It is every girls dream to date the person they like. Of course, who wouldn't right? Though there are people who stop half-way because they were rejected, and fall in love to others.

Not me! Since I was young, I kept on telling him I love him! Even though he rejected me many times, I didn't stop. Actually, I was too annoying to the extent that he couldn't get a girlfriend. But when he graduated from high school, he got a girlfriend. I was happy that he went to an all boy school that he didn't get a girlfriend those years. Oh but, the cute old me saved him from that girl.

Indeed I was persistent, but my hard work was paid off. Finally, when I became 21, he asked me out in which I immediately said yes. I was happy! Of course!

But, I couldn't just tell everyone that we started dating. We couldn't, to my friends, to my family, we needed to hide it. Especially to my family. He was the one who said not to tell my family, since he hold a quite few records of being a bad boy. They knew him that was why I had a hard time telling them.

Also, he is quite a famous seiyuu, even my friends are crazy for him.

It's been five years since we started going out, but the only people who knew it were his friend since Middle school, and my best friend. 

~

I should tell my friends about him, but still, there's an issue that I couldn't.

"(F/N), did you finish your thesis report?"

"Yes, barely" I made a peace sign as I made a big wide smile "I asked Azusa to help me with those English terms. How about Miho?"

"What a convenient best friend you have. One more year and she will return, right?" she sat down next to me and sighed loudly "Same, barely made it. But that was so stressful!"

"Oh! But you guys finished it right?" our other classmates entered the room with very loud voice as they approached me and Miho, but at that same time my phone vibrated "Then do you want to go with us this weekend?"

"Weekend?"

"Group date!"

They became loudly as they explained things that would happen this weekend. Me? I giggled because I received a message from him

"You'll go this Saturday, right? You finished your thesis report? Let's celebrate! Let's go on date after!" I immediately responded to his message and I couldn't help but smile and turned red. Just a simple message from him made my heart beat so wild.

"(F/N), you look so happy while looking at your phone. Did you receive a good news or what?" I was back to my senses when I they noticed my expression

"Well, something like that"

"Sorry, but I will not go this weekend!" Miho stood up next to Fuko, "Fuko and I will go to Maihama Theater. There's a seiyuu event!"

"Here we go again, the seiyuu fan combo. You choose them again." our classmates started to whine and complain on Miho and Fuko's decision. But it was amusing to see

"Of course! Kamiya Hiroshi, Ono Daisuke, Sakurai Takahiro, Suzumura Kenishi, Nakamura Yuichi, Irino Miyo, and Fukuyama Jun! I rather go there than go and meet people I even don't know."

"Yes, yes, those old men. They are too old for you give up!" when they said that, Miho and Fuko started to shout at them and explained good things about them. It was the usual routine.

"Speaking of old man, you know the beautiful girl on the class next door?"

"Watanabe-chan? What's with her?"

"She is dating a 35 year old man!" I flinched on how she said it. A tone of disgust

"Ehh?! 35?!" the other's reacted on how they were disgust from what they heard. I averted my eyes and sighed. I remained silence and tried not to be affected by their words

"I saw the man last Monday, and he is really old! They are like father and daughter! A 10 year difference!"

"You shouldn't judge someone based on looks!"

"EH, but she is a beauty then with an old man!"

"Then what about she is a beauty and he is handsome too, but there's a big difference?!"

"You can't see old man with young face, stupid Miho"

"Then here! Can you guess how old these two are?" Miho and Fuko showed them pictures and they were really pissed "See, you can't guess? They look so young but they are already in 40s."

I sighed and closed my ears. Their argument were becoming painful to my ears. They were so loud

"What can you say, (F/N)?"

"Isn't it fine? If they love each other, then let them be. Age is just a number. You can't go against to your feelings"

"Eh, but it is 10 years age gap!"

"They are already old enough to make their decision. Let them be. Can you stop your heart from falling in love with someone?" I stood up and grabbed my bag "I'll go home now. Oh, and I can't go this weekend. I already made a plan"

They remained silence as I walked out of the room. But for Miho and Fuko they giggled and agreed to me.

My friends didn't like the idea of dating an older guy. They found it weird and they were disgusted by this idea.

I could tell Miho and Fuko about him, but I couldn't. Those two were one of those crazy fans who didn't want their seiyuu idols to be in a relationship. There was once a news about Sakurai Takahiro and Mizuki Nana dating, they were so depressed that they didn't know what to do. When the rumor was proven wrong, they were so happy that they told me that they didn't want them to be in a relationship.

