Work Text:
It is 3:00 PM on Saturday and the troupe practice for their upcoming show ends, everyone parts their way home while Emu stays behind.
“Okay, see you tomorrow everyone”, Nene says goodbyes to her friends.
“I will also go home, I will need to tinker with some machines fufu~”, Rui said as he goes home alongside Nene.
“Tsukasa-kun, are you not going home yet?”, Emu asked
“I’m not, I’m going to see Toya’s performance”, the blonde answered.
“Could I tag along with you?”, Emu immediately asked again.
Tsukasa didn’t hesitate to answer, “Of course, I’ll also escort you to your home if you want to”
The two began their journey
“Toya-kun is Nene-chan’s classmate, right?”, Emu asked, once again
“Yeah, and he is a really great performer and that is because he is under my mentorship”, Tsukasa said and laughs using his iconic laugh.
“You are Toya-kun’s mentor!? That’s so wonderhoy!”, Emu is amazed
"Yeah, when we are young, I teach him some piano lessons I've learned from my mother", Tsukasa said in confidence.
"You are so wonderhoy Tsukasa-kun!", Emu said in amazement.
The two continue talking until they arrive at their destination
The two arrive at the street where Toya and his group will perform.
They try to find Toya’s group but they saw no one.
"Tsukasa-kun, where is Toya-kun's group?", Emu wonders
"Emu, I don't know as well", Tsukasa sighed
Tsukasa’s phone vibrates and he picks up the phone
“Hello! The World Future Star speaking!”, Tsukasa answers the phone
“Hello Tsukasa-senpai, our performance got canceled and I’m really sorry for making you wait.”, the voice from the other line said.
“Tsukasa-kun Tsukasa-kun, who’s that?”, Emu curiously asked.
“It’s Toya, Emu”, Tsukasa smiles at Emu and signals a shh to her
“Tsukasa-senpai, who’s that?”, Toya finds it peculiar that he brought someone
“Uhm, it was my friend on my theatre troupe”, Tsukasa answered
“I thought you brought your girlfriend with you”, Toya teases his upperclassman and laughs a bit
“I don’t have a girlfriend Toya!”, Tsukasa blushes
“Perhaps later this day, you might have”, Toya teases him more and laughs
“TSUKASA-KUN! THERE IS A TAIYAKI SHOP THERE!”, Emu suddenly shouts as she points at the taiyaki shop
Before Tsukasa responds, Toya ended the call making sure that he will not be a disturbance to the taiyaki date of the two.
“OI, TOYA!”, Tsukasa shouts in his phone.
“TSUKASA-KUN LET’S GO THERE!!”, Emu shouts once again, wanting to go to the taiyaki shop.
“Okay okay Emu”, Tsukasa sighed
The two go to the taiyaki shop that Emu pointed at.
“Since I might be wasting your time, the taiyaki will be my treat.”, Tsukasa offered
“No need, Tsukasa-kun! I’m the one who tagged along after all.”, Emu rejects Tsukasa’s offer and becomes flustered
Both of them eat their taiyaki. Tsukasa spotted some crumbs on Emu's face. He tried to explain to Emu that she has a taiyaki crumb on her face but it's not working since he has a taiyaki on his mouth. He ended up wiping it from her face making him and Emu blush. They both go for a walk and talk.
“I don’t want to let you down on this trip after all. So take my offer!”, Tsukasa insists
“Uhm, what if you offer something else instead Tsukasa-kun? Like letting me sleep over at your house! It will be a wonderhoy night!”, Emu suggested
“We will look like lovers if we do that.”, Tsukasa rejects the offer
“But I really really want to go to your house and sleep there!”, Emu stands firm with her suggestion
Emu widens her cute eyes to make Tsukasa say yes.
Tsukasa’s heart beats faster than usual and he eventually gives in to Emu.
Upon finishing their taiyakis, they head to Tsukasa’s house.
Arriving at the Tenma household, Emu is amazed at the beauty of Tsukasa’s house.
