Again, thanks for review, comment, and faves. I really appreciate it!
Akiba's Café, Afternoon;
Nozomi asked Eli to have some parfait with her since Eli has been thinking too much about Honoka and the others. They just did a big mistake in their student council work, Eli wanted to help yet Nozomi held her back because she think they should learn how to deal with it theirself.
"Are you sure this would be fine?" Eli said.
"Back again? Ericchi shouldn't think about them right now. Think about me— I managed to lose unused weight in short time, thanks to Ericchi's strict diet!" Nozomi said as she fed Eli with the parfait that they order together.
"Well— I know it's already been a while right now, they have a few experience, but still…that problem, they could really get in trouble with the chairwoman…." Eli said,
"Ericchi, think about me now. I'm troubled! Ericchi must priotize me right now…" Nozomi playfully said. Eli sighed,
"What problem do you have?" Eli asked kindly.
"Our previous conversation, we need to continue it. Because I already know what I wanted to know…." Nozomi said.
"Which one?" Eli asked,
"About the µ's and me…. Do you think they think I am their friend?" Nozomi asked.
"Huh? What kind of question is that? Of course they think you are…" Eli replied.
"Are you sure?" Nozomi asked.
"I'm very sure, they really like you on the team…"
"Ericchi…. Let's look back for a bit…." Nozomi said. Eli remained quiet,
"Why µ's formed?" Nozomi asked,
"To save the school?" Eli replied,
"Exactly, what is µ's?" Nozomi asked again.
"School Idol Group?"
"If we graduate, are we going to be still a School Idol?"
"No…"
"Alright, now I'm going to ask you this…."Nozomi fed another parfait to Eli.
"If we graduate, do you think they will still think us as their friend?" Nozomi asked.
"Ah— I know where this is going…." Eli said.
"True, I'm scared of something…." Nozomi said.
"You are scared to leave them behind, just like how you left people when you're still moving around…" Eli said.
"You already guessed it…." Nozomi replied sadly.
"You can't contact anyone on your past?" Eli asked,
"Why should I? They are all fakes…. They are nothing like you…." Nozomi replied. Eli remained quiet,
"When I moved out, they told me, we will still be friend even when we are apart— truth is, they never contact me anymore. They waited me to contact them and when I do so, they used such sweet words about we will be friend forever and everything…. Those are lies… they don't even want to call me back." Nozomi said, her tone is getting a little cold.
"When I found you— I know I'm in love with you, I know I'm obsessed, but… I'm scared that it would be just like the others, a one sided love..." Nozomi said again sadly.
"I kept trying to cause you trouble, so that you will look at me… even though it would be a hate looks, I won't mind, because I know I love you and being your center of attention is enough for me…" Nozomi continued, her eyes getting teary.
"Yet…. Look what we are now…. This is a miracle, Ericchi…. No….. you're a miracle for me… you called me back, you embraced me, you become a reason for me to stay…. You're the one who made me see another miracle—the µ's…." Nozomi continued. Eli still remained quiet to listen to her.
"I enjoyed my days with the µ's, they are all adorable, maybe not all of them are honest like Honoka, or as gentle as Kotori, not as well mannered like Umi, Kind like Maki, Pure like Hanayo, Carefree like Rin, Caring like Niko…. But they all know each other and they formed their own bond with each other…naturally, like what you said…." Nozomi continued again as she sobs.
"But what about me? You're the only person that can see through me… Why do you think I'm included as friend to them? They don't even know if I lied, they don't even know if I hide my true feeling, I'm the one who kept messing up with them so they know I'm exist…." Nozomi said as she wiped her own tears.
"You already know the answer…. I told you before and you just said it a while ago." Eli replied. Nozomi remained quiet; she gets a little confused,
"Friendship formed naturally, they don't need to see through you, they already think you as a friend to them… It's natural, you don't need to think too much…." Eli replied.
"If that is the case then, what about the future? We will graduate, you'll be moving to your new apartment, then we will split our ways— I know you will visit me but—…"
"Visit you? You're joking…" Eli cuts in.
"Ericchi…." Nozomi swear that words slice through her heart. What does she mean by that?
"You're going to live with me, why would I have to visit you?" Eli said. Nozomi giggled again as she wiped her own tears.
"Mmm! Ericchi! You scared me! I thought we will break up or something…" Nozomi said.
"Breaking up? Why would I want to break up with such a sweet girl like you?" Eli gave her a teasing wink.
"Wait, I'm going to live with you?" Nozomi wondered,
"Yes, I found the best apartment for two of us, I already talked to my parents, they said I can rent that one, but I have to wait them to return since if I'm not, Arisa will be alone…"
"Ericchi, I'm going to feel bad for—…"
"The pay? Of course you still have to pay half… It's not too expensive, don't worry… if your parent can't manage it, you can just pay whatever, and I'll pay the rest…. I'm thinking to get a side job too anyway." Eli said.
