Sky & HE★VENS

Shy Kitten

"Over here! It's right over here, you dumb rabbit!" Yamato lightly slapped the Watanabe mascot on its head to get its attention, holding one of the ears that the person inside it lost.

Without much effort, he stuck it back on its head. After a while though, it fell back off.

"Well, you can either glue that or be an earless rabbit until the event ends." Yamati muttered, snickering. The others joined in the laughter as Kira shook his head. He went to get some tape and fixed the ear as best he could, earning a hug from the rabbit. The customers at the store, who were also fans of the 18 idols, had miniature heart attacks.

"That could've been the cutest thing to ever appear on a magazine." Hikari commented with a small smile. "Don't tell Nagi I said that."

"It's not like he could disagree." Eiichi replied with a shrug. "But knowing him, he probably will anyway."

"Little tsundere." Hikari giggled at the thought.

Behind her, Syo was still burning holes through the brunette's back. He still couldn't believe the two are dating, much less approve of it. Heck, they even went passed dating already. They're engaged. But something deep inside him said that they will be happy together, so he didn't press on the subject any further, no matter how much he wanted to. And he really wanted to.

As time flew by, customers began to fled and by the evening, the stall was nearly empty. Closing hours are only minutes away and the rest of them had finally showed up.

"Nagi-chan! Nice to see you again!" Natsuki exclaimed, running over to hug the shorter boy.

"You again..." At this point, Nagi had given up on avoiding the blonde. He let himself get picked up and carried to the back of the store where everyone else is.

"This is a rare occassion, isn't it?" Otoya said, surprised. "All 14 of us together... We usually only end up like this in lives and tv shows." After that one sentence, the whole room exploded in chatter between the boys.

However, it soon died when Masato raised his voice. "Where are Sorano and Otori Eiichi?"

They looked around for a tall brunette and a taller-than-Syo-sized black haired girl. Syo himself spotted them rounding a corner and hurriedly told the others before dashing off to catch up to them. Rounding that same corner, he spotted them way ahead of him, heading out of the park. What are those two up to... He thought angrily. He knows this isn't jealousy, he likes Nanami after all. Perhaps he was just being protective, after all, Natsuki liked her quite a lot. If something were to happen to her, Natsuki will be upset. And when he's upset, Syo has every right to be angry.

Then he stopped when he spotted them just a little bit away from him, by a shooting gallery booth. The others caught up soon after and watched the two a long with him.

"You suck at this."

"It's my first time playing!"

Hikari held the cork gun and aimed for one of the doll prizes. She pulled the trigger but the cork missed the target, a white cat plush. She sighed. "Okay, I give up. You go." She pushed the gun to Eiichi and the older male smirked.

He took off his glasses and folded them. "Watch and learn." Putting them down, he aimed for the plush and shot at it, knocking it down. "See? It's not the eyes. It's just you." Then he put on his glasses again and gave the owner his cork gun back. Taking the plush, he handed it to Hikari as she grumbled.

"It's not like I wasn't trying..."

"Well in my defense, this was your idea."

"Because it looks so cute!"

"So then why are you mad at me? I got it after all."

"For the love of..." She pouted and nibbled on the back of the cat's head. "... Thanks."

"No problem. So now are you gonna eat that thing or-"

"We're heading back to the hotel." She said, forcefully pushing him to where their car is. She was too flustered to even notice the other 13 that were watching them, but Eiichi did. He sent them a smirk before pushing himself off of her and dragging her back himself.

Cecil turned to his friends. "What was that about?"

Van opened his mouth to respond, but was cut off by Ren. "I think we all know what that was about. Especially seeing as how the little... angel is never anywhere without the older Otori brother."

"Jinguji. We are not playing your games." Masato said with a sigh.

"Hijirikawa-san... I don't think he's playing." Tokiya called as he watched Eiichi helping Hikari into the car before smirking their way again and entering.

"W-what?" The blue haired male flushed. "T-then those two are..."

"Eiichi and Sora are dating." Kira stated bluntly.

Tokiya and Masato's jaws dropped.

"Engaged would be a more accurate way of putting it." Shion continued.

Cecil's joined them.

~~~~~

Sitting on one of the back seats, Hikari let out a satisfied sigh. She played with the ears on top of the cat plush and hummed happily. Eiichi sat beside her, peeking curiously to the front, making her wonder what he was looking at.

Leaning on the side of his body, she too peered around the seats in front of them to see. She found the rest of the 13 boys, bidding each other good night as they flood into their own cars.

Eiji took the seat beside them. He glanced at them with an apologetic smile and then faced forward again. She knew what that meant. There's no hiding from the seven of them now.

~~~~~

The next day was their final day there. The final day of the race, meaning the final day that stall is going to stand. In which case, it meant that this is the last chance for fangirls to see their favorite idols up close and personal.

Kira, Yamato and Natsuki were grateful for the help that their friends offered to them, but were also sligtly wary because the more idol boys that stay there, the more crowded it was going to be.

One thing's for sure. They made a mental note to make sure to decline Eiichi whenever he offers to help. They know for a fact that he needed more of a break than anyone else does. They also did their best to avoid Hikari's offers, though in the end, she spent most of the time answering the many questions the rainbow-themed idols had for her instead of spending time with Eiichi.

She didn't mind. She was happy to tell them about their relationship. It was embarrassing at first, but eventually, she got used to openly saying it to them. And she couldn't be any more proud of herself for doing so.
