“—Hey, are you okay? Why are you limping?”

“Ugh, I sprained my ankle a bit while running down the stairs just now...”

“Why on earth would you run?? And, what's with the rush?”

“Ehh...I was afraid that you'll go home without waiting for me along...”

“What? When had I ever not wait for you? What kind of nonsense—Anyway, you can't walk that way so—just climb up.”

“Heheh, are you going to carry me like that all the way towards the limo?~”

“...I have a better plan—how about I just carry you all the way back home this way?”

“Wahh...it's been such a while since we had last walk back home together like this. Sure, I'd love that!...As long as kitty doesn't mind, that is.”

“...Of course I don't mind, silly~”

…

Birthday.

⁣

To most people, this is a day where one can wish to their heart's content on what to get on this day——as a way to celebrate the day of when they are born by receiving a gift that they most desired. ⁣

⁣In this world there are a lot of ways—— for one to get a gift. It can be done by the exchange of a valuable price to obtain something which can't be gotten in the usual daily life. It can also be a heartfelt piece of heart gifted– by someone who you truly care about, made with love and effort.

As one receives those presents, they will show that they are very delightful. For on the things that they received on this day, comes more valuable than any other day, more meaningful than usual.⁣

As for me…⁣

…

Even during life’s hardest days, when mishaps happen and calamity cause all seems to be ⁣be hopeless beyond saving——

However once I get home, upon the door that opens at my face, the first sight that greets my view—— is you, standing right there.

⁣

Plastered on your face always, is the smile that welcomes me home, bright and filled with heartfelt warmness.

Your opened arms that embrace my sore and exhausted body, are like the pair of wings grown on an angel ⁣

Listening to your voice sounding close to my ear, it carries such loving gentleness, as you mutter line after line of sweet nothings to my ear—— about how proud you are with how I pulled through this day.

Just like that, you have always been in such an unconditional⁣ state, being relentlessly patient, healing that broken soul of mine.

Making everything…seems fine again…

⁣

…⁣

There were many times where I've given up upon myself, yet you had never given up the faith that you bear in me.

⁣

As disappointed with myself and ⁣negative as I can get you—— you remain prideful, confident in all that I can strive…

Faced by such an insecure little me, you were always the number one fan that had stick with me through thick and thin, cheering me on, and filling me with new motivation to move on. ⁣

As bad as a day can get, as stressful as it may be

However to just have you by my side, even when you have done not much to help, contribute less than what I need.

⁣But you truly are—— in the darkest most difficult moments of my life——that last found comfort, that I have earned,

And be grateful for the rest of my life…

⁣

Your voice—— has became my daily source of encouragement;

Your embrace——is like the warm shelter provided– within the midst of the icy cold weather outside;

Your eyes—— are the clear blue sky, that had shown up during the stormy days;

Your smile——is what appears after the rain, the first ray of sunshine. ⁣

…Ever since you have appeared in my life, from thereon⁣ I have realised…

There is truly nothing else more that I desire in life, other than anything that has to do with you.

Because…

“...𝐌𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 ��𝐨𝐮, 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐛𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐞, 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐦𝐲 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮…”⁣

“𝐈𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐲 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫’𝐬, 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐯𝐨𝐰 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞——

⁣

“The best birthday gift that I've ever received in my entire life.”

【パラダイスの王国👑🏞️】

——Under the blue sky, where dreams are born,

I find myself in a paradise adorned.

A realm of wonder, where worries fade,

Where serenity gleams, and troubles evade.

The sky above, a canvas of azure,

Painted with hopes, so vivid and pure.

The whispers of wind, a gentle lullaby,

Carrying my thoughts as they soar up high.

In this paradise, where time stands still,

Nature's symphony plays, a tranquil thrill.

The melody of birds, a joyous refrain,

As they dance amidst the blossoms' domain.

The scent of flowers, a fragrant embrace,

Their colors alive, in vibrant grace.

With each breath I take, the world comes alive,

In this wondrous sanctuary, I truly thrive.

In the distance, mountains majestically rise,

Their jagged peaks reach for the skies.

