Double AS

"The flower season in the Northeast is really late..." Stepping on the kimono, the kimono with a light gold pattern on a white background is lined with a dark blue obi. The early spring in the Northeast is chilly, and Kise also put a woolen shawl on his body. He is happy in the cherry blossoms Turned down the road twice.

"Look at Xiaoqingfeng! All the flowers are blooming! So beautiful! Super beautiful!"

The breeze blows, the clothes flutter, and the light blonde hair flutters in the early spring sunshine.

Hoseok smiled.

It's been a long time since I saw him smile like that.

"It's just flowers, what's there to see?"

"Hey~ Xiaoqingfeng, you really don't have any romantic cells~ Wait for me! Xiaoqingfeng, you are walking too fast! Wait for me!"

The cherry blossoms are colorful.

Aomine walked with big strides, arms crossed, without even looking at Kise, who was lagging behind.

Of course nothing fancy.

──Because that guy is more beautiful than flowers.

The two walked on the cherry blossom road. This is just a small hot spring town in Aomori Prefecture, not even a scenic spot; even if it is spring break, most of the people passing by on the road seem to be locals who are taking advantage of the holiday , and almost all of them are old.

These two teenage boys wore yukatas and stepped on the pack and strolled on the sidewalk lined with cherry blossoms. Passers-by and tourists couldn't help but look sideways—but no one recognized Kise.

"It seems that you are not as popular as you imagined, Liang." After the old man passing by them looked back at Kise's face, thought for a while, and finally couldn't think of it, shook his head and walked away, Qingfeng couldn't help it To ridicule him.

"My fan group is only limited to those under the age of 50, okay?"

They walked all the way down the sidewalk.

The light pink Yoshino cherry blossoms and the deep red gorgeous double cherry blossoms are in full bloom. When the breeze blows, the petals fall like rain.Lost them all.

"Look, Xiao Qingfeng!" Suddenly, Kise noticed something and beckoned him over.

"This cherry tree is very special—it's two entwined." Kise pointed to a particularly tall cherry tree not far away—just look at the diameter of the trunk and the scale of the branches and leaves. I want to see the age of the tree is long.

Two cherry blossom trees are entangled with each other, embracing and intertwining to form a huge cherry tree. The branches stretch out, and the cherry blossoms are in full bloom. Even the branches hang down.The momentum is very domineering.

Although the other cherry trees were also in full bloom, they all bowed their heads before their appearance.

Looking down at the entire cherry forest.

"That's a sacred tree." A passer-by said.

"People here regard this couple tree as the patron saint of this place. You can see that there are tributes and painted horses below, right. People here will pray here to grow old together when they are newly married; after all, there are so many trees In the tree, only they found each other, and they have never been separated for more than ten years, there is no other way to say it except marriage?" The old man walked away after finishing speaking.Judging by his attire, he looks more like a field researcher than a tourist.

"Wow... so romantic..." I couldn't help but sighed.

"Have you been infected with superstitious disease by Midorima?" Immediately, a bucket of cold water was poured on it.

"If this can really keep me and Xiao Qingfeng together, it doesn't matter if Xiao Qingfeng laughs and calls me superstitious." Kise, who is used to his man's temper like this, took out his wallet from his arms, took out a few copper coins, and put them in In front of the cherry tree.Put your hands together and pray earnestly.

"It's useless to ask God for this kind of thing."

Aomine clasped his hands together despite saying that.

The two prayed in front of the sacred tree.

"I...I actually never believed in the existence of so-called gods...but I believe in fate." After a long while, Kise spoke leisurely.

"I have always believed that there must be something in the dark that brought you to me, Xiao Qingfeng; before I met you, my life was actually not much different from being alive to being dead. I have been praying for someone to appear ... A person who can't be surpassed no matter what, a person who can evaporate his entire reason, hold his heart tightly, be crazy about him, desperate for him, and just want to pursue him -- and then you appeared. In my In front of you."

Huang Lai suddenly stopped, took a deep breath, and only then mustered up his courage.

"I thought I would never be passionate about anything in my life until I met you—so I believe in the so-called fate."

Fingers touched the blooming cherry branches, and then gave him a faint, somewhat shy smile.It's really shameful for a big boy to say words like fate and god.

