" Thank you everyone for coming! " Tsukasa exclaimed into the mic, the crowd cheered in response. " I'll make sure to continue shining bright for everyone! " He waved at the crowd, a sea of waving bright yellow lights illuminated the dark stadium.
The lights started dimming and Tsukasa began to make his way backstage, the crowds cheers could still be heard in the distance.
His bright and energetic smile dropped the second the spotlight was off Tsukasa. Instead, he ran his fingers through his hair and let out a relieved sigh.
Emu, his manager appeared the second Tsukasa left the stage and handed him a bottle of cold water.
" Beautiful as always, Tsukasa! " She said cheerfully, patting the tired idol on the back.
Tsukasa nodded and gave her a tired smile, " Thanks, Emu. " He replied before taking a large, refreshing sip of water.
Emu looked at him, her face tensed with worry. " Are you okay, Tsukasa? " she asked, placing a hand on Tsukasa's shoulder.
Tsukasa smiled, more refreshed this time as he nodded. " Just tired, thats all, " he replied, closing the bottle in his hands. " Its nothing a quick shower and a cup of coffee can't fix, " he said in hopes of reassuring his kind-hearted manager.
Emu frowned slightly before nodding slowly, " I'll trust your word, Tsukasa, " She said as they approached Tsukasa's designated changing room.
" If you need to cancel or delay the meet and greet— or if you need anything really, Im just a text away, " Emu said as she inserted the key to the door, unlocking it before taking the key out again.
Tsukasa nodded, " I appreciate the help, but I should be fine for another meet and greet, " he reassured her as he entered the room.
" I'll see you later, Emu, " Tsukasa gave her a reassuring smile, the pink-haired manager smiling back in return.
" Have a good rest, Tsukasa. " She nodded before taking a short glance at the watch on her wrist. " I'll be here to pick you up in 30 minutes. " she informed, Tsukasa nodded in response before the door shut and the two parted ways.
Tsukasa locked the door from the inside and he let out a tired sigh, " God... I feel like Im about to pass out... " Tsukasa muttered to himself, placing the bottle of water on his vanity filled with cosmetics.
Tsukasa ran his fingers through his hair again before suddenly feeling a pair of familliar arms wrap around his waist.
" Hi, Rui. " Tsukasa said fondly as he sank into the arms which tightened around him, pulling him closer.
Rui hummed, pleased to be finally able to see his dear boyfriend after a whole day of performances.
" How are you doing? " he asks, placing his head onto Tsukasa's shoulder.
" Tired, but Its nothing much, " Tsukasa replied, gently tousling Ruis purple hair.
" You sure? "
Tsukasa nods, trying his best to reassure Rui.
Rui responding by tightening his grip around Tsukasa's waist.
A soft chuckle left Tsukasa's lips before he began to pry Rui off him, earning a displeased whine from his boyfriend.
" Let go of me Rui, Im gonna take a bath before the meet and greet later, " Tsukasa said, now trying to slip his way out of Ruis embrace.
The idol was met with yet another whine from his boyfriend before Rui finally decided to let go.
Tsukasa sighed as Rui released him, " Thank you, " he said. The idol turned around to face his boyfriend, only to find him pretending to pout and act cute.
Tsukasa couldn't help but laugh at the sight, because who would've guessed? The largest and most wanted hacker in the area would be found pouting just because his boyfriend refused to give him more cuddles.
" We can sit on the couch and cuddle if we have time after Im done showering, okay? " Tsukasa said, cupping Ruis cheek and tilting his head.
Rui mocked hesitation for awhile with a long, " Hmm... " before finally nodding, satisfied with his boyfriends preposition.
Tsukasa pressed another quick kiss onto Rui's lips, running off to get his clothes before entering the shower.
Now alone in the silent changing room, Rui plopped himself onto the couch and pulled out his phone. A tired sigh escapes him as he finds message after message from Nene and Rin the second he unlocks his phone.
Apparently they were having some trouble with a code and they desperately needed Ruis help.
Rui heaved another sigh before he got to work.
Atleast he'd be occupied with something while he waited for Tsukasa to come out.
It wasn't long till Tsukasa stepped out of the shower. Only to find his boyfriend typing away frantically at his phone, a determined look on his fault.
A smile formed on his lips as Tsukasa quietly walked towards the couch, Rui's eyes still laser-focused on the phone in his hands.
Tsukasa let out a soft laugh as he slipped into Rui's lap, quickly making his way into his boyfriends arms.
" Since when did you finish showering? " Rui asked, glancing over at the idol before going back to looking at the sentences of codes he was writing.
" A few seconds ago, " Tsukasa replied, already laying down comfortably on Ruis chest.
Rui hummed in response as he continued to work. The hacker silently cursed himself for not bringing along his computer, which would've made this alot easier.
It doesn't take long before Rui's done, the hacker quickly putting his phone away before placing all his attention to the now sleeping idol atop of him.
A smile spread across Ruis face as he gently wraps an arm around Tsukasa's waist, holding him tighter. His other hand is in Tsukasa's hair, his long fingers threading and running through yellow and peach locks of hair.
Soft snores escaped the idol as he slept, his pretty, long eyelashes fluttered as he did. His lips were slightly parted, and lack of makeup revealed the greyish bags beneath his eyes.
Rui leaned down, the smell of peach-scented shampoo filling his senses as he pressed a kiss into Tsukasa's hair.
" Sleep well, my brightest star. "
" I love you, so much. "
