V | Surprise Visit
{Your P.O.V}
Days flew by much like that first one. Each of the Quartet Night members leaving tasks for me to complete while they're out and about completing their own schedules. Though Camus has made it official that I am to make him at least one grilled cheese a day regardless of whether it's for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
I probably got that earl addicted to them...
Yesterday, while the idols were out, they were nice enough to wander off to a clothing store and pick out a few outfits for myself so I'm not wearing the same thing for days at a time. Though I'm not going to question how they knew my size in everything they bought. I'm especially not going to question how they got my underwear size correct...
Shaking my head to clear my thoughts, I glanced around to the four idols around me with a small smile. "So what's everyone's schedules for today? Anything interesting going on?" I asked as they all ate their breakfasts.
"We are appearing on a radio show and then heading back here." AI answered blankly before promptly taking a sip of his water.
"Why do you want to know My Girl?" Reiji then questioned from beside me.
"I actually need to go out soon and visit some people." I responded with ease.
"Where to?"
"Nowhere special." I said with a sly grin. "I'll take care of the chores once I get back so don't freak out on me alright?"
I didn't wait for a response as I quickly finished eating and got up to put my dishes in the sink. The idols just stared at me either confusedly, curiously, or blankly as I disappeared down the hallway where our bedrooms are.
Since Otoya never told them about me even existing, I doubt he's mentioned anything to them about our linked pasts. Talking to people and explaining to them that I grew up in an orphanage doesn't exactly go that well and usually results in whoever I tell pitying me. I hate pity just as much as I hate cleaning which should really say something.
I exchanged numbers with Quartet Night a couple days ago so if they truly need me then they can reach me. With a wave, I quickly said good bye to the idols and headed out of the apartment.
Within minutes of me leaving and disappearing down a different street, I already had a text from Reiji asking again where I am going. All I did was message him back saying I'm visiting old friends and that I would be back in about an hour or two.
Honestly, I just need some time out of that apartment. Not to mention I've also promised all those little munchkins at the orphanage that I would visit soon so might as well go today.
Maybe I should have told those four idols where I was going...
I doubt they actually care, but if something were to happen to them or myself, shouldn't they know where I am? Maybe I'm just looking into this too much. Yeah, that's probably it. Thinking too much for what's good for a fangirls mind.
Reiji sent me another text talking about what they're discussing on the radio show later. Something about their new song and also about how they think ST☆RISH will do on their first Asian Tour. I sent him some random text back and then continued walking down different streets until things began becoming more familiar.
The little signs and small hidden back streets. The chips and cracks in the sidewalk and the random buildings that haven't been fixed up in years. This is the place Otoya and I grew up and this is my true home. I don't think I'll ever get tired of coming down here-
"ONEE-CHAN!" A bunch of small children screamed as I got close to the orphanage. I couldn't help but smile as I grabbed the first two little girls to run up to me and spun them around.
"How've my little munchkins been?"
"GOOD!"
All the children began giggling at how they all screamed in unison. They found it so amusing having me around again.
I miss this atmosphere...
Seeing all these munchkins smiling with this bright, innocent light surrounding them. They probably don't feel as loved as they truly are considering they live in an orphanage and all, but that's why I constantly visit these little cuties. I know how it feels to not feel loved and being alone more times than not so it's only right I try and make things okay for all of them as best I can.
"So what do you all want to do?" I asked with a bright smile as the children ran around happily.
The small children thought for a while before becoming all giddy again. "We should play with our outside toys!" One little girl yelled happily.
Within seconds I had a small crowd of munchkins sitting around me as we all played with random trucks, action figures, and anime plushies. Everyone wanted to play with me the most so I tried my hardest to not leave a single cutie out.
A few of them began asking where their "Onii-chan" is so I had to explain to them that Otoya is out singing and making other people happy somewhere off in China right now. Some of the children got sad, but they quickly brightened up again once I told everyone I'd give them piggyback rides if they stopped pouting.
It must have been hours before most of the little munchkins began growing too tired to keep playing. I helped a few of the orphanage's staff put them to sleep and then snuck out only to find one little girl still still outside and all alone. She had platinum blonde hair that lightly curled down a little past her shoulders. Her hazel brown eyes were absolutely mesmerizing as she looked over to me with the most adorable smile I've ever seen.
I haven't met this little girl before.
"Hello there." I sang as I walked towards her. "What's your name little cutie?"
Her smile widened as I knelt down in front of her. "My name is Hana and I'm six years old." She answered while holding up six of her fingers in probably the most adorable way I've ever seen in my entire existence.
Her smile is infectious because I soon found myself smiling as well. "It's nice to meet you Hana, I'm ___."
"Oh! You're our onee-chan!"
"Haha yup, and Otoya is your onii-chan."
Her light blonde eye brows furrowed in confusion. "Who's Otoya?"
Slipping my phone out of my pocket and ignorning the multiple text messages from Reiji, I scrolled through some of my pictures until I found one of myself with Otoya from a few months back. "This red headed puppy is Otoya. We both grew up here years ago."
"You used to be alone too?" She asked with a sparkle in her eyes.
My smile faltered ever so slightly. "I was alone, but I had Otoya there to keep me company just like I'll be here to keep you company."
This little blonde suddenly wrapped her tiny arms around my neck and hugged me. "You'll be my onee-chan?" She asked innocently.
"Of course." I responded while wrapping my arms around her back and lifting her as I stood back up. "But it's time for you to go and rest."
She pouted a bit as I was getting ready to bring her back inside the orphanage. "But I want to stay and meet those pretty boys!"
I immediately stopped walking as I looked to her face. "What pretty boys?"
Hana pointed behind me with an even brighter smile than before. Turning around, I was met with the sight of Quartet Night giving this little girl their most gentlemanly smiles.
