「Not-so Secret Admirer」

(🌟🍬) Lonely Without You

Saturday has passed, Sunday has also passed. Three of the members of the troupe have a quiz today. The day before that, they studied together instead of practice. Well, Emu wasn't there. Family business that even herself needs to join in.

Today's Monday, and the pinkette suddenly frowned at the class, but she's Emu Otori so she smiled like NOTHING. EVER. HAPPENED.

She missed him so much, wanting to see him even tho she hasn't seen him for a day. Family business has been rough lately so she have to gain knowledge to deal with this. Before lunch, Honami went beside her chair.

"E-Emu-chan? You seemed strange lately? Something's up? Is there anything I can help?"

"A-ah... It's nothing teehee! You see, there's something really rough lately but I promise you, I'm okay now!"

"I-I see, let me know if something happens okay?"

"Okay!"

Emu really is an idiot sometimes, she acts like it's just a minimal inconvenience if someone ever noticed. Well, they walked and sat the same table together, as Honami's other friends have other meetings in clubs.

"Eeeee"

"Huh? Is something matter?"

"Honami-chan, let's go to the rooftop!"

"E-eh? Can we go there?"

"Trust me! We'll just sneak there and BAAM! I've seen other do this"

Emu began pulling Honami's arm.

"Wait! Emu-chaaan!"

At the rooftop while eating their lunch, Emu slowly opening up to Honami.

"Honami-chan, I miss him"

Tears flowing in her eyes, she buries her head to the brunette's chest.

"Even though it's been just a day, I feel lonely"

"M-May I know who you're talking about?"

"Tsukasa-kun... I feel lonely! Surely I feel sad too when I don't see my other friends but, I can't hold it in! I think he and the others have quiz but. I just feel the day wouldn't be complete without his presence. Hueeeee"

"Emu-chan, you sure really treasure Tsukasa-san. Feeling this lonely is hard! I know it isn't easy but to wait for him. I'm sure he misses your presence as well. You two are well cherished friends, I hope you can see each other soon"

"Ahaha! Thank you Honami-chan! You're such a great friend! I'm so glad I ended up having a classmate like you!"

"Is that so? Ehehe, I'm so grateful"

Both hugged each other, finishing their meals and went back downstairs.

"Honami-chan, you have one wrong thing!"

"Eh? What is it?"

"He isn't just my treasure friend, you know?"

"Like? More more than just that?"

"Yes! A lot of people know this but I actually like him! No- I LOVE HIM!"

"Fufu, that's wonderful! Love is a wonderful thing. You see, Tsukasa-san is a great person too! I'm sure best things wil come to both of you"

"Really? I'm so glad you see my potential for him! I don't know but he'll love me back but let's see! It's not like our friendship will be swoosh!"

"That's right, Emu-chan!"

The bell rang and both headed to the class.

It's the last period of the class and the teacher decided to give them free time. Emu decided to talk to Honami. This time, they continued talking about love.

Love is wonderful. Love is not just about romance, but how you show affection towards people. In happiness, in sadness, in health and in sickness, there is love existing. It can be painful, it can be exciting.

Honami, who's taken by one of her childhood friends, Ichika Hoshino. She's ready to help Emu whenever she's asking for love advice. That feeling her friend right now is familiar so she knew what to say.

"Emu-chan, all I can say is you chose someone so great! Tsukasa-san is always looking out for others. He never fails to amaze you, doesn't he?"

"Yep! That feeling when he reminds me of my grandfather. Someone who's capable to look out for others, someone who's ready to face the challenges. Everything about Tsukasa-kun is amazing! He caught my attention at first and it grew on me! I swore that we'll make everyone smile together!"

"Oh yes, it's been a while since we're talking like this and I didn't know that, huh"

"It's okaaay! It's not like I could talk about this often!"

"I'm glad you have a chance to do so. You see, I watched your shows as well so I get to know you guys outside of the school and the family!"

"Teehee! But still, I want to sneak to their school again. And then BAAAM! I get caught once again!"

"Eh? Be careful, okay? By any chance, do you still have rehearsals?"

"Yes! Our show is at Friday so we still have time!"

"Goodluck Emu-chan!"

"Thank you!"

Riiiiing! The bell rang and everyone bid farewell. Emu is so excited to see her Tsukasa-kun that is why she sprinted until Kamikou. Seeing Tsukasa and others getting out of the gate, she screamed and hugged him"

"TSUKASA-KUUUUUN! I MISSED YOU!!!!!"

"ACK- I'M SURPRISED YOU KNOW?"

"Tsukasa-kun! How's your quiz?"

"HAHAHA! I SCORED PERFECT 50s!"

"YAY! I'M SO GLAD!"

The green haired seemed distressed. Was it because of the fact that she and Rui are ignored?

"Emu, hello? Me and Rui are here"

"OH NENE-CHAAAN! RUI-KUUUN! HOW ARE YOU?"

"H-Hold on! Don't squeeze me to death!"

"Emu-kun, We did well in quiz"

"THAT'S COOL! I really wished to join you guys yesterday but I have something going on with my family!"

"Hmm? What's wrong?" Tsukasa butted in.

"It's about the tickets! Nothing serious, don't worry! Recently the ticket count machine had been acting strange so we fixed it!"

"I see, Emu, what about school?" Nene asked.

"It's all good! I'm so glad I saw you guys once again! Now, let's head to rehearsals!"

"Fufu, Tsukasa-kun will fly again!"

"God help me"

"Haha, don't fall, idiot"
