ho hey guys! I’m gonna give lil rat boy here a break for a bit and will be over on this hoe. Just givin’ a heads up in the meantime!
𝕿𝖍𝖊𝖗𝖊 𝕴𝖘 𝕱𝖑𝖆𝖙𝖙𝖊𝖗𝖞 𝕴𝖓 𝕱𝖗𝖎𝖊𝖓𝖉𝖘𝖍𝖎𝖕 : ( Modern AU )
And shielded, his eyes did stay as his new roommate remains sprawled out for the world to see. Well, Shion certainly wasn’t expecting to see that from his company so soon, but, in a way, he supposes it’s good to get all this awkward tension out in the open. He’s certainly seen enough to consider the two more than just acquaintances. And, despite how odd this situation is, the paler is soon turning around, facing his problem head-on and not cowering away from a little…exposed skin.
“It doesn’t necessarily bother me, just surprised me, is all. Give a guy some warning next time, okay?” That seems like a simple enough request. Then, like a hurricane that gathers in the gulf and takes what territory it can conquer, rules are being dished out, and Shion’s barely able to process all of them. He hears things about parties and sex and being medicated and his palms can’t raise fast enough to deny his involvement with any of those things. What kind of person does this guy think he’s living with? Are these the sort of people Nezumi regularly interacts with?
But before Shion can retort, he’s letting out a sigh of relief as his roommate announces he’ll be dressing for their first meal together. Supposing that things can be discussed over later, Shion returns to his room to continue his emails in peace. It’s the sound of someone loudly rapping against the door that has him emerging once more, cash in hand as he turns the knob and greets the delivery person. Small talk is exchanged and so are pizzas, and soon Shion is closing the door and entering the kitchen, where once again, he’s completely shocked.
Not only is Nezumi dressed, but he’s made the table so it’s set properly with the real plates, rather than the paper ones Shion usually finds himself using due to their easy clean up. In fact, Shion doesn’t think he’s ever used the plates his mother bought for him before-or sat at the table that came with the place. He’s dumbfounded, wide-eyed as Nezumi holds out a chair for him-and he’s soon taking the seat, a crimson blush as bright as his own eyes adorning his cheekbones, while carefully setting the pizza on the table and waiting for Nezumi to join him before opening the box.
“Wow…” He’s really blown away, and has been since this afternoon. “This is all–I was expecting us to part ways for the rest of the night. But this is…nice, in a way. Thanks for setting the table.” This is a pleasant opportunity, albeit unexpected, for the two to get to know each other. All of a sudden, Shion realizes just how lonely he’s been lately-seeing as he doesn’t have many friends, and the few people he does interact with on a daily basis seem to not want to get too personal with him. Having someone to sit down with and talk to is…refreshing.
“So, I’ve been thinking about your rules.” Now is as good a time as any to discuss them. “And I don’t think I’ll have a problem with them, considering I haven’t been to a party since…I was twelve? I’m a virgin-never had a girlfriend and don’t really have anyone who could even potentially be one, so that shouldn’t be a problem.” Taking his first slice of his pizza and humming as gooey cheese leaves a trail between mouth and food, Shion thinks back to the earlier conversation. “I work during the day, and usually come home and sleep, or read, or browse around online in the evenings. I tend to keep to myself, so I think we’ll get along just fine.”
“As for rules of my own, just…keep the place clean, and don’t make a lot of noise when you get home? You said you work nights, right? What kind of place do you work at, Nezumi?”
“Pish-posh! You expect me to wander off and accept the fact that we’ll be that kind of neighbor who barely knows one another and just runs off to their room at any sight of the other?” Tonality is kept to its original setting as he aided the other to his seat. “I’m almost offended.” Yet crimson pigment dotting itself across features so CARELESSLY arranged his banter to be that of sarcasm --- elated he had even received such a BOLD reaction. “Usually ‘m not one for all the,” he gestured toward the table, “but a welcoming ceremony is all the more appreciated.”
Settling then into his own chair, Nezumi’s demeanor descends only slightly as the other went on about his own version of their rules. While listening, he helps himself to a slice and is all but neat with it. On the contrary, this was the first hot meal he’d had in ages. “Tch,” he mumbled to himself underneath his breath as he fiddled with the cheese roaming from its origin. Every now and then slate would flicker to meet the fair’s gaze to ensure he was, indeed, listening.
