It was yet another show, another day of work, another day of doing what we love. But then it wasn’t like any other day now, is it? I caught him staring at me from the corner of his eyes as he moved towards Uruha, his arm looping around Uruha’s waist to the delight of screaming fans. Whenever our eyes meet, he will offer a nervous grin, my own reflecting his. I snuffled the soft sigh from releasing as I kept the beat, eyes on the said confusing person. After his revelation yesterday, we are again at static point.

Soon the show came to an end, me sitting at the edge of the stand of which my drums are set up on, watching the crowd, watching the rest of the members throwing guitar picks, towels, bottles, anything that they get their hands on to the eager crowd below. A cheeky grin was offered by Aoi as he poised a countdown with his fingers. As he reached one, a loud bang was heard as glittery sparklers flew over the crowd, showering them with gold, silver and metallic. Reita sat down next to me, nudging me with his elbow as we stared out at the crowd together.

“Tired?”

I nodded, my limbs feeling like jelly.

“Together?”

I shrugged, even that slight motion sent pain down my spine. He gave me this look that made me think that he knows more than he had let out. Before I could ask further, Uruha jubilantly pulled him to his feet, dragging Reita with him to the front where they started waving to the fans. I caught sight of a stray sparkler hanging at the edge of the stage. The lone sparkler somehow made my stomach churn. How many of the fans had reached for those sparklers tonight, taken it back with them as memento? How long would they stay a fan of us before they replace us with someone new? How much of my relationship with Ruki resembled this cruel relationship between fans and idols?

Warm palms on my cheek drew my attention back to the present, Ruki standing in front of me with unreadable eyes. I could vaguely hear the screams of the fans grew louder before it was blanked out by my shocked mind. All I could hear now was the thundering of my own heartbeat. All I could feel now was the tentative unsure kiss that he pressed on mine. When he pulled away, my eyes fluttered open to meet his soft ones. The chaste kiss lasted for less than 5 seconds and we have memories of more passionate ones. But then this one was special. It felt like the first kiss we shared together under the stars that night.

“We have to talk”

He nodded as he joined a teasing Uruha and a knowing Reita at the front of the stage with Aoi playing it off as just another fan service that we do.
