Then it's settled, there are guest rooms if you wanna sleep already, or you can stay up on the couch! I have to quickly step out to call Minori to make sure she's resting by now and not practicing, she tends to lose track of time! Saki can you get them all nightclothes? " Tsukasa said energetically, heading up to his room to make the call. 

" Of course, ill get the guest clothes! Hona, Ichi, Shi! I have some new plushies to show you follow me! " She quickly ran up the stairs, dragging the girls along with her.

Tsukasa walked into his room, Shut the door behind him, lay down on his bed, and closed his eyes.

When they opened, he was a completely new person, the sparkles in his eyes gone, his expression morphing into a frown as he stared at the ceiling.

Inviting Everyone over for a sleepover was not his brightest idea, especially with how he was acting and feeling ( ? ) now. But anything to steer the topic away from what Rui, Emu, Nene, and Saki had just seen him like.

Them worrying over him would just inconvenience them in the long run. He couldn't not be okay, he's " Tsukasa Tenma, World Future Star " to them.

So he had made a petty excuse to leave for a bit. He just left his guests whom he had practically begged to stay over alone in the living room. What a terrible host he is.

This excuse of " Calling Minori " wouldn't last long before he had to go out and see everyone again. Not to mention he actually did need to facetime Minori, since he always calls her at this time to either send her to sleep or just tell her goodnight if she is already heading to sleep.

Minori will be waiting for the call, and he couldn't risk worrying her or making her feel sad by not calling her tonight.

So Tsukasa sighed, got up, and went to his mirror, fixing his hair and getting on pajamas so he didn't look like literal shit to Minori when she saw him. Placed his phone on his dresser and backed up so he sat on the bed

Closing his eyes, he let a breath out before hitting the " FaceTime Minori " button.

When He opened his eyes again, He looked like " Tsukasa Tenma ", with a bright smile on his face and eyes shining. FaceTime gave a few rings before he suddenly saw the bright smile of Minori and Haruka looking at him through the screen.

" Hi, Tsukasa! How was your show today? " Minori said, hugging a stuffed animal she had in her lap before. It's a white bunny with a blue bowtie, Toya had given it to her when they both came over for dinner one night and Minori looked intrigued by the cute bunny Toya had brought over to gift. They all brainstormed name ideas for about ten minutes before settling on " Kuki ".

" Amazing Minori! Everything went as planned, how was your practice? " Tsukasa replied, speaking as loud as ever. He didn't want to lie, but saying he ruined a show and ran away for a few hours would disappoint Minori, not to mention the star Haruka was right there listening.

" Good! I learned some new dances today from Haruka! She stayed late to help me, we just wrapped up practice so she's staying over tonight. "

" Ah, that's great! Hello Haruka, nice to see you again. "

Haruka being with Minori at the nightly FaceTimes had become a normal thing now. It started with her just sleeping over a night, and Haruka insisting to leave the room to give them privacy. After both of them insisted it was nice to see her and talk to her on the calls, she finally got used to just staying and talking with them.

" Hello Tsukasa, " Haruka said, before pausing and staring for a few moments.

She continued 

" Are you alright Tsukasa? "

The Sudden ask of that question threw off Tsukasa. How was she able to tell so suddenly? Nevermind.

He replied " Of course I am! I'm just feeling a bit tired after the show this time more than usual, that's all! "

Haruka didn't reply for a few moments, looking at him skeptically, before finally saying " If you say so, shows do tire peop- "

" Oh! Are those new matching Pajamas both of you? How cute! " Tsukasa rushed out. He felt bad for interrupting Haruka, but anything to please just change the subject.

" Oh yes, they are! We got them earlier today when we went shopping, there's one for everyone in the group! " Minori said, excitedly moving her hands back and forth.

Minori and Haruka had Pajamas of the same little white bunny Design, the main way the outfit was structured was a button-up shirt with long sleeves and pants. Minori had a yellow one while Haruka had a purple one.

" Shizuku has light blue, and Airi has light pink. " Haruka said, moving on from the previous topic.

" That's adorable, I might just do that with Rui, Nene, and Emu one day! "

" You guys would look so cute in matching outfits as well! I think they would love the idea Tsukasa! " Minori said, clapping her hands together.

Tsukasa wanted to sigh, he was getting annoyed at the conversation already, He loves Minori and Haruka like his little sisters, hell Minori was an honorary Tenma now! But conversating had been so hard and annoying lately.

