The night sky was always Lily's non-human best friend. The blonde would often go up to the rooftop of her house, and then just lay there. She would look up at the stars in the sky. The moon would always look so pleasing to look at for her. The stars glittering in the night sky would almost bring a tear to her eye.

Sometimes, the blonde thought that she could be one of them up there. One of those stars. Whenever she needed a break from humanity, Lily wished she could just...disappear and be with the stars in the sky. On the rare occasions, she would see a shooting star in the sky.

Lily was all too familiar with what you should do when you see a shooting star. While you see it, you make a wish. Then, eventually, the wish might come true.

"Bullshit..." She thought to herself. There isn't any way that a moving star that's near the heavens could ever grant someone's selfish wish.

But she did have some inner wishes in her heart, so she might as well try it.

Deep in her heart, she was in love. This one man managed to steal her heart. Generally, Lily hated humans, both male and female. The blonde thought that falling in love and someone being in love with her as a whole, would just be ridiculous. But what did this man do to make her heartstrings tug?

Kaito has been the only man close to her and the only man who she ever looked forward to seeing. Within one week, they became best friends, but then somewhere along the second week she fell in love with him. At first, she dismissed it as some kind of girly crush that every girl goes though.

But that wasn't the case. She would miss him badly when he was gone. Lily would feel extremely disappointed when she didn't see Kaito in the usual spots. Plus, he'd be the only one who makes her laugh and smile. But this was the clincher: She would feel so sad and lonely whenever he saw her with Hatsune Miku.

They were partners, her and Kaito. She envied her to the point of extreme jealousy. She had begun to have feelings of contempt for her. But she didn't want any trouble, so she let it go. But even worse was the fact that she was dealing with rumors of them dating. With how close the two are, it had to be true. But neither of them has confirmed this.

They were at the top, while Lily was nearly at the bottom just having started her career in making music. Her goal in life was to portray the feelings she has for life into her music. It was a common reason among amateur music producers for sure but it was the best purpose she could find for her music. It made her mildly successful but she wasn't satisfied with her progress.

Her deep thought would be disturbed by the ringing of her phone. Hearing the vibration noise greatly irked her, especially since she was in the middle of being in deep thought about her life situation. Upon checking the caller ID, she found that it was Kaito that was trying to contact her.

Huh, that's strange. Why would Kaito call this late, she asked herself. Her initial frustration subsides and she feels curiosity rising within her. She answers the phone.

"Hello?" Lily asked like a curious child.

"Hey, Lily. Sorry to call so late."

"No shit. Why are you calling? Can't it wait till morning?"

"Actually, it kind of can't..."

"Well, what is it? Spit it out." Lily doesn't like beating around the bush.

"I need to tell you in person. Can you unlock the door? I'm right outside your house."

That surprised Lily. Kaito was right outside her house? It must be that urgent for Kaito to tell her something he wanted to tell her. Silently, Lily looked down from the rooftop that was at the front of her house to see that Kaito really was at her doorstep. That made her eyes widen slightly.

"Hello? Are you there?" She saw him talking into his phone.

"Look above you."

Soon enough, Kaito did and once he saw Lily, he got slightly startled. "Oh! L-Lily! What are you doing up there?"

Lily ignored the urge to laugh at Kaito's expression of surprise and said nonchalantly, "Just doing some stargazing here. I guess you can call it my hobby. Wanna join me?"

Kaito nodded his head eagerly at her as his response.

Lily smirked at him. "Great. Use the ladder at the right side of my house and climb up, if you dare."

Kaito sarcastically laughed at her. "Ha, ha, ha. Very funny. I'll be up in about a minute."

After those sixty seconds elapsed, Kaito finished climbing up the ladder. Unsteadily, he pulled himself up on the rooftop of Lily's home. He couldn't stand on the irregular rooftop that was anything but consistently flat. Her house had a few pointed spots, so the rooftop wasn't exactly easy to stand on.

While watching himself, Kaito made his way to Lily. Once he did, he sat cross-legged beside her. He looked at the blonde beside him and saw that she was snickering so hard, trying to contain herself. "What?" He asked as he leered at her.

Lily's face was red from holding in her laugher. "You were so cute coming all the way over here. It's like watching a baby crawl from point A to point B!"

Kaito groaned out loud. But then again, seeing her smile meant almost everything to him. "At least you're smiling." He said with his feelings slightly leaking out.

Lily cleared her throat to get serious again. "Okay, Kaito. So what did you want to tell that you wanted to see little old me?"

Kaito scratched the left side of his face with his left index finger as he said while struggling to look at her face, "Well, if you really want me to be honest... I just missed you."

"Oh, really?" Lily asked as she quirked one of her eyebrows at him.

Kaito averted his eyes from Lily as he quietly looked in the opposite direction of him. Lily looked at him intently, trying to figure out what's going through his mind, right now.

The blue-haired man took a deep breath before he sighed and said, "I'm planning to quit tomorrow."

A gasp escaped Lily's mouth. She doesn't get caught off-guard often but this kind of news certainly did. Him? He has great fortune and he's just planning to just forfeit it? "H-Huh? K-Kaito." Her voice was starting to break. "Wh-what's going on? So suddenly? I don't understand."

"You will, soon enough." Kaito said to Lily as he glanced over at her shocked expression. He still wasn't looking directly at her. He continued, "There are two reasons why I want to quit. The first, reason is... I'm sick of lying to myself."

"What?" Lily was dumbfounded. She had never heard her distant best friend Kaito act like this. Kaito was a quirky man but she never expected him to make a move like this. She wondered, when did it ever cross his mind to make a decision like this? "...Lying to yourself? What do you mean?"

