A Servamp. Those who obtain power by drinking blood of their contracted partner, an eve, and have to follow their orders.

They are... vampire servants. There are seven siblings of servamps of seven sins.

Sloth. Envy. Greed. Lust. Pride. Wrath. Gluttony. The 8th Servamp of Melancholy, Luz, appeared and injured the 5th Servamp "Pride" Colon. Seeing that Luz was a danger to the citizens in Japan, everyone decided to meet up and find all the remaining servamps on their side to defeat Luz.

Right now there was Sloth, Envy and Pride were on their side. They weren't so sure about Lust but they knew that the Lust Pair didn't seem to hate them at least. Now they only had to find the whereabouts of Greed, Wrath and Gluttony which is why Mafumafu decided to meet up with the others to discuss that and find out a plan on what to do.

He thought it was a great opportunity when Colon told them that he got a discount on a hot spring for whatever reason and thought they could use that chance to discuss everything without anyone being able to hear them.

Or so he thought. As soon as they got into the inn, he lost Soraru who was being dragged away by Colon who followed him after some small protest. Satomi wanted to make Colon read through some of his scripts but the blue-haired male was faster and already ran away with Soraru so Satomi couldn't find the other male.

Kashitaro went ahead to explore the building because he loved the japanese style and Amatsuki immediately rushed and followed him because he just knew that the older brunet would get lost without him.

And in the end, only Mafumafu and Satomi were left as they stood there dumbfounded. "Should we... go to our room first then and unpack things?", Satomi suggested as the albino nodded before following the pink-haired male to the japanese-styled rooms as they both entered one.

There was enough space for two people as they guessed that they would probably sleep with their respective partner in one room. But for now, they decided to just stay in one room together until the everyone else would come back.

"Oh, nice. There is some tea. Do you want some, Mafu-kun?", Satomi asked as he walked towards the wooden table on the open balcony connected to the room. "Eh? Ah, sure.", the younger male accepted as he walked to where the older male was and sat across of him.

There was a small silence between them as Mafumafu only sat there with his legs folded while Satomi picked up the tea kettle and poured some tea into Mafumafu's cup before pouring some for him. Mafumafu shifted around nervously, not being used to talking to someone besides Soraru and his close friends. And the albino felt the guilt immediately starting to come back when he saw some bandages on the pink-haired male.

The other male noticed this as he only chuckled and waved his hand. "Mafu-kun, are you trying to take the blame on to you? Because me and everyone else knows that it wasn't your fault for this.", Satomi told him as the albino still seemed unconvinced.

"But I—". "You couldn't have done anything about it anyway. You were shocked and it was my own fault for believing his words and getting weak despite Colon telling me to not listen to him. So don't blame yourself for something you haven't done.", Satomi told him as Mafumafu sat there for a bit more before sighing and nodding.

"Thanks for being so nice, Satomi-san.", Mafumafu told him as the pink-haired male only chuckled. "Nice? I was just telling you the truth so it's fine.", he told the albino who shook his head but smiled nethertheless. "By the way, how is it going with Soraru? Did he inform you enough or do you need any help to get more knowledge?", Satomi asked as Mafumafu shook his head.

"Thanks but it's fine. Soraru-san finally explained me some more things after I asked him about it.", the albino assured the pink-haired male who hummed. "That's good. Looks like your Servamp is at least more responsible than mine here.", Satomi said sighing as Mafumafu giggled.

"Colon-kun doesn't explain you anything?", he asked amused as the other male nodded rolling his eyes. "That guy only cares about his Shakespeare stuff. And he always runs away from work. Very annoying.", Satomi told him as Mafumafu laughed lightly.

"But there must have been something that you liked about him if you decided to make a contract with him, right? Or did you accidentally get into one because Colon-kun was careless?", Mafumafu asked. It wouldn't be surprising because that's how he and Amatsuki both got into a contract with their Servamp. Satomi shook his head as his smile turned fondly, probably remembering that moment.

"He surprisingly hid it pretty well until I found out. And then... I was the one who asked him.", Satomi told Mafumafu who tilted his head. "Wouldn't that be similar to our cases though?", he asked as the other male chuckled and shook his head.

"I'm not sure about that. Because it wasn't Colon who accidentally revealed his identity but my friend who told me. Hey, Mafu-kun, do you want to hear a small story?", Satomi asked leaning in closer as if this conversation was private.

Mafumafu, being curious, nodded as he leaned in closer as well.

"Alright~ This is a story about a two people meeting each other in the world of acting."

*****

"Satomi-kun, are the students here yet?", an orange-haired male asked as he walked up to a pink-haired male who was sitting on the stage of the gym. "Not yet. I just hope that this year, the people will actually be capable of things.", he sighed as the other male laughed amused.

