Her Quartet Night
Chapter 11: Marriage
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Nami gets up suddenly and literally hits her head on the wall and felt it. She started to rub on the little bump afterwards and opened her eyes and see's Quartet Night all in front of her face. She literally slapped all of them for being so close to her like that. Aine walked into the room and just facepalm himself.
"What the heck was that for?!" Ranmaru yelled out.
"I can't believe she slapped me?" Ai questioned."
"You fool?! Waking up like that and just slapping us out of nowhere is disrespectful!" Camus says.
"You are so rude, Nami!" Reiji started to whine.
Nami started to blink and looked at all of them.
"Wait...Who's room is this?"
Aine got in between Quartet Night and sort of pinched Reiji's cheek while at it.
"You actually got your own room but you took forever to get up, you were supposed to wake up at 6am and it's now 8am."
Nami rubbed her head some more and then shook her head.
"But I thought, I was sleeping in one of your rooms."
Reiji raised an eyebrow.
"Uh….we asked you to pick, but then you ran off with a wine bottle and literally yelled at the worker to give you a room for yourself because you didn't want to share a room with any of us. Do you not remember anything?"
Nami was even more confused. She can remember that Reiji and the rest of them asked her
and then all the things that she was seeing was just a dream. Nami's face went red and Quartet Night stared at her. She covered her mouth and tried not to say anything. She just realized how she was dreaming and she actually dreamed that she actually had a relationship going on with one of them. She goes inside the covers and they all looked at each other.
"Is something the matter, Nami?" Reiji asked her but Nami just shakes her head. Ai tilted his head and then removed the covers off her and felt her head.
"She seems to be embarrassed about something."
Nami immediately got up and started shaking Ai.
"Shut up! You don't know anything!"
Ai glared at her and then shook her back.
"Well, you are definitely acting as if something really embarrassing happened."
Nami stayed quiet and Reiji goes up close to her and feels her head himself. Nami stared into his eyes and that caught Reiji off guard. He sure was liking it a little bit but at the same time he thought that he shouldn't pull a joke at the moment. Aine sighed in the back and then grabs a hold of Nami.
"Come on, little sister. It's time for them to rehearse your song and get ready soon for that wedding reception later." Aine literally kicked her butt into the bathroom and closed the door behind him. Aine looked at Quartet Night this time.
"I think I taught you guys enough for the morning, do you all have any question on how everything goes, or is everything okay?"
Quartet Night looked at each other and then all nodded at the same time. Reiji runs up to Aine and starts hugging him.
"Thank you, Aine! If it weren't for you, we probably be singing solo's or something since sleepy-butt Nami wasn't awake."
Aine crossed his arm and smirks.
"Well, that's why the older brother is always better than the younger sibling."
Nami kicked the door and yelled out.
"I heard that!"
They all started to laugh and then Aine tells everyone to get ready soon.
A few minutes later, Nami stares out the hotel window and watched as people pass by and cars driving to their destination. Nami looked at the notes on the paper that she composed for the performance and suddenly started to think about those dreams she had. She thought they were a reality, but seeing all of that sparked her interest a bit. This song was something that could make her feel like a future might happen with one of them, but she wasn't sure how that would go. She see's a reflection behind her through the window and turned around quickly to a well dressed up man behind her.
"You looking great, Aine."
"Same goes to you, Nami."
Nami started to smile and then she took a deep sigh.
"Something wrong?"
"Hmmm...not exactly."
She turned around and looked at the scenery again from the window. Aine walked by her side and watched with her.
"I read those notes by the way. You never have written a song like that before."
"Do you think it's a bit weird that I did?"
"Hmmm...Not quite."
Aine took the paper from Nami's hand and looked at it some more. The song had a taste of "love" in it, when he knows Nami has never experienced a love life before. It was weird to him that she was able to write a song like this for Quartet Night.
"Are you in love with one of them?"
It took forever for Nami to process that in her head and then she pushed Aine away from her. Her face puffed up and was turning pink and Aine goes closer to her, tapping the top of her head.
