Situation:

Mysta gets teased by other Nijisanji EN members. He didn't mind it at first but it got to him so badly because of the stress he has been feeling.

He didn't want to think about anything else because he didn't want his focus to die down. Luca joking around didn't help causing him to accidentally snap at the other male.

Ike found out about Mysta's outburst that he confronted the other to apologize to Luca.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mysta was so loaded with work by his manager that he had to cancel his stream and the collaboration stream he was gonna have with the other members.

The others were quite upset when he suddenly had to cancel it but they said that it's fine since Ike was free to fill in for Mysta.

Mysta was so frustrated that he had multiple breakdowns trying to finish his work. He hadn't been able to eat anything because of it.

He decided to go downstairs after trying to keep his hunger down with water. As he gets down, he bumps into Luca who had probably just ended his stream.

Luca smiled at him and decided it would be a fun idea to tease the male.

"Haha. Good one, Luca." Mysta responded blandly.

Luca wasn't happy with the reaction so he made another joke, and another, and another until Mysta would laugh at him like he usually does.

But Mysta wasn't having it, so he accidentally snapped at Luca. Without looking back at the other he went to the kitchen to find something to eat.

He was so stressed that he didn't even know that he had accidentally hurt Luca's feelings by raising his voice at him.

It also hurts him that Luca made such a joke because Mysta wanted to have a peaceful day and making a joke will only lose his focus. Others might think he's being childish, but he just can't help it.

Ike, who just got out of his room, heard the way Mysta yelled at Luca. Ike was concerned for the two so he went to go talk to Luca.

"What's happening?" He asked.

Luca looked down, shaking his head.

Among Luxiem members, Luca and Mysta are probably the most sensitive when it comes to their emotions. They are always the ones joking around so negativity really gets the worse out of them.

Ike went on full protective mode for Luca. He didn't even dare to ask another question to Luca and just went down to talk to Mysta.

Vox, who was listening to the whole thing, followed Ike after comforting Luca. When he was able to catch up with Ike, he hid for some time to listen to their conversation.

"What is it Ike?" Mysta asked with a bored tone as he looked through the fridge.

"Why would you yell at Luca?! You know how sensitive Luca is to things like that!" Ike shouted.

Mysta felt bad but he didn't show it. "And? He was making some sort of joke and it wasn't even funny." He replied.

"Just because it wasn't funny doesn't mean you have to yell at him! That's a stupid excuse!"

Mysta wasn't having any of Ike's scolding so he snapped at him.

"It's not a fucking excuse, Ike! Can't you just leave me alone?! I'm tired and I don't want to deal with any of this bullshit!"

"Mysta!" Vox yelled, in his angry tone. After hearing that from Mysta, he couldn't help but also yell at him. "Don't talk to Ike like that! Just because you have a problem with such a small joke doesn't mean you have to take it out on Ike!"

Mysta couldn't bear it any longer. He broke down into tears and ran away from the two.

He was very guilty by how he treated Luca and Ike. What Vox said was true. But since they didn't know what Mysta was feeling, he couldn't accept any of it.

He ended up in Shu's room as he ran away from the voices of Ike and Vox who were yelling at him saying they weren't finished talking.

Shu, who was sitting on his bed working on something on his laptop, got startled by the opening of his bedroom door. Not until he saw a crying Mysta who locked the door.

Mysta slid down as he pressed his back on the door. Shu was worried for the male so he stood up and went closer to Mysta. "Hey, Mysta. You okay?"

Mysta didn't say anything and hugged Shu as he broke down even louder. His tears were falling endlessly and Shu couldn't do anything but to comfort the male.

Shu suddenly heard faint voices from outside. He stood up to check on it but Mysta pulled him down saying, don't open the door.

Shu sat down and tried to listen to the voices that he was hearing. He was able to hear Vox and Ike.

Through their faint voices and yells for Mysta to open the door to his room, which the owner wasn't even in, Shu was able to make the conclusion that the three probably had a fight.

He couldn't get his hands on the reason, but he'll have to ask the other two once Mysta has calmed down and taken some rest.

Shu stood up and carried Mysta to his bed so that the male could feel a lot more comfortable.

Shu waited for Mysta to stop crying before he could talk to him. He rubbed Mysta's back really slowly.

After Mysta had calmed down, Shu asked him, "Mysta, what happened?"

Mysta sniffled before replying, "I was so stressed that when Luca teased me, I accidentally snapped at him and when Ike confronted me about what happened I snapped at him and Vox came and told me no to take my anger out on Ike. I got upset and I also feel guilty. I don't know what to do."

Shu felt sad for the male. It's true that Mysta probably felt stressed. There have been so many times when Mysta had to cancel his streams and re-schedule only for him to cancel it again.

There were times when Mysta wouldn't join them for dinner or lunch because he's stuck in his room doing God knows what.

"I don't usually care when you guys tease me so much, but every time someone teases me these days, I get a lot more sensitive and it just piled up and I took it out on Luca and Ike by accident."

