「Not-so Secret Admirer」

(🌟☕) Changing Colors

Thursday's after school, Akito and Toya are waiting for An to finish her club activities. Suddenly, they received a text from her.

"Hey, Akito, Toya, you can go to my Dad's cafe or whatever. I'll be later than usual, okay? Don't worry about Kohane, I'll pick her up"

Akito snickered after reading his teammate's statement.

"She's whipped for Kohane, huh? Hey, Toya?"

Toya's state is no good. Ever since a lot of people found out that someone sends a letter to Tsukasa, he became nervous. His senpai constantly mentioned that there's someone on his heart, but no one found out who the lucky person is.

He is the colorful paint when Toya's life is full of gray colors. He cherished him because he supported him to become a star along with his sister, Saki. Without him and Saki, Tsukasa wouldn't be what he is right now. He is thankful to Toya for being a part of his life. Toya thanked Tsukasa to be a paintbrush of various colors to his dull life. Without Tsukasa, he wouldn't be chasing his dreams.

But something stabs right through his heart, the feeling of one-sided love pains him. He wanted to spend time with him even in his busiest days, but he hesitated because he doesn't want to bother him. He wants him to be happy even if it's without him, with his new friends instead. He still want to hold hands and look at the stars with him, but instead, he was drifted away. He wanted to spend time and cherish those moments with Tsukasa, isn't it too much to ask?

"Akito? What is it?"

"You okay? You look pale"

Toya loves Tsukasa so much. He made him happy after these puzzle pieces from his heart got emptied. He loves his imperfections, his traits, his everything and his heart. He cherished his soul and his moments together with him. He is fascinated by his beloved senpai's shows and how he works hard for his dreams. He is Toya's love and inspiration. But the inspiration isn't just that.

Thinking about him made him smile, but at the same time his heart ache. Ever since they worked into separate groups, they barely had time for each other. Even though they went to the same school, it's just a short time. There's one time when he got invited by Tsukasa to watch his school play. Toya always wanted to watch it after a long time.

"I want to see him. Tsukasa-senpai..."

He muttered. Just when he almost fainted around Akito's arms, Tsukasa went to see Toya only to end up seeing him like this.

"TOYA?!"

"Hey! Hang in there!"

After hearing the voices, he fainted. His head hurts when spinning thoughts. He isn't used to this feeling. The last thing he saw is the face of the worried Tsukasa. When they're about to head to the clinic, they realized it's closed so Tsukasa and Akito brought Toya to the Tenma's household.

"Toya? Can you hear me?"

"Just a little bit closer, we're almost here. Can you wait?"

Toya fainted, near at the household doorstep.

6:39 PM

"Akito, thank you so much for taking him here! I'm worried about him! Was he feeling like this earlier?"

"I'll let An and Kohane know about this, senpai. You can have him. I assure you they can give him a day off. Please take care of him in our stead"

As soon as the redhead left, the icy haired boy woke up, seeing the blonde beside him. His heart flutter and his mind is filled with nostalgic memories.

"Tsukasa-senpai"

He smiled! He smiled when he saw his beloved.

"Toya! You're awake. I saw that you fainted. Akito and I came to put you here. He left just now."

Before Toya could say, he was surrounded by Tsukasa's arms, leaving him crying.

"Ts-Tsukasa-senpai, thank you so much. You're always there for me, is there something I can do for you in return?"

Tsukasa wiped Toya's tears.

"I told you, no need to do something in return, okay? You're in danger and this is I can do for you. You're my friend and I cannot leave you alone"

"But- I have pracitce?"

"Shh, it's okay. Akito already contacted your friends about your situation"

"Didn't you have rehearsals as well?"

"I took a day off. Your well-being is more important. Before you feel like a burden, I just want to say that I'm willing to take care of you no matter it takes."

"Senpai"

He smiled while tearing up, Tsukasa is still kind-hearted as ever.

"Would you like to eat something?"

Using his deep yet calming voice, he patted the icy hair.

"I would like a soup, please?"

"Alright, mushroom or creamy chicken?"

"Anything is fine, as long as I'm okay and you're okay"

"Toya, I want to make sure you're safe. Don't worry about me"

He gently patted Toya's head again. It felt so good. It brought back memories when he's down. Just as Tsukasa left to cook soup, Toya started reminiscing about Tsukasa's warm hands earlier. Well, not too long since he came back after a few minutes.

"Toya! Please do enjoy your soup that is made by none other than, Tsukasa Tenma!"

Holding a soup with a pose, there's a slight worry painted Toya's heart afraid of breaking he bowl. Regardless, Tsukasa is impressive as always

"Splendid, senpai. This pose is impressive!"

"Hm! As expected of me!"

He handed Toya a soup. The icy boy gave it a taste. The taste of the soup lingering through him that he felt a sensation. Was it because it was made by someone that he love? Or was it made WITH love?

"Tsukasa-senpai! This is delicious!"

Even if it's just the simple chicken soup from a can. Well, there's some chopped chicken, mushrooms and vegetables, it's still delicious. The warm soup made him feel better.

"How's that? Feeling like you drank a magic potion already? Good to know!"

Toya is delighted, but that doesn't mean he'll go home that easily. He still have to recover, and that means he has more time to spend time with his beloved.

"Today's school activities were exhausting. But that doesn't stop me from achieving them"

"I'm proud of you, senpai!"

"Good to hear! Guess what? I have the highest score on science project!"

"Wonderful! You never ceases to amaze me. Ah, as for me, I'm excited to watch your show. I'm looking forward for your amazing acting skills."

"Thank you. I promise you, you'll love the show. Feast your eyes tomorrow, it'll be fun."

"I cannot wait!"

Tsukasa patted Toya's head again. Then, they watched a variety show.

"Romeo and Cinderella will start tomorrow at the Phoenix Wonderland! Starring, Wonderlands x Showtime! Please book tickets until tomorrow noon!"

The two are delighted when hearing the news. Looks like the troupe has made it into TV once again!
