[Ai x Reader] Crescendo 1

Music filled the busy streets of Japan. A few people looked up at the screen displayed on top of a building. A blue haired boy started singing, as his eyes gazed out of the screen. He closed his eyes for a minute before opening them slowly. His eyes were of an oceanic color that seemed to bore into yours.  I gazed at them before hurrying off to the building with the screen. Hopefully I will be able to do well on my interview.

“Excuse me…” I said as I walked into the building. A group of boys chattered and laughed and turned to my direction. One of the guy walked up to me and leaned down.

“What do we have here?” he purred. I backed away immediately and headed to the main desk. The guy stared at my back as I walked away with one of the tour guides. After I left the room, I instantly sighed in relief.

“This is the office,” the tour guide said. “I wish you luck”. I thanked her and entered the room.

 "Welcome to Shining Production" a man in a suit said. He flashed me a smile before twirling and landing in front of me. "Soooo you are (l/n) (y/n)!" he continued to say.


"It's an honor to meet you, Shinning-san" I said as I bowed to him. Shinning chuckled and pulled a contract and a pen from his pocket. 'How does that even fit in there?' I thought, looking bewildered. I looked over the contract and signed it.


"You are all seeeeeeet, (y/n)," he said. "Compose many songs that will reach everyone's hearts!" After he said that, Shinning jumped out of the window. It took me a while to realize that I have been standing there doing nothing.


The contract not only had information but the map of the whole building. A sticky note pointed to one of the buildings, labeled music room. "I better go to the music room" I thought to myself.


As I walked out of Shinning's office, another group of boys passed by. A brunette grinned at me, while the gray haired boy stared. A royal looking person scoffed at their actions and kept walking farther away from them. I laughed silently at their childish actions.


"You're going to bump into Starish" a voice, not too deep or too high said. I looked over my shoulder and gazed at 'him'. He's the one who was featured on the screen. A loud commotion rang in my ears, cutting off my thoughts.


"Watch where you are going, lowly peasants!" the royal looking guy said. "You weren't looking either!" a blonde short boy said and crossed his arms. "Both of you weren't looking" the blue haired boy said calmly.


"If it isn't the little lamb" a familiar sickening sweet voice said. My eye twitched. From now on I resent that name. I gazed at the flirt and sighed. A pink haired girl walked over to me and bowed.


"I am very sorry that Jinguji-san made you uncomfortable" she said politely. I blinked for a second and immediately bowed back. "H- He wasn't  really bothering  me" I said as I clutched my map.


The pink haired girl's eyes widen. She immediately blushed in embarrassment. "(l/n)-san" she said. "I'm sorry for not recognizing you!" She laughed nervously. "My name is Nanami Haruka, it's an honor to finally meet you" Haruka said.


I laughed and said "The honor is mine".  Haruka smiled and shook my hand. Meanwhile all the boys looked confused at Haruka and me.


"If you don't mind," Haruka said. "Can I look at one of your music sheets?" I nodded and opened up my bag to reveal many different color folders.


"Why do you have many folders?" Haruka asked. "Every folder is an emotion" I said. "For an example, blue ...is melancholy" I said and handed her the folder. Haruka gently opened it and gasped. The Starish members immediately went to her side and stared at the papers with their mouths wide open.


"I- Is it bad?" I asked timidly. Haruka immediately looked up from the papers. "No!" she said. "I mean the way you compose is so beautiful”.


"Thank you" I said blushing at the compliment. "Who are you going to give this to?" Haruka asked as she handed me back my folder. I smiled and said "Secret"


I looked at my watch and gaped. "I'm sorry but I have to go now" I bowed politely. "Bye (l/n)-san" she said. I walked quickly to the music room and opened the door. A grand piano stood at the corner of the room, near a clothes hanger. I carefully hanged my jacket on the hanger.


The floor was polished and the walls were a smooth cream color. 'This room looks new' I mused to myself. The door clicked open and four people walked in.


"See I told you that was (y/n)-chan!" a hyper voice said.  I tilted my head to the side. Before I had the chance to say anything, Shinning appeared from the ceiling. "(y/n) from now on you will be working with Quartet Night!" he said.


"Work well" Shinning said before dashing off to who knows where. We all gazed at the ceiling before looking back at each other. "My name is Reiji but you can call me Rei-chan!" Reiji said pulling me into a hug. "You're so cute and short!" he said ruffling my hair.


