Oshi no Shugosha 8 - or 'I refuse to kill this poor Idol, you heartless scum!' (Oshi No Ko, Ryosuke!SI)

"And with that being said... it was a long run, shooting stars. Let's hope to see each other later, as the bestest of friends~!"

Hoshino Ai saw the camera turned off as soon as she said this last line. That was it, the end of her years-long career as an idol. Part of her wanted for this dream born of lies to not end like this, but the young woman recognized that it was no longer a choice in her hands.

She was a young mother, she was no longer dependent on the income made through this part of her life, and she scored a successful movie that won a few nominations at the Japan Academy Film Prize, the biggest kind of achievement in movies in the country.

Ai was unsure of the full monetary winning of that situation, but she was quite sure of one thing: they were loaded, they had enough to seal all ends, and it was time to now push for the biggest moment yet - and that was getting laid once more, this time with someone she had been lusting after for more than just a few months.

Ryosuke was aware and very reluctant, but the kissing happened again. And he definitely loved those.

He was such a lovable target of teasing at times, just as much as he teased back by treating her as a brat. Still kissing is kissing- and her other mouth wanted some action too. Despite her efforts to take some time, let this develop on its own, the woman had realized she was too deep about her affection to just wait for too long.

So, as the day of the final recording came and it was just Ryosuke and her at the studio (the director and his wife took the kids for a lovely visit at the local park), Ai got everything she needed ready and-

"Ai, we talked about it."

"But you love me, and I love you lots!" She whined, hugging her hunky lover with as much affection and clinginess as humanly possible.

"That's not a matter of love," The young man argued, now hers to enjoy as he was done with that silly Uni and had gotten the degree he had aspired for. "It's a matter of ramifications. If we go that far so soon, we-"

"We what?" She boldly asked. "I am already a mommy, I am legally old for this, and I am no longer attached to any commitment as an idol. I think you're just shy because... You're tiny!"

He frowned. Deeply. "I am not."

"Well, how about you show it then~?" Ai prodded cheekily. "I doubt it's that but-Hm~!"

As she felt his hands squeeze at her butt and pull her closer in the embrace, the girl went quiet as her flushed cheeks were now dignified by how close to her lips Ryosuke was.

"Dear, if you think I don't know what is up, then I will give you a fair warning. I know what you want to do, and I am willing to consider it at a single expense."

Gulping nervously, Ai nodded. "T-That is?"

"We have a romantic lunch first."

And thus her heart did a doki doki. Again.

Still, Ai was reasonably suspicious on this surrender. So suspicious that she demanded reasons.

"And why would you like to ask so little? Uh, is this a trick? A plot? Are you trying to put me to sleep with your good cooking?"

Instead of directly answering, Ryosuke pulled her into another kiss. This one with more tongue and far more passion than before.

"Ai-chan, when I mentioned ramifications, I didn't mean external ones- I meant that if we are going to do this we are going to do this right."

His touch, his words, and his promise to make her happy was enough to get her engine revving up in preparation.

After a most wondeful lunch, any sort of expectations that the next few hours were going to be peaceful fell apart- Clothes were scattered through the entire place. No room or place was spared from the hours of intense baby-making (well, except the rooms of the kids, and the director and his wife). She had thought back to her first time and... and it paled before what he was capable of. What she could also do now.

With a body fully developed and one that had gotten back to best shape possible, Ai was actually floored by their combined stamina as they were both relentless to one another while at it. It was like she was being shown how to do sex once more, and she could act upon this with close to no issue on her part.

Hours and hours went away as her body was explored while she herself got a eyeful and more from her partner's own frame. By the end of this event, Ai was tired yet clean. They had the time to bathe- twice, because the first time resumed the 'flame' and got them consumed into more lovely pounding. As she rested on her bed with just a loose white shirt, Ai felt at peace.

Ryosuke was busy cleaning the rest of the place considering they were quite messy in the lengthy deed, but to her it didn't matter. It was the best 'first time' she ever had- then again, her first 'first time' was actually the one that pretty much had rather unsure how real intimacy and emotions were. Right in that moment, Ai knew that it was very real and very filling~.

Sighing to herself, Ai closed her eyes for just a moment and then she started to fall asleep. She had a lengthy day, and she needed a bit of a break from all that 'physical exercise'. But as she was on the brink of pure unconsciousness, her eyes snapped open as she heard her phone buzzing from her bedside.

A call from an unknown user. She braced for that to be him, ready to tell him off but-

"Hello Ai."

The voice was feminine, young. Familiar. She remembered something from when she was a child- back when she was still with her mother.

"...Who are you?"

"A friend, I think. I believe you remember my words of back then."

Love is a Lie, and you will be a wonderful liar.

"I do. But... I think you lied to me."

"Ai, you are smarter than this. You know I would never lie."

"I think you did."

"He is a liar, just like everyone else is."

She leaned back, angry tears fought back at the mere idea Ryosuke could be dishonest but... that's not the full truth. He was secretive, yes, but she was also a 'liar' for not telling of her past. Of how she came to be, just like he didn't do the same with her.

Everyone had boundaries. No one could be fully honest, or no one would ever be able to enjoy the beauty of truth.

"We all lie, it's part of living a good life," She muttered quietly. "However, he didn't speak to me when he loved me. His gestures were... above that."

"...Is that so?"

"Have you ever loved?"

"I have not," The entity admitted. "But how different can it be from words?"

Ai snorted, "I am afraid I can't tell. I will just tell you this, from the bottom of my heart... I am done with that life. No more masks, I just... want to be happy for once."

The caller went quiet and then... a loud sigh came through.

"One last test then. I hope you can make it through, Ai."

Despite the eerie 'demand', Ai smiled. One last time, to prove herself and her past that truth can be conquered against lies.


AN

I think there will be two more chapters and this tiny story will be wrapped up. I thought about doing a longer one but... I feel like most of the goals have been reached. Once Ai's former lover is taken care of, the troubles will end and an happy ending is the only viable option.

Still, once the story is over, I will probably release it independently both on FFN and QQ as a complete work.