"You say that as if everyone is bad. Your standards are just too high~ Not everyone can be a good actor like me~", he said as he dramatically put a hand on his chest while the pink-haired male rolled his eyes. "They should come here at any minute. 53 people are going to participate in this casting, right?", Satomi asked as Jel nodded.

"Yup~ How many people would you need for your piece again?", the orange-haired male asked. "Eleven. If you add the replacement actor that is. But because you are here too, I'll only need ten.", Satomi explained as the other male nodded.

"About the amount of people... Do you think, we can add one more to the casting?", Jel asked as Satomi raised his eyebrow. "You usually don't add more people because it's too much work for you. What's with the sudden change of mind?", Satomi asked amused.

"He caught my eye~ He is some kind of prodigy and has made a lot of people cry while performing~ Even though he is only in middle school! Sakuragaoka Middle school which is close to this one here!", Jel exclaimed as the other male hummed interested.

"We might have a middle schooler here? Well, I don't care as long as he's good so let's see.", Satomi said. Soon after, the students all gathered in the gym as Satomi stood up and coughed gaining the attention of the students.

"Everyone, welcome to the casting of my piece. I'm Satomi and this is Jel who will be helping me choose some people today. I'll explain everything shortly. We'll start with reading through the scripts per groups of three. After that, everyone will have some minutes before you'll improvise on a scene I'll give you.", Satomi explained.

"Let's start then~ I'll split the groups for everyone~", Jel chirped as he started to put the people into groups while Satomi sat down on a chair and put the student files on the table. Soon after, Jel joined him calling the first group to the stage. They all just stayed silent as they watched the students read the scripts, none catching that much attention from the pink-haired male.

That is, until the fifth group came. That's when Jel leaned over to Satomi, grinning to himself. "That's him! The blue-haired boy over there!", Jel whisper-shouted as he pointed at the said male discreetly. Satomi took a look at him as he hummed.

The middle schooler had the middle school uniform of this school on as the sleeves of both his pants and hoodie were rolled up unevenly and in Satomi's eyes the blue-haired boy just looked like some mischievous kid.

"Well then, please introduce yourselves.", Satomi said as they nodded and introduced themselves before it was the middle schooler's turn.

"Ahem! My name is Colon! I'm from middle school and was asked to participate here! I don't really want to but cause Jel-kun pestered me so much, I decided to see if it would be fun!", he introduced himself honestly as all the students started whispering amongst themselves while Satomi had mixed feelings at the moment. Most of them being annoyance and being offended.

"That boy seems like a brat. Why the hell did you pester him to come here if he doesn't even have the motivation to participate?", Satomi hissed through his teeth as Jel just chuckled.

"Cause I think he is just the one you need in your life~ You'll thank me later~", Jel chirped as the pink-haired male sighed but nodded. "Well, just start reading the script then.", Satomi told them as they nodded before they started.

"Oh dear! Fate says that we can't be with each other.... So... let us escape from this never ending pain together!", the first student exclaimed as the second student followed suit.

"Oh, how I wish that we could do that... But must I say that you have a lot to live for! You shall not end your life because of me!", they said as it was now Colon's turn to say his lines.

Satomi looked at him and he expected Colon to be just like the others as he could see Jel smile amused from the corner of his eyes. And when Colon spoke, Satomi widened his eyes not expecting to see the middle schooler have this level of acting.

"Now stop! You two shall not make any further plans! Cause I can't watch this any longer!", Colon shouted without any emotion in it as Satomi's jaw fell. This student in front of him was so bad.

Even worse than all of the actors he had seen in his whole life. The whole crowd watched the blue-haired male in disbelief as Satomi actually felt insulted. "This is the student that I needed in my life?! He sucks so bad even someone in grade school would be better than him!", Satomi hissed, doing his best to not be loud.

"Uwah, that is the rumored prodigy?", one of the students whispered mockingly as the others agreed with them. Jel ignored all of them as he only laughed amused and clapped.

"Wow, I'm surprised every time!", he exclaimed wiping a tear away. "Well, thanks~ Let's go to the next group then~", Jel told them as they nodded before stepping off.

"And what exactly are you planning?", Satomi asked him annoyed as Jel only winked at the other male. "It's a secret~", he said as the pink-haired male sighed. "I seriously don't get you sometimes...", Satomi said before he wrote some notes to each participant.

They then continued with the remaining groups, nothing really exceptional happening until it was time for their solo improv acts.

Satomi and Jel watched them as they started silently selecting the best ones in their heads while watching them. They were all good. That's something Satomi wouldn't deny.

It's just that none of them would fit the character of his protagonist. And he soon lost hope when he saw that only Colon was left to do his improv.

