Chapter Text
The park was nearly empty, with the air becoming more cold since it is at evening around 5 P.M. But it doesn’t matter for a lone young man. Brown hair covered with a hat and golden eyes that hidden behind glasses.
Wearing a coat to protect him from the cold air of autumn-near-winter season, Tsunashi Ryuunosuke or Ryuu (the name that was usually used by his family or close friend) lost at his thought while he was seated at one of the park's long benches.
Another argument happened between Kujou Tenn and Yaotome Gaku about their work. With Tenn's professional attitude and Gaku's honest one… this always happened. Ryuu really felt distressed with what he should do now.
He gazed toward the empty park with his golden eyes, lost in thought with his mind full with the problem that is his unit. From his lips came a tired breath. Really… what should he do to fix this… if this keeps up TRIGGER will…
“Are you alright?”
Ryuu blinked when he heard the question, he turned his head to the side and saw a young man with a warm hoodie covering his upper face already sitting beside him. But it didn’t cover the young man's bottom face, Ryuu can see the young man bite his lower lip, a worried expression painted at the young man's bottom face. Oh no… He made a stranger worry about him!
“Ah! I’m fine!”
The young man's lips scrunch up in disbelief “Really? You didn't even realize that someone pickpocketed you earlier.”
“Wh—what?!”
In panic Ryuu immediately checked his wallet and phone, both of them still there. Then he heard a giggle, a beautiful giggle, the voice was like a tinkling bell, it’s so beautiful to hear Ryuu mesmerized when he heard that. He looked toward the young man and saw he’s the one that was giggling, then he just realized that he was tricked.
“It’s not nice to trick someone like that.”
“Ahaha, I’m sorry, but it’s funny. You really lost in your thought that you didn’t even realize it when I sat beside you. It seemed you really bothered by something.” Ryuu then looked down, his own hand entwined with each other, both trembling slightly, Ryuu sigh again and in the end he told the young man about his problem
“My teammates… They have their own personality but it clashes when we are working. Both of them argue with each other, but I know that both of them are right in their own right… I feel helpless because I can’t do anything even though I'm the oldest…”
Silence… the young man kept silent when he listened to Ryuu story, he did not interrupt Ryuu at all and kept on listening, not even once he averted his gaze from Ryuu form. Then Ryuu realized that he just told a stranger about his problem, he immediately looked at the young man and apologized.
“I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to burden you with my problem!”
The young man giggled again, which made Ryuu face red in embarrassment. He just divulged his unit problem to some stranger at the park, and he was even younger than him! (Ryuu just predicted the young man's age since he looked young, maybe around Tenn age?) If there was a hole Ryuu really wants to hide inside the hole. The young man then stared at Ryuu with a fond smile.
“You really care for them…”
Seeing the young man smile, Ryuu felt entranced by the smile. It looks lovely and bright. If he could, he would want to see the young man full face clearly now, but he knew his place and kept his curiosity. The young man then looked at the front with a smile still painted on his face, gazing at the empty park.
“You know… Why don’t you tell them what is inside your mind?”
“Tell them…?”
The young man nodded, “I think they want you to talk about what is inside your mind, to tell them what it is that you want. All of you are a team after all.”
Ryuu stared at the young man with astonished expression and wide eyes, then he smiled to the young man “What i want huh… I see, I will try. Thank you… For listening to me and giving me advice.”
The young man looked at Ryuu, since their height difference, the young man needed to tilt his head up to see Ryuu face directly. Ryuu then sees it, two orb of lovely reddish amber like a sunset looking at him with so much innocence. Pure… is the only thing Ryuu can think when he sees a pair of those lovely orbs.
“I’m glad I can help you.” Seeing the young man smile made Ryuu's face redden because the young man became cuter. Ryuu then felt his phone vibrating in his pocket, he brought out his phone and saw that he had a message from Anesagi. She asked where he is and that he is needed at the studio. Now.
“Crap. I need to go now. My manager texted me.” Ryuu stood up from his seat and gazed at the young man. The young man nodded his head in understanding
“I see. Then please be careful on your way, Tsunashi-san.” The young man waved his hand toward Ryuu, Ryuu wave back
“Ah, once again thank you.” Then he immediately ran toward the outside of the park. He called a taxi and entered the car, he told the driver where to go and sat with relieved breath. When he is inside the car he just realizes something.
He forgot to ask the young man's name and… Did he even give his name to the young man? He swore that he never told the young man his name and there’s no way the young man can see through his disguise just like that.
-At the park-
The young man still sat at the park bench while humming a song, the song that he’s humming is TRIGGER song Diamond Fusion. While humming some bird came to his side, when the young man noticed that there was some bird around him, he patted one of the birds gently with his finger. When he saw the bird nuzzle his finger he stopped humming and giggled.
He remembered his encounter earlier and continued to giggle. “To think that the sexy beast Tsunashi Ryuunosuke was originally so pure… It never passed my thought, the production really did a good job.” The young man then felt his phone buzzing in his jeans pocket. He checked it, and he got a call. The caller id is written as Otou-san , he immediately answered it.
“Hello, Otou-san?”
“Where are you?! It’s almost night and the air will become colder! What will happen if you faint or have an attack?!”
