion. They know how long projects can take, and how much determination it takes to finish one, so they like the speed with which their mystic guns appear.

After watching a few episodes of RWBY with Sena, Hiruma starts conjuring mystic nunchuck-guns for close combat after seeing this coolass scene:

When it comes to making technology, Hiruma has to collaborate with Musashi to make various rockets. The whole process takes time. So when Hiruma discovers that they can bend the physical manifestations of their mystic energy to make anything they desire, they make these for their convenience:

Hiruma loves making combo moves with their siblings. Sena's portals make Hiruma's artillery unpredictable, as Sena can ensure that Hiruma's energy construct bullets reach the enemy faster.

Musashi's transmutation constructs can prove as convenient surfaces to spawn Hiruma's own gun constructs.

Kurita's bodily energy construct is a gigantic moving warrior that Hiruma can propel in the air with their rocket constructs. Mystic energy makes anything possible.

Hiruma also loves being flashy, so that the enemies' eyes are on them. This ensures that their siblings are a little safer, as long as Hiruma keeps their opponents distracted. Thus, it's not uncommon to see Hiruma doing this:

Hiruma tries to act as if they're "emotionally unavailable" in public. And yet ironically, Hiruma's mystic energy is heavily influenced by their emotions. When they're feeling manic with energy, their mystic artillery is as lively as they are. But when Hiruma is truly scared, even when they try not to show it, their mystic artillery shows it by glitching, or sometimes even fizzling out into nothingness.

Hiruma is the second person to awaken their mystic powers, right after Kurita did. It was Hiruma's desire to protect their brothers that awakened their power.

「 physicality & appearance 」

HAIR: Blonde with muted pink streaks; lightly wavy, shoulder length.

EYES: Misty teal

HEIGHT: 5’7”

BUILD: Mesomorphic; muscular and athletic.

DISTINGUISHING MARKS:

A jagged scar that cuts over and around the outer edge of her right eye; the eye itself is unharmed.

A small cut to the left of cupid’s bow on her upper lip.

A tattoo of a cherry blossom branch wound around both biceps up to her shoulders.

COMMON ACCESSORIES:

Simple silver earrings, often asymmetrical

One large earring made to look like a cherry blossom branch with intact blooms; it stretches up the length of her right ear

A nose piercing, right side, silver.

「 personality & traits 」

A searing pride scorches the very ground she walks, confidence radiating from her like the heat that comes immediately after. She's fiery, vibrant and powerful. Though not quite a social butterfly, Verena is certainly rather outgoing and won't shy away from striking up or engaging in a conversation. Self-assured in her abilities, it can sometimes be hard for her to back down from a challenge - and the stubborn streak certainly doesn't help matters. Though often rather down to earth and with a colorful sense of humor, one would think that a switch was flipped with how quickly she can become serious should a given situation call for it.

There's a certain charm that she's adopted; she wields it like a weapon, one nearly as deadly as her fists. Her hospitality and kindness will last as long as one behaves the same in turn. The moment that changes, it's pure venom from then on.

「 hooks」

Surgical Precision: A skilled Doctor and surgeon with a degree, Verena has treated many patients over the years in hospitals and even out on the field of battle. Anyone currently or previously involved with the military, civilians, monks, or Black Talons could have been treated by her at one point or another.

Black Talons: A current Blacktalon assassin and agent, V has traveled all over Azeroth and beyond to gather, seek and locate various bits of information ranging from a simple overheard conversation to a relic or two. Those of a similar occupation, drakes or Dracthyr of the Black Dragonflight could easily recognize her for this.

Isn't it odd, though, that she's just a Blacktalon agent? One does not simply become an agent; Wrathion hires talent. Maybe there's more to this.

Red Crane, Jade Serpent: At every given opportunity, Verena will speak of her time in Pandaria - working, training, fighting, the whole package. Monks, or those who lived, worked, trained or fought on the Isle could certainly recognize her from there; she spent a number of years training under a pair of Pandaren monk masters.

