After a tedious day at school, Sou hurried to the entertainment on his bicycle. He parked it nearby and rushed into the building...A thud was heard as Sou fell onto the ground and rubbed his head. Looking up he saw, his long-time partner in the endless discrimination issue,Marius.
"Oh Sou-chan!Gomen! " The taller boy reached out his hand over to Sou.
"Iie..I am fine." Sou beamed a smile and almost immedietly stood up ,disregarding Marius's help.
"How is your schedule today?" Marius pouted while nudging Sou's shoulder.
"..The usual. " Sou said but kept masking his pain with a smile.
"Sou-chan..I'm glad you're by my side." Marius smiled.
"Well without Marius I'd be lost, I'm thankful too." Sou nudged Marius's shoulder playfully then ran.
"Come back here Sou-chan!" Marius giggled and followed the shorter boy who ran fast into the practice room.
"Those two are so close as usual, it makes me happy looking at them!" one of the staff blurted.
"They're like a couple sometimes.."
The staff members laughed loudly as they had their usual afternoon chatter alongside their lunch and cup of tea.
In the practice room however, a tension filled atmosphere, drenched the surroundings.
Nakajima-Kikuchi-Sato have their Jacket shooting for Kimi ni Hitomebore,so they weren't in this scene with Marius and Sou.
Fuma was posing almost naturally to every single picture.In contrast to the chaos that filled up his thoughts,he maintained his cool as usual.
"As cool as ever! " The photographer remarked while the remainders of the shutter's amplified noises echoed in Fuma's ears.
"Azassu.." Fuma replied ever so casually, the lights still chasing his eyes with their flickers.
Shori and Kento were at the side, each busy with the tasks they had been assigned for the day.Fuma sighed and moved his tongue in mouth, seemingly bothered.
"They can act it out well..I envy them.." Fuma mumbled as he looked over at Shori and Kento, gulping in his second bottle of water.
Meanwhile,Marius and Sou were practicing with their subgroups - Sexyshow (Sou Genta Kaito) and Sexyboyz (Marius Genki Jinguji)
"It feels lonely without those three.." Marius sulked as he continued matching up to the dance steps.
"It certainly does..that is why,we need to do our best to catch up with them!" Sou pushed himself forward by dancing faster to the rhythm. His cold sweat dripped from his now drenched hairstrands, tickling his cheeks. The Charisma that kid had, sure was influencial. Since, not even for a second would he stop when learning a dance. He would push forward until he was nearly out of breath. That way, Sou forgot his worries, as he visualized an upcoming success and acknowledgement. He also visualized the smiles of his ever so loving fans and that alone, embraced his heart with warmth.Just by looking at him , Marius felt challenged and tried his best to catch up along with his groupmates.
"Sasuga Sou-chan!" Marius said as he began catching up.
"You're one to talk! Sugoi mo Mari!" Sou looked at Marius and lifted a thumb up. However, at this very second Sou did a wrong move. A loud thud was heard.He had twisted his leg and fell hard.
"Eh?! Sou-chan?!" Marius's eyes widened ,immediately kneeling down and looking at Sou worriedly.
" N.." Sou flinched and bit his lower lip in pain. "I'm fi-ARGH!" Not being able to handle the pain any longer, Sou groaned and closed his eyes tight.
"Ah mou..what do I do..." Marius looked at Jinguji and Genki who were by then taking their break but failed to get out the right words from his mouth because of panicking. He kept looking back and forth from their direction to Sou's ,clueless. "Mou! Why am I so useless at such times?! " Marius, unable to think of anything, just hugged Sou close and patted his back. "Daijoubu..I'm here..I'll get help.." he whispered over to the shorter guy ,gingerly.
On the other side, however, the members were just leaving the premises of where their set shooting was at.
"Otsukaresama deshita! Wonderful work everyone! " The staff members clapped and praised the three as they finished all the work regarding that single. Kento,Shori and Fuma bowed and left the set.
"Na..I sort of forgot something at the practice room in the Jimusho's main building..you two go ahead alright?" Fuma said as he looked at Kento and Shori.
"Seriously?Don't be late then Fuma!" Kento said.
"No need to wait for me ! It's fine!" Fuma ran the opposite side.
"That guy.." Kento sighed.
"Are you two close enough these days? I don't see-"Kento interrupts Shori's words with a laugh. He didn't want to talk about that. I mean, things were already tense enough and he just didn't want to add to the tension. Being the two elder members, they frequently clashed. That fact by now, was really clear to Shori.
"Don't imagine things Shori! Everything is fine" Kento assured. Leaving those two behind, Fuma ran off into the practice room. The truth though, is that Fuma hadn't forgotten anything but was too embarrassed to show his real feelings to Kento and Shori. He was too embarrassed to tell them that he wanted to see Sou and Marius because he missed them and that he didn't want them to go back home alone either. Barging into the room hurriedly he looked around but to his surprise, saw no one.
"Eh? The hell." Fuma was puzzled.They were supposed to be there till 7pm from what he had been told.He glanced a look at his watch which still marked 4pm. "That's odd.."
"Sou!! Stop it!" Marius's yells rang into Fuma's ears, triggering him to follow their direction. Following those yells , Fuma had finally found both of Marius and Sou. He ran to them only to find Sou dancing with such a distressed expression , and real heavy unusual steps. "What's happening here?!" Fuma distrupted the silence.
"I told Sou I'd take him to the doctor when he had twisted his ankle..but he won't listen to me Fuma-kun! He is pushing himself while repeating , the phrase.."I will show you I can do it." " Marius protested.
"HA?" Fuma angrily diverts his view at Sou.
"We've been trying for long to stop him..it was futile!" Genki blurts out. Fuma, filled with turmoil , carried Sou forcefully.
"Stop..it.." Sou weakly mumbled.
" Baka ka? If Matsushima gets hurt, I wouldn't forgive myself." After saying those words,Fuma held sou closer.Sou's heart kept beating despite the pain. That kidness, that scent..he was ashamed that he wanted all of it to himself. "Fuma..stop."
"Urusai."
"I said stop.." Sou paused.
"You're asking for the impossible." Fuma sternly looked over at Sou as he carried him into the corridor.
Silence filled the corridors , till the only noise that rang in Sou's ears was that of his heartbeats.
"I said stop.." Sou resumes.
"This guy..I said I-!! " Fuma replies, and suddenly gets interrupted.
"Stop making me fall for you..."