"Hmm…Ericchi, now I began to think, you might really have a castle back in Russia…"
"I even have a unicorn there…" Eli said jokingly.
"Liar, but either way— that lifted one burden off me. Now I know I'll never lose you…" Nozomi smiled.
"So...what's the other burden?" Eli asked.
"The µ's…. I really like them, I treasure them too… but I'm scared to admit it… I still don't want to have my hopes up…." Nozomi said. Eli laughed in respond,
"It's ironic, you're thinking exactly like my song…" Eli said.
"Your song?" Nozomi paused, then she got reminded by the song that Eli sang at her birthday. One about the broken heart,
"Oh…."
"Then you came up with a song… to counter me…." Eli said,
"That song….." Nozomi blushed,
"Get Closer, Ton—Ton— and Charge Forward!" Eli sang and act like How Nozomi was. Nozomi giggled to it,
"Ericchi! That looks really cute…"
"You are the one who came up with that… why can't you use that power for your own?" Eli asked.
"Just Believe in it! Your Pure Love Lens is right!" Eli sang again.
"Mmm… Ericchi! You sure really know how to cheer me up…" Nozomi smiled to her.
"Anyway, I also know if you're worried to lose µ's after we graduate, but I tell you what? We will never know. Even if your card says something to you, the fate can change at any time, right? So that's why all you need is to charge forward! Just believe in it!" Eli said, Nozomi blushed,
"I learned that from you—and tell you what? If you think it only goes for me, you're wrong because it's also goes the same for you too… You shouldn't worry about it, seriously." Eli said again.
"Sorry… you're right, I'm thinking too much about it."
"Nah, you're just driven by your emotion. I understand that. Betrayal hurts your memory, it fears you, me too was afraid— but I have you now, I have nothing to fear…." Eli said.
"What if I turn off the light? You're still not afraid?" Nozomi asked teasingly.
"Nozomi….." Eli frowned.
"You will hug me right away,yes? Hmmm... the µ's have to see this part of Ericchi too…." Nozomi said.
"I'm not going to hug you if you're the one that made the lights goes off…."
"We will see that later if we got chance!" Nozomi giggled, Eli sighed,
"Anyway, Ericchi, I've been thinking. I still want to make a love song, but maybe I want to include the µ's in it. I know without them, we can't make any song…" Nozomi said.
"Hmm… love song for whom though? Do you think Umi can make it?" Eli asked,
"Well…. If she has someone she likes specially, I'm sure she can…" Nozomi replied.
"We never have any love song in the µ's before, but….hmm…." Eli began to think again.
"You don't think it's possible?" Nozomi asked sadly,
"No-No, It is possible…. It just made me thinking of how to ask that to her…. She seems to be a little too shy to make such things…." Eli said.
"That's true… maybe we should wait for the time to come for her?" Nozomi asked,
"Yes, probably, she needs to have a special someone to be able to make a love song…" Eli said.
"Maybe not really a special someone, I mean… this was just my thought, µ's is special… maybe if we could take one special things from them, combined it to one song, it can turn into a love song?" Nozomi asked as she eats the melting parfait.
"Ah, so you mean like things to describe each other love in one song?"
"Yup, because µ's love each other, right? I think that would be easy for them to make it."
"Hmm… I guess, but we shouldn't bother them with that… they are currently busy with their own business…. Such as student council and diet…." Eli said as she giggled.
"Ericchi is right, I know how it feels to be on diet, its so painful that I have to be very discipline on my works out…" Nozomi fed Eli with the melting parfait.
"Although I like the night work out a lot… I won't mind doing it again and again…" Nozomi continued teasingly, Eli giggled again,
"You just like being touched, but anyway, maybe we should head to Shrine after we finished this parfait…"
"Oh— right…. Hmm, does Ericchi start to like helping out at shrine?"
"Only because you're there…"
The Shrine, Dusk;
After they helped out at shrine—with Eli in the shrine maiden dress, they decided to take a small break before going home. The two sat on the bench under the big tree.
"Hmm….. I can't believe the time feel like running so fast here too…." Eli said.
"Ericchi is too focused on the work…."
"Huh? I'm just doing what I can do…"
"Yup, thanks for the hard work…" Nozomi replied. Eli smiled to her and embraced her lovingly. The wind blows against them, giving them more comfort as they could feel each other warmth.
"Hmm… Ericchi…" Nozomi said.
"What?"
"Do you think they can make it?"
"About what?"
"About everything, now that I won't think about what they feel about me— I feel like thinking about them more…. We are the oldest after all…" Nozomi said. Eli combed Nozomi's hair with her fingers, then she kissed her on her forehead.
"I'm glad you're back to yourself… but I can't answer that because I'm worried too…"
"Hmm…. Then maybe we should make a prayer for them?" Nozomi asked,
"Of course…"
The Shrine, Night Time;
They changed back to their uniform, then making a prayer on the shrine.