Woven in the Mists: Perhaps it's just a rumor, or maybe there's more to it. Though a skilled combatant and combat medic in her own right, whispers constantly swirl around a more unique style that she employs; one that can be used to harm instead of heal. Maybe due to the ramifications of using this method of mistweaving, or something else entirely, there will occasionally be lightning-like teal patterns up and down her arms. This results from an excess of chi use.

Sting like a Killer Bee: Despite her calm disposition and training as a mistweaver, Verena is known for a rather aggressive and punishing fighting style. It would be best described as orthodox Muay Thai combined with Wing Chun and Taekwondo.

Neutral Party: Verena does not identify with the Alliance or the Horde, and simply chooses to remain neutral. Though once a firm and unwavering member of the Alliance, her time and training as a monk seems to have changed her perspective on the faction war.

「 other/ooc 」

FACE REFERENCE(S): Elizabeth Lail

VOICE REFERENCE(S): Morena Baccarin as Black Canary (JLU)

ALIGNMENT: Neutral

SERVER(S): Moon Guard (A), Wyrmrest Accord (H)

OTHER:

This character is completely neutral, and thus has a Horde and an Alliance counterpart.

I will not interact/roleplay with minors or anyone under the age of 18. 21+ preferred.

I will not write with godmodders (ex. never misses a hit and never gets hit, their character is so overpowered that they’re basically a god and can’t ever lose, etc).

🔥   ۫   ⊱   RED ALERT was the fourth Japanese EP of the Korean girl group, VENUS, released by ANGELICO Entertainment. It’s available digitally and physically and has FOUR tracks with “FIRE TRUCK” being its title track. VENUS promoted the album for four weeks during which they performed each track on the album at least once.

Notably, Baebi was missing from these promotions, allegedly still on hiatus. The girls were promoted heavily in Japan, attending various variety shows and music shows, filming numerous vlogs, and reality show content. They held three fan meetings in Japan as well as multiple concerts around the country.

🔥   ۫   ⊱   ERA HIGHLIGHTS!

This era was just full of problems. Literally, so many problems.

Notably their last release under Angelico, many believe this only happened to get them out of the public eye in Korea due to the whole "Baebi is missing" controversy.

Their fans in Japan cared that Yoonah was missing but pulsars  (japaneses constellations sub-fandom name) are mainly there for Aki and Jiah.

This album did well in Japan and even made some noise in Korea and America but that's just because it's VENUS. Twitter was pretty brutal to Firetruck and was trashing the producer left and right lol

Many fans speculate the songs used for the album were just laying around because this release was RUSHED. It was announced one week then out the next, like, the planning was very poor.

There was a lot of controversy with the physical albums themselves. Many fans complained that the quality was really poor and the photobooks were falling apart.

Oh...The Photobooks...

Slumber Party Version caused a lot of upset among fans due to how provocative the photos were. The girls were in lingerie and posing on beds like it was lot. It was clear who Angelico was trying to pander to and constellations DIDN'T like that.

"Our photobooks caused quite a stir," Jiah would say at a concert in Oaska, trying to keep the mood lighthearted. "I told them it wasn't a good idea. The thought of people having pictures of us like that doesn't make me happy." She would go on to say, causing more upset with fans.

Beach version was no better despite its cute cover photo. It was truly like getting a copy of sports illustrated.

Jinhwa was already disliked by constellations at this point but now they wanted his head on a stick like-

Yoonah wasn't brought up once by literally anyone. It would later be revealed that fans who attended the concerts and fan meetings were not allowed to ask about her and if they did they'd be removed from the venue.

Not suspicious at all.

The reality show "V4: Kyoto n' Tokyo" was very cute though! A lot of fans enjoyed watching the girls explore Japan. It was very sweet and light-hearted.

Sena vlogged the most out of the girls, keeping the group's Youtube alive with daily uploads.

Many fans wished this didn't happen, I'll be honest lmao it was very clear what was going on and they didn't appreciate the company doing this. They attempted to boycott but it did very little seeing it was a Japanese release, it really didn't matter if a constellation from Missouri wasn't buying the album.

