Ohayo! So tomorrow's Valentine's Day and I'll be off and working for the next few days, but I decided to give you guys a quick one-shot! Hope you all have a wonderful valentine's day tomorrow!!!!
LOVEEveryone always talks about this thing called Love…but what is love? I have no idea. Since joining AKB48 we’ve been forced to be single. However we also have to pretend that we know what love is. It’s hard. Well it’s hard for me. It’s Valentine’s day again. And yes I am going to be alone again. Well not really alone, just single alone. I still have the girls though. I guess having each other gets us to stop thinking about it. Every year we give each other Valentine’s day presents. This year we did something a bit different though. Usually all we do is go out for karaoke together and celebrate “Single Girls Valentine’s Day”. This year Yuko thought of an idea to make things a bit different and according to her “gives us an opportunity to feel like we have a partner”. Her idea is simple. We place into a box the name of members who we would want to date if they were men! Pretty much the idea came along after the episodes of Danso on AKBingo. In the end 9 girls were chosen to dress up as boys and pretty much become boyfriends to the rest of the girls for a night. The chosen 9 were, Mariko, Mayu, Haruna, Sae, Sayaka, Miichan, Rena, Tomochin and me… Yet again I had to dress up as Kai… Here we go!
The nine of us arrived at Karaoke first. We had all met up at Mariko’s house beforehand to get ready. After an hour of joking around we got dressed up into our “host” outfits. Pretty much you had Persona, Mariko sensei, Bartender Sae, Dr Mayu, Archer Rena, Delinquent School Boy Tomochin, and last but not least (lucky we chose her outfit this time) Businessman Sayaka (see better than MJ and whoever else she was trying to be the other day). As we arrived at the karaoke bar a group of girls began ogling at us we quickly ran into the V.I.P room Yuko had booked for us. We all sat down on the couch sighing.
“I wanted to be a girl tonight!!!” screamed Miichan as she pouted.
“Didn’t we all…” replied Tomochin who looked lifeless on the couch next to Miichan.
“I bet Takamina wanted to be a girl the most out of all of us” Mariko added whilst smirking. Confused I looked at her and the other members.
“Why do you say that?”
“Well since you are a male I figured you would want to know how it feels to be a girl for once” Mariko quickly replied. I instantly gave her a foul look as she continued to grin at me.
“Well I’m happy I’m a boy today!” Haruna said happily.
“Ergh…why’s that?” Mayu quickly asked.
“Hmm… because since my chest is bound Yuko can’t grope me!”
“That’s not true” replied Sae as Haruna looked at her confused. “Why do you think Yuko thought of this idea? Her plan all along must’ve been to get you to dress as a male so she could straddle you and make out with you whilst pretending you are her boyfriend”
Haruna’s eye widened and she quickly began crying on Mariko’s shoulder. Sae grinned and quickly latched onto Sayaka.
“I wanted to be a girl tonight so I could flirt with Sayaka but that didn’t happen” Sayaka blushed gently.
“Well I guess our job tonight is to give the rest of the girls a found memory for Valentines Day… However don’t flirt too much with them… they might fall for you and that wouldn’t be good.”
Although it seemed like she was talking to the entire group she was actually letting Sae know that she doesn’t want to see Yukirin all over her. Rena who was sitting quietly next to Takamina wasn’t listening at all. Instead she was imagining how she would catch Jurina’s heart tonight.
“Why don’t we play a game then!” Miichan said cheerfully. Everyone looked at her warily. Happy Miichan only meant something evil.
“What type of game?” Takamina asked.
“A love game.”
The girls looked at her confused. What was a love game?
“Okay so we will put all the girls names into a hat, and whoever we pick out we have to flirt with them the entire night despite other girls coming after us!”
“I’M IN!!!!” Haruna quickly responded. As long as it deters Yuko from fondling her she was ready to sacrifice herself to another girl. All the other girls on the other hand looked unsure. Most of the girls already had a girl in mind that they wanted to flirt with for the night. Miichan already predicted this was the case and slyly added.
“Well some of you already have someone you like… however, most of you aren’t willing to ask them out because you are scared you will get rejected. The girls looked nervously at each other. What she was saying was in fact true. “However, if we play this game… it could force the other girl to become jealous and admit their true feelings to you…”
“I already have a partner!” Sae said cheerfully whilst holding onto Sayaka. Miichan sighed and looked at her emotionlessly.
“Fine! You and Sayaka don’t have to play!”
“Oh don’t get angry! The two of us will still flirt with the girls to entertain them!”
“Yay!” Miichan clapped happily however immediately put her serious face back on. “Come on girls. This is your only chance”
All the girls slowly agreed except for Takamina who sat quietly unsure as to what she should do.
“What’s wrong Takamina? Don’t want Acchan to admit that she loves you!”
“A-acchan and I are just friends… there isn’t anyone I like… and I didn’t want to do this in the first place so I really don’t want to play this game”
“You can deny it all you want but even if you can’t tell, we can tell that Acchan likes you more than a friend.”
Sayaka put a hand on Takamina’s shoulder.
