At least I’m not sick anymore, but I still have to apologise for the delay in my replies. Last week has been very stressful and I think next week is going to be as well, and it certainly doesn’t help that right now I have one muse that’s so strong it’s practically overpowering the rest. I’ll try to start getting replies out tomorrow and during next week, and again sorry for the wait.

“OOOOOOniiiiiichaaaaan!!!~”  It was like back at last year’s Halloween all over again…

Ruby clinging to her big brother figure. Whining. Getting dragged across the floor. Refusing to let go until the older male gives her exactly what she wants like the spoiled brat she is.

And that…is to let her see him wearing the cat ears. Like he had promised

“C’mon, just this once and I’ll never let you do it again! And maybe even a picture…or two?”

Usually she only acts like this when it’s just her and the model around, but after getting to know to rest of Izumi’s fellow unit members, she has become less and less shameful of her childish behavior around the presence of others.

“I’m sure the others would also love to see how cute you would look~”

Izumi clenched his teeth, a clearly annoyed expression on his face as he tried to move around, the weight of the girl latching on to his leg making it a very difficult task.

Yes he had promised. And yes he would do it. It was his lovable little sister after all, acting all childish and adorable and calling him oniichan. But did it had to be when the other Knights were around? Did this little cutie knew no shame?

She was even intending to keep photographic evidence! At least she hadn’t suggested a video with him seeing Nya

“Aka~zu~kin~!” he called out. “You’re being annoying!”

The annoyance showed in his voice. Not as much for her behavior for it was cute as a button even now. No, it was at his own weakness that will most likely make him accept the request sooner than later.

“I don’t want to. I’m not cute. Now get off.”

He tried to act tough, but he knew. Weak oniichan cannot escape cute little sister’s puppy eyes. 

Humming to himself as he sent off a rapid succession of texts, Arashi looked up from his work when Ruby’s whining filled the room. 

The sight that greeted him was both hilarious and adorable at the same time. Leaning forward in his seat, Arashi propped his head up with a hand and laughed.

“Ara~ Izumi-chan~ How can you deny such a cute little sister her request~?”

Actually, Arashi wasn’t even sure what Ruby was asking of Izumi. Something about making him look cute? Well, regardless, if it was something that Ruby was willing to act so childishly about over, Arashi was sure it would probably end up being even more amusing than the way she was clinging to Izumi’s leg currently.

“She’s acting all spoiled for her Onii-chan~ How can you say no to that~?”

 Laying on the floor comfortably on his stomach with music sheets scattered about, Leo was writing down the notes Naru had been humming. He childishly kicked his feet back and forth in the air to the rhythm. Arranging and rearranging the notes in his notebook, suddenly the tune became his own. 

 As he was about to move onto the next cadence, when an adorable whining caught his attention. It briefly reminded him of Ruka-tan (oh, how he missed his angelic little sister) when he looked up to see Sena’s ‘little sister’, Rubi~, clinging to his old unit mate’s leg. 

  “Me too, me too~ Wahahahaha☆ I’ll help ya, Rubi~”

  With a mischievous grin, he crawled over to where the two were and joined them by grabbing onto their victim’s free leg. He had no idea what was happening, but it looked fun. 

What was the purpose behind this sudden intrusion on his privacy? He had imagined that the distance between them all would have grown over the years, but within mere weeks, it felt as if none of them had ever left Yumenosaki in the first place. Even further, they had all decided that crashing in his apartment of all places was a good idea. Certainly it wasn’t lacking in space, but to host all of Knights plus extra was too much for any apartment room.

          “ My my, this certainly is an unexpected mess... ”

So occupied with the thought that he would have to make apology rounds to his neighbours for the noise was he that Tsukasa barely noticed the query placed by the girl he had been introduced to formerly as Izumi’s little sister -- how the two were actually related he did not dare ask (although if anything he might have a slight suspicion of a sister complex, a dangerous thought he didn’t dare voice).

