Idol/Model OTP? Idol/Model OTP

[flyingsolos]

[ Rion is no stranger to modeling, even though Reika tends to get the most work doing it. Still, Tokyo had a bunch of shoots, and given that SPiKA had five members, all of them were putting in time when they weren't performing together.

Which was fine, as far as Rion was concerned, because it was just another way to strengthen herself as an idol. Even when she found herself, more and more, involved with shoots that involved a partner. Namely-- one Takamaki Ann.

To her surprise, Rion had found a kindred spirit in the other girl, someone who could laugh and joke, someone who wasn't trying desperately to be someone she wasn't, someone who also... really enjoyed sweets. And so, on their fifth shoot, heaving a sigh of relief--

Rion slips a piece of paper out of her bag and trots over to press herself against Ann's side, unfurling the paper to reveal an advertisement. ]

So how much eye-batting am I gonna have to do to get you to come with me?

[Ann won't argue that, but...]

I think it's an admirable goal.

[She smiles warmly, in hopes of offering Rion encouragement— not that it means a whole lot coming from a part-time model, she's sure, but still.]

You want to make people smile... help them feel like they can achieve their own dreams, right? I'm sure the fame part of it is nice, but I feel like you really mean that.

Of course I do! Seeing an idol performance was what pretty much saved me as a kid.

[ And Rion says that sincerely. ]

So I want to carry that with me, and see if I can be like that to the people who come to see us perform.

Really?

[There’s no doubt or judgement in her voice, but curiosity, instead— seeing an idol performance had saved her?]

It’s incredible that you’ve been able to chase your goal this far. You’re in the business for all the right reasons— I’m sure you have plenty of fans who are inspired by you.

[They’re nearing the cafe now, and Ann’s pace slows slightly as they round the corner.]

Even though I’ve been sticking to modeling, even I think your work ethic is inspiring. You always seem like you’re in your element.

Five years of hard work, but don't tell anyone. Idols are supposed to make it look like they nailed it on the first shot.

And speaking of, you're definitely a natural, Ann! I think you're pretty amazing.
