What Is Love? [UtaPri: Ai Mikaze Fan Fict]

The Only Thing

The Only Thing

Ai-kun has been practicing singing alot lately, but there's just one thing
that's always been missing in his songs. It's almost perfect. However,
Ai-kun just can't find out what was missing. But even I.. can't find out.

Ai-kun was practicing today with Reiji-kun but after singing,
Reiji-kun gave him a sad hopeless look and shaking his head slowly,
it probably means that Ai-kun is still incomplete.

After practicing, Reiji-kun left and told me to support Ai-kun.
Of course I would. Ai-kun suddenly walked up to me, he looks sad.

Lily: What's wrong.. Ai-kun?

Ai: Lily.. I don't get it, I analyzed everything. It was perfect. The timing,
my voice, the beat, everything. I don't get what's wrong at all.

Lily: ....I'm sure you will find out soon enough, Ai-kun.

Ai: I hope so. Let's go home..

Lily: Okay.

While walking home, Ai-kun was unusually walking faster than usual.
Wondering why as I couldn't keep up.. I stopped and stood there,
staring at him for a moment, asking myself, "What's wrong?"And it wasn't that long until he noticed me being lost in thoughts.

Ai: Lily..? What's wrong?

Lily: ! o: ... N-Nothing.

Ai-kun suddenly reached out his hand to me, asking me to hold it.

Ai: Sorry, was I too fast? I'm just a little too stressed out with what's wrong.
Here, take my hand. Let's walk together.

Lily: .... o////////o... o-okay.

I hesitated to take his hand for a moment, but seeing him smile as he offered me his hand,
made me accept it. We walked home while holding hands to make sure Ai will keep up
with me. He's adorable and still innocent at the same time. Which is why he's vulnerable..

Ai: Lily.. you also don't know what's missing in my songs.. right?

Lily: (Sadly, I don't..) Yes..

Ai: ......

Ai-kun seemed down for a moment, but he regained that gentle expression of his.

Ai: In that case, let's find out together.

Lily: ...! .... Yes, let's do that :)
