Disciple Bizarre!
Ch. 59 - Hoshi's girlfriend

(POV Tamaki Hoshi)

Early in the morning, I woke up, at six in the morning, on Sunday, a record Tamaki Hoshi had opened her eyes and did not laze around. How could I not be excited, Akemi will come to my house today! Not as a friend, but as a girlfriend!

Of course it's just a pretend girlfriend.

"Tumben is awake." Shina who was washing dishes greeted. "Why smile like that? Disgusting to know."

"Well eight."

I slipped the word 'someone pretending to be' in the pause of my words in a whisper, so my head did not shine.

"Pa-boyfriend?! You got a girlfriend, Onii-chan?"

I'm nodding.

"To-please make a rather large breakfast. He said he wanted to have breakfast."

Shina immediately ran to the living room, talking to my mother. From here, I could hear that my mother was shocked as well.

"Hoshi, is it true that your girlfriend will come here? Since when do you have a boyfriend?!"

"Here you go, make breakfast quick."

My mom still looks shocked. "Why not tell from yesterday! Shina, let's buy some expensive groceries! We had a great breakfast today! Hoshi, you continue to wash the dishes!"

"My hands are still sick."

"Ah, right too, yes already, just let it go, you groom it, don't be embarrassed!"

"L-yes...."

I didn't mean to lie, but to comfort myself this single, I did too.

Those who were too enthusiastic to realize that I was lying to them. No problem, I'm not harming anyone.

It's a shame to have to date Akemi in a bandaged hand, but if there are no bandaged hands, how could I possibly date Akemi.

Restlessly, I continued to sort through suitable clothes. My whole life has never dated. You can only see it in manga or anime. This time I will do it myself even if I pretend.

I can't waste today. I have to have fun!

At exactly eight, Akemi arrived. He sent me a message that he was standing in front of my house. I hurried out to open it.

"Good morning."

My mouth's open.

I've seen Akemi wearing free clothes like this, but still I feel amazed. How many times have I seen her, Akemi is really pretty. His appearance today was also so.

"Good morning, Akemi, come on in."

He also entered my house.

At home, the mother and Shina seemed enthusiastic about welcoming this fake boyfriend. I feel guilty, but at least for today alone, I want to believe that Akemi is my boyfriend.

"Mother, Shina, it's Akemi."

Akemi lowered her head.

"My name is Yoshino Akemi. Hello to you."

Mom looked happy, and so did Shina.

"Well, well, greetings, Akemi-chan. I'm Hoshi's mother. Just call me Okaa-san."

"Are you really Brother's girlfriend?" ask Shina.

Without hesitation, Akemi replied. "That's right."

Shina smiled broadly. "My name is Shina, greetings yes, Akemi-san!"

"Greetings, Shina-chan."

"Yes, let's sit here, Akemi. We're having breakfast together."

"Ah, yes, thank you for inviting me, Okaa-san."

Akemi who was cute in that class turned out to be suave. The acting was completely insane until I felt that this was all reality, not a setting.

We had breakfast together. Akemi was really treated special by my mother.

"Akemi-chan, why do you want to go with Hoshi? What is so special about her?"

"Hoshi funny. I like it."

"Ah, I see, yes, he is indeed a bit funny, anyway. Haha."

E-eh... am I funny? But Akemi's answer sounded natural. If he answers long and with logical reasons it looks like made up. He's really good at answering like that.

"Whose first shot?" ask Shina.

"Hoshi. He really likes me. Every day I watched quietly in class. He is also often attentive. Finally shot him. Isn't that right, Hoshi?"

I just answered, embarrassed.

"Shut up, Akemi."

His words are not wrong at all. In reality, I really like it. Often pay attention silently, and sometimes also attention. Is he aware of that?

"Why is Akemi-san willing to accept it?"

"Hmm... Why, huh? I have no reason to refuse. Hoshi is kind, considerate, and most importantly he likes me a lot. It is a pity to be rejected. He is also handsome."

"Hoshi handsome?!" Shina.

"Yes, he's handsome, right? Bald like this is already handsome, how about when his hair has grown."