“Wait.” Setting his slice aside momentarily, a single brow inclined as he leaned forward. “You’re... how old? And never had sex? Never had a girlfriend? I-- I don’t know what kind of Nobel Peace Prize you’re trying to win but you’re certainly not doing yourself any favors.” Mockery, as always, an initial reaction.
“Ah-- eh, anyways,” the raven clears his throat, “don’t worry about the noise and cleanliness, that’s commonly, expected shit that comes out of this sort of thing.”
Tress oscillated as he shook his head, regard wavering as he finally were able to indulge in his dinner for the night. Tempted, to engulf everything in sight though forced himself AGAINST the urge --- presuming it would only lead to QUERY. The less everyone knew, the better. After all, if the other hadn’t already noticed by now just who Nezumi was or who Nezumi could be --- then there wasn’t any point to address it. However, the prior reference of OFFENSE left a sour twinge on features because of it.
“I work at a place that pays me enough to help with the bills, that’s all you need to know.”
“---what about you? Precious mommy and daddy letting you off the leash a little and now you’ve got yourself in a pickle? Looks don’t always get you places, y’know, and relying on others gets you no where. ‘M just here till I get back on my feet a bit so don’t get any ideas about anything permanent. I’ll even make sure to step out once they come around and check out the place. Let you live your little false dream.”
The Way You Said ‘I Love You’ #1
Surely, Shion’s cheeks must be as bright as a fresh summer strawberry; he can’t even seem to look at the one rested below until forced to by long, delicate fingers guiding him to meet sweet lips. He accepts the kiss wholeheartedly, the comforting words that follow met with a simple hum along with further burning of his cheekbones. He’s not proud of his quick, messy finish, but Nezumi sure seems pleased by it.
“Shut up,” Order is hushed, hand venturing lower once more to grip a member that must be aching for more. “or you’ll be finishing yourself.” Words are followed by a testing squeeze of flesh, confirming that, yes, he could continue, seeing as Nezumi was still worked up. The other’s teasing still in the back of his mind, Shion guaranteed to himself that he could have the queen of this city begging for more in his hands.
Although the smaller is dying to see just what Nezumi’s face looks like when he’s letting the pleasure take over, there’s a certain phrase he’s dying to hear just as much. The fact that it was ignored moments ago could be blamed on Shion’s phone, but a second try would be worth it. Shion gives his partner a few more seconds of paradise, his hand massaging in ways even he was unsure he was capable of, and then the sensation is taken away.
“Nezumi…” Eye meet, lips dangerously close but not giving satisfaction. “…Nezumi…” Thumb swirls around tip once more, further drawing out the agony. Free hand caresses cheek gently, face portraying just how much fun Shion is having with his little game.
“I love you, Nezumi.”
Words are sincere, but meant to rile, as actions won’t continue until phrase is returned. And Shion’s brows raise, testing, signaling that Nezumi should know just what he’s waiting for, and with obedience, comes reward.
A smirk dances across labium as command fell upon impaired ears. Whimsical, the strain his body CRINGED for. How enthralling of he to find such reaction within himself akin to the other — sparing even the slightest twinge on the most bare of TOUCH. Even the heat panting from his gaped mouth left the taller in AGONY.
Pitiful, how he’s fallen WHIM to your meager hand, boy. { Cautious --- oh he’s AMUSING himself with you. With every angle, pull of tug, even the look in his eye. You’re nothing more than a damn trinket added to his PRETTY shelf of toys. } Nezumi, at a loss.
“Tch---!!!” Unable to BARE the sight of him, his efforts to clamp ivory drapes SHUT and turn away was all he could manage. “Mmf---!!” Incisors sunk into bottom tier --- quiet, quiet, quiet! All he needed to do was CALM himself. How fucking impossible. Midst such an OBSCENE predicament --- why did love show thy face? Why did love have to stricken his very soul so? Love was shook him to the core. Yet, even as he is exposed and looked upon by one man audience, love SWELLS his coarse throat. Persistent bastard. “S-Shion.. hah, cut t-the shit....”
