Itsuki got cold on the beach while Aoki is staring at the sky

...so I went to the beach in the middle of the night with a pop star. I guess I still wasn't sure this wasn't a dream. but on the way. we talked about regular things like how we missed school and what tv shows we liked. and he asked me a lot about myself and I just blabbed on and on and by the time we got to the beach. I actually almost forgot he was famous. he was just a normal boy in my eyes. we sat on the shore. the star shinning. and it was so beautiful except it was freezing. I tried not to shiver. I don't want him to think I was uncomfortable and that we had to leave. but I couldn't help it when he asked me....

Aoki - are you cold?

itsuki- no.

...I Sutter ed. my teeth clattering. he took off his jacket and gave it to me. finally. I could relax and enjoy being there....

Aoki - what I wanted to say to you is. I admire you.

itsuki- me?why? for yelling at you and making the total fool of myself?

Aoki - yeah. actually. um kind of kidding. but the truth is. my whole life. I could rever stand up for myself. I've always been reserved and shy. and if I'm being honest. Scared. but because of what you did. I finally had the courage to stand up to our manager tonight he has been terrible to me and the others for years and because of you we are free of him now.

...I didn't know what to say. I had no idea being myself and just defending my friends could have such an impact on someone's life like that. we walked along the beach and as we talked some more. I couldn't believe how funny he was. and then out of nowhere it started snowing. we have been so busy talking. we didn't even notice it got cloudy he took my hand while we stood there watching the snowflakes fall I looked him in the eye...

itsuki- thank you for taking me out tonight. I'm having a really good time.

Aoki - everyone thinks I'm happy so happy all the time because of what I do. but to be honest. sometimes. all I wanted do is talk to someone. connect to someone who doesn't see me as just part of their job. no one has ever said thank you for just spending time with me.

itsuki- I'm sorry to hear that. those people don't believe how lucky they are to have you.

...he looked into my eyes in that tiny little moment suddenly. became an endless Ocean. he leaned to kiss me. I closed my eyes I couldn't believe it. my first kiss was gonna be with the biggest popstar In the world. then a wave washed over our feet and I scream from the cold. he laughed. and I did. too and then suddenly. a warm light fell over me. it's pink and yellow and purple. and I realized it was the sunrise. we had been there all night!...

itsuki- oh no. I'm gonna get in so much trouble with my parents.

...he got me back as soon as he could. when he parked in front of my house. and he said......

Aoki - if you ever wanna come to my concert again. text me or I'll get you in. and use those words and come backstage to visit me.

...I leaned over and kissed him. the kiss made time stand still all over again. I swear that moment. even the sunlight froze. when I pulled away. I was a little embarrassed. I'd done it without even thinking. I wondered what he would say. he just smile and said......
