Today is your birthday

As you woke up from your comfy bed, you procrastinated a little as you craned your neck toward your alarm clock beside you

Just then, Akito sat down on your bed and patted your head, stroking your head, and said " Time to wake up ~ Today I will bring you to somewhere nice... dress up and lets goooo"

You looked up at him, giving him a huge smile, then hugged him as he gave out a small chuckle

After you prepared yourself, Akito happily grabbed your hand and pulled you out of your house. Although you were curious how he managed to enter your house, you kept your question to yourself

"Lets follow my plan!" He smiled brightly as he pushed you into an arcade. Loud music, screams of joy, and coins dropping filled the atmosphere as you both stepped in

"Toya reccommended this place to me... and he said its very cool so hope you enjoy! I also bought the card for the arcade so have fun!" You gave Akito a smile, and shouted "AKITO YOU ARE THE BEST!"

You both had fun at the arcade, playing MaiMai, basketball, and even the dancing pad, where Akito failed so miserably you wondered how he mamaged to get 100 misses on easy mode

After playing for an entire morning, Akito brought you to a cafe for lunch. As you reached out for the menue, Akito grabbed your hand, saying "Dont worry, I already ordered for you." He then snapped his fingers as the waiters began to serve a huge piece of your favourite food - Pepper Chicken cutlet with cheese

When you saw your favourite food on the table, you jumped out of your seat and hugged Akito. Due to your sudden hug, Akito got caught off guard and he whispered "Hey... that was unexpected"

After filling your tummy with your favourite food, you walked happily on the streets, exploring several places. As time flew by, it was dinner time. You guys had dinner at another cafe, where Akito bought your favourite cake - chocolate cake for you

At home, he prepared the cake for you, and you sat down, looking at the cake in awe

" 1, 2, 3..." he began counting

You both sang the birthday song happily, and afterwards, Akito shoved the cake into your mouth as you munched it and then threw a piece at him. You both had fun

"Ahh, its getting late..." Akito said as he looked at the clock, half past 11am. "Your birthday is ending soon... and its getting late, go sleep... you have school to attend tomorrow "

You shook your head , and looked at him, saying "I want you to stay with me... dont go..." He let out a small chuckle, and pat your head

- if he likes you too he would go "oh. Yeah me too." (I think)

- he would blush so hard u see a side u have never been, not even Jun, Nagisa or Hiyori

- if he doesnt like you he will go "nice" (JOKE IDK WHAT HE WOULD TBH BASED ON HIS HIS CHARACTER )

[Wataru Hibiki]

- he would go AMAZINGKUUU if he hears your confession (real)

- if he likes you I feel he gon be like "yea same me too" and stop saying amazingkuu because things got serious for once (he will take u seriously)

- if he doesnt like u he would probably crack jokes to avoid the topic idk.

[ Hiyori Tomoe ]

- if he likes you he will go "Awww same" blushing a little but smiling

- bro is the type to hide after that (i think)

- if he doesnt he will probably cheer u up and say there are better people than him

As your teacher blew her whistle, Akito and you ran to assemble together with the rest of the class in front of the teacher.

"All right class, today we are going to do sit ups as your yearly physical assessment is next month. Please choose a partner. "

Akito and you looked at each other, as he smiled and gestured for you to come closer to him. You blushed a little as you went closer to him.

Soon, the teacher assigned you a place to do your sit ups. Oddly, Akito and you were far in a corner where very few people go to as your class has occupied most of the exercising corner.

" So...shall we start...?" you asked Akito awkwardly. What a place to do sit ups huh... why are you and him so far away from the rest...?

He held you leg as you attempted to do a sit up, but you failed miserably. You are not very athletic, and can not even do a sit up unless you push very hard. As he looked at you in pity, his eyes then curved upwards and a mischievous smile was spread across his face while you were struggling.

"O...one.." you struggled to count as you shakily did a sit up. When you were about to go down, Akito pulled you close swiftly and kissed you on your lips. His sudden movement startled you so much you let out a small sound, and when he kissed you your heart was beating so fast as your head spun, trying to process what happened

"Hey...dont...dont do that. We are in school." You said, embarrassed .

He then said mischievously, " Serves you right. Do more sit ups and train harder or else, I might do even more ~☆ " he said with a mischievous and singing tone.

You gulped as your heart was beating so fast you were about to get a heart attack

"Hey y/n!" your classmate called to you

He then stood very close to you teasingly, making you annoyed

As you tried getting away from him, he came close to you as he was touching your hand as you pulled your hand away in annoyance

"Senpai... stop it. " you said as he laughed

However, you did not know... Akito was observing you the whole time for afar.

