It's the premiere of Ennio's newest film. While Dionysus and Floris are present as usual, Yoichi unfortunately isn't. He had to decline, saying that appearing in public like that would be bad for his work. However, it's just at the end of the credits when the director receives a text.
[ Text ]; the hot sexy babe is needed in the projector room
Should they decide to do as the text requests, there will be a woman with long blond hair and an elegant dress waiting in the room. This lady has been present the entire premiere, and has even greeted Ennio at the start - using the name 'Ella'. A warm smile, a wave, and then - oh! Within the blink of an eye, Yoichi is standing there in his usual outfit. "Surprise! You did an awesome job with that one, hon."
β It's a shame, they think, the movie is a great success, and Yoichi isn't here to celebrate with them. They shook the hands of countless guests congratulating them on their work - and each time, Ennio had to redirect much of the praise towards the incredibly hardworking crew that made all of it possible.
And now that the credits are rolling and people have expressed their appreciation with their applause, the director's attention is grabbed by the buzzing in their pocket.
'Hot sexy babe' - there's only one person that calls him that. So, he excuses himself and heads to the projector room. Is he actually here?
The confusion fades in just a second - sure, he remembers greeting her, and he'd just assumed she was with someone from the production team - but it's only replaced by absolute, utter delight.
"You did make it after all!!" Without much thought, he practically flies into his arms and gives him a tight hug. "You liked it? Darling, nothing makes me happier." He doesn't mind having to float just so he could meet Yoichi eye to eye, grabbing his face and giving him a kiss right away. "Ah, if I had known before... I was sure there was something odd about the look in her eyes... you clever guy, you!" Lovingly gazing into his eyes and brushing a strand of hair from his face, they can't help but smile. "I missed you. I'm so glad you could make it."
