Ike Eveland POV|

I woke up to messages from the Luxiem group chat. 

Shu Y.: Heyo bois
Mysta R.: WHAT'S UP??!
Vox A.: Guess what boys
Vox A. attached 1 image
Mysta R.: YOU'RE HERE ALREADY?!
Luca K.: DUDE!! I'LL GO MEET YOU AT THE ENTRANCE!
Me: Hi Vox! Can't wait to meet up with all of us again!
Vox A.: Of course, my boy, I'll even pay for our meal
Shu Y.: Nah, the hotel bar and restaurant will give free food because of the convention
Luca K.: exciting. Lucy and her friends have organized a feast!

I smiled. Ivy moved to this country with the Luxiem girls because she wanted to start her own business, I wonder hows she's doing. I looked over as I heard Y/n groaning. "I am NEVER sleeping in jeans again." His morning voice was quite deep. I put my glasses on and giggled at his bed hair. "Hm, I'll get changed in the bathroom. I need to shower anyway" he sounded grumpy. "Are you not a morning person Y/n?" he shook his head and rubbed his eyes. "Do you want to shower first or will I?" He moved on. I thought quietly. I need to blow dry my hair, but I think he needs to as well. "I'll go first, just to get it out of the way" I grabbed my outfit from my suitcase. 

I walked into the bathroom, which was EXTREMELY white. I flinched at the sudden light. I put my clothes on the counter. I took off my glasses and clothes and turned on the shower.

I am surprised that the water pressure was so good! I felt the slight tapping of the warm water. I cleaned my hair and body. Once I was done, I turned off the shower and quickly dried myself. I dried my hair with the hotel hair drier. I am really surprised. Luca and Shu and the girls went all out for this hotel. I got dressed. Looking in the mirror, I smoothed out any bumps.

I put my glasses on. I went out and Y/n went for his shower. The room was kind of warm, so I took off my scarf and jacket. I checked my phone. 


Luxiem and Luxi-girls
Lucy K.: BOYS
me: what?
Vox A.: yes?
Mysta R.: Yo?
Luca K.: Lucy I'm right beside you
Shu Y.: what happened?
Ivy E.: Do any of you know where the special forks are?
Vox A.: I wouldn't know
me: me either
Shu Y.: I would ask Mysty or Voxanne
Voxanne A.: Top left drawer. You are too short to get them tho, hehe
Ivy E.: I'm going to throw you :)
Vox A.: ladies, please

I giggled at the encounter. I came off my phone and Y/n walked out, fully dressed. (feel free to alter this outfit as you wish. All the white is for you)

His outfit reminded me of something that Shoto would wear

His outfit reminded me of something that Shoto would wear. I realised he was dressing like the little brother from his book but instead of thick heels, he was wearing red sneakers. 

"Let's go. The others are waiting for us" Y/n said gently, grabbing his phone. I nodded and put my scarf and jacket back on. We went down to the lobby, where Matt and Kenny were waiting for us. Kenny was wearing the exact outfit from his book and Matt was wearing a casual suit. "You all look like nerds," Matt said. Y/n and I smirked. "But I'm sure you think Kenny is a HOT nerd," Y/n said exactly what I was thinking. Matt rolled his eyes and Kenny was blushing. "Arigato" Kenny whispered. 

I felt a little bit bad and nudged Y/n. "Sorry, I don't mean to do any harm..." He gave a sincere apology. 
Y/n texted the other people of Luxiem. 5 minutes later, all the boys were in the lobby with us. Mysta was hugging Y/n and almost crying. "My little brother is growing up" he sobbed. "Mysta, I've been an adult for a while now" He laughed it off and hugged Mysta back. We all walked down to the convention centre. 

The conversation was flowing like a river and in no time at all, we were at the convention centre. Our agents met us at the door. Jarred, Mandy, Cally and Rinn took us to the behind-the-stage room. Vox, Luca and Shu went to their seats. Mandy and I were chatting about what would happen. Cally was sitting with Y/n and Mysta, chatting as well. Matt and Rinn were talking over the points on Rinn's clipboard. Jarred and Kenny were talking in German. 

We had two hours before the convention went into full swing. Two hours before we would be on stage, talking about our books. Cally got our attention quite quickly. 

"Well, since you guys have two hours before the convention properly starts, we want to take you guys to where your stalls will be. Mysta, do you mind getting your friends?" Mysta nodded and ran off to get Luca, Shu and Vox. She turned back to us. "Just be casual, alright boys?" We all nodded. Rinn brought us out to where the stalls were in the process of being set up. Mysta and the others met us at the entrance of the room. 

There were four tables lined up. Each table had a different colour cloth on it. Blue for me, Yellow for Matt, white for Kenny and (F/C) for Y/n. Each agent placed two boxes of merch on the table, along with displays. 
I set up my display in a nice way. T-shirts and hoodies are in two piles, sitting on a display shelf. The posters are hanging in front of the table. Signed copies of the books sat just under the table. I looked over. Mandy finished hanging up posters for each of us. Rinn was helping Cally and Y/n. Jarred was missing. He went off for a smoke break. 

It took an hour for us to be fully set up. 
Cally, Mandy and Rinn treated us to some tea at a nice cafe. I felt bad for Kenny, as his agent was bailing on him while ours were always checking in on us. "Keneth" Rinn spoke up. "It's... it is Kenny" he corrected him. "Ah, sorry, sorry. Kenny, if you don't mind me asking you here, but did Jarred check in on you at all while you were preparing for this?" Kenny shook his head. 

Rinn sighed. "That's against the policy, see." Rinn started speaking again. "We have to check in with you guys, at least twice, before you guys come on stage." Kenny looked shocked. We all thought everything was normal. "If you have issues, come to me," Rinn said. "I will sort everything" 

That's when it all clicked for us. Rinn was a higher agent than Cally, Mandy and Jarred. 

With thirty minutes to spare before going on stage, we sat in the behind-the-stage room. Vox, Luca, Mysta and Shu had gone to their seats.
