Elegant Artist (Fuuto x OC)

Start of Something New

"Of course, I'd love to," I say, overjoyed.

"Great, I want you to start recording immediately. I'm guessing you have some songs already written for yourself," she says, leading me towards the elevator.

"I do," I think back to my home town and Fuuto. "Would it be possible for me to record the songs from..."

"You're going to record the songs in the studio in this building"

"Wait, does that mean I have to move to the U.S?"

"Exactly, I've already got all the paperwork needed signed. You just need to sign it then you're officially allowed to live in the U.S!" She says excitedly, stepping out of the elevator into the recording room.

"What?" I ask breathlessly. "Are you serious?"

"Dead, dead serious. I know, it's a lot to take in but you'll get used to the quick life of a pop star. Do you have any songs on you now? I don't know why I didn't ask you before I brought you down here," she chuckles a little bit.

"No, I have one on my phone"

"Great! We can add music later, right now let's just work on vocals"

I step into the booth and stand in front of the microphone, waiting for Claire to give me the signal. She gives me a thumbs up and I start singing when I'm ready. I finish, looking at her uncertainly.

"Are you sure this isn't taking it too fast?"

She waves a hand at me. "Nah, the sooner we get this finished the better. I want you to be famous asap"

I nod. "Will I not even get to visit my friends?"

"You will, after you're done with your tours, fan meetings, paparazzi, interviews, merchandise making and selling," she lists them off on her fingers. "Oh, and we can't forget about song writing, singing and most importantly concerts... am I missing anything?"

"That's a lot"

"Like I said, you'll get used to the hustle and bustle. It takes getting used to, but you will absolutely fall in love with the feeling of being loved by almost everyone"

"Ok," I say, stepping out of the small room.

"Thinking about your future, how do you feel about being a triple threat?"

"How?"

"You know, singing, acting, dancing"

"I used to help one of my friends out with his acting if that helps"

"Great! For now we can work on your singing career, then your acting! Dancing will be with the singing because you need to dance at concerts"

"Ok. I have another quick question"

"Shoot"

"Where am I going to stay?" I ask.

"You'll stay in this building," she explains. "I have a couple floors of living space, for some of my clients who can't afford their own place yet"

"So... I'm living here from now on?"

She nods. "Yep, I'll have your things sent over-"

"Do you mind if I go and get them myself? I'd like to say a couple goodbyes if that wouldn't be too much"

"It'll be hard to fit into your schedule," she says.

"Schedule?"

"Yeah, I've already started planning it out in my head. Anyway, I'll keep a day or two free for you to go and get the things you want"

"Thank you," I say with a small smile.

She takes out her phone, quickly typing something in. "Alright, I have a private jet set up for you, a limo is on the way to get you now"

"That was quick"

"That's what life is going to be like from now on," she says happily. "The limo's here, c'mon we don't have all day"

The ride to the airport was long but the plane ride was even longer. I arrived back home, walking gloomily into the house. Fuuto rushes up to me, engulfing me in a very tight hug like I had been gone forever.

"I missed you," he says.

"I've been gone only a couple days. I'm back earlier than I was supposed to be"

"I'm guessing it was because you missed me" he says, pulling away and putting his hands on my cheeks.

"It's because I said yes," I mumble quietly.

"Yes? To what?"

I take his hands off of my cheeks, holding them. I drag him out of the front entrance towards my room.

"I was signed by the record label"

"That's great!" He exclaims.

"I'm moving to the U.S," I tell him.

"Really? But you said you wouldn't move"

I look at the ground, crossing my arms, trying to hide myself from the shattered look in his eyes. I step out onto the balcony, getting one last look at the view I loved. Tears start coming from my eyes at the thought of leaving this place.

Fuuto comes and stands beside me. He makes me turn to face him and wipes away the tears that fell down my cheeks. He pulls me in for another hug and I wrap my arms around him, burying my face in his neck. He starts humming one of the songs I wrote, then starts singing. I start singing along in harmony with him.

He pulls away and lifts my chin up slightly. "Promise you'll sing a duet with me when you're famous"

"I promise. I also promise I'll visit whenever I can and that I'll keep in contact"

He kisses me gently, longingly. It lasts for a very memorable moment, but not as long as I would've liked it to. He leans his forehead against mine, pulling my body even closer to his.

"I love you, I always will," he whispers.

"I'll come back, do not give up on me, I won't give up on you. We will stick together through this, even though we are on separate sides of the earth. I won't stop writing music for you"

"Thank you, for everything"

"I should be thanking you"

"Why? You're the one who is writing my songs"

"You're being so supportive of this. This is the start of my new life, I want you to continue being apart of it"
