Dancing with the STARISH

End of the 1st day back at home.

Mai walked out of the dance room with Haruka, holding the cd copy in her hand, "Wow this is one of the best songs I ever heard," she praised the composer. The dancer has never heard a song that made her feel so happy.

"Thank you, I got the inspiration from my friends," Haruka said. So far the two got along even though their personalities are a bit different. Haruka is gentle and hardworking, also she doesn't piss the dancer off so she's good in her book.

"Mai," the dancer turned around and saw Ai waiting for her.

"Hey Nanami I'll see you later okay," Mai said as she walked to the Android. The composer smiled and waved goodbye before leaving.

"Is it just me or do you look older?" The dancer asked him out of the blue.

"It should be a good thing. You won't like a cradle robber so much if I look mature," he said bluntly.

She slouched in response, "Don't remind me! " The dancer was well aware that she fell in love with an android that's five years her junior.

"Well analyze it like this you are breaking the double standard. You have the same privilege as any other male on the planet," he explained.

Mai smiled when she heard that bit of information, "You're right. Thanks, Ai." If men can have multiple lovers and date those that are younger than them then why can't she?

~Transition~

Syo and Natsuki were walking into the lounging room to watch T.V but stopped when they saw the back of Ai's head nuzzling Mai's.

'What the hell?!' Syo thought and quickly ducked down, bringing his friend down with him. They quietly moved forward to the back of the couch.

The Android and the dancer were cuddling on the sofa, watching WALL-E and they found it very entertaining.

"So do you think Eve is attractive?" She asked in a teasing tone.

"Actually, yes I do," he answered.

She lifted her head and raised an eyebrow giving him an ' Are you Serious?' look.

"I think she's attractive because she reminds me of you a bit," he said.

"Mmhm nice save Mikaze" She felt the arm around her shoulders gently squeeze her.

"You will always be the Eve to my WALL-E" he whispered in her head and she giggled softly. Technically it would be the other way around since he is more advanced than she is, but she didn't care. This was one of those times that he tried to be flirty.

The couple heard a loud sneeze behind them and looked at each other before looking behind the couch. They found two blondes trying to crawl away and make their escape, "What are you two doing?" Ai demanded.

Syo flinched when he heard his senior's voice, "Uh nothing...yeah absolutely nothing."

"We're certainly not listening in on your cute cuddling time moment," Natsuki said.

The shorter boy smacked the palm of his hand against his forehead when he heard his best friend practically confessed to them.

The dancer blushed a bit and looked at Ai, "I'm going to leave you to your juniors now." She moved off the couch and walked to the exit, "See you tomorrow WALL-E," she teased before going to her room.

Ai fought back the blush and glared at the two boys in front of him. "I'm confiscating everything cute and Ryuya Hyuga related from our room."

"Awww!!" Syo and Natsuki whined at the same time.

~Later that night~

Mai couldn't go to sleep so she got out of bed and went to the kitchen for a late night snack. However, once she arrived, she saw that she wasn't the only one that was up and about, "I should have known you would be up this late Camus."

The Count was leaning against the counter top, eating a carton of Cookie Dough ice cream. He was a bit embarrassed that she caught him in such a vulnerable state, "I had a stressful day okay."

She walked up to him and gently rubbed his shoulder, "Wanna talk about it...while you feed me ice cream." He raised an eyebrow at her. Does she seriously expect him to share his sweets with her? "What? I thought you liked treating me like a princess." She gave him her puppy dog pout and after a minute he gave in to her.

"Fine I'll share," she smiled at him as she took a seat on top of the counter. Camus talked about his day to her while giving her some his ice cream. One of his major pains in his noble ass was Cecil because he always whined about the homework and questioned the Count about almost everything. By the end of that rant, the ice cream carton was empty.

"Camus maybe you should go a bit easy on him," she said after she listened to him. " He's still young and where are the fundamentals with the word fun."

"Being an idol is not all fun and games," he started and she placed a finger over his lips.

"I know. Even though I'm not an idol, I can understand how hard it can be if you're not prepared," she gently brushed his blonde locks out of his face." However, you should let teens be teens every now and then."

His icy blue eyes looked into her emerald ones, "I suppose..." He gently held her hand.

" So give the kid a break tomorrow since I'm going to be working with them tomorrow," she lightly kisses his cheek, " Please?"

He blushed and looked away, "Alright...but only because I choose to do it."

"Uh okay?" She chuckles softly and the two shared a kiss.

Hiding by the door watching only some of what has transpired between those two was none other than Cecil. 'So Camus does have a soft spot,' he smiled softly before quickly leaving the two be. The prince always thought Camus was cold and bossy and that the homework was created just to torture him. At the end of the day, Camus does all this to make sure he can be the best idol he can be.

AN: Alright time to go dancing boot camp in the next chapter. Mwahahaha!
