"Zakki, I heard you are still hanging out with that sensei, who cosplayed Koizumi at last year's school festival" Kazuma sat next to him and teasingly grinned at him "I heard from my niece that sensei is always looking forward to see you"

"Well, we're exchanging information after all. She's into idol anime now, and after helping me with gathering information, we still hang out. We are actually baking together too. And good thing she finally stopped calling me with with san." Shimazaki explained

"Then, is there any progress?" Kimura asked since he was listening to their conversation

"Progress?"

"You've been hanging out with her for months now. And you obviously like her. Then any progress?" Kimura again asked, though he sounded as if he was teasing, he was seriously asking about it

"That... she's not really interested in having a relationship, so she hasn't realized that I like her. But I enjoy being with her, so I wanted to stay like this for now"

"But, once she realizes it, she might think that you only like her because she cosplayed Koizumi, and coincidentally looks like her too." Kimura responded making Shimazaki in silence

"As always, Ryouhei's words are really interesting to hear" Terashima commented, who was sitting next to him

"But he is right" Shimazaki sighed "it started from there, but now I'm really interested in her"

"Hmmmm, a sensei, huh..." they all turned to Suzuki Tatsuhisa, who was sitting on one side, holding his manuscript, smiling suspiciously

"Eeto... Tatsuhisa-san?" Shimazaki called him but he smiled as response. "Nothing..."

The other casts of Servamp arrived and they started their recording for a Drama CD.

~

"Are you going to see her again?" Kimura asked but Shimazaki shook his head "eh, that's new. You always see her every Thursday"

"It's the birthday of her colleague today, so they'll go celebrate it."

"So you'll come with us today? We'll go drink today" Kimura invited him

"Sure, I'll go"

Kimura excitedly asked the others too, but not all joined them since the others have schedule after. (A/N: I'll leave who joined to you, but Ryouhei and Tattsun are there)

They headed to a nearby barbecue restaurant, and there occupied one long table. They were loud, but the other guests didn't mind it

But since they all have schedule the next day, they only stayed for four hours. Even though they wanted to drink still, they hold back and planned to go on their next recording.

As they were paying for the bills, Shimazaki was putting getting his wallet from his bag, but he was surprised to what he saw outside. He hurriedly stood up and gave his wallet to Kimura

"Ryouhei-san, I'll leave my bill to you." He told him leaving also his things behind. The others were confused, but let him go.

"Did ge see that sensei or what?" Suzuki asked confusedly, but the others also didn't know

As for what he saw, it was (F/N) being dragged by someone Shimazaki didn't know. He caught up with them, and immediately grabbed the arm of the guy who was dragging her.

"It's obviously she didn't want to go with you. Get off her" Shimazaki angrily told him then looked at (F/N), who was obviously scared "didn't you go out with your co-workers? Who is this guy?!"

"M-my ex..." she answered in low voice "I was with my friends when he saw me coming out of the restaurant and just dragged me"

"Who the hell are you?!" The man angrily asked, freeing (F/N)'s arms "don't butt in! It's our problem!"

"I can't do that! I can't just leave my girlfriend with you!" Shimazaki moved (F/N) behind him and glared at the man in front of him

"Girlfriend? You are (F/N)'s boyfriend?!"

"Yeah, have problem with that?" Shimazaki was so nervous that the guy might find out that he was lying, but he was surprised when (F/N) didn't react

"I am surprised that you got a boyfriend, and a guy like this?! Are you for real?!" The man was about to advance towards him but he halted and moved back

"Do you have any problem with our friends here?" Suzuki stood next to Shimazaki and asked the guy. The others also stood next to Shimazaki, and they were all having serious face, glaring at the guy

The man clicked his tongue, and glared at Shimazaki "we're not done yet, (F/N)" once he said that, he immediately left

"Too bad, he left" Kimura chuckled but they all looked at Shimazaki who was talking to (F/N) worriedly

"It's so red. Are you okay?"

"Y-yeah.. thank you, Zaki. And I apologize that you got involved"

"I involved myself. Also, I pretended as your boyfriend."

