Chapter 5 Control Me
It finally happend.
Knock! Knock!
Ding-dong! Ding-dong!
Tsukumo Ryo who happen to have awoken from sleep state to wide awake.
He made sure to check his proud iphone 13 that he flexed to Yaotome papa before. The clock says it is 9:00 pm.
Who the hell would disturb him late?!
"Even if it is my day off this is unforgivable." Tsukumo mutters in annoyance. "This better be important!" Grumpy about it but he forced himself to atleast comb his hair, brush his teeth, changed clothes to formal ones before he goes to the door.
To his surprise the knock and door bell ring still coming despite how he made the person wait 7 minutes before he entertains it.
"How annoying!" Pissed, Tsukumo press the button of the camera to see who it is.
To his dumbfounded reaction in huge disbelief.
He forgot this boy existed.
It's the cinnamon roll Nanase Riku with a sad puppy face viewing through the peep hole.
The voice spoke. "Ryo-san." First name basis, the face Riku making begging for him to open the door. "Are you there? I know you are, you said your day off is always saturday and sunday. Today is saturday...please open..."
Tsukumo finally gained his vocals.
"Ri...ku...?!"
Opening the door.
About to play a nice act only to-
"Riku-"
"Ryo-san!"
Riku jumps to embrace him. Forcing his smaller hands to cling on Tsukumo's clothes in desperation and the despair in his voice.
"Please make me forget...make me forget about Tenn-nii! Please, please!" Nanase Riku finally submits. "Please fuck me!"
Tsukumo Ryo wondering how did it end up like this again...?
Ahh, because he offered to be friends.
To be good friends.
Such good friends he says...
With benefits.
.

Days before Riku submitted to Tsukumo's temptations.
Izumi Iori at Idolish 7 dorms, specifically his room.
"Uhhh...?" As if something woke him up. "What time is it...?" Grabbing his cellphone that is beside his pillow. Reading the time. "10:00 pm..."
Rubbing eyes, Iori went down his loft bed and glances at the calendar. "Ah right...it is Saturday."
Idolish7's day off.
Iori went out of his room. It is quiet.
"Ah right, they were drinking?" When it was still morning around 9am...
Mitsuki, Yamato and Nagi were invited by Re:vale to drink. Since Nagi is revealed as Prince for a fact they know he is allowed to drink with them by just that-
"Were going to drink! Take care of Riku and Tamaki, Iori~!" Yamato says.
Iori with deadpan face waves back. "Fine, fine, I will take care of the kids."
Mitsuki Tsukkomi's. "Riku is older though!"
Iori yawns. "And that Nanase Riku is out to shop." Behind him is Riku getting ready so he can shop groceries for himself and everyone.
"Eh? You said something Iori?"
Iori already can tell he would be babysitting the spoiled kid and the lazy kid.
Sighing to his fate as their guardian despite being younger and same age around Tamaki.
"Becareful on your hang out Nii-san. Also to you as well Rokuya-san, Nikaido-san."
The three glees off. "See yaa late night Iori!"
The door closes.
Then, "Iori, I'll be back." Iori allowing Riku to shop despite being a superstar.
'So far nobody had spotted him. Should be no difference today.' Iori reminded him. "Make sure to wear your mask Nanase-san."
Riku smiles. "Sure thing! See ya!"
The door once again closes.
Iori went to the living room and Tamaki challenge him to a game and whoever looses have their pudding get eaten by the winning opponent like chess.
Iori is still a kid, sometimes he wants to be playful. Accepting the challenge so Tamaki won't be lazy nor run wild. "Fine I take up the challenge, don't be angry if I get all the puddings."
The game ended around 2pm ... Thus before they could control, Tamaki and Iori forgot about Riku running late since they both feels so sleepy and went to their rooms.
...
Tick, tock, tick, tock.
"The game was fun." Iori says to himself as he wash his face and finally he noticed Riku's room.
'Is he back...?'
Iori about to knock on Riku's door since he recalled no meal where left at kitchen. 'He must be hungry.'
"Nanase-"
Iori's ears shivers.
"Eh?"
He heard Riku...
"Tenn...nii...nnhh..."
Iori blinks. It is not unusual for Riku to say Tenn-nii all over again but this sounds...sound different.
Instead of calling out, Iori got curious and place an ear to Riku's door.
Listening carefully and half worried. 'Is he having a nightmare or...asthma attack?'
Because he can hear Riku breathing strangely.
Izumi Iori focus himself to Riku's door and finally able to make out words.
Riku is saying: hahh...Tenn-nii...I love you...
Iori got worried that maybe Riku is dying out of breath but... 'Why does Nanase-san sound...so...'
It kinda sounds lewd.
"Nanase-san?"
KNOCK, KNOCK!
"Can I enter?"
