DiMENSIONS [IDOLiSH7]

07: Progression

-Silica-

"What?"

Tenn stopped dancing when he noticed he was being stared at by the young student before him. Iori could not be blamed. Tenn's movements were beautiful and flowing so nicely that it would be rude not to watch.

Iori coughed to regain his composure. "Sorry, your dance was great..." He then picked up his pencil and pretended to resume working when his mind was everywhere else.

"Why thank you," Tenn smiled lightly before continuing to dance for a while longer. Perhaps it was a good start to his 'idol' career.

"Re:vale"

"Huh?" Tenn looked at Iori in confusion when the boy suddenly said a strange word during dinner.

"Nii-san used to listen to them a lot. Maybe you will like them." Iori then asked Kinako to play their latest hit song, 'Mikansei na bokura'. Instantly, Tenn came to love that song. He asked Kinako to repeat it, and already, he started singing along. Iori was just putting food in his mouth when he had to slow down as he noticed Tenn's voice was also as angelic as his dance.

"You... are talented, Nanase-san."

Tenn blushed at hearing a compliment from a guy who did not seem like the type to be easily impressed. "T-thank you." Tenn had never gotten much praise. He appreciated Iori's comment.

Tenn walked into a dimly lit bar, almost knocking into a large pillar in the middle of the place since his left eye could not see. He was not used to estimating distance with one eye yet. The boy kept walking to the counter where Ryuu was working as a bartender. A man with shoulder-length blue hair and another with short silverish hair were talking with Ryuu. Since it was pretty early for clubbing, there were no other customers.

"Ah, Tenn-kun!" Ryuu waved to Tenn as soon as he noticed the pink eyes. The brunette smiled and introduced the two men. "This is Ogami Banri-san and this is Yuki-san. Together, they are the famous idol duo, Re:vale!"

Tenn's eyes widened when he heard that name. He really liked their songs and spent his evening listening to their album. "Kujou Tenn. Nice to meet you both." Ryuu proceeded to explain that Tenn 'got into an accident' recently and 'lost all his memory'. He was not a good liar, so he turned his back to Yuki and Banri, pretending to wipe some wine glasses. Only Iori knew about Tenn's blindness, so it was not revealed.

"Fufufu, how bold. Wanting to step into a cruel business world without any memories." Yuki turned around and looked at Tenn with a neutral face. "My advice, forget about it."

Tenn was taken aback. He frowned. "Yuki! Be nice." Banri looked at his partner disapprovingly. "Sorry, Tenn-kun, Yuki is not very good at talking. He did not mean-"

"Oh, but I did." Yuki cut Banri off.

Tenn was not the type to be affected by those words. Maybe a little, but he was used to it. "Well then, why don't I show you what I can do?" Tenn smiled to indicate that he accepted the challenge from Yuki.

The magic user stepped backwards to find a large space. He signalled Ryuu to put some music on. Then, he began dancing. Yuki seemed disinterested at first, but soon he leaned forward to watch every move. Ryuu and Banri were in awe, just like Iori from last night.

"Hmph." Yuki took a sip from his cocktail. He finally smiled. "Isn't that great?" It was a real compliment. Banri then told Tenn he would need to keep an eye out on the internet for auditions. The four were chatting happily. Night came and the club got busy before they knew it.
