"How's our performances?"

"....."

"Hm hm! I understand what you meant!"

"What he meant, Momo? He doesn't even say a word."

"He meant it's too great that he doesn't have any word to say! See! Tenn agree too!!"

Or Gaku and Ryuu bring Tenn to Revale concert.

The next time Gaku visit, Angel Tenn was back again. There's some disappointed feeling in him- He slapped himself, shocking the quiet boy beside him. He shouldn't feel down about it! Tenn is Tenn! He had this brilliant plan to get closer with Tenn. So, he asked Tenn if Tenn what to go with him.

"To where....? Also, is it okay for me to go out?" Angel Tenn asked, tilted his head a bit as soon Gaku told him that brilliant plan. Gaku saw a flash of frown on Tenn's face but quickly gone.

"To an idol concert. Of course it it! I already got permission from your doctor and your mother! Your mother look so happy y'know."

Yes. This so called brilliant plan was bringing Tenn to a concert. What? It's Re:vale! Who wouldn't want to see Re:vale perform? Plus, Ryuu will tag along too. So that's what Gaku told Tenn. Tenn respond with-

"Okay..."

Of course.... Didn't Riku told him that Tenn used to sing a lot? Shouldn't Tenn act more excite? This guy's emotion really dead because of trauma. Well, that will change! Why? Because Gaku's here to bring hope for Tenn! He's an idol alright. What's more nice, he brought some clothes for Tenn too. What a nice person he was. Haha not really. Tenn's mother gave him those clothes. She wanted her son to wear something nice outside.

After Tenn change his clothes, one thing appeared in Gaku's mind. That oversized baggy clothes looks cute on Tenn- No! He didn't think about that! He didn't!! Though, it's kinda odd to see Tenn in casual outfits. "How does it feel to wear something beside that hospital gown?"

"I don't know..."

Of course-

"But it's comfortable..."

..... Yosh. Another pat for Gaku.

Well, ignore that! Now let's meet up with Ryuu! So, they met each other. It's kinda hard to introduce yourself if that one person hide behind him. Yes. Tenn was hiding behind him as soon Ryuu greeted them. Poor the big guy. Ryuu didn't do anything wrong. Damn, why did he felt like a parent trying to introduce their son to someone. Why was Tenn act like that anyway? Ryuu wasn't that scary right?

Even though that's what Gaku thought, he perfectly aware why Tenn was like Tenn. He could even felt Tenn's hands shaking, held his jacket while hide behind him. Trauma really hard to get over. Though, that still doesn't make Ryuu's friendly smile falter a bit. He held out something to Tenn, it's a box with a word 'Izumi' on it. Gaku wondered what it is- How the heck that box suddenly appear like that?! He pretty sure Ryuu didn't hold anything earlier!

"Here, Tenn! I bought these donuts just for you! Try it!"

"Wait. Since when you have those?!" Gaku pointed at the box in Ryuu's hand.

Ryuu raised his unused hand to scratch his head. "Haha... You said Tenn likes donut. I'm not sure if this is the same Tenn you talked about but I want to make Tenn trust me. I heard somewhere you can gain people's trust from food. Something like, the way to a person's heart is through their stomach!"

Just where the heck Ryuu heard that? Isn't that some kind of strategy for children to follow and lead to kidnap... Isn't Ryuu a big brother.... Gaku realized what he just thought, he mentally punch himself. Why he suddenly thought about kidnap?! That's a bad topic for Tenn!!

As if teleportation happened, Tenn suddenly in front of Ryuu and immediately took the food.

Gaku's mouth agape in incredulity. Are you a kid or what, Tenn?!

Tenn look up at Ryuu, as if asking for permission. Ryuu smiled gently from the youngest's action. "It's yours. You can eat it." With those words left from Ryuu, Tenn took a small bite and pause. That made Ryuu concerned a bit. "What's wrong, Tenn? It isn't your liking?" That also snapped Gaku out of his shock, as he looked at Tenn worriedly.

Tenn shook his head, told Ryuu no, and smile. It's the same smile he gave to Gaku so it gave Ryuu chill through his body but he hide that discomfort with a laugh. "Ahaha! Is that so?" He glad that Tenn smile to him but he couldn't help but felt weird. No, no, he won't let his emotions get in the way to develop a friendship with Tenn. "You like it?" Which Tenn nodded. "Then, all in the box is yours."

