Who are you

And Then It Was Morning

Reiss continuously looked at her watch, wondering where the famous pop star was. It was 11:24 AM and majority of the team checked out already. That's except for two people. Katsumi and her.

With worry, she quickly pulled out her phone to contact Katsumi who once again didn't answer. Her hands began to shake, nervous something could've happened last night.

She took the elevator back up to the 8th floor and stormed to Katsumi's room unaware of the scene she would find.

Three knocks in and she was shocked to see Katsumi in a towel. She looked as if she hopped out the shower. Her hair was wet and curly, but that's not the only thing she noticed.

Those bruises- no. Hickeys. Those are hickeys on her neck. Who was up here with her? She thought to herself.

"Katsumi! You're late for checkout, I've been trying to call. I know you're still mad, but this isn't-", before she could finish her sentence she spotted a familiar set of shoes.

Her eyebrows risen, being completely stunned of what she was witnessing, "You didn't", she whispered harshly.

Katsumi quickly shushed her, not wanting her to say it out loud, "Reiss please"

"Don't Reiss me. Is he still here?", she asked appalled, looking inside to see if he may have just forgotten his shoes.

The the man of the hour came out the bathroom with an identical towel wrapped around his waist. His hair was wet as well, tied up in a bun to keep it out his face.

He spotted Reiss and groaned a low fuck under his breath not realizing she was gonna be up here. He was a tad bit hung over from last night, so he didn't quickly move out of frame for him not to be seen.

Reiss unfortunately saw Shouta wet in a towel alongside Katsumi so there was only one explanation, "You two had sex"

Her tone was almost not believable, like she was trying to convince herself what had happened, but though it wasn't apparent to her yet, it really did happen. Katsumi and Shouta one hundred percent had sex the night before leading into this morning.

"Reiss I'm begging. Leave", Katsumi voice wreaked of embarrassment. She didn't know how this was gonna go later on, but this was something they would discuss later on. Not now.

Reiss breathed in, turning around to walk away from this uncomfortable scene. The more she walked though the hallway the faster she went, not wanting to be on the same floor as those two.

Katsumi closed the door quietly, turning around awkwardly to see Shouta hiding behind the wall.

"She's gone", she breathed out.

He let out a sigh of relief and came out of hiding to meet Katsumi at the door. He locked the top lock and wrapped his arms around her torso, breathing in the scent of the hotel body wash on her neck.

She lightly moaned, embarrassed the two got caught, but he didn't mind it. Caught off guard, yes, but not one lick of embarrassment.

"I'm not gonna hear the end of this", she whined.

He ignored her comment and kissed her neck, sliding his hand under her towel to feel her skin. They woke up in a good mood and he insist on keeping it that way.

There was no managers, no body guards, no old partners. It was just them. The two alone in the room, taking advantage of the moment gifted to them.

"You know...", he started off. "I can't think of a time where we haven't argued since you came back to Japan"

She lightly sighed and agreed, "Yeah. Your right"

"Last night...it was great. I just wish it didn't start the way it did", he admitted.

She turned around to look at him and lightly grabbed his face, feeling on his stubble, "Shouta"

"I'm gonna get dressed. I'm gonna go home and check on my mom, but please. Please don't leave until I've had a chance to talk to you. Don't leave me. Not again", he begged.

She nodded, looking down at the floor not wanting to look into his eyes.

He kissed her forehead, proceeding to get dressed in his attire from yesterday. He didn't bother tucking in his shirt, but other than that, he looked pretty decent after leaving from a drunk night stand.

He opened the door and looked at her one more time before closing it behind him, leaving her behind to battle with her thoughts.

Shouta P.O.V

After driving home I noticed my mom's car parked up front. I mentally sighed, not looking forward to being interrogated right off the bat walking into the house.

I turned my house key into the door, opening it to see my mother making lunch. She looked over and softly smiled, "Good morning. Missed you last night"

"I had a few drinks and thought it would be best to sleep at the hotel"

She walked away from the stove and brought out three plates. I stared at the table confused, "We have company?", I asked.

She nodded, "Well you tell me son. Thought after the long night you had you would bring a guest over"

My throat ran dry. Nothing ever did get past this woman. Instead of avoiding the situation I decided to entertain her antics, "I can call her over if you'd like. I'm supposed to meet up with her later today"

"Go change. I'll take it you washed up at the hotel since your hair is wet"

I nodded and walked over to my room, changing into a more comfortable wardrobe. I tossed my suit into the dirty clothes bin and walked back out to see my mother still working on the food.

My jaw clenched as I took out my phone to call Katsumi. I guess now would be a good time than any other.

The phone rang and rang and rang...until finally she picked up. Here goes nothing.

"Hey"