Iori never asked to enter Riku's door properly before because he is arrogant brat to him. However lately since Riku looks sad despite being a super star he starts to respect private space for him.
While Riku jolted from the sound of Iori's voice. Quickly Riku stops touching himself, fixing his clothes then hugs the rabbit stuff toy Tsukumo gave him to gain moral support.
"E-eh? Iori you are awake?!" Riku squeaks. Iori made a face. "I'm coming in!"
The door opens and he found Riku in sitting position of his bed with legs hiding his bulk while hugging a rabbit plushie he never seen before.
Thanks to this rabbit Iori forgot to ask what was the noises Riku making.
He is now onto the toy.
"Where did you get that?" Because it is very cute. Iori really wants to know how Riku obtained such thing!
Riku who can tell Iori's eyes sparkled to the toy which is a good decision he made to mask the bulge in his pants still halfway done.
"U-uhh from an arcade!" Riku lied. "So I got late on my errands...ehehe...heh..." sweat drops.
Iori doubts but he wants to touch the plushie. "Ok...then may I see it closely?" Iori already at his front.
Riku scolds him. "Hey! This is my room don't just barge in-"
"I knocked this time."
Riku scorn face but immediately allows Iori to take the plushie from him.
Iori is feeling the texture. "It's a good quality."
Riku giggles. "You want it~?"
Iori who still hides the truth. "As if!" And throws it to Riku's face, headshot.
BONK!
"Ow! You uncuteee!"
Although mean no harm.
Iori sighs. "Well I bet you are hungry. Quick, let's eat something."
Riku glances at his own pants and his being seem to have calm down.
"Sure!"
Cheerfully Riku follows Iori at the kitchen.
Iori cook a simple omellete. Unlike his brother, Iori can also cook but Mitsuki's cooking is much more heart pounding when you eat it.
"Thanks for the food!" Riku happily eats until both of them are done.
"Don't sleep yet, we just ate." Is the parental reminder of Iori. Riku pouts at the sofa. "I know, I know~"
While cleaning dishes...
Something still bothers Iori.
'Seconds earlier...Nanase-san says out loud he loves Kujo Tenn. But when I opened the door he is fully awake and hugging that cute, cute, super cute plushie.'
Clearing throat.
"Ehem."
Taking Riku's attention.
Iori can't ignore that strange sound he heard. So he had to investigate...also he told everyone he will make spill beans why lately Riku looks exhausted yet whenever he perform without effort he is dazzling.
Riku have changed. It is what Kujo and him expect...Riku is becoming more of a monster.
Glad things are still under control.
But is Riku's mental health in check...?
"I hope you do not mind me asking Nanase-san, Why are you so obsess with your brother?" Out of blue Iori says. "Is it a Twin thing?"
Riku whose not being careful. "What? No! I love Tenn-nii that is why!" He spills.
Iori done with dishes and then sat at the same sofa just across so he can carefully observe Riku's facial expression and movements to any signs of anxiety.
"Then it's a sibling thing." Iori dared him.
Riku getting hot headed. "No! I...I love Tenn-nii more than just a twin!"
Iori raised an eyebrow. A thought, 'A pattern I have never seen before? What is Nanase-san spouting ?'
Riku shook his head and starts to fidget. "Iori...have you ever dreamed of kissing Mitsuki?"
Interrupted. "Pardon?"
Izumi Iori did not expect how suddenly Riku let his guard down and said something nobody would have guessed.
"You see Iori...I always..." Riku wet his lips.
Actually Riku wanted to consult to Iori. Remember how he tried to make various scenarios to tell Iori that Tsukumo did him. However Riku is much more overwhelmed with his own drowning wishes.
Riku thinks Iori can make all his wishes come true. 'Just like how Iori is able to make me a super star...'
However it is not enough.
He still doesn't have Tenn's attention.
'I thought Tenn-nii will accept me if I became equal...but...it doesn't go that way because I was not clear enough. Will Iori help me?'
Riku took a deep breath, gazing up to Iori with his powerful pitiful face he confesses.
"Iori, I always wanted to hug...to kiss..to hold hands with Tenn-nii."
Iori flat response. "Such a child." He expected Riku is longing for his sibling. All siblings as a child knows how to hug, kiss their sibling in cheek and take shower together is normal.
What is NOT normal is the next thing Riku says.
"I wanna have sex with Tenn-nii."
"HAHH?"
Iori thought he misheard.
"Come again?"
Riku did not repeat himself and stared intently to Iori's eyes.
He finally realizes the dots connected.
Somehow angry. "Nanase-san, do you even hear yourself?"
Riku genuinely questions it. "...Is it bad?" Like a child innocently asking a stupid question because they really are still ignorant on such things.
But Riku is hella 19 years old turning 20 next year! Of course he knows what he is saying!
