„…huH, whats thIS?“
Natsume looks up to his senior, whom just handed him a ticket to an upcoming event. Blend+? Never heard of that before.
„Kakakaka!! A newly arranged shuffle unit consisting Suou, Yuta-kun, Oogami, Aoba and me~!“, Shu boasted.
„…interestiNG“, the magician mumbled to himself. „I‘ll look forward to iT“, he added after. Well, little did he know, he really did.
He feels a bit strange. Odd, even.
The redhead had always seen Senpai on stage, performing with him together with Sora, even having their own unit. But today, things feel a bit different. How come his tummy feels so….. fuzzy tonight?
God knows.
The eccentrics (excluding Shu, of course) arrived at the hall, all taking a seat. Natsume still felt a little fuzzy, starting to fidget around his fingers now, nervously.
Kanata, from the corner of his eye, spotted his sudden odd behavior, and simply giggled as he noticed his kouhai staring back and pouting, ears red from realization and embarrassment.
The curtains parted, and Wataru announced in a sing-song-like whisper that the performance was about to start.
The song had an elegant opening, the cast chanting together, and the instrumentals came in. The redhead was enjoying it so far, until it was Senpais turn for his cue. It hit him again why he was so excited to be here in the first place.
His mellow but clear singing voice, his soft smile, the way his messy blue locks bounced while he was dancing so gracefully, that innocent look on his face, those awfully punchable round glasses that captured his face so well, the playful melody that just tied everything together…. yep, he really earned himself the title „bluebird of happiness“, as his singing sounded so tender you would feel like you’re floating on clouds. Melodic and joyful like a bird, and the way you could just hear his smile in his voice.
Or perhaps, that’s just Natsume.
Is it normal to think such things about your ….unitmate?
He had to pull himself together as he still had to sit through the entire song, trying not to melt at every single one of his senpais lines every time he opened his mouth. He was an idol after all, and that in…. public.
Well, he couldn’t think that way for long, as it was Tsumugis cue again and he hopped to the front of the stage, even winking at the wide audience. Aaaaand Natsume just lost it. Was it towards him? Was it part of the choreo? Was he even aware he was in the crowd? Sure, he sat in the front row and his burning red hair with light streaks and odd cut stood out to the rest of the crowd, but….
Feeling a bit too hot and perhaps hyperventilating a bit, it didn’t take long for the 3 eccentrics around him to notice his strange behavior during their whole stay here. Well, it’s not like they’re *surprised* or anything, as they knew about their little eccentric having a little fancy for Tsumugi.
Before he knew it, the song had ended and the members of the unit bowed down, rushing off the stage. This performance left Natsume thinking a bit. Has he always thought this way about his unitmate?
Nevertheless, he stood up his seat, flushed cheeks and waited a while at the exit. „Nacchan, are you „sure“ you’re not „coming“ with us~?“ Kanata questioned.
„I’m finE, get home saFE“, the redhead replied. The teal haired just shrugged and disappeared back into the crowd. It took a bit until he spotted the fuzzy bluebird about to take his leave.
„HeY, mopheAD.“
„Uuwaaah! N-natsume-kun, you’re still here?!“
The shorter magician sighed, and took a following deep breath.
„Do you….by chance….“ Natsume averted his eyes as you can visibly see Tsumugis internal question marks on his blank expression.
„Have time to drop by a café… with me?“ The redhead blushed even more now. „M-my treat, of course.“
‘Huh?? His vocal tic dropped, this must be something special‘, Tsumugi told himself. „Aaah, a date with Natsume-kun after an exhausting but successful day, I‘d love that~!“, he hummed. „You knOW you didn’t have to word it like thAT“, the younger one stammered, face at this point redder than his hair. He hit the back of the older ones head. „Waaah! So mean..“
He rubbed the back of his head but was too excited to worry enough.
As they were heading towards the train station, from a distant corner, the 3 eccentrics giggled and chuckled together, cause being they had watched the entire scene of Natsume practically asking Tsumugi out because he was so overwhelmed by his performance.
„These bitches gay, good for them. Good for them“, Rei blurted out.
„Ahhh~ sweet young love. At this rate, it’ll just be a matter of time until they confess to each other~☆“, Wataru added.
„Perhaps that will „happen“ anytime soon on their café „date““, Kanata hummed to himself.
Who knows what they could be discussing on their date right now. Maybe praise about tonight’s show, maybe a confession even, considering how messed up Natsumes mind was today.
