[CLOSED] Techi Short Stories

Moriya Akane

"Techi you don't look alright"
"Stop trying to act strong and sit out from today's performance!"

"Nen, i know what i am doing"
"If i suddenly sit out today, what will happen to the performance?"
"The special stage today will not be successful"

"Hirate Yurina!"

"We are not nothing without you!"
"The special stage can continue even without you!"

That left Techi speechless.
Those words came out from Akane, one of her most trusted members whom she always go to when she encounter any trouble.
Techi couldn't reply anymore and left the waiting room.

"Nen"
"You might want to rephrase yourself"
"What you said..."
"You will hurt her"
"You know it yourself"
"I know you are worried but don't you think that is too harsh?"

"Then what should i say Yuuka?"
"I talk to her nicely she ignores me"
"I have to do it the hard way then"

"You know that's not a solution"
"That kid is stubborn, everyone in the group knows it"
"What you can do now is to support her"

"Support her?!"
"Letting her go up the stage with such a high fever?"

"You can't stop her can you?"
"If you can't stop her then support her, be there if she falls"

"Yuuka, you don't understands"
"This is a live performance, there's not retake"
"If she falls, the whole performance is gone"

"I know"
"I understands"
"But you have to understand her as well"
"The pressure of being the center"
"The feeling of everything depending on her"
"That is making her stress enough"
"Making her sit out from this performance will just make it worse"
"Hey"
"Mona and Mon is down with cold as well""Are you going to make all 3 of them sit out?"

*sigh*
"Let's go get the kids and feed them some medicine"
"Sometime i feel like i'm their mom"

"You are, and i am their dad"
"All of them are our kids right?"
*laughs*

After the conversation, Sugai went to get some medicine for the members while Akane went around the place looking for Techi.

"There you are"
"Why are you sitting here"

"..."
"I am joining the performance whether you like it or not"

"Yes, you are joining the performance"

"Eh?!"
"Really?"
"You let me?!"

"You said it, you are joining whether i like it or not so do i have a choice?"
"I want you to promise me one thing"

"What?"

"Don't faint during the performance"
"Before going up, if you really cannot take it, leave it to us"

"Promise!"

"Don't promise me so easily if you cannot keep it"
"Come on, let's get back to the waiting room"
"Yuuka got you some medicines"

"Yes mama!"

During the performance Akane worriedly looked at Techi, she know she is not holding up well. With her heavy breathing and weak actions she know she might fall anytime soon.

*flashback*

Right before the performance Sugai called out to Akane

"Nen"

"Ah Yuuka why?"

"I know you are worried but remember this, if she falls everyone will be there to catch her"
"I promise to be the first to run over and catch her alright?

*flashback ends*

She knows she can trust Yuuka as her eye meet hers.

As the song continues to the final pose she was quite glad Techi is still holding up but she also know she have to get her off stage as soon as possible.
As the song ended and the camera get moved out of the formation she could hear Oda shouted

"Mon!"

Apparently Suzumoto fainted and everyone was rushing towards her, as Akane was about to run over to her as well she saw Techi was breathing heavily in the same position before her body finally gave up on her and fall sideways.

"Techi!" She immediately screamed

Sugai kept to her words and caught onto Techi unconscious body.

"Quick let's get them off stage!"

Everyone was rushing off stage carrying the fainted members and everything was a mess.
Akane didn't know she was crying until she felt Sugai wipe off her tears.

"Don't cry"

"I should have stop them from performing"
"If i stopped them that wouldn't happen"

"Nobody would have predicted it"
"Stop blaming yourself"

"But i'm their Vice captain"
"I should have been more careful"

"I'm the captain here"
"Listen to me nen"
"There's no time to blame yourself right now"
"We are their Captains and also their anchors"
"If both of us is freaking out right now"
"Who would be looking after them?"
"Stay strong for them"

Akane looked at Sugai in the eyes and she saw the confidence emitting from it and understands why she is the captain. Leaders need to know when to keep calm and deal with problems, that's a lot to learn for her and she know Sugai will be more than glad to teach her.

"I understand now"

"Good"
"Let's go back to the waiting room, the medic checked on them already and they are okay"
"They should be awake by now"

"Yes, let's go"

When they enter the room they saw Techi talking to Shida and both of them was laughing away with their conversation.

"Hirate Yurina!"

That cause Techi look over in fear as she saw Akane storm over to her.

"Nen..."
"I'm sorry..."

"Why are you apologising"
"Are you okay?"

"I thought you were about to scold me that's why"
"and i am okay already"

"What happen to not fainting during the performance?"
"You promised"

"I didn't faint during the performance!"
"I held on till the end!"
"You should be proud of me"

That made everyone in the room row their eyes at Techi cheekiness.

Akane can't help but smile at Techi reply.
She knows that at the end of the day, this fierce child of hers on stage will always be her baby behind the screen and Yuuka will always be there for her, be there for them.