Iori snaps. "Not only bad...that is not normal!" Grabbing both Riku's shoulders to out sense to him. "Are you sure you aren't just confusing yourself?!"
This just mean whatever he heard on Riku's room, his suspicion of it being a lewd sound is actually true...!
Iori is not dumb, that kind of thing...those sounds...Riku is definitely masturbating about Kujo Tenn! Puberty in heat?!
...Riku still like a brat not knowing how heavy the thing he drop bomb here. "I'm not! Gee Iori! I told you this because I trust you...after swearing to help me control myself!" Is his intentions.
Taken back. 'Oh, he actually consulting to me? This is surprising...at least I got his trust.' Iori tries to compose himself.
"I mean I know you have a big brother complex but where on earth did you come to a conclusion that you want to make...ehm, love with Kujo Tenn?"
Riku blushes. "Since were little." Then plays with his fingers like an embarass school girl.
Iori tries not to make a face, forcing to remain emotionless as much as possible so it wont make the lil monster in berserk mode.
"Are you serious? How old are you that time?"
Riku unsure. "...7 years old?"
Iori is done.
"I ignored it for years. B-but now am near my 20's, I cannot hold it anymore Iori. Am suffering!"
So done.
"What should I do Iori...?"
Puppy eyes.
"Help me."
Heavy Sighing.
"Iori...?"
He sat beside Riku. "Is this why you have been so depressing?" Iori guessed.
Riku admits everything. "The reason I wanna be a super star so I can stand on same stage with Tenn-nii hoping he would look at me. However...in the end he never wanted me."
Iori did not know yet. "Something happend between you two again?"
Riku nods. "Remember when I collapsed? Tenn-nii told me when he was with me at my room. I woke up from the fever...he told me to graduate from him...the brother complex."
Iori listening. "And I couldn't tell him it was not a simple brotherly love...that I wanted more...more of Tenn-nii!" Seeing the frustration from Riku's sad face.
Iori kinda wants to support him but at the same time...
'This is an impossible wish Nanase-san.' Is what Iori really wants to reply but...
"Nanase-san."
"Yes?"
"First am grateful you are allowing me to control you. Like literally even your pent up frustration from not having your beloved brother's love at the same content." Iori tries to swoon him. "So as your controller, I will be straight to the point."
Riku feeling Iori's sincerity to help him. "Iori..."
However Iori says the painful truth. "Regardless if you and him are not family anymore. This is still incest since you are blood related."
Riku says nothing. More like... "Eh? You aren't bother that I like...a fellow guy?" He blurts out.
Iori had small red cheeks and tries to reason with him. "Well you are a cute person to me. So having a crush on another guy is normal if out of adoration." Putting a facade of maturity. "Basically you just happen to like your own sibling. That's it."
Riku kinda felt accepted. "Thanks Iori!"
Iori pinch his nose. "Still Nanase-san this isn't right! You don't want Kujo Tenn to hate you right?"
"O-ow don't pull my nose!"
Delibirately Iori pointing not to Tenn but to all Riku's fans.
They will be disgusted.
'Even if Kujo Tenn somehow feels mutual with Nanase-san's kind of love...the fact they cannot be together anymore and even if Kujo Tenn returns as Nanase Tenn, much more reason they just can't.'
Hoping Riku realizes that.
"Ahh~ahh." Riku looks above the ceiling with surrendering face. A forced smile which is broken. "I know Iori, I know..."
The fact Riku knows is enough for Iori to be able to tell that Riku can bare it.
To hide this forever just like how Tenn hiding forever that Riku is his precious little brother.
In this way...the two...
'They really are twins.'
Trying to cheer Riku since he has now confirmed this spoiled center still had common sense remaining in his little braincells that is weak to stress.
"Nanase-san, try to put your love to someone else. Like your fans. It might be torturing first but...at least it is not your family member."
Riku gets what Iori is pointing.
He can put his pent up frustration to anyone except Tenn his brother.
Because that's gay and incest.
The incest part is the worst for everyone at this rate. If they are royals its allowed but it has to be male and female.
Riku for now is satisfied. "Iori, I feel better you didn't get mad. I'm glad you are controlling me!" Standing up from the sofa with motivation. "You are right! Lots of people love me! Someday, somewhere...maybe one of them can replace my Tenn-nii in this heart of mine!"
Iori smiles. "I pray you will..."
.
.
.
.
.
It's lie.
It is still a lie.
'So easy for idols to lie...'
Nanase Riku thought so.
'Only if it is also easy to control sex desires.'
Days had passed.
Now Iori knows Riku's secret affection to Tenn. Iori made sure that Riku will not cross paths with Kujo Tenn.
Little did he know this is a very bad decision.
Because now that Riku doesn't have to see Tenn so he won't be reminded of his pent up feelings to make love with his twin.
One day Riku couldn't stop himself.
Inside the cubicle.
