Hiiiii. Nice to be in this fandom together with you guys. I started to follow Utapri since last year and I must say, I reaaaalllly love all the characters and music in this anime. I love writing since I was small and this story is supposed to be about my original characters but since Tokiya/Haruka is one of my favorite pairs, I was thinking 'why don't I make them the characters for this story?' So, here is the first chapter and my first try in fanfiction writing. Reviews from you guys can help me writing much better stories. English is not my first language so sorry for any grammatical errors.

CHAPTER 1

'Please take care of Haruka.'

Tokiya pressed the 'send' button after typing a message to his friends. He sighed deeply as he recalled what happened to him this evening before he came home.

He just had a fight. Not just a regular fight with a random or unimportant person but a sudden and tense fight with Syo. It all started when he overheard a quarrel between the said STARISH member and his partner in Shining headquarters.

"Fine! Let's break up if you love Ichinose-san's wife that much!"

The said partner which is also an idol yelled in extreme anger before storming away from the scene. Tokiya tried to comfort his friend when at the same time, he wanted to confront about the fact that the used-to-be hot couple among idols eventually broke up was because of his wife, Haruka but...

Much to the blue-haired idol's dismay, that friend of him suddenly lashed out at him, which led the blue head to believe the possibility that all this time, not all STARISH members were sincerely happy for his marriage with Haruka, their precious composer.

He was too naïve about their true feelings.

"Yes, I broke up with that girl because I still love Nanami! And I bet it's not just me but the reason why the others also have a problem in their love life because they still cannot forget Nanami! Satisfied!? But I bet you don't even care about this, Tokiya. You have Nanami as your wife and that's all matters. To be honest, we still don't understand why Nanami chose you. Just because you are cool, you are like her so-called a knight in shining armor, you can sing, you are good at everything you do, she ended up choosing you. If you ask me, Otoya suits her three times better than you! Now, stay away from me! I don't want to see your face!"

Rather than feeling the urge to punch Syo straight to his face for being that rude, deep inside the heart of the vocalist, he could not agree more to the violinist's statement.

Until now, even after two years since he married Haruka, Tokiya still could not believe that she chose him when he believed that he was the one who had almost zero chance to win the composer's heart.

Does Syo hate me now? He thought miserably. He knew too much about the pink idol's temper. The Prince of Fighting cast had a temper issue to the point of he blurted out something that he did not mean to say. Maybe he was just too stressed out because of his love to Haruka and bumping into Tokiya just made him feeling more terrible because apparently, anybody in his situation would never want Tokiya, out of people in the world to know about his feeling to the blue head's wife.

Maybe I should just apologize to him tomorrow. But... another thought which haunted him quite some times now appeared, caused him to sigh heavily. In the end, he decided to just forget about the conflict just for tonight before heading to his shared bedroom with Haruka.

Meanwhile, Haruka's eyes stared deep at her image in the mirror while smiling brightly. The white dress with small golden flowers pattern on her chest part made her looked more stunning than usual, thanks to her husband who gave it to her as a present. Today was her birthday and Tokiya had promised to take her somewhere special.

Haruka was so ecstatic about tonight. They both were hectic with their endless work loads yet luckily enough, they both had a day off tonight to spend together.

Apart from getting exhilarated about what Tokiya had planned for her, she, in fact, had her own surprise for him. She stroked her tummy lovingly while imagining all sorts of Tokiya's reaction after learning about the good news...

She was currently pregnant with their child. Someone that they were long-awaited.

All of sudden, she could feel a pair of muscular arms embraced her back. Panic totally surrounded her as she quickly put her hand away from her stomach, getting worried if Tokiya would get suspicious of her clichéd gesture which you could only get from a pregnant lady.

"You look so beautiful, Haruka," his sweet voice which was never tired of praising her sent her face blushing. A few years had passed but the fact that she has always being stunned by Tokiya's voice has never changed. "How I wish I can look at my wife like this just for a bit longer... or maybe for a couple days more..."

Haruka's expression turned puzzled. She turned her head so that her eyes could meet his.

"What do you mean?"

