Aikatsu Stars! Melody Start!

Star 3: Gather! Fangirls Unite!

"No way…" I held my hands up to cover my mouth and nose. Feeling the tears starting to form and trying my best to keep them from falling. "It's… Subaru Yuuki from M4."

Subaru Yuuki is one of my favorite characters because… He's voiced by Taku Yashiro! That man is a top-tier voice actor! He played so many roles from animes I like and his voice is my ideal type for a husband! He played Haruhi from B-Project, Vulcan from Fire Force, Kouichi from Horiyama, Daichi from K project, Kakeru from King of Prism, Jude from Seijo no Mary, Tsubasa from Idolmaster Side M, Flame from Yu Gi Oh Vrains, and so many more! And I always fell in love with his characters! Yes, I loved this man and was a die-hard fan!

"Um, are you okay?" I snapped out of my daydreams and saw Subaru handing me a handkerchief. "Here. It looks like you're gonna cry."

Ah, yes! Such a sweet and kind boy, I love him so much~! "Th-Thank you…" I took the handkerchief and wiped my eyes. "S-Sorry, I couldn't control it. I like Subaru-san and meeting you was a dream come true." I spoke, but it was true. I never thought I would meet a 2-D character like Subaru ever. Even more so that he's a made up character.

"Oh, you're a fan?" He asked, smirking. "Is that why you're here? You're looking for me?"

"Eh?!" I blushed and began to tremble with embarrassment. "N-No! I was looking for a friend that ran off on me! I didn't mean to run here on purpose to look for you or anyone else in M4! Honest! She's blonde with pink ombre tips. And her eyes are-!"

"Hey!" Speaking of Yume, she rushed in between us and glared at Subaru. "Don't tease my friend! She hasn't been feeling well and you made her cry!" Well, she's not wrong there. "Hurry up and leave before I call security on you for trespassing!" Wait, Yume! You're wrong!

I forgot that Subaru called her out for not knowing the male division of Four Star in the anime and quickly got in between her and my idol. "Yume! No! It's true that I wasn't feeling good, I did start crying, and he did teased me," That's not helping him, "but I cried because he's my idol and I look up to him. His vocal skills are on par with Hime-senpai's and he's the leader of M4, Four Stars male division idol group. He's top for singing for the boys. Subaru Yuuki is an idol and student here. We're actually the ones trespassing on the boy's section! Not to mention, he's a senpai!"

"Eh?" Yume blinked, paling.

"That's right. Every year there's at least one who doesn't know about the boys division." Subaru leaned on my shoulder and smirked at Yume who was now panicking. "So hurry up and leave or else I'll security on you for trespassing~!" He teased and made her turn really red, but I was steaming. "Haha, you look like a boiled octopus!"

Ah, Yashiro's voice is in my ear! He's laughing! "I-I can't… anymore…" I felt my legs give out on me and dropped to the floor, shocking Yume and Subaru. "Subaru Yuuki's attack was too much on me… Ikemen powers are no joke…"

"Hey! What do you mean by attack?!" Subaru blinked, looking at his hands. "And what do you mean, Ikemen powers?"

"Wah! Nanase-chan!" Yume got down in front of me to check my forehead. "Huh? You have a fever!"

"No way, really?" Subaru blinked and touched my head which only got warmer. "I'll take her to the infirmary. Hurry and inform your teacher. Their number should be saved on your Aikatsu Mobile." He crouched down in front of me and made me jump on by pulling my arm over his shoulder. "Try to hold on."

"Y-Yes!" I squeaked as I gently held on to his shoulders. Once he lifted me up, my head spun and got dizzy, making me lean my head on his back. "Gah…" I closed my eyes and the spinning got worse. "I'm spinning…" I'm an idiot. Why did I close my eyes?!

One hand, I'm feeling like a dizzy clown and the other a very excited fangirl who is being carried by her favorite character in Aikatsu Stars. This is no time to be fangirling, but… He's carrying me! KYA! This is seriously a dream come true! An ikemen knight came to my rescue and now I can die happy~! Ah, this is the same level as Alban wishing me a good day at work! This is a dream come true~!

"Ah, Nanase-chan. Hold on." Yume spoke to me as I felt Subaru starting to walk. "We'll try to hurry. I'm calling Anna-senpai right now." Hearing her gasp, I squeezed my eyes shut with the pain in my head. "Ah, she's getting warmer, Yuuki-senpai!"

"Yeah, I can feel it." HE CAN FEEL THE HEAT OR MY HEARTBEAT?! WHICH?! "I'm going to jog." Subaru spoke and pulled my arms around his neck, shocking me. "Hold on tight."

I could feel his muscles thru our clothes, feel his warmth on my body, hear his breath as he ran, smelling his sweat mixing with his cologne. God, thank you for blessing me with this dream come true. I don't mind it anymore. This world isn't that bad. I take back all the mean things I said about this world. Good bye, my second life~! Thank you~!

After that, I passed out.

"Oh, Baby. You had a rockingly bad fever and slept for five hours." Anna-sensei sighed as she walked me back to the dorms. "It's almost curfew, so go straight to the bath and then bed. Don't push yourself too hard, Baby."

"Yes, Ma'am." I smiled as I walked. After resting and taking some medicine, I found out that Subaru went back to the boy's division after carrying me here and Yume was sent back to her dorm. I'll have to thank both of them another day.

"Here we are." Anna-senpai waved at Tsubasa and nodded for me to go in. "Bye-bee~!"

"Thank you so much." I bowed and let Tsubasa take me inside. "Thank you, Tsubasa-senpai. I haven't even visited my dorm yet."

"Your roommate is also worried about you." Tsubasa smiled. "Let's get you to your room."