Shu didn't know what to say to the male. He's also one of the NIJISANJI members guilty of teasing Mysta so he didn't know what to do or what to say.

"You should rest. I'll talk to them for you." Shu said, as he tried to get out of Mysta's grip. Keyword, tried.

"Stay. Please." Mysta uttered quietly.

Shu heard it and decided to stay with Mysta until the other gets some sleep. He laid down beside Mysta as the other male clung to his chest. Shu didn't want to disturb the sleeping male, so he ended up sleeping as well.

A few hours later...

Shu woke up as he heard someone knocking on his bedroom door. He carefully detached the arms of the sleeping male beside him before he went to answer the door.

Shu groggily opened the door. "Oh, Vox. What do you need?" He spoke.

"Is Mysta with you? I need to talk to him." Vox asked.

Shu nodded, "He's sleeping. But I can't let you talk to him right now."

"Shu, do you know what just happened? Mysta is being too sensitive about it! This would've been fixed if he had just apologized!" Vox yelled.

Shu scoffed and Vox looked at him confused. "It's not my place to say anything. I'm not the one who got yelled at or the one who yelled or whatever happened. Give him time, Vox! You can't force anything out of Mysta!"

Vox couldn't believe the male, so he decided to leave him alone. In Vox's mind, all he could think about is Luca.

After a few hours of Luxiem members practically ignoring each other, Ike and Vox decided to cook since it's already past dinner time.

After cooking, Ike called Luca and Vox called Shu and Mysta who's been stuck in Shu's room.

Before going down to get dinner, Mysta grabbed his phone to check if he had missed some messages from others, especially from his manager.

The moment Mysta went down, silence filled the dining table. He couldn't look at their eyes so he thought he'd just grab food and go back to his room.

After grabbing his share, he excused himself until he got a call. He placed his plate down and went to the living room to answer the call.

"Hey, Mysta. The deadline for the proposal changed until today. Will you be able to finish it? Cause if you have something else to do, I can finish it." Mysta's manager announced.

"I have another document I have to finish so I'll just send the file to you. Sorry. I can't finish it." Mysta replied.

"Ahh, that's fine. I'll wait for your text. That's all."

Mysta hung up the phone and went back to the dining room to take his food and go to his room.

Mysta sat down on his chair and started to work on the file that he was trying to finish earlier. He was so determined to finish it, that he forgot about his food.

After a few minutes, Mysta was able to finish half of it. He was gonna start eating, but the food was too cold.

Mysta went downstairs to the kitchen to heat it up in the microwave, probably would help.

The moment he arrived, he saw Ike in the kitchen washing the dishes.

He suddenly remembered something that he needed to ask Ike about but he suddenly remembered the things that happened today.

He decided not to bother the novelist, and placed his food in the fridge. He really didn't have the appetite to eat anymore, so he decided to just go back to his room and sleep.

The next morning, Mysta woke up with a headache. He went downstairs to go drink medicine and he's just hoping it would go away soon.

After that, he went back to his room to start working again. He only had a little stuff left to finish so he wanted to use his time to do so.

He wanted to do a stream soon, but he realized that he had some sort of problem with his PC.

A few bottles of water, and some bathroom breaks later, time had passed and it was already 6 p.m.

Mysta was shocked to see the time. He hadn't realized that he had been in his room trying to finish, which he successfully did, his work.

He still felt dizzy and his stomach was aching so badly. He only had water from yesterday until today so it wouldn't be a surprise.

He went downstairs to grab something to eat. He had encountered Ike who was preparing dinner.

Ike had enough of the silent treatment he had been receiving from the other male. Ike had decided to confront Mysta here.

"Please, Mysta! Stop ignoring the situation and apologize to Luca! I don't care if you don't apologize to me as long as you do to Luca!" Ike said.

Mysta's mind was hazy. He thought he was hallucinating that he couldn't hear what Ike had said to him.

So he accidentally ignored him. He went out to the dining table to sit, maybe it could relieve the pain.

Ike was hurt by the male who had just ignored him. He went out to the dining area to try and talk to Mysta.

At the same time Vox was just getting downstairs. He saw Ike who was trying to talk to Mysta who had his hands on either side of his head.

Vox wanted to get some senses into the male so he joined in with Ike scolding the male.

Mysta feels like he's gonna have a breakdown at any moment. Tears are already forming in his eyes as he tried to massage his aching head.

Shu and Luca were hanging out. Shu had talked to Luca about what happened yesterday, and told Luca everything Mysta had said to him. Luca was able to understand and he was okay now.

They went downstairs to the dining area only to see Ike and Vox trying to calmly talk to Mysta who was having a mental breakdown.

Shu saw how Mysta was acting and decided to get close to him.

"Mysta! Mysta! Can you hear me? Are you okay?" Shu asked as he knelt down beside Mysta trying to calm the male.

Mysta didn't answer and stood up. It didn't last long as Mysta passed out. Gladly Shu was able to catch Mysta before he hit the floor.

