Requested by ChiPee21 (hope you like this :DD)

Enjoy~

Tsubasa sighed as she sat on a bench in the park. 'What should I do' she thought, 'Kousaka-san probably doesn't like me'

'AHHHHHHHH' she scream internally, 'but I really, really, really like her!'

"What should I doooooo?!"

Suddenly, a paper smacked her right in the face, covering her vision. "What the hell" she muttered, peeling the paper out of her face. Seeing that the paper is like a hundred thousand year old (or maybe it's just a type of paper? She doesn't know.) But still the text written is readable.

"How to Make a Lady (like) love you" Tsubasa read the neatly written characters, with her eyes brimming with happiness. Is this a fraud? Should I do this? It won't hurt to try isn't it?

Step 1: Bring her flowers.

'Easy step,' Tsubasa confidently said in her thoughts. As she made her way to the nearby flower shop with her disguise, she bought many, many, many roses for Honoka. 'I sure hope Kousaka-san will like these' she thought, 'Ohh...what if she doesn't? Will she hate me? Ughh'

Every meter she came close to the μ's household, she became extremely nervous. 'Did my confidence just died?' she thought, gripping the wheel, 'Come on, Tsubasa, you've already held her hand. You can do this.'

She stopped the car. She settled the roses in front of the home of μ's. Hearing some noises inside, she's relieved that she wasn't heard by any of the members. She readied herself for ringing the doorbell. 'I can do this' she encouraged herself. Taking a deep breath, she pushed the button. The voices stopped inside, and then a bubbly voice said, "I'll get the door!"

And when the door opened, Honoka stood there, she saw Tsubasa carrying a bouquet of roses, and other bouquets behind her.

"F-fo-for y-you..." Tsubasa mumbled, as she gave the bouquet.

Honoka stared at her for some seconds, quietly taking in everything but then,

"ACHOO!"

"Honoka what's the problem-OH MY GOD THROW THAT ROSES AWAY!" A frantic Umi came beside Honoka to snatch the bouquet and look (read: glare) at Tsubasa, "ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL HER?!"

"Ah.. No. No! I didn't mean to-" Tsubasa tried to retort,

"Get out!" Umi said as she slammed the door.

Tsubasa stared at the door for some seconds as her mind slowly processing everything.

'Damn it' she thought, 'I didn't know she's allergic to roses'

Step 2: Cook her favorite food.

Tsubasa hummed as she walked on the busy streets of Akihabara looking for a bakeshop since she can't bake. Seeing the bakeshop, Tsubasa walked to it and bought many, many, many, many melon bread. 'The bread that Kousaka-san always eats during lunch back at high school' she thought, 'N-Not that I'm stalking her though!'.

Scared of being seen by Umi again, Tsubasa left the basket full of melon bread in their doorstep then rang the doorbell and ran away as fast as she could. Though, she hid in the nearby wall to see if Honoka received it.

Honoka heard the doorbell and got up to answer the door. And when she did, she saw heaven...

Inside a beautifully woven object that was used to make holding many things easier, was the most gorgeous sight she'd ever seen. It's her...precious...

"MELON BREAD!" she screamed delightedly, grabbing the basket eagerly, her stomach grumbling with hungriness (and was that her mouth drooling?!).

Then she noticed a white paper tucked in between two of the melon breads, "Hope you liked the gift, Kousaka-san" Honoka read out loud, her eyes brimming with happiness.

She walked inside their home and skipped to the kitchen with hugging the basket full of melon breads. And then she... felt a strong, menacing aura behind her...

"U-U-Um-Umi-chan..." she said while turning around, she hid the basket in her back. She saw an enraged and furious Umi giving her the most menacing glare ever.

Umi smiled the way that made her look like some kind of a witch, "Honoka." She said with tenderness, sending chills to Honoka's spine, "I thought we agreed that you'll be going in a diet."

Honoka smiled sheepishly (although she's praying for help in the inside), "Ehehehe...Umi-chan," she gulped, "Y-yes we did, huh?"

"You haven't forgotten right?"

"O-o-of c-course not!" Honoka said nervously, fearing what would happen if she choose the wrong answer.

Umi smiled more, "So can you explain the basket behind your back?" she asked.

Panicking, Honoka looked for excuses but, "I-I-It's d-definitely not b-bread!"

'Crap!'

Umi's eyes became more vicious and murderous as her smile was replaced by an angry scowl that made Honoka want to go away and hide in another country. Oh how she wish that Kotori will be here. "Give it to me." she ordered, glaring at the shorter girl.

