Summary: Taki muses on what could have been.
“I could have been a star…” Maiko lifted her head, abandoning the book she was reading for just a second, to regard her boyfriend with curiosity.
“Come again?” she asked.
“I could have been famous. The best in Japan. People would adore me and we’d be living an amazing lifestyle,” he told her, his hand gestures big, to symbolize the elaborate life.
“Oh, geez… Taki, not this again,” she sighed, making a crease in the page she was reading before closing the book. He, however, went on, ignoring her plea.
“No, I mean it. I could have. Interviews everyday, parties, famous people left and right, even Ryuichi Sakuma begging for my autograph…” Maiko buried her face in her hands as Taki continued on with his elaborate daydream. He got like this often, allowing Maiko to believe he wasn’t as ‘cool’ as he often said he was.
“Taki, please, this is getting ridiculous…”
“You know it, babe. If it only weren’t for that brother of yours.”
“Don’t bring Shuichi into this,” she told him, pointing an accusing finger in his direction. “It’s your own fault that you let jealousy get the better of you. You stooped to a low level and that’s entirely your fault. Nothing he did was wrong. He only wanted to make it like you did.”
This shut him up. Taki knew she was right. Hell, Maiko was always right, especially when he got in one of these moods. She always knew the right thing to say to shoot him down. He sat down and sighed softly, feeling moody now.
“Still…” he grumbled. “If he hadn’t appeared at all.”
“We never would have met,” she reminded him. He frowned and looked away from her. “Remember? We met at Shuichi’s concert. I stopped you from single handedly ruining the whole thing. Now look at us.”
“Yeah… romantic…” he sighed. She stuck her tongue out at him.
“It doesn’t have to be romantic. I like it this way better,” she told him.
“You do?” he asked, almost sounding worried. He had never been a romantic person, that’s why dating had always been kind of hard for him.
“Absolutely,” she assured him. “You’re a star to me.” He smiled at her, a real smile. She returned it and picked her book up again, just as she always did when these situations came and went as they did. Routines got boring, but if that was what he needed, she’d continue to do it for him.