"Oh? Does this mean it's a yes?"
"No! O-of course not. How can I be interested in such weird men who are completely annoying."
"Stop lying."
Aine giggled a bit and sat on the chair near by and just looked at Nami.
"You are getting to that stage where marriage is possible for you, Nami. You can't stay single forever and think that your whole life should be only about you. Don't you want a family of your own or like someone you can finally have next to you? Do you ever think about that?"
That was the most serious question Aine ever asked of her. Nami didn't really say anything and sort of ignored it.
"Well, look at you Aine. You aren't even married and your the older one."
"So? I'm just not ready for one."
"That goes the same for me."
Aine started tapping on the chair and roll his eyes at that answer. It was so stupid to him that he knows exactly what Nami should be thinking right now.
"I bet that red face of yours from this morning shows you had some cute dreams with them, hmm?"
Nami grabs a pillow and starts to suffocate Aine but Aine literally starts laughing a lot and stops her.
"Okay. I'm kidding. It just seems like you really must have feelings for one of them at least. Since you used to never act like this before."
Nami looked away from him.
"It is true, isn't it?" Aine pats her head this time and then began to hug the heck out of her. Nami was trying so hard to get out of his hold but Aine's grip was pretty strong.
"I love you my little sister, and I want to make sure you are able to be happy."
At that last line, Nami stopped moving around and then looked at Aine, having a confused look on her face.
"You make it sound like you are going to die or something."
"What? A big brother can't say that? I'm honestly telling you, that it would be best to see my sister walk down in a beautiful dress and being able to marry the one she loves."
Aine let go of her and then pushed her lightly and walking to the door.
"Alrighty, I'll see you guys at the reception hall, I got some duties to take care of. Oh and one more thing..."
Nami tilted her head and wondered what else Aine was going to mention.
"I already gave a practice for your boys. They got it down quickly."
"Eh? That fast."
Aine rolled his eyes and leaned on the wall, putting his hands in his pockets.
"Who was the one who didn't wake up early enough to teach them, stupid."
Nami lightly hits her head and Aine just smiled and waved his hand goodbye and leaves. Nami gave out a sigh and then looked back out the window.
"I hope it's a full moon tonight."
It finally became night time and there was a lot of people at the reception. Quartet Night and Nami arrived shortly after and went into one of the rooms to prepare. Reiji and Ai were busy practicing their vocals while Ranmaru and Camus were practicing one more time with their dance. Nami who was dressed up in all white and looking around for small props for the guy to wear. They all completely wore white tuxedo and had the wedding's theme colored rose on their pockets. Their tuxedo's were made specifically from what they wanted their designs(hint hint "Marriage outfit they had on their CD cover lol) to be and Nami went to all four of them putting a ring on their left finger. This was only part of the stage performance from what she thought of and she had put one on herself since she will be playing the piano during the performance. Reiji poked Nami in the head.
"You are not cosplaying tonight?"
"Not this time, plus it is a friends wedding, I don't really need to."
Reiji just smiles and pats Nami on the head and headed toward the other members. Nami looks at the four of them and watches what they will do.
"We are Quartet Night and we will put the best marriage performance that no one has seen before, with the help of our queen."
Nami through a make up brush at his face to stop joking around and then stood up to join them.
They all put a hand out and then she started to say her words.
"You all only had a few hours to practice this but I believe in you guys that you will do a god job. Let's make this wedding the best ever for the bride and groom and for the rest of the audience who is watching"
"YES!"
They all raised their hands and yelled together.
"QUARTET NIGHT!"
By the time it was time for their performance, Nami looked around the area and noticed how the reception hall looked. You were able to see the night sky through the ceiling windows, everything mostly had white petals everywhere and a certain peach colored feel to it. She realized how beautiful the night sky was, with the stars shining for them and see's a full moon. She put her hands to her chest and nods to herself that she will do great with the rest of them. Ai put a hand to her back and the others met up with her and they all smiled at each other.
