The 𝐁𝐄𝐀𝐔𝐓𝐈𝐅𝐔𝐋 BLACK BOMBER

                    Damn that sadist. She'll have words with him later if this goes south! 

        Still, TSUBASA manages to clear her throat and work up the courage to do what she came here for.

" Err, forgive me for skipping through some of the pleasantries, then. I'll get to the point. " She meets his gaze front and center as she goes in for the pitch.

Likely the Enka adaptions set into her samples, STYGIAN kept an open mind to see where her range actually holds bounds. After all, there had to be a reason why his manager haven't turned away this new talent at the door.

He's only silent to comprise his thoughts; an interest for collaboration struck him curious. Clearly, she's heard his material. While it isn't beyond the marketing scheme to expose new talent through collaborative tactics, his intuition still insists that she would have a more pleasant experience away from AVEX. However, it wasn't entirely his choice to make, and it looked as if she's made up her mind. He wouldn't stifle that ambition.

❛ Very well. ❜ After deep thought, he straightens himself and motions a step closer to the female. Natural-tanned digits brushed a few obsidian locks from his face, if all better to gander her.

❛ So, now that I have agreed: was there anything particular you have in mind ? Any samples sheets I should look at or are we working from the soil ? ❜

He wouldn't waste time attempting to study her view. The key to their success would be cooperation. A sudden tick of advice compelling him. ❛ Above all, ❜ lips curve to a gentle smile, halting his mental notes to ruffle her hair. ❛ When proposing any agreement, never carry yourself as if you'll be rejected. 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐅𝐈𝐃𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄 is the foundation to each one of us, talented or not. ❜

🟊 MISSION START!!! ASK MEMES ❰ ACCEPTING! ❱ 🟊

@exocetx asked: dance, sender sticks a hand out to receiver and invites them to dance. ( any verse )

Another mission was successful. In the honor of it, a party was hosted on behalf of the Astra Intergalaxtic Hero Association aka AIHA. It gave not only recognition to the interstellar heroine, Jupiter Stealth, but her partner, Kuroshi Bomber, the Black Bomber honor for his achievement. Something he probably didn't think he'd achieve. But that doesn't mean he didn't let it get to his head.

After time spend mingling, the DJ blaring tunes to get people into the move dancing, daunbe blue eyes lands on a masculine hand offered to her by her partner. Her cheeks blemished, she took his hand in acceptance, leading off to the dancefloor. A bright smile flashed with a flirty remark to add.

❝ I didn't think Mr. Dreamy Eyes would even had time to save me a dance, ❞ Rena teases. ❝ How does it feel being officially recognized for your efforts? You really earned, Kuroshi. ❞

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐈𝐑𝐄 𝐍𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓, 𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐃 𝐇𝐀𝐒 𝐁𝐄𝐄𝐍 𝐅𝐋𝐄𝐄𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆—pondering the entire concept of recognition among the galaxies. Yes, a little appreciation was delighted, but in exchange for risking one's life: was it really worth it ? He was thinking back to his fallen brother, Mighty. Since he fell, a once-renowned hero was then replaced by a newer flavor. A part of him decided that he would never pursue a life of heroics. But somewhere along the line, he became warm to the idea of protecting things he came to love ( despite the rejection he felt over years ). Looking now onto the celebration arranged for them, it didn't seem all that bad after all. It was only one night, he may as well live it up for once. Especially, this night—not only did they have heroics to celebrate, they had something greater to appreciate; they were partners for years now and since when they became a duo. Now that he recollects, he hasn't really shown her that he valued her much, has he ?

And when the moment of truth came, he stands up and offers his hand toward the female—suggesting a dance. Whether she would accept or not was entirely up to her, but at least he made the effort. Much to his surprise, she accepted. He hadn't felt it, but a smile did make itself known across his features.

❛ To be fair, I don't dance with others. But, tonight, I'm making an exception. ❜ When she accepts his hand, the dark-haired male ushers her near. Oddly enough, there was a state of charisma in him. Not a speck of fear resident in his visage; he held he with such security—having nearly lost her once; he didn't hope to risk it again. ❛ I'm only making the exception once—just this once. So enjoy it while you can. ❜ The least he could do was save her his first and last dance.

Calm yourself Tsukamoto.... 

A reminder that he can't allow himself loose his cool. So what he may have lost his position because of some pale haired bastard. I guess, they do have more in common than they thought. But he's not gonna get the best of him. However, now that he thinks of it... He reminded him of someone. Someone familar... 

If this peasant didn't get his hands off of him. He didn't think there would be someone as broke as Arashi wandering around. But here he is. Mooching off of every little thing that is in his path. But he think reminding him of his past short coming was going to do him in? Hardly.

❛ Tragic. It's by far the craziest for someone to do the exact SAME thing except that the man he was stalking was actually romantically interested in her older brother. ❜ Oh, but at least he knew how to keep his radar in check. Motioning over, an arm slung around the younger male, now sharing a laugh.

❛ And to be shamed by not only a TODDLER but some chronologically displaced man in armor ... what was it ? GET THYSELF GOOD ? Pffft , I pity the soul. ❜

So tremendously pathetic, one may even have to flip a page and call himself ARASHI RIN.

Imagine being so pathetic that a girl even breathing in your general direction makes your anxiety fly off the roof and you run like a bat that got flashed by a light out of a cave. Yes, he too couldn't phantom what the other went through.

❛ Of course ~ that's almost as bad as getting fooled on by the BACKSTORY of your life; sweating over every turning chance his girl would get stolen away by some ... KING or something. Couldn't be me~ ❜ ★
