"Ah? Have you even brought a letter from Ruka-tan? Ahh, you are the best!" Leo exclaimed as he smiled fully and squeezed his little sister's letter against his chest. “I'll read it when I get home!”
While the Tsukinaga talked to his fans gathered there, from the door of the room, and looking carefully not to be caught, was Izumi, who smiled when he saw his partner's bright eyes.
"Your brother has received your letter, Ruka. You can be calm now", Sena said as he took his phone to his ear.
"Ah, thank you very much for everything, Izumi-san," the girl sighed from the other phone line. “How did he react?”
"He has a smile from ear to ear and his eyes shine like two diamonds," the Knights member replied as he looked at the old "king" again.
"And I guess you're also smiling when you see him, aren't you?" Ruka asked with a small mocking tone.
Izumi didn't blink at that question, he just sighed and said:
"Goodbye, Ruka," and hung up without further ado.
The platinum-haired one put away his phone while wondering how he had agreed to do that.

It was about six hours ago, before Leo's birthday event began, Sena was in the common room of the bedrooms of the Seisou Hall, with a bowl of yogurt with blueberries, strawberries, raspberries and muesli in his hands. The idol put a spoonful of his midday meal in his mouth before turning his head towards the door of the room that connected to the outside.
"Ah, Hibiki. Good afternoon," Izumi said.
The aforementioned entered the room after taking off his shoes and turned in the direction of the Knights member.
"I'm bringing a package for you, Mr. Knight," said the fine member as he smiled.
"And where do you bring it, if you have your hands on your back?" Sena asked as he looked sideways at the Hibiki.
"Well, on the same back," answered a female voice.
Izumi stopped chewing to look at Wataru, who kept smiling. Suddenly, something behind his back pushed his hair away, showing that he was carrying someone loaded.
"Ruka?" Izumi left his food on the low table next to the sofa, and then went to where Wataru was.
"Ah, hello, Izumi-san," the girl replied with a shy smile as she pulled Wataru's hair away, letting herself be seen.
"What are you doing here? Women are prohibited from entering the enclosure of the bedrooms” Izumi crossed his arms over his chest before tilting his head and saying: “Narukami is a separate case, before you say anything”
"The little girl wanted to give something to the king, didn't she?" Wataru smiled again before looking sideways at the Tsukinaga, who nodded.
"Yes. My brother hasn't been home since he came from Florence because of his work, and although today is his birthday, he hasn't had a break either, so he hasn't been able to keep an eye on the phone," Ruka explained before taking a hand to her shirt pocket and taking out an immaculate white envelope. “And today I have activities in Kimisaki, so I won't be able to see him when he gets off work either. So I've thought about coming here, to give him this letter, but I've remembered that rule. Just when I thought about leaving, Hibiki-san came to meet me and helped me sneak in here.
“Mhm. It does not count as "women's intrusion" if the woman in question does not step on the floor of the building," Wataru justified himself. “So I have offered him to get on my back and hide with my hair. And that's how we are!”
Izumi sighed before looking at the envelope and asking:
"Do you want me to send the letter to your brother?"
"Would you do that for me?" said the Tsukinaga.
The idol nodded as he smiled and took Ruka's letter in his hands.
"In a few hours it's his birthday event. I'll go there a little earlier and I'll leave it with the rest of the big surprise gifts, okay?” The Knights member put the letter in his shirt pocket before saying: “And I'll make sure you have a free time so you two can talk on the phone. I'm sure this will give him a joy; he was already needed, the poor man”, suddenly, the idol denied as he frowned and erased the smile from his face. “But I do this for you, not for him: fuck him”
Ruka laughed slightly before answering:
"Yes, yes, of course, as you say," he immediately looked at Wataru and said: "Hibiki-san, we should leave now: in the end, I'll be late for Kimisaki, and I'll be hurting your back”
"Ah, don't worry about my back, girl; I could put up with you for a whole hour if necessary," Wataru told her as he smiled and looked better at the Tsukinaga. “But if you say you have to leave, we're leaving, we're leaving”
"Thank you," Ruka waved her hand to say goodbye to Izumi and said: "See you soon, Izumi-san!" Immediately, she covered herself with the hair of the Hibiki, who put on his shoes again and left the room, leaving Sena behind, who sighed before taking his bowl and continuing to eat while sitting down.

