Work Text:

Ritsu cannot control his face as he saw his Maa-kun hugged the small Ryuusetai member. In the stage. In front of thousands of people.

Ritsu crossed his arms, fully stopped singing at this point. He can't help itㅡhe is petty. His unit members had told him to contain himself and not do PDA in front of the fans. "You'll scare the fans," was what
Sena told him. The very same guy who was shouting 'Yuu-kun!' at the top of his lungs and rolling down the stage because of how fast he ran, trying to catch Makoto.

Hypocrite.

He probably stopped singing for a good five seconds before people around him realised that he's not singing. Mao quickly turned to his boyfriend whose face shows the severity of disappointment he felt.

The red head opened his arms wide, face beaming with a fond smile.

Ritsu sobered up immediately, looking at Mao wirh disbelief. He glanced to the open arms and Mao's face a few times, as if he's distrustful. But the smile on Mao's face is unchanging, so he very slowly walked forward and circled his arms around the younger, sighing in relief.

His body went completely lax as he practically melt in Maa-kun's arm. From above him he can hear Mao giggling as he pulled Ritsu closer into his arms.

"You are just adorable, Ritchan." He felt kiss pressed on top of his head. "Let's continue singing?"

Ritsu emerged with a smile as he nodded. Somewhere in the background, he can hear the small Ryuusetai member (Sengoku, his mind chastised. But booo he wants to be petty) squeal at their interaction. Ritsu decided to also grabs him into a side hug, startling the kid. He quickly regained his stupor and just beamed.

Oh kid. You're okay. But if Ritsu placed himself in the middle of the hug as they walk to the centre stage, no one can say anything about that, right?

The three of them continued to sing together while slowly walking to the centre stage. As briefed, each member will have to stand with their unit on the finale of the song. He met Arashi's teasing gaze as he came and stood by her side. He could've also sworn that Sena huffed from somewhere on his left.

Whatever. He got a very public hug from his very shy boyfriend. Maybe joint live is good afterall.

Notes:

Starry symphony live day 3 had me on a chokehold. I know Yuki Kaji was a good singer but he's absolutely stellar on live performance holyshit. I cannot believe he out-stabled (?) Shigematsu Chiharu. Wow. Amazing. It has been weeks and I'm still daydreaming about his highnote. Especially findergirl. Wow. Hopefully he will always be present on all starphony.
