I laugh sheepishly at the small banter between the two, but my attention goes back to Ren when he speaks. "D-Different greeting?" I repeat back with a slight tilt of my head. My heart flutters a bit at his grin before I answer him. "S-Sure," I nod slightly, curious as to what type of greeting it could be. ~Erica

Ren is satisfied with your answer, a smile spreads across his face before he moves his hand to your cheek with an elegant movement. Carefully, as if your face were made of porcelain, he strokes your cheek and then rests his hand on it, pushing you a little forward so that you were bending over the table. 

Now he is the one who leans forward, his eyes closed and his lips meet your cheek and gives it a gentle kiss. Then he lets go and walks a step back, still grinning and giving you playful wink. 

The few girls, who are still standing behind you, are screaming excitedly. They said something like: “I want one too!”, “She’s so lucky!” or “I’m so jealous!”

I feel heat rise to my cheeks at his comment and the warmth of his hands. "Th-Thank you," I say shyly before Tokiya interrupts. "I-It's nice to see you again, Tokiya," I say as I hold my hand out to him too. It really feels like I'm in heaven, standing in front of my two favorite idols. ~Erica

Tokiya cautiously takes your hand as if it could break at any moment and shakes it once, while he still gives Ren a look, that perhaps his death day has come today. Ren clicks his tongue and rolls his eyes. 

“How come it didn’t bother you with the others?” He asks, and Tokiya lets go of your hand. “It had bothered me the whole time, I thought only now would be a good moment to say something,” Tokiya replies calmer than Ren, yet with an annoyed tone in the voice. 

“We could welcome our fans differently, if that bothers you so much,” Ren puts his two hands on the table, which seperates the fans and the stars and gives you a grin. “How about it? Would you like to be the first to get a different greeting?”, his smile wants to put a spell on you.

"O-Oh, okay, see you in a bit," I say before going into the room with the rest of the fans to sit on a couch, smiling to myself. In a few minutes, all the member of STARISH enter the room and the girls mob around them. The stage hands manage to get them all in a line, and I'm the last one. It takes close to an hour before I finally get to shake their hands and chat with them. Finally, I make it to Tokiya and Ren, who happens to be my second favorite. "H-Hi Ren," I say as we shake hands. ~Erica

Ren looks after the last person and still smiles, until he turns his attention to you when you talk to him. First, he looks surprised because he just lost himself briefly in your bright, shining eyes, but then a grin reappears on his face. “Oh my, hello, my lady.” Slowly, he reaches for your hand and envelopes it with his both hands. “Had I known that such a charming person is waiting for me, I would have dressed myself more chic”, he says, while his outfit was almost perfect. He stares deep into your eyes, until someone pushes him slightly out of the way. It is Tokiya. “Shaking hands once is enough, you know?“

I blush under his gaze and I fidget just a bit. "Um," I say softly, "Aren't I going to see you in a few minutes with the rest of STARISH for the meet and greet?" I ask with a tilt of my head. ~Erica

The tips of his ears turning into the lightest shade of red, his heartbeat quickens as he notices that his mind must have set off as he previously spoke. "I know.“ Tokiya states matter-of-factly, the hint of a crooked smile visible on hard features. “Just thinkin’ of the future already, that’s all.” But before he allows you to comment on the hidden compliment, he turns around to make himself ready for the meet-and-greet and finally go to the toilet. “See you then”, he waves with his one hand, already walking away.

I feel a small sting in my heart at his uninterested attitude, and I'm about to speak up but I stop myself when he says to follow him. "O-Okay," I nod as I follow him down the hallway, and my heart starts pounding again as I realize how close I am to /the/ Tokiya Ichinose! I smile to myself and soon I find myself in a room with other fans who are waiting to meet the group. "Thank you, Tokiya," I whisper to him so the other girls don't see that he's outside the door. ~Erica

The way to the room you have spent in silence, but for Tokiya it was quite pleasant. He didn’t really know anyway what he could talk to you about. When you have to say farewell, Tokiya is surprised when you whisper. He was clever enough to know why, but that you’re spending thoughts about saving him from too enthuastic fangirls was impressive. He could not help but smile. “I’m going to hopefully see you again at a concert,” he said, looking at you for a while. Who knows whether he did it to get a reaction or to memorize to your face.

"Y-Yeah," I mumble shyly as I look up at him in a daze. After finally realizing what position we're in, I scramble to my feet and cough nervously. "I-I'm sorry about that and thank you! I'm really clumsy," I laugh nervously. "It's such an honor to meet you, though!" I smile politely at him. "Ah, I really should be going to the meeting place for the rest of STARISH. Do you know where it's at, by the way? I know its somewhere here backstage, but I'm not sure which room to go to!" ~Erica

“Is that so?” Tokiya looked at you with a disinterested look. He was on his way to the bathroom, not to spend hours chatting with a strange girl. “Next time take care of yourself.” He was about to take a step to the side until you mention STARISH. So she was a fan. “Actually…”, he paused for a moment. His work was very important to him and even if he didn’t show it, the fans were a part of his work. Would he disappoint this fan right now could it affect his hard work! What did Hyuga say again? His songs didn’t have a heart. Maybe the reason is that he doesn’t really shows interest in his fans?  Tokiya sighed as he nodded to you. “Follow me.”

It was after one of STARISH's concerts when I excitedly make my way backstage to meet the members of the group. I really couldn't wait, especially since I get to finally meet my favorite of the group, Tokiya! As I'm lost in my thoughts my foot gets caught on a cable and I let out a gasp and close my eyes, waiting for the impact. Suddenly, I feel a pair of strong arms wrap around me. I slowly open my eyes and see a pair of blue ones staring right back at me. "T-T-T-TOKIYA?!" ~Erica (she/her)

Tokiya is on his way to the bathroom, thinking about a book that he wants to read later, when he suddenly dives into reality again because of you. Instinctively he puts his arms under you, to keep you safe from the impact with the ground. Lightly surprised, he looks into your eyes, confused that you manage to trip on a straight passage. “Are you alright?” He asks with a calm voice, not really showing a sign that he’s actually worried.