The µ's…. now I know I love them. It may be different kind of love from what I have with Ericchi, but still, it's a love, I should give it all or nothing…
It makes me feel stupid, as I realized, every day I spent with them and Ericchi…. it may be abstract, but it's a form of love, it's created naturally….
And now I know too…
That it doesn't have to be the same love… and we don't have to think too much about it….
[Because it happens naturally…]
a voice that she knows.
"Eh? Ericchi?" Nozomi turned around.
"Yes?"
"Did you just read my mind?" Nozomi asked.
"What?" Eli becomes flustered. Nozomi remained quiet.
[What just happen? Did she hear something?]
The same familiar voice again,
What? I can hear it? I can hear her talking on her own mind?
"Ericchi, can you think of something? Like, anything!" Nozomi asked,
"What?"
[What should I think about? Uh… maybe about the previous exam? No..no… hmm… maybe about the dinner, what should I cook for Arisa tonight? Uh…. Maybe I'll just order some ramen…. No…it's bad for dinner… ah I'll just stop by the supermarket to make some salads…]
"Ok, let's go to the supermarket!" Nozomi said.
"Wh-What?" Eli confused.
"You want to make salads, right?
"Y-Yes…." Eli smirked wryly.
[How did she know? Did she just reach some high-tier spiritual level? Oh no, then I really should be careful of what I think, I don't want her to know that I really like her breast and her smell or Ahhh! I just think about that! Did she know about that? Shoot! Now I might sound like a real pervert, more than her.]
Nozomi giggled as she heard that thought.
"Let's just go to the supermarket…." Nozomi said.
Supermarket, Night Time;
They walk together in the vegetable section; Eli picks the ingredients as Nozomi standing next to her with her own grocery bag.
[Hmm…. I wonder if I could use this broccoli, Arisa doesn't really like it but she will still eat anyway. It's very healthy too….]
Nozomi could still hear Eli thought.
This is weird, I can hear her talking on her own mind?
[Urhh…. Whats the other thing now…. Mmm... maybe I shouldn't make too much….]
"You can use some leftover for breakfast…" Nozomi said.
"Oh, yeah… right…." Eli replied.
[Huh? Seriously, she is reading my mind…]
"Are you bothered with that?" Nozomi asked,
"What?"
[What she is talking about now? If she talks about how she read my mind, of course I'm bothered with that…. But I guess I don't mind since its Nozomi anyway… she always know everything.]
"Never mind… let's keep going…" Nozomi said.
[She really did read my mind!]
Nozomi giggled again as she walks along with flustered Eli.
Nozomi's apartment, Night time;
Eli decided to walk Nozomi back to her apartment first before going back home,
"That would be it for today, thanks…" Eli said, she is still carrying her grocery and school bag.
"Thanks too, Ericchi!" Nozomi replied as she smiled sweetly.
[Ahhh! I love your smile so much….]
Eli kissed Nozomi on her lips,
"Ericchi, are you feeling burdened if you have to keep walk me home every night?" Nozomi asked as she released her lips from her.
"It's not a problem…" Eli replied.
[Of course not! I'll pamper you every day, every night, every time! You're mine! I'll do anything to keep you happy!]
Nozomi giggled again,
"Alright then, have a good night!" Nozomi said.
"Good night!" Eli said before she left.
Akiba's café, afternoon;
After a few days, Honoka and friends managed to be back in shape and fixing the problem in student council budget plan. Eli took Nozomi to grab another parfait,
"So… why are you looking so sad earlier?" Eli asked,
"Mmm…. I'm not sad, Ericchi…"
"Then, what is it?"
"I'm feeling happy… I just realized how much work we've done so far… for the µ's, for the school… I didn't feel a single burden as I'm doing it…."
"Maybe that because you're not doing the choreography, or composing, or lyric, you did help on costume but that would be more on Kotori's responsibility…" Eli replied teasingly.
"Ericchi! Don't ruin my happiness like that" Nozomi pouted, Eli giggled and said,
"I know you're having fun. Me too…"
[Especially helping you to practice your dance...]
Nozomi giggled too,
"I wonder why Ericchi still like to pervert over me, Ericchi can touch me anywhere and anytime…"
"Huh, what?
[Where's the beauty in that, watching you move your body along with the music is way better than randomly touch you…]
"Ericchi likes me dancing, right?"
[Of course!]
"It's not only you, you know! I like everyone's dance; they are getting better each day…" Eli replied.
"Hmm? Really? Does Ericchi want to see me dancing and stripping on her lap?" Nozomi said teasingly.
[Yes! I won't mind that even if it's without music….No…. you have to moan good for it.]
"Wh-what? No! Why is that so sudden?" Eli replied.
AH this is so much fun! She is denying it! Did she forget I can read her mind?
Nozomi thought as she giggled to it.
"Really? I'm going to give you good touches all over your body…"
[That's tempting, but I prefer touching you…Wh-what with this topic though? It's Inappropriate!]
"N-Nozomi!" Eli retorted, Nozomi laughed to it.