The smile slowly fell from Tenn's face, look down at those donuts in the box, which Ryuu still held. Tenn softly muttered, Ryuu almost didn't catch that. "Really..?"

Ryuu's face lit up like a child received their christmas present. Tenn talked to him! Though, it's just a word but still a something! "Really. If you can't eat all of this, you have us as your other stomachs!"

Now that Gaku finally recovered from shock, he could comment things. "Soba is another story, you do know I can't eat dessert that much, Ryuu." He study at the... how much were donuts in that box exactly...? There's a lot different of flavors too... It's bad... He didn't know if his body can handle all that sugar. He didn't want to get fat!

"It's fine! I'm sure we can finish it! I believe in us!"

Ryuu, are you not worry gaining weight? "Don't talk like you're a shounen protagonist... We're not even in anime shounen....."

Listened to those two banter, Tenn took another bite at the donut on his hand. His gaze switched from Gaku to Ryuu, as if he watch a comedy show. Shounen anime... Protagonist... He was not the protagonist and pretty sure he not suitable for that role. But Gaku would be a great protagonist. Gaku made him feel lighter than usual... He blinked, realized that he already finished the donut on his hand. He took another one from the box and bitted it. He looked down at the donut on his hand with an almost sad look.

'Riku would love this.'

"Tenn."

Tenn blinked, went back from his own world. Gaku was calling him and he just noticed something. Another donut gone from his hand as he shallow it before his eyes went to meet with Gaku's. Ah, Gaku's face was too close with his. Since when Gaku stood before him, Tenn wondered.

"What are you daydreaming of? I've been calling you for awhile."

Tenn blinked again. He was?

Gaku gave him a grin, Gaku pointed his thumb towards somewhere. "C'mon. Don't want you to miss this concert. You won't regret this." Ryuu also agreed by smiled at Tenn.

Somehow, Tenn's heart was beating so much. He not sure if it his excitement or anxiety but he had these two. They won't leave him alone right? Somewhere in his mind keep screaming 'yes' to his doubt. That enough to ease him a bit. He held out his hand, grabbed Gaku's lower sleeve and nodded. He really liked those smiles on them.

"But why are you two wear those things?" True to his words, both Gaku and Ryuu black face masks and sunglasses with hoodie up. "You guys look like some random dudes try to act edgy." He knew he shouldn't comment that but those words already fell out from his lips.

"Devil Tenn is rubbing into him- I told you we shouldn't overdo our disguise!"

"B-but people always recognize me!"

"You have too much ikemen aura!"

Tenn pretended he didn't hear them whispering to each other. He actually glad that they not mad at him for being rude.

They don't have to use transportation to go to concert since it's not that far from the hospital. So they walk! Thank goodness both of the idols took off some of the disguise. They don't have any other choice if there's fans recognize them. Ran for your life.

So far, Tenn just followed them even with cat and mouse thing happened, he just followed. Of course while eating those delicious donuts. He didn't know where this concert was so he just followed like a baby chick follow their mother. Oh, maybe mothers in his case. He didn't know why he thought about that. Maybe because he wanted to distract himself from thinking about those people around him. There's so many people. Many people... Those people raised their hands to him-

"We're here, Tenn!"

Fortunately, Gaku's loud voice pulled Tenn out from his thoughts before it become more heavy. He looked up at Gaku's face, who had a grin and he turned to Ryuu's too. Ryuu had this soft look and smile, like a big brother look. He didn't know why it's like a big brother. He just knew it. He looked at where Gaku's gaze was and yeah, this place was huge. "It's huge." He said it because he didn't know what else to say.

Gaku turn his head toward Tenn really fast. Tenn could swear that neck could snap anytime. "That's your reaction?! Just wait until you see our seniors's performance!" Even though Gaku speak loudly, that doesn't make Tenn flinch a bit. Rather than flinch, it almost make his lips twist a smile. Almost. Though, that second sentence made his curiosity grew. "Seniors?"

