You strolled through the botanical gardens on a cloudy afternoon, admiring the vibrant colors of the flowers. Unknown to you, a pair of honey-colored eyes watched your every movement with a warm smile. As you wandered around, you heard a rumble in the sky but chose to ignore it, thinking no rain would follow the thunder. Despite multiple warnings from the sky, you remained focused on enjoying the beauty of the garden.

In a blink of an eye, water poured down from the clouds without mercy. The consequence of your overconfidence had you paralyzed, and by the time you snapped out of shock, you were drenched head to toe. Quickly scanning the area, you bolted for the nearest shade. For a while, you stood there with your arms wrapped around your shaking body. You noticed movement from your peripheral vision and saw a man smiling at you.

His flawless tan skin, silky locks, and alluring gaze made your heart race out of control - attractive was an understatement to describe him. Then, you remembered the state you were in. Disheveled hair stuck to your face, makeup running, and clothes glued to your body, and felt embarrassed. You averted your gaze and screamed internally. Out of all the times, you could have met an attractive man, why now?

He took note of your movement and chuckled to himself. The tall man rose to his feet and casually walked into the rain without a second thought. His face turned up to the sky with a peaceful expression, and he closed his eyes, letting the cool drops wash over him. He breathed in the scent of the rain and listened to the soothing sound of the drops hitting the environment around him. Once drenched to the core, he turned his head to you and smiled warmly before walking towards the flower garden. As if drawn by his charm, you blankly followed him.

"My dear, there is nothing to be embarrassed about," his sweet voice tickled your ears. "You still look beautiful."

Your cheeks turned a shade of pink as you felt a rush of warmth through your body. He chuckled in response and slightly bowed while holding his hand out to you, "My name is Qu. Would you like me to dance with you?"

Nodding, you slid your hand into his soft, large one, and he gently kissed the back of your hand. "I would love to."

You and Qu were completely lost in the moment, dancing in the rain with abandon. Your laughter echoed through the surrounding flowers as you spun and twirled together. It was the start of an unexpected friendship that would eventually bloom into love.

Just a small thought, but I find it very interesting that at least 3 out of 5 team C members find their Halloween roles difficult/opposite of them.

Qu mentions in the main event story that his role is difficult for him to act.

Mokuren mentions in his card story that Romuald is the opposite of him and Moku wouldn't be so indecisive and foolish.

Zakuro finds his role difficult because he is a storyteller, an old, experienced man and Zakuro himself doesn't have any memories and calls himself a blank canvas basically since there is not much experience to speak of.

I remember it was said that, previously, roles always fit the members, so I find it interesting that in this story the cast finds it difficult to act/feels their character is unfit for them. However, I haven't caught up the main story yet so maybe there's an explanation somewhere c":

Showing Affection

Summary: How do you show someone who doesn't talk about themselves very much? Watch, listen, and jump at opportunities when they arise.

Notes: I'm still not good at writing summaries even though I've been writing for years! This was inspired by the lovely Heb over on a discord we're part of. Enjoy!

Pairing: Platonic Qu x MC

The only time when receiving an expected package is more exciting, is when it is for someone you greatly admire and have deep feelings for. So, when I saw the notification on my phone that a package had been delivered to the office of the apartment building I live in, I quickly dressed and hurried down a hand full of floors to pick it up before leaving for Starless. 

It wasn't any special occasion like a birthday or an anniversary - Qu had just mentioned interest in a new color pallet from his favorite makeup manufacturer and, before I realized it, it was ordered and on its way to my home.

"It's because he's been such a good friend to me since I came to Starless," I told myself, clutching the thin package close to my chest.Not because I'm hoping to catch his attention because I've grown to have deep feelings for him.

I scoffed at myself. It's bad when I don't even believe what I'm telling myself. 

With a shake of my head, I headed to the train station to go to, what had quickly become, my second home.

