Chapter One: Calm Before The Storm

Mikaze Ai.

Cyan eyes and teal hair, top idol, well-known actor and a member of the infamous unit group, Quartet Night. Usually calm and collected, there is nothing his data cannot obtain. Also referred to as the 'Walking Dictionary' by his close friends, team mates and younger classmen while among his fans, he is known as the 'Ice Prince'. With his cold stare and winter warm voice, he caught the hearts of everyone who looked and listened to him. Basically, he's perfect. Plot twist though…

He's artificial.

Kisaragi Aine.

Looks exactly the same as Mikaze Ai, there is a huge difference though. He has not appeared on television for four years because of being stuck on the hospital bed, comatose. Was a well-known idol and is also the best friend of Ai's current team mate in the same unit group, Kotobuki Reiji. Aine's stare was also identical to Ai's if only he stayed still but no… his personally was completely different to that of the Ice Prince's. He keeps a small smile on his face, cyan orbs softening with kindness and motivation. With a melody the same as Ai's, his is more… warm rather than cold. Although that is the case, he's not perfect. Plot twist though…

He's back.

Nanami Haruka.

Coral-pink hair and golden-honey eyes that almost make her seem blind due to the heterochromia irises. She's usually timid and shy, naïve and innocent. Mostly useless but I guess she's not because she composes music for the boys. Her hand writing is neat which makes everyone around her jealous. Her looks are not really that much therefore that leaves everyone around her thinking… WHY HER!? Trivia, she's also known as the 'Harem Queen'. Yes, you have read that right. Harem Queen. I quote. "HAREM QUEEN" Why you ask? It's because she has dozens of guys falling for her innocence. Her nicknames are 'little lamb' and 'lady' which are both made up by none other than Jinguji Ren. Her music writing skills and intelligence are exceptional but she always gets lost and seems to never memorize routes even with a GPS on her hand or a map. Plot twist though…

She's oblivious when it comes to romance.

"M-Mikaze-senpa-Wahh!"

Crash

And obviously clumsy.

"Nanami," Ai stared at Haruka who just tripped over nothing before offering a hand to lift her up. "So the members of STARISH were precise. She is uncoordinated in walking," he thought, helping her stand. Haruka has been told to compose a song for him to be submitted by the end of the week, it's their first day together and since then, she has been following him around. She said that it's so that she'll get to know his personality better. He thinks that it's unnecessary because she also did that last time so why add more information to her database when she already has enough. Ai didn't complain though, he liked her being his company.

He could feel the hot gaze, more like death stares from the members of STARISH who were looki—wait let me rephrase that, spying at them by the window vane. Cecil was twitching at how close the two were and Ai couldn't help but feel slight satisfaction. "The bastard," Syo muttered under his breath and Ai with his upgraded system, clearly heard his inquiry but because he is the Mikaze Ai, he coolly shrugged it off as if it was a compliment from a top-class worldwide well-known critic who is observing him as he performs on the stage perfectly.

Ren groaned when he saw Haruka's skirt slightly rise when she fell. Masato settles with elbowing him on the stomach, hard. "Why are we following them again?" Otoya who seemed so innocent about their current situation decided to ask, rubbing his nape which is a pose he obviously practices on the mirror when Tokiya isn't around.

"We're following them because we have no schedule and we are supposed to spend the whole day with Haruka but it seems like our plans are ruined because of Ai-senpai," Cecil answered for the whole of their group. Syo and Natsuki nodded, their eyes not leaving the two who were having a simple conversation regarding songs. "Hey, doesn't it seem like he's stealing Haruka away from us? She's supposed to be our composer! Who's the composer of Quartet Night anyway?" he continued, making his co-members also agree and wonder. Simply speaking, since they don't have Haruka anymore and they have nothing to do without her, they'll spend the rest of the day dissing the one who stole her instead.

Which is unfortunately… Mikaze Ai. Their upperclassman.

Syo twitched when he saw Haruka smiling at what Ai said at some point during their conversation regarding data. "He's too awkward for her! I can't stand this!" the blonde exclaimed, irritated by the subject of the pair's chit chat. If Ai knew so much about data blah blah blah, he should have worked inside a lab or something! Why is he an idol anyway? And why is so good that they can't even bitch about it!? Syo groans.

"Well, Nanami is also awkward sometimes so I guess that makes them a good pai—" Otoya stopped on his tracks when he sensed the others looking at him gravely. Admit it though, Haruka, is sometimes awkward despite her composition skills. "Y-Yeah, Nanami is a goddess," he took back his words and the looks he received where then gone.

