Chapter eight: Matsuura Aya
Miki and I became fast friends after Gomattou. I can’t recall a day when we didn’t talk or at least see each other. Eventually it came down to when I didn’t seen Tan, I somehow took the Miki part of her nick name Miki-tan out…I thought it was cute, I was thinking of her…in ways I probably shouldn’t have been.
Whenever I was around her my heart would beat really fast and I would get these urges to just kiss her. I wanted to tell her how I felt…but something was holding me back. Most of the time it seemed like Tan felt the same because she always brightened up around me. But I guess I’m just scared…
I’ll do it. I’ll tell her tonight.
I sat on my couch patiently waiting for the doorbell to ring. Tan had called earlier and asked if she could come over. This wasn’t unusual that we would hang out…but with Tan being such a homebody she usually asked if I would meet her at her house.
I looked at the clock, it was about six thirty…she said she would be here at six thirty.
Six thirty one.
Six thirty tw-
I heard a loud knock at the door and sprang too my feet. “Coming!”
I walked over and opened the door. “Tan…” my voice trailed off. She seemed gloomy…this was unusual.
“Hey Aya,” she smiled weakly and walked into my apartment. I closed the door behind her and stood there looking at her confused.
She had sat down on my couch with that unusually gloomy expression. Even when she is sad she’s gorgeous.
She looked up, “You okay?”
I glanced over at the clock.
Six forty…whoops been staring a little too long.
“Oh yea I’m fine.” I walked over and sat down next to her. “But, are you?”
She looked down at her hands that were resting in her lap. She seemed to be contemplating something. “Tan?”
After a moment of hesitation she finally spoke without really moving, “I just got out of a meeting with Tsunku.”
A meeting? Usually that’s something good unless you really screwed up. Was Tan going to be fired already? She just started and was extremely successful! She had a tour coming up soon too…
“And…?”
She sighed, “I’m going to be joining Morning Musume with the six generation.”
I smiled brightly, “That’s great Tan! Isn’t this what you’ve been hoping for?”
She smiled a little, but didn’t say anything. I bit my bottom lip. What could be wrong with Tan?
Suddenly she looked up at me seriously, “What if they don’t like me? I mean, I was a solo artist first and I even failed the audition!” She stood up and paced around the room. “What was he even thinking putting me in that group now?! I don’t get it.” She glared out the window. “I’ve been very successful haven’t I!? I’m so mad at him…” She crossed her arms and puffed out her cheeks staring out the window in pure rage. Although when I looked at Tans eyes I could tell she wasn’t really that upset.
I walked over and stood next to her looking out the window with her. “So you’re upset Tsunku’s taking away your solo career?” I paused, “Or is there something else?”
She dropped her arms to her side and sighed the anger completely leaving her. “I’m just afraid.”
This statement actually threw me off. I wasn’t sure how to respond. Tan always seemed like the fearless one. She was so cool, she even could get angry at people to there face. She didn’t seem to care what people thought and here she was admitting to me that she was scared. She must be really scared to be able to admit something like that to me.
I didn’t respond then I felt her grab my hand. “Aya, did you hear me? I’m scared…what do I do?”
She looked at me and I saw it…vulnerability.
Tan was so fragile right now and I wasn’t sure what to do because just at her touch my heart had started to beat like crazy once again and that urge came back. No Aya now is not the time…Tan needs a friend right now.
“Just be yourself and don’t worry about it.” I smiled, “They’re going to love having you in the group: the fans and the other members.” I squeezed her hand in reassurance. “Trust me.”
She smiled and then I was suddenly pulled into a hug. “I knew you would make me feel better Ayaya. You always manage to somehow.”
I held onto her close. I didn’t want to let go. I just wanted to stay here forever with Tan in my arms.
“Uh Aya?”
“Yes?”
“We’ve been standing her for about ten minutes…”
I suddenly realized she was gently pulling away from me. I released her quickly, “Oh sorry, I just couldn’t help it…er…uh…” I looked down at the floor and blushed deeply. When I looked back up Tan was staring at me puzzled. I turned away and walked to the other side of the room. “So, uh you wanna watch TV?”
I looked back over at her. She was still looking at me very confused. Crap…
My eyes darted around the room trying to look at anything but Tan because my heart was still racing. But I couldn’t help it and I ended up looking back at Tan. But this time…was she smirking?
She walked over to me, yep that was a smirk. “Aya?”
I couldn’t tear my eyes away from her. “Uh yea?”
“Is there something you would like to tell me?”
“Not particularly.” She raised an eyebrow at me.
Tan completely had the upper hand right now. She must be able to read minds or something. Or I’m just that bad at not showing how much I really want her.
She seemed to be enjoying the power she had over me for the next thing I knew she had wrapped her arms around my waist and was smiling seductively at me. “Really now?”
I nodded trying not to look into her eyes.
“I’m having a hard time believing that.” She tipped my chin up with one hand forcing me to look her in the eye.
Then out of complete impulse I leaned in and did what I had been craving for so long. Tan didn’t seem to mind at all; actually I almost immediately felt her lips moving against mine. Then the kiss ended and I could even see a slight blush on her. I’m sure I was as red as a clown’s nose though.
