The Stars 'Devoted Fan'

A Talk Perhaps?

"Hey, Rui...!" Tsukasa waves at the man in front of him. Rui uncomfortably shifts and greets the star "Good morning, Tsukasa." As he try's not to make eye contact. They sit with each other in silence until Tsukasa speaks up. "I haven't been here in a while." Rui looks up at Tsukasa in confusion. "What do you mean? You've been here before?" "Yeah, during high-school. I'm pretty sure we went here together." "Oh. No wonder..." Rui mumble. He knew it looked familiar! It was the cafe they used to visit. Also, the sophomores they knew worked there. Rui wondered if they still do... Well, the theory of the sophomores still working there was proven. The waiter that took their order was non other then Aoyagi Toya. Practically Tsukasa's younger brother.

Toya came back with the pairs drinks. Tsukasa order some Herbal Lemon tea while Rui had some Coffee.
"So, how have you been?" Tsukasa asked "I've been well." Rui replied. "I see..." there was heavy tension between the two. Well, their relationship in highschool wasn't what normal friends did. They, well... we're very close and when they split apart Rui held onto his feelings tightly and Tsukasa, he did the same yet, forced himself to ignore them. Remembering High school and everything made it very VERY awkward for the two. Rui took a sip of his coffee to try and ease himself. Now, Rui is not a big fan of coffee the bitter taste sometimes gets to him. Yet, it keeps him awake so he doesn't complain. But... today was just not his day. As he took a sip the bitterness hit him and he made a face. Tsukasa looked at Rui in concern. "You okay?" Rui gulped down the coffee "Yeah... I'm good." He said trying to keep his composure

Tsukasa speaks up, "Here." He passes Rui his tea. Rui glances at the tea then the star. "Are you sure..." "Yes, I'm sure." Rui was hesitant at first but he couldn't bare the bitterness! He took a sip and set it down feeling a wave of relief wash over him. "Pfft-" Rui heard. He looked at Tsukasa trying to not laugh. Tsukasa realized Rui was looking at him. "Oh! Ah um- sorry..." his small chuckle died out. "No it's okay." Rui responded. Silence grew in between the two but luckily, Toya came to take their orders. "What would you like, Tsukasa-senpai." "Hm... I'll get the pancakes." Toya noted it down. "You Kamishiro-senpai?" "I'll take an Omelette." "Right, your dishes will come shortly." "Still ordering the same thing?" Tsukasa said. "Oh, yeah." The two sat in silence, but only for a bit, "So, your still working in Phoenix Wonderlands?" "Hm? Oh Yeah. I also have a small robotic business I suppose." "That sounds nice, so um.." Tsukasa looked panicked but proved to ask his question. "How are the others?" Ah. "Well, Nene has been well but Otori-san... I'm not to sure. Me or Nene hardly get any updates from her." "I see. Can you do me a favor the next time you see Nene?" "I suppose so..." "Tell her I said hi." Tsukasa's expression was unreadable. It was if he wanted to cry but yet, so cheery and happy looking. "Alright, I'll her." Rui responded. The two smiled at each other.

Before they knew it, Toya came back with their dishes "Here you are, Tsukasa-senpai, Kamishiro-senpai." "Thanks Toya!" Tsukasa smiled at him. The two proceeded to dig into their food, despite Tsukasa being a superstar he wasn't the most cleanest eater. He had crumbs everywhere and he didn't realize it. So when Rui saw the mess on his face and on the table he just had to point it out. "Hey Tsukasa, you have quite a mess around and um... some stuff on your face." "Huh? What do you mean- OH!" Tsukasa exclaimed, "Ah!! Where did I leave my napkin?!" "Oh here just let me." Rui proceeded to take his napkin and wipe Tsukasa's face. Tsukasa sat still with a shocked face, "H-Hey, Rui?" The younger then realized what he was doing, "Oh- My apologizes I didn't to make you uncomfortable!" "No, No- It's okay really!" The older responded, then the two finishes eating their dishes and cleaned up the area around them, not wanting to leave the workers a big mess. "Excuse me, may we get the bill?" Tsukasa asked a worker, "Sure thing!" The worker shortly returned with the bill and the strawberry blonde took out his wallet. "Wait- Are you going to pay?" Rui questioned "Huh? Yeah why?" "Well.. I mean your a superstar so I think it would be strange for you to pay for my food.." Rui confessed. "That doesn't matter! I invited you so I'm gonna pay!" Tsukasa argued, before Rui could say anything in return, Tsukasa brought out his credit card and placed a tip as well. Rui sighs in response while Tsukasa chuckles.

After Tsukasa pays the meal, the two walk out. "Rui, thank you for meeting up with me." "Huh? Yeah no problem." "Say.. I have a few more days here. You wanna hang out more, and maybe you can bring Ne- I mean Kusanagi-San along!" "I don't mind. I'll try to bring Nene along too." Rui responded with a smile. The two boys then went to their cars and drove off....

(Tsukasa's thoughts) Man... I didn't. Think I'd miss him that much...
