What Is Love? [UtaPri: Ai Mikaze Fan Fict]

Are You Jealous? (Again)

"Thank you, thank you." Lily/Crystal bows
as she thanks everyone.

"You did great, you deserve it." Ai whispers
to her as he escorts her back to their seat.

"Thank you.. I could say the same to you."
Lily/Crystal felt her heart beat faster as he
complimented her.

Later, an after-party for the success of their
film was held in a certain hotel. Everyone is
busy entertaining each other. Lily stands there,
busy speaking to people congratulating her.
However, she suddenly caught glimpse of
Aine from a distance, she then remembered
what she said to him last time. He caught
her attention. Lily decided to walk after him
but he vanished along the crowd in an instant.
Even so, Lily refused to waste anymore time.
She looked for him and she found him out
in the balcony. He seemed to be planning to
jump down the building and Lily immediately
stopped Aine by pulling him down.

"Aine! What were you doing?!" Lily asks
him with an angry yet worried tone of voice.

"Oh Crystal... it's you.." Aine sounded miserable.

"What... Are you drunk?!" Lily asks him again.

"Listen.. I've been missing you.." Aine suddenly
grabbed hold of her shoulders.

"Hey calm down!!!" She starts to get even
more worried. "You see.. I'm just here to
 apologize about the other day.. I didn't
 mean to hurt your feelings.." She looks down
and her voice went down as she spoke.

"No, no, it's okay... I've been avoiding you because
  I don't want to be a pain to you anymore.." Aine
forces a smile. "This face.. this body.. this voice.."
Aine suddenly touched a portion of his face. "All
  of it reminds you of him, right? It gives you pain.
  I don't want that. I don't want to hurt my lady"

Lily fell silent. Her mouth almost left hanging open.
She doesn't know what to say to him anymore.

Meanwhile, inside...

Ai was asked to look for Lily..
and so he does search for her.
He is as usual, being followed by Reiji.
Finally, he found the balcony where she is.

But he came in the wrong time..
Ai witnessed Aine steal a kiss from Lily/Crystal.
He fell silent when he was just about to call out to her.
Ai felt something hurt but he doesn't know what it is,
he turns around and walks out of the place quickly,
he bumps into Reiji but only to ignore him.

"Ai-Ai? Where's Lily? What happened?!"
Reiji asks in a hyper manner.

"Ai-kun?!" Lily calls out to him for she
also caught glimpse of him, immediately,
she runs after him but also bumps into Reiji.
"Reiji?!"

"L-Lily?! Err Crystal?!" Reiji exclaimed.
"What happened to Ai-Ai?"

"Umm.." Lily bites her lip and then moves
closer to Reiji's ears and whispers.

"EHH?!" Reiji then seemed shocked and
peaked in, seeing Aine continue to drink
in the balcony. "Um okay don't worry, I'll
handle this." Reiji finally calmed down
and walked away only to chase after Ai.

"Oh dear.. why did this happen?" Lily
gently touches her lips and then walks
back in the balcony again. "You're drunk.
You need to stop!" Lily takes away Aine's drink.

"I'm sorry.." Aine just smirks. He stands up
and leaves. "I wish the best for you my lady."

Once again, she was left silent.
She didn't have the words to say.
The words to comfort him...

Meanwhile, Reiji chased after Ai.
He found him all alone in the hallway.
"Ai-Ai! Wait up!" Reiji finally caught up to
him. "Let's sit down for a while shall we?"

Ai stares at him for a moment but then lets
out a heavy sigh, he finally sat down next to Reiji.
"So? What do you want?"

"I know.. you're feeling something bad right
  now.. and you probably don't know nor understand
  it yet because of err.. well I can't really say or explain
  it.. but I've explained it to you back then.. you just don't
  remember..." Reiji keeps mumbling.

"What?"

"Err umm uhh yeah you don't have to remember that!
  Ahaha.. haha.." Reiji rubs the back of his head as he
lets out a nervous laugh. "Anyway... you're in pain because
 you're in love, you are jealous."

"What? Pain? Love? Jealous?! What the hell are you
  talking about, Reiji?!" Ai became confused.

"H-Hey calm down! I know... I know, it's hard to understand.
  Now tell me, are you jealous?!" Reiji asks him with a
  serious expression.

"I don't know what you're talking about! What the hell
  does being jealous means?!" Ai tries to push him away.

"You're jealous. Yeah, you saw her! You saw her kiss some
  other guy and that pulled the trigger in your heart, it hurt you."
Reiji yells at him but only to tell the truth.

"Hey...---" Ai slowly falls silent.

"BUT! There's nothing to worry about.
  She was yours, and she will always belong to you."
Reiji then suddenly threw his hands on his mouth,
covering it to stop any more secrets from spilling.

"What did you say?" Ai raised a brow.

"Uhh, nothing, nothing!" Reiji lets out another
nervous, fake laugh.

"Whatever.." Ai stands up. Thinking in his mind,
"(I'm jealous? Really?)"