Gentle press is placed upon previously stained lips, Shion's head already falling into a pleasant lull as he prepares for bed. The sheets are warm, pillows soft, all forming into one glorious state of relaxation. But, the boy can't fall asleep until he's had his goodnight. "Sweet dreams, Nezumi." For Shion's dreams will certainly be that, sweet.
The clock barely struck midnight and already evidence had shown the lax in ruby gaze, hoarseness in baritones, and groggy composure. A kiss is STOLEN and silhouette now is framed beneath duvet. All too sudden the smaller had moved himself into Nezumi’s room every night. T’was not gradual, no word of warn. He weren’t even to question nor resist — Shion was an open book, a TERRIFYING story.
A tousle of hair indicates his SILENT return in gesture before alleviating himself from bedside. For the raven, his day was only beginning — one in absence of his fair. Scheduling was beginning to conflict and, despite the sheer in chest, he’s not to mention a LICK of it.
That’s just how TH E I R world worked.
“Now cracks a noble heart. Good-night, sweet prince;”
“—-and flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.”
&& footsteps ensued, he’s got work to do.
Intoxicating liquid swirls around against the glass as Shion’s arm drapes itself across the back of the sofa; his legs are draped across Nezumi’s, his hand coming up to run through dark tresses as cheeks burn as alcohol flows through his bloodstream. Shion isn’t much of a drinker, in fact, he doesn’t know if he’s ever been quite as drunk as he now. An adventure that’s never been explored before, the boy’s troubles are thrown away as complaints fall past chapped lips.
“–so I said, ‘No, you, sir, you need to calm down. I’m not the one making a–” A hiccup is accompanied by Shion’s story of how a man once tried to steal his grilled cheese from a restaurant. Whether or not this tale was true, well, the world may never know. “–a big scene here! C'mon, just hand over my sandwich and–”
Shion sighs, pale locks falling as his head tilts to rest against slender shoulder. He’s feeling a little more cuddly tonight, and although this could be blamed on the amount of intoxication in his system, the drinks have just made Shion all the more brave. He doesn’t try to limit his affection, and instead, completely changes the subject of this enthralling conversation.
“Nezumi, you ever seen a giraffe? I’m talking, like, a real, life, giraffe here. What the hell is up with those things, right?! They’ve got to be at least five hundred feet high, and their tongues?! What is with giraffe’s tongues? Oh, and chimpanzees? What is up with chimpanzees. And don’t get me started on ants, like, what is up with ants, amiright?”
Drunken rambles go on and on as fingers reach for discarded glass and Shion finishes off the rest of his beverage; he’s lost count of how many that makes tonight. “I’m…hot. Are you hot? When did our apartment get so hot?” All the while, body just huddles closer to Nezumi’s, completely contradicting his stupor. “Y'know what else is hot?” Head lifts slightly and eyebrows waggle suggestively, giving Nezumi an idea of the answer to his question. Then, lips move to other’s ear, voice a velvety smooth tone as he whispers.
“–Lava. Lava’s real hot.”
—————————————————————–
Enthusiasm’s weight interchanges between course of conversation. Growing heavier as it were FORCED yet features kept naught riddled beneath. Tiers ever-cast in their upturn — cheeks beginning to ACHE from the lack of time they’ve ever been cursed to remain upright for so long. However, Nezumi accepts the struggle with equanimity. Silken dactyls weaving their way through ebony tress — soothing, soothing, soothing.
Shoulders quake ever so slightly as the taller SPURTS out in laughter while the other exaggerates practically everything and anything that comes to his clouded mind. Yet, here — where limbs rest intertwined, incredibly reposed and the ticking on an endless clock seems to have fully dissipated — is a WARMTH that dallies upon him that he’s quite not too accustomed to. Here, is where he feels serene but habit dissuaded its offered NORMALCY, only partially.
Though, as space were eliminated and that fucking VOICE sang to his eardrums like a sweet, succulent siren — Nezumi’s intent on distance FAILED practically the instant it arose.
“Tch, lava eh?”
