恋するかも - An Aikatsu Stars Fan Fiction

Revolve Around You

Timidly, Kanata greeted his parents in their family villa, settled down, and had a meeting with them discussing his upcoming schedule in America for the next month or so. Expectedly, Kanata had no solo interviews nor promotions in his home country due to his parents' disapproval of his career.

A day later, the teen was sent to Stanford University, attending interviews and meeting different Professors and members of staff, to understand more about the school's environment. The prestigious university was one of the Kiras' favourites, and many of the male's relatives had spent a part of their school years studying in this university.

"Thank you for letting our son come here! He surely needs to get used to his upcoming school life." Said Mrs. Kira gratefully, shaking hands with the Headmaster.

"You're absolutely welcome, dear! Anything for the Kira family!" He replied, and Kanata couldn't help but silently utter a curse in Korean so that his parents won't understand, tired of their controlling nature. Perhaps the acting training in Four Star Academy he once despised had a purpose after all -- he managed to listen to the headmaster's words without verbal complaint and did not fall asleep, (which was already a big accomplishment to most teens) instead marking choreography inside his head.

The routine repeated itself for the next two weeks, with the male visited different schools in order to find the one that fitted him the most, according to his parents. He missed Ako so much, that he sometimes had insomnia. Therefore, said male would escape from his 'dorm room' and sprint to the nearest dance studio or the school courtyard late at night to practice alone.

Dance was the only way he could forget about all his worries. About his family, his upcoming school life, and of course, if he could even return to Four Star Academy and see his dearest friends again.

Nevertheless...

He often wondered what Ako was up to...

~~~

"Last time!" Shouted Yuzu. "Five, six, seven, eight!"

The four practiced once more before the eldest member of S4 announced a well-deserved break. And Ako took the opportunity to reply to Kanata's texts. The past weeks were horrible for her in a way -- she missed the male deeply, so much that she couldn't really concentrate on her own activities.

Suddenly, she heard a squeal of excitement coming from Mahiru. "What's wrong?" Asked Yume. "Are you okay?"

The blonde shook her head, laughing. "It's nothing! I'm just surprised Asahi's prediction came true! Look!" The four girls gathered around Mahiru's mobile phone. "Kanata just posted a dance cover in his solo YouTube channel!"

Ako gasped, leaning closer to the youngest S4 member. "What?!"

And there he was, on the thumbnail on his newest video -- a dance cover of 2PM's sensational hit, 'My House', which was probably taken inside his house in Hillsborough, considering the western, stylish outlook, and most likely in his private dance studio. Instead of his usual attire consisted of tracksuits or T-shirt and sweatpants, Kanata was dressed in completely formal attire, meaning a whole suit. Yume also noticed his hair was styled differently, and the gold watch on his wrist glimmered brighter than usual, making him radiate the aura of a 'rich boy'.

"I bet when his parents find out, they'd be so mad at him for showing their mansion!" Exclaimed Mahiru, trying hard not to contain her giggles.

Before the youngest could say more, Yuzu clicked on the video, and the four huddled together, watching it.

"Oh my god!" Screamed Ako when the chorus came. "I can't-- Someone! Stop the video!" However, no one did.

Soon, though, she was staring at the screen as if the video would be deleted five minutes later, as if it was her last time watching it. What had the air in the United States done to him? Sure, he was often bold in front of his fans and the cameras, but this was different. This was a whole new level of what Ako liked to call 'manliness', as if Kanata perfectly read her mind about what kind of video she wanted.

"I requested for a normal dance video or a vlog, not this!" She muttered in English, the boy's native language, and expected no reply -- Mahiru and Yume did not speak English, and Yuzu wasn't that fluent, right?

"Oh my god!" Piped up Yuzu one second later. "This was Ako-chi's request! Mahiru-chi, dear, how are you feeling?" She asked, balling her hands together to form a fake microphone. "Absolutely amazing! The OTP is sailing, woohoo!" Replied the youngest, clasping her hands together, her eyes twinkling with happiness.

The redhead rolled her eyes. "Yuzu! Don't expose me!" She whined, eager to watch the cover without being disturbed. However, the video soon ended, and Yuzu turned her attention to the boy's Twitter. "A new message in full English, eh!" She grinned.

"I thought his parents were against him dancing!" Mahiru spoke up, earning strange looks from the other three.

Yuzu was suspicious. "Do you know something we don't, Mahiru-chi?"

"Nothing!"

However, unknown to the other three, Ako had already typed a reply into her and Kanata's private chat room.

~~~

It wasn't until three days later that Kanata got to read Ako's messages. His over-controlling parents had tried to make him quit social media, which was actually him interacting with his fans, and had taken away his phone for safekeeping. However, he managed to hide his film camera, and in a few minutes, had finished his cover without mistakes. And with the help of his work computer, he was able to publish the video on YouTube and make an announcement on Twitter with selfies and pictures of his cats, telling his fans that he had been doing well, when he had not.

"The Eve? EXO?" He frowned. "Well I think I can learn that."

"Who are you talking to?" Boomed his father from downstairs.

"Nobody!" He slammed the door to an empty room inside the Kiras' mansion, while uttering a silent curse. Hoping for his parents to just move on, he turned on his laptop, and in a few hours, had finished learning Ako's request. It was a daring choice, and he could almost imagine the look on her face as she watched the video.

He sighed, resting for a few minutes in his newfound 'dance studio', thinking of Ako, before he received notice from his mother -- Four Star Academy's headmaster called.