Red alert is often written off by fans and many don't acknowledge its existence.

Sweet problems

A/n : Hello shio~✧!! Chu will always try to stay hydrated dw shio!!I hope this satisfy you chu really like the idea of this!! Eating sweets on a date with tsukasa !!?? Dream date!! Chu when!?

warning : none

-

today is a perfect day. the sun can be seen reflecting from the windows as the clouds covering it a bit, with warm smell of sweets can be smells from afar.

but what makes this day the most special and perfect is because this is the day he has been waiting for...

yes , today he's gonna go on a date with you.

sweets.. that's is one of the thing he loves but what else does he like..? yes, your sweet smile. Tsukasa was very mesmerised by you without realizing that the sweets had arrived.

You buy a [fav cake flavor] while he doesn't buy anything beacuse izumi punish him so he cant eat sweets for a week. "Tsukasa?", you call his name, he shake his head

"Sorry.. I was distracted", he gives an apology "Its okay", you answer him.

You turn your attention away from him, taking a look at your cake and take one Scoop of it. A smile start to apper in his face.. He really cant stop Smilling whenever he's around you

You saw him staring at your cake and suddenly you got and idea. You took the scoop of the cake and hold it in front of his face, "say ahh~ tsukasa".

Tsukasa face goes red when he realize whats happening "just one o-kay..! Or Maybe two..", he said while whispering at the last part.

He opens his mouth saying "ahh~" the spoon move into half of his mouth. He eat half of the cake on the spoon and stay silent after he taste it.

you were worried since he didnt said anything after that. You tried to call his name again.

Until... You see him taking half of the cake on the spoon you were holding.

"you must like it so much huh?" , you laugh. He doesnt respond but his face look so red that it match his hair.

When you were still laughing at him he take the spoon from you , taking a scoop of cake and put it in front of your mouth, you were confused by his action and casually stare at him.

"Im- returning the favor.. -!", he reply nervously, you cant help but to smile at his words and as you were about to eat the it -

"HEY!? WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?", a yell was heard outside of the cafe.

The person who was yelling was not one or other than izumi sena, Tsukasa get up from his seat and then approach izumi apologizing to him nonstop.

Of course izumi will be mad if he found out Tsukasa was at a cafe full of sweets when he was punished to not eat sweets for a week! But.. How does izumi found both of you here..?

Well~ the only thing you can do is stare them from afar and think maybe you should move your date plan to another cafe and not a sweets cafe next time.

Twisted Wonderland Star Wars AU

i've recently fallen into star wars and now its my new hyperfixation, and i love crossing over my various fandoms with each other so here's a twst x star wars au. but it's mainly a clone wars one with just crowley and yuu! its not a full blown au, just stuff i've been throwing around in my head

Dire Crowley: Jedi Master

crowley is crowley, the same as ever but he's a jedi master now

he's still the same personality-wise but here he's more of the "this guy does stupid shit and cares a lot about money and saving face, but also he's actually? kind of wise??" you know, the kind of guy who likes money but also actually gives out good life lessons and is also insufferable but loveable in that insufferable way

in the clone wars, he's given the 227th battalion (because you know. there's 22 guys in twst and 7 dorms) to lead, making him general crowley

Yuu Sena (pending last name): Padawan, Commander of the 227th

yuu is going to be crowley's padawan of course

exasperated with her master, but cares for him deeply ("if only your attention for credits extended to doing the flimsiwork, master...)

she loves the 227th very much, and does everything she can to protect and care for them. the clones insist that it should be the other way around, she's their commander after all

she may or may not have a crush on the clone captain

yuu is still in training, but she is quite good at soresu, which she prefers as her main lightsaber form. her goal in protecting her loved ones drive her to having something more defensive

she also has talent in force healing, making the 227th one of the battalions with low casualty rates

R3-D8: Yuu's Astromech Droid

i know theres already been an r3 unit in the clone wars but ssshh

r3 takes the place of grim here, but he doesn't have grim's personality

loyal and resourceful, yuu can count on him to help her pilot her ship. she's ok at flying, but struggles at times

the name and numbers are actually a nod to ramshackle having 3 students and being the 8th dorm. 3 students being that if yuu were to get isekai'ed, r3 would be isekai'd with her. including grim, you would get 3 students for ramshackle

[femme-malewife]

hey just had a question about your lipxlip tls. is the list in chronological order and if not what order should i read them in?

