Notes:

So, yeah, we are back.
After Chapter 3 we thought there was some inconsistency between Chapter 3 of Feelings Under a Mask and Chapter 2 of Masquerade ( Remember they are connected), the things that happened on FUaM Ch03 happened before Masquerade Ch02, so its not clear how we see a broken Nanaka and later on the next day (Masquerade Ch02) she is perfectly fine.
Something might have happened in those few hours.
So Misha (the Author of FUaM) gave us a Christmas/new year present and kindly wrote a new chapter to clarify this "events".
Please enjoy!

Feelings Under a Mask.

Chapter 4.

You could hear loud sounds coming out from the room.

Sounds of the headboard hitting ceaselessly against the wall; wet and sticky sounds getting louder with every hit of the headboard.

Sounds of sheets moving fervently back and forwards; plushies and pillows falling off the bed.

Loud moans, grunts, and whimpers.

They never stopped. Especially moaning, they were extremely loud and high pitched.

The room was a mess; the futon, which was supposed to be besides the bed, was totally messed up around the room; clothes were scattered throughout the place.

The atmosphere inside was intense, the mixture of sweat and panting made the room suffocating with heat; the windows, of course, were all foggy.

Sounds of hips incrementing their peace, followed by wetter sounds, louder grunts and how one of them intensified her grip on the sheets.

It ended with a louder and higher moan.

Silence came back to the room for a brief moment, until the panting started with a heavy breathing.

"My...Su...Suwa..."

She tried to catch her breath, at the same time she tried to soften her grip on the sheets

"Suwawa...I .."

She swallowed hard and with difficulty, her throat was dry, her tongue was totally out of her mouth, her lips asking for water; her sight was blurry, not knowing if it was because of all the sweat, tears, or because she was at the edge of fainting. Maybe all of that.

"I think I can't come anymore..." She said finally, panting.

"I'm not done, Aina"

Her cold tone made her shiver; Aina blinked a few times to clear her tears, and tried to actually focus her sight on the woman on top of her.

Nanaka was glued almost literally to her groin; she could see her body covered in soft light coming from the foggy window and through the curtains, it made Nanaka's body looked hot, sexy, sticky and sweaty.
Her fabulous four pack, which made her wet, was still there for her to admire; her sight traveled from her tights abs to her cute chest, she lost her time in Nanaka's collarbone, her sight followed up to her face and then...

She opened her eyes wide, recovering her senses; she swallowed hard, it was almost painfully due to her dry throat, she tried to lick her lips and put her tongue back in her mouth. Then looked at Nanaka with sad eyes.

Nanaka was looking down at her, her eyes darkened in pain. There was no lust in her, no love, no passion; Suwa Nanaka wasn't there.

"Suwawa, I..."

Tried Aina, but her throat was too dry to even speak.

Nanaka didn't say a word nor blinked, she just effortlessly moved her hips forward once again, making Aina moan loud and arch her back, then she stopped.

"You still can moan."

Said Nanaka, coldly looking down at her with her darkened expression.

Aina looked at her with more tears gathering in her eyes; she swallowed again.

"Suwawa, I... I can't feel my legs anymore..."

She said with pleading eyes and a little whimper.

"Let me rest..."

Aina was having trouble breathing; her legs were entwined with Nanaka's, she couldn't move her lower half, her left arm was almost numb at her side, softly grabbing the sheets while her right arm was numb above her head.

Nanaka didn't take her eyes away from her; she was studying Aina's body carefully.

"If you can still talk and moan, you can still fuck"

She said coldly, her tone was low and senseless.

Aina whined.

"You were supposed to lack energy!" said Aina gathering all the energy she had left "Where is this stamina coming from?!"

"Anger."

Nanaka said coldly, her dark eyes meeting Aina's big, black and watery eyes.

Aina gave her a sad look, she tightened her lips.

Nanaka bent down forward to reach Aina's dry lips; the motion made her hips move once again, making Aina moan in what Nanaka thought was pleasure, but maybe now was it from pain.

Nanaka stopped a few millimeters away from her lips.

"You started this, and now you want me to stop?"

Aina's lips shivered; Nanaka's dark eyes were looking into Aina's soul. She felt intimidated by Nanaka's position, gaze and power over her.

Aina was in doubt, never in this past 3 years, she had seen Nanaka this mad. But maybe she wasn't just mad, she was hurt, betrayed, broken, so maybe the word was just: empty.

"You should sing your lines in 'Daydream Warrior' with this face..."

Aina said in a shy tone; even if Nanaka was this empty, mad, angry or whatever, she couldn't deny that she looked so damn sexy.

"'It must be a bad dream'"

Said Nanaka with a husky voice, following the song's tone, twitching her right eye while looking at Aina.

Aina opened her eyes wide in surprise, gasped and tightened her lips.

Nanaka could feel Aina's hips lifting a bit from their spot; they made contact with her wet and sticky lower half.

Nanaka hummed at this behavior.

"I think I came again..."

Said Aina shyly, her cheeks red in embarrassment; she gave Nanaka a coy smile.

Nanaka licked her lips.

"Then we can continue..."

"No! Wait!"

Said Aina loudly, her eyes in panic once again.

"Suwawa, we have been doing it for like hours!"

Aina's right hand tried to move to the nightstand beside the bed to reach Nanaka's phone.

"No!"

Said Nanaka and grabbed Aina's right wrist.

"Not the phone." She said coldly, looking at the phone with anger and hate.

Aina looked at her wrist, then looked at Nanaka with concern; Nanaka's eyes glued to the phone.

"Suwawa you are hurting me..." She said softly, looking at Nanaka.

Nanaka turned to see Aina.

"She is not here," Aina said again with a soft tone.

"And of course, she is not in your phone..."

Aina could see that something broke again in Nanaka's soul. Somehow, her dark expression was softening, so she continued.

"And you are hurting my wrist"

Nanaka's grip on Aina's wrist softened and then she blinked, trying to control herself.

"And, I'm really tired... I can't cum anymore,"
She said really exhausted and tired, but keeping her soft tone
"Remember we have to be early to record, and we have been fucking for God knows how long... I'm tired..."
She said with a pant.

"And thirsty!" she added with her high pitch.

Nanaka hummed.

She took a deep breath and then she moved backward; again her motion made Aina shiver and grunt because of their entwined legs and low halves.

Nanaka looked at Aina with her empty and dark gaze; Aina looked so messed up.

She blinked a few times and then got up with difficulty from Aina's groin; her legs were numb, sweaty and sticky. This movement made Aina whimper; again she couldn't recognize if this was because of pleasure or pain, but Aina felt somehow relieved.

Nanaka stood straight besides the bed, looking down at Aina with an empty look, Aina was trying to stretch her numb legs.

