twelve: uphill?

masterlist • previous • next

“V,” Samu said, trying to get your attention, the two of you were taking a short break from running lines, “Venus.”

“Yeah?”

“Don’t feel at all pressured ta tell me since I know ya don’t owe me anythin’ but are you okay? You seemed a bit off this past week. Ya looked stressed out.”

“Sorry I didn’t know it was that noticeable.”

“It wasn’t noticeable at all I just…noticed. I guess.”

“Chiba got pissed at me again for forgetting lines and stuff like that. I’ve been buried in my script this whole week.”

“Ya haven’t been overworkin’ yerself have ya?”

“Nah I just went over the script”

“Fer how long?”

“….Okay so maybe I did overwork myself. But so do you. Don’t think I haven’t noticed. You read your script whenever you have free time, as long as you’re not eating.”

“I guess so…We can work on it together then, getting better at not overworkin’ ourselves.”

“Sounds like a plan Samu.” you pull him in for a hug ,“Thanks for checking in on me.”

“Anytime.”

The hug lingered a few minutes longer than what you would usually take to hug a friend. Neither one of you really wanted to let go. It just felt so safe, warm, right.

As if you were made to hold each other, molded to each other’s body. It was perfe—

It was too much.

Too much for you who swore never to be in a romantic relationship with anyone you’re in a show with much less your co-star.

Sure it was just a hug but what if it escalates?

What if you fall for him? What if he falls for you? Then the world will know and pick apart your relationship. Causing it to crumble right in front of you.

You’re just a bit confused. Yeah. That’s it. Just too caught up on your own character. Ceres’s love for Leon blurring out between you and whatever you felt for Samu.

It’s nothing.

It’ll fizzle out.

You know you’re overreacting. You know it was just a hug. But you also wish it was more than a hug between friends. You wish you could hold him like that every day. And that scared you.

Slowly letting go of Samu, you thanked him again and told him you had to head home. You ignore the dizziness you got at the light smell of his cologne. You ignore the chill you feel from the loss of his body heat. You ignore how reluctant you were to let him out of your embrace. It was getting late. And you needed whatever you felt for him to stop. As soon as possible. You were falling too fast. It was an issue.

After what happened with your ex you promised yourself that you just don’t want to get attached to any co-star in a romantic way. At the end of the day it’s just pr shit and you didn’t need anymore issues. You felt no need to put yourself in harms way. Sure you didn’t think Samu would ever hurt you in that way. Hell, you don’t even think he even holds any romantic feelings towards you. But you didn’t think he would either.

Him with the stolen kisses in his trailer. Him with his quiet whispers in between scenes. Him with his dirty blonde hair and deep blue eyes. Him with his quiet nature. His soft smile. His gentle voice.

His screaming. His excuses. His lies. His last words to you.

“I never loved you in the first place.”

Him.

Naoyasu Kuguri.

your first love. first everything.

And if you let out a few tears that night in bed? No one needed to know.

notes

• you gave yourself a reality check

• you have a bad tendency to overthink

“V.”

You look at him smiling, the bags under your eyes that are usually hidden by makeup revealed after you washed it all off.

“Hey Samu, look I can—”

“Can’t make it to dinner again?”

You laugh ,“Yeah. I have to work on my lines. I’ve been too distracted lately.”

“We can work on them together?”

“If you don’t mind?”

“I don’t mind at all. I’m offerin’. Come over to our place after filming?”

“I really need to work on my lines so—”

“We will. Promise.”

“I know but I need to stay focused. Seriously.”

“I’ll tell the others not to bother you. I can convince them to run lines with us”

You take a moment to think about if you really should go. “Okay fine. I’ll go.”

Samu smiles at you. “I’ll cook dinner tonight. Any requests?”

“Anything you want Samu.”

“Great.”

“I’ll head home first and wash up then I’ll meet you for dinner. Okay?”

“Sounds good.”

“Thank you Samu.”

“Of course.”

—

“No Venus again?” Rintarō asks looking at Osamu. “He’s been so sulky lately.”

“I have not been sulky.” Osamu groaned.

“Yer right Sunarin he has been sulky. Aw ya miss yer girlfriend.”

“We ain’t datin’. She’s a friend.”

“Oh! Okay. Sure.”

“She’s comin’ over today anyways.”

