Synopsis: Who doesn't want to be trapped in a perfect world - with penguins?
Comments: Happy Valentines! - for those who aren't against this holiday.
"I remember when my mom use to collect these. She had them all over the house, and when ever she felt like it she'd stop to pick one up and start shaking it. But out of like a hundred of them there was this one that's her most favorite. She had it placed right on her nightstand, so that she could shake it, and then watch it until she fell asleep. Inside it was a penguin wearing a blue-and-white-striped scarf.
She said, she once asked her dad -- or my grandpa, to take her to the South Pole so she could see the penguins. Of course, he said no, instead he gave this snow globe to her. Probably the reason she liked it so much.
Also, I think there was this time when I was six, where I couldn't sleep so I got out of bed to go to the kitchen for a glass of water, but than I saw my mom sitting in the living room all alone. I forgot about the water, and she pulled me into her lap as she held her favorite snow globe in her hand. She turned it over; letting all the snow collect on the top, instead of shaking it, then quickly turn it upright again. The two of us watched the snow fall gently around the penguin.
The penguin was alone in there, I thought, and I felt kind of sad for him. When I told my mom this, she said, 'Don’t worry, Kaza; he has a nice life in here. He’s trapped in a perfect world.' I didn't know what she meant then, but I think I do now. Sometimes I feel like that little penguin in the snow globe trapped in a perfect world all alone, 'cuz that's all he knows."
Shou said all this after he received a snow globe from a fan. Coincidentally, this particular snow globe also has a penguin inside, who's wearing a blue-and-white-striped scarf, with an addition of a matching hat and earmuffs, and he held a microphone.
"Oh great, Shou you've made Nao over here all misty." Hiroto pointed at the snifflily one sitting in the fold-out chair next to him.
"Shou, I didn't know you felt this way," Nao said, in a way like he really was about to cry. "Come here. Let me give you a hug.” He stretched out his arms to Shou.
"It's alright, there's really no nee-" Before Shou could even finish his sentence Nao was already on him with one of the drummer's infamous big pooh-bear hugs.
"Hiroto, you too." Nao turned his head to the young guitarist, while still not letting go of the wiggling vocalist.
"A..ha… maybe later," Hiroto half smiled, and half tried not to laugh from the frantic expression on Shou's face.
"Okay. Then I'll go get Saga and Tora too to give you a hug as well," Nao told Shou once he released the vocalist. "Group support is the best thing for you now, Shou-kun. Gambatte." He waved a fist. "I'm off."
"Nao, you don't really hav-" Shou didn't get his last word in , again, and Nao had shot out off like a bullet.
Hiroto chuckled. "Isn't it just great to have a guy like Nao in our band?"
"Yea, Nao's a nice guy," Shou agreed, sitting down on another fold-out chair next to the guitarist.
"So, is that really how you feel?" Hiroto looked to the only person left now next to him. "That you're all alone on this?"
"Well, sometimes," Shou said warily.
"Really?" Hiroto turned his head to the side to let out a small laugh. "Well, for your information, Shou, you're not the only one in on this. There's Nao, Saga, Tora, and me. All four of us, including you, that's five people, who made this band, alicenine., even possible. We have fans who support us all over the world. So don't ever think you're alone. And hey, look."
Hiroto reached his hand into his bag, which laid next to his chair, and pulled out a snow globe with a penguin inside, who's wearing a red-and-white-striped scarf, with an addition of a matching hat and earmuffs, and held a guitar.
Surprise and shocked, Shou still managed to snatch the snow globe out of Hiroto's hand to take a closer look. "You got one too?"
"Apparently, this fan sent each of us these snow globes." Hiroto snatches his fan's gift back from the vocalist.
"So, you mean the other guys got it too?"
"Yea, *Amamiya gave it to us when we arrived to the set. While you were the one who came in late."
They were currently doing a photoshoot, but since someone was messing with the lighting equipment the band had to wait until they figured out how to get the lights working properly again.
"Oh, so that's why." And Shou thought he was the only one. "Now, I feel stupid."
Meanwhile, Nao was running circles around the set looking for the other two remaining band members. After doing two cross-countrys he found Saga standing in front of the soda machine.
"Saga, quick, Shou needs a hug," Nao ordered, a bit out of breath at this time.
"What? But I just put my money in the so-" Beverage-less, Saga was pulled along anyway by Nao, and very much thirsty.
Very soon, they spot Tora leaning outside on the building across the street from the shooting set.
Once Nao got to the older guitarist of alicenine., he plucked the cigarette that was in other one’s mouth. "Tora, quit smoking, Shou needs a hug."
"What?" the guitar said, but his eyes were still set on the cigarette the drummer had token away from him.
"Hey, liar, liar." Saga too, had his eyes attached to the cigarette that Nao was waving around so the original owner couldn't get it. "Earlier you said you forgot to bring any cigarettes."
Saga seemed to have better hand-and-eye coordination then Tora, as he was the one that snagged the cigarette from the drummer’s skillful hand. Then the bassist rewarded himself with a long drag of the cancerous stick.
"Man, that was my last one," Tora groaned.
Saga blew a puff of smoke in the guitarist's face. "HA! Serves you right for being a liar." Followed by the bassist sticking his tongue out.
Tora had balled his hand into fist when Nao cut in. "Guys! Shou needs our help, so come on!"
Once Nao had explained what happen, the other two gladly followed the drummer back to the dressing room to cheer up their vocalist.
"Shou, I brought Tora and Saga to give you a-" Nao paused to witness both Shou and Hiroto napping at the couch. While the young guitarist was in a sitting position, the vocalist was laid down with his head rested on the other one's lap.
Nao took all this in and waited for a second to go by. "Aww, this is so cute. I have to take a picture of this to put on my blog. The fangirls would love this," he squealed, and hurried to find his mobile.
Back by the wall-sized mirror were the two, who weren't as amused with the Hiroto x Shou moment, but rather of themselves. They were readjusting their bow ties.
"I can't believe we have to wear these penguin suits for this photoshoot." Tora scrunched up his hair and reached for his hairspray.
"Humph, you might look like a penguin, but I think I look quite dashing in a tuxedo." Saga made poses in front of the mirror.
"How about me guys?" Magically, a big penguin appears right in between Tora and Saga. Then the head came off and it was really Nao inside an actual penguin suit. "A fan sent it to me. I think I look kind of fat in it though."
Tora and Saga looked at each other as a force that was stronger then them threatened their faces. They fall down backwards and started rolling on the floor and laughing hysterically.
Nao corked an eyebrow as be reached in his penguin suit for his mobile. He aimed for the two laughing penguins.
"Say, cheese!" He took the shot. "How cute. I got a picture of two penguins. Wait, no, four."
____________________________________________
Shou‘s real name is Kazamasa, so I just used ‘Kaza’ for short.
*Amamiya is just a name of a staff I made up.
There is an implied pairing(s), but this isn‘t exactly a romance story, so I just left it as none.
Hope everyone enjoyed it anyway.
