Mizushima Ai's POV

Today, we were going to visit the shrine since it's New Year's eve.

If you were wondering about what happened to the Winter Cup, the answer is obvious. We won.

At 8:00pm, I met up with the others. They were wearing kimonos which matched their hair and eye color. I wore a colorful flower print one. We were deciding on what to do for the next 3 hours of leisure time but all of them wanted to do different things so in the end...

I had to choose to go with one of them.

a) Akashi Seijuro:

"Where are we going?" I asked him as he kept on walking, pulling me by the wrist. The red head just simply turned around and handed me a flyer. 

"Music concert?" I muttered to myself reading it. Just before I could ask how he was planning to get there since we were currently still at the shrine, a limousine arrived from nowhere. I facepalmed in my head. I should have known...

We arrived at a gigantic music hall, it wasn't crowded because of course, it required tickets and they were quite expensive. "Did you pay?" I asked Akashi-kun raising my eyebrows since he just walked straight into the hall without showing our tickets and the ticket collector didn't even flinch.

"Why should I when our company hosts this?" He replied. I looked at the flyer again and at the bottom, it said hosted by the Akashi household. I swallowed a lump in my throat and saw him smirking. I sighed in defeat.

The music consisted of orchestras to duets and soloists performing. It was beautiful. The sweet melodies filled my ears and I lost myself within it. I felt like I was swept up into the air, floating about in the music. My heart lingered over each note. I was enjoying myself, so much I didn't notice Akashi-kun leaving until his voice rang in my ears, snapping me out of daze.

A mop of red hair was on the stage. It was Akashi-kun. 

"Hello everyone. I am the heir of the Akashi household. And here tonight, I will play 'Moonlight Sonata' by Beethoven with Mizushima Ai, heir of the Mizushima household. Welcome." He announced.

A soft murmur of applause came from the audience as I sat there dumbstruck, still processing what he had just said.

"Please enjoy this opera while we are preparing." Akashi-kun added before the curtains went down and the lights dimmed so that people couldn't really see Akashi-kun dragging me onto the backstage. The lights brightened above the stage and the curtains went up. The opera started.

"Wear this.", he threw me a formal red dress and that's when I realized he already changed into a black suit with a red rose sticking out the pocket. I quickly put it on once I closed the door of the changing room. Some hairdressers tied my hair into a fancy bun which is just too complicated to describe. The makeup artist applied some light makeup on me and left me alone with Akashi-kun.
