Once Ukai confirmed it with Ennoshita, who said that they would be able to go, he and Takeda decided to check with each producer and idol to see how things were going. It was their job as president and owner to make sure each pair were treated well and weren't ever overwhelmed.
They had everyone go to their rooms so that their talk was just between them. Takeda was talking with the idols as Ukai was talking with the producers. Yamaguchi waited patiently in his room. When a knock was heard Yamaguchi got up and opened the door.
"Hello, Yamaguchi," Takeda's smile was reassuring, "mind if we talk?"
"I don't mind," Yamaguchi allowed Takeda in his room. Takeda took a seat at Yamaguchi's desk after turning the chair around so he could face Yamaguchi who sat on his bed.
They talked for a few minutes about how things were then Takeda surprised Yamaguchi when he adjusted his glasses and asked, "How would you feel about being in a group? Or a duo?"
Yamaguchi wondered how things would be like if he did that. Would he get along with the other members? Or person, if he did a duo. He decided what would be best for his career and the chance Tsukishima had given him by making him an idol. "I feel like I would enjoy that experience, it would certainly be interesting."
Takeda smiled, Yamaguchi believed he made the right choice by seeing that expression, he didn't want to disappoint anyone after all. Takeda then told Yamaguchi to keep doing his best and if he had any problems to come talk with him. He left and after Yamaguchi set the chair Takeda sat in back where it belonged someone knocked on his door.
"Yamaguchi," it was Tsukishima's voice. He opened the door before Yamaguchi could reach the knob, "Ready to go to the shoot?"
"Yeah, Tsukki!" Yamaguchi smiled and walked out of the room closing the door behind him.
The two walked out of the mansion and called a cab to take them to the shoot's location. Once arrived Yamaguchi was shown where the dressing room was and he changed while Tsukishima waited outside the door, Yamaguchi was shy about these kind of things so Tsukishima never went in with him he always waited outside.
Yamaguchi changed into a light blue cropped halter top, a light blue side skirt that was accompanied by dark blue tights that went to above his knees, a white glove for his right hand, a white arm sleeve that started at the bicep area to his wrist, light blue boots with two yellow semi-spheres in the front, and white headphone with a mic attached to it but on the side that connects the mic to the headphone shows a green star.
After looking at himself in the mirror to make sure everything was on right he opened the door and turned to Tsukishima, "How do I look?"
Tsukishima didn't know what to say at first, he almost stammered with his sentence, "It really compliments you. They did a good job making it."
"So this is my 'image outfit'?" Yamaguchi was a bit unsure about it earlier but Tsukishima's words made him feel like he looked wonderful. An image outfit is what the idol mainly wears and had been specifically made for them. It's been about three months since Yamaguchi joined the Crow Production but he finally got his image outfit.
"Yamaguchi," Having Tsukishima say his name brought Yamaguchi back out of his mind, "time for your picture."
"Right! Sorry, Tsukki!" Yamaguchi hurried to the studio and stood in front of the dark blue backdrop.
"Alright Yamaguchi," The photographer looked through the camera lens, "just do what comes natural."
Yamaguchi did some poses, all of them a bit awkwardly where the photographer decided to take a break so Yamaguchi could calm down and be more natural.
"Tsukki, I'm sorry," Yamaguchi looked to the ground from the seat he was sitting at. Tsukishima was to his left standing. "I'm not really good at looking natural." He smiled apologetically.
"Shut up, Yamaguchi," Tsukishima didn't like this insecure side of Yamaguchi, "the break is almost over."
And as he said that the photographer told them to come back.
This time instead of standing against the wall, Tsukishima was next to the photographer and gave a gentle smile to Yamaguchi. This helped Yamaguchi calm down and pose more naturally and look more cute and charming. His final pose was of him pointing his right hand to the right while looking that way as his left hand looked as if it was adjusting the part of the headphone where the microphone connected to it.
"I think that last one we will use to advertise your future concerts," Tsukishima said as he looked at the computer that showed all the photos.
"'Concerts' as in plural?" Yamaguchi asked, shocked of course, "are you sure you're not making a mistake?"
"Shut up, Yamaguchi," Tsukishima sighed.
