When they talk in Japanese I'm going to italicize the words :)

"Su-chan, we have five minutes!" Riho called to her friend. "Hurry up!"

"Agh, I know, my zipper is stuck! I'll be right there, just give me a minute," Suzuka replied, her arm stuck at an awkward angle trying to fix her little problem.

"Do you need some help?" a voice asked her. Suzuka didn't recognize the foreigner when she turned around, but she was taking all the help she could get.

Su realized she was staring- the stranger was... very attractive, to say the least. "Yes, thank you," she said and turned around, blushing.

"I'm (y/n), by the way. I don't know if you heard, but I'm your new wardrobe assistant," the stranger said.

"Oh... I'm Su-metal, nice to meet you! We will have... uh... good time together!" Su cringed at her English- at least she got her point across.

(Y/n) giggled and motioned for her to join Moametal and Riho. She awkwardly smiled back and jogged over to the two younger girls.

"Did you guys see my new wardrobe assistant? They were literally so cute, I totally blacked out-" Su was shushed by Moametal and Riho; "Future Metal" had started to play. The crowd went crazy, and Babymetal walked on stage.

The next day, Suzuka came up with an experiment. About an hour before the show she "accidentally" created a tiny rip in her skirt. She wasn't trying to appear sexy or anything, but the rip was big enough that (y/n) noticed it right away.

"Oh, Su-metal! You have a rip in your dress!" they exclaimed. Su pretended to be surprised.

"Oh no, we should fix that!" Su said. (Y/n) agreed and took Suzuka to her and Moa's changing area.

"Here, sit down. I'll sew it back together, it's gonna look good as new," (y/n) said, pulling out their sewing kit and leaning down to the tear.

"You seem a little nervous, (y/n). Is everything okay?" Su raised an eyebrow, slightly amused but also curious.

"Oh, well yeah. First of all, I'm nervous I'm gonna mess up this sewing, but mainly you just make me nervous," they grinned.

"I make you nervous? Why?"

"You're like- a metal icon! Not to mention I had the biggest crush on you..." they said. They didn't seem embarrassed at all, so Suzuka controlled her butterflies.

"Had?" Su said in mock offense.

"Ah, that came off wrong," (y/n) laughed. "Well, still have."

This time Suzuka was not able to control her butterflies.

"Oh, well I'm flattered. Idols aren't aloud to date, though," Su scratched behind her head. She wished she didn't have to be painted as this picture perfect Idol with no life outside of Babymetal.

"Oh, no, I'm sorry- I wasn't trying to ask you out or something-" (y/n) stuttered.

"It's okay, I know you weren't. I just wanted to let you know," Su assured them.

The two sat in silence until (y/n) announced that they had finished. "There, see? Good as new," they admired their work.

"Thank you so much, I appreciate it," Su said. She smiled and started to walk away, unsure how to end the conversation.

"Yeah, no problem... Oh, and Su?" (y/n) asked, smiling. Suzuka turned around. "Next time you want to talk to me, you don't have to rip your own dress." (Y/n) winked.

Suzuka was embarrassed but also felt those butterflies come back again... she really hoped she wasn't catching feelings for (y/n).

How was that 😃 I'm probably gonna make a second part to this but I'm tired right now
