"Thanks for coming, you guys." y/n smiled at the others.
She vowed to herself the night she became a part of Vivid BAD SQUAD that she would take care of herself more.
That meant cleaning out her father's room, for it was left vacant and collecting dust since his death.
She just couldn't stand being in a room that was her dad's, it reminded her too much of him. Her eyes would well up every time she went in there, and it wasn't the dust's fault.
Since one unkept room that had no inhabitant in it for two years is too much for one person to clean, y/n invited the squad over, as a sort of — how should it be said, — bonding time.
"Man, how do you even manage not going to a room for 2 years straight..." Akito asked as he walked into the ragged room.
y/n glanced at him from the floor, piles of random things on her lap. She stood up and wiped off her pants. "Ever gone into the janitor's closet?"
Akito shook his head.
"That's the same thing as this. You're just not supposed to be in there."
Akito shrugged.
An shrieked and jumped high enough to brush the roof with her head; she found a ginormous bug in between a pile of boxes.
Kohane, hearing the commotion, flipped her hat off and put it on top of the bug, trapping it.
"Oh, thank God, Kohane-chan! Thank you!" An breathed a sigh of relief as Kohane opened the window to release the little critter.
Kohane plopped her hat back on and smiled at An. "Of course, An-chan!"
y/n spotted Toya silently flipping through a book.
She say down beside him and put her head on his shoulder. "Whatcha looking at?"
Toya smiled. "Your parents' memory book for when they got married."
"You're only reinforcing what I called you when we first met: a straightforward stalker."
"It's not my fault you told me your life story though, is it?"
"What a way to admit you're oddly obsessed with my family."
Toya looked at her in the eyes.
"The only l/n I'm obsessed with is you."
Prepared or not, Toya always found a way to make y/n blush.
"You know what, sometimes your rizz is too much. That's why I love you."
Now it was Toya's turn to blush.
"Hey, can you two stop flirting and help out? y/n, this is your house." Akito scolded.
She rolled her eyes at him playfully, but she went back to cleaning.
As they spent time together cramped in the dusty, old room, they talked about many things together; food, friends, family, plans for Vivid BAD SQUAD, and so much more.
Then y/n got some calls, and not just one from multiple people.
Hundreds (maybe not hundreds, but yeah) of calls, all from the same person; Tono Arata.
"Sorry guys, I have to take this call. Be right back." She dashed out of the room faster than anyone could respond.
And despite being in a different room, her voice was loud and clear.
"Why do you keep calling me?"
Silence.
She would gasp. "You're kidding!"
More silence.
"What? Who? Are you kidding?"
More silence.
"Oh my God. Oh, no no no no no! Don't respond, don't respond!"
...
"Yep, I'll let you know."
(a/n: my beloved little astrinda asked for some references so there's one in there.)
That was most likely the end of the conversation because y/n came bursting back in the room, beaming with joy.
"You will never guess who called!"
"Lemme guess. Arata-kun."
"Ok, not seriously, Akito."
y/n clapped her hands. "But that's not the point!"
"What is it, y/n-chan?" An and Toya asked in unison.
"It's not very close to today, but we were invited by Arata-kun to a huge event in America!"
The room immediately burst into joy and cheers.
"Really? When? Where?" An asked, her eyes brighter than all her star accessories combined.
"February 14 at Las Vegas!"
Kohane counted off the months on her fingers. "Today is July 5, so that's 5 months, not including July. We have plenty of time to practice and get something down that will amaze the crowd!"
"But still, that doesn't mean we can slack off. This might be what we're waiting for, actually. This is our chance to surpass RAD WEEKEND." Akito said determinedly.
"Let's make sure this chance doesn't go to waste." Toya told everyone.
An stuck her hand out in a group cheer. y/n followed her lead, then Toya, Kohane, and Akito.
"Let's get cracking, Vivid BAD SQUAD!"
"Woo!"
But first, let's finish cleaning up this room, maybe? y/n thought to herself, chuckling slightly.

a/n: holy shit that was short. Sorry guys, I'll try to treat you next time. See you in chapter 11!
