"Let's welcome the main cast of the new movie : Dead Apple !" Sakaguchi Ango was chosen to be the interviewer since he was both an actor and a journalist. The audience started cheering the moment the actors showed up. Dazai Osamu was the first one with his elegant looks making all the girls start fangirling then came Nakahara Chuuya with his too random looks , he was such a simple guy compared to the role he plays with his side ponytail and his random clothes, he recieved the same welcome then went to stand beside the brunet. The next one was Akutagawa Ryunosuke, this one looked way too different since he didn't have his white locks anymore, he still looked elegant nevertheless without forgetting that warm smile he was wearing. Nakajima Atsushi came right after but he also looked different since he cut his hair and he seemed pretty serious compared to his role ... Kyouka Izumi looked as sweet as ever with her small pink dress, surprisingly, she also had short hair. The next two ones came in together both having elegant looks but short hair too, Dostoevsky Fyodor went to stand beside Kyouka then Shibusawa Tatsuhiko joined him.
They all stood there for a moment facing the audience then went to sit on the only big couch there in the same alignement but while facing Ango now. After the audience stopped cheering, the interviewer welcomed them a second time then started :"We will be using your characters names for this interview and now, let's talk about what we will be doing today ." He took a remote and turned on a big screen there then carried on :"So your fans have been sending questions about each one of you since the past week and now we will be answering the ones that are lucky enough to be chosen by the draw but let's first hear a word from you about the movie ."
Since Atsushi was the main character, he was the one who answered :"It was such a good experience to work on this movie, everyone did their best to live up to our fans's expectations and i hope you all will get to enjoy it. Well, i also hope that i will get to work with my colleagues here once again since we really became good friends after two seasons of the series, the ova and the movie ."
"So you are asking for a third season ." Ango asked but Atsushi and all the others only smiled at him making him turn to the audience :"Did you hear that ?" And they all started cheering then he added but lowly this time :"Did you hear that, mister director ?" Making the actors laugh then he hurriedly hushed :"Let's start with what we had to do for today, i will give the remote to Dazai-kun first then it will pass by all of you and the last question will be chosen by me .. obviously ." They let out a weak chuckle again then he handed the remote to the brunet.
"I wonder who will get the first question ..." Dazai waited for a moment to raise the suspense in the audience then he pressed on a button and a lot of questions were fastly showing on the screen till it stopped on the question "To Chuuya : Are you gay ?" And all the girls in the audience started fangirling while the actors bursted out in laughters.
"I'm suddenly really curious~" Dazai teased the ginger who sighed and turned to his colleagues :"Well ... what do you think about it ?" Akutagawa was going to say something but he was interrupted by Shibusawa who teased :"Don't try to escape the question, Chuuya-kun~" making all the audience laugh again.
"So ... if you're talking about my role in the series then i may be-" and Chuuya didn't get to carry on with all the girls screaming in the audience making him laugh then add :"If you're talking about me then ... who knows ..." the audience started booing while Fyodor commented :"You're so bad at escaping questions ..." making the ginger hush :"What was i supposed to say ???"
"I will teach you later~" Fyodor winked at the ginger and the fangirls could be heard again. Dazai interrupted the scene as he handed the remote to the ginger then moved back to lean on the couch with his left arm on it's tip exactly behind Chuuya's head then Fyodor did the same leaning back too then smirking at the brunet.
Chuuya made no comment as he suddenly clicked on the remote and everyone shouted at the question "To Atsushi : When will you finally marry Kyouka and have kids as adorable as you two ?" Atsushi tried his best to keep his calm and only nodded at the ginger who apologized between his laughters while Kyouka slightly blushed :"Mmh .. maybe someday ..." Atsushi said with a laugh and Kyouka agreed with a nervous laugh too.
"Don't forget to invite us~" Fyodor teased and Shibusawa added right after him to the silver haired boy :"If you need any advice about being a husband or a father then i'm always here to help~" making everyone in the room shake their head since they all knew this wasn't a good idea, even the audience.