"Let's do this." Nami tells them.
Nami walks out first, with the bright light shining on her, she walked over to the grand piano and sat down. She put the mic near her and started to speak.
"Everyone who is gathered here tonight, shall have a spectacular performance, from us. To the bride and groom, we would love to have your full attention to us for this special performance just for you. Are you ready?"
Her friend looked like she was in tears before she could even anwer and Nami started to laugh a bit.
"This song is for you!"
Nami started to play the piano and the back up band started to join her. The crowd all started to stand up and the bride was so shocked. The crowd was even more shocked to see Quartet Night on stage.
Under the starlight, let's find our love.
Super lovers, you and I, oh baby!
The crowd already started screaming and Nami started to wink at the many fans that were surrounding them.
Camus:kisetsu goto ni kaori takaku
Every season the scent is stronger
Why does it seem like time always flies by?
Ranmaru:Kiss no imi mo fukaku naru
The meaning of the kiss becomes more profound
But when I'm with you, I'm burnin' inside.
Reiji: akitarizu sasayaita ai no kooru
It's tiring so a love call whisper will be sufficient
I do not ever wanna leave your side.
Ai: tsuredasu yo kyuukutsu na riaru kara
Taken out from the cramped reality
Nami noticed Aine at the back of the place and enjoying the feel of the music. Nami remembered what he said about this song being totally different from what she would write. This song was purely about love and she did realized she never had something like this and wondered how she was able to write a song like this. She watched as the crowd were in tears watching Quartet Night singing this song and each member was able to sing. This wasn't even their big event and everyone was shocked over this.
sugu ni aeru kyori ni ite mo
Even from a distance I could see it immediately
omoi wa itsumo tsunotte
My thoughts always become stronger
tomedonaku Ah... michiteku
Without stopping Ah... I've matured
As Nami continued to play, she suddenly started to remember the dreams she had. She tried not to think of it but then was caught off guard when the everyone around the room started to clap and sing along to the song and this made her heart beat fast. The bride and groom even joined with the crowd with tears in their eyes.
koyoi mo futari saikou no mariaaju
Tonight will be the best marriage of two people
mikazuki wo hora isu gawari ni hashagou ka
Look, a new moon is shining down on us
korekara no mirai soshite yume
From now on, our future and dreams
Everyone was cheering for each one of the members and screaming out their names. Reiji, Ai, Camus and Ranmaru were dancing perfectly to the rhythm. Aine started clapping with the crowd as well.
Ranmaru: kataritsukusenai monogatari wo
Will be a neverending story
nidoto wa konai kyou wo dakishimete
Glowing under the starry sky
Ai: futari no uta wo
The song of two people
Reiji: koi no gurasu ni yukkuri sosoi de
Slowly filling the glass of love
Camus: kamisama mo netamasete
Even God will be jealous of
Our dream~~~
The dreams started to flash in her head for each one of them who started to sing their part of the song. This made Nami's heart feel really nervous and she almost messed up playing on the piano but she continued to play. Aine seem to notice her close mistake and decided to come a little closer to make she was doing alright. Nami was started to remember a lot about the dream she had with them.
Camus: sepia iro ni kusumu keshiki
The scenery was a dull sepia colour
Nami remember the time she had that moment with Camus.
"I want to take you to my hometown one day. I want to show you the person that I really am back at home."
Nami's heart skipped a beat and then Camus got up slowly, and cupped his hand on her cheek and brought his face closer to hers.
"I'll confess you're the most beautiful woman I've ever met, and would like to take this chance to show you another world."
The world in my eyes, everything was gray.
Ranmaru: taikutsu sugita nichijou ni
Every single day was boring
Nami started to remember something with Ranmaru right afterwards.
"It would actually be nice to be around someone once in awhile, away from work that is."
Nami couldn't really say anything at the moment and she hears Ranmaru sighing.