"No... that saved me, thank you very much"

"So this is the rumoured sensei?" Suzuki asked, making Shimazaki realized their situation "you completely forgot our existence, don't you?"

"Ah... no... that's not it.." Shimazaki stuttered, but then cleared his throat "I am sorry, and thank you. This is (L/N) (F/N). These people are my co-workers, they are also seiyuu"

"Nobunaga, send her home. It's already this late, and that guy might follow her again" Kimura suggested in which the others also agreed

"No, I can go home by myself. I already troubled him, I-"

"It's fine sensei. Ryouhei-san is right. Also, my manager will pick me up here. I can send you home" Shimazaki retorted and assured her that it's all okay.

"Then, drop me home too" Suzuki yawned and smiled towards (F/N)

"Tatsuhisa, read the ambiance" Kimura sighed "I can drop you home. My manager is on his way here too. For the meantime, should we wait at a cafe?" Kimura suggested and pointed at the cafe across the road.

However, only Shimazaki, (F/N), Kimura and Suzuki went. The others decided to stop by somewhere first, and their managers would pick them up later. They stayed there for couple of minutes, until Kimura's manager arrived, leaving Shimazaki and (F/N)

~

"Again, I am sorry to what happened a while ago" (F/N) bowed down, but Shimazaki shook his head

"Don't be. I involved myself. And again, I should apologize since I pretended to be your boyfriend. However, is it okay, if I know why was he like that?"

"There's really no deep reason. Also, that was years ago, 5 or 6 years ago? In the first place, it was him who broke up with me."

"Did, did he cheat on you?"

"No, not cheat but in able to go out with the girl he was interested to, he broke up with me. But the girl had someone she liked. He wanted to get back together, but no, I refused." She chuckled and sipped on her coffee "that's why I am really not interested in having a boyfriend"

"But... that happened a long time ago" Shimazaki mumbled, but he wasn't expecting (F/N) to hear it

"Yeah, you are right." (F/N) smiled that made Shimazaki curious what was the meaning of that smile and response

Not long after, Shimazaki's manager arrived. They send (F/N) to her house, and she repeatedly thanked them.

~next day~

"(F/N), were you okay last night?!" The teacher, who were with her last night, worriedly asked her at the same time

"Yeah, sorry for worrying you. Someone saved me, so I was okay"

"Saved you?" They asked and they all gasped seeing her face turning red

"Yeah..." she responded in low voice, and a smile of relief "last night, for a long time, I realized something and now, I wish that we weren't pretending last night"

"Wow, that guy really did something incredible then that made you think that." One of the teachers commented

"Yeah, to think that we will be able to see (F/N) like this. I wonder who is that guy" another one commented

"Who you asked? Its obvious that it's the usual Thursday guy" when another teacher said it, (F/N) couldn't hide her expression. "See"

"No... that..."

"But isn't he famous? Also, he became your friend because you look like his anime idol?"

"But isn't that nice? Her anime idol became a 3D" her response made the teachers speechless

~skip time~

Even though (F/N) realized that she likes Shimazaki, she acts the same as always. Shimazaki also acts as usual. However, instead of seeing each other every Thursday, they would meet after class most of the time, since Shimazaki was worried that (F/N)'s ex might ambus her after class. But because of his schedule too, he couldn't go and see her sometimes, but he kept in touch with her.

"Coward"

"Eh?" Shimazaki looked at Kimura and chuckled "Ryouhei-san?"

"There will be no progress if you are like that. Work it out Nobunaga. Ask her to go out. Or if you can't, invite her to go once during your recording or an event. It will never work out if you will not make the first move."

"Ryouhei-san is the one getting frustrated" Eguchi laughed at Shimazaki

"Besides, don't just keep on pretending. Go out already" Kimura sighed

"Ahre, Ryouhei and Egu are here." Kamiya entered the recording studio, and was surprised seeing the two "are you new characters for Saiki?"

"Our recording was here too. I'm done for today, just chilling here and I am talking to this guy here" Kimura responded

"To Nobunaga? Why?"