The young man immediately kept his phone far from his ear when he heard his father shout, after his father finished his rant he put the phone back to his ear “… Otou-san calm yourself first. I’m fine really. Just walking around and now resting for a while at the park, and I'm wearing a thick hoodie too.”
“Are you alone?”
“Em… Yes?”
“That’s it, I'll call your brother.”
“WAAAA! OK! OK! I’ll return home immediately! Don’t call him!”
“… You better be… Be careful on your way home ok?”
“Em, i will.”
The young man ended the call by tapping END at his phone screen, he sighed out an exasperated sigh. Really… behind his cold demeanor his father can really be a mother-hen toward both of his sons (especially to him, though it’s more subtle toward his brother, his father such a tsundere), but his brother's protectiveness was more severe than his father.
It would be bad if his brother found out that he went outside the house without anyone escorting him. He will get a house arrest and his father will support it! For the one who usually fought… Both his father and brother will have the same mind if it had something to do with him…
Thinking that it’s no use to only stay there and try to avoid the inevitable. He stood up from where he sat earlier and looking at the big poster of TRIGGER not far from him, he smiled fondly toward the poster then began to walk home. A slight red hair can be seen from behind his hoodie.
-Time Skip-
Some misunderstanding happened before the charity concert. After everything was explained the TRG member exited the room, leaving only Yaotome Sousuke and Re:vale alone. Sousuke sighed in tiredness while Re:vale member chuckle
“Really Yaotome-san, you should tell them from the beginning.” Said Yuki while smiling
“… It’s too embarrassing…” Mutter Sousuke
Both Momo and Yuki laugh when they hear what Sousuke muttered. Their talk is being interrupted by a sound of a knock and the door opening. A young man leaning forward and blinking at them with his innocent eyes, it’s the young man that Ryuu met a few weeks ago.
“Mmm… Did I interrupt anything?” Asked the young man
“Ah! It’s the youngest! He is here~” Said Momo in happiness
“Hello there junior. Your brother just went out a few minutes ago with his friend.” Greeted Yuki
The young man pouted toward Yuki and Momo “I told you both to call me by my name Momo-san,Yuki-san. It will make people confuse me with Onii-chan! And… he’s here? Aw, I just missed them then.”
Sousuke cleared his throat to gain everyone's attention, when the young man paid attention to him he asked “So… what’s wrong? Is there anything you need with me?”
The young man blinked, then he remembered what his business was in the room. He walked to Sousuke’s table and give him a file. Sousuke read the file slowly and nod his head in approval. Sousuke smile and praise the young man
“Same as always. You do your job as perfectly as possible. Thank you for helping Anesagi managing this charity concert.” The young man scratched his back head while smiling in embarrassment
“Hehe, I tried my best. And helping Anesagi-san is good for my training and experience. I learn a lot from her. So did you explain everything to him?”
“Ye—yes, I did.” The young man narrowed his eyes toward Sousuke when Sousuke answered the question while stammering, Sousuke glup in slight fear. “Otou-san… Did you explain everything about the charity concert to Gaku-nii?” the young man repeated his question with a more sharp and slower tone.
Sousuke trying to avert his gaze, key word ‘trying’. In the end Sousuke tell the young man everything that just happen earlier. The young man sighed in tiredness and ruffled his own hair. “This is why both you and Gaku-nii always have a fight over silliest thing. Both of you never explain everything clearly to each other…”
Sousuke sweat dropped when he heard his youngest son lecture him… Who is the parent and the older one actually? Momo laughed and swung his hand around the young man's shoulder. In the past if someone said that Yaotome Sousuke would stay silent while being lectured by his son, he would tell the person to check his eyes. But now… thanks to this young man, the cold man called Yaotome Sousuke changed, he became a better and warmer person.
“AHAHAHA! Ouch my stomach… Never thought I would live to see the day Yaotome Sousuke was lectured by someone younger!” Laugh Momo
“You really change for the better now, Yaotome-san. Even your worker said so. Your youngest child really is something.” Compliment Yuki with teasing smile and gaze toward the young man
Sousuke, noticing Yuki teasing smile and gaze, smiled too with close eyes. “Yes, his existence really is a blessing for me. Thanks to him even my relationship with my ex-wife and Gaku is better now”
“Hoo~ Blessing indeed.” Say Momo with teasing smile
The young man who was the victim of the teasing is already blushing, hard. He glanced at the three, seeing their teasing smile he pouted again and whined “Mou! It’s not fair for the three of you ganging me like that!”
Three of them laugh when they hear the young man whine. The young man was still pouting until the other three laughs ceased. The young man then released himself from Momo's hold and walked to the window.
From the window he can see the city below, earlier when he was on his way toward the building he heard it. Many people talk about how amazing TRG was, and the young man can’t help but feel happy for his elder brother. Seeing his youngest son smile, Sousuke smile too
“What are you thinking now… Riku?”
“Nothing, Otou-san. It's just… TRIGGER, surely for sure… Will be at the top of Japan.”
Hearing his youngest son, Riku, saying that for sure… make Sousuke believe him too. Even Momo and Yuki smile when they hear that. Riku then looked outside the window again, when he looked at the bellow of the building, he could see a speck of his brother's hair and smile in happiness. He really felt so grateful to his Gaku-nii… for he shouldering not only his own dream but the dream Riku can’t accomplish too, not with his condition.
