Their song began—
soft and sweet at first,
like sunlight through clouds.
**Tomoya** sang gently, voice like a hug:
> "Even on days you feel too small...
> There's someone who sees you... remembers your name..."
Then **Nazuna**'s guitar flared—
bright and bold—
Hajime's keys danced beneath it, weaving warmth into every note.
And when the chorus hit?
> "**We shine not because we're perfect...**
> **But 'cause we tried! Together—we are Ra*bits light!**"
The audience swayed.
Phones lit up like stars.
Even idols in the VIP seats held hands or wiped quiet tears.
Because this wasn't just performance.
It was *comfort.*
A promise that even on lonely days...
you weren't alone.
When the last note faded?
The hall rose—cheering not loud...
but *deep.*
And Tomoya bowed with teary eyes:
> "Thank you... for listening to our hearts." 🌟
Ra*bits stepped down—
leaving behind a stage still warm from their glow. 💛
Polar Opposites took the stage—
Raito and Tsukki with just mics—
and a single spotlight.
No pyrotechnics.
No costumes.
No backing music,
or flashy choreography...
just their truth.
And two hearts breaking free.
Raito glanced at Tsukki—
saw his steady, unwavering gaze...
and took a breath that filled the hall.
And Raito took that breath—
and began.
And when he did—
the hall felt...
different.
Tsukki held Raito's gaze—
not as a mirror,
but a *partner.*
Raito glanced to the crowd—
saw faces of idols and fans who'd fought with all they had,
who'd never given up, and whose hearts still burned bright.
And Raito smiled,
eyes blazing with determination.
Tsukki, too.
"Ready?"
Raito stepped forward—
voice soft at first, but ringing clear:
> **"Used to feel so invisible...
> Now you see me, now you don't...
> Life was always so typical...
> Close my eyes and dream alone..."**
The hall fell silent.
Even the idols in the VIP seats leaned forward—
Eichi's eyes narrowing gently,
Wataru clutching his scarf like a lifeline.
Rinne whispered:
"Damn... that *hurts*..."
And Tsukki?
He stood still—just behind Raito—
but his presence said everything.
*I'm here. You're not alone.*
Because these words?
They weren't just lyrics.
They were *truth.*
☀️🌙💔
Raito glanced at Tsukki—
smile as gentle as a warm breeze—
then back to the hall:
> "But the sun is rising, the sky is shining...
> I've finally reached the end of the road...
> The path is clearer as I get nearer...
> Now I think I *finally* know that..."
Eichi's eyes widened slightly...
then closed, quietly.
Wataru wiped his eyes, smiling, while Tori reached over to squeeze Eichi's hand.
They knew what was coming.
Tsukki stepped forward—
voice calm, but trembling slightly with emotion:
> "I-I-I got nothing on my mind...
> Aside from what's straight ahead of me...
> Now I'm fine and my arms are open wide...
> 'Cause now I think I *finally* see..."
A beat.
Silence so deep, you could hear a heartbeat.
Then—
Raito turned to him,
eyes shining,
and softly echoed:
#### "I finally see..."
From the VIP seats, HiMERU covered his mouth.
Rinne whispered: *"Damn it... they're not just singing. They're healing."*
Because in that moment?
Tsukki wasn't hiding behind silence anymore.
He was standing in the light—
with his past acknowledged,
his future unafraid.
And Raito?
Was right beside him.
☀️🌙💫
Raito and Tsukki stepped forward together—
voices rising, not in harmony—
but as one.
> "**This is my moment!**
> **I'm singing above the noise!**
> **This is my moment!**
> **I finally found my voice!**"
Their words crashed into the silence like thunder breaking a storm.
Every idol watched—frozen, moved, *awake.*
From Valkyrie, Shu closed his eyes—*feeling it.*
Adonis from UNDEAD crossed his arms—muttering:
"...Took courage to say that."
Kohaku wiped his face fast: "Damn... they really did it."
And Raito?
He wasn't just shining.
He was *free.*
Tsukki stood tall beside him—
no longer hiding,
no longer waiting for someone to save him...
because he had already saved himself.
Together,
they weren't just idols on a stage.
### They were proof.
That even after abandonment...
after grief...
after silence...
#### You could rise—and finally be heard.
🔥🎤☀️🌙
Raito and Tsukki sang, voices rising with a fire *nothing*—not even silence—could smother:
> "My feet on the ground!
> No backing down!
