A Teasing Love

Stumbling

Yume's POV

"WHAT?!" Ako shouted.

Me, Koharu, Laura and the rest of S4 -excepts Yuzu; she was out for an audition - are now sitting at the table of S4. I was telling them about my first day at the movie. When I reach the part where Subaru was making the role of my best friend, Ako freaked out.

"Calm down Ako" Mahiru said "It is just a movie"

"I don't care if is just a movie, I wanna be with Subaru-kyun! It is so unfair!" She bumped with her head at the table.

"I don't understand Ako-chan. What is the problem that me and Subaru-kun are in the same drama?" I ask.

She lifts up her head. " It is a romantic drama!" Ako bumps her head in the table again.

"And?" She does not respond to me. Instead she sighs deeply.

"You don't understand why is she like this, do you Yume?" Laura asks. I shake my head and she sighs.

"She is with fear that you and Subaru fall in love with each other!"

"Pfft..." I try not to laugh but it is useless. "Me ... a-and him?" I say between laughs.

When I calm down, I try to reassure Ako.

"Ako, me and Subaru are just friends" And rivals. "I can assure you"

She stays quiet but I can see a small smile in her face. That makes me smile too.

"I have to go to a photoshoot" Mahiru says as she gets up with her Aikatsu mobile in her hand "See you later girls" She waves at us.

"Bye!" We all say in unisson.

"So... do you know if Subaru-kyun liked the basket with bananas that I sent to his dressing room?" Ako asks.

"It was you?" I exclaimed.

She giggles.

Mahiru's POV

While I'm walking towards the front gate, I start to see my schedule for today. After the photo shoot, I still had a guest appearance, recordings for my show and for a commercial, and an autograph session. I sigh.

I was so focused on my phone that I didn't notice that a stone was in my way until I tripped in it.

My only reaction was yell and close my eyes, preparing for the shock. But it never came. Instead, I feel arms around me.

I slowly open my eyes to meet a pair of purple eyes.

"Thanks Nozomu-kun" I say relieved.

"You're welcome. I could never let a lady fall in front of me" He says with a charming smile.

I just roll my eyes with a smile on my face.

But then I realize how we are. His hands were in my back and my hands were in his shoulders. And our faces were closer than I would like. I move away.

He looks down and picks up something. I realize that was my phone. It must have fallen when I grabbed Nozomu's shoulders.

"It looks like you have a busy day" He says "Oh, sorry. I didn't want to look at your phone without your permission" He seems embarrassed.

"It is okay" He gives my phone back "But yes, it's true. Today is a particular busy day" I sigh.

"Why are making that face?" He asks.

"Hum?" I ask confused.

"You look like you are tense"

"Oh..." Well I guess he is right. This week has been a rush and I think I need really to rest. But only when all my work is over. "It has been a little stressful week. But I am perfectly fine!" The last thing I need is to someone worrying about me.

He doesn't seem convinced but he changes the subject.

"Are you going to the front gate?"

I nod my head.

"Do you mind if I make you company?"

I wasn't expecting the question but I quickly hide my surprise.

"Of course not!" I answer.

We start walking.

"You know..." He starts "I know that it's not of my business but if you want to feel more relaxed, I recommend you to try yoga"

I stare at him. Not knowing what to say.

"I'm saying this because you look tense and yoga can be really good to relax and to concentrate" He continues "At least, it helped me"

"It helped you?"

"Yes. In my first year in the M4, I was always stressed. I had so many things to do and I wanted all to be perfect. I didn't want to disappoint my fans and the ones who supported me. So my senpai told me to try yoga. I took his advice and it really helped" He smiles. Maybe remembering back those times.

I stare at him. Seeing that we have that in common. I also don't want to disappoint my fans. friends and my family. Especially my siblings, Yozora and Asahi.

"Arigato for the advice, Nozomu-kun" I say smiling "I will try that!"

We arrive at the front gate and my car is already there.

"Thanks again" I say "For everything"

He makes his charming smile again and I enter the car.

Now I can see why he is so popular and the reason to why girls like him so much.

He really is sweet.

Hey guys!

I hope you are enjoying this story. At least, I am enjoying writing it.

I know that many of you must ship Nozomu x Aria (honestly, I ship them a little) or Nozomu x Laura. But before Aria, I wanted Mahiru and Nozomu to end up together so I will make them a couple.

But don't worry because the relationship between Aria and Nozomu will be discussed too.

And did you see in episode 88 that Subaru was watching Yume stage? And his smile! SO CUTE!!

Xau!
