Akira, a simple 21 year old girl was hooked on one specific videogame. It wasn't healthly. She'd come home from work and immediatly run into the game room each day. She blasted on some music, logging on to XBOX 360 LIVE and started playing Call of Duty Two: Modern Warfare. She hooked up her headset to the controller and it was game time.
She dashed around, hiding from enemies and helping her teamates in need. She mumbled something each time she died or starting getting excited when she killed someone right before she died. The only thing is, she didn't realize her microphone was on. She apologized to the other gamers across the world and tried to keep her tension low.
A new round was on and she kept bumping into some user named DS_Otaku and to tell you the truth, he was quite an impressive rival.
"AAHH. He got me again!" She yelled, grinning to herself and respawned, hoping to get revenge. DS_Otaku on the other hand took a chance to plug in his headset and smirked to himself. DS_Otaku, who was actually this guy named Ninomiya, was hiding behind a wall waiting for another prey to attack. Just when he found someone, he was attacked from behind and saw it was who he killed earlier, Akira_Desu
"Oi, Akira. Your pretty good....for a girl." He said with a slight accent in his english; smirking to himself and began looking for his opponent, hoping for revenge.
"...How did you know?!" She found him again and knifed him from behind.
"KUSO." He jumped from his seat yelling and grinned trying to get a come back. Ninomiya was too concentrated on the game to even hear the response Akira made. After a while, he heard a faint music through his headphone. A Japanese song was playing?
The game ended, Akira's team winning and her teammates congratulating each other while waiting for a new turn. Ninomiya continued to hear the faint Japanese music and looked at the screen. The only blinking icon to reveal who was taking was Akira_desu.
"Akira-Kun...You...Japanese?" Ninomiya said into the headset.
"Ah, no...I can speak, read and understand it though~" Akira switched into Japanese, hearing the man's accent.
"Seriously?! That's awesome! I was wondering since I heard Japanese music in the background." Ninomiya smiled and felt comfortable speaking in his native language.
Another round was about to start and the two gamers were quite satisfied finding themselves on the same team. Akira then learned DS_Otaku's name was Kazunari (Nino didn't want other fans going crazy and stalking him if they found his username) and gained a new friend. The videogame lovers added each other to their friend lists and chatted more and more. As days-months passed since their meeting Ninomiya finally realized Akira was a girl.
"EH? You're a girl?! I didn't even know!" He was shocked and impressed by this simple woman having such a hobby the same as him. He hadn't met any real girl gamer till now. She giggled and told him she was. They started talking more and more and even traded cell phone numbers to get to know each other more.
Nino came into Arashi's greenroom, grinning while recieving a text from his friend across the world. The other members noticed this, scooting in closer to the smaller man and teased him. He said there was nothing and just surprised how much a girl knew about gaming. Their relationship did seem to increase each passing day, even if Nino was busy with filming, interviews or photoshoots; he had time to talk to his gaming buddy.
"Oh! Kazu-Kun! I'm going to be moving to Japan soon. Do you think you can help me out?" Akira was walking around her apartment floor in the US, flipping through books about Tokyo. She landed a new promotion and was given the opportunityc to live in the place she'd always wanted to visit all her life. Ninomiya felt his stomach flip over with the excitement he was getting.
"I'll definatly be glad to help!" It wasn't till after the discussion the two had when Nino realized that he had a ton of work to do. Recordings, photoshoots and more. He sighed to himself and was determine to make it through the whole day in hope of finally meeting his over-seas friend.
The day came and Nino dressed casually, simple t-shirt and jeans should do the trick. He waited around a small cafe he told Akira about and was rocking back and forth in place. Suddenly a girl came up to him.
"...Kazunari?" He turned around, shocked to find a dirty looking girl, hair tangled in knots and wearing clothes that were too small and tight for her.
Crap, he thought. Was this really the girl he thought he had feelings for? He gave the girl a nodd, eyes still widen from her appearance.
"AH! IT'S NINOMIYA KAZUNARI!" Before the girl could even jump him, Nino dashed like his life depended on it. He didn't mind meeting fans, it's just when they all chase him and surrounded him. Another was the fact that they draw more peoples' attention around then needed, and even attempt to rip his clothes sometimes. Nino thought, some fans were just scarier than others.
Nino took a sharp turn into an alley and hid as as small groups of rabid girls continued to run and look for the idol. He was tired, frustrated and hurt. He couldn't believe what Akira did to him. He took a peak out of the alley, making sure the coast was clear and began walking towards the nearest station to get home. He heard a little ringtone and looked at his phone's screen.
