DISCAIMER: This story is loosely based off of the App MY forged Weddying also the characters of Shugo Chara! do not belong to me.
If you chose Tadase…
I looked between the four young men looking back at me. They were all so nice looking and seemed eager to help me, but each seemed to have a reason behind that as well. The one who looked like my safest choice was Tadase. He looked harmless and earnest in helping me. Ikuto looked like he wanted to torment me, Nagihiko was giving me a flirtatious look, and Kukai looked like he was hyper. I was too tired to deal with Kukai's positive energy, so Tadase was the safe choice.
"Um, Hotori-kun, would you be my guide today?" I asked politely.
"It'd be my pleasure, Hinamori-san!" He smiled at me.
"You chose him?" Ikuto scoffed. "You won't have any fun!"
"And you're saying with you, I will?" I cocked an eye brow at him.
"I guarantee it!" He smirked.
"You better not bore her, Tadase." Nagihiko warned him. "Ikuto back off, he needs some practice."
"True.." Ikuto groaned and reluctantly agreed.
"Well, see you later Hinamori!" Kukai said putting his arm around both Ikuto and Nagihiko.
"Don't mind them!" He laughed. "These two are just jealous they didn't get chosen by you!"
"Thanks, Souma-kun!"
"Shall we start the tour?" Tadase asked seeing me come back to him.
"Yeah, where shall we go first?"
"We can start end to beginning if you like."
"Uhm..it doesn't matter."
"Well, I'll just walk you around and you can just ask me questions as we go along."
"Then you're just going to act as my escort?"
"Yeah, that way I don't bore you." He smiled earnestly at me.
"Bore me?"
"Yeah. I always do that to people." He looked away and watched some students pass us by. "So just ask me what you want to know and I'll tell you."
"Hotori-kun, you won't bore me."
"I rather not risk it." He gestured to the main building.
"What's in here?"
"The main general classes for those who aren't really focusing on one class."
"So that means?"
"These are the classes that give you the overview and bits of each subject."
He held the door open for me and we walked inside the lobby.
"Anything important in here?"
"The locker room is there, that bathroom is shared, and that's the make out spot for couples." He pointed to each spot subtly.
"Ah, I see."
Choice A: "You should lighten up a little."
Choice B: "You're being boring by not saying much, ya know?"
Choice C: Let him have his way.
Choice A Outcome:
It was kind of cute the way he was trying to reserve himself. Actually he standing quite stiffly and looked like he wanted to say way more about this place, but afraid to to do so. Tadase did have a girlish face, but kind red eyes and a nice smile. He was maybe three or four inches taller than me, but didn't seem to notice when he looked down at me.
"You should lighten up a little." I say as we pass through the double doors into a long hallway.
He looked at me, then at the ground, and back at me, "Yeah, I guess I should."
Tadase relaxed his posture and looked at me for approval.
I linked arms with him, "Yes, that's better. So what's your major here?"
"Astronomy, but I go to the general classes here."
"Why?"
"I'm studying to be an international educator." He looked so happy to tell someone his dream.
"That sounds like a lot of hard work."
"You're telling me!" Tadase laughed. "I have to learn so many different languages…"
He cringed at the statement.
"What languages do you know?"
"The easy ones: Japanese, english, chinese, Bulgarian, tagalog, Chosŏnmal, spanish, danish, german, and I'm currently learning Danish."
"Wow…I can barely learn Spanish.." I say. "I only know Japanese and English. A little Tagalog."
"Just a little?"
"A few relatives live in the Philippines and come to visit us sometimes." I smile at him. "They teach me when they come over."
"That sounds so cool!" He seemed so interested in the topic. "OH!"
"What?"
"We should be focusing on the tour, shouldn't we?"
"Yeah, right!" I laughed at his expression. "We can talk more about it later, if you want.."
"I'd like that very much." Tadase's smile was so gentle I couldn't say anything else.
Choice B Outcome:
I hated to see the guy so reserved, but it was a bit irritating that he was being so quiet. I didn't know how to handle quiet people.
"You're being boring by not saying much, ya know?" I said a little too coldly.
"I'm sorry." Tadase bowed his head and tried to talk more. "Well, there isn't much to be concerned with here except the bathroom."
"I know, it's shared."
