File #10: Acchan’s Wicked Ways--
Top Idol. That’s what she heard people refer to her ever since AKB48’s fame escalated. Being treated like royalty and being regarded by other idols like her in such high dignity means only one thing. Her dreams already came true. This is what she wants, what they want, with the other members she’d been through thick and thin. They’re not a nobody anymore, and for five years of suffering and hardworking, she can now proudly say they deserved to be called as the number one idol group in Japan.
But just like what other says, ‘with great fame-ness comes great responsibility’ or so, or not? Whatever, the point was, there’s lot work offers now, here and there. She worked too much that when she got home she would go straight to her bed with her working clothes on and slept with it. Gross I know, but you can't blame her for wanting a shut eye after a day of hard work.
And one more thing, less free time and no day off at all. No more time to just goof around or spend some bonding time with her. Now that she realized that her dreams were already in the grasp of her palms, she was thinking it was time for her other dream to be achieved. And she will start working on it now.
“I was thinking, since the last shooting of Q-chan finished much earlier, we could do some catching up.” She said deliberately, sipping on the straw connected to a slightly hot coffee. She earned a displeased looked from her friend.
“That’s my coffee you know? And I told you, I’m not sure with my schedule yet after the recording.” Takamina replied, refusing to drink her coffee again after her friend casually steals a sip from it.
Right now, the two Team A elite members were walking in the hallway, towards the recording studio. It was scheduled for No Sleeves to record their new Christmas Single and the three busu member were given a 15 minute break before they start with the recording again. That’s when she spotted her friend, Maeda Atsuko lounging in the hallway.
“It’s not like we haven’t shared a drink before….” Atsuko pouted, clinging to the other girl while encouraging her to drink her coffee again. Minami groaned and just rolled her eyes, handing the coffee to her friend.
“Here, I think you much needed it, you looked like shivering from the cold.” She looked at the coffee being offered to her and looked at the eyes of her long time friend.
True, she really felt cold since winter already hit Japan, and she hates it. Giving her friend a knowing smile she said.
“Why don’t you take a last sip? Aren’t you feeling cold too?”
“N-no, I’m fine. Besides, you’re the one who’s been outside filming a dorama and injuring the cold temperature.” There she is, the shy Minami, she concluded and smiled inwardly. She was only teasing the girl since she was so very shy. Cute and shy little captain. She was thinking how to make her friend open up more to her, or stop being shy and be a laid back like the character she played in Mendol.
“Alright…but it’s not because you were shy sharing the same straw with me, right Minami?” she teased one last time and saw her friend look away from her. And with her keen eyes, she saw the girl’s check flushed lightly.
“O-of course, that’s nonsense anyway.” She smiled, hearing Minami stuttered means she was lying or unsure of something. She really wants to know why her friend still acts shy towards her. She can understood though if the two of them only knew each other for weeks or months but she knew the girl for five freaking years already.
“Uh-huh. Then take a sip.” She challenged, holding the coffee up in front of her friend. Her eyes full of mischievous glint while smiling innocently at her.
Minami on the other hand felt like beating herself up for buying the coffee in the first place. If weren’t for that cursed coffee, she wouldn’t be put in a tight spot right now.
Yeah, blame the innocent coffee for your shyness towards your secret crush-her inner self said sarcastically. She so doesn’t want an inner smart-ass self right now.
The two stopped walking since they almost reached the studio, with Atsuko still holding the coffee towards Minami, who by now scowling.
“Acchan!”
Two voices echoed the hallway and Minami never felt so thankful in her entire life with her two busu buddies saving her in a nick of time. Saving her from being a blubber fool in front of Acchan.
You’re secret crush, her inner self interjected again. She suppressed a groan. This inner self thing is giving her a headache right now.
“Harunyan, Miichan…” she called back enthusiastically. Seeing her two closed friends again after a long while made her happy. Forgetting her plan on making her best friend squirmed in front of her.
“Acchan, look what I found in the studio-is that a coffee?” Miichan asked, momentarily forgetting the thing she wants to show and slipped it inside her side pocket. Atsuko nodded and the coffee on her hand was being snatched away from her all of a sudden. She shook her head and just smiled. Already used with her friends attitude.
