[ I'm testing a new writing style! ]
I'm out of ideas..
You groaned to yourself, chin sliding out of your palm. You smacked your forehead into your office desk, huffing whilst you repeatedly tapped the end of your pen against the desk. Having to map out a variety of shows within such a shadowy deadline was painstaking, and especially taxing on your mental health. In spite of that, you were determined to create wonderful and flashy stages for every unit to sparkle upon. T'would be your job, after all.
"Producer~!"
Cooed a specific, rather high-pitched voice. You jerked your head, placing your pen atop the sheets of unused design papers. Peering over your shoulder, you grinned upon spotting a blond haired idol. Ivy hues glistening with some sort of excitement, Aira waved a sheepish hand at you. "Good morning, Aira," you softly said, rolling your chair out from the desk. You then rose to your feet, offering the ALKALOID member an excited wave in return. "Did you need me?" "Hehe, yeah," he chuckled childishly. "So, a little birdie told me it's Valentines Day.." he trailed off, eyeing you with anticipation. You raised a brow, snickering under your breath. "Did that little birdie also give you chocolates?"
In a surprised manner, Aira's eyes widened. "How'd you know?! Don't tell me Hiro told you.. that meathead..!" He clutched his hand into a fist, angrily shaking it to silently curse Hiiro. "Nope," you pointed at him. "Your hands have been behind your back this entire time— after you waved to me." "Aww," he heaved a defeated sigh. "Anyways, I made your favorite!" He happily announced. Face flushed with bliss as you were greeted with a red bag of candies, you took the small bag in the palm of your hand. It was adorable, topped off with a yellow ribbon and an acrylic "ALKALOID" charm. "Woah, look at this!" You beamed at the charm, eyeing Aira's reaction. His face had flushed red as you noticed the charm. "I didn't even know they released these! Congratulations on your first sale of merchandise!"
Evidently blush-y, Aira fidgeted with his fingertips. "I'm still really nervous," he confessed. "I mean, what if they don't sell well?" You found yourself confidently patting Aira's head. "You never know until you try," you reminded him with a giggle. "I can check in with the merchandise department if you're interested in monitoring sale values." "Really?" Eyes aglow, Aira lurched forth. He tugged you into an embrace, giggling to himself as though he'd begin kicking his feet. "Of course," you laughed a bit to yourself, happily embracing the lad in return. "Thanks so much for these, by the way. Do you want the charm back?" "Oh, absolutely not!" Argued he as he stepped back. "That's for you." "Since I totally play favorites." You added in a somewhat-joking tone.
"Hehe~," Aira then eagerly nodded his head. "I have to go now. Enjoy the chocolate, Producer!" "I'll tell you how they are tonight." You replied, snatching his face in your hand. You placed a kiss upon his cheek, afterwards waving to him. In a mess of red, Aira stumbled backwards, blundering sentences of flustered nonsense. Until finally, he beamed a toothy grin. "I lo~ve! Haha, bye!"
You shook your head as he ran off, nearly colliding with another producer in the process. As you seated yourself, you gently unraveled the bag of chocolates. Upon eating one of the sweet treats, you eyed the ALKALOID charm. You knew exactly where to put it.