As he waited for you at the gate, he seemed down...weirdly

"Hey Akito!" you exclaimed as you exited the school gate and saw him

"Ah...hi..." he reluctantly said as he looked at you

There was something wrong with him.

As he handed you the ice cream he bought for you from a nearby convenient store, he kept looking at you and looking away, reluctant to say something

"What is it. Say it now..." you finally gave in and asked him as he looked away

"Who is that senpai that keeps touching you... that guy annoys me...!" he angrily exclaimed

"Ho... are you...jealous?" You asked with a smrik

"O...of...course...not..."

"Then why are you acting like this...?"

"Its..just..."

He then proceed to stand extremely close to yiu and his hands touched your face and pulled you close to him

As his gazed turned cold and serious he coldly whispered to your ears "I dont like him. You should stay away from him. You are mine"

It was an early Sunday

As you tied your hair up into a ponytail, you looked at yourself in the mirror

Today is the day where you go on a date with Akito... and you were feeling extremely nervous

As you shakily stepped out of your house, you kept worrying that Akito would not like your new bag you bought- an itabag with many cute decorations.

Suddenly, while you were lost in your thoughts, someone shouted "Y/N!!!"

As you turned behind, you saw Akito running towards you

"Hey honey, where do you wanna go?" He asked as he winked and hugged you

Your face turned red as you stammered "A...anything..."

He then put his hand over your shoulder and said "Close your eyes... let me bring you to somewhere you will like!"

You hesitated but you closed your eyes, and around 10 minutes later, you opened your eyes as Akito tickled your sides and you pouted at him

However, your eyes instantly brightened up as you saw the decorations of the room

Full of pastel colours, balloons, confetti, and your favourite chocolate moose cake from a fancy bakery

He then asked you to sit down on the nearby sofa he prepared for you

"Is this... your house?" You asked curiously

As you tiredly pressed the repeat button on your mobile phone with your sweaty fingers, you heard the door opening

Hokuto walked into the room, then asked "Hey, you ok? You look tired, maybe you should take a break before practicing again."

You were preparing for a competition in Yumenosaki Academy and this performance will determine how good or how bad your skills are based on the votes

You want to be the first place as usual, as you are known as the ace in Yumenosaki Academy even though your group is relatively new, but became well known because of your perfect dance moves, good songs and powerful image that got you a 1st place from the previous event

However, you are having trouble with a dance movement that requires you to practice a lot due to the intensity and fast movements, but until now you have yet to dance the part correctly yet.

As you saw Hokuto, you immediately ran up to him and hugged him, saying "I feel so frustrated, I cant even get this dance move right. None of my team members can get it too, I tried changing it but it wont fit..."

He then said "Its fine if you cant get it, maybe you just need more practice?"

He then offered to help

You then explained to him the original movements and he tried his best to help

[day of the performance]

At the preparation room, you continued practicing the dance move that Hokuto helped you.

"Now may we have the next group, our ace! Will they get the 1st place tonight again?"

"Crap. Its our turn"

You turned to my teammates as you guys did a silent cheer before going onto stage

When the music started you did the dance moves with ease, and even you were surprised you managed to do the hardest part of the choreography Hokuto helped you with

After your performance, several groups also went up too, but somehow you felt confident of winning

[After the performances]

"May we announce the winner for tonight...will it be the ace group again...? That's right, its our ace group again!" the emcee announced with excitement

You happily walked onto the stage as your other teammates smiled and cried in happiness. your 2nd achievement. As you held the trophy, you saw Hokutos gaze from afar as he made eye contact with you and clapped for you with a smile

It was a Sunday.

You took out your Nintendo switch as you were about to play Fall Guys as you were really bored and did not know what to do to spend the afternoon

Suddenly, your phone rang

It was Hokuto, calling you. You then picked up his call

"Hello y/n. I...I was wondering what are you doing now...?"

You replied," I am going to play some games, why?"

He then said, " I was going to meet Subaru this afternoon at a cafe near your place, but he had other plans, and im free now. Do you mind me going over to your house?"

"Sure, why not?" you said

[ A few minutes later]

As you invited Hokuto into your room, he gasped in awe of the amount of Hatsune Miku, games and anime merchandise pasted all over your room

He then sat down on the fluffy blue sofa you owned and then sat there akwardly

You then suggested playing some games with him, and surprisingly, he agreed to it

The afternoon went by as you played Fall guys together

Hokuto had quite some trouble controlling the console, and you had to teach him

"Hey y/n, how do you press exit?" he turned and asked you

"Just press x"

"Where is it...?"