Hello anon!

To answer your question, yes! I did try to put all of the novels in chronological order, not just the LIPxLIP ones!

Mister Darling is about Sena and Mona's parents meeting and getting together, then it skips to Kono Sekai no Tanoshimikatata, which is where Aizou and Yujiro meet and becoming idols (it's also literally the exact same content as the movie of the same name which can be found on any 🏴‍☠️ website, the movie is only an hour long and the only difference between the novel and movie is a couple lines and some of the stuff in the novel is slightly out of order), then it goes to Romeo, where they are waiting for their debut song and it ends pretty much on the first day of their high school (even having a small cameo from Hiyori from the Romeo vomic about confusing city boys).

Then it goes to Nonfantasy (which is when Hiyori becomes their manager- someone else has it translated), then Heroine Development Plan (which takes place directly after Nonfan), then Fantasia LOVE&KISS, which I'm guessing takes place at the end of the year in autumn/winter, since it mentions they were idols for a year now and have a tour in spring??? While HeroineDev ends off on the New Year.

And then, Dolce is a group that canonically happens a few years after the idol series, and I even put those in order since Fuuma's novel seems to be the beginning of the Dolce career and trying to get recognized, while Sara's novel does also take place mostly around the same time period, the last couple chapters or last chapter has a two year timeskip, so technically, Sara's novel ends a few years after Fuuma's.

HOWEVER!!!

There is not much continuity in the novels, as all of them can be read on their own. Except, if you want to read Fantasia LOVE&KISS, I recommend reading Romeo first, solely because there's an important place and person to Aizou who makes a reappearance in FL&K, and you won't be able to fully appreciate the novel-only character without knowing some of the backstory that Romeo provided.

But other than that small thing, no! It doesn't actually matter what order you read them in, since all of them are very easy to piece together!

#sorry for the ramble!!! #tbh ive been kinda hoping someone would ask this one day but!! #anoasks

Chise: Okay. Everyone, I'll take it. Yes. Perfect.

Haruta: Chise-nii, show me.

Ryoga: You can take good pictures.

Haruta: Really. Sena-nii (?).

Setsuna: What, Haruta?

Haruta: You have an angry face.

Setsuna: I don't know.

Haruta: You're angry after all. What happened?

Mahiro: Hey, Chi-san. I want this photo too.

Kaoru: I want it too.

Haruta: Me too.

Chise: Of course. I'll send it to everyone. Hey, Litto look at it too.

Lihito: I'll see it later. It's rehearsal time(?).

Mahiro: (?). Let's go right away(?).

Haruta: Sena-nii, what made you angry?

Setsuna: I don't know.

Mahiro: Sena-san, I'm fine.

Haruta: Come on, something happened(?).

Ryoga: No, no.

Kaoru: Ah, Chise-san?

Lihito: Chise.

Chise: Go ahead. I will go as soon as I post this on SNS.

Lihito: Come soon.

---------------

Kaoru: It seems that time is pushing.

Haruta: How far is it to our stage?

Lihito: If you are curious, look at the (??).

Mahiro: It seems that it will take a while since there are quite a few adjustments from the next corner of this corner(?). Ryo-san, find where you can sit.

Ryoga: It's okay.

Mahiro: You can lean on me(?).

Ryoga: Thank you.

Haruta: (???).

Kaoru: Haruta, that step.

Haruta: Kao-nii and me, our part, first I.

Kaoru: Then I.

Haruta: And then the two of us together.

Kaoru: I shouldn't(?). I'm sorry, Yuki-kun.