Right now they had another MV to shoot. Riku excused himself to go on the restroom. Perfect timing it is break time for shooting and for some reason everyone does not feel like sticking together.
They are in Hokkaido right now.
Inside the Hokkaido hotel...
Riku couldn't reach their hotel room since they are just on standby. So he used the public restroom that anyone can use inside the hotel.
Which is...
"I'll try thinking of the other girl I saw." Riku had been trying to scan his fangirls and tries to masturbate with thoughts of them.
Hoping he can throw Tenn.
Sometimes of course he ends up seeing Tsukumo since that man took his first time. However Riku wants to change.
He wants to be normal.
"Nnmmh." Making sure he lowers his voice, suddenly a voice echoed.
"~Oh my, my an idol touching himself how surprising~!"
Riku frozed.
'Eh? Eh? Who?!'
He now notice a shadow covering him. His footing sees another shadow, looking above him.
"Waah?!"
Tsukumo Ryo is peeking above the cubicle. "Yahooooo Riku~"
"T-Tsukumo-san!?"
Quickly unlocking the cubicle. Tsukumo Ryo casually standing there. Nobody else is at this restroom. What a perfect setting.
"Do you need help~?" Is the teasing. Riku sense danger. "Pardon?! G-get out!"
Tsukumo is not threaten at all. "Yaaa Riku long time no see! How are you? My day off is Saturday and Sunday! It is Saturday todaaay! Am free of service~ Ne, ne, ne! ~How are youuu?"
Riku knows he is being teased. "We just met at Hotel MIDO in Okinawa and then you saved me from media last, last week handing me a plushie!"
Tsukumo in his playful gears. "Eh~? Did we?"
"I-I still believe you assaulted me though!" Is Riku's final argument.
Tsukumo crossed his arms. "Hmm~ I don't know what you are saying but are you perhaps...wanting to talk to me?"
Riku went red. "N-no thanks!"
The reason Tsukumo Ryo is here is because he had been stalking Riku. Although half reason is he does have activities and deal for Zool's marketing strategy and this what makes Tsukumo badly happy.
For some reason coincidences happens that Idolish7 and Zool shoots at same place like this one.
But Tsukumo alone is a devil, he is here he always mean harm.
"Ohh myyy I wonder what is this~?" Pulling out his iPhone 13 and flex to Riku. "Eh?"
Riku rubs his eyes, he sees himself and Tsukumo both naked at a hotel bed.
'This is...' It's their photo.
"Y-you took..." fear covered Riku instantly.
Tsukumo evil smiles and waves the dangerous phone. "Ahaha~! What do you say Riku~? Won't it be scaaaaandalous for a super idol? Hmm?"
Riku eyed the exit. He just now notice the restroom door is closed. 'D-did he lock it?!' To corner him?
"W-why me? Why are you-"
Tsukumo's scary evil face turns into cute ones.
"Because I love you, Riku." Furrowed eyebrows from Riku. 'I keep hearing him say this.' Tsukumo says one more time. "Am your no.1 fan Riku!" Riku almost rolled his eyes, but the feelings of being terrible is much stronger. "But...am a monster." In almost whisper, Tsukumo perks up. "Huh? Who says so?"
"Nothing!" Riku puts a brave front. "Please delete that photo!" Trying to reason with this unreasonable man. "You were so nice to me! You said you are my ally! Then why are you blackmailing me?!"
Tsukumo follows his whims all the time, so to be properly asked a question. "Hmmm~?" Pretending to think hard. "Who said am blackmailing you~?" Is his cheerful conclusion.
Riku confused. "Then why keep the photo?"
Tsukumo shake his head still smiling ear to ear.
"Souveniiiir duhh."
"Hah?"
Tsukumo hides the phone. He can hear footsteps. "I wish we can be very good friends! You can have lots of benefits for being friends with me Riku! I can protect you! Buy this and buy that! Take you here and take you thereee! Have your sales rise moooree with my influence then more money and fame! And also perhaaaaps emotional support and body healthcare~? What do you say?" Before time runs out, Tsukumo took Riku's hands to a forced shake.
"Come on accept my hand shake, seal the deal!"
"L-let go!"
Riku nervous more like don't know how to response to this strange man. "Also! W-Will that even make you happy if were friends out of benefits only?" Mind is screaming. 'Also what the heck friends with benefits even means?'
A random voice echoes on the door. "Eh? The toilet is lock? Hey someone there?"
Tsukumo knows it is time to retreat.
"Ehem!"
"W-what now?"
Tsukumo squish Riku's hands. "What am trying to say have fun with me! I'm much better than...your poorly movements." Is the idea.
Riku finally get it, extreme flame on his ears. "Hey!"
