Author's Note: Hello, everyone! My name is Yuri! Well, I've decided to change things up a bit. I'm doing to make a Love Live story with a Male OC. It's going to be a lot of work, but it's going to be a lot of fun, too. Since its my first time to make a story with a male OC or with a male presence, don't show some hostility, please? So, enjoy~! ;)
Some school at Ikebukuro (1)
On a busy streets of Tokyo, a young dark blue haired man stands by the wall, listening to his music and reading a book at the same time. He pays no attention to anyone around him as he's listening to his favorite songs on his playlist. The building he's standing by is a college for music and arts called Yamigara Academy, a co-ed school which shows the building that is so prestige and world class (2). It is a wonder if he was a scholar or , some heard that he is a prodigy due to him learning music at a very young age.
The males are wearing a long sleeve white polo with a black business suit with two sidepockets, with a matching black necktie or a small black bowtie on the neck part. They also have a black leather pants with black leather shoes also with white socks. As for the females, They wear a short sleeve white polo with a matching black blazer. Alternative is a long sleeve white polo with mini black fashionable vest. They also have a black miniskirt with black leggings or stockings, with black high heels. Their school insignia is a raven with a Kanji that says "Yamigara".
Then, a green haired man with glasses is just walking around and smiles, whistling while putting his hands on his pocket. He saw the bluenette and he lifts his glasses, adjusting it in his comfortable position. He greets the man with enthusiasm, "Hey there Tsuyoshi!" He runs, while he is going to him. The music junkie then removed his headphones, looking at the megane and gives him a high five.
Sousuke returned the high five and asked, "Is class already started?" His hands are now in the sides.
Tsuyoshi looks at his wristwatch and he was sweating because, they are three minutes early before class starts, "Crap."
"What's up?" The green haired guy tilted his head, before his eyes widened and he felt a grip on his left wrist, with Tsuyoshi running fast and rambling about his blunder/mistake and such.
"Shoot! Its my fault that I'm in my own world!"
Suddenly, students that were watching them sweat dropped due to how funny the scenario is, "For a prodigy, he actually gets rattled, way too easily." One male student shrugged.
Some of the girls were actually admiring Tsuyoshi, even if Sousuke was freaking out due to him running fast.
The two managed to get to their class on time and sit at the desks next to each other.
"Made it!" Tsuyoshi sighed as he let out a big exhale in relief.
"Dude, you've got to stop doing that," Sousuke warned him, "Who knows what will happen when you're in your music zone."
"I know," Tsuyoshi huffed while sweating a lot due to running as fast as he could, "Then again, music is in my veins."
Sousuke sweat dropped, he just loved his music way too much, "You are a prodigy. But sometimes, you have to slow down man." He was adjusting the position of his glasses as he was grabbing a towels to rub the sweat off their faces.
After several minutes passed, a teacher arrived, preparing the lesson and quizzes. He was in his early forties and wearing clothes fitting for a teacher/music conductor. He had slick black hair and yellow eyes that commanded the students to stand at attention. Tsuyoshi and Sousuke stood up, knowing how strict the man could be in his teaching style.
After sometime had passed, they sat down, the duo were on discussion and possibly... Preparing for quiz. Sousuke was a second year arts student and only had one subject that he and his classmate Tsuyoshi shared, musical psychology.
**Meanwhile at the other school… Near Akihabara.**
Honoka, Umi and Kotori were walking down the hallway, hoping they weren't late for class.
"You better do well in that test today," Umi hoped, thinking that the girl would definitely laze around again, "Because we studied good and hard the last few days."
"I know..." Honoka groaned, "But you didn't have to torture me to do it!"
"That's the only way to get you to study properly!" Umi yelled, making Honoka yelp because that was definitely a good reminder.
"A-at least Honoka-chan studying will pay off, right?" Kotori asked, a bit nervously due to how high the tension Umi put on to the auburn haired girl, as she tried to set a positive mood.
"It'd better," Umi sighed, still having doubt in her friend as she crossed her arms.
As the girls entered the classroom, luckily that they were not late as they went to their seats. They knew that their school was in danger of bankruptcy and they desired to do something about it. Honoka was actually worried about the situation, not only because she was bored of studying, but because of their school's situation.
Kotori noticed her worry of and asked, "Is there something wrong Honoka-chan?"
