Eichi Tenshouin/Tori Himemiya

**Eichi Tenshouin/Tori Himemiya** is a relationship between two members of fine, Eichi Tenshouin and Tori Himemiya.

## Relationship and notable canon moments

Tori was a big fan of fine and Eichi. He joined the school because he want to be an idol with him. Both of them have similar duties, so Tori thought about Eichi as a role model because he seems to have freedom as he followed his dreams of becoming an idol.

Eichi wanted to disband *fine* after The War events, so he put almost impossible requirements for new members, but he kept going, wanting to protect Tori's dream. Because of this, Eichi hid his past and weakness from Tori over and over again and treated him like a child until the Starry Night Festival.

Tori grew thinking he wasn't good enough for *fine* and being Eichi's comrade, but he was very shocked when they lost against Trickstar in the DDD and desperately tried to improve.

In *Jingle Bells* Tori made a plan by himself for the sake of fine in the Starfes, but he ran away crying when Eichi rejected it as the student council president and threw it in the trash. Eichi was unable to explain him properly why he couldn't accept it and he got defensive because of his guilt for his sins, even saying he would be disappointed if Tori couldn't understand the problem without he explaining, so he would see Tori just as a fan instead of a comrade if he couldn't.

Later Eichi apologized for his behavior, put some of Tori's ideas on their performance and tried to talk Tori about his past, but Tori had heard it already from Yuzuru because Yuzuru felt Tori should know (because Tsumugi told him). Eichi was surprised when he found out Tori already knew as he hadn't intended for the other to know. From then, Tori kept improving his work so he could give Eichi projects he could accept.

In *Ep:Link,* Tori's jealousy of Trickstar and sadness because of *fine* position became worse. At the end, Eichi finally told him his true thoughts about fine and the way he was going to weaken in the future until he dies, and he decided he wouldn't disband *fine* since he wanted to grant Tori's wish of staying by his side because that's what idols do.

In *Pretty Mission* Tori felt because he couldn't be happy if his little sister and Eichi would get married in the future. <- i changed this part it was written in a biased fashion and didn't really align with the raws (original Japanese text)

Even with the improvement of their relationship as fine members, Eichi still tries to hide the bad things from Tori, making him feel sad because they're are making the same mistakes again.