          “ Ah, Leader, please do not throw yourself on the floor like that! I would rather not you damage it! Beside, what is this whole matter about Sena-senpai being cute? Such a thing sounds pretty disturbing, does it not? ”

Gosh, Arashi really needed to find friends who were nicer to him. They were all so mean to him! After how hard he worked to take care of them! Hmph!

To be fair, Izumi’s response was to be expected but even Tsukasa! How dare he imply that Arashi would do indecent things to his friends!

“Nyankoooo! What did I ever do to have such mean friendsss~?”

There was a faint meow from outside the room and Arashi sighed dramatically. Even his cat was sassing him.

Finally getting up from his bed, Arashi straightened his shirt, smoothing out the wrinkles from rolling around. Right well! Despite the negative responses and the lacking response from Ou-sama, Arashi would not be deterred.

This was going to be a group trip whether they wanted it or not.

Lucky for Arashi, he knew that they all lived in the University dorms and he had all their room numbers~ It was great making friends that could provide him with necessary information. A quick change of clothes, hair styling, light make-up, and a breakfast set out for Nyanko, and Arashi was out his door.

Aww, don’t be like that Izumi-chan!

And Tsukasa-chan! What kind of image do you have of Onee-chan! I would never!

Message sent, Arashi was all set to leave his condo but stopped in the stairway when he heard some of the other condo inhabitants talking about a young man defacing the walkway in front of the condo with something that looked vaguely like multicolored music notes.

Arashi could kiss his guardian angel at that moment as he grinned and rushed down the rest of the way to the ground floor. True to his neighbors words, there were different colored notes all over the place, Arashi stood in awe for a moment, looking around.

Oh, there was Ou-sama’s phone so where was… Arashi stooped to pick up the abandoned device, looking around before catching sight of the end of Leo’s signature jacket.

“Ou-sama! My landlord will complain if you keep this up!”

 More, more, more! The notes just continued to flowing from the universe to his mind, through his body and only exiting through the chalk connected to the ground. Faint silhouettes of people passed quickly, whispering noise that the composer couldn’t quite catch. The only thing he could hear was the song being created that moment and his own laughter as his scenery filled to the brim with music and colours.

 He could see the end, just a few more cadences and a crescendo. Finally, an adagio, a closing cadence and–

 “Finished! Wahahaha☆ Only a musical genius like me can create such a beautiful story of a model and his cat! Oh right, Naru~! Gotta reply to them~ It’d be bad if they thought I disappeared again.”

 Practically on all fours and clothes dusted in multicoloured chalk, he was about to crawl over to his phone when a familiar voice caught his attention. Blinking a few times in surprise, emerald eyes looked up to see the very person he was thinking of. Pretty much disregarding what his old friend was saying, Leo beamed up at him with a childish look.

 “Naru~! Did ya read my mind!? Or, maybe the aliens sent you here when they saw this song dedicated to you from space? How kind of them! I should repay them with an ‘Uchuu☆’!”

 “Oh! You got my phone~ Gimme gimme! I gotta reply! Hm~ ♪ By the way, what’re you doing here? Where’re you dragging me~?”

Hair done and clothes on, Izumi stared at his reflection on the big mirror inside the bathroom for a couple of seconds, turning his head from one side to the other as if to check everything was in order before giving himself a hum of approval. Now ready to go out, he took his wallet and keys from the table, a slender frame jacket and his new boots… wait something is missing… after patting the front and back of his jacket and pants he realized his phone was missing.

Rushing back, he reached for it before finally stepping out. As he closed the door behind him, carefully locking it up, he checked the couple of new messages that had popped up since he left it on the side.

Nothing interesting. Was it even worth replying to? He rolled his eyes to the side. It wa worth if only to complain, he decided as he typed, feet lightly taking him down the flight of stairs.

For once I’m with the shitty brat.

Not that I care of kuma-kun’s decency -if there’s any left- but you should do better than scrambling for weird pics is2g. It’s gross.