The auburn haired girl then snapped back to reality as she looked at the cream haired girl with assurance, "Nothing is wrong. Its just the quiz that gets me."
Umi was getting skeptical if Honoka would do well in her quiz, "Are you sure that you aren't worried about something?"
The girl nodded vigorously, though it definitely looked funny because some of the girls, even the black haired one was giggling.
Not too long ago, Honoka discovered that the school was closing down, due to lack of applicants. She was only in her second year and she didn't want that to happen.
The gentle girl named Izumi was whistling, looking at the sight of the girls who were discussing on matters about how to avoid the school from shutting down. She got a flyer that could possibly help the school avoid shutting down, though she was a bit far from them, looking at the window.
"I don't want that we can't go to school anymore!" Kotori practically screamed as she started semi-freaking out before huffing to calm herself down, "What shall we do to avoid that Honoka-chan?"
Honoka was thinking with her thumb and ring finger right under chin, leaning and thinking while Umi was wondering, 'What is she thinking?'
This school can't fall down to the ground! Honoka thought. There's got to be a way to undo it! There are other students that want to attend here!
She looked in the other direction and saw a dark haired girl sitting just diagonally across from her.
Izumi was holding a flyer and thought, What is this Love Live! Competition anyway? This is certainly something I'm definitely not interested in. Before she can even think about it, she was poked by the shoulder and was asked by someone, "Excuse me? Izumi-chan, right?"
She got startled a bit and she stared the girl with her cyan eyes, crossing her arms while facing her, "Yes," She nodded, though she didn't like that it was instant. "How can I help you?" she asked in a gentle manner, yet with a hint of annoyance.
"I was just wondering what you have there," Honoka wondered as her eyes stared at the flyer in the girls' left hand.
Izumi then looked at the flyer and then handed it to Honoka, "You can have it. It's a sort of contest for school idols in Japan."
Kotori hoped that it was going to be useful and Umi thought that it's going to be embarrassing situation, which was why that she'll find out about that "useless" contest.
Love Live? Honoka thinks to herself, What's that?
She wanted to find out more as she listened to the calm girl.
"It's said that you can win a ton of money if your idol group is hailed as the winner. I heard that a school idol group named A-Rise were making a name for themselves." Izumi replied, while only looking at the window, looking out at the view as she continued. "Why Kosaka? Do you think that forming a school idol can help for our school?" She then faced her with a serious look.
"School...Idol..." Honoka repeats. She began to think hard about what the girl had said and then her face had brightened. "THAT'S IT! THIS IS PERFECT! THANK YOU SO MUCH!" She quickly shook the girl's hands happily as she turned towards her friends.
Izumi sweat dropped at the cheery girl's antics as she saw Honoka going back to her group, the black haired maiden hoping that the teacher would be here soon.
Kotori saw that the cheerful girl was waving a flyer thanks to Izumi as Umi raised an eyebrow to her. "Honoka-chan, you seem to be happy. Are ready for our quiz when the teacher arrives?" Kotori asked, amazed that he friend had become instant happy, Umi wondering Honoka held in her hand.
"What is that?"
"We can become school idols!" Honoka blurted out. "That's what this flyer is for!"
Umi raised another eyebrow, totally disagreeing with her, "I'm sorry, but I'm not totally following you."
"Why not Umi-chan?! Isn't this the big opportunity to save our school?" Kotori didn't know that Umi was not used to being on stage and perform in front of a corwd, especially a very large crowd. Honoka saw that Umi was definitely shy about it, "Umi-chan! Don't you want to save our school?"
Izumi, in the background was sweat dropping and sighed, "Kosaka would definitely find a way."
Umi slowly nodded her head. "Yes, but...don't you know a thing about becoming idols? I mean, I heard it can take a lot of work."
"Then, I'll have to take my chances!" Honoka declared, Determination written all over her face. "If we want to save the school, then becoming school idols is what we'll need to do!"
"Are you willing to do so Honoka? I mean..." Umi blushed in embarrassment, having a hard time imagining herself being an idol. "Ummmmm... Do you think that we can do it, even without the experience of facing a lot of people in front of the stage?"