"I'll be right back"

Nanaka said coldly, walking out of her room, carefully so as not trip with the messy futon, clothes or whatever was in her way.

"Ow...Take all..ow...your time..."

Nanaka could hear Aina's words while leaving.

She walked with difficulty into the hallway, her legs were still numb and shaky, so she helped herself by leaning on the wall to get to the kitchen.

After the big bomb Aina dropped on her on the floor of her room hours earlier, she couldn't help but cry and scream in pain.

Shuka cheated on her.

Nanaka had tried so hard to control herself all night with Aina around; she even cried because of feeling of guilt about a kiss. And then she realized that Shuka had done worse.

She could recall her conversations with Shuka on the photoshoot; how hypocritical had Shuka been to tell her all her insecurities and jealousy of Aina, when she was cheating already!

Somehow something broke within her, she couldn't stop crying over Aina's forehead for what it felt like a lifetime.

Then she recalled a few hours ago, both laying on the floor, she was almost naked and just being eaten out, when Shuka told her that she wanted "this" to stay forever.

She wanted to fool her forever.

And suddenly she stopped crying.

Maybe she ran out of tears.

Her eyes darkened, without thinking and feeling anymore, she grabbed Aina's puffy cheeks, bent down once again, and kissed her.

Aina was surprised of course, but then Nanaka started to hungrily kiss her. So she kissed back; that kiss grew into something long, wet and messy again.

When Nanaka broke the kiss, Aina couldn't say a thing before Nanaka took Aina's tiny body up and started undressing her while kissing desperately.

She undressed really quickly too, and they started fucking.

Correction; Nanaka started fucking Aina.

Nanaka didn't let Aina touch her or to give her any pleasure, she was absorbed in making Aina moan and whimper with pleasure, the loudest the better.

She had been all over her, she made a mess on the floor, the futon, then moved to the bed, against the window, and then the bed again.

Aina couldn't say a word, orgasm after orgasm, Nanaka just couldn't be stopped.

It was just a few minutes ago that Aina stopped moaning and actually said something.

Nanaka stood in front of the fridge, feeling the cold of the tiles under her bare feet.

She looked up at the clock on the kitchen wall; it was 04:15 in the morning and they had to be at 08:00 am sharp on the Lantis building to record.

She blinked.

Aina had just let her fuck her raw and senseless all this time without saying a thing.

Nanaka opened the fridge to take out a bottle of water, then closed it.

Why don't I feel guilty about that...?

With the same pace, she returned to her room.

She wasn't surprised to realize that her room no longer smelled sweet and clean.

Aina was sitting on the bed, her arms grabbing her knees; she looked sad.

Nanaka walked towards her and gave her the bottled water.

"Here..."

Aina looked up at Nanaka with a sad face, shyly said a soft "thank you" and took the bottle.

While Aina opened the bottle, Nanaka took a seat on the bed; she looked at Aina with her "Suwa face", her gaze was no longer dark, but still she wasn't like herself.

Aina took long sips of the bottle, she was really thirsty.

Nanaka didn't say a thing until she heard a loud "ah~!" from Aina; she drank almost half of the bottle.

"I'm sorry..." said Nanaka with her face down.

Aina took another sip.

"I think I broke"

Nanaka said with her cold tone and kept looking at her feet.

"I know..." said Aina softly, leaving the bottle on the nightstand, Nanaka lifted her eyes to meet hers.

Nanaka was greeted by Aina's big black eyes and a coy smile, she didn't look mad or anything.

"You know, I love having sex with you,"
Said Aina with her amused tone
"You used to make love to me, you were so kind, tender, loving and always carefully, you always treated me like a delicate flower or something."

Nanaka tried to smile about that, but the smile never came.

"Until today," said Aina a little sad. Nanaka didn't change or move an inch.

"This is the first time I see you like this; that someone treats me like this, that I was afraid of you"

Nanaka rose her eyebrows with a sad expression. Now she was feeling that guilt.

"Suwawa, you didn't let me touch you; you haven't even come once since you started fucking me..."

Nanaka's sight returned to her feet in shame.

"And I understand," said Aina softly.

Nanaka looked at her with the corner of her eyes, Aina smiled at her.

"I know you are heartbroken, and you are actually fucking me because you are hurt, and you want to hurt Shuka with this."

Nanaka tensed when she heard Shuka's name.

"I accepted to be fucked like this, just because it's you, and you are hurt"

Nanaka looked at her astonished.

How twisted were Aina's feelings that she let someone fuck her like that, accepting that it was just raw sex because Nanaka was hurt and she needed to release her pain and betrayal with someone, and it happened that Aina was there to accept this.

Was this because Aina was a good friend? Because she loved her? Maybe this was a new kink of Aina...

"This is your fault."

Said Nanaka coldly, looking straight into Aina's eyes.

Aina opened her eyes wide in surprise.

"My fault?!" she asked with her high pitch.

"Yes! Your fault!"

Nanaka stood up from the bed, once again agitated and recovering her dark look.

"If you hadn't broken up with me this would have never happened!"

Nanaka's tone was a bit shaky.

"Wut?!" Aina's tone was confusing.

"But no! You had to break up with me, I wasn't enough for you and it seems I'm not enough for Shuka either, I'm just not enough for no one!"

Nanaka's voice was cracking.

Aina bit her lips and opened her eyes wide, looking at this fragile and naked Suwawa. Her mask long rotten and forgotten.

"Hey..."
Called Aina softly, Nanaka looked at her with tears gathering in her eyes.

"Suwawa, don't say those things..."

Aina sat more comfortably on the bed.

"Listen, I love you, I loved you then, I love you now, and I'll love you forever; I had to break up with you, not because you weren't enough, actually you made me really happy and I wasn't lying when I said that if you were happy with Shuka that makes me happy too."

"Then why?!"

"Because you will be hurt! And I can't stand to hurt you!"

Nanaka looked at her, feeling a lonely tear running down her cheek. She was hurt.

Aina took a deep breath.

"I, ... I feel like you are 'my Shuka' "
She said softly, Nanaka gave her a puzzled look.

"You love me and wanted to be with me, but I do things that hurt you, it's what you do to Shuka every time we have to do some 'KanaMari' or work related stuff, it hurts her, the same way when we were together and I flirted with cute girls. It hurt you, so I decided to shut you out from that."

"Why were you flirting with them then? Was it because I wasn't enough "

"Don't put words in my mouth Suwawa," said Aina serious.

"I just can't help it! All of Aqours members are to die for! Have you seen Arisha's body? King's long legs? Aikyan's butt? Aiai's personality? Rikyako's charm? Anchan's arms? And Shuka's smile?"

Nanaka opened her eyes wide.