"So how can I tell my friends that I am dating Sakurai Takahiro? A 41 year old seiyuu, who is 15 years older than me?"

I mumbled as I walked out of the school. Age is just a number. Besides, since I was young, he is the only one. I don't care about the age gap between us.

Saturday came and I excitedly prepared myself. I rode the train and headed to the event hall. Sorry, Miho and Fuko, actually I would attend the event too. But I would not sit with the audience.

"Yo!" As I got off the subway, a cheerful voice greeted me and I knew it right away

"Takahiro-san!" I excitedly approached him and he was making a big wide smile "You are not in disguise"

"Well, it doesn't matter. I'm here to get you. Are you really sure that it is fine to go?"

"Yeah, I told my parents that I will attend your event. Plus, I'm done with my thesis report, it's fine" I giggled as we both walked out of the subway station.

"They are fine with it, but they don't know that you are going to attend you boyfriend's event"

I laughed to his reaction and agreed "Well, neesan and niisan both made a teasing smile when I told them. Those two are quite keen, so they might know now"

"Well, for now let's enjoy this event then let's celebrate later for finishing your thesis report. Also, next week you will enter your last year in university, right?"

Even though we couldn't hold each other's hand on public, by just talking and walking beside him was enough for me.

We entered Maihama Theater and we were greeted by the staffs. The staffs in his events actually knew me. Why? Well, since he became a seiyuu, I was an annoying kid who followed him behind in his every schedules. They knew how I like Takahiro-san, but they still didn't know that we are going out

"Ah, I knew it, (F/N)-chan is here again" I made a big wide smile to Kamiya-san and Ono-san

"Oh, but it's been a while, I heard you became busy from you school works" Suzumura-san added

"I need a refreshment from stress." I locked my hand to Takahiro-san and chuckled "I need some Sakurai Takahiro vitamins."

They all laughed and for them it was my usual actions towards Takahiro-san

"There she is again, I am always amused seeing you two like that" Fukuyama-san commented and agreed by others

"It is not that surprising if we found out that you two are going out." Irino-san said.

Ah, I wanted to tell them!

"We're actually going out" my eyes widened and looked at Takahiro-san. D-did he just? Eh? "For five years"

"W-wait, eh, is it okay?"

I looked at them and their eyes were wide open "F-for real?"

"Eh why are you all surprised?" this guy here was enjoying this moment "Right, (F/N)?"

"W-well, we are. But I am surprised that you tell them out of nowhere. I was also surprised"

"EHHHH?! It is really true?! Five years?!"

"There's no danger in telling these old man. They will just become jealous, so it is fine"

"Oi, you Sakurai Takahiro! Just because you got a girlfriend don't get too cocky!" Kamiya-san shouted as they were still surprised.

Even though they were taken aback from what they heard, they all looked at me and gave a big wide smile "Though we are late, congratulations. Finally, (F/N)-chan"

These seiyuu, they were all so nice.

"But, to be stuck with this old man, isn't it better to find a man on the same age as yours?" Nakamura-san curiously asked as he put his hat

"Isn't it fine?" Suzumura-san chuckled "They love each other"

The event for Osomatsu-san started, and from the backstage, I was having a good time watching them

I was worried before that people won't accept us, since there's a huge age gap between me and Takahiro-san. I forgot, there were still people who accepted us. Now what should I do? My problem now is my family and friends. Though my best friend Azusa was fine with it, the problem is the others.

~

The event ended and as planned, Takahiro-san and I went on a date, supposed to be. But because Kamiya-san and the others found out about us, they came with us and we ate dinner. Loud as ever, but it was fun being with them

Though all the time, Takahiro-san was holding my hand. Tightly holding it.

As the night continued, Takahiro-san was the one who told Kamiya-san and the others that I needed to go home, so they finally let us go.

"Well, at least we celebrated. But I didn't think that they would also come" Takahiro-san chuckled.

"Our house is just near here. But, do you want to take a detour?" I held his hand. I knew I needed to go home, but I wanted to stay with him a little bit longer.

He agreed and we had a detour. I told him about what happened in school, and of course, about my friends

"I see, so your friends are still not okay with it."

"They don't like two people dating that has a huge age gap. Miho and Fuko don't like seiyuu to be in a relationship. One more year and we'll graduate. I at least want to tell them about you before we graduate" I sighed "My family too"

"Sorry about this"

"No, don't apologize!" I stopped and looked at him straight in the eyes "Is it bad to fall in love with you? I know I'm an idiot to feel this, but I like this feelings"

He blinked his eyes and then he laughed. I pouted my lips that I felt embarrassed to what I just said.