“Oh so that’s why yer cookin’ dinner tonight.”

“Shut yer trap Tsumu…She’s been off lately. So we’re gonna run lines over dinner. That’s all.”

“AW YER WORRIED BOUT ‘ER”

“SHUT UP TSUMU.”

*the doorbell rings*

“Go get yer girlfriend at the door Samu.” Atsumu teased. Sunarin snickering, pretending to look at his phone.

He opens the door.

“Hi Samu.”

“Hey Venus.”

“Is it just us?” You ask, walking in, sitting down to take off your shoes.

“Unfortunately not. Tsumu and Rin are here.” Samu says holding a hand out to help you up.

You smile and take it, “Do they wanna run lines with us?”

“You can ask ‘em. But let’s eat dinner first.”

“Oh right you cooked! What did you make?” You say, trying to focus on anything other than the fact that you two are still holding hands. For fucks sake you guys have done worse than holding hands on camera. (they kissed you dirty minded people)

“ [favorite food], hope you like it.”

“I love that so much, you must’ve read my mind. I haven’t had it in so long.”

No Venus he just spent hours searching up what your favorite food was on the internet so that he could surprise you. Platonically of course.

“Hi Zumi!” Atsumu says, his eyes focused on his brother’s hand interlocked with yours. The golden haired boy looked at his brother with a knowing smirk.

“Hi Tsumie! Hey Rin! Are you two running lines with us?”

“Oh no. We wouldn’t want to intrude.” Rin said, leaning his head on his hand.

“You wouldn’t be trust me.” Samu smiled tightly.

Rintarō hummed, “Oh I’m not so sure. V. ” Rin started, you turned to look at him, “What scenes are you running?”

“The ones needed for tomorrow.”

“Oh so the kissing scene.” He smiled at Samu, who was now red.

“Yeah amongst others.” You nod ,“Why?”

“Ah nothing. You two have fun.” Rintarō winked at Samu who looked ready to kill the green eyed boy, his grip on your hand tightened slightly.

“We’re gonna eat first actually.” You say smiling. “Then we’ll run lines.”

“Okay. Enjoy the food, Samu’s a great chef. I’ll join you two for a bit, I have some scenes with you I need to go through a few more times. It’d be nice to have something to react to.”

“Got it! See you later.”

around a month later

top two photos are you and samu, the bottom left is you and tsumu and the bottom right is you and rin.

made this one bigger cuz the camera part was cut off 😭😭😭

You sigh, closing your phone and opening up your script. Rereading, taking notes in the margins, speaking it aloud, rereading again and again and again and again, till the words start to blend and you can’t read anymore.

[definitelynotciara]

nine: debrief me now

masterlist • previous • next

You get home after dinner, still giddy from the amount of fun you had. Smiling, you unlock the door to your house.

Tooru looked over at you from the couch when you walked into the living room. He looked like a mom about to lecture their kids about being home late.

“[name]-chan.”

“Hey Tooru!”

“How was dinner?”

“Great actually. I gave Atsumu a piece of sushi filled with wasabi, Samu and I couldn’t stop laughing. Why?”

“No just wondering…”

“Wondering what?”

“Mmm. Nothing!”

“No—No cuz now I’m curious Tooru.”

“Is there something you wanna tell me?” Tooru asks, crossing his legs and peering up at you from his glasses.

“No there isn’—”

Tooru smiled mischieviously, “Anyone you like?”

“Tooru what are you talking about?”

“Oh right you’re a dense brick!”

“Excuse me?”

“Okay goodnight!”

“Tooru—What? Where are you—”

“Oh right—I’m dating your brother.”

“I- I’m actually not surprised by that. It’s about time. But what were you talking about earlier?”

“Have a good night [name]-chan”

“Stop changing the subject Tooru.” you warn, inching closer to the brunette who started to squeal, running away from you as you started to chase him.

“IWA-CHAN HELP.”

You gave up chasing Tooru once he locked himself in his room. Hearing your ringtone, you picked up your phone.

“Hey Zumi!”

“Tsumu what’s up?”

“What di’dya talk ‘bout?”

“Nothing much. He was being weirdly secretive about it.”

“Ah okay great. Well then, g’night!”

“Atsumu what the hell.”

—

A few minutes later you showered, getting off all that excess makeup from work was amazing. Relaxing, you settled into bed. You were still too overjoyed from the day’s events, to the point that you couldn’t sleep.