Kise lowered her head in embarrassment.

Cherry blossoms kept falling on him.

Such a gentle smile is simply not something that humans can have.

The blue earring on the left ear, and the green gold ring on the ring finger.

No matter how many times you run away, you will always come back to that person in the end.

No matter how many times he ran away, he would be pulled back to that person in the end.

Could there be anything else in the world besides fate to explain this deep and powerful attraction?

This is because this kind of attraction is too strong, too big, too scary, and he has no idea how he will lose control after falling, so he keeps trying to escape.But it was defeated again and again.

Kise walked forward and hugged Qingfeng.

"──I love you."

he trembled.Tears rolled down her fair face.

The sound is extremely soft, but very clear.

He finally made a commitment.

Qingfeng wrapped his arms around his waist tightly, and then didn't let go.

The two embraced quietly like this, and when they heard someone's voice gradually approaching them from a distance, they let go of their hands in unison.

Unexpectedly, he hugged her in public without feeling for a moment, but fortunately, there was no one here just now.After the two looked at each other for a while, it was Qingfeng who spoke first.

"...My first impression of you was that you were a very popular model who was popular with girls, and---you were always alone. Every time I saw you at school, I was almost alone; although It seems to be good for everyone, but in fact no one can get close to you." He put his hands on his waist and looked up at the towering ancient cherry tree, looking into the distance.

"At first, I was just curious. I wanted to see other expressions of the legendary popular model Kise Ryota, so I threw the ball in my hand without even thinking about it──" Aomine grinned.

"What!?" Kise, who had tears in the corners of his eyes, immediately changed his face. "So Aomine threw that ball on purpose?! Aiming at the back of my head on purpose! Did you hit it with that much force?"

"I'm curious about the expression on the model's head when it's hit in the back of the head~ super~ I want to know." Finally, he lazily drew a long tone.

"Excessive! Excessive! What if my genius-like brain is smashed!? No wonder my grades have been on the verge of life and death since then! So it was Xiao Qingfeng's fault!"

Little lovers, you come and I keep arguing. One on one.

"It's none of my business! Your grades are not that good!"

"At least better than Xiaoqingfeng!"

"I used Midorima's rolling pencil to score higher than you in the test." Kise was stabbed to death with a knife.

"Woo~! I'm so pissed off! Xiao Qingfeng, if you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb!" Kise stomped her feet and shouted.

At last the two looked at each other,

In the end, I couldn't help laughing wildly while hugging my stomach.

"Ahaha... No way... My life is ruined by your ball! Xiao Qingfeng will take responsibility for me!" He always thought that the ball of fate was arranged by God, but he didn't expect that God to be Xiao Qingfeng.

"You have to pay for my life! I was originally a normal person who was not noticeable except for my big breasts, but now I am determined to ask a man with hard and flat breasts to be my wife. I haven't even talked to you yet." You are a fart for the loss of my life."

Aomine Daiki who was fighting as usual.

"...would you regret it?" Kise stared at Aomine with amber-like golden eyes, "Although I know that I am impeccable in appearance, even by the standards of a girl, I am a super hot girl, but... ...I'm a boy...and I'm not an ordinary person..."

He bit his lip and continued, "As long as I stay in this circle... no, even if I don't stay, I'm afraid it will still be like this for a while──I will implicate Xiao Qingfeng and you can't live a normal life. We are better than ordinary people , more low-key and confidential, not to mention being together openly, it is even difficult to get along like a normal person; whether it is an open date, shopping, holding hands, kissing, all of these things are not allowed. Hidden... Regardless Either way, it's a very hard road."

Such an expression is intolerable, helpless, and reluctance.

"It's too late for you to say this now." Qingfeng also stared at him, "Even if I regret it, I can't get away anymore." He has no other way to go.

He was determined to jump off the Qingshui stage, and he wanted to be with this guy even if he died.

"At this point, I have no way out. I will go on with you... Here I am──" Kise pressed his chest, "I also made up my mind."

he said excitedly.

I have already decided, no matter what, I must follow Qingfeng firmly.

No matter what happens, he will never hesitate again.