"Yeah, so just be prepared to see things you didn't want to see."
"I'm sure I'll be fine."
"Well, let's continue to the hallway." He held out the door for me. "After you."
"Thank you." I smiled politely at him and waited for him to point out the classrooms.
"These are the general classes for people who are just wanting to learn the finer basics of the subjects instead of focusing on one subject."
"I see."
"Yeah, as you can see the classrooms are really high tech."
"Well, that's a good thing right?"
"Yeah! The school keeps these things in perfect condition and charges people if they break or mess up anything."
"…" Now that seems reasonable, but kinda harsh.
"So be careful ok, Hinamori-san?"
"Thanks for the warning." I say gratefully.
"What courses do you plan to take?"
"As many courses as I can handle."
"What do you want to be?"
I was stumped. I didn't know what I wanted to be.
"I'm not sure yet, but I know I want to be more than a simple housewife."
"I see."
"What about you?"
"I want to be an international educator." He smiled wider. "Those are in great need today and will prove to useful."
"That must be a lot of work.."
"It is, but in the end it'll be worth it." His determined face kind of inspired me to work harder on my own goal.
"I wish you the best of luck."
"Thanks, Hinamori-san!"
"You're welcome, Hotori-kun."
"We should get back to the tour.."
"We can't talk more about it later, maybe I can help you." I shrugged my shoulders. "I know a little Tagalog."
"That'd be great!"
Choice C Outcome:
Tadase was such a sweetheart so I decided to let him be and asked him various questions about the lobby. Though he was quiet, he was an expert on everything about the building. Maybe he was here for a long time before I came along.
"I think that's all there is to know about the lobby, Hinamori-san."
"You sure know a lot."
"Thanks, my parents were helping with the blue prints of the building."
"Whoa." I said in astonishment.
"Yeah, so I know every hiding place that there is to know about."
"You're a useful person to know then."
"I suppose so." He smiled. "I'll help you anytime you need it."
"I'll hold you up to that." I giggled.
"Oh, sorry I must be talking too much.." He trailed off.
"No, I like hearing you talk." I said gently. "You know so much."
"Normal people find that annoying." He cocked an eye brow at me.
"Well, I guess I'm not normal." I reply.
He held one of the double doors open for me.
"Shall we continue the tour?" Tadase was so well mannered.
"What do you want to be?" I asked.
"What do I want to be?" Tadase repeated. "Well, it'd be great if I could become an international educator."
"I can see you doing that."
It really wasn't that hard to picture. Tadase seemed to be a good people person and had the skills to memorize everything.
"How many languages do you know?"
"The easy ones: Japanese, english, chinese, Bulgarian, tagalog, Chosŏnmal, spanish, danish, german, and I'm currently learning Danish." He counted them with his hand. "So that makes nine and ten in the progress."
"Wow…I can barely learn Spanish.." I say. "I only know Japanese and English. A little Tagalog."
"Just a little?"
"A few relatives live in the Philippines and come to visit us sometimes." I smile at him. "They teach me when they come over."
"That sounds so cool!" He seemed so interested in the topic. "OH!"
"What?"
"We should be focusing on the tour, shouldn't we?"
"Yeah, right!" I laughed at his expression. "We can talk more about it later, if you want.."
"I'd like that very much." Tadase's smile was so gentle I couldn't say anything else.
Continuation:
We walked out of the main building and made our way to the very heart of the campus. The very middle was made into a beautiful garden that had a sitting area and a fountain. I asked Tadase to point out the various buildings.
The first building he pointed to was red bricked.
"The building right here next to main building on your left is the literature major building for the serious courses focusing on that."
He pointed to the next building, it was blue bricked.
"That's the math major building, good tutors there."
The building next to that was green.
"This is the technology major building. Lots of cool stuff is made there for the students to use."
"That sounds like so much fun!"
"It is, I can take you there sometime."
The next building was purple bricked and had glass at the entry way.
"This is the music major building. This building is always loud, but good for free concerts."
"Do you go there often?"
"No, not really."
"Why?"
"I can't be around this one person too much."
"Why?"
"We always fight."
"Who?"
"Ikuto."
"THAT GUY?"
"Yeah, but he's good at heart."
I puffed out my cheeks.
"If you say so.."