What the hell is she talking about? Seriously?

"Men! The nine of us should fuck to bond with each other and to move on with our differences..."

"You are full of crap." Nanaka said, deadpan.

"See? That's why I broke up with you..."

Aina said with her amused tone.

"I believe you had a hard time trying to 'behave me' when we were together, I don't want to do that to you, I can't commit to you because I'll hurt you, you are more than enough for me, actually I don't deserve you, before I could cheat on you, I preferred to let you go and to be free and happy with someone who really deserved you... If you love someone enough, let them go~"

"Like Shuka...?"

Nanaka darkened again.

"I don't know what's wrong with her,"

Aina said with a bitter smile.

"I thought you knew that she had cheated on you... You know, because you two talked and such... And maybe you forgave her..."

Aina ended her sentence in a small voice.

"We don't talk that much..." said Nanaka in a small voice too.

"What? You just fuck and hug?"

"Hey! No"

"Then?"

"Aina I didn't tell her that we had slept together, what for? She broke up with me, so in that moment I was free to do whatever I pleased, but then you broke up with me too, so when we got together again I felt that I would ruin my efforts to be with her if I brought out our time together. "

Aina nodded.

"Besides, we are just too busy! We don't have enough time to speak our minds, and actually, I thought we were good and happy, until she brought up her jealousy about you again."

Aina took the bottled water once again and took a sip.

"So, I don't know why she is cheating on me..."

Said Nanaka in a soft tone.

"Maybe she knows about us?"
Said Aina, leaving the bottle on the nightstand again.

"How?! The only one who knows about it was Arisa!"

Aina Shrugged.

"What?!"
Nanaka ,moved fast to grab her phone, but Aina grabbed it first.

"What the hell are you doing?!" asked Aina with her old man tone, stomping her words.

"I'm gonna call her!"

"Suwawa it's almost 05:00 in the morning! She might be sleeping or fucking Rikyako! You will disturb her anyway!"

Nanaka fell in a deep silence, looking astonished at Aina, she blinked a few times, opened her mouth a quite a bit too, then in shock asked

"What?!"

"What what?"
Blinked Aina without a care in the world, and looking at Nanaka with concern, like if Nanaka was seeing unicorns or something.

"What's wrong with this group?!"

Said Nanaka turning around and grabbing her temples.

"I think your butt it's cute too~,"
Said Aina looking at Nanaka's rear, Nanaka just turned around to face her with a surprised face.

"So which one of us is actually not fucking someone of the cast members?"

Asked Nanaka annoyed, Aina gave her a coy smile

"Uhmmm, maybe Aiai?, I'm not sure...But really you thought you were the only one among us?"

Nanaka opened her eyes wide.

"So Aqours it's a group of singing lesbians out of control ..."

"Aw!, C'mon! Suwawa don't put it like that! Didn't Arisha tell you about it?"

"Eh no!"

She said extending her arms and opening her hands like saying "Doh!"

"So in which planet do you live?"

Asked Aina with concern.

Nanaka deadpanned.

Well, the answer was almost clear; she lived most of the time in her "Suwa World" so it's not a surprise that she missed a bunch things, but this kind of things...

"Well, this explains everything Suwawa-chan,"

Said Aina with her cute tone; she left Nanaka's phone back on the nightstand.

"No wonder why you don't know why Shuka cheated on you; you are so immersed in your own world that you can't see what is happening around you..."

Nanaka didn't say anything, maybe she was right.

Actually, she felt quite offended now because Arisa didn't tell her anything about her and Rikyako.

Ok, maybe her relationship with Arisa started a bit off and with some rivalry, but after a few trips together, being in the same year group, subunit and with a little help of Aina being annoying, they became good friends; almost like her own confidence.

She always thought that Arisa, Rikyako and herself were the only normal ones within Aqours.

Nanaka rose her eyebrows.

Well, that explains it all.

"Oh."

Nanaka said.

Aina smiled at her.

"Maybe you were just too busy with your job and our situation that you couldn't see what was happening with Shuka..."

Said Aina, softly.

Nanaka took a seat on the bed once again. Her sight glued to the messy futon on the floor.

Maybe she was right, her career was just to hectic right now, her radio shows, her new Niconama, all those photoshoots, the new subunits songs, the new songs with the full unit, the duo, trio collection, the new season of the anime, all the events, and now this new Live, that was actually a tour. ( 6 Lives in total)

And she was in the center of it, she needed to do it right and without mistakes.

So yeah, where did Shuka fit in all of this? Of course, she missed the signs! If Shuka was flirting with someone or looking at somebody else, of course, she missed it!

Nanaka opened her eyes wide, she gasped and looked at Aina with a concerned face.

Aina looked back at her with a goofy smile.

"What?" asked Aina amused.

"So who is it?" Asked Nanaka.

"Who is who?"

"Who is Shuka cheating on me with"

Nanaka's words were full of pain, her eyes darkening again.

"Eh?! I'm not gonna tell you that"

"What?!" Nanaka stood up with a jump, she narrowed her eyes.

"Shuka should tell you..."

"And how am I supposed to ask her that?, 'Hey, sweetie, I was fucking Ainya last night, and as it happens, she told me you are cheating on me, who are you fucking now?' something like that?"

Aina laughed like an old man with Nanaka's interpretation; Nanaka didn't even smile, she was serious.

Aina stopped laughing when Nanaka walked towards her, her eyes darkened again.

"Suzuki Aina, you fucked it up telling me, now spill the beans"

She said in her cold tone.

"I shouldn't have told you..."
Said Aina softly, her lips shivering.

"Of course you should! Actually, you took too long to tell me!"

Nanaka's voice was a few tones higher than her normal voice, she was upset.

"How long has this been happening? How did you know? Where? When?!"

Aina opened her eyes wide and she tightened her lips; Nanaka was breaking again.

Nanaka looked down at her, straight into Aina's black eyes looking for answers, but Aina was just too afraid to answer them.

" I... I don't know..."

"Don't lie to me"

They fell silent, looking into each other eyes. Aina was sitting with her arms covering her chest, slightly grabbing her shoulders, while Nanaka just stood there looking down at her, arms crossed.

Aina gave her a shy smile; in the back of Nanaka's mind, the thought that Aina was just messing with her, and that Shuka had never actually cheated on her, and this was just a trap from Aina to finally have sex with her again crossed her mind. That was too twisted and fucked up, even for Aina.

She shook her head at that thought.

"Is it from Aqours...?"

Nanaka asked, her voice trembling; she was actually afraid of the answer.

Aqours represented more than just a work group, for all of them they were family, good and close friends, they had deep bonds with each other, they had spent so much time together practicing, recording, etc, to think that one of them had betrayed her and stole Shuka away from her.

