-Silica-

Preparations were going incredibly well for Tenn's first live concert. President Anesagi was confident that Tenn was definitely her best weapon to charm the people of Silica with the power of music. Yuki, as usual, had a way of speaking too bluntly and honestly. It pissed some people in the preparation team off, but his manager power enabled him to have some authority. He might have been a tad too low in spirits. Fortunately, it did not hinder his ability to work, and he met Tenn's expectations.

However, on the day of the concert, Tenn had fallen sick.

"Tenn-kun, you are not performing in that state." Yuki narrowed his eyes. The aspiring idol was lying on the dressing room couch. His head was spinning due to a high fever.

"But I am," Tenn protested. "My fans are already waiting in the hall. We can't send them home and disappoint them. You know that better than anyone else, Yuki-san."

Iori was, without a doubt, part of the audience. It would be inappropriate for Tenn not to give his whatever-relationship-status-they-were-on guy a ticket. Even if he did not, Iori would certainly buy one. We all know that Iori was Tenn's biggest fan.

With two pink, shining light sticks in his hands, Iori was ready to shake them to the rhythm of Tenn's catchy songs, but he knew Tenn did not seem well this morning. Concern filled his mind when Tenn should have stepped on the stage two minutes ago.

Iori was woken up from his train of thought the instant the hall went dark and the intro music started playing.

Can you feel my heart? Can you feel my dream?

Tenn appeared in the middle of the stage, slowly from below. Even though it was his first live concert, all the tickets sold out. It showed how talented and charming Tenn was that he managed to capture at least a thousand people's hearts in a relatively short time.

A smile appeared on Iori's blushed face as Tenn sang and danced beautifully, like a prince in a castle ballroom, except his dance was more energetic and free. The experience felt like a dream for Iori. He could not be happier or more proud of having played a part in taking Tenn this far.

Iori was glad to have Tenn in his life.

Fate was not always so kind, unfortunately. Tenn felt a strong wave of dizziness hit him halfway through his performance. The magic user kept pushing through, so no one saw that his dance was becoming more sloppy and his steps, more wobbly.

Those little mistakes could never escape Iori's analytic gaze and Yuki's sharp eyes.

He's about to collapse. Yuki was about to order some staff to put a break in the middle to save Tenn when all of a sudden, Tenn was dancing fine again. ...What?

Tenn himself was surprised by it as well. Just now, he spun around and thought he was going to fall. The idol felt some force preventing his body from hitting the hard ground. Even though it bothered him, he welcomed the magical help for the sake of entertaining his fans. He let his hands and legs follow the guidance of the force, to the point where he hardly needed to think about which dance move to do next.

Yuki narrowed his eyes. In his head, he was thinking there was something suspicious going on. Banri's death made him more observant and, at times, worried over little things. So far, that mysterious something seemed to be helping Tenn. Yuki decided not to act just yet.
