Previously on Love Song Problems: My eyes widened as I stared at him before I burst out in giggles, clutching onto Kaoru's hand that I was holding as Kaoru stood up, pulling me to his chest as tears prickled in the corner of my eyes from all the giggling I was letting out, "D-Did you just pro-propose to me for Syo-kun?"

"Someone had to do it," Kaoru said as I buried my face into his chest, hiding my bright smile in his chest, "I was kidding by the way. Hey! At least I got you smiling and giggling!"

"WHAT WAS THAT FOR KAORU?!" I flinched slightly at the loud voice as I pulled my face away from the blond's chest to look over at Syo-kun whose face was a bright red and I could practically see the steam coming out of his ears. The others around him were slowly backing away from Syo-kun and I could see sweat rolling down their foreheads from the heat that Syo-kun was emitting.

Kaoru chuckled as he said, ruffling my hair using both of his hands, "Don't take it serious Syo-chan! I'll allow you to propose to Haruka-chan."

I giggled as Kaoru let go off me to walk towards Syo-kun who was still steaming as he screamed at his brother for embarrassing him. The other idols gathered around the twins to get to know the twin of Syo-kun better and I was left standing off to the side as I observed the group with loving eyes.

'Dear Grandmother, I couldn't have asked for a better life than this. I hope there would be more moments like this.'

NOW ON WITH THE STORY!

Chapter 29: VISIBLE ELF

~The Next Day~Haruka's POV~

I yawned happily as I snuggled in bed, feeling relaxed. Yesterday was fun, spending time with Ringo-kun and Kaoru was relaxing. Especially with Kaoru, he was able to get me to relax in a long time. Although I could have done less with his constant teasing of Syo-kun and I, especially around the other idols who seemed to tense up and start to fidget whenever Kaoru would bring up Syo-kun and I ending up together and getting married.

"GET UP!" I groaned as my door was forced open and I turned to my side, facing away from the person who entered my room, "Nami-chan! Come on! Get up! I never have the chance to be with you because of your idols constantly around you and because of my damn work."

"Get lost Yuu-kun," I buried my head into my pillow as I grumbled at him which was muffled due to the pillow, "I'm trying to relax here. I've been stressed almost every day with these assignments and most especially because of these men! Break me some slack."

I heard Yuu-kun blow out a raspberry as he tugged on my covers that I was clutching onto for dear life, "But Nami-chan! I thought you loved those men."

"I do!" I said tiredly before tugging the covers over my head, "But I don't want to deal with anyone just yet. Talking to Kaoru made me realize what I needed to do but I'm not ready to tell them yet. I'm so relaxed and I know telling them will only increase my stress."

I blinked slightly when I heard a notification come from my phone that was on my bedside table. I reached over to grab my phone as I looked at the notification. I smiled softly at the little message of encouragement that Kaoru sent, "You can do it Haruka-chan. Stay strong. I'm here whenever you need someone to talk to."

I smiled before placing my phone back on the table side and tossing off the covers from my body as I stretched, shooting a look at my blue haired best friend who was smiling at me almost cat like, "Get out of here. I need to get ready. I'll meet you outside."

"Hai!" He exclaimed as he walked over to my closet, "Shion-san has work so we'll have to go on ahead with Cecil-san. I'll pick out an outfit for you before we go meet two of your boys."

I sighed, already used to when Yuu-kun would call the idols my boys as I trudged towards the bathroom, ignoring Yuu-kun who was rummaging through my closet in search for an outfit.

I locked the bathroom door before I started on my daily routine. Once I was done, I walked out of the bathroom, shivering slightly when the cold air of my room hit my partially covered body and I looked around to see that Yuu-kun wasn't around and left me an outfit to wear on my bed. I walked over to my bed where the outfit was laid out for me and I quickly put the outfit on before turning to face the mirror to look over my overall appearance. The outfit Yuu-kun chose for me was a white, short sleeved, button up polo shirt and a dark blue mid thigh length skirt that was flared slightly. It was a plain and simple outfit but it looked really adorable. {A/N - The outfit she wore at the beginning of Episode 5}

I smiled before nodding at my reflection before searching for a pair of shoes. Once I found a pair that matched with my outfit, I quickly searched for my necklace before clipping it on and whispering to myself with a sweat drop, "I'm always wearing this necklace. I need to find another type of accessory."

I quickly picked up my folder and my phone before rushing out my room to be greeted by Yuu-kun who had a smirk on his face. I approached him with caution as the smirk on his face widened, "What are you thinking about Yuu-kun?"

"What makes you think that I'm thinking about something?" He asked in what he thought was an innocent voice but I heard the mischief behind said innocent voice, "I didn't even say anything yet or indicate anything."

"Because you're smirking funny," I said, shuddering slightly when he wrapped his arm around my shoulders, "I know you well enough that you're thinking something either hilariously funny or dangerously stupid."