*click*

“Hey.”

“Hey.”

“I haven’t seen ya in so long.” Samu says, snickering. His voice was huskier, filled with exhaustion and his silver hair was messier than usual. He looked so—

You laugh, shaking your head, trying to rid your thoughts of how pretty Samu looked, “I know. It’s been agesss.”

“Any part you want to work on?” He asked, the moonlight shining on him from his sunroof in a way that made him look so content, so ethereal.

You tear your eyes away and hum, scanning through your script. “The part where Leon tells Ceres that he thinks Liam is related to him. Where she yell at Leon for keeping secrets from her since they’re so close. I think I need more practice with how I want her to sound?”

“I need to work on that part too I keep mixing up the lines and ad-libbing.”

“Oh fuck don’t ad-lib, Chiba will glare at you the whole day.”

“You sound like yer speakin’ from experience?”

“I am.” you groan. “She kept glaring at me, as if she was daring me to ad-lib again.”

He laughed, loudly, freely, “I ain’t jealous of ya in the slightest.”

“I know right?” you join in his laughter. It was too contagious.

“When was this?”

“Few days ago, you were filming some stuff with Tsumu.”

“Ohhh.”

“Anyways, wanna get started? I just have to go downstairs, my room is too close to Tooru’s”

“Got it.”

You silently go down the stairs into what you deem to be your acting room. You film all of your self tapes here and it’s soundproofed so you don’t need to worry about waking anyone up.

“Okay, I’m ready when you are.”

—

“Leon.”

“Ceres.”

“I think you know what I’m about to ask you.”

“…”

“What are you keeping from me? Silver, we have been friends, best friends, since we were little.”

“I know.”

“No one understands me like you do. No one knows me like you do. I tell you everything. Why are you keeping something this important from me. I just don’t understand! Please explain to me why you have to keep—line please.” you laugh, breaking character

“Please explain to me why you have to keep lying about everything that matters.” He read off your line.

“Thanks Samu.”

“From the top? Or?”

“Let’s go from ‘I know.’ I think that’s fine.”

“Okay great.”

—

“I know.”

“No one understands me like you do. No one knows me like you do. I tell you everything. Why are you keeping something this important from me? I just don’t understand! Please explain to me why you have to keep lying about everything that matters.”

“For you, Ceres.”

“…What?”

“I do it for you. I—”

“….What are you saying, Leon?”

“If you find out about this then you won’t be safe.”

“I assure you that I can decide for myself what I will and will not be a part of. I can take care of myself Leon. You of all peop—”

“I love you.”

“…….oh.”

“I’m sorry Ceres I should—”

“I love you too. But if it’s this important, I want to be able to help you. I don’t want to see you suffering through this alone. I love you too, Silver.”

—

“And then we kiss.” you laugh.

“That was amazin’.”

“I think that was my best run through of that scene.”

“Same ‘ere.”

“One more run through? Then I’ll see you tomorrow.”

“Am I givin’ you a ride?”

“Only if you kick Tsumu out of the front seat so I can ride shotgun.”

“Of course.”

Even though you did stop rehearsing after that last run through, you continued to call for at least another hour. It felt easy, as if he’s been your friend for forever.

Besides, it’s just a harmless little crush. What could go wrong?

notes pls read these notes cuz one of them is bolded and very important to the plot 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

• Atsumu and Tooru talked because Atsumu knew how close you were with Tooru and assumed that he would know if you liked Osamu or not

• imagine the shock on Tooru’s face when he gets a text message from one Miya Atsumu

• you are confused

• you don’t date on set. tried it once. never again. you promised yourself.

• it was a huge scandal when people found out you dated your co-star last time. It was a happy relationship but then you two became too overwhelmed with how much people tried to butt into your relationship. The stress “caused him to cheat on you” Then you broke up. (He broke up with you on live television) this was a few years ago and you’re kind of (not really) over it. (The internet was on your side. But also everyone knew your business and it was eating up at you.

• you have major trust issues (maybe irl too idk 🤷🏻‍♀️)

• you changes samu’s name in your contacts from miya osamu—> samu and u gave him a pfp from one of the times you had dinner with the twins and rin.

this is the new pfp^^

[definitelynotciara]

eight: japanese takeout

masterlist • previous • next

a couple of weeks later

“Dinner?” Osamu said, turning to you.