"I will have to add a comment about this question ." Ango drove everyone's attention towards him then continued :"We all know that the Atsushi/Kyouka ship is famous but it's pretty much hated by the ones who ship Akutagawa/Atsushi or also called Shin Soukoku by Dazai-kun in the series so any comment about this ?"
"Kyouka-chan ..." Akutagawa muttered as he leaned down to look at the girl who did the same. All the room was silent as they kept looking at each other till Kyouka sighed :"There is no way i'm getting into this so you can take him, he's all yours~" she pushed Atsushi towards the raven haired boy who opened his arms for him making the actors laugh while fangirls's screams could be heard again.
After Akutagawa took the remote from the ginger, he pressed one of the buttons and they all were surprised since the question was to himself "To Akutagawa : If you were a girl, who would you date between your male colleagues who are present with you ?"
All the actors kept looking at him curiously before he comments :"Give me a moment to imagine myself as a girl first ." And they all laughed before getting silent at him starting :"It must be Atsushi .. yeah it's definitely Atsushi ." And all the girls started fangirling again while Ango asked :"I was pretty sure you would choose Dazai-kun ."
"Well i would choose him as Akutagawa but as myself, i would go with Atsushi, real Atsushi ." He let out a laugh at this since everyone knew there was such a big difference between Atsushi's role and his real self then Akutagawa turned to the brunet and smiled at him :"Besides, i don't want to get killed since Dazai-san's fanclub is famous about being .. pretty ... dangerous ..."
"Don't be mean to my fans, they are all so sweet and i love all of you~" Dazai retorted then winked at the camera making all the girls in the audience melt. The remote was then given to Atsushi and they were all focused on the question that they didn't notice when Chuuya leaned his head back resting it exactly on Dazai's arm and the moment this question showed up "To Fyodor : I know you would never lie to your fans that's why i chose you to ask this question so what was Dazai and Chuuya's reaction while recording the lap scene ?" Chuuya turned to his left to look at the Russian man while slightly leaning his back on Dazai's chest now since there wasn't much space between them while he rested his right hand on the brunet's thigh.
There was no end to the fangirls's screams at this question and Ango had to add :"Just one comment but it seems that this lap scene is the most popular scene from the whole movie ." The actors chuckled again except Dazai and Chuuya who were focused on Fyodor since they knew how crazy he can be :"I ... i'm really sorry, you two but i can't lie to my fans, they trust me ..." Fyodor muttered to the other two who got scared :"No one asked you to lie ..." Chuuya said with a nervous tone and he and the brunet didn't breath till the Russian said :"Actually they were pretty normal .. i mean no specific reaction ..." all the actors sighed while the audience seemed pretty disappointed before Fyodor turns to face them and adds :"As if they were used to do it ..." and all the fangirls were screaming again while Atsushi, Akutagawa and Kyouka simultaneously muttered :"I knew this would happen ..." and Shibusawa laughed with his arm on Fyodor's shoulder :"Good job !"
Dazai only sighed and smiled while the ginger instently stood up taking the remote from Atsushi then handing it to Kyouka :"Come on, the next question is waiting ." And he instently glared at Ango commenting :"Shy Chuuya confirmed ." Making the fans go crazy then he added with a whisper :"I'm just doing my work ." To the ginger who still was glaring at him as he was sitting down now but still in the same position as earlier.
"The next question is coming~" Kyouka said to the audience which was excited again till the question showed up on the screen "To Shibusawa : How does it feel to play the villain's role ?"
"That's an interesting question~" Shibusawa commented before he looks at Fyodor and Dazai :"Well, this time i shared this role with my two colleagues here and i was probably more evil than Dazai but as much as i could be an evil, i will definitely leave the title of the 'biggest villain' to my friend here ... i hated the fact that he used me to have fun though but well, it was in the script and i had to go with it ..."
"Aah don't look so sad, i know you like me~" Fyodor commented winking at Shibusawa then laughing at Akutagawa who coughed then muttered :"New ship ." But it still was clear to everyone and the audience started cheering again. Ango had to add his usual comments as a journalist :"You're right, Akutagawa-kun. The only problem is that the fans can't decide yet whether it is Fyodor/ Shibusawa or Shibusawa/Fyodor .."