Crown pivots, labium pressing against the gentle arc of cheekbone just where blemished flesh begins its SPIRAL on velvet surface — a hum following his endeavor. Adjacent palm ascends to cusp the other side of ageless physiognomy as neck elongates ever so quaintly. Features sinking into DIVINE, colorless satin mane, proboscis inhaling the wholesome leftovers of fancy shampoo — how could humanity capture every entity of PRISTINE and embody it into one being?
“Your face,” he shudders, “might be even hotter than your petty lava.”
For Better, or for Worse.
And, from the moment those curtains opened, his eyes were fixed on her. He knew he wasn’t the only one in the room that felt this way, considering the roar erupted every time Eve so much as moved a finger. She had so many wrapped around her finger that for just a moment, Shion could feel a pang of jealousy hiding in his gut.
The music – oh, how luxurious was Eve’s voice, one that could send goosebumps up the spine of just about any passerby. Songbird Eve was, her notes as addictive as a fresh plate of cookies; and just as Shion was starting to get into the performance, crimson eyes met slate. A slideshow of emotions riddled upon the face that all eyes were upon, but all Shion can do is smile. His cover may be blown, but the show that’s unraveling before his very eyes makes it worth it. Unforgettable, was Eve, the two men adjacent from the new onlooker commenting on how they wish they could get on her list.
Eyes can’t seem to part, but Shion’s head tilts in confusion when he’s pointed to, leading every pair of eyes in the audience to turn his way. Despite the deep embarrassment that’s already covering his face, the boy allows himself to be whisked away by the bouncer, his heart pounding with every step he takes towards that stage. Luckily, once he’s actually on the small platform, it’s hard to see the faces of those whose purpose is to watch, although the crowd is now in eccentrics, hooting and hollering for the obviously innocent boy to be taught a lesson.
And taught, Shion is, by the star of the show, who certainly doesn’t hold back as her actions mimic the words spewing from rosy lips; Eve reeks of a combination of alcohol and perfume, her long nails scratching down the sides of Shion’s arms leave heavenly bumps in their wake. Hands of the audience member are mostly kept to himself unless lead otherwise, and while Shion immensely enjoys the private show he’s been given, he’s almost relieved when the music finally ends and curtains are closed as a passionate, lustful kiss is placed upon dry lips. It’s returned in full-force, Shion’s hand coming to rest on the back of Eve’s head as fingers lace through luxurious tresses. This will certainly be a night he will never forget.
The comments from other performers fall upon deaf ears as Eve speaks, her words slurred and movements sporadic. “Woah, woah. Careful.” Shion laughs, his arm coming around Eve’s waist as his other holds her hand and allows her to lead him to the dressing room. “How am I here? I took the bus.” The other’s intoxication is far too entertaining for Shion to not take advantage of; Eve is certainly more hands-on when she’s downed a few shots.
“I know you’re probably mad.” The two round a dark corner, passing a few more queens who whistle as they watch the two pass. “But I just…wanted to see what you do, that’s all. I bought a ticket for this show months ago. Nez–” A creature of habit, Shion is still getting used to calling his lover by her stage name. “–Eve, you were really incredible. Wow. I can see why you’re so popular.”
The door to the dressing room is surrounded by male fans, all dying to get even a glimpse of the star of the show, and once she arrives, they’re on her like bees on honey. Thankfully, the same bouncer from before is prepared, and nearly shoves Eve and Shion into the dressing room, while also returning the flowers Shion brought and had incidentally left at his seat in all the excitement, and closes the door, successfully fending off the wild fans.
Eve’s station is overflowing with cards, gifts, and bouquets so beautiful, they make Shion’s half-wilted flowers look like trash. He lets out a sigh as he helps Eve sit, his hand coming off her waist but the other holding tight to her hand. One of the bouquets is moved off the vanity so Shion can also sit, and bring Eve’s slender fingers to meet his lips. He’s blown away, flabbergasted that this gorgeous creature who’s so fawned over is his.
“I…got these for you.” Daisies are handed over now, albeit reluctantly. “But they’re nothing compared to these. Don’t worry, I’ll buy you a nicer bunch when I get paid on Friday.”