Inside the shop, I received many greetings - some joyful, some reluctant - all seemingly genuine. However, the one person I was hoping to see the most, was suspiciously missing. As I looked around for the shining white head of the one I adored, Mokuren and Zakuro walked past and saw me searching for their teammate.

"Qu is resting in the lounge right now." Mokuren explained, with no small amount of disapproval in their tone. That told me that Qu wasn't part of Team C's training today, which caused no small amount of worry to build in my chest.

"No, he was feeling sluggish, so when he kept stumbling on dancing sets he knew, Mokuren sent him away. I did everything I could not to laugh." A smug curl formed on Zakuro's lips at his comment. Mokuren gently slapped their teammate with the back of their hand and rolled their maroon eyes at Zakuro's antics.

I just shook my head, thanked them and left to go to where other cast members took their break behind the stage. I didn't even want to give thought to the fact that Mokuren knew who it was I was looking for and what it meant.

Casting my gaze around, I found Qu sitting on a plush couch, both legs tucked up under him as he leaned against the armrest while slowly paging through a magazine. I couldn't put my finger on it, but something felt off in the way he propped his cheek up with his closed fist as he looked down at the periodical with disinterest. I could also see that his winter jacket was wrapped around him tightly as if he was fighting off a chill that the building didn't seem to have with anyone else.

Concern for his health drove me to his side and I sat on the edge of the couch, in front of his curled legs. I could feel his eyes on me from the moment I got close until I had sat down, setting the package down next to me. "Qu? Are you feeling okay?"

"I'm fine!" He gave me one of his beatific smiles that always caused my heart to flutter, but when I saw it didn't meet his golden gaze, I couldn't return it. 

"It doesn't feel like it to me. Mokuren and Zakuro said you were struggling during practice, so they kicked you out. What's going on?" I frowned. I held out the back of my hand up towards his forehead, asking for silent permission to check his temperature. With a nod of approval from him, I laid it on his forehead and felt that it was quite warm. "Qu! You have a fever, you shouldn't be here. You should be in bed resting!" "No, I couldn't miss today.  It's one of the final practices before a performance.  I couldn't afford to miss it."

I looked at Qu with different eyes. I could see slight lines of exhaustion under his eyes, the golden glow that usually was there in his gaze, was dulled slightly.  His hair didn't have quite the shine it usually did, nor did it look as kept. He didn't feel good at all and was pushing himself.

"Qu, Mokuren has already made you rest by removing you from the training session. You need to go home and rest!"

He let out a disappointed sigh. "I know, but I just need to take some medication and I'll be fine."

I watched him give me a soft smile and I reached down to pick up the hand holding his magazine, giving it a little squeeze. "I still would like for you to take care of yourself, Qu." I paused to weigh my next words. "Your health is important to me."

Before he could respond, however, I turned away and picked up the small box that I had brought with me and handed it to him. His eyes grew wide and I noticed some life come back to them as he looked at what I was handing to him. "What's this?"

"A present."

"What is it for?"

"Do you have to have a reason to give a friend a gift?"

With that, I left him there with the box in his graceful hands to go to the kitchen, hoping that Kongou was in there planning the meals for tonight. Luckily, he was and he helped me put some warm broth together in a mug to take to Qu. 

When I got back to where Qu was lounging, I found him looking at the makeup pallet and stroking the cover of the case, deep in thought. "Do you like it?"

His head shot up towards me at the sound of my voice. I clutched the mug of broth tight as I awaited his words. When he gave me a smile that was almost back to his usual, familiar smile. 

It felt as if a weight had lifted from my chest at the sight and I exhaled before sitting down next to him to hand the cup to him. He took the proffered cup, took a sip and sighed happily. Qu set the cup on his leg, supporting with his hand, to look at the makeup in the other.  "How did you even get it so fast? It just came out the other day."

I could tell him that I had an alert on it because it was something he wanted and I wanted to give him something for no reason, but I didn't want to come off as creepy. So, I just shrugged as if it was no big deal and said, "Right place, right time."