Kotori pondered for a moment, while looking up at the ceiling, wondering about this school idol plan. "On one hand, Umi-chan has a point on experience and on the other, Honoka-chan has a point for saving our school," She lowered her head and shook, as she stood in the middle on the two's decision making before asking, What shall I do?
**Later, after school**
Honoka walked aimlessly down the halls, thinking about how they're going to become school idols. She thinks about what Umi had told her to. "I know it's hard work," she remarked, "But if it's for saving the school, then I'm willing to do it!" She delcared once more as she walked outside, still looking at the paper when she suddenly bumps into someone.
"Oh! I'm so sorry!" she apologized as she looked up and saw a handsome dark blue haired young man, who is older than her. She notices that he has headphones on, or had them when they partly fell off of his head. "Are you okay?"
"Yes," the man nodded and smiled. "I'm fine."
She then noticed something else about him: his uniform looked very professional. I wonder what school he goes to, she thinked to herself.
"Um miss? Is there something wrong?" The man asked, tilting his head as his friend went back to his home, the guy actually being an art student who only learned a bit of music. His magenta eyes were just gawking at her, as she seemed to be focused on his attire, "Is my attire strange miss?"
"No," She replied sheepishly as she chuckled while brushing her hair as he noticed what she was holding in her hand. "What is that in your hand?"
"This?" The girl seems to see that this man was very much into music and wondered, He seems to be too formal. He might think that being an idol is absurd and ridiculous.
He saw that she remains silent after several seconds and no answer came. "Miss?" He asked before she could think of anything, her train of thought stopped as she looked at him, laughing nervously.
"Um...I was wondering... would you be interested...in becoming a performer for music?" Honoka asks as she hands him the paper.
The bluenette then examines the piece of paper, showing it as a flyer for a school idol contest called 'Love Live!'. He covered his mouth via his left hand, chuckling due to how funny it is. "You want me to join in this idol stuff?" He thought that it would be a waste of time and effort because of being a prodigy, as he looks at her with a baffled expression.
Honoka felt she was being offended. "I'm sorry. If you're not interested, then I'm sorry for asking." She takes the paper out of his hand and runs off with the blue haired man looking back. The bluenette shrugged and said to himself, "Crap... Looks like I made a wrong choice of words and offended her." He lowered his head and sighed, regretting his mistake. "I shouldn't have done that."
He was now at a music store, going to buy some CD's and hoping that none of those girls will see him.
However, unbeknownst to him, a violet haired girl was standing nearby, watching him. She pulled out a card and smiled.
"He's definitely the one..." she whispers, as she drew the tarot card into her hand, drawing the Fool, the beginning of a journey. Smiling to herself, she drew another card from her deck, drawing on the Ace of Wands. Soon, he would be a surprising source of help.
"Tch, I wonder if Sousuke is cooking for dinner..." The musician replied to himself and thought before buying a Beethoven CD, paying the cashier while not knowing that the violet haired girl was watching him along with her blonde haired friend, going on to his way home.
**Home (night)**
The young man put away his belongings and plopped on to his bed, turning on his music while staring at the ceiling. A certain painful memory appears in his head, something that he desired to forget from long ago. He was playing the Moonlight Sonata, a melancholic piano piece.
**Flashback**
A young Tsuyoshi was actually seeing that his parents were arguing, shifting to another scene showing them breaking apart and leaving him alone, unable to choose between his music producer father or a dentist of a mother.
**Flashback ends**
He was actually in tears, wanting them to love one another and Sousuke, who was now done cooking, wondering, Why isn't Tsuyoshi coming downstairs? Doesn't he want to eat?
The bluenette wiped his tears and sighed, "I guess I still can't move on, past those seven years." He sat up, thinking about the girl he met today before getting off the bed and then going downstairs before Sousuke calls him out. He saw that Tsuyoshi was wearing a white shirt, with checkered shorts with blue slippers while for Sousuke, a red shirt with green shorts and white slippers.
"What's with the face, Tsuyoshi?" He asked as he noticed his facial expression, seeing him shaking it off. "Nothing." He replied as he sat down for dinner, with the food being veggies and noddles without preservatives and fish. "Itadekimasu! (3)" They both say, giving thanks for the food they have.
"So, how was your walk by the way?" Sousuke asked, while they were using spoons and forks, though they were obligated to use their chopsticks. "I just met a girl from another school," Tsuyoshi said quietly, ashamed of his actions with the glasses wearing man curious as the prodigy continued, eating slowly. "She was offended when I chuckled and baffled that she offered me to be a musician for this idol school group."
