Wataru Hibiki/Shu Itsuki

**Wataru Hibiki/Shu Itsuki** is a relationship between Wataru Hibiki from fine and Shu Itsuki from Valkyrie.

## Relationship and notable canon moments

Wataru and Shu met during their 2nd year in Yumenosaki since both were framed as the Five Oddballs along with Rei, Kanata and Natsume.

During their 3rd year Wataru joined *fine*, ending up in the confrontation between fine and Valkyrie in the Tanabata Festival.

In *Cinema Theater* Wataru and Shu helped Hinata and Yuta, who were going to film a commercial. While Wataru was wondering with 2wink where struggling with the difficulty of the performance he had been prepared, Shu told him he should have a broader perspective, and he was sure Wataru would realize on his own, what made Wataru remember 2wink weren't like him and he were forcing them to do the same things he would do. After this, Wataru was able to guide them propertly.

Later the day 2wink were going to be filmed, Wataru and Shu went together and Wataru was being to loud in the street while giving Shu lilacs. Shu told him if he got too much attention, he would pretend he didn't know him. Wataru said that was really sad and asked if they weren't old friends, to what Shu replied they were, since Wataru gave them those flowers (that means friendship in the language of flowers).

At the end of the day, Wataru stayed watching the video with 2wink and Shu, after using Shu's phone to write Mika that Shu's would be late. Shu didn't undertand why Wataru was so fascinated by the power of "being a twin who could share his soul with other", since Wataru could already reach the greatest heights alone. He guessed it was because Wataru could be anyone and didn't know who he really was. Wataru asked if being able to become anyone wasn't fun, and Shu replied he didn't know, but it wasn't boring, so Wataru afirmed he would never let him get bored.

As it's shown in *Neverland,* where they both participated in a competition to get the better musical artist title, their personalities and their reasons to create art are completely opposite. While Shu is dedicated to art and its beauty, Wataru has no interest in art itself, but in making the audience happy as an entertainer. In this event Wataru created a duo unit with Nagisa, to Shu's displeasure.

Althought Shu is still struggling to accept seeing Wataru in *fine*, in *Neverland* he acknowledges that's just how Wataru is, so he will try to understand him because they're friends.
