This will be the last OS that I'll be doing it like this, it is hurting me so bad to make Airi cry -,-
==========
OS 1.5 - Manazashi Sayonara
For the young woman who is used on being called Suberi Devil by her team mates, she never imagined that she will quite enjoy her concurrent membership in SKE. She thought it was a bad idea at first to accept the concurrency, but thanks to a certain bird, her doubts on considering the concurrency offer were replaced by fun memories.
Memories that made her laugh and hurt at the same time resulting for her on making the biggest decision on her entire idol career as part of the 48G idol group.
“I, Yamada Nana, will graduate from NMB48.”
She finally said it, the most unlikely dreaded announcement that fans fear on hearing. Honestly, she wasn’t really planning on announcing it during this important day, but she must. She can’t stand watching people, NMB fans to be specific, and the other members to feel sad for her sudden announcement.
“I have now found a new dream within myself in these 4 years that I wasn’t able to 4 years ago”.
This is an obvious lie, she and Sayanee knows that. But she has no other choice but to use this reason to leave. The ikemen member already told her, her real reason is a not good one. She could have just leave the other group and stay. But for the Suberi Devil, this is what she has to do.
“….so come what may, I’ve decided to move ahead”.
But can she do it? Knowing that the person, or bird rather, that made her make the decision to step out will always be there.
She will always be there for her, as a friend. Not the way she dreams of, not the way it should be.
Somehow she regrets on not telling Takayanagi Akane on what she really feels about her. But it was too late, the other woman already found her happiness.
“I’m sorry that I fell in love with you. Please be happy with Airi-san” she told herself as the group prepares for their final song.
============
The sunlight coming from behind the curtain of the window managed to woke her up. She can feel a pair of hands holding her; the first is at the back of her head and the other on her waistline. Along with the sounds coming from her pet parrots, the newly awoken woman moved her head upwards and slowly opens her eyes only to see the face that she is used on seeing for the past few years that they’ve been together.
But instead of a smile coming out from her lips, she can only feel sadness and most of all;
GUILT.
When did she realize that she is already falling to someone other than the person in front of her?
When did she start caring to the other person more than she cares on whom she was going out with for years?
If there is one thing that she hates right now, it is the fact that she let herself fall for the Suberi Devil.
Now, she was left confused. She felt that a part of her heart was taken away by the unsuspecting woman.
She felt guilty on falling in love with someone other than Airi.
And with that, tears came down from her already swollen eyes. She snuggles the sleeping woman beside her.
Feeling the wetness piling up on her clothed chest, Airi instinctively hugs the crying woman tighter before opening her eyes. She kissed the bird lover’s forehead. If there is anything that she could do for her right now, that is understanding the younger woman.
“Jurina will kill me if she sees you crying like this. You know, the promise that I’ve made to her on not letting you cry” Airi said.
“I’m sorry” Akane replied.
“If all vile things can be forgiven by just saying sorry, then laws should all just be demolish.”
The bird lover looked at her with teary eyes.
“You know that I’m just joking right?” Airi asked.
“B-ut you’re such a mea-nie” Akane said as she can’t still control her tears.
Airi wipes the tears from Akane’s face and smiled.
“When did you start noticing?” Akane asked.
“You feel down when she can’t attend KII’s stage performance, Jurina trying to kiss her on Ebicalcio, when you see her hugging Ego-chan, . . . “ Airi started as she count her answers on Akane’s question using her fingers.
“Enough already” Akane can’t bear hearing it all from Airi.
“And most of all, you wear the brightest smile when you’re with her.”
And then it hit her. The guilt that she feels only intensified after hearing all of this from Airi herself.
“That’s why I’ve decided to end this for you. You are free to tell her what you feel without you thinking of me” Airi continued.
“But what if she doesn’t return it?” Akane asked.
“Then feel free to come back to me. I’ll always be here for you no matter what happens.” Airi answered.
Akane couldn’t believe what she’s hearing. She realized how perfect Airi was. She feel terrible as a bad person, hurting someone as kind and understanding as her.
“Thank you” Akane said softly.
Airi’s face drew closer to Akane’s. They both knew that this may be the last time they can do it. Not minding the tears that was all over the bird lover’s face, Airi kisses Churi and poured all of her love to it. They hugged each other tight and tried to go back to sleep.
Starting tomorrow, everything will be different.
But they both know that the Furuyanagi’s bond won’t just fade, even though the paths that they’re about to take are different.
=====================
5 months after Yamada Nana’s Graduation
“You know you don’t need to be here almost every week” the bird lover asked as she is tending her pet parrots.
“But I want to see Pino and the others” replied the Suberi Devil who’s currently watching her from the dining table.
“Eeh? Only them?”she then faced the woman while pouting.
Nana giggled. Who knows that these birds’s owner can get jealous over them?
She went near the bird lover and wrapped her arms around her.
“Of course I also wanted to see you. You don’t know how much I badly miss you” She said.
A faint blush can be seen on Churi’s face after hearing them from her now lover. Who knew that her love was not one-sided after all? But she then remembered something that made her sad all of the sudden.
“You should have just taken back your graduation announcement, that way, we can still perform on stage together” Churi said.
Finding this adorable, Nana pinches Churi’s cheeks.
“Itai! Why did you do that?”
“Sorry. I just found it cute and adorable” Nana answered mischievously.
The Suberi Devil then cupped both of her hands on Churi’s cheeks.
“When I said that I’ve found a new dream, half of it was true” she started.
“And now you being with me, I’ll work hard to achieve that dream. So please stay by my side.” she continued.
The bird lover smiled and nodded.
She then closed her eyes and a few moments later, she could feel a pair of lips kissing her softly. It lasted for a few seconds but it made her feel calm and contented. With one last loving look at the Suberi Devil, Churi then threw herself at the other woman and hugged her tightly.
THE END
