Disclaimer; I don't own love live!

It's been a week since graduation, Umi had gone back to his house and exchanged numbers with Nico. It had been long for both of them but Nico felt secure next to him. Mrs. Sonoda had suggested for them to go to their beach house for the weekend and Nico gladly accepted. It was now Friday morning and they would meet at midday.

Eli had not been able to communicate with Nico thanks to the fact that his dad kept him busy the entire time -son the yard need to get mown- -son, let's clean the garage- -Eli, I want you to help me paint the house - and so on. It had been impossible for Eli to escape from his dad, and being the responsible obedient son he was, he never refused to do any of it. Friday morning before his dad would wake up, Eli woke up, he got up and quietly went to the bathroom to take a shower. He quietly went to his room and looked at his closet, he wanted to talk to Nico, and he told himself he would do it today. He chose a plain white shirt and jeans with black converse. He fixed his hair the way he knew Nico liked it and smiled to himself as he got ready to go out. He glanced at himself once more making sure he looked okay, he nodded to himself and trying to be as quiet as possible he went downstairs. -son?- he heard oh no...how long did I spend fixing myself? Eli cursed at himself and kept walking quietly, maybe if he didn't respond his dad would think it was Arisa. He tip toe his way to the door , quietly opening it when he heard it again - oh there you are, son I want you to- -dad, sorry but I have something to do today- Eli said cutting his dad off and running out the door. - I was going to say that I wanted him to rest today but, oh well- shrugged it off and walked to the kitchen.

-ah I did it!- Eli said excitedly as he ran out, Nico Yazawa you won't escape from me today. Eli smiked and went up to the station, he took the train that would take him to Nico's house. If there was one thing he hated ,it was the fact that Nico and him lived really far away from each other. He saw his watched and it read 8:09 am. She's probably sleeping now... The next stop is Azabu, please stand behind the doors. Eli heard his stop was coming and immediately got up, he was too excited to see her. The train doors open and he quickly got up. He walked for about 10 mins until he arrived at his destination. -Yazawa- Eli read as he stood in front of the enormous mansion in front of him. It always amazed him how even Nico being as rich as she was she was friends wih him and that despite being rich she was always very sweet and caring, and that's exactly what he liked about her. -Good morning Eli-kun - Eli looked around and found Mr. Yazawa in front of the main gate getting the newspapers. -Good morning Sir- Eli said smiling and bowing politely. The black haired man opened the main gate and let Eli inside. - I assume you're here to see Nico, correct?- Mr. Yazawa said as he sat down and guided Eli to sit as well. - yes...- Eli responded shyly. Mr. Yazawa grinned and got up - let me tell her you're here- he said as he made his way upstairs but before he could take the first step, the one they've been talking about was coming down. Nico was wearing pink pajamas, her hair was a mess, she could barely managed to open her eyes to see where she was going. - Good morning, dear- Nico's father said as the sleepy head nodded. Eli saw how Nico struggled to walk and giggled to himself. The almighty Yazawa Nico in this state was something new to him. cute he thought as he kept looking at her I wouldn't mind seeing her like that every day... -you know someone came to see you- Her dad said as she looked at him in confusion -there- he said signaling to where Eli was sitting - Good day Ms. Yazawa - Eli said joking, Nico was confused, her eyes were barely opened so she just saw a blurry image of a blond. Is this a maid or something? she thought, after a few seconds she recognized the voice and opened her eyes widely, in the couch her best friend was sitting, Eli Ayase. She rubbed her eyes, she thought it may be a dream. - did you sleep well?- Eli said as he got up and walked towards her . Nico was shocked, this feels too real to be a dream... she slowly walked back until she hit herself with the staircase -ouch-she exclaimed as she rubbed her leg yep , this is definately not a dream... she stared at the smiling blond in front of her for a few seconds until she remembered what she was wearing. Her eyes widened and like a flash she turned around and went running towards her room. -women- her dad said as he shook his head. - well, Eli. I've got to go to work, but you're more than welcome to stay- Mr. Yazawa said folding the newspapers in his hands. - thank you sir- Eli responded and bowed. Nico's father nodded and made his way out.

Eli didn't hear noises coming from anywhere. are the kids still in school? He looked around and saw no living soul but his in the room. - you should've told me you were coming- Nico said as she was coming down the stairs . Eli turned and was in awe. She was a wearing a simple but cute pink skirt with a white blouse. - Nico you look very cute...!- Eli said blushing making the latter blush as well. - of course I do!- she replied immediately -...thanks- she mormured. Eli grinned and got close to her - Nico , I came because I...I want to know your answer. - Eli said firmly looking straight in her eyes. - Eli I...- Eli gulped, - Nico I really like you!- he said holding her hands. -I really do...!- Nico was flustered she didn't know how to respond. She looked at Eli and could feel he was being honest, well he wasn't the lying type. He pulled her close to him and slowly decrease the distance between the two of them. -Eli...- Nico said looking straight at the blue eyes, -Nico, I really do like you...- Eli got closer and closer making the gap between them smaller by the second, feeling her breath hitting his face, he cupped her face, & caressed her cheeck. Nico closed her eyes and so did him. Slowly getting close to each other this the moment he had been waiting for. He felt his tempature rising, his lips were rosing hers. Just a bit closer and they would *ding ding* Nico quickly opened her eyes and pulled away, Eli opened his eyes too when he no longer felt Nico close to him.