You then pointed to him the button.

However, Hokuto then took this opportunity and pulled you near him

"Of course I know where the x button is" He said with a smirk and you blushed very hard

[Hokuto Hidaka]

would blush and turn his head

will play hard to get if he likes you or say softly " I like you too " then run away

if he doesnt like you he will look away and try to not make you feel hurt

he will be shocked if he doesnt expect your confession

[Ritsu Sakuma]

would have a shocked face (clueless)

if he likes you he will directly say "Yeah me too" in a chill tone

if he doesnt his face will become more serious and try to reject you in a nice way

[Mika Kagehira]

will make an "oh" face

if he likes you he would scratch his head and said "Mmm, you too" and blush very intensely

if he doesnt, he will try to make friends with you because he is too kind and dont want to reject you cold heartedly

[Keito Hasumi]

makes a shocked face

if he likes you he will push his glasses up, turn to a side and say "Me...me too"

if he doesnt, he would straight away said "Sorry, but I dont have these feelings for you"

[Makoto Yuukii]

would panic (real)

if he likes you he will nervously say "I...I... also have these feelings for you!" and then run away within 1 second

if he doesnt he would say "so...sorry..." and run away full of guilt

"Ding dong" The school bell ended

Just as you were about to walk out of the school gate, you heard someone call you

"Y/N !"

As you turned your head, you saw Hokuto and rest of Trickstar running towards you

"You did not forget about todays plans right? Well, then see you later!" he said in a cheerful tone, winking at you

As your heart skipped a beat from his wink, you were thinking very hardly about what to play at the arcade later. You are going to an arcade with everyone to play some games

[at the arcade]

As you entered the arcade, loud music and ticket withdrawing out of machines filled your ears. You then turned your head and looked at Makoto, who also looked at you and both of you smirked at each other, then immediately ran to a maimai machine and tapped your arcade cards there. (note: MaiMai is a japanese arcade rhythm game found in most arcades)

A rough battle between you and Makoto was ongoing, with your hands quickly pressing the buttons at the side of the machine, tapping on the circular screen while Isara, Subaru and Hokuto stood at the side admiring the intense speed of how Makoto and your hands move

After a long battle, you then played some claw machines with Hokuto while Subaru, Isara and Makoto played a racing car game

"Hokuto kun , I want that blue bear!" you said

He then tried catching it for you, but he became so obsessed with claw machines as this is his first time playing it that he caught many other soft toys.

As Isara, Subaru and Makoto approached you, Hokuto passed the toys he caught to them and they started teasing and laughing at Hokuto of his little obsession with claw machines , and you joined too, while Hokuto blushed in embarrassment

As the day ended, you went home with 3 soft toys, walking with Hokuto on your way back home

In 5 hours, a new year is going to begin

Year 2023

You wanted to celebrate it personally with Hokuto , but he will be performing in the ES special live to countdown for 2023. As you grabbed your ticket, you headed out to the venue where he was going to perform, together with some sushi that he likes to eat

You plan to visit him at his resting venue together with the rest of trickstar to cheer them on for their upcoming performance, and give them some snacks

As you entered the room, you saw Anzu talking to Trickstar members. You came in and said hello, and Hokuto was surprised that you came

You spent time with them, chitchated, but soon it was time for the performance. You sat in the audience

"3,2,1, happy new year!" It was 2023.

" It was supposed to be happy. But why... why do I feel down ?"

As the start of 2023 begun, you walked out of the audience zone, feeling down but dont know why

Suddenly, you heard a familiar voice

" y\n !"

As you turned behind, Hokuto embraced you into a tight hug in his sweaty arms

It is a special day today. It was the day Hokuto promised to put aside his work and bring you out for a date.

You go to various clothing shops a day before, however could not find a dress that you can afford. You disappointedly walked home, and opened your closet, only to find T shirts and pants, and no dresses. The only dress you had for you is a maid outfit you spent 100 bucks on for a cosplay event you recently attended

You picked that and said "I hope this isn't weird, its the only dress I have"

[ The next day ]

You meet Hokuto at the agreed place. He looks at you and blushes, turned his head away in embarrassment as you giggled at him

He brings you to nice places, arcades, won soft toys and even bought you a necklace

At the end of the day you are so tired you fell asleep on Hokutos lap on a bench in the night park for 30 minutes, and when you woke up, you saw Hokuto looking down on you and smiled gently as he pat your head. You jumped and started apologizing about your costume as you said you did have the money for another dress

Hokuto then said " Silly, you don't have to doll yourself up for me. You being yourself is good enough for me"