Qu side-eyed me before shrugging himself and looking back down at the gift with a soft smile. "Well, regardless of how it happened, I appreciate what you've given me. I will find a way to make it up to you, no matter what you say."

I was about to say he didn't need to do that but stopped when he showed determination. "Very well.  I look forward to it!"

Chapter 7

Qu Hey, Gui. Do you know where Mizuki ran off to? He was supposed to have a shift today, but I haven't seen him at all. Gui Mizuki went out. Qu Outisde? Well, that's news to me. Gui 2 hours ago. Qu ...Oh my, oh my. My, it's like a recurring disease, isn't it?

Gui Mizuki is a disease? Qu Ah, sorry. It isn't a disease, but more like a habit of slacking off.

Gui A habit of slacking off. Qu Well, we're short staffed today, so I have no choice but to bring him back. Do you know where Mizuki headed off to? Gui I know. Do you want me to show you the way? Qu Please. It's almost time for opening, so let's hurry. Mizuki ... Gui Mizuki. Mizuki Ha? Geh. Qu is here too... Qu Mizuki, today you're hall staff. You need to come back. Mizuki ...It's not like there's a difference if I'm not there, ain't it? Gui, don't bring Qu here. Gui Qu was looking for Mizuki. Mizuki ...Tch. Qu I have no idea why you went here, but right now, we need to get back. The store won't run properly without you. Mizuki (sighs) Gui Mizuki is waiting for someone. Mizuki I ain't waiting for shit. I'm goin' with 'ya already. I just don't like being in Starless right now. I'd rather be here right now. Qu ...If I ask you right now why, will you tell me the reason? Mizuki ...Shut it, I don't need it. I'll come back with 'ya already, so just shut it. Go on ahead. Qu Alright, we'll go on ahead. Let's go, Gui. Gui Mhm. Understood. Qu Mizuki, we'll wait for you at Starless, alright? Mizuki ...

Chapter 8

Zakuro My, my. A spectacle of flowers in full bloom. This time, the performance is outstanding as well. It's difficult to tell which of the two are better. Yoshino I agree. It seems people who are fans of the playwright are coming to visit as well. It's so great to see many new customers coming in. Zakuro Yes, indeed. Kei Zakuro and Yoshino. What are you doing here? Yoshino I'm here to pick up any extra flyers. But it seems like Un'ei-kun isn't here. Kei If it's Un'ei-kun, he's outside right now. The flyers are stored inside the cardboard box on the shelf. Yoshino Thank you. Zakuro Kei, if I may, I have a question for you? For now, "Hanahodoku" and "Hirahirari" won't be performed, yes? Kei The performance this time was a special request from a client. As long as the playwright's fans are coming, we need to keep the program simple. Zakuro I see, I see. However, us singers also wish to sing our songs to all the new fans. You feel the same way, don't you, Yoshino? Yoshino Mhmm...I understand the feeling, but I can understand Kei's reasoning as well. It'll be a lie if I said I don't want to perform, but this performance isn't the place for it right now. Zakuro Is that so? But since it's a Hanami performance, wouldn't it be better if a variety of flowers were in bloom? Kei This time, the request was made because Akira and Rindou stood out in the eyes of the playwright. In a way, you can say they won that right to perform. It's not easy to be able to reach that point. Zakuro Well, now that you saw that, you surely are correct. Well then, in order to protect my pride as a singer, I'll have to work extra hard during my lessons. Let's go on then, Yoshino. Yoshino ...Zakuro. I have to be out at the hall today, you know? Zakuro Oya oya? Something like that happened? Kei A path won't open for those who aren't on the move, Zakuro. Yoshino And there you have it. Let's get back to work, okay? Zakuro It's only natural for human beings to have an endless amount of hope. However, for now it seems there is an end of the line.

