Kamukura opened the door to their hotel room. It was late and the flight had been really long.

"There's only one bed," Komaeda stated.

"Yes,"

"Did you want it to be that way?"

"Yes,"

"Why?"

"That is what couples do, isn't it?"

Komaeda nodded. "I guess so. I don't mind. Cuddling with you or Hinata-kun is awesome." He hung up his jacket and took off his shoes.

Both boys got ready for bed. Kamukura then told Komaeda to call Hinata.

"Hey, Hinata-kun!"

"Hey. How are you guys?"

"We're fine. The hotel room is so cool! Ah, and the award show will be live on TV. Are you going to watch it?"

"Of course. I really hope you win,"

"I doubt it. I'm not that influential and my style isn't innovative,"

"Yeah yeah, stop being humble,"

They continued to talk for a while until Komaeda fell asleep. Kamukura picked his phone that had fallen down up and covered Komaeda with the blanket. He then laid down behind him and wrapped his arms around his waist.

The next day, Komaeda left the hotel to get his nails done. Now Kamukura was alone. He hadn't posted anything on Instagram for a while, but he knew he should. Komaeda always sent him the pictures he took when they hung out, so Kamukura decided to post some of those. Komaeda had posted something on his story, so he clicked on it.

The first photo showed the view from the window of their hotel room and the second on was a selfie Kamukura and him had taken this morning.

He smiled. Komaeda made him really happy.

The door opened. "Hiii! I'm back!!!"

"You're energetic,"

"Mhm mhm mhm mhm!" Komaeda ran towards him and showed his nails. "Look how pretty they are!"

"They do look nice,"

"I know, right? And the lady who did them was so sweet! At least, I think she was. I couldn't understand a word she was saying, haha! I should really study English more,"

"I can always translate things for you if you want,"

"Oh, you're good at English?"

"Yes,"

"How cool! Did you sent your speech in too?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well, models from all over the world have been nominated and not all of us know English. We had to sent the speeches we would hold if we won to the host or someone like that. They translated them and will project the translation onto a screen so everyone will know what we're saying,"

"I wrote my speech in English,"

"Whaaat?? You're so talented!" Komaeda kissed his cheek. "If you don't win, I'll be so sad,"

"You're going to win," Kamukura stated.

"Meh, I don't think so. Anyway, we should get dressed now." He got up.

"You're right,"

A while later, both of them were dressed up. Komaeda had insisted on getting changed in the bathroom so their outfits could be a surprise.

Kamukura wore a penguin suit with a red bow and a top hat. It was simple, but fancy.

Komaeda left the bathroom, wearing a light pink dress. It went down to his knees and he wore a petticoat underneath. He also wore white tights and a bracelet with a heart on it.

"Kamukura-kun!!!" He practically squealed. "You look gorgeous!" He pulled him into a tight hug.

"Thank you." Kamukura pat his head. "You look beautiful too,"

"Thanks! I have something for you." He pulled a bracelet out of his small heart-shaped handbag. It was the same as the one he wore. "I bought these on my way back here. I have one for Hinata-kun too. I thought maybe we could... all wear them together. You know like... since I'm dating both of you and stuff... mm..." He seemed to get more and more embarassed with each word.

"That's a wonderful idea." Kamukura put on the bracelet and kissed Komaeda's forehead.

"Ah, thank you!"

After Komaeda styled his hair, they called a taxi to go to the award show. When they entered, only models, photographers, makeup artists, fashion designers and the host were there. All in all there were four prizes. One for each of the before mentioned categories.

Kamukura and Komaeda sat down at their table. A few pictures were already being taken. Half an hour later, more guests entered. They were just people who paid to be allowed to watch the award show live.

The camera crew began to film and the host walked onto the stage.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am so pleased to welcome you to the model of the year award show!" Everyone applauded.

He went on to list a bunch of the nominees and kept talking about things Komaeda couldn't understand. After what felt like forever, he began with the awards.

"Now then, let's give out the first award. This one is the photographer of the year award!" He held up a golden camera. After the crowd applauded, he held up an envelope. "Out of all the amazing photographers here, only one can win. This time it's..." He opened the envelope and pulled out the letter inside. "Claire Laurent!"

A woman walked onto the stage, smiling. She then held her speech.

"The next award for the best fashion designer goes to... Jing Zhao!"

A woman walked onto the stage and held her speech.

"The award for the makeup artist of the year goes to... Thomas Smith!"

A man walked onto the stage and held his speech.

"And finally, the moment we've all been waiting for. The award for the model of the year goes to... Nagito Komaeda!"

Komaeda's eyes widened. He nervously got up and walked onto the stage where he was handed an award that looked like a person posing while wearing fancy clothes.

"Thank you." He smiled at the host. Then, he turned towards the crowd.

"Uhm... before I say anything else, I'd like to thank a few people. I want to thank all my fans. This wouldn't be happening without them, obviously... haha. I also want to thank my boyfriend Kamukura-kun for all of his support as well as my best friend Hinata-kun." He smiled at one of the cameras. "I also want to thank my other friends! Thank you Nanami-san, Mioda-san, Togami-kun, Tachihara-kun and Souda-kun." He bowed down and everyone applauded.

"This, ah, is very special. I am aware that some of the things that were made public about me are controversial, which is why I'm honestly... surprised that I won. I don't want to beat around the bush. Being gay can make you a lot of enemies. And when you're a public figure especially. Many people were upset when I came out and I was... for a moment I was sure my career was over. When my manager told me not to hide anymore and that I can come out, I didn't believe him, but now... I'm happy I did. If I didn't, I wouldn't be dating Kamukura-kun. I'm also happy that I won this award despite not exaclty being... the traditional man people might want to see. With that, I thank all of you for this award. I truly think everyone else deserved to win more than me, but... I'm still happy I did win." He bowed down.