“What are you doing here?” Haruna chimed in after giving her a brief hug. The tall girl was smiling to her and she noticed she was carrying Minami’s bag.
“I’m planning to kidnap Minami here after your recording so we could-”
“Have a date.” Miichan interjected, sipping the coffee she stole while wiggling her eyebrows to Acchan.
“I was supposed to say so we could catch up but…….a date sounds better.” She chuckled while tilting her head sideways to look at her friend. Haruna and Miichan chuckled as well and waited for Minami’s reaction. But the girl just looked away from their scrutinizing gaze and grumbled something.
“Anyway, you do that Acchan, you’ve got my full support with that.” Haruna said, her voice full with mirth while handing Minami’s bag to her. The said girl looked confused towards Haruna, asking her silently why she was handing her, her bag. And why they have their own bags with them too?
“Our manager left already, saying he has some family emergencies and were free for the rest of the day.” Miichan informed after throwing the empty cup of coffee in the garbage can while gesturing with her hands in the air, quoting what their manager had said to them.
“Haa...…finally, a day off.” Minami exasperatedly sighed while slipping her bag on her shoulder, Haruna nodded in agreement.
“Day off? Did you notice what time is it already? It’s almost five in the afternoon; I can’t even see the sun anymore.” Miichan ranted while grimacing at the thought that they could finally have a day off hence a very short period of time. She can hardy call it a day off, more likely a several hours off.
“Baka! You can’t see the sun coz were inside the building.” Minami snorted, smiling slyly at Miichan who frowned at her.
“You’re just happy coz you can finally have a date with Acchan.” Miichan retorted, wiggling her eyebrows again. Atsuko laughed lightly, seeing her friend being rendered tongue tied by the younger girl. She really missed this cute jousting between the busu members, especially when Miichan was teasing Minami about them being a couple. Oh how she wish that was true.
“Whatever.” Minami muttered, leaving the three who were laughing at her.
“But a day off is a day off, right Takamina?” Haruna called, trailing behind her. She looked back and smiled. Leave it to Haruna, the level-headed one who always got her back…. or so she thought.
“Oh, I forgot. Takamina, stop right there.” Miichan yelled, walking towards Minami while pulling Atsuko with her. When she saw the devilish smile on her friend’s face she knew instantly that Miichan was up to no good. She looked at Haruna, asking silently what the dangerous girl was planning but the tall girl just smiled at her, slyly. Oh no, Kami-sama, not again.
“Just bear with it.” Haruna said, patting her shoulder. What’s that supposed to mean? She really didn’t like it when her two buddies would collaborate just to make fun of her, especially when Acchan was with them.
“Acchan, stand beside Takamina for a while.” Miichan said, grinning widely while handing something to Haruna, though she did it that the small girl won’t see it. Atsuko on the other hand just smiled and followed the younger girl’s instruction. She too knows that her best friend would be the laughing stock again, but she liked it when Minami was in a pinched. She looks so adorable and huggable at the same time, so she would let Miichan do her thing because that would lead sometimes to where she could hug her long unrequited love.
“If you’re planning something at my expense, then you should know firsthand that I’m gonna kill you after this.” Minami said, crossing her arms over her chest. This earned a light laughed from Atsuko beside her and a snicker from Haruna behind her. What was the girl doing behind her and Acchan anyway? She turned her head back and looked confusingly at Haruna who just shrugged her shoulders.
“Yeah, yeah, I know that already.” Miichan waved off her hand, not really taking Minami’s threat seriously. She took a few steps back, fishing out her phone while aiming the lens of her camera phone at the two and nodded her head towards the waiting Haruna.
“Okay, what now?” Minami asked, her arms now on her hips as she glared at the grinning Micchan.
“Hello everyone! This is Minegishi Minami reporting. Right now, I’m using my phone to record something you guys will really love. This would be a spectacular event even Aki-P would be so proud of me.” Miichan said while video tapping the smiling Atsuko and the frowning Minami, who rolled her eyes after hearing about their producer being proud to her crazy friend.
“With no further ado, let me introduce our protagonists Maeda Asuko and our very own little captain Takahashi Minami.” Acchan waved at the camera, giving her cutest smile while nudging her best friend, saying to play along. Minami rolled her eyes again but did wave when she earned another nudged from Atsuko.
