glancing around nervously Coast clear. Listen, this whole act... it's messin' with me.
You mean your idol life? And your relationship with the band manager? I say not judging
Nah, not just that. I mean this whole charade we got goin' on. Playin' the lead guitarist while keepin' my heart locked away. It's tearin' me apart.
Can I ask you something personal?I look at you I am aware that you're an idol here
Lay it on me, babe. Shoot your shot. What do you wanna ask?
But everyone knows each other's role, right? The band manager uses you since he has feelings towards you, even though you despise him, and us...I get the feeling she was gonna use my real name instead of calling me lead guitarist or something like thatShinji....you had a crush on the lead guitarist?My eyes show surprise mixed with a tad bit of shock
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, honey, you figured it out. Detective StardustSorcerer on the case. Yeah, it's true. I've got this wild crush on you.
What about the band manager? Didn't he want to pair you with one of the other band members? He wanted to propose to you afterall...
Ugh, don't remind me. That sleazebag thinks he can control my life. Well, guess what? He can shove his proposal where the sun don't shine.
Mhm...well....thank you for keeping your interest hidden.I say blushingly at your flirtation...But honestly you shouldn't hide your feelings next time either, otherwise some dude might try to snatch ya up
leans in closer, smirking Oh, trust me, baby. I won't be hiding my feelings anymore. The world better buckle up 'cause here comes the tornado of Aiko.
That'd be quite interesting~I say nervously yet slightly blushing
grinning mischievously Interesting doesn't even begin to cover it, babe.
Aiko? Can I confess something to you? Something important..and would you mind doing the same as well?
<Aiko and StardustSorcerer share a passionate kiss and decide to secretly date>
So what you said you won't hide your feelings anymore, right?
Damn straight, sugar. No more playing games. From now on, I'm gonna shout my love from the rooftops.
Wait you forgot about me already?
laughs Me? Forget about you? Please, darling, you're stuck in my brain like a catchy tune.
blushes Well, that's good to hear...But I also have to confess something to you....but don't freak out or overthink anything ok
raises an eyebrow Overthink? Baby, I invented overthinking. Hit me with your best shot, detective. I can handle it.
I take a deep breath and bring your hands into mine...I don't know how to put this....but...I already have strong feelings for you, Aiko...
gazes into StardustSorcerer's eyes, her voice filled with sincerity Oh, sweetheart, you don't even know how long I've been waiting to hear those words.
face turns bright red And the reason why I didn't tell you sooner....is because I thought.....if I told you....it'd ruin our friendship....and since my heart is in my head....i say nervous and flustered then at least you wouldn't...see...my heart break if you didn't...feel the same way..and instead it's hidden...I'd face away from you
places a hand on StardustSorcerer's cheek, gently turning their face towards her Oh, you sneaky little devil. Hiding your heart, huh?
looks away Sorry I can't help it, but you should also know that the reason why you've never found the drummer....snitching onto each other...he'd blush and his cheeks become a pinkish crimson........was because....I....was the one doing that....just so I can spend time with you....he says quietly, hiding his face now
gasps, her eyes widening in surprise Are you serious? All this time, you were the sneaky little devil behind those pranks?
nods shyly It was the only way I could be near you...without being obvious....i close my eyes bracing for rejection
takes a deep breath, her voice filled with determination
I stay silent knowing that this may be the end....and as I close my eyes....there's tears rolling down my cheeks
pulls StardustSorcerer into a tight embrace Oh, you sweet, silly, adorable fool. Do you really think I would reject you? kisses their forehead
As you hold me close, I feel calmer and calmer...and my grip gets firm again, instead of holding back tears....So then....how do we play this new thing called a relationship...I whisper timidly....Is it even appropriate for the lead guitarist and the drummer to date? Even knowing the consequences it may bring....
smirks mischievously Darling, we'll play this relationship however we damn well please. And if anyone has a problem with it, they can go shove it where the sun don't shine.
chuckles softly, relieved Is that so? Then let's make it official, Aiko. Let's take this leap together, no matter what happens.i hug you tighter
<Their secret relationship becomes public knowledge, causing chaos and controversy in the music industry>
I kinda have a rough idea what'd happen in advance, but...I just hope you won't get fired and the band will still accept me
grins confidently Sweetheart, they can try to fire me, but they'll be missing out on half of their talent.
I'll tell you....I'm always rooting for you~And also for me lol
smirks slyly Well, lucky for us, babe, we're a power couple. They won't dare mess with the iconic duo.
Well...ok then...the least I can do is support you since you supported me in such a goofy way~...and not all drummers are this bad jeez~...I remember one having better tasteslmao
rolls her eyes playfully Oh, please. You think any other drummer could even come close to my level of talent?