Tokiya chuckled, amused by her confused look. However, he did not feel like answering her. Instead, he tightened his embrace, indicating his unconditional love for her.

"By the way, Haruka, is there something bothering you lately? Or rather, something that you keep as a secret?"

"A.. a secret?" her face turned a bit pale before struggling to get calm again. "No.. I am not. Why should I keep a secret from you? You're my husband, of course, I will tell you everything if they really bother me."

"Yeah, you're right," Tokiya pulled away from his hug but his chummy and sweet smile was still the same. For some reasons, his mesmerizing blue eyes looked a lot more loving than usual. "I don't know. It's just that... You have been spaced out a lot these days. I was wondering if I am the one who made you...."

"No, Tokiya-kun.. Don't say like that..." she quickly caressed his cheek, trying to convince him.

Well, yeah, I have been spaced out a lot because of you but not in a bad way. In fact, I am so excited to let you know that we are expecting a child, Haruka controlled her thin lips from forming a smile again. It was not the right time for Tokiya, her beloved husband to know.

Only a few hours left and you will know. But, ahh, I really can't wait to tell you tonight.

"In fact, I am so happy to be your wife. Never once in my life, I felt regretful to fall in love with you.."

"Is that so?" the usually cool face of Tokiya curved a small smile. He grabbed both her tiny hands before kissing them.

"Yes," she smiled contentedly when his lips touched her hands until she realized something strange.

Somehow, the long kiss didn't feel right for Haruka. Yes, it was affectionate as usual but...

Words could not describe how odd she felt right now as the lips of her husband still touched her hands.

Now, she felt that Tokiya was keeping a secret from her as well.

"If that's the case, I would like to apologize if I cannot be a perfect husband for you. You know, after my parents got divorced and my mother finally left me, I lived my life alone. It did feel lonely but I didn't have any choice. Singing is the only thing I have and I needed to strive for that. That's when I met you and only God knows how grateful I am when you chose me at last. Thank you so much, Ichinose Haruka. Thank you so much for being an amazing wife for me. I love you and I always do."

Her golden eyes slowly fulfilled with tears but she did not want to be a wet blanket for their moments. Both of them were supposed to have a date tonight.

Yet, each of his words sounded too heart-breaking. Yes, it was a beautiful confession and not everyone could be as lucky as her but like the kiss on her hands, those words did not sound right in her ears.

In fact, it sounded like a farewell.

"I love you too," her voice broke a bit yet she felt more broken as his facial expression changed a bit.

It looked genuinely happy. Just like when she confessed her love to him for the first time.

"Thank you, Haruka. It means a lot to me.." He pulled her into his hug before kissing his forehead softly.

Another word from him and I will burst into tears. No, I can't ruin the moment. Slowly, she pushed his chest a bit.

"Shall.. shall we go now? I am so excited about the date."

Without waiting for his answer, She quickly stepped out from their bedroom.

His smart phone vibrated as he received a reply from Otoya.

'Of course, I will. But why so sudden, Tokiya? Something's wrong?'

The blue head just smiled bitterly.

"Haruka? Haruka!?"

Haruka opened her eyes slowly as she felt her shoulders were shaken.

She turned to her right side. The image of Tokiya with much blood flew from his forehead sent her to horror. Just what happened to both of them actually? They were on their way to the 'special place' that Tokiya kept mentioning to her before suddenly when they passed through a dark road, a car suddenly hurtled at them.

And after that, she could not remember anything until she came to herself again.

"Thank God, Haruka..." a smile formed as Haruka opened her eyes fully after many difficulties.

"Tokiya, what happened to your face? Why are you bleeding? Auch!" she tried to reach his face yet a shock of pain attacked her legs.

It was broken due to the impact of the cryptic car.

To make it the worst, there was no one around for them to ask for a rescue.

"Are your legs hurt?" he was extremely dizzy but he needed to check Haruka's condition first.

"A lot.."

"It's okay. You would be fine. I would call for a help.."