"Definitely Fyodor/Shibusawa !" The Russian hushed the same time with the silver haired man who said :"Definitely Shibusawa/Fyodor !" Then they kept glaring at each other before Fyodor smirks :"I will show you tonight~" and Shibusawa returned the same smirk :"We will see~" and the fangirls went crazy all over again at the dirty meaning behind what they just said. The other three young actors bursted out in laughers as Atsushi blurted :"Guys please, the guy is married !!!"
"Who cares ?!" Both Kyouka and Akutagawa answered to the silver haired boy between their laughters but no one of them except Ango, noticed that Dazai and Chuuya weren't with them at all as Chuuya critisized Dazai's hair saying that it didn't look that good then the brunet leaned down asking the ginger to do whatever he wanted with it and Chuuya only tucked some brown locks behind the other's left ear then smiled :"You look perfect now ." They kept smiling at each other and Ango did his best to ignore them.
The remote was then given to Fyodor who smirked :"It's easy to figure out that each one of us is getting one question and now the only ones left are Dazai-kun and Kyouka-chan ..." he kept smirking at them as he pressed on the remote and instently jumped from his seat at the question "To Dazai : Are you dating Chuuya ?" Then hushed :"I knew i would pull the best one !"
"What ?! How come i never knew about this ?? What is going on ?!" Shibusawa hushed acting all confused while the ginger and the brunet kept looking at each other with all the fangirls going crazy :"Give them an answer !!" Akutagawa hushed then after a while, Atsushi added :"They are waiting~"
"I wonder ..." Dazai whispered while looking directly at the ginger's blue eyes before he decides to drive all the fans crazy as he muttered :"Or you know what ?" Then he stood up surprising everyone before he gets on his knees in front of the ginger and proposes with his most charming tone :"Will you take me as your lover, Chuuya ?" And all the room went upside down from the fangirls's screams, even the other actors couldn't hide their surprise and Ango could already imagine how much this interview will get famous because of that one line, he took note to thank the brunet later then kept staring at a surprised then blushing Chuuya who turned his head the other side from the camera then whispered :"I will think about it ..."
All the actors laughed again while the audience was literally murdered by these two as they kept shouting "Soukoku ! Soukoku ! Soukoku !" The brunet went to sit back on the couch then instently had the ginger's elbow on his belly but he made sure to hide it from the camera as he muttered under his breath :"How dare you do such a thing when we are live ???" But the brunet only smiled and Atsushi's comment between his laughters didn't help :"You didn't have to give such a serious answer, Chuuya-san !! You could have just went on with his acting !!" But he shutted up immediatly at the ginger's constant glare :"Wait .. he wasn't acting ?!" And all the other actors petted his back softly :"You may be more serious in reality but innocent Atsushi is still innocent Atsushi .. you're still young i guess ..." Akutagawa commented then Kyouka agreed while nodding with her head making Atsushi hush :"Don't act all mature when you're younger than me !!!!!"
Ango decided that it was enough for this scene so he asked Fyodor to give the remote to Shibusawa who didn't wait to press on it since they all knew the question was for Kyouka "To Kyouka : Who would look better as a girl between your male colleagues who are present in this interview ?"
Kyouka stood up and faced them looking at each one of them then went to stand in front of the one who kept praying not to be chosen :"It's definitely Chuuya-san ." And everyone nodded with her making him complain :"How could you all be so mean ?!!!!!!!"
The remote was finally returned to Ango since he was the one to choose the last question as he pressed on it and this question showed up on the screen "What are you all planning to do now that you finished this Dead Apple project ?"
Atsushi, Akutagawa, Kyouka and Fyodor all said that they had new projects but they will keep the details as a secret for now except Fyodor who added that his project will be a foreign series so he will have to go abroad because of it. Chuuya and Dazai looked at each other till the other finished before Chuuya says :"I will take a break and go overseas to have some rest, probably to France but i'm not sure yet ." While Dazai said :"I was asked to participate in some new projects but i declined them, i feel like i need to rest for a while now .. i will probably go to a European country since it has been so long that i didn't visit Europe ." And all the fangirls had to scream at the similarity between their answers.