Done and sent. Today he was out for personal reasons -a little surprise visit to certain host place his objective for today- and he wouldn’t let his former unit-mates mess with his schedule. Or well, so he thought. It took him a while but there he was, finally at Soleil and all so close to his destination-

The loud voice of the King was his first warning, all body drawing back as if to escape from the sight of Naru-chan. But it might be too late In fact it was too late. He just wanted to meet his boyfriend was that such a bad thing?

Rudeness always coming easily to Tsukasa even if he himself were not aware of his own attitude, not for a moment did the youngest doubt that his senior had in fact been playing with the photo. After all, even Ritsu wouldn’t do something like that. He definitely wouldn’t... right? Surely he had enough self-preservation to not throw himself to the wolves in such a way.

No matter how you looked at it, the picture he had received was disturbing to Tsukasa who knew of Ritsu, but to any other observing eyes, it could only be described as “cute”. He was certain that his senior in a dress utilising his listless personality could be a dangerous weapon. Which was why he accused Arashi for manipulating the photo -- such seemed to be the best result, the one with least casualties. Who knew what kind of power Ritsu could have over his clientele if this was not a crude joke?

Appetite lost, he threw out the rest of his breakfast, brow still furrowed in thought. He would not let this bother him, he wouldn’t... so why did it keep weighing on his mind?

No, there was no helping it. He had homework to do, but instead of thinking about the Pythagorean theorem, he saw black and white frills, soft silk. A sigh left him as he closed his mathematics textbook, realising there was only one thing left to do. Visit his senior to verify whether or not this story was the truth. Not knowing he would see all of his senior unit mates safe for the perpetrator for this confusion within the next minutes, Tsukasa sent an answer.

Senpai, I expect further elaboration on this matter. I find it hard to believe Ritsu-senpai willingly put himself in such a compromising situation, but knowing him, at the same time I would not put it past him. I will be there in five minutes.

Ps. @sena-senpai I would really prefer if you stopped calling me a shitty brat, I am already an adult now you know.

Pen tapping against the side of his book, Shugarl found himself engrossed with the puzzle in front of him. Just a few more seconds… and… solved it. Pen no longer tapping against the sides, he started to jot down numbers in the squares of the page, completing the Sudoku puzzle. It wasn’t often when he could come across a Sudoku puzzle which proved some difficulty, but these puzzles served as an entertaining cool down for his brain after a long day of studying.

Puzzle complete with no errs in calculation. Excellent. Just the way he appreciated his Sudoku puzzles, completed in one sitting, in pen, with no mistakes.

Just as he’d finished, a voice broke through the silence, snapping him out of his thoughts. Turning to face the young male, an instinctual gut feeling warned Shugarl against something that he could not fathom. Unwilling to waste any further time questioning the feeling, a hand reached into his pocket to retrieve a small pocket-sized notebook. Flipping through pages with a flick of the thumb, he stopped on a page with the answer to his inquiry written on the page.

Transcribing the information to another page, he handed the sheet to the young male callously.

    “Here you can find a place to play chess with others.         I do not know whether the opponents will be worthy, but do check it out.”

Answer affirmative made Tsukasa’s eyes light up in excitement. So there was indeed a place he could indulge in his old hobby alongside people who shared his passion! However, soon another matter about the older male caught his attention as well. At first he hadn’t noticed as the directions being scribbled down were covering the text and picture on the front, but that was definitely a book on puzzles. Number puzzles originating from his homeland, sudoku, even.

In a heartbeat, the redhead’s interest was directed from the paper of directions to his requested place and to the male himself. Certainly he was aware that the number puzzles were growing to become ever more popular especially abroad, but he also knew that to solve one, a person had to have at least a sense of logical reasoning.

          “ Sudoku, hm? How nice. I usually only see people tackling them in the newspapers, but that book is of considerable size and judging by the creases, you’re quite far in. ”

Posing observations of his own, he made a suggestion that this male should possess quite considerable talent when it came to logical thinking. The part of him that was longing for a challenge was greatly hoping he was right.