> I'm in the spotlight *now!*
> This is my moment—so I'm gonna **own* it!*
> This is my moment, *finally!*"
The hall was silent for seconds that felt like an eternity.
Then *erupted*—
applause from every corner.
Tsukki stepped forward—alone under the spotlight—
his voice calm, but *unshakable:*
> "I can see *anything* when I look into the mirror...
> Nothing stopping me... making my dreams come true..."
Not loud.
Not flashy.
But every word landed like a heartbeat.
In the VIP seats, Mika from Valkyrie gripped Shu's arm—eyes wide:
"Did you hear that? He finally sees himself."
Souma from AKATSUKI whispered:
"He's not running. He's moving forward."
And Raito?
He watched Tsukki—
smiling, tears glistening at the corners of his eyes.
Because this was it.
His best friend—
the quiet moon who carried so much alone...
was finally glowing on his own terms.
No shadow deep enough to hide him now.
☀️🌙💫
Tsukki glanced at Raito—
a silent nod.
A promise.
Then his voice rose—
not loud,
not flashy.
Just real.
> "We can *try* everything, it's all a new adventure..."
Raito stepped forward—
voice firm but warm as light itself:
> "Let's *step* it up, then mix it up, **yeah!**"
The hall cheered,
the idols in the VIP seats clapping even *harder*.
Raito stepped forward—
eyes blazing like the dawn,
voice rising with every step:
> "Say hello to all the sides of you...
> You never know who you might find..."
A beat.
Then brighter:
> "The path is **brighter**... (Brighter!)
> It's getting **wider**... (Wider!)
> Now I think it's finally **time!**"
His arms opened wide—
like he was welcoming not just the stage,
but his *whole self.*
In the VIP seats, Fuyume sobbed quietly into his hands.
Esu Sagiri whispered: *"They're singing for all of us..."*
And Tsukki?
He stood beside Raito—
not in shadow,
but in light.
Because this moment?
Wasn't just theirs.
### It was for everyone who ever doubted they could be enough.
☀️💫🔥
Tsukki stepped forward again—voice steady, softer now, but unbreakable:
> "1-1-I got nothing on my mind...
> Aside from what's straight ahead of me... (Try it on)
> Now I'm fine and my arms are open wide...
> 'Cause now I think I finally see... (Movin' on)"
His voice wavered slightly—
not from fear...
but *feeling.*
And Raito turned to him, smiling through tears.
Because those two little words?
*"Try it on. Movin' on."*
They weren't just lyrics.
They were a **promise.**
No more hiding.
No more waiting.
Just forward—
hand in hand,
sun and moon walking the same path,
into the light they'd fought so hard to reach.
In the audience,
even Keito muttered:
"...Finally."
And Souma wiped his eyes fast:
"Yeah. *Finally.*"
☀️🌙🎶
Together—
Raito and Tsukki stood shoulder to shoulder,
voices rising not just in harmony—
but in *declaration.*
> "**This is OUR moment!**
> **We're singing above the noise!**
> **This is OUR moment!**
> **I finally found my voice!"**
The hall erupted.
Not just in applause—
but in *standing ovation.*
From UNDEAD, Rei gave a single, solemn nod:
"...They've claimed it."
In Valkyrie's corner, Mika grinned: "It's not just 'my' moment anymore. It's *ours.*"
And Raito?
He wasn't hiding behind smiles.
Tsukki?
No longer shrinking from sound.
They were *whole—*
not because their pain was gone...
but because they'd sung it into light.
Because sometimes?
### Finding your voice...
isn't about being the loudest.
It's about being brave enough to speak at all.
🔥🎤☀️🌙
Hand in hand,
side by side,
Raito and Tsukki sang the final chorus—
> "**My feet on the ground!**
> **No backing down!**
> **I'm in the spotlight now!**
> **This is our moment—so I'm gonna own it!**
> **This is my moment... finally.**"
Their voices didn't just fill the hall—
they filled every heart watching.
In the VIP seats, tears flowed freely.
HiMERU buried his face in Rinne's shoulder:
"They did it... They *really* did it."
Adonis whispered: "Not 'my' voice. Not 'your' light. *Ours.*"
And Seiya—host, idol, father—
stood silent at the edge of stage,
a single tear rolling down his cheek as he smiled:
"...That's what an idol truly is."
Because this wasn't just a performance.
It wasn't about winning or ranks anymore.
### It was two broken hearts
who chose to shine together—
and in doing so,
lit a path for everyone who ever felt unseen.