Thinned brows furrowed as staggered footing BETRAYED the taller, his ego dissipating with each step. Yet, despite the growing irritation, it brought compact hands to cradle DELICATE surfaces ---- and for that, he was grateful. All comments from their company fell on deaf ears, Nezumi was too FIXATED on the other to even pay attention, especially since its span was cut so short. Tiers divide then, readying a cocky reply yet silenced, was he, as a crowd swarmed them --- limbs extending to get even the slightest GLIMPSE of what she felt like. The ONLY touch he wanted to stay consistent was the one practically holding him up.
Once the roaring outside was diminished and everything had finally begun to stop spinning --- he could finally SETTLE upon him. Gunmetal blurred by his drunken gaze, lips upturn as he forced to sit and hand it taken by a kiss --- oh how he yearned to be the center of HIS world. Scarlet, akin to his lover’s eyes, blot upon features --- at this point he’s unable to submerge it --- && the inability drives him INSANE.
“So not only did you come to see me after a long day’s work, perpetually sabotaging your entire sleep schedule, to then surrounding yourself in an environment that would make anyone feel uncomfortable had they not been in it before... have you been in it before? I dunno --- anyways, to then spend money on me just to watch me get all pretty and sing a little song and give me these flowers? Chh.”
Kicking himself to his feet all too EAGERLY, the raven would continue to hold onto the fair’s palm while doing so, ensuring not to make a complete halfwit of himself. “These? These won’t do,” he gestures to the meaningless heap of appreciation spread throughout his station. With his freed hand he would carelessly shove the display to the floor, disconcerted of how the later janitors would handle the mess later on. “These?,” a hum would resonate as he leaned closer to inhale the CRISP scent of freshly severed stems, “perfect.” His murmur followed by a regard settled upon the smaller, unwavering and serene.
Withdrawing one of the several flowers provided, Nezumi tucks it behind his beloved’s ear before practically collapsing back in chair afterward. Reaching for a wipe he RIDS himself of her, just to ease the conflict between identities the other was seemingly having a laborious time with. “Shion,” a coo as fingers pull ebony tress into a tie, “you are my flower. A never changing... pure white... breathtaking.... A flower that blooms only for me.”
A pause ensues after his confession --- conscious of the content pertaining to kindhearted words but fancying a better time and placement, if at all. Charcoal iris averts then, busying himself with the POSH attire appointed to his performance. Nezumi’s not to take quite long as he changes in front of the other --- too high-strung on his stupor to give a DAMN.
Even he is to soil beneath the Devil’s drink and break his FOLLY facade.
“We should probably beat the crowd before they shut this place down for the night.” Making way toward a blended entrance, he pulls the latch leading to the back alley of the building. Allowing the other to pass first, he closes the door firmly behind himself, stumbling in the process. “Shion, walk close to me.” For both comfort and the need of physically stability, never intending to admit either.
“Eve.”
The name and voice struck a nerve ending so SENSITIVE to Nezumi he couldn’t help but react with a twitch of his head and flared nostrils. Palm extended to wrap around the other’s beside him, his grip unbearably tight.
“Eve, who’s the little boy? He’s not to join us, is he? Eve? Eve!”
“---heh.”
“I want my session Eve!!”
Gait increased, urging the smaller to do so as well. Once rounding the corner and out in the open sidewalk the raven STILL was not eased. “Let me buy you dinner,” he blurts out suddenly, tonality is kept low and husk. “Get whatever you want,” discarding of the other’s touch, he then fiddles around in pocket and offers him a taped wad of earnings collected from his prior show. “I’ll wait out here. There’s a Chinese place across the street, pizza place right behind you... and... yeah, just whatever you want. ‘M fine and don’t want anything so don’t worry about it. Like I said, I’ll be right here.”
Then, an immediate, perhaps too forth of an embrace instills itself against the fair, features pulled into breast plate --- Nezumi’s gaze kept on the wandering shadow behind the pair. Before a moments’ pause, he cusps gentle chin into coursed fingers, pivoting jaw just enough to catch labium ever so ardently.
“Go Shion.”
.....................................u got me babe chan ❤️

u kno wat i changed my mind fuk u
what if i proposed a trip to flavor to w n♥♥
*KICKS DOWN THE DOOR* LETS GET READY TO /PARTY/
look who finally decided to show upa fuckign littL E NU T
Perhaps it's just the position of the moon, but something has Shion feeling extra sensitive tonight. A pang of want, of jealousy, overcomes him and gives him the courage to enter Nezumi's room as soon as the raven is finished preparing his makeup and hair for another night of work. He isn't quite ready to let go of Nezumi and let Eve have her fun tonight. So, head rests against the back of a taller shoulder, his eyes closing in his bliss. "Sorry...just wanted five minutes before you leave."