" Well it's late and I don't wanna interrupt you two any longer, make sure to dream sweetly tonight guys! " Tsukasa said, attempting to just end the conversation.

Minori and Haruka flushed at the words " Interrupt you two " like it was in a date manner. Tsukasa knew of Minori's massive crush she had ranted to him multiple times on the idol.

" W-well, your r-right we should be heading to sleep now, Night Tsukasa! " Minori rushed out.

" G-goodnight Tsukasa! " Haruka said quickly before the call ended.

Tsukasa let out a sigh of relief, falling back on the bed again staring at the ceiling as he returned to nothing.

He wished he could just stay nothing, just starting up till the sun comes up not having to ever go down and put on his act for the guests. But he knows he could never do that.

Sitting up, he was ready to put his star act on and go face everyone before he stopped in place.

Standing in the door frame was Honami, looking right at Tsukasa with a worried face. Who knows how long she had been there, could she have just seen everything?

As fast as physically possible, Tsukasa put up his act again, smiling at Honami and standing up.

" ah, Honami! To what do I owe the visit? " Tsukasa asked, walking closer to her. 

" O-oh, Tsukasa! Well, I-I was asked by Saki to check up on you, to see when you were coming d-down! I'm sorry if I intruded! " Honami rushed out, looking even more startled by how quickly Tsukasa's attitude changed.

" Oh no, you're perfectly fine! now let's go down and see the others! " Tsukasa said, now rushing downstairs to avoid the possible " Are you alright " conversation they were about to have. 

When he arrived at the bottom of the staircase, he was greeted by the sounds of an action movie fight scene. When he moved closer he saw a variety of snacks around the couch area, lots of blankets and pillows, and a sleeping Akito.

Akito's head was on Toya's lap as Toya " watched " the movie, but he seemed more interested in Akito, running his hands through Akito's hair.

Saki, An, Kohane, and Ichika were all intensely invested in the movie, eating popcorn and Doritos, and snuggled up in blankets.

Nene was playing a video game on the switch she had, and Emu and Shiho watched.

Rui looked distracted, looking at the tv screen but not really paying attention. When Tsukasa walked a little closer, he raised his head, smiling and looking at Tsukasa.

" Ah my star, you look lovely in that outfit," he said nudging Emu in the back.

Emu and Nene looked up when Rui mentioned Tsukasa, getting a smile on their faces and moving closer to the couch where Rui sat.

" Eh? It's just a normal pair of pajamas... but I look great in everything! Obviously! ' Tsukasa corrected his response swiftly, making sure to seem like normal. 

Nene and Rui's smiles just wavered a bit when he corrected himself, but that couldn't be right. Did he seem selfish in their eyes?

" Of course you do, our star. " Rui said. He then outstretched his arms and signaled for Tsukasa to come to sit. 

" Uh Rui, there's no room left on that area of the cou-... oh... " Tsukasa Flushed, walking towards Rui.

" Come on, just cuddle, please?  You act like we don't always do this." Rui asked." Unless you don't want to, that's okay! " Emu said to him.

" No no, it's fine, let me just... " Tsukasa said flushed. He sat down on Rui's lap facing Rui, moving his arms to hug him and legs to wrap around his waist. " Now Tsukasa, what do you wanna do now? " Nene asked him,  playing with his hair softly.

" Me...?  Well, I wanna do anything you guys want to do! " " Tsukasa this is about you. We can do anything you please, eat snacks, watch the movie, continue cuddling, and watch Nene play video games! " Emu said, moving closer to him.

What I..feel like..?

" Can we just stay like this for now, please..? " Tsukasa looked up and asked Rui.

" Of course, we can. " He replied and smiled softly back at the boy.

Tsukasa rested his head on Rui's shoulder, as Nene played with his hair again, Emu rubbed his back and Rui hugged his waist.

He doesn't know how long they sat like that, but Tsukasa started to feel sleepy which he felt like was very fast.

He yawned as he felt himself starting to drift off. He doesn't wanna level this moment though, and deal with his act, later on, he wants things to say like this.

There was a whisper. " You don't have to act in front of us or worry about this moment or us leaving. You can sleep, we aren't going anywhere love. " 

Tsukasa recognized the voice but couldn't make it out as he drifted off to sleep.

For now, everything seemed perfect.
