Date with Haruka Week

Chapter 1

It was that time of the month for Nanami Haruka. I'm not talking about that time of the month if that's what you think. It was no other than Composing Week, the week when Haruka spends a day with each different STARISH member for… well, a week so that she can get her inspiration to compose a song for them. Shining Saotome invented that special week of the month when he realized that Haruka composed a song for Cecil but it was more suited for Syo to sing.

"No, no, no, Mizzz Nanamiii~!" Shining wagged a finger at her face. "You should alwayzzz remembaaa to compose a sooong that will refleeeeeect the STARISH-tachi's persoNALITEEEEE!"

After that incident, their president declared that on the last week of every month, every composer in the company will spend their time with the idol they're working with to get into their 'character' and compose a song that will be *insert idol name*-like. In Haruka's case, she should make a STARISH-like song instead of QUARTET NIGHT or HEAVENS. In case you're wondering, that Cecil-Syo swapping accident wasn't the first time Haruka messed up. A few months ago, after QUARTET NIGHT decided to be active again and Nanami was momentarily assigned to be their composer, she started composing a song that sounded very much STARISH which made the hot-headed Ranmaru flip a table. To compensate for her mistake, she made a song entitled QUARTET NIGHT for the group QUARTET NIGHT (weird, huh?) It managed to pass Camus and Ranmaru's strict standards and published it as their comeback single. It was a hit. After that, she returned with QUARTET NIGHT's music still in her system and made songs for them instead of STARISH. Haruka only realized this when Tomo-chan pointed it out, she returned back on track and composed RAINBOW DREAM for STARISH. It was another hit. Oh, and a month after the STARISH-HEAVENS battle HEAVENS requested for Haruka…

Enough about them, let's return back to STARISH. Haruka apologized to the group because she keeps on screwing up and now they have to make time for her every month even with their busy schedule. They said it was fine and they actually liked the idea because they haven't been hanging out with her. Though Ichinose-san thought it was weird that President Saotome called it 'Composing Week' even though it was more of—

"YAY! I'M GOING TO HAVE A DATE WITH HARUKA EVERY MONTH!" Cecil beamed, grabbing Haruka's hand and giving it a kiss. "Do not worry, Haruka. The muse is with us and I assure you that our date will be very fun, unlike theirs."

The looks on their faces, it was something that will be forever engraved in Haruka's mind.

Almost everyone in STARISH refers to this week as 'Date-with-Haruka Week' and treats it like a holiday.

They decide the line-up by using the numbered-stick method on the Saturday before the last week. And today was Saturday, which means it's already the drawing day. Haruka couldn't help but wonder what was installed for her this month. Every time was different; every member had their own version of a 'work meeting'. But even so, it was guaranteed that Haruka will have a great time. No matter which STARISH member it was, she knows she'll have fun because she's with them, her friends. And without failure, the petite composer produces a song inspired by their date. Saotome gets his songs; the group gets to hang out with Haruka. It was a win-win situation for them.

The red-haired girl made one quick glance at her apartment before closing the door.

"I'll be taking my leave."

Somewhere at a restaurant nearby the Shining Agency, a group of handsome men was having a short meeting. Any normal girl would have jumped at the sight of their faces, for they were the one and only boy band, STARISH. Well, actually a few girls attempted to do so but when they were five meters away from them, they felt the intense suffocating aura they emitted and decided to back off.

Tokiya and Otoya were on their table, sitting right next to each other. Natsuki was sitting on the chair in front of the two. Ren was leaning on the wall, surrounded by girls. Masato was far away from them, a book in his hand. Syo was holding a game console, but it looked like he wasn't concentrating on playing it. While the newest member, Cecil, was on for the look out. Each member had a deep expression on their faces, well, excluding Natsuki who was busy admiring his parfait.

"Don't you guys dare do anything to Nanami…" The red-haired clenched his hands that were resting on his knees. The usually cheerful Ittoki Otaya said seriously, but because of his carefree persona, he looked as if he was trying too hard and wasn't believable.

"Says the one who tried to kiss her inside a haunted house." Ichinose Tokiya rolled eyes, playing with his straw as he mixed the ice in his now empty glass of iced tea.

The young man stiffened and turned as bright as his hair. He leaned closer to his roommate. "To-tokiya," He whispered, eyeing the other members of the boy band with caution. "Not in front of them… they don't know—"

"You know Tokki," Jinguuji Ren, the lady-killer of the group, left his harem and slammed his hand on Otoya's table, making the ice in Tokiya's glass jump a little but he didn't say anything. "Even on my standard, that was terribly cliché of you."