"Just imagine me and you, you're on the bottom and I'm on top of you— dancing and stripping my clothes…. As you're touching me on my breast, trailing your lips against my bare skin…." Nozomi said teasingly.
[Harashoooooo!]
Eh? Did she just squeal on her mind?
Nozomi thought,
"N-Nozomi! It's inappropriate ok? Let's not talk about that here." Eli said.
"Then— we should take it to somewhere private?" Nozomi said seductively, Eli scratched her head shyly.
"We should finish our parfait first…." Eli replied.
[But….I need to help Arisa to study her test today…]
Nozomi continued to eat the parfait that they bought.
[Hmm…will that be alright to go home late? Maybe I can just do it quick….]
Eli looks calm still as she also eats their parfait.
[Or perhaps I can just tell that, I believe she would understand….]
Nozomi keep staring at her.
[No… I already agreed to it, I'll have to make it true…]
"Ericchi… I'm joking about the lap dance…" Nozomi said.
"Huh? Oh… alright…" Eli replied.
"You should be going home early right? I can help out at shrine alone…"
"Oh, It's alright, I can help you out at Shrine then go home… Arisa must be still at Honoka's place anyway. She has been going there to hang out with Yukiho…" Eli replied.
"If Ericchi says so….."
The Shrine, Dusk;
Eli keep working on the garden as Nozomi sweeps the floor; the two quietly work their own. The condition is a little different right now though, Nozomi don't know how it happen, but just about a few days ago, she began to be able to read someone mind. Maybe that power has its own true purpose?
Either way, Nozomi really appreciate that gift.
[Hmm…what to cook for Arisa tonight, she did say she want mushroom soup, but I don't really know a recipe….]
Nozomi stole a glance on Eli who has been clean up the grass from falling leaves.
[Ah, I also have to pay rent today. Hmm… I wonder if the electricity bill increased this month? I was watching too much dances video lately…]
Nozomi still keep on quiet, so is Eli.
[I'm still concerned about our foe, A-Rise. Although their dance is pretty static, they have such charisma on each member, their song is catchy too. Their fans are huge too….]
[Ah, but the µ's also have characters… it won't be an unfair play, I believe whatever song we use, we still have possibility to win…]
[Speaking of which, I wonder if I already did the laundry? I have to give the Halloween costume back to Kotori…]
[Urgh, I haven't read a single study book today. I have to go read it right away. Exam is coming soon!]
[Argggh! The car! I have to decide which car I want!]
Ericchi's thought is so random….
Nozomi thought as she giggled softly.
[Ah, Bug! How cute, they are shiny! I rarely see this….]
Nozomi turned around, she saw Eli keep working on cleaning but her eyes focusing on the shiny bug on the ground.
[Japan is so beautiful… I'm glad to be here…]
[I'm glad I meet Nozomi too, she is my beloved.]
Ericchi….you're my love too….
[Ah…I wonder if I should talk about our apartment… hehe, I really feel like a husband for her already…]
And I feel like your wife…
[T-That's too much! Even after we graduate, we are still university student! We still depend on our parents— can't be called as fully adult yet….! Also, I'm female! We both are!]
[Hnn…..why it's so hard to think about this, I haven't talked to my parents about my relationship with Nozomi…. I'm afraid they forced me to break up…. I don't want that happen…]
I haven't too, Ericchi….
[Ahhhh! This is complicated! Maybe I shouldn't think about it for now… let's think about something else— Oh! That leaves looks like a bug—WHOA It REALLY IS A BUG! HARASHO!]
Eli looks a little surprised as the leave she was about to take flew away. Nozomi was about to laugh, but the thought that she just heard on Eli's mind, it also made her thinking the same thing. She knows that it used to be on her mind too, but she never try to think further.
Of course, Nozomi would want to ask the card, but she wonder if it is a good idea to do it right now. The beautiful life she is in right now may end soon, it may be bad too if she know the answer— perhaps she would never enjoy things like before?
Either way, she might have to focus on something else right now. She wants to make her current life as beautiful as she could. She always knows, growing up will be hurt and she would never be able to go back to the past, not only because of what may she face— also what she will have to do later.
[Hmm… I wonder if we really could win the Love Live though, it would be nice to have a trophy since that would also mean I don't really have to start from zero in the future….]
[I also got the offer as model from a few people— hmm… right, Nozomi want to learn about film and media, maybe she will need me for her career? I can be her personal model or actress if she wants me to…]
Ericchi already think that far….? That's extreme….
[I should buy chocolate when I walk Nozomi back home… I haven't eaten one in a while…]
That was so random, Ericchi…
"Nozomi, do you want to stop by supermarket again? I want to buy chocolate…" Eli asked.
"I don't mind"
"Harasho! Do you want to buy yakiniku too? It's not too late if we go back now…." Eli said,
"Hmm… do I get a night exercise after?"
[Ah…she is on the mood, me too… but I don't think I have time for that, need to teach Arisa with her study and do chores too.]
