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

The Firework Of My Life

The Firework Of My Life

It's almost New Year's Day.
Quartet Night will perform that day.
Everyone has decided that they
would support what's missing
in Ai-kun's voice.

One cold morning..
I was having coffee while reading some magazine.
It's a magazine where famous musicians are featured.
Musicians from Shining Saotome's agency were featured..

"Hey, good morning Lily."
Ai-kun suddenly came out of the corner and greeted me.

"G-Good morning, Ai-kun."
I responded to him with a smile.

He walked up to me and noticed the magazine I was reading.

"This is..?"
Ai-kun curiously asked.

"It's a magazine that features famous music artists.
 One day, Quartet Night will be featured here for sure! :)"
I answered him.

As he looked at the magazine, he looks amazed at how
"professional" the ones who were featured looks. Even
if he was so expressionless, I can tell he's amazed.

"Quartet Night.."
Ai-kun said quietly.

"I-Is there anything wrong, Ai-kun?"
I got worried and asked him what's wrong.

"Reiji.. Ranmaru.. Camus.. they're helping me fill in
 what's missing in my songs. But I wonder if I have
 ever helped them in any way..?"
He said as he faced me and I felt that he was somehow 'worried'.

"Yes, you have, Ai-kun. If you hadn't accepted Reiji-kun's
 proposal before, do you think you guys would ever
 improve like this? You're a big help to them Ai-kun,
 even if they don't say it, I know that they are grateful
 to you for being there with them."
I answered him and smiled at him to help comfort him.

Ai-kun's eyes widened a little and he looked like
as if he couldn't believe what he heard. But his
face returned to its normal expressionless look
within a second, but as that moment occured,
Ai-kun also placed his hand on top of my head,
and started to stroke my hair.

Curious and wondering why, I asked him.
"A-Ai-kun.. why are you....?"

Ai-kun's eyes looked like as if they were sparkling.
"Your hair is the same color as snow and so soft too.
 Your eyes is bright-silver and it always reminds me
 of snow. Lily reminds me of snow.. and snow is beautiful."
Ai-kun said.

I was speechless.. but I wondered if that's the reason
why he did something weird like stroking my hair out of the blue.

"Also.. Thank you Lily, you always help me."
Ai-kun smiled at me as he answered my question.

"You're welcome Ai-kun, I'd do anything for you."
I smiled as he thanked me, it gave me a warm feeling.

"Anything?"
Ai-kun added.

"H-Huh? Uh, yeah.."
I answered.

 "Then will Lily never leave me?"
Ai-kun stopped running his fingers through my hair
and became serious for a moment.

I stopped for a moment.
Yes, I once thought about leaving Ai-kun someday.
But hearing him say this, made me realize that
I also wanted to stay by his side. After all, he's always
been the only one I'm always with. Ai-kun was always
with me.