"Kazu-Chan! Where are you? I'm here already! >w<"
Akira
The idol gulped, he didn't want to see her dreaded face. Who did she think she was after making him run for his life? He simply replied with "Got Busy." and ignored any other forms of communication she attempted to have with him.
A couple days passed and Ninomiya kind of missed the conversations he had with his fellow gamer. He walked into a convini store and was greeted with a "Welcome!" and continued looking for some bentos and onigiri.
"...-chan! Have you played that new army game!?" He over heard an employee say.
"No! I really want to though! I was hoping to go over one of my friends house; he told me he already got it before it came out. But I haven't talked to him for a while."
Nino sighed not satisfied with the fact that the store didn't have his favorite bento available and walked toward the cashier.
"Oi! Akira! Help the customer! I need to get the new shipments!" Akira's manager yelled as he ran to the back of the store to recieve the new shipments
"Haiii~! Oh! Nobu-Kun my gamer tag is Akira_desu I haven't gotten internet yet so I'll accept it once I get connection again." Akira smiled at her friend and walked toward the cashier. She saw a slightly pale, young man, looking around his early 20s and was wearing a face mask.
She told the man how much was owed and looked at him. Nino was dumbstruck, hearing that username. A young woman, average built with nicely layered hair was standing behind the counter. He looked at her hands and saw how they were too his liking.
"S-sir? Is everything okay?" Akira felt a bit uncomfortable with the idol staring at her and started fiddling with her hands.
"A-akira-Chan?"
"H-Hai?" Chan? She thought, did this man know her?
"...EH!? IT'S REALLY YOU?!" Akira gave the man a confused look and it all processed in her head.
"AH! KAZU-CHAN!" She grinned and walked in front of the counter, bowing and smiled at her friend.
"Ah! So this is Kazunari!"
Nino nodded and asked how things were going and why she was working at a convini when she got that promotion. She explained that the company had to go to school first, which the company was paying for, before she got the job. So to earn some extra money, she started working in the convini.
Nino paid for his items and waited five minutes till Akira was done with her shift. Akira said her goodbyes to her friend and manager and caught up with the young man who seemed to just finish eating his bento and an onigiri.
Her friend handed her the last onigiri.
"Here you can take it~. I got full." She smiled and thanked him, walking around the streets and ate her dinner.
"Oh Kazu-Chan...What happen to you that other day?" She asked with a bit of concern on her face.
"...Sorry Akira-Chan. I got caught into some stuff." He felt horrible, ignoring her even though he wasn't the girl he thought she was.
"Ah! No problem~ I'm sorry if I got you in trouble!" She smiled slightly and looked at the lights. "Did you hear?! Ninomiya Kazunari from Arashi was there! I'm so jealous! I wanted to meet him." She grinned to herself thinking what would happen if she met one of her favorite idols. Nino realized that he was still wearing his face mask and couldn't help but smirk to himself with the praising he was recieving. He asked her questions about how much she liked Arashi and walked her to the station and promise to hang out next time for sure before departing. Akira gave him a quick hug and rushed to catch her train on time.
A couple weeks passed and Nino finally came to Akira's apartment, and visited the convini often in between, to help with her still packed belongings. He still hasn't revealed his true face to his friend. He re-connected Akira's internet to her 360 and computer. Akira was finally done with moving furniture with Nino and all the other belongings she had. They both fell onto the couch and stretched, feeling accomplished.
Nino looked at Akira and smirked behind his mask.
"Shall we battle?" Akira laughed and promised she wouldn't go easy on him. They played for hours, and Akira finally called it quits. The gamers were tied and it was late. She thanked Nino for all she did and looked at him.
Nino was looking around the medium sized apartment till he found Akira leaning close to him. Akira was about to pull his mask down till he grabbed her wrist and asked her to stop. After a slight pause, Akira smiled a little and layed her hand on his cheek, giving him a kiss through the material covering half his face.
"Gomen Kazu-Chan~ I couldn't help it...You might already know by now, but...I...l-like you." She looked up at, still smiling with a faint red coming across her face.
"So....if... uhm...I'll still be your friend even if you aren't happy with your appearance or if your hiding something." She sat up, still smiling and walked him to the door. The pair stared at each other before Nino left.
"....T-tomorrow?" Nino was the first to break the silence. She nodded and smiled, giving him a quick hug and waved good bye to the young man.
Nino got home and fell onto his bed. He took off the face mask and brought his hands to his lips. Tomorrow, he thought. He'll let her see his face. He closed his eyes and slept.