"Cheeky brat" he pinched my cheeks, but then I was surprised that his lips touched mine. "You are right. I am also an idiot to fall for your trap"

We both laughed as he gave me another kiss. We stayed for a little bit and then he sent me home. Seemed they were all asleep.

I entered the house and went to the kitchen to get something to drink, but my spine thrilled when I realized someone sitting on the dining table

"M-mom, since when-?"

"(F/N)" I somehow felt so nervous when mom called my name "I saw you and Takahiro-kun. Are you going out with him?" my eyes widened to her question and I remained silence "Since when?"

"F-five years"

Mom sighed and I could see that she clenched her hands "I don't know what will be your father's reaction to this."

"I'm sorry for not telling"

"I know that you are too attached to him, but I didn't know that it will end up to this" she again sighed and asked me to get water for her "Your father actually doesn't like the idea of someone dating an older guy. Of all people, his daughter is dating a man 15 years older. And to calculate the age, Takahiro-kun is just 9 years younger than your father"

"M-mom,"

She smiled to me and let me sit across her "I don't know about your father, but I'm fine with it. I can't control your heart. Besides, you are old enough to decide on who you love" she drank another glass of water and stared at me "Well, since your father is away, let's talk. Tell me about you and Takahiro-kun"

I was nervous, but mom calmed me down. She listened to me as I told her about me and Takahiro-san. She listened to me and she was enjoying it. Mom told me to keep it for now until I graduate. One more year, huh?

I went to my bed and before sleeping, I messaged Takahiro-san and told him what happened. I also messaged it to my best friend who knew about me and Takahiro.

That night, I just fall asleep clenching my phone on my hand.

Days had passed and the new school year started, and also, my last year in university. But that morning, in our house...

"Hmmm, so you only have one more year left" neesan laughed as she put the bacon on my plate "Dad is going home today from his business trip, right?"

"Yeah," Mom answered and put the glass juice in front of me

"Finally, huh?" niisan flipped the pages of the newspaper and chuckled "Are you telling dad about you and Takahiro-san after you graduate?" I spit the juice I was drinking and looked at niisan "What?"

"I was really surprised, since Takahiro-san is my type. But well, since (F/N) was a kid, she was so attached to him." Neesan added and sat down beside me "Do you think we wouldn't know? Don't underestimate us"

"Since when?" I nervously asked and I heard mom chuckled

"They knew for a long time. I was surprised when the two of them showed up after we talked. Don't worry, they will not tell your father."

I didn't know, but people kept on knowing my relationship with Takahiro-san. Is it the right time now to tell my friends? But, after class, I was stuck with these two

"Oh my gosh, did you hear, Ono-san became a freelancer!"

"I heard! Well, I am still his fan no matter what, right (F/N)?!"

"Y-yeah" I sighed and shook my head. These two didn't let me go home. Takahiro-san also messaged me to just follow what mom said. Also, he wanted to talk to mom personally. Somehow, I wanted to see him, but he became busy with his work.

"(F/N), did you hear? Mika and Hana got a boyfriend. But the others stopped talking to Mika when they found out that she is dating an 8 year older than her" Miho said in low voice "They really don't like that idea. Well, he doesn't look like in his 30s though"

"Well I can say is, he looks older than Kamiya and Sakurai, but those two are older than him" Fuko giggled and again, they started their seiyuu conversation

It was then my phone rang and to my surprise, "Takahiro-san?" I hastily answered it but curious to why he suddenly called "Hello?" I noticed Miho and Fuko looked at me and they became silent

"Where are you?"

"I'm in starbucks with Miho and Fuko, why?"

"I see. Then I'll just let you know where I am right now"

"Eh? Where are you?"

"I'm in your house. Waiting for your father to come out"

"EH? EHHHH?! WHY?!"

"I'll talk to him and tell him about our relationship"

"W-wait! Takahiro-san! Wait a minute!" even though I shouted, the line cut out "What are you thinking? Sorry Miho, Fuko, I need to go home!"

I hurriedly went home and on the way, I was worried to what would happen. My chest, it was hurting so much. I hope it turns fine. Since I heard from mom, for some reason dad didn't like the issue of dating an older guy. Of course, for dad, if he finds out, he'll get mad. Since there's a huge gap between me and Takahiro-san.
