WORD COUNT: 842
Kaoruʼs heart hammered continuously against his chest, its pounding beat—accompanied with his distressed thoughts—filled his ears instead of listening to the man in front of him.
He had prepared a lot for this song; of course, he would—it was for his sister, after all. He needed to put more than enough effort for her—he shoved all his responsibilities to his sister and brother. He has this itching urge to repay them back; it was the least he could do for them—for himself.
And as such, of course, Kaoru is nervous as fuck.
Him and the rest of UNDEAD are preparing to perform for the reception. They sat at a secluded corner of the room to prepare everything, but Kaoru has yet to calm himself down. He knew it was no use worrying, but he canʼt help it—he needed to do his best to not disappoint again, he needed to give it his all to show them that he took the right path, he needed to... He needed t—
“—Kaoru-kun, are you feeling alright?”
The deep, gentle voice of Rei interrupted his train of thoughts. Somehow recently, Rei could easily notice his sudden shift in moods.
“Y-Yeah, sorry. Iʼm just a bit nervous, thatʼs all,” he replied as he nervously twirls the ends of his hair.
Kaoru paused, suddenly remembering that he had to tie his hair. He met Reiʼs eyes then flashed a grin at him, “hey, you think you can tie my hair for me, pretty please?”
“Hm? Whatʼs with the ‛pleaseʼ all of a sudden~?” Rei teased, but still took the hair tie that Kaoru handed to him.
Rei gathered the stray strands of Kaoruʼs soft, blonde hair, and started combing it with his fingers. He then continued to gently brush his hair as Kaoru hummed.
After a few seconds of silence, Kaoru hesitantly mumbled, “Well, I... Itʼs kinda.. Iʼm—”
“...Itʼs a bit nerve-wracking, isnʼt it?” Rei finished the sentence for him as he took the hair tie that was on his wrist, tying Kaoruʼs hair together.
“I understand your anxiousness, Kaoru-kun,” he whispered, and Kaoru shivered from Reiʼs breath that suddenly brushed against his ear.
Rei continued, “fear may be present, but you shouldnʼt let it destroy your confidence.”
“Youʼre talented, adorable, a good boyfriend,” Rei paused, looking around the venue before he quickly planted a soft kiss on Kaoruʼs head.
He added, “most importantly, youʼre a good brother. You may think youʼre not necessarily good, but Iʼm sure your siblings would disagree.”
“So, donʼt worry about performing later. Iʼm sure your sister would enjoy, regardless.”
A tint of red slowly covered his whole face. Rei surely knew how to flatter him, huh.
Before Kaoru could reply, Rei quickly planted another kiss on the nape of his neck causing him to flinch
“R-Rei-kun...!”
“Kaoru-kun~!”
Kaoru turned around to face Rei, who was equally as red as him. He pouted as he scolded him, “could you lessen it with the PDA~? I know my sister likes you a lot as my boyfriend and as an idol, but you donʼt have to show off too much!”
“And! Weʼre idols! Our asses will get kicked, if our relationship went public, you know~?” Kaoru whined.
“Ah, but at the end of the day, weʼre still partners regardless of our relationship status, are we not?” Rei smirked. And Kaoru wants to wipe it off his face.
Partners, huh...
Who knew heʼd be able to call someone that—who knew that someone would call him that?
Him... Koga, Adonis... Rei... It was all just a coincidence for them to meet together. He never intended to stick this long, but here they are—performing for his sister.
And... Rei has been a good partner to him; whether it be as idols, friends, or lovers; he had been subtly helping him since the start of 3rd year, and up until now. Rei was always there for him, always showed up for him.
Heʼs really glad to be his partner—
“I love you, Rei-kun.”
The words poured out of his mouth as if it were a waterfall. It came out like a whisper, shocking both himself and Rei.
Blushing from his sudden declaration, Kaoru looked up to check Reiʼs reaction—and to no surprise, Rei was as red as him again.
Kaoru giggled, “youʼre like a tomato, Rei-kun~”
Rei frantically blinked, his eyes straying away from his until he looked back to glare. “Whoʼs fault do you think that is?”
“Donʼt just say that out of nowhere, Kaoru-kuuun~!” Rei groaned, dropping his head on Kaoruʼs shoulders.
“...I love you, too,” he whispered, tilting his head, so his bright red eyes could stare at Kaoruʼs light brown ones that were shining like a jewel.
Kaoru hummed. He patted Reiʼs head, then said, “letʼs go now, shall we?”
Rei nodded, but his supposed reply was suddenly interrupted—
“Oi, can you two stop it with the flirting?”
They both turned their heads to Koga, who glared daggers at their direction. Kaoru smiled apologetically, then walked towards him and Adonis with Reiʼs hand in his.
Having reimugi thoughts mostly altered and element related does anyone care about Rei's projection onto Tsumugi due to seeing himaelf in him while wanting to take care of him and how they are both so people pleasing and self-sacrificing, unable to say no when they are asked to do things by other people (Rei himself stating he couldn't find it in him to do so at one point which can be interpreted as not serious but you know. He's still someone who does quite a lot for others.) As well as their shared suicidal lack of care and value for their own lives... it's actually obscene.... He tries to teach him how a true, normal friendship is supposed to be despite not knowing it himself... Rei being the "most popular" in school according to Eichi, Tsumugi having so many connections despite being taken advantage of and treated unkindly often due to seeming like an easy target, both of them still being so alone. Then they were on opposing sides all of a sudden, the leader of fine and leader of the five eccentrics...
Rei understands Tsumugi, more than anyone possibly could at that time at least, he knows him so well he's able to help him understand what was happening to him during altered by spelling it out to him, essentially. On Tsumugi's "first day truly being alive", Rei was there congratulating him— after a war that made both of them shed their old selves, killing them to turn into something new even though technically Tsumugi didn't have one (he did, of course, but the framing is that he is alive for the first time in the story due to how he's been living till that point)... Rei does say it's because the war weakened him, to Tsumugi of all people, and he seems to seek to detach himself further from humanity... and Tsumugi is the one who killed Rei, to some extent, still having seen the friendship they currently have as a torturous punishment for what he did to him during in his third year... Tsumugi becoming human thanks to Natsume despite Natsume himself having a somewhat complicated relationship with his own humanity, which viewing in parallel to Wataru and Eichi is sooo sickening. But anyways. The vampire and the zombie both found things that made them want to keep existing in this world, as well as love and care from others... (even though tsumugi continued to very much suffer from suicidal ideation way after that but that's just how he is so guys it's ok)... that part where Tsumugi subconsciously, or simply unintentionally, sounds as if he's blaming Rei for things because he could've done so much to prevent the eccentrics executions including his own I'm crazy... just stuff I was thinking about this morning I'm spouting out the same stuff I post every day about them because I'm crazy
But what if I started editing Enstars cards?

Sketch of Rei Sakuma because why not
Keito coming to check up on the state of the EiRaRei dorm and he walks in on Aira sitting on his bed with his earphones in trying to cancel out the noise of Eichi and Rei discussing the matter of why exactly Rei isn't allowed to sleep in a coffin but Eichi can have his life-like, 1.80m Wataru doll in their dorm room which is, "objectively speaking", way more of a disturbance than Rei simply sleeping in a coffin to rest his "poor old man" bones.
Keito turns around and leaves immediately.
