What Is Love?

Yume stares at Subaru continuously. This makes him to have a red flush on his cheek. They have just meet Principal Moroboshi in his office.

Principal Moroboshi stares at them seriously for a while. Finally, he speaks out to break the silence. " You should know that our school is still in financial problem even though Lily Shirogane has helped a lot for this. Aikatsu TV invites you two to have a show together and they will pay one hundred million dollars for this. I think you two can help with the school's financial problems by having a travel in the whole country as a pair of lover..." " What?! " They scream at the same time with surprise and a little bit of excitement. " Of course, it is just a show. When you are enjoying your date, staffs will hide and shoot for it. This can get a lot of attention from the public and raise the reputation of school. " Yume and Subaru look at each other's eyes , but then move away their sight from each other immediately after realizing their eye-contact. They both blush slightly with  rosiness on their cheeks. " What is your answer? I really hope that you will accept this invitation. " " Okay... " They both walk out from the office with embarrassment. " Subaru kun... Have you had your breakfast? If not, you can eat with me... and talk about the show... " Yume murmurs with shyness. " I have not have breakfast... Of course I am willing to go with you... I mean... I am so glad that ... you ask me this... " He answers with a stammer. " That's nice! Let's go to the canteen! " Yume holds his hand suddenly and rushes to the canteen with a good mood.

Yume orders a sandwich with a lot of cheese inside while Subaru orders a bowl of Macaroni with hams. They sit opposite to each other.  There are a lot of girls in the canteen. They all stare at Yume with anger and gaze at Subaru with love and fancy. Yume stares at Subaru continuously. This makes him to have a red flush on his cheek. " What happens to you...? Don't stare at me like this... stupid tomato..." Subaru murmurs when his heart is beating faster. She looks at him with innocent and annoyed face, " Do you know that I become a eyesore of the other girls now? It looks like that I will be hit by them after stepping away from you... " She has a look on the surrounding and Subaru follows her sight. " Ah... " He smirks. " So... You can follow me for a whole day without leaving to prevent from revenge from them. It is quite a good idea, tomato! Or do you just want to stay with your charming prince...? " Her face turns into totally red. " Of course not! Are you just overestimate your look? Huh! " She turns away her face. Out of her expectation, Subaru reaches his hand to her cheek. All the girls in the canteen gasp at this sight, including Yume. " How can you make some cheese stick on your cheek? Stupid tomato! " He softly wipes away the cheese on her cheek. Yume stares at his smile and feels the stronger heat on her face. " Why is my heart beating so fast? Am I going to die because of heart attack? " She thinks in her mind. Suddenly, she feels that Subaru is giving a flick on her forehead. " Painful! " She covers her forehead by her both hand. " You should not always daydreaming, stupid tomato. Actually, are you dreaming about our Japan tour? " He smirk with slyness. Yume's face is now filled with anger and embarrassment. " None of your business!!! " " Of course not! You are my girlfriend now! Therefore, I should know everything about you! " Subaru replies when walking to her left hand side and hugging her from the side. Scream of anger is produced all around the canteen. " Hey, tomato! We should immediately leave now! " After his words, he lifts up Yume and walks away from the canteen. After they leave, they can only hear a more louder scream is produced from the inside. And the voice seems to belong to Ako...

" Put me down! Put me down! " Yume struggles out from his arms. Subaru obeys and gently puts her on the bench nearby. " How can do this in front of the others? It is... embarrassing... " Yume moves aside her face to hide her flush on the cheek. " But I feel quite good about this... " She tries to murmur in a really soft voice to hide her happiness. Subaru sits next to her and hugs her tightly. " Actually I could hear what you are saying just now. I am so glad that you say this... That means you really love me... " He snuggles into her chest to acquire the warmth from her. Yume hugs him back and wraps around his head. " Of course I love you... How can you not believe me? "  " Nozumu loves you... " " You are my prince charming, you know? " Subaru looks up to meet her eyes. " Really? " Yume nods with a bright smile. " My little tomato~ " He uses his fingers to poke on her cheek of both sides. " It hurts... " Yume protests with her sparkling innocent eyes. Her eyes just only makes Subaru have a sudden desire of kissing her but he holds it up. He suddenly remembers something. " Do you remember what I told you during our first date? " " Um... " Yume looks a little bit sad after remembering the things she encountered on that day. He softly pats on her head to comfort her. " I have told you that I went shopping with Hime. Actually, I was buying a gift for you... as a gift for our first date... " He pulls out something from his pocket. He hides it in his hands, so Yume cannot see it even though she move forward to see. " You said that you bought gift for a special, important person... Therefore, that important person for you is ... me...? " She asks with a light pink flush. She turns away her face to hide her red face. But Subaru lifts her chin up to force her looking at his eyes by his fingers. " Yes. You are important for me. Therefore, I have to protect you from being stolen away by the others. I want you to stay with me forever. I love you! " Although his face becomes redder and redder, he ignores the heat on his face and confesses his true feelings to her. Then, he puts a beautiful bracelet on her wrist. There is a heart decoration and a bell on it. " It is for me? It is really pretty! I love it and ... the one who give me this... " Yume says with a flush on her cheek. The atmosphere surrounding them becomes warmer and more romantic. The space between them is getting smaller and smaller. When their lips get touched, the time seems to be stopped for this romantic scene.

