Hello everyone~ look who is back after two years (I didn't noticed that it has been that long.) I apologize for being on-hiatus for two years, really. I have been busy as a University Student. My choice of program is not that easy, so I have to focus seriously on my studies first.

Anyway, I decided to have a comeback in writing by posting this story that was requested to me by KaMi-HiMe BVB 2 years ago and I apologize for taking long to write. This story was supposed to be posted 2 years ago too but due to some circumstances and busy at school, I only able to find time writing right now. Gomenasai...

I almost forgot, this story is based at the end of third season (so a bit spoiler's alert)

So hope you enjoy a short prologue, dozo!

Disclaimers: I do not own Uta no Prince-sama and its characters. It belongs to its rightful owner.

Warning: MxM, possible grammatical error and possible out of character.

Rating: T (it might change to M but who knows)

Enjoy~

PROLOGUE

Everything became complicated after what happened at the International Sport Event that occurred two months ago.

STARISH and QUARTET NIGHT were now rivals and with the addition of the new HEAVENS, things will get more interesting. And aside from that, QUARTET NIGHT didn't come back to the Master Course Dorm after their declaration of war against STARISH. This set the STARISH on edge but they got over with it and they were now excited to compete with their senpais as idols.

But as much as they are prepared, unexpected things were bound to happen, be it good or bad...

A certain blonde-haired male slowly opened his eyes and sat up from the bed. He looked around his surroundings and noticed that it was still dark. He looked at the digital clock on the bedside table that reads '5:30am'. He sighed before his gaze stopped at the bed where a certain cheerful blonde-haired male was sleeping at. The place that used to have a bunk bed.

'No matter what happens, it won't change anything and won't ever go back to normal and he won't ever acknowledge me, no matter what I do,' were blonde male's thoughts.

.

.

.

Then all of a sudden, he found himself clutching his chest, in pain.

A few hours later, STARISH members were now practicing their new song and new dance steps for their upcoming performance live, in two weeks time.

Hijirikawa Masato and Ichinose Tokiya were both having a conversation about their dance steps and their formation. Jinguji Ren and Shinomiya Natsuki seem to be focused on perfecting their dance steps while singing their new song. Ittoki Otoya on the other hand, was teaching the Agnapolis' next ruler, Aijima Cecil some of the dance steps that the latter couldn't follow. Their composer, Nanami Haruka, was watching the members practice with a contented smile plaster on her face.

The members are very active and cooperative with the exception of one...

Kurusu Syo, the usually active and charismatic member, who is very dedicated in everything he does for the group and for himself, is not in his usual self that day.

He is seen to be leaning against the wall while looking outside the window with a distant look. But if one of the members look closely, it can be seen that he has been clutching his clothes and been wearing a painful expression.

Syo may not know but most of the members were worried about him and knew the reason why he was acting that way.

It was because of a certain blue-haired senpai.

The members even wonder why Syo was even bothered that much, although they knew the answer.

.

.

.

You guessed it right!

.

.

.

Kurusu Syo, who was supposedly had a crush on Nanami Haruka, is now in love with the youngest member of QUARTET NIGHT, Mikaze Ai.

Everyone in the Master Course knew, including their former teachers and their seniors, about his feelings. With the exception of the said blue-haired senior, that is.

Despite the bantering exchange between the two, it was plain obvious for them.

The STARISH members are very supportive and always rooting for AiSyo couple but they were afraid that Syo's affection would be a one-sided. Knowing the fact that Ai is a robot to boot and not to mention, their current relationship with them and the current situation they are in.

Anyway, back to the story...

The other STARISH members decided to stop their practice for the time being to take some rest and eat something. After all, it was already lunch time.

Natsuki, being the happy-go lucky, went to Syo and happily glomped on him, surprising the latter.

"Natsuki, you jerk! What are you doing?! Let go!" Syo struggled to get free from Natsuki's bear hug.

"Gomen, Syo-chan. But we all decided to take a break and eat something." Natsuki said as he smiles happily.

Syo blinked twice before smiling slightly, feeling a bit flattered.

'Who knew Natsuki can be this thoughtful.' Syo thought but he took back his thoughts when Natsuki suddenly pulled him and dragged him to where the others are.

"Natsuki, you jerk! Stop running!" Syo shouted in annoyance.

All of the members of STARISH, with the addition of Nanami and her best friend, Shibuya Tomochika and their former teacher and famous cross-dressed idol, Tsukimiya Ringo were now enjoying eating their lunch, made by Hijirikawa and Nanami.

After eating their lunch, they all decided to get some rest for a bit before going back to practice.

Hence, most of them are having a conversation with one another or so we thought.

Nanami, Tomochika and Ringo were having a conversation about the latest fashion trend and events that will occurred this month.

Hijirikawa and Jinguji seemed to be in a heated debate about something, with Natsuki trying to calm them down while smiling.

Tokiya is seen to be memorizing some lines as he holds a script while sipping some tea.

Otoya and Cecil were seen to be playing cards and flicking each other's forehead as punishment to whoever lose the game.

Syo on the other hand, was listening silently to the girls' talk as he staring outside through the window.

Natsuki, who finally calmed down the two heirs, noticed this and suddenly, he's next to Syo and began to bother him by starting a conversation. Cecil and Otoya, who got bored in playing, also joined the conversation and spouting random stuffs and some non-sense while they were at it.

Syo looked at them in bewilderment and blinked twice before laughing hard.

"Hahahaha! J-just what are you guys doing? I-hahahaha!" Syo mustered to speak but ended up laughing some more.

The Happy-go lucky trio blinked in surprise before laughing as well.

The others, who stopped doing whatever they were doing, had their heads facing the quartet's direction and they all sighed in relief.

'It seems that everything will be alright.' They all thought as they smile, feeling giddy at the scene.

And they all thought everything will be fine but then...

.

.

.

The melody of laughter was replaced by shouts and screams of terror and panic filled the place as they all rushed to Syo's side

.

.

.

Syo lost consciousness while in Natsuki's arms.
