A/N: Giving Uta No Prince Sama another shot. Ren is still part of Starish, and the other boys are in this fic as well. IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, DON'T READ IT! I cannot stress that enough. I apologize for any typos.

Potential Break Up Song
Chapter 1
Hey Angie! It's Ren. Sorry for the short notice, but I'm due in town with nowhere to stay. Alaster gave me your address, I'll be there tomorrow afternoon! Can't want to see my little Angie, it's been too long!
BEEP!
Angelic stared at her answering machine in horror.
What just happened?
Of all the things to happen, now of all times. The studious college student was right in the middle of studying for her end of the semester midterms, she didn't have time to babysit her childhood friend. And if he was anything like he was when they were kids, time was something she just couldn't spare. She glanced around her small apartment, which in terms was just a fancy large box. There wasn't enough room, amongst her books and dance club materials (and containers from store bought sushi), for two people.
There was barely any room for her.
Angelic sighed.
There were so many things she needed to do before he came. She had to clean, organize, find a space for him to sleep, buy food he'd actually want to eat because god… the boy was picky. There wasn't something he didn't complain about, just to complain, not because it actually bothered him.
It was just to piss her off.
Ren was just like that. As caring as he came off to be, the boy had an unhealthy liking for pissing her off.
It just wasn't natural.
This was all her brother's fault…
Knock! Knock! Knock!
Angelic's head shot in the direction of her door. She opened it cautiously, and found to her horror Ren, beaming brightly, on the other side.
"Angie!" The boy smiled. It was just as dazzling and breath taking as she remembered.
On instinct Angelic slammed the door shut.
She blinked.
"Angie?"
"I'm sorry!" She opened the door again, this time staring awkwardly up at the orange haired boy.
Ren opened his arms for a hug, which Angelic gave him…
Awkwardly.
Ren was much taller than she remembered him being, his smell more enticing, his face more handsome.
Where had all the time gone?
While he was out getting famous and breaking hearts, she'd stayed home. Took on the normal life style, worked a few jobs, and went to the town's college. There was nothing she really knew outside of hitting the books.
"Um… come inside." The girl said as she pried herself away from him, signaling for him to follow. "Sorry… if I had gotten your message earlier, I would've had things prepared."
"I called two days ago," Said Ren.
He was a bit bothered by her living conditions, and found himself questioning other aspects of the girl's life. Though he didn't say anything on the matter.
"Well I know that now, I just got home this morning. Been at the library." Explained Angelic. Her clothes were disheveled, her hair was a mess, she looked like she hadn't sleep decently in lord knows how long.
Angelic hadn't changed much since they were kids, Ren noted. He had to look after her a lot when they were growing up, she was always getting things she shouldn't be, and now it seemed like he had to now all over again as well. Ren was all but certain that Angelic could die due to her lack of proper nutrition, and no one would be able to find her under the academic mess that was her little hovel.
It was going to be a long summer.

It took some major getting used to having another human being residing in the same confined living space as she occupied, but Angelic was someone who didn't give up so easily and she was determined to make things work.
Or so she was until that night.
As the girl brushed out the haystack that was her hair, staring angrily at her reflection, she recalled the events from the previous day.
The afternoon had gone by surprisingly smooth after Ren had arrived and unpacked what little he could without adding to the clutter. She studied, her occupied himself with whatever it was he was into those days, both of them falling into an apparent flow that Angelic didn't mind all that much.
Time was something she didn't have a lot of those days and Ren respected that.
And then night fell.
Angelic showered and had planned to retire to bed early for her classes the next day…
Alone.
Alone…
A memo Ren had apparently missed because sometime during the night, Angelic had awoken to find the boy sleeping soundly beside her. She'd screamed before she had any time to think of… well anything else to do.
Ren, on account of the sudden desperate cry, had rolled onto his side, eyes opening to look at her.
"Something wrong?" He murmured groggily.
"Yes!" Angelic said. "Something is very wrong!"
Ren yawned before sitting up, bringing Angelic to the shocking revelation that he slept in hardly anything.
He was more naked than clothed!
Her eyes avoided the vague details of his outline that she could make out in the poor room lighting, a blush in her cheeks.
"What's wrong?" Ren asked. "We used to sleep together all the time when we were kids."
"Yeah, back when you were…!" Angelic stopped before she said something she'd regret.
"Before I was… what?" Questioned Ren, mildly interested.
It wasn't like his friend to get so easily flustered. Especially over something as trivial as the two of them sharing abed.
"Nothing… just… go back to sleep will you?" She grumbled, throwing back the sheets.
Angelic didn't have to tell Ren twice. He was more more exhausted than he had appeared to be. Needless to say she had relocated to the sad excuse for a couch for the remainder of the night.
It was official, Ren had to go.
