#aura hack

He simply had too much faith, too much hope for everything to go right. They had spent so much time rehearsing for this show, so much time trying to get it out to people only for it to crumble.

Daisuke froze up like a baby deer in headlights the moment he was supposed to start singing. Wouldn't've been a problem if he didn't forget how to dance, too. He was simply taken off the stage after the first song, but after the show, he flat out refused to do anything with F!RED UP! again. He felt like an entirely different person.

Suki was pissed off, and it showed on and off stage. Reo had hardly been listening, just trying to calm them both down, but there was something about not holding Daisuke accountable and just overall not being serious enough to work as a unit.. she resigned, too.

And Ayaka.. oh, Ayaka. Her and Reo exchanged eye contact before she followed Suki out the door, not saying a word. Reo was officially solo again. And worst of all? Kira saw what happened on stage, and she probably heard the exchange backstage, too. He wouldn't be surprised if Kira left him too.

Reo found himself scrambling through his bag before he was even aware of it, remembering the small container of lemon extract he brought. Alcohol without the label, essentially. This could suppress the hurt.

He gasped for air, trying to open the bottle, but his hands were too shaky for it. His entire body was too tingly and shaky to focus on this stupid little-

Fucking hell..!

Yes, Kira did hear the exchange. Well, parts of it. It was damn near impossible to hear pieces of it over the crowds rambunctious behavior. But, he knew something was most certainly up.

As they managed to finally squeeze their way backstage (after sneaking past a few members of security), they stopped in front of the green room. The same one that Reo had brought them to after their fight and confession not so long ago. They briefly flinched at his exclamation before knocking, smoothing out their dress out of habit.

Reo. . .? Prince. . .?

. . . No reply. That wasn't good. He knocks again, his foot tapping slightly in worry.

Prince, if I don't hear anything from you, I'm coming in. I get what happened, but I wanna make sure you're okay.

👥📱🤝 for the ask game oretty pleas. can be for Any of your choosing 😛

Got it, bud! :)

I'll do some gremlins for each one, so don't expect anything to be too consistent. /lh

For 👥:

I'll do the OC dynamics for aura-HACK, just cuz they've been a bit of a recent hyperfixation of mine:

- Aki to Shin: These two have been dating for a bit after aura-HACK formed. While Aki can still be a bit temperamental, he does his best to keep it in check around Shin. That, and he's a tiny bit sweeter around him.

- Aki to Kira: They get along fine enough. He does get a little annoyed whenever Kira and Takeshi start bickering, though. . .

- Aki to Takeshi: He sees potential in the kid. He just WISHES he'd stop getting into unnecessary fights.

- Shin to Aki: His favorite person ever! Granted, Shin enjoys being around everyone of aura-HACK, but Aki's his boyfriend! Therefore he's his favorite.

- Shin to Kira: He enjoys listening to them talk about their fashion and will usually correct someone if they're using the wrong pronouns for her. But, he doesn't always do it, letting them handle it whenever they want to.

- Shin to Takeshi: He knows Takeshi sees him as a big brother, so he does his best to set a good example for him. Even if that means his more playful nature sometimes gets ramped up to a twenty.

- Kira to Aki: They think he can be a little stubborn and a bit of a stick-in-the-mud, but Kira will gladly work alongside Aki. Especially since he can be a bit intimidating.

- Kira to Shin: Kira doesn't know how one person can be so. . . BRIGHT. They swear, they could be blinded by Shin's positive attitude.

- Kira to Takeshi: Oh, Takeshi. Kira loves to tease him to no end. Even if they fight well side-by-side, he will find away to push Takeshi's buttons.

- Takeshi to Aki: He respects him, especially as someone as close to Shin as he is. He's also a little bit scared of him.

- Takeshi to Shin: Respects him, too. He's his sort of mentor/big brother, after all. Even if he'll never share it out loud.

- Takeshi to Kira: These two. Takeshi can tolerate Kira, but that doesn't mean he won't yell at them whenever they start teasing him. Especially with how flustered he gets.