"If you dare to run, I will break your legs and drag you back. It doesn't matter how many times you do it." Seeing such resolute eyes, Aomine responded like this.

With tears in his eyes, Kise nodded resolutely.

"Why do you like me? There are obviously more people around Xiao Qingfeng who are better than me. Whether it is character or temper, there are too many people who are better than me...Why do you like me who is troublesome? ?” I couldn’t help but ask.

"You are really in trouble! You are not strong, but you like to be brave. You look very brave, but when you encounter important things, you will dodge. Even if you make up your mind, you will procrastinate and sway. It's really fucking trouble!"

Aomine replied, "But──it is probably a troublesome person like you who has been chasing me for so many years. No matter how arrogant and self-centered bastard I am, you are the only one left. Endure it all the way."

"We are very compatible, both in terms of personality and body. We have always been a perfect partner on the bed and under the basket──MYQueen."

Finally he put his arms around him.

"Little Qingfeng..."

"It's obviously a man, there are so many tears."

A big man who complained while wiping his fiancée's tears.

"At this time, Xiao Qingfeng, you should shut up..."

Burying his tear-stained face on his shoulder, the one who punched him hard was the one whom Aomine Daiki wanted to spend his whole life with.

The soul boils and the mind evaporates.

It's tough and crazy.

How can a person love another person to such an extent?

──Although we didn't say it out loud, we both thought so.

"Excuse me, can you take a photo for us?" Qingfeng stopped the passing tourists with a big hand.

"Huh? But I'm not very good at using your young people's things!"

"Just press this button."

"Sorry to trouble you!" Kise also smiled beside him.

The two of them stood side by side under the tree with fallen cherry blossoms.One black and one white, the dark blue kimono contrasted with the gold pattern on the white background.

The moment the shutter is pressed.

Kise suddenly grabbed his arm.

It may seem ordinary to others, but they know how much effort and price they have paid for such ordinaryness.

In the photo, Kise smiled brightly, and Aomine, whose arm was held by him, also smiled heartily.

I always feel that it can be overlapped with the photo of Diguang back then.

If you want to say, what is the so-called courage.

It should be knowing that no matter what happens to you.

There is always a person whose feelings for himself are forever.

So, he also made up his mind.

"I didn't expect you to make such a decision, Ryota." In the box of Roppongi's high-end coffee shop, Matsuko Hanagawa slowly put the coffee cup with lip prints back on the ancient porcelain saucer.Make a crisp sound.

Although he has reached the age of knowing the fate, there is a special charm in every gesture.Even the wrinkles on the face have a unique charm.Matsuko Hanagawa, known as one of the three giants of Japanese avant-garde photography, has a slight smile on his lips.

"Yes, I hope you, Mr. Hanagawa, can help me with this. You are the driving force behind the birth of the supermodel Kise Ryota. Back then, you were the one who discovered me and made me leap from a small student model to a first-line model... Putting his hands on the edge of the coffee table, Kise lowered his head deeply, "I think, teacher, you and your camera know me best." He said. '"Oh... Indeed, I found something different from ordinary models in you... How should I put it..." "It's light."

"Although it was still very faint and covered with dust, I really saw it at that time. There is light on you."

"That's why I chose you as my protagonist among so many people. You are full of struggles and contradictions, extremely strong tension and conflict. Through the lens, you can feel your intensity so strong that it is almost Breathless emotions. To be honest, it is one of the works I am most satisfied with so far. If I have the opportunity, I hope to take pictures of you now──the moment when the new light dawns, it is worth recording eternal."

Kise just smiled.

"However, Japan's vision is still too narrow. Most people still only see your naked body. They can't see your struggling, tough and beautiful soul. All they see is a piece of naked flesh, and then use that The preconceived definition of prejudice ── defines you as a pornographic model who does not hesitate to take off for red, defines me as an old woman who teases young boys, and degrades my masterpiece into a worthless pornographic photobook." Shake Hanagawa Matsuko Shake your head.

