It was my first day at work. I was a bit nervous and , for some odd reason , excited.

Who am I ? I'm a foreign student. I got offered a spot to one of Japan's best music highschools. They were the ones who paid for my flight , and who pay the rent for my little , no , minuscule apartment. But I had to pay for my food and whatever else I needed. My parents don't have a lot of money , so I decided , instead of asking them for money , I'd get a job.

So , I quickly found several places looking for a healthy , young part-timer. I picked a Kindergarten. It was the closest to my house ,and paid decently. But then again , I don't like kids. Even when I was one , I never hung around the ones my age, I always made friends with the older ones.

''I'm an idiot.'' I sighed as the teacher called for me.

She began explaining, what my duties were , how I was supposed to act , what I should tell the parents in certain situations , then she explained that half of the children there were orphans and lived in the building ,and bunch of other stuff. Then she patted my shoulder and said ''Good luck.''

I faked a smile and went in the ''play-room''

It was one hour later , around 3:30pm, that some other person entered the building. Not a parent. The person who came in was a teenage guy. I'm sure he was around my age. A bit taller than me. Beautiful red-hair and sparkling happy eyes.

''Helloooo everyone ! I'm home !'' he greeted

''Otoya ! Come here for a bit. '' the very same teacher who instructed me called for him.

''This here is Y/N-chan . She's our new part-timer. It's her first day here so , help her around. Not that she's not doing a good job.'' she finished , after throwing me a quick death-glare like look. I don't think she likes me.

''Hiya!'' he smiled at me , scratching the back of his head. ''I'm Ittoki Otoya.''

''Hey ! I'm __ _ . '' I smiled myself

That was the day I met him. About one year before he began attending Saotome.

That day , I forgot about my job , or about the fact that I was starting school in a week , and all I did was chat with Ittoki-kun. He was really sweet , and a bit clueless, but it felt nice to be around him. He told me that , like those kids , he was an orphan himself and that he was raised in the Kindergarten. I felt bad for him .

The second day , I brought my guitar with me , thinking I could teach the kids a few songs. Ittoki-kun was already there when my shift started. That means from 2:30pm to 6:30. He was shocked when he saw me carrying a guitar case , then he giggled , disappeared for 2 minutes (he probably went to his room) and came back with a guitar of his own.

''You play guitar Y/N-chan ?''

''Yep , been playing for a long time.''

''Let's play something together, ne ! ''

We played untill past 8pm. Most of the kids were gone. Half of the orphans fell asleep , the rest were still listening to us play.

I looked at the frog-shaped clock hanging on the wall , and jumped up.

''Crap! it's late ! '' I said in my native language. Good thing too , cause I don't think the teacher would have been happy if she heard me spouting words like ''crap'' in front of the kids.

''Hm ? Oh ,it's late Y/N-chan ! Want me to walk you home ?''

I smiled and said ''If you don't mind.''

We talked all the way home. I learned a few things about him , and he learned a few things about me. He seemed really happy after I told him that my birthday was three days after his. It amused me.

I found out that Ittoki-kun and I were in the same class at school. I was really happy about that. I didn't know why , I just felt really comfortable around him.

The time passed , and it was already New Year's Eve. I was a bit sad that I wasn't going to spend it with my family , but , the teacher , who kinda got used to me by now , told me I could celebrate it with them , at the Kindergarten. I said yes.

After that , Ittoki-kun told me he was going to try to get into Saotome's music school. He loved music with all his heart and he wanted to become an idol.

Then , one day , after the entrance exams , while he was walking me home like he usually did , he asked me if I wanted a drink , like he'd sometimes ask , and I said yes. He told me he got accepted to Saotome Academy. I hugged him and told him he better not forget about me while he was there. He answered with :

''I hope I won't.'' and I hit him in the shoulder , then he put his arm around me and said ''Mou~ Y/N-chan , it'd me impossible for me to forget about you. And I'll come visit from time to time.''

''That's better.'' I told him with a smile on my face. ''And don't forget to call me and email me.''

We weren't dating or anything. I wasn't even in love with him. But I did love him. He was my best friend. And I know I was his best friend.

School started again. It was really boring without Ittoki-kun. I had other friends , but ...It just wasn't the same.

Ittoki-kun would call me everyday , except for the times when he was too busy or tired. He kept talking about this Nanami Haruka girl , and how talented she is and that she's pretty too. I realized he had a crush on her. I wasn't jealous though. I was happy for him. At least in the beginning.

He also talked about his roommate Ichinose Tokiya , and his classmates Hijirikawa Masato and Shinomiya Natsuki. About his homeroom teacher and about Tokiya's classmate's Jinguji Ren and Kurusu Syo. They were all great friends , and that's what I was a bit jealous of.

