Hiki loosened his tie, leaning on the balcony rails. He looked up at the stars, watching as they twinkled in the sky.
“What’s a guy like you doin’ out here all alone? Everyone’s inside enjoying the party, I think Kohakun is fighting the groom right now.” He hears an amused chuckle behind him, Shinju sliding up to stand next to him, a champagne glass in her hand.
Hiki gave a lopsided grin. “What’d Amarinrin do this time? That troublemaker really couldn’t go without instigating something, even on this specific day? Pfft, I still wonder what Nikkun sees in him.”
Shinju emptied her glass, setting it down on the railing. “Not sure, probably started it though. Kohakun is definitely making sure he’s getting what he deserves,” she laughed.
“Ha, yeah, definitely if it’s Chiikawa.” Hiki laughed airily, scooting over so Shinju had more room.
“You didn’t answer the question~” Shinju poked him on the cheek, a silly smile.
Hiki scrunched his face, batting her away. “Can’t a guy get some fresh air? All the idols in there are so~ draining. Did you see that one that was climbing the wall? Or the one that was lying on the floor asleep? Crazy bunch, all of them. How does Nikkun stand being surrounded by all of that 24/7~”
Shinju snorted. “Like you’re one to talk? You’re as bad, or even worse than the red one after several drinks.”
“Shi-chan, I do not appreciate this attack on my character~” Hiki whined, resting his hands on the railing.
They stood in silence, looking up at the stars.
“Shi-chan, Nikkun looked so happy.” Hiki mumbled, still looking up.
“Yeah. So did Ama-chan. I guess they’ve both been waiting for this for so long. It’s really sweet.” Shinju smiled, leaning back on the railing.
“He’s an idiot and dumb as fuck, but really the only one that can make Nikkun smile like that. I’m glad that Nikkun found someone that would never let him be alone again.” Hiki sighed, gripping the railing.
“Hikkun…”
Hiki turned slowly, offering a hand to his companion. “Do you think…we could’ve turned out like that?”
Shinju took it, giving a small shake of her head. A sad smile. “It would never work. You know this.”
Hiki laughed, squeezing her hand. “Yeah. You wanted to protect your siblings, I wanted to redeem my family name. Two dreams on separate paths, too far apart.”
Shinju laughed softly, squeezing back. “Yeah. It really wouldn’t have worked, no matter how much your mom tries to use her puppy eyes on me.”
Hiki rolled his eyes. “Pfft. I’ll tell her to stop. Whether we’re together or not, she does see you as family, though. You’re always welcome for dinner.”
“Hehe~ I’m always down for Shiina cuisine. As long as it’s not made by you.” Shinju stuck her tongue out.
“Hey! My instant food prep skills are amazing, thank you very much.”
“Instant noodles and microwave rice do not count as a good meal, your entire family is saying this and you still don’t believe them?” Shinju huffed.
“They just can’t appreciate taste like how I can.”
They stared at each other before both started to laugh, loud and clear and just them up there on that balcony.
Hiki grabbed her other hand, gently pulling her away from the railing. “But just for tonight, Shi-chan. You’re my plus one~ May I have this dance?” He lifted up one of her hands, kissing the knuckles.
Shinju laughed, eyes glittering. “Only for you, Sweetheart.”
They waltzed around the balcony, dancing slowly to the sound of some song that Hiki pulled up on his phone.
“Maybe in another world it’d be us at that table,” Hiki hummed, stepping one way.
“Yeah, after you try to and fail to fight my father over ten times. No, maybe a hundred times.” Shinju giggled, letting him take the lead.
“Hey! I’m hurt that you have no faith in me~” Hiki whined, spinning them.
“I’m just stating the facts, Hikkun.”
Hiki huffed. “Maybe like twenty. They’ll feel sorry for me and then let me win.” He swayed them, slowly and not even on beat with the music.
“I think Kohakun would rather die than have you as a brother. The other two are okay.” Shinju smirked.
“But he’d be fine with Nikkun?! The betrayal!” Hiki feigned a gasp, swaying them to the other side.
Shinju laughed softly. “Well? Tell me more about this other world.”
“Nikkun would want to be on catering…Maybe Mom and Dad will help. Amarinrin would probably be there too, I can’t imagine a world where he isn’t clinging to Nikkun.” He shifted one of his hands to her waist.
“Probably as annoying as always. The Ama-chan guarantee.”
Hiki smiled. “Yeah. You’d probably look very pretty for the first time ever, ha.”
Shinju pulled her hand free and whacked him gently. “I’d probably be the one in the suit, I think you’d fit the dress better.”
“I’m not Nikkun~ Not every man is willing to be a bride.” Hiki snickered. “No one would ever be able to look as pretty as Nikkun, anyways.”
“Hmm hmm~ I agree.”
Hiki spun them again, stepping lightly. “ We’d go wherever we want to, all over the world. I’d show you all kinds of things, maybe we’d have a bunch of near-death experiences.”
“Which you probably would’ve dragged us into, leaving me to haul your ass to safety.”
Hiki laughed. “My ever-reliable Shi-chan~ What would I do without you.”
“Die a stupid death, I guess~”
Hiki stepped forwards, dipping her. “And…I don’t know. It just feels like it’d be nice, that other world.”
“Yeah. It does.”
Hiki leaned in. “Shi-chan, can I be greedy for a second? Can we live in that world for just this moment?” he whispered.
Shinju smiled sadly. “Yeah.”
Hiki closed the gap, soft and sweet.
He pulled back, helping Shinju back up. “Bleh. B-tier champagne. Didn’t Amarinrin listen to any of my suggestions at all? After I worked so~ hard on that list just for him, and for free, too!”
Shinju laughed, rolling her eyes. “He actually ended up getting way more than what you suggested. ‘For variety’ he said. Come on, it’s cold and I want a refill~” She picked her glass up, pulling on his hand.
“Yeah~ Yeah. Okay, that’s enough fresh air for the night.” Hiki laughed, following her back in and leaving that other world behind.
