Chapter Text

The morning news is filled with headlines like these with news sites and networks talking about the recent news, that Riku Nanase has disappeared, it was sudden and is currently unexplained. No one can miss the news about Riku, including non-idol fans who wake up only to be greeted with the morning news explaining all of the known information about the idol's disappearance. Yesterday at 3 PM, after a photoshoot done in East Tokyo, Riku walked out of the studio and went left to where a train station is located but didn't arrive at the location, it was only a five-minute walk to the train station. Riku's fellow idol, Yamato Nikaido was in contact with him over texts starting from when Riku was in the lobby of the studio up until Riku stopped talking back and he disappeared. Riku's phone was found in a waste bin by the train station. No more information is currently known to the wider public, though if people do know any information it would be appreciated by the police.

After looking at the many headlines and the current information about the idol, he turns his phone off and grabs the remote for the TV in front of his bed, he gets comfy and puts his arm around the other in bed, who is asleep. He turns the TV on with a click of the remote only to see members of IDOLiSH7 staring back at him, mainly Nagi Rokuya and Iori Izumi. The two men are in full suits, with Nagi speaking without his usual accent in a clear and straightforward manner about the fact that Yes, Riku is missing and the police are currently looking for him around where his phone was found, "We ask the public, our fans, and collaborators for help with searching for Riku, this is a serious manner. We hope to find him soon, we apologise for any disturbances this has caused." Nagi bows his head as cameras flash before he straitens up and looks forward to the cameras, with a completely straight face. A cough came from Iori Izumi as the cameras pan to him as he starts "The police haven't informed us any more than you about Nanase-san's disappearance, though they are currently accepting help from the public, currently just information," He bows his head similar to Nagi as cameras flash before putting his head up and continuing, "We won't be pursuing or producing music nor accepting any collaborators until Riku is found, we will also be aiding in the search for Riku in any way possible."

The person with the controller moves onto the next channel, he had seen enough of the two idols, only to be greeted with more idols. The idol groups TRIGGER and Re:vale in fact, they appear to be on a morning talk show with the idols themselves looking between the hosts and the cameras, behind them is a screen with "RIKU NANASE MISSING?!" on it in big works with a picture of the Riku beside it, "-We hope for Nanase to be found soon and unharmed, although that would be the best case scenario." Gaku Yaotome states, with Ryunosuke and Momo nodding their head, a nod from the hosts can also be seen. A small silence sits in the air before one of the hosts begins saying, "We are all probably wondering one big question though, has Riku decided to go missing on purpose, has he just gotten lost or is foul play at hand?" a murmuring from the live studio audience can be heard. "Riku wouldn't get lost." Yuki said flat, before explaining "Riku and me have been to that studio before and have walked to that station before, it is a straight walk to the station." Not leaving room for the hosts to talk. "Riku wouldn't decide to go missing by himself either," Tenn Kujo butts in, "Although he has had some tough time working in this industry, he has never ran away from it, he is dedicated to being there for his fans." Tenn finished before Ryunosuke adds, "I agree with that, sometimes Riku-kun asks me for advice from time to time and I can tell that recently, he's been good in himself and in his career."

After Ryunosuke's addition, non of the idols or the hosts states the fact that only one possibility remained. That foul play is at hand, and that Riku has been kidnapped, or worse. The TV has now been turned off. A smirk arrives on the man's mouth before a chuff comes out which quickly turns into a laugh, he sits there on his bed laughing to himself before stopping, his sharp yellow eyes fall onto the other in the bed with him, the one he has his arm around for the past few minutes, and the reason why a smile has been eating away at his cheek muscles since he woke up less than ten minutes ago, Riku Nanase, The Missing Idol, is in bed right next to him.

Now the Idol hasn't been tarnished in any way, the purple-haired man wouldn't allow anything bad to befall the man whilst asleep. Riku was fast asleep, on his back, with the other's arm around his shoulders. Riku was still in the clothes that he wore yesterday, some baggy clothing that needed to be changed, and the bag that the man wore the day previously was sitting in the other room. He didn't need it. Riku was sleeping like an angel, and could easily be described as one unlike his brother Tenn, the man knows of Tenn Kujo's true nature, his real face, his real attitude. He despised it, though that's what makes Riku an actual angel, unlike Tenn, Riku was true, to himself, he had no hidden sides, he was himself and himself is an angel with a cherub's smile. Sometimes the man's yellow eyes spy a halo on top of Riku's head.

Ryou's arm slithers from behind Riku's head though doesn't leave him completely, instead going to hold Riku's hair, specifically the longer bit of hair on the right side of his face. The hair feels soft and unmatted, Ryou kept on moving the hair between his thumb and pointer finger. As he keeps on moving the hair, he thinks about how lucky he is for this opportunity, he is laying by the other's side with the other staying by his side for a long time. Riku will understand in the morning. Ryou moves his fingers to put the long strand of hair behind Riku's ear, leaving Riku's face open to him, Ryou touches his soft cheek, only with his pointer finger. Ryou has to starve himself of Riku, or he'll eat Riku all in one go.

A hungry expression has taken over Ryou's face since he took a hold of Riku, though Riku should know why, as Ryou is the only one who loves him.
