The Life of an Under-appreciated School Idol

Balance between School Idol and Friends

"Nico Nico N-ot going to happen.." I stare at the phone screen as I broke my 100 combo. First of all, I should introduce myself. Yazawa Nico, age 21. I am a borderline otaku and a former school idol at Otonokizaka Academy. It has been at least half a year after the first years (from when I was there), have graduated. Currently, I work as a part-time idol in order to pursue my career as the world's number one idol. On my free time, I play the Love Live! School Idol Festival game in order to advertise for the franchise. I have mostly SRs on my account, most from either events or 10+1 scouts. I don't even have a UR card of myself which is tragic. So this Saturday is exactly as every other weekend when I'm not on tour.

"Nico-chan, I'm coming in for my lunch break." A familiar voice chimes as the familiar psyche enters my doorway. It seems to be the one and only, Nishikino Maki. She has a petite build yet subtle curves are hidden inside her doctor's coat. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention. She's also my soon-to-be wife. She sits slowly on our bed with her cup of coffee with her legs seductively crossed. God can she be any more adorable?!

The ruby on her ring glistens in the sunlight as she holds up her coffee to take a sip. "Are you playing the game again Nico-chan? It really has taken over your free time has it not?" She sighs and plays with her hair. I lean over and kiss her head, tightly embracing her. "Nico-chan..." She turns completely flushed and avoids any eye contact. "Listen..you haven't even showered yet and it's almost 2 p.m. Don't you think Eli and Nozomi are waiting for you to hang out with them?" She finally turns her head, inches away from my face. I peck her on her lips and get up from the bed. "You know for a doctor-in-training, you seem to be free most of the time.." I whisper into her ear. "E-eh? It's not like I would come home if I had a choice, but I just found as my responsibility to come home and make sure you're well-fed and in perfect health.." She averts her eyes once again, but now towards the window. She exchanges glances with the neighborhood stray cat Rin usually usually bothers.

I sigh and strip to my underwear and head towards the bathroom. "Is there anything you would like me to buy while I'm out?" I unhinge the straps of my undershirt and and slide my underwear down. Cautiously turning on the hot water as the entire room instantly fills with steam. I sing to myself as I begin to rinse my body. "Don't forget to buy some snacks from that one convenience store I like, okay?" she begs. "Alright, alright." I continue to inhale the hot steamy air and enter my own world for awhile. After about ten minutes, I turn the water off and dry myself off. A little note is written on the fogged up mirror. "Love you, Nico-chan. -Maki"
