Eight years later...

The sunlight shone slowly over the dormitory of the Master Course. Mainly the STARISH and Quartet Night are living there. After their, the STARISH's debut along with their new member, Aijima Cecil, their lives had been more lively as ever but happy. Today was different from the other days, it was their day-off as seniors and juniors. Another way of wanting to do everything they want for the whole day. This was one of the rarest days they get to experience especially when both bands are very well-known in the social media.

"Syo-chaaaaaaan~"A tall blond squealed out running after another blond that was shorter than him. The former was wearing glasses with something in his hands.

"Stop it, Natsuki!" Syo said while running for his life from the blond named, Natsuki. "Stop chasing me!"

Even after running as fast as he could, Natsuki eventually caught him and placed something on his head. Syo was now wearing a bunny hat while his fedora dropped to the ground. Natsuki took out his phone and started taking photos of him wearing the cute hat.

"You're so cute, Syo-chan!" Natsuki exclaimed while taking pictures of the blond at every angle that he could possibly get.

Shinomiya Natsuki, Syo's childhood friend and roommate, is one of the members of STARISH along with Kurusu Syo. He may be cute and small but he is braver than anyone else despite his appearance.

"JUST HOW MANY ARE YOU GONNA TAKE?!" Syo finally snapped. Yes, the "words" he hated have finally triggered him. Natsuki just laughed at him and beamed at him. "You even look cute when you're mad."

"DON'T CALL ME CUTE!" Syo shrieked while a vein was popping from his temples.

The others sweatdropped at the scene they are witnessing."They're so lively!" A certain redhead said as he laughed. He was holding a guitar that had the same color of his hair. Otoya watched them while smiling as the two kept on bickering. Well, Syo was the only one doing it.

"They were close since they were kids, after all." Tokiya said as he looked to his left and asked the one who was beside him. "By the way, where's Nanami-san?"

"She said the president called her for something." Masato said as he sipped his tea calmly.

"It must be important." Ren said who was leaning against the wall. All of them waited for their composer, Nanami Haruka. The red head strummed his guitar making a very calm tune out of it.

"That's a nice tune, Otoya." Cecil said as he stopped playing his flute as he looked at him. Otoya grinned at him. "Thanks, Cecil!"

"Ikki has improve a lot as I can see." Ren stated as he walked over to them after from leaning against the wall. He grabbed the remote and turned on the television as he sat down the comfy couch with Tokiya and Masato. Everyone's eyes were now set on the program being broadcast.

"Now let's take a sneak peek on today's newest idol!"

"Newest... idol?" They all thought at once. The screen turned to a girl with jet black hair while singing and playing a keytar on the stage. The voice and singing pattern made Syo snapped his head towards the television that got his full attention. He blinked as his lips parted a bit as he listened.

"This voice..." He muttered under his breath. "It's so familiar for some reason..."

Syo closed his eyes as he  continued listening to the song.

An image appeared in his head.

A girl.

"Huh?"

Since the day, I met you

A melody has started in my heart

From the fields of unknown

A flower grew within this bond

He hummed the tune to himself as his foot began to tap on the floor continuously. "This song is somehow very familiar to me..." He thought as small smile formed on his lips. When the song ended, he opened his eyes to see everyone staring at him. Syo blinked and asked, "What?"

Everyone remained quiet until Otoya broke it. "Are you alright? You were humming to yourself and when we called your name, you just ignored us and continued to listen to the song."

The blond blinked again then he felt all his blood went up straight to his face. "I was doing that and they were staring at me?!" He mentally screamed in his mind as his chibi self was in his embarrassment corner.

"It seems like Ochibi-chan has a new crush." Ren teased while chuckling.

"NO I DON'T!" He yelled at him. "O-Of course she has a nice voice and all... and... DON'T CALL ME THAT!"

"You picked someone very pretty and cute, Syo-chan." Natsuki said, patting his head which made the latter more irritated and resulting into exploding.

"STOP IT!" Syo yelled in anger and his face was all red. Not from anger but from embarrassment. "I DON'T LIKE HER!"

"So you're saying she's not pretty?" Natsuki asked while placing a Piyo-chan hat on him. He made a disappointed face as he shook his head. "That's rude, Syo-chan."

"N-No... I-I was... I just... GAAAAAHHHHH!" Syo buried his face on the pillow next to him and sat on the other couch with Otoya. "Dang it! Do you ever stop, Natsuki?!"

"Hahaha! You're so cute Syo-chan~"

"DON'T CALL ME THAT!"

The room filled with laughter until Nanami swung open the door.

"I'm sorry for being late!" She said as she bowed politely.

"It's alright, Nanami." Otoya exclaimed with a grin. It soon disappeared as it was replaced with a questionable face. "What did you and the president talked about?"

"I'm interested what you and the president talked about too, Lady." Ren said while looking at her with a knowing smirk.

"Oh now he's interested?" Tokiya thought bluntly. Before the others can ask her furthermore, Haruka walked up to the second youngest member of STARISH. She flashed a smile at him and clasped her hands.

"Eh? Nanami?"

"Congratulations, Syo-kun!" Haruka exclaimed happily.

Small imaginary question marks began to form around Syo and the others. "W-What for?" The blond stammered with the question.

