Hakuji swore to secretly and only went to tell Koyuki. Leaving Kotoha to herself for the evening. She curled up in her bed, facing the window and listening to the wind howl.
Her phone(Thank you Hakuji for giving her technology again) would buzz with an emoji of a bun. It made her laugh briefly before she cracks into a cry.
This was supposed to be a joyous occasion and yet here she was alone.
She curls up and pulls the sheet over her, letting the familiar howl of the wind lull her to sleep.
—
Douma sits atop the building that overlooks a busy square, chewing on an arm, debating on how to approach this.
He didn't really think too much about this.
Maybe he can make up the story of how he lost everything in the fire. It was the best bet to sell his sob background.
Douma soaks up the cold winds letting it whip his hair. He thinks about how he would love Kotoha's warm fingers running through his locks. The thought made him purr, falling onto his back and enjoying the meat left on the arm. Tossing the limb before rolling to his side to rip another piece from the female he had killed that evening.
She had batted her eyes at him, leading him to an alleyway, away from the peering eyes of people and the watchful lenses of cameras. Since he didn't want to commit adultery he killed her quickly.
But her taste was lackluster in comparison to his songbird.
His purr becomes a rumble.
Oh, how he wants to have her again.
—
Two days pass and Kotoha couldn't help but shrink back when Maki pulls her along, flashing lights of cameras start, and Riko and Hanako led the charge to their seats. Her Idol mates take the center chair of the interview but once Kotoha sat down, the crowd seems to direct their attention to her.
Those smiles Hanako and Riko held became strained.
When the interview started, Kotoha couldn't help but feel queasy. In a room of fifty or so odd people, asking questions at rapid speed, it made everything so uncomfortable.
She couldn't handle it, opening the bottle of water in front of her before putting on a false smile.
—
Douma snuck in easily enough, sneaking past security and into the room where his songbird was answering some questions.
One fellow shouted next to his ear and the question had him interested.
"As Ladybird, do you plan on releasing more songs !?" Oh, that would be a dream for Douma. Her natural voice being enhanced by background music would be amazing to hear.
His songbird hears the question but the answer comes from the one with the red color palette. She and the one beside her remind him of the courtesans of the Entertainment District.
Daki would say they were the fakest of them all and he would agree.
He also would have eaten them.
"Kotoha-chan would be busy recording more songs for Birds of Paradise." Her sickly answer was not what he wanted to hear. This was Kotoha's time and not her undeserving band mates.
—
Hakuji rolls his eyes, watching the interview go down, Koyuki snuggles into his side. Their Tv showed every little expression Kotoha was making each time it went back to her. She had only answered one or two questions in the last five minutes. She was on her second water bottle and Hakuji's leg was jumping.
"She's going to pass out."
—
The lights were bright.
That's what Kotoha noted and stands up, stepping back, not registering anything as her hand finds the wall. Security is looking back, already moving.
Words were muted and lights were a blur.
"OI, Who are you?!" Darkness consumes her vision for a moment and she wakes to the flashing lights of cameras.
—
Hakuji is spitting out his drink as Koyuki quickly finds her phone and starts recording everything.
—
The livestreams on social media were already going crazy with the interview but now a new player has arrived.
A man with glorious platinum blonde hair and wearing sunglasses inside.
WHO WAS THIS MAN THAT HAD CAUGHT LADYBIRD?
—
"Don't worry Kotoha-chan, I got you." The lights were still too much and she hides in the red shirt. Her shoulders shake and she hears Maki asking them to move.
Her waist is grabbed and she continues to hide well past the interview room, hearing security push back the crowd.
When they are led to the waiting room is when she finally pulls away and she couldn't help but choke. There Douma was standing before her, perfectly fine, not a burn on him.
He opens his arms for her and she gladly falls into them, crying her heart out and letting herself be held.
"Who are you? How did you get in?" Maki demands her hand already raised with her phone. This was supposed to be a private event.
Hanako and Riko were gawking, watching as this devilishly handsome and fit man hold their reserved and boring idol mate.
Was he single?
Hanako was quick to start a live stream and many people hop on having desperately searched for the ongoing action.
—
Hakuji nearly broke his phone, watching the stream and seeing the man that still held his best friend grin in Maki's direction.
—
Douma leans down for a moment, apologizing and whispering more into Kotoha's ear. Her face would be red for a moment before she nods, shyly hiding and letting him grin back at her manager.
The wolf in sheep's clothing summits his spot as a sheep in the herd by saying what he was. Taking off his glasses, making many gush over him immediately with his eyes.
But his smile was real for he has gained a new title.
"I'm Kotoha's boyfriend." He was bold and wouldn't back down.
"Eh?!" Hanako and Riko scream.
—
Social media started trending and making some crash by the traffic of people swarming to know what's going on.
—
Hakuji breaks his phone, something about those eyes made his blood boil.
Koyuki was already blowing up Kotoha's phone, demanding to know who was this man truly was and if he had any hair tips.
—
Haggard breathing could be heard as a weak man browses through the many channels. Same boring news and nothing to note.
"In today's news, a startling development-" The man would pause on the channel as footage plays with a pause zoom in on the subject in question.
He knew those eyes.
How can he forget those eyes?
A hand curls in white sheets as a glare is directed to Douma.
Douma is here in the big city and boy has he made a splash with many.
You wouldn't guess where this goes next.
--
Thoughts?
Who do you think appeared at the end?
