Previously in Love Live!

Honoka: We met a fan of Muse's which goes by the name (Y/N)!

Kotori: He's been a fan of us ever since we debuted!

Honoka: And so, I decided to go and ask him...

The scene shows (Y/N) and Honoka having lunch together from the previous episode.

Honoka: Can I be your friend?

(Y/N): Huh? Are you sure?

Honoka: Yeah! I'm serious. I don't think you're a bad person. You just wanted some accompany if needed.

The scene then shows Honoka thinking about (Y/N) while in her room with Umi's voice in the background.

Umi: With him being our friend, the story continues!

(Y/N)'s POV

Tuesday, Morning

(Y/N): I'm leaving!

I bid goodbye to my parents before closing the door behind me and head straight to school.

I admit that the morning is just so beautiful while I'm walking to school. The fresh cold wind that blows right to my face is just right.

???: Good morning!

I heard the familiar voice and it's Honoka with her childhood friends this time. I approached them closer and greet them.

(Y/N): Good morning.

Umi: Are you by yourself, (Y/N)-san?

(Y/N): That's right. I don't really have anyone to wait for, so that's why I just head straight to school.

Kotori: Now, you do have one.

(Y/N): Or maybe three.

She giggled to my jokes and I laughed along while Umi just smiled. For Honoka... she seems to be jealous.

(Y/N): What's wrong, Honoka-san?

Honoka: Huh? I-It's nothing!

I have a feeling that she has a problem, but I shrugged it off and we continue heading to school. Once we arrived at Otonokizaka High School, we entered the building and I excuse myself from the girls.

(Y/N): My class is this way.

Honoka: Okay! Then, can we meet again during lunch?

(Y/N): Absolutely.

With that, we went separate ways to our classroom and the homeroom begins.

Timeskip...

Otonokizaka High School

Tuesday, Afternoon

I'm once again sitting under the shady tree while enjoying my lunch. I admit that I actually enjoy some peace and quiet sometimes.

Honoka: May I sit beside you?

As I expected, it's Honoka and she's alone.

(Y/N): Sure thing.

She smiled and sat close to me and begin eating her lunch.

(Y/N): Where's Umi-san and Kotori-san?

Honoka: They got some business to do, so they told me to just have lunch with you.

(Y/N): I see... Then, you're more than welcome to join me. That is, if you're not busy with things.

Honoka: Yeah!

We ate lunch together and then Honoka spoke up.

Honoka: Hey (Y/N)-san, I have a few questions if you don't mind.

(Y/N): What is it?

Honoka: Do you... have a girlfriend?

I was shocked by the question. I didn't expect her to ask me this.

Honoka: I-I'm sorry if I asked something weird. It's okay if you don't want to answer.

She laughed as if I should have just not answer it, but I decided to tell her anyway.

(Y/N): Do I look like someone that deserves to get one?

That's another way of me saying "no".

Honoka: Y-You do! But, why?

(Y/N): Remember what I said before? About how I'm not attractive and that people would often judge someone from their outside whether or not the judged person deserves to be their friend?

She took a few moment to recall about our conversation on Monday.

Honoka: Y-Yeah, I guess you have a point.

She gave an awkward laugh to me as I sighed.

Honoka: If you felt lonely, I'm here! I'll accompany you if possible!

(Y/N): Anything else you want to ask?

Honoka: Do you have any interests that you have other than being a fan of u's?

(Y/N): Well, I don't really have any right now. My interest in things changes over time and never permanent. I got burned out and try out new things instead. If I ran out of new profession, I would go to the ones that I've done.

Honoka: At least, you do various things instead of just being pondering.

(Y/N): You're right. Any more questions?

As Honoka was about to ask more, we heard voices calling Honoka.

???: There you are, Honoka-chan.

It's Umi-san with Kotori-san with her.

Umi: What did you two talked about?

Honoka: Umm... Uhh...

She cannot mutter a word.

(Y/N): She just asked me about myself for two questions so far.

I answered for her since she's nervous of doing so.

Umi: You guys are slowly getting close to each other.

Kotori: Are you two...

She didn't want to finish the sentence by purpose because it would be too awkward to say it. So, I just answered her...