"Listen to this Kamiya-san" Kimura complained to Kamiya about how Shimazaki still didn't have any progress

"Just invite her out. Its so unlike you. I know you are understanding, but you are also assertive" Kamiya commented, sitting down next to Shimazaki

"No, that's not it senpai. Because (L/N) doesn't have any interest in that."

"She'll never have an interest if you will not drop a hint" his senpais advised him, but Shimazaki still didn't want to cross the line since he wanted to be her side.

~

Later that day, Shimazaki headed to the school and was surprised seeing (F/N) already standing outside the school.

"Ah, sorry for the wait"

"It's okay. I just came out... Eeto... Zaki...?"

"Hmm?"

"He was the senpai from last time, right?" (F/N) asked, making Shimazaki wonder, but flinched once he realized Kimura behind him

"Ya, I accidentaly saw you a while ago, so I got curious and here I am" Kimura energetically greeted them, but Shimazaki knew that he was lying "hello, sensei. It's been a while. I'm Kimura Ryouhei"

"Hello, nice to meet you. Thank you from the last time" (F/N) bowed down and was at lost since she noticed that Shimazaki became nervous

"Ryouhei-san...? Eeto.."

"I apologize for becoming a third wheel in your date, but I wanted to ask Nobunaga"

"Y-yes?"

"Are you free this weekend?"

"Eh?"

"I have this place I wanted to go, but I cannot enter it"

"Is that so? Sorry, I have an event this weekend"

"Then, how about sensei? Its a woman's shop actually. So I wanted to invite the both of you. But since Nobunaga can't, can you go with me? Just the two of us?"

"Eh? Eeto?" (F/N) didn't know what to response so she glimpsed on Shimazaki, and he was also at lost. But the Kimura again pleaded "eeto... I understand. If its okay with you, I'll go with Kimura-san"

"Really?! Thank you! It's just for 2 hours! I'll meet you here by 4pm. Since I have work before that. Thank you! Then, I'll leave the two of you now" and as he said, Kimura left, waving at them and thanking (F/N)

"Eh? That easily? It's already decided?!" Shimazaki asked in disbelief

"Isn't it fine? He's Zaki's senpai at work, so it will be fine." (F/N) assured him, but he didn't know that (F/N) just wanted to ask Kimura about Shimazaki, and most of all, Shimazaki didn't know what was on Kimura's mind.

~

Saturday arrived and Shimazaki was with other seiyuu on the waiting room. They had finished the rehearsal, and just waiting for the event to start. The event would start at 5 in the evening, but he was nervous with other thing.

"What's wrong?" Tatsuhisa asked curiously

"Ah, no."

"You kept on checking your phone. Waiting for a message from that sensei?"

"No... that's not it"

"Hmmm?"

"She is actually with Ryouhei-san" Shimazaki responded that made Suzuki laugh loudly

"So he marched first before you?"

"Eh? I don't know what Ryouhei-san is thinking. But, I asked if they already met, I haven't received a reply"

"Just leave them on their date and focus on the event" Suzuki patted his back, but he sounded as if he was teasing him.

~

After the event, they took pictures at the backstage first before changing their clothes. As Shimazaki was changing, he flinched when he remembered about (F/N) and Kimura. He got his phone and was surprised when he received a message from Kimura that he wanted to meet up with him in a cafe restaurant near the event hall. He also received a message at 4:50 from (F/N) with a picture of what they bought

"Sorry for not replying. I am still with Ryouhei-san. I am enjoying accompanying him and also bought this along from the store we went to. Good luck on your event"

"She calls him as Ryouhei-san now..." he mumbled and sighed. He replied to Kimura and told him that he would be there as soon as he could.

~

"Nobunaga, here" Kimura called him as he entered the restaurant. He headed to where Kimura, who was sitting by himself on a four seater table at the very end table on the right side of the restaurant. Shimazaki frantically sat down, curious from Kimura's smile "how was the event?" He asked as he moved back and rested his back on the wall

"It ended well" he replied "uhm.. how was-"

"Ah, as what we talked about, I asked her to buy this for me. I explained to her that this is for KiraKira Beat R. I also bought one for her, as a thank you for today."

