Narrator's POV
"Haruka, let's go on a date!"
Haruka's eyes widened at the sudden greeting from Cecil.
"P-Pardon?"
She rubbed her eyes, making sure she was seeing things right. In front of her is Cecil, which was strange since she does not live in the dorms anymore. The only company she has in the house is her manager Ayumi.
"I said, let's go on a date!" he repeated with the same enthusiasm.
She glanced at the clock in her room, and her eyes bulged when she saw that it was only 6:00 A.M. She still felt sleepy, after all it was her comeback concert last night and she was still tired. The only reason she woke up is because of the constant loud knocks on her door. She wouldn't even fathom to know how she looked like right now.
"Aijima-san you do know that-"
"Cecil."
"H-Huh?"
"Call me Cecil." He grinned.
"C-Cecil-san, you do know that it is 6 in the morning, no?" Haruka told him. A spark went through Cecil's eyes as he heard her call him the way he used to call him. Cecil-san.
"Yup, I know. All the more reason to go on a date right now!"
"Cecil-san…is there any reason that you would want us to go on a d-date?" Haruka shyly asked.
"I'm jealous."
"A-About?"
"You remember almost everybody except me! It's not fair. After all, I've confessed to you a lot of times before and they haven't. I should be the one you'll remember first!" Cecil whined, eyebrows knotted in frustration.
"C-Confessed?" Haruka is confused, does he mean that he…?
"You don't remember that either do you?" Cecil pouted. "I'll just have to make you remember then!"
"E-Eh?" She was surprised as to how much straightforward he's being.
"Since you just woke up… How about let's just go on a date this afternoon? Around 1:00 PM sounds good." He nods to himself, agreeing with his idea.
"I-I don't think that I-"
"Please? I just want you to remember me, Haruka. If by the end of the day you won't remember me…It's fine. I won't force you." He smiled at me and she suddenly felt guilty. 'If what Syo-kun told me before was true…That I'm an important person to their whole group then…How about the others that I don't remember yet?' Haruka thought sadly to herself.
"A-Alright, I a-accept."Haruka smiled at him and he grinned.
"Yes! So 1:00 PM okay?" Haruka nodded at him and he beamed. "The muses would be overjoyed at this! I'll see you later!"
With that, he ran away. With a big smile placed on his face. Then a sudden thought made Haruka blush.
After all, that was the first time she's been asked to go on a date.
Haruka/Miyuki's POV
"Tori-chan! I don't know what to wear!" I exclaimed, with clothes all over the floor. I called her and told her all about this morning and she insisted that she 'll help me preparing. So here she is.
"It's still surprising though. That he'd go all the way to your house at 6:00 AM in the morning just to ask you out on a date. Are you sure it really happened? You were not dreaming at all?" Tori-chan asked.
"I'm sure! This is my first date and I'm-"
"Wait, what? This is your first date!?" She asked me, eyes wide.
"Yes! Which is why I really don't know how I should look like or act like on a date!" I told her.
"So you're telling me, that you've got more than 10 guys drooling over you and none of them has asked you out yet?"
"Huh?" I wondered, not knowing what she meant.
"You're just too dense for your own good, Miyu-chan." She shook her head and sighed. "What if you already went on a date and you just have no memories about it?"
"I'm pretty sure that I haven't been asked out yet."
"Then they'll expect her to fall for them when they haven't even made a move or even told her the way they feel! Ugh, they're hopeless!" Tori-chan murmured to herself. I have no idea what she's talking about.
"Um…Tori-chan?"
"Oh right! Let's get you prepared then! Since this is your first date…Let's make you looks really nice." She grinned at me. "Even if that Aijima is a weird guy, he has my respect for having the courage to ask Miyu-chan out." She murmured to herself once again.
Then, the make-over started.
"Damn. I think I should be your make-up artist from now on." Tori-chan stated as she smiled at me.
"Thank you, Tori-chan." I told her with a smile.
"No problem. He better make your date worth it!" She exclaimed.
As I look at myself in the mirror, I can't help but agree with her being my make-up artist. Truly, she has skills.
"Miyu-chan if anything goes wrong, just call me. Okay?" She told me with a worried look and I smiled.
"Okay."
"Say, you're already regaining your memories…right?"
"Y-Yeah." It was still a slightly sensitive topic for me and I felt slightly conscious. I don't her that I already regained my memories of Hijirikawa-san while I was sleeping. That I woke up in the middle of the night, because of too much pain.