"Nope, you're going home… I have something else to do…" Eli replied.
"Ericchi is a spoilsport! Then I'm not getting Yakiniku or I'll gain weight again!" Nozomi pouted.
"That's good then!" Eli replied teasingly.
[I'll give her that tomorrow— can't let her be unhappy like that… maybe with extra meat too? Yes she will love that so much….]
Nozomi just don't know how glad she is to have Eli right now, she already know that Eli loved her so much, even without her newest spiritual power, but this just made her 100% sure about that love. The only thing Nozomi want to do right now is:
"Ericchi!" She jumped to Eli and hugged her tight.
"Eh…? What?" Eli embraced her,
"I want to enjoy every day from now on, with you— with the µ's….. let's just enjoy everything!" Nozomi said cheerfully. Eli only gave a gentle smile to her and strokes her hair lovingly,
[I don't know what to say to you, Nozomi, but I really love it when you're happy like that…. So of course, I will make you enjoy your days no matter what….]
Early morning, School Front yard;
Nozomi walk to the school alongside with Eli. From whole morning, the only thing Nozomi could hear from Eli's mind is about their today's study. Nozomi won't mind with that, she could study without have to look into her book. Though she still wonders; why she just suddenly has that power?
"Aa! Eli-chan! Nozomi-chan!" Honoka yelled from afar before she approached them.
"Honoka, good morning…" Eli said.
"Morning!" Honoka greeted back.
[What did I have to tell them again? Oh right! About the next round of Love Live!] A familiar voice, it's not Eli's voice, but Nozomi knows whose voice is this. It's Honoka….
"We have meeting today after school, we should decide what we are going to make for the next round of Love Live!" Honoka said.
"Oh? What about the interview?" Eli asked.
"The one at Akiba? Well, we will go there first— then go back here again!" Honoka replied.
"Oh, alright then…" Eli replied.
[I should get the Yakiniku while returning then] Nozomi could hear Eli's voice again.
"See you later!" Honoka said before she ran first.
[Is she not getting tired from running around like that? I wonder where she got all that energy…. Hmm… she is an amazing leader after all…] Eli's voice again.
"She is almost like you when it comes to what she want, always very focused…" Nozomi said.
"Am I?" Eli smirked wryly.
[I can't be as reckless as her, I know when to give up…]
"It's not about her spirit; it's about her focus… I know you're way more careful than her…" Nozomi replied.
"Ah…."
The two continued to walk to school quietly…
Classroom, morning;
The study session has started, Nozomi sat behind Eli as she always have been since their first grade. She just thinks looking at her beloved one is always be amusing, especially when the study gets boring.
"So, everyone, we should try to memorize the date of…." The history teacher began his lecture, Nozomi have no interest on listening to it as she already read the lesson with Eli before, though she wanted to try something.
So how do I read someone's mind again? Focus on them or something?
She thought.
Then let's try with our teacher….
Nozomi tried to channel her focus. At first, the words on his mind is vague, but it mostly like he is just reading the book on his hand right now until…
[…..ah…my phone vibrating….is it the doctor? How is my wife?] he thought.
Nozomi waited for a reaction from that.
[….No…I can't accept it right now, I'm still in the middle of session…] he thought again.
Nozomi sighed weakly, she carefully took her tarot card from her bag.
"Tojo-san? Why are you taking out your Tarot card right now?" the teacher asked. Nozomi calmly shuffled her cards. Everyone eyes turned to her,
"I'm just checking on the phone call you just received, Sensei…" she replied. The teacher looks very surprised. He was sure the phone is silence.
"How did you—…..?"
"Ah! This is bad…." Nozomi cuts in, she pulled out an upward The Tower.
"It's a critical condition, sensei…." Nozomi said. The teacher quickly took out his phone and accepts the call. He listened to the doctor for a while and his face turned pale,
"I'll be there soon, doctor!" the teacher said in panic. The class started to be noisy.
"Thank you, Tojo-san…" the teacher said before he ran out from class.
The head of the class knocked her table,
"Please be quiet! It's still study session!" she yelled. The class turned quiet again.
Not long after, a few people began to whisper to each other— it doesn't require a spiritual power to hear it,
"How did Tojo-san know about the phone call?" a student whispered,
"I don't know, she is always be that mysterious…" the other replied.
"She can tell your fortune, I used to ask mine and it's very accurate…" the other replied again.
"Wow, really?"
"Yeah, really, she is good, you know… though maybe a little creepy sometime…"
"Uh…I think she is cute, she is member of the µ's, right?"
"Yeah, right, I never guessed that she would be interested in that…"
"Maybe it because of Ayase-san? She is always clinging to her all the time…"
"Hell, yes, Ayase-san got dragged by those second years, but it's not like I mind. I've been collecting her picture from the idol-shop! She is really cool, don't you think?"
"Speaking of which, we should check out the shop after school, they are aiming to win love live! We must support them!"
"Yup!"