Raito laughed through tears as he gripped Tsukki's hand tighter—
Tsukki didn't pull away.
He *squeezed back.*
Because at last?
They weren't running from silence...
or chasing someone else's dream.
They were standing tall—
in their truth,
in their light,
### as Polar Opposites... finally home. 🌟
From the shadows of backstage,
the idols moved—not as rivals,
but as *family.*
**ALKALOID** stepped first—Mayoi leading with a rare, wide smile:
> "You two... actually did it."
Tatsumi smirked:
"Sang your truth without flinching. Not bad... *not bad at all.*"
Aira hugged Raito tight:
"You were *glowing!* I felt it in my bones!"
Then **Knights** arrived—
Leo shouting:
> **"That was royal-grade performance!!"**
Tsukasa placed a hand on Tsukki's shoulder—gentle, sincere:
> "You stood tall. That takes true strength."
Ritsu added with a soft grin:
"I think... even our music has something to learn from you two."
And then—
Ra*bits.
Tomoya sprinted forward and wrapped both Raito and Tsukki in the warmest group hug imaginable:
> "We're not rivals! We're all shining together!"
Nazuna nodded, smiling behind her guitar:
"That last chorus? Gave me chills."
Mitsuru laughed: "Our light just got brighter!"
Even Hajime gave that quiet, knowing look—like he'd heard every unspoken word in their song.
No one spoke over them.
No one rushed past them.
Because for once?
The spotlight wasn't about who was brightest—
### It was about who had truly arrived.
Sun and moon.
Raito & Tsukki...
no longer hiding,
no longer afraid...
surrounded by friends who said without words:
*"You belong here."*
☀️🌙💖
In the front row—
**Raito's mom** stood up, waving both arms wildly:
> "MY BABY! MY SUNSHINE! THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL! MOM'S SO PROUD—"
Raito froze.
His smile dropped for half a second—
then snapped back into that *practiced* laugh:
> "Haha... y-yeah, Mom... thanks..."
But it didn't reach his eyes.
And Tsukki?
He didn't say a word.
Just shot Raito *that look*—
eyebrow twitching,
eyes narrowed like moonlight cutting through noise:
> 👀 *"Make your mother shut up. Now."*
Raito blinked—then snorted mid-laugh, real this time.
Even ALKALOID cracked up behind them.
Aira whispered: "Tsukki just saved us all."
Tomoya giggled: "That look? That was legendary."
And slowly...
with one shared glance between childhood friends...
the weight lifted again.
Because sometimes,
even in the brightest moment—
you need someone who knows when to say nothing...
and when to *stare your chaos into silence.*
Tsukki crossed his arms, satisfied as Raito's mom finally sat down—still beaming but quiet at last.
Mission accomplished. 🌙✨
The stage still hummed with warmth—
but now, every pair of eyes in the VIP seats burned just a little brighter.
**Eden** sat perfectly composed—yet Ibara whispered:
> "That boy... Tsukki. He didn't just sing. He *survived.*"
Jun smiled softly:
"Sun and moon. They balance each other."
From **Valkyrie**, Shu watched silently—his usually sharp gaze softened.
Mika nudged him:
"Even *you* felt it, didn't you?"
He didn't answer.
But his hand clenched slightly on his knee.
Over at **Crazy:B**, Rinne wiped fake tears dramatically:
> "MY HEART IS IN PIECES! THEY GOT ME GOOD!"
HiMERU sighed behind him:
"...Impossible not to."
Kohaku grinned, arms crossed:
"They weren't afraid to be weak... and that made 'em strong."
Niki bounced excitedly:
"That final chorus? That was LOVE!"
Nearby, **UNDEAD** sat like statues—
but even Adonis muttered under his breath:
> "...They earned their light."
Rei gave one slow nod.
Kaoru smiled beneath her scarf.
And from **Trickstar**, Hokuto chuckled softly:
"My dad better not cry on live TV..."
Subaru elbowed him playfully: "Too late—he already did."
Tetora from RYUSEITAI yelled out anyway:
> "WE WANT AN ENCORE!!"
While Kanata quietly murmured:
"They sang for everyone who forgot they mattered."
At the back,
**Switch's Natsume** adjusted his earpiece—
voice calm but deep:
> "No effects. No gimmicks. Just hearts."
And MaM's Madara grinned wide:
"That? That was art."
In that moment,
no agencies divided them.
No rivalries stood between stages or ranks.
