Flashback

---------

The group just got back together, and the show went on successfully without any malfunction.

"Alright.. I'm tired.." Nene exclaimed before slouching down on the bench of the audience.

"Fufu, this was a successful show. Right Tsukasa?" Rui looked around for the boy, but he wasn't in his point of view.

"Emu, Where'd he go?" Rui looked at Emu who was currently cleaning up. Emu took a while before answering.

"I think I saw him going backstage." Emu replied as Rui nodded as a thanks.

Rui got up from the stage and worked his way inside the backstage. He was about to call out but then another voice disturbed from doing so. He knew it wasn't his business but curious is his enemy, so he decided to take a sneak peak.

Tsukasa was on his phone scrolling through what it looked like old picture's.

"Urgh..I need to stop thinking about them.. They think I'm not worth of an explanation.. But.." His fingers stopped on a audio. He played for only him to hear, So Rui couldn't hear the words coming out from the phone.

Tsukasa withdrew the phone from his hand and start to delete the pictures.

"I've found new people who admire my talents. I won't let something stop me from trusting anyone." Tsukasa said it firmly as he delete all the photos which Rui couldn't see.

"Though, it has always been my fault for being indecisive and arrogant to them.." Tsukasa turned off his phone as he disappeared in the changing area.

End of Flashback.

Tsukasa slowly woke up with a surprisingly warm embrace. He felt arms of another but he wasn't in the state of mind to think about it.

He yawned and checked the time. he tries to find his phone and reads the time as "5:48am" By now, those small seconds are enough to give him his conscious.

He was surprised to see an arm around his waist he was flustered a bit, but he didn't recall a confession. The voice behind him let out a muttered groan as the arms around him pulled him closer.

Tsukasa jolted and looked who that was, and surprised to see.

"Rui?!" Tsukasa's cheeks were turning to a color of a tomato, Rui didn't wake up from his slumber. Tsukasa tried to wake him up and finally he did wake up.

"Ahh.. Morning Tsukasa..~" He voice became low at the last part, as he was still asleep. This didn't made Tsukasa even better.

"Let go, I need to take a shower and make breakfast.." Tsukasa muttered enough for him to hear, but Rui fell back asleep, again..

With a motive to get out of embrace, even though he didn't want to. Tsukasa forced himself out but Rui was persistent.

But in the end he was able to escape, his face flushed before exiting the room to take a shower.

In the shower, as the water trickle down from his body he was trying to remember what happened yesterday. How would he remember something so clearly, then forget it the next day? He didn't drink any medicine, his medication finished years ago.

While he thought about it carefully, he realized he needed to make breakfast. He pushed his thoughts away and finished his shower and went to dress up.

He dried himself and grabbed the clothes he picked out for today. Once he was dressed, he walked out of the bathroom and fix his stuff.