(Y/N): We're not. Want to have lunch together?

Umi: We were thinking the same thing too.

I saw the frown again from Honoka. I can tell that she's not happy when her friend's interrupting our time alone.

We finished our lunch, cleaned up and head straight back to our classroom.

Honoka's POV

Tuesday, Afternoon

Right now, we're having rehearsal for our upcoming new song. It was quite tiring, but we managed to practice really well.

Umi: Alright! Let's take a short break!

Everyone else's talking to each other about our upcoming performance while I was just thinking about me with (Y/N)-san recently.

Nozomi: What are you thinking about?

Our of nowhere, Nozomi shows up close to me and I got shocked.

Kotori: Is it (Y/N)-san?

Eli: Who is that?

Eli-chan asked Kotori and now I'm embarrassed that they now knew about him.

Umi: Our new friend who's a big fan of us ever since u's got formed.

Hanayo: How come we don't know about this?

Kotori: He only met me, Umi-chan and Honoka-chan for now.

Rin: Let's invite him here later, nya!

Nozomi: How does he look like?

Kotori: Here.

She showed her phone with (Y/N)'s picture on it to the others.

Honoka: How did you-

Kotori: I took it secretly without both of you knowing.

Nico: Is this the (Y/N)-san you mentioned?

Maki: You're right he is.

She stared at the picture for a while.

Nico: Maki? Hey, Maki? Are you okay?

Maki: Huh? I-I'm fine.

We went back to rehearsal after done talking about (Y/N)-san.

Tuesday, Night

Kousaka's Residence

That night, I was laying down in my room after taking a bath. As I was thinking about Love Live, (Y/N-san then crossed my mind.

Honoka: I can't... get him off my head.

I know that we just met, but I cannot get rid of this feeling. It's like I don't ever want him to leave me.

Honoka: I need to see him again tomorrow.

I think... I have a crush on him already.

Wednesday, Afternoon

We just finished homeroom for the day. As I was about to leave to my usual spot, someone called me.

Female Classmate: Wait up, (L/N)-san!

It's actually my classmate and she seems to be in trouble.

(Y/N): Oh, it's you. What do you want?

Female Classmate: If you don't mind, can I ask you for some help on this part? I didn't really catch up with what the teacher said.

She showed me the question she has problems with.

(Y/N): Oh, this is easy. I'll break it down for you.

So, I helped her out about the part where she struggles and she manages to catch up... slowly, at least.

Female Classmate: Wow! You're really good in this!

(Y/N): Gotta let myself be reliable at least once, after all.

Female Classmate: Hehe, that's why I like you for it.

The compliment made me blush a little and she laughed.

Female Classmate: You're blushing, you're blushing! Anyway, thanks for the help!

She thanked me before leaving and it made me smile. Then, I heard someone said...

???: Who are you talking to?

I was surprised by the sudden voice and it turns out to be Honoka. She was not happy with what she saw and I wonder why.

Honoka: You seem to have fun chatting with her.

She sounds slightly annoyed.

(Y/N): She's my classmate, Honoka. She just wanted to ask about what we learned today.

Honoka: Good. Anyway...

She hugged my right arms all of a sudden and dragged me along with her.

Honoka: Let's go and eat! We're running out of time!

I don't know why is she rushing me today and I feel odd.

(Y/N): S-Slow down, Honoka! Hey!

Wednesday, Night

That night, I just finished my homework and decided to listen to more songs from u's.

Then, a question crossed over my mind about yandere. I don't know why am I curious about it suddenly. I searched them up on the Internet and here's what it says.

"Signs of a yandere may include extreme jealousy, stalking behavior, and a willingness to harm others in order to protect or be with their love interest. It's important to note that yandere behavior is a fictional trope and not a clinical diagnosis."

After reading the signs, I thought to myself...

(Y/N): If someone in real life becomes a yandere, then they might be a murderer at some point.

I'm slightly worried that Honoka has these signs that indicates she's becoming a yandere. However, I don't believe that. I guess she just wanted my attention, so I should get myself ready just in case.

