∆Error Forevermore∆ Oshi no ko x male reader

}{Scene 7}{

Three years have passed since that film, Ruby, Aqua, and I are 4 years old now. As expected, the film was a hit, and Taishi got nominated for a director's award. I look over at Aqua, who was seated on the sofa next to Ai and Ruby. He was on his phone while having his inner monologue about his current life, as shown in the Manga and Anime.

I sat around the kitchen table, writing down what I remembered from my past life in a small diary that Ai had gotten me for our 2nd birthday.

Now that I think about it, I rarely spend time with her. It's mostly Aqua who gets more time with her as the protagonist, and Ruby's turn is coming up soon... huh, it looks like I won't get to stay true to my word.

My new mother, Ai Hoshino, the girl I said I would cherish and love if she were to ever become my mother. Back then, it seemed delusional to think I would ever get an anime character to become my mother, yet here she is.

I have siblings, a wonderful mother, two decent parental figures, a steady life, I have everything I could've ever hoped for... yet I can't even enjoy it fully.

The constant worry about that day, having to condition Ai into locking doors and being more aware of her surroundings, not to mention the chances of my theory being wrong.

I don't want Ai to die. I want her to live and be happy with us, yet this stupid world is forcing me to make a difficult choice.

I died once before, and I can do it again, but...

I want to live.

I need to die in order to save her, but when I die, I won't see her or them at all. Why is the world so cruel??

"[Name] what's wrong?"

I looked up and saw that Ai was standing over me. She stooped down and held my face, "Why are you crying?" She tenderly asked.

Oh...

I blink a few times while wiping my eyes, "Sorry, I didn't mean to," I apologized as I dried my tears on my shirt sleeve.

"It's alright [Name], here blow," Ai held a napkin for me to blow my nose in, "Are you going to tell me why you're crying now?" She asked again.

I bit my lip while looking down at my lap. 'She can never know!' I thought to myself.

"My imaginary friends." I muttered. "Oh, were they being mean to you again? If so, don't worry, I'll make sure to have a talk with them!" She assured me.

I shook my head and began talking, "They want me to pick between them. If I pick one, I'll lose the other, but if I pick none, then I'll lose them both." I looked up at Ai, "Hikaru, Kamiki are horrible for making me choose!" I cried.

Ai's eyes widened at the name, but she just smiled and patted my head, "If they're forcing you to choose, then you shouldn't choose. A real friend wouldn't make you do this," She reasoned.

I nodded slightly at this answer and turned back to my closed diary. As I was about to get up to leave, Ai hugged me, "As long as I'm here, I'll make sure you they never make you cry again, my little Star." She whispered and kissed my forehead.

'I'm sorry, Ai.'

<<Days later>>

"Mhm, looking cute as always! Super cute!" Ai commented on the three of us. Today is the day we head off to preschool. "You're the cuter one over all, Mama," Ruby praised, Aqua looked at her and asked, "Since when did this become a competition?"

"Mama, when will we get back?" I asked Ai. "I have training later, so Miyako will come to get you all at two." She informed us.

《Small Timeskip》

The three of us are in the playground for recess, Ruby and Aqua are sitting in the main area near up on top near the slide and the rest of the playground equipment. I'm sitting near a tree away from the other kids and my siblings.

Aqua needs to ask Ruby about their past life ages, and if I'm there, he definitely will not say anything.

I look down at the book in my lap and start writing more information I can remember about the manga.

"What are you doing?" Someone suddenly asked, causing me to slam my book shut on instinct. I looked up and saw a plain looking boy standing in front of me.

'Oh a background character,' I think. "Nothing you should be concerned about, go back to playing with the others," I answered, waving him off.

"Why did you slam your book shut?" He asked again, pointing the book on my lap. "I said it's none of your business, so leave me alone, kid," I replied, irritated.

"You talk funny, my name's Mashita Yume! What's yours?" He asked, smiling down at me.

I really shouldn't get involved in the lives of unnecessary people. If he wants to be my friend, then he'll know I die on Ai's 20th birthday, and he'll have to live with that. He's sociable, I guess, since he did come to me so he would be able to make different friends if I reject him.

"I'm not saying." I replied, bringing my book up to my chest so it hides my name tag. "Hmmp, well, I'll just as that boy over there who looks similar to you for your name then!" He laughed and ran off towards Aqua.

'He's a stubborn one!!' I got up and ran after him, I need to stop him from getting to Aqua and Ruby, or else who knows what could happen?! Sure, it's just a small conversation, but the impact it may have further into the story, I'm not taking that risk.

Mashita turned right before he got to Ruby and Aqua. He laughed gleefully as I chased him around the playground.

《Aqua POV》

"Ruby, do you ever feel like we aren't the only ones who've been reincarnated?"
