Reiji's POV
Tokki grabbed me by the shoulders when I tried to make a run for it. How fast are his reflexes?
“Kotobuki-san, please tell me everything” He said with a firm voice.
Ahaha… he has the voice of an angel, yet he can do something like this? I really do not want to tell him about Mikaze-san though… what should I do?...
I flipped out. I couldn't take the pain anymore, the pain of Aine leaving me, the pain of Ai leaving me, this pain is excruciating.
Tokki told me about Hayato, and how he had to live as him.
“Kotobuki-san, I am not pitying you. I do not think you are annoying. I am perfectly fine with the way you are. We are bothering you because we want to help you.”
Those words… I've always wanted to hear them. I've always wanted to hear someone say they want to help me. I have never wanted everything I care for to disappear.
I'll believe and trust Tokki for now. If he disappears now, I'll never trust anyone again.
“Okay Tokki, I'll trust you… BUT, please do not tell anyone else what I'm going to tell you… please…’
Tokki nodded his head and let go of my shoulders. He opened the closet door, and then said:
“I will not tell anyone, don't worry. Let us relocate out of this closet now, shall we head off?
I nodded my head at Tokki's request. We left for his waiting room.
I washed my face once again because Tokki said that I looked really bad. I guess I'll have to have the makeup artist do my makeup again. Sorry to them in advance, they have to cover my bruise from Ran-Ran.
We arrived at the door. He ushered me into the room as fast as possible to prevent anyone from seeing my bruised face.
Tokki sat down on the comfy sofa in the middle of the room. I sat down right next to him on the same sofa. There was a small coffee table in front of us. Tokki got up to brew something.
“Do you prefer coffee, or tea Kotobuki-san?” He asked.
“I think I'll drink tea. Thank you Tokki.”
He placed two cups of tea on the small table, and then sat down once again.
“Oh I apologize. Would you like sugar cubes with that?”
I laughed a bit.
“Hahaha, I'm not Myu-chan you know!”
Tokki smiled a bit, and then he looked at me in my gray eyes.
“Finally, you laughed.” he said in a soft voice.
I blushed a bit, and then drank a sip of the tea he made me. He genuinely cared for someone like me.
“You can tell me whenever you are ready, but I have to take my solo photos soon, so we may have to postpone this…”
“Oh that's right! Tokki, let's get to the studio. We can talk after the photo shoot.” I said to him.
“Okay Kotobuki-san, you better not bail on me.” Tokki smiled slightly.
We both got up from our seats, and finished our tea. We threw the paper cups away in the bin, then headed for the door.
I headed towards the makeup room with Tokki. The makeup artist redid my makeup, and hid my bruise. They swore that they wouldn't tell anyone about the bruise. I trust them.
Tokki opened the door to the studio. I saw all of STARISH, and QUARTET NIGHT there, except for Syotan.
“Tokki, where is Syotan?” I asked him.
“He is painting his nails. He will be out in a moment.” He answered.
I sat down on an empty chair in the studio, as I watched Myu-chan take his photos. He looked really good in them, I really liked how his hair flowed well. I watched him, and then he noticed me.
“Okay everyone, Camus-san is done! Let us take a small break, and then switch gears!” The director yelled loudly.
Myu-chan looked as if he were staring right into my soul. I actually got a bit scared, so I looked to Tokki for assistance. Tokki sat next to me to reassure me I guess.
“Aa! Rei-chan! How are you doing!” A loud voiced man ran up to me.
“Otoyan! I'm doing perfect!~⭐ Are you ready for our group photos?” I said in my usual tone.
“Of course Rei-chan!” Otoyan smiled, and then left to talk to Cesshi.
