"...? Why are you laughing?"

Vick asked and tilted his head, Mason wiped the cold sweat trickling from his forehead and answered,

".... just, it was a little funny...."

Mason knew that he changed in front of the camera viewfinder. He showed the sides of himself that he didn’t want to be seen and he also moved like a different person. He did this without knowing why, as if he were possessed by something. At first it was definitely an unpleasant feeling, but it wasn’t bad when someone recognised it¹. In fact, it was quite interesting.

"I also wouldn’t mind shooting a movie with you, director."

Mason smiled slightly, Vick while blinking repeatedly, made a face as if he was about to cry, and suddenly hugged him.

"............Haley......!"

"Kek"

Mason made a noise like a frog being squeezed while being hugged, "Haley, my love. My muse. Let’s film movies together for the rest of our lives. You will get big money, even if I have to take from my own expenses." Vick hung on like crazy. Because of the sudden and violent shaking when Vick grabbed hold, Mason, who was already feeling like the sky was turning round and round, underwent the experience of his spirit vanishing. As the sky became dark and overcast and the mind became blank, "...so I’m saying, don’t over do it and just shoot relaxedly." at that very moment, Vick’s constant hug was thrown off.

"Aigoo!"

Vick’s speech was cut off and he tumbled to the ground. Mason tightly grabbed hold of the last threads of his consciousness and raised his head. The constant smell of water in the nose was instead replaced with the scent of flowers, someone was securely holding him.

"Noah........."

Mason swallowed his dry spit and muttered Noah’s name. Noah, with his beautiful face, wrinkled his brow as if talking to someone foolish and said,

"What exactly...... were you thinking, I can’t even imagine"

Noah spoke coldly and sarcastically. Filming the movie until his body was in this sort of state, if someone saw they would surely think that he was a newbie actor.

"M...Mr. Raycarlton!"

Mason was not the only one who was surprised by Noah’s sudden appearance. The filming staff stared with wide eyes at Noah, who had arrived without anyone knowing and suddenly embraced Haley.

"The shooting environment is quite terrible. I’m sure it’s not because that there was not enough to support the production cost, Vick."

It was not too little. There is plenty. The amount left is overflowing. There is enough money that I could even use it as my toilet paper. Vick who was sitting in a shallow puddle of water, stared up at Noah with a panicked face, "Ah, that is...." his eyes bulged out.

"........"

While Vick watched, Noah looked gently at Mason who was soaked and dripping sweat and clicked his tongue. While the fever was going up and the face turning red, what everyone was doing and why they had just left it alone, he had no idea.

"I was unaware that you had such a foolish personality."

In answer to Noah’s accusation, Mason quietly agreed, "Yes, I did." Without knowing the reason for Ashton’s infuriating actions, he had run around in the rain. When he saw that jerk’s frightened expression he had felt excited, but after everything had passed all he had left was a high body temperature and dizziness. Mason’s bitter laughter made Noah furrow his brow and then sigh.

"... get some sleep, we’re going home." he whispered softly and covered Mason’s eyes with his hands.

T/N: eh-heh. It has nearly been a month since I’ve updated. eh-heh. ｡ﾟ･（>﹏<）･ﾟ｡ ...wahhhh, I’m sorry! Please don’t kill me. Doyle-san is such a nice taskmaster, so I took advantage of their kindness and procrastinated and I felt guilty each time I saw the comments thanking me and votes on the chapters and so I finally translated some but I was too late and now Doyle-san is offline, this chapter was not proofread, my phone is dying, and I have no milk in the refrigerator. ‧º·(˚ ˃̣̣̥⌓˂̣̣̥ )‧º·˚