He came back during a holiday.

''Y/N-chaaan~!'' I was twirled around and before I knew it I was in my friend's arms, in a warm , friendly hug.

''Ittoki-kun!''

''Mou~ Stop that ! I told you to call me Otoya.''

''Ah right , Otoya-kun.''

But our little reunion was interrupted by a bunch of kids , jumping on their Oto-nii .

I was amazed. How did he manage to handle all those kids ? He smiled , laughed and talked to them all the time and he never got annoyed. And then , when he wanted time for himself , he told them to leave him for a bit , and the little devils would agree. It was incredible.

In the evening , we went out for a walk .

''Y/N-chan. Come to Saotome ! ''

''What ? Otoya-kun ! You know I don't want to become an idol or a composer.''

''Not like that. Come meet everyone. Just for one day ...Okay, maybe two!''

''I don't know. I don't think I should leave.''

''I'll talk to the teacher and you can just leave school for a couple of , ne ! ''

''Fine.''

''Yaaay~'' he cheered as he lifted me off the ground and started spinning me around. I was almost as tall as he was , but still he managed to do it. I started laughing and he laughed too.

We spent the rest of the holiday in our usual way. He'd pick me up in the morning , then we'd go get the groceries for the Kindergarten, take care of the kids and do whatever the teacher told us to, play some music , and at the end he'd walk me back home. That was when we'd talk about anything and everything.

I was in the rehearsal room before Starish's big debut concert. I was great friends with everyone. Even with Haruka ! I think the one I got along with the best , other than Otoya-kun was Ren . He was the only person I could crack dirty jokes with. But , as I said , I was friends with everyone.

After the concert , we all went out to celebrate. Haruka , Starish and me. But then , Otoya-kun , or as I started calling him Otoyan , asked me if I wanted to go for a walk. I said yes.

''That was so much fun Y/N-chan ! I can't wait till our next concert ! ''

'' You were awesome ! You know you could've kissed Tokiya at the end though.''

''Mou ~ Stop it ! I told you there's nothing going on between us ! ''

''I know. I just like yaoi.''

He rolled his eyes and we started laughing.

''Ne, Y/N-chan ... Wanna know who I really like ? ''

'' Wait! I wanna take a guess! '' he nodded and I continued ''Ummm, Haruka ?''

''Well ...I though I liked her , but I just really love the music she makes.''

''Oh okay. Then...I KNOW ! OTOYAN you have a thing for Ringo-sensei!''

''STOP IT Y/N-chan ! '' he pouted and I stopped teasing him

''Okay , okay. I don't know. Who do you like ?''

He didn't say anything. He gently stroked my cheek and pulled me closer. Then he gave me a soft peck on the lips.

The moment he kissed me , it hit me. I was in love with him. I didn't realize it , but I really was. I felt so warm inside whenever I was with him , and he could always make me happy. And then , when he kissed me, I felt even warmer and happier than usual. I kissed him too.

But this time our kiss wasn't just a peck. It was a passionate , yet playful kiss.

We began properly dating. And Ren began properly teasing us. And Natsuki began properly calling us cute.

One day , I went to their rehearsal , like I did a lot of times. But this time was different. Saotome thought it'd be better if Starish had a live band to play with them. And Otoya told me I should try out as guitarist. And I did. And I got the job.

''AAAAH CONGRATULATIONS MISS Y/N ! BUT YOU DO KNOW ABOUT MY NO-ROMANCE RULE ! YOU CANNOT BE OUR GUITARIST UNLESS YOU STOP SEEING MISTER ITTOKI ! ''

Everyone began protesting. I didn't even have time to respond. Even Ringo and Hyuga , who were there, told him he's being unreasonable. In the end he lifted the curse ...I mean rule.

And then I got a special ''musician'' place in the Academy. So basically I wasn't there to become and idol or composer. I was perfecting my guitar-playing for Starish.

I went with them to the Master Course too. Reiji said I was cute.

Now , I live with Otoya in a beautiful apartment which we picked out together, which we furnished together and which Ren calls our love-nest.

Every night , after concerts , events , rehearsals , or simply going out , we cuddle in our bed , and every morning I wake up with my head on his chest.

We're still best friends.

Whew ! That was interesting to write. I love Otoya so much 3

Now , if you want a Love Story for yourself , let me know through a pm or a review and I'll get to it as fast as I can.

It would help me if you told me a bit about your personality , but that isn't necessary if you don't want to.

I really hope you enjoyed it ^_^ Let me know what you think

Thanks ;)