Mahiro: Eh, Kaoru... Yuki-kun?

Kaoru: That... I'm sorry.

Setsuna: What's wrong now?

Mahiro: Nothing at all.

Ryoga: I heard it after a long time.

Haruta: I feel nostalgic.

Kaoru: I'm sorry. I surprised you.

Mahiro: Don't apologize, I didn't blame you. I was just a little surprised after a long time.

Haruta: That's right, sometimes I call you with your last name(?). Rather than just using a weird nickname like Lito-nii.

Lihito: Did you say something Chibi?

Haruta: Don't call me Chibi.

Ryoga: This guy is also calling me husband(?).

Lihito: It's easy to call. It is easy to identify because there is no other person. It's rational.

Haruta: This is it.

Mahiro: Lii-san call me by your nickname, not just SNS(?).

Lihito: If I feel like it.

Haruta: That kind of Hiro-nii is Mahiro(???). Chise-nii too. Oh? Where's Chise-nii.

Kaoru: (?).

Mahiro: He didn't come, what's wrong?

Ryoga: Time seems to be fine yet.

Lihito: I'll look for him(??).

-----------

Lihito: Chise.

Chise: I'm sorry. The rehearsal has already begun?

Lihito: You were watching SNS?

Chise: yhm

Lihito: I think 3 minutes is enough to post a photo. Show me the screen.

Chise: !

Lihito: Chise. You don't have to look. This are just a bad words, not, a false accusation(?).

Chise: However, it's true that I was absent from work. Even if I am told that I lack professionalism, it can not be helped.

Lihito: You were injured. The accident was vaguely hidden because of bad hearing(?). They don't know that(?). I don't deal with people who just say what they like by speculating.

Chise: But-

Lihito: I've been with you all the time. I know more than anyone that you were working hard to return(?). This person(?) or me, which word do you trust?

Chise: That is... But...

Lihito: You're still afraid to go to the scene.

Chise: Such a thing...

Lihito: Then why do you try to stay in the dressing room with a reason all the time(?)?

Chise: That is...

Lihito: Chise, listen calmly. I'm not angry. You don't have to overdo it. If you're scared, say you're scared. If you can't perform, refuse and take a rest.

Chise: I hate it! If I do that, I'll be told a lot again. Not just me, but everyone.

Lihito: Everyone doesn't care. Of course me too.

Chise: But I care(?). Recently, the scenes scheduled to appear have been cut or canceled. That's not the case with other ordinary talents in the same production. Only Anthos.

Lihito: You think too much.

Chise: Even today's dressing room is so small. The turn of the song program of the other day was suddenly cut off, and there are others(?).

Lihito: Assuming you were right. You don't have to worry about that today. This song is a production affiliate(?). They are aware of Chise's accident so the security level is also reinforced. You can ask the production to investigate the story of retirement after returning(?). If the harassment is true, it will deal with it. (?). Can you feel a little relieved with this?

Chise: Litto.

Lihito: Don't cry. Make-up will come off. Even though it was beautifully finished.

Chise: But-

Lihito: Nothing has happened that makes you cry(??).

Chise: Because... Because I was injured. I was told that a unit with members who have been closed for a long time is not suitable for the Music Awards. I thought I'll be abandoned by everyone in Anthos(?). That's why...

Lihito: That's not true.

Chise: But a lot of people are spitting out about me, I'm sure(?).

Lihito: Don't be hurt by the words of those who don't care for you. But if you can't help but get hurt, spit it out to me. Like now.

Chise: Litto.

Lihito: I know you're worried even if you say you don't care. So I'll listen as many times as you like. I'll be by your side no matter what, Chitose.

-------------

Chise: Litto, is it really okay? Everyone won't notice I was crying?

Lihito: It's okay because the makeup has been repaired properly. All you have to do is be proud.

Chise: All right.

X(?): (???).

Y(?): An idol who is really annoying and not famous was injured alone(?). Shark's security is new(??).

