IDOL
Summary: The life of an idol is hard; their daily life consists of busy schedules, album recording, dance practices, concerts and award shows. Kise didn't dream of being an idol but in order to become someone his childhood crush can admire he auditioned to become an idol. Eventually he became a member of Japan's biggest and famous boyband worldwide, GoM or Generation of Miracles.
While Kuroko Tetsuya, Kise's childhood friend, a simple first year college student his life is as simple as simple can be a literal opposite of his childhood friend's flashier lifestyle but their mutual history and friendship connects them together. Will their blossoming love bloom or their own difference break them apart?
...
"I'm soo tired I think I can't move my legs!" Kise thought to himself his body felt sore all over from dancing and jumping non-stop the whole night, wiping his sweat with his own shirt as he looked at his members Aomine, Midorima, Murasakibara and Akashi. All of them were tired, sweating buckets and out of breath.
He sat down on the chair next to Midorima. He could feel his heart pounding against his chest currently they just finished their concert. And right now they only have a few minutes to steady their breathing and wipe their sweat because after this they have a post concert interview with the foreign press since this is their last concert in America and tomorrow they will be hopping in the plane and setting off to the UK to start their European tour.
"I wonder what Kurokocchi is doing now...he must be studying. I want to call him later tonight but I don't want to disturb him...but I also want to see his face even just for a second." Kise wondered to himself his eyes staring to the empty space before snapping back out of the trance when he felt a nudge on his shoulder he look up to see Murasakibara now sitting down beside him so that their shorter stylist can wipe his sweat and reapply a makeup on his face.
"Kisechin you can rest later for now you need to let oneesan do your makeup we're on the clock ya know." Murasakibara said tiredly with his usual childish voice. Kise can feel the underlying reason why their taller member is also itching to leave so he can rest too.
"Y-Yes Yes I'm sorry." he said standing up straight so that their stylist can start reapplying his makeup. He tried to reach for his handkerchief to wipe his sweat but the stylist beat him to it. She plucked out a white towel from her bag and started wiping his face with it.
"It's alright Kise-kun I got it." Mina said kindly, wiping the blond sweat.
"Thanks...oneechan." Kise said in shyly embarrassed that the girl had to wipe his own sweat. He could have just done it in all the years that he became an idol and their group had become bigger staff that work around for their group treats them really well and oftenly the attention and fuss is making him shy.
"It's alright Kise-kun, this is my job." she said, bending down to pick up powder and brush from her make up box to start freshening the blond idol up.
"3 minutes everyone!" The staff slip in and announce to the group inside. Her announcement made all the staff inside the dressing room crammed up so they can get the boys ready for the interview. One cameraman nearly tripped over other staff who walked in front of his camera blocking Akashi's view from his lens while filming them tired and getting prepped for the interview, a content for their fans to be uploaded on blobtube.
"Everyone, listen, don't be nervous. I know Kise-kun has gotten better in his English while Aomine-kun well..."
Aomine grumbled true he tried to learn the language but its hard so he stopped instead he decided to learn the language through FixFlix app that way he can enjoy his learning while watching his favorite show but when their group schedule got even busier he stop trying to learn English damn it's hard and their grueling schedule even harder. Only Kise had taken up online English lessons when Kuroko wasn't available to teach him. Murasakibara couldn't be bothered while Midorima and Akashi are both fluent enough to understand questions in English and answer them in English.
"If you can't answer just convey what you all were trying to say to Midorima or Akashi in Japanese they will handle the rest." Their manager said in a calm manner.
Midorima huffed, "If the others try their best on studying and not be lazy this wouldn't happen." he said as he readjusts his rubbed the bridge of his nose. The green haired member squeezing his eyes shut his grey contacts is hurting his eyes a bit.
Aomine twitched as he snapped at the green haired male, "Hey Midorima are you asking for a fight?!"
"That's enough!" Akashi said automatically stopping the fight before it even started, "We have no time for this, let's just finish this so we can go back to our room and rest. Let's not fight and be professional."
"Right of course Akashi."
"Let's go Akachin." Murasakibara followed the red head out.
"Tch," Aomine grumbled before following the two.
"Let's go Kise, let's hurry. I need to remove these pesky contact lenses." Midorima said as walk out of the room.
Kise sighs, just a few more minutes. I can't wait to VC Kurokocchi.
A few hours after the interview...
Kise finally have the chance to shower and prop himself in front of his laptop to call his best friend.
CALLING KUROKOCCHI…
"Kise-kun."
Kise blinks and he can't believe his eyes. Is he dreaming?
"Kise-kun? Are you ok?" Kuroko asked while inclining his head questioningly through the screen.
"Ah...uhm...sorry I can't just believe you answered so quickly."
"Did I not answer your calls that quickly before..." Kuroko said while fiddling with something with his hand.
"N-No I was only surprised I thought I'll just try calling you today. I didn't expect you to answer because I know you are studying..."
"I was...but I'm done for the night...uhm..anyway how was the concert earlier?" Kuroko asked, changing the topic looking up to his childhood friend on the screen. The blond looks tired as heck he felt bad. He wanted to tell him to just rest up and sleep but this is their first time Video chatting as they are both busy the whole week the blond with his work while he was busy with school. He wouldn't say it out loud to Kise but he misses his annoying self.