I don't tell her that I know what the pills are for even if Kaoru explained to me that they are pills that just relieve pain and headaches.
I'm not an idiot, I know that something bad will happen to me once I regain all my memories and I know everyone knows that. Kaoru-kun, Quartet Night, Tori-chan, Ayumi-san, Oba-chan, and even STARISH.
I just don't know why they are hiding it from me.
But I don't want anyone to worry about me more because they already worry too much.
"Can you promise me that…We'll always be best friends?" She looked me in the eyes and I saw sadness and…Guilt.
Oh no. Did she think that I would leave her once I regain all my memories? No, I would never do that. So I did what she always loved. I hugged her.
She was surprised at first but she hugged me back.
"I promise. We'll always be best friends." I told her and she hugged me tighter.
And then the doorbell rang.
He's here.
Cecil's POV
I am so ecstatic! Finally, Haruka and I will be able to go on a date! Then the door opened, expecting it was Haruka, I hugged the female in front of me.
"Finally!" I exclaimed hugging her tighter.
"Get off me you dog."
Uh-oh.
I looked up and I cringed at what I saw. "S-Sorry, Victoria-sama." I stated as I let her go.
I may be the Prince of Agnapolis, but I learned the hard way to do as she wishes.
"Don't you touch me ever again."
"Y-Yes, Victoria-sama." I told her as I inched farther away from her.
"Tori-chan, what did I tell you about your attitude?" I heard Haruka's voice behind Victoria-sama. Hearing her voice makes everything better.
"Aw, but they're so fun to play with!" Victoria-sama whined. Wait, whined? I have never heard her whine before.
"And I've told you that they are not toys." As expected of Haruka! So caring.
"Ugh, doesn't matter. Aijima-" she called me "I better hear from Miyu-chan that she enjoyed your date or else I'll break your neck once I see your face." She threatened me and I nodded vigorously.
"Tori-chan." Haruka stated sternly and Victoria-sama stepped aside with a groan, giving me a view on how Haruka looks like.
She looks so charming and I stared at her intently, burning in my mind on how she looks like.
Her hair is in a high pony tail with small curls in the end. Some of her hair framed her face and she also has side bangs. Her lashes are highlighted with mascara and her lips looked so kissable and smooth with lipgloss.
Her top is a white shirt with ¾ slightly puffed sleeves with a teal ribbon in the middle and my eyes traveled lower. Her denim shorts exposed her pale, creamy, and smooth legs and she also wore brown boot that matched her whole attire.
I have never seen her wear shorts, and I have to sexy on her.
Yes, I'm still Cecil Aijima but sometimes being with Ren for over a year infects me. Really.
"This might be cliché but take a picture. It lasts longer." Victoria-sama scoffed which cut the train of my thoughts and in the corner of my eye I think I saw Haruka roll her eyes.
"Don't mind her. Shall we?" Haruka offered with a smile and I grinned at her. Victoria then handed her a hat and sunglasses for disguise and she gave her a smile as a way of saying thanks.
"Let's go!"
"Cecil-san, may I go to the restroom?" Haruka asked me and I pouted at her.
"Just come back soon!" I told her and she nodded with a smile.
As she walked away, I suddenly think about how much she's…changed. She still has the best qualities of the Haruka I know: Optimistic, caring, and whenever she smiles it still makes me feel warm. But now she's more straightforward and she makes more facial expressions.
A while ago while we were in the arcade and we were playing a game wherein we had to battle with each other, she smirked at me and told me that she was not going to lose. It was the first time I've ever seen her smirk.
Then we came across a photo booth earlier and she insisted that we take pictures. While in the booth, we took of our disguises and made some silly faces.
I took the picture out of my bag and stared at it, it was a collage of six shots and she made various facial expressions in them.
The first one she smiled.
Second: Grinned.
Third: Stuck her tongue out playfully.
Fourth: Made a peace sign.
Fifth: She placed a finger over her lips and winked.
Sixth: She pulled me closer, and kissed my cheek. As you can see in the picture, I was surprised and my eyes were wide.
Unlike the Haruka I know, she shines a lot brighter. Her eyes hold more passion and her smiles more frequent.
I'm not sure if I'm on a date with the woman that saved me, Nanami Haruka or the world famous idol, Hoshino Miyuki.