“Now, Harunyan, for the main event to happen?” Miichan snickered. Haruna replied with a yosh and fished out that ‘something’ and held above Atsuko and Minami’s head. The latter’s eyes grew wide realizing what that certain object was and stumbled back a little. Acchan blushed lightly but smiled, grabbing her best friend’s hand to pull her closer to her.
“W-what….w-here did you g-get that?” Minami cried, asking Haruna while pulling away from Atsuko. Her best friend seems really don’t mind about what their friends want them to do. She was even smiling, and that smile tells Minami she can’t escape the situation she was in.
“Go Acchan! Kiss her, kiss her.” Miichan cheered, still holding her camera while videotaping the two, Minami struggling to escape while Atsuko trying to kiss her. Haruna was laughing loudly, trying to hold the object still which turned out to be a mistletoe, above her friend’s head. Her other hand clutching her stomach.
“Minami, stop resisting already….” Acchan said, now holding both of her best friend’s hand but the girl still trying to pull away from her while muttering something incomprehensible. Her cheeks were a beet red now.
“Everyone, we can see right now how Takamina deprived her girlfriend with a kiss. Just a kiss everyone and she was overreacting.” Miichan said like she was reporting some live coverage news. Minami heard what she said and stop struggling, glaring at her conniving friend who just snickered at her.
“Y-you….this is your fault, you baka.” Minami hollered, preparing to launch herself towards the girl who was acting as a camera man and a reporter at the same time to strangle her. But Acchan’s cupping her face made her stop and look at her best friend in horror. Is she seriously gonna kiss her for real? In front of camera? But that didn’t stop Acchan before, right? During the Heavy Rotation’s the making and this was like the repeat of that scene.
Sighing inwardly, Minami accepted her fate. Not like they haven’t kiss before, but she doesn’t like it knowing Atsuko was only playing around and just doing it for the purpose of amusement. She wants the girl to mean the kiss and just stop acting like someone she very well knows. I guess there’s no need to ask to whom the person she was referring to.
Miichan on the other hand pressed the zoom button of her phone upon seeing Takamina stop struggling. She wants to capture this moment perfectly so she could send them to everyone without her friends whining at her for capturing the scene poorly. Mariko would be so proud of her too. She chuckled and gives Haruna a thumbs up. She can already hear the compliments her friends giving her for succeeding another prank.
But no, with her phone suddenly came to life, it’d cut the videotaping she was doing. With just that, her dreams of being praised by other members shattered.
“NOoo.” Micchan yelled at the top of her lungs, earning the attention of her three companions.
Meanwhile, Minami used the opportunity to escape while her best friend was distracted by Miichan. She jumped back, making Atsuko let go of her face. Atsuko on the other hand pouted, realizing that she just waste the chance of kissing her secret love again. She was this close to Minami already and Miichan have to be the party pooper all of a sudden. Wasn’t she the master mind of this prank?
“Blasted phone. Alright, let’s reenact the scenes all over again.” Miichan said calmly, readying her phone again and the three looked at her incredulously.
“You’ve got to be kidding me, right?” Minami asked, back at glowering at her friend again.
“You can’t blame the girl for trying, sheesh!” Miichan huffed, reading the message instead that interrupted her making a history. After awhile, Haruna’s alert message tone beep, as well as Atsuko’s and Minami’s.
“Argh! This is not happening.” Haruna suddenly said, letting go of the mistletoe she was holding after reading the mail she received. She noticed Atsuko sighed in defeat and concluded she’s not the only one who received the mail. She can surely bet that the mail interrupted Miichan’s so called video tapping was from that person as well.
“I guess we better hurry up then?” Minami suggested, smiling at her friends who just nodded in return. And they left the vicinity with Atsuko clinging to her arm. She smiled inwardly, liking the feeling of Acchan being close to her.
--
Saying Maeda Atsuko was frustrated for not having the kiss was understatement, she was beyond that. She wished Minami should just relent and be obedient for once so she could kiss her, but no. So, she reminded herself to kill Yuko afterwards, not just for interrupting their almost kiss but for also sending that blasted invitation. Her plan of having Minami to herself for the night was ruined, just because the star of Team K suddenly wants all of them to go in this particular club. She wants to refuse, but she realized this was a rare chance for them, the elite members to hang out together so she gave in.