"Oh, can you tell me who my roommate is?" I asked and jumped when running came from the staircase we were in front of. "A ghost?!" I exclaimed as I hid behind my senpai.

"No." The oldest chuckled as someone appeared from the top of the stairs. "Saotome-san, please don't run down the halls."

"I'm sorry, Senpai!" A familiar voice made me sneak a peak and gasp at who I saw. Her long vermilion hair was braided to one side and she had her signature hair cat ears on the top. Her yellow bow matched her pajamas and made her look so cozy and warm. However, she had a face of panic. "It's just ten minutes until curfew and my roommate still hasn't shown up. Is she okay? Have you heard from Anna-sensei?"

"Saotome, Ako…?" I mumbled and got both actresses to look at me. "No way."

Saotome Ako was a girl that I totally liked in the series, just not at the beginning. She's so cool and nice, but got cringe when it came to Subaru. She starts out as a cool prodigy-type actress in the first years, but then flips to a crazy fangirl. One thing I did eventually like about her was her relationship with Kanata Kira. She started to notice that she looked up to Subaru, but was actually crushing on Kanata. It was a slow love, but I really did like it. Then Kirara came in and ruined it all in the second season. Oh yeah, she's in my class as well.

"Saotome-san," Tsubasa got both of us to look at her, "this is Hibiki Nanase. She's barely recovering from her fever, so help her get some rest."

"Of course, Senpai!" Ako walked over to me and extended her hand. "Alright, let us go."

Before Ako pulled me upstairs, I waved and thanked our senpai before following Ako. Once we arrived, which was only a couple of doors away from the stairs, I noticed my stuff still packed away next to one of the desks. Yeah, tomorrow, I'll have to unpack. But… What did I bring? I walked over to one of the boxes and was stopped by Ako.

"Ah, I kind of unpacked for you already." She smiled. "I figured you would want to unpack when you had freetime, but when I heard you fainted, I knew you weren't going to be able to. I put away your clothes like mine and I left personal belongings in the boxes on your bed."

So reliable! "Thank you." I smiled at her. Looking at the other boxes on the floor, I only nodded. "So those are empty. I'll take them to the recycling container tomorrow morning."

"Yes, I'll help you." She smiled with pride. "This is my first time sharing a room with someone, so I hope that we can get along."

"Me too." I extended a hand. "Sorry that I wasn't here earlier, but it's nice to meet you~!"

"Likewise." Ako smiled as she took my hand. "Ah, I got the top bunk since I heard you get dizzy a lot."

"Eh?" I blinked. "What do you mean?"

"Ah!" Ako gasped and looked away, blushing. Playing with her fingers as if I caught her stealing something. "Sorry… I read the first few pages of your diary…"

"Diary?" I blinked and looked at my box on my bed. Rushing over, I opened it and saw a white clothed notebook covered in gold accents on top of the pictures, books, etc. While Ako was explaining to me why she looked through it, it fell out of the box and landed on a random page. But I was more concerned about the fact that I had a dairy. I looked and read everything I could. This shocked me.

Unlike, looking back into Hibiki's old memories, this was like I was reading her mind. I figured she was shy and quiet, but honestly, she hates herself. She hates her family and everything in her life. She hates how she grew up with a sickly body and how she had to grow up homeschooled with a nurse by her side. She also didn't like how her brother would always come and try to make her feel better, always jealous that her brother was healthy and she wasn't. I'm guessing that this page was the one that Ako read.

"UM!"

I jumped at the scream and looked over to see Ako with a bunch of Subaru plushies. "Eh? Saotome-chan?" I blinked. What's going on?

"I-I feel it's only right that I share with you my secret!" Ako announced. "I-I didn't join Four Stars to be an idol! I joined this school to meet Subaru Yuuki from M4!"

"... Saotome-chan…" I was speechless. I wanted to laugh, but I held back.

"S-So…" She let out a sigh as her red face started to cool down. "Well… Now you know my secret! We're now even… Hi-Hibiki-san."

"Oh!" I gasped at her calling my name and smiled. "Yeah! Thanks, Ako-chan~!"

"Nya! Don't use -chan!" The girl screamed as she hid her face in the Subaru plushie.

"Actually, I'm also a fan of M4." I told her, making her ears perk up. "Actually, I met Subaru-san today and that's why I fainted. I did run a lot today, but seeing him made me faint. As I thought, I really like male idols more than girl idols."

"Does that mean you're my rival?" Ako growled and made me sweatdrop.

"No, I'm just saying…" I walked over and hugged her and her plushie, "if you want to talk about Subaru Yuuki-senpai, I'm all ears. I might join you, but I like all the boys from M4." I gave her a wink. "I'm not a rival but an ally~!"

Ako looked happy for a second then pouted, looking away. "Well, Subaru-kyun is mine so I don't know how I feel about sharing him!"

"Kyun?" I smiled. "But at least let me admire him~! He carried me on his back~!"

"What?!"

"Do you want details about his cologne?"

"Eh?! You know?!"

"Oh, yes~! It was mixed with his sweat~!"

"You crazy person~!"

"Am I~?"

We both squealed. Once I was dressed for sleep, we sat on my bed and talked about M4 and Subaru. Honestly, it was like I was with my old friends from Tokyo. I take back what I said about Ako being cringe. She's a die hard fan just like me. Although…

I looked at my diary as Ako fell asleep next to me on my bed, holding her Subaru plush. Turning to one page, I let out a sigh. "You came to this school for that reason… Well, I gotta respect it. I did the same."

The page read: "I'm applying to Four Star Academy to get away from this overachieving family. Let's discover my real self."

"I respect that." I mumbled as I turned to hug the plush as well. Then I fell asleep with Ako. Tomorrow, our lessons start.

Thanks for reading!

I don't own Aikatsu Stars!