As he struggled to search for his smart phone, his eyes caught something scarier. The black car which was the culprit for the accident suddenly dashed towards them head-on and mercilessly. Even Tokiya could not tell who the heck was the jerk but one thing for sure was...

The black car's unknown owner was determined to finish them off tonight...

So, this was not an accident! The mysterious man was a killer, to begin with.

"Haruka!" as his mind only thought about rescuing his wife, Tokiya who was also severely injured struggling to drive again while fighting with his shaken vision. As the black car was so near with them when he finally managed to start his car, he knew they did not have any time to escape.

So, he ended up swerving to the right so that he would be one who took the brunt of the crash.

Even it might cost his life; he was more than willing to sacrifice it for her.

"Tokiya!"Haruka's scream followed after an insanely loud sound, coming from the two crashed cars.

Another crash attacked them, resulting an unspeakable pain and blood from Tokiya's body.

"Tokiya, just..just what are you trying to do? Why did you..." Haruka's tears streamed down her face. It felt much more frustrating when she could not even move her half-injured body. She could not believe what was happening right now. Her mind was just frozen when she could feel more blood flew out from Tokiya's body.

"It's..okay. As long as it did not crush you..." her husband's voice sounded weaker but it still attempted to comfort her. "I am your husband, right? A husband should shield his wife."

"No, no... please don't..." her body shivered as the fully-black dressed and masked culprit got down from his car and took her out after rushing to her side.

"No, let me go! Please let me go! Tokiya!" the guy just brutally pushed her onto the ground, caused her body especially her injured legs felt more painful.

And also her stomach... blood slowly flew from her crouch.

Our baby!

"I've waited for you since a long time ago, Ichinose Haruka..." the shaky and rough voice made her paralyzed due to being so scared. He sounded so much like a psychopath. "You should be his... You cannot be with the bastard... You..you should be his..."

What the hell was this bastard talking about? Who was 'his'?

"Who are you? Please..don't hurt me.." she struggled to crawl backward as the deranged man tried to touch her. "Tokiya!"

"Shut up, you bitch!" the slap attacked across her face, caused her lips bleeding. "All you know is Tokiya! What about him? How dare you guys announced your marriage that easily! He has been in love with you such a long time. He suffered because of you! I cannot accept that so tonight, you will be his! I will take you to him!"

"Don't!" Tokiya interrupted all of sudden before pushing the psychopath away from Haruka with his limited energy. The culprit fell down straight onto a rock.

"Dear, are you okay?" unable to resist the pain from the crash anymore, Tokiya landed on top of Haruka.

"I.. I am fine..." Haruka's hand shivered as she stroked Tokiya's hair. His face was ashen while his eyes were half-opened. "Tokiya, you look much..."

Haruka could not finish her words as the culprit suddenly hit Tokiya's back with a baseball bat, enough to make Tokiya screaming in pain but his hands still embraced his wife tightly.

"You son of a bitch! This chick is his! Just go away and die, won't you!" The guy turned crazier as he hit Tokiya again.

"No, don't hit him! Please don't..." Haruka's attempt to gain sympathy was completely a fail. "Tokiya, please stay away from me. You will get killed! Run, Tokiya! Just leave me here!"

"I won't..." Tokiya was positive that most of his bones were broken including his legs. "I can't leave you.. I need to protect you here..."

"No! Please stop!" Haruka lost her mind as she could hear the sound of blood vomiting from Tokiya.

"Calm down, Haruka. He.. he will stop," he pulled her closer to him. The pain from being attacked nonstop from his back slowly killed him yet all that mattered right now was his wife.

"Tokiya..."

"Please don't cry... Please don't.." he kissed her wet cheek softly before approaching her ear. "Haruka, I am sorry for tonight. I am so sorry..."

"Tokiya, no..."

"I love you, Haruka. I really do. Please...forgive me for not being able to celebrate your birthday tonight... I am so sorry..."

She could feel his body turned heavier as his head rested on her shoulder. His weak breath was nowhere to be heard.

"Tokiya, no... Tokiya, wake up..." she shook his shoulder yet to no avail.

The mysterious guy stopped his attack after realizing that Tokiya did not move anymore.