Masato coughed when he saw the look on his teammates' eyes, "He's our upperclassman everyone. We need to take this calmly and perhaps it was the President who assigned Nanami to Mikaze-senpai. She can't say no to him, correct?" He was the only one along with Tokiya who made sense at this point. The members of STARISH groaned, giving up. "We'll just have to spend time with her on another day," his statement made Syo sigh but hopefully, it made sense. It was all for the sake of work. Yes… work.

"BUT WE DON'T HAVE WORK!" Syo whined like a five year old.

"We can bake cookies together Syo-chan! Then, we can give it to Haru-chan later as a reward for working hard!" Natsuki suggested and everyone shook their head. This was going to be a long day. A very long boring day. Without Haruka.

"You didn't go to Shining Academy, senpai? How did you become an idol then? Were you scouted in the streets?" the coral-head curiously asked, blinking at the taller male with sparkle in those orbs. She looked amazed. Well, no one can blame her. In those few seconds, he noticed parts of Haruka which he didn't usually see. Her hair which seemed so silky and soft if he just ran his fingers through, long thick lashes, pink lips- he could hear people cough. His data says that it's the members of STARISH.

Ai's expression remained tranquil as it'll ever be. "I'm nothing but a replacement. Aine, Reiji's best friend, got into an accident that's why I'm here," he said with no hint of emotion in his voice. Haruka frowned at his sentence. It was funny how Ai was stoic when he talks but so filled with emotion when he sings. "When he comes back, there's a high possibility that my system will be shut down," he continued. Haruka thinks that he was being negative towards himself. Ai thinks that it's true, that's what his data says after all.

"But you're pretty much irreplaceable senpai. Your fans will recognize the difference and it won't be the same with Quartet Night anymore," Haruka tried to cheer him up to no avail, failed. She sighed, crestfallen. "I mean, everyone is unique. It's pretty much better to be honest than to be impressive," she leaned against the wall behind her, noticing that his expression hasn't changed one bit. She wanted to know more about him. Not because it's for the song but because she's his friend and she wants him to have more confidence in himself.

Ai turned his head slightly to face her, "You don't understand it, Haruka." She looked up at him and tilted her head to the side, blinking. It was then when they heard the clashing of stilettos on the marble covered floor. Long pink locks went along the wind, baby blue eyes smiling at the two.

"Tsukimiya-sensei," Haruka smiled as a greeting while Ai simply stared.

"Haru-chan!" Ringo's footsteps became louder as he ran towards her within the nearest couple of meters. He held both of her hands and exclaimed, "You have a new idol you're going to compose for! Shining says that you need to see him right away!" He sounded so excited when he announced the news.

"N-New idol?" Haruka was confused.

Ringo knitted his eyebrows in worry, "Well, Shining wants you to compose a song based on him so... you just need to see him Haru-chan! Well he's not awake in the moment but… you'll see when we get there!" He grabs Haruka by the hand and offers Ai an apology of borrowing Haruka for a moment. The composer glances at him and waves goodbye while slightly bowing her head out of respect. Ai doesn't wonder who the new idol is. Haruka is a composer and it's her job. But for some reason… his system feels uneasy.

Then, he hears someone twitch and say, "I already have to share with six guys and Quartet Night. Shining's going to add another one?" Well, that was probably Syo… or Cecil.

Ringo and Haruka are inside the car, driving into some place when she decided to ask. "What do you mean by composing for a new idol, sensei?" The car came into a halt when they arrived at the intersection with traffic lights. "It was the President's idea? But I'm currently composing for Mikaze-senpai," she added on. The teacher playfully grinned.

"Yes, it was Shining's idea. He said something about you learning about love and some sort. He didn't say anything about a deadline though, just pass the song to him when you're finished," Ringo replied and Haruka nodded before looking out the window. They passed some shops she was familiar with. The car paused once more at a place she didn't entirely expect. "Here we are," Ringo unbuckled his seatbelt and opened the door to get out, Haruka did the same but her eyes didn't stop to narrow in confusion.

"The hospital?" she asked, looking at her teacher who closed the door. He smiled at her before leading the way. Haruka stared at the nameplate when they arrived in front of a hospital room. 'Kisaragi Aine'? Has she heard of that name before? Her eyebrows knit in frustration when she was not able to remember what she wanted.

