("Wow, it's the first time i got a day off when everyone's out. Gee, the place feels empty.")
Izumi went through the kitchen to grab a cup of coffee and settled down on the couch studying Tsuzuru's new script.

"I have returned." By the voice, Izumi could tell it was Homare but his tone was a bit concerning since he was always cheerful in his own way.
"Welcome home."
("What's up with that sad look in his face?")
"Is something wrong, Homare?"
He looked at Izumi sat on the couch and took careful steps towards him, sitting beside him not breaking eye contact.
("Wha... why is he looking at me like that... I must say, he's kinda handsome when he's not being all loud and about.")

"Director-kun, tell me, have you ever been in love?" Izumi frowned at the sudden question and looked very confused.
"Yes, probably, why do you ask?"
Homare inched closer to the other. "You see, my life has gone by so fast, I forgot to date and fall in love..."
("He sounds weirdly melancholic, is he acting?")
Izumi put down the script he had been holding and finished his coffee to then face Arisugawa who looked so lost in thoughts while saying those things.
"Until now..."
"Oh? Did you find someone interesting?" Izumi smiled.
"Yes I did." Homare lifted his hand to Izumi's cheek.

("The f-")

"Izumi, your eyes are so pretty."

("My eyes? Wait, did he just call me by my name? Am I dreaming?")

"Your face is getting hotter, do you perhaps share the same feelings as I do? It is you that i love, Izumi." Homare switched from his cheek to playing with a lock of hair that was falling into Izumi's eyesight. "...I love you."
"H-Homare, what are you saying? I-"
"Don't say anything. Please, just consider my dearest feelings towards you, I will wait for however long you want me to wait."

"And cut!" Homare switched drastically his facial expression, putting his hands in the air. He was back to normal with a huge smile in his face. "Director-kun!" Izumi couldn't move a muscle, he was blushing like crazy, his eyes wide opened, still not believing the situation. "How did you like my acting? The best? Magnificent?"
Homare took a more careful look into Izumi's shocked face. "Oh my, Director-kun, are you okay?"
Izumi snapped out of his trance. "Of course i'm not!" He hit Homare's arm. "What are you thinking just bursting here to give me this skit without no warning at all!"
"Hahahaha! Director-kun you are such a cute fool." Arisugawa laughed while patting the other's head. "I am sorry for not warning you, to be frank, the only love I have come to know is the one I read in Shakespeare's plays and books, I wanted to try acting it out to see how it would turn out."
"You're crazy and I hate you." Izumi pouted.
The poet laughed. "But to see the precious face you showed me today, I don't regret it at all. Besides, who's to say that was all acting?" Homare winked.
Izumi got up taking the script with him.
"You're spending too much time with Azuma, I'm going to my room, goodbye."