I know Akemi's just kidding, but still it really makes me happy.

"Really! Hoshi is handsome! You won't regret choosing her, Akemi-chan!" Mom chiming.

Akemi just smiled.

The breakfast was over. Akemi helped my mother wash the dishes from the breakfast. He feels like my real boyfriend.

"Akemi-san is very good, yes," said Shina.

"Indeed."

After that, mom and Shina let me be alone with Akemi. I took Akemi into my room. Talking in the living room is uncomfortable.

Akemi complied, and came with me to the room.

"Well, this is Hoshi's room." Akemi looked stunned.

"Already, Akemi, don't have to act."

"No, Hoshi, I'm not acting, I'm fascinated by your room. There are so many posters of his music group. You're a fan of the Queen band, aren't you?"

"Y-yeah.. You know that band?"

"Yes, I know. Bohemian Rhapsody's most famous song, right?"

"really. Besides there's another song you know?"

"We Are The Champions, We Will Rock You, Don't Stop Me Now it seems like that's it."

I smile. "You know everything, Akemi."

"I don't know everything, I just happen to know."

"Akemi..it's Hanekawa's dialogue from the Bakemonogatari anime, right? Why do you know?"

"I was told Erza. He said I looked a bit like the all-knowing Hanekawa."

"Eh. I also know from Erza. He recommended the anime. I only watched one season because I was bored."

"I'm not even watching."

The conversation ended. I fell silent while sitting leaning on the bed. Akemi went around looking at my room. Checking the comics on my bookshelf, and doing various other things. He always seemed curious.

As a girlfriend, Akemi looks cute and adorable. He never once opened his phone or showed a bored look. A girl like Akemi who appreciates her partner will definitely make anyone feel happy.

"Hoshi, where are you going today? Have you made any plans?" akemi asked after sitting next to me.

"Ah, about that. doesn't seem to be. I don't want to go anywhere today. I want to stay home. Sorry to disappoint you, Akemi. You're actually going for a walk, right?"

"That's okay, Hoshi. I'll keep you here all day."

"I'd be afraid if I suddenly met Erza outside. Although the possibility is small, but my hunch says so. I feel like I'm meeting Erza outside. I don't want him to misunderstand."

Akemi laughed a little.

"Don't worry about that. I told Erza. I said I went to Hoshi's house and pretended to be his girlfriend today. Erza was just shocked and said okay."

"You told Erza about this?!"

"Yes." Yeah."

Akemi. I'm embarrassed like this. But, Akemi really is, anyway. He definitely did not want to think that he had betrayed Erza.

Ah, no, it must be just an excuse. Akemi would have just wanted Erza to know what she was doing today.

"Once, please don't tell the others. Erza knows enough."

"Yes, just calm down."

"And also, I still don't want to go outside, I want to be home all day."

"Yes, it's okay, Hoshi. As a good boyfriend, I appreciate your desire. I will stay here and spend time with you. Okay?"

"I-iya, thank you, Akemi."

Relax, relax, it's just an act. I can't get carried away.

"Akemi, there's something I've always wanted to do if I had a boyfriend."

"Oh, what is it?"

"I. I want us to listen to music while sharing earphones. While. holding hands too if possible...."

Akemi opened her mouth.

"Good idea. I've never thought of it before. Let's do it, Hoshi."

"You don't mind holding hands with me?"

"It's okay, just holding a normal hand. Let's just say I'm your rental boyfriend. Understood?"

"Y-yeah...."

I took my phone and put on a wired white earphone. I put the left earphone in my ear, and the right one in Akemi's ear. Only up to this stage has my heart been pounding.

"Playlist of Queen songs. Don't mind, do you?"

"Yes, I want to hear the songs."

"Good."

I started playing the song too. Random mode. The first song was titled Love of My Life.

"Achemy...." I put my left hand.

"Yes...." Akemi grasped it, our fingers interlocked.

My heart feels like it's going to explode. Deg-degan severe. Listening to mellow songs while sharing earphones and holding hands with Akemi, this is the happiest moment of my life.

I closed my eyes and enjoyed the song.

