Work Text:
The cameras zeroed in onto the 5 members of F/ACE as they stood with their interviewer at the red carpet, cameras clicking and flashing with every millimetre of a step the boys took.
"Yes, Haruko-san, tonight I have the members of the hit boy-band F/ACE — Keito, Natsuki, Rintaro, Tamon and Ori!"
The 5 boys waved into the camera, Natsuki being the most obviously hyper one, jittery on his feet, while Rintaro held up his hand casually.
"1, 2, 3, Eyes on you, we are F/ACE!"
They chorused together, bowing towards the camera. The interviewer turned to face them as they finished their introductions, making sure the microphone was close.
"So, recently, you posted a room tour video to the official F/ACE account, and your E/YES are wondering who cleans your rooms! I have a question submitted by 'tamonisagod67', reading "who cleans F/ACE's rooms? ꉂ(˵˃ ᗜ ˂˵) I bet it's Keito-kun!""
Natsuki barges his head through the gap between Ori and Tamon's, almost giving his juniors a heart attack. Ori elbows the elder in the ribs
"Ah! Well, actually our manager hires a cleaning service, so she cleans most of our stuff up!"
Natsuki answered with a smile plastered on his face, bouncing on his heels.
Little did they know what a fuck-up Natsuki had just committed.
"Cool! So, about why you're here today..."

And that was only after 30 minutes and everyone had seen the clip.
Utage stared bewildered at her screen, processing the comments.
Am I getting death threats… for a having a job?
”…selfish! How could an E/YES do this?”
The sound of Yuiko’s voice pulled Utage out of her head.
”I know right! She should pay by ceasing to exist. Right, Utage?”
“Uh… yeah”
NO??
”We should find out who that girl is, then we’ll get our revenge!”
Riko says as the bell rings, Utages’ best friends leaping up and running out the door of their classroom and the school gate, Utage trailing along behind them.
What… the actual?
”Oi, Utage”
She swivels on her heel to find where the voice came from — a man standing at the concrete pillar with a traffic cone over his head. Or, in other words, Natsuki.
”Oh. Hi, Natsuki.”
Utage’s face looked at his blankly, her eyes zoned out. The loud whispers of her classmates discussing this housekeeper was sending her insane.
”Look, I just wan’a say sorry, I ‘idn’t mean no harm. Slipped my mind how insane the fans are.”
”Oh, no, it’s all good. Tamon messaged me to say that Mr Fujita was already drafting an apology letter clarifying that I’m actually 71 years old…”
”Well, we can’t go any younger because everyone knows F/ACE”
Utage would swear in her life that if Natsuki had long hair he would’ve flipped it right then.
”Riight… anyway I have two friends to catch up to, so I’ll see you around?”
”Oh, yeah”
Natsuki took a puff of a cigarette, watching as Utage ran away after Yuiko and Riko. Ah, to be young again.
Hello, this is Ace Entertainment.
We would like to start by saying the actions of our artist Natsuki had no ill intent and was simply just a slip-up.
Secondly, we would like to address our housekeeper. For legal reasons we won’t be revealing her name, but rest assured she has no romantic interest in any members as she is happily married at age 71.
We thank all the E/YES for their ongoing support and concern,
signed,
F/ACE.
