Dream Star

When Lila told him yesterday that she wanted to be with him more. She meant it literally, yes. But she didn"t think he would agree to it right away. With everything going on, the start of the main tournament has been delayed a bit. Other than morning practices. Lila has had little time to focus on the tournament. Since coming back to Star Town, she has had a lot of work to do. After she became the number one idol earlier this year, she disappeared. So, it was only normal to be swarmed with so much work.

Her gaze fell on Haruka, who was looking over senpai"s music scores. It was the song Kiryu suggested they use for the battle of the bands. Lila wanted to use both senpai and Haruka"s songs. "Save Karas.h.i.+ma"s song for the final," is what Kiryu told her.

Maybe Kiryu noticed something about Haruka"s songs that she didn"t? "Weren"t you practicing? Your hands aren"t moving?"

At some point, Lila had stopped playing the guitar and was looking at Haruka.

"Haruka, you"re distracting me."

Haruka laughed, "Cmere. You"ll see what distraction is if you get close."

"No! I"m staying on this side," Lila exclaimed. She was still fl.u.s.tered after what happened last night. While she"s always known about how kind and gentle he is, Lila didn"t think he would act that way while they did it. Since they started to date, he"s never been so gentle with her. It"s not like he"s too rough and aggressive with her. But, it"s not normally that sweet.

Her thoughts broke off when the doors opened, revealing a dead-looking Tok.u.mori Arata. Her sweat fell, "Uh….?"

"Hey leader, snap out of it," Ryunosuke said, shaking him awake.

"What is with that nonsense? "I"m sorry, but we are looking for a better song…" What better song my a.s.s, that"s our number one hit song." Arata snapped.

"Song?"

Masaomi quickly explained, "You see, they told us to change the song for that commercial."

"Then, just use this," Kiryu entered the room and placed some scores in front of Arata.

The brooding man who just seconds ago looked like a ghost eyes brightened. "What is this?!! Did you write it."

"Karas.h.i.+ma did."

Arata turned to Haruka, "So, what happened to…"

Haruka sighed, "I"ve already heard this before. Don"t get me wrong; even now, my view on that hasn"t changed. But," his gaze fell on her. "...her priorities are mine. That"s all."

Despite how he said it, Lila felt very happy. Arata sighed, "You"re so indirect. Oi, you three, follow me outside."

The other three did as Arata said, and she felt Kiryu"s gaze linger on her. Before, he also walked away.

"Get closer to me," Haruka instructed.

Lila shook her head, "Uh, nope, this distance is fine." But no sooner had she said that did Haruka scoot over.

"H-Haru..."

He cupped her cheeks with his hands, "So, what happened to not avoiding me? Why are you doing that now?"

"I--I"m just nervous."

Haruka chuckled, "After everything we"ve done. Why are you still like this?"

"I don"t know; it"s your fault." He made her like this, "Maybe I"m just stupid."

Another laughter, "You"re amazing," Haruka complimented before his gaze turned serious. "Well, I"m going to kiss you if that"s alright."

Lila shyly nodded her head. She wonders why even now...even now she gets nervous around this person. Is it because she likes him? Haruka deepened the kiss, and Lila wrapped her arms around his neck.

Oh, no, this feels good. Why does it feel this way? They are only kissing, is she stupid or something?

Yes, that"s it. She just becomes an idiot whenever she is with this person.

Haruka sensually traced her lips after they finished. "Uhhh, umm…." Lila didn"t know what to say to him.

"Why do you look prettier than usual?"

She does?

"Yeah, or maybe I"ve become weird."

Oh, they were thinking the same thing. Lila laughed, "Silly couple, indeed." Haruka brought his hands to her hair and gently caressed it. "Wife."

"Yes?"

"I like it when you smile. Smile more for me."

So silly, "Your hands are warm hubby."

"Mmm, got the warmth from my wife."

"Ahem."

Lila saw Kasumi standing at the door and quickly pulled away from Haruka. "I heard that you two are all over each other when n.o.body is looking. But you have no shame."

Lila laughed awkwardly, "Sorry, sorry."

Kasumi rolled her eyes and strolled into the room. "I"ve finished the designs for our upcoming show. Have a look."

"Okay!"

Lila glanced over at Haruka, who ran a hand through his hair. Noticing the beads of sweat trickle down his neck, she shyly looked down. They were only kissing, why did he get so worked up?