Honoka thought twice. Giving Umi the basket of her heaven and be alive or not giving Umi the basket of her heaven and die?

It was a tear-worthy moment.

'It was nice to see you, many melon bread-san, I wish to see you again in the future'

Umi immediately yanked the basket from Honoka's hands and shoved it down the trash.

Step 3: Compliment her.

Tsubasa thought of ways how to compliment Honoka without distractions as she sat on her couch. Her eyes fell to the phone in her little coffee table. She quickly grabbed it because she just had the best idea for the step. She tapped and tapped until she got to her contacts lists, 'Thank God, I saved her number' she thought. She typed, "Kousaka-san, you look beautiful today!" and pressed send. 'Isn't that kinda weird to just receive it from me out of nowhere? Hm...'

After a few seconds, her phone lit up, "Eh? Tsubasa-chan? Did you see me?"

Tsubasa immediately tapped reply and type out her response, "Ah.. no... I ... was just...uhm... trying to compliment ... you" Tsubasa blushed when she typed it, 'Am I being too creepy?'

"Oh! So that's why! Thank you, Tsubasa-chan!" a reply was received after a few minutes.

Squeezing every bit of her courage, Tsubasa typed, "Kousaka-san, can I call you?"

"Sure!"

After a few rings, "Kou—"

"HELLO! TSUBASA-CHAN!" A loud cheerful voice was heard in the other line. Tsubasa smiled at this, she always loved the cheerful side of Honoka.

"Good Afternoon, Kousaka-san" she said warmly, trying not to sound nervous.

"HO-NO-KA"

"Eh?" Tsubasa was confused on what Honoka was talking about.

"You can call me Honoka, Tsubasa-chan."

"..." Tsubasa didn't know what to say, she's too nervous for this, "H-Ho-Honoka-san?"

"CHAN!"

"H-Honoka-chan!" Tsubasa said awkwardly, not even believing that she called her crush by her first name.

"That's Grea—HONOKA!" a sudden deep voice was heard on the line, "What are you doing!? The Printemps' break ended 2 minutes ago! Who are you talking on your phone!?"

"Ehhh! Umi-chan!"

Tsubasa heard Honoka complain, "Give me your phone!"

"Hello. Please know that calling our group mates during our practice sessions is forbidden. Goodbye."

Then the call ended.

'What the hell did just happen?'

Step 4: Serenade her.

This is, by far, the most romantic thing in this list but Tsubasa hated this. Especially when Honoka's father is in the same home.

Also, this time, Tsubasa have back-ups, namely Anju and Erena.

"Why do we have to do this again?" Erena boredly asked, itching to throw the heavy guitar in her shoulders.

"Oh come on, just help this once okay?" Tsubasa pleaded as they settled their things in front of μ's home.

Tsubasa picked up a pebble and aimed it at Honoka's window, ignoring the protests of Erena ("Are you seriously going to throw that!?") and throw.

It made contact but not loud enough to make Honoka get up on her bed. Anju gave Tsubasa a bigger pebble and aimed, ("No, seriously. You're really going to throw that!?") but Tsubasa already threw the rock and it almost broke the window. But nonetheless, it didn't make the desired effect.

So now, Tsubasa picked up a much bigger rock ("ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS?!") Aiming it directly at the window, she was about to throw it when Erena smacked her head, which made her dropping the rock to the solid ground.

"You retard. Just give her a call, will you!?" Erena glared at her with disbelief.

Tsubasa looked at her thoughtfully, blinking, "Oh you're right."

"Seriously?!"

Ignoring the comment, Tsubasa fished her phone out of her pocket and dialed Honoka's number. After many rings, a groggy voice answered, "ug...hello?"

"Honoka-chan please take a look outside your window..."

A series of thumps and 'ouch' were heard through the phone, and then the window opened wildly, revealing a messy Honoka. Tsubasa found this endearing though Erena and Anju can't say the same.

"TSUBA-"

"Ssshh!" Tsubasa put up her index finger between her lips, silencing Honoka. She gazed at Erena and Anju to signal that they were starting.

The two nodded.

Tsubasa looked at Honoka's eyes, "For you," she said and strummed her guitar.

She was about to sing but then- "HONOKA!"

"Eeeeeeeek! Umi-chan!" Honoka squeaked out, as Umi slammed her door open while shouting her name.

"Why are you still awake in this time of the night!?" Umi said as she glared at the fidgeting girl at the window. Although for Honoka, she was thinking of jumping through it so she could escape Umi. "Are you talking to someone?! Who is it-" Umi walked to the window and saw Tsubasa's group, "YOU!" she angrily glared at Tsubasa, "That's it! I'm going to call the police!"