She felt a big pain in her heart just imagining that.

Aina looked at her with a sad face, closed her eyes and with a low and tired tone said,

"Yes..."

Nanaka closed her eyes in pain too, trying to control her tears; she tightens her grip on her crossed arms.

"Who...?"

She asked bitterly.

"Suwawa I'm sorry, I shouldn't tell you...Shuka–"

"Stop!" Nanaka cut her off with clear anger in her voice, she opened her eyes again.

"You can't throw this bomb at me and not fucking tell me who's stealing Shuka away from me, under my nose and making a fool of me. You told me she had been doing worse than just a kiss, be responsible for your words Aina, and tell me"

"What if I tell you? What are you going to do about it?"

Aina's tone was serious.

That was a difficult question.

Nanaka tightened her lips.

What should she do? She couldn't go tomorrow to practice and kill, punch, yell or whatever to this person in particular.

Also, she couldn't go and confront Shuka.

This was a mess after mess.

"It isn't you right?"

She asked with fear, Aina gave her a sweet smile.

"God, Nanaka," she said sweetly,
"of course not! I love Shuka but I love you more, I told you I was happy to see you happy with her, why would I screw you over like that? "

Nanaka gave her a tiny smile, it was a relief actually.

Nanaka frowned.

So, we are nine, of course, me and Shuka are out, Aina is not doing it, Arisa and Rikyako seem to be a thing on their own, so why would any of them be with Shuka?, Aina said that maybe Aiai was the only one who was normal and wouldn't fuck with her coworkers, so there were three left.

King, Anchan, and Aikyan.

Nanaka tightened her lips and looked at Aina with concern.

"Whoever it is, you are not going to like it,"
Said Aina, Nanaka snorted.

"Of course not! We are supposed to be friends Aina, and we are stealing each other's girlfriends, none of that is good or something to like"

Nanaka frowned again.

If it is King, that would be a big betrayal! My subunit will be chaos.

If it is Anchan that would be big betrayal too because I have done the world for Her.

If it is Aika….well, that probably would be the dumbest thing Shuka might do.

Nanaka looked at Aina with a serious face.

Aina looked down in shame; Nanaka knew her better; she widened her eyes.

Aina's body language was telling her that the option was the most painful one, that she was actually afraid to speak because it would cost Nanaka the last piece of her heart or mask left.

"It is Anchan right?"

She said in a small voice, almost like if her soul was leaving her body with that sentence.

Aina looked up with tears gathered in the corner of her eyes.

She nodded.

Nanaka felt a strong pinch in her heart, she actually lifted her right hand to her chest and closed her eyes, letting silent tears fall from her cheeks.

Damn it Inami Anju.

Nanaka could feel a warm body hugging her belly; she hugged Aina back.

"I'm sorry Suwawa-chan..." said Aina, softly.

Nanaka couldn't say a thing.

She just opened her watery eyes and glued her sight to the ceiling, letting all the few tears had left fall helplessly over her cheeks.

Then it hit her; like a big heavy truck, it hit her on the back of her mind.

Of course, it was Anchan! All this time, how couldn't she see it before?

Anchan and Shuka, both in the same year group, in the same subunit. Always fooling around, doing jokes with each other. Laughing. Having fun.

"How do you feel when I play with Anchan ?".

"You know, those "ChikaYou" vibes".

That was a sign.

"And I laughed..."

Nanaka said softly, Aina couldn't catch it, she unglued herself from Nanaka and looked at her.

"What?"

Nanaka looked down at Aina with a sad expression. Grabbed her puffy cheeks once again with both hands and placed her forehead against Aina's, then she closed her eyes letting her tears fall.

"I'm a fool..."

She said with sadness and bitterness.

Aina lifted her hands to gently caress Nanaka's and comfort her, she closed her eyes too, taking all of Nanaka's feelings in.

How could she had been so blind?

How could Anchan do this to her? After all her support, after all the affection she gave to her, she was just stealing Shuka away.

"I'm glad that on this new project you got stuck with Anchan."

Nanaka opened her eyes wide, and with a surprised gasp, she took a step to back; Aina almost fell on spot.

Nanaka and Aina shared panics gazes; Aina, because she almost fell and didn't know what the hell was wrong, and Nanaka, because of this terrifying realization.

"What?!"

Asked Aina with her high pitch and panicked voice.

"Oh, fuck!"

Said Nanaka, her eyes becoming watery again.

"Suwawa what the heck?!"

"Oh God!, this is terrible," she said taking a few steps back again and grabbing her temples

"Eh...?"
Aina looked at her puzzled and saw Nanaka walk in circles, trying not to stomp on the futon, or clothes or whatever.

"Suwawa, you know, we are nine in the group, I think you can fuck with the other six; if you get to do it with Arisha, please tell me every detail..."

She said her last sentence in a libidinous tone.

Nanaka turned around to look at Aina with a disgusted look.

"What?! Aina, who cares about that! I can't see Arisa that way! Besides she is with Rikyako..."

"Oh, right..."
Said Aina erasing her smile,
" Well, I can fuck with you if you feel lonely..."

"Aina! That's not the point, I don't care about that. You are not seeing the big picture here!"

"What big picture?" Aina asked puzzled.

"Anchan!"

"Yes, she is fucking Shuka, what about her?" she said without a care in the world.

"She is with me in the duo, trio collection!"

Nanaka shouted this terrifying news at Aina, extending her arms, her eyes wide in panic and almost losing her balance.

Aina did a loud gasp, placing her hands on top of her mouth. Her eyes widened too.

Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck...

Nanaka covered her face with her hands in frustration.

"You know, maybe it was better if it was Aikyan instead of Anchan,"
Said Nanaka, frustrated, behind her hands. Aina didn't say a thing, she was in shock.

Nanaka started to massage her temples.

"God, why?"
She asked with a pleading voice, eyes shut and with a pained face.

Aina sat on the bed, still with her hands on her mouth.

"Maybe it's not that terrible..." said Aina in small voice.

"How it's not 'that' terrible?"

Said Nanaka, starting to move in circles once again, careful to not stomp.

"Anju is Aqours' leader, I'm sharing the MC of the tour with her! Not only we are together in the duo, trio collection, meaning that now we have to get together to record that song, later we will have to perform it."
Nanaka looked at Aina, she was still with her hands on her mouth.

"Not just that song Aina!, most of my choreography of 'Daydream Warrior' is with her, we sing together in Shoujo Ijou no Koi ga Shitaí, and who knows what else more we have to do for the sake of this tour!"

She felt dizzy.

"Well, not just the tour! The whole project; Chika and Kanan are close childhood friends!"

"Ok stop!"
Said Aina loudly, stopping Nanaka's rant.