Ryuu threw the empty box into the rubbish bin as he talked to Tenn. "I'm sure Gaku told you before. We're going to watch Re:vale perform. Re:vale are our seniors." He put his hand in his jeans pocket and gave Tenn the thing he took out. "Here, it's the ticket for the concert."

They bought this ticket for him? Tenn stared at the ticket before he took it from Ryuu's hand. Is it okay for him to take this? He didn't take his eyes off from the ticket he held. Something warm on his heart, shook him from his thoughts as he looked up at the culprit. Ryuu smiled gently while ruffled Tenn's soft hair.

"It's fine really. You never been to anything like this right?

"Oh god."

Gaku who had been silent this whole time suddenly spoke, grabbed both Ryuu and Tenn attention. "Gaku? What's wrong?"

Gaku held out his phone for both of them to see. "Momo-san saw us." In the screen, show us rabbit chat with Momo.

Momo : TRIGGER FOUND YOU! Hehe, I see... Our enemies is in our territory. We awaiting your presence before this war start, our dear juniors!

Tenn blinked in confusion while both of TRIGGER let out sighs. "What does this 'Momo-san' mean? We're not in war."

"Tenn, it's just a metaphor. Basically, he just wants to meet us before the concert start."

"Oh."

------

Tenn didn't know what to expect from Gaku's and Ryuu's seniors when they introduced their seniors. Those guys were scary at first but they not scary, just... he didn't know the word.. Though, one of them suddenly thought that he's Gaku and Ryuu's child? Why that guy- umm... Momo? Why Momo thought that? But they're friendly. Momo was talking to him about something but he just too busy with his thoughts. He's so friendly to him. He's friendly..... They're friendly......

There's flash of smiling guys before those friendly smiles turned into devilish grins-

Those thoughts alone made him hide behind Gaku, when Momo tried to hug him. He felt guilty to see that rejected look on Momo's face. He wanted to apologize but his hands won't budged from gripping Gaku's shirt. Ryuu was apologized for him. He should do that too. He should- The long haired man, Yuki suddenly bent down a bit to face him, threw him from his thoughts. Yuki gave a soft smile and said things to him.

"....." He didn't know what to say.

His grips on Gaku's shirt slackened a bit, released his hands from the fabric as he went out from his hiding place. Yuki and Momo aren't like them. They're idols. Idols job was to bring hope to people. Just like what Yuki said earlier. And! A-and...

"We, Re:vale, will bring hope to everyone. That's include you."

Hope... He gave up on hope ever since he lost his Riku. At the corner of his eyes, he saw someone moved towards him. His eyes turned a bit at Momo and saw that bright face, he forgot what he thought earlier. Why he gave up on hope.....? Before he could ponder on that more, arms enveloped around him. This time, he didn't flinch as he stood there. The hug only last seconds with Momo withdraw his arms.

He couldn't help but missed the warmth.

-------

"My my, Momo, are you cheating on me? In front of me even."

"Noooo!! I will never cheat on you, Yuki!!" Momo's eyes softened, recalled the hug he gave to Tenn. "You already know right? He had that look... I just thought... Maybe he need a hug... Aaah! I actually glad that I did it!"

Yuki just stared at Momo silently, slightly smile at the thought. "I know. He had that look." A sudden chuckle escaped from his lips. "Now, this just make me fire up for this concert. I never thought I will use this word."

"I'll always fire up for you, Yuki!!!"

"..... Momo-"

"That sounds weird. I know."

------

They found their sits, looked around, marveled towards the sight around them. There's too many people in this place.

"Woah... There's a lot people... Even more than our's concert."

"Sasuga Re:vale...."

The duo gazed around in awe while Tenn overwhelmed by the crowd. Too many people. Even more than those fans that had chasing them earlier. Too many people. Too many. That fact kept repeating in his mind. He didn't want to ruin this concert just because he afraid. That's why he tried to ignore that fact that's been chanting in his head nonstop. He bit his lower lip, clutched both his hands and just focused on positive thoughts.

Unknown to Tenn, Ryuu noticed his behaviors. "Te-"

"Oh! There they're!" Gaku's voice interrupted Ryuu and in cue, screams from the fans followed after Gaku's statement.

Despite the anxiety slowly took over his body, Tenn look up towards the stage, where the two figures stood. Then, the music start.