Threshold creaks — age weighing upon its hinges so helplessly, Nezumi is not stir. Muscles relaxed as tiers divided to inhale partial breath, catching the slightest glimpse of RAW flora. Shion was so careless, heedless to his action. Always so bold yet BLIND to consequence. However DRAWN the performer may or may not have been, he too, is as powerless as rotted barrings.
“….”
Oh how his name would BORE itself into the very muscle of tongue. Again and again would it be the first thought to TAINT his mind, burn his abdomen, curse his eyes that were in effortless wander of such shiny, yet silken tress, and cross-fire any concentrated thought.
Shion.
“Y’know how troublesome five minutes can be? You could spend it reading a page or reheating a meal for yourself yet…”
—you’re here.
“…you fascinate yourself with my back, tch.”
Shifting, ever so consciously, the raven turns to face the other — noting the evident desperation of SLEEP cringing beneath youthful features. A hand is to soothe pallid strands before he etches ever so closer to spare a timely lapse of lip upon lip to his lover.
“Why deprive yourself when you can get a better view from the front?”
Baritones kept to a whisper, he continues attempting to lull the other.
“By the time you open your eyes, I’ll be here again. I’m always here, Shion.”
Woah, woah, woah kids, let’s just pump the breaks for a sec. Comparisons are p lame. I mean, what’s the point of individuality a RPer develops when portraying a character? That’s the whole fun business of this sort of ordeal, right? We’re not supposed to shit on one another, but bring each other up, especially if your fandom is incredibly small. I mean, with “one person fits one character’ mentality, pretty much every fandom/chara is doomed for. It’s OKAY for people to have different portrayals. It’s OKAY if not everyone is the same. It’s OKAY if you don’t meet someone else’s expectations. But what’s NOT OKAY is to be scrutinized, singled out, and demanded to CHANGE for YOUR personal needs/desires. Sometimes, others appreciate what you don’t --- just the nature of the beast, my friends, so please don’t ruin something that is so very good for someone else by attacking, presumed, insecurities. If this continues, I won’t be as kind. I WILL NOT tolerate bullshit bullying on either my or my partner’s end. Thank you. ----Quinn out.
For Better, or for Worse.
“Eve’s boyfriend?!” “You’re kidding! Why didn’t we hear about all this?” “You’re a lucky man, Shion. Eve’s our most popular host.” “Look at this flawless skin! I can see why Eve snatched you up…think she can learn to share?~”
A quiet roar hums among the members of the nearly-filled basement as Shion is bombarded by scantily-dressed, heavy-makeup wearing employees of the local drag queen paradise, a place that’s become quite popular as of late. Men and women alike come not only for the company these women provide, but also for the nightly performances that take place here. This is the first time Shion’s ever stepped foot in this facility, and although all the entertainers surrounding him are…tempting… the boy has his eyes set on the main performer tonight.
Nezumi, or rather, Eve, has never been all too fond of talking about work. Shion understands-Nezumi’s job pays practically all their bills, and he enjoys the chance to perform, but with the raven’s immense amount of talent comes a great deal of demand from customers; he’s on shift nearly every night, and sometimes doesn’t get home until the late hours of the morning. It’s because of their opposite work schedules that Shion and Nezumi haven’t had much time to themselves as of late, and although the paler usually stays up and waits for his other half to get home, tonight, he’s decided to take some initiative.
Curiosity plays a big part of his being here tonight, as well. Shion has seen the posters featuring Eve, and locals live to tell stories of the famous entertainer, but just what sort of show she puts on, Shion isn’t entirely sure. His presence in the audience is a secret, for Nezumi has always denied allowing Shion the chance to see Eve perform, not a fan of mixing personal affairs with those of business. Tickets to Wednesday night performances were incredibly hard to come by, but Shion reserved his nearly a month in advance, so here he stands.