"Ugh, do I have to do this, Jel-kun? There is this new game that came out today and I wanna play it!", the younger male whined as everyone in this room felt annoyed.

"If you don't want to be here then go away already!", Satomi exclaimed annoyed as he was about to attack the blue-haired boy but was stopped by Jel who was still grinning as the pink-haired male just wanted to wipe that smile of his face.

"Now now, let him do this and then you won't ever have to speak to him again~ Just listen to my request this once?", Jel asked as he clapped his hands together in a pleading manner and Satomi stayed silent for a while before sighing and sitting back down. "Just act whatever. I honestly don't care. I'll choose the people after that.", Satomi told him as Colon huffed.

"Wow, you think I can't act, huh?", he asked as everyone in this room sweat-dropped.

"You're just a kid with over confidence. I don't know why Jel here brought you but I'm pretty sure that you are just some spoiled brat.", Satomi told him as Colon gasped.

"How dare you?! I am a genius who makes my audience cry when they see me act!", Colon exclaimed.

"I can believe that. Making them cry by wasting their money to watch you that is. I'd cry too.", Satomi returned as the younger male gasped.

"That's it! I don't even want to be here with someone who doesn't want me here!", Colon said as Jel stood up to stop him. "Can you please try at least?", he asked. "Why? He's annoying.", Colon said as Jel smiled. "If you do this, I will buy you the new game you wanted to buy~", Jel said as Colon widened his eyes before nodding.

"Fine... I'll do it then.", he said as everyone just stared at the orange-haired male in disbelief who ignored them.

"Great~ I'll give you a plot then~ You are the son of a poor man who falls in love with rich girl called Elise. Now you can't be together with her~ Sad sad~ Show us how you'd act~ And make it a monologue~", Jel told him and Satomi noted that the other male just described the main character of his piece. "Jel... What are you—".

"Boring but okay! I'll do it then~!", Colon shouted as he took in a breath while everyone mentally prepared themselves for it. Satomi just sighed and decided to get this over with.

No one was prepared for what came next.

"Ah! My dear Elise! My beautiful Elise! With hair as golden as the sun! Eyes as bright as the sky! Skin as beautiful as porcelain!

How I long to be by your side right now! How I wish I could embrace you in my arms right now!", Colon exclaimed loudly as he hugged himself, his face twisting into one of pain.

"But I am worth nothing more than one loaf of bread... I am only one poor man... Fate despises us! Oh, how many sins must I have committed in my previous life for god not even granting me this one wish!", Colon cried gripping his own hair as tears streamt down his face.

"Oh, my dear father! If I can only have one wish granted! Only one wish! Then I shall wish for us to be together!", Colon shouted after he sunk to his knees and put his hands together in a praying manner as he looked up.

"Please... I beg of you... I wish for nothing more... So please... let me be together with my dear Elise...", Colon pleaded in a whisper before he stopped as there was a long silence. Everyone was still in a trance before they all started to cry even more than Colon just did.

And Satomi... he sat there as a stream of tears rolled down his face. He couldn't believe it. That the brat from moments ago disappeared from his eyes and instead, he could only see Edgar, the protagonist of his script.

He could feel the pain, the sadness and the despair that he wanted to deliver standing on the stage. Satomi only watched the blue-haired male's last tears rolling down before he returned to his usual behavior. "I did it! Now you gotta buy me that game, Jel-kun!", Colon shouted as the orange-haired male laughed but nodded.

"Yes yes~ Good job, Colon-kun!", Jel praised the blue-haired male who smiled and nodded before hopping off the stage.

"You!", Satomi shouted as Colon turned his attention to the other male tilting his head.

"Yes?", he asked as the pink-haired male ran up to the other male and put his hands on the shorter male's shoulder. "Become the protagonist of my piece!", he said seriously as Colon widened his eyes surprised while the other students whispered among themselves.

"This is the first time Satomi-senpai asked someone directly! I'd be so honored if it was me!"

"That boy is truly a prodigy! He deserves to be the main character!"

"Uwah, I don't think I can work with him because I'd be too overwhelmed!"

"What do you say?", Jel asked as Colon glanced at the orange-haired male before back at Satomi who looked at him expectantly.

Seeing the pink-haired male so moved by his act which was probably surprising to everyone cause it apparently never happened before, made Colon feel proud of himself.

And he felt very satisfied with making the pink-haired male change his opinion as he felt as if he achieved a goal in his life.

So Colon smiled satisfied as he looked up at Satomi and took the other male's hands. The pink-haired male noticed that smile and felt a slight blush at how genuine it seemed. And Colon only continued on smiling brightly before responding.

"No, thank you."