"He is... dead?" he kicked Tokiya's leg but there was still no responses from the vocalist. Tokiya's condition gave him so much pleasure, enough to make him laugh like a retard. "Serve you right, you bitch! Finally, you paid for the consequence!"

The guy just abruptly left the scene while Haruka screamed desperately and hysterically, calling her husband's name nonstop.

Yet, there was no response from him. Let alone a breath.

"Come on, Syo! Don't be so greedy! Just let me win this time for the God sake!" Otoya complained but was ignored by his friend.

"Otoya, a man should fight on his own. Not by begging his enemy to spare his life for once. You should have more pride," Syo patted Otoya's shoulder dramatically. Seems like he tried to share some words of windosm but in reality, it was just an insult.

"It is just a game, Syo! A game for our leisure time. You made it sound like a world war."

"Or to be more accurate, it is a game so that we can make ourselves less pathetic," Syo chuckled, trying to crack a joke but as his friend, Otoya knew the latent meaning of the 'joke'.

Otoya remained silent as he laid his back beside Syo. The soccer game was no longer the main focus after they played for two hours straight. The silence was filled in Otoya's room before it was cut by the redhead.

"Hey, Syo..."

"Hm?"

"What do you think those lovebirds are doing right now? A candle light dinner, perhaps?" the red head referred to Tokiya and Haruka who were supposed to celebrate the rosette's birthday tonight.

"I don't know... Maybe Tokiya will serenade or something. He has this kind of romantic man vibe so a serenade will suit him the most. He has a good singing voice after all."

"Haha. You are right. It never crossed my mind that used-to-be-aloof guy can be sweet when it comes to his love life but still... I can't guess what is his plan for Nanami tonight."

"It can't be helped, right? Knowing Tokiya, he is the most secretive one. Do you remember, Otoya? We cockblocked him in the hot spring, interrogating him about his first love and all that but he refused to answer us until he fainted out of nervousness."

"Yeah, that one, that one! It's rare to see Tokiya panicked like that, right? We should guess that his first love is Nanami from the start. We all are so dense."

They sighed again. Frankly speaking, they were happy for the couple. As promised, Tokiya has been a very loving husband to Haruka, the girl that they love until now but they could not deny the slight disappointment in their heart when Haruka chose Tokiya instead of them.

A slight disappointment? Not really. In fact, Syo just scolded Tokiya for being the lucky man. He lashed out at the innocent man, bawled out that Tokiya did not deserve to be with Haruka.

Why did I scold him though? He did not do anything wrong. It was Haruka who chose him. It was Haruka who fell in love with the vocalist. He should just be happy for the couple.

No, Syo shook his head. He had always been happy for the couple. Seeing how Tokiya treasured Haruka more than his life was such a great relief for him. The reason why he lashed out at Tokiya was he felt so stressed out and frustrated with himself who just could not move on from loving Haruka.

He just could not control his emotions at that time.

I should apologize to him, Syo grabbed his smart phone but a sudden reluctance stopped him from doing so. Tokiya and him were quite close but they did not spend time together often so they never fought. This was the first fight and who knows, it ended up that tense?

I think it might be proper if I just see him tomorrow and apologize to him face-to-face, he nodded to himself, unaware of the fact that Otoya just observed him in confusion.

"What are you doing, Syo? A few second ago, you shook your head and now you are nodding?" Otoya tilted his head, wondering about Syo's mental state.

"Ehh? No.. nothing. I was just thinking when I should... I should memorize the script," Syo's face was red instantly. "By the way, Otoya... What happens to the Nozomi girl? Do you..." Syo really wanted to know the relationship development between Otoya and his childhood friend. Syo was glad for Otoya because at least, the redhead had a potential girlfriend.

Unlike him who still could not move on. He did not know about Natsuki but it seems like the guy was too happy with his endless upcoming jobs to grieve for somebody's happy marriage. The guy is an optimistic guy after all.