To experience something like this for the first time, Tenn didn't have any word to say. He watched the duo sang and danced in awe, perhaps his jaw dropped a bit. He didn't notice that Ryuu was watching at him with a soft look. He also didn't notice that Ryuu nudged Gaku as the gray haired man switch his attention from the stage to him. In fact, Tenn didn't even aware what's going on around him. His pink eyes locked at the stars on the stage.

They're great. The singing, the dance, everything. It's great. They're shining so bright.

He wanted Riku to see this.

------

Gaku went back to watch his seniors with a proud feeling inside him. He didn't regret at all, his plan to bring Tenn here was a success then! The sudden cheer near him startled both him and Ryuu.

"Wooohooo!!! Re:vale! Re:vale!"

Gaku and Ryuu gaped at the sight before them. Tenn waved both his hands like some maniac fans, cheered loudly with a bright smile. What the heck. Did Tenn just- no. Riku?!

"Wha- Riku?! I thought you said that you won't come out?" Gaku carefully tried not to grab the young man's wrists harshly, like what had happened when he accidentally gripped Tenn's wounded hand. He held the wrists and put those hands down. He quickly let go of the hands before other unnecessary thought take over his mind.

Riku snapped from his fan mode and blinked at Gaku and then Ryuu, confusedly. His eyes widened at the sudden realization. "Eh? Ehh?! Uwah!! Bad Riku! Bad Riku! Aahhh!! I don't know what came over me! I could feel Tenn-nii enjoying since ages and then I- Urgh! Bad Riku!" Everytime he said 'bad Riku', he will hit himself. Though, not that hard that it will leave some wounds. He would never harm his Tenn-nii. (Y'know, I originally didn't put that hitting himself. It was inspired by Ensemble Stars event story, Switch event story. Which is when Natsume hit himself- his interaction with other Switch members are hilarious.)

Ryuu, being the brother figure himself, tried his best to calm Ten- uh Riku down. He gently held Riku's hands to prevent the young man hitting himself any longer. "Te-Uh.. Riku right? Please calm down. It's not a big deal. You can enjoy this too, y'know." (Ryuu, thank goodness you're not like Tsumugi(from Ensemble Stars). You don't want to know how he deal with Natsume hitting himself. Wait, why am I still talking about enstars? This is Idolish7 fanfic...)

Riku vigorously shook his head. "Nonono! Tenn-nii need to enjoy this! Bye!" With that, his body fell down. Fortunately, Ryuu was holding his hands as Ryuu caught him before his face meet with the floor. They couldn't even react as they didn't have time to react, Tenn opened his eyes. Half lidded, the first thing he saw was Ryuu's worry eyes since from outsiders perspective, he looked like being embraced by Ryuu.

"Tenn...?"

Ryuu asked with concern tone could heard in that tone he used. In instant, Gaku firmly held Tenn's shoulders as Ryuu released his arms from Tenn. Gaku stared into Tenn's eyes. "Where are you right now?"

Tenn seemed to process the question, the song from the background finally reached Tenn's ears and then he blinked, found an answer. "Big stadium. We're watching Re:vale."

Gaku released a relief sigh. Thank goodness Tenn still remember, even that answer seemed childish...

Tenn seemed to just noticed those concern faces toward him. "What.... Happened...?"

"Nothing bad happened. I promise. Okay... Okay.... What's my name?"

"...... Goku?" (Sometimes, I keep misspelling Gaku's name to Goku. So why not use it here? But seriously. O and A really far from each other on keyboard so why I keep misspelling?!)

"I'm not that idiot from Dra**n B*ll."

"Hmm... Oh.... Gaku."

"I don't know why for some reason that proud face piss me off."

"How do you know what kind of face Tenn is making when I can't even read his face....." Ryuu mumbled under his breath. He shook his head tiredly then smiled as if those thoughts didn't just appeared in his mind. "I'm sure he just proud that he remembers your name, Gaku. What about me, Tenn? Do you remember my name?"

"..... Ryuu.. right?"

"Haha, one point for you!"

"Why he remembers you but not me?!"

"Maa maa... At least he remembers right? Also-" Ryuu place his point finger on his lips, made a silence signal. "We're still in concert. We shouldn't talk at all while they're performing. They would be mad if they know we didn't focus on them." Ryuu turned back his attention to the duo on stage.

