Shining Stars

Chapter Five: Shock and Awe

(A/N: Sorry for the bait and all the notifications... I misclicked... ;-;)

(Y/n) sat on his couch alone, watching B-Komachi's newest concert, live. He was unable to attend due to complications getting tickets, and as much as Ai wanted to pull some strings, (Y/n) refused, to avoid suspicion. His eyes wandered from the TV to his phone. Tweets were going wild about the concert, praise and compliments filled the feed whenever you searched up Ai or B-Komachi. Some pictures of people at the concert. Everyone looked like they were having fun. (Y/n) smiled as he looked up at his girlfriend as she sang her heart out on stage.

Ai was backstage after the Concert. Another amazing success. Nino and Takamine were busy trying to get Watanabe to agree to something, by the looks of them pestering her. Ai just scrolled through Twitter, she saw many tweets on her performance, as well as her Co-Stars. Some weird suggestive comments made by the more weird section of her fandom. Though as she scrolled more and more, she noticed the comments shift.

"Ai's clearly getting favoritism by the Management, what about Nino? I bet she works way harder than Ai."

"Ai needs to loosen up on begging to be the center of attention. What do you think she's doing to be the center of the stage?"

The comments were few and far between, they stuck out to her. They were all hating on her, sure, she could deal with that just fine. But one comment stuck out to her.

"Ai needs to lose some weight... I don't know why but something about her outfit makes her look... bigger."

Immediately her eyes widened as a hand Immediately went to her stomach her breathing became rigid as she looked at the comment.

"What did I tell you? If a fan saw it... What will (Y/n) think? His perfect girlfriend putting on more weight isn't the best, now is it?"

Her doubts filled her mind. As she felt her heart hurt. What was (Y/n) thinking about her? Was her performance good enough for him? She felt herself start to worry, she wanted to call him, but she didn't want to confirm her fears.

Ai looked out the car window, her eyes landing on a vending machine. It had alcohol in it. She felt her brain focus on the vending machine as they pulled into the Strawberry Productions headquarters, getting out, she looked towards the direction of the vending machine, though there was such an easier way to get Alcohol.

As Ai entered, she saw President Saitou putting down his bag, filled with all the work equipment he brought with him.

"Do you mind if I take that up for you President~ You must be exhausted!"

Ai said in a sweet song voice. President Saitou turned to her, smiling as he gestured to the bag.

"Be my guest, I have no problems with it."

*Ai let out a small giggle and nodded. Saitou was slightly put off by this behavior, but Ai flashed him a smile, which he returned and turned away to talk to the other Three girls of B-Komachi. She picked up the bag and ran upstairs to the President's office. Setting the bag on his desk, she turned to her main objective. The Liquor Cabinet.

She remembered when she first took a bottle from it. That was so long ago now... But this was different, she needed the Alcohol. She needed it... Taking a bottle, she put it into her own bag, before reaching and stealing a second. Giggling to herself she began to go downstairs as Nino was leaving, turning to her friend, Nino waved.

"Good job tonight Ai! I'll see you later."

"Bye Nino! You did fantastic~"

As Nino left, Ai would follow soon after heading back to the Children's home she lived at. She looked into the bag as she smiled.
