Hello guys I think it's been so long since I last updated hope you're still out there...
Please bear the mistakes you are going to encounter
I do not own love live
Nozomi POV
It is my first day as a student at Otonokizaka again, I just hope that everthing goes fine especially my relationship with my classmates... sigh I wish they wouldn't be mean to me like my first year here just because Im dating the most popular guy at that time well things had change Im no longer dating that popular guy and I certainly won't let them ruin my last year in high school I will definitely enjoy myself no matter what happen
"Toujo-san you can come in and introduce yourself"
my teacher called me, god I am so nervous I kept telling myself to act cool and give them my brightest smile in order to have a good impression. I believe that this will be a good school year for me since my cards told me so, my only concern here is whether a certain blonde will become my classmate again which I hope not
"hello everyone my name is Toujo Nozomi for the past two years I study overseas so I hope you could take care of me"
I can here my classmates whispering with each other, I couldn't fully understand what they were talking about but I guess I really got their interest. I think I made a good impression to them except to that one at the back near the window... even though his glaring at me now and I think he really wanted to kill me, Im still happy to see him again
"it-s... you! the boob monster!"
eh... isn't this so cliche? this scene always happen whenever a transferee introduce themselves and to think this will happen to me is really interesting.
"aww~ isn't it little Nikocchi..."
Im really glad that he's here I guess he really is telling the truth about being a third year, maybe I should apologize then tease him later...
"Nishikino! shouting and calling your new classmate with that name isn't only rude but also shameless!"
"b-but sensei"
"enough! get out of the classroom and reflect for your wrong doing"
My~ I guess I cause trouble there, I should apologize to him later
Niko POV
I can't believe I got kick out from the classroom because of that girl! and to top it all my classmates see me now as a pervert although Im just telling the truth! sigh maybe I should just eat my lunch and forget about her...
"hey Nikocchi, can I sit beside you?"
speaking of the devil, maybe if I give her a glare she will leave me alone besides I hate the ways she's calling me Nikocchi again what a weird nickname
"come on ... Im here to say Im sorry for the commotion in the class and for mistaking you as a child"
she gave me a bright smile there's no way that I would fall for that its not like its captivating as Maki chan's smile for me her smile is still the best maybe if I ignore her, she will leave me alone for good
so here it is I completely ignore this beautiful girl in front of me, I thought I won already but it seems like she run out of patience as well and instead of living me alone for good this monster invaded my personal space too close in my liking whispering words in my ears
"Ne Nikocchi... Im sorry okay~ I'll do anything you want if you forgive me"
too close!... she's too damn close! to the point I can smell her alluring scent! god are all girls smell this way? she's too much for me I can't handle her!
"okay! okay! I forgive you already!"
"thanks Nikocchi... oh by the way Im Tojou Nozomi, just call me Nozomi okay"
ha... that was dangerous, this woman is dangerous she's not only beautiful but she's also forceful, she didn't even ask if its okay to eat her lunch beside me
"lets be friends Nikocchi..."
huh? why does it sounds so sincere and sad at the same time? what is wrong with her?! why on earth the atmoshere suddenly change?! ugh! I can't let her down there's something in her eyes that is preventing me
"f-fine Nozomi..."
"that's great Nikocchi! I'll be in your care"
hehehe... just what did I get myself into?
Maki POV
"Maki chan are you okay?"
my friend Hanayo ask me after our afternoon class ended, she waited for our classmates to leave so there's only the two of us in the classroom
"Im fine Hanayo... why do you ask?
"well you seem conflicted about something since you came back from lunch"
sigh I guess I can't hide anything from Hanayo after all she is my only friend in class
"is it about you brother again?"
she whispers carefully so that no other people could here our conversation...