“Come on Takamina join in. It’s all about having fun.”
Looking up at Sayaka she nodded gently.
“Okay! It’s agreed! Let the games begin!” All the girls grabbed a name out of the hat.
Takamina’s eyes widened and she fell back on the couch immediately pretending to faint.
“Takamina!” Haruna quickly bent over to check if the girl was okay, however in the process noticed the name on Takamina’s slip of paper and began bursting out laughing. The girl’s looked at her confused until they heard Takamina’s weak voice accompanied by her fail at life expression.
“Majisuka…”
“SHE GOT MOCCHI!!!” Haruna yelled as she began hitting the couch whilst frantically laughing.
Everyone burst out laughing. Poor Takamina might actually give Mocchi the wrong idea now!
The door suddenly open and Yuko stood at the doorway smiling brightly as the rest of the girls stood behind her fangirling like crazy at the handsome hosts on the couches.
“Hello!!!” Yuko said cheerfully. “We’re here and ready to~” before she finished her sentence she had noticed the handsome Riku staring at her and instantly ran up and jumped on top of him straddling him. “Riku…” Haruna’s arms began pushing the girl off her lap.
“Get off me you Hentai!”
Well if Yuko can attack so can the rest of them! All the girls immediately began charging in towards their respective male crushes. Pushing each other off their prince. Takamina immediately ducked underneath the table to hide from the group of girls who were frantically hitting each other to get to her. Crawling along the ground she bumped into someone else. It was Riku. After pushing Yuko off he had immediately ducked under for safety. However before Kai would even say his comrades name Riku was being dragged back out from underneath the table screaming for help. Kai immediately began crawling faster scared the girls will reach in and pull him back out as well. Upon reaching the other side Kai immediately commando rolled out and stood up to make a getaway. However he was caught immediately.
“You can’t leave Kai.” Takamina turned around scared that she had been caught by Mocchi. However he was faced by Miichan who had an evil smirk on her face.
“Let go of me!!!!”
“No way! How am I going to set you and Acchan up if you leave!”
“I DON’T WANT TO BE SET UP WITH ACCHAN!” I pull my arm out of Miichan’s grip and turn towards the door. However before I could take another step my body ceases to move. I’m staring straight into her teary eyes. I watch as she turns and sprints out the door way where she was standing.
“Acchan…” What had I done… Staring blankly at the ground my thoughts are distorted.
“GO AFTER HER!” I feel my body being pushed by Miichan from behind. My body jolts forwards and staggers on the ground. “YOU’RE GONNA LOSE HER FORVER IF YOU DON’T!!”
I begin to slowly drift forward my legs dragging behind me. Acchan…Acchan…Acchan… My chest is hurting… why do I feel so empty… I look up at the empty door way. I ground my foot down solidly on my next step. Pushing my foot off the floor I feel as the adrenaline rushes through my veins. I feel as my body automatically begins to sprint forward.
Rushing through the doors I begin to look around aimlessly whilst running through the karaoke bar. Running out the main entrance I watch as the lift doors slowly close as she stands in the middle of them. Her eyes buried in her hands, her body bent over. I sprint forward and slam into the wall, my fingers pushing at the button endlessly. As I watch the lift numbers descending I look around for the staircase. Pushing myself off the wall and stumbling towards the fire exit I push the doors wide open and begin sprinting down the flights of stairs.
Upon reaching the last lot of stairs I trip over half way down the stair case. My body crashing down the stairs in thorough pain. Pushing myself off the ground using the rail as a support I feel pain rushing through my body. As I step forward I feel a piercing pain in my ankle. As I grab the wall for support I hear myself scream as my dislocated finger presses against the wall. Looking at the doorways I drag myself forward. Pushing the door open I collapse on the ground. Grinding my teeth in pain I look up through my teary eyes as her figure slowly exits through the door.
Pushing myself up I hobble forward. Not caring as the passersby watch and whisper behind my back. Moving through the automatic doors I see her ahead of me. She waves down a taxi and is slowly opening the door. I feel as tears stream down my cheeks. I wasn’t crying because my body was hurting, I was crying because I felt the emptiness of my heart as I watch her fragile body moving further away from me. Falling forward on my weaken knees I let out a painful scream as my heart shreds open. Can she hear my heart calling out to her… my body is motionless, my thoughts are blank, is this what it feels like to lose the person you love…
I feel as the scarlet blood streams down my forehead.
“Acchan…” My hand reaches out towards the darkness in front of me as the blood trickles over my eye lid. My head slowly descends against the ground. All I hear is the people who have encircled me, whispering nonchalantly amongst themselves. Seems no one can help me stop her…
Suddenly I feel as a shadow casts above me. A tender arm lifting up my lifeless body, a soft hand brush away the blood covering my face, a tear drop on my neck, and soft lips against mine. I slowly open my eyes to stare at the white figure before me.
“I love you…will you be my valentine…”
She nods her head slowly as her lips quiver against mine. All I can feel in the warmth of her body against me. I never want this warmth to disappear from me ever again.
So this is what love is…