Kurusu Syo and Hijirikawa Masato nodded in agreement.

"Wait, you know about that…" Ittoki didn't even finish his sentence. His eyes automatically went to his roommate. "TOKIYA! WHY DID YOU TELL THEM?!"

"Tell them what?" Tokiya feigned ignorance; he sipped on the melted ice. He made a face; it didn't taste like anything at all.

"About me trying to kiss Nanami inside the haunted house!" Otoya was practically shouting now, his voice was so loud everyone in the restaurant was now staring at them with curious eyes. The crowd started whispering in suspicion about who they are.

They all sweat-dropped. With that, they went back to their seats and formed a little circle. Even Masato who was enjoying his own little world scooted over.

"Otoya!" The short one in the group, Kurusu Syo, whispered. "Don't be so loud! What's the point with this disguise if you're just gonna give our identities away!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Still though," Masato surprisingly interjected. "You surely are the worst using Nanami's weakness for your own benefit."

Everyone nodded in agreement once more.

"Mou!" Otoya flushed even brighter, his fist clenching as tried to hide his embarrassment. "Stop it, you guys!"

"Everyone," The STARISH members turned to see Aijima Cecil call from behind them. "Haruka has arrived."

Everyone stood still, tension evident on their bodies. But the idea of spending time with Nanami Haruka made it dissipate and was replaced by looks of determination. They looked at one another before nodding.

"Good luck."

Everyone, come here! The sticks are in the jar Haruka is holding. Come here…" Cecil was making hand gestures for them to go there. He looked as if he was a traffic enforcer, Haruka found it cute.

Once everyone arrived, they made a small half-circle around Haruka.

"Haru-chan!"

"Nanami-san."

"Kohitsuji-chan."

"Nanami!" "

"Nanami!"

"Nanami."

… Came their greetings. Haruka smiled and bowed at them.

"Hello everyone, I'm glad all of you could attend our meeting!"

"Moe~!" Natsuki and Otoya beamed silently.

Tokiya shook his head. "No, the pleasure's ours. Lately, we've become even busier with our schedules. But every time the end of the month comes, we can relax."

"And spend our time with you," Ren added.

Haruka blushed. She was happy that they were willing to give their time for her. She knows how busy they are, but they always save this week just for her. No one might have realized it, but because of this 'Composer Week', Haruka's compositions are a lot better than before. She doesn't really know why, maybe it's because she was able to transform her excitement with their meeting into a grand song or it's simply because she spent her time with the people she loves the most. That is why the outcome was so beautiful. For all she knows, every moment with them is a blessing and she will continue cherishing them until the passing years.

"Let's start now," Masato exclaimed. Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Yes! I did it!"

"Whoaaa! Yes!"

"Not bad."

"I see…"

"Hm.."

"NOOOO! I DON'T WANT THIS!"

"…"

Haruka was sitting alone inside the restaurant nearby, eating a strawberry cake with vanilla frosting. Even though she was strictly forbidden, golden eyes peeked in curiosity on what's happening outside. She really doesn't understand why they always send her off when they're checking whose turn is when. They told her they wanted it to be a surprise for her, but just listening to their reaction; the red-haired already had an idea how this month's line up will be.

After a moment of cheering, mourning, and total blankness, they had their guts back together and returned to the restaurant where Nanami was ordered to stay at. They went inside the restaurant. As soon as they saw the red-haired, they went to their respective seats and surrounded her. Haruka examined their facial expression. Some were happy, some were neutral, and some looked as if they lost the will to live.

"So," Syo cleared his throat, "Just wait for the time and location Tomo-chan's going to give you for the dates, uh, I mean, the meeting."

Haruka smiled and nodded. Here's another example of their 'tradition'. Haruka will not know when or where their date is going to be, not until Tomochika Shibuya, her former roommate but still, her best friend would randomly barge into her room with a shopping bag full of clothes. The red-haired would proceed to dress her and would apply make-up on her face, after the transformation she would give Haruka a small sheet of paper that contains all the details about their 'meeting'.

She rose up from her seat and went in front of the boys. They all eyed her in curiosity. She took a deep breath before bowing.

"Please take care of me!" Haruka sounded so business-wise.

All of STARISH laughed awkwardly. They wondered if Haruka still thinks this is a business assembly rather than date. The red-haired can be dense sometimes, but everyone found it adorably innocent. They nodded and said in unison,

"You can count on us!"