"yeah... it is about him again... I know already that it is impossible for the two of us to be together but still, it hurts just to see him"
Hanayo is my one and only friend that I could entrust my secret in other words she knows my feelings about Niko and I really appreciate her concern for asking me
"Maki chan... I can't say anything that could erase the burden in your heart"
Hanayo embrace me... I am thankful that I have a friend like her, at first I am having a second thought if I should tell her about my secret. I was really afraid that time, you know falling in love with your brother isn't quite normal but she accepted me for who I am, I thought she will be disgusted to someone like me
"I don't have any idea of things you have been going through Maki but if there is one thing I can guarantee you is that I am always here, you can tell me anything to lessen the burden you know"
"I know and I am thankful for that in some other time I'll tell you everything"
"and I'll be waiting, come on lets go home"
"okay... but you can go first I am going to meet up with Umi"
"s-sure I'll go ahead take care Maki"
sigh... I see something in Hanayo's eyes she knew why Im seeing Umi but didn't say anything and I really appreciate that, my conscience is bothering me enough already...
I go to the music room to wait for Umi, it seems like he still had archery practice... hai so I am going to wait for him huh...
"what should I do? Im hurting so much because of you"
I said to nobody, my hands lightly touch the piano keys and play some music as I remember him once again
play for me Maki chan!
"idiot Im playing only for you"
Niko is always been my inspiration in playing the piano, ever since I was a child I always wanted his attention and to see him so happy listening to my music gave me a great satisfaction
"I love you but it hurts to see you with someone else"
I suddenly stop from playing the piano, I already lost my inspiration on playing... what can this thing do if the person Im playing it for is no longer listening to its sound, what is the benefits can it do for me if his attention and happiness is now with someone else?
I still remember Niko with that girl they look really close with each other literally, the purple haired girl lean on him closely whispering words that made him blush madly... I never saw him like that let alone with a girl... when I saw the two of them together I realize that ...
Im starting to lose him...
tears began to fall in my eyes without knowing it, why do I have to feel this way towards my brother...
"Maki?... what's wrong? why are you crying?"
shit! I didn't notice Umi was already here looking at me in concern, I immediatly wipe away my tears. I don't want him to see me like this
"n-nothing"
"you are not going to cry like that if its nothing Maki"
"I-I told you it was nothi-.."
Umi embrace me suddenly while patting my head lightly, I was shock at first but the warm from his body made me relax for a moment
"don't worry I won't ask you anything Maki, I just want you to know Im here always"
"thank you Umi for understanding"
I returned Umi's embrace Im just really happy that there is someone who understand me. Im really glad that Umi is here, his selflessness is one of the things I admire the most about him. I know that I am being unfair to Umi for now but I know someday there is going to be a time where I could learn to love him, that's why I am taking my chances with him
"Maki chan! Sato san said that he can't take us hom-..."
my eyes widen Niko suddenly burst out from the door without even knocking, his eyes is looking at me and Umi while I am still sobbing in his embrace. I need to clarify this misunderstanding any moment now Niko will surely...
"what did you do to my little sister!"
too late, he grab Umi to his collar and forcefully yank him away from me
"Nishikino san, you got it all wrong... Im just trying to comfort her"
thank god Umi is still calm while dealing with Niko, my brother has a really short temper he won't accept any logical reason when his anger took over him
"stop it already Niko!"
I push him with all my might making him loose his balance and hit his head on the edge of the piano. He immediatly stand on his feet and glare at Umi neglecting the redness on his head...
"then why are you crying?!"
I wanted to yell that it is because of him but I am more concern about his head, I can see some blood forming in it.
"Niko we need to check your head let's go to the hospital okay"
"Now you're concern! you didn't even felt sorry when you push me!"
"fine Im sorry so stop being unreasonable!"
I really can't take it anymore, he is causing me too much misery with or without knowing it
"that't enough you two, Nishikino san I think your sister is right. I'll give the two of you a ride to the hospital"
"No need Im fine! Im going home on my own Maki"
I watch as Niko leave, I hate myself more even though we had a fight I can't help but to feel worried about him...