Honoka's POV

I'm on my bed, laying down while hugging my pillow and fantasizing about (Y/N). He's just a really nice person, and I hope that he didn't find me annoying.

Honoka: Kyaaaah~ (Y/N)-kun, you're so cute!

I fantasize about him and then I got myself normal again.

Yukiho: Onee-chan, why are you hugging the pillow like that?

Honoka: Ah! N-Nothing! It's not about (Y/N)-san-

I covered my mouth when I accidentally blurted out (Y/N).

Yukiho: (Y/N)? Wh-Who's that?

She asked me about him and I told her the false information.

Honoka: I-It was just a name I thought to myself in my head!

Yukiho: Really?

She gave me the look of disbelief and I sighed in defeat.

Honoka: He's actually a big fan of u's.

Yukiho: I see...

She just stared at me as if I'm weird, then she said...

Yukiho: But, I'd never seen you being this lovey dovey to a fan.

Honoka: I-It was just an acting! I'm not obsessed with him or anything!

Yukiho: Are you sure?

Honoka: Yeah! I'm telling the truth!

She stare at me for a bit and she believed me.

Yukiho: If you say so, then alright.

She leave the room right after and I sighed in relief. I lied to my own little sister that I didn't have an obsession with (Y/N).

It's true. Now, I have a crush on (Y/N) and I'll do whatever I can to make sure no one else gets him.

Friday, Afternoon

Lately, Honoka has been wanting to have lunch with me during recess. Not that I'm annoyed or anything, but I just wanted her to at least give me some time for myself.

While we're having lunch, I asked her a question.

(Y/N): Aren't you supposed to be with your childhood friends?

Honoka: No. I want to be with you.

She takes a piece of her meal and commands me to open my mouth.

Honoka: Enough talk, it's time to eat. Here, ahh~

She wants to feed me, but I refused.

(Y/N): There's no need for you to-

Honoka: I said, here! Ahh!~

She interrupted me mid sentence as she repeat louder and I ate her food anyway. Her food's delicious, but I don't like it when I'm being spoiled too much.

Honoka: How was it?

(Y/N): It wosh guf! (It was good!)

I said with my mouth full and she giggled.

Honoka: Glad you liked it!

She then continue feeding me more while leaving some for herself.

Honoka's POV

Umi: One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight...

It's another rehearsal and we went for  an all-out practice because Love Live is in few days. We danced along with the rhythm of Umi-chan's clap.

Umi: One, two, three, four, five, six, seven...

On the last number, I tripped and fell down. Then, Umi-chan gave me a stern look.

Kotori: Honoka-chan!

Eli: Are you okay?

Honoka: I-I'm okay.

Once the rehearsal's done for the day, everyone else went home includes Kotori. Me and Umi is the only one on the rooftop.

Umi: Honoka...

Umi stopped me on my tracks and gave me a serious look.

Umi: We need to talk... alone.

So, we went somewhere empty at school for our private conversation.

Honoka: What is it that you-

Umi: Having fun with (Y/N) and forgetting your own childhood friend?

I got interrupted by her and she knew what am I up to.

Honoka: What do you mea-

Umi: Answer me.

She said coldly and I answered her.

Honoka: N-No, I'm not!

Umi: Then, why do you keep wanting to see (Y/N)-san during lunch?

Honoka: That's because...

Umi: Can't even come up with something, do you? Ever since you met him, you're slowly becoming oddly closer like you're afraid he would hang out with someone else.

What she said is actually true. I have the entire school as not just my fans, but also my friends. I have the school idol girls who understands each other of what we went through. And yet... I ignored them to go for a guy who I just met few days ago.

Umi: Are you jealous?

However, I don't care if I'm not happy with something. I'll work hard to get the happiness that I want.

Honoka: So, what if I do?

Umi: You got to understand. Love Live is getting closer. If we win this, then... you can fall in love for all I care!

Honoka: You cannot tell me what to do.

I retaliated back to Umi-chan. She's gotten on my nerves with her questioning.

Umi: What?

Honoka: It's between me and (Y/N)-kun. Why do you care about our business, huh?

The moment I said it, she was taken aback and got furious.

Umi: You...!

She was about to slap me, but I grabbed her arms right before it hits my cheek.