“Sure!” you said. Dinner with the twins and Rin became a regular occurance and you loved it. You were all in the mood for Japanese food but the place nearby was pickup only. So you all suited up and got your food under the usual alias Jack Meholf.

Immature?

Maybe.

But you guys didn’t care.

You ran in and picked up the food, trying not to laugh as the employee asked for the name your order was under. The boys waited outside, Rin snickering and taking a video of you successfully getting the food.

You all go into Osamu’s car, you claiming shotgun before anyone else could so that you can play the music you want to.

You get dinner at theirs so often that in the mornings you usually drive to the twin’s place (which is much closer than set) and leave your car there and they give you a ride. Not driving in the mornings is amazing and you nap on the way there. The more sleep the better even though the makeup station is great at getting rid of (or adding) eye bags.

You reach your destination and open the door, picking up a bag of food.

“Let me.” Osamu says, holding out his hand and gesturing towards the food.

“No it’s fine Osamu I can handle it.” which you could, it really wasn’t that heavy.

“Yer a guest I can’t letcha do the heavy liftin’.”

“It’s not heavy Osamu.”

“Just hand over the bag.”

“Fine.” you laugh, giving him the bag. “Thank you.”

“Anytime.” he grinned, proud that he was able to coax you into giving him the food. “You can call me Samu by the way.”

“Okay Samu.” you smiled.

How naive you were.

Samu ran inside as fast as he could, with your food in his hands, already taking it out to eat. You were chasing him down. The two of you were hysterically laughing. Rin and Tsumu followed close behind, Rin taking a video and Tsumu running after Samu to steal food.

A few minutes later, everyone was settled inside in the dining room. You were sitting next to Samu sharing each other’s food.

“That’s not fair ya never share with me Samu.” Atsumu said.

“Here Tsumu.” You said sweetly, handing him a piece of your sushi.

“Aw thanks Zumi. See? She’s so nice. Unlike you, ya jerk.” Atsumu said, popping the sushi into his mouth. “WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS? WHYS IT SPICY?”

“I replaced the avocado with wasabi, just for you.” you laughed loudly. “Rin you got that right?”

“Obviously. Just sent it to you.”

“Amazing thanks.”

“YOU GUYS SUCK.”

You kept laughing to the point that you fell out of your seat slightly, Osamu catching you. Falling from your seat only caused the two of you to laugh even harder. So you just stayed there, laughing so hard your stomach started to hurt. After a few minutes the laughter had died down and you realized the situation you were in. Hurriedly, but not too fast for it to be awkward, you sat up and continued eating your dinner.

Soon enough conversation picked back up. The four of you talking about your long day of filming, reminiscing about it even though it was so recent. At some point, maybe around an hour later, you said your goodbyes and went home.

notes:

• rin and tsumu now believe you have a crush on samu

[definitelynotciara]

seven: on the sidelines

masterlist • previous • next

The scene is set, two babies together in a crib next to each other, they’re in the hospital. Athena takes one child and Akira takes the other. They pass each other but don’t recognize the other, too focused on the child in their arms.

the bright flourescent lights flicker slightly to make the scene even more eerie and dramatic.

Kiyoko and Oikawa, being great actors, only needed around 4 takes for this scene but they took a fifth take just in case. Filming was going smoothly.

They called the two kids on set for the next scene, who were identical twins. Osamu and Atsumu greeted them then went over to you, who had pulled over a few chairs to watch.

“Hey Zumi!” Atsumu said. He’s the only one who calls you by that nickname.

When you first met him on the set of another movie you did with him, you found the nickname annoying but honestly, its endearing now.

It reminds you of Tooru calling your brother Iwa-chan. But you think that if told Atsumu he held any resemblance to Tooru he’d combust.

“Hi Venus.” Osamu said with a polite smile. You two have gotten closer since getting drunk and belting your hearts out to ‘I gotta go my own way’ from HSM2 but you didn’t know if you could call him by his nickname yet so you just settled for saying hello back to him.

“You two know the child actors?” you asked incredulously, passing Osamu your bag of chips.

He popped a chip into his mouth, “They played younger versions of us in the last movie Tsumu and I had togeth’r. Ain’t they cute?”