"I'm fine. The outside world is huge, and there are always people who can understand my ideas, so I flew to Europe. Japan has only become a place where I only come back once a year. But you have worked hard, right? Trapped in this place full of prejudice and discrimination, facing those malicious and mocking eyes, is it hard? And I can assure you, there are many people who say disgusting words in their mouths, but their eyes are full of obscenity The eyes. It's disgusting to be sanctimonious." She really admired the teenage boy in front of her. At such a young age, she has to bear the eyes that even adults can't bear.

face it all.

"As long as the people I love and value can understand, that's enough."

Kise Ryota just replied leisurely.

His eyes are gentle but firm.

"I don't want to try my best to cater to those people anymore, even if I reach the top, will they stop criticizing?" Kise shook his head.

"Noise will always exist. So I have to work hard for the people I value. It is them I should respond to."

He said calmly.

"...You have matured."

The rough stone has been polished.

As long as it is cut a little bit, it will definitely shine, right?

"Actually, I also feel that your firm is ruining you. You are not an ordinary entertainer that you see everywhere. You have your talent and talent. They don't plan to polish your talent, so you have to do it yourself. I have plans." Huachuan Songzi said seriously.

"That's why I came to you. I don't want to be a vase model for the rest of my life. I have higher expectations for myself! ──I'm not the only one!"

"I'm very glad that you have such an idea. You know, to resolutely retreat when the momentum is booming, this is something that even many adults cannot do."

Facing the teacher's words, Kise only smiled wryly.

"The current fame, applause, and everything else are only temporary, they are all illusions. I heard people say... If a worm wants to transform into a butterfly, it must submerge and endure, and then it will become something else I don’t want to crawl on the ground for the rest of my life, so I made up my mind—”

He raised his face to face the dazzling sunlight outside the window.

Light, oncoming.

"I finally understand that what I want is neither fame, nor applause, nor lighting, what I pursue...what I expect...but I just want to see where the limit of this person named Kise Ryota is. "Whether it's playing or his career.

"I want to see my own limit."

The whole person was bathed in the light, as if the light was shining from his face.

Such determination makes it impossible to look away.

Hanagawa Matsuko stared at him like that for a few seconds, and finally she nodded seriously.

"I promise you," she replied.

"I will recommend you to apply to the Paris School of Performing Arts, but you must first pass the interview at the French Education Center. After that, you can only rely on yourself for the college's exams. I can help you, but it is very limited." She herself is also in Paris Photography is taught in art universities, and people from all over the world who want to shine in the art world are frantically squeezing this narrow door.

"Thank you. That's enough."

It has been decided.

He, Ryota Kise, decides to apply for admission to the Paris School of Performing Arts in France.

A year later, he will go to Paris to study abroad.

In order to be an actor.

So a year later, he will quit the showbiz, leave Japan, and then devote himself wholeheartedly to the goal of being an actor.

The cyan ring came into view silently.

He just stared silently.

"Give me the relevant information first, have you brought your work?"

"Yes, yes. I tidied up some, and I would like to ask the teacher to give me some advice──" Kise immediately took out the data bag in the bag, and accidentally dropped all the contents inside.

Fortunately, Mr. Huachuan had a quick eye and a quick hand, and he served the whole cup of coffee in time.Otherwise, the materials he had worked so hard to prepare for many days would be ruined.

"Yes, I'm sorry, I forgot to seal the bag!" Kise flusteredly collected the data on the table.

He hurriedly sorted the files, and then a photo floated out of the files.came to the table.

Due to the photographer's occupational disease, Matsuko Huachuan picked up the photo and looked at it carefully.

"Not bad." A smile appeared on his serious face.

"It's a great photo," she admired.

In the photo, two [-]-year-old boys, wearing bathrobes, stand under a huge cherry blossom tree.

Holding hands, smiling brightly.

The flowers fell on them like that.

"Yeah, it's great." Looking at the photo, his eyes instantly softened.

Kise said so softly, with such tenderness and emotion.

Teacher Huachuan saw that expression, even with just one glance, he immediately understood.

──It's really not easy.It's really not easy to make the decision you want.The boy had made up his mind.

Just like treating a supreme treasure.

Kise carefully put the photo back into the bag.This time it was carefully held in the wallet, and it would never fall out easily again.

in case.

If the matter of going to Paris is finalized, he will tell Qingfeng personally at that time.

──"Please wait for me."

"Because I will definitely come back to you again"
