Anime: Idolish7

(Y/n)'s POV

Bowing my head as a greeting, my sudden appearance was soon met with looks of surprise and disbelief. Standing upright, I held out my hand to the green-haired leader, plastering a practised yet polite smile on my face.

"Pleasure to meet you all. My name's Izumi (Y/n)."
"Oi Iori, you never told us you had a twin sister," Riku whispered.
"I saw no reason to tell you," replied Iori.
"I'm Yamato, although you probably already know who we all are," he exclaimed as he shook my hand.
"You two really do look similar. I'd say you're like the girl version of Iorin," Tamaki commented.
"Tamaki, don't be rude," Sogo scolded.
"Well, they may seem similar at first but (Y/n)'s a lot more open than Iori," Mitsuki said while pinching my cheek.
"Mitsuki, please stop. If not, I'll have no choice but to punish you."
"*laughs* Punish me? Pfft, what could you possibly do?"
"*clears throat* Micchan, look at how short you are. People could mistake you for a child amongst all the adults."
"O-oi!"

I cracked a small smile, effortlessly avoiding my older brother's hands as they tried to stop the embarrassing teasing from coming out of my mouth. I grabbed Iori's arm and used his body as a shield to act as a barrier of sorts against Mitsuki's irritation.

"Mitsuki, you should know better than to provoke her and (Y/n), don't get into fights with your older brother. You have to maintain your posture to show how childish he is," Iori exclaimed.
"Eh?! Hmph, teaming up against me I see. Fine then, at least I have the rest of Idolish7 on my side," replied Mitsuki.
"Uh actually, I'd prefer not to get involved," Yamato said.
"*laughs* You three are really funny," commented Riku.
"What a beautiful lady you are. Would you like to go on a date with me?" Nagi asked.
"No, thank you. Save your love for the right girl."

I turned once I felt a soft tug on my sleeve. Tamaki looked down at my face with a lollipop in his mouth, and gestured towards the door. I raised an eyebrow but my confusion was only met with a sigh from Sogo.

"He wants king pudding," he answered.
"Yotsuba-san, you can buy that yourself, can you not?"
"Yeah but Iorin said that you were going to pay us a visit so I thought you were here for a job as our assistant manager or something...and I thought we had to ask so..."
"Tamaki, she's just here to see her brothers' friends," Sogo said.

A light blush formed on the tall male's cheeks as he looked away and nibbled on the lollipop. Unable to control myself for any longer, I burst out into a flurry of giggles.

The others looked my way, seemingly surprised at my sudden outburst of laughter. Smiling slightly, I headed to the door and gestured for Tamaki to follow me.

"Don't worry about paying me back. Just consider this as a gift of appreciation."
"Ha..."

As I waited for the vending machine to chuck out the pudding, I received a call from the person I had least wanted to see, especially not on the same day I had finally managed to meet the source of my brothers' happiness.

"(Y/n)-chan, your phone's ringing," Tamaki pointed out as he grabbed the pudding, "Thanks for this by the way."
"Tell the others I'll be right back."
"Mmhmm."

I immediately headed towards the door that led outside, impatiently waiting for the revolver to spin faster. As I stepped outside, I reluctantly answered the call, the colour draining from my face as the caller's voice flowed into my ear.

"Hey sweetheart."
"Neo (made-up character), what reason do you have to call me? We're over."
"Come on, I made a mistake, okay? That girl came onto me. I didn't-"
"We're done. I won't make an exception for the guy who intentionally cheated on me. I know you only used me because I had a stable future as well as brothers who were idols."
"(Y/n), you-"
"Get lost."
"I'm afraid I can't do that."

I turned around, my eyes widening in surprise. Neo smirked as I backed away from the guy. He seemed to take pleasure in my distress, his figure blocking off all my possible escape routes.

I stared at him with a stoic expression, mentally puking from the strong stench of alcohol clinging to his body as he pinned me to the wall of the building.

"You're drunk. Get off me."
"Not a chance, sweetheart."

I lifted my leg up in an attempt to kick his privates, but he was faster than I was, catching me off guard with the quick speed in which he exercised in viciously pushing my leg back down.

Clenching my eyes shut, I waited - dreaded - for him to kiss me but all I heard was a pained groan as his hold on me loosened. Timidly opening my eyes, I gasped in surprise as Tamaki pulled me out of his now loosened grasp.

"Who the hell are you?" asked Neo.
"Why does that matter? Who are you? Why are you hurting (Y/n)-chan? I came to check on her because she was taking too long for a simple call. Who knew I'd find a pervert trying to kiss her?"
"Why you! She's my girlfriend. Is it wrong for me to-"
"'Girlfriend'? I-I'm her boyfriend so get lost."
"You? Pfft, what a joke."
"S-so what if I'm her boyfriend? You must be her ex. She wants nothing more to do with jerks like you."

I let out a small scream as Neo threw a punch at me, angered that I had 'moved onto a new guy'. Tamaki wasted no time at all and punched Neo's gut, making him double over in pain.

"Don't you dare hurt innocent girls again. I don't know what I'll do if I catch you hurting (Y/n)-chan again."

Tamaki took my hand and led me away from my attacker. Once we had gotten inside, I immediately bowed and thanked the idol for his assistance.

Gasping for air, I closed my eyes and tried taking deep breaths to calm myself. Tamaki took a hold of my arms, seemingly confused yet concerned for my wellbeing. Shaking my head to dispel his worry, I managed a small smile but the trembling in my body had not stopped.

"I-I'm sorry, I don't do w-well with violence."
"(Y/n)...chan?"
"It's p-post traumatic stress d-disorder."

I felt his strong arms wrap around my shaking body as he hid my face in his chest. I felt safe...safe from the violence that threatened to consume me...

"Now you can't see the violence...so um there's nothing to be scared of. You have more friends than enemies, (Y/n)-chan."
"Thank you..."
