Chapter Text
"You've got an hour til the shoot, get to changing your two."
"Right!"
The same routine, the same process.
But this time things were a bit different.
Shiho was an up and coming actor, only starring in a few small films and being a side character in a big film. But now she's preparing to shoot the first scene of a multimillion dollar film. And as a main character nonetheless! Frankly though she had virtually no interest in the plot of the film. It was a classic bad boy x poor girl cliche story where the FL has a rich girl rival. Who is even funding this stuff?
Not to mention Shiho didn't even audition. She was scouted because of a certain someone's recommendation. That being a very popular actor known as Nene Kusanagi. She was known for her extreme dedication to all her roles and being a bit of an ice queen—which contradicted her sweet appearance. But Shiho knew a side of her that others didn't. That coldness the green haired girl exhibited was really just her nerves and aloof nature. She truly was a kind person. Shiho only had the privilege to know this much about Nene because they were very close. Infact, if the media found out how close they were their careers could very well be over.
But they can't let that happen.
"Could you turn your head this way, Hinomori-san?" Shiho's stylist asked.
Shiho hummed to herself as the woman doing her make-up brushed blush against her cheeks. The make-up she was getting done was very... bold. Nothing she'd put on outside of this set. But she was playing the rival mean girl in this film, and of course she had to be a snobby rich girl who needs to look like she's pampered every second of her life.
"So cliche..."
After her make-up was finished she fixed up her hair and stood up out of seat.
"Hinomori-san." A familiar voice called out to her. Shiho turned to be met face to face with Nene. She fought back the wide smile daring to spread across her face.
"Ah, are you getting changed soon?" Shiho asked.
"No, I'm already ready."
Shiho gave her a puzzled look, scanning her eyes up and down Nene.
"You're not exactly dressed like a girl living in poverty.."
The green haired girl chuckled and shook her head. The way the other laughed made Shiho's throat close up hearing it.
"That's just how things are. They want the main character to look good even when it doesn't make sense plot wise."
Ah. This small talk was nice, even with the eyes on them. Though she had to admit the hushed whispers were getting to her.
Noticing Shiho's slight change in mood, Nene grabbed her hand and led them out of the changing room. Shiho mouthed yhe words "thank you" to her stylist as she was led out of the room.
"We still have 30 minutes til shooting starts." Shiho commented while checking her watch: now leaning against the hallway wall. Most of the staff were on the set preparing the props and camera, which left the two women some time alone. It was a peaceful moment with just the distant sound of chatter on the set, reminding the both of them of when they would cuddle on the couch of their shared apartment on a busy city street.
"Are you excited to shoot? It is your first major role afterall." The green hair girl spoke up.
After a few long seconds of silence, Shiho nodded.
"I'm more nervous than anything. I mean— have to be rude to you..." Shiho sighed.
"...even if it's just acting I still feel bad just thinking about it." The taller one nearly laughed at herself when the last sentence left her mouth. It was honestly embarrassing admitting this aloud.
But she knew it was okay if it was Nene that heard.
Suddenly Shiho felt a familiar warmth wrap around her hand. Nene slowly brought shiho's hand up to her mouth and finally placed a soft kiss on the others knuckle.
The action surprised Shiho at first but it wasn't the first time Nene pulled something like this. Despite Nene stating how she was hopeless with giving affection, these random moments of PDA spoke otherwise. Shiho was an absolute sucker for this girl.
"Uhm.. hopefully that calmed your nerves."
Nene mumbled. Her cheeks visibly flushing.
"Hmhm, it did. When this shoot is over lets go get something nice to eat. We'll get your favorite." Shiho placed her hand on top of Nene's.
"Favorite...? Ah but that would go against my diet-"
"Don't say that. Just consider is a cheat day." The gray haired girl interrupted.
Before Nene could respond a loud voice cut through their peaceful moment.
"Kusanagi! Hinomori! We need you on the set now!" The director called.
The two women immediately separated and dusted off their outfits.
"Coming!" They both responded in unison. Nene and Shiho paused to look at eachother.
"We're like- in sync." Nene giggled.
"Wouldn't have it any other way." Shiho replied.