Chise: Litto, now-

X: It's an exaggeration(?).

Y: It will be coming as a guest today as well. What was it?

X: Anthos.

Y: Oh yeah, I don't know what the HANA Doll Project is. It's creepy, it's an affiliated company, so I should just take a quick look(?).

X: That's okay but that's it(?). Anyway, if they can get outstanding numbers like Loulou*di. Even if it's screwed in like that(?).

Y: You can say it's "fresh"(?).

X: It won't be a big deal today, and I think it's okay to turn the camera properly and then throw it into practice(?).

Y: Oi, if you do it too blatantly, you will get scolded from above.

X: However, it's a business to be pampered just by smiling(?).

Y: I wonder if you can put me in Anthos too(??).

Setsuna: You can't enter Anthos.

Lihito: Yashiro-san.

X: Ha, who is that?

Y: Idiot. This guy is from Anthos.

Setsuna: Hey, can I ask?

X: What is it?

Setsuna: Why you don't like Anthos? And why don't do your job properly? Something has to do with it(?). Why don't you say it properly(?)?

Y: Um. What I just said.

Setsuna: It is natural to do your best. It's not special because it's work. I also do it. Everyone does that too. But though why are you guys not doing your best?

X: That is...

Setsuna: You don't like anyone(?). You will not do your best(?).

Y: Um. That... Sorry. It's time to get back to work.

X: Excuse me.

Setsuna: They're gone. I wanted to know. Ah, Lihito, Chise.

Lihito: Thanks.

Setsuna: What are you doing here(?)? I also went to call Chise, because Lihito didn't come back either(?). Everyone is worried.

Chise: I'm sorry.

Setsuna: Chise, why are you apologizing?

Chise: I had you come all the way to call me. It's my fault.

Setsuna: It's not Chise's fault. I came because I wanted to.

Chise: Because you wanted?

Setsuna: Mahiro always cares if everyone is there. I'd rather Mahiro to smile(?). So come back soon.

Chise: Sena is strong. It was cool.

Lihito: I would have said the same thing a little later. Why do you laugh?

Chise: Litto is cute.

Lihito: It'll start soon(????).

Chise: I have to do my best too.

----------

Haruta: Come here, come here.

Mahiro: Lii-san, Chi-san.

Kaoru: Welcome back.

Ryoga: It was just in time. It's our turn now.

Haruta: Quick, both of you.

Lihito: Chise, let's go.

Osbert, 9th term male Urayan. Defender, uses a flail.

People who have something going on

Gaila, 10th term female Indoline. Healer, weapon undecided. One of Delta's off-seers along with Mae. Since she's on her last term, she wants to teach Mae as much as she can before her Homecoming. Thinking that a sidequest could end with Gaila's Homecoming but I'm not sure.

Rhian, 6th term female Gormotti. Healer, weapon undecided. Thea's lieutenant and closest friend. Has a big crush on Thea but never does anything because soldiers don't really know how love works.

Ulrich, 8th term male wind Blade. Attacker, weapon undecided. Gets into arguments with Thea often since while they both want to continue Cammuravi's legacy, they can't agree on how that should be done.

Also thinking about who would inherit Thea's class. Instantly ruled out Noah and Mio since they inherit more classes than everyone else (Noah gets 5, Mio gets 4, and everyone else gets 3). Thinking of ruling out Eunie too since she already inherits an Agnian Defender class. That leaves Lanz, Sena, and Taion. None of them inherit any Defender classes at all, but Lanz does start out as one. Taion is the one who inherits Cammuravi's class so there's something there. Sena and Cammuravi both seem to be fire blades so maybe she reminds Thea of Cammuravi or something? Class inheritor always seems to be the person who interacts with the hero the most even so I guess it really comes down to who would have an interesting dynamic with Thea.