He started pouted as we walked towards the lounge where we heard STARISH's voices. I blinked in surprise at seeing the whole group staring at Cecil-san who was facing the large window in the lounge. I shrugged Yuu-kun's arm off my shoulders as I walked over to Syo-kun before taking a seat beside the blond. I tilted my head slightly to the side when Cecil-san suddenly bowed down slightly as he greeted, "Nice to meet you."

He bowed down yet again before greeting, "Nice to meet you."

We were silent until Ittoki-kun broke the silence with his curiosity, "Cecil, what are you doing?"

"I'm practicing introducing myself," Cecil-san said as he turned slightly to face Ittoki-kun who was standing behind me, "Today is the first time we'll have a proper conversation.. and I wish to make a good impression."

"You're meeting with your duet project after this right?" Shinomiya-san asked happily as he looked towards Cecil-san.

Cecil-san turned fully to face us as he placed a hand on his chest and he smiled, "Hai! I wonder how he really is like."

"Good luck," Syo-kun beamed happily at the brunette.

"Cecil-san, shall we go?" I smiled up at him as I continued, "Amakusa-san has a job he needs to be at currently and will meet up with us there instead. I hope you don't mind as well but Yuu-kun wanted to keep me company."

Cecil-san dropped his hand from his chest as he smiled, "Hai! I don't mind. Let's get going then."

I stood up from my seat and walked back to Yuu-kun who was smiling softly down at me. He wrapped his arm around my waist as he pulled me closer eliciting growls, snarls, and hisses from the idols in the room which caused me to sigh in exasperation. I didn't even bother to look up at Yuu-kun to know that he had a smug smirk on his face as he looked at the idols, "Don't start Yuu-kun. Let's just go."

"Hai, hai Nami-chan!" Yuu-kun exclaimed overly excitedly as I slipped out of his grip and walked towards the door, hearing two pairs of footsteps following behind me.

I quickly hailed a cab over as we got in, me in between the two men as I turned to face Cecil-san, "You excited to sing with Amakusa-san?"

"Hai. I'm really excited to sing with Shion. I hope we can make an amazing song together," the 16 year old idol stated, excitement bubbling in his voice as he reached forward to clasp his hands around my hands tightly, "I promise to make an amazing song with him Haruka."

I smiled softly as I squeezed his hand lightly, "Of course. I know you two will do your best to make an amazing song."

He nodded as the cab stopped when we reached our destination. Yuu-kun quickly paid the cab before we got out, walking in the studio and towards the meeting room. I walked towards the table taking a seat while Cecil-san took a seat beside me. Yuu-kun decided to lean against the wall beside the door as he observed the two of us. Cecil-san seemed really giddy and he was constantly fidgeting in his seat from his excitement. I giggled before reaching out and taking a hold of his hand that was on his lap and he suddenly tensed up. He turned towards me with large bugged out eyes before a bright grin appeared on his face. I smiled sweetly up at him, "Don't worry Cecil-san. I'm sure everything will go on really great."

"I really hope so Haruka," he said as he lowered his head, "I really hope this turns out well. I want to make sure this works out well because STARISH needs this. I want this to be fun for both me and Shion."

"I'm sure it will," I looked around as a frown appeared on my face, "He's late.."

He nodded slowly as he looked at me, "Yes, but it's fine. The music's not going anywhere."

"Maybe the job he's at is running a little late," I said reassuringly with a smile before I turned to look at Yuu-kun who had a frown on his face. My smile slowly dropped as I narrowed my eyes to get a better look at Yuu-kun's face. His golden yellow eyes were narrowed and his pupils were almost slit like, the frown on his face twitched slightly before deepening and I could see the furrow of his eyebrows, 'Oh no.. what's wrong with him?'

"Let's wait for him," I snapped out of my observations when Cecil-san's voice broke through.

I nodded unconsciously before looking towards the door when it opened. I blinked in confusion when no one walked in and I turned towards Cecil-san who looked equally as confused as I was, "Are?" (Huh?)

We got up before walking towards the door before leaning over to peek outside. A smile appeared on my face as I saw Amakusa-san staring at the wall. Before I could say anything, I felt a hand grasp mine and I looked back into the room to see Yuu-kun's serious face. The smile on my face dropped as Yuu-kun whispered in a hushed voice for the two idols not to hear, "Shion-san has been standing out there for 10 minutes before he opened the door."

"Na-Nani?" I listened to the two idols introduce themselves to each other.. well more like Cecil-san introducing himself to Amakusa-san who didn't make any indication that he acknowledged the brunette, "Let's talk about this later Yuu-kun."

I turned back to the two before piping up, "You already know me Amakusa-san. I'm Nanami Haruka, and I'll be composing the song."

We walked back into the meeting room silently taking seats and I blinked when Amakusa-san just took out his phone and started scrolling through it, "Umm.."

"Let's discuss the song," I turned towards Cecil-san who spoke up suddenly.

