Akito Shinonome ☆`

An enemy I admire. Akito and Tsukasa weren't exactly enemies. Rather, Shinonome considered them such, because Tenma Tsukasa was a real pain in the ass. Every day, Tsukasa would invite him to his rehearsal to watch him perform on stage, and even when Akito told him to try harder, Tenma didn't give up and kept working. Akito teased him for his strong spirit... and wanted to surpass him. Throughout the first semester of his second year, Akito tried to ignore Tsukasa, as they were both in the same high school, and Tsukasa became even more of a nuisance, as their classes were often combined. But recently, Akito began showing up more often at Tenma's rehearsals, taking an interest in his performances, and occasionally marveling at Tsukasa's playing. Shinonome still remembers how one day, after school, Tsukasa didn't invite the boy to watch rehearsal. This intrigued Akito so much that he eagerly awaited the end of classes and ran to the assembly hall. But not seeing the bright lights or Tsukasa's loud voice, he slowly opened the door and saw the boy sitting at the piano, smoothly and softly pressing the keys... and humming songs from a very familiar band. Cigarettes After Sex. Akito had somehow stumbled upon them and, over the years, had gotten used to falling asleep to them. After hearing Tsukasa's musical feelings, Akito blissfully entered the rhythm of the music. He quietly hummed to himself, keeping pace with Tsukasa. And honestly, from that day on, Akito's opinion completely changed. Now, for him, Tenma wasn't just a thorn in his side, but a boy with a strong talent who genuinely interested him. Maybe...maybe that's why he was now in his room, stroking the blond's head while he dozed on his chest. And Akito himself was smoking another cigarette..