Tenn redirected his gaze toward the duo on the stage and went back to his state earlier before the switch happened. Tenn watched with awe, Gaku gawked at Tenn's change of behavior. Tenn really acted as if nothing happened. He really couldn't understand that boy and that strange illness. A few tapped on his shoulder made him turned his head toward the person who tapped him. Ryuu sent him a concern look.

"Gaku, was that normal...?"

"Yeah... We just need to be more ready if it happen again."

-------

Their day almost finish with the end of the concert. They met with the pair of the stars briefly before they went to another destination, by transportation obliviously. Didn't want the history repeat again... Gaku glanced at the younger ones beside him, a smile brought went it's way on his face. Tenn had that soft smile ever since he met Re:vale at the end of the concert. Gaku really glad.

Ryuu, the driver, watched the duo from the mirror as he smiled to himself. He switched his focus on the road. They still need to visit a place before they send Tenn back to hospital. A somber look flashed on his face when he thought about hospital. People usually take therapy for mental health problem. It must be worst than he thought if Tenn's in hospital.

Before that thought could turn to worse, Ryuu saw that familiar place. He parked the car near that place and declared with a grin. "We're here!" He stared at the building that surrounded by lake with a determination look.

It's the Zero Arena.

Ryuu could feel his smile went wide when he saw that same look Tenn had back when they with Re:vale. When they went out from the van, Tenn walked as his feet stopped when his hands held on the fence, stared at the water, his reflection on the water. Ryuu hurriedly went beside Tenn as Tenn almost let himself fall from the fence. "T-Tenn! That's dangerous don't do that again!"

Gaku followed them from behind. "Pfft. What a child." He teased Tenn. If Ryuu look around, he would see a panic face on Gaku's face. He would realize about why. Tenn was suicidal.

"Can't he let his inner child take over him, Gaku?" Ryuu scolded Gaku and then talk to Tenn in a motherly tone. "Tenn, you will fall if you not careful." He unconsciously patted Tenn's head, earned a surprise look from the younger. "Ah! I- I shouldn't do that right?!" Before he could retreat his hand, Tenn shook his head. With a tint of red on his face, he mumbled.

"No. I... like it."

Both of the idols gave each other a look with grins on their faces.

Another improvement!

"Why.. are we here actually...?" Tenn asked while locked his gaze toward the stadium as the duo did the same.

"We never get to perform there." Gaku started.

"Really..?" Tenn raised both his eyebrows.

Ryuu placed his arms on the fence, still haven't turn his gaze away from the huge building. "Yeah. We're just newbies. We're not popular like Re:vale."

"But those fans..." Tenn shivered when the thought back to those fans chasing them.

"Hahaha! They're just like that! Though, it's really a coincidence. There's always people know us whenever we go out."

"That's because you're a magnet ladies, Ryuu."

"Gaku!"

Both of them laughed before went back to comfortable silence. Tenn liked this atmosphere, listened to those two joking around, he somehow missed it. They're idols.... "Is it fun.. being an idol?" Is it fun? Because of those attention.. he didn't think it fun at all.

"Yeah, it is."

Gaku answered Tenn immediately without a second wait caused Tenn to look up at Gaku, surprised but didn't show it on his face. Gaku keep looking forward, his chin on his palm with a small smile on. "It's our job. What's the point of doing job we not enjoy? In my opinion, doing a job we enjoy can be a motivation for us to move forward. Yes. There'll be many hard time but that's what life is. I enjoy helping out at soba shop whenever I'm free."

Ryuu felt so proud. "Gaku..."

"Argh! Shut it! I know what you're going to say!"

Ryuu chuckle at Gaku's reply. He gave Tenn a soft look. "Gaku already said everything I want to. At first, I'm really not fond of this job. But as time passes by, I actually enjoy it. Like Gaku said, motivation come from the enjoyment right?"

Tenn looked down at his hands, slowly grasped it into fists. 'Enjoy..... Do I deserve to have that?' Before he could ponder more on that question, a voice suddenly called his name out from the distance. He flinched upon hearing that tone from the voice.

"Nanase Tenn? It's really you! It's been awhile since high school huh?"

