YOSHIKI POV

"Do it!"

"Yeah, just go on!"

"Don't be a baby"

"Un~Ga"

"Quit screwing around and start!"

Aimai san senchi sorya punitte koto kai, cho~!

rappingu ga seifuku... da~~furitte kotan..

"What in the world?" I asked, looking around for the source of the music.

Seiko: "Oops, sorry, that was my phone!" She apologized, turning off her ringer.

Morshige: "Nice ringtone." He said in a sarcastic tone.

Seiko: "I know right! And the perfect timing to create an anime reference! " She exclaimed excitedly, Morshige sweat dropping at how she failed to recognize his sarcasm.

Ayumi: "Sooo, are you gonna sing or not?" She asked, placing her hands on her hips.

Satoshi: "Yeah bro! A bet's a bet!" He shouted while encouragingly patting me on the back.

I sigh as I dragged my feet towards the stage. A few days prior, Morshige, Satoshi, and I had betted that whoever got lower than a B on our math test had to be punished. I had studied exponentially, only to get a B-. The punishment was that the loser had to confess to their crush. I cried, pleaded, and begged them not to make me do the bet, which ended up with me having to sing a love song. The girls were told I was forced to sing an embarrassing song, while Morshige and Satoshi snickered behind my back as I walked onto the stage. I took deep breaths, constantly telling myself that there was no way that Shinozaki would know that I loved her. The ironic thing, was that the same karaoke place we stood in was the same place Shinozaki had harshly rejected me taking her to, a year ago.

'She likes Satoshi' I reminded myself as I turned on the machine and clicked the 'love songs' category list.

Scrolling down, I found a song that was in English and didn't seem too bad. The way by Ariana Grande was the song I was about to click, when I felt something wet and hard hit the back of my neck, making me flinch. I turned around to see that Seiko was snickering, plopping an ice cube in her mouth. I glared at her and quickly turned back around. To my horror, a song was already chosen. I hoped that I hadn't clicked the wrong song by accident. Waiting for the sound of snapping, I instead heard some kind of techno piano music. I looked at the large flat screen tv on wall, and In big bold letters surrounded by hearts showed the song Su-su-su-Suki Daisuki

'Ughn, not this song! And it's in Japanese!? Great!' I complained mentally, blushing since the song was really fluffy and embarrassing.

I took two breaths as I saw the lyrics slide across the screen, preparing to sing.

(Japanese and English)

Me: "Ne ne ne nee, ne, chotto ii?

Hey hey hey heey, hey, can I have a minute?

isogashii nara, gomen

Sorry if you're in the middle of something,

sukoshi dake, ne sukoshi de ii

but please, just for a little bit,

o-shaberi ni tsukiatte

talk with me."

I turned my head over to my friends, expecting to see them rolling over the floor and dying of laughter. Instead, I saw some different reactions; Satoshi and Morshige were giving me the thumbs up, Naomi and Mayu were smiling and winking at me, Seiko was making kissy faces while she pointed to her left. I then looked at Ayumi. She looked at bit surprised as she stared at me, and seemed to be...blushing!?

?: "Keep going! " I heard some guy yell from the audience. I snapped my head back at the tv, forgetting that I had to sing. I had missed a couple of lines, but it wasn't anything too serious.

Me: " Sore na no ni baka! mitsumeraretara

I'm so useless, that as soon as you stare at me,

nodo ga kawaite koe denai

my throat dries up and I can't speak.

Puhaa...dou shiyou ano ne, jitsu wa ne...

Sigh...what to do? Um hey, the truth is...

DAME da, yappari kowai no

Ugh I can't do it! I'm too afraid!"

My face heats up intensely as I glace at the upcoming lyrics. I force my self to keep staring at the monitor to prevent my gaze to shift towards Ayumi. It seemed to work, until the scream of a girl made me turn my head to the right to see what happened. Seiko was groping Ayumi from behind, nearly causing blood to trickle down my nose as I watched the two.

Ayumi then managed to wrangle out of the hold of Seiko and turned her attention back on me, looking me straight in the eyes. I gulped as I sang the text.

Me: "Kimochi tsutaetai yo anata ni

I want to convey my feelings to you.

Kono kimochi doushite kurushii no

Why are these feelings of mine so difficult?"

Two visable red circles appeared on Ayumi's face as we kept staring at each other. She seemed to mouth the words 'Is it true' multiple times, but with sweat beating off my forehead and into my eyes, I could've been seeing things.

Me: "Ano ne atashi anata no koto, ano ne...

Um hey, I, li-... Um hey, I, li-... I, li-...

su, su, su su, su su, su...su su su su su, su, su

I li-, li-, li-, li-, li-, li-, li-, li-, li-, li-, li-, li-, li-, li-

suu, haa...gomen, wasurete,...matte!

lii-, haa... Sorry, forget about it...Ah wait!

su, su, su su, su su, su...su su su su su, su, su

I li-, li-, li-, li-, li-, li-, li-, li-, li-, li-, li-, li-, li-, li-"

Between glancing at Ayumi and the monitor, I began studdering naturally. Looking at her for the final time, I noticed that she was no longer blushing furiously, and mouthed the words; 'What is it!?' I gulped as I prepared to sing the last line of text.

Me: " Suki, daaisuki! I like you! I like you a lot!" I finally let out, panting as I waited for the music to stop.

As soon as it did, every single person in the audience stood out of their seats and cheered, some even screaming for an encore. I nervously chuckled as I headed for the stairs that led off from the stage, only to be bombarded by a large group of girls.

Girl1: "Omg! Your voice is so sexy!"

Girl2: "Can I have your number!?"

Girl3: " I go to his school! His name's Kishinuma!"

Girl4: "I'm so jealous! "

Girl5: "Can you please sing SPICE by Kagamine Len!?

Girl6: "Or Shooting star technica by Luka Megurnie!?

All Girls: "YES! PLEASE!?"

?: "HE'S MINE, BACK OFF!"

All heads turned to see a short girl with dark blue hair standing with her hands on her hips. Her face flushed, she marched over to me and grabbed my wrist, leading me to an unknown destination.

Me: "Shi-shinozaki?" I muttered as she dragged me outside the karaoke building. She stopped as we entered an alley way.

Me: "Do you mind exp-" She slapped me across the face.

Me: "Ouch! What the hell was th-" She silenced me with her lips, quickly pulling away and blushing. I blushed too.

Me: "Now I'm confused." I said, rubbing the cheek where she slapped me. She giggled.

Ayumi: "The slap was for confessing to me through some Vocaloid song. The kiss was for having the courage to do it." She said as she removed my hand and kissed my cheek. I blushed even harder.

Me: "H-h-how'd you know it was for you?" I studdered.

Ayumi: "Mochida already told me what was going to happen. "

Me:"Damn him!" I yelled as I shook my fist in the air.

Ayumi: "Calm down. " She said before kissing my cheek.

As she pulled away, I pushed her against the wall and pressed my self up against her. She gasped, giving me the opportunity to push my tounge into her mouth. We stayed like that, French kissing, for a while before I pulled away. We both panted as we stared each other in the eyes.

Me: "I don't think I want to loose my innocence in an alley way, so I'll be going back inside." I joked as I left her against the wall with a confused look on her face. I only laughed when I heard her angrily shout my name into the air.

Me: "Suki, daisuki" I muttered before walking inside.
