恋するかも - An Aikatsu Stars Fan Fiction

Imagine It (Special One-Shot)

Since this is a prequel story, I'm gonna post my latest update here instead of Daiji na Mono.

Many fans were a bit satisfied with episode 87 of Aikatsu Stars, with Ako finally recognising her feelings. Some die-hard shippers were okay with it, but not really happy as Kanata didn't confess to her even when he knows she likes him back.

I have to admit, I AM one of those fans. Or else, why am I here, writing shipping fanfics if I am already happy with the results Bandai already gave us in episode 100?

Here's my vision of how episode 87 should end.

Feel free to comment anywhere you want!

*this will cut off the previous parts eg. The Christmas Tree lifting part of Rei, Mahiru will be shorter and the main focus will be the next part. Black Star & Laura's moments will be shorter too.*

Let's go!

"In any case, I take it all back, Kira Kanata! Never show your face in front of me again! Sayonara!"

The red-head began walking away in the opposite direction, her emerald eyes directed onto the marble-tiled floor. She was not only embarrassed of mistranslating M4's conversation earlier in front of one of the unit's members, but also confused with all those new, unfamiliar feelings inside her.

Subaru had been her favourite male idol ever since elementary school. She was one of his biggest fans even before M4 was formed. And everyone around Four Star's campus knew she was the president of Subaru's official fan-club, even the idol himself, however not many of them knew of her 'crush' on Subaru.

For the first time in almost three years, Ako began to reflect on herself, especially when it came to her feelings regarding the group. She loved M4 more than member Asahi's sister, and also her dear friend, Mahiru, but she had started to realise -- she was only a Subaru solo stan.

Despite being Subaru's official fan-club president, she didn't know much about the other members. What Nozomu's favourite genre of books were, for example, or what Asahi's culinary specialty was. And Kanata made her realise that.

After meeting M4 in person as an equal and spending more time with them in person, she found out Subaru was not the type of man she'd expected him to be off camera. At least, not her type. Meanwhile, she started bonding with Subaru's fellow member, Kira Kanata, and the two grew much closer than she'd expected.

Through today's mini 'reflection', she realised, that Subaru was only an idol she really liked and admired, a role model to her and many other youngsters. He was not the boyfriend she wanted, despite that was what she believed in years ago. And Kanata... It was getting interesting.

Over the past few weeks, filming a drama with the two had made Ako understand their distinct personalities. She came to like Kanata, for how she could be completely honest around him, how she could easily get him to listen to her thoughts, how he always gave her advice, and so much more. She felt more comfortable around him compared to Subaru.

Drifting back to a memory she had dating back a week ago, she recalled the words she'd said when the interviewer asked what her ideal boyfriend would be like. 'One that accepts me as I am, and subtly guides and mentors me towards my goals. I want a fellow intellect, cat-lover and bookworm, too. Looks don't really matter.'

Wait... Was she describing--

"Ako! Watch where you are heading!"

The girl had been too absorbed in her own bubble of thoughts, that she almost crossed the road when the traffic lights were still red in colour. It was fortunate there was not a car driving towards her, or else she would have been seriously injured or, even worse -- killed.

Kanata pulled her away from the dangers of the road. "What were you thinking? For God's sake, you almost got yourself killed!"

"I-"

Before she even got to complete her sentence, he locked their lips together. He pulled her closer, hands on her cheeks as he slowly moved his lips over her soft, plump ones. Ako gasped, but soon gave in. Feeling him licking her bottom lips, she quickly parted her lips, and he kissed her harder, slipping his tongue inside her mouth, exploring. His lips, intoxicatingly sweet, moved swiftly and passionately over hers, showing her how much he'd wanted her.

It wasn't before long until Ako broke the kiss, panting for air. "What was that for? Let me go!"

"Hmm..." Kanata lifted her chin, so that she could finally meet his gaze. "Say you love me, and I'll let you go. Say you love me, 'till the end of the world, and I'll let you go." He leaned in closer. "I love you, kitty. All or nothing, I want you. All of you."

"You're the drive that pushes me forward." He rested his hands on her shoulder, eyes peering into hers. Ako knew he was serious -- but she couldn't really digest what was happening. "I promise I will never make you sad. I promise to always beside you, as your best friend, as your soulmate, as your source of happiness." Ako smiled softly and felt wetness on both cheeks -- she was crying happy tears.

Kanata pulled out a tissue paper from his pocket, and delicately wiped her tears. "So," he continued, "will you be my girlfriend?"

"Yes, I will!"

~~~

"This is a great plan. Right, Kanata-- Wait! Where has he gone? I thought he was here with us the entire time!"

The three M4 members started looking for the brunette, and after five minutes of searching, they found him holding hands with an ever-familiar girl inside a jewellery shop, picking a necklace for Ako.

"Wait! Isn't that Ako-chan from S4?" Nozomu pointed out. "Kanako has sailed! I'm so touched!"

"I must tell my sisters about this! They would be so happy, too!" Asahi dialed a number, ready to announce the good news.

It wasn't before long when the girls stormed in the jewellery shop, sending their best wishes to the new couple. Yume came up with the idea of holding at party at S4's dormitory for celebration.

And it was the best Christmas the teenagers had ever had.