"I-is that so? Well, as long as she enjoyed"

"She really enjoyed it." Kimura responded as he sipped his coffee shifting his eyes towards the couple who entered the restaurant "Nobunaga-kun, are you really okay with things between you and (F/N)?"

"Yeah"

"Even though you like her?"

"Yes, since she has no interest in having a boyfriend, I'll stay like this"

"Hmmmm" Kimura remained silence until he finished his cup of coffee "well then, I wanted to drink whiskey, I will go home now. I'll leave the two of you, and hope things will work out"

"Eh? Two?" Shimazaki asked and as Kimura stood up, Shimazaki also did, and there he realized that (F/N) is sitting on the table before theirs

"See (F/N), this guy is like this. So, I've done my part. It's up to the two of you to work it out. I am expecting a good result. Let me know in person. See you on Friday, Nobunaga"

~

(F/N) sat down to where Kimura was sitting. The ambiance was so awkward that neither of them were talking.

However, Shimazaki gathered all his courage and started the conversation.

"I-I didn't know that you were there. So you heard?"

"Y-yes. Actually, Ryouhei-san was the one who planned that. I was sitting on the other side, and when you arrived, I moved there."

"I don't know what to say"

"I don't know that you feel that way. I apologize for not realizing it sooner. I asked Ryouhei-san about you, your work and other things. And to my surprise, he showed it to me, the Shimazaki Nobunaga as a seiyuu"

"Showed it to you?" He asked confusedly

"Ah, yes, actually, we really went to the store, but after that we went to your event."

"Eh? Are you serious?"

"Yeah, seemed like a friend of Ryouhei-san supposed to go with him, but he did the negotiation so he gave the ticket for me instead. I enjoyed the event, even though I don't know anything about it. I realized things late, and I realized how far Zaki, however, I know one thing, I like you and not the seiyuu, but the ordinary Shimazaki Nobunaga. That's why-"

"Uhm-" Shimazaki interrupted her and seriously looked at her "let me say it"

"Eh?"

"(L/N) (F/N), I like you. Please be my girlfriend, for real"

Even though (F/N) didn't want to cry, tears ran down her cheeks, and a bright smile flashed on her face "please look after me from now on"

Shimazaki couldn't contain his emotion, and held her hand "I need to treat Ryouhei-san with a nice alcohol, and also Horie-san"

"Alcohol?"

"Because of Ryouhei-san, this will never happen. And since he really loves alcohol, I'll treat him. And of course, Horie-san, since he invited me on your school's festival"

"Then, let me give my thanks too"

"You don't need to, but, on Friday, we have a recording for Servamp on Friday. Do you want to go to the recording studio? It's 5 in the evening"

"I'll be happy to. I need to thank Ryouhei-san too for what he did today"

"Also... it is my selfish request... call Ryouhei-san, by his last name... it took time when you called me by my nickname"

"I understand, Nobunaga." She responded, but Shimazaki pouted his lips "I understand, Zaki"

~Friday~

"Yo, I heard what happened. How was it after that? Did it work out?" Kazuma asked excitedly, and the others were also curious, and so they gathered near him.

Shimazaki was so embarrassed from their non-stop questions, and he couldn't help but smile as response, a big wide smile

"Nobunaga, we saw this sensei outside." Kimura and Suzuki entered the recording studio and behind them was (F/N),

"I thought you would message me when you arrived outside"

"I was about to when Kimura-san saw me. He said not to message you"

"Kimura-san?" Kimura asked confusedly "hmmmm, then?" Kimura smiled teasingly as their eyes were on them

"Thank you very much. Everything work out perfectly." Shimazaki stood next to (F/N), and wrapped his hand on her shoulder "we're going out now. So after recording, as a thank you, let's have a drink today, my treat"

"Yosh! It's Nobunaga's treat today! Since he got a girlfriend!"

"Eh wait, Tatsuhisa-san?!"

But everyone was already loud, resulting for Shimazaki to just agreed on it.

"I'll help in paying."

"No, don't worry. I can handle it."

"(F/N), Nobunaga," Kimura called them and made a peace sign "Congratulations. Good thing it work out"

And together, the two responded "Yes, it work out, thank you very much."