Now inside the club, surrounded by partying celebrities, Atsuko can’t help but praised Yuko for choosing such an extravagant club. The owner must be really rich, she thought. She was about to say something to Yuko but found the girl already preoccupied pestering her Nyan-Nyan. She grinned. Yuko really doesn’t know the word personal space with what she was almost sitting on Haruna’s lap. At least Haruna was resisting less compared to Minami. And speaking of the girl, she was nowhere in sight. She’s been gone for long now, didn’t she say she’ll just going to the restroom? She turned to the person sitting beside her.
“What’s with the long face, Tomochin?” she asked, the blonde was emitting some gloomy aura around her. Weren’t they supposed to be enjoying and in a happy mood right now? They’re in a club after all, with their close friends no less.
“Just bored.” Tomochin simply replied, to prove her point she sighed and slouched back at the couch they were sitting.
“Really, common you can tell me.” She poked her friend’s cheek playfully but her friend didn’t react and just continue to brood. Tomochin was like her sister after all, one she can trust and rely on. So seeing her friend like this, it tugged her heart and wants to make her lighten up somehow.
“And here I thought I’m one of your best friends…” she pouted while pinching the blonde’s cheek, forcing her friend to smile. Tomochin did smile, showing her cute little fang.
“Wah…soo cute.” She squeals lightly, pinching Tomochin’s cheek one last time.
“Argh! You’re so annoying.” The blonde said, albeit still smiling. This just shows she didn’t really mean what she said, and Acchan was glad she managed to break through the wall her friend put up.
“So, tell me. What’s bothering you?” she asked, her voiced laced with concern. Tomochin just shrugged her shoulders and sighed again.
Laughters broke out suddenly to the opposite where they’re sitting and she finally understood why her blonde companion was acting that way. It was the other Tomo who was immerse in a conversation with no other than Miyazawa Sae, her self-proclaimed prince. They were talking animatedly and Tomo~mi would erupt to a laugh with what Sae was saying to her. And that made Tomochin, her brooding friend to brood even more.
“Oh…that was understandable. Why don’t you ask her to dance then? I know for sure Chiyuu would say yes.” She suggested to Tomochin who just frowned at her, marring her cute face.
“Nah! She was already enjoying Sae-chan’s company.” Her friend replied, reaching for the apple juice she ordered a while ago. Trying to look elsewhere but never in Tomo~mi’s direction.
“I know…but Sayaka isn’t.” she replied, and like what she did earlier in Minami’s coffee, she stole a sip to her blonde’s apple juice. Tomochin doesn’t mind it and take a sip herself after Acchan did, her eyes roaming the place and her cute like-panda eyes caught something interesting.
“Yeah, but your Takamina says otherwise.” Tomochin chuckled lightly, pointing at the aforementioned girl who was talking to a rather beautiful girl. Acchan frowned when her eyes landed at the two and well, Tomochin was right about the girl being beautiful and sexy, that she hates to admit. She squinted her eyes to clearly see and recognize the girl that kept her Minami away from her for so long. Her eyes grew wide upon finally recognizing the girl; it was Minami’s co-star and love interest from the Dorama Mendol.
“Takigawa Hanako-san.” She growled the name. She doesn’t have any grudge with the girl, really. She was just thoroughly annoyed knowing that beautiful girl had kissed Minami many times compared to her.
One time, when she was at home and was having a dinner she turned the TV on, despite her mother telling her not to watch television while eating. She should’ve listened to her mother, since the moment the TV was turned on the scene that greeted her was a re-run of Mendol episode. An episode where Ray and Kai were on Tohto TV’s rooftop, kissing. That very moment she was tempted to hurl the bowl she was holding at the poor innocent flat screen television. Good thing her mother was there or else she swear she doesn’t mind making a hole on that particular piece of equipment.
“Ne, Tomochin…” she called the blonde’s name while still leering at Minami and Hanako-san, who by now holding one of her best friend’s hand.
“What is it?” the blonde asked, though she already had an idea what’s her sometimes evil friend was about to say. She smirked and finished her apple juice in one last sip, soothing her clothes for creased.
“What do you say about getting back to our supposed partners?” she said, grinning evilly at Tomochin. The blonde laughed lightly, actually liking Atsuko’s plan. If she can’t get Tomo~mi’s attention by showing how irritated she was for being ignored, then she would do something flashy. With Acchan as her partner in this, she will surely see those two regretting for ignoring them.