“They’re adorable.” you nodded in agreement, smiling.

They worked with the child actors for most of the day, using makeup to make them look younger, then older. They were filming a montage of the two of them living out their lives in the opposing groups. It was impressive.

They finally got up to the part of the montage where the twins were older and ended for the day.

The next day they filmed more of the twins at their present age.

Liam, Atsumu’s character, was charismatic and became a Lieutenant. His character was known for being cunning and was great at negotiation and manipulation.

Leon, Osamu’s character, was a trusted enforcer, he was ruthless and strategic.

—

the next day (and then some cuz this took a week and a half to film)

In this scene, the entire cast was in it, extras and leads alike. The two clans had come together for a very high stakes arms deal. Athena and Akira at the forefront of it.

Akira, pissed because he felt as though he was getting ripped off, canceled the deal.

Athena felt as though her dignity was on the line and hated that Akira was questioning her.

Liam and Leon locked eyes for the first time in years, their resemblance was uncanny. They look at each other with a sense of familiarity. Ceres, concerned for Leon, her best friend, put a hand on his shoulder and asked him what was wrong. He brushed it off and said it was nothing. Ceres followed his gaze to Liam and made a joke that Liam looked a lot like Leon. But Leon didn’t answer, still too confused as too what was going on.

Then the gunshots fired. The deal had gone terribly wrong and there was a major shootout, many background characters dying.

“That’s it for today everyone great job!.” Chiba said, and everyone was dismissed.

we all got out of our hair and makeup then took off our costumes. going back into our normal people disguises in hopes that we wont be too noticable.

the twins came up to me and asked if i wanted to get food with them.

and i said yes

notes:

•chiba in my mind is as famous as steven speilberg as far as directors go

six: hair and makeup

masterlist • previous • next

“Honestly,” our director, Chiba Airi started to speak, “You guys are such a famous cast our pilot is just gonna be our first episode. I mean it’s so easy to draw in an audience because of you all.” She said, laughing. “Thanks for making my job easier.” as if she isn’t a famous director with some of the best movies made under her watchful eye.

“If you checked your schedule, you’ll see when you’ll be needed for filming. Please come on time. We only need a few of the leads right now, Athena, that’s you Kiyoko, and Akira, Oikawa. I believe just we’ll start off with the younger versions of the twins and then continue from there. But first, everyone go to hair and makeup, then costumes. Make it quick everyone there’s a lot to do today.”

So I walked over with Kiyoko and Yachi to get into our hair and makeup. The amount of sfx was insane. I was given a scar running down my eye, which now had a contact lens on it to make me seem half blind. My outfit was a baggy white button up with black slacks and a harness. They gave me a fake tattoo that looked like a moon on my back. (Free reign for what you want to do with your hair)

Yachi was given small double buns, they said it was to represent her character being seemingly innocent. Her character wore a red button up with a black vest and black pleated skirt. She has a sun tattoo on her neck to represent Soleil.

Kiyoko, being the leader of Lune had her hair half up and half down, in an elegant fashion (its a wig). She took the longest to get ready. (idrk how to explain her hair so heres a pic taken off of pinterest) Kiyoko’s outfit was a silver kimono and her makeup was geisha inspired. She had the same fake tattoo I did on her hand.

(i love kiyoko)

After we were done with hair and makeup, and we got into our costumes. I left the room and walked over to the boys, who looked relaxed on the couches. (They probably finished ages ago.)

Tooru had a very expensive black suit and turtleneck on (he said it came from his closet and he had a spare so he didn’t mind using it for the show. Atsumu was so pissed.)

Atsumu was wearing a dark red button up with black slacks, the first few buttons of his shirt left undone showing the sun tattoo on his chest.

Sakusa was wearing a dark red button up with a harness and black slacks. His tattoo was on his back, not currently visible. They gave him a fake eyebrow piercing.

Osamu had a tight black button up and slacks, two small silver earrings on each ear. His sleeves were rolled up and you could see his moon tattoo on his forearm.

Suna was wearing a black wife beater and ripped black baggy jeans. He was given tattoos on his neck and his moon tattoo was on his upper arm.

five: fight me

masterlist • previous • next

“Actors listen up.” the director said, calling for everyone’s attention. They were in a practice room, currently practicing stage combat for the show. “This actor was unable to make the zoom call and the table read but he’s all caught up now. He will be joining us starting today. Please treat him with the utmost respect.” the director turned to the man beside him, “Introduce yourself.”