A reminder of strength, resolute and bold,

Guiding my spirit, as stories untold unfold.

In this symphony of serendipity,

I find solace, an eternal tranquility.

Boundless horizons, where dreams can grow,

A paradise that ignites my inner glow.

Oh blue sky and paradise divine,

In your embrace, true happiness I find.

Forever grateful for this sacred place,

Where beauty and serenity interlace.

So, let me dwell beneath the azure dome,

In this realm of solace, I call my home.

For within this paradise, my heart stays true——

Unveiling the wonders that lie in you.

“...Hey, I'm back. Look what I got you——its cute, isn't it? So cheer up okay? I'm sorry for being mad at you earlier…I was just frustrated…Don't be sad anymore, I love you, okay...?”

——Even though it was really your fault that got me angry and mad, but looking at your face like that…I can't help but melt into instant forgiveness, moreover yet the urge to make up to you was always so strong that I just end up showering you with more acts of love and care.

I can't ever bear to see you sad, especially that face filled with silent sorrow or timidity whenever you have caused me to be angry, unintentionally.

But even so…I just can't bring myself to stay mad at you for long—

—For your happiness, matter more than anything in the world to me.

[the-idols-story-thesecretbase]

“Kurooooon, let's try to play that thing— it looks so much fun! Come on, pleeease~ join the ride with me pretty pleeeease~”

“...Ugh…Haa…Fine, I guess—”

“Yay!! Then, I want to ride that one first, and then that one, then ooooh that one that one we must try! We're gonna have so much fun together, woohoo!~”

“......”

——For someone who never found enjoyment nor entertainment in amusement parks, however going there for the first time with you…everything changed.

Through the crazy rides of thrill and challenging games of excitement with you, I found myself, really having so much fun in an amusement for once in a lifetime.

Maybe it's because I'm not alone, maybe it's because I had you holding my hand every time I went on those scary rides with you.

Or maybe it's because…I get to see you smile with such joy and enjoyment.

That it makes me just want to have moments like this with you more in the days to come—

—Say master, let's have more fun times like this, shall we?~

[the-idols-story-thesecretbase]

”Master is Master...No one else can possibly replace him, right?~”

Paradise is said to be a place that makes people feel like heaven, comfortable and peaceful. It can be defined as many types of existence, it can be a giant shopping mall where you can shop till you drop, or it can be a magnificent castle that looks like something from a fairy tale——but for me, Paradise, to me, is a mysterious place. A region is that is visible, but not entirely present. Paradise can be seen with the naked eye, many times, yet not felt within the heart. ⁣

⁣⁣⁣Once, when I was a child, my brothers introduced me to this wonderful place that had brought me contentment——it was a great wide grassland, with the clear blue sky above my head. That's all that is. ⁣⁣

But then I was forced to leave that place, and after being separated from my brothers who were the only ones that made me happy... Even though in a later time when I came to a place that seemed to be looking the same, but... I don't know why, I couldn't feel it anymore. ..That feeling of happiness, even though it is the same grassland and blue sky...but that feeling...is no longer there, I thought...I would never find my paradise again—— ⁣⁣⁣

Until…I met you.⁣

The first time I met you, looking at those sparkling blue eyes, it was like seeing again... the blue sky that belongs to the world of Paradise.

Later then, the happiness, consideration, and love that you gave me made me finally feel...the taste of true happiness...⁣⁣

Once...I stood alone on this broad grassland. The sky above my head only made me feel a dull sense of emptiness...⁣⁣But now, again, I have come to this same familiar place, standing on this grassland... however, I am no longer alone. ⁣⁣

Your laughter makes this desolate land come back to life and become full of vitality. ⁣⁣

⁣⁣In this place...because of you and the blue sky...it makes the grassland once again become the ‘Paradise’ that I have been seeking for for a long time⁣⁣

In this place, because of you, I can feel... ‘happiness’

Therefore, this place has been called ‘World of happiness’

And you are the Paradise what I have been looking for for a very long time—

…Happy birthday, the greatest blessing in my life. Thank you for being born and bringing me true happiness.

