UtaPri: Ai x Reader

Ch. 10

~*~* Time skip: Seven months~*~*

We started singing once more. I played the piano, and QUARTET NIGHT sang in harmony.

It's been about seven months since our birthday. And about half of those moths, I spent away from my friends busy with work. On those days, I would crawl under the bed with Ai, and take in his scent, his warmness.

Miraculously, we were never caught. We were lucky. God must've blessed our love. Let's hope.

There was laughing. We all looked around wildly. Shining must've been here somewhere.

"Hhhhhhhhheeeeeellllllloooooo!" He said, popping out of the piano.

I screamed, and jumped back. How did he get in there?!

"I have a new group debuting. Their name is-"

"STARISH, deshou?" Ai finished, helping me up.

"Yyyyyyeeeesssss, ttthhhhaaaatttt iiiiissss rrriiiigggghhhhhttr, Mmmiiissstttteeerrrr Ai." Shining said, pointing at Ai. "Aaaaaannnnnndddddd, I would like you judge them. Be there tomorrow at seven! The same place you debuted! Thank you!"

He hopped out of the piano, and out the window.

"He always gives us last minute stuff, huh?" Rei-chan asked.

"Tell me something I don't know." Ranmaru said, rolling his eyes. "I'll have to get out my formal punk clothes again."

I rolled my eyes. "Hai, hai," I said. "You're boys, I get it. It's a pain to dress formal, I get it."

Rei-chan nodded in a agreement. "I'm so glad you understand our gender, __________."

I rolled my eyes. "Rei-chan that was... Never mind. Never mind."

Rei-chan blinked innocently. Ranmaru smirked. We were both thinking the same thing. Sometimes Rei-chan was such an idiot.

We sat on the second level. I bounced excitedly in my seat between Rei-chan and Ai. Ai had his hand around my waist.

Suddenly, the lights dimmed, and the black screen held silhouettes of six boys in each color except green.

"Are you ready?" Six voices called.

And six pairs of boys flew on stage.

"Oh, they're cute," I teased Ai, whose hand tightened around my waist.

They started to sing something Shining said was called Maji Love 1000%. "They're... Okay, maybe." I said, unsure.

"They're not worth anything." Ranmaru said, rolling his eyes.

"That was awesome!" Rei-chan cried.

"Meh." Camus said.

"They've piqued my curiosity." Ai said. "I want to see how much they can take until they crumble."

"Ai-kun, that's horrible!" I cried.

He gave me a quick smile. "I'm just kidding." He said. "Maybe..."

~*~* Time Skip ~*~*

As everyone filed out after the concert, Shining came up to us. "Weeelllll, what did think?" He asked us.

"They're not worth anything!" Ranmaru stated sharply.

"I liked them!" Rei-chan defended.

"They weren't that good." Camus said.

"I don't think they're fit to be pros." Ai said.

Then, everyone turned to me.

"A-Ano..." I thought. "Ano, I think that... They aren't worth to be idols. They're no worth their salt."

The boys stared at me, dumbfounded. I even surprised myself. Since when did I critics anyone that hard?!

"I see you're changing, Miss __________." Shining said, nodding. "But let me see your reactions when I make them your kohais."

He then disappeared, as usual.

"Kohais?!" Ranmaru, Camus, and Ai cried in dismay.

"Ohhhhh! I've never had a kohai before!" I cried.

"Waii! So excited!" Rei-chan cried.

What happened next was probably the biggest chapter of our lives.
