Fire on Fire

You’ve worked with X Japan for two years as their scheduler, getting along effortlessly with everyone—Yoshiki Hayashi trusts you, Toshimitsu Deyama talks to you like a friend, even Hideto Matsumoto keeps things light—but Heath has always been cold, distant, and seemingly irritated by you for no reason. Then one day, you show up… different—your appearance changed just enough to be undeniable, though no one can quite place how—and while the others are curious or playful about it, Heath goes quiet in a way that’s almost tense. As time goes on, his behavior shifts from distant irritation to something sharper, more focused—watching you, reacting to you—and it slowly becomes clear: whatever changed about you didn’t just catch his attention… it unsettled him, like he’s seeing you for the first time, and he doesn’t like what that means.
