#turtle big

He lets himself drift around on his surfboard, lying on it as calm morning waves cradle him, water drops sliding down his muscular arms, thoughts of the previous night filling his mind. Shizuku Secretmind had had the chance to perform at the same venue as the current top idols of the city, and while it might have been a sign of their own rising popularity, seeing Trichronika in person had both humbled Turtle, and inspired him to reach for greater heights.

But more than anything, meeting the band’s leader had awakened something in Turtle’s heart, something that had kept him awake all night. He had always looked up to musicians who were able to make a name for themselves and stand out within the industry, regardless of their preferred genre or style. But Shuuzou was something else entirely, and Turtle thinks he now understands the hordes of fans the vocalist gathered everywhere he went.

Whether it was his own admiration messing with his vision or not, Shuuzou had looked like he was sparkling when he greeted Turtle and his band mates backstage, his bright smile making Turtle thankful for the sunglasses he always wears. He hadn’t heard everything Shuuzou said, something he somewhat regrets by now, but he had been way too distracted by long fluttering lashes, eyes more green than his own skin, hair so soft looking it made you want to reach out and caress it.

Turtle’s replies to Shuuzou’s kind words were timid, a mumbled “likewise”, a stuttered “thanks”. He barely took note of his band mates staring at him, the girls amused by the way all of his cool demeanor had melted down the moment Trichronika had entered their dressing room. Turtle didn’t register that Shuuzou had reached for a handshake until he felt cold hands on his own, thin fingers grazing his scaly skin.

Brought back to the present by the increased intensity of the waves around him, Turtle stares at the hand that had been touched by Trichronika’s leader just last night, the feeling still fresh in his mind. A smile spreads across his face as he bring his hand to his muscular chest, pressing it against his heart.

Watching Trichronika perform right in front of him had inspired Turtle to aim for even greater heights, to put on performances that could capture the audience’s hearts in the same way they could. Turtle wants his band mates and him to make it big now more than ever, for their own sake, but also in hopes of meeting Shuuzou many times again.