"Concert was fun. Seeing our fans was awesome!" Kise said with his usual lively voice. "Uh, Kurokocchi do you mind if I eat my dinner while we talk?" he asked the bluennette while reaching out for the bentou box their manager ordered from a famous Japanese restaurant at 5th avenue.
"N-No I don't mind Kise-kun."
"Thanks Kurokochi." the blond said as Kuroko watched his childhood friend pick up the chopsticks out of the take away bag and split it into two so he could start eating his dinner.
"What did Ji-san order for you for dinner?"
Kise beamed as he showed his food close to the screen, his dinner consisted of tempura, sashimi, rice and miso soup.
"Oh wow, classic Japanese dinner. I thought you're month long stay there in the US you'll only be eating western food."
"I can't eat too many burgers, I need to mind my diet...I have a choreography that needs to show my stomach so I have to take care of my abs for my fans." He joked and winked cheekily making the bluenette roll his eyes.
"Kise-kun and his big ego."
"Right, it's not as if your fans only love you for your abs.."
Kise nodded, "Right of course you're right they are there for my abs and good looks."
"You and your ego Kise-kun."
Kise laughs heartily, "You gotta admit my charm is why we became best friends Kurokocchi."
"More like your thick face is the reason why we became close."
"Hey, you meanie Kurokocchi." he pouted cutely, "How can you say that to your best friend!"
After a whole minute of silence...
Kuroko sighs, "So uh when are you and your group going to be back home?" he asked as he breathed in a huge chunk of air before readying himself for another disappointment. He is well aware that Kise and his group are on a long ass world tour. It could be a while before they'll be back but still he wanted to ask.
News about GoM on TV kept on reporting about the end of their tour in America and the next day they will be flying to the United Kingdom for their concert. Social media sites and news rooms have been raving about the fact that GoM or Generation of Miracles is the first Japanese boy band to ever have their concert scheduled at the Wembley stadium. He knows all about that but still he wanted to ask Kise.
Kise finished chewing his tempura before looking back up to the screen to look at his best friend. "Tomorrow we'll be flying to the UK to start our European tour."
"Sooo...that's another month of world peace yay." Kuroko said monotonously but deep inside he is a bit sad that the blond will be away for another month. The blond might be annoying sometimes but he is still his best friend and it's a little lonely without him pestering him when he is free from his gruelling schedule.
"Hey, you're sooo mean to me really."
Kuroko was about to retort back but he stopped when they both heard a doorbell go off on Kise's end. Kuroko watches as Kise turns to look at his hotel room door.
"Who is it?" Kise asked no one in particular.
Kuroko watches the blond as he sets his chopstick and food aside beside his laptop before he hears the blond ask again who is pressing his doorbell nonstop.
"Why don't you go and check who's at the door Kise-kun." he suggested, quite annoyed by the sound of the doorbell playing non-stop. The blond sighs before standing up from the comfort of his chair before walking out of the screen frame to check through the peephole of his door. Not a second later Kuroko can hear Kise's laughter together with someone. It sounds familiar, it must be one of the blond's group members.
"Kise let's go out my friend is here he said he will introduce us to cute omega girls let's have some fun before we leave for Europe." Kuroko twitches as he hears the guy was inviting the blond to meet up with girls. Somehow the idea of the blond meeting up with other people irks him.
"No, I think I will pass Aominecchi. I'm busy." he said as he pointed to his food and his computer screen.
"What? Are you doing your VCLive or you're chatting with your secret girlfriend?" Aomine said gruffly before walking towards the blond's computer only to be disappointed that instead of seeing a girl chatting with Kise it was an omega boy. Aomine blinks, this guy seemed familiar...where did he see this squirt again? He can't remember. He thought as he scratched the back of his head.
"Meh, I thought you were on a VC with a cute omega girl but geez Kise I didn't know you like male omegas." Aomine teased the blond.
Kise frowned, "That's my childhood friend and best friend you jerk so stop with that comment." he said glaring at the annoying bluenette.
"Relax, I'm only joking." Aomine laughs before he walks back towards the door. "If you change your mind just text me."
"Ji-san will scold you if he discovers that you left your room this time of the night, Aominecchi." He said as he followed Aomine out. "Akashicchi will be mad too."
"Only if you run your mouth Kise." Aomine said dismissively as he walked away. Kise sighs before returning back to his room, closing and locking the door behind him.
Kuroko watched the blond return to his seat, sighing.
"Is it alright for your bandmate to leave just like that?"
Kise leaned his back on the chair before sighing again, "No it's not… he'll be in trouble if paparazzi follows him and post it all over Japanese gossip column Ji-san our manager will scold us and Akashicchi will be mad."
"Then why didn't you stop him?"
"I can't Aominecchi do whatever Aominecchi wants, it's best not to interfere. Plus I tried to stop him but he didn't listen so it's all on him now."
"Even so...you need to tell your leader what happened. You don't want to get punished right?"