          “ Could it be you indulge in other pursuits that are a challenge to the mind? If none of the opponents at the parlour are much worthy, I strongly suspect one fitting the description I am looking for is standing right before me. ”

          “ Ah, where are my manners. I am Tsukasa Suou. ”

To be honest, Miku kind of looked down on Wild Angel Entertainment. They just took the rejects and the strays of those wandering the entertainment world, while BIGDREAMS only accepted the best of the best. A competition between them? What a laugh.

So, she was determined not to let one of their so-called idols beat her - if Miku lost to them, wouldn’t she be less than trash? Friendly contests weren’t a familiar concept to her. If Miku had to be in this competition, she would do it wholeheartedly. Performing was the only place she got this serious.

Of course, she wouldn’t make the mistake of underestimating her opponent. That Tsukasa guy… maybe he had some kind of trick up his sleeve. Even if he didn’t, it was better safe than sorry. She should be cautious.

Miku was at an advantage, though. She wasn’t sure whether they were doing a livestream or a normal video, but either way, she was used to cameras. Hopefully, the unfamiliar setting would fluster the other idol.

She was thrown out of her thoughts by a knock on the door and a call of her name. Miku shot up from her chair, and, after a quick tidy-up of her hair, opened the door.  Her smile dissipated when she saw who it was.

“Tsukasa Suou, right?” Miku asked, switching into serious mode. “What are you here for? Recording won’t start for two hours.”

As a newcomer to the city, there was little way for Tsukasa to know how the two idol agencies of Bellevue viewed one another -- he was however not naïve and gullible enough to believe the bond they shared with one another was a straight one without any knots. As a person who had been in the entertainment industry for three years now, he knew of the rivalry, of the prejudices, of the scorn shared amongst idols.

Especially a big name agency like BIGDREAMS he could not possibly imagine to be without prejudice. It was on purpose that Tsukasa had decided to accept the offer from Wild Angel even though the mere name Yumenosaki could probably get him into far more experienced agencies. But Tsukasa did not want to rest on the success of the name -- no, he wished to rise to power by his own skills. Putting on a professional smile, he greeted the younger idol.

          “ Yes, that is indeed my name. And I am well aware that I am too early to even have a reasonable excuse such as not wishing to be tardy. However, I must admit that I had assumed you too would already be prepared, Hatsune-san. ”

Remark perhaps a bit too cocky, Tsukasa let his arms cross above his chest, not taking a word back. A battle was, after all, a battle.

          “ I am not naïve enough to believe in bonding between rivalling idols before a performance, and thus is not my intention. I was simply doing some thinking. Is this whole event not far too in favour of BIGDREAMS? We are to compete on the battleground that is the stage, but under circumstances favourable to you, in surroundings familiar to you. I cannot help but reach the conclusion that I am merely being used as a stepping stone to promote you. ”

“What’s this~?”

Arashi sat up in his bed, Nyanko protesting the sudden movement by batting at Arashi’s exposed feet before jumping from the bed to leave the room. The model himself was too distracted by what he had seen on his phone to spare his cat an apology. He’d just give her an extra treat later to make up for it.

Pulling up his messenger app, he was quick to make a new group chat.

“Izumi-chan…and Tsukasa-chan… and Ou-sama… there.”

Humming an old song to himself, he copied the link to the picture he had seen to the chat.

To: Izumi-chan, Tsukasa-chan, Ou-sama From: Arashi

[photo link]

Have you seen this~~? Ritsu-chan is working at a maid cafe! We have to go visit~!

Arashi would of course give his friends a chance to respond but… regardless of what they said he would still end up dragging them with him to the cafe. Their cute Ritsu-chan was working at a maid cafe! Of course they had to visit him! And take lots of pictures!

 It was a new day with new inspirations overflowing like the rays of the morning sun. Leo had already found himself far from his dormitory and probably another part of the city where some condos were situated. The genius composer hadn’t a clue how he ended up there, but he did know that his notebook was already filled to the brim with all his new compositions.

 This couldn’t have happened at a worst time. He could hear it. A new melody being born! Oh wait. That was just his cell phone chiming, indicating the reception of a new message. In an instant, the scenery of Soleil Condo’s gate cleared up. Pouting from the lost spark, he pulled out the cell phone from the pockets of his iconic hooded jacket. 

