Rise Kujikawa x Male!Idol!Reader (P4)

"Good work on the photo shoot, now we have to go meet someone for a joint advertisement, and then-"

You unconsciously tuned out of the conversation, trying to hold backs. Yawn. It wasn't that you found it a bother or anything, this was the live you chose after all and you were happy to be where you were... But goodness were you exhausted! Sitting in the car was beginning to be the only rest you got between jobs and dance lessons. 

Your manager glanced at you from the mirror for a moment, calling you. "Are you listening?"

"Mhm, yeah." You replied, wiping your watery eyes from when you had yawned. "I'm meeting up with another idol, right?"

"That's right, she's decided to have a comeback, so we'll be helping her by joining her in an advertisement."

"I see..." You mumbled. Well, it shouldn't be too bad. You hoped it was an advertisement for food or something, then you could get samples. 

Before you could take advantage of the car ride and take a nap, your manager stopped and the familiar sound of the door opening woke you up fully. 

You got out, looking up at the building. It was easy to tell at first glance that it wasn't just some regular one, and the inside told you that as well as you followed your manager through the seemingly endless halls. 

"Ah, here it is." They said aloud, opening the door. "Mr. Inoue!"

A man in a suit looked up from a notebook, raising his hand in a wave. "You're here." His gaze flickering to you, he slightly bowed his head. "You must be L/n-san, also known as Y/n, right? It's nice to meet you."

"You too, thanks for having me." You returned the politeness, and nodded your head. Mr. Inoue proceeded to tell you the schedule. Unfortunately it wasn't a food advertisement, much to your disappointment, but rather own for jewellery.

He checked his watch. "She should be finishing up soon, so you can get dressed. There's a changing room over there."

You gave your thanks, following his direction. As you walked your mind wandered to who the other idol could be. You were so busy with your own work that you didn't know the latest news, but your manager mentioned it was someone making a comeback... 

After into the rather formal clothes given to you as well as having your hair done up and the like, you returned to the main area. The bright lights had been set up during your time away, and already a headache was beginning to form. 

Mr. Inoue wasn't far from it all, talking to a girl with long brown hair. He saw you from the corner of his eyes and beckoned you over, pushing up his glasses.

"Ah, there you are." He gestured to you with an open palm, turning to the girl. "Rise, this is Y/n L/n, he'll be joining you for this." 

She looked over to you, a friendly aura coming off of her as she smiled. "Thank you for working with me."

Being caught up in staring at her face, your response was delayed. "Oh, uh, yeah. Thank you too."

Mr. Inoue continued to talk, leaving you to internally kick yourself. 'Rise', huh... So it was her. 

Someone by the camera called your names, forcing you out of your thoughts.

Hearing that, the two of you made your way to the set. 

Rise seemed to notice your less-than-enthusiastic mood. "Long day, I'm guessing?"

You contemplated covering it up, but you were sure it would be pointless. "... Yeah. I'm just getting used to all this idol stuff."
