Role studying still remains an essential part of building a character before owning it and playing it in front of the audience authentically. One can choose to get the role study done however they like. There wasn’t a strict set of rules and Misumi chose to do it by observing his boyfriend. Everyone knew Kazunari was an art major and they also knew that he & Misumi were very close. They didn’t bother hiding anything after all.
Red, blue, orange… Misumi was on a mission to draw as many triangles as possible, lots of colorful triangles, til he runs out of space to keep drawing. He picks up the soothing green paint with his brush and smears it on his canvas that Kazunari lent to him for ‘role study’. Kazunari was right next to him, painting along with him. A satisfactory expression bloomed over Misumi’s face after he designed the green triangle. It reminds him of something though… Oh. Turning his eyes up from the canvas, he looked at Kazunari. Feeling that he was being stared at, he naturally looked up and found himself looking right into Misumi’s eyes.
Misumi let out a soft giggle that made Kazunari feel all warm inside his heart. “Having fun, Sumi?” he asked, flashing a grin as well.
“Mm~ This triangle looks like Kazu!”
Kazunari took a look at the triangle, it was simple. A plain green colored triangle and pretty similar to the other triangles he has drawn so far. “Aw~ Thanksies, Sumi! Can I upload this sick art on my insta later?”
“Sure~ I’m going to give this to Kazu anyway.”
“For me?!”
Misumi hums implying a positive answer and gets busy drawing another triangle.
“That’s sooooo sweet! Defs gonna put it on my desk and look at it everyday~”
The troupemates could notice the two lovebirds spending more time with each other for ‘role study’. Misumi was enjoying every moment spent with Kazunari regardless what his original intention was, he was happy to be part of Kazunari daily a bit more.
Kazunari put out the suggestion to visit his uni and Misumi agreed with a heartbeat. He has been to veludo arts before when Kazunari and Banri invited others during the school festival. Though, he hadn’t observed the student life of art majors that intently at that time so he had no means to reject this offer. It also meant he could see his boyfriend’s uni life closely.
Misumi could swear he has been truly motivated thanks to Kazunari. Every night he stays awake with the small spark of excitement spreading through his heart until it’s morning again. He’s already looking forward to what activity he’d be doing with his favorite person even if it was for role study.
Just like that the day came, he couldn’t sleep again yet he felt like he was definitely ready to perform the role of this passionate artist right away.
Before they headed to the theatre to begin the last rehearsal, Kazunari showed up with a canvas in front of Misumi and held it towards him as if he was asking Misumi to take it.
“It’s a thank you gift for the art you gave me!”
A portrait of him, painting something on a canvas. It looked so similar to what Kazunari was making during their painting session for role study but he had no idea it was a portrait of him. Perhaps because it was incomplete then.
“Kazu…! Thank you… I looooove Kazu’s paintings!!”
He leaned in a hug to express how ecstatic he was to receive Kazunari’s love like this.
“I wanted to paint the beautiful silhouette that you had at that time and I’m giving this to you now to remind you that I’m always cheering for you, Sumi.”
“Kazu…”
“Let’s show ‘em, Sumi~! . . .Together.”
“Hehe~ Can’t wait.”