" Ah! " Yume exclaims loudly. " What happens? Am I making you hurt and painful? " Subaru asks with worry while embracing her softly. She shakes her head. " No. But I remember that Principal Moroboshi asked us to go to Aikatsu TV tower to discuss about our show at 12:00 p.m. ... And now is 11:30 a.m. " " Oh yes! I forget about it totally! But I have a sweet tomato to remind me~ " He winks to her and pulls her towards his private car for work. 

" Welcome to Aikatsu TV! Yuki san and Nijino san, please come here! Your manager has arrived. " The staff guides to a conference room. " Subaru san, you finally come. " A man who is wearing a suit talks to Subaru. " Sorry, Kousaka san. And sorry to you all. We have come late. " He apologizes to the director and other staff. " Ah... Not a matter. We just come here. Um... This is Nijino Yume, right? " The director asks Subaru about the girl behind him. " Yes! I am Nijino Yume! Nice to meet you, director san! " She jumps out excitedly from the back of Subaru. " Nice to meet you! Yume san! " The man with suit comes to the front of Yume. This makes the girl feel a little bit nervous. Subaru notices and introduces the man to her. " Yume, he is my manager, also the manager of M4. He is Kousaka san. " "Nice to meet you, Kousaka san! " She smiles friendly to him. Then, she sits next to Subaru closely. Kousaka san immediately feels that there is something between Yume and Subaru. " Okay, let's start our discussion. You all know about the brief information of the show, right? " " Yes. " " The show will be shot next week. We will go to different scenic spots in Japan. You two will act like a pair of couple. We will leave in this weekend. And do you have any good suggestion about the place we visit? " Yume raises up her hand at once. " Hai! " The director smiles friendly to her. " Yes, please say. " " Can we go to Okinawa? There are a beautiful beach and sea view! " " Um... Nice idea! We can add it in our proposal. " "Yeah! " Yume exclaims loudly with excitement. " Hey! Tomato! Or you just want to play in the beach? You are soooo childish! " Subaru pokes on her pretty cheek softly while teasing her. And Yume shows her red face with anger to him. " Cute~ " He teases her more. " Okay... Can you two stop ? You can play with this during the show! " The director interrupts their conservation filled with love and romance in order to continue their discussion. " Sorry... " " Okay, do you have another places to suggest? " " I think we can have a visit in Akiba. I hear that there is a very famous maid cafe in Akiba! Besides, we can go to Hokkaido! We can visit the lavender field there. It is very beautiful and romantic. Many lovers go there too. " Subaru shouts out his ideas without hesitation. " Nice! Let's visit there! " After Subaru sits back to his seat, he discovers that Yume is smiling to him with slyness. " Um... Subaru kun~ You like maid, right? " " Of course not! " Subaru shocks his head embarrassingly. " Really? And... what is the real reason for you to go to visit the lavender field which is famous for lovers~? " Subaru's face burns redder to show his true answer to the devil girl.

" Thank you for accepting our invitation and giving us so much good advice. See you on this weekend. " " Bye. " Subaru and Yume are going to leave together. " Please wait for a while, Subaru san. I want to talk to you. " Kousaka san stops Subaru from walking away. " Yes. Yume, you can go first. " " Okay, I wait you in the entrance. " Yume replies shortly when walking away. Kousaka san pulls Subaru to a corner. " Are you dating with Yume san? Can you tell me the truth? " He asked. Subaru hesitates due to nervousness. " Yes... " He is afraid that he will stop him from dating with Yume. Kousaka san has a deep thought for a while, then he finally speaks up. " Okay, I will find more jobs for you to work with Yume san. " He smiles slightly. Subaru is totally shocked. " Thanks so much! I think you will stop me before. " " I will not stop you since love can enhance your ability. But you should keep this a secret to the public. Are you alright? " " Yes! So can I leave now? " " Sure. " "Thanks ! " Subaru runs off with a big smile.

After getting to the ground floor, he hugs Yume when rushing to her. " You hug too tight... " Yume says without struggle.  " Um... sorry... but I am so happy that Kousaka san allows to date. However, we cannot announce it to the public... " Subaru lets go of her and starts explaining everything to her. " That's nice! We can have more chance to work together! I can have more time to stay with you... " They sits on a bench in a park nearby. She lays her head on Subaru's shoulder. Subaru smiles with satisfaction and uses his arms to wrap around her. " I love you... " " Me too... " The sunset provides a romantic atmosphere to them. They don't know that someone is hiding in a bush behind them. " They are dating... Yume knows that I love Subaru kun..., but she still dates with him. However, Subaru kun seems to be very happy and peaceful. I never see his expression in the magazines and the other shows, even his daily life before meeting Yume... After he met Yume, he shows more sincere smile than before. He does love Yume! I want him to be happy, so I will give up. I know this will be painful, but I want him to have true love since I love him very much! I know the true meaning of love now! Yume , you need to take care of him more! " Ako softly wipes away the tears hanging in her eyes corner. She leaves with tears with disappointment. 

" Sorry, I have an interview later. I have to leave now. Can you go back to school alone? " Subaru asks with worry and guilty. Yume nods with a big smile. " I can! Your work is more important. You should leave. I will call you after getting back the dorm. Bye! " Subaru kisses her on her forehead before rushing away. Yume softly touches her forehead to capture the remaining warmth from his kiss. She shows her sweet smile. " The sunset is so beautiful! Let's watch it before going back to school! " She sits on the bench and falls into a sleep soon. She lays on the bench and sleeps with a peaceful smile. Someone is approaching her softly. He is a tall man with light brown hair and a pair of purple eyes. He sits next to Yume and leans closer and closer to the sleeping beauty. The gap between his lip and Yume's lip is getting smaller...