For 📱:

I'll do this one for Killa/Paradox, cuz I have a BUNCH of incorrect quotes for them- /silly

This one's my favorite, though. :)

For 🫂:

This one's interesting, cuz I put a little bit of myself into all of my OCs. But, the one I relate to the most has to be Ryūen. Outside of his condition, he's the older brother type, who's willing to help all others even at the detriment of himself and tries to do what he can to make people's lives better. Which is what I try to do a lot myself.

And that's it! Thanks for the ask, bud! :) /gen

You all work very hard on your music, which I find to be very inspiring.. best not slack off now! Can't have other groups trying to surpass you...

Regardless, have a wonderful day! Celebrate until you can't stand upright!

- Reo 🍹 (@yoshinori-morikawa)

Hm? Oh, you're one of the ones who talked to Kira on their birthday, right? It's nice to finally meet you.

And thank you for the anniversary wishes. It's still quite hard to believe we've been doing this for a year now, but we're most certainly going to keep going with our music and show the world exactly what we're made of.

And was that a challenge I sense in your question? Cuz if it is, I say you're on, Reo.

That. . . That was supposed to be teasing. Don't mind me.

That was one time! And it was for the photo! No other reason.. That was the world's worst lie ever told, but he didn't pay too much attention to it. He was trying to defend himself, after all!

The offer to see more of Kira's tattoos, though.. Lord, Reo could not resist. ..Guess I'm pretty lucky, then~ I'm holding you to it. I wanna see.

Reo's mom comes back after wiping her hands off with a towel, sitting down again. Well, is there anything else you'd like to know, Kira? Hopefully I'm being a decent host. I'll admit, I'm not entirely sure what I'm supposed to do when I'm meeting my son's partner..

- Morikawa Reo 🍹+ Miss Morikawa (@firedupp)

Sure~. No other reason at all~. Kira replies teasingly, still leaning against Reo. I distinctly remember someone making comments on how thankful he was that I wasn't an idol because of them. She giggles, obviously having fun with this.

And yes, you ARE quite lucky, prince~. And you know I keep my word. You'll see them. Don't worry your li'l head about it.

Sorry I'm a little late, I got totally distracted by this band that was playing on the street. But it's only been a couple minutes, so this is better than I usually am!

Anyway, here. I brought you some sunglasses from home, since I thought they'd suit you! See, they've got a cute purple frame with some nice gems, like mine. Definitely adds to your glam, you know?

Are you hungry? I actually brought my wallet, so don't worry about paying for everything!

- Reo 🍹 (@yoshinori-morikawa)

It's quite alright, Reo~. I'm just glad you didn't completely forget about little old me~.

And these glasses are indeed adorable! I'll be sure to wear them, don't you worry~. Especially with all that we got planned for today~.

You look cool period, but you'd definitely look cool while performing~ And- ah, um- pssh, yeah, of course I am! I mean, just look at me, who could pass on a face like mine? Ahaha... anyway..

I won't, I won't. I wouldn't burden you with the task of healing me, what kind of person do you think I am? Still, expect me to be there~

Ah, you're so.. cute! I don't play bass, so I wouldn't exactly put it to good use, but if you really want to give me one, I'll keep it safe, I promise!

- Reo 🍹 (@yoshinori-morikawa)

Well, aren't you cute~. I appreciate all the praise, hon~. And no one could pass on a face like your's, and that includes me~.

I wouldn't mind healing you if you had a hangover, though~. Who do you think patches up most of aura-HACK after a fight besides Shin? I'd be perfectly happy with helping you, but that's besides the point. I will most certainly be looking for you during rehearsal~.

Reo was about to boop Kira's nose, but paused since she literally JUST got it pierced. Great move, Reo... Yeah, it'll definitely sting, kinda like when you pop a pimple on your nose. As long as you're not screaming in agony or getting too pale, it's fine.

He fidgets a little as Kira looks at himself from his phone, jolting in surprise at the sudden hug. A-Ah- yes, you're welcome, Kii-chan! Be careful, silly.. I love you too. Now that that's over, we can finally eat~

- Reo 🍹 (@yoshinori-morikawa)

Yea, I'm fine. Like you said, not screaming in agony, and I'm not any paler than usual, so I'm good. But thank you for caring, prince~.