⁣——And bringing me the true existence of Paradise.

“Ehh——Kuron?! What are you doing here——Aren’t you supposed to be outstation——How come——”⁣

⁣

“Silly, as busy as I am with work and all, this day is knowingly very important to both you and me.”

“——Therefore, I wouldn't miss it for the whole world~”⁣

[the-idols-story-thesecretbase]

A Declaration To the World 📣✨—

“There are people whom hate and disapprove of us out there but there are also people whom accept us and support us by heart. It comes in a set of categories and there's no point in enforcing people whom don't like us to like us, in the end, it's their freedom to judge and criticize.”

“But for all I can confirm is that...I would no longer let their views and opinions manipulate our will and freedom to live our own lives the way we desire.”

“I love Kou with all my heart and to me, his happiness meant the most to me. It came with a heartbreaking process and acknowledgment of his silent sacrifice for me to finally realize what's more important to me.”

“On that very night where the proclamation of my love towards him was done towards the entire nation. Even if that means I would've lost everything I had, overnight. Even if it'll mean sacrificing everything or paying a heavy price for submitting into this relationship.”

“I still wouldn't have regreted what my heart had made the decision to do that night, and I'm willing to go through whatever it takes to let all the people see the choice I've made in life— ”

“So if you ask me now if I would choose this world or Kou... I'd say Kou, in quite a heartbeat—”

“—Because he is my whole world.”

[the-idols-story-thesecretbase]

“We're finally home from school…you hungry? Would you like something to eat?”

“Hmm…I suddenly have a craving for fried ebi!”

“Heh, sure, alright. Right on it, my captain ~”

—I don’t know when it started, but I have discovered that food is also a method used to pamper you—

For a foodie like you, that seems to eat a lot—especially the foods that you love. Sometimes there are choices which I can't understand - but as long as you like it, I will definitely get them all for you to eat - the most enjoyable thing for me... is the moment when I can feed you.

Looking at you eating with such blissful enjoyment...it really is so cute~

[the-idols-story-thesecretbase]

At times, I find myself waking up—

To you right next to me, just as every other nights.

But on these nights I would just end up staring down at you

With a soft smile of happiness tugged on my lips, and my gaze on you ever so gentle with deep affection in them.

I looked at you held so closely in my arms, resting against my chest, sound asleep like a peaceful baby, within the darkness of the night.

As my mind wonders and heart exalts, an unconditional warmth blooms like a giant flower that fills all my senses and brings tears to my eyes…

“...How lucky I am to have you, as mine…”

“You are the reason that I wake up to happiness everyday…You are the reason that I feel loved everyday…”

“You are the reason that I'm never left alone to face any challenges in life, for you're always there by my side…”

“You are the mere best gift in my life, my very dream came true…”

“...Thank you for coming into my life…and making me the luckiest man in the world.”

“I love you so much, Master…”

[the-idols-story-thesecretbase]

“...Heh, you feel so warm against me after a shower.”

“Noo, you're warmer. But kitty's body has always been warm anyway, it's just so comfortable to rest on…”

“Man…you'll fall asleep like this on me, you always do after a shower…”

“I can't help itttt~ it's very very comfortable…warm…plus, you smell so nice…like a flower.”

“Heh, sure, so do you…like fresh baked dark chocolate.”

—Nonetheless, I don't mind holding you like this as you fall asleep on me, I could also indulge in your scent closely and have a brief close eyes myself…

But don't sleep for too long okay~I still have work to do. But if you're too tired, I'll tuck you in first—

—I'll join you later…

[the-idols-story-thesecretbase]

——On every year's birthday, I truly don’t hope for much.

At least, not since I met you.

Back then, birthdays were just quiet days that passed by with cake, messages, maybe a present or two. But now, with you beside me, every day feels like a gift in itself—and the day I was born just feels like the beginning of the path that eventually led me to you.

As I’ve always said…

You’ve always been my gift.

Always, and anywhere.

No matter the season, no matter the hour.

The way your smile lights up my world—

That alone outshines anything wrapped in paper and ribbon.