"Sorry, Tsukki." Yamaguchi left to change back into his regular clothes.
As they left Yamaguchi noticed a blond girl passed them by with a long black haired beauty. Yamaguchi, instead of being focused on the beauty, saw only the blond haired girl and instantly thought "cute".
The taxi ride home was silent and when they arrived at the mansion Tsukishima said he would be taking a shower in his room and left upstairs leaving Yamaguchi at the entryway taking off his shoes. It has been four and a half hours since they left and everyone else seemed to be gone. There were no other sounds in the house, no yelling from Hinata and Nishinoya or Kageyama because of how mad he gets, no sound of anyone's voice where Yamaguchi could hear.
The main door opened and nearly knocked Yamaguchi down.
"Eh? Oh, it's Yamaguchi," Ukai says after wondering what the door hit when he opened it.
"Hey President Ukai," Yamaguchi moved more out of the way so he wouldn't get hit again. He noticed a body behind Ukai and thought it was Takeda until Ukai spoke.
"This is our new star, Yamaguchi, an idol that has joined us quite recently," Ukai moved out of the way as he spoke to show the person behind him who Yamaguchi is.
"Oh it's a pleasure to meet you," The man said. He had blond hair and was tall but not as tall as Tsukishima; in fact, he almost looked like Tsukishima but without the glasses. "I'm Tsukishima Akiteru."
"Tsukishima? Are you related to Tsukki?" Yamaguchi asked then realized his mistake, "I mean Tsukishima Kei."
"Yup," Akiteru smiled, "he's my little brother."
Ukai looked at Yamaguchi and almost laughed, Yamaguchi's face showed he wanted to ask many questions to Akiteru about his younger brother. "Yamaguchi, Akiteru used to be an idol too and was on multiple TV shows back when he was younger."
Yamaguchi was very impressed. It showed on his face and that made Akiteru laugh. Yamaguchi tilted his head now confused.
"Oh, sorry," Akiteru smiled, "but it's obvious you're impressed that I've been an idol for so long, but the fact is I've been on… let's say a break for a few years."
Yamaguchi was about to question what Akiteru meant by a break when Ukai interrupted him.
"You see," Ukai scratched the back of his head, "my grandfather was the company president of Karasuno, an old company that had many famous idols and many people who wanted to be idols but could never get a job. Akiteru was an idol since he was young and wanted to join Karasuno like everyone else."
"He didn't make it?" asked Yamaguchi, he looked from Ukai to Akiteru then back to Ukai.
Ukai shook his head, "He was able to join. But, he joined when the famous Small Giant joined too. The person who inspired Hinata to become an idol took all the big jobs. All the concerts, all the photo shoots, he even was able to go to the orange stage. After not getting any good jobs for three years Akiteru took a break from being an idol and decided to go to college and get a different job."
Akiteru smiled almost in a regretful way, "All this talk about me is really embarrassing," he laughed and looked at Yamaguchi, "so even though you're a new idol you know my brother. How is Kei doing?"
"Tsukki is a great producer," Yamaguchi smiled widely.
"Eh?" Akiteru looked at Yamaguchi confused.
"Eh?" Yamaguchi looked back at him confused.
"Right before I left for college he joined Crow as an idol. He's not an idol anymore?"
"He was an idol?" Yamaguchi almost shouted, he was completely shocked.
"Brother!" The three heard someone yell. They looked up and at the top of the steps was Tsukishima staring, actually glaring, down at them.
"Guess I wasn't supposed to say that," Akiteru whispered to Yamaguchi and chuckled, "hey Kei. I came over to check on how you were doing."
"I'm fine." Tsukishima wore his usual frown as he walked down the steps, "we need to talk."
Ukai cleared his throat knowing his job there was done. "I'm heading back to the office. Call if you guys need anything." He then gave Yamaguchi a look that he should leave the brothers alone to talk. "See you," he then left the mansion.
"I'll be going to my room," Yamaguchi pointed up the stairs and then walked up them but once he was at the top he got an aching feeling to stop and listen to what they were going to talk about. So once he noticed the Tsukishimas going to the living room he stopped going up the steps and sat down against the railing.