Kaito said as he looked up at the moon's glow, "...I've been lying to myself for ten years and it all started in high school. For ten years, I've been trying to erase these feelings. For ten years, I've been thankful for what I have but regretful for never truly chasing the thing I desired. But for ten years, I've watched. And now, I'm certain that I'm not making an incorrect decision by doing this."

"What was the thing you were chasing all this time?" Lily asked, genuinely curious. She was very interested, now. Her forehead was started to sweat. The blonde was actually starting to become fearful of where Kaito could be going with his whole speech.

"That brings me to the second reason," Kaito said as he looked over at the blonde.

Her left eyebrow rose. "And that is?"

Kaito struggled to look her in the eye but he made sure that their pupils were in perfect alignment with each other. "...She's sitting right in front of me."

Lily felt her heart jump. She's sitting in front of him? No, he can't mean... "C-Come again?"

Kaito lowered his head slightly before he repeated himself. "Yeah... I like you, Lily."

The blonde was speechless. How was she supposed to react to that? To think that he's willing to throw away his high status to be with a nobody like her? She just... It felt like she was dreaming.

Lily turned around away from Kaito, nervous to face him again as she said to him, "...No you don't. You really don't. I don't believe you."

Kaito almost expected Lily to be skeptical of him. He's known her for a long time, so he's not exactly surprised to see her responding coldly to him. He fell silent; the feeling of rejection was seeping into his skin.

The blonde wasn't buying it. The shooting star was granting her wish? No, it can't be that. It must be a dream. She has not known any fortune throughout her life, so why would it decide to turn up now?

Lily's face that was turned away from the man turned red as she said to him, "Why would you have feelings for a total bitch like me? Don't mock me."

"Do you really think I'm lying? Why would I lie confessing my love?" Kaito asked with the hurt feeling in his voice.

"Because..." Lily looked down on the roof as she was turned around and shook her head. "That's just impossible. How can you ever love someone like me? I'm light-years behind you and Miku. My music hasn't nearly gathered as much fans as hers does." Suddenly, Lily felt a hand on her right shoulder. It was Kaito's left hand.

Gently, Kaito turned her around. Then, the blonde felt something dripping down her face; she was crying like a baby.

There was nothing she could do to hold back the tears. The blonde admired him from afar for such a long time and suddenly, in the dead middle of night, he shows up and confessed to her like this.

"Lily..." Kaito gently removed his own hand from her shoulder. "...I knew you had feelings for me. It was all so different the way you interacted with me, compared to how you typically do with people."

"O-of course I liked you, Kaito..." Her eyes were practically a waterfall of tears. Her face maintained that reddened colouration. "...You have a great voice. You've been my best friend. No man has ever bothered to stick with me for so long. You told me to never give up and continue doing what I love. But..." Lily sniveled for a few seconds before continuing. "...There isn't a reason for you to love someone like me... I'm nobody compared to her."

"Be quiet, Lily." Kaito suddenly interrupted her. "...Do I look like I even cared about how behind you were compared to her? When I look at you, I see someone who's always been there for me. I see someone who's never abandoned me, even after I betrayed her three times. You had plenty of chances to leave me during those three times. I'm sure we both know why you didn't take them."

Lily didn't answer. Instead she just waited for Kaito continue.

Kaito swallowed his saliva before continuing, "What I'm saying is that... I don't care about fame, I don't care about having money, and I don't care about how high I am on the music pyramid. ...Just you. When I look at you, I see only someone who's never left my side. Not a singer, a wonderful and beautiful woman."

The blonde still couldn't say anything. Really, what the hell could she even say to him at this point?

Kaito slowly reached out with his hands and held both sides of her body at around the stomach area. "To tell you the truth, I was scared of facing the feeling of being rejected by you. But sometimes, you need to take a risk when you feel that the time is right. Then, I asked myself, 'What would she do'?"

Lily gasped. Her heart was pounding a hundred times per second. They were just words that anybody could say but the way how he was looking at her let the blond know that he was dead serious. She could fell the warmth of his hands on her sides. The blonde didn't reject their touch. It felt nice...

The man continued as he looked deep into her eyes, as if trying to penetrate them. "I asked myself that question over and over. Then, I answered my own question. I said that she deserved the right to know. Also, if she were in my position, she would take a risk as well. I gathered my courage and as I kept her in the back of my head. That same woman who I admired for her bravery, courage, and guts, deserved the right to know from her closest friend, how he really feels about her."

The blonde knew that would be a tough act to follow. What was she supposed to say to that? The man who she admired from afar was admitting to her all these things. The man she likes liked her back. What were the odds that her deepest desire would come true? Instead of words, she just embraced him tightly.

Kaito was startled at first but he gently embraced her back. He could feel Lily's body shaking rather violently as he heard her sobbing with a low tone.

He cooed to her, "Lily, look at me..."

Silently and without thinking, she obeyed.

When their faces became parallel to each other as they embraced, Kaito pressed his lips onto hers. It was like a strong magnetic attraction between the two. It felt like they were exchanging volts of electricity with each other. The gentle cool breeze blew on the two, making the kiss feel cold and soft.

Suddenly, the blonde pulled away from him, panting. How long were they kissing before she had to pull away?

"I...uh...wow... You were serious about me, huh?" She said through her bated breath.

Kaito nodded, taking deep quantities of oxygen at a time. "Yeah... I love you very much, Lily... I've always loved you. No one else..."

"Y-Yeah?"

The man nodded. He had enough. He wanted-no, needed her here and now. "I-I can't stand it anymore. I want to close this distance between us once and for all."

Lily's eyebrows rose. "And how do you propose we do that?"