“Lead the way then, aibou.” Tomochin replied, standing in the process as she offered her right hand to Atsuko, who gladly accepted the offered hand to her. Now both standing, they smiled to one another, earning Tomo~mi’s attention who glanced at their way. And hand in hand, they make their way towards the dance floor, their eyes never leaving the other as they started to dance.
In Tomo~mi’s point of view, it was like a slap on the face when her blonde best friend chose to dance with Atsuko instead of her. She frowned, eyeing both her friend who was dancing rather too close to her liking, unconsciously forgetting the existence of Sae beside her, to Sayaka’s delight. With the half Firipin-jin seeing this as a chance to fully gained Sae’s attention, she pull the girl to another table, to where Mariko and Miichan was having yet another verbal squabble about something she doesn’t really care.
With the two gone, Tomo~mi was left alone with the KojiYuu combo who was in their hot and cold relationship. She sighed and decided to order something to drink; something that would calm her nerves down. The time her order arrived, Takamina also arrived at their table, with drinks on hand.
Minutes had passed and the two at the dance floor were still dancing with a smile on their faces. And even though they were just dancing to get a reaction from their respective partners, they were actually enjoying each other’s company, failing to notice Haruna’s presence and her wandering hands suddenly attached to their butts. They yelped at the same time but erupted laughing after a while, not believing that the mature but airhead friend of them just touch them inappropriately.
“That was something any ordinary day wouldn’t happen under normal circumstances.” Acchan giggled, glancing at Minami’s direction, who takes a big gulp of her drink. She hopes her best friend wouldn’t suffer the so-called hang-over the next morning.
“I agree, though what Harunyan did help a little.” Tomochin giggled as well, seeing the frowning face of her counterpart, who girlishly lift up her glass of alcoholic drink and emptied it with just one swig. She was surprised since she didn’t pegged Tomo~mi to be a drinker.
“Hey, Tomochin! How about taking our plan to a higher notch?” Atsuko asked, pulling the blonde closer to her while running her other hand on her partner’s back.
“What? Like them?” Tomochin chuckled while gesturing to Haruna who was already ravishing Yuko, with Sae video tapping them just like what Miichan did a earlier, though there was no kissing happened, much to Atsuko’s total dismay.
“Why not….?” Atsuko didn’t mean it, but seeing the panic look on Tomo~mi and Minami’s faces, she can’t help but agree. Though she would not dare doing something so intimate with her blonde friend, but she wouldn’t think twice if it was Minami.
But before she could even give Tomochin a friendly kiss, the blonde was already an arm’s length away from her, out within her grasp as a rather pissed off and glaring Tomo~mi was greeting her with the most deadliest yet cute face ever. She immediately put her talent into use and acted she was confused and shocked, but in reality she was congratulating herself for helping her blonde friend as she watched them saunter towards the restroom.
With Tomochin’s case closed, she decided it was time for hers as well, ending it with a bang. Not really, but she promised herself she wouldn’t go home tonight till she get what she wants. Smirking inwardly, she strode towards her best friend who looks like being petrified by Medusa.
“See something you like?” she asked Minami, tilting her head to the side, smiling cutely at her. The small girl nodded but scowled instantly upon remembering the girl she secretly crushing on was just about to kiss another girl, even if it was Tomochin, because it’s not her.
“What or to be exact, who is it?” she asked again, pushing Minami gently so the girl could sit on the couch. She’s not really sure but she thinks her best friend might be drunk. Considering the empty glasses already piling on the table.
“You…” Minami replied without thinking and her eyes widened realizing what she just admitted. She felt like bashing her head with the glass right now, after seeing the knowing smile of her best friend.
Way to go captain, her inner self again, mocking her.
“W-what I m-mean…..are you actually going to kiss Tomochin?” was not the one she wants to say, or well blurted out, but at least it diverted Atsuko’s attention? Away from the fact she just admitted to her she likes her?
Or so she thought…
“Why, Minami? Are you jealous?” Atsuko teased, now wearing her seductive smile, scooting much closer to her best friend who was uncomfortably fidgeting at her seat.