"That's Ran Ran," he said pointing to the grey hair guy. "The one next to him is Camus!"


" I can introduce myself" Camus said.  Reiji ignored his remark and pulled me over to the blue haired boy. "Last but not least, this is Ai Ai!" he cheered while pulling out his maracas.


I laughed and held my hand out to Ai.  It seemed like he was the only normal person in the room. "It's nice to meet you" I said. "Likewise" Ai said, reaching for my hand. "That's not how you greet each other!" Reiji said and playfully shoved me into Ai's chest. I stumbled and my arms gripped onto his button down shirt for support. Ai looked at me and then glanced back at Reiji.


"What do I do?" he asked. Reiji winked and said "Wrap your arms around her" Before I could get away, his arms held me in place. He kept staring at my eyes and I looked away. I could feel my checks heating up every second.

“I have a meeting~” Reiji suddenly said. He winked at me before dragging Camus and Ranmaru by their sleeves. I sweat dropped at his actions.

“Y-You can let go now” I said. Ai gave me a confused look before his arms fell to his sides. I looked over my shoulder and headed towards the piano. I ran my fingers on the smooth surface before setting my fingers on the keys.  I opened up my blue folder and pulled out one of the songs. Ai walked over, looking very interested in the music sheet I was holding.

“I want to write the lyrics for this song” he said bluntly. I smiled and handed the music sheets to Ai. He skimmed through it and pulled out a pen from my bag. I scooted over so he could sit. In less than a minute, lyrics were written on the paper. Ai didn’t waste a second and ordered me to play the piano.


“You’re not a bad composer” he said. “You level of composing is higher than our last composer”.


“Thank you” I said. “What should I call you senpai?”

Ai glanced at me and ran his hand through his blue tresses. After a moment of silence and reconsidering, he spoke.

“Ai is fine,” he said. “We will be working together in the future”.

“Then you can call me (y/n)” I said and got off the piano seat. I headed to where my jacket was hanging and picked it up. “Where are you going?” Ai asked. I looked at him and smiled. “I have to ask Shinning-san where my dorm is going to be” I said, pondering if there was a room left for me. The building is quite small. I wonder if Shinning has another place for dorms. “The boxes aren’t going to unpack themselves” I mused a bit.

I reached for the door knob but a hand beat me to it. “Ai?” I asked. Ai looked at me and grabbed my wrist. He opened the door and dragged me down the hall. “Where are we going?” I asked him. He was suddenly picking up his pace. “My dorm” he replied.

Wait. I’m going to his dorm? I wonder why he’s taking me there. Ai abruptly stopped in front of the door and pulled out his card. He scanned his card and the door unlocked.

“H-Hey,” I said. “What are you doing?” Ai looked at me looking slightly bored.  “You’re living here” he stated and let go of my wrist. Ai closed the door, making a 'click' sound.  On the other side of the room were a bed, table, and dresser. A long mirror was also placed near the dresser.   Boxes were piled up on the side of my bed.  How did my things get here?

“I called the movers to move your things here” he said. Ai went over to his bed and sat there watching me. I ignored his stare and began to unpack my clothes. My clothing consists of a few graphic t-shirts, button down shirts, jeans, black skirts, blazers, and sleep wear. I used the hangers inside the dresser and hanged my blazers. Then I placed the other clothing in the draws of the dresser.

I stretched and went to get another box. Ai walked over to me and picked up one of the boxes labeled ‘desk’. I smiled and took it from him. After opening the box, many of my possessions were shown.  “You have a lot of stuff” Ai said and took a binder out. He skimmed through the papers and looked confused at all the writing.

“Oh that’s some of my inspiration ideas” I informed him and peeked over his shoulder. Ai flipped through a few more pages. He seemed really confused at the moment.

“That’s-” I began to say. “(Y/N) IT IS YOUR JOB TO TEACH AI WHAT ARE EMOTIONS” a voice bellowed.  I jumped in surprise at the loud voice booming in my ear. Shinning appeared from the window.

“I thought my job was to be a composer for Quartet Night” I said. Shinning shook his head and ‘tsked’. “Your real job is to teach Ai emotions from now on” he said. “There is no punishment for falling in love”.

I blushed when he said that. It’s not like I’ll fall in love with Ai…right? He’s just my senpai and an idol. Ai glanced at me, looking unaffected by what Shinning said. I inwardly sighed.


A/N: Next time I need to write more dialogue -_- Well anyways, thanks for reading and the next chapter should be coming out in a week.
