Chapter Text
It’s been 10 years ever since I debuted as an idol.10 years ever since my childhood got stolen. I didn’t become an idol because I wanted to. My father pressures me to join my brother's idol team after I’m 14 years old. As he said, brothers need to support their brothers. I wonder what a normal life would feel like. No tight security system. Can talk to anyone which means you can choose your friend.
Soon enough, I found myself staring into the mirror for hours before my brother called me backstage. I looked back at my reflection and tried to tidy myself a little before coming along with them. I put on my best smile as I rapidly walked towards all of them.
“Hey Samael!” My twin Micheal greeted me as soon as he saw me.
“Micheal, I already told you to call me by my stage name Lucifer!” I said pouting a bit. He quickly apologised since he had forgotten my stage name.
“I mean Micheal has a point. You are the only one who has a stage name. All of us went by our real name.” His other brother, Raphiel tells him. I mean that is true. The reason I went by a stage name is because people are a creep sometimes. They would do anything just to get close to their favourite idol such as stalking. I prefer to be hidden with a name. It made me more comfortable knowing people can’t search for my other social media that I didn’t go with the stage name.
Azrael nudged Micheal to remind all of us that it is time for performing. Even though we have been performing on stage for such a long time, my heart couldn’t help but beat fast. I swallowed my saliva as the curtain revealed all of us one by one.
I walked toward the middle as my role in the group was the lead singer. I look in every direction making eye contact with each fan.
“Hello winners! Are we ready!?” I asked them which replied with a yes or scream.
“I CAN'T HEAR YOU GUYS!!” I said towards the microphone once again. They continued screaming. With that the song starts playing meaning we are going to perform.

( Alastor POV )
[Earlier in the morning]
I hummed jazz as I'm getting ready to go to work. Today will be a good day. I can feel it. Once I looked good enough, I walked downstairs to grab breakfast before leaving the house. I made some bread and venison since it's the only type of protein I had in the house for a moment.
After a while, I walked out of the house and started my way to the workplace. As I walked by, I greeted everyone who's walking on the path. I finally arrived at my workplace. I could tell my grin is widening even more.
“My my Alastor, what makes you happy today?” My co-star asked in a sarcastic way.
“I'm just simply happy to be here my dear! Nothing special” I answered them, taking my place next to them getting ready to start broadcasting.
“Sure sure whatever you say Alastor, by the way have you grabbed a ticket for the heavens prince concert?” They asked which I looked at them in a curious way.
“I'm sorry my dear but I seem never to have heard this… band before” as I informed them, they looked at me with a shock on their face. They then explain what the band is like and so on. I don’t really pay attention since that kind of stuff is not to my taste. I looked at the clock hanging on the walls. It looks like we need to be on air now. I quickly hushed telling them it's time to get on air.

What it seems like an hour, I finally finished my shift. That’s when my boss called all of us to his office. This made me wonder. Why did we get called? I mean we all did a great job, especially me. I mentally added the last one. As soon as we went to his office, he announced we will have the company anniversary at the heavens prince concert since almost all of the employees like the band. He also added that the ticket is free.
“What a coincidence am I right?” I muttered to myself. That’s true. Earlier, my co-star talked about them and now we got to see their concert for free. I thought for a moment. This could be a nice entertaining topic for tomorrow's broadcast. We all decided to meet up before the concert started so the boss could give us our tickets separately.
As soon as he dismissed all of us, I walked straight to my home since I wanted to be prepared for what could happen in the concert. I open my house door and close it before making my way to the bedroom. I pondered my mind as I’m thinking if I should be wearing casual or formal clothes. I finally decided to wear simple yet formal clothing since it's just a concert, nothing extraordinary.
The time is ticking. I reminded myself. I swiftly got myself ready as usual before I remembered that this concert also clashed with my time of ‘hunting’. I groaned a bit ; I guess it will be fine since I wasn’t the one paying for all of this and my boss would be mad if I didn’t come.

[Back to the current timeline. Before the band starts singing.]
We all took a seat near the front since it has a good view and nobody is seated there yet. It must be our lucky day as I thought to myself. We chatted a bit while waiting for them to set up. It took about 15 minutes before the light started to flicker. They changed from normal to colourful light. I must say that I’m impressed by that before the curtain started to reveal all the band members one by one.
In my perspective, everyone in the band is tall except one. As far as I can remember from what I have been told, all of them are siblings. The genes definitely didn’t go to the short one. They all have a signature pink blush. A little feminine than what I expected but who cares.
Soon enough the man started to talk into the microphone. He looked confident, I mentally added. If I’m being honest, his voice is truly an angelic sound but of course it won’t ever beat my charming voice. I said with pride. I focused on him for a little longer before he looked directly at me. Even though he isn't, it made my stomach flutter.
No. What is this feeling? It is a strange feeling and I didn’t want it. I wanted it gone but at the same time I don’t want it to go.
“This is sickening” I mumbled as I looked away from his gaze. It was making me lost.