Tsukumo hushes him with a finger. "Nahh-ahh-ahh! TIMES UP! Anyway Riku, please~ I'm a busy man. Here is my apartment address. If you want something from me visit me alone. As mention, as always...I'm 100% we will be such, such, suuuuch good friends!"
"W-wait...!"
Opening the door, the random person outside startled how Tsukumo casually walks out after unlocking the door.
"By the way just call me RYO-SAN stop saying Tsukumo, Tsukumo. It feels like my big brother! Eeeww!" Giggling at his own. "Tatta! Rikuuu! byebeee~"
The random person looks at Riku.
"What are you guys doing locking the door? This is a public restroom! Get a room!" Is the accusation.
Riku just accepted the scolding. "N-noway..."
The MV is done. Tomorrow morning they will leave Hokkaido.
But in the shower, Riku is full of lewd thoughts. Covering his mouth as he though deeply of Tsukumo's friends with benefits thing.
With his throbbing manhood.
'I want to be fucked...this cannot be!'
Almost crying. "Iori said this is a sin to feel to your blood related sibling...if I put this love to my fans it will be okay..."
Tsukumo said he was a fan right?
"If so would it benefit me to see Tsukumo-san so I can forget about my feelings for Tenn-nii...?"
Riku is trying to make a decision.
To accept Tsukumo's proposal or...to keep suffering?
.
.

.
.
.
"Cheers!"
Right now a party happening in a vacation hut Takanashi Production rent after the MV.
"For all the hardworking of every single one of you, from the bottom of our hearts we celebrate!"
Everyone claps.
Otonashi papa, Banri and Tsumugi took their seat and let the Idolish7 do their usual nakayoshi moments.
"Almost everyone except Iori and Tamaki is still underage to drink!" Mitsuki says, "This means Riku and Nagi can finally join us~!" Offering Nagi and Riku some Osake.
Nagi who haven't tried Japanese wine even though he is legally been drinking back to Northmeir. He glees, "Finally Japanese liquor! I'm exciteeed sankyuuu Mit-suki!" Accepting the pour on cup.
Yamato grins and gives Riku with a cup already wine in it. "Here's yours Riku!" However to their surprise politely Riku declines.
"E-ehm, I would rather not..." Sogo whose besides him worried. "Riku-kun, Is Sake going to trigger your asthma as well?"
Suddenly everyone's eyes drops to Riku with concern.
Riku in defense. "E-eh? No! I'm just not found of drinking...I think...hehehe..." scratching cheeks.
Nagi tries to convince him. "O-Riku did you know liquor is good for heart as long as it is not everyday? Like red wine and white wine!"
Riku still not up to it. "Errr..." then Yamato grabs a box of mini bites chocolate. "If you do not like an actual liquor Riku, here is a chocolate with liquor in it." Grinning. "Try it out and tell us if you like it or not!"
This time Riku force a smile and confessed a fact about himself he never told anyone yet.
"I hate chocolate. It also triggers my asthma...I got a chocolate valentine from a girl before and I split it up to my fellow boy classmates."
Everyone went silent.
Mitsuki jawdrops in disbelief before he snaps. "Riku that's so cold hearted!"
Yamato commented. "Wew what a monster."
Riku not getting why everyone feeling sorry for the girl's chocolate.
Iori finally spoke up. "To think you are still wearing the cute face while casually rejecting someone...I cannot believe you sometimes Nanase-san."
Triggered by Iori's reaction, Riku falls to a dare. "W-what! Fineee! I'll take one chocolate wine! Don't blame me if I get an attack! Bleeehh!"
Snatching a chocolate from Yamato's box of chocolate, the eldest tries to stop him. "Wait Riku don't force yourself-!"
NOM, NOM.
"Ah, Rikkun ate it." Tamaki just munching some corns.
Everyone anticipated what will happen to Riku.
If it is true chocolate triggers his asthma as well...they better be ready to...
"Hic!"
"Eh?"
Riku turns red.
"Huh? I'm not having an attack...?" Riku stumbles.
"Oi!" Yamato catching him. "Riku? Are you..."
Riku's face is different color.
Iori guessed. "Don't tell me he got drunk with that?!"
Riku acting fuzzy in Yamato's arms. "Yamato-san..." he looks up to him, for some reason that made Yamato blush. "W-what is it Riku?" Sweat drops.
Riku smiles and hugs his arm. "You are so warm~"
Everyone gawks. "EH? HE IS DRUNK INDEED?!"
Mitsuki scolding Yamato. "Hey don't take advantage of our center whose liquor tolerance is too weak!" Yamato tsukkomi's. "Why is it my fault?! Riku is the one who cuddles to my arms!"
Sogo just giggling now. "Aww Riku looks like a panda." Tamaki disturb by Sogo's feedback. "Save Rikkun, So-chan."
Nagi eats the chocolate then... "Woah! The liquor in this chocolate is strong! But Riku just have weak tolerance indeed. If you eat 10 of these you will get drunk."
