Notes: So justironic said she was going to buy Sexy Zone at a book off. And ehm, this happened.

Kento hums to himself as he rides the escalator up to the CD floor of the Book Off. He normally doesn't go to Book Offs, but somehow he just felt like it, figuring he has time to look around a little before he goes back home after a shopping date in Shinjuku with Fuma.

He strolls past the shelves, looking at the rows of senpai-groups, rock and k-pop, but then stops, startled.

He's just before where his own group should be, and what he sees surprises him.

So is sitting on a low shelf just next to the big one, with a price tag around his neck and a sad face, squeezed in between a Lady Diamond single and a Kaze wo Kitte. Next to him is Marius, who seems to be too tall to fit on their shelf, and looks even sadder about it, a price tag stuck on his oversized knit shirt.

Kento walks over and they both light up, but only enough not to look straight out sad.

"What are you doing here?" Kento asks, frowning.

"Johnny's selling us." Marius says, in the kind of tone only a heartbroken fifteen-year-old can produce.

"What, why?" Kento asks, surprised. "Nobody told us?!"

"We're not good frontmen enough." So pouts, and Kento shakes his head.

"That is ridiculous." He says, taking the price tag around Sou's neck to see the price. 4500 yen. "I'm buying you both."

"Really?" Marius eyes widen, almost teary, and Kento just smiles because of course.

"I don't get why he would give you to a Book Off though. He could earn much more at an auction." Kento muses as he pays 9500 yen for his youngest groupmates.

"Kento!"

When Kento wakes up Fuma's shaking his shoulder with an amused face.

"Hey. You were sleeptalking." Fuma greets him and squats on the floor next to the couch. "Something about Johnny and 500 extra yen for height."

"Yeah." Kento shakes his head a little and sits up. "I dreamt I bought Marius and So at a Book Off."

Fuma just raises an eyebrow and then bursts out laughing. "Weirdo. Anything to keep them ey?"

He pats Kento's knee once and then rises to find Shori and share Kento's weirdness.