 “What the heck!? I don’t remember joining this chat! It was the aliens, wasn’t it!? They’ve tapped into my phone and are sending texts ♪ What a step back from their usual ways of communication! Wahahaha ☆ …Huh?” 

 He caught a glimpse of the familiar names in the chat, his eyes widened at their sudden contact. There was something attached to the chat, but that didn’t interest Leo as a new melody started spinning out from just seeing names of his former Knights.

 “So, it’s just from Naru. Oh! A song for Naru! No! Nyanko! Yes! A cat and model sonata! I’m musical a genius~ ☆”

Tossing his phone aside, he replaced it with multi-coloured sidewalk chalk and started composing his next piece on the grounds of the condo complex.

 “~ ♪ ~ ♪ “

He had just came back from his early morning jog and had passed through the bath for a cold morning shower. With a towel hanging over his shoulders, preventing the drips of water of his hair from reaching his clothes, Izumi searched around for his hairdryer. A step forward and he stopped to the sight of a new notification on his phone. Weird.

Fingers holding the edge of the towel, he dried the stray drops of water that continued to roll down his face, a knee sinking on his bed as he reached over to his phone. His brows knitting in a conflicted expression at the unknown group chat, he sighed in slight annoyance. They haven’t been reunited for more than what, two weeks? and they were already messing up with him.

Reluctantly, he clicked on the link just to find something he would have rather never seen. He knew the other had some sort of part-time job, but since it seemed to be something… unusual, he had never asked. Honestly, he had never even wanted to know.

Gross.

Stop sending shitty stuff so early in the morning.

Also count me out of that. Like hell I’d go to a maid cafe.

Much better. With a slightly more satisfied gesture, izumi left the phone once more on the table, getting his hairdrier and moving over to the bathroom to get his hair done.

Still in the middle of breakfast, at first Tsukasa had ignored the buzz of his phone -- even if alone he could think of nothing more impolite than using a phone during a meal, and furthermore he enjoyed to be focused on his food rather than a screen. He was, after all, a great lover of anything culinary, even this bowl of simple muesli.

But when the noise sounded again, this time his curiosity was great enough to overpower even his sense of standards, and the young idol decided that peeking a glance could do no harm. Just a glance, he’d deal with whatever the person wanted from him after his meal.

Tsukasa had however never prepared himself for what he was to find on the screen of his mobile. Almost choking on his bite, he entered a coughing fit that brought tears to his eyes upon seeing the fellow Knight all dressed up. Literally. Getting his breathing at least somewhat under control again, he rapidly typed an answer down.

What on earth is this?! Narukami-senpai, I don’t know what app that is, but you should not misuse your friends for amusement! Even Ritsu-senpai must have a decency, you know?

scatteredxroses:

Ruby just so happens to be looking down on the screen of her smartphone, lightly smiling to herself as she reads through the text message that she had received from Izumi, telling her about some of his old friends coming together to bother him once again. But knowing the tsundere he is, she’s pretty sure he’s having a good time catching up with them.

Who’s doesn’t want to reunite with an old friend no matter how much they drive you crazy? Ruby was like that to Weiss after all~

She had also got the exact same news from Ritsu as well. ‘Knights’, huh? The young rose has heard alot about their adventures as idols. From what she had learned from the stories she had heard from those two, they don’t sound to be a chivalrous bunch despite their group name. But…They still sounded cool.

They’ve been through alot after all, and listening about how they have gotten over their struggles was like a story out of a book. Perhaps that’s what makes them seem like “knights”?

She wonders if she will have the opportunity to meet the rest of them someday?

The silver-eyed girl was just about to type in a reply when a male redhead had approached her. Asking her about some people. She already knew a person in mind for the first description, as for the second description, well…This guy’s face was enough to give the younger girl a hint. There is this one person who loves to collect pictures, and she was pretty sure she has seen this redhead’s face in one of them…Unless he’s some look-alike.

