Welcome back to another installation of Magnetism. Now that I have a lot of prompts I want to write, I have suddenly found inspiration. Updates will definitely slow over the next few months again due to school.
Thanks to amado15, TheChildrenReason, MCRfan18100, DChen, and heartachequisition for the reviews so far. I'm glad you enjoyed and I'm glad this pairing is proving to be more popular than I once thought! However, in regards to a certain reviewer: No, I won't change the gender of one to make things 'less awkward', though a genderbend is certainly not out of the question. This is clearly a lesbian ship, don't like, don't read.
That said, enjoy.
In which Kido is Momo's bodyguard.
"Kisaragi! We'll be arriving any minute now, so get ready, ok?"
The driver's voice floated from the front of the limousine, and Momo absentmindedly acknowledged his existence with another little 'yeah'. Sighing a little, the idol leaned into her palm and watched city lights whiz past like fireflies on the window screen. The soft hum of the engine permeated the air, and across from her sat her taller, green haired body guard.
Just as expected, Tsubomi Kido hadn't uttered a single word the whole journey. It wasn't her style. Rather, she preferred sinking into the background, not noticeably there, but always close enough for Momo to feel safe. Behind the dark glasses, her bodyguard's eyes were no doubt trained on the idol, possibly scanning the vicinity constantly for any dangers. Momo smiled. She thought it was cute, how dedicated Kido seemed to the job. If Kido noticed the upturn of her lips, she said nothing.
The car came to a sudden stop and Momo just about fell out of her seat, barely managing to hold on the sides of the car. When she looked up, Kido was pulling her closest hand away.
Cute.
When Momo stepped out, the first thing she heard was a flash, and the first thing she saw was a crowd of hungry, rabid fans, pressing in on her like a deadly wall of flesh. Then came the hand on the shoulder, something which was beginning to be a more commonplace thing with her bodyguard. It was somewhat soothing, if unnecessary. Momo found she minded less than she should have.
"Momo! Momo!"
The crowd of people loudly cheered her name, asking questions, expecting answers, and one unfortunate man tried to step closer than the imaginary boundary set by Kido. He was promptly turned around with a cold glare, and didn't come back.
Momo actually feared for her own life as she tried with limited success to enter the already crowded hall. She signed multiple shirts, mugs, hats, dollar bills, and more just kept coming. They said the road to stardom was rough, and Momo was experiencing it now, and also every other time she tried to go to a celebrity gathering. It was horrible, but the food was mostly worth the struggle.
Finally inside, Momo heaved a few breaths before turning around, to make sure her bodyguard was in one piece. She was, thankfully, though Momo realised it was silly to be worried about a trained bodyguard like Kido.
Even so.
The inside of the hall was, realistically, no better than the outside, only there were less deadly paparazzi. Kido still stood close, eyes mysterious behind the tinted shades and face stoic as always.
"Ah, Kisaragi!"
It was one of her colleagues, a famous actor name Kano Shuuya. Lively, but a little-
"Aha, and Tsubomi, too! How cute!"
-annoying.
"Oi." Kido warned, a tone of finality in her voice. Kano seemed unaffected. He was shorter than Kido, too, Momo noted with a twinge of amusement. Deciding to intervene before someone got killed, Momo stepped between the blonde and her green-haired body guard.
"So, nice night, isn't it Kano?" She asked pleasantly, and she received an Oscar-winning smile in return.
"Certainly is, Kisaragi Momo," he replied smarmily, raising an eyebrow, to which Momo felt Kido move just a step closer, "but I am afraid I must take my leave. There are more guests to welcome."
Kano scampered away like the rat that he was, and Momo felt Kido relax a little. "Come on!" She said to her stoic bodyguard, while grabbing her wrist. "Let's go find the food, I'm starving!"
She missed the absolutely stunned look on the greenette's face.
It only took half an hour for Momo to get settled into the party atmosphere, as per usual, chatting away to guests and friends and strangers alike, because her magnetic personality drew even the strangest of crowds. Kido was there as always, by the sidelines, watching and waiting for one slip-up.
One particular young boy, and the son of a famous singer, Hibiya, Momo thinks his name was, was mid-conversation with Momo when something strange happened.
"Oh, who's that, over there, with the sunglasses?" He asked, voice peaking in curiosity. Momo waved a hand flippantly.
"That's my bodyguard, Kido Tsubomi," She answered, taking another sip of her punch. "Why do you ask?"
Hibiya scratched his chin, clearly perplexed. "I just… I thought I saw her, you see, the other day. I was on register and there was this green haired girl like that buying the latest Kisaragi Attention Drama CD-"
He cut off, swallowing. Had Momo turned around, she quite possibly would nearly have fainted out of shock, for Kido's furious gaze was so intense. Hibiya laughed, rubbed his neck, and mumbled an excuse to leave, something about needing to use the bathroom.
Then the idol figured out what had happened, and laughed. When she turned, she was delighted to see that Kido was… blushing. Perhaps it wasn't very noticeable, but Momo knew these kinds of things.
Cute.
She drew closer, and had to give it to the other woman; she was pretty damn good at keeping a straight face, even with Momo leaning in with the most cat-like smirk on her face.
"Who would've thought, huh? Kido Tsubomi, a Kisaragi fan!"
If it weren't for Kido's glasses, Momo was sure that she would have been looking at the ground in shame. She said nothing in reply.
"Aw, is that…" Momo nearly said embarrassment, but cut herself short, not wanting to make Kido feel too uncomfortable. "I think it's cute, y'know? And cool, yeah, it's nice to see people appreciating my music, ah…"
She trailed off, because now that she was this close, she could just see through the tinted sunglasses, and, even with the glare from the overhead lights, Momo caught a glimpse of Kido's eyes and they were… certainly something.
"You know, Kido…" Momo leaned back, a little sheepish, "Since we're inside and all, you could, um. Take off your glasses! I mean, only if you want to, but I'm pretty sure you don't need them on inside or anything."
Momo let out a hollow laugh just as something cool and hard pressed into her palm. Looking up, she saw Kido's eyes clearly, almost twisted into a smirk.
"Keep the glasses."
Momo did.