"Yeah...you're right, I should let Akashicchi know." The blond said as he fished his phone out of his pocket to start texting their group leader about Aomine's little escapade.
"So...does he always do that? Leave after a concert to some club and have fun…"And do you do that too? He wanted to ask him but he stopped himself.
"Usually after a concert we'll eat and drink with the crew but nowadays ever since we got so big we don't have any time to ourselves so if possible we make our own fun and plans.
"S-So that's him making his own fun and plans?" Kuroko said as he watched the blond nod. "What about you Kise-kun what do you do after all the concerts you guys had?"
"I usually just rest up or if I still have energy I'll start my own vlog to post in our Blobtube channel or we'll join the crew but after the show earlier we had to attend a post concert interview and the interview ended pretty late so the members and I decided to just eat our dinner in our room and just rest up since we don't want the staff to wait for us since we know they are tired as we are." he said while he focus on sending his message to Akashi.
"Kise-kun…"
"Hmm?" he said as he looked up from his phone to Kuroko after sending a quick text to their leader.
"You should rest up too Kise-kun. You must be really tired but before that please finish your dinner."
"Oh.." he said as he turned his gaze to his food on the table he actually forgot he was eating his dinner after Aomine's little visit earlier.
"Well I…" he started but got interrupted again when his phone alerted him of a call. He looks at his phone screen to see Akashi calling him. "Sorry Kurokocchi I need to go and end the chat Akashicchi is calling me."
"It's fine Kise-kun, you should answer him quickly."
"I'll text you ok?" Kise said before ending the call.
Kuroko sighs as he was left with the VCapp's usual white screen out after the call ended. Life of an idol is hard huh...I don't envy Kise-kun…
"Sooo Kuroko-kun." the girl started leaning over to the younger male who's sitting across from her. "So tell me...you are Kise-kun's childhood friend right? You know the one in super famous idol group, GoM."
Kuroko continues to focus his attention on reading his book. He sighs internally he knows where this is going. Another random girl asking him questions about Kise or at the very least trying to befriend him to get the famous blond's number or so they can have a chance to meet Kise or his group members and he is sick and tired of this cycle. They only approach him with that impure intention.
"Sorry you got the wrong idea."
"But I saw your photo once in Kise-kun's PhotoGram just last month and he said in the caption that you are his childhood friend...can you please help me and my sister she and I are big fan of GoM we're both actually a members of their fanclub we are Miracles and we really will appreciate it if you help us meet with them." Kuroko couldn't believe how ridiculous the girl was being.
Kuroko visibly sighs before looking up to the hopeful girl in front of him, "I'm sorry I know you are a smart girl and you will understand why I can't do what you were asking me to do."
"I-I know but...I won't say that you gave me Kise-kun's number you will not get into trouble at all I swear!" she said as if her desperate pleading to him will get her Kise's number.
What the...this girl really...is she hearing herself?
There's no way he'll do that. Kise will never trust him ever again if he gives his number away.
Kuroko stood up from his seat picking up his book and his bag before starting to leave the area. As he turned his back, all the girls in the cafeteria who were watching the girl talk to him stood behind the persistent girl and started gossiping to each other.
"What a freak!"
"He acts so high and mighty just because he is close with Kise-kun…" one girl said loud enough for Kuroko to hear since they didn't even bother to talk quietly at all.
"If he is not Kise-kun's childhood friend I wouldn't even talk to him." one girl added in.
"Yeah he is so rude!"
After the incident in the cafeteria his whole afternoon was uneventful. His whole day consists of studying and sitting alone at the gym while his classmates play basketball for their PE class.
Kuroko fished his phone out of his pocket checking if Kise sent him a message but found none. It's been three days since their last VC and by now Kise and his group are already in the UK for their concert. He jumped from his seat when he got a MMS alert on his phone. He clicked the link as he opened the video message and Kise's face immediately popped out of it.
"Hey, Kurokocchi…" he started as he was standing with his back facing the large mirror and in the mirror's reflection Kuroko can see the other members doing their own thing at the background but he couldn't observe them more when the camera angle changes back to focus on Kise's handsome face. He watches as Kise picks up and wears his black Balenciaga cap completing the blond's all black outfit.
"I'm sending you this video message instead of a text. I know I said the last time that I'll text you after but after that call from Akashicchi we just got really busy." Kuroko frowned, Kise's cheery voice was nonexistent but instead his voice just felt like he was really tired.
"I'm sorry."
It's fine, Kise-kun. I know you are busy, you don't have to explain yourself. Or even say sorry. He thought to himself.
"Currently we are in a dance studio to practice our choreo. Later after lunch we'll have a quick photoshoot for our photobook collection. I'll send you a copy when it's printed." the blond said, trying to act charming and cute.
What a dork.
"Uh...so…" Kise scratched his chin, "Anyway I got to go now hope you're doing well there, don't study too hard nerd...hopefully we can VC soon...send me a text after you watch this...bye Kurokocchi."
With that video message ended.
Kuroko sighs, "Kise-kun really is a dork…" he chuckled to himself.
Yes being an idol is hard but being a childhood friend of an idol is hard too.
This unknown feeling is really hard to comprehend…
