UtaPri: Ai x Reader

Ch. 26: Emotional Life

The dining hall was quite quiet for a regular breakfast.
I glanced around.
"Ettooo... STARISH to Rei-chan wa?" I asked.
"MINNNAAAAAAA!!!" Reiji yelled, coming in.
"You just had to ask..." Ranmaru sighed.
"Gomen.." I said with a smile.
"NATSUKI AND OTOYAN HAVE RHEIR FIRST CROSS-UNIT WORK TOGEHTER!" He yelled, hooking an arm around Ai, who sighed.
"And?" Camus inquired.
"So what?" The rest of us chorused.
"ITS EXCITING, ISNT IT?!" He yelled.
We shook our heads.
"Ehhhh?! But they're going to experience the same director as I did." He said.
We shook our heads. "And?"
Reiji frowned. "It's a sign that they're growing up, minna!"
"Good, so I can finally kick them out of my room?" Ranmaru questioned.
I nodded in agreement.
"Minna, hidoi!" Reiji pouted.

I followed Ai to his room, where Natsuki and Syo were watching the Prince of Fighting.
I giggled at their childish reactions to the movie.
They glanced at me, but then started to watch again.
Ai rolled his eyes.
"It seems my room is taken, _____." He said. "Shall we spend our time somewhere esle?"
I nodded as we exited.
As we made our way to the living room, I heard the clinking of plates and tea cups. Ai and I glanced at the couches, that were hiding Tokiya and Otoya... Who seemed to be copying each other... Or... Maybe it was Otoya copying Tokiya.
"Kuradenai." Ai said with a rolls of his eyes. "How are they going to learn how to act like that?"
"Act?" I asked as he lead me to another place.
"That's right, Reiji didn't tell you, huh?" Ai asked. "Those two, Natsuki and Otoya, they're going to be in a musical."
"Ahh..." I said with a dreamy smile. "Musical?! Like The Sound of Music? Or Into the Woods? Wicked? Newsies?"
"Not exactly like those..." Ai said. "It's a rock musical"
"AHHH... KAKOII!" I cried.
A small smile graced Ai's features. "I'll take you to see it, _____, okay?" He said. "And we'll have dinner after that."
I nodded. "Arigato, Ai!" I said with a beaming smile.
But, then his face turned back to its original I-don't-give-a-cr*p mode. "But, we'll have to do our own work before that, okay?"
I poured. "Hai..."

*time skip*

QUARTET NIGHT sat around a table on the balcony. Folders and papers surrounded us. I was too scared to know what may be lying within the folders, so I procrastinated by playing on my phone. Reiji procrastinated by watching Natsuki and Otoya, who were practicing for their musical.
"They're going to have a hard time with that director," Reiji said. "That guy also put me through the wringer once."
Ai stood up. I have expected him to scold Reiji, but instead he said, "Well, if you say that, Reiji,mIll believe you."
Ranmaru rolled his eyes in a who-gives-a-(censored) manner. It seems like Camus was the only one doing work now.
"At that level, they can't do a thing." Camus called, glancing up from his papers.
"Maybe the director will have to change the actors last minute." I added, looking up from my phone.
"Who knows?" Reiji answered.

*nother time skip cause I be lazy*

"And, so what did you think of their play?" Ai asked me as we walked hand in hand down an empty sidewalk, towards a restaurant.
"It was pretty good." I answered. "Exciting, perhaps. Far from perfect, though."
"I thought the same thing." Ai said.
We paused.
I stood on my tippy-toes, ready to kiss him, and I saw him lean in.
Suddenly, my face hit a folder... The folder full of my work that I was suppose to do.
"Nani?!" I cried.
"Your work." He said. "Finish it while we have dinner."
He walked away, towards the restaurant.
"EH?! ZURUI!" I yelled after him.
