Fate [Ai Mikaze x Reader]

Chapter 3 - My Friends And Other Kind Of Animals

"He is unfamiliar with human feelings and is confused about things that can't be logically explained. He is also innocent and stubbornly clings to facts and numbers."

"Heartbreak... How could I possibly write a song if I don't even know what it means...?"

I was munching on the tip of my pen, staring at the paper in front of me.
How come Mikaze doesn't know what heartbreak means? Is he that unfamiliar with feelings and emotions? This is weird... Something's off.
"You haven't written anything in the past 659.8 seconds. That makes 11 minutes."
I jumped. As I looked up, my eyes immediately met with teal colored ones.
How does he even count that!?
"Um... s-sorry Mikaze-senpai, my thoughts wandered off a bit."
"Whatever you're thinking, it's most possibly not as important as work. Please continue composing."
I couldn't help but chew on my lips. "Once again, isn't composing, like, a composer's job?"
"In the first few of our lessons, I'd like to see your abilities in what it takes to be an idol. As in singing, composing, dancing, acting and so on," he explained. As the days passed, I started to get more and more weirded out by the fact that he rarely speaks with any emotions whatever in his voice.
So far I only saw him a bit annoyed... What could--?
"You are dozing off again." he snapped his fingers in front of my face again.
"S-Sorry..."
What is your secret, Ai Mikaze... I probably should get to the bottom of this some time.
Mikaze poked the empty music sheet in front of me. I sighed and turned to my table again, returning to bite at the end of my pen. I swear I will end up swallowing it.
Oh man... I haven't composed since I was like, seven. Oh well. Melody, come at me!..... Wait, that sounded gay.
I shook my head and narrowed my eyes in focus.
I started writing a few random notes that came to my mind. I just wrote down whatever.
"I see that you're not taking this seriously."
I looked up. Mikaze was leaning over my shoulder, looking from the paper to me.

Just go on. It's not like you are violating my personal space or anything.

"Far too easy-going, uncatchy and childish. Only a seven-year-old would write something like this." he continued.

You know that's not constructive criticism, that's simply being mean.

"Well, that's what I can do. Still not a composer." I hissed through my gritted teeth.
"Looks like I will have a harder time with you than I thought I will have..." he muttered, removing his pretty face from my private zone.

Oh on the grave of my mother, I wish you would be locked in a room full of Nagis screaming the Spongebob theme song so you get the most horrible brain stroke and your brain juice is boiling in THREE POTS OF GOULASH YOU LITTLE SON OF A--

A simple ringtone started screaming, interrupting my inside raging.
Mikaze got out his cellphone.
"You are dismissed." he said simply, muttering a small "Hello," before leaving the room.
I took a deep breath, smiling ironically to myself.
"... I'm.... calm..."
"A-I~A-I!!!" I heard a male voice scream making me jump.
Then, the music room's door basically crashed open, revealing a brunette who seemed slightly shorter than Mikaze.

Ah.

Reiji Kotobuki, a bandmate of Mikaze. He is a real charmer, smiles a lot and warms up to people super fast. People tend to call him either childish or nice, it depends on the person. He is very hyper and sometimes trusts people too much. Due to what Father said, he sometimes has a confidence problem, calling himself a 'dangerous man'. He has chocolate brown hair and more brownish hazel eyes.

"Eeeh? No Ai-Ai." the man pouted, then his hazel eyes turned to me. "... Oooh... A mysterious person in the music room!"
I sweatdropped a bit. "I-"
"Oh wait! Don't tell me. I know who you are! You are Ai-Ai's new Kouhai-chan, aren't you? What's-the-name... [F/N]?"
"I... am." I slowly nodded, putting my fake smile on my face. "And you'd be the famous Rei-chan?" I added, using the nickname I heard he prefers.
"Right in front of you~ Yoroshiku-ma-cho-cho~" he gave me a wink.
"Rei-chan, wait up!" I heard another voice, then moments later a red-haired guy popped up in the doorway, trying to catch his breath. "Gee, don't just run off like that, leaving me on my lonesome with Tokiya! You know how scary he can be..."