“Tsukasa-kun, you’re house is so wonderhoy”, Emu said in amazement
“It’s still pretty early though. Well, let’s watch some movies.”, Tsukasa suggested
“Tsukasa-kun, you said that you’ve watched some theatre shows right?”, Emu asked the blonde boy
“Yeah, want to watch some?”, Tsukasa answered and suggested
“Watching theatre shows with Tsukasa-kun sounds wonderhoy!”, Emu jumps in joy
Emu had so much fun watching the theatre shows with Tsukasa and is happy that she got to know Tsukasa a bit more. After watching for a bit more, she feels sleepy. The two decided to have a conversation while watching the movies.
"So, Emu, why did you want to have a sleepover at my house? Not Rui's or Nene's?", Tsukasa debriefs Emu
"Well, uhm", Emu is trying to come up with an answer. She can't just say that she wants to spend more time with Tsukasa. Yeah, she wants to spend more time with Tsukasa and hang out with him but that will be hard to say to him. She also wants to confess that she likes him but she can't just say that since she fears that Tsukasa will not reciprocate her feelings. She is thinking of other answers and she said, "I am curious about the theatre shows you've watched!"
She becomes red and blushes to feel embarrassed (which usually she isn't)
"Well, if you want to watch these, I could give you some DVDs.", Tsukasa said.
She felt like Tsukasa doesn't like her company making her silent. Tsukasa panicked inside since Emu became silent, he is trying to shift the topic so Emu won't feel comfortable.
"Maybe, you just want someone to watch these with you right?", Tsukasa answered his own question dumb-founded.
"Y-yes!", Emu became energetic once again and continued talking with Tsukasa.
While watching, both of them liked each other's company. Tsukasa doesn't want Emu to be silent anymore. He doesn't want her to be awkward around him, He also feels a tingle when he's with Emu. Maybe, Toya is right, Emu is his girlfriend but the two never admitted to their feelings for each other. They want to be together forever but don't want to ruin their friendship when the other doesn't want to reciprocate their feelings.
Emu closes her eyes and falls onto Tsukasa's shoulders. Tsukasa realized that Emu is sleeping on his shoulders making him blush red like a tomato. Tsukasa lets Emu rest on his shoulders for a while until he ends the show. He turns the tv off upon finishing the show and carried Emu to his bedroom princess-style. Emu is muttering something while being carried.
"Tsukasa-kun, I like you.", she muttered. "I really love you when you shine and when you make everyone smile. I smile differently from when I first met you Tsukasa-kun, I hope you will never leave me", she added while shedding a few tears while sleeping.
"I like you too, Emu.", he muttered while wiping sleeping Emu's tears. "I like when you're trying your best to make everyone smile. I love you when you say wonderhoy. I may seem annoyed but deep inside, I really love hearing you. Your presence alone makes me happy. I love you when you smile, I love everything about you."
Emu suddenly opens her eyes upon hearing Tsukasa. "You like me too, Tsukasa-kun?", Emu questions Tsukasa. Tsukasa once again blushed and flustered. He said "yes" while being red like a tomato.
Emu pulls Tsukasa and steals a kiss from him making Tsukasa blush even more. "Looks like I stole your first kiss, Tsukasa-kun~", she said while sleepy. Tsukasa wants to revenge kiss Emu.
Upon arriving at Tsukasa's room, he laid down Emu and gives her a kiss. When he kissed Emu, he wants the moment to be longer hence making him kiss Emu for a longer period of time. Emu surprises Tsukasa by pulling his head making Tsukasa's kiss longer than he intended. It also makes Tsukasa back down to the bed. Tsukasa cuddles Emu, and whispered something, "I hope we can be like this together." Emu suddenly said, "Then make me your girlfriend!", Emu proposed. Tsukasa didn't hesitate to say yes. They also decided to announce it to their other troupe members.
"So you two are dating now?", Nene asked.
"Yeah~", Tsukada and Emu said in unison while blushing.
"I thought you guys are dating a few months ago fuhu~", Rui said.
"Well now, it is not just a thought, it is now a reality!", Emu said while hugging Tsukasa (Tsukasa almost suffocates)
"Now it will be more chaotic since we've got ourselves some love birds here.", Nene sighed
"Don't worry Nene-chan", Rui said and pulls Nene for a kiss. Nene blushes so hard.
Emu saw that Rui kissed Nene and suddenly kisses Tsukasa.
Tsukasa embraces Emu and promised that he will never ever leave her. "I will always love you, Emu."
Emu answers Tsukasa by "I will always love you too, Tsukasa-kun!" and they once again kissed
