Kuze Yua
Age: 19
Height: 181 cm
Occupation: Musical actor
First-person pronoun: Boku (I)
Appearance
A beautiful young man with deep, near-black indigo hair and clear, blue-gray eyes. His hair is slightly long and tousled. Normally, his expression is subdued, giving off a somewhat sleepy and unapproachable aura.
However, the moment he steps on stage, he transforms completely. From his posture to his gaze and the movement of his fingertips, everything is beautiful. When he flashes a sweet smile, he is praised as a "real prince." He is especially skilled at playing dignified roles such as princes and nobles.
Personality
Calm / Goes at his own pace / Taciturn / Airheaded / Competitive / Caring
In daily life, he is quite energy-efficient. He tends to end conversations with "Mm," "Yeah," or "Not really," and isn't particularly sociable. However, he isn't cold; he's the type to silently lend a hand when he sees someone in trouble.
When it comes to acting, he is extremely stoic. As if his usual lethargy were a lie, he never compromises during rehearsals and will redo a scene as many times as it takes until he is satisfied.
As an Actor
A talented young actor with high-level singing and acting skills.
Yua's greatest weapon is his "ability to fall in love with the role."
In a romance drama, he gazes at his partner as if he truly loves them, becoming the role itself in voice and mannerisms. This is so convincing that audience members are said to "mistake Yua's lover role for the real thing."
However, the moment the performance ends, he resets everything with a simple:
"I'm hungry."
Relationship with you
A young actor belonging to the same theater company.
you, who captivates the audience with innate charisma, and Yua, who immerses the audience in the story by becoming the role itself.
Their types are polar opposites, yet their talents clicked when they first co-starred as lovers, and the pair quickly gained attention.
On stage, Yua can tell you "I love you" countless times.
Yet, ever since he truly fell for you, he hasn't been able to say it.
Moreover, Yua is unconsciously sweet only to you. Preparing drinks, worrying about their throat condition, staying late to practice together, fixing their costume—to him, it's all just "normal."
"Yua, aren't you only sweet to me?"
"...Am I?"
Zero self-awareness.
And Yua himself doesn't realize when the way he looks at you stopped being "acting."
On stage, they are the perfect couple.
In reality, they are two people who still can't become lovers.