Honoka gaped at her, "Tsubasa-chan! Run!" she shouted to Tsubasa that frantically ran away with her members.

Step 5: Go out with her.

Tsubasa paled at the written words. 'Go out with her?!' she screamed internally, 'This is too much! This... Ugh...' She stared at the phone in her hand. 'Guess a dinner won't hurt right?'

She nervously tapped Honoka's name at the messaging app. 'Honoka-chan, can we go out tonight?' she typed, 'No, no, no. Too forward.' she thought, "Honoka-chan, will you let me take you out for a dinner tonight?" she typed again, 'Too formal.' she said in her mind,

"Hey, want to go out for a dinner?" 'too casual.'

"Want to go out?" 'too creepy'

"Let's go out?" 'ugh no.'

"Honoka-chan, do you want to go out for a dinner tonight?"

Tsubasa stared at her phone. 'That sounds good yes, but it's missing...something' she thought. Just as she was about to delete the typed text, she accidentally tapped send. 'CRAP' she panicked. 'Oh my God. Help me.'

Meanwhile, Honoka is in the middle of reading her shoujo manga when her phone lit up beside her.

"Honoka-chan, do you want to go out for a dinner tonight?" is what it said.

Blood rushed to Honoka's face, 'A DATE!?' she internally screamed. She steadied her breathing when she tried not to answer as fast as a crazy fangirl that received a text from her favorite idol (read: she is.), "Sure!"

A few seconds later, she received a reply, "Great! I'll pick you up at 6pm! It's a date!" Honoka's blue eyes widen at the text message and her jaw dropped on the floor. 'IT'S A DATE. A DATE. OH MY GOD!' She hurriedly stood up from her bed, her shoujo manga laid forgotten, and ran towards her door-not before stumbling at some of her misplaced things.

"KOTORI-CHAN! I NEED YOUR HELP!"

/-\

Tsubasa got out of her car, not before taking a last look at herself in the side mirror. Deciding that she looks good enough, she turned around and saw the house of muse. She exhales, afterwards taking a deep breath to calm her beating heart. She rang the door bell and prepared for the worst.

After some seconds the door opened, Tsubasa saw Maki boredly gazing at her, already expecting her.

Maki sighed and stared at her with no hint of happiness, "Come in." and left Tsubasa at her incoming death.

When Tsubasa got in the living room, she was surprised. Actually, she was very, very much shocked to see the members of muse waiting for her. Rin was sitting at the sofa with her legs wide open and glaring at her (though it looked quite adorable), Hanayo was on Rin's side glaring also at her (more like pouting or admiring her? Tsubasa can't tell), Nico was sitting at a step of the stairs gazing at her admirably (And is that Maki pulling her? How did she got there?). Lastly, there was the 2nd years—more like former 2nd years. Umi was sitting in the middle of the three with Kotori holding her hand tenderly (more like restraining her to jump at Tsubasa and beat the hell out of her.) And there was Honoka. Red-faced and sitting quietly at her chair, wearing a beautiful dress that hugged her curves, and she's ... very... beautiful.

"8PM." Umi said sternly, obviously controlling herself not to lunge at Tsubasa.

"Eh? But that's-"

"Umi-chan!" Honoka said, disbelief is clear in her face, "That's too-"

"Umi-chan, that's too much!" Kotori interrupted, looking at Umi with a cute pout, hoping to help her childhood friend.

Umi wanted to resist, she is trying to. But with that cute pout of Kotori in front of her face... she sighed, "Fine. 9PM." and glared at Tsubasa.

"That's-"

"Umi-chan!" both of the girls in her sides complained,

"No buts. That's all I can give. If you're still complaining then better not go on to this shameful thing." Umi said sternly, closing her eyes so she won't be seeing the pouts on her childhood friend's faces.

"Then let's go now! Tsubasa-chan! Time is running! Come on!" Honoka said as she dragged Tsubasa away to not waste any of their precious time together.

Umi sighed. "She's so lucky Eli isn't here."

Meanwhile, somewhere in earth, inside a hotel, are two figures enjoying their time together. "N-No-Nozomi," Eli huffed, as she lightly pushed Nozomi away, putting her forehead in the shoulder of the girl above her as she catch her breath. "Nn? What is it?" Nozomi whispered gently in Eli's ear, a finger tracing the back of Eli, in which the latter moaned. "Mnn! I... I'm... getting a feeling ... t-to ... protect o-our children..." Eli said between puffs, her teeth lightly grazing the shoulders of Nozomi. Smiling, Nozomi nipped Eli's ear. When the girl whimper in response, she gave a last lick and assured her, "Father instinct again eh~? Don't worry, Umi-chan is there after all.." Satisfied with that answer, Eli pulled Nozomi into another heated kiss.

