A/N: Thank you so much for requesting this, I enjoyed writing it even though I had to rewrite many parts. Anyway, I hope I did my best boy justice with this one shot... (I hope he isn't ooc haha...)

You look up from your papers to glance at your blond upperclassman. You watch him fiddle with his fingerless gloves and tug at his leather jacket.

A while ago, there was a job request for a bad boy themed photoshoot from a well known magazine. The request was originally for Undead, however due to their busy schedules they declined the offer, so you decided to offer the job to Ra*bits and that's what led to today.

Currently, Hajime, Tomoya, and Mitsuru are in the studio. Nazuna has yet to be called out, so he was alone in the dressing room with you.

Figuring your upperclassman was nervous, you offer a smile, "Nii-chan, I'm sure you guys will be fine, don't worry too much!"

A smile tugged at the corners of his mouth. "I know... I just can't help it, my kids really are good boys~ so trying to be the 'bad guy' may be tough for them..."

Typically, Ra*bits always dressed in colourful costumes and had a cute image. No one would have guessed that they would do such a photoshoot. But after seeing how they look today, you were convinced their fans would love this concept.

You could tell your upperclassman was still nervous. You get up from your seat to move closer to the blond. His gaze rose to look at you as you pat his shoulder.

"No, I shouldn't think that, I'm sure they can pull this off. Perhaps this photoshoot will allow the kids to try a different and more mature concept~ plus give them more experience!" The blond sighed, "Sooner or later they'll grow taller, become more mature and I won't be there to guide them along and fuss about them. They won't be small cute animals forever."

Twisting his earring, the older male laughs to himself, "It makes me feel so happy to see how far Ra*bits has come."

He looks at himself in the dressing room mirror. "Well, them aside, I'm worried about myself as well. I really don't think I'm suited for this kind of 'cool' image..."

You study your upperclassman. It's true that rather than 'cool', people tended to call the male 'cute'. Some would even go as far as to say he looked like a girl. When you first met Nazuna, you had thought the same, thinking that Nazuna was adorable.

But as you spent more time with him you began to see another side of him. Worrying over you, helping you with work even if he was just as busy, walking you home, making sure you ate all three meals, he always looked out for you.

You realised he wasn't just your cute older brother figure who took care of you, he was your cool, mature and reliable upperclassman who always has your back.

You don't know when it started but you think you like him. Not as a brother figure.

"Anzu~ hellooo, Anzu you there?" the blond leans in closer, waving his hand in front of your face.

You suddenly blink, regaining your senses.

"Did you sleep late last night? How many times must I tell you to take better care of yourself? After this shoot, please go back home and rest well!" the older male huffed, revealing his protective older brother side.

"I was just thinking..." your gaze shifted away from his reddish-pink eyes to the floor.

You suddenly remember your previous thought. I think I like him. Not as a brother figure. You feel your face heat up. No no no no no, don't think about this now, focus on the things at hand.

"Anzu, you sure you're feeling alright? If you feel unwell just tell Nii-chan alright?" he leans in closer, putting his hands on your shoulders.

You lean back. "Y-yeah I will..."

Knock knock

Both your heads turned to the door. The blond tilted his head in question as you move towards the door to answer it. A man holding a clipboard peered in, "Nazuna-san we'll need you at the studio in about 5 minutes, please get ready."

The blond smiled and nodded politely, acknowledging the message. The door closes and he shot his gaze back at you.

You notice the slight panic in his eyes. Without thinking, you walk up to him and grab his hands, giving them a quick squeeze, "Nii-chan, have some faith in yourself, show your children in Ra*bits how cool you can be!"

"Tanksh Anzhu, urm I'mm shtumbring aren'tt I (thanks Anzu, er I'm stumbling aren't I)" the male stuttered, his lisp coming through.

Processing the situation and the close proximity to the blond, you immediately release the shorter male's hands. "Oh- er... I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable back there..." you chuckle nervously, awkwardly scratching your cheek in embarrassment.

You try to increase the distance between yourself and the male by stepping back, hoping the awkward air will disappear. However in your haste, you trip on the corner of the carpet on the floor, losing your balance.

Just as you were about the fall backwards, you feel a pair of hands grabbing your arms, pulling you forward. Still feeling off balance due to the sudden change of direction, you held onto the older male's shirt for support.

"Arr yew ohkay? (are you okay)"

You breathe shakily, "Yeah..." you could feel your cheeks growing warmer as you clear your throat and step backwards to put distance between him and you. Carefully this time.

Ahh... I can't handle this other 'cool' side of him, saving me like that...

"Nazuna-san please make your way to the studio," you hear a voice from behind the door interrupting your thoughts.

You watch as your upperclassman takes in a deep breath and smiled at you, "I'll do my best, you'll see how cool your Nii-chan can be~"

The older male takes a final glance at himself in the mirror, before making his way to the door and waving to you. Idiot Nii-chan, I already think you're cool.
