Anime: Idolish7

Requested by: @IdolLoversYola

(Y/n)'s POV

"Hey (Y/n), it's White Day today, isn't it?" Tsumugi asked.

"Yeah, why do you ask?"

"Do you think anyone will celebrate with you?"

"No, what about you? How about Gaku? He sure seems to like you."

"*blush* N-no way! A-and besides, the members of Idolish7 have asked me to hang out with them today."

"Then I'll ask him to take you out for dinner."

"What?!"

"Seeing as how you came asking to see me in the morning, I assumed that's what you wanted to discuss."

"T-then what about you?"

"Since Trigger's taking the day off, I don't have anything planned."

I noticed the upturning movement of her eyes as she trailed the shadow coming from behind my seat. Without so much as a warning, the mysterious person covered my eyes with their hands.

"Guess who."

"Tenn, I'll always recognise your voice."

"I'd expect nothing less from Trigger's assistant manager."

He moved his hands to rest on my shoulders. Gaku and Ryuu came around to sit in the two spare seats beside Tsumugi and I. I held back a smirk as Tsumugi subtly avoided Gaku's lingering gaze.

Ryuu seemed oblivious to the awkward tension, which had turned from a quiet simmer to a loud boil. Tenn wasn't quite as dense, instead massaging my shoulders to keep himself occupied as I leaned my head back to look at him.

"Want to go somewhere?" he asked.

"Are you asking me out on a date?"

"Sure, if that's what you want to call it."

"As if the thought didn't pass your mind."

"So? Your answer, ojou-chan?"

"*smiles* Okay, let's go."

"Ryuu, you're coming too."

"Eh?"

Tenn gave the brown-haired male no time to reply as he dragged the both of us out of the cafe, leaving Tsumugi behind with the leader of Trigger.

I bathed in the warm sunlight as the soft breeze kissed my skin and cooled my cheeks. Most of Tokyo's city-strolling citizens seemed to be couples on dates or families on a fun day out.

"Ryuu, don't bother those two for the time being. I'm pretty sure they're gonna have a serious conversation," exclaimed Tenn.

"About what?" Ryuu asked.

"Love, because it's White Day. If I remember correctly, Idolish7's manager did give Gaku chocolates on Valentine's Day..."

"But the chocolates were from an anonymous person."

"(Y/n) found out."

I gave the oblivious male a cheeky grin before patting his back like how one'd calm an ignorant child. He sighed, showing no signs of wanting to argue back.

"Well, (Y/n) and I are going to go now."

"Sure, have fun," Ryuu replied with a smile.

Tenn intertwined his fingers with mine as we headed to the city streets. Blushing at the thought of us dating, I immediately focused my attention elsewhere...somewhere where I'd feel as if I wasn't keeping Tenn away from his fans.

In truth, we had always felt more comfortable with each other than with anyone else. I needed him by my side, even if it was just his subtle presence and casual smile as he chatted nonchalantly with me.

Even if he wasn't ready to reveal to me his true self, I was fine if he just stayed by my side. Squeezing his hand, I looked at the ground as I thought. Tenn felt my worry before casting a gentle smile my way.

"(Y/n), where would you like to go?" he asked.

"There's a new dessert shop down this street. Tsumugi says it's really good."

"Okay, let's go there then."

I saw through the casual facade he put on, seeing the worry and concern in his eyes. Finally managing a smile, I pulled him along, undoubtedly diffusing his concern for my wellbeing.

Noticing how there were very few people inside, I hurriedly dragged him inside the cute little store. What a luxurious atmosphere it gave off...this...was eerily similar to...

"(Y/n), is that you?"

"Neesan..."

"What are you doing in my store?"

"I heard from a friend that this new place was good. I never expected you to be the owner."

"So? Who's this- Tenn!"

I immediately covered her mouth but she effortlessly twisted my arm back, sending a glare ferocious enough to make me shiver. Grateful that there weren't many people around, I stood in front of him, hoping desperate that she could not see through my mask.

Tenn unconsciously took my hand in his, seemingly worried about the relationship my older sister and I had. She noticed the fact that we seemed close before a vicious glint appeared in her hazel-coloured eyes.

"Why are you with Trigger's centre?" she asked in a hushed yet menacing voice.

"Why can't I be?"

"You don't deserve him."

"I could say the same about you."

"Why are you always taking everything away from me? Our parents always, always, favoured you over me and now what? You know I like him so you became Trigger's assistant manager to torture me?"

"No, you're wrong. Gaku, Ryuu and Tenn aren't tools. They're valuable friends, friends that I'd never give up on."

"You!"

I held back a gasp as she slapped me, her hand shaking from the anger taking over her mind. It had undeniably clouded her judgement yet I could not let her impulsive actions provoke me.

Refusing to let the pain show, I met her angered gaze with a resolved look in my eyes. However, before I had the chance to talk, Tenn stepped forward, shielding me from her uncontrollable anger.

"(Y/n) did nothing wrong. You're the one who accused her of using us without anything but your own biased assumptions to support your belief. Do you honestly think I'd just happily go to you after I've seen you treat (Y/n) like this?" Tenn asked, his hands shaking from holding back his anger.

"...do you love her?"

"Yes."

Tugging at my hand, I quickly followed him out of the shop. He stopped walking all of a sudden, making me bump into his back. My eyes widened as he turned around and brought his lips to mine.

He captured my lips in a gentle kiss, his hands pulling me in closer. Tears slid down my cheeks as he wrapped his arms around me in a warm embrace.

Unable to hold it in for any longer, I sobbed quietly as he stroked my hair and whispered soft words into my ear to calm me down.

"It's okay to cry, you don't have to hold back...I um got you a present," he exclaimed.

"A...present?"

"Yeah, because it's White Day. I made chocolates for you...although I'm not sure if they're good or not..."

"You made chocolates for me?"

That alone was enough to warm my heart through and through. He smiled kindly as he once again found my hand and led me to Trigger's dorms.

"I left them in the fridge because I was afraid that they'd melt."

"...aren't you curious?"

"About what?"

"My sister."

"I am but I won't ask because you wouldn't want me to. That's why I'll wait and I'll continue waiting for as long as I have to."

"Why?..."

"Because I love you."
