Heyo! I'm back (and sober). I was woken up by my best friend who wanted to rant to me about boys and I can't fall back asleep so I'm just going to write another chapter while pretending to listen to her rant lol I hope you guys enjoy this chapter! ~cuptanm0ex

I'm about to go meet up with her Maki-chan! I'll see you after okay? I love you.

Maki read the text over and over again. She didn't have the heart to respond to Nico's earlier text. Her heart pounded as she sat in her dressing room chair. She looked at herself in the mirror. Her wig was messed up, her mask was crooked. Everything was out of control for Maki. Sighing, she stood up and fixed her wig and readjusted her mask. Taking one last glance at the mirror she walked out of the dressing room and towards the piano room where she will be meeting Nico and Tsubasa's hired pretend manager. Since Tsubasa was an idol she couldn't really be known as Ame Hime's manager or it could affect her idol career. Once Maki was in the piano room she sat at the piano wondering if she would really be able to do this. Maki practiced her voice change many times before hearing footsteps outside of the room. Quickly standing up, Maki waited for the doors to open to reveal the idol she had to write a song with. Her heart was pounding heavily, as if she could pass out any second now. The door swung open slowly and Maki sighed. Entering the room was Maki's pretend manager.

"Yazawa-san is almost here. Are you ready?" he asked the girl

"I wouldn't say ready." Maki replied in her normal voice

Just then another figure popped up behind the manager. She looked as if she was either trembling in fear or jittering of excitement. Maki cleared her throat and walked towards Nico.

"Good evening Yazawa-san. It's a pleasure to meet you." the prodigy said as she stuck her hand out to greet the girl

"Just Nico is fine. I'm a huge fan Ame-san." Nico replied as she shook the other girl's hand

Something didn't feel right when Nico touched the other girl's hand. She felt as if she felt this feeling before, but she simply brushed it off

"It's so nice to hear that coming from a very well known and popular idol." Maki smiled but in her mind she apologized many times.

"Y-yo-ou listen t-to my mu-usic?!" Nico stuttered

"But of course. Your songs are very catchy and I was honored to have been offered to assist you in writing a song with you." the prodigy smiled even though her heart felt as if it could explode

"I'd hate to interrupt a nice greeting but we're going to have to discuss the paper work." the hired manager explained

Both girls just nodded and headed towards the table that was set up in the room.

"Now, Yazawa-san. You fully understand the importance that Ame Hime takes her personal space seriously correct?" he asked the idol

"Of course."

"If you could just sign these papers that state, if you try to or find anything out about Ame Hime's identity without her consent, the contract will be torn, you guys can get started with the song."

Nico nervously took the pen from the man and signed her name at the bottom of the paper. Of course she knew not to try and find out who Ame Hime really was. Her identity is what makes her unique. Nobody except a few limited people know her true identity. Nico hopes one day she could be one of those few. After signing all required paperwork Nico glanced at the other girl in the room. She had already made herself comfortable at the piano. Nervously walking over to the prodigy, Nico stood next to the girl but didn't take a seat.

"You can sit if you'd like Nico-san. We should start by what kind of song you're trying to write."

Nico thanked the girl and took a seat next to the pianist

Oh my god. I'm going to die. I'm sitting next to Ame Hime herself. I can't wait to tell Maki all about this. Nico thought to herself before deciding to responde to the pianist who was smiling at the girl. Something about that smile made Nico feel a familiar feeling.

"What kind of song would you like to compose Ame-san?" Nico questioned

"M-me? It's your song Nico!" the pianist stuttered

"Hmm?" Nico responded as she glanced harder at Ame Hime. Something was off about this woman that Nico couldn't put her finger on.

"Then I'd like to write a love song." Nico smiled

"A love song huh?" Maki asked curiously

Nico nodded excitedly.

"Is there any reason why you'd want to write a love song Nico?" the pianist asked curiously

"No reason at all! I just want to change up my style of music for a little." Nico admitted. Of course she wouldn't just come out and tell the woman that she wanted to write a song for Maki. She didn't even know this woman like that.

"I see. Let'sget started then shall we?" the prodigy replied, almost disappointed

A few hours have passed and both girls were packing their things and getting ready to leave. Maki didn't think that writing a song with Nico would be so easy. She expected the girl to be a hassle as always, but surprisingly everything went smoothe. Maki (as Ame Hime) told Nico to come up with some lyrics while she finishes composing the rest of the song. Then they'll meet back up by the end of the week.

"I'll have my manager call you to let you know what day you could come back in." Maki said

"Got it. Thank you for all the hard work today. I'll see you soon Ame-san." Nico smiled as she shut the door behind her

Sighing, Nico took out her phone and checked her messages. Still no messages from Maki. Nico wondered why Maki hasn't replied all day. She was starting to get worried. The girl quickly rushed to her car and headed straight for Maki's house.

"Come on. Pick up. Pick up." Nico said out loud as she parked her car outside of Maki's large home

"Hello?" The other person on the other end of the line said

"Maki! What the hell?!" Nico screamed

"Ah. Nico-chan. I'm sorry, I just now got off my shift. It was packed at the hospital. Where are you? How did it go with Ame Hime?" Maki asked, trying to avoid Nico's wrath

"Nevermind that for now! Just get home and we'll talk about everything. You really had me worried there Maki-chan." Nico pouted

Maki smiled practically feeling the other girl's pout through the phone.