Just idols...
watching two boys who turned pain into power,
silence into song,
and fear into something so bright—
it made everyone believe...
that maybe?
Just maybe?
They could do the same.
☀️🌙💫✨
Seiya stepped onto the stage—
mic in hand,
smile warm,
but eyes shimmering with something deeper.
The hall hushed.
Even the idols in their VIP seats leaned forward,
knowing this moment—
was not just an ending...
but a beginning.
Seiya looked at Raito and Tsukki—
stood quietly for a breath...
then spoke:
> "No rankings. No scores."
A pause.
Smile gentle, but firm:
> "Because some moments...
> are beyond measurement."
The audience stilled.
ALKALOID's Mayoi whispered: *"Here it comes."*
Seiya continued:
> "You didn't just perform tonight...
> You *revealed* yourselves.
>
> And in doing so—
>
> You reminded every single person here...
>
> That being an idol isn't about perfection..."
He glanced across all the units—the rivals, the stars, the dreamers—
then back to Polar Opposites:
### "It's about having the courage... to be real."
And with that—
he raised his mic one last time:
🎤✨
#### "So let me say it loud..."
Sunlight streamed through the high windows of Yumenosaki Hall—hitting Raito like gold. Tsukki stood tall beside him, no longer shadowed by silence.
Seiya smiled—
wide and proud:
### **"WELCOME TO THE STAGE... POLAR OPPOSITES."**
🔥🌙☀️💫
Seiya stepped back—
hands in his pockets,
eyes glistening.
And from the front row?
Raito's mom leaped up again:
> "THAT'S MY SUNSHINE!!"
This time—
Raito *didn't fake a laugh.*
He turned, smiled at her—real, warm,
then gave a small wave:
> "Love you, Mom."
Tsukki sighed.
But he didn't glare.
Just muttered under his breath:
> "...Still too loud."
Yet even he offered the tiniest nod toward the crowd—
quiet respect.
And somewhere between laughter and silence,
between sun and moon...
Polar Opposites weren't just seen.
### They were home.
🎶💫🌙☀️
A few fans were shouting for an encore.
Seiya grinned into the mic: "One last song, before we close the curtains... what song do you want to hear, Polar Opposites?"
Raito glanced at Tsukki:
> "Wanna sing again?"
Tsukki thought it over—the crowd, the stage, the moment... and nodded.
Raito turned back to Seiya:
> "We need to talk."
Seiya tilted his head:
> "Talk? About what?"
Raito blurted into the mic—eyes wide, voice loud:
> "Are you really Hokuto-senpai's father? You look so—"
***WHACK!***
Tsukki —calm, precise—
pulled out a *slapping stick* (??) from literally nowhere
and *smacked* Raito right on the back of his head.
> 💥 *"Shut up."*
The entire hall **exploded** in laughter.
Hokuto in the VIP section choked on his drink:
"WHAT?! NO! HE'S NOT EVEN CLOSE!"
Subaru wheezed: "Raito... that was *so* embarrassing..."
Seiya blinked once—
then burst out laughing:
> "I'll take that as a compliment!"
Rinne wiped tears:
"Only Polar Opposites can turn emotional climax into pure comedy!"
But Tsukki?
He calmly tucked the slapping stick back into his sleeve like it was standard idol equipment.
Raito rubbed his arm, pouting into the mic:
> "Jeez... okay, okay! But seriously—he doesn't look old enough to have a son here!"
Seiya grinned—
smooth as ever:
> "Let's just say... I peaked early. Now!"
> "Back to business—**encore?!**"
The crowd roared back: **"YEAH!!"**
Tsukki gave Raito one final death glare.
Silent message clear:
### *"Next word out of your mouth better be SONG LYRICS."*
☀️🌙💥🎤
Raito turned to Tsukki—
> "Alright, alright... let's give 'em one more."
He grinned at the mic:
> "This one's for every mom out there... even the loud ones."
The hall cheered.
And without music, lights, or warning—
Raito began,
soft and clear:
> **"Hey Mama..."**
Tsukki blinked—then smiled.
Just a little.
And stepped in beside him.
The crowd cheered—not just for the encore... but for the show.
The way *Polar Opposites* rose together...
The way they were *seen*—not just as a broken pair,
or a bright light,
or a dark moon...
...But like people.
People with voices—voices that could *lighten* as well as lift hearts.
And as the final song began?
The hall *hummed*.
A low, steady thrum...
