People seemed disappointed yet ready to get this over with.

"I... This was actually a lot of fun in the beginning. I actually enjoyed acting and working alongside with my friends... But, I can't imagine standing on that stage wearing something not made by my frie-- the incredibly talented person, Sam. So I won't. I know you all are incredibly talented and will make this a wonderful show. I can't wait to watch it on the big screens! Thank you for your time."

You didn't realize when you started crying. You just did. You wanted to say so much more.But it wasn't necessary. You aren't necessary anymore. So you are gone.

"Congratulations Sam I hope you are happy now." Rin said and then turned to Eunji," I hope you enjoyed that 15 minutes of fame over our friendship." Rin has always been such a sweet and kind person. For her to snap like that hurt Eunji. It's unfair. She should have been happy for Eunji. Why isn't she? Why is Sam crying? Where is Mark anyways?

As you do this weird shift between walking and crying. You hear a voice in the distance, calling for you--

"Ah! Oof!.. Mark?"  You get pulled by your forearm into a dark broom closet.
"Fuck no. It's Yato"
"Oh.... Oh wait! Is this the same closet you held me at gunpoint?! Here we are back again. Is this our anniversary??"
"That happened 4 months ago. Also not in this closet. It was the west end one. Much farther away from regular student traffic "
"Oh fuck. Like actually fucking chills down my spin. " Yato could feel the goosebumps of your skin against his skin. "Like you were actually planning on killing me if I didn't agree."
"Yes I was" Yato answered truthfully.

"Ri-right. Hmm! But oh well look how the turn tables-- no wait-- Does it ever drive you crazy just how fast the night changes? Everything that you have ever dreamed of. Disappearing when you wake up..."  You started singing out of nowhere  being the poster child of a theater kid,but at the last 2 lyrics your voice felt flat and saddened. You were trying your best to hide your pain and your big emotions. Yato could tell.
"But there's nothing to be afraid of. Even when the night changes.." 
Yato felt his cheeks grow warmer as you softly smiled at him.You couldn't really see his eyes much but he could see yours so clearly in this small dark spac-

"N/n (Nick/Name) can you hear me?

"Is that Mar--"
"Shut up." Yato said in a deep voice, one arm wrapping around your waist swiftly and the other palm forcing yours lip shut. You struggle out of reflex but your soft plum body couldn't win against his muscular one.

Mark walked by the broom closet, still calling your name and phone.

-

Mark never felt anxiety before in his life. This feeling is so horrendous. Is this how Satoshi feels all the time? Poor guy. F/n... Do you hate him now? Do you think he lied to you just like Sam did? But he didn't!-- It doesn't matter now. He just needs you to be okay.
" Please even if you hate me now, just let me know you are okay..."

..

"Yato what the fuck was that?!"
"Um.."
"I am leaving."
"Wait! No listen. I need you to talk to Shizou. Talk him into the performing. Otherwise this all will be for nothing, if we lose our main antagonist. I texted him earlier and he said he will be here in 5 mins"
And that was a very good lie Yato came up with on the spot to distract you from his behaviour. And it worked.

Yato texted Shizou now as you turned your back to him and left the closet. Yato knows from working with Shizou that it should take him about 4 minutes to get here. He just wanted to be the first to comfort for one last time; before he becomes officially Rin's. And he didn't want this beautiful moment to be ruined by some dumb fuckboy.

There Shizou is, at 3.5 mins
marked.

"F/n! Are you okay?"
" Fine..Hmm. yeah. "
" Alright." Shizou answered not convinced " How about we go for a ride then?Get some fresh air and food ? Maybe go back to my place..-- to play video games! I meant! "  He quickly added the last sentence with a blush.

"That sounds lovely. It truly does... But I need you to perform on that stage." You asked avoiding his eye. The soft smile fell from his face.
"But I can't-- how can I be on that stage without you?!"
Shizou desperately clung onto your arms which made you sigh sadly. You raise your arms high up and cup his cheeks gently, your fingers unintentionally pushed aside his side fringes revealing his other scarred eye.

"Shizou, I am sorry that things came to this point. I really tried my best to be on that stage-- our stage and perform with you and all my friends.I can't... But you still can! You can still perform."
" That's ridiculous! I don't want--" Your hand slipped from his cheek and as you place a finger on his slightly chapped lips. His fringe fell over his eyes hiding his pain.
"Please. Don't break my heart anymore. Please do it. For me. I promise I will repay you."

After a minute passes,Shizou just weakly nodded as you smiled politely.
"Thank you, Shizou. You are a sweetheart."

Shizou hated watching you go, leaving him behind. It hurt far more than he liked to admit. He hates how weak he is infront of you...for you. His brows furrowed as he checked his phone. Your phone is still here?
At almost superhuman speed,he grabbed the closet door and pulled it so hard that he almost tore it off the hinges, disfiguring it permanently.

Yato was shocked for a second " Wow cool it Romeo, don't let Juliet catch you in your alpha mode." Yato said in his usual dry sarcastic tone, raising his arm in fake surrender.
"Shut. The. Fuck. Up. Why do you have her phone?" Shizou snarled.
"Found it in the dressing room. Left behind so I picked it up. Aren't you glad I did?" Yato smirked smugly, presenting your phone to him,which he grabbed swiftly, gave Yato one last glare and left.

After making sure he left,Yato ran after you while calling Yuta. He stopped and hid when he saw Satoshi's bad posture back slightly hunched over you.