Even the simplest thing you do on a random day—like laughing, or reaching for my hand—feels like something the universe personally wrapped and sent straight into my arms.

And when you hold me close… when your arms gently wrap around me as if to say, “You’re safe now, you’re not alone,”—that moment becomes a quiet miracle I’ll never stop cherishing.

People talk about gifts as objects—things to hold, to keep, to collect.

But to me, you’re the kind of gift that breathes.

You’re the kind of gift that stays—one that lives beside me, walks with me, listens to me when I fall apart, and somehow manages to put me back together with just your presence.

You keep telling me you wish you could do more for me.

That you hope you’re enough. That you want to give me the world.

But my love… you already do.

There is nothing more you need to do, nothing more I want or could possibly wish for, other than simply this:

You, happy, by my side.

That alone is more than I could ever deserve.

So thank you.

Again, and again.

Thank you for existing.

Thank you for choosing to be here, in this life, in this time, with me.

Thank you for showing up even when it’s hard, for loving me on the days I don’t love myself, and for becoming the most constant warmth in my life.

You are my home.

You are my calm.

You are the one, most eternal, most lovely gift I have ever received—

And will ever hold

「𝓚𝓲𝓼𝓼 𝓓𝓪𝔂」⁵/²³

—— (𝟮𝟯/𝟬𝟱)༝༚༝༚——⁣

——The night was deep, and only a dim desk lamp remained lit in the classroom. Its gentle glow cast a warm halo over the desk. Outside the window came the occasional chirp of insects, and from time to time, the night wind stirred the curtains, swaying them slightly in the stillness—so quiet that one could almost hear one’s breathing.

At that moment, Kuron sat at the teacher’s desk, brows slightly furrowed as he flipped through test papers, the red pen in his hand marking steadily, with his usual focus—tinged with exhaustion.

In that silence, a familiar presence quietly approached.

Kou had somehow snuck up beside him, his movements so light they made no sound. As always, he appeared without warning, stood by Kuron for a few seconds, then leaned down to watch him grading. A faint, unreadable smile played on his lips. Then he bent closer, right by Kuron’s ear, tapping his own lips gently.

“Hey, kitty... do you know what day it is today?”

Kuron clicked his tongue softly, as if he had expected the interruption, and looked up at Kou, eyes filled with visible fatigue and a touch of helplessness.

“I know, I know—... what a pain.”

He sighed, lazily leaning toward him, closed his eyes, and gave a quick peck on Kou’s lips—so brief it seemed like nothing had happened—then sat back up and resumed grading, red pen back in hand.

Kou froze, lips still tingling from the fleeting warmth. His eyes widened in disbelief, like he’d just been gravely insulted, and he burst out:

“Wha—! That was a kiss?! That was way too fast! How does that even count?! It doesn’t!”

“You’re so annoying…” Kuron muttered, voice low and tinged with impatience, yet still calm as ever.

Hearing that, Kou stiffened. A flicker of hurt flashed in his eyes. He turned his head away sharply, crossed his arms with a heavy “hmph,” voice whiny yet trembling ever so slightly with emotions:

“...Fine, I’m annoying! I’m a bother! Then don’t kiss me, don’t—don’t love me anymore…!”

“You’re always like this… Every time I need you, you push me away and focus on your own stuff. Do you even love me...? All I wanted was a small kiss, and you—!”

Before he could finish, Kuron had already stood up, grabbed him by the collar, and kissed him—hard.

That kiss was like striking a match to a long-smoldering flame, fierce and urgent, like a silent clash of emotions. They kissed deeply, each trying to take control, pouring all their bottled-up feelings into it, so intense it left them breathless. The kiss surged toward its emotional peak in a single breath.

Just as Kou was about to give in completely, ready to melt into the heat and let go—those lips suddenly pulled away with a sharp “pop.”

Still lost in the aftermath, eyes half-closed, Kou gasped for breath, dazed and flushed. Amid the haze, he barely caught the whisper of words carried on Kuron’s breath:

“Ha… Ah… Satisfied now…?”

“Happy Kiss Day, you troublesome idiot…”