She extended her hand out, and Haruka grabbed hold of it. He brought it to his lips and started kissing her fingertips. "Um...Um…"

"I"ll get going; tell me when you"re finished here."Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

"Alright…"

But no sooner had Haruka left, did Lila stand up. She hesitated and turned to Kasumi for permission.

Kasumi waved her hands towards the door, "Go. But come right back."

Lila nodded and rushed after Haruka. He was walking slowly, and Lila understood why. He was waiting for her.

She hugged him tightly, and he picked her up. They walked for a few minutes before he placed her down on a high table. "You are messing with me."

"I"m not."

"Really? What do you call that avoiding and yet staring at me tactic?"

Uh, tactic? She was just staring. Lila felt Haruka"s lips on her neck. "The things I can do to you, you still have no idea, do you? Be careful with me. I"m not a good guy."

"Um, you"ve said that a lot hubby. But we"re married already, it"s a bit too late."

Haruka laughed, "Indeed, it is. So, what shall we do now?"

"Kiss."

He rolled his eyes, "You"re messing around. I want to do other things."

"Nuh-uh silly were not doing that here."

"Doing what here?" Haruka said slyly. "I was only talking about cuddling, your so dirty, Lila. What are you thinking?"

G--ah! She fell for his trap. Lila traced his lips with her hands. "Don"t work so much for my sake Haruka, if you need to take a break and relax. Tell me, okay?"

Haruka smiled, "Relax wife. I know what I"m doing."

She wrapped her arms around his neck, "I don"t think you do; otherwise, you"d be touching me now."

"Recently, I learned about self-control. Does my wife need to be taught too?"

"I think she does.."

….

When Lila returned to the room, Kasumi was still engrossed in designing. Lila plopped herself onto the couch with a beaming smile on her face as she recalled what just happened with Haruka. It"s so different lately. He isn"t pouncing on her anymore, and every time he touches her, he is so very gentle.

"You seem happy, Lila."

"Ah?"

Kasumi sighed, "I know you"re on cloud9 right now. But snap out of it, let"s practice for a bit."

Lila laughed, "Um, nothing happened."

"I"m sure that"s the case," Kasumi said sarcastically.

"No, uh, nothing happened. Lately, Haruka is very gentle with me, so…"

"Then, that means he has finally learned how to treat you preciously."

Preciously? "Maybe that"s true," Lila said softly. Haruka is still struggling with a few things, but he is getting better.

"But with the start of a new day, I could still go on. I need you always be by my side, don"t let go of me…" Lila sang.

"Don"t start with the high note!" Kasumi exclaimed.

"Sorry, sorry."

"Singing with you is so overwhelming. But I suppose it is normal."

Kasumi took a deep breath.

"...The secret promise that you whispered to me, at the same time, I just wanted to be with you," she sang.

Lila stared at her friend with bright eyes, and Kasumi stopped singing, "W--what?"

"Kasumi, your voice is so pretty now."

"T--thanks? Wait, what was it like before."

"How to put it, it was pretty. But at times it felt a bit heavy ...Like a shackle was weighing you down or something."

"Your foresight is as incredible as ever," Kasumi sighed. "Well, yes, in the past, it felt like that. I was desperately trying to catch up with you, after all."

Was she? "I"m sorry Kasumi, I caused problems for you."

Kasumi shook her head, "There is no need to apologize. If you weren"t so serious all the time, I would not have made it this far," she tapped her fingers against the desk. "Tell me, Lila, Karas.h.i.+ma ...he treats you very well?"

Lila blinked, confused at Kasumi"s words, and her friend sighed. "I came here to ask you some advice on Mikami."

"Mikami-kun?"

Kasumi nodded, "We"ve been talking; lately, you know whether or not to pursue things. But, I"m very uncomfortable after all. How many girls did he touch when we were apart from each other? It makes me so uneasy. Lila, how do you cope with it? Maybe I"m just petty, but…"

"But Haruka hasn"t touched a girl since we started dating…"

"R—right, sorry that"s not what I meant."

Lila"s gaze softened. Kasumi worries too much. But, this is a normal person"s reaction to dating someone with a past like that. "It"s all about trust."

"...Trust?" Kasumi repeated.

"Yes, I know that Haruka has done many bad things in the past. While he was not attached to those girls, he still touched them. When we first started dating, I had a hard time since all his admirers, ex-clients, or whatever they were kept latching onto him. It was a real bother for me."

Whenever she thought about it, it made her feel irritated. "So, what did you do?" Kasumi asked.