Gaku immediately stood in front of Tenn with scowl on his face. From that reaction, Gaku could guess that person aren't friendly. "Who are you?" That person was a male and around the same age as Tenn. And that cocky smile on his face really pissed Gaku off for some reason. Well, he managed to make Gaku more mad with the next words he said.

"Tenn, why don't you introduce me huh? Aren't we friends?"

Friends?! Gaku gritted his teeth, at any moment that rage would go out of control. He reminded of his first meet with Tenn. Tenn's friends stopped visit him at some point. What kind of friends are they?! Before he could do something dumb, Ryuu placed a hand on his shoulder, calmed him a bit. A bit.

Ryuu gave their guest a stern look. "Why don't you introduce yourself? You're being quite rude. That's not how to talk to your elder." He wanted to say more but he shut his mouth when he heard Tenn mumbled to them.

".... He's someone from my high school..." Ryuu couldn't help but frowned when he heard that. He heard that correctly right? He didn't like the way that guy act toward Tenn.

Unfortunately, dear unwanted guest heard that. "So you can talk huh? I thought you're mute after that day."

Why that guy kept talking to Tenn like that. "That's not nice! Why are you talking to Tenn like that?!" Now Ryuu couldn't keep his good man face as he glared at the person. If it not for Ryuu's strong arm, Gaku could beat up that guy. Not that he doesn't want it to happen, he didn't want news about idol punch people to go around like that.

That person ignored Ryuu and kept talking to Tenn. "What? Are you hiding behind people again? Then, what would happen after that? Harm him like how you did to Wakana?"

Gaku could feel the shakiness from Tenn's grips on his shirt. Both of the idols heard Tenn muttered the mention name. They doesn't care what Tenn did. He's their friend. "Oi, stop it! What the heck is wrong with you?!" And Ryuu hundred percent agree with Gaku.

That guy didn't stop. "Didn't you guys know? Tenn here was a weirdo in our class. Sometimes he quiet and sometimes he loud! There's also rumors about he was the reason his brother is dead now! That poor guy."

Ryuu clenched his teeth together. Don't talk to Tenn like that!! It's not his fault! What's with being weird? There's nothing wrong with it. But that's the thing. Some people in Japan always avoid being the center of people's eyes. They would try to be normal in order not to gather people's attention. That's usually how bullying start. Just because you're weird in their eyes. Ryuu could grasped a bit with how that guy was to Tenn. And he didn't like it at all. But first thing first. He needed information. "How are you here?"

"It's our school graduation party. It's nearby here. I walked around and look what I found!" That grin on that guy's face didn't help at all.

Ryuu stroked his furrowed brow, thinking how he shouldn't let this situation go any further. He glanced at Tenn, Tenn still unmoving ever since that guy speak. He couldn't even see Tenn's expression with how Tenn lowered his head, letting the bangs cover his face. Gaku not even better. Ryuu understand that Gaku's tried not to beat this guy but isn't Gaku the leader? Shouldn't Gaku do something? Ryuu mentally shook his head. No, no, he's the oldest here. He should do something. First, he should comfort Tenn.

Before Ryuu could even talk to Tenn, that guy spoke as if he just realize something. "That's right... Do you even know the real reason why he's in hospital in the first place? He almost kill his own classmate! He even hurt his own friends!! Especially, Wakana. She always been with him but what he return to her? A big scar."

Ryuu didn't know how to react as he process all that information. His mind was lagging a bit from those words thrown to them. With that, Gaku escaped from Ryuu's grips. Gaku tighten his fists, ready to streak a punch on that guy. The grips on his shirt gone, as he stopped from raise his hands, he realized that Tenn already went, facing with that bastard. He looked at Ryuu and saw that Ryuu also had the same expression he had.

".... What are you, a child? What an immature reason is that."

Those cocky look replace with anger. "Huh?!"

Tenn raised his head, blank eyes devoid of any emotion met with the unwelcome guest's eyes. It's actually look scary when you stare into his eyes glinted with some unknown light. "I'm just saying you should go back to elementary school. Or perhaps, go back to your mommy and daddy. Oh yes. They still spoil you right? Like a princess." Tenn scoffed. "Maybe I should call you princess, hm?"

