Sky & HE★VENS

Cinnamon Angel

Hikari stood still in their dressing room. "This is what you wear when they take photos of you?!" Her eyes sparkled as she stared at the blue and white mix of their outfits.

Van chuckled. "It's the same outfit we wore for the SSS concert."

"Really?!" She tried to imagine them on stage and her eyes only glittered more excitedly.

"For this photoshoot though," Eiji began. "we're only taking pictures with the shirt, so we can leave our coats, or vests, aside."

She watched as each of them took their own outfits, then hurriedly left the room when Eiichi began to tease her for staying. She waited for them at where the snacks are and soon enough, they came in.

They took their personal photos first, in the order their solos were released. Shion hid a smile behind a bird plushie he's using for a prop. Yamato had his cocky grin as he lifted up actual weights. Van posed with a peace sign and a wink. Eiji held a bouquet of multi-colored flowers and made it look like he was giving it to someone behind the camera. Nagi sat down and made himself look like he was playing with a bunch of teddy bears. Kira had a mic and posed as if he was singing on stage. Eiichi held a small gift box out and smiled sweetly at the camera.

Then it was time for their group picture. They tried a formal look at first, but when they noticed their outfits weren't a good match for that, they went for something more loose and friendly. Eiichi made his move and slinged his left arm around Kira's neck and used his right to pat Eiji's head. Kira reacted naturally to it and smiled while Eiji went to hug Nagi. Nagi smiled back at him and held his arms. Yamato bent down so Shion can get on top of him, being held by Van.

The staff seemed to like this and immediately began to take pictures. Their casual looks were a lot beter than their stiff ones. They all looked very happy doing whatever they're doing.

When it was done, everyone went to change back to their casual outfits. They all said their thanks to the staff and left the studio in the limo. Hikari's eyes were still sparkling even when they got home.

"You sure love us, don't you, Hikari?" Nagi asked nudging her side.

"Yes! A thousand times, yes!" She can't help but tackled the younger boy. "You guys are amazing! You look so good! Everything about you guys are good! Heck, not just good! You're all flippin' amazing!"

".. Is it safe to say that Eiichi has influenced her too much?" Shion asked. Not just him, but they all noticed how many 'good's she had said in a single breath.

"Deffinitely safe." Yamato replied.

"Seconded." Van nodded.

"Thirded!" Nagi added.

"Am I seriously that bad?" Eiichi glanced at Hikari, Eiji and Kira for an answer. The three could only shrug, sending the leader into a corner, sulking. No one ever apologized.

The rest of the day went by just like any other day. Some would leave for another job, others stick around to pass the time. Hikari got a sudden call to go right after dinner and when she got back, the lounge room's lights were off.

It's almost 11. They must be getting ready for bed. She went up to her room and was surprised to see that Eiichi wasn't there. Admittedly, she had gotten used to sleeping with him everyday, so tonight would feel quite different.

Should she go over and see what he's doing in his room? Nah, that'll just bother him... She layed down on her bed with a sigh. She stared blankly at the side of her bed. It does feel strange. She closed her eyes as she hugged the pillow he used.
