Dream Star

July 2035, (Dream Star Training Center)

After spending the whole morning practicing and taking photos. Lila found the judges supervising the practice praising her endlessly. Her sweat fell seeing the look of particular contestants. She can"t hold back her abilities forever, so it"s better for her to show it like this.

"Is Ari here?"

Lila"s eyes brightened upon spotting maroon colored hair by the door. She rushed over, "Haruka!"

"You good to go? I only have a few minutes."

"Ah, then I guess I can"t get changed."

"Go out in that. It looks good on you, anyway."

"Then, okay!"

Haruka and turned to Clara.

"I"m borrowing her."

Clara sighed, "Go ahead, we"ve finished her shots for now. Bring her back later."

Itsuki chuckled, "The real question is whether we will get her back in one piece."

At that comment, her cheeks burned red.

Car Parking lot

Dating Haruka differs from dating Kiryu. While making comparisons would be rude on them both. She has noticed some very subtle differences. Haruka likes to be very affectionate with her in public. Kiryu was the same, but he was more subtle about it. Haruka, however, doesn"t hesitate to show his affections, in a rather pa.s.sionate manner. No sooner had they arrived at the parking lot, Haruka looped his arms around her waist and was kissing her lips.

Haruka"s kisses always make her feel like she is melting. Perhaps it"s because of the piercings in his tongue, but.. she felt an odd tingling sensation whenever they kiss. It"s good.

"Nnmmgh...Nmmhh Haruka.. we should, we should get inside the car first.." Lila said.

Haruka drew back, "Give me a few more minutes."

This is also something different. Haruka isn"t serious when he says a few minutes. They could be like this for the next few hours. It doesn"t just stop at kissing either. Haruka is a very pa.s.sionate lover, and he has no morals about when or where he can have s.e.x with her.

Hearing the sound of a beep though, Haruka sighed, "Hey.." he called out.

But Haruka"s driver shook his head, "We will be late if you get distracted any longer."

This person is Haruka"s driver, a guard? She still isn"t sure exactly what his occupation is. But considering how he calls Haruka young master.. She a.s.sumed he is someone from that organization, yet because he isn"t on the hit list. Lila wasn"t all too worried. Once she was inside the car. Haruka placed his hand on her legs, and mutters in her ear, "You only temporarily escaped, you got that?"

"I—I know." Lila stammered.

His lips curve to a sly smile. Argh, how frustrating! It"s not fair; he always has the upper hand.

When the car stopped, and they got out, Lila blinked in confusion. They arrived at a newly build area where the buildings in the area are filled with the latest technology. Why did they come here? She noticed a truck, a group of people unloading boxes.

One of them called out to Haruka, "Ah Karas.h.i.+msan, your friend already signed for you."

Haruka nodded.

Lila looked at the boxes being unloaded from the truck in confusion. Is Haruka setting up another studio or something here? More importantly, her gaze landed on Haruka"s hand. For someone who was so against it before, doesn"t he naturally hold on to her now?

"Want me to let go?" Haruka spoke up.

Lila laughed and shook her head, "No, I like it."

"I see."

....

Haruka leads her inside the apartment complex, Lila noticed it immediately though. The large board at front. She noted the large board listed only a few people"s names on the list. Is this a housing complex? Maybe he"s moving here and needs help.

After going through a series of doors and staircases. They arrived at a set of doors and stopped at one with a gla.s.s door. Haruka inserts the card key inside, and the doors opened.

"Go inside."

It confused Lila but does so, her eyes brightened seeing the large room. While there was barely any furniture yet, it was a beautiful site. Lila walked over to the windows that overlooked the town. What a nice view. One can see the whole city from up here.

"Wahh it"s so pretty, what is this place Haruka?" Lila asked.

Haruka responded by wrapping his arms around her. Are they hugging?

"It"s our place." Haruka murmured against her ear.

O--

Lila"s cheeks reddened at his words. "Um, we"re… just dating Haruka.. um.."

"Is it an issue?" Haruka asked.

"No, I"m happy…."

She is happy, Haruka"s lips grazed her ear, "You"ll be happier in the next few seconds…"

Her cheeks reddened more, "Now?"

"Yeah."

Lila shyly nodded and allowed Haruka to kiss her. A heated kiss, something she"s gotten used too. His lips grazed against her shoulders, biting it slowly.
"You"re so pretty Ari."

And another thing.

Haruka likes to call her Ari, even though there"s no need to do so when they are alone together. For Haruka, perhaps calling her Ari is better since they got together in this form. It didn"t matter to her as long as he"s happy.

Oh, no not again. Lila felt the tears fall from her eyes, she"s so happy.

She felt like crying more. Haruka pulled back and murmured, "Your crying again, hey, do you not like this?"

She shook her head, "I"m thrilled Haruka."

Haruka chuckled, "Crying because you"re happy, huh? You"re such an odd one.."

"T—tell me, why this position...." Lila questioned. Haruka had her arms pinned back while she remained standing up. It embarra.s.sed Lila, knowing how exposed she was like this. But she felt Haruka"s lips on her ear and her neck again, she doesn"t dislike the amount of attention he gives her.

"A personal preference."

Preference?

Before anymore they could exchange more words. Somebody throws a book in their direction. Haruka dodged it quickly and moved her out of the way too.

"d.a.m.n, what the h.e.l.l Jae-hee?"

There stood grey hair, amber colored eyes by the door.

"You have me wait here, and now you plan to get frisky…"

Thump. Thump. When Haruka let go, Lila looked away. Shes still so nervous.

2 hours later

"Are you tired? Sorry, I should have asked. But I thought you"d like this better." Haruka decided to call Lila"s friends to help with the decorations, minus Yumeko who had something to do. He"s glad she chose not to show.

"No, you"re right. I like this.."

Sensing the girl"s tone, Haruka paused. Once in a while she gets like this, she gets this nostalgic look in her eyes. Haruka pulled her into his arms, "Haruka... your warm…"

"Are you cold?"

"A little."

Haruka nodded.

"Your so warm... It"s comfortable. I feel safe."

When she gets like this, he can tell they"ve gotten closer. But sometimes he wonders, are those words really for him?