"Y-Yes, let's," I turned back towards the disinterested white haired idol before asking softly, "Amakusa-san, do you have any ideas?"

When Amakusa-san ignored me, I cautiously peeked towards Yuu-kun who had his eyes closed but I could see how tense he was. I took a deep breath before piping up yet again, "A-Ano.. Amakusa-san?"

"This is a great opportunity," I turned towards Cecil-san yet again as he continued softly, "I'd like to sing about our world. Yours and mine."

I blinked, slightly startled at his statement before asking with a tilt of my head, "Your world?"

"But we've only just met," I looked away from Cecil-san to look at Amakusa-san who just closed his eyes with a sigh as Cecil-san continued, "Let's work on finding it."

I watched as Amakusa-san look away from his phone and towards the ground as he said in a dreamy tone, "Unable to see the end of the road, we're forced to wander in darkness."

"Nani?" I sweat dropped in confusion but I got startled when Cecil-san seemed to understand Amakusa-san's strange words.

"Those are wonderful lyrics," I blinked at Cecil-san before looking towards Yuu-kun who had his eyes opened this time and he had his eyebrow raised, his confusion as evident as mine.

"The overwhelming cheerful energy disrupts the Amakusa grass," my eye brows furrowed at what Amakusa-san said as I continued to look at Yuu-kun, trying to gather what he thought of the situation through the facial expressions he was showing.

I looked towards Cecil-san who flashed a bright smile at Amakusa-san, "I'm sure lots of people would want to listen to that song."

I looked back and forth from the two idols as Amakusa-san mumbled out in a tone of defeat, "My words aren't even getting through."

"You're right. It may not be necessary to express ourselves with words," I looked at Cecil-san's happy expression as he continued, "Let's use other methods to find out song."

~Time Skip~Third Person View~

Yuuma, Cecil, and Haruka walked into the dorms and Haruka was surprised to see the idols of STARISH gathered in the lounge and were deep in conversation with each other. Natsuki looked up from his conversation with Otoya before he greeted the three new arrivals happily, "Cecil-kun, Yuuma-kun, Haru-chan! Welcome home!"

Haruka smiled as the other idols looked up from their conversations, brightening significantly as she greeted back, "We're back."

"I'll be lounging in your room Nami-chan," Yuuma said as he placed a kiss on the crown of the golden green eyed composer's head, "We need to talk as soon as you get to the room. I have something I need to talk about."

Haruka looked into Yuuma's golden yellow eyes and they seemed to be talking to each other through their eyes before Haruka nodded slowly.

"How did it go?" Otoya asked once Yuuma left the lounge to go to the girls dorm.

Cecil smiled as he held out a peace sign towards the other idols in the room, "Shion and I are on the same wavelength."

Haruka looked towards the STARISH members who looked at each other in confusion as Cecil continued, "Our feelings are perfectly in sync."

Haruka smiled nervously as Masato spoke up with his arms crossed over his chest, "What was he like?"

"He doesn't say much, but I felt he had a clear image," Cecil continued with a bright smile, "He's taking the project very seriously."

"I'm glad it went well," Ren said with a smile, one hand on his hip as he looked at Cecil.

"I'm look forward to hearing the song you'll come up with," Tokiya stated as he turned to face Cecil in which he shot a smile at the brunette.

Syo raised a fist before exclaiming excitedly, "Show 'em how you feel."

Cecil placed a hand on his chest as he smiled, "Don't worry about me."

Haruka shot a worried look up at Cecil as Natsuki spoke up, "Sounds promising."

Haruka turned slightly in place as she watched Cecil walking away with a slight frown on her face. She got startled when Ren spoke up suddenly once Cecil was out of hearing range, "Well?"

Haruka turned to look towards the orange haired man, the other idols suddenly had serious looks on their faces as Ren continued, "Are you worried about something, my Lady?"

"What?" I looked at all of them, making eye contact with each of them before I looked away with a small sigh.

"Nanami, is something wrong?" Otoya asked softly as he took a step forward.

Haruka took a deep breath before looking back at the idols with a sad look crossing her face, "I still don't know how Amakusa-san feels about the project. And.. I couldn't really understand what they were talking about."

Tears slowly gathered in her golden green eyes as Syo stammered out, "W-Well, you only just started."

"There's still a long way to go. You'll be fine Nanami," Otoya piped up, cheering up the composer slightly with his words.

"Hai! You're right. Thank you Ittoki-kun," Haruka smiled at the idols before she looked at the time, "I'm going to head to my room. I still need to talk to Yuu-kun."

They all smiled at the red-orange haired composer as they bid her good night before going back to their previous conversations. Haruka walked briskly to this girls dorm, grateful that she didn't bump into any of the other idols as she opened the door to her room. She looked inside to see Yuuma sitting on her bed, staring out of the window. She took a step inside the room, shutting the door behind her and only then did the man on her bed speak up, "Did you notice?"

Haruka looked at him, confusion written on her face as he continued, "You noticed how Shion-san was acting like didn't you?"

