UtaPri: Ai x Reader

Ch. 17

I walked down the halls the next week, glowing with pride. The UtaPri award... I've been dreaming of winning that award forever. Shining had called me to his office again, and I opened the door, to find a very dreamy-like Natsuki.
"Miss _________," Shining said. "You will doing a solo photo shoot for stylish women clothing tomorrow. It will be-"
"It'll be in the same building as mine!" Natsuki interrupted. "In fact, it'll be on the same floor!"
"Hai," Shining said, looking pretty annoyed since he was interrupted. "Dismissed."
Natsuki suddenly grabbed my hand, and ran with me out the door, through the halls, and out to the garden.
"Chotto, Natsuki-kun!" I cried.
"Waaiiii!" He cried. "I have a job!"
"Natsuki-kun!" I cried.
All the STARISH members looked our way.
"Minna, kiite kudasai!" He said. "I have a gravure photo shoot! It sounds like a strong, manly, and mature job!"
They STARISH members and Haruka seemed quiet. I wonder what they were thinking about.
"And, guess what?! ______-senpai has a photo shoot before mine and she will show me some of the expectations!" He said.
"I-I will?!" I asked, but, then, caught Syo kinda staring me down. "O-of course I will, Natsuki-kun!"
"Hai, I'll go!" He said. "Practice, practice!"
I was puzzled. "Ano... What's he going to practice for?"
Haruka was pulled aside by Syo, and then, we heard, "EH?!?!?!"
"Nani?" The STARISH members asked.
"Alright," Syo said, "You guys should know that Natsuki has a double personality- Satauki. And, whenever he takes off those glasses, Satsuki appears. And, when we put the glasses back on, he becomes Natsuki again, with no memory about what he did as Satsuki."
They pushed around old memories, I heard one about a HAYATO concert.
"You better be careful, senpai," Syo said.
I nodded. Whatever could happen that Natsuki would be forced to take off his glasses?

~*~* Le Time Skips ~*~*

It was about eight in the morning as crept down the halls of the boys' dorms. I opened the door, and took in the sight. Ai was on his computer, as usual, thinking very hard about something. Syo was prepping Natsuki about something.
"Jikan da," I said, startling everyone.
Syo clapped Natsuki on the back, and Ai stood up.
"Ai-kun?" I asked. "You have a day off?"
He nodded, putting an arm around my shoulder. "Some one has to watch you, ne?"
I blushed, "Hai."

In the car, all four of us were chattering away. Yes, all four of us. Haruka insisted tHt she should come and watch me and Natsuki. As soon as the car pulled up, I popped out and made a dash for the building.
"__________," Ai called behind me. "Matte yo!"
I laughed as I entered the elevator and held it open. Ai came in after a minute and the kohais piled in after three minute.
"Ano," Haruka asked. "How will you try on each outfit? You won't undress in front of everyone, will you?"
I laughed. "Of course I will."
Ai's eyes widened, Natsuki smiled uncomfortably, my kohai looked away.
I stared at Ai. "Iya! Ecchi!"
He blushed. "Iie! It's not like that!" He protested.
I laughed again. "Kohai, I'll have to lightning changed. Take a few photos with one outfit, go to the dressing room, change lightning quick, and repeat the process."
She seemed to visibly relax. Natuski got comfortable again and Ai looked a bit disappointed.
The elevator opened to our floor, and I rushed to room number two. As soon as I entered, I was tossed back and forth. Hair, makeup, clothes, then, I was thrown onto the green screen.
"Okay, _________-san," they said. "Show us your bold side! Be bold!"
I placed my heads on my hips and leaned forward with a confident smile. "Like this?"
"Like that!" The photographer cried.
I struck a few more poses, and then, they wanted an outfit change.