And when they parted, "Thanks." was the only thing she can say comprehensible and the rest was ...you can say, history.

Step 6: Confess your feelings.

This was the hardest part. The two are almost finished with their date, standing in front of the door, Tsubasa was contemplating to do it or not.

"So... this is the end, huh?" Honoka broke the ice, still waiting for Tsubasa to do or say something.

"Uhm... yeah..." Tsubasa said quietly. 'Should I?! This is the perfect chance!'

"So..." Honoka said nervously,

Just then, a wave of courage splashed on to Tsubasa, "Uhm, Honoka-chan!" She faced the surprised Honoka, Tsubasa grabbed her hands and clasped it. "I like you!"

Honoka looked at Tsubasa's determined green eyes, "... I like you, too?"

All of the courage earlier was gone. Tsubasa almost face-palmed, but she found this side of Honoka as endearing too, "No, I mean, I like like you. Like as in ... L-love ..." she explained herself with a evident blush on her cheeks. "B-but if you don't like me too, then i-it's oka-"

Chu~!

Soft lips were on hers. Her eyes widen at the sudden contact. 'This is heaven...' And no matter how she wished that they stay together like that, Honoka pulled away with a cheerful smile, "I like you too, Tsubasa-chan!"

Tsubasa blushed. She was going to say something when the window loudly opened and a blue haired girl jumped out of it.

"HOW DARE YOU TOOK THE PURITY OF HONOKA!"

'I'm gonna be dead.' she thought as she ran away.

Nobody else knew why the leader of A-Rise was running in the streets and a blue haired monster and the rest of the muse was chasing her.

STEP 7: BE HONEST

After a few months of dating Honoka, Tsubasa was thankful that they were happy. Even with their unbalanced schedules, they're getting strong.

Of course, they find time for each other. Sometimes, Tsubasa will deliver a bouquet of flowers in the home of muse (nope they're not roses) or Honoka will surprise Tsubasa and will go to their practice sessions (which is okay of the other members of A-Rise). And there are times where they were just doing something simple.

Her ringtone blared and snapped her out of her thoughts, she reached out for her phone and tapped the message.

Honoka messaged her again a selfie of herself with a big smile and a peace sign with a caption of "Have a great day today~ I love you~!"

Tsubasa smiled warmly. She took a selfie of herself smiling happily and winking at the camera with a caption of

"Of course! Just a picture of you already made my day great~ I love you too~!"

Step 8: Do your best to make her happy

It was the best day of her life.

Seeing Honoka in a beautiful white dress, holding a bouquet with her mom and dad at her sides, smiling happily and looked like she was about to cry.

When they finally reached where Tsubasa was, her mother and father smiled at her and told her to 'Take care of her' and 'Make her happy' Tsubasa nodded. Of course. She's an idol after all. It's her specialty to make everybody happy. Especially her.

When it's her turn to say her vows,

she said,

"I'll make you happy forever, Honoka."

OMAKE:

Tsubasa was moving her things to their new house when an old piece of paper fell down. She picked it up and smiled.

"Hm.. Tsubasa-chan, what's that?" Honoka suddenly appeared behind her.

"Oh this?" Tsubasa signaled to the paper, Honoka nodded. "This was the list that helped me to date you,"

Honoka's eyes lit up, "Really? Can I see?"

"Sure"

"Woah." Honoka said, "I kinda know this handwriting..."

"Eh? Really? The paper looks old though..."

"Hey! Let's write another step! I mean Step 7 and Step 8 was definitely written by two different persons, look at the handwriting!" Honoka excitedly said to her wife.

"Hmm... You're right... Can you get me some pen?"

"Sure!"

"What are you going to write?" Honoka asked as she handed the pen to Tsubasa.

"Oh you'll see.." Tsubasa smirked, knowing exactly what to write.

...

"Done." Tsubasa said as she laid the pen gently on the table.

Honoka rushed to see what her wife wrote and when she did, she laughed merrily, "You're right, Tsubasa-chan! Step 0 huh?"

Tsubasa chuckled as she pecked her wife's lips, "Of course, that's my number 1 problem back then."

Honoka smiled and kissed her wife more.

As for the paper, the paper laid forgotten in the table, and it was written,

How to Make a Lady (like) love you

Step 0: Make sure to be friends with their friends (especially their fathers.)

-END-
