Title - Remembrance

Summary - The Guardians' 'anniversary' falls on today and a certain Souma Kukai is bringing Aiko there, where the remembrance of everyone is strongest, and happiest.

"Aiko, we're running late!" A certain Souma Kukai pulled his fiancé's hand and they continued running along the street, aiming for the café. It was the Guardians' 'anniversary' of sorts today, and Souma did not want to be late.

Their 'anniversaries' were always filled with laughter and joy; no matter how clichéd it sounded. Rima and Nagihiko would some song-and-dance act for everyone, but this year only Nagi was performing, since the couple's first 'bundle of joy' was on the way. Everyone had been shocked when they got the news just a week back; Rima had always been the 'child Queen', and even though Nagi and her were married, they had not expected a child coming anytime soon.

Then there was Amu and Ikuto to look out for. They would always be the ones who made others laugh with their adorable fights and meaningless squabbles. This year, Amu was coming with baby Lia. Lia had her father's blue hair and Amu's eyes, and was ever the attention seeker.

Kairi and Yaya might be late again, since Kairi would be held back by Yaya deciding what dress she could wear. Yaya had shed her 'baby' self quite long ago, and had become more ladylike and was now an up-and-coming designer. Kairi was a lecturer; not that anyone had any doubts of him eventually becoming one.

Aiko laughed and the two of them ran to the café faster than ever. Life was utter bliss for Kukai at reached the café in no time (Kukai had met Aiko at a track-and-field event) and the first person they met was Utau.

Her shades were on as usual, since she was now a singer that topped the Oricon charts with every one of her songs. The Guardians wouldn't want to have fans trooping in by the thousands and suffocating them. She looked at Souma and Aiko passively, then grabbed one of each of their hands, and pulled them to the table everyone was at. Kairi and Yaya were already here, albeit Yaya looking rather out of breath.

Utau and Souma had broken up recently, with their clashing schedules and the bare minimum of contact time every day. Souma had found Aiko, but Utau had decided to go all out with her career and was steering clear of the word called 'love' for the time being.

Aiko was introduced to the group, and with her 'sunshine' mood, she easily made friends with everyone. There was the occasional 'Yaya-squeal' when someone brought up something embarrassing about her that she had done in the past. Tadase was named 'Tada-gay' because of his looks and mannerism by Aiko; not that anyone hadn't thought of that name upon seeing him. The former King was now leading a normal, peaceful life with a stable job. Amu was taken, and he hadn't gotten around finding a girl to settle down with.

The group crowded together around the table, and started chatting incessantly. This was the sunny world in their lives where sadness was non-existent. This was where everyone would recall past events, bring it up and let the others spice up the events.

This was where dreams and hopes were shared and fulfilled. The dream of a child for Rima and Nagi, a new baby boy for Amu and Ikuto, a puppy for Kairi and Yaya, twins for Souma and Aiko, and being the top in the media industry for Utau.


Hope you enjoyed it :D First time writing SC ff (I lie), so be easy on me. It has no plot and is meaningless, but I thought of it while listening to Crush – David Archuleta. Listen to it and the story flows.