"I am still considering about that. I don't want to hurt her feeling when I still love someone else. She's a nice girl, Syo. Way too nice," Otoya's mind now was distracted by the soft-looking face of Nozomi. His teammates even called them a match from heaven, due to their similar personality. Nozomi loves children and very upbeat just like him.

"I wish I have tons of works like Natsuki tonight," Syo sighed. "So that I will not have time to think about how happy Haruka and Tokiya are."

"And I wish I can move on and start loving another girl like Cecil," Otoya also sighed, expressing jealousy towards Cecil who currently had a girlfriend. He was currently making some preparations for his wedding in his country.

"Speaking about Tokiya, did you receive a weird message from him, Otoya?"

"Yeah! He said something about taking care of Nanami, right? I wonder why, though. As if we will ever let her alone if she needs us. I asked him but so far, I haven't gotten any reply."

"Beats me.."

As they both lost in their own thought, Syo's smartphone was ringing loudly, sending both of them slightly screamed out of shock.

"Speak of the devil.." Syo muttered before clicking his tongue upon learning that it was Natsuki who called him. "Hello, Natsuki.."

"Syo-chan!" he expected a bubbly voice from the big guy but instead, it was a frightened voice. "Have you watched the news?"

"What news?"

"About Tokiya-kun and Haru-chan!"

"What?" Syo quickly grabbed a remote control before switching on the television.

"Syo, what's wrong?" Otoya's red orbs glued to the television screen before it turned wider as he learned what was the point of the news. "Syo, that's Tokiya's car..."

Tokiya's posh car was in an extremely bad shape.

"Just what happened..."

The singer was dead from shielding his wife, Ichinose Haruka from the culprit.

Both Otoya and Syo gasped in ultra shock.

"Tokiya..." Otoya's tears started to drop while Syo...

His mind froze. There was no way he could apologize to Tokiya tomorrow, let alone seeing him.

Masato and Ren just stared at each other before Ren sighed bitterly.

"I really cannot hide anything from you, Hijirikawa."

"What do you expect? You called me this late at night just to hang out together. You have problems and since I troubled myself accompanying you tonight, you might as well share it to me."

Ren took a sip of coffee while taking a glance at Masato's living room before continuing nonchalantly. "Maaya wants a divorce."

"What?"

"And I think I might as well agree with her for once in my life. We don't have a chemistry after all."

"You mean, you still love another girl instead of your wife," Masato corrected him calmly.

"Lady is the first girl that I even love sincerely. I really want to make her mine the moment Saotome-san allowed us to date but... Icchi, the lucky bastard.." Ren chuckled.

"She chose Ichinose so there is nothing we can do. I know how it feels, Jinguji. I also had a hard time to accept Shizuka as my wife-to-be but my buttler, oji-san advised me to give it a shot. When I could not make Nanami mine, it means Shizuka is meant to be with me so I need to accept her from now on."

"Maaya said she knows that I don't have any feeling to her. It's not like I didn't give a try, Hijirikawa. She has been a good wife to me so I tried to do the same thing by remembering his birthday, giving her presents and stuff but to reciprocate her love... I don't know.. it takes more time than I thought.."

"You should reconsider the divorce, Jinguji."

"Is that so?" being typical Masato who loves peace and being rational as always, Ren could not expect a different answer from that childhood friend of him. "Our life is so typical right Hijirikawa? In STARISH, we are the only members who had partners out of the family arrangement. The others can remain single because they don't have parents who will tell you to marry a random girl for the sake of the company or something."

No answers from Masato but Ren knew that the blue head agreed with him.

Masato's smartphone was ringing while showing 'Kurusu Syo' on the screen.

"Hello, Kurusu?"

"Hijirikawa, Tokiya..."

"Hm? What's wrong with Ichinose?"

"Haven't you watched the news? Tokiya and Nanami were involved in an accident. Tokiya... he is..." Syo's sudden cry made Masato's heart beating fast. His blue orbs met Ren's eyes and from the way the blue head looked at him, Ren got the picture on the spot.

Something atrocious just happened when they both were talking peacefully in the air-conditioned living room.

'Please take care of Haruka.'

Now, they finally got the answer regarding Tokiya's sudden text message.