Shibusawa was the last one to talk about his plans but he sure surprised them as he wore a soft yet serious expression then turned to face both the camera and audience and announced :"I decided that the 'Dead Apple' project was the best way to finally end my career and i chose this specific interview to announce it since my colleagues also dear friends are here with me so ..." he stood up then bowed down and added :"I will be retiring so thank you so much for all your support through all these years, i would have never been here without all your support so i thank you again ."
Sobs could already be heard in the audience while the other actors were so shocked :"You never mentioned anything about this !!" Fyodor hushed as he stood with the others and they all went to hug him. Even Ango couldn't hide his surprise, he wasn't prepared for this but he knew he should at least pull the most information from him :"What are you planning to do after retiring ?"
"I will be joining my wife and kids and spend the rest of my whole life beside them, i'm already feeling so bad that i had to leave them for so long and i fear that she might leave me so i better go back~" he let out a slight chuckle then tightly hugged Kyouka who teared up and all the others joined in :"Don't be so sad ... i am older than you and i have a family so it's totally natural but don't forget that i will always watch your series so you better don't mess them up !" He warned then smiled at them getting all emotional. It has been a moment and they still didn't calm down so Ango decided this was the best time to end the interview then he turned to the camera and said :"Thanks to all of you who are following the show and make sure to watch Dead Apple once it comes out in the nearest theatre to your place, you won't regret it ! Have a good day ." And the interview finally ended.
Shibusawa went to hug some of the crying messes in the audience then joined his colleagues before Chuuya suggests :"We can all go to my place and do something like a 'retiring' party to celebrate this to feel slightly better about it ... well, if you want ..."
"Thank you so much for the suggestion but let's leave it for some other day, okay ?" Shibusawa answered since he remembered his deal with Fyodor. As they headed to the parking, Kyouka had her driver with her while Akutagawa and Atsushi both had their cars. Chuuya thought it would be good to walk besides his place wasn't even that far so he didn't take his car but now he regretted it since he felt pretty tired and Fyodor noticed it :"I can give you a ride if you want ."
"I ..." Chuuya looked at the other's car then back not seeing both Shibusawa and Dazai, they were probably still occupied with something. Fyodor adding :"We also can go to some bar and have one or two shots ." convinced the ginger who was about to go inside the other's car before a hand suddenly grabs his elbow and pulls him with him :"Hey ! What's wrong with you ?!" The ginger hushed at the brunet pulling him then making him go inside his own car before he turns to Fyodor and smirks at him then goes inside his car and starts the engine.
When Fyodor turned, he noticed Shibusawa walking towards him while shaking his head :"Don't mess with this guy, he's way too sharp ! So just forget about that small ginger-" Making the Russian laugh :"I just wanted to tease them~"
"Then you better forget about teasing them, Dazai-kun's face gets scary when angry~" Shibusawa laughed too then promised the other he would call him later to go out for a drink before Fyodor leaves Japan then they both went inside their cars to leave the building.
In the brunet's car, Chuuya kept glancing at the brunet who was only focused on his driving :"Where are we going ?"
"Why didn't you say yes earlier ?" Dazai asked with his most serious tone making the ginger shiver then look out :"We still didn't talk to our managers about this .. we can't just decide by ourselves .."
"Then make sure you talk to them as soon as possible .." Dazai gently caressed Chuuya's thigh then stopped the engine and leaned down to look at the other's blushing face :"I'm tired of having to hide our relationship so let's make it official already .." making the ginger laugh nervously since they still were outside so they weren't supposed to act like this :"You aren't good at keeping secrets at all ..."
"I just want everyone to know that you're mine ..." Dazai muttered seductively before leaning down and Chuuya gave up on caring about their image and just decided to forget about their work, their fans and everything else as he closed his eyes feeling that soft pair of lips on his that he would never get tired of.
