Thinking about Ryuu's first time on stage. Ryuu, who'd never performed in front of anyone before in his life. Ryuu, who grew up as a fisherman's son in Okinawa, and whose greatest aspiration is to fix his father's boat and send his brothers to university. Ryuu, who wasn't even on a popular sports team playing in front of a crowd before he joined up with TRIGGER.

Ryuu, surrounded by two of the most exacting people he's ever met, up on stage staring out at the people gathered there to see them. TRIGGER. And it doesn't matter if it's a dozen or a hundred or ten thousand, that first time it seems like a million. Two thousand eyes on you, hotter even than the spotlights making him sweat. No matter how you try to prepare yourself for that, you can never really be ready for the reality of that sort of thing.

Do you think he froze up? Got nervous and missed a cue? Tenn stepping in from behind him to make up for it, and he's smiling, because of course he's smiling, he's on stage, but Ryuu can feel how angry he's going to be later. Gaku trying to cover for his fumbled dance moves with a little extra charm, but it makes the weight on Ryuu's shoulders weigh all the more heavily.

He just wanted to fix his father's boat.

Stand on the stage. Sing. Dance. Smile. It sounds so easy.

It will be. Eventually. Easier, at least. Never easy.

#idolish7 #i7 #tsunashi ryunosuke #ryunosuke tsunashi #thinking about this with Momo too but at least he had the experience being watched in soccer #tho i dont doubt his first concert was also terrifying to him #i can see him forgetting the words and missing notes- unfamiliar as he was with music and singing #its one thing to sing in practice but another to sing live where there are no retakes or do-overs #but then again #the person momo would be most nervous to sing in front of is probably Yuki (at least at the start. at least outwardly)#so he does get to get that out of the way before he ever sets foot on stage #tho the pressure of trying not to let yuki down and debuting in front of all the fans of old re:vale must've eaten at him all the same #he does talk in one of his chats about the criticsm they faced when they debuted #because outwardly it seemed like yuki had ditched ban just so he could have a big debut with momo instead #and that fan criticsm really wears at him #hmmm maybe ill do something with that someday #~k