She slowly realized what he was talking about before she stuttered out, staring into Yuuma's glowing eyes as he looked away from the window, "H-Hai.. De-Demo, I feel like maybe I'm just thinking into it. Amakusa-san and Cecil-san got to know each other these past few months even before the duet project started."

"Has Shion-san ever acted like this around you guys?" Haruka shook her head as Yuuma continued, "Then what could have caused him to act like this now? He's open with you right?"

The woman shrugged as she whispered, "He has been affectionate with me on more than one occasion and it seems like he didn't hold anything against any of the STARISH members, nor the QUARTET NIGHT members."

Haruka walked towards her bed, taking a seat beside Yuuma as she laid her head on her best friend's shoulder softly, "I hope this doesn't escalate into something like Yamato-kun and Syo-kun's duet project."

"We can only hope Nami-chan," Yuuma wrapped his arm around his red-orange haired best friend as he whispered softly, "Why don't you go to sleep? I have a feeling that you're up for a very difficult week dealing with those two idols."

He squeezed her softly before getting off the bed, motioning to Haruka to get comfortable in bed. She did so without complaint as she slipped underneath the covers. Yuuma tucked her in gently before leaning over and placing a kiss on her forehead, "Rest now Nami-chan. You'll need it."

Haruka let out a small noise of acknowledgement, only taking notice of Yuuma who straightened up and walked towards the door and opening it. Before Yuuma stepped out, he looked back at the woman in bed with a soft smile before whispering, "Good night Nami-chan."

Haruka slowly closed her eyes as she heard the door close behind Yuuma. As Haruka drifted off to sleep, Haruka let one thought drift in her head, 'Please let this duet project flow smoothly.'

~The Next Day~Haruka's POV~

Cecil-san, Amakusa-san, and I were once again seated around the table of the meeting room while Yuu-kun was standing off to the side near the door, almost like a bodyguard as he shifted his eyes back and forth from the two idols seated across from each other, a frown plastered on his face. I frowned slightly when I glanced towards Amakusa-san who was yet again scrolling through his phone with earbuds on. I looked towards Cecil-san who had a polite smile on his face as he spoke up, "Why don't we start with our voices?"

"You mean an acapella?" I asked softly as a smile appeared on my face, "It would be good to start a style that suits you."

"Hai!" Cecil-san said as he broke eye contact with me to look at Amakusa-san who didn't look even remotely interested, "Shion, what do you think? ...Shion?"

Amakusa-san looked up from his phone as he removed an earbud, "I'll let you handle it."

I looked towards Amakusa-san, worry written in my eyes, "Are you having trouble coming up with ideas?"

He only looked at me blankly with his light purple eyes as Cecil-san exclaimed, "Why don't we try singing?"

We stood up before I walked over to the piano in the corner of the room, taking a seat. I pressed on the keys of the piano, smiling softly as the sound floated through the air.

"It will be easier to come up with ideas like this," Cecil-san said as he looked at Amakusa-san.

"Fine, then," Amakusa-san said without a tone of interest and I twitched slightly in fear as I saw a frown make its way on Cecil-san's face.

The frown was quickly replaced with a smile as he exclaimed, "I know. Let's try moving next."

Cecil-san quickly took a hold of Amakusa-san's hand before dragging him off towards another room. I dropped my hands from the keys of the piano, placing my hands on my lap as I stared after them. Yuu-kun slowly approached me as I lowered my head to cover my eyes, "Nami-chan.. are you okay?"

I bit my lip before forcing a smile on my face as I lifted my head up, my eyes closed, "Hai! I'm doing just fine Yuuma."

"No you're not Nami-chan," I froze slightly at his firm and harsh tone as I opened my eyes to stare into his golden yellow eyes, "You called me Yuuma."

Tears gathered in my eyes as Yuu-kun cupped my cheek gently, "Nami-chan.. What's wrong?"

My tears spilled out of my eyes and I sobbed out quietly, "Some-Something's wrong.. Ama-Amakusa-sa-san doesn't see-seem into the du-duet project."

I felt Yuu-kun wipe away my tears that were falling to no avail as more tears replaced the ones he wiped away, "I-I'm so scar-scared Yuu-ku-kun. I don't wa-want this to go the wa-way I'm imagining."

"It won't," I stared into Yuu-kun's gentle eyes as he cooed softly, "It won't Nami-chan.. I promise. I know it'll work. I know it may seem like this is going to shit but I know it will work out."

I searched in his eyes for any doubt to see that he had nothing but sincerity in them and I slowly nodded, feeling assured that Yuu-kun felt like this wouldn't go down. I slowly wiped away my tears as I choked out, "Thank you Yuu-kun."

He patted my head softly as he said with a sincere tone, "You're welcome Nami-chan."

He suddenly got silent and I looked up to see that he was looking at his watch. He had a frown on his face as he lifted his head to look me in the eye, "Nami-chan.. I know this isn't a good time. But I need to meet up with my boss for my new idea to make a new book."