And the conversation stops. They turned away from each other and began to read their own book, or maybe…
[Mmmm! I should buy a lot today! Then take a picture of me with it! Show it to Ayase-san! Maybe we can be best friend?]— Nozomi heard a thought as she focus on one of them. She changed her focus.
[….then I will try to show it to Ayase-san! I wonder if she swings that way? Maybe add a picture of me in bikini too?] — Nozomi smirked in disgust. She quickly turned her focus away,
[…pin, poster, and sticker, yes, that should be good, I wonder if I could ask for her sign on it? But what to say? Hey Ayase-san, I'm your classmates, give me your sign…. No, that's weird…hmm… she is hard to approach…. I guess I'll just stick with sending her letter on her locker…. She actually replied that.]
Nozomi smiled and turned her focus to Eli who still sat quietly in front of her.
[…..what color of Nozomi's panties today…?]
Nozomi couldn't help to not giggle to that thought which came from Eli.
I can't believe you're perverting on me when people are like perverting on you... But I like it that way anyway.
"Ericchi!" Nozomi called her softly. Eli turned around,
"It's black…." She said. Eli's face turned red,
"Wh-What black?" she smirked confusedly.
"What about yours?" Nozomi asked between her giggle,
"It's white….W-Wait! Why are we talking about that now?" Eli replied with her flustered look.
"How did you even know what I'm talking about? Did you think about that?" Nozomi giggled again.
"N-Nozomi!"
The Clubroom, Dusk;
As they finished with the interview, lunch and began to talk about what to make for next Love live round, Nozomi suggested a love song. They agreed to try to make it, though since none of them (except for Eli and Nozomi) have been in relationship before, they couldn't get a picture of how romance supposed to be. Nozomi suggested them to try building a mental picture by trying to imagine if they have to confess their feeling to special someone while she record it.
After they finished with the attempt to build mental picture, they re-watched it at their clubroom. The first video is Honoka,
"Hey-You! I'm going to confess!" Honoka stopped right in front of the camera screen.
"I love you!" Honoka in the video said bravely as she handed the gift box.
Everyone remained quiet as they watch how heroic that sounds like.
"Wow…." They said with almost no enthusiasm.
"Why that sounds like a robbery…." Maki commented.
"I wonder why…ehe-he-he…." Honoka smirked shyly.
"Er…let's go to next video…." Umi said as she clicked next.
It's Kotori, she was crying in the video, her face blushed red then she slowly steps forward,
"I…I'm sorry…. But…." Her tears flow down through her cheek.
"I love you!" she begged.
Everyone clapped their hands.
"Woooow…." They said in awe,
"That's expected from Kotori-chan. You're playing it good…" Nozomi commented. Kotori giggled sweetly in respond.
"Next please…" Eli said.
The next one is Umi, Umi quickly hide on the corner as the video started.
"When the first time I see your eyes, I know that my heart burns like a fire…" Umi on the video started,
"You've struck me down with your love arrow!" she said dramatically,
"So now please take my gift and set me free from your love!" she continued.
Everyone clap their hands again,
"Umi-chan… that's beautiful!" Kotori said as she cried dramatically.
"It's heartwarming poem, Umi-chan…" Hanayo said, she also cried.
"C-can we just go to the next video?" Umi yelled.
"Yup-yup…. I'm going…" Nozomi said as she click next,
The next video is Rin, she stood near the school gate patiently, the camera view approached her closer and as it get close enough, Rin jumped into the center of the view,
"You're finally here, Nya!" She smiled sweetly.
"Here, it's for you, Nya!" She handed the gift.
"I like you, nya!" Rin said shyly.
And the video ended.
"Rin-chan is cute!" Hanayo said.
"It's pretty cute, yeah…" Kotori said.
"Nya…." Rin shyly scratch her head.
"We are going to the next video…" Nozomi said as she clicked next.
Hanayo is the next,
Hanayo ran into the camera view, then stopped at the center, she stood shyly before she quickly said,
"Please take it!" she handed the gift box with eyes closed.
The video ended there.
"Kayochin is cute too!" Rin said cheerfully.
"Yup-yup, it's short but cute!" Kotori said.
"Next video…" Eli said,
The next is Maki, she stood in front of a big tree shyly,
"Here you go" she said in her clear voice.
"Just take it already!" she continued— then Nozomi's hand accepts the gift.
"I-It's not like I'm giving it to just you!" she continued again,
"Don't get the wrong idea, okay?" She said as she turned her sight away from the camera.
The video ended there.
"Wow! It's the second time we see it but it is still perfect!" Hanayo said.
"Huh? Of course, it's me…" Maki said.
"That tsundere role is just totally suits her, Nya!" Rin said.
"Hmph! Click on the next video,Nozomi! My performance must be way more flawless than that!" Niko said.
"Well, your video is corrupted…sorry, Nikochi…" Nozomi said.
"Wh-what?!" Niko retorted.
"You were taking too long, my battery is dead…" Nozomi said.