A couple of hours after Leo's birthday event ended, Izumi was in the common room, sitting at the table while writing a couple of notes from his phone to his notebook.
Suddenly, he felt someone leaning on his back as he placed his hands on the table, on both sides of his arms. However, he was not scared or surprised, since he knew who it was.
"What are you doing there, Ou-sama?" Sena asked before turning the page of his notebook.
"Huh? I thought I could scare Sena," Leo said as he separated from his unit partner, pouted and sat in front of him.
"You thought wrong," Izumi replied. “What are you doing here?”
"I came to thank you," Leo replied at the same time as he smiled.
"And why is that?"
"Don't make a fool of yourself: I know it was you who left Ruka-tan's letter with the rest of the gifts," Tsukinaga rested his head on the table and looked at his partner. “It really made me very happy. I know I haven't been able to be with my sister as long as I wanted, but at least, with that letter I could feel that she was talking to me”
Izumi looked Leo in the eye, and couldn't help but get his joy, so he smiled and said:
"You're welcome”
Leo looked into Izumi's eyes before opening his own like plates with a big smile:
"Now that I remember! I haven't opened your birthday gift!” The one with orange hair put his hand on a bag, which he had left on the table, and took out of it a rectangular package that was well wrapped. “I didn't want to open it in front of the fans, so I'll open it here and now!”
"Wouldn't it be better to do it in your room or alone?" Sena asked as he took two fingers in tweezers to the bridge of her nose.
"Nope, because I want you to see the expression I make when I open it!" exclaimed the Tsukinaga before starting to carefully unwrap the package, to, once his work is finished, be surprised to see that what it contained was a large box. “Huh?”
"Look inside, idiot," his partner mused.
Leo blinked before opening the box and looking at its contents.
"A notebook?"
Leo took the notebook, put the box aside and opened the notebook, finding that it was full of pentagrams with musical notes, names of melodies and the lyrics of some songs that he knew perfectly.
"All these are... my compositions?" asked the idol. “Even... even those that were written in places that were not paper; even those written with blood," said the Tsukinaga when he saw pieces of paper that contained his blood written in notes, which had been added next to a sheet on which the score could be better seen.
"All of them. And next to them, paper notes, photos or small objects of what inspired you to write them," Izumi said as he hid his small smile with the palm of his hand, pressed on his lips. “And behind the pages that are already full, there is even more space for new compositions”
The Tsukinaga turned the pages quickly, seeing that his partner was telling the truth. The idol raised an eyebrow when he saw a note pasted on the last page written, so he hurried to read it:
"Happy birthday, Leo-kun. I hope that this book of compositions will help you in the future, although between you and me, we know that it won't last a year. With affection, and special love, Izumi Sena."
Sena opened his eyes like plates, since he had forgotten that he had written that dedication.
"Hey, forget that I wrote that last one, okay?" Sena asked as he felt the tip of his ears warm up due to her blush. This blush increased when Leo took him from the collar of his shirt and gave him a small kiss on his lips.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you! Ruka-tan's letter and this notebook is one of the best things you've given me since we met!” Leo hugged Izumi for a few seconds. “But nothing beats that "With affection and special love" that you have written to me. I love you very much too, Sena!”
The aforementioned had no time to react before Leo gave him another kiss, took his phone and took a picture of both of them.
"This is inspiring me for a new song! I will use your gift almost two minutes after I received it! You are the best boyfriend in the world! I love you!”
"Ah..." was all that came out of Izumi's lips before the Tsukinaga left the room jumping, leaving his confused boyfriend behind.
He frowned, snapped his tongue and covered his face with his hands, extremely embarrassed.
