"Don't worry, I will be there", said Tokiya holding his cell phone while searching for something in his closet, "I just need to find my 'Hayato' costume".

"Where are you going Tokiya?", asked Otoya.

"In a countryside hospital, they asked for Hayato's performance because the sick children like him".

"Hehehe… Who see your everyday frowning face wouldn't think that you're such a softie that like children", Otoya laughed when he saw his friend holding the silly 'Hayato costume', "Your Hayato persona doesn't have anything in common with you!"

"Shut up"

"…But being serious, that is a small town right?", he said with a concerned voice, "I don't think your producers wanted to send you there… It wouldn't have a lot of impact on the media right? So it must be you who volunteered".

"…"

"Did something happen? I know you do side jobs as 'Hayato' so that you can relieve a bit of stress".

"… It's nothing, I'm fine", said Tokiya putting his costume.

-00-

'I know you do side jobs as 'Hayato' so that you can relieve a bit of stress'

Tokiya was silent, staring nothing in particular.

He should be grateful for being a well know idol(and got be one before his friends), but sometime it could be really stressful.

"It's been a while since I last sang as myself".

Yes, that's right, he loves to sing, but because his agency thought that he was fit to play live actions he didn't perform for a long time.

And because of his suppressed wish to sing he got a breakdown and went to the hospital.

'Hey onii-chan, sing another song!'

'Whoa! You have a nice voice!'

While he was there he met a child that was listening to one of his songs (back when he was mainly a singer), and because he discovered that he was his "favorite singer" he asked him to sing.

And he sang, attracting a crowd of children that were laughing happily, staring him with amazed eyes.

It was a nice feeling… So he made the character 'Hayato', an hyper and dorky idol that would appeal to children, make them happy and allow him to sing again.

"Sir, we arrived".

"Thanks, take my luggage to the hotel"

"…But what about you?"

"I need to be in the hospital way latter, so I will look around for awhile".

"Ok sir, if you need anything you can call me".

-00-

"Let's go!We're going to be late!"

"W-wait!"

"Hurry up or else we won't listen to her song!"

"What's that commotion?", Tokiya asked himself when he saw a crowd of children running hastily, like their lives depended on it.

He kind of stared for a while when the huge group disappeared close to a corner, but shrugged and decided to follow then, thinking that he didn't have anything better to do.

"She isn't there."

"Do you think that she will play today?"

"Of course, she always plays the piano!"

'Who's she?'

He was staring where the crowd was (and way bigger than he expected), in front of a traditional house, where the door was open and you could see a piano.

"Oh! There she is!"

Now the person that the kids were talking about took form, being a simply girl with red short hair and golden-lime eyes, that sat on the chair, in front of the piano.

"Ah!She's going to play!"

"Ssh…!I want to listen!"

Then she started.

The melody played was… Marvelous, calm, but not too slow… Having higher moments that worked really well, the perfect harmony of the song was so involving that he pretty much forgot where he was, finding impossible to look away.

"Wow!Onee-chan always plays beautiful songs!"

"Ah! Hello kids!", greeted her, snapping Tokiya from his trance, "Hum… Really? I-I made it for the children in the hospital, I hope that they like it…"

"Of course they will!"

'So she composed that melody? She has a lot of potential… Hum? She will appear in the hospital too?'

"Hey one-chan, can we go too?"

"Eh? But didn't you listen to the song?"

"Yes, but we want to hear it again!"

"O-ok, I still need to practice a bit before going… To be truly honest I am a bit nervous, so performing to you too will help me to relax".

"… It's better if I also go; I still need to look for my own song"

-00-

"… Why did I do that?", he asked himself, frowning a bit while staring at a piece of paper.

-NANAIRO NO COMPASS-

"… I even created a title."

He was supposed to rehearse his songs, but as soon as he saw paper and pen he started to write lyrics.

… Lyrics for that melody.

"… It's a good thing that I still have time to rehearse.", he sighed, taking his original lyrics, "… I think it wouldn't hurt to practice for this song too."

-00-

'What a wonderful melody! Please miss, would you mind playing a bit for the children in our hospital?'

She couldn't refuse, so now she would perform in a public place!

Since the day that she started to live with her grandmother Haruka trained her piano skills, and with the help pf her beloved grandma she managed to even learn how to read music sheets and write her own!

… But she didn't think that she was good enough to perform.

"Ah… I feel so nervous… Specially because they said that a famous singer will appear… I'm not a professional, I will only manage to embarrass myself…"

"Onee-chan, what's wrong?"

"N-Nothing, I'm fine"

"HEY EVERYONE!"

"AH!IT'S HAYATO-SAN!", cheered the children.

"How are you? I hope that in high spirits!", said the man with a cheerful voice, "Are you ready?"

"YES!"

'Wow, everyone looks so happy…', noticed Haruka while looking around.

"This song… Has a lot of energy… So lively…", she clapped, cheering with the rest of the children.

"Now it's our one-san turn!"

"Eh?!", she squeaked surprised, and even wanted to hide herself, but the children dragged her.

She froze.

'Ah… After this great performance… I can't!'

"Am I making you nervous?"

