╭┈◦❥ • A concert for the Queen

・❥ Pairing: Riddle Rosehearts × Reader

・❥ Author's note: not too well versed in J-music or J-pop so I hope this is still to your liking,

Riddle stared at you, mildly bewildered as you squealed over a new album which you were flaunting proudly, waving it in his face. Absorbing roughly half of your rambles mixed between your excited squealing.

"I finally got the album! I've wanted this one for so long! I pre-ordered it ages ago and it's finally here!!" You were practically squirming in your seat with excitement, embracing the plastic casing against yourself as thought it were the most valuable thing in the world.

"Ah, this is the album you mentioned to me a few weeks ago at an unbirthday party, no?" Riddle spoke, setting down his tea cup with a 'clink!', recognising the case as the one you had showed him online some time ago with equal enthusiasm.

You perked up at his recollection, you had baisically spent atleast thirty minutes of the unbirthday party info-dumping about your new favourite group and how this album was their best yet, making sure to lay the glaze thick on your oshi. "Yes! Aw, you remembered!"

At that Riddle preened, a proud smile gracing his lips as his cheeks flushed slightly. "Well of course I did"

Riddle himself isn't all too familiar with Idol culture, he didn't exactly grow up exposed to much media, he didnt even really grow up watching cartoons like regular children so this is still very new to him- though now with more exposure, he often hears his dormmates talk about popular songs and genres, so when you ramble about your favourite group or a new song, he's not entirely ignorant even if he is somewhat clueless on the topic.

Him asking you for insight on the topic made for a good bonding moment, a good parnter must be in tune with their partner's interests! He is a very good listener and is better at remembering.

On that note, Riddle had made various mental notes of which idols seemed to be the object of your attention, remembering names and whatnot of whoever is your favourite or current favourite if your the type to rotate frequently. He always pays attention to detail. It's cute watching him listen to you talk with such a focused expression.

Riddle actually appreciates your admiration for the idols that catch your eye- they must have put lots of effort into their singing and dance performances, it's only right they get the right amount of appreciation! Though he may not understand your fascination entirely, he definitely does not judge.

If you are the type of person to collect merchandise of your favourite Idol or group, he definitely admires your set up of all your memorabilia, presentation is key in Heartslyble afterall.

Though he may not be as well versed in idol culture, Riddle could certainly see the appeal of a good song. He finds himself listening to the some of the songs you recommend out of his own volition. Specifically the kind of music that resembles classical music or anything "fancy" but he also enjoys anything quite soft and "cute", he listens to the playlist the two of you share whilst he gets himself ready in the mornings.

Riddle would often seeks to consult his upper classemen, Cater in order to better verse himself in your interests given the gingers role in the Light Music Club. And of course, Cater was more than happy to help his cute little Dormleader!

It was quite endearing how intensely Riddle was listening to his explanation, you'd think he was going to start taking notes like this was a seminar! Cater was almost tempted into taking a photo of his Dormleader's focused face, but he'd rather keep his head.

Just as luck would have it, your favourite group was going to have a concert soon, in your area on top of that! Of course you were very quick to snag tickets, Two to be precise.

Naturally, You brought Riddle along, who only needed a little convincing to make up his mind and join you. You promised to make his first concert experience his best!

Riddle being the worrytart he was made sure to bring everything- powerbank, water, snacks, ear buds, antibacterial wipes and.. yeah you get the idea, he was very adamant on being prepared. He was taking it all so seriously, it was sweet.

Once the concert started, you were practically beaming in your spot, waving your lightstick around and making sure to take a plethora of photos and videos of the event. Riddle seemed to follow your lead, you even got him to sing along with some of the songs.

Though eventually..  the music was nice but it was getting to be a little too much, combined with the bright flashes of colour and crowds of people, it was getting overwhelming- though he had to admit the Idol's singing and dancing was impressive, he found himself growing exhausted by the whole ordeal very quickly.

He looked over to where you stood beside him, beaming with your lightstick waving in the air whilst you sang along. He couldn't help but smile, alright, if it meant seeing you all giddy and excited perhaps he could endure a little longer..

As the concert continued you noticed Riddle had gotten quieter and waved his light stick with less and less enthusiasm. You lowered your lightstick and took his hand, reading his expression instantly and tugging him through the rows and out the exit, you could always finish the performance live anyway.

Leaving early didn't hinder your post concert gitters however-

"Did you see how cute they were all dressed? Their hair and makeup didn't even budge the whole time-! I seriously need to stalk their makeup artists page to see what products they used-!" You rambled, tapping away at your phone screen looking at all the posts flooding your feed about the concert.

"Yes, not to mention they sang quite well despite how much they were moving, they must've have trained very hard for this concert" Riddle mused, using his free hand to take a sip from the water bottle he had brought along, his other arm linked with yours as you both made your way to wait for your train back to get back to Night Raven.

After favouriting a handful of posts, you slid your phone into your pocket and moved to wrap both your arms around Riddle's arm, giving him an affectionate squeeze. You tilted your head and peered at him with a grin. "I had so much fun, I'm really happy you came with me- I got to see my fav with the cutest boy ever with me!"

Riddle's voice caught in his throat as his face went beet red, he swiftly turned his face away from you, hiding his fluster. "W-well! I cannot deny i quite enjoyed myself," You heard him audibly gulp as he turned his face back to you. "Hopefully, next time shall be just as fun"
