Mikaze Ai x Reader

Ch. 8:

I sat at my table, dumbfounded. What did Akihiko just do?!?!?!

Ai looked at me for the longest time, hurt and sadness... no wait, more than sadness.... in his eyes. I opened my mouth, holding his gaze, but I was suddenly aware of Tsubasa looking at me. I met his victorious gaze.

Oh, no... I don't know what to do.

"Enough with the joke, Akihiko." Camus snapped. "And leave the pretty lady alone."

Akihiko grumbled, apparently not counting on being scolded. Nevertheless, he left me to myself.

Ai stood up, excusing himself to our room. Tsubasa gave him a look, which Ai returned with a glare. Tsubasa stood up, and sat across from me.

"Was that true, _______-chan," he asked. "What Akihiko-san just said."

"Iiee... ano... Hai... demo..." I looked at him with a pleading gaze.

His face fell. "I see. So, that means you're still unsure, huh?"

"Gomen, Tsubasa-kun." I said.

He stood, meeting my gaze with a calm one. "Daijoubu. You can't rush love, can you?" He took a deep breath. "Just know this, ________-chan. I'll be waiting for you no matter how many times you break my heart or leave me behind."

'But the truth is, Tsubasa-kun,' I thought. 'I don't love you... but, I don't want to hurt you or our friendship either.'

****Time Skips***

I knocked on the door before entering the room. Ai was on his computer, typing something up.

"Ai-kun," I said.

He glanced at me, but kept on tying. "Nani?' he asked. "Come to turn me down formally now, huh?"

I shut the door, unaware that there was someone behind it.

"iie, Ai-kun," I said. "it's just that--"

He turned away from his computer. "Just that what? Explain it to me, please, _________. Because I'm new to this feeling. I told you what I've felt for you... or at least I told you what I can sum up with words. I cannot explain what I feel for you through mere words, ______. And then, your fellow kohai comes along and tries to take you from me. He might be nice, but, he's steling you away, _______, and I don't like that. And then, you decide to tell that flirt your feelings before you tell me or Tsubasa. So tell me, what are you feeling? Explain this situation!!"

The way he said those word. The way he saw things. The way he feels for me. The way he looks. The way he treats me. The way he talks. Everything about him. I love him, but I can't just say that...

"Ano!" I stated. "Don't be mistakned, Ai-kun... Please! You know the others are against me, and they're trying really hard to get me out of the Agency. But, I do have feelings for Tsubasa. I love him..."

Ai looked away, hurt.

"But," I said. "I love him as an older brother figure and as a best friend. You, Ai-kun... In the few weeks I've known you... No, actually, hearing you sing, watching you perform from afar... I've fallen in love with you without realizing it. I just... I couldn't say anything because you were famous, and when you would get my fanmail, you would've thrown it away. And then, being chosen for this... I thought it would finally be my chance to tell you how I felt. But, you were my senpai and then the no love policy was in the way... And then, Tsubasa's there, waitining for an answer, waiting for a feeling that I could never return. I didn't want to hurt either of you..."

And, I couldn't finish. Ai rushed up to me, and hugged me tightly. "Arigato." He said. "I love you."

He pulled back, and kissed me. I was so happy. I was on Cloud Nine. But, then, his happened--

The door burst open, and Tsubasa was standing there, tears in his eyes, and he came in.

He slammed the door shut, and grabbed me roughly. Then, he pushed me into the wall so hrd, my head hit the wall first. And, all the world was black... and my mind shut down.

I awoke in the hospital. Cyan eyes stared down at me woried. Brown eyes stared down at me, looking very sorry.

I know I should've known who they were... but I couldn't remember.

"Dare desu ka, futari-tomo?" I asked.

The brown eyes looked away, hurt and very depressed.

The cyan eyes shed tears. Lots and lots of tears.

THAT'S RIGHT, DEAR READER! YOU HAVE AMNESIA! BOOM, WHAT?!?! Mwahahaha, deal with it. P.S. luv you all. Did I make your heart go Doki~Doki~? (P.S.