Nanaka tightened her lips and looked at her.

"First! I can't take it anymore,"
Said Aina with a shy smile, Nanaka rose her eyebrows.

"Suwawa, I can't take to see you go around the room naked like this"
She did a circular movement with her fingers.

Nanaka deadpanned.

"Second! Why do you care that much about Anchan? You should be worried about Shuka, you need to ask yourself why is she with Anchan"

"Because I wasn't enough for her?" said Nanaka sadly.

"I don't think that's the reason–,"

"Aina, I can't work with Anju knowing that she is...doing...stuff with Shuka... That's why I care, I have to spend lots of time with her and not with Shuka, and she will be a constant reminder that she has been a terrible friend; that she is lying to my face while I have to smile at her."

"Anju," repeated Aina dryly.

"Yes. Anju."

"Wow~," said Aina amused.

"I'm angry."
Said Nanaka with her "Suwa tone". Aina tightened her lips.

"How long have you known about this? How long have they been doing it?"
Asked Nanaka.

"Actually I don't know, I hadn't slept with Anchan, of course not with Shuka, to know..."

Nanaka looked at her with her angry face.

"I don't know if this was a one night stand or if it's something more regular, I just knew that they fucked once; I saw them."

Nanaka didn't say a thing, she tightens her lips and her fists.

"Suwawa, I'm not in their year group, nor their subunit, I can't know! Imagine how many things happen when we traveled as a subunit or year group. You should know, it happened to us. "

Yes indeed. It was on a year group trip that they sent everything to hell and fucked their brains out. Of course, at that moment, Shuka had broken up with Nanaka, so there was no guilt in her heart about it.

"Maybe you saw them when we were apart..." said Nanaka with a bit of hope.

Aina shook her head.

"You and I had broken up already"

Meaning Shuka was back with her...

Fooling me... Cheating me... using me...

Nanaka stood there looking at the floor with lost eyes.

"So!"
Said Aina, as she clapped, bringing back Nanaka to reality.

"What are we going to do?" she asked with her amused tone.

"We?"

"Yes! I got your back" said Aina with a smile.

"I can keep the secret of... well... tonight."
She said, looking and showing the very messy state the room was in.

"You can't go tomorrow and ask Shuka for an explanation; the same thing with Anchan, you can't go and punch her in her face, you need to play it cool"

Nanaka made a bitter expression.

"Also you can't go all gloomy!"

"What?! You want me to go to practice tomorrow like nothing happened?"

"Yes"

Nanaka deadpanned.

"Suwawa, the only way you found out that Shuka was cheating on you, was because you thought you were cheating on her first... By kissing ME, so you can't go tomorrow all stressed out about it."

Aina was right.

"So what do you want me to do? What should I do...?"
Asked Nanaka confused.

"I can't tell Shuka I know what I know, and I can't tell Anju to fuck off..."

Nanaka looked at Aina; she had a weird smile and her eyes were somewhere else. Nanaka blinked, Aina snapped out of wherever she was and gave her a coy smile.

"Yes. " said Aina slowly, "just be yourself"

What the hell is that supposed to mean?

Nanaka looked at her with a raised eyebrow, not quite understanding, Aina just smiled at her.

"You don't need to do anything, just pay more attention to both of them? Maybe play along? If you are lucky enough you might catch them doing it or something."
Said Aina getting more comfortable on the bed.

Nanaka crossed her arms and made a bitter expression. She had to play "cool".

"Suwawa, supposedly you had good and loving sex with Shuka today, so you need to be all glowing and happy in practice."

Said Aina in her amused tone, Nanaka gave her a pained look. She lifted her index.

"First; I don't "glow" after doing that," she lifted another finger" second; you mean I have to lie to them? And third; you are asking too much!"

Nanaka lifted an awkward third finger.
Aina laughed like an old man about that.

"You still can't do the 'third finger'" said Aina while laughing,
"Yeah, you have your 'sleepy Suwa' face even if you had sex a few minutes ago; you are like a ninja, Suwa pro!"

"Stop it..."
Said Nanaka with a sad tone; she turned around once again, glued her sight on her desk, even if it was still dark, and she wasn't wearing her glasses, she had almost memorized all the cute pictures she had there for decorations. She had a lot of pictures of their photoshoots, pictures of Kanan, selfies with the girls, and selfies with Shuka.

She felt a pinch in her heart, and couldn't help but make a sad expression.

"I think it's not worth it compromise your position on Aqours about this; Suwawa, you are the center of this tour, you need to focus on that, your career, not this mess of who is fucking who"

Nanaka bit her lip; yes that was important, but her feelings were real, she just couldn't ignore them that easily, Shuka's -and Anchan's - betrayal might compromise her performance, especially if they made them do stuff together, like holding hands, or hug... Probably they would make her hug Anchan for the sake of their performance.

Nanaka frowned.

Thanks, Kanan...

Nanaka took a deep breath.

She had been like a big sister to Shuka and Anchan. Both were the youngest among them, and Nanaka was the one with the warm heart to help them out whenever they had trouble, especially Shuka.

And now they were together. Maybe they were together right now.

"This is exactly why 'Idols' are not allowed to date! To prevent this kind of things"

Said Nanaka with bitterness in her voice, while tracing her long fingers over one of the pictures.

"And that's why we are not idols~,"
Said Aina in her teasing tone
"We are Seiyuus~ we are allowed to fuck"

Nanaka snorted.

"I'm still amazed how carefree you are in that matter..."

Aina snorted and then broke into her laugh.

Aina was like that, no commitments, no strings attached, this way she was never hurt.

Nanaka sighted.

Aina was right, her way of seeing things was the most practical anyways; they were Seiyuus, they were professionals, there was no point in compromising the whole project because of this.

And if we are talking about taking the job seriously, Suwa Nanaka did.

So hell, she had to redo her mask again, hide her feelings under it, put on her Suwa face tomorrow morning and the show must go on.

Fuck this.

"Hey! You cutie pale butt, come' here~!"

Said Aina with her old man tone; Nanaka turned around with an amuse smiled.

Aina was in her bed again, she was patting the sheets on her right.

Aina gave her a wide smile, which warmed Nanaka's heart. She blinked and smiled at her too.

"Is it ok if we share the bed tonight...?"

Aina asked in her cute tone; Nanaka felt her heart melting with by her cuteness.

"I believe it's ok..."
She said while walking towards her bed, and smoothly getting in it with Aina.

Aina didn't waste any time and hugged Nanaka's stomach

"Uhmmm~ what a bliss~! I absolutely adore this four pack of yours~!"

Aina said in her happy tone, while Nanaka just smiled and hugged her back, one hand gently caressing Aina's hair.