That guy tremble with anger as he gritted his teeth, a tint of red could see on his cheeks. "Y-you..!"

"What are you gonna do? Brag to your parents about this? Or maybe.... Hmm... Do you want the same thing happen to you? I can just do it right now. In fact, I can kill you too. They won't put me into jail. Because I'm crazy aren't I? I'm so crazy that they put me in hospital instead." Tenn took a step toward the guy. The guy took a clumsy step back from Tenn. Tenn tilted his head, face still blank as ever, then, he smiled. "Nee, I will do it y'know. I still hate you after what you said about Riku."

The poor(not) guy immediately ran away from Tenn with a scream as if Tenn will chase after him. Of course Tenn won't. Tenn won't chase after that kind of guy.

Gaku and Ryuu stared at Tenn, shock about what just happened earlier. Gaku thought to himself. Devil Tenn? Wait... He noticed that Tenn's hands was trembling. Following that, irregular panting finally reach their ears. The duo went to Tenn's side. Tenn was breathing really heavy as if he can't breathe.

"Gaku! He's having panic attack!"

"What should we do?! I don't know how to deal with one!"

Is he serious?! Ryuu couldn't help but commented mentally. Gaku have been with Tenn more than him. Good thing he did his research so he hope it help a bit. "J-just follow my actions!" He gently placed Tenn's shaky hand on his own heart. "Tenn, you can feel my heartbeat right? Just try to follow it okay?" Far from his stressed voice earlier, he talked to Tenn in calm and soft tone. "It's okay... We're here for you. You're not alone, Tenn. Try to take a deep breath and release it." Tenn followed his instructions to his joy, it brought a relief smile on his face.

Gaku immediately caught on what Ryuu did as he rubbed Tenn's back gently. He frowned a bit when his hand could feel the shakiness from Tenn's body. "Try to follow what Ryuu said, Tenn. We're here. You can do it."

Gradually, Tenn's breath went back to normal pace.

"...... I-I did g-great right....?" Came Tenn's soft voice that could barely hear by them.

Both of the duo share a look. Tenn meant about his earlier unexpected sharp-tongued right? Ryuu gave Gaku a firm nod, letting Gaku to answer Tenn. Gaku held Tenn's other hand as Tenn weakly gaze toward Gaku with his half lidded eyes. Gaku grinned. "Absolutely. You scared that guy away. I think he almost pee in his pants y'know?"

It's a miracle. The ever Tenn's blank eyes finally light up as Tenn smile from that compliment. It's not that weird smile, it's a genuine smile. "I-I'm g-glad..." After he uttered that words, he immediately fell forward. Luckily, Gaku and Ryuu were there before his face could meet with the ground.

"T-Tenn?!"

"Sorry.... I'm just.. so tired...." Tenn weakly muttered.

Gaku huffed with a grin. "Well, today's trip is going to end then!"

Ryuu smiled. "Yeah. Tenn, let me carry you on my back." He said that as he received a sound like agreement from Tenn.

While those two do their thing, Gaku forgot to check his phone so he did. He almost let his phone crash to the ground. "Oh god." Gaku showed them his phone. "Nanase-san will kill me."

Even when he could barely lift his eyelids, Tenn read all the threatening his mother gave to Gaku and chuckled. "Those words are scary. You're doom, Gaku." That didn't make Gaku's situation any better.

Ryuu could only shook his head. "It's already late. Of course she worries. You're on your own, Gaku. Let's go then. Tenn, you can sleep on the back sit." He then gave Gaku a look. "Gaku...."

Clearly Ryuu wanted to talk about what happened with Tenn earlier but it's not a time to talk that. Gaku didn't want this topic to ruin this pleasant day again. Gaku mouthed at Ryuu. 'Another time.' Ryuu frowned a bit, turned his back and moved his legs towards the car.

While those two went into the car, Gaku looked around for last time for today. His eyes caught a sight of a girl around Tenn's age stood not far from their previous spot. He squinted his eyes in attempt to see the girl clearly. She had a large scar on her back right hand as she held -something? A toy?- with both her hands. Their eyes met with each other. She immediately averted her eyes from his stare. Instead of run away, she just stood there with unreasonable face because of how far they're from each other, he couldn't see her face very well. "What a weird girl..."