Ai's POV:

I watched as _________ struck poses. I saw that she was having fun. This time, she was wearing the cutest outfit I had ever seen her wear. A bow sash balloon skirt, tights with small bear designs, white rain boots with gold and brown boots, (your zodiac sign) tee, and a teddy bear hoodie.
"Go ahead, __________-san," the stage crew said. "Fun! Pop!"
_________ bent both legs inward, place her left hand on her knee, and put a peace sign. Pose after adorable pose, my heart was skipping beat after beat.
I saw the kohais watch her in awe.
Then, __________ disappeared into her dressing room again.
"__________-Senapi segoi yo, ne?" Natsuki said. "And she's-"
He stopped in mid sentence. And I turned to see what he was looking at. _________ wore a deep brown and iced coffee colored apron-overlay dress, a brown mini top hat with a golden feather, and crisscross brown and gold socks. No gloves, no shoes, not even makeup.
"That's it, __________-san! Natural beauty princess!" The photographer cried.
She twirled, her hair whipping around her face, her skirt tying around her legs.
"K-" I started. "Kawaii."
The kohais didn't hear me. But, somehow she did. I saw her stop in midpose, blush, and look away.
The photographer took the shot. That was the best pose I saw her strike that day.

Your POV:
I held hands with Ai as we watched Natsuki do his gravure shoot. He was struggling with the idea of strong.
Then, we went to the roof for lunch.
"Ne, senpai," he said, we all sat in a circle. Natsuki next to me on my left, Ai on my right, and between the two were Haruka. "How do you pose as strong?"
I thought about it. "Everyone has a different ideas of strong. Everyone has different strengths. You just have to realize your own strengths."
He nodded, still looking pretty down. "Right, and maybe I could change my look!" The photographer even suggested I take off my glasses!"
"Dame, Natsuki-kun!" I cried.
Too late, Satsuki was released.
"Nani?! A spilt personality?!" Ai cried as Haruka explained the situation.
I picked up his glasses, and rushed at him. He took my hand, twisted it hard enough that I dropped the glasses. He hugged me tight. "Ne, Senapi. Do think if I'm strong enough, I could beat all of your crummy songs? Even take you as my own?" He said, leaning in.
"Iya da!" I said, hitting his chest with a punch.
He grunted and stumbled backward. He glared at me. He cheated at me, but then the door to the roof opened. Otoya, Tokiya, and Syo walked in.
"Ano, Natsuki, where are your glasses?" Otoya asked.
"Baka!" Ai yelled. "That's Satsuki, not Natsuki!"
Satsuki turned around and jumped onto the grapevine holder (sorry, I don't know what it's called). Suddenly, Masato and Ren come into the scene.
Syo is launched onto the grapevine holder, and misses Satsuki as he tries to put on the glasses.
Satsuki jumps off, throwing a net over all the kohais, only Haruka, Ai, and I are left. He grabs me roughly by the wrist. "Hanashite yo!" I yelled, trying to pull away.
"Iya, senpai," he said. "Ikimashou."
Then, a hand grabs my other wrist. "Hanashite, kohai." Ai said dangerously.
Satsuki smirks, and suddenly lets me go. I stumble into Ai's chest. Haruka runs after Satsuki. He almost closes the door on her fingers, but, he lets her in. The STARISH boys try to get in, but the door's locked.
They give up trying to open the door. "Haruka will take care of it." I said nonchalantly.
"Baka ka omae?! She's with Satsuki!" Syo cried.
I gave him a death glare. "Know you place, kohai." Ai said for me.
"H-hai," he muttered.
"If you didn't notice, kohai. That boy has a soft spot for Haruka. She'll get him through it."
After a few minutes, the door opened, and Natsuki's photo shoot resumed.

~*~* Time Skip!~*~*

It was dark, and we were outside. Just me and Ai.
"Ne, Ai-kun," I said. "What did you say to me during the photo shoot?"
He blushed and looked away. "Betsuni."
"Ne, Ai-kun?" I said, leaning on his shoulder. "Say it to me again."
He blushed. "__________," he said. "K-kawaii."
I hugged him. "I know I am."
He rolled his eyes. "And conceited."
"I know that, too."
"But, I love you either way." He said.
"And you can't wait until I get asked to do a bathing suit photo shoot, ne?" I teased.
His eyes widened, and I thought I saw his nose bleed a little.
I got up and started to run. "Iya, ecchi!"
"Iie, ________!" Ai cried, taking off after me. "It's not like that!"
I laughed into the cool silent night.

Yup! I love this episode too! Sorry, I kinda got lazy toward the end.
And, my dedicated readers, answer me this: did I make you heart go Doki~ Doki~?
