Chapter Text
Yuu was walking towards Sam’s shop, holding Grim like a plushie, when Vil approached them.
“Hello, Yuu.”
”Hi, Vil.”
”Heya, Vil!”
”Yuu, Grim. Could the two of you assist me with some tasks?”
”Sure!”
”But henchmen! We’re going to buy-“
”Grim, that can wait.”
Grim glare at Yuu, annoyed that he couldn’t get any tuna, when Vil speak again.
”I need you two to be background characters for this one scene, in this short film that Film Research Club is working on.”
”Okay.. Where is this taking place?”
”I’ll take you there.”
Vil then took Yuu’s wrist, taking them to the…

Pomefiore dorm.
After they had entered into the lounge, Yuu greeted Ortho who was helping with the lighting, Yuu asked a question.
”What are me and Grim doing in this scene exactly?”
”You two would be simply reading this book while our main actors talk.”
Vil then handed them a book, which was a simple fashion book, which was apparently owned by a student named ‘Vix Monarch’.
“And before you ask, yes, Vix doesn’t mind me borrowing his book for this scene.”
“.. Alright then.”
Vil started directing the two main actors as Yuu and Grim looked at the book contents, which they seemly browsed through it.
”Man.. This is REALLY boring..” Grim whispered back at Yuu.
”Listen, we won’t be here for long, so it’s fine.” Yuu whispered back.
Grim sighed before looking back at the book.
Yuu distantly listened to the conversation that the actors were having, since they weren’t interested at all.
Their mind was.. Wandering as they thought.
They fell their eyes close right before Vil yelled,
”Cut!”
Yuu flinched up as Grim looked up.
”Alright. Everyone, this scene is good. Nothing extraordinary or anything…”
“All great, are we going to repeat this??” Grim whispered.
“We will redo this scene.”
Yuu sighed as they saw Grim glaring at Vil.
”It’s fine, Grim. It’s not like we’re doing anything speaking lines-“
”Yuu, Grim.”
Yuu and Grim turns their head at Vil.
“Could you two make small talk in the background as our main actors talk? It will make this short film more believable if you two talked instead of sitting there, looking at a book which you have no interest in.”
”Uh- Sure.”
”Myahhhh… How much longer will we be here…”
”Grim, just be patient.” Yuu scolded lightly.
Vil turned his attention towards the others as he critique their performance.

After Vil was satisfied with the scene, Yuu gave the book back to Vix, who thanked Yuu before focusing his attention on the clothing.
Yuu and Grim planned to leave when they met up with Rook and Epel.
”Ah, why isn’t it, Tricker and Monsieur Fuzzball!”
”Hello, Yuu. Grim.”
”Hi, you two. We were about to leave.”
“Hm, okay. I would have liked it if you stayed for a bit…”
“Well, I could-“
”No, minion! I thought we would go to Sam’s!”
”Going to Sam’s shop can wait. Besides, it’s fine..”
“Really? We were here for almost a hour! Come on, let’s go!”
Grim tug at Yuu’s leg, which they simply watched as he failed.
“Grim, we can stay a bit longer. Sam’s doesn’t close until…”
‘When does Sam’s close again?’
As they thought, they suddenly felt lightheaded…
****
Epel, on the ground, blood dripping from his mouth, burns all over his body.
Rook attempting to help despite his burns, tears flowing down.
Vil fallen to the ground, a look of betrayal and sadness in his face as he stares at Yuu.
“Let your sorrows out.”
****
”Yuu, are you okay?” Rook placed a hand on their shoulder.
”Yeah.. Just.. Tried.”
”Hmm..”
Rook had a doubtful look in his eyes, however he didn’t push it.
”If you say so.”
Yuu smiled at Rook right before they took Grim by his collar and walked off.
“Yuu… Are you lying?”
”No, Grim. I don’t know what you’re talking about.” They lied.