The building next to the music major building was entirely made of steel and had a telescope sticking out of it.
"This is the astronomy building."
The next building was made of brick and metal. There was a dome top that was entirely made of glass.
"This is where the school's athletes work out and also where regular students can work out."
"Anyway, next to that is science building, then law, and the mall."
"What's in the mall?"
"The cafeteria, food mall, grocery, clothes shops, school supplies store, and a book store."
"Store brands or school funded stores?"
"Store brand."
"THIS PLACE IS AWESOME!"
"You sure seem excited." Tadase laughed.
"You laughed.."
"Yeah, is it weird?"
"No, you have a nice laugh."
"Here, I want to show you something." He took my hand and started to lead me to the astronomy building.
"What are we doing here?"
"I'm going to show you a secret place, shh." He led me to the back of the building where no was present and went through a hole in the fence that was obviously marked off limits.
"Hotori-kun?"
"We're almost there."
"Almost where!"
"Follow me and stay quiet." Tadase instructed as a building of wood and metal came into view.
Tadase sneakily walked around the building to the back and pulled away some bushes to reveal a hidden door panel. He pulled it away revealing a passage way. Tadase crawled in first and I followed closely after. It was getting darker in the tunnel and I didn't see any light ahead.
"It's just a little farther, Hinamori-san."
"What is this place?"
"The old planetarium." He informed me. "The astronomy building almost never uses it."
There was a dim light ahead.
"You'll love it, I promise!"
We emerged from the hole that was hidden by boxes and a see through panel. Tadase helped me up and motioned to the ceiling. When I looked up, I gasped instantly as my breath was taken away. The hold room was covered in stars. Even the seats, and since the room was completely dark, you felt like you were walking on thin air.
"You like it?"
"It's amazing.."
"I come here time to time when this is running."
"Why is it running?"
"A glitch in the equipment. It runs at the same times everyday."
"This is amazing.."
"This is my hideout." He smiled a small smile.
"It's one of the best hide outs I've ever seen."
"I'll share it with you then."
"Really?"
"As long as you keep it a secret."
"Thank you."
After ten minutes of silence and stars, the machine stopped running and the room fell to darkness. I felt Tadase take my hand and lead my back through the tunnel, but since it was dark, I couldn't see where I was stepping and tripped forward. When I hi the ground, I was surprised by how soft it felt, well the ground wasn't soft. It was firm, but not as hard as I expected it to be. The lights came on, though very dim, but bright enough to see a few inches in front of you. I looked down and saw Tadase staring up at me. Both our faces turned red immediately.
Choice A: Get up.
Choice B: "Sorry!"
Choice C: Don't do anything.
Choice A Outcome:
I looked into his eyes a little more before I realized that my weight and our position must be very uncomfortable for him. I tried to get up but Tadase grabbed my arm and stopped me.
"H-Hotori-kun?"
He looked like he wanted to do something, He was sitting up now with me on his lap. It was an odd position, but not uncomfortable. Tadase's face was edging toward mine and I didn't know what to do. But then, he stopped and pulled back.
Tadase's easy going expression returned, "Sorry! Let's go?"
We both got up and left the planetarium.
Choice B Outcome:
"Sorry!" I said quickly and tried to get up, but only succeeded in hurting Tadase.
I had accidentally kneed his balls.
"I'm so so sorry!" I squirmed away from him and tried to help him get up.
"No..it's..fine." He groaned. "Quite a hard knee you have there."
"Y-Yeah." My face reddened more.
"I'll be fine," He motioned to the tunnel. "Let's go?"
"Y-Yeah." I followed him out of the planetarium.
Choice C Outcome:
I was stunned. I couldn't move, I mean this isn't my first encounter with guy this close, but the sensation going through my body right now was entirely new. Tadase wasn't moving either, but maybe it was because I was on top of him. On top..OH.
"S-Sorry." I carefully got off of him and sat on my knees.
"It's ok, you just tripped." His smile was comforting.
"Shall we go?"
He didn't reply, but instead kissed my cheek.
After that he just crawled through the tunnel without me.
Continuation:
I walked alone to the gates of the school and waited for my driver to arrive on the curb. So many things happened today that were still running through my mind like a shooting star. I wonder what will happen when we see each other again…
