Happy Birthday, Sakurai Sho-chan~!

Hm… This one, or this one…?

For Sakurai Sho, being at a CD shop was blissful torture. He loved to browse the titles, to check out what was popular, to get excited by a new sound or a new melody. And yet, he could never decide! He wanted to cut down, because he barely had any more space in his house to fit CDs, but there was just so much to choose. Shifting his weight to his left leg, he compared two CDs. After this, the brunette wanted to go out to eat with his friends. He hadn’t seen them in a while, but he was glad he could hang out today.

There was movement to his right, just out of sight. Ah! He hoped no one recognized him. After all, he was wearing a cap and sunglasses (he thought that was already obnoxious enough). He didn’t really stick out, since he had dressed casually, in jeans and a light grey and beige jacket with a white t-shirt. It wasn’t that Sho didn’t want to see his fans, but he was trying to enjoy his off day. Taking a quick peek to his right, he searched for possibly a squealing fangirl. Or fanboy.

Instead, Sho saw a girl with his back to him, tapping her foot to a beat he couldn’t hear. He knew she was a girl because for one, she was wearing one of those fashionable dresses that were cinched at the hem. For two, it came down to mid-thigh, showing off her long legs tucked into high-heeled black ankle boots. And for three, well, er… she had a wonderfully shaped bum.

And then, for some reason, Sho thought, She seems like Nino’s type.

… Wait, why am I thinking that? I’m the one staring at her like an idiot.

For a long moment, Sho sort of stood there and gaped. He actually pulled off his sunglasses and saw that her dress was actually a lighter purple and the boots were actually a dark violet. He also noticed that on her ankle boots, where there was a bow detail, there were tiny charms shaped like silver headphones, the large ones that DJs used. In her hair, silver music notes clustered around the hair tie piled into a messy ponytail.

The girl was standing nest to one of those music sample stations, listening to something on the headphones. Adjusting her posture, Sho watched her run a finger down the page, probably to select another music sample. He still couldn’t quite see her face, simply due to the fact that she had bangs curving lightly around her face.

He moved to put on his sunglasses again. And Sho was going to, seriously, just go back to what he was doing and not pay any more attention, until he thought, I wonder what she is listening to?

This is why he found himself, moments later, scooting around and craning his head like an idiot. He felt incredibly stupid, but at the same time, he couldn’t help himself. He wondered if it was good. Was it rock? Pop? Rap? Was it -

Aw, crap!

Sho practically shoved his face into the CDs in his hands as the girl took off her headphones and placed them back in their place. He heard the pump of hand sanitizer they the store kept next to the music sampler station. Seconds passed and then the distinct click-click of high heels signaled her passing.

Sho let out a soft sigh of relief. He almost got caught being a total creeper there. Gah. He blinked hard before he let himself look over to the music station, getting a clear view of what was last played on the tiny screen next to the headphones. ‘Smile,’ by Koike Teppei. Before he had time to ponder, he felt someone tap his shoulder.

“Uwa!” At this moment, Sho realized that the variety shows were really getting to him. His reactions were becoming crazier each day. Maybe it was just-

“Hi.”

Sho could feel his eyes widen. The adrenaline level in his blood just pumped up six more levels, making his heart throw itself against his ribs like a thrashing fish out of the water. Sho felt that he was sort of, kind of, maybe, in trouble.

“Uh.” He supposed this is how stalkers felt when they were caught.

The girl in purple smiled at him in a friendly manner. She had full cheeks that reminded him Ohno (Why was he thinking about his other members now?), with cute dimples, one on each cheek. He noticed that the top of the dress had a ruffled scoop neck, with an array of musical notes dangling on a chain tinkling against the neckline, but he was more drawn to her sparkling eyes than anything else (well, he didn’t want to look like more of a pervert than he already looked). Her smile did little to ease his heartbeat, which began to rattle every which way in an awkward, clumsy fashion. In the back of his mind, Sho realized that his mouth was slightly open, but made no attempt to close it.

“When you’re ready to talk to me,” she said, staring at him straight in the eyes, “Here’s my number.”

And then, without asking, she reached over with a thin black marker and began to write. The touch sent a shock though Sho’s unmoving body, making his muscles tense and the hair on the back of his neck tingle. And just like that, after writing a few numbers and smiling an enigmatic smile, she turned around and walked away, giving him a slight wave as she left.

Several moments passed. More moments. Sho couldn’t remember the last time that a girl made him speechless. He was usually… well, the one who talked. Asked. Whatever. Maybe his brain was melting. He could still smell the light refreshing scent of her perfume. It smelled crisp, like fresh cucumbers and honeydew. His cheeks flushed with both embarrassment and pleasure. Well, maybe she doesn’t even recognize you! Get a hold of yourself! Sho looked down at the back of his hand, looking at the numbers and wondering if he would ever call them.

And those numbers, she had written, You’re cute, Sakurai-san.

… Ah, she was not fooled for a minute.