[nazuna-tunnel-vision]

the way each character nicknames others is so interesting to see.

ritsu: takes the 1st syllable of the first name, extends it and adds -kun. (eg. maa-kun, haa-kun)

exceptions: secchan, ecchan, suuchan, nacchan (arashi didn't like "nakkun"), mikarin (let's face it mikarin is way cute)

sena:

if you're in his year and not close to him you get no respect and get called by last name with no honorifics. this changes when he becomes closer to you. then you get a cute nickname (nazunyan, kao-kun). exception: kuma-kun (he came up with kuma-kun by accident bc he didn't hear ritsu's full name. probably added the -kun bc he was more polite back then and maybe it stuck).

if you're his junior, you automatically get called (first or surname)-kun. whether he uses first or last name might depend on how close he is to your seniors. (tomoya-kun and hajime-kun vs harukawa-kun). exceptions: yuu-kun (yuu-kun), isara (you're in trickstar with yuu-kun), kasa-kun (you're in knights), naru-kun (knights), momo-kun (you're his club junior so, like kasa-kun, you get bullied and also a nickname), takamine (no idea, maybe he caught sena on a bad day), fushimi (maybe his association to eichi?)

arashi:

seniors: (last name)-senpai unless she's close to you or you're oshi-san

juniors and year mates: (first name)-chan. exceptions: tetora-kun (he doesn't like -chan)

leo: if he's going to change your name up, you have two options.

1) did he just check out of the conversation while you were introducing yourself, or did he give you a nickname right off the bat? (nazu, naru, suo)

2) pun. (tenshi, shiro, obaa-chan)

exceptions: kohaku-kun (you're suo's yuu-kun), nacchan, mama, rittsu, mittsu (mitsuru) bc mitsuru is a genius superstar and leo somehow remembered his name despite meeting only like once and them not even being in the same year. he actually remembered his whole name and "mittsu" is a deliberate nickname, unlike what happened with nazuna's "nazu".

either way, he's going to pronounce your name weird and it'll be in katakana.

nazuna: (occasionally shortened first name)-chin. unless he has reason to be wary of you, then like sena he'll use surname without honorifics

mikejimama: (first name)-san for literally everyone, whether it's your first meeting or you're close associates or friends. it's a nice middle ground between overstepping boundaries (jumping straight to first name) and maintaining distance (-san) and it makes me feel many things.

#enstars #rambles #long post #...again #enstars knights #nazuna #madara #suo doesnt get a feature here bc he's boring and is very polite and doesnt give any nicknames

[mychemicalficrecs]

Hi! Can you show recs of good (long!) podfics? so many links i try to find are broken but I love listening to them!

Hmmmmm, I definitely remember getting an ask like this before and answering it with a link to a podfic site that I later found out had a lot of broken links (sorry). I can't even find that post anymore (thanks tumblr).

So I did a little digging on ao3, and while I don't listen to podfic myself, these all look very promising! I only tested the first few download links because I didn't actually want to download all these, but I think the links should still work. Some of the streams might be broken now, but the downloads seem fine.

I didn't always include all parts of a series because some of the works seemed to focus on other band characters, so if you like a work, it might make sense to check out the original fic series and see if there's more you'd be interested in.

Happy listening!

Long Podfics

Nesty Verse, written by Bexless, cimorene:

Absence Sort of Does Make the Heart, by Cimorene by daniomalley, Bob/Ray, 3:15 hours, Explicit. Set in 2003 and 2004. Bob goes up to Jersey in the gap between tours to check out the scene. And also to check out this guy he met...

Worth It, by cimorene by daniomalley, Bob/Ray, 1:15 hours, NC17. "When I moved from my first apartment into the last one, I still had unpacked boxes lying around for a year afterwards. And I didn't have anybody staying around to help me unpack." (When your choice of free labor at short notice consists of high school kids, scene guys who may or may not have sucked you off at a recent party, or Gerard Way, that's understandable, thinks Bob.)

Conclusions by Bexless by rosekolodny, Frank/Gerard, 4:14 hours, Explicit. Set in 2006. "Smokes," Mikey reads aloud. "Likes dogs in case ever get one. Likes rock music. Likes loud rock music. Is interesting. Does not hog bathroom." He looks at Frank over the top of his glasses. "Dude, it's like you're meant to be."

