the greatest showman- a sengen oneshot
And now, we welcome the one and only magnificent mentalist Gen Asagiri to the stage! Gen was pretty young but he was already becoming famous. His psychic demonstrations were wildly popular, and hundreds of people bought tickets to his shows each night to see him perform.
“You, with the cool hair.” Gen said into the microphone, pointing to a guy in the front row with long white and green hair and ruby eyes. “I want you to take this paper and pen,” he handed the paper and pen to the man, “and I want you to write down the name of a city, a superhero, and a color.”
The participant quickly complied and wrote on the paper.
“Now fold it up tight and don’t let me see. The city you chose…was New York. Because you chose New York, the superhero you wrote was Spiderman. Because you wrote Spiderman, the first color that came to mind was red.”
The white and green haired man’s eyes lit up with amusement as he knew the mentalist got all the right answers.
“Now hold the paper up to the audience to show them I’m right!” Gen said with confidence. The audience cheered as they witnessed the mind reading trick.
The show continued for another thirty minutes with Gen wowing the crowd.
“That’s all for today folks! Ank-thay ou-yay!” The mentalist exited the stage, and was met with a big hug.
“You did great out there Gen!” Senku said as he gave Gen flowers to celebrate his performance.
“All thanks to you helping me out!”
“Believe me, I was just as surprised as everyone else when you guessed everything right.”
“Oh, come on!” Gen said with a playful eyeroll “That specific one had to have been the lamest trick of the whole show… though I will say some of my other tricks were quite impressive.” Senku laughed, “These flowers are beautiful though, thanks Senku.”
The two left through the backdoor to avoid paparazzi and got into Senku’s car. They drove home listening to Coldplay, which was Senku’s favorite band because of their song “The Scientist”.
Eventually, the two reached their apartment. Senku unlocked the door and Gen was amazed at what he saw. The lights were low and there were candles, a trail of rose petals, and a bucket with champagne on ice in it.
“Senku…you did all this for me?” Gen was so grateful to have Senku in his life.
“Of course, my love. You deserve it.” Senku pulled Gen close to him and the two locked eyes.
“I love you Senku.” Senku pulled Gen’s chin towards him and kissed him passionately. Gen put his arms over Senku’s shoulders and Senku put his arms around Gen’s waist.
“I love you too Gen, ten billion percent.”