“O-of course not!” she denied indignantly, not meeting Atsuko’s alluring gaze. She bet, with her mind messed up thanks to the alcoholic drinks she drank, she would probably blurted out more about the truth.
“So, you don’t mind if I will follow Tomochin in the restroom and continue where we left off?” the ace chuckled at herself, she was only kidding of course. But seeing the horrified look on Minami’s face she decided to take easy on her best friend. But what she didn’t expect was for Minami to say……
“Of course I would mind. What were you thinking?” the girl hollered, face flushing, her fuse finally snapped. It rendered Atsuko speechless. Alright, her friend was drunk. The things Minami said was due to the effects of alcohol she drank, right? Besides, she was only teasing the girl for being so uptight. So why was her heat go all doki-doki suddenly?
“You’ll get…. jealous?” Atsuko asked curiously, trying to tame her heart that was beating wildly. Her friend was drunk, yes, that was established already. But she can’t help but dwell more in this sudden change in her friend. This Minami was more open…or let’s say, straightforwardly honest.
“Damn right!”
Not to mention, a brash one.
She winced when she heard her friend replied to her query with a thundering voice. The shy Minami was totally gone now, the persona she was showing right now was the total opposite of who she was when sober. Her friend was like a yankii now, though honest and a little gullible, one might add.
For Minami, she was like in autopilot. Acchan teasing her is too much for her jumbled mind to handle. Her friend was being difficult, so she decided to cast her shyness away and let her instincts control over or follows what her heart says, to lay bare with her feelings towards her best friend.
“So...you like...me?” Yet another curious question left Atsuko’s mouth. She must know if Minami harbors same feelings as she was towards the girl. This is it, no more turning back and teasing. She would accept no matter what her best friend will say, get rejected or her feelings be reciprocated. But she has an inkling feeling that Minami likes her back. She knows it….or rather feels it.
She held her breath, waiting for her best friend’s response.
“Isn’t it the most obvious thing in the world?” Minami asked back, her face frowning while gesturing with her hand. Not realizing the impact of her own words to her best friend who let out a relieve sigh.
She knows she’s drunk but she knows what she was doing. The problem was, she can’t control herself or whatever that comes out from her mouth. It’s like her mouth has suddenly a mind of its own. Who’s complaining anyway, but she’s definitely sure it’s not her. So right now, she’ll just have to make use of her drunkenness as a mask for her to confess her feelings to Atsuko.
A great disguise indeed, her inner self agreed, proudly smiling at her.
“Then kiss me.” Atsuko said offhandedly, the brightest smile you ever see, now occupied her face. Though the smile itself was out of sheer happiness, you could also see some trace of mischievousness in it. Her eyes were screaming about it too. Her heart that’d been doki-doki was all she can hear despite the music booming around the place.
With the simple command she uttered, it was granted immediately, without any hints of hesitation. She felt like melting when she feel Minami pressed their lips, caressing her own softly. Her best friend, no, her girlfriend’s taste so sweet, sweeter than any of the cake she’d tasted in her entire life. She decided when she felt like eating cake, she would just kiss Minami instead. More accessible and is free of charge.
She pulled away from the kissed to look at the half-lidded eyes of her girlfriend. Minami was so adorably cute. She can’t help but giggle lightly before capturing those tempting sweet lips before her for the second time. Kissing Minami with every ounce of her feelings, conveying how important she is to her. But before she could deepen the kiss, a thought struck her and she hesitantly pulled back from the kiss again. This time, earning a whining protest from Minami, who pulled her fervently to another round of intense kissing. She gave in and smiled in the kiss, letting her girlfriend have her way with her. Not that she mind anyway. Only a fool who would waste a chance to make out with their love one, and she’s no fool.
When both finally break the kiss when the need of air kicks in, Atsuko immediately for go with the idea that crossed her mind a while ago. She smirked.
Ne, Minami?” she called the attention of the girl in her arms.
“Hmm…?” Minami replied, snuggling comfortably in Atsuko’s chest.
“How about a reenactment of what just happened, but this time with Miichan video tapping it?” she said deliberately, caressing the girl’s hair affectionately, and in the less than two seconds, Minami snapped her head to look at her incorrigible girlfriend.
“Maji de?”
End.
Happy Holidays everyone, hope you like this crap!