Chapter 9

Nekome Oya~ This year's Hanami is really sophisticated~ Sin Are you able to distinguish the colors of the wind that blows in hell? Nekome I don't wanna~ After all, I have feelings and sympathy too, ya'know? Kokuyo Aren't they just the same thing? Nekome Oh? Kokuyo, what are you doing here? Isn't the performance soon? Kokuyo I just came to see how the audience was doing. I'll going back soon. It looks like the guy who comes back without any warning has no idea how to read the room. Nekome I see. So basically, I've become the straight man[1], haven't I? I guess it's only right. But with the return of the autumn breeze, so too will the whale's bones be revived. How was it? Do you feel the atmosphere? Sin It seems the key is for the wrong door. Nekome It's pretty rare to find someone who has the same sense as you do. Kokuyo Stop talking about such nonsense already. If you really want to chatter more than work, I'd be more than happy to go out with you. However, I decide the flow of the convo, go it? Nekome Uwah~ That's a real nasty expression ya got there. I gotta knock on some wood to prevent any bad luck~[2] Sin Kokuyo. Did you want to find out why he disappeared? Kokuyo Not really. It's an unspoken rule here at the shop to not dig in to anyone's past. He's still the same old plain guy from the past, that much hasn't changed. If he wasn't to talk about it, he can go ahead and blabber, but if he doesn't want anything to be said, he'll do anything to avoid it. Sin ...Shouldn't you take back the ghost's key? Kokuyo It's whatever. But, if he keeps running away like that, he'll eventually get caught. I've seen a lot of stories where they manage to get by normally, but in the end eventually get caught in the act. Sin Is it the shadow of a bird or a beast that falls into the night? It's hard to distinguish. Kokuyo ...Hm.

[1]: He says Tsukkomi, and with those unfamiliar with that, it's the wiser half of the stupid and straight man combo that's a popular comedy trend (esp in Japan) [2]: He says "Kuwabara kuwabara," which is a saying to not get hit by lightning but I just used the English equivalent.

QU

[shonpota]

W Qu like mmm what if

[shonpota]

So the popping bubble prize is a story?? This is so wholesome.

Yakou is doing promotion by candid shooting of summer team on the beach, and Heath is the photographer?? (❁´◡`❁) Nekome is trying to skip the shooting, everyone sort of come late. When it is theur turn to be photographed, they are very awkward ʕ´•ᴥ•`ʔ Yakou is asking everyone to play on the beach instead. Then Mizuki saw a sea glass shining on the beach, Heath and Yakou inspect it closely, then Qu decided to collect them in the bottle, then suddenly all of them try to compete to give it to Saki. Mizuki got pissed why everyone suddenly want the same thing 😂 then Yakou said that Saki could take it as a souvenir, all while Heath is taking pictures.

[shonpota]

👊👊👊👊

Qu and Kokuyou soul swap will be like on crack tbh

Qu's Valentine

It's a few months late, but I decided that where this ended was a good place hehe. If there's enough interest, I'll write out the surprise MC had in store!

Pairing: Qu x Reader Rating: E - for implied activities.

The sound of the buzzer echoes around the backstage, loud and like nails on a chalkboard, signaling the performers that it was time to set up for their performance.

Starless was holding a Valentines event where teams W, C, and K performed their songs for the waiting young men and women in the dining area. So far, it had been met with great celebration - Team W had just finished their song with Akira receiving loud cries of approval and shouts of love from the audience. Team K had opened the night with the premier of their two songs. In between each set, there was a short break to allow the cast members not performing to set up for the next team.

I watched Qu, dressed in his red and voluminous costume, as he approached me with a soft smile. A matching smile formed on my own lips even after he paused in front of me to bend down and place a lingering kiss there. “Wish me luck?”

“You don’t need luck, Qu. You’ll do beautifully. You always do!”

Qu’s smile widened slightly and he cupped my cheek with tenderness. “Thank you, dear heart.”

I couldn’t help but lean into his hand for a moment before he was pulling away and walking confidently towards the stage to set up for “Into Me”.

