[Sweet Memories]

[Chapter 1]

Author's Note:

Right so I've planning out this Love Live x Ensemble Stars Crossover fanfic probably since last year, a good portion of this fanfic was inspired by Song of Waiting Love by thebelloflove and What if μ's enrolled into Yumenosaki by Kazuki-Rina as such I hope you all enjoy this little fanfic.

Do you believe in the Red String of Fate?

This mysterious string that is tied to a person's little finger and on the opposite end of the string is the person's soul mate and beloved. Well in all honestly I believe in it. That someday we'll find that person on the opposite end of the String maybe someday we will eventually.

Of course it won't be that easy after all, sometimes you'll mistake someone as the person on the other side of the string only to be proven wrong, sometimes you'll walk past the person on the opposite end and not realize that he or she is the one.

But like all searches, the search for the person on the opposite end of the string will be all the more worth it knowing that person will be the one who will accompany you till eternity. Like I said it won't be right away it might even take years for one to find out, but it will be all the more worth it in the end.

"What a day," Honoka said as she, Kotori and Umi are heading home. "I'm pretty beat."

"But you were late on the practice earlier," Umi told her along the way.

"Yeah I know sorry but—" Honoka said making a sheepish smile but she was cut short as she spotted a group of young men walking out of Homura, but the most eye-catching among them at least to Honoka was a young man with smooth black short hair and deep blue eyes.

"Oh hey they're from Yumenosaki," Kotori said as she watched them walked away.

"Yumenosaki?" Honoka asked turning to Kotori while occasionally glancing at the retreating group of young men.

"They're famous for having a large number of Male Idol groups there," Umi explained to Honoka as they make their way inside Homura. "Several of which are pretty famous actually so it would make sense that they seem somewhat familiar."

"Well yeah I've seen them a few times online," Honoka said placing a hand on her chin to think. "But somehow one of them feels oddly familiar I just can't seem to figure out why."

The next day the other members of µ are off doing other things that day so Honoka decided to go out and look around. Making her way to the park, she spotted the same young man from before sitting next to her on the swings.

"I feel like I've met him somewhere but I can't seem to figure out," She muttered quietly but she then turned to the young man and said. "Um excuse me I'm sorry if this sounds wierd but have we met somewhere before? I feel like we already did."

"Well that's because we did," He chuckled, he looked at the playground where a group of kids are playing. "I used to go here with my grandmother and I'd notice you and two other girls play here, eventually you noticed me and asked me to play with you three."

Honoka remained silent as she put the pieces together in her head. And then it suddenly clicked to her to a realization.

"Hokuto-kun?" Honoka asked, he simply chuckled.

"Good to see you again Honoka," He smiled.

"It's good to see you again too," She smiled back.

Kousaka Honoka and Hidaka Hokuto are somewhat what you may call as Childhood friends, while he wasn't close to Umi and Kotori only meeting them a few times when they were younger, Hokuto at one point during their childhood befriended Honoka though and the since then the two became quick friends. But by the time they reached middle school the two has lost contact as Hokuto moved away.

After realizing that, Honoka and Hokuto quickly started catching up with both of them telling stories about their friends and about Yumenosaki and Otonokizaka. And as it turns out, Hokuto discovering or in this case rediscovering Homura was purely by coincidence since Hokuto and his friends were heading home Hokuto decided to buy some snacks only to be greeted by Honoka's mother who was surprised as well but somehow managed to keep quiet on the whole thing towards Honoka much to her chagrin.

The next day Honoka smiled happily as she walked past the hallways, this somewhat earned the curiosity of Kotori and Umi, while she was always in a cheerful mood this time she was even more so as she has able to reunite with Hokuto.

"You're pretty cheerful today," Kotori greeted her as she watched her sit down.

"Well more than usual anyway," Umi commented earning a giggle from Kotori.

"Remember the time my shop had some Yumenosaki boys as customers?" Honoka asked with her usual cheerful smile. "As it turns out that was Hokuto-kun and his friends."

"I always did notice someone familiar within that group," Umi spoke. "What is he like after all these years?"

"Yeah what's he like?" Kotori asked curious from the entire event.

"Well let's see he's grown taller, unlike back then when I was the taller one between the two of us, he's seems to be laid back but confident most of the time too." She explained her encounter. "Which is pretty funny given how he's a shy cry baby back then too."

"Well that makes sense given his job," Umi said, with Kotori nodding in agreement.

"Job? What do you mean by that?" Honoka asked both of them exchanged glances Umi with look that indicates that she'd expected this whole thing to happen while Kotori gave a look that says 'Yeah this was to be expected.'

"I knew she had no clue about that little detail," Umi muttered while Kotori simply giggled. Umi simply pulled out her phone and showed it to Honoka. "This should explain everything."

Honoka looked at the video on Umi which then revealed a group of four handsome young men, two of which wore matching checkered red clothes and two wore matching checkered blue clothes.

She quietly watched as the four of them which was called Trickstar sang a song called Rebellion Star as soon as the song ended, however, she gave them a confused look.

"What does this have to do with Hokuto-kun though?"

Umi quietly rewinds the video and stopped it at a specific moment and upon noticing it Honoka spotted a familiar young man in a checkered blue shirt.

"Oh hey, it's Hokuto-kun," Honoka commented she was about to ask once more but her eyes widened in surprise and turned her attention to the same video.

"Wait Hokuto-kun is an idol from Yumenosaki!"

"Why didn't you tell me that you were an Idol too," Honoka asked him in a half glare half pout, Hokuto find that look of hers somewhat endearing, the two coincidentally met up that day on the swings at the park later that day.

"You didn't bother to ask," He simply answered, which was true. "Also don't you have practice for you and the µ's today?"

"Wait you knew?" She asked in a surprised tone.

"Of course," Hokuto smirked at her. "Your group is quite popular too at my school too you know."

"Oh, but why didn't you told me that you were in an Idol group, not to mention you actually know about me being in the µ's as well." She pouted at him.

"I was planning to," Hokuto replied with a shrug. "But your mother told me otherwise as a means of surprise."

"And you agreed with it?" She asked in slight disbelief.

"Well at first I didn't," He replied and started to swing for a bit. "But I figured I'd miss the opportunity so I decided, why not?"

"Ugh…" She looked down slightly embarrassed and annoyed at her mother's choice. "Well, I have to admit you were pretty cool during that performance."

"I'd say the same too," Hokuto smiled at her. "Though I was wondering if you've started to be more mature minded but from the looks of things you haven't changed a bit it seems."

"Hey!" Honoka stood up in an angry pout.

"I'm stating the obvious," Hokuto chuckled.