When did they get here?!
I didn't show a single ounce of anxiety as I walked towards the four men and introduced them to Hana. I've never wanted to ask a question more in my life than right now. How much did these men exactly hear when I was talking to Hana just a few moments ago? Do they now know that I too was an orphan..? How'd they even know I was here?
"You're absolutely beautiful princess." Camus murmured to her with a gentle smile as he kissed the back of her hand, much like how he first greeted me.
"You are rather pretty Hana." AI agreed.
"Deffinitely a looker." Ranmaru chuckled.
Reiji opened his arms and Hana quickly found her way into his embrace. "My Baby Girl is by far the prettiest one on this planet!" He sang happily while spinning her around.
Ranmaru, Reiji, and Camus played with Hana while AI and I watched from a little ways away. Glancing over to him, I could see how intently he watched his fellow bandmates as they interacted with the little girl. But I couldn't stay quiet and just had to know the answer to my question.
"So how long were you guys standing there?" I suddenly asked, breaking the silence surrounding us.
AI turned to look at me. "Only a moment before the girl pointed us out. Why do you ask?"
I shrugged my shoulders. "Curiousity I guess."
Letting out an internal sigh, I let my shoulders finally relax. I had been tensed from the second I thought these four might have found out about me being an orphan and all.
It's not that I'm ashamed of being an orphan, far from it actually. But I don't want their opinion of me to change because of it either. It's the exact same fear I have with those three who are playing with Hana to find out about me being a die hard fan of theirs. The way they view me would completely change and that's by far the scariest thing to entertain my imagination with.
"Onee-chan!" Hana suddenly giggled as she ran up to me and tugged on my hand for me to kneel down to her height.
"Hm?~ What is it Hana-chan?"
She glanced up to AI and then over her shoulder to where the other Quartet Night members who are now walking closer to us. "I can't say with them so close..." The platinum blonde whispered.
I barely heard her mumbled words and couldn't help but to chuckle. "You four, go away from us for a second." I barked which caught them all off guard. "We have a secret to share with each other and you being here is a problem."
Reiji and Ranmaru stuck their tongues out at me as themselves, AI, and Camus all made there way a little ways away from Hana and I. I gave her a reassuring smile as I gestured for her to speak.
Hana moved a bit so she could easily whisper into my ear and keep it absolutely secret from Quartet Night. "I think I like the white haired one." She whispered and then giggled.
"You mean Ranmaru?" I whispered back and she nodded, causing me to laugh as I looked over to the four men who are currently giving us both confused looks. Looking back to Hana, I smiled giddily. "Ya know, I think he likes you too."
Hana began giggling even more as she suddenly blushed a bit and then ran towards the door that leads inside the orphanage. "I have to go now, by onee-chan! Bye Ran-chan!"
Ranmaru's eyes widened slightly as Camus and Reiji snickered at the new nickname that little munchkin had given him. I giggled a bit as well while standing back up and walking over to the Quartet.
"She's a sweetheart." Reiji cooed.
"She doesn't seem nearly as bad as most rude and ignorant children her age." Camus added on with a slight smile.
AI and Ranmaru just silently nodded their heads in agreement.
"She seems like a great little munchkin." I agreed. "So what are your four doing here anyways?"
Camus, AI, and Ranmaru all turned their attentions to Reiji as he just looked at me with innocent eyes. "I wanted to know who you were visiting so I found you, you're My Girl after all."
My breath hitched for a moment because of his words and that closed eyed smile he's giving me. Turning my face away from the Quartet, I made sure to try and suppress my blush. "I'm not your girl Rei-chan..." I mumbled in response.
He seriously shouldn't call me that.
Him always calling me "My Girl" is giving me fangirl attacks at the worst of moments. It's like he turns into his idol persona every time he says that and my heart physically can't handle that.
"Of course you're My Girl!" Reiji sang as he wrapped an arm around my shoulder and brought me closer to him. "You're Otoyan's friend so that makes you My Girl.~"
My smile faltered at that.
He's only being nice to me because I'm Otoya's childhood friend... No wonder these four took me in like they have. It's not like they could exactly leave me out on the streets when they're the senpai's of my idiot friends.
I'm nothing more than Otoya's friend to them...
The five of us left the orphanage and began walking back to the apartment. AI and Camus were calmly talking to each other while Ranmaru and Reiji began bickering about who knows what. I walked a few steps behind them, keeping to myself as my thoughts ran wild.
Why did I ever think that they thought of me as a friend of their own? I'm just some random girl they picked up off the streets a week ago who happens to be friends with their kouhai's. That's all I am and that's all I'll ever be.
But this shouldn't hurt me as much as it does... I didn't even think I'd meet these amazing people again after our first encounter at lunch so I should be grateful that I've even been allowed to become as close to them as I have.
I'm seriously in need of a reality check.
The second we got back to the apartment, I was practically pushed towards the kitchen and forced to cook dinner. Though I couldn't concentrate the entire time because of my reoccurring thoughts from earlier. Even as I sat at the dining room table and ate with the four idols that occupy my thoughts, I couldn't get rid of them.
"Oi, eat your food." Ranmaru suddenly barked at me from the opposite side of the table.
Shaking my head lightly, I looked up only to find him staring me down. "I was eating." I shot back playfully regardless of the fact I'm not in the mood to really converse with anyone or eat this food.
Reiji glanced towards me as I began picking at my food, but no one else spoke to myself as they ate their own meals. Once I finished eating, I got up from my seat and wandered over to the guest room. Seeing them is making it way more difficult to try and distance my mind from the false reality I've been living in for the last few days.
Maybe I should just go to sleep for the night. Yeah, going to the orphanage usually puts me in a lonely and depressed type of mood anyways so sleep is just what I need.
Maybe sleep can free me from my thoughts...