The next day, Nino decided to take Akira out to a shopping center. It was true that Nino was a cheap bastard, but he's willing to be a little bit flexible with his soon to be girlfriend. That is, if she'll accept him for his status.
Akira was sneaky to pay for some of the stuff she wanted, which Nino was a bit frustrated by how sneaky that girl was. He couldn't help but laugh though. They were walking around and Nino's eyes glanced down at Akira's hand. He grabbed it, lacing his fingers with hers. Akira was surprised at the getsure and looked up to see Nino's eyes. However, she found the man looking at the opposite direction, smiling to himself. She smiled, tightening her grip a little and leaned on his arm. Nino was satisfied with the process being made.
It was getting dark and the couple was in an empy park, looking up at the stars.
"Uwah~ Thanks for the amazing day Kazu-Chan!" Akira smiled stretching her arms over her head. She looked at Nino's face, seeing he was worried about something. Before she could even ask, Nino ripped his face mask off and kissed her with great speed; Akira didn't even see what he looked like. She got distracted by the pair of warm lips against hers and closed her eyes, slowly back. A short moment passed and Nino broke the kiss, pressing his forehead against hers. They both kept their eyes closed, moving closer to each other for warmth and smiled at the moment they were sharing.
Nino slowly moved away from Akira, revealing his face. She blinked a little and stared at his full face, thinking.
"Haha, Hey Kazu. You look like...HOLY- YOU ARE..." She was shocked, her eyes widen and looked away and back at Ninomiya. She couldn't believe she just kissed one of the members of Arashi.
Nino couldn't help but laugh and held her a little closer.
"That's why I didn't wanna show my face! You'd be like this!" He grinned, tightening his hold on her. "Akira-Chan. You're so slow." He smiled and looked at the girl's face. A slight pause happened.
"....Kazu-Chan! I KNEW you looked familiar!" She giggled and leaned against the idol.
"I can't believe I met the Ninomiya Kazunari....AND BEAT HIM IN GAMES!" She felt proud of herself and her skills.
"Okay, woah. Going a bit over board! I LET you win for your information." The couple got up and began walking back to Akira's place, hand in hand. They argued playfully about who was the best at gaming and started talking about Nino's occupation and how Akira was progressing in school. Both of them listened to each other's stories.
They reached Akira's place and thanked him again for everything. Nino leaned in, wrapping his arms around her waist kissing her softly. Akira smiled against his lips and kissed him back.
"...This means...we're officially a couple right?" She looked up grinning like an idiot.
"Yes Akira-baka. We're a couple." He kissed her again.
"...I think you and Aiba are gonna be great friends. Your stupidity is as great as his."
"HEY. BRAT. SHUT UP!" She laughed, and kissed her boyfriend on the cheek, pushing him away playfully and waved good bye to him.
Months passed-the paparazzi still hasn't found out about their relationship, and the couple was proud of their sneaky ways-and Akira finally met the good friends of Ninomiya. The other Arashi memebers. Nino invited them all at his place to have a little party, just for fun.
Aiba and Akira were playing Street Fighter; getting a tad into it.
"YES. YES. YES. I BEAT YOU!!" Aiba jumped for joy laughing. Akira fell to the floor and couldn't believe how a simple hit caused her to die. With all the excitement, Aiba ended up spilling water on the rug. The pair jumped up yelling for paper towels. panicing and started cleaning up.
"I told you Akira. You two act the same!" Nino and the others laughed and joined the two bakas. She complained how Aiba cheated and Nino took a seat next to her. They looked at each other and smirked.
"Let's play Call of Duty Modern Warfare. We'll show you how it's done." Everyone, but Aiba who was still hungry, started playing. Sho was making the most dorkiest facial expressions, Matsujun was serious about catching up, yelling if he died and even their quiet leader Ohno's eyes were stuck on the screen. They all laughed, played and eat till it was time for everyone to go home. Akira waited for the others to leave till she got ready to leave. Nino took her hand and pulled her back to him.
"Where are you going?" He said holding her.
"Home, to my warm, comfy, bed~" She smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck. They shared a kiss again.
"Let's finish that new game I got!"
"...Nino...I have school tomorroow I wanna sleeeppp. You addict!" She laughed and layed her head on his chest. Nino smiled and took her to his room. They snuggled up next to each other and shared a kiss before sleeping.
Nino was happy for his addiction. It caused him to find a wonderful girl who shared the same feelings as him.
