Hoshitani saw his soul mate on rainy day, but...his soul mate never saw him. He decides to go to Ayanagi Academy to find him, and partly to be like him.

Sighing after a long day of auditions, he traces him mark, a black starling with a single star on its wing, right on his hand. He thinks about how he'd messed up the auditions, then to the senpai that walked in for on the back door. 'He felt familiar... Could he be my soul mate? ... No. Don't get your hopes up. He might not be, but... He might.' Sighing again, he goes to sleep, 'I just want...to see you, my soul mate.'


The next day, he's surprised to find out that he made it onto a Star Team. Excited, he vows to himself to find his soul mate, and to do his best.


At the first practice, his acting... could've been worse. He'll have to thank Kuga later.

"Hoshitani, could I speak with you?" Otori asks. Hoshitani felt his own anxiety, but stays put. He tells Nayuki that he'll meet up with him later.

"What is it, senpai?" Hoshitani asks curiously, trying to stop his fingers from fidgeting. Otori simply smiles, then shows his hand, revealing his mark. A black starling with a single star on its wing.

Hoshitani blinks in surprise. Then, eyes full of longing, Hoshitani presents his mark, and the two put their hands together, fingers intertwining. It feels right.

Using his other hand, Otori cups the younger's face, Hoshitani blushing slightly. Seeing the pretty red on the other's face, Otori lightly traces his fingers on his cheeks, feeling how hot it is.

Hoshitani leans into his touch, then says, "Hope I haven't kept you waiting, senpai."

Otori smiles, "It's alright. ... Are you going to tell the others?"

Hoshitani thinks about it for a second, "There's no reason to keep it a secret, so yes. But... I'll prove to them that I belong here."

Otori blinks then smiles again, "Good." Hoshitani smiles back.

Otori leans in, pressing his lips against Hoshitani's, Hoshitani smiling into it, causing Otori to smile too.


Bonus:

Nayuki was the first to find out. He is surprised at first, but is supportive. Tengenji and Tsukigami are next to find out, and they are kind of angry, and scream favoritism. Hoshitani shuts them up by asking, "Can you guys not show favoritism to your soul mates?" That shuts them up since they do show a lot of favoritism toward their soul mates. Kuga… he's fine with it and happy for them.

Tatsumi saw it coming, Sawatari is OK with it, and Inumine is happy for everyone. Ugawa is a bit sassy about it, but is fine with it, and Toriaishi is happy for them.

Sazanami is simply happy for Otori as is Yuzuriha. But Yuzuriha wants to go on a double date with them soon. They agree for the most part. Akatsuki is a bit…OK, furious, but Hiragi calms him down. In the end, he's happy that Otori found his soul mate. If only so Hiragi could possibly be his soul mate.

Hiragi… only tells them to be careful, and to talk to him if things go South. Also, to make sure this doesn't affect their performances. Otori and Hoshitani reassure him that everything will work out somehow. Hiragi only hopes so. As for his soul mate… he's not telling.

The last to find out is Haruto, who tells them that if they need anything, to give him a call. They simply nod and thank him.
