SINCERELY - You'll Be Dancin Once Again And The Pain Will End
Consider this a filler before we get the goods.
โTHANK YOU ALL! ENJOY SUGURUโS PERFORMANCE! HAVE A GOOD NIGHT, GUYS!โ
Your voice rang out as you waved to the crowd, forcing energy into your limbs despite the way your chest heaved. Lights burned against your skin, sweat cooling too fast as you took a bow before slipping offstage.
The moment you were out of sight, everything hit. Crew members rushed in, hands gently but quickly removing the equipment strapped to you. Their voices blurred together, fading into background noise as your breathing grew uneven.
Your thoughts wandered. Shokoโs trainingโฆ it really paid off. The old you wouldโve collapsed alreadyโcrying, shaking, begging Rei for even a sip of water.
So why now think about this now? Why did your body feel like it was giving out? A hand rested on your shoulder, grounding but not enough. You looked up.
Suguru stood in front of you, half-ready for his own performance, wires and equipment hanging loose as staff worked around him. His usual calm expression was gone, replaced with something sharper, worry.
โHeyโฆ you with me?โ he asked, voice lower than usual.
โYeah, Iโmโโ You swallowed, pressing your fingers to your head. โIโm fine. Justโฆ a little lightheaded.โ
Suguru didnโt move away.
If anything, he stepped closer. โYou donโt look fine,โ he said quietly, eyes scanning your face. โSit down for a second.โ
โI said Iโm okayโโ The ground shifted. Your words cut off as your vision blurred, the bright lights smearing into streaks. A sharp ringing filled your ears.
โName?โ Suguruโs voice sharpened. โHey!? Look at me!?โ
You tried. You really did. But everything went black.
Your body collapsed, but Suguru caught you instantly, one arm wrapping tightly around your waist while the other supported your head.
โShit! hey, hey, stay with me!โ
Your name left his lips again, softer this time, almost like a plea. Panic erupted backstage.
โI need a medic!โ Suguru shouted, his usual composure completely gone. โRight now!โ He pulled you closer instinctively, as if holding you tighter would somehow keep you here.
โWhat happened?โ Satoru pushed through the crowd, his usual laid-back tone gone the second he saw you unconscious in Suguruโs arms.
โShe just dropped,โ Suguru said quickly, jaw tight. โShe said she was dizzy then she justโโ
For a split second, fear flickered across his face real, unfiltered.
โโฆShe just fainted.โ
Satoruโs expression darkened. โMove.โ
The medics rushed in with a gurney, taking over with urgency. Suguru hesitated, hands lingering like he didnโt want to let go.
โCareful,โ he muttered under his breath as they laid you down, like you could still hear him.
As they wheeled you away, Suguru took a step forward but Satoru stopped him, gripping his shoulder firmly.
Suguru looked at him, conflicted. โIโm not leaving her like this.โ
โYouโre not,โ Satoru replied, already serious again. โYouโre trusting me to handle it.โ
Before Suguru could argue, Satoru shoved a mic into his hand. โThe showโs still going,โ he added. โTheyโre waiting for you.โ
The distant roar of the crowd echoed from the stage. Suguru didnโt move. His eyes stayed locked on your disappearing figure.
โโฆTake care of her,โ he said finally, voice quieter than before. Satoruโs expression softened just slightly, a small smirk returning.
โI always do,โ he said. โRelax. My princess is in good hands.โ
He gave Suguru a light push toward the stage.โNow go on, pretty boy. Donโt keep them waiting.โ Suguru let out a breath half frustration, half resignation.
โโฆYeah. Yeah, I hear you.โ But as he walked toward the stage, his grip tightened around the mic. And for the first time that night his mind wasnโt on the performance. The second he stepped into the lights, the crowd erupted into deafening cheers.