"Before, I hated to be alone but knowing you guys and you being here around us, makes all my motivation strong. I'm actually really glad that I was able to meet you all in my life. I would probably give up on everything."
Those words hit her in the heart and then she turned around and put her hand on his waist. That action surprised Ranmaru.
"I'm glad you are noticing that, Ranmaru. That brings a smile to my face."
Nothing was special,just the same dull days.
Reiji: kimi dake wa mayowazu ni michibiku
Only you can guide me when I'm lost
She started to remember the most embarrassing part of the dream with Reiji.
Nami got off him quickly and he started chasing her around the room.
"No! I am not going to lose my-"
Nami paused at her words and Reiji dropped to the floor laughing really hard.
"SO…...I FOUND OUT SOMETHING MORE INTERESTING! Come here~~~"
I need you with me. I need you to stay.
Ai: tenshi yori junsui na magokoro de
Your sincerity is purer than that of an angel
Then she started to giggle at the moment she had with Ai in the dream
Nami started to laugh loudly and Ai started to give out a pout face. He didn't think it was that funny that he was doing all those research like crazy.
"You are a stupid, human."
He lay her down slowly on the bed and towered over her once more, undoing the robe just a tiny bit, placing little kisses on her cheek. He comes to her ear and whispers…
"My promise to you...is to always stay by your side forever. I'll make sure of it."
The Quartet Night guys continued to sing their parts and Nami couldn't help but imagine being with one of them again. It was so weird to think about it at the moment but she couldn't help it. She found herself to be pretty happy about how things turned out in the dream, knowing the fact it wasn't exactly true. It just felt completely warm to be with each one of them. Maybe Aine was right about what he said. Nami was already going to get a bit older and she was a woman who should be one of those lucky women to be married to someone she loves She looked at all of them. Who would she choose if it were possible? Who would she have a happy ending with if they were able to date away from their careers and start a family together, well not sure how it will work with Ai when she thought about it.
nani wo omou? nani ga dekiru?
What do you think? Can you do it?
kizukeba takanaru haato biito
I noticed your throbbing heart beat
hanashitakunai... hanasanai
I don't want to leave you... don't let me go
Those words that they sang towards everyone felt like it was to her. She was the one who made the song but the words they had added to it hit her in the heart. She started to imagine them singing the song only just to her and she almost lost her spot while she played. Aine tilted his head and noticed that second mistake.
chikai wo mune ni towa no mariaaju
Vows from our hearts will make an eternal marriage
irodori kawaru sekai de fuhen no LOVE wo
The world's changing colours create everlasting love
hibikasete unmei no kyaroru
Fate's carol can be heard from far away
Quartet Night walked over to the bride and groom and brought them to the center of the floor and started to sing to them, making the couple dance together between them
Ranmaru: kimochi no mama ni hanatsu mama ni
It feels as if we are now free
nidoto wa konai kyou wo dakishimete
I will never again hug anyone like I did today
Ai: egakasete Dearest
I'll draw it for my dearest
Reiji: yume mo ai sae mo kimi no zenbu
All of your dreams and all of your love
Camus: tomoni wakachiaitai
I want you to share them with me
Our wish~~~~
(Marriage – QUARTET NIGHT)
As the song came to a close, everyone still stood up and started to cheer and clap their hands and the bride and groom kissed passionately in front of everyone. Quartet Night and Nami bowed their heads for such a great audience and the bride hugged Nami really tightly. Aine walked out to the center and was also hugged since it was both of their friends. Once the party calmed down, everyone was on the dance floor, enjoying their time while Quartet Night was together eating at a table. Aine was already had eaten and was busy catching up with the bride and groom about their lives. Nami was supposed to be there but she had to rest from the performance. Ranmaru and Camus were at each others heads over who ate something out of their plate and Reiji and Ai tried to calm them both down with certain meat and sweets so they would stop and not make a scene. The party to get a bit upbeat this time and Reiji stood up and grabbing Nami's hand. It started to play some certain dance music and the crowd was all on the dance floor.
"Whoa! Wait!"
