Painful Love (IDOLISH7)

4

It was Monday and 7:30 in the morning, Riku was at Yaotome Production early. He got his employee card and he was to meet Anesagi in the lobby since she is supposed to show him stuff.

Riku was on his phone texting someone "Oh Riku! You're here already?" Riku looked up to see Anesagi with Gaku, Ryuu and Tenn 'She must have picked them up.' Riku thought to himself.

Riku stood up and smiled at them "Yes, I didn't want to be late or anything." He tells her as Anesagi eyes shined "I'm so glad I chose you!" Anesagi shouted as TRIGGER sweat drop "Good morning Riku-kun." Ryuu greeted with a smile.

Gaku smiled too "Morning Nanase." He also greeted Riku, Tenn nods "Good morning Nanase-san." Tenn greeted Riku like they were strangers but Riku only smiled still "Good morning all of you." Riku greeted them back.

Anesagi looked at Riku "Well ready to begin your first day." She asked him as he nodded. "Of course!" Riku was ready and pumped also he just wanted to be distracted from thinking about Tenn and having to talk to him.

So far the day has been busy for Riku, Anesagi showed him all the rooms that they would sometimes meet up in. She told him every little detail of the members that he needed to know about. Anesagi had Riku organize their schedules, make sure they ate something and had something to drink.

It was a busy morning for Riku on his first day, but it's been keeping him busy so he doesn't mind. Currently he was highlighting lyrics in different colors for TRIGGER, it's one of their newest songs for them. "Nanase, I heard you were overseas for a few years. Where did you go?" Gaku decided to asked him.

That got Ryuu and Tenn attention, Tenn knew he went overseas but didn't know where exactly. Riku looked up and smiled "I went to Paris to study, I was offered to study out there and I just couldn't pass up that opportunity." Riku answered Gaku.

Ryuu looked amazed "So you know French and English?" He asked the redhead who nodded "Yeah, I had to learn it pretty quick but I managed." Riku tells Ryuu, Tenn listened while looking at them. "Tenn you only been to London and New York right?"

Gaku asked Tenn and their center nodded "I was only at London for a brief time then I went to New York." Tenn tells them, Riku had a feeling why Tenn went to those places 'Takamasa Kujo must have sent him to learn...' Riku thought to himself.

Without realizing it Riku finish and at that moment Anesagi walked in. "Oh you already finish Riku? Why not go take a break since I been keeping you busy." She tells Riku which surprised TRIGGER. 'She really likes Riku-kun/Nanase/Riku hard work.' Ryuu, Gaku and Tenn thought the same thing "Thank you!"

Riku went to the vending machine to grab something to drink "Before I put any money in I should decide what to get first." Riku mumbles as he stared at the drinks.

"I'll get myself milk honey." Riku says to himself but before he could put his money in someone else put their money in and punched in the number for the milk honey. "Now you get your milk honey to drink Riku~."

Riku knew that voice very well, he turned to see two very familiar faces. "Momo! Yuki!" Riku says with a surprised look on his face "See Momo, I told you Riku-kun would make that look." Yuki says as Momo pouts.

TRIGGER and Anesagi were walking in their direction until they heard Riku voice "Rude! Momo and Yuki, I think I need more than Milk Honey." Riku was pouting at them. "Riku...knows Re:vale?" Tenn mumbles to see his brother talking to Yuki and Momo.

The three laughed as Yuki patted Riku head "It's nice to see you Riku-kun, you didn't let us know you came back to Japan." Yuki says with a frown, Momo pouted now "Yeah! Don't you think you owe us something instead!" Momo tells Riku.

Riku lifted his arms up "Hey! I'm sorry! Blame Ryo for me not calling or texting you guys! And don't you think you guys got me back already." Riku mumbles the last part. "They're really so friendly with each other." Gaku whispered so the trio doesn't hear them.

Tenn and Ryuu nodded "Yeah, I wonder how they met each other?" Ryuu whispers, Anesagi whispered to them now "The other two who recommended Riku was Yuki and Momo. They called right after Ryo Tsukumo recommended Riku."

They looked at Anesagi surprised then back to the group, Riku was now drinking his milk honey. "Where's Okazaki-san at? Did you two run off again from him?" Riku asked them.

Momo grins "Can you blame us? We happened to see a certain cute and adorable redhead, so we wanted to say hi." Momo happily says as Yuki nodded with a small smile in agreement "We were just happy to finally see you." Yuki now says to Riku.

Riku raised an eyebrow "So it really was you two that also recommended me for this position?" Riku sighs as their smiles confirmed it "I knew Ryo for sure did it, when I heard three people recommended me." Riku tells them.

Momo and Yuki chuckles at that "I'm surprised Ryo is even alive at all." Momo says as Riku frowned "Well he didn't tell me what this job I was interviewing for was or where until we were around the corner. Don't get me wrong I also wanted to murder him but that would result me being killed too plus I didn't buy myself a bus or train pass yet and I don't have a drivers licenses. So basically he's only alive because he was my ride home." Riku tells them.

The two laughed at that but then Momo lifted Riku chin while Yuki held one of Riku hand. "You're so cute and adorable like the last time we seen you, sweetie." Momo says flirty, Yuki kissed Riku hand "How we missed our sweetie."

Without realizing it Riku smiled lovely at them. "I'm sorry to keep you both waiting my darling and my honey. I also missed you both so very much." Riku says sweetly to them.

"Yuki! Momo!" They turned to see Rinto Okazaki, Re:vale manager. He saw the two idols "Why did you two just disappear like that!" He shouted at them but he saw a familiar face "Look who we saw." Yuki says to his manager as they showed him Riku.

Okazaki was surprised but sighed with a smile "Well I guess I can't be mad at you two for getting excited from seeing Riku." Okazaki says as he pats Riku head "You three are doing your polygamy act?" He asked them.

Riku nervously chuckled "Haha well yeah...they started it and it became a habit of mine too." Riku tells Okazaki and of course he sighed but smiled "Well lots of people like it when you're involved but anyways we should celebrate your return Riku." He tells him.

Anesagi and the others were surprised to see that even Re:vale manager knew Riku but also that Riku and Re:vale do a polyamory act together. "You guys don't need-" sadly Riku was cut off "Oh! That's a great idea! Riku do you get off at 8 tonight?" Momo asked him.

"Y-Yeah I do." Riku answered honestly, he wasn't a very good liar so it's not like he can lie. "That's great. Riku-kun once you get off wait for us in the lobby, we will celebrate your return." Yuki says with a small smile.

Okazaki smiled "I just made reservations for dinner tonight." Riku only hope also liked the idea of celebrating "O-Okay...see you guys tonight." They waved to each other.