"Huh?", she squeaked again, looking to Hayato, that had a serious face now.

"I want to listen to your song".

"B-But I'm not a professional."

"I'm not the kind to laugh or think badly of someone if they miss… Besides, the children look eager to see you playing"

"Well…"

"Onee-san your songs are awesome!"

"Yes! Please! Show it to Hayato-sama!"

"Ah… Children…", Haruka breathed softly, smiling a bit and feeling more relaxed, "Right… I will try my best!"

She touched the instrument with a bit of hesitation, testing it before playing a full song.

'This melody is different from the one that she played earlier'

-Clap Clap-

Haruka looked beside her, seeing Hayato clapping his hands with a look of approbation, soon being followed by the rest of the children.

"It's a nice melody"

"T-Thanks"

"Nee-san, play another one! The other that you said that you would play!"

"Yes! Play it!"

"You should do it with Hayato-san! I want to hear you together!"

"Yeah!I want to listen to that too!"

"Children, I don't think th…"

"Let's do it."

"What?"

"If we don't do that the kids will be sad"

"O-Ok then… So… What do you want to sing? Er… I mean, I don't know how to play a lot of songs but…"

"I want the one that the kid mentioned".

"Eh? But that was the one that I composed".

"Yes, I know", said Tokiya arching a eyebrow, "I saw you playing it"

"You… Saw?"

"… It's a good song", he spoke with a look that warned her not to look down of her skill, "I even composed the lyrics for it"

"How? I played it once."

"The lyrics came naturally to my mind", he shrugged.

"But…"

"Please."

"O-Ok…", she finally agreed, gulping a bit.

Tokiya closed his eyes when the piano started to play, singing the lyrics with a voice totally foreigner to him, sounding calm and relaxed.

… It was foreigner because it's been a while since he used it, since he sang as himself… Not the hyper Hayato, that while allowed him to sing, didn't let he sing as how he truly was… The serious him that missed the days when he simply sang as "Ichinose Tokiya".

He opened his eyes when the melody met it's end, meeting the amazed gazes of everyone.

There weren't any claps like the first song, but that was because everyone was speechless and didn't know how to react.

"That was… Stunning, Hayato-san", said Haruka with a softly voice.

… The cheers and claps that followed after that were a sight to see.

-00-

"And you said that you made the lyrics in such a short time… Wow! They are full of heart, how did you do that?", asked Haruka still amazed.

"It's unusual for me to come with lyrics that fast, that's a exception", answered Tokiya drinking a cup of tea.

The plan was to go back to the hotel after he finished his show, but after listening to her melody a second time he felt the need to ask something that bugged him.

… And that's why he was drinking tea in her house, while the two were chatting.

"… I need to ask something."

"Ok?"

"What were you thinking and feeling when you composed that song?"

"Ah… That's…", murmured closing her eyes, smiling a bit, "I once lived in the city… It was noisy, too fast paced and people looked stressed… So I thought of a melody that was the opposite: Calm and slower… Reaching your heart little by little with a gentle touch..."

"There are moments that the song was higher"

"Yes… I wanted people to be wrapped by the intensity of the melody… So that they stopped for a second and just let themselves relax and enjoy it".

"I see…"

"W-well, that's what I wanted, but I'm not sure if it worked."

"No, it worked.", said Tokiya with a small smile.

It saved him, his heart was too distressed because he forced himself to accept that he wouldn't be able to do what he loved, so when that soothing melody came and stunned him he forgot everything, his heart feeling lighter and free… Even managing to sing as his true self…

I didn't know that I shipped TokiyaxHaruka

No seriously, when I first watched the anime I was cheering for Otoya and was neutral to the rest of the boys as pairings.

For the games, after I read everyone's route I loved Ai!

So… What I'm writing kind of happened? Dunno, I'M FEELING TOO CONFUSED RIGHT NOW!

And next chapter will be Cecil's.. _

To be honest, I'm not that keen to do his chapter because:

1-This is a AU, so no magic gimmicks.

2-… This means that Cecil's reason for liking Haruka right from the start (for her being a muse or something like that), doesn't exist.

3- He loved Haruka since the beginning of the game/anime, so he didn't get the same romantic development like the rest of the guys.

Can you see my point? Cecil is hard to pull off!

Ugh… I'm glad that after Cecil's chapter I can focus on them meeting Haruka again.

Ok, now, I may take longer to update because I don't have internet(daddy canceled it), but don't worry~

Now the Reviews!

Ren chan Anime: Hehehe, there's no such a thing as "bad review", because the fact that people review at all makes me happy ^^, YEAH I KNOW RIGHT?I love this reverse harem because of the awesome music!(ok, because of Nanami and the guys too lololol XD)

Yep, well the idea was about talking by cell phone, so I couldn't avoid it ^^

EaglefootMoonflightVipertail: I always put a lot of effort in my stories, and the fact that you noticed it makes me really happy! I think that I would be wary if my daughter talked with random strangers that called her too XD

B-Best romance in a long time?*Blush**Blush**Blush**Blush*, Oh-My… You flatter me, hehe, thanks a lot!=A=

MikageHime: There's the new chapter, I'm sorry for taking so long _