I slowly nodded as I felt his hand that was on my head ruffle my hair as I forced a bright and warm smile on my face, "I'll see you back at the dorms Yuu-kun. Good luck."

He nodded slowly with a bright smile that lit up his face before he left but not without giving me a word or two, "Okay. I'll see you at the dorms. Keep your head up and stay strong. Nothing will happen. I guarantee that.. I love you Nami-chan."

With those words, he left me alone with the silence and I let my smile drop as I lowered my head to cover my golden green eyes that slowly became dull, "Hopefully what you say is true Yuu-kun."

~Time Skip~Third Person View~

It was already night time and Cecil and Haruka were walking back to the dorms alone together because Shion had to leave on a job as soon as the meeting ended. Haruka had a small smile on her face due to taking Yuuma's words to heart when Cecil suddenly broke the silence, "Shion doesn't seem to be enjoying himself."

Haruka turned her head to look at the brown haired idol, startled at his depressed look and she said softly in an encouraging tone, "I'll do my best to write a song for you two."

"Let's do our best again tomorrow," Cecil said, a smile appearing on his face as he looked down towards her.

"Hai!" Haruka exclaimed happily before a frown appeared on her face when Cecil looked away from her, a frown gracing his lips.

~The Next Day~

Haruka was walking down the corridors of the studio with Cecil by her side as they discussed more about the concept of the song when the two heard yelling coming from a door that was open, "You're too heavy Shion!"

The two peeked inside and their eyes widened at the sight in front of them. HEAVENS were gathered for a photo shoot and Shion was draped on Nagi who was using the 13 year old as a body pillow while the other HEAVENS members were just staring at the two youngest of HEAVENS with smiles on their faces, but what startled the two that was peeking in was the large smile on Shion's face.

"Nagi, you have the warmth of a child," Shion mumbled as he held onto Nagi, "It's so comfy."

"Stop watching and help me," Nagi whined as he looked towards Van for help.

Van chuckled as he stated with a raised eye brow, "Isn't this a good opportunity to build some muscle?"

Nagi pouted as he whined even louder, "I'm the cute one! I'm fine the way I am."

"Ii! (Good!) This combination is truly HEAVENS," Eiichi said as he pushed his black rimmed glasses up the bridge of his nose.

"Eiichi gave us permission. You shall carry me," Shion cooed softly as he snuggled closer to Nagi, who shot Shion a tired look.

"That doesn't make any sense," Nagi whined and Haruka looked away from the scene to stare at Cecil who clenched his fists tightly as Nagi screamed, "Eiji, Yamato! Help!"

Haruka looked worriedly at Cecil who just looked away from the scene and began walking towards the meeting room. Haruka bit her lip as she followed after the brown haired idol, but not before looking at the room that held the HEAVENS members. The two arrived at the meeting room and they sat down. Haruka looked over at Cecil to see that he had a downcast look on his face, "Cecil.. are you okay?"

"Shion was smiling when he was with HEAVENS," Haruka bit her lip as she noticed how depressed Cecil seemed, "He was different from when he's with me."

The two looked up when the door opened yet again and they got up to peek outside to see Shion standing out, staring at the wall with a blank look on his face. Cecil approached Shion, reaching out for the white haired HEAVENS member's hand slowly, "Shion.."

Shion pulled away his hand before Cecil could wrap his hand around it. Cecil looked upset before lifting his hand slightly, "Are you not having fun right now? HEAVENS and STARISH are rivals. But haven't the muses led us to sing together as partners?"

"Partners?" Haruka watched in fear as she saw the look that Shion shot Cecil as he uttered the word like it was a curse.

"Hai. I'd like to enjoy Haruka's song," Cecil attempted to grab onto Shion's hand yet again, "With you-"

Haruka let out a terrified gasp as Shion slapped away Cecil's hand before it could take hold of his own hand as he exclaimed angrily, "Don't touch me!"

Haruka took a step back as she stared at Shion with shaky eyes as the white haired idol mumbled angrily, shooting Cecil an angry glare, "I don't need anything besides HEAVENS. I swore I would only sing with HEAVENS. If I break my oath, my soul will be defiled!"

"Is that why you don't smile when you're around Cecil-san?" Haruka asked softly, biting her lip afterwards as she stared back and forth from the two idols, 'Yuu-kun, where are you when I need you?"

"Music brings people's hearts together," Cecil exclaimed as he tried to reason with Shion, "Your soul won't be-"

"Quiet!" Haruka watched as tears gathered into Shion's purple eyes as he spoke, "I put up with this because I thought it would benefit HEAVENS but I can't take it anymore. I refuse to sing with you!"

The two watched as Shion ran and Haruka yelled out as she took a few steps forward to stand in front of Cecil, "Amakusa-san! Wait!"