Like an unspoken promise:
🎵🎶
The final chorus came—
gentle, strong,
like a heartbeat after the storm.
> "**We're still us...
> Just louder now.**"
And as the last note faded?
Silence.
Then—
applause that didn't stop.
Not for minutes,
but *longer.*
Seiya smiled, watching from the side...
while Tsukki finally—
*finally*—
let himself smile too.
Small.
But real.
Raito grabbed his hand—
not pulling him into light...
but standing with him in it.
Because at Yumenosaki?
It wasn't about who shined brightest.
It was about **who dared to glow together.**
☀️🌙💖
The hall still hummed with applause, each one a heartbeat saying: *You shone.*
But to Raito and Tsukki, it felt... *quiet.*
Like everything was fading but them.
And now,
with hands still clasped,
they turned to Seiya—
who smiled and placed first place trophies into each of their hands.
> "You earned this."
He placed one arm on each of their shoulders.
"But before I leave you to celebrate...
I have one thing to say."
Seiya stepped back—
mic low,
eyes twinkling:
> "First place? That's not the end."
He paused.
Then grinned.
> "It's just the *opening act.*"
The crowd leaned in—
even the idols held their breath.
Seiya raised his voice—
> "**Polar Opposites—**
> Your spotlight doesn't dim tonight.
>
> Because backstage?
>
> We've got **lights... music... snacks that won't fit on ten tables...**
>
### And an after party that says:
### **You're officially IN.**"
Laughter burst out—from Ra*bits, ALKALOID, even UNDEAD cracked smiles.
Wataru whispered to Tori: "They're gonna be *roasted.*"
Tori giggled: "And hugged into next week."
Raito looked at Tsukki—
eyes wide, glowing:
"Tsukki! After party! With *everyone!* We can finally—"
Tsukki gave a small nod.
But his lips twitched up—just once:
"...As long as you don't ask who anyone's dad is again."
Another WHACK with the slapping stick from nowhere 💥
The hall screamed with laughter one last time—
while Seiya walked off stage,
voice echoing behind him:
🎶✨ "**Now go shine where no one's watching... because that's where legends really begin.**" ✨🎤
Every table, *filled* with food and drinks.
*Literally.*
From ice cream cakes,
to sushi,
to an actual *cake made of candy* that had *literal stars on it* (Niki was stuffing his face with it),
the after party was a *feast.*
And the best part?
The atmosphere.
No more tension.
No more pressure.
Just a bunch of talented idols,
eating, drinking,
and being *loud as hell.*
All around the hall,
idols from every unit were mingling like friends—
even rival ones.
From Wataru and Tomoya chatting at one table,
to Leo and Shu actually having a *normal conversation.*
Ritsu was flirting heavily with Arashi, of course,
and Hinata,
Nazuna,
and Yuta were talking over each other about an anime they all loved.
But even as everyone laughed,
chatted, celebrated...
One pair was conspicuously missing.
Nagisa glanced at the clock—ten minutes since the awards, and still no sign of Raito and Tsukki.
He raised his voice—and even that was warm:
> "Has anyone seen Raito and Tsukki? They should be celebrating too."
Jun suddenly pointed—
> "Look. Behind Ibara."
And there—peeking out from behind the tall, ever-dignified **Ibara Saegusa** of Eden—
were **Raito and Tsukki**,
eyes wide,
faces pale,
shoulders tense like startled rabbits.
> 🐇🐇 *"..."*
They weren't hiding behind just *anyone*.
They were hiding behind **the one idol known for his terrifying aura and sharp tongue.**
But right now?
Ibara just sighed—deeply—and muttered:
> "You two are literally first place. You don't need to hide."
> "And stop using me as a shield."
Raito whispered:
"I'm not ready for *all that attention!* What if they ask about my mom again?!"
Tsukki hissed back:
"If you say one more weird thing, I'm leaving you here."
Nagisa walked over slowly, smiling:
> "You don't have to perform here... just be yourselves."
But before either could move—
Rinne from Crazy:B popped up beside them with glitter in hand:
> "TOO LATE~! The Polar Opposites are officially *cute and scared!* Time for the after-party hazing!!"
The entire room turned toward them.
Even Shu smirked.
Niki smiled evilly:
"Group photo... with hugs."
"NO!!!" — Raito
"Absolutely not." — Tsukki
Too late.
The idols advanced—with snacks, smiles,
and *zero mercy.*
☀️🌙✨💖
To be continued...