"I'm sorry Nico-chan. I'll be home right away okay? I'll make up for it." Maki said

"You better! Or else the you'll feel the great Nico's wrath!"

"Yeah yeah." Maki said before she hung up. She looked out of the window on the top floor of the music company.

"I'm sorry Nico-chan. I really am." she said out loud

Maki slowly gathered her things and headed out of the building to meet Nico at her home.
-

"The tv is the other way." Maki said looking at the person next to her

"Nico-chan. How long are you going to be upset with me?" Maki asked

Silence.

"Nico-chan I know you can hear me!" Maki grunted as she faced the older girl who was currently staring at Maki with an angry expression and pouting

"I'll be upset till I'm over it." Nico finally said

"It's just a tv show Nico. You don't have to be such a baby." Maki rolled her eyes

"It was getting a good part and you just changed it out of nowhere and I missed it!" Nico yelled at the girl, sliding further away from the scarlet haired girl.

Maki rolled her eyes again and stood up.

"Why don't you tell me about your day?" Maki suggested and walked into the kitchen and trying to find out what should be for dinner

"It was fine, I guess. When I first met Ame-san I was really nervous, but then she gave off this familar vibe. It was weird." Nico explained as she held a pillow close to her body

"Familiar vibe? What do you mean?"

"I can't really explain it without making it sound gay." Nico said, seriously

"Coming from you." Maki chuckled

"Shut up! You shouldn't be the one to talk either Ms. I'm too scared to kiss Nico sometimes so I'll wait for Nico to kiss me." Nico barked

Maki just waved the other girl away and allowed her to continue.

"Anyways, What I mean is that when I was around her I felt really comfortable. Like I have been around her my whole life, but I only met her today. She gave off this vibe that made me feel at home." Nico explained and looked at Maki, who was only smiling.

"Hmm. Sounds like you had a productive session then?"

"Her manager will call me when she's finished composing the song."

"Is that so? Till then what would you be doing?" Maki asked and walked back into the living room and sat next to the other girl

"Writing lyrics, but enough of that. Maki. I need to ask you something that's been bothering me for quite a while now."

Maki looked at the other girl with a worried and confused expression. She wondered if she did anything wrong. Maki sat there and thought about all the things she could've done wrong, besides the fact that she is Ame Hime herself, but there was no way Nico already found out. Snapping out of her thoughts, Maki allowed the other girl to continue.

"Maki. What am I to you?"

Maki blushed furiously and turned her head away.

Damn. She's too cute...

"Why d-do y-you ask Ni-nico chan?" Maki replied still looking away from the other girl

"Because Cocoa asked me something this morning that made me wonder! Answer me Maki-chan!" Nico forced herself into Maki's lap and held the other girl's face in her hands

Maki, who was still blushing furiously, averted her eyes to the side. Not wanting to directly look at the girl who was now on top of her. She'd never be able to say whats on her mind if she looked at Nico who was already too close to her face as it was.

"Y-you're.. my l-lover.." Maki mumbled softly

"What did you say?" Nico teased

"Jeez Nico-chan! I said you're my lover okay? Don't make me say such embarassing things out loud!" Maki scolded with flushed cheeks

Nico smiled at the girl and pecked her lips.

"I love you Maki-chan."

"I love you too." Maki said before she brought the older girl closer to her body

"Ma-maki-chan.." Nico softly groaned

Maki had placed her lips back onto the other girl's mouth. She didn't know where this feeling of need for Nico came from, but she didn't mind it. Maki gently placed the other girl on the couch, not breaking their kiss. Both girls not wanting the kiss to end just yet. Nico wrapped her arms around Maki's neck while Maki deepened the kiss by asking the girl for entrance using "tongue language". Nico gave her permisson by softly moaning into the kiss and their tongues were soon battling for dominance. The raven haired girl moved her arms and tangled her hands in the scarlet girl's hair. Maki didn't know where this was going to lead, but she knew she wasn't ready. But for some reason her body wouldn't allow her to stop. Maki moved her lips from the girl's mouth and moved them onto Nico's neck. Nico held a tighter grip onto Maki's hair and softly moaned into Maki's ear. Maki didn't know if she should keep going or not. Not knowing if either of them were ready. Suddenly, a phone rang in the distance. Both girls got up and looked away from each other, blushing. They didn't know what just happened but they silently thanked whoever was calling, because if that person didn't call, God knows what could've happened. They were scared for it to happen so soon. Maki walked over to the kitchen counter and picked up her phone.

"This is Nishikino." she answered

"Maki-chaaan! Are you at home right now?" a voice said. It sounded like it was in a very open and empty room

"Yes. I'm at home. Why do you ask?"

"Are you with Nico-chan?"

Maki turned around to look at the girl. She was sitting back onto the couch and holding a pillow close to her. Maki thought she looked too adorable.

"Yes. I'm with her." Maki smiled as she told the other person that

"Can you guys come to the cafe right now then? We have a surprise for you!"

"I don't like surprises Honoka."

"Mou.. Maki. Don't be so mean. Just come okay? We'll see you soon!" Honoka said, before she hung up

"Who was it?" Nico asked

"Honoka. Apparenly she wants us to go to the cafe because they have a surprise for me." Maki said as pinched the bridge of her nose

"Do you want to go?" Nico asked

"It seems I don't have a choice. Would you like to come with?" Maki asked as she held out her hand

Nico smiled as she walked towards the younger girl and accepted her hand.

"Did you really have to ask?"