“I think…I may know exactly who’re looking for” She started. “Does the perpetually tired one always refers to himself as some old vampire, while the hard to approach one is a model who likes to collect pictures of other people?”

          “ Marvelous! ”

He could not help the outburst upon hearing the description adding up perfectly to the very two people he already had in mind. To think locating them would be so easy! He could even laugh: from the sound of it, even here they were causing trouble, were they not. In a sense it was nice to know that even after this time had passed, they were still the good old people he had acquainted himself with back at Yumenosaki.

          “ Fufu~ ♪ That is exactly the people I’m thinking of! Truly marvelous. I could never in my wildest dreams have hoped to meet someone as yourself who knows both of them, so quickly as well! I must thank you from the bottom of my heart, Miss. ”

As it was in his nature to be exaggeratedly polite (at least to the ones he deemed worthy of being polite to), Tsukasa let a hand rest upon his chest as he bowed his head in respect. Never let it be said that Tsukasa Suou did not know how to make an impression. He soon however let a hand run to his chin, thoughtful expression spreading on his visage. Hopefully his seniors hadn’t caused too much trouble in his absence or he might need to punish them...

          “ I can assure you that even though Ritsu-senpai claims to be of otherworldly origin, he is as human as you and I. Even I doubt it sometimes, but I think even he wants to rid himself of his lethargic behaviour. As for Izumi-senpai... ”

Brow furrowed at the information that he was apparently still taking pictures of people, presumably without their approval. He shook his head in disapproval before continuing.

          “ If he oversteps his bounds, just put him in his place. I know he can be creepy, but I don’t think he’s a bad guy. I would suggest either punching him or taking his camera from him.~ ♪ ”

@mathgeekshugarl

Walking around had not proved much help -- ever since the transfer student had graduated a year ago, Tsukasa had greatly lacked one thing in his life, and he had hoped to yet again pursue this pastime, but it appeared it might have been to no avail after all. Playing with Anzu had been fun -- teaching her and watching her improve had been one joy amongst many in his high school time, but somehow that was also the reason he didn’t simply try to educate anyone else after her disappearance. This was something special, something the two of them shared together. She did so much for him, for all of them, and in return Tsukasa would introduce her bit by bit to the world he found intriguing.

But now was the time to yet again pursue old hobbies. And he would play even if he had to stop a stranger to ask for directions.

          “ Pardon me. You wouldn’t happen to know if this city has a chess parlour, would you? It has been a while since I’ve had a worthy opponent. ”

Never in his life had the young master of the Suou family lacked anything when it came to his palette in clothing. Always refined, always possessing an outfit for the occasion, and if he didn’t he darned sure would get his hands on one. Today was no special occasion, but certainly Tsukasa could go shopping as he pleased without having a reason, could he not?

Despite living on his own now, Tsukasa still received a more than favourable allowance from home -- furthermore, it was not a lie to say he had been quite well off as an idol, belonging to the popular unit Knights. Some might say he should learn how to earn and manage his own money, but the young master still possessed a very skewed view of economics. He would probably self-destruct if he had to manage himself.

          “ Let’s see... I do need a new coat. It is the season after all, and I would rather avoid being tied to bed feeling miserable. No, I do not have the time to remain idle either. However, I am not certain this panda inspired jacket is entirely my style. ”

@stultxneko

Oakville Academy carried an entirely different feeling to it than the rush at its name brother, the University. Ever interested in his opportunities, he had paid the establishment a visit, but as expected, it seemed pointless to continue on a high school level with so little time to spare. Beside, Yumenosaki had already paid him their graces as a fully fledged adult member of society, and thus this had turned more into an outing to get acquainted with the area and the people who would soon become his classmates.

One could easily wonder how a person as himself attending school regularly could so leisurely wander about grounds on another campus, but it was already under special circumstances he attended lessons, and thus missing a few would do no harm. He was being quite rebellious, was he not? A low chuckle emitted at the thought.