Haruka turned to look at Cecil who had an upset look on his face, "Cecil-san, I'll go catch up with Amakusa-san. I'll try and reason with him. You go on ahead to the dorms."

Haruka didn't wait for a reply as she ran after Shion. Haruka looked around once she exited the studio to see him a few meters away from me as he continued running towards the direction of the dorms. Haruka ran after him screaming, "Amakusa-san! Amakusa-san! Chotto matte!" (Wait a minute!)

He didn't seem to hear the red-orange haired composer as he continued running and Haruka started to feel the burn on her sides but she ignored it as she pushed herself harder to run faster. In no time, Haruka started to see the dorms come into sight and Shion running in. She followed after him as he entered through a door, slamming it shut behind him. Haruka wrenched open the door once she reached the door and she stared bug eyed at the HEAVENS members who seemed to be gathered around a closed closet door. They turned to face the woman that entered their dorms as soon as she opened the door and they gaped openly at the woman. Haruka took greedy breaths, her throat running dry as she wheezed out, "Whe-Where's Ama-Amakusa-san?"

"Haruka! Are you okay? What happened?" Nagi walked towards Haruka briskly, taking out a bright yellow handkerchief from his pocket as he dabbed the handkerchief on her forehead that was dripping with sweat, "Why are you so out of breath?"

"I ran all the way from the studio chasing Amakusa-san," Haruka panted out as she leaned herself on Nagi who didn't seem to mind the added weight that she put on him, "Can I have some water please?"

Van approached the golden green eyed woman, holding out a half full bottle for her to take, "Gomen Ha-chan. This is the only bottle we have on hand. It's mine by the way."

"It's fine. Thank you Van-kun," Haruka took the bottle from his grasp before uncapping it and chugging its content. Once she was done, she turned towards Nagi who had an arm wrapped around her waist with a small smile on her face, "I'm sorry for using you as a arm rest Nagi-kun."

"It's okay Haruka," he flashed her a bright child-like grin as he squeezed her waist slightly, "I don't mind holding you like this."

Haruka blushed before she pushed herself off of the 13 year old idol as she approached the closet that Shion was in, "Amakusa-san.. please come out."

"I don't want to!" Haruka let out a sigh as she slowly opened the door slightly to peek in to see Shion's curled up form, his face buried in his knees, "I can't do it Hoshi-chan. I won't! I'm sorry."

Haruka looked towards the other members of HEAVENS with a sigh and asked timidly, "Is it okay if you give us a minute?"

They nodded albeit a bit hesitantly before Eiichi looked at the others, "Let's see if STARISH knows what's wrong with Shion."

With that said, they walked out the room and Haruka was left alone with Shion.

~Haruka's POV~

I knelt down as I slowly opened the closet door so I can get a full glimpse of the white haired HEAVENS member I fell in love with, "Amakusa-san, what's wrong?"

Amakusa-san slowly lifted his head to look into my golden green eyes that were full of worry as the tears that gathered in his eyes fell, "Gomen Hoshi-chan. But I can't sing your song.. not with him."

"But why..?" I asked softly as I scooted closer to Amakusa-san who tensed up, "What's so wrong with singing with Cecil-san?"

"I can't!" He exclaimed loudly as he buried his head back into his knees, "I promised myself that I would only sing with HEAVENS. Singing with anyone else will defile my soul.."

I scooted into the closet to join Amakusa-san as I leaned towards him, laying my head onto his shoulder as I whispered softly, "Why? Why would it defile your soul?"

I pulled my head away from his shoulder when he looked up, resting his chin on his knees which he brought closer to his chest, "Be-Because HEAVENS.. they're my first friends.. my family.. I can't lose them. I don't want to."

Amakusa-san looked at me with tears falling from his purple eyes as he whispered, "I can't afford to lose HEAVENS too.."

"Amakusa-san," I whispered softly as I watched the tears roll down his cheeks, "You're not going to lose HEAVENS."

Before I could say anything else, I was pulled into a tight hug. I let out a light and startled gasp before I relaxed as I returned the hug, "It's okay Amakusa-san."

Amakusa-san pulled away from the hug, tears still falling down his cheeks as he leaned down and placed a kiss on the corner of my lips. He lingered slightly before pulling away, "I'm sorry Hoshi-chan. I want to sing your song but.."

I shook my head as I wiped away Amakusa-san's tears, "I understand Amakusa-san."

I stood up as I walked out of the closet, shutting it behind me as I said behind the closed door, leaning my forehead on it slightly, "I'll see you later Amakusa-san."

I started walking towards the door that exited from the room that looked similarly to that of a living room now that I took notice of the room before opening it and shutting it behind me. I started walking towards the dorm side that belonged to STARISH only to be met half way by HEAVENS who seemed to be returning from talking to STARISH. Eiji smiled as he asked me softly, "Is Shion better?"

"I.. I don't know.." I whispered softly as I looked into Eiji's purple eyes, "You guys should talk to him.. try and make him feel better. He's really down."