"So, are you clear about what you are going to do tomorrow...?"

Asked Aina in her normal tone; her breath tickled Nanaka's belly.

"Yes... Nothing happened. Shuka will still be fooling me, and I can't kill Anju."

Nanaka said in monotone; Aina snorted.

"'Anju'...wow, you are still mad..."

Nanaka didn't say a thing, she was still mad.

"You know, even if you could try to kill her, she will knock you out first, she does karate"

"And I lack energy, I know... I see why Shuka is with her..."
She said in a sad and gloomy tone.

Aina separated herself from Nanaka's belly, moving up to look at her, softly making Nanaka get on her back.

She could feel Aina's tiny body on top of her, her knees taking place between Nanaka's hips.

This time, Aina's soft hands cupped Nanaka's cheeks.

"Nanaka-chan, stop it, "
She said softly and with kindness,
"It's not your fault; you are beautiful, smart, loving, caring, sweet and amazing, your lack of energy is part of your lovely charm points, your own pace makes you special, so please stop asking yourself why are we with you; I am with you because I love everything about you..."

Nanaka couldn't say a thing, maybe she stopped breathing too.

Aina's words were so soft, so kind, so full of love.

She felt her eyes becoming watery again, but with joy...

"...So don't think about her; I am here with you..."

And that was exactly what she did; she hugged Aina, squishing her with her body and captured her plump lips with hers. Aina kissed her back with equal passion; she moved her hands from Nanaka's cheeks to encircle Nanaka's neck with her arms.

They got trapped in a powerful and loving kiss; it was slow, passionate and wet.

A perfect kiss.

That kiss grew into something long, and maybe, a little bit messy; Aina started to put her tongue in Nanaka's mouth, Nanaka's tongue greeted it hungrily. They thoroughly enjoyed it, tasting each other, playing with each other's lips, wet sounds started once again to fill the room.

Aina withdrew her right hand from Nanaka's neck and started to trace Nanaka's soft skin, her hand traveled from her chest to the side of her hips, resting it on her thighs, slowly caressing them.

Aina broke the kiss for just a few seconds.

"Mm so smooth... I could recognize your smooth thighs with my eyes closed..."

Nanaka gave her a malicious smile and wordlessly lifted her leg, skimming Aina's crotch with her thigh.

Aina grunted in pleasure from that, while Nanaka tightened her hug making Aina's body glue to hers, her thigh sticking more into Aina's crotch; her lips capturing Aina into a more passionate kiss.

Nanaka could feel Aina's wetness on her thigh; it still amazes her how easy Aina would get aroused.

Maybe she was a good kisser?

Aina started to move forward and backward, causing more friction between her crotch and Nanaka's thigh, letting small whimpers escape from Aina's lips.

Nanaka used her left hand to softly place a few strands of Aina's hair behind her ear, and then caress her cheek, gently parting from Aina's lips.

"Slow down..." Nanaka said softly and sweet
"I want to enjoy it..."

Aina looked at her in surprise, she shared a gentle gaze with Nanaka; she could see love, passion, and lust, the Suwa Nanaka she knew was there.

Aina smiled at her and stopped her movements.

"Then, I want to touch you,"

Said Aina softly, Nanaka rose her eyebrows in surprise; that was new.

"But don't stop kissing me..."
Said Nanaka shyly, her cheeks becoming red.

"Whatsthis?~ Suwa-chan fond of kisses..." she said in her teasing tone, Nanaka tried not get more embarrassed.

"I like yours... They always feel like our first..." she said shyly.

Aina curled the tips of her lips and looked at her amused.

"So, my kisses taste like bottled water?"

Nanaka opened her eyes wide, her arousal fading slightly.

"Eh?!"

Nanaka said in surprise, Aina giggled.

"You don't remember our first kiss?!"
She said in a fake offended tone, Nanaka rose her eyebrows once again.

" I remember clearly, but I don't remember a bottle of water involved!" said Nanaka more serious.

"Our first dance practice..."
Said Aina softly, Nanaka frowned and lifted her thigh to skim Aina's crotch once again, this time with evil an propose, making Aina moan.

"Hey~!" said Aina arching her back.

"That was an undirected kiss! It doesn't count!, I can't believe you count that as our first kiss!"

Said Nanaka in displeasure.

Aina smiled at her, took a deep breath, and with her left hand cupped Nanaka's cheek.

She closed her distance with Nanaka's lips and softly said.

"I know... I'm just messing with you..."

Aina bit Nanaka's lower lip without taking her eyes off her, they shared an intense look; Nanaka's heart was beating a thousand miles per hour.

This was exactly how their first kiss had been.

Aina withdrew her hand from Nanaka's cheek and softly went to her chin, lifting it, she left Nanaka's lower lip for just a second to move forward to kiss her, closing her eyes while doing it.

Nanaka smiled on that kiss and closed her eyes too.

It was soft, tender and sweet, just how she remembered.

Aina broke the sweet kiss to look at her with a smile, Nanaka blinked a few times and smiled back at her.

Aina started to fondle Nanaka's skin with her left hand, from her chin, she traveled thru her right cheek once again, gently caressing her; never taking their gazes from each other.

"You are gorgeous, Suwa Nanaka..."

Aina said sweet and tender; Nanaka gave her a look full of love, she was about to say something, but Aina stopped her with her index on her lips.

"Don't speak, just moan for me..."

Aina said in a husky tone, her sight changing from a loving one to one full of lust.

Nanaka blinked.

Aina pushed her index inside Nanaka's mouth slowly; Nanaka understood very well what she was supposed to do, so she started licking Aina's finger and playing with it her tongue, never taking her eyes off of Aina's.

When Aina thought her index was wet enough, she withdrew it, and started tracing her finger thru Nanaka's neck down to her chest making a circle on her right breast. Never taking her eyes off hers, neither did Nanaka.

Her finger traveled to her abs, and then she stopped.

Aina moved forwards once again, directly to Nanaka's lips, she kissed her again, this time it wasn't slow or sweet.

Nanaka's right arm went to grab Aina's left thigh strongly, while her left hand trapped Aina's head, entwining her fingers in her silky hair.

The kiss was wet and hungry, they started to bite each other's lips, play with their tongues, and melting into each other's mouths, little whimpers, and grunts of pleasure escaping from their lips.

Aina was the one who broke the kiss to hungrily start kissing Nanaka's body, she was placing hot and wet kisses all over her neck, then traveled fast to her chest, she moved her left hand to massage Nanaka's right breast; Nanaka tightened her grip on Aina's thigh.

Aina captured the aroused left nipple with her teeth, but gently started to lick it, then sucked it. It didn't take long for Nanaka to start panting and grunt in pleasure.