          “ Now, I wonder if I can find the good people who will graduate this year. Such a starting point seems the most profitable opportunity. ~ ♪ Pardon me! Are you perhaps a student of this academy? ”

@freelytommorow​

Already far too used to collide with other idols on stage, it was not too overwhelming a thought to do battle against a fellow agency of Bellevue. Battle might be saying too much, but when two rivalling idols were performing on stage together, it was only natural that both fought over the acceptance and adoration of the audience.  Admittedly when he had heard the request, Tsukasa had been curious as to how it was going to work -- not only had he never before performed alongside a female idol (surely there had to be something with the different pitch of voices and many such things that had to be considered), but this girl’s forte was not on a big stage with hundreds of eyes lingering directly upon the self.

He had to partake in an internet recording of everything.

Wandering the hallways of his rival agency, lilac eyes scanned the doors, and locating one particular name, he gave a light knock calling out to whoever may reside within.

         “ Hatsune-san? Hatsune Miku-san of BIGDREAMS? ”

[nobiliseques-blog]

@mismatcheddoll

          “ Hmm... ”

Thoughtful hum emitted from fair lips as Tsukasa’s eyes rested upon the wide selection before him. Sea-salt, miso, duck, pork, even bacon. The choices truly were endless were they not? But how exactly was one to find one’s way around such a labyrinth? Commoners truly were amazing to be able to maneuver it with such ease.

Spotting a presence out of the corner of his eye, Tsukasa waved a hand at the person, gaze still fixated at the myriad of instant noodle flavours that spread before him. He needed guidance on this matter.

          “ Pardon my summoning you so crudely, but you must help me understand the way of commoners. I cannot decide on what would be the best taste to indulge in for a light lunch. Which would you recommend? Or should I simply just buy one of each? ”

broken-puppeteer:

It had been a while since he’d been addressed as such. And the time when he was passing between classes was certainly not when he would have expected to have someone call out to him in such a manner.

The call had startled him, in fact, and Shu was tempted to just continue on his way and act as if he hadn’t heard the voice. But the voice at the edge of his mind that sounded faintly like Mademoiselle’s made him turn and look for the one that had identified him.

The boy that his gaze landed on was familiar. He had been a part of that group led by Tsukinaga. Those Knights of his.

“I have not held that title for quite a while now. Not since I graduated from Yumenosaki. You are…”

Shu had always been bad with remembering names. It was a bad habit of his to forget the names of those that held no pressing interest to him. He made more of an effort now to remember them, but as he hadn’t seen this particular person since high school…

“Apologies. You have remembered my name but I, unfortunately, am unable to return that favor.”

So he had been right after all -- not that he had doubted so, but had it turned out to be the wrong person, it would have been kind of embarrassing to the young idol. Even he could feel shame every once in a while.

A resigned chuckle, however, left him upon hearing not the response he had anticipated. Although he carried familiarity within the other’s mind, it was obvious that a personage could not be linked to the exterior.

          “ Fufu... I suppose such is my fate no matter where I go. Perhaps this way is better than “newbie” or “shitty brat”. I do not recall us having many interactions outside of the Star Festival, although I do believe you know more of my seniors. I am not surprised that a person such as yourself does not remember some inexperienced junior. ♪ ”

Tsukasa had never had many qualms about admitting his own inferiority compared to those around him of far more experience and finesse. After all, his admittance to Yumenosaki’s idol course had been the first time ever exposing himself to the world of entertainment. However, he did not believe himself to be useless despite this.

          “ Beside, I doubt there is any one of us who were still in first year who had not heard the rumours. I do say, it truly is a shame I never got to observe your performance during those days of grandeur. ”

          “ Ritsu-san? Ritsu-san, where are you? If this is a form of harassment through hide-and-seek I want no part of it. ”

Distressed voice called into the park, several heads turning at his words but none of them matching the black haired, red eyed, self-proclaimed vampire. He had received a text from his former senior telling him to come to a certain destination and thus, Tsukasa had immediately perceived the matter to be of importance. Surely he would not be summoned in such a way if it was not so? And yet, as he had arrived with no further explanation of a more precise meeting point, instead the redhead was stuck yelling at everyone and no one in particular.

