Let Me be His Replacement

I like... Thanks

Ichigo's POV

*sigh* Thinking about it now gives me a headache
"So is that why you decided to do a Solo Live two days ago?" Ran asked,
"Yup!"
"Because Suzukawa-sensei challenged you to and thought that it would really help you out?" Aoi asked
"Yup!"
"And when you were crying at the gazebo that night, Suzukawa-sensei said he could help you?" they both asked
"Yup!" I answered with a closed-eyed smile

"So performing helped you get over him?" Ran asked, I nodded
"Yup!"
"But you were performing this whole time!" Aoi exclaimed
"Well, maybe because he was there?" I said
"Suzukawa-sensei watching your performance? He watched your performance during the Starlight Queen Cup when we were Second years, and the time when King-san and Suzukawa-sensei had a problem" Aoi stated
"Well, it wasn't performing, it was move on" I said in a low voice, they seemed shocked so they must've heard what I said
"Eh?!" they said in unison
"Aoi, Ran... Please quiet down" I begged them as I sweat dropped, Aoi spoke up

"Hold on, speaking about move on. Does that mean..." me and Ran looked at each other then back at Aoi
"Does that mean you like someone else now?!" Aoi asked, she looked at me for answers, Ran did the same. I'm still thinking whether I should tell them that I like Suzukawa-san or not. They're my friends so I guess... Its... Okay?
"Yes, I like someone else" they were silent
"Eehhh?!!"
"Please quiet down" I begged again
"If you like someone else then who is it?" Aoi asked
"You can tell us, it's okay" Ran said
"Could it be..." Aoi started
"Johnny-sensei?" they both said at the same time, imagining something
"No! It's not him!" I said breaking what they imagined
"Quiet down, Ichigo" they both said at the same time as I looked down

"Then who is it?"
"Um... Well..." I looked at them, and from then look on their faces, they really want to know, I sighed as I closed my eyes and looked down
"It's... Ka... Sen"
"What? Could you please say it louder?" Ran asked
"It... Ka... Sei"
"Could you repeat that please and a bit more loud?" Aoi asked
"It's Suzukawa-sensei" I finally said it, how will they react? They blinked twice
"EEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHH????!!!!!!!!"

"Please quiet down!" I begged again
"But you can't!" Aoi protested
"You're an idol, and idols are banned to fall in love and be in relationships. Not to mention, you're a student and he's a teacher, and a student and a teacher can't be together!" she explained
"I know. But I don't care about that"
"You don't?"
"I don't" Aoi melted in her seat
"Remember what I said?" I started
"Huh?" they both said

"It's okay for an idol to love, as long as it's not only for one person" I stated
"But still, you're a student and he's a teacher" Ran said
"I know" I fell silent
"But, I really want this to work out, so please don't tell anyone about this" I asked them as I bowed to the both of them, Aoi sighed
"Okay, if that's what you want then we'll support you"
"Yeah. But don't back down on your training" Ran said
"Aoi... Ran... Thank you" I said as I stood up to hug both of them, they hugged back, in a while I broke the hug and sat back down on my bed

"It's a great match. Ichigo, who is a very enthusiastic and happy girl, with Nao, the cold and sarcastic boy, it's a great match!" Aoi exclaimed
"Did you just used his stage name from More-than-True?" Ran asked
"Yup!" Aoi answered, Ran face-palmed
"It's also a great match since Ichigo's an idol and a leader of Soleil, while Nao is in a rock band, More-than-True and is a leader and a vocalist. Great match!" Aoi exclaimed
"Yeah, but he's a teacher" Ran said
"You're right... This is bad! My great match..." Aoi said as she melted on her seat, which made me remember something
"Now that you mention that, I'm gonna ask Suzukawa-san what his age is when I see him" I stated

"-san?" they both asked in unison, I blinked
"Ah! I mean sensei!" I said while waving my hands, they giggled
"Why are you calling him with a -san?" Ran asked
"I'm just used to calling him with a -san" I said,
"As you were saying, Ichigo?" Aoi started
"Right. When I see him I'll ask his age" I said
"Tell us when you know it, okay?" Aoi said
"Okay!"
"You never know, he might be our age" Ran stated
"If he is then it really is a Great match!" Aoi said, we all laughed, until we calmed down
"Thanks guys..."
"No problem. What are friends for?" Aoi said, we all smiled