Nanaka's grip on Aina's hair became a bit painfully, but not enough for Aina, she knew she could do more.

So she left Nanaka's chest, gave a few more wet and hot kisses to her marvelous four pack, and stopped on her hip bones.

Aina's body was a bit far for Nanaka's arm to still caress her thigh, but it was enough for her to continue touching her hair.

Aina placed both of her hands on Nanaka's hip bones and started to make pressure.

It made Nanaka moan in pleasure; her legs moved involuntarily, jump lightly; Aina looked up at Nanaka with a cocky smile, she knew Nanaka's weak points far too well.

She licked her lips, Nanaka looked down at her, her cheeks flushed red, panting softly.

Aina slowly opened her lips, sticking her tongue out; without taking her eyes away from Nanaka.

Nanaka opened her eyes wide, she felt her arousal getting over her head.

Aina put more pressure on her hip bones and went down to kiss Nanaka's right hip; it made her moan.

Aina started to suck that spot fiercely, making Nanaka moan wildly and tightened her grip on Aina's hair and her sheets.

Nanaka's head went back to the pillow; she could feel herself getting wetter, every time she heard Aina sucking her skin.

Then part of her senses kicked in.

"Aina! Aina!, you can't leave a mark!"
She said loud and with her eyes shut tight.

She felt that Aina stopped sucking, and gently started to lick it like a cat would lick a wound, maybe it was too late and now she was marked by Aina.

Nanaka panted heavily, opening her eyes and looking down at Aina; she was licking her hip.

Aina was aware that Nanaka was looking at her, so between licks, she crossed gazes with her.

Nanaka was soaked at this point from the teasing.
And Aina knew it.

Aina stopped licking; she moved her hands lower to Nanaka's groin, she smiled maliciously at her.

"It's my turn to be filled with Suwawa's..."

Nanaka just widened her eyes and without any warning, Aina grabbed Nanaka's knees and lifted them, while hiding her face in her most private area.

Nanaka moved her head back once again to her messy pillow and moaned really loud.

Aina was known within the Aqours members to be one of the gluttons of the cast, and this just gave her justice.

Aina was devouring her with hungry licks and sucks; her own wet sounds were making her get even wetter for Aina to keep eating.

She started to moan louder, tightening her grip on Aina's hair and the sheets.

Her breathing was difficult, her moans were replaced with loud grunts and whimpers, she was trying so hard to not come just yet; she needed to enjoy this a little more, after all, she had been fucking Aina for hours and she didn't allow to release herself.

But now, she was in complete bliss.

Suddenly Aina stopped her hungry licking and sucking to look up and see an agitated Nanaka, who of course stopped whimpering and grunting to look at her.

Aina smiled sexily at her, and slowly licked her lips.

Nanaka felt her cheeks becoming furious red, she bit her lips.

"Don't come yet..."
Said Aina huskily, locking her gaze into Nanaka's eyes, as if she was reading her mind.

Aina softly traced her left hand thru Nanaka's right thigh; Aina started kissing it without taking her eyes off her.

"Ai...Aina-san..."
Said Nanaka with a pleading tone, yes she didn't want to come yet, but this teasing wasn't good either.

"You told me to keep kissing you..."
She said huskily and started to bite Nanaka's inner thigh.

Nanaka made a loud grunt of pleasure; this wasn't fair.

"Can you keep your legs up for me?"
Aina asked in her cute way, Nanaka looked puzzled but nodded anyway.

Aina sucked hard on her thigh, it made Nanaka shiver and moan from that.

That definitely would leave a mark.

Aina's hands left Nanaka's legs; instead, Nanaka started to use her strength to keep them up, Aina smiled at her sweetly.

"Don't lower them for any reason...or you will never come..."

Nanaka swallowed; Aina and her kinks... She never got used to them.

Nanaka blinked.

Aina didn't say anything else and returned to her duty into Nanaka's lower lips; she started licking slowly this time, enjoying every inch of Nanaka's wet treasure, making her moan again, whimper and grunt, her legs started to shiver with impatience; Aina's licks were just too slow, too shallow, she needed more.

Nanaka's tightened her grip on her sheets, Aina saw that with the corner of her eyes, and with her right hand she grabbed Nanaka's left hand entwining their fingers; Nanaka tightened her grip on Aina's hand.

Aina's left hand was free.

That thought crossed Nanaka's mind in a moment of sense. Why wasn't she using it on her already?

She felt something sticky and wet entering into her; she moaned loud.

Aina's tongue was trying to be one with her; Nanaka's panting started to increase, Aina's tongue was good, but it wasn't deep enough, so in the eagerness of wanting more, she put her legs down on her bed and lifted her hips for Aina to go deeper.

Aina answered by leaving Nanaka's core.

Nanaka opened her eyes and looked at her with pleading eyes.

Aina licked her lips with hunger and looked back at her.

"You lowered them..." she said in her serious tone.

Nanaka shivered and tightened her lips, and almost involuntary opened her legs a bit more.

Now with a bit more of a field of view, she found Aina's left hand.

Aina's was working herself with her left hand, again.

"Hey! Be fair!" said Nanaka a bit of annoyance.

"I can't help it!" whined Aina,
" you are just too delicious... And you lowered your legs!"

Nanaka rolled her eyes and lifted her legs once again

"This is just because you want to touch yourself! You should help me with my legs..."

"Don't be silly..."
Said Aina lowering her torso once again,
"You are helping that fabulous four pack by doing this..."

Aina tightened her grip on Nanaka's left hand and licked her core slowly, Nanaka moaned loud, her legs shivering again.

Aina continued the hungry licking, Nanaka tried to make a great effort to not lower her legs again, but it was difficult due to constantly arching her back, moaning and that Aina's tongue wasn't deep enough, so before she could lower her legs once again, she moved her right hand, and removed Aina's head from her core, and inserted two fingers into her; Aina looked at this in awe.

"Whatcha doing?! "
Asked Aina loudly, looking Nanaka's fingers fiercely working on her, then looked at Nanaka's face.

Nanaka just moaned in pleasure

"Hey! That wasn't part of the game!"

"I'm not playing~ ah...ah... I need to come!"

Aina licked her lips.

"All right, "
Aina took Nanaka's finger out from herself, that made Nanaka open her eyes wide in panic, Aina held Nanaka's hand into hers.

"Hey!" yelled Nanaka, Aina just ignored her.

Aina sat on Nanaka's groin, letting one of Nanaka's legs fall on the bed, while the other one was still up, giving Nanaka a wet and sticky sensation; Aina was soaked too, Nanaka moved her head back to the pillow and arched her hips, she was at her limit.

Aina started to move forward and backward, using both of Nanaka hands as support.