As quietly as I could, I slipped from backstage to stand off to one side of the dining area in the dark, just in time to watch them start.

The song was sensual and drew the viewer in, making it almost impossible to turn away from the performer’s fluid movements with and around Zakuro, who moved about the stage as if being moved about on a lazy river. But my eyes were locked onto one dancer in particular, his bright white hair and golden eyes flashing in the flashing lights.

Qu moved as if in a trance, his arms and hands imitating a filmy curtain on a breeze from an open window, and he had such a soft smile, I almost felt jealous that the house was packed and others were blessed by its existence.

I scoffed at myself for such a thought. Almost? I did feel jealousy that others saw him like this, men and women alike. However, I also felt pride because, of all the people in the world, he chose me as his lover.

When I focused on him again after getting lost in thought, it was just in time to notice he was staring at me while performing and I felt my cheeks flush and the corners of my lips curl up. I could also feel heat bubbling up from within as I watched his lithe body move with the music and Zakuro’s singing - I couldn’t help it. Something about watching him move so smoothly did things to me that only added to my already great attraction to him..

It was time to go. I knew if I stayed any longer, I could very well see myself pulling him along behind me to go find a closet somewhere in the back.

It had certainly happened before.

Besides, I had plans back at his apartment that I had to work on and I knew that it would still be a few hours before he would be done here at the shop. I couldn’t let myself get distracted now.

With the last note echoing around the large open room, the crowd erupted in cheers with pen lights in various Team C colors waving with excitement. I took the opportunity to sneak back to where I had last seen my boyfriend so I could meet him as he came off the stage. I quickly grabbed a soft towel from the pile next to the stage and waited, bouncing on the balls of my feet.

“That was amazing! You all looked great!” I clapped my hands excitedly as the team passed, following Mokuren towards the locker rooms.

“Of course we did.” Mokuren said with great confidence, waving their hand as if it was a flower floating on the wind, smirking down at me. They pat my head gently when they walked past, followed by Zakuro.

The singer smirked at you, “I almost mistook you for a puppy, __________! Do try to keep your eyes in your head next time you watch from the crowd - there were a few jealous ladies watching you.” Of course, I didn’t miss the concern laced in his words and I was about to stick my tongue out at him when Kasumi and Hari walked past, chuckling at my antics with the singer.

I watched the four of them turn the corner towards the locker room, a small smile on my face as I shook your head, unable to stay mad at Zakuro.

“I’m a little jealous, seeing you smiling like that at my teammates,” a voice as soft as a cloud whispered into my ear as the person wrapped his arms around my waist from behind. My body tensed in surprise automatically, but instantly relaxed when my brain registered the familiar voice and arms around me.

I turned around to face him in his arms and raised the towel in my hand to gently pat at his face, doing my best not to ruin his makeup. “Don’t be jealous - you know I only have eyes for you.” I playfully press a peck on his lips and pull back to see his eyes widened slightly in surprise. That look quickly turned back into an affectionate smile I both was intimate with and loved.

“I do. So, now that our show is done, would you like to go somewhere for whatever is left of Valentines day?”

My heart pounded and warmed. I loved that he was always trying to think of ways we could spend time together. Occasionally they were random, but mostly they were planned out and thoughtful. I was betting this was the former and wanted to say ‘yes’ because I always wanted to be with Qu, but resisted.

With a shake of my head, I placed both of my hands on his chest, feeling his body heat radiating through the red and brown cloth. “As much as I would like to, you still have a couple more hours of your shift left and I was planning something at your apartment and I wanted it to be a surprise. I just wanted to congratulate you on a successful performance before running to your apartment.”

Qu looked upset by that for a moment, but put on a smile. I knew he did it for me, but I hoped that it would be well worth the wait in the end.

[that-otome-potato]

Qu brainrot mode still active!

First time I can remember putting so much effort into a background to be honest.

Let me know what you think!!