[Podfic] Some Girls are Built for Speed by akamine_chan, dapatty, Frank/Gerard, 2:46 hours, Explicit. Roller derby AU. When Frank joins his best friend's roller derby team, he has no idea what he's in for. A story of crossdressing, lies, roller derby and love.

Podfic of Public Enemy by Tabula_x_rasa by Rhea314 (Rhea), Frank/Gerard, 2:18 hours, Explicit. In 1932, Gerard Way has been making a name for himself robbing banks up and down New Jersey. Frank Iero, analyst for J. Edgar Hoover's Division of Investigation, is determined to catch him.

[Podfic] Sideshow by dapatty, 2:01 hours, Teens And Up. It's Warped 2005. One of them is learning to be a front-man. One of them is learning to stay sober. Maybe they'll be friends. Stranger things have happened.

[Podfic] momentum keeps us going, gravity makes us strong by argentumlupine, Frank/Gerard, 2:31 hours, Explicit. The problem was that Gerard was a frankenstein. The Way family had five generations of frankensteins to their name and Gerard was the best and brightest of them. Frankensteins had that spark of genius which made them scientists and artists, and musicians and inventors. Frankensteins were also severely lacking in common sense, and Gerard was no exception to that particular characteristic.

Won't Know 'til You Begin by knight_tracer, Sena, Frank/Mikey, 2:45 hours, Explicit. In which Frank is an accidental pervert, Mikey sleeps with Fabio, Gerard is much too sincere when talking about pain sluts, Ray is terrible with women and great with guitars, and Otter's got really bad taste in music. Alternately, the one where Frank realizes he has a thing for Mikey, Mikey realizes he has a thing for guys, and they're both adorably stupid failboats.

[Podfic] Five times Gerard pays for it (and one time he doesn't) by takola, Frank/Gerard, 2-2.5 hours, Explicit. This story is a cliché rentboy fic wherein Gerard (the customer) falls for Frank (the service-provider) and can’t figure out how to go from paying-for-sex to ‘dating’ or if that’s even possible. Added to the mix are Gerard’s perpetually low self-esteem, Frank’s neuroses, and both boys’ epic communication-fails. Will these two ever manage to get out of their own way long enough to see that they’re meant for each other? With a little bit of help from a meddling younger brother, they just might.

[Podfic of] To Solve a Paradox [2018] by stoplightglow by sparklehag, Frank/Gerard, 3.5-4 hours, Mature. Ray shifts so he's no longer just a head hovering in the doorway. "Lily Dale? Brian, isn't that the place you were telling me about with all the psychics?" Frank's head snaps to stare at Brian incredulously. "With all the what?"

[Podfic] Crash by akamine_chan, dapatty, Frank/Mikey, 2:38 hours, Explicit. In a future version of Seattle, Frank Iero's a lot of things: bike messenger, cage fighter, sometimes thief, Ray Toro's roommate. Mikey Way's also a lot of things: record label owner, co-heir to his grandmother's fortune, younger brother. Neither are normal. But they don't know just how far each other's abnormalities go until Frank's past and a secret of Mikey's unexpectedly shove together. (Dark Angel AU.)

[Podfic of] Turn It Up by brooklinegirl by mistresscurvy, Frank/Jamia, 2:37 hours, Explicit. Asshole!Frank meets his match when he gets into a relationship with Asshole!Jamia. Frank's not one hundred percent sure why the relationship thing isn't freaking him out as much as it should - all he knows is that lately, the only girl he wants to put his dick in is Jamia. What's it going to take for these two to make it work? Apparently, a lot of dirty, dirty sex, and Jamia pushing every boundary Frank has. Oh, and a little help from his friends, of course. 

A story that proves that even assholes can fall in love - and how.

[Podfic of] Forever, Now by klb, Frank/Gerard, 9:18 hours, Teen And Up. Gerard and Mikey have lost their parents, but they've found Brian.