Although the song is titled Love of My Life, but the lyrics contain the sadness of a man who was hurt and abandoned by his lover. The man loved his girlfriend very much, and hoped that her lover would not leave her again.

The lyrics are somewhat in line with how I feel about Akemi. After this, Akemi will make me sick and leave me, because all this is just a pretense.

We sat next to each other's shoulders. Our hands hold each other. White earphones connect our ears. This position is much more romantic than dating to any place. I really enjoyed it.

One by one the songs began to roll. I Want to Break Free, Under Pressure, Killer Queen, to Little Crazy Thing Called Love. Just listen to myself I always enjoy, especially now listen with Akemi and hold hands with each other.

"Akemi, how? Do you like the song?"

"Yes, the song is unique. I'll probably put Under Pressure into my playlist later."

"Ah, coincidentally, it's also my favorite song in Queen."

"Ah, so, yes."

Thank goodness Akemi enjoys. I clasped her hand even tighter, and Akemi replied. I can feel the heat of my hands and the smoothness of his skin. My heart was completely made unsafe.

Unlike me, Akemi must be ordinary, there are no feelings at all.

While we were doing this, my mother suddenly walked into the room carrying two cups of iced tea. She blushed as she looked at my hand and Akemi held each other.

Akemi just smiled at him.

"This is the tea, who knows you're thirsty." My mom put two iced cups of tea.

"Thank you, Okaa-san. I feel bad for bothering Okaa-san like this." Akemi.

"Eh... It's okay.. What time do you want to go on a date?"

"Hoshi said to rest at home. I'll be with him here all day. It's okay, Okaa-san?"

"Of course it's okay! Consider it your own home, yes!"

"Thank you, Okaa-san." Akemi smiled.

He looked at me for a moment, gave a look as if he was proud of me, then left the room.

We continue the playlist until it is finished. Enjoy every song that spins while chatting and holding hands. Akemi is great at being able to do this without feeling anything.

As soon as the playlist was over, I offered Akemi to watch a movie together.

"Which one do you want to choose?" I'm giving three DVDs. I haven't seen the three of them yet. One horror film titled Idle Hand, one romantic film titled You Are The Apple of My Eyes, another anime film titled Hello World.

Akemi chose a horror movie called Idle Hand. Will there be a scene of Akemi being frightened and suddenly hugging me?

"Yes, let's go downstairs."

We also went down to the family room. The atmosphere was so quiet that I checked the whole house. There's no one here. Mom seemed to be following Dad to the store. While Shina might go outside with her friend.

Does this mean I'm alone with Akemi?

I try to be ordinary. I put the DVD in the cassette player, then sat on the couch facing the big screen television. Me and Akemi sat next to each other.

"Ready?" my many.

"Yes!"

The movie begins.

I read the synopsis and was interested. Idle Hand is a '90s old-school horror comedy film. Tells about the main character who never used his left hand during life, until finally his left hand was possessed by a demon and can move by itself. I immediately remembered Keiko's curse. Difference between right hand Keiko.

Akemi and I enjoyed the movie, and laughed at the comedy. American western movies do have a special joke that can always make me laugh.

However, there is one thing I am not aware of. There are a lot of vulgar scenes in this movie. One of them is the left hand scene of the main character who is very naughty and often touches sensitive female body parts.

The scene in the car. A couple did a nasty thing there. The girl undressed and saw her breasts that were not censored at all. It's like a porn scene. I saw Akemi's face begin to blush and her expression was unusual. Akemi was definitely not used to seeing scenes like this.

Ah, no, I'm used to it. I feel guilty for Akemi.

But, her blushing face was so cute. Rarely do I see Akemi express that way.

Without feeling the film is finished. Time is almost at noon. There's still plenty of time I can do with Akemi.

"Hoshi.. sorry. Can I borrow your bed?" Akemi looks at.

"Oh, yeah, I can."

"Sorry, I should have spent a lot of time with you, but I'm suddenly sleepy."

"Yes, it's okay, Akemi. This is actually enough. You can go home now. Thank you, yes!"

Akemi shakes.