"Well, you're—"

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" She was interrupted by a laugh in the whole room. All of them sweatdropped at this and exactly knew who it was immediately.

"Not again..." They all said in unison. Shining Saotome appeared out of nowhere because he was now currently behind them all. Everyone flinched and looked at their backs where their president is.

"Cooooooooongraaaaaaaaatuuuuuulaaatiiiiiiooooonsssssss, indeed." He said while nodding and doing some random dancing moves. Everyone looked at him weirdly and just continued to listen. "You are very luuuuuuucky to be chosen for this agreemeeeeeeeeeent."

"Eh? Agreement? What agreement?" Syo made a confused face and started scratching his chin, really confused on what he was saying.

"It means you'll be having a fiancée!" Ringo exclaimed who just came in with Hyuuga, the former S-Class teacher of Saotome Academy. The others gawked at the male cross dresser. Syo was in the state of shock. Did he heard him clearly? Or are his ears playing with him?

Silence...

Deadly Silence...

More deadly Silence...

Extremely More deadly Silen—

"EHHHHHHHHHHHHHH?!"

"F-F-F-F-Fiancée?! W-What t-the heck?!" Syo shrieked while blushing and he was clearly demanding an explanation.

"You, sir!" Shining started with his almighty voice. "Have been chosen to be the fiancée of another idol in the agency."

"The Shining agency plans to cooperate with that agency." Hyuuga explained, crossing his arms. "By cooperating with them, Shining and the other president decided to make a proposal. With that, the ratings would move up along with the popularity system."

"But I thought romance was forbidden in the world of idols." Masato said with a little surprise tone. An index finger was then right in front of his face to make him not say anything further.

"Yes, yes. BUT Mr. Kurusu and his fiancée are an exception!" Shining Saotome said as he waved his finger.

"May I ask what agency is that?" Tokiya asked curiously.

"That would be the Stride Agency."

Ren arched an eyebrow with a little surprise. "That agency?"

"You know of it, Ren?" Otoya tilted his head to Ren who just set down his guitar. He nodded in reply, "That agency is a tough one. Only talented singers or performers can be accepted into that agency."

"Now that everything is settled. Be prepared!" Shining roared as he grabbed a rope ladder from who-knows-where it came out of the window. "She will be coming tomorrow! For now... Bye! Bye! Byeeeeee!"

After everyone watched him drift away from the window, their attention then settled on the youngest member of STARISH. Syo was standing on the floor frozen stiff while gaping like a fish.

"Syo-chan?" Natsuki waved a hand in front of his face.

"O-Oi. Are you okay?" Otoya questioned with a worried look.

"Syo-kun?" Haruka poked one of his cheeks, hoping to get a reaction.

No response...

"It's official..." Ren said as he placed his hands on his hips. "He's broken."

"Is he gonna be all right?" Cecil asked worriedly.

"From the mental shock that the president gave, I would say no." Masato stated as he looked at Syo. Everyone tried to make Syo snapped out of it while Ringo and Hyuuga left them for some privacy.

"Hey, Syo! I accidentally broke one of your CD's." Otoya nervously said as he didn't want to get hit by the smaller blond but there was no choice. They had to make him snap out of it.

Nothing...

Breaking one of his valuables: Failed.

"Ochibi-chan, I burned one of your favorite hats." Ren said proudly, smirking in amusement. He was enjoying this. A lot.

"Did he actually do it?" They all thought as a bead of sweat rolled down their cheeks.

No reply...

Name calling and burning one of his hats: Failed.

A sigh escaped from their lips as they tried everything to trigger him at least but nothing seemed to work. "What are we going to do?" Tokiya asked as he looked at Syo who was still frozen.

"Hmmm..." They all thought for a moment until Natsuki gave out an "Aha!" then he walked up to the small teen. They blinked at the taller male's action.

"Natsuki, what do you have in mind?" Cecil asked while tilting his head.

"This!" Natsuki brought out a megaphone which caused the others to gape at him.

"N-Natsuki, what are you planning to do with that?" Otoya stuttered while doing his best to smile.

"Just watch and see~"

The others gulped and covered their ears. Natsuki smiled and placed the megaphone right next to the younger blond's ear. He took a deep breath and then...

"YOU'RE SO CUTE, SYO-CHAAAAAAANNNNN~!"

The group flinched at his outburst. His yell through the megaphone echoed throughout the whole dormitory.

Meanwhile, Reiji fell out from his bed. Ranmaru fell down from his chair. Ai had drawn a straight line on his music sheet but still kept his passive face. Camus spat his tea out of surprise. The Quartet Night had a very nice evening indeed.

"S-Shi-Shinomiya-san. . . I think you went a bit too far." Haruka stammered out as a bead of sweat rolled down from his cheek. Natsuki looked at them all and blinked out of confusion. They pointed at the one behind him. He looked behind him but saw no one. He glanced down and saw Syo's unconscious self.

His soul flying out of his mouth.

"Syo-chan! /Syo-kun! / Syo!"

It was indeed a very eventful night for the STARISH. One question formed inside each one of their minds: Who is Syo's fiancée?

Phew~ Chapter 2 was an eventful one~ Wonder what's gonna happen next~

Ehe~ Let's wait until chapter 3 then~

Until then, everyone!

Bye bye~! O 7 O