And so far, even if Miyuki is the verson of Haruka who just shines brighter, I still prefer Haruka. As Haruka.
"Haruka...I want you back." I absent-mindedly mumbled. Then I heard something fall and I lookd at it's source. It was...Haruka's bag. I looked up and I saw her knees trembling and she was...
Crying.
Haruka/Miyuki's POV
"Haruka, do you remember me yet?"
"You are so cute, Haruka!"
"I missed you so much Haruka."
Haruka this. Haruka that.
He's been calling me Haruka the whole day. I'm not mad at him. No. It's just that I feel like he wants 'Haruka' and not me. I am Haruka, but I'm also Miyuki too. I feel like e only want the Haruka he knows...Not some idol that looks like her.
I wonder, if Natsuki-san, Ittoki-kun, Syo-kun, and Hijirikawa-san approached me because I look like Haruka.
I wonder if they'll even be friends with me if I wasn't Haruka and I'm only Miyuki.
I shrugged my thoughts off. Now is not the time to drown in my thoughts. It is still our date after all.
It's been a wonderful date, truthfully. He's a good company and maybe a little weird, he's a fun person.
I then got out of the restroom and walked back to where Cecil-san is.
"Haruka...I want you back."
My bag fell from my hands as soon as I realized what he meant.
He wants only Haruka. Not me.
Because in his eyes, he thought that he asked Haruka, not Miyuki.
And now he's thinking that maybe it was not a good idea to ask me out.
"Haruka, let's go on a date!"
Oh right.
He told me from the beginning that he's asking Haruka.
Tears welled up in my eyes as I thought of what the others' opinions are.
Ittoki-kun, Natsuki-san, Syo-kun, and Hijirikawa-san.
They only approached me only because I'm Haruka who just lost her memories. That in their eyes, I'm still Haruka with no memories.
Why am I so stupid?
Why did I even believe that they actually liked me, for me!
My "date" with Cecil says it all. They want Haruka. Not me.
I really am an idiot. Why did I realize it just now?
Cecil's POV
Tears were running down her face and she mumbled "Why" repeatedly.
"Haruka?" I called, worried. She then faced me and her eyes showed pure sorrow.
"P-Please, don't call me Haruka. I-I'm Miyuki! N-Not Haruka." She cried as she stepped farther away from me.
"B-But Haruka is still-"
"Stop! Please. I-I'll tell Victoria that I enjoyed our date, don't worry. Just please leave me alone."
It scared me, how she looks so broken and distraught.
And there was a look in her eyes that showed pure betrayal.
I wrapped my arms around her and held her tight.
"Haruka I-"
"Let go of me! I'm not Haruka. I'm not the person you want to go on a date with." then a flash of ange appeared in her eyes. "Why can't you just all face the fact that Haruka is gone! She's gone and she's never coming back!" Her words drilled into me.
She started to walk away when she faced me, with a tearless face that held pure anger.
"Don't include me in your little fairy tale anymore."
Venom was clear in her words and it scared me.
Only then did I realize what mistake I made and my eyes widened.
Oh man. The others are going to kill me.
Haruka/Miyuki's POV
Beep!
I checked the message in my phone.
From: Natsuki-san
Subject: Cecil-kun! _
Hi Haru-chan!
I've heard from our composer that Cecil-kun is with you. She didn't tell me why though _ Please ask Cecil-kun to come back to the dorms immediately. We need him.
Thank you Haru-chan!
I threw my phone to the carpet.
Haru-chan.
Her nickname for Ms. Loveable Haruka. I scoff.
I'm turning into Sayuki again aren't I? Hahaha. Yes, I know that she existed. Past tense, as you can see. Ever since the Natsuki thing she just vanished. The negative effect is that I get angry now too. Like 'Sayuki' type of anger.
I can't blame Natsuki-san though. I did give him permission to call me Haruka. I gave permission to all the people I gained memories of and that does not include Cecil-san.
And yet he still calls me Haruka. Oh the irony.
And yet I can't bring myself to hate them. They have done…so much for me.
I chuckled to myself as I remembered what I have decided before.
I gave myself the name Hoshino Miyuki to relieve the burden of remembering.
I became an idol to connect with the people who knew me as Haruka, and yet I always drilled into my mind that I don't want to become Nanami Haruka.
I can't believe how foolish I am.
And I think, I can never face them with a smile ever again.