Wait a moment, what was that? A low voice entered his ears lazily, barely caught amongst the chatter and ruckus of the park goers. But he had a very nasty feeling it belonged to the person he was looking for.

Peeking behind a bush, as anticipated he caught glimpse of a figure sprawled out on the grass, seemingly without a care in the world, and immediately Tsukasa’s brows furrowed.

          “ Ritsu-san, what are you doing?! You can’t just rest on the grass in such a manner! You will get dirty and catch a cold, you know? If you end up sick with the flu I shall not be the one to nurse you back to health! ”

According to the tweet that had just been posted, the youngest member from his old unit would be getting out of class around this time.

Arashi still had another day before he officially started classes. That morning he’d submitted the reviews and papers that the professors had emailed him to complete ahead of time so that he wouldn’t be behind in the material when he finally joined his classmates in the actual classrooms at Oakville University.

As he had yet to greet Tsukasa since arriving in Bellevue, Arashi figured that now was a good a time as any to find the younger boy. Perhaps he’d even ask Tsukasa to show him around campus while he was at it. And perhaps question him about his life now and whether or not he’d found someone he was interested in yet, because then Arashi would need to find this certain somebody and- 

Oh! Was that Tsukasa? The shade of red was remarkably close… but no, as soon as the student that had been blocking his view moved, Arashi slumped his shoulders with a pout. It hadn’t been his cute little Tsukasa-chan.

Settling back against the wall he’d been leaning against, Arashi pulled out a compact and brush to touch up his makeup. He’d been wandering around for a bit in the Bellevue Aquarium to pass time and had even got to chatting with some girls he had ran into there.

It had been quite a bit of fun, but!

Where was Tsukasa?

“Mou~ Tsukasa-chan is so mean to make ‘nee-chan wait this long for him to come out.”

With a calm chime, the last bell of the day rang classes to an end, and the youngest Knight could look forward to a day to himself. Although technically still at high school age, he had his graduation rushed with only a month’s time left of attending Yumenosaki, and thus he was probing the lessons at Oakville where he would effectively be attending come the start of the new school year. Naturally he could simply remain vacant in education until classes officially began, but to the boy who was used to constantly having intellectual endeavours to attend to, such a mere suggestion was unheard of.

Plus, he could never look his parents in the eye should he choose to remain idle and pursue neither education nor employment. He was the proud son of the Suou family first and foremost.

Still new to the city of Bellevue, he had already plans for today’s path and where it would take him -- get acquainted with his surroundings, that was his mission. Although he had no particular interest in the subject, even Tsukasa had to admit that he found fascination in underwater creatures, and thus from the very beginning the plan of at least one trip to the infamous aquarium had been planned. Truly he wished to go with someone else, but although he knew of his former seniors’ residence within the city, he felt he would bother them by selfishly asking them to come along. He was no child anymore after all. Perhaps if onee-sama had been present he might have coerced her into joining him for a ‘date’, but alas.

The buzz and the chatter however quickly caught his attention. Himself aside, an upcoming idol with little influence outside of Yumenosaki and the loyal fanbase of Knights, he had seniors who were well known amongst the populace, even from their time before attending the academy. Several voices gossiping about “a model”, “it’s really him, isn’t it?” caught his ears to perk and his interest to rise. Naturally it could have been anyone, but if his gut feeling was right, Tsukasa could think of at least two people.

Assumption not too far fetched (and following the trail of gossip naturally), soon lilac eyes rested upon a solemn figure, ears only barely catching the mutter that was meant to be heard only by the person himself.

          “ Narukami-senpa--- ”

Face lighting up into a beaming smile, Tsukasa almost called out the title he had addressed the ‘queen’ of Knights with for two years.

         “ I mean, Narukami-san. Truly, what a coincidence this encounter is! I would never imagine to receive the chance of yet again being reunited with everyone from the unit here of all places! I cannot call this an unwelcome sentiment though.~ ♪ ”

         “ Were you perhaps looking for me? ”