‘as if no one knows who that is’ Atsumu thought, crossing his arms and rolling his eyes.

“Sakusa Kiyoomi. Pleasure to make your acquaintance.” The man said, his dark brown eyes scanning the room.

Atsumu walked up to him, “Omi-kun.”

“Miya.”

“We’re doing stage combat. Fight me.”

“Sure.”

(blue is yn unless specified otherwise)

Notes:

Atsumu lived to see another day

You went with the twins and Sunarin to get chipotle all dressed in black with masks to try and hide your identities. You hung out at the twin’s house (all of you guys are a-list celebrities. a house is really just a mansion) and ate chipotle while running lines

Atsumu did not stop talking about “Omi-kun” the entire time you all hung out to the point that you all decided to make a game out of it and take a shot everytime he mentioned Sakusa.

it ended up with you guys doing just dance and karaoke

[definitelynotciara]

four: spilled tea

masterlist • previous • next

I ran in breathlessly laughing, with my disguise, sunglasses and a trench coat. I take them off, walking up to the hostess to ask where my group was.

“Right this way.” She said, guiding me to the large table where my cast mates were already seated, looking down at their menus, making idle chatter.

“Hi!” I say, taking my seat next to Tooru.

“Glad you made it here safely.” Tooru snickered. “Those paparazzi were relentless.”

“They really were. I had ta get into a taxi and tell them to make some rounds to lose em.” Osamu said groaning.

“I got into a separate taxi.” Yachi sighed, nodding her head. “They’re the worst.”

“I ran fer my life.” Atsumu said boisterously.

“Me too.” I said, still a bit breathless. “I’m very excited for this project. I read the script and it’s amazing.”

“Same here.” Kiyoko said smiling. “The table read went so smooth today too. All of you are such great actors. I’ve seen plenty of works starring you all.”

“Really? I loved your work in Eternal Echos, Kiyoko.” I say. I’ve been a fan of hers for a while and having the chance to work with her is insane.

“Aw thank you. I loved yours in The Code.”

SHE KNOWS WHO I AM

“That’s the one I starred in with Atsumu and Rintaro! I loved shooting that show. It was a great experience.” I grin, trying not to freak out.

“I loved filming that too.” Rintaro nodded, taking a sip out of his Coke. “I still have fans calling me by my character’s name.”

“Same ‘ere. I wouldn’ change a thing though. I love when they quote stuff from that movie. I reply if I remember what my line was.” Atsumu said

I grin wider than before, “I swear some of my fans know my lines better than I do. Also, I meant to ask this before but do you all want to exchange socials? If you have a private account. I have one dedicated to friends and it’d be great to have you all follow. I mostly shit post.”

“I already follow you because I’ve been there since day one.” Tooru brags obnoxiously.

I hit his arm “You deserve that.”

We then gave each other our private accounts!

three: table read

masterlist • previous • next

just in case you didnt know 🤭🤭

also, in table reads, the main cast usually sits next to each other, and you usually sit next to the person you have the most scenes with (especially love interests. if they are an established couple -in the show or movie- or love interests they sit next to each other)

since this is such a famous cast, this table read was recorded so that they can post some behind the scenes content later!

notes:

•the tv show they’re in is named bloodlines!

•its an original plot i made up myself 🫡

•if its bad blame me its all my fault

[definitelynotciara]

two.5- you’re hired!

masterlist • previous • next

[definitelynotciara]

two- you’re hired! separated into 2 parts because tumblr is being a bitch <3

masterlist • previous • next

You get ready from the waist up. No one needs to know you’re wearing pajama pants. No one will know.

You log into your zoom account and join the meeting. You see a lot of familiar faces, the twins, Suna Rinatarō, Kiyoko Shimizu, Yachi Hitoka, Oikawa Tooru. The cast is really famous. filled with big names in the industry.

wait.

Oikawa Tooru? The fuck?

[definitelynotciara]

one- do we have chemistry?

masterlist • previous • next

You walk into your last chem read and see Osamu sitting there. You had just finished reading with Atsumu so you felt pretty prepared. You said a polite hello to Osamu, thanking him again for helping you up earlier. The employee handed you and Osamu your scripts, which contained the same script you’ve been using the whole day.