Reiji grabbed a hold of the others to stand up and they all headed to the dance floor.
"Why do I have to go up? I wasn't done eating" Nami yelled out but then Reiji started to shake his butt at her and Nami and Ai gave the most confused look.
"COME ON! WE NEED OUR FUN TOO! Dance with me guys"
Ranmaru pushed Reiji lightly.
"That is not how you dance Reiji."
Ranmaru started to put some moves in and the crowd was going wild. Reiji smirked at that but then Camus put a hand out to stop Reiji from competing with Ranmaru.
"Let me handle this guy, I'll show him who is a better dancer."
Camus all of sudden started to dance somewhat off a bit and being all over the floor, and showing his elegant dance skills but Ranmaru sticked his tongue out and continued to compete with him. Reiji started waving his hands in the air and suddenly some women already went up to him and Reiji started to dance a bit with them. Nami got a bit jealous over that but then Ai just stood there.
"Am I supposed to dance along? I love the beat but I'm not sure if I should do anything."
Nami giggled a bit and grabbed Ai by his hand.
"Follow my moves thing and I will show you a good time."
Ai held hands with her and they started to dance together. Everyone's bodies were literally up on each other. Reiji was literally getting all the girls and Ranmaru and Camus were now in sync while they danced. Some girls were getting towards them and Ai was stuck with Nami. There was were some girls that wanted to be with Ai but Nami kept him to herself because knowing that he was the youngest she literally didn't want anyone to touch him. She kept him really close. Ai and Nami got a glance of someone on the stage who was mixing music this time and they were surprised.
"What the...Aine?"
"There goes Aine being the big talent guy again."
Nami looked at Ai with those words.
Aine was wearing headphones and started mixing his own tunes on the DJ system. All the girls were literally onto him but he was giving the crowd a best show of his DJ skills and everyone did not stop dancing. Nami and Ai started to smile and just enjoyed the time there and Ai continued to hold Nami's hands in his. Ranmaru got a glimpsed of Ai being really close to Nami. Camus raised an eyebrow at what was going on between them. Ai's body was so close to Nami's body from behind and he was literally getting into the beat while dancing with Nami.
"Whoa! Ai….haha...I wasn't expecting some sort of sexy movement from you like that"
Ai started to smirk and went closer to Nami's face.
"I learned quickly. So becareful."
He held Nami a bit tighter and they were literally getting it on while dancing. This had caught Reiji's attention right away and then at that moment when the beat dropped. He notice Ai getting a close hold of Nami a bit more and kissed her on the spot. It was not a normal kiss, it looked more passionate. Nami pushed Ai away a bit but her hands were still holding Ai's.
"Ai…."
Ai looked away and then Reiji walked up to them.
"Ai let's take a walk."
Reiji grabbed a hold of Ai's wrist and they left the dance floor.
Ranmaru and Camus went over to Nami and Nami was already worrried. This was not a dream, and this was real. Reiji was the first one to kiss her and then at that moment without even thinking, and she didnt know Ai's attention, but he kissed her as well. Nami felt her head this time and started to lightly panick and told herself.
"OH FUCK! What did I just do?"
She knew it wasn't just her fault but she didn't know why Ai all of a sudden just did that. Could it be just his break down towards his system or something else. She was scared of what Reiji was going to do to Ai. She looked around if anyone saw what just happened and hoped there was no camera man around to see that.
"Nami we need to get you our of here for now." Ranmaru looked around quickly
"Fun time is over. We are hoping no one saw that." Camus got a hold of her as well and looked around.
Camus and Ranmaru quickly pulled Nami out of the dancefloor and left the place. Aine noticed what was going on and had to finish up the last bit of the song.
Being away from the crowd, someone had snuck a picture of Ai kissing Nami at the spot and started to write something down.
"As the rules apply, there should not be any romance connection between a composer and the groups idol, Mr. Mikaze and Ms. Kisaragi had been caught. They are going against contracts rules. "
End of chapter 11.