-Ojou-san Sonoda -san is here- the maid announced as she brought the blue haired in the room. -oh...hey Umi...- Nico said shyly trying to hide her embarrassed face. Eli flinched his eyebrow and kept close to Nico. Umi got closer to them and saw the red face both of them had, he didn't pay attention to Eli and went for Nico - Nico-chan, do you feel ok? your face is pretty red- the blue haired said concerned - ah yes... it's just ...it's hot...yeah! it's hot in here, right...?- she said nervously averting eyes. - ahem...- Eli did loudly catching their attention. - oh , I haven't introduced you two- Nico said nervously looking at them, - Umi, this is Eli. He's my best friend- Nico said as she calmed down - your father introduced us at graduation Nico-chan- Eli said smiling making the blue haired flinch. - that's right- Umi nodded. - but just in case you've forgotten, I'm Nico's fiance. Sonoda Umi- The blue haired said glaring at the blond. Eli flinched his eyebrow and glared back. - you two stop- Nico said firmly as she walked away. They both quickly looked at her and followed her - Nico, about today do you still want to go?- Umi said making Eli curious, where's she going? alone with him? no way! - Nico-chan, where are you going?- Eli asked curiously making Nico turn around to see him, - ah ... Umi's family invited me to their beach house. - Nico said shyly . -You can come if you'd like- the blue haired said making both Eli and Nico surprised. - really?- Eli asked stunned - after all, some of my friends are also going- the blue haired said smiling. maybe he's not that bad of a person. Eli thought as he waited for Nico to say something, - Eli, do you want to come?- she asked smiling, - is it really okay?- he asked shyly - yeah- she said nodding - if Umi is okay with it. And also, somehow Rin found out and he invited himself... anyways, Hanayo will come as well.- she said smiling and looking at the blond - then if you're okay with me, I'll gladly accept!- Eli said smiling making Nico chuckle. - Very well then, I don't think we can all fit in my car but- - Umi-kun you know Eli has a driver's license. - Nico said cutting him off - ah is that so? then why doesn't Ayase- san take Rin and the others with him and you come with me Nico- Umi suggested irritating Eli. Nico looked at both of them and sighed, just a moment ago they were being friendly to each other and now they're back to their childish play, is this how all weekend is going to go? to avoid any problems Nico said she would go with Hanayo in another car and that Umi who was taking his friends should go with them, as for Eli he should take Rin with him. And that's the solution she came up and that was the plan they followed. After a few minutes Eli went back to his house to ask for permission and get his stuff ready, he texted Rin letting him know he was going to pick him up and showed up to his house picking not only Rin but also the red haired pianist. Eli didn't know what happened the day of graduation between the red haired and Nico so he like always smiled and greeted both of them. Umi had given Eli the directions to his beach house, and after a two hour drive all of them were in the Sonoda beach house.

- woah the sea, the sea!- Rin said excitedly as he got out of the car - so childish- the red haired said twirling his hair, Eli chuckled and looked around trying to find Nico. Instead a purpled haired woman appeared in front of him - looking for someone handsome?- the latter asked flirting , Eli stared at her for a few seconds before saying something - Yazawa Nico, is she here?- He asked , - oh Umi's fiance, yeah! she's in the house.- the purpled haired said smiling, Umi's fiance... Umi's fiance... ah that really bothers me! - you must be her friends, correct?- the purple haired asked - yeah, oh ! I'm sorry for my rudeness- Eli said remembering he hadn't introduced himself yet - I'm Ayase Eli- Eli said bowing, - no need to be so polite Eli-chi - the purpled haired said catching Eli off guard, Eli-chi...? - I'm Nozomi, Sonoda Nozomi- the purpled haired said - I'm Umi's sister- she smiled, -I see...- Eli responded. - c'mon let me take you guys inside - she said smiling as she started to walk back, - hey you two let's go!- Eli yelled motioning the two to come to the house.

- woah this place is huge!- Rin said as he went inside , he looked around and saw a familiar silhouette - oh Hanayo-chan!- Rin yelled making the purple eyes startled, - Rin-san , right?- she asked shyly, - oh you remembered me!- Rin said excitedly, he noticed the boy standing next to her and flared his nose -hello I'm Eren Toudou, I'm Umi's friend. It's nice to meet you- Eren said smiling and bowing politely. Maki noticed Rin childish behavior and chuckled - Hello Eli-kun- Hanayo said smiling - hi Hanayo-chan- Eli responded, Maki noticed she was looking at him and remembered he hadn't introduced himself yet - Hello I'm Nishikino Maki - the red haired said bowing, - oh you are...!- Hanayo said startled but quickly covered her mouth before anything would slip, Maki looked at her confused - pardon?- he asked, - Hanayo are they here yet...- Nico said entering the room with Umi beside her, as soon as Maki heard her voice he turned around and saw her with Umi by her side. They both stared at each other ignoring the presence of everyone else in that room.