"Hakase, we're here," Ringo opened the door after he knocked. The composer bowed when they both entered the room and her eyes immediately fall upon the male on the bed. Four to five IV drips were attached to his arms, an oxygen mask on his face. The monitor continued to beep and his expression was serene. What caught most of Haruka's attention was his looks, he was identical to her friend, Mikaze Ai. His features were exactly the same, his lashes, his hair, his complexion. It makes her wonder if his orbs were as beautiful like Ai's and if only he opened them for her to see. Haruka's scrunched up face from confusion immediately soften at the sight.

Hakase bowed, greeting the two before he walked towards Haruka introducing himself and shook her hand. The composer bowed back and introduced herself in response. Ringo's hands both found their way on Haruka's shoulders, "He's the one you're going to compose for, Haru-chan." Her eyes were already focused on the male, not even aware that her teacher said something. Hakase tapped Ringo's shoulder and the male nodded. The teacher sighed, "I'll go talk to Hakase for a minute Haru-chan." With that, the two went out of the room, leaving both behind.

The door creaked and closed. Haruka settled, sitting on a chair beside the male, adoring his features. He just looks so much like Ai yet somehow different. His hair was slightly longer and a bit darker now that she notices. His breathing was shallow and he looked so peaceful in his sleep. She couldn't help but smile, "Kisaragi-kun… huh?" Seeing a small xylophone on the table next to him, she giggled and leaned her elbows on the bed, trying to create a melody with it.

"Surechigai wa kekkyoku unmei de," she slowly sang, trying to get the right notes on the xylophone.

Aine stirred and it made Haruka pause.

"Ehh?" she gasped, the small plastic mallet on her hand stilled. Aine was groaning in his sleep, as if he was inside a nightmare. Haruka gulped.

"Subete wa sujigaki toori date," she continued, struggling to create a tune with lyrics impromptu.

Aine once again shifted, this time with his hands tightly clenching the white sheets of his bed. He was sweating and was breathing heavily though his eyes were still closed. Haruka took it as a bad sign and immediately went out of the room to find the adults. Luckily, they were outside, talking about Aine's condition and Haruka composing for him. Both immediately became alarmed and rush inside to enter the room.

The professor gasped, his eyes widening in astonishment as he looked at the beeping monitor attached to the former idol. At first he just stared in awe but then he noticed that the figure continued to stir, his eyes opening slowly and narrowed when they saw the light as if for the first time. "A-Aine?" the Professor hesitated asking, his hands immediately flying unto the male's shoulders, careful not to hurt him.

"Aine, calm down," Hakase had a hard time giving the male peace. It was the first time in four years he had seen the idol like this. Usually, the male didn't move nor flinch. He never replied to any conversation and just stayed asleep. Seeing him fluster like this made the professor grit his teeth in worry. The composer watched from the corner of the room, her heart ready to get out of her chest. Her lips were pursed as her fingers fiddled the helm of her skirt. Honestly, she was feeling a bit guilty.

"H-Haruka…" Aine muttered from the gas mask. His eyes were threatening to fall again and his lips trembled. He felt cold… just like that day. The one who he mentioned flinched on her place, startled that he mentioned her name. Hakase looked at her and Ringo pushed her forward. She looked hesitant for a second before she walked towards the side of the bed.

"I'm going to go get the nurse. Watch him for a second, okay?" the professor stated and she unconsciously nodded. Her eyes widen in realization but before she knew it, he was already out of the door. Haruka looked at her teacher who was now standing next to her. She sent him a 'What-do-I-do' look and he shrugged, also not knowing what to do.

Haruka sighed nervously, sitting on the chair and for some reason, the male slightly calmed down. She took the courage to speak, careful to not startle him. "K-Kisaragi-san?" her voice stuttered when she felt him stare at her with half-lidded eyes. He smiled at her, tears dropping from the corners of his eyes that were once closed. She gasped and held his hand. "A-Are you okay?" she was worried about him and was startled when he held her hand in hers.

"Haruka," he looked at her with longing, more tears rushing down his face. His thumb stroked her knuckles as if to hold her hand tighter, his grip on her strong yet assuring. Haruka shifted her elbows on the bed, holding his hand in both of hers. He was repeating her name like a chant, a prayer to make her stay. The composer nodded, convincing him that yes, she'll stay. He smiled at her with a smile which was familiar…

One which was not similar to Ai.