"that idiot!...sigh sorry you have to see that Umi"
"its okay.. his your brother Maki, he was just protecting you"
"I know but still-... do you think his alright? he might hit his head too hard"
"I think his fine Maki, just apologize to him when you get home"
"thank you Umi..."
"you're welcome Maki"
Eli POV
I heard from Umi that Nozomi is back from overseas study, I really wanted to meet her so that I can apologize to her personally. We didn't end up on good terms but she's still someone important to me, Nozomi is my very first friend that's why no matter what happen I still wanted to save that kind of relationship we used to had...
I made my way to the exit of school when I saw 'her', surprise by her sudden appearance I immediatly hide at the side of the locker and observe her, wow she looks more beautiful than the last time I saw her. I think puberty hits her pretty good, now... now don't get me wrong but I am not a pervert I just appreciate the beauty that I see
yet you didn't appreciate her before right?
I was aware of that okay! its just I am so afraid of her, Nozomi can see through me easily I just don't know how to deal with her at that time besides I am experiencing too much stress with work and my family and I can't tell her that because she's also had a problem with her father forcing her to leave with him in states...
sigh enough with the past, I was so absorb on my thoughts when she suddely looked at my way while waving her hand, c-crap! she's looking this way! what should I do? is she no longer mad at me? whatever I'll approach her and find out myself
"seriously... what's her deal now?"
I was about to made my way to Nozomi when suddenly a guy with a black hair approach her instead, he seems irritated with the idea that Nozomi waited for him...
"hello Nikocchi~..."
"what do you want?"
that doesn't sound nice, Nozomi waited for him yet this is how he treat her, unaffected by the guy's demeanor Nozomi just gave him a smile.
"well Im just waiting for you, friends wait for each other right?..."
friend? so he is Nozomi's new friend well he doesn't act like one.
"seriously what kind of logic is t-tha! ouch! watch it!"
I watch them as Nozomi grasp the head of the other guy, I don't know what's up with him but I think he over reacts for a moment there
"you're hurt Nikocchi, what happen?"
Nozomi look at the guy with so much concern, I know we are done already and the fact that I hurt her will never change but why do I feel this way? why does it hurt to see that she's looking at the other guy the same way she's looking at me before? I am the one who left her after all right...
"I hit my head somewhere but Im fine..."
"I don't think you're fine Nikocchi, look there's a blood forming in it"
Nozomi hold the wrist of the boy firmly and drag him againts his will. She never change huh... she used to do that to me everytime I overworked myself, she's always there to stop me when I am already exhausted everytime I keep myself on working, Nozomi is the one who's always keeping me on the track. I guess I really do missed her a lot, I miss the way she's taking care of me, if I could go back in time I will try my best to keep her with me. I know I am being selfish and all but I do realize now that I needed her, I seriously hope that it isn't too late for reconciliation..
"where the hell do you think you're taking me?!"
"to the infirmary of course, we need to put an ice on it or something"
"I told you Im fine! didn't I"
"shut up Nikocchi, don't force me to punish you"
"tch! fineeee"
"now that's my boy~"
I watch the two of them leave, did I heard her right? are the two of them dating? they don't look good with each other first of all his too short for her... besides Nozomi, sh- she's my-
"Eli? what are you still doing here? didn't you said you'll go home first"
"Kotori, I was just... you know..."
crap! I hope Kotori didn't see me eavesdropping those two
"did you wait for me?... Eli darling you're so sweet! I love you!"
"yes, of course! hahaha"
Kotori made her way to me and hug me tightly I instinctively do the same. I forgot I already have a girlfriend, that I am the one who left Nozomi to be with another girl. I guess I don't have the right to be jealous after all it is only normal for Nozomi to move on and date someone else
"Kotori... I love you too"
"hm"
I need to control myself, I love Kotori she's the one I chose after all it would be idiotic to ruin what we had now. Remember Eli she's the one who understands you the most and take you back without question whenever you do something wrong.
just forget Nozomi...
forget the guilt you felt for her...
just forget her Eli...
