warning this story will actually suck

"come on, please! this is a once in a lifetime chance, you have to take me!"

valt sighed and gently ruffled nika's hair. it was no doubt his younger sister was a big fan of the ever famous shu kurenai, but when she found out their dad had gotten her tickets to go see him at a nearby concert, nika had been estatic since then.

the deal was that she needed someone to keep an eye on her. chiharu was a good mother and wouldn't allow her to go to the concert unless valt agreed to go with her, in which began the seemingly everlasting pleading.

she giggled and showed him a picture of her idol. "i can't believe he's in the same city as us! we just have to go see him! maybe i can even get him to sign an autograph for me!"

"okay," valt grinned, deciding that his sister's happiness was of utter importance. "but only because you really want to go. personally, i don't really care for him or his music. he's got way too may fangirls, some really crazy."

nika stuck out her tongue at him, in case he meant her as one of the crazy ones. she proceeded to run down the stairs to tell their mom of valt's answer.

he followed her downstairs to where their mom was reading a magazine on the couch- well, attempting to as her youngest and only daughter squealed in excitement. she smiled at valt and asked, "you agreed to go, huh?"

valt chuckled. "well i figured since we have tickets to go, we shouldn't let them go to waste." chiharu nodded, standing up and patting nika's head. "well then you two get ready. i'll start the van and get toko to come along since we have to stop at the grocery store anyways."

nika had never run so fast on her life. valt saw a blur of pink buzz past him upstairs as he walked into his room and looked through his clost for an outfit. what's so special about this shu guy anyways?

he paused real quick to get his phone and search him up on beytube. countless videos of the guy showed up, his music videos, dance practices, interviews, you name it. valt clicked on a video called, 'live for the drop'. the thumbnail was shu and another mysterious blonde falling from the sky with a smile directed towards the camera, which valt thought was kind of cute but shook it off.

he played the song and continued looking for an outfit.

he heard another voice, so he thought it featured another artist, perhaps the one in the thumbnail, but he didn't check. in the end, valt decided on a blue and white striped hoodie with black pants and his usual red sneakers.

"valt hurry up!" nika called from downstairs. he could practically hear her jumping up and down, so he hurried even faster down. within minutes the aoi siblings were on their way to see japan's most known idol.

✴

the ride to the venue was hectic, to say the least. . chiharu hummed along as nika tried to rap along, "we came to blow it up, bring some speakers and some subs, if you're down then that's what's up-" she jumped in the seat behind valt, who rode passenger.

"i'm glad i'm not going like you valt," toko began, smirking slightly. "the pitch of those fangirls will have your ears bleeding in seconds." valt gulped and shook it off. nika patted his shoulder from behind. "don't worry big brother, we're not that loud."

toko silently threw some earplugs at valt, which definitely did not wash away his worry. soon enough, chiharu arrived at the location, where to her surprise had many people outside, probably waiting to enter.

"valt, let me see the tickets."

he handed her the 2 slips of paper, watching as a small smile formed on her mouth. "your dad must love you a lot to have gotten you two backstage passes." she handed them back to valt and drove up to the calmer side of the entrance. "alright kids, here it is. make sure not to stay too fsr from valt, nika, and have fun you two!"

valt nodded and stepped out, waving off to his mom and holding nika's hand, just in case he wouldn't lose her. the two walked closer and closer to the admission area and immeditaely heard yells of, "shu kurenai," repeated countless times. nika squealed a little herself, saying, "i can't believe i'm really at shu's concert!

she squeazed valt's hand, making him wince at the slight pain but nonetheless continue on. they were escorted to the backstage area, where they would be able to roam, enjoy some snacks, and (hopefully, according to nika) see shu in all his glory.

valt peeked a little to the stage and saw it looked exactly similar to the setting of the song he listened to earlier. it felt strange seeing something like that in person.

the two walked around for a bit before ending up at a seating area. nika shrieked and paled, valt immediately worries for her until he saw what she's seen. it was shu, sitting on a couch drinking water wearing a black and white vertically striped tuxedo. and right next to him was-

"xander?"

the red headed male seated besides shu faced valt and instantly broke out in a grin. "dude, you're here? nice to see you, it's been a while." they hugged it out before xander motioned for shu to stand up. "shu, i'd like you to meet my best bud, valt. he's great, i'm sure you two will get along."

the albino smiled and stretched his hand out for a handshake. "nice to meet you, valt. what brings a handsome fellow like yourself at my concert?"

valt didn't realize, but his face suddenly felt a bit warm. he replied, "oh, i'm here with my sister, she really wanted to see you-"

"oh my, it really is you! shu kurenai!" before valt could hold her back, she raced towards shu and clung onto him as if her life depended on it. he wasn't startled in the slighest, and instead kneeled down and pulled out a small piece of paper and pen. "would you like an autograph?"

she nodded furiously.

valt turned his attention back to his friend and asked, "so how do you two know each other?" xander sat back down, reaching for a nearby unopened bottle of water. "the thing is, back when i wanted to become an idol we where in the same training program. he was really talented and we got to know each other well. after i left to pursue martial arts instead, we stayed in touch and well, here we are!"

shu nodded and stood back up, nika staring at the now signed paper in her hands with amazement in her eyes. at that moment, a blonde male with turquoise eyes walked in. he wore a black tuxedo suit, but his tuxedo jacket had glitter at the hem fading up.

"shu, let's get going now, the concert is starting already." nika's mouth dropped at the sight of the blonde. he took notice of this and winked at her as shu nodded and said, "alright then, enjoy the concert guys," before walking off behind a curtain.

nika giggled, rambling off about someone called zac the sunrise appearing at shu's concert. valt and xander agreed to sit together at the seating are, when a loud crash came from behind the curtain, followed by a groan of pain.