Iori eyeing Riku. "But he only ate one."
Otonashi, Banri whose drunk from the Osake don't have idea what is happening while Tsumugi is also drunk with the chocolate.
Everyone is almost drunk but the most drunk is Riku.
"Yamato saaaan~ I want warmth!" Clinging to Yamato. "Riku please let go! Nii-san might not be able to contain himself! Y-you are too cute right now!"
Iori finally steps in. "Nanase-san."
Riku with dizzy eyes looks to Iori. "Yeah~? Hic!"
Pulling Riku away from Yamato whose blushing hard from Riku's touchy moments with him earlier.
"I will take you to your room. You better sleep this or you will hurt yourself." Iori acting adult again, everyone agreed.
"Yeah Iori! Take care of our baby Riku!"
Tamaki tries to eat the chocolate then Sogo tells him to stop. "Hey Tamaki! You still underage!"
Tamaki stick out his tongue to tease. "It's just chocolaaaateee!"
While everyone going loud...Iori supported Riku back to the silent part of the vacation hut.
In a hut a bit further from the party hut but you can still see the gang from afar having chaos.
Iori places down the futon. Lights still off, they are borrowing the lights from outside.
It is night time at this point.
"Come on now Nanase-san, lie down."
Riku acting drunk, he smirks. "Lie down huh~" to Iori's surprise the little monster leaps to him and said. "Rawr~!"
"Eh- Nanase-san wait!"
THUD!
Finding himself falling to the futon he prepared. Riku is hovering above him with the chihuahua face, Iori froze.
"Ah-ha-ha! Caught Iori~hehee..." Riku purr. Iori narrowed his eyes. "Get off." Then Riku says this in heavy breathing, switching mood from playful to sad ones. "I...o..ri.."
Iori worried. 'Oh no, is it the chocolate triggering his asthma now?' Calling out the older one. "Nanase-san are you having difficulties on breathing now? Where is your inhaler-"
But Riku touches his face and starts to smile with such...such eyes that captivates you to stare back.
What is happening?
"Iori please love me. Make me forget about Tenn-nii...I beg of you Iori...make me feel love~" zooming in.
Iori knows what is Riku asking him to do, and hell no! This is not the relationship they should be doing to their contract.
"Nanase-san snap out of it!" Pushing Riku away.
"Ow!" Riku ended up at the floor with painful butt. "Iori...so mean~! Hic! Buu~" The spoil brat whines.
Iori sighs. 'Safe...That was dangerous.' It was close enough for him and Riku to kiss...if that happens... 'I might not be able to see Nanase-san the same again if ever he succesfully captured my lips...!' Slightly blushing from the thought. 'How cute.'
Then he heard Riku coughs. "((Coughs!)), ((coughs!))"
Iori shaking his head. "See told you? You are drunk, your asthma active again. Go to sleep please."
Riku crawls to the futon as ordered, but when he lay down and Iori covered him with sheets.
Nanase Riku starts to sob. "...Tenn-nii...I love you so much...why...why we can't be one?"
Iori's eyes soften. It is not his thing but...
"Idolish7 loves you more Nanase-san, I as well. I'm sure someone else besides us loves you the most...somewhere out there, or someday." Petting Riku's hair until he slowly closes his eyes into sleep mode.
"Who loves me...Iori...?"
Iori didn't answer that instead he heard.
"Goodnight Nanase-san..."
The moment Riku falls to the darkness, a certain individual appeared in his thoughts.
(("Am your ally Riku!"))
Clap!
(("We'll be good friends for sure!"))
Clap!
(("I love you Riku!"))
Clap!
(("Am your no.1...fan!"))
Clap!
..
((GASPS))
Riku opened his eyes. It is already morning, he noticed everyone is back at their room hut and they are all dead.
Kidding, everyone is snoring.
"...What happen to me last night?" Riku's head hurts. "Ow, ow...what the heck?" Rubbing his head, he got up and walk outside.
Chirp, chirp.
For some reason Riku felt like slipping his hand to his pockets and found...
A certain calling card.
Eyes recognize it.
'Ahh...this person said we are alike.'
Perfect timing he always wanted to know more details regarding why Tenn abandoned him.
Thanks to this person he found the truth.
"Tenn-nii paid the debt by selling himself to Kujo..." determined to gain more insights to satisfy his craving from his twin.
"Tsukumo Ryo's apartment address..." Riku is thinking of doing the stupid thing for the 2nd time. "I need to talk to him."
"Riku-san?"
Quickly hiding the calling card back to his pockets, turning around.
"M-Manager?!" To think Takanashi Tsumugi is already awake.
