Elevator
So hold on tight and don't look down
As I lift your body off the ground
To the penthouse floor above the clouds.
I'm your elevator.
Hey, hey, hey
I'm your elevator.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Elevator - Fozzy
In a stadium of thousands of shouting fans, Honoka stands with Marie Rose next to her. They have become a quite popular duo in the music world and have just finished the final song of their set. Their adrenaline wears off and they take a breath. Honoka turns to her partner with a big grin.
"That was so much fun," she says. "This never gets old."
Marie Rose takes in the sight of Honoka in the lights of the venue. Her features sparkle causing the blonde to blush slightly. I agree, she thinks. I can't wait for later tonight.
The pair make their way backstage and are immediately met by their manager Zack.
"Another amazing show ladies," he tells them. "We need to celebrate. Since we are in my neighborhood. The afterparty is at my place." He leans down to their eye level. "And I expect to see the guests of honor."
"Of course," Maire Rose responds. She turns to Honoka. "I have been waiting for this. It should be really fun."
Honoka gives Marie Rose a quick kiss and turns to Zack. "We will be there. Don't worry."
"Excellent," Zack responds. He turns and starts to walk away. "I will see you two there," he calls over his shoulder.
Marie Rose takes Honoka's hand in her own. "We should go change," the blonde says.
"Alright," Honoka responds. "Although you do look cute in that costume."
Marie Rose twirls her skirt with a giggle. "I know right."
Honoka eyes her for a moment. "Real cute."
"Hey now," Marie Rose responds with a playful scowl. "Don't overdo it."
"I know."
They head to their dressing room and change into casual clothes. After making their way out of the venue they are met by a crowd of fans and reporters. Their faces are lit up from the darkness of the night by the lights of the city and flashes of cameras.
"Smile and wave," Honoka says as they head for a waiting car. Their driver holds the door open and once inside he closes the door and walks around to the driver seat.
"It feels nice to get off my feet," Marie Rose says as she slips out of her shoes. She lets out a sigh and bends down to rub her toes.
"Do you want me to rub them?" Honoka asks. She raises her hands "You can never resist these hands."
"If you insist. I would like that." She throws her legs up into Honoka's lap, who sets to work relieving some of the tension in her muscles. The blonde lets out a giggle from the feeling, then relaxes and the giggle turns to a hum as her eyes flutter closed. "That feels nice," she whispers.
"I always know the right spots," Honoka says. "And if you want, later I get your right spots. Like I said, you can never resist these hands."
Marie Rose tries to keep herself calm after Honoka's words. "It is going to be a late night," she says. "And I am already feeling worn out."
"This must be helping."
The blonde looks up toward Honoka. "Definitely."
The car takes them to a large skyscraper that houses the most well known and well to do in the city. It pulls to a stop and they stare out the window toward the towering building. Moments later the driver comes around to open the door and they step out to the sidewalk.
Honoka's eyes run up the length of the boulding. "He is at the top right?"
"Yup." Marie Rose takes Honoka's hand. "We should get up there," she says. "He is probably waiting for us."
They make their way through the lobby toward the elevators. Someone calls to them from a chair on the other side of the lobby. They turn to him while with a grin and Honoka gives him a "V" sign. Marie Rose just smiles at her antics while she hits the button to call for the elevator. The door opens and they step inside to head up toward Zack's penthouse.
Their eyes widen with surprise when they begin their accent and stare out the glass side and floor at the ground that is becoming smaller by the second. Honoka lets out a startled cry and grabs hold of the supportive arm next to her.
Marie Rose gives her a reassuring smile. "Don't worry," she says. "We will be fine. Just look at me."
Honoka focuses her attention at the pair of comforting blue eyes in front of her. Their surroundings fade away until there is a ding that brings her back to the present. The doors open and they step out to the large penthouse with the party already in full swing.
"Ah welcome," Zack greets them. He turns to address the partygoers. "Ladies and gentlemen. Please welcome the guests of honor."
There is a small cheer from the crowd, which causes the two to become excited. They head out into the group of people to have some fun and mingle. They stick close to each other as they talk about how they got to where they are.
"We just have a good connection," Marie Rose tells a tall woman with long dark hair.
"You two are so cute," she says. She moves in close and lowers her voice. "I have heard rumors that you two are together. Are they true?"
Marie Rose goes from slightly surprised to nervous. "Well it is kind of obvious," she responds, taking Honoka's hand. "We just haven't told anyone yet." She looks across the room. "Although I am pretty sure Zack knows. He just hasn't said anything."
"I knew it," she tells them. "Don't worry. I won't tell anyone."
"Thanks," Marie Rose responds.
As the night and the party ticks on, Honoka and Marie Rose begin to feel cramped. They head out to a balcony overlooking the city to have a moment to themselves.
"This place has such a nice view," Marie Rose says as she sits next to Honoka. "I can see why Zack has this."
"Plus the night air feels good," Honoka responds with her eyes closed and her hair swaying in the breeze.
"Honoka?"
"Hmm."
She turns her head and the blonde leans over to capture her lips in her own. They pull apart and Marie Rose leans on her shoulder.
"We should probably head in soon," Honoka says with a smile.
"Yeah probably," Marie Rose responds. "Just a few more minutes."