"Wh-What?! That can't be!" Niko yelled,
"Ah, right, we didn't get a chance to see Eli-chan and Nozomi-chan to perform because of that too…" Kotori said.
"Hmm, yes, that's too bad…" Eli said.
"You're happy, aren't you?" Niko said,
"Hmm... not really, I might can pull off some idea you know…" Eli replied.
"Then, why don't we watch Eli-chan performing it live?" Honoka suggested,
"Ah, right! That's a good idea! Maybe Nozomi-chan can do it too!" Kotori said.
"That's true! You two are really fit on romance for some reason…" Hanayo said.
"I don't mind…" Nozomi said.
"Alright, not a problem…. Come on, Nozomi, let's do this…" Eli said.
They moved to the club's practice room to see them perform.
[Hmm…I wonder what Nozomi want to play as? The one who confess or one who hear my confession…]
"I'm going to confess, Ericchi…" Nozomi said.
"Ah, alright then…" Eli replied.
[Wow, that's really a good start, none of them feels shy about it…] Nozomi could hear a familiar voice, might it be Umi? Nozomi turned around to see her,
[Mmm… I'm always wants to see these two together— I can feel the aura already!] Nozomi could hear another familiar voice, it must be Kotori.
"So, shall we start it?" Eli asked.
"Sure…" Nozomi said as she walks to her position.
"Ready?" Honoka raised her hand,
"Action!" She shouted.
"Ericchi…." Nozomi called her sadly,
"N…Nozomi?" Eli reached her,
"Don't touch me!" Nozomi slap her hands away. Eli's face was telling a pity to her,
"You're such a pain! You know that?! " Nozomi yelled, Eli tried to reach her again, Nozomi steps away from her.
"Every time you smiled at me, every time you touch me, and every time we spent together…. It's all pain!" Nozomi said dramatically.
"Don't you realize that I love you ?! I love you with all of my heart! Yet you never realize it! You just think this is all just a friendly attitude— It's not! I'm doing it so that you know that I want you to be more than a friend to me!" Nozomi continued,
"Nozomi…." Eli called her with a soft smile— then she hugged her.
"D-Don't touch me!" Nozomi struggled weakly.
"It's alright, Nozomi. I've been in love with you too, but I'm afraid you will reject me…. So I keep quiet… I don't want you to go away from me— you're my greatest treasure…." Eli said as she hug her romantically from behind.
"Ericchi…." Nozomi calmed down, she turned around and she hugged Eli back.
"Something like that…" Nozomi and Eli released themselves from each other. The others clap their hands.
"W-waaaaaaaa!" Kotori cried.
"E-Eh? Kotori?" Umi confused.
"It's good!" Kotori said
[It's so good that I wish it was really like that!] Nozomi could hear Kotori's thought.
[It felt so real…are they really like that?] Nozomi could hear another voice coming from them— it's probably be Maki.
"Are you getting the idea, Umi?" Eli asked.
"Not exactly, it's still difficult for me to picture it…. I mean, all of us singing one love song? It's already difficult for me to make a right romance lyric that can fit our style… we can't go all mellow to fight against A-Rise…." Umi replied.
"That's right, it's going to be boring if we force ourselves on mellow romance…" Eli replied. Everyone sighed heavily.
"Hmm…. How do we make a love song that fit our style….." Eli wondered. Everyone remained quiet.
[A love song that fit our style? I wonder about that…] Nozomi could hear Umi's thought.
[Hmm…. Love song…love song….I love strawberry! No-no… that doesn't work like that…] Nozomi could hear Honoka's thought.
[I love rice…it taste so good…nyum-nyum..eh? but that's not a good love song…] Nozomi could hear Hanayo's thought.
[Nya-nya-nya-nya-ring-a-bell-nya-nya-nya-rin love swimming-nya-nya-nya…] Nozomi could hear Rin singing on her head.
[La-la-la-la-la-la….] Nozomi could hear Maki already trying to come up with melody on her head.
[Niko-Niko-love-love-niko-niko! Hmm... it's a catchy tune, but I bet Nozomi will punish me if I say that…] Nozomi could hear Niko's thought.
[I'm hungry…. I want to eat cheesecake…. But I have to come up with an idea for love song first…..hnnn...why is it so hard….] Nozomi could hear Kotori's thought.
[Come on, brain, please come up with an idea! This song is for Nozomi… it has to be perfect!] Nozomi could hear Eli's thought.
"Let's all continue this later… it's getting late…" Nozomi said.
"True…." Umi replied.
"Ah…I'm sorry I can't come up with idea…" Hanayo said.
"Rin too have no idea…"Rin said.
"It's alright, don't push yourself, we still have a lot of time…" Nozomi said.
Nozomi's bedroom, Night time;
They returned to their own place. Nozomi didn't get to help out at Shrine today and Eli seems to be busy on looking for things to help the µ's brainstorming. After taking a bath, having her own dinner and read some books, Nozomi changed to her pajama and sat on her bed, looking at the photo of µ's that she just printed a while ago.