Good. Some familiarity never hurt anyone.

“Action.” Someone called out.

“Hey are you okay?” you said, immediately getting into character. Her name was Ceres, you guys were in the middle of a battle and at this point in the story you and Osamu’s character, Leon, were already in love. Leon had just been injured so your character ran in, concerned.

“Yeah I’m good.” Osamu said as Leon. His voice was a bit strained to show the pain his character was in.

“Gunshot to the damn arm Leon, you aren’t good. Let’s get you to a nurse or something.”

“Or you can kiss it better.” he smirked in response

“Bleeding out is making you more stupid.” Ceres laughed fondly, combing a hand through Leon’s hair. You decided to do that, not just with Osamu but with other people throughout the entire day of chemistry reads. It just felt right. She’s worried but she still cares. It makes sense. Plus the Director smiled each time you did it. That’s just a plus.

You touch your forehead to his and sigh out, relieved.

“Cut. That was great, you two. That’s a wrap for today. Have a goodnight everyone.” You said your thank you’s. (It doesn’t hurt to be polite at auditions) and then left.

zero- why venus?

You take a breath, adjusting the light and starting up the camera. This video is slightly more personal than you usually let people, especially fans, know. You adore your fans but some just can’t tell the difference between a friendship and the boundaries that a celebrity sets with a fan. You thought you were pretty damn clear.

“Hey guys I know my name is public but I only allow close friends to call me by it!” is what you said all those years ago, sometime when you first became famous.

Why wasn’t that enough for them?

In hindsight it wasn’t that in depth so you decided to make this video so that everyone would hopefully respect your boundaries. Just because you’re famous doesn’t mean they can just treat you like an object.

“Hi everyone,” you start, smiling your practiced, professional smile at the camera. This is a good start, it's polite and not too confrontational ,“it’s Venus. As you probably guessed from the title of this video, we’re gonna talk about why I chose this stage name.”

You take yet another breath to keep yourself calm.

“To start, I do love my given name. But when I decided to go into the acting business I chose to have a stage name. Because I need to be able to separate my personal life from my life as a celebrity. Beyond all my movies and TV shows, I’m human.” you laugh, in a self deprecating way. “I know, surprising, right? Y/N is for family, and my closest friends. They’ve walked through life with me and know me personally. I mean I’ve known Haj since birth and Tooru since I was like…4? So of course they call me by my real name.”

“So Venus, as you may or may not know, is the Roman Goddess of beauty. Growing up, I was ugly. Like I just went unnoticed throughout most of my life. People made me feel miserable. I didn’t like attention.”

Your door clicks open revealing Hajime and Tooru smiling. Tooru excitedly held up a bag of takeout. The three of you share a house, a childish promise made a reality. (Doesn’t everyone want to live near their best friend?) Hajime pointed at the takeout and mouthed a sentence that looked like “Hurry the fuck up.” You smile, genuinely smile, then turn back to your camera.

“Then one day my brother made a friend, and this guy was like drop dead gorgeous and a complete asshole who was full of himself. But that asshole told me to be more confident in myself. So I did. Because I, unfortunately, am a people pleaser.”

You turn to the door and chortle at Tooru’s reaction.

“If you hadn’t guessed that person was Tooru. And he’s still a drop dead gorgeous asshole who’s a little too full of himself. But he’s also my best friend and one of the first people to believe in me. We got into Greek and Roman mythology together because of an American book series we read. And I decided that going by the name Venus would make me feel more confident in myself.”

You could see Tooru out of the corner of your eye trying not to laugh at your brother who was gesturing towards the dining room. The two of them walked away after that, shutting the door silently.

“Venus represents who I want to be, and who I once was. I hope you all will recognize that I need my own space too and please feel free to call out ‘fans’,” you rolled your eyes, “who call me by my given name and are not personally involved with me. Just be polite about it—unless they aren’t being polite about it. Then you get full reign.” You laugh loudly into your hand.

“Thank you all for everything! And not to shamelessly plug—but I have a new project that will be announced soon so be sure to follow me so that you can stay informed on that. Love you guys. Bye!”

You shut off the camera and groan loudly, yelling out to Tooru and Hajime that you’re done with filming.

You decided to edit it later.

You have your priorities.

And it's them.