"Mysta! Mysta! Wake up!" Shu yelled as he tried to shake Mysta awake.

Shu carried Mysta to the living room bridal style so that Mysta could lie down.

Ike and Vox didn't know what to say. They were stunned and they didn't know what to do.

Shu checked his forehead, and it was really hot. "Luca. He has a fever. Should we take him to the hospital?"

Luca nodded and started to go look for his car keys.

"I'll drive." Vox volunteered. Luca nodded and passed him the car keys as he went along with Vox.

Ike decided to go beside Shu and assist the male to carry Mysta into the car.

All of them got in the car with Vox driving, Luca by his side, Shu in the back with Mysta laying down as Ike fanned him to keep him cool.

There was a nearby hospital where they lived, so they arrived really fast.

Time skip... (I don't know what happens in a hospital, sorry..)

"Mysta is doing well. But he wishes not to see anyone at the moment so please wait patiently." The doctor informed them.

"Thank you, doc." Vox said, shaking hands with the doctor.

The doctor nodded and smiled. "Well then. I'll be back, and for the meantime the nurses will assist you with Mysta if ever he wants to see you. That's all. I'll excuse myself."

The doctor left and Vox turned to the others. Luca was sitting down beside Ike who was probably having a mental breakdown. Shu sat on the other side of Luca with his eyes gazed on the ground.

Vox sat beside Shu and tried to calm the male. Shu looked at him for a second and gave him a reassuring smile.

"I've already informed the management about what happened." Shu said.

After a few minutes, the nurse came to them and informed them that Mysta was ready to see them.

They all went inside carefully trying not to make too much noise so they don't disturb Mysta.

Shu was the first to go to Mysta's side and started asking him questions.

Ike and Vox felt so guilty for snapping at Mysta. After what Shu had told them, they felt awful.

A while ago...

The moment they arrived at the hospital, Shu didn't feel good. He wanted to get some senses into Vox and Ike for what they had done.

"If you only tried to ask Mysta why he was acting like that in a way you won't scare him off then he wouldn't be in here!" Shu yelled.

Vox and Ike flinched and were so confused.Luca saw the faces they were making so he was the one who told them about it.

"Shu told me that Mysta told him that Mysta had been bombarded with stuff by his manager. It didn't start yesterday or the other day. It started 1 month ago. Mysta had been stuck in his room trying to finish all of his work. The stress piled up, that's why he acted that way. He hadn't even eaten so much, that's why his body is so frail."

"I admit, I did feel hurt by the way he acted but knowing what he's been going through, I felt a little awful. I should have been able to tell if he was feeling stressed or sad. So me teasing him and joking around did hurt him as well." Luca explained.

Present...

Mysta saw that Ike and Vox were keeping their distance. He felt sad so he started to cry.

"I'm sorry. Vox, Ike. I'm sorry, Luca. Please." He pleaded through his tears.

Ike felt bad so he immediately went up to hug Mysta while crying himself.

Vox also came closer and held Mysta's hands, kissing the back of it multiple times, as he repeatedly said, "I'm sorry" and "It's okay".

Luca went up to Mysta's side and said, "I forgive you, I hope you forgive me too."

Shu also joined in and said, "I told them, well, I told Luca and Luca told Vox and Ike."

The next day, Mysta was discharged. They were able to stay the night at the hospital since it was already late.

In the car, he was beside Ike and Luca who were hugging him like a bunch of Koala's. Shu sat in front beside Vox who was driving.

When they arrived home, Ike and Luca helped Mysta to get inside their house.

They guided Mysta to his room, and laid down beside him. Mysta was sandwiched between Ike and Luca.

Vox and Shu followed right after parking the car. They had reminded the other two that Mysta hadn't eaten anything.

Ike hurriedly went down to prepare Mysta something to eat. He made sure to cook Mysta's favorite food so that the other male would eat a lot.

The moment Ike stood up from Mysta's bed, Vox hurriedly came to Mysta's side and cuddled him.

Mysta and Shu exchanged looks and smiled. Shu had sat beside Luca who was sleeping already.

They all took turns in making sure that someone was awake to tend to Mysta last night so they were all tired.

After a few minutes, Ike had come back to Mysta's room to see a sleeping Luca and Vox, while Shu talked to Mysta to keep him awake.

Shu assisted Mysta as he tried to untangle the arms of the other two who were sleeping.

Shu draped Luca's arms to Vox so the two will keep each other company as Mysta eats his meal.

Mysta, Ike, and Vox had a conversation last night about what happened and they felt really sorry. Luca also apologized and everything was okay with them.

After Mysta finished eating, he went back to bed, with Shu and Ike. Gladly Mysta's bed was big enough for the five of them to fit.

Mysta was in the middle, with Vox and Luca on his left, and Shu and Ike on his right.

He feels content just to be with them. Without Luxiem, or NIJISANJI in general, he wouldn't be able to experience so much joy from others.

Right now, he wants things to stay the same and for Luxiem to stay together, like how they already are.