Am I causing a trouble for the µ's?
Nozomi thought.
They seem to be trying so hard to make my request come true…
She said on her mind as she put the photo on the frame and place it back to her rack.
Friends…. That's what friends do for each other….
Nozomi keep staring on the photo.
We are friends, although they never say it— but we are friends! It created naturally!
Nozomi change her sight at her phone,
I wonder if Ericchi still working hard to find things for them… she is the very pushy one this time… poor µ's….
Nozomi keep quiet, until she decided to give a phone call to her lover, it was accepted immediately.
"Ah, Nozomi, I was just about to call you…" Eli said immediately.
"Mmm…Ericchi! You should greet me first!" Nozomi said. She could hear Eli giggled,
"Good Evening, Nozomi…."
"Good evening, Ericchi!" Nozomi replied cheerfully.
"So I found this video, are you with your laptop right now?" Eli asked, Nozomi turned to see her wardrobe.
"Wait, let me get it…" Nozomi said as she walks to her wardrobe, taking out her laptop and set it on her bed.
"Hmm, I'll send you the link through chat…. Maybe we can just chat too?" Eli asked.
"Nope, I want to hear your voice, Ericchi… I'm not going to sleep well without…" Nozomi replied.
"It saves you phone bill…" Eli said.
"Oohh! So Ericchi think about that now too…" Nozomi said teasingly.
"Well— my phone bill breaking the limit last month. Arisa have been calling her friends, so I kind of see how expensive that is now…." Eli said.
"Alright then, let's just use chat…" Nozomi replied. Eli closed the phone.
They moved to chat,
Ericchi ❤ : [ Link ]
Nozomi clicked on the link. She began to listen to a song. The lyric is about love, but the melody is energetic, the dance too is pretty quick. They have four people performance. As she watched through the video, she began to see a few erotic poses. She pouts.
Non-chan: Mm, not bad Ericchi, but I don't think it fits with µ's.
Ericchi ❤ : They are sexy, yeah, some of us might can fit with it but some will looks very off…
Non-chan: I know my Ericchi will fit… ( ' v ') especially with sexy dress...or maybe BDSM style?
Ericchi ❤ : (- _- ) Nozomi…
Non-chan: Any other video? ( ' v ')
Ericchi ❤ : Hmm, yeah [ Link ]
She opened the second video. It's a love song too, but kind of childish… too childish, it feels so cheap if they use it against A-Rise.
Non-chan: Nikocchi will totally fit in this song.. ( ಥ⌣ಥ)
Ericchi ❤ : I bet Umi and Maki will do this though… (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
Non-chan : I know right! ( ಥωಥ)
Ericchi ❤ : The rest of video are just slow love song, they brushed off that idea a while back.
Non-chan: Really? Ericchi don't have any other video?
Ericchi ❤ : If you want to see porn, yes I have.
Non-chan: Oh yes! ( ಠ⌣ಠ)
Ericchi ❤ : [ Link ]
She opened the link, it's not a video, just a picture of Lily Flower. Nozomi giggled,
Non-chan: IT'S NOT A PORN! ERICCHI IS MEAN!ERICCHI FLIP! (╯°□°）╯︵/(.□ . \)
Ericchi ❤ : [ Picture ]
It's a Self Picture of Eli posing and winking seductively, but the picture is flipped. Nozomi laughed, she was then turning on her camera, taking a picture of herself— she posed as if she is going to do her ultimate breast rub. She sends it to her.
Non-chan : [ Picture ]
Ericchi ❤ : Haha, you haven't do that in a while. I miss the sound of your victim screaming for help.
Non-chan: That because the µ's are all mature now ( ' ^ ') I can't punish them for anything.
Ericchi ❤ : You still can do that to me, but I doubt I will scream for help.
Non-chan: Ericchi is a masochist ( ' w ')
Ericchi ❤ : Said one who likes being spanked
Non-chan: But Ericchi's spank is not hurt, it feels so good!
Ericchi ❤ : That's the point of being a masochist, silly! You enjoy pain!
Non-chan: Mmm…Ericchi, talking about this really made me start to imagine it.
Ericchi ❤ : Let me guess, you're really on the mood right now?
Non-chan: ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Ericchi ❤ : Let's do it later, ok? I still have to find more things to help the µ's brainstorming.
Non-chan: щ(ಥДಥщ)
Ericchi ❤ : Alright, alright, We can do it at Sunday night. We should be able to pull off the idea by then.
Non-chan: OK! (~￣ ▽￣)~
Ericchi ❤ : I have to go now, love you!
Non-chan: Love Ericchi too!
And Eli went offline.
A/N : You know what happen at Sunday , its on the ep 8 of season 2...
But anyway, I'm still wondering, should I make the detail of what happen at the Sunday Night? I don't know if my reader enjoy that scene or not. But if you do, I will add it on the next chapter.