Just to throw off the enemy, Shion had sent a few texts to Nezumi hours before, when he returned to the empty apartment after work. It was part of his daily routine to send a message to the other, but the notes on Wednesdays always wished good luck.
[To : His Majesty ♥ ] :: Sorry I missed you. Break a leg tonight. If you come home pretending you actually broke your leg again, I’m sleeping in my room tonight.
[To : His Majesty ♥ ] :: If I’m asleep by the time you get home, wake me up so I can at least eat dinner with you.
[To : His Majesty ♥ ] :: I love you, my asshole. ♥
An announcer appears on stage, instructing that it’s time for everyone to take their seats, for the show is about to begin. Wishing his enthusiastic company a polite farewell, Shion takes a seat on the edge of a middle aisle, surveying the rest of the crowd and noticing it largely consists of middle-aged men; the atmosphere in the theater is eccentric, especially so when the lights finally dim completely and low-quality spotlights are focused on the stage.
Gripping the cheap, yet thoughtful daisies he’s brought for the star of the show, Shion’s eyes widen as the curtain is pulled open. His wonder of just what Nezumi does for a living is finally about to be put to rest.
Lips mimicked the shade of rosé while ebony long passed malnourished yet fit shoulders. Wrist would FLICK as he made the last touch-up of his cheek contour. A chime catches his attention before setting his makeup brush back into the canister that held the whole set. Resisting the URGE tugging at the ends of tiers, his gaze averts whilst tress oscillates as head shakes --- euphoria OVERCOMING his usual stoic demeanor. Here, alone in the dressing room, he felt safe enough for a smile to cross him ever so briefly.

“Five minutes for curtain call!”
&& with the the warning, his neighboring actresses swarm the beauty room for one last check and drinks.
“Now I know you didn’t forget about me,” he jokingly shouts out to the shot girl and, of course, wasn’t ignored.
“Our precious star of the show?! How could i! Damn you always got your liner on point!”
Nezumi would only offer up his shot as false gratitude as he DOWNS his fourth for the night effortlessly.
“Two minutes ladies!!”
Kicking himself from his chair, stilettos clack against the floor with each step, others following behind. No longer is he known as Nezumi, not in this life, he is NOW recognized as Eve.
Dancers begin to rush to their positions while the intro music echoes throughout the house, Eve, center stage. Soon sight is blinded as draped curtains reveal her act. As eyes adjust to their new setting, it’s clear that there’s not an empty seat in the house that NIGHT. Some of the onlookers, the usuals, and others, newcomers. The difference between the two was that their normal casualties wouldn’t join in on song, only ADMIRE, while those who would dance freely with drinks in hand were the added income to a successful night.
Midst the crowd as the main event lends her vocals to the instrumental, her gaze takes notice of her most LOYAL customer by the bar in the back, who causes regard to waver almost all TOO quickly. Then, it is there that slate met crimson HIDDEN behind colorless tress, a face she could spot anywhere --- Shion? Eve could feel palpitations instantly increase all the while ensuring her current SHOCK does not disrupt her performance. Gesturing to the shot in a crowd member’s hand, she takes it and divulges in between verses.
Afterward, her attention solely settles upon the only person it could, her precious flower. Signalling to the bouncer closest to stage left, she points to the fair as a COY smirk dances across plumped labium.
Bringing the smaller to her PLAYGROUND, she’s not to look upon her audience any longer as tonality slurs with every note. With the power of suggestion --- actions would vulgarly match the lyrics spewing throughout the house. Treating thy lover as a focal point to every twist of hip, arch of spine, and bend of knees --- elation wouldn’t even begin to describe just how EMPOWERED she had felt with every whistle and “damn!” the crowd shrilled.
Soon, the song had ended and after her final words, a kiss were to bestow itself upon the boy --- drapes closing. The audience was still in an uproar and she had a hard time SEVERING herself from the other till laughter broke, caused by the comments her coworkers were making.
“Damn girl save some for the bedroom!” “Can I join?!” “Wooooo! It is hot in here!!”

“You’re here!! You’re really here! ...why the fuck are you here?” She bubbled out. “You look so fucking beautiful though. Your hair is so shiny. I never got how the hell you are able to do that. It pisses me off.”
“God, Shion... how are you here?”