"We will, my Sakura," Kira said as he cupped my cheek gently as he stared at me with his warm yellow tinted eyes, "We'll see you later."

I nodded as they walked past me. I took a deep breath before walking a few steps forward and turning a right before walking up a large set of stairs that led to the large piano that overlooked the dorms. I let out a tired sigh as I sat down, looking down at the black and white keys of the piano, 'What am I going to do?'

I looked up determinedly as I placed my fingers on the keys before whispering, "Yosh! I need to make Cecil-san and Amakusa-san's duet song."

With that, I started composing the perfect song for the two idols to sing. I was too into my composing that I didn't notice that 30 minutes has passed until I was sure I composed the perfect song. I was gathering the newly composed song into a neat pile when I heard footsteps coming down a flight of stairs. I looked up to see Cecil-san walking down as I exclaimed with surprise laced in my voice, "Cecil-san!"

"I'm going to see Shion," I blinked startled as Cecil-san continued, "I understand how he feels now. We feel very similarly."

I smiled before I clutched the pile of music sheets to my chest as I stood up, approaching Cecil-san. I held out the bundle of papers as I spoke softly, "This is your song."

Cecil-san held out a hand to take the bundle of papers from my hands before he hesitated and instead of taking the pile, he pulled me into a tight hug before he whispered into my ear sweetly, "Thank you, my princess."

He pulled away from me, placing a kiss on my forehead before taking the papers from me, "I promise we'll sing this song together."

"I'll come with you Cecil-san," Cecil-san blinked in surprise at me before a smile appeared on his face. He took a hold of my hand before pulling me along with him.

~Third Person View~

"What made you realize that you felt similar to Amakusa-san?" Haruka asked softly as she tilted her head to look at the dark skinned idol.

Cecil smiled softly before whispering, "Camus made me realize something important.. that I was invading into Shion's territory and that Shion needs his space."

Haruka blinked in surprise and she tilted her head, "Camus-senpai came back to the dorms? I thought QUARTET NIGHT went back on tour?"

"I thought so too," Cecil sweat dropped before he stopped when they reached the lounge causing Haruka to stop as well when she felt him tug on her arm, "Haruka.."

Haruka looked back at him to see the tender look in his blue-green eyes, "I love you Haruka."

"Na-Nani?" Haruka blushed a bright red at his sudden confession of love as he took a step towards her, "Where did that come from?"

"I just wanted to say it," Cecil pulled the red orange haired composer into a tight embrace as he placed a kiss on the crown of her head, "I love you, my princess and I will forever be your prince."

Haruka smiled softly into his embrace, before they were interrupted by a loud bang and running footsteps. They pulled apart and Haruka looked up in surprise to see Shion running towards them. Cecil called out as Shion halted, staring blankly at Cecil, "Shion!"

Shion turned away from Cecil as he ran out of the dorms causing Cecil to call out to him, "Wait!"

The idol of STARISH and the composer of STARISH shared a look with each other before nodding in the same time and running after the white haired HEAVENS member. The two caught up with him, running only a few feet away from him as Cecil called out, "Shion, I'm sorry. I wasn't trying to understand you."

Haruka bit her lip as she stayed silent, only letting out heavy pants as she tried to keep up with the two idols as Shion turned slightly to growl at Cecil, "You came all the way here just to say that?"

Haruka jumped slightly when she saw a root on the ground but Cecil wasn't so lucky for he tripped over it before regaining his balance, "But now it's different. I understand your desire to protect and preserve your space."

Haruka let out a gasp as she watched Shion trip over a rock before falling forward. He slowly pushed himself up as he screamed, "How could you understand?!"

Cecil and Haruka slowly came to a stop and Haruka bent over, her hands on her knees as she tried to draw in greedy gulps of air as Cecil talked with Shion, "I do understand. Because STARISH is where I belong."

Haruka zoned out as she tried to catch her breath from the run, 'How are they not out of breath? I really need to keep a look out on my body. All this running and chasing seem to be very frequent nowadays.'

'Please work things out,' Haruka slowly straightened up as she looked back and forth from the two idols, not exactly listening to their conversation as she hoped with everything she had that things will turn out nicely, 'Cecil-san.. I hope you know what to say..'

"STARISH is a constellation," Haruka blinked slightly as she watched Cecil point up to the night sky, "I thought I was a lone star among a sea of stars shining in the sky, but there were so many brilliant stars who would stand beside me."

Shion turned to face Cecil as Cecil smiled softly, holding out his arms to the side slightly, "Shion, you're one of the stars shining in the constellation that is HEAVENS."

"The constellation that is HEAVENS.." Haruka heard Shion mumble under his breath and she turned to look at him, hope shining in her green eyes.

"And we are stars shining in the same sky," Cecil left Haruka's side as he approached Shion, holding out the song the red-orange haired composer made for them for the white haired idol to take, "Sing for HEAVENS."