Sousuke sighed, holding his glass of water and drinks before talking, "You shouldn't have done that. That must've been quite offensive to the girl, because help was there and you thought that it is ridiculous." He saw that the musician was thinking deep and assumed that he didn't listen.
Tsuyoshi was wondering about the girl he had met just now, while eating and drinking water. 'That auburn haired girl, she has that eyes that said, 'I'm going to save something.'.' He mused as he tried shaking the thought from his head.
"Are you even listening?" Sousuke asked, snapping him out of his thoughts. "Huh?" Tsuyoshi stopped eating, his eyes facing the cerulean eyes of Sousuke. "What is it?"
"You are thinking deep, my man. Is there anything wrong?" The megane asked in concern as the bluenette then sighed.
"I met a girl who was actually offering me help."
"For what?" The curiosity of Sousuke was getting even more higher.
Tsuyoshi groaned, embarrassed as he told him, "School idols."
Sousuke raised an eyebrow. "She wants you, the prodigy, to help her become... a school idol?" He didn't know that there are many of them soon.
Tsuyoshi nodded as he ate with shame, "...Its embarrassing."
"Say, do you know her name?" Sousuke did wonder because meeting one another would introduce a bit and the music junkie didn't comply.
Tsuyoshi groaned and he feels ashamed of his actions, "Its my fault that I offended someone." He was almost done eating, his words causing a blunder.
Sousuke then wonders, almost done as well, "Why are you thinking of your mistakes too much Tsuyoshi?"
"Because I offend someone that would give up someone's dream and I was baffling" He replied as he ate and just as he was about to get up, the glasses boy stopped him.
"Wait," Sousuke begs, while giving him some assurance, "Now's not the time to be sorry for yourself. If anything, you should meet this girl again and try to apologize."
"Really? But our school is from Ikebukuro while that girl school is close to Akihabara," Tsuyoshi sighs and then realized of his actions, nodding with a smile, "You are right. 23 minutes is not that far to take the train."
Sousuke then smiles, giving him a thumbs, while bringing all the dishes to the sink for cleaning
**Meanwhile with Honoka…**
Honoka was in her room, feeling a bit frustrated that she wanted to prove that arrogant dark blue head wrong and show he was being insensitive. "He doesn't know what is going on with the situation at our school!" She then wondered about the bluenette. 'Who is he anyway?' she thought. 'I know he goes to a different school, but did he really have to be that rude to me?' she pondered before shaking him out of her thoughts.
"Nevermind about him!" Honoka got out of bed while going to brush her teeth and declared, "I just have to save our school and become a school idol, along with my friends!" She felt her positive energy return as she returned to bed and slept.
**Meanwhile with Umi…**
The blue haired girl sighed, very much worried about Honoka's idea for them. Being school Idol was actually a good idea. "I don't think that Honoka knows about being an idol works." she muttered as she stood up from where she was sitting on her bed and looked at the mirror.
'But...am I really fit to be an idol, though?' For her, she was actually glad that her friend was willing to step up to the plate to save their school, and being an idol would be perfect.
Umi imagined herself being an idol before getting flustered, shaking her head with her hands on her cheeks. Then she takes a deep breath and tells herself while looking at the mirror, "Well, I have to learn on how to be an Idol, in order to save our school."
**Finally with Kotori…**
While she didn't want the school to close down due to less expenses, Kotori was optimistic about Honoka's idea and thinks with a smile, "I just want our school to be saved and I think Honoka-chan is doing the right thing. But..." She was also thought about Umi's words.
"Umi-chan seemed pretty nervous when Honoka-chan mentioned it." Kotori sighed as she layed on her bed and reflected. "Yet, no matter what happens, I just want the school not to be close down for good!" Kotori thinks about it as she vowed, while clenching her fist with pure positivity, smiling with a wink in the eye. Its time for them to attempt to recruit their schoolmates for the next day. But, in the end, it wouldn't be an easy endeavor.
(1): Usually, the location is the same as Tokyo College of Music.
(2): The structure of the building is reference a real life school, which is called Senzoku Gakuen, a music school from Kawasaki, Japan.