Umi: What are you-

I threw her arms back too hard that she fell down to the floor.

Umi: H-Honoka... are you really going crazy for a guy?

Honoka: So, what?! I'll practice more for Love Live if he loves me!

I leave her behind while I'm on my way to search for (Y/N). As much as my heart hurts from me being harsh to Umi-chan, I still want (Y/N)-kun to be my boyfriend... or I'll do unimaginable things.

(Y/N)'s POV

I'm on my way home currently after I stopped by a shop to buy some snacks. Then, I went to the riverside and enjoy the view while eating my snacks before going back home.

???: Hey, (Y/N)-kun~

I heard a voice calling my name with "-kun". I didn't remember if anyone would call me that way. I turned around and it was Honoka.

(Y/N): Oh, it's you.

Honoka: What are you doing?

(Y/N): Just enjoying the view of the riverside.

Honoka: Can I sit beside you?

(Y/N): I... wanted some time alone. Don't you have Love Live coming up soon?

Honoka: I've practiced enough for today. So, I'm meeting you here.

She's this stubborn to not understand that I need some privacy.

(Y/N): Umm... I need to go now.

I was about to leave, but she grabbed my hand and pushed me back.

Honoka: Where do you think you're going, (Y/N)-kun?~

She pinned me down to the ground and her face's way too close to mine.

(Y/N): H-Honoka, you're way too close to me.

Honoka: Oh, then you want me to get closer until we touched?~

Is this what they called the "yandere" trait? I guess that explains why Honoka's not happy with me talking to someone else currently.

(Y/N): What's with you?

Honoka: I'm here to tell you something.

She paused for a bit because she's nervous to say it.

Honoka: I love you.

I was genuinely... quite surprised when she confesses her love to me. This is the first time in my life that I got a love confession by someone.

(Y/N): B-But why?

Honoka: Your kindness is what makes me fall for you.

(Y/N): Honoka, you shouldn't be with me. I just wanted to be your friend and a fan of u's. Besides, it's too early for us to fall in love yet.

Honoka: Oh, I don't see any problems with that~

She continues being seductive and glare at me.

Honoka: I won't ever let you go and be with someone else that I don't know of.

Her eyes darkened and it's scaring me.

(Y/N): H-Honoka...

Yup, as expected. She's showing her yandere self.

Honoka: This is your punishment for not accepting me.

She kissed me forcefully on the lips while holding both of my arms tightly to avoid me escaping her.

Her lips is too soft and she's too tempting that it made me give in to her. I didn't fight back because to be honest, I'm actually okay with this.

(Y/N): Mmmmph... Honoka...

Honoka: Mmmph... (Y/N)... kun...

She wrapped her arms around me and I did the same.

Honoka: I won't let you go away until you said you love me back.

She actually sticks to her words. She pinned me hard with her legs wrapped around mine and it hurts, to be honest. I decided to just give in and accept her as my new school idol girlfriend.

(Y/N): P-Please... I'll obey you from now on. I'll be the best boyfriend and a big fan of u's.

Honoka: Good.

She let go if me and then hugged me. I'm not going to lie, she's so warm and her hair is fragrant. Then, the feelings disappeared when I thought that if she might hurt someone.

(Y/N): ... Did you do anything to the female classmate I talked to?

Honoka: I'm not sure, how about you figure it out?~

(Y/N): Please, I need to know.

Not going to lie, I was shocked.

Honoka: Relax, I just gave her a warning to not talk to you again or else, she'll suffer. So, she obeyed me.

(Y/N): That's good. I have a request to ask of you.

Honoka: Ask away, my love.

(Y/N): Now that I have become your boyfriend, I want you to focus on winning Love Live. I promise that I'll be by your side and attend every u's live. Also, please apologize to Umi.

Honoka: How about you stop mentioning about other people?~

(Y/N): I will if we promised to follow each other's request.

She was quiet for a few seconds to think whether or not she would accept.

Honoka: Fine, I'll do it... for you, (Y/N)-kun.

She kissed my cheek and I'm a bit relieved with her answer. With that, I have a yandere idol girlfriend... that doesn't murder anyone yet.
