Kira's face went from black to green. He took a step back and let go of Andy's collar. The latter dropped on his knees. His chubby legs were jelly, he had never seen a person with such murderous intent. He seriously thought he was going to die.
What's wrong with Kira Atsui? Did the Mad Hatter costume turn him lunatic?? Andy put his gaze on the Dark Prince and thought he was dreaming. The killing intent was gone, the Mad Hatter looked like someone who just saw... a ghost?
Andy rubbed his eyes and the Prince was back with his charming face. Huh? Was he imagining things?
On the other part of the garden, Sano was standing before Kuran and Moreno, his hands spread open. The Twins' expressions were ugly.
"Back off, Sano." Moreno's eyes were blazing red.
"No, you guys are going to start a fight and Kira will take the blame."
"Kira is never the type to start something. When he does, it's always for a good reason and we HAVE to be always there beside him." The other Twin was glaring at Lee Yuki.
None of the GreenEast member saw the choking incident because it was too quick and natural. Sano was actually very worried about Kira but he could smell the ticking bomb coming from the Twins if he ever let them go.
"Sorry guys, but I'm not moving."
"Then we'll beat you up first, Sano."
"...."
Kira turned his head and spotted his ex lover rushing towards them with pale face, Ritsuo the Cheshire Cat followed from behind with his purple-pink suspender pants and magenta shirt that shaped his beautiful tall form and cat-ears. You could tell he had a hard time moving as he was still not done with the fitting.
"Kira, Andy!" Panting, she called them.
The Mad Hatter reached out his arms to stop her from going to Andy, he clutched her shoulders and met her in the eye. Cold sweat ran through his brow. She recognized this expression, it's the face her ex-beau had whenever he was panicking.
"Shizu.." Do you know about him? What in the world are you thinking, why are you hiding a person like that here??
Kira's words were stuck in his throat. She could feel the grip on her shoulders got firmer. Kira was always good in hiding his emotions. He was blessed with the most angelic face that always appeared calm to most people. This panic face that seemed serene to Andy, she noticed it too.
"What happened Kira? You were coughing like crazy. Are you okay?" Her sweet voice put a stop to his train of thoughts. Ritsuo watched silently as he also waited for Kira.
"He's fine." Lee Yuki was the one to answer with a dark expression on his face as he saw the pair of hand on her shoulders.
Her eyes widened when they landed on Andy, her jaw dropped on the floor. "Andy! Did you get hurt?!"
Kira felt the unwanted curious eyes that fell on them. He cursed under his breath then immediately removed his hands. He took a step back from her and diverted his gaze. Crap. What if these people gave her more hard times because of him?
He beat Shizu to stretch out an arm and offered a hand to Andy. "I am sorry, did I startle you?"
There goes Kira's killer smile that caused Andy to go from white to all pink, forgetting everything that just happened. There's no way anyone could escape his heavenly charm. That simple smile that never failed to make any woman fall for him.
"Yes. I mean, no I'm fine." Andy couldn't function properly but eventually managed to accept Kira's hand. The latter pulled the guy twice his size up like he was just a feather, helping him stand and steady himself.
Lee Yuki raised a brow. If Kira Atsui ever came to him for a fight, he should take his brute strength into consideration. From the moment he threw Andy with raw force and the way he pulled him up like he was nothing definitely said something.
Is he as strong as Ryeowook - Hyung? He wondered. Nah, I'm stronger. He stubbornly concluded in a split second.
"I'm a bit exhausted. I didn't get enough sleep last night so I was falling and ended up pushing Andy. I'm deeply sorry." Kira Atsui apologized and Lee Yuki could tell that everyone swallowed that lame excuse as a whole.
Lee Yuki scoffed disapprovingly and earned a glare from Shizu. The former zipped his lips and shifted his gaze to Kira, quietly observing him.
That Kira Atsui was definitely ready to murder him. Why battle a fight that he can't finish? Unless..
"Are you feeling better now?" She asked, hesitantly as she studied his face.
Which he replied with a nod. "Yeah, I'm fine." He stretched his nape and fixed the necktie on his collar. His gaze was locked on the arrogant face that he loathed so much, he almost puked.
"See?" Lee Yuki threw the quirkiest smile, he moved swiftly towards the milk girl and dragged her away. The former was protesting but since Kira seemed reluctant to be seen with her she just complied with Lee Yuki.
Andy too excused himself leaving 2 Kumo Bell members who stood still like statues.
Ritsuo who had been present decided to shut his mouth cause he knew Kira was someone who prefered to talk in a quiet place. People still had their curious eyes on the shining Mad Hatter after Lee Yuki left.
Well it was hard not to attract attention when the Mad Hatter AND Lee Yuki were spotted together. Even Ritsuo felt annoyed when he watched the two of them standing together. How could a mere commoner be able to shine equally as their most-loved Prince? Ritsuo was not the type to discriminate people but his pride as a Star did get hurt a little.
He then noticed the Vocalist closing and opening his palms. Ritsuo could see the price that Kira paid for putting his Prince-mask on after causing a scene.
"Dude, your hands are bleeding. Your red gloves can't even hide it." Ritsuo casually spoke as he saw the red gloves uneven color.
Why acted all tough after destroying a boxing punch-bag? Moving and yanking the big guy from Le Sucre with that messed up hands. No matter how strong you are, your hands will eventually use up if you keep losing your mind. Ritsuo thought to himself.
"That's why I needed help to put this tie on." His voice was irritated yet he was still able to maintain that heavenly bearing as the people around him were still gawking at him.
A chuckle slipped from the leader's soft lips. "I can help you."
"I'm done with men helping me with ties."
And the leader replied with a lazy shrug.
Ritsuo turned his head towards the Twins. Moreno was trying to hold Kuran from kicking Sano. The White Rabbit just looked at the Twins in disbelief, as he was dressed in a nice white tux and a pair of hare-ears. A golden clock necklace was hanging nicely on his neck as he wondered if he should throw the accessory to their heads. Probably they would start making sense.
The costumes for the Tweedles consisted of yellow trousers and colorful paints that decorated the Twins' sexy upper body. Their hair were sprayed with yellow and orange color. Unfortunately, those paints needed some extreme retouch as the Twins messed it up from quarreling with the White Rabbit.
"Brother, I told you I'll beat Sano instead. You're still limping from the threadmill, let me do it!" - Moreno hugged his Twin from the back which Kuran replied with strong determination.
"I'll just kick him softly, then you can finish him! Deal?"
"NO DEAL." Ritsuo was the one to answer with a slap on their heads, panting as he sprinted to the troublemakers.
Unlike Ritsuo, Kira did not move from his spot. He watched quietly from afar as Ritsuo scolded the troublemakers. He knew the Twins were agitated because of him. He had to calm those wild cats before they cause more trouble.
But his eyes wouldn't follow his brain and still wandered to look for his ex - lover until Kenji from Le Sucre came to help him finish the fitting.