"Gaku! Hurry up!" Ryuu called from the van.

"....." Gaku stared at the girl a bit longer with frown grew on his face. "Sorry! There's something I need to check!" With that, Gaku ran towards the girl, leaving a confuse Ryuu behind with a sleepy Tenn. 

Tenn stared towards where Gaku ran, half lidded. "Gaku?"

------

"Hey."

The girl looked up at Gaku with an alarmed face before she hide her face behind her bangs. Gaku ruffled his hair, doesn't understand why she reacted like that. He just greeted her. Maybe he should say something to reassure her. The girl beat him at it with a question.

"U-umm... You're friends with Tenn-kun right?"

Tenn-kun? Is she close with Tenn? "Yeah. We are." He watched at her as her lips curved a smiled, something he didn't expect from her because of how sad she looked earlier. He really thought she going to be like the guy earlier but she beaten him again. He really should learn not to judge a book by its cover.

"I... I'm glad..." She muttered to herself.

Gaku furrowed his brow. "You know Tenn? And how did you even knew he's here?" He couldn't help but raised his guard a bit. Like how the hell she knew that Tenn's here?

The girl widened her eyes, waving her hands, denying the accusing. "Our graduation party is nearby! I just want to take fresh air and saw...."

Oh... Now he felt bad. It's just a coincidence then. Wait. That guy also said the same thing. Graduation party? "That bastard earlier is your schoolmate?"

The girl lower her head. "Well, former now. We already graduate after all...."

Gaku collected all braincells that left in him to think from all he get. They're in graduation party and it's nearby here. That also mean that.... No. He just need something to prove it. "What about Tenn? What's you to him?"

The girl raised her eyebrows, clearly didn't expect him to ask her about Tenn again. "T-Tenn-kun? A-ah... We used to be classmate in the first year and..." She seemed what to say more but she's quickly shut her mouth. She shook her head lightly. "That's all... After that we never in the same class."

So what he thought of was true after all. Just why Tenn didn't go to the graduation party? Is it because he can't?He wanted to ask her about it however his eyes caught again at the sight of the big scar on her right hand. His stupid mouth blurted out. "What happened to your hand?"

He shouldn't asked that because she had that scared look in her eyes as soon he asked her that. "I- I... Please tell Tenn-kun that I'm sorry. I-I need to go!" She bowed at him and ran from him, towards the opposite direction where he came from.

Gaku wanted to kick himself so hard. What kind of guy make a girl scared like that. That scar must be a tough topic for her. She apologize to Tenn but why? Was she also bullied Tenn? His line of thought suddenly interrupted by the honking sound. He jumped, quickly turned towards the sound with a displeasure face. "Ryuu!? You scared me!"

"You didn't respond, of course I'm honking! Hurry up, Gaku!"

Gaku let out a sigh in exasperation, went into the car. As he opened the rear door, he welcome by a pair of sleepy eyes of Tenn's. The sight brought a smile on his face as he sat and closed the door. Ryuu asked Gaku who's that girl, he simply reply another person from Tenn's school. Ryuu hummed from Gaku's answer while his eyes went towards Tenn and asked Tenn if he recognize her or not. Tenn didn't answer him immediately. The duo almost thought Tenn isn't going to answer until the devil himself opened his mouth.

"...... I know her...."

And that's it. Tenn didn't say anything more. Both of them tried to hide their disappointment from Tenn. Well, at least he answered. With that, Ryuu drive them back until they reached to their destination. Tenn greeted by a warmth hug from his mother. After that, the idols duo got scolding from the woman herself. They really thought they gonna get kill by her though.

The chapter end with Tenn watched those two get scolded with amusement dancing in his eyes. A small smile as he thought.

He doesn't deserve this at all.

When Re:Vale first met Tenn :

Momo : What a cutie! *try to hug Tenn*

Tenn : *dodge the hug*

Anddd that's it. Currently there's still one chapter left. The last chapter, well, let's just say it won't finish this month or maybe next month or maybe another months- so please don't wait if you're inpatient person. Just think of your own ending. If you want to know what the real ending is? Well, just wait for years-

Don't miss me, I'll be suffering next week because I'll start my life as university student.