"You up early. How is your asthma?" Is the first thing Tsumugi ask. Riku blinks he remember now the events from last night. 'Oh I got drunk with a silly one chocolate!?' Embarrass about whatever he did while under influence of liquor. "I-I'm so sorry for the trouble!" Bowing.
Tsumugi is glad Riku seems fine. "As long it is not life threatening."
But a concern raised, to Tsumugi this is the perfect timing to talk about it.
"Say Riku-san..."
"Y-yes?"
Tsumugi proposed an advantage for Riku.
"You are too popular and busy nowadays...want to visit your family for an off?"
The wind blows.
"Really...?"
...
Takanashi productions announces that activities of Nanase Riku will be on break for a week to spend time with his family.
Except...Riku didn't actually went to his family.
Everyone in Idolish7 assumed he went home.
But he is here...
At Tsukumo Ryo's apartment door.
DING-DONG.
No response.
Riku getting impatient.
'Open up, open up...!'
KNOCK! KNOCK!
Riku's goal is just to talk to him in regards more information of Tenn reasons leaving him behind and his family.
However...
The more Riku wait at the door, the more naughty thoughts crosses his mind.
After all...Riku cannot forget what Tsukumo Ryo did to his body.
His body is in heat since that day and until now it drives him crazy, how Iori pushed him off, especially not Tenn won't help him put it down.
So in outburst.
In anger and pettiness to self.
The moment the door opened.
The monster is out if control.
"Riku-"
"Ryo-san!"
Clinging to the taller man in verge of crying and pent up frustration, Riku spoke out loud his inner thoughts by accident. "Please make me forget...make me forget about Tenn-nii! Please, please! Please fuck me!"
Gasps.
Riku pulls away. 'What the hell did I just-'
It is too late to take it back though. "Sorry that is not what I meant-"
Tsukumo Ryo grabs his wrist and pulls him inside his apartment.
"As you wish~"
"Eh? N-no! Like I said it was not what it sounds like-"
Getting kabedon at the door, it locks.
CLICK.
Riku is now inside Ryo's apartment cornered.
Tsukumo smiles at him while Riku putting that scared face.
"You wanna be good friends with me now Riku~?"
Nanase Riku gulps down.
He knew he created this rabbit hole now he cannot take it back.
Tsukumo Ryo just waiting for Riku to response.
The boy slowly...with uncertainty replied.
Trying to be careful. "Uhh...I-I'm here to hear more about how you found out Tenn-nii secret for...about Kujo...umm..." their eyes met.
Those puppy eyes of Riku...
Ryo's heart flutters.
Tsukumo noticed one thing that catch him the most.
"By the way you called me by my first name! You did, you diiiid~?"
Riku suddenly acting tsundere. "I-I did not. Wait, so what?"
Ryo steps away and properly welcomes him.
"Come here Riku~ I will make you the best coffee ever! Since last time you weren't able to drink it."
Riku nods. "O-ok sure."
Stepping further inside, he choose to sit at the sofa. This is the same apartment where Momo visits Tsukumo whenever the man wants to cook something special and the lucky Revale boy will be able to feast on it.
That is how Tsukumo Ryo expresses importance to someone, he especially cooks for them or whatever. Just make something for them.
Riku getting nervous.
Badump, badump.
'Why did I go here solo? I should have gone back to my parents house like really!' He cannot shake off the wet dream. 'He might attack me again!'
But really, that was not the issue.
Riku knows himself, he just indenial. 'Am getting out of control...!' Iori refuses to help him with the beast thing but Iori can only offer emotional support.
But...
"I want more." Riku says out loud.
Tsukumo puts the cup of coffee and already poured his special coffee recipe. "Eh? What? What? You said something to me Riku? What do you waaant~?"
Riku covers his own mouth, he did not mean to. "N-nothing!"
Tsukumo plays along. "Okie dokieee~ now drink!"
Riku accepting the cup. "T-thank you."
Ryo happily watching him. "How was it~? Is it taaasty~?"
Riku blinks, it is actually good. "I-it is good. You made it?" A proper conversation. "It is my own recipe of coffee Riku! Only you and Momo is able to savour it~!"
Riku somehow felt glad that this is going to be a proper talk.
For now.
"I-I see."
Slurping sounds.
Silence...
Tsukumo Ryo still grinning ear to ear while watching Riku finishing his cup.
Starting to feel uncomfortable again.
"U-um...Ryo...san?"
"Yeees?"
Riku finally gain composure and asks.
"About what you told me when we first met...can you tell me more about it? How...Tenn-nii left so he can...pay my medical bills...I want to know more! I want to...properly understand Tenn-nii's action why...why he always and my family left me out of important things...!"
'Oooohh Interesting.' Tsukumo Ryo paused, he did not expect Riku would lower his guard and literally go here alone just to ask this...this about Kujo Tenn.
But hold up.
'Riku is madly inlove with his brother~ maybe I can use this to...'
