 AI MIKAZE:

“I’m here,” Came from the cinema screen before you. Looking into the face of the Tealette man before you, your mind went blank. Even though it was not directed to you there was a nagging feeling in the pit of your stomach that just did not stop. Could it be him? No, it couldn’t be. Why would this mystery man send love letters? What was more that he was a popular idol.

Your instincts warned you that it might be a plot or a trick but you didn’t care. Getting up from your seat at the cinema, you quickly dashed out towards that scene that you recognised in the background of the footage you just saw, That beach. Something was not right and you knew it, but what was it? You couldn’t help but feel a sense of foreboding.

After what seemed like eternity, the breeze from the sea caressed you skin and the sound of crashing waves called from a distance. Closer and closer the distance between you and the beach began to shorten faster than you thought. You wanted to know, you needed to find out but at the same note you were afraid of something that your mind withheld from you.

You spent a few more minutes walking the sandy beach and before long you found yourself standing in front of a small hut. How or what led you there remained unknown but what you did know was that this hut meant something to you. The hut was just big enough for two people to fit inside. As you entered the hut, you realised that it was simple, with just a few items of furniture in it. At the centre of the wooden hut stood a round, dusty table surrounded by a few wooden chairs equally as dusty. Taking in the surroundings before you, an unknown sense of nostalgia stroked you like the waves of the sea, your subconscious knew this place but you couldn’t remember why.

Just as you were about to exit the room, the door opened and there stood Mikaze Ai, the mystery idol who appeared in the movie that was shown not too long ago. His blue eyes grew wide in surprise as he looked at her, relaxing after a while he moved towards you. “You came,” He said with a smile. “I’m back,” He continued. But why did you feel so sad seeing him.

You were speechless for a few moments before you opened your mouth to question him about the letter. He did not give you an answer but he could only look at you sadly. Strangely enough, you had a feeling that you had seen that face before. Then it hit you.

Fragments of memories began to flow into your mind like a blur of knowledge and in them was this same young man who stood before you. The fragments slowed and eventually stopped. In a single and particular fragment was a rather sad Mikaze Ai who was about to perform dressed in a white stage outfit. He smiled sadly and took his leave as everything blanked out again.

Warm tears started flowing down your cheeks as you moved closer towards the person who your locked memories revealed; he took your hand and placed it on his cheek. “I’m back,” He repeated and that was when you lost control and broke into tears. He gently put his arms around you and pulled you into a hug. “According to my data, it’s Valentine’s Day today,” which made you smile and chuckling as a your tears slowly but surely stopped falling.

“Of course, it’s Valentine’s Day. It’s February the 14th after all,” You pulled yourself away from the hug and wiped your tears with a wide grin.

“Ne, it’s a 50% possibility but would you be my valentine?"