The sound of the headboard hitting the wall started once again, followed by loud moans and sticky wet sounds.

Both girls lost control of themselves, they moved fast and sexy, moaning without a care in the world, eyes shut tight, hands entwined with each other.

Nanaka couldn't resist it anymore, her arousal was over her head; she came with a loud moan arching her back, sticking herself more into Aina's core.

Her body fell almost numb on the sheets, her head resting on her pillow, panting heavily and breathing with difficulty. She still could feel Aina's body on top of her, but she wasn't moving anymore.

Nanaka opened her sleepy eyes to see Aina, she was still sitting between her legs, with a coy smile on her lips, her cute black eyes looking at her with a loving expression.

Aina moved her left hand, taking Nanaka's right hand with her, she slowly started to lick it, removing Nanaka's nectar off of her fingers.

Nanaka closed her eyes and licked her lips, she could feel her arousal growing again.

"You are delicious"
Said Aina huskily. Nanaka was trying to control her breathing, but with Aina doing that, it was kind of hard.

"Hey..."
Called Nanaka sweetly; Aina looked at her while removing Nanaka's fingers out of her mouth.

"Kiss me..."

Asked Nanaka shyly, Aina just smiled at her, left Nanaka's hand and moved forward to reach her. That separated their cores, making Aina crawl to reach Nanaka's lips.

The movement made both of them moan into the kiss.

Nanaka rose her eyebrows while enjoying the kiss, she remembered that Aina hadn't come yet.

So she slyly moved her right hand, and wordlessly inserted her fingers into Aina's core.

Aina moaned loud into Nanaka's mouth.

For Nanaka, being much taller than Aina, it was almost an easy task to do, so she fiercely started moving her long and thin fingers inside her, Aina started to move her hips once again, the headboard started to hit the wall in pace.

She bit Aina's lips, devoured her mouth with the kiss, speeding up her pace inside Aina.

Her prodigy SIF fingers made her justice, and in no longer than a minute, Aina was arching her back, leaving Nanaka's lips to moan really loud.

Aina's body fell on top Nanaka's with a panting heavily and with difficulties breathing.

Nanaka withdrew her fingers from her and hugged her, placing small and cute little kisses on her forehead.

Maybe Aina lost count on her orgasms tonight, she was really tired, and it was really late.

So Nanaka felt completely satisfied with giving Aina everything she wanted.

She smiled sweetly.

"You ok Aina-chan...?"

Aina nodded on her chest, Nanaka tightened her hug, feeling so much love for the short woman.

"I love you Suwawa-chan..."

Said Aina softly, hiding in Nanaka's skin; Nanaka started to gently stroke Aina's hair.

"We should get some sleep..."

Aina nodded.

Maybe Aina fell as sleep at the very next second, it had indeed been an exhausting night for both of them.

Nanaka smiled in satisfaction; for a moment, all her problems long forgotten, somewhere far from there, she just closed her eyes, and let their breath and heartbeats be the only thing that filled the room.

.

.

.

A loud sound of an alarm clock made her snap out of her slumber.

With a lazy arm she almost hit her phone on the nightstand, or maybe was her glasses, she wasn't sure anymore.

The sound was really annoying, so she had to move herself to her side to turn it off. She just pressed a button, and the phone stopped.

She made a low buff, and slowly opened her sleepy eyes.

Nanaka could see the room filling with a purplish light coming from the window, she tried to focus her sleepy sight; her room was a mess.

She opened her eyes fully to contemplate her sins.

The futon was everywhere, her pajamas were in different places with the one she had lent Aina, the pillows, and plushies were all scattered around.

Taking all her strength left she sat up, her legs hanging from the bed.

She stretched her arms and yawned.

She felt pain everywhere, from her toes to her hair.

Nanaka grabbed her glasses and put them on. Everything looked worse.

She felt a pinch in her thigh and hip, she looked at them, of course, the evidence that Aina had been on her skin last night.

Nanaka frowned and sighted.

Well, it's not like Shuka is going to see them...

She picked her phone up, but before she could open it, she felt a soft kiss on her lower back that made her shiver and jump in surprise.

She didn't say a thing, the kisses continued going up to her neck.

"Morning, Ainya..."
Said Nanaka sweetly with her eyes closed, enjoying every little kiss.

Aina didn't say a thing, she just rounded Nanaka's chest with her arms and rested her head on Nanaka's right shoulder.

Nanaka lifted her right hand to gently caress Aina's hair.

"I think we need a shower... Again..."

She felt Aina nodding on her shoulder.

Nanaka giggled; Aina was this sweet in the morning without her coffee.

Nanaka smiled and turned her neck to Aina's side, placing a sweet kiss on her forehead.

"I love you..."

She said in a whisper.

A sound from her phone made her jump in her place; a message.

She blinked a few times, and returned her sight to her phone, she opened to first see the time, if she would really have the time to take a bath, maybe it would just have to be a quick a shower.

She rose her eyebrows; she had time for a quick shower only.

Then she opened the Line App and read the message.

It was from Shuka.

Ohayosoro~! Morning Osuwa! Did you have a good sleep? (ㆁᴗㆁ✿)

I hope you have a nice day! Kick their butts recording! Make Kanan-chan proud! ( •̀ ́ )و

I can't wait to see you in practice! (*≧∀≦*)

Love you~!

Nanaka made a sad expression, she felt her heart shrink.

She started to feel guilty again, and this time it wasn't just because a kiss; she had been fucking Aina all night long.

Suddenly she felt the hug on her chest tightening.

She blinked.

"Remember the plan..."
Aina said in a sleepy tone.

"Ainya ..." whispered Nanaka.

"Nothing happened last night, so you don't need to worry..."

Nothing happened...

Nanaka put on her straight face.

She closed her phone without answering Shuka and put it down on her nightstand again.

Aina was right, they had a plan, and she would have to follow it, for the sake of her career, the project and the coexistence within Aqours members.

There was no point on compromising everything because of this, she was the center of the tour, she has to perform without any mistakes, and if that meant that she would have to stick to Anju, sing with her, dance with her, hold hands and hug her, well, she would have to suck it up.

The show must go on.

She couldn't fight Anju. She couldn't confront Shuka. She had to play along.

So yeah, nothing happened last night, there was nothing to feel guilty about and this pain was just because of dance practice with Shuka the night before.

So she closed her eyes tightly, took a deep breath and opened her eyes with determination.

She had to hide her feelings under her mask, just like Shuka did.

Lies behind a Mask...

She started her day like she always did, she would go record with Aina and Arisa as she always did, and she would go to practice like everybody does.

How good were all those times when Shuka and her were so innocent and pure, when they had lovely feelings toward each other, and there wasn't a sign of betrayal in their hearts.

Those days might never come back.