"I don't have the energy to go home. I want to go to bed quickly. Can, huh?"

"Yes, yes, please Akemi."

He got off the couch and went to my room as naturally as he was used to. When I checked, he was already lying on the bed with his scarf and pink cardigan removed.

I walked closer. I saw Akemi's sleeping face. He looks so exhausted. Her sleep is so good.

I swallowed spit.

Even when sleeping, her face was beautiful.

I focused on looking at her lips. My heart is beating fast. If I kiss him, will he wake up?

No, Akemi won't wake up. I'm certain. Her sleep is very good. A small touch on the lips will not make him aware.

Shit, shit, shit. Her lips are so seductive. I really wanted to kiss her. Akemi's without defense now. I can do it if I want.

Should I do it?

I stood sculpting. Demons and angels fought in my head as I stared at her beautiful face. I want to stroke her cheek, I want to caress her hair, I want to put my finger in her mouth.

Shit, shit, shit. Why isn't Akemi my boyfriend? Why does he like Erza? I can make her happier! I will not be confused like Erza who is still considering Yurina! I will choose Akemi without a second thought!

Ah, ah, ah. This isn't good. I really want to kiss Akemi now. It's a golden opportunity. There will never be another moment like this in my life. Just lip-smacking is okay, right? He won't know. Akemi won't feel her first kiss has been taken. It was just a kiss. Not a big thing.

Yeah, it's okay. I'm gonna kiss Akemi now. I'll never get it, so a kiss is enough for me. I'm sorry, Akemi. Your own fault that looks tempting like this. It's your fault for not knowing I like you so much.

Slowly, I began to advance my head, bringing my lips closer to Akemi's lips. I'll kiss her three times. Just a little peck.

Just a few seconds until our lips touched. My heart is beating faster. I'm sorry, Akemi!

...

Of course I didn't.

I pulled back my head and took a deep breath.

I don't want to betray Akemi's trust. Akemi wants to pretend to be my girlfriend and daring to sleep here means she trusts me a lot. I have a crush on Akemi right now, but more than that, I love her very much. I don't want to ruin Akemi with my unspeakable actions.

Instead, I took a cell phone and photographed the sleeping photo of Akemi.

***

Akemi wakes up at 5pm, and after that goes straight home. Bidding my whole family.

"Hoshi, take her home" my mother asked.

"Good."

I walked out with Akemi. He seemed to feel guilty for sleeping long enough in my house. His face still looks sleepy, but still looks cute.

"Sorry Hoshi, I sleep all day. I still owe you six hours. Next week if you want to."

I'm shaking. "It's okay, Akemi. That's enough. Thank you very much, really. For next week you'd better spend some time with Erza."

"E-eh. well, thank you, Hoshi." Her face was always flushed every time I talked about Erza.

I'm recalling what happened last afternoon. Akemi who I think is very great and difficult to conquer, it turns out to have a lot of gaps. If I were a bad person, Akemi would already be in danger.

I wanted to protect him.

"Here you go, Hoshi."

We stopped at the stop.

"Thank you, Akemi. Now I have the experience of dating. When I have a girlfriend, I will not be confused anymore. Again, thank you."

Akemi smiled.

"Thank God. I have some ideas now too. One of them listened to music while holding hands like that. You're so romantic, Hoshi. I want to do it with my partner later."

"You mean Erza?"

"Y-yeah, I hope he wants to."

"He'll want to. Just relax."

"Ehehehe.. I hope, yes."

The bus that Akemi was waiting for arrived.

"I'm going home, Hoshi. Let's fight in the sports week. Ah, you're not coming, anyway. Take it easy, I'll do my best!"

"Yes, Akemi's spirit, win for me."

"Yes!"

Akemi left me. My chest is starting to feel tight. My dream ended this afternoon. I'll never get that close again with Akemi.

I stared at Akemi's bus which was slowly getting away. Akemi's not with me now, but this warm feeling still lingers in the heart.

Ah, shit, I really like Akemi.

But, I can't.

I have to lower the standard of my favorite girl.

If I always expected a girl like Akemi, I would never get a boyfriend.
