Upside Down [Marius Yo Fanfiction]

Anon

It's been about a month since the incident with Fuma and Marius, and things have gotten much better between the two. Fuma has finally accepted Marius' forgiveness and although he's still a little less energetic than the Fuma everyone knows, he's still improved much more. Marius has unconsciously more clingy to me than usual as well. Shori thinks that he's still skeptical about Fuma loving me. But we all believe that things will improve for everyone soon enough.

In fact, it seems that I've begun to make a real career out of being Marius' soulmate. I've been packed every day with interviews, radio talks, and tv appearances with the media asking me all about my relationship with Marius. My Twitter has reached ten million followers already and my Instagram five million. A few modeling agencies have suggested recruiting me as well, but I'm not interested in a job where I have to maintain my body image for public distribution. Who knows what kind of people might be looking at those pictures. And besides, I'll only be tossed aside once this soulmate hype has died down.

Ring ring! Ring ring!

I put down my book and reach for my phone on the floor beside me. The home screen reads: Mom. I slide the screen and put the cold glass to my ear.

"Hi Mom."

"Rika! The airplane is leaving in thirty minutes. Are you sure you have everything?"

Mom and I's vacation time in Japan has finally ended, and the plane we intended to leave Japan on is scheduled to fly today. Of course, things have changed because I've met Marius. Mom and I discussed where I should be at a time like this, and seeing that Japan is in a huge commotion over my soulmate and I, I knew that leaving would just be wrong. So with a portion of the money that I've earned from my media appearances and the help of Sexy Zone, I've rented out an apartment on the floor below the five boys. I've also enrolled in a special online tutoring for foreign students, and I've texted all of my overseas friends about my move to Japan. My mom doesn't like the idea, but I suppose she understands my position better than anyone else. She'd moved to America for my dad, after all.

"I have everything Mom, I triple-checked, remember?" I remind her with a bored tone.

I hear a sigh from the other line, and a pang of guilt rushes through me. After only a month I've gone so far as to leave all of my friends and family in America for my soulmate. But something makes me feel as if I should stay, and that wherever Marius is is where I belong.

"I hope Marius takes good care of you. Let me know if you ever need anything, okay?"

"I will Mom. Call me when you land, okay?"

"Okay. Take good care of yourself."

"Bye Mom. I love you."

"Love you too sweetie."

I click the red button and end the call. I cover my face with both of my hands and give a deep sigh. I really hope that I'm doing the right thing by staying in Japan.

Perhaps a visit to the boys will make me feel better.

I clamber over to my big window and pull the blinds apart. I nearly rip off my pajama t-shirt and shorts. One of the perks of living alone is that I can walk around in just my bra and underwear whenever I want. I stretch my arms over my head and yawn, feeling the warm sun on my skin. It's not every day that I can just relax in an insanely luxurious apartment like this. Life is great being the soulmate of a celebrity.

I skip to the closet in my bedroom and pick out a random old t-shirt and a pair of shorts, and a pair of big, round sunglasses and a hat to cover myself with. I've become famous enough to the point that I have to put on a disguise whenever I go out in public too. I've seen the fingers pointing at me at times when I'm just buying food at a convenience store or walking down the street. I swing on my favorite little backpack and leave my apartment with a quick swipe of my key card.
