It was really no secret that Niki didn’t have the best self-esteem ever. It was there for sure, but if Rinne would describe it on a bar, that bar would be pretty low.

That proved especially true for a new modeling trip that Niki had been invited to along with HiMERU and some others that Rinne really didn’t care for. He knew that Niki wasn’t too fond of having to show off in front of others, and it sucked even more that Rinne couldn’t be there to support him. He knew Niki could do his best!

Rinne was more than excited hearing the front door open and whipping his head around to see his favorite head of gray hair. He jumped up like an adorable puppy and quickly ran over to Niki, pulling him into a rather tight hug.

“My Niki-kyun~! And how’s my favorite honeybee doin’? I know ya did amazin’ showin’ off that cute body of yers, yeah?” He spoke enthusiastically, ruffling Niki’s hair.

A part of him couldn’t help but notice that Niki did seem a bit more.. quiet than usual. Not a good sign.
