A Teasing Love

Yume's POV

I sigh as I'm now staring at the grey wall in front of me.

It's been almost 10 minutes since me and Subaru are locked in here.

We tried to use our phones to ask for help but we have two problems: one, mine was out of battery and two, Subaru's phone didn't catch network here. It was useless to knock or yell because nobody goes here unless it has a motive: this part of the school was only warehouses and pantries to pack up the things we use in shows, plays, etc...

And now, me and Subaru are sitting with a little distance between us, quiet, just staring at whatever we want.

"I'm sorry." He suddenly says.

I look at him. And I'm a bit surprised to see Subaru the way he was.

A small window was on the top of the wall and a few wires of moonlight were hitting his face, giving him an unreal air. The moon was already out there but was only 18:40.

"It wasn't your fault." I affirm.

"But..."

"You have not been here for a long time so it's only natural that you did not know that the door had a problem." I interrupt him.

Subaru had already apologized but it wasn't his fault. I know that but he doesn't seem to accept it.

He sighs, with a guilty face, in defeat.

I don't really know what to do. In the times that me and Subaru were together, we mostly talked about our Aikatsu or, more recently, about the movie.

My eyes widened at the thought that I don't know almost nothing about Subaru. Thoughts suddenly pop in my mind as I recall my remembrances with him: how he helped me to get over my audition to Song Class; how he tried to cheer me up when I couldn't sell a single ticket for my first live; when he lent me a CD about the program that both of us were gonna to attend; when I call him my rival and he promised to give everything of him in each concert.

Although he has helped me so many times, I have never really shown interest about him. That realization that I had been so indifferent to him made my stomach sink.

Then, another thought crossed my mind. And I smile.

"Hey, Subaru-kun?" I call him.

He looks at me.

"Do you know that american show called "The Big Bang Theory"?"

"Of course!" He says enthusiastically. "I love it!"

The way he said it made me giggle a bit but I think he didn't notice.

"Well, did you see the episode where Sheldon and Penny went to her apartment to make a quiz about each other? To get to know each other better?" (season 8 episode 16)

"Yes but I think that was to test if they would fall in love with each other." He says.

"Technically yes, but it also serves for getting to know the other person better." I contradict him.

"But getting to the point" I continue "I think that we should try that."

"Hum?" He asks confused.

"We are in a movie where our characters know each other since childhood. We won't convince anyone if we, at least, don't know basic stuff about the two of us." I affirm "Since we have time..." I murmur but enough loudly for him to hear.

He seems like he is considering my offer but then he talks.

"Why not?"

Laura's POV

Yume hasn't arrive to our meeting yet.

She isn't responding to my texts and calls and I'm starting to get worried. She isn't like this.

I call to the girls and they said all the same: that they don't know where she is. So, we combine to meet at the front of the S4 building.

When I reach the building, Ako, Yuzu and Mahiru were already there. Koharu arrived seconds after.

"So no one really knows about Yume?" Mahiru asks, worried.

"No..." I sigh. "We combined to meet 10 minutes ago but she hasn't come yet. And she is not the type to be late and not warn first."

"What now?" Ako questions.

I was thinking when I heard some voices coming from behind us.

"But where can he be?" A familiar voice said.

And soon, three figures appear.

"I don't know. That's why we are..." Kanata not finished his sentence because he saw us.

"Hi Onee-chan!" Asahi greets to Mahiru. "And girls." He added, smiling.

"Hi Nee-san!" Mahiru greets back. The rest of us just waves.

"What are you all doing here?" Ako asks.

"We are looking for Subaru." Kanata answers.

"In the girl's side?" Ako frowns.

"We are running out of options." He says with a small smile.

"Wait..." I process what they said. "Subaru is missing?"

"Yes. We combined to meet to practice for a concert but he is late and he hasn't warn us. And that's very unlike him." Nozomu says.

"Yume is missing too ... Koharu murmurs loudly. "And she hasn't answer warn us too."

"Perhaps they are together?" Mahiru proposes "They must have arrived together to the school since they are in the same movie."

"But if that's the case, why haven't them answer to our messages and calls?" Asahi questions.

"I dunno..." I say.

"Okay!" Yuzu exclaims. "Since we are so many, why don't we split up? You know, to cover a larger area."

We look to each other and we all nodded.

"Very well" She makes a thoughtful face. "So the pairs can be: Koharu with Asahi, Ako and Kanata, Mahiru with Nozomu and me and Laura." She proposes, smiling.

I see that Ako was gonna to protest but I quickly say:

"The sooner we start, the faster we find them and this will be over."

She looks at me and lets out a sigh.

"Let's get started!" Yuzu says enthusiastically.

We all go different ways with our pairs.

Where are you Yume?
