Next day - Helping an actress

Ethan woke up with Akane cuddling up to him, he slipped away from her and went to the bathroom, finding her clothes on the floor, taking them, he started washing and drying them.

Once he was done, he checked his phone and got a text from Aqua, asking where they were.

Ethan set a meeting point because they might get the wrong idea if they just meet in the hotel he fucked Akane in...

Ethan also got a message that the food he ordered was sent back due to... Oh...

He made a call for breakfast and promised to pay extra.

"Hmm Kenway?" Ethan looked to the side and saw Akane sitting up.

"Just call me Ethan, it's easier also morning." Ethan smiled.

Akane looked down and then the memories of last night came back, she blushed and hugged a pillow against her chest.

"What? Regret what you did?" Ethan asked.

"N-no!" She exclaimed. "Just... Just embarrassed."

Ethan patted her head. "Go shower, it'll help with the sex smell." Ethan chuckled as Akane blushed more and ran to the bathroom.

Ethan put his clothes back on and got the breakfast from room service and tipped extra.

Akane came out in a towel and saw her clothes neatly folded. "You did this?" She asked surprised.

"Yeah, it's your only pair of clothes." Ethan said as he put the tray of food on the table.

"Right..." She shed her towel, revealing herself to him again as she took her clothes and put them on.

Ethan couldn't help but stare at her as she put her clothes on, Akane was really beautiful, most of the girls in this anime were.

Ethan closed his eyes and thought back to be anime, he smirked, he had the means to help her, make the video Aqua made and then bam, things will go back on track.

"So... What are we?" Akane asked him.

Ethan hummed. "Well... We're in a relationship I suppose, but this was mostly just based on emotion."

Akane looked down. "Maybe I should meet your girlfriend and ask for her permission.

"... Maybe later, she'll be okay with it though." Ethan responded.

They are their food and left the hotel, Ethan made sure to use some subtle genjutsu to hide them.

They made it to the meeting spot and the other cast members of Love Now rushed to question Akane.

Ethan watched and tilted his head. Aqua came over. "What now?" He asked Ethan.

"Simple, we make a video to help Akane, the backlash won't stop unless we do something about it, I'll leave that to you, I'll get the necessary footage from the studio, you deal with the editing and the other can chime in." Ethan explained and grinned.

Aqua narrowed his eyes. "Are you seriously pushing this onto me."

"Yes because you have the skills while I have the means of procurement." Ethan poked Aqua's forehead with a grin.

"... I hate you."

"Love you too." Ethan teased.

It took a few days but the video came out great, just as Ethan expected.

"Soooo you and Akane~." Mem-cho leaned in as her and Ethan were sitting on the bed of her room while the others were celebrating the videos success.

"I have no idea what you're talking about." Ethan took a sip of his water.

"She told me and Yuki! Is it true you and your girlfriend are in a open relationship?" Mem-cho question.

"Why? You interested?" Ethan smirked.

"Maybeee." Mem-cho teased. "You're a catch."

"Decide after you finish filming Love Now." Ethan got up and walked away.

"Hey Aqua, I'm gonna split, need to head home." Ethan told Aqua.

"Take me with you..." Aqua looked exhausted.

"Nope!" Ethan smirked and patted his head. "Don't do anything I wouldn't do... And definitely don't do anything I would do." Ethan walked out waving to the others.

"What does that even mean." Aqua questioned.

At the door, Ethan put his shoes on and was about to leave but felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned and saw Akane. "Oh, sorry I gotta go, need to check on some stuff.

"... Thank you for everything..." Akane smiled at him.

"No problem. Just be safe and take care, if you need me, Aqua has my number." Ethan leaned in and kissed her forehead before leaving.

Akane went back upstairs and found Aqua. "Aqua, what's Ethan's ideal woman?" She asked.

Aqua was confused for a moment. "Why?"

"Please?" Akane pouted a bit.

Aqua thought back to Ai who was very close to Ethan. "Girls like Ai." He responded.

"Oh like the idol?" Yuki asked.

Akane's eyes shined with determination. "Thank you."