Shion asked softly as he tilted his head up slightly to look into Cecil's eyes, "What do you sing for?"

Cecil flashed Shion a warm smile as he stated gently, "I'll sing for STARISH."

Shion looked surprised for his purple eyes widened slightly as he whispered, "So we sing together, for different things?"

"I'll wait for you to come," Cecil whispered as Shion reached over and took the papers that Cecil was holding out for him to take. Haruka watched as Cecil approached her before standing in front of the red-orange haired composer, a soft smile on his face, "I know you want to talk to him. Come back to the dorms soon. Good night, my princess."

Haruka nodded as Cecil took a hold of her hand, lifting it up to his lips before placing a gentle and sweet kiss on the back of the hand he took. Haruka turned slightly to look at Cecil as he walked past her and a smile graced her lips as she watched the dark skinned idol walk back in the direction of the dorms. Haruka looked back towards Shion who was now sitting on a stump of a tree. Haruka walked over to him before sitting in the grass beside the stump, whispering as she looked into the night sky that was full of beautiful and bright stars, "Do you understand now Amakusa-san?"

"Hai..." Haruka tilted her head slightly to look at Shion who had a small smile on his face as he stared at the night sky with his gorgeous purple eyes, "I think I do."

Haruka slowly stood up before looking towards Shion, "Let's go back. You need to rest up for tomor-"

Before she could finish her sentence, she was pulled down slightly and Shion wrapped his arms around her waist as he buried his face into Haruka's stomach, "I'm so sorry Hoshi-chan.. I'm sorry for not understanding.."

Haruka smiled softly before lifting a hand and placing it on his white curly hair, her eyes widening in surprise at how soft his hair was, "It's okay Amakusa-san."

"Call me Shion.. not Amakusa," Haruka blinked her golden green eyes, startled before letting a smile grace her lips.

"Shion.. let's head back," he let go of her waist before standing up and taking a hold of her hand. Without another word, he tugged on her arm as they walked side by side towards the dorm in comfortable silence, 'I'm glad Shion gets it now. I was worried over nothing. Just like how Yuu-kun predicated.'

~The Next Day~

STARISH, HEAVENS, Yuuma, and Haruka were gathered in the studio as they listened to Shion and Cecil sing their duet project song. STARISH and HEAVENS seemed to be lined up with Haruka between the two groups as she stared at the two idols inside the recording room. Yuuma was leaning the wall near the door with his arms crossed and his head turned towards the recording room.

Haruka had her hands clasped over her chest as she bit on her bottom lip, nervous about the outcome of the song as the recording of the song was halfway done. She let out a breath of relief once the song was done, smiling softly as the two idols bonded in the room before the other members of the respective idol groups as well as Haruka joined them inside the recording room.

Haruka smiled as she observed the idols in the room, before making eye contact with Yuuma who didn't move from his spot from the other room. Yuuma had a small smile on his face as he shot a wink towards Haruka who could only smile back brightly at her blue haired childhood best friend before she walked over to Cecil to congratulate him.

'Dear Grandmother, Shion and Cecil-san's song was like form another world. It was very tranquil and peaceful and they seemed to understand each other through their music.'


OHAYAHOO MY READER-CHAN! Okay, this chapter was actually shorter than I imagined *pout* Only 7k+ words. I was kind of disappointed in how it turned out. There wasn't really a way I could implement moments with HarukaXCecil or HarukaXShion and I was kind of pissed about that. If I implemented a moment with one idol, the other idol will not have the moment to shine. At first I was going to make this chapter solely focus on Haruka comforting Shion but I was like.. "The readers that like seeing Cecil will be disappointed. I might at least try and make a few scenes with Cecil and Haruka." And this was the outcome.

I'm really sorry if it didn't reach you guys' expectation but I will make up for it, I promise. I have already an idea for the next chapter, next chapter will be starring.. *drum roll* KIRYUIN VAN and JINGUJI REN! All of you readers that love these two flirts, scream now because these two will be showing up.. and let's just say.. *smirk* There will be more than a few.. touching and stolen kisses.. that crosses the rule that the idols made in the previous chapter *smirk/blush*

Also, my school is starting soon in two weeks and I'm kind of stressed about that. I might not have enough time to focus on this because I need to study for exams because I didn't take my exams last quarter and I need to take them as soon as school starts. So I might be busy studying but I will try and work this story into my schedule.

Also! September 1 is almost coming! Do you peeps know what that means? ... OTORI EIICHI'S BIRTHDAY! HAPPY ADVANCED BIRTHDAY YOU SADISTIC BASTARD! (JK I love Eiichi so much. I want to see him more I swear! I want to see more HEAVENS basically *cries*)

READ & REVIEW! I appreciate all kinds of feedback! Any kind of review, pm, follow, or favorite is appreciated. I feel very satisfied when someone sends a pm and/or a review, heck even when someone follows or favorites the story I feel content seeing those notifications appear in my email.