Tsukumo Ryo laughs. "My, my! Is that all?" He tries to impress Riku by spreading his arms with welcoming feeling. "I will tell you eeeeeverything your twin brother hide from you!"
Riku staring at him with doubts yet determine to do anything so he can get what he wants.
"If so..." as if a wound opening up, Riku grips to his pants. He is...still afraid.
Ryo noticed it and tries to be nice as possible. "What's wrong Riku~? Don't be shy, do not he afraid! Am your friend~! I know everything about you~"
Tsukumo Ryo taking a hand top to Riku's, the boy flinches when the man is beside him already. So...near.
"I feel you Riku, when your family belittles you. How unfortunate." Tsukumo comforting Riku's trembling hands. "Poor pitiful Riku~ we are alike."
Getting Riku's attention to response back. "We are alike? You said that before. What exactly do you mean?"
Seeing the interest from Riku's eyes, Tsukumo shares his dramatic life. In his prespective that it...
"You see I have a big brother too." Riku's eyes goes wider. Tsukumo smirking inside, 'I'll make Riku pity me then he will eventually open up to me~!' Is the plan.
"So we are both talented in a sense. However they still think am defective. Just like you and Nanase Tenn. Talented with the power of singing but in the end you were a failure."
Sting. Riku bit his lips. "T-that's..."
Tsukumo Ryo his dramatic sad, sad voice it almost sounds force and mocking. "No matter what I do, our parents always tell me I don't have to do this or that. That I can just sit here and do what I want while my brother can do so maaaaany magnificent things." Tsukumo always makes sure he compares his situation to Riku and Tenn's relationship.
"Like how Tenn can sing and dance yet he stops you from doing the same thing. Aaaaall because you are sickly~!"
Riku is silent, it struck him. 'H-he's right...that is exactly what Tenn-nii is doing to me. Stopping me from doing what I love...'
Tsukumo continues. "Then you know what they try to reason with me~? They told me Ryo can't handle being a boss. It may trigger your anxiety cauuuuseee you are short temper and emotional. Then they made my big brother the CEO of Tsukumo productions even though am much, much, muuuch better than him!"
As if bipolar, Tsukumo from pretending so wounded, he suddenly got affected of the things he said. He begins to get angry by just recalling how his family never expected anything from him.
"DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW IT PAINS ME I WAS NEVER NEEDED?!"
Riku shrinks. "E-ehm..."
Tsukumo Ryo snaps out from raising his voice. 'Oops did I scare him? I need to calm down...' talking about his own brother being the best while he isn't recognize at all...it does trigger him sometimes.
But going back to get Riku's trust. Tsukumo Ryo wanted to be Riku's comfort zone in a sense.
Going back to his calmer voice but still you can feel malice and the gaslighting.
"Like you Riku, if you are not sickly! You can surpass Kujo Tenn's! Because he studied abroad to be skilled in sing and dance! However you Riku! You don't need to follow by the book! You are captivating! Your vocaaals are far! Far! FAR GREATER THAN THE REST OF IDOLS!"
Riku's depressing expression disappeared into amazed reaction.
Nanase Riku seriously thought so. 'This man...he knows me indeed. He knows what I want...he...he...'
Tsukumo Ryo still running his mouth. "Then again, your beloved Nanase Tenn did sold himself to Kujo Takamasa to pay for your medical bills and your parents debt into their bankruptcy. Even so isn't cruel~? They didn't even consult your opinion. Just like me...when my papa got sick, mama took care of him. Then they did not even bother to tell me that he is sick and just Waaaaa surprise me the one sitting now in the chair is no other than my brother! I ask them what is happening they were like Ooohhh we didn't tell you because we didn't want to worry you! How rudeee! Right?!"
Before Tsukumo can add more brainwashing words Riku talks back agreeing.
"Yeah! That is so mean! They should...still ask for our opinion no matter how fragile we are...or incompetent..." Riku looks up to Tsukumo.
This time the man got off guard.
A facial expression of Nanase Riku he never saw before.
A face of someone whose giving him empathy.
Riku is showing his sympathy to him and Momo never did this.
"Ryo...san...you suffered too huh."
Anxious, Tsumuko Ryo did not expect this outcome. Too good to be true.
"Say...you said we can be GOOD friends right? With...benefits...whatever that means..." Riku pulls him closer. "If so let's lick eachother wound." As if inviting. "Ryo-san...how sorrowful you are..."
Not prepared for Riku to cup his cheeks, the monster declared something out of his character.
"You need me right? Then allow me to need you too...make me forget Tenn-nii, then I will make your loneliness as my fan into shooting stars."
Riku kisses his lips.
Tsukumo Ryo panics inside.
'IS THIS THE REAL RIKUUU?!'
Riku pulls away and their eyes met.
"Want me to try controlling you Ryo-san?"
