UTAPRI: Tokiya x Reader

Ch. 8:

Never in my life did I think boys would become a problem when shopping. Usually it was the girls causing problems. Not this time.
After a heavy breakfast full of crepes and waffles and eggs and parfait sand bacon, we decided to do some shopping.
"Ne, ne!!!" Natsuki called. "_______-chan! Haru-chan!!! Look at these outfits!! Aren't they kawaii?!"
He held up two hangers that both contained a pastel yellow blouse, black mini skirt, and black jacket.
I formulated an idea in my head. "Hai, it's so kawaii, Natsuki-chan!" I cried, taking one. "I'll try it on!"
Haruka seemed to catch on, she grabbed one. "I'll try it, too!"
We rushed to the dressing rooms. I came out a second before her.
The boys were sitting in comfy chairs.
"Dō?" I asked, striking a pose.
"Looks good!" Syo, Massto, and Otoya called.
"Kawaii!!" Natsuki called.
"Totemo suteki, imoto-chan!" Ren called with a thumbs up.
Tokiya just stared at Haruka.
I huffed as I turned to her. She had the legs to pull it off, I'll give her that. Black just wasn't her color. The only thing that seemed to match her was the yellow shirt.
"Point for _______-chan!" Natsuki cried, taking out his phone, opening up a drawing app, and drawing a line under my name.
I smirked at Haruka, who glared at me.
"Syo-chan!" Natsuki called. "You get the next outfit!"
Syo blushed. "M-me?! I have to go look through women's clothes?!"
"Just do it, ochibi." Ren said.
"I'm not short! And fine!" He said, storming out.
He came back a few minutes later carrying pastel pink dresses. He was blushing. "H-here. Don't blame me if they're too small. I don't know your sizes!"
We each took one from his hand and marched back to the dressing rooms.
I slipped it on, and noticed that it was a little too small around the chest area and that I needed someone to zip me up.
I peeked my head from the curtain. "C-can someone sip me up?" I asked, blushing madly, not meeting their gazes.
"Me too?" Nanami asked.
Ren stood up. "Icchi go and help _______. I've got Haruka."
I looked to him gratefully as he nodded in my direction.
Tokiya stood and I retreated back into the dressing room.
Ren was the best ever.

*Tokiya's POV*

'Ren-Baka.' I thought. How could he do that? Order me around to zip up a girl's dress.
I blushed at the thought. But, then I remembered I was zipping ______'s dress, not Nanami's.
I thought the blush would leave... But it didn't.
I went in and saw ______ pulling back her hair, to reveal the unzipped dress, the strap of her bra, and her skin.
I took a deep breath and put a hand on her shoulder and zipped her up.
It hit me then. ________ was innocent that night in Florida. Nanami was the one to blame.
But, she started the harsh words, not Nanami. And she knows Nanami is a cryer and isn't as strong.
"T-Tokiya-san... You're hurting me." She whispered.
I glanced down at the hand I had on her shoulder, I had a deathly grip on it. "Gomen." I said curtly and exited.
I didn't bother to look back at her shoulder, there were small nail marks that turned to bruises. I didn't bother to look back at her face, she looked hurt.
I didn't need her to get in the way of me and Nanami.

*Your POV*

I looked down at my shoulder with small tears in my eyes.
That really hurt.
He really does hate me.
I walked out, not really in the mood for a contest anymore.
My mood increased when their eyes popped.
"See, what did I tell you about __________'s chest?!" Ren said with a smirk. "Point for _______!"
"Jinguji! Ren!" Masato and I yelled at the same time.
He put up his hands, he sent me an empathetic look.
I shrugged and beamed. "What's next?!"

In the end, I won.
13 to 1.
Ha! I'm so much better than Nanami.
It was 5 pm when we got to the plane.
I was carrying more bags of clothes and several boxes of pastries.
As usual, Reiji face timed me.
"Yo, My Girl." He said with his usual smile. "Ogenki desu ka?"
Something in my eyes must've given away my secret as I smiled.
"Doushita?" He asked.
"Contest." I answered him quietly. "Against Nanami."
"What happened? Did you lose?" He asked. "There's no shame in losing."
"I won actually." I said.
"Then why the long face?" He asked.
"Tokiya-san..."
His face hardened. "What did he do? Did he hurt you?"
I nodded and pulled back my shirt do he could see the bruises.
His eyes widened. "_________."
I shook my head, trying to blink back tears. "I want to go home, Rei-chan. I want to see you in person, I want to hug you." I whispered. "I can't take it anymore."
He looked like he wanted to come an hug me an kiss me and comfort me. "Don't give up hope." He said finally. "Daisuki, ________. Demo, you can't give up on him so easily. I can see it in your eyes, that you love him, that I'm your second choice. Just a few more months and see where you are with him. I really want you to see where your heart is."
I nodded. "Arigato, Rei-chan. You understand me so well."
He winked. "Gambate ne!"
I nodded. "Ja ne!"
I turned to the clothes that I had just bought.
I put on the black one piece I ha bought, knee high leather boots, and silver jewelry. Then, I curled my hair and put on a black fedora.
I was ready.

*time skip, concert*

Times Square was all aglow. The different buildings casted lights and shadows alike.
I stood in the middle of the stage.
Here goes nothing.

"If only one wish could come true for you,
what would you wish for now? Let me know softly
Even if you couldn't call this love "eternity"
Tell me a lie, only now, and make me believe with your faint words.

If this love song resounds,
It will shine a light to the grey night sky
I send the light rays one by one
so that they will reach you even far away.

If only one wish could come true for me
I would wish to meet you, even if it had to be only in a dream
If this love came to an end for me,
It would be broken like glass, with no return for me, that's why I love you

Even if there was only a vague relation between us
Please, be gentle as always
and don't tell me the truth
I can't accept the fact that I wouldn't be able to see you again anymore.

I felt that I could go back again tomorrow as always
and I looked up the sky
Never say good-bye
The night sky is falling in my dreams, too

If this love song resounds,
It will shine a light to the grey night sky
I send the light rays one by one
so that they will reach you even far away."

The audience was hushed. Suddenly, they burst out into applause.
Smiling I said my catchphrase and ran back stage.
I hope things were going to look up.

Lazy. That is what I am. Anyway, I got lazy at the end. Comment and vote! Arigato! ^-^
