The Untitled Ikuzono Story

After the Show

Sayaka's POV

"Thank you everybody! Goodnight!!"
I ran off the stage as the lights went down, closing this concert to an end. I ran over excitedly to a particular girl in security.

My girlfriend, Mukuro Ikusaba.

"You did so good!" She said, picking me up and twirling me around in a hug. I loved how she was so incredibly strong.

"Thaaaank you!" I sang, kissing her on the cheek as she placed me down, my hands still wrapped around her shoulders.

"We should go meet up with the others," she said, holding my hand as we walked further backstage toward the exit. "Almost everybody's come to see you. Big show since...everything, and all."

Although we don't try to talk about it much, we're just glad everything was fake. Junko's gotten help. Everybody's gotten help. I'm just glad to be back, right?

I step backstage, rewarded with the smiling faces of my classmates and peers. As everybody congratulated me for the "stellar performance," we all hopped into our respective rides to the house.

After everything, the school's hotel wasn't really fit to house people. The NEO-World wasn't very good by that time, and numerous damages to the virtual building have lasted in the real world. So, Byakuya decided to do something nice, (through influence of his boyfriend, I'm sure,) and now everybody's staying in one of his extra houses.

I feel my eyelids getting heavier and heavier, and I doze off.

Mukuro's POV

After a long night of excellent work, Sayaka fell asleep on my shoulder. We were sitting in the backseat of Ibuki's car, however, so we were fine.

"Popstar's fallen asleep? I'll turn down the music!" Ibuki yelled, louder than the music itself.

I sighed, and smiled. "Thank you."

As Mikan lectured Ibuki about hearing loss, Kaede and Maki were talking in the middle row. Kaede said something flirtatious I assume, as Maki turned away, her face caught in a full on blush. Before I knew it, we turned into the parking lot.

As I thanked Ibuki for the ride, I picked Sayaka up bridal style and carried her inside. The house was ridiculously big, but that was to be expected of Togami. Especially because of how many people we all were.

Once in the room, I placed Sayaka down on the bed. Luckily, I had made her change into something comfy before we left, because she usually falls asleep early. I quickly grab a makeup wipe and gently stroke her face, just to grab anything that didn't come off before.

I swiftly change into a t-shirt and shorts, and get into bed.
